Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu returned to the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant and immediately called Fan Youxiang and Zhang Wanshun to his office. After the two sat down, he said, "I just went to the Ministry of Health, where I learned that our country's current medical field lacks refrigerated trucks that can transport vaccines at low temperatures. I called you two here to ask for your opinions. Should our factory develop special refrigerated trucks? Deputy Director Fan, please tell me your opinion first."

"Director He, I think we should develop refrigerated trucks. Our factory has already mastered the technology of vehicle air conditioning, so we only need to develop a larger-scale air conditioning compressor unit. And didn't you say before that we need to expand the types of trucks in our factory? After all, a single load-carrying truck can only meet the needs of cargo transportation, but cannot meet the transportation needs of some special items."

After listening to Fan Youxiang's words, He Yuzhu did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Wanshun beside Fan Youxiang. Zhang Wanshun said, "Director He, my opinion is the same as Deputy Director Fan's. I also feel that we should develop refrigerated trucks. After all, the ordinary trucks in our factory are too simple in function. The special vehicle production workshop under our factory needs more types of trucks to expand its scale."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's start with a project to develop a large air-conditioning compressor! Once the problem of the air-conditioning compressor is solved, the problem of refrigeration in the car compartment can naturally be solved. Chief Zhang, has the technical department made any progress in the research of future super-heavy trucks?"

"No, our Technical Department 02 is currently working hard to solve the multi-wheel drive problem of the CBK- heavy-duty truck, and we have only arranged a few people to conduct preliminary research on super-heavy trucks." Zhang Wanshun answered truthfully.

"Chief Zhang, I feel that super-heavy trucks should not adopt a single-body truck body. Instead, we should refer to the semi-trailer tractor truck route adopted by foreign countries. In this way, the tractor head and the carriage are not rigidly connected, which can reduce the rigidity requirements of the body. In addition, there is another benefit of this research and development. That is, in the future, the shape of our truck head can use a single mold, which can reduce the production cost. Different trucks only need to use engines and gearboxes with different horsepower according to the needs."

Zhang Wanshun nodded and said, "Then I will go back and talk to the technical staff and ask them to carry out research in this area."

"Deputy Director Fan, have you contacted the university regarding the semiconductor ignition system?"

"We have already contacted Huaqing University's semiconductor department, and they are willing to participate in our factory's gasoline engine semiconductor ignition system project."

"That's good. If you need financial support, don't be stingy. Only by adopting a more advanced semiconductor ignition system can our car performance be better. Well, let's end the meeting here. Chief Zhang, you go back first. I have something to talk to Deputy Director Fan about alone."

Zhang Wanshun nodded and stood up to leave He Yuzhu's office. After Zhang Wanshun left, He Yuzhu said to Fan Youxiang, "Deputy Director Fan, according to the news from the Personnel Department, the recruitment of employees for Dadi Fengshou Farm will be completed tomorrow. Starting the day after tomorrow, the Security Department will conduct a week-long centralized military training for these 5000 employees. After the training is completed, I will take these people to Xiyu Province. How is the production of tractors and trailer buckets going?"

"We are already producing at full capacity according to your requirements. We estimate that 3 tractors and the matching trailer buckets and farm implements will be completed in three days at most. Then they can be loaded and shipped with you."

"As long as it doesn't delay the use of the equipment there, it's fine. Fortunately, the railway from Jincheng to Dihua was completed last year, otherwise we wouldn't be able to go to the Western Region Province to build a farm. When the tractors are produced, transport the materials I asked you to order to the train station. Let the train station load these tractors and the accessories on the wagons first, and then we can set off together by train after the farm workers are trained."

"Director He, you are going to the Western Regions to transport so many goods and materials this time. It will take at least seven or eight trains to carry them all, right?" Fan Youxiang asked.

He Yuzhu calculated, nodded and said, "Yes, it will take about this many trains to carry them, but we don't have to worry about the trains. Minister Wang of the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation promised me that the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation would be responsible for coordinating with the railway department to solve the train issues. We only need to report the departure time to the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation. By the way, Deputy Director Fan, please take some time to contact Director Su of the Personnel Department. Once you are sure there are no problems, report the departure time to the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation so that the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation can notify the railway department to prepare the wagons."

"Okay, I got it." Fan Youxiang hesitated for a moment and then said, "Director He, to be honest, I still don't understand why you want to set up this farm. Our factory's automobile production is developing so well. If we continue to develop at the current level, our factory will definitely be able to lead the development of our country's automobile industry. But you..." At this point he felt that the following words were a bit disrespectful to He Yuzhu, so he stopped.

He Yuzhu smiled and continued, "I gave up my main business of automobiles and traveled thousands of kilometers to run a farm just to solve the problem of food for all the workers in the factory. It's a bit unprofessional, isn't it?"

"Director He, that's not what I meant." Fan Youxiang hurriedly explained.

He Yuzhu interrupted Fan Youxiang and asked with a smile: "Deputy Director Fan, this is the sixth year that we have worked together, right?"

"Yes, I started working with you in 1956. At that time, I was the head of the Transportation Department of our factory." Fan Youxiang said with a chuckle, "To be honest, I thought I could only work as the head of the Transportation Department until retirement! I never thought that in just 6 years, I would become the director of a large automobile factory. If anyone had told me that I could become the deputy director in 5 years, I would have slapped him in the face to wake him up. This is not just a daydream. Director He, it is the greatest blessing of my life to be able to work with you."

He Yuzhu looked at Fan Youxiang and was quite emotional. Six years ago, they were just low-level cadres in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, one was the deputy director of the logistics department, and the other was the director of the transportation department, but now they have become the director and deputy director of the mill. Time flies, and everything has changed dramatically.
