Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Liu Pingan took firm and steady steps, and each step seemed to be an oath to the earth, declaring his unparalleled determination and confidence in the upcoming success. His handsome face was not only marked with the traces of time, but also filled with an indescribable pride and expectation, which was like the rising sun, warm and dazzling, illuminating the road ahead.

He was like a shining star, passing through the hustle and bustle and stepping into the workshop that was bustling with activity at the moment. In the workshop, the roar of machines and the conversations of workers intertwined to form a unique industrial symphony, playing the prelude to production.

As soon as he stepped into this hot land, the deafening roar of the machines surged like a tide, as if to drown people in this torrent of power. However, Liu Ping'an seemed to be accustomed to it, and his eyes revealed a calmness and determination, as if this roar was the most beautiful music in his heart.

At the same time, the flying welding sparks are like the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky, drawing beautiful arcs in the air, illuminating the entire workshop like daytime. These welding sparks are not only a testimony to the workers' skills, but also a symbol of their hard work.

The hard-working workers, standing or squatting, stick to their posts, like screws tightly screwed on the production line. They skillfully operate the huge machines, and their skilled techniques are as smooth as flowing water, which is amazing; they weld parts meticulously, and each weld is the result of their sweat and wisdom; they concentrate on checking the quality of the products, and their serious attitude is as if they are carving a work of art.

From the eyes of these workers, we can clearly see their deep love for their jobs and their almost demanding pursuit of product quality. They are not only working, but also interpreting the true meaning of "craftsmanship" with their lives. This kind of wholehearted devotion and concentration on work makes the whole workshop filled with a positive and energetic atmosphere, as if every screw is contributing its own strength to the normal operation of the production line.

"Section Chief Ping'an, you are finally here!" Suddenly, an enthusiastic shout broke the original noisy sound in the workshop. Following the sound, a worker who was concentrating on debugging equipment spotted Liu Ping'an. He quickly put down the tools in his hands and greeted Liu Ping'an with a smile on his face. His voice was full of respect and expectation, as if Liu Ping'an's arrival had injected new vitality into the entire workshop.

Following this shout, other colleagues around him also stopped their work and turned their respectful eyes to the respected section chief. Their eyes were full of admiration and trust, as if Liu Pingan was a beacon in their hearts, guiding them in the direction of progress.

Facing the greetings from everyone, Liu Pingan always had a kind and amiable smile on his face. He nodded slightly in response, and his warm smile was like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts. Then, he smiled at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, two technicians beside him, and the three of them walked side by side towards the core area of ​​the production line. Their steps were firm and powerful, as if they were announcing to the world: Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is moving towards a more brilliant future!

When he arrived at the destination, Liu Ping'an stood still with steady steps without any delay, and scanned the busy and orderly production site around him with a sharp gaze. Then he asked directly: "What is the current situation? Have you workers encountered any difficult problems?" His voice was clear and powerful, penetrating the noise in the workshop, and every word was filled with deep concern and encouragement for the team.

Yi Zhonghai, a technical expert who has worked in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill for decades, is still tall and straight, but the fine lines on his eyes and forehead tell the traces of time. He slowly took off his slightly old but still neat safety helmet, and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead due to intense work and high temperature in the workshop. His eyes, which have experienced countless technical challenges, are now shining with a thoughtful light.

He paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts, making sure that every word could accurately convey the current production situation. Then, he responded, "As far as the current situation is concerned, the overall production progress is still steadily advancing according to our original plan. The workers are very motivated and the production efficiency is steadily improving, which makes us full of confidence in the success of the project.

However, as you may be concerned, we did encounter some unexpected challenges in the key link of material selection. In order to ensure that the manufactured hand pumps have excellent durability and high operating efficiency, our technical team worked tirelessly to conduct in-depth and detailed experimental research on many different types of metal materials available on the market.

We conducted numerous comparative analyses and comprehensively considered the strength, toughness, corrosion resistance and other dimensions of the material. In this process, we discovered a very special material with particularly outstanding strength indicators, almost exceeding our expectations. This gave us hope of breaking through the bottleneck of materials.

Unfortunately, although this material is incredibly strong, it brings unprecedented processing difficulties. It has high hardness and toughness, and requires extremely high processing equipment and processes, which undoubtedly increases our production costs and time costs. Moreover, due to the scarcity of this material, its market price is also relatively high, which puts a lot of pressure on the cost control of our project. "

Yi Zhonghai's words revealed a hint of helplessness, but more of it was his determination to overcome difficulties and his firm belief in the success of the project. He knew that every challenge was a necessary step to success, and as long as the team worked together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

Liu Haizhong, who had been standing by and listening quietly, was temporarily in charge of the supply chain management of the entire project. He quickly took over the conversation and added, "Yes, just as Master Yi said, we are currently trying our best to find alternative materials with better cost-effectiveness! At the same time, we are also non-stop negotiating with several potential suppliers, hoping to successfully obtain a more favorable and reasonable purchase price. However, achieving these goals is not something that can be achieved overnight. It not only takes a certain amount of time and patience to deal with it, but also urgently requires your full support and close coordination!"

Liu Pingan sat at the conference table, listening attentively to the detailed reports of the two people in front of him. His fingers tapped the table lightly, and as he heard the content, his brows slightly frowned, forming a shallow ravine. However, this worry did not last long, and was soon covered by the renewed confidence in his eyes.

"The material issue is of utmost importance. Its quality cannot tolerate any carelessness or compromise." Liu Ping'an's voice was steady and firm, revealing an unquestionable sense of authority. "In this case, Mr. Yi, I would like to ask you to lead the technical team to conduct a more in-depth investigation. Let's think about whether we can find a solution through innovative means, such as starting with improving the design to reduce dependence on specific materials."

After that, he turned his gaze to Liu Haizhong on the other side and continued, "As for Comrade Liu Haizhong, you need to further increase the intensity of market research and make sure to fully grasp the relevant information. At the same time, I will also actively apply for a special fund from above to fully support this technological change and subsequent material procurement work."

After a short pause, Liu Pingan suddenly changed the subject, and his originally serious face instantly became amiable. His sharp eyes like a hawk slowly swept over every hard-working worker present, and he said earnestly: "Dear workers, you have all worked hard these days! I know that you have been working overtime and tirelessly, and have sacrificed a lot of precious rest time for this. However, please keep in mind that what we are doing now is not just as simple as producing an ordinary product. It represents the reputation and future of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill! As long as this batch of hand-cranked water pumps are successfully rolled off the production line, and can stand out in the fierce market competition and win good reputation and praise, everyone present here will be a well-deserved great contributor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the workshop erupted in thunderous applause and deafening cheers. The applause seemed to break through the roof and resound through the sky; and the cheers were like surging waves, hitting people's eardrums one after another. The workers were so excited that their faces were flushed, and their eyes were shining with excitement. They waved their tools in their hands and released the enthusiasm in their hearts that was inspired by Liu Pingan. At this moment, the whole workshop was immersed in an exciting atmosphere, and morale was like a burning flame, rising higher and higher.

After completing the meticulous inspection of the workshop and professional and precise guidance, Liu Pingan stopped, took a deep breath, and sorted out his chaotic thoughts. He knew that time was tight and he had to race against time to report the latest production progress and various problems encountered to Director Li as soon as possible. Because he understood that as the well-deserved backbone of the factory, maintaining timely and accurate communication would undoubtedly play a pivotal and overall key role in the success of this hand-cranked water pump project.

So, Liu Pingan took firm and powerful steps and quickly passed through the bustling and busy corridors. On both sides of these corridors, workers pushed carts full of raw materials or finished products and hurried by, and some technicians gathered together to discuss a technical problem. However, all this could not distract Liu Pingan's attention. He was focused on getting to Director Li's office as soon as possible.

Finally, after some twists and turns, Liu Pingan arrived at the door of Director Li's office. He raised his hand and knocked gently. The knock was particularly clear in the quiet corridor. Soon, a low and steady response came from the room: "Come in!" After getting permission, Liu Pingan carefully pushed open the door and walked in. In the spacious and bright office, Director Li was leaning over the desk, concentrating on the pile of documents in front of him. His brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep "川" character. It was obvious that he was worried and racking his brains for the complicated affairs of the factory.

"Hello, Director Li! I am Liu Ping'an, and I have come here specially to report to you the latest developments of our hand-cranked water pump project." Liu Ping'an bowed slightly, his tone showing due respect for his superiors, yet still retaining the decisiveness and shrewdness that are unique to a doer.

Director Li slowly raised his head, and his eyes happened to fall on the person standing at the door. When he saw clearly that the person was Liu Ping'an, his originally serious face instantly broke into a friendly smile: "Oh, it's Ping'an! Come on, come in and sit down and rest your feet." Then he greeted Liu Ping'an warmly.

Liu Pingan walked into the office with a smile on his face and sat down steadily on the chair opposite to Director Li. Before he sat down, Director Li couldn't wait to ask, "How is the project going now? I've been thinking about it all the time!"

Liu Pingan took a deep breath and then began to report to Director Li in detail in an orderly manner. He did not miss any aspect, from production progress to technological innovation to material procurement. Especially when talking about the huge challenges faced in the key link of material selection, Liu Pingan analyzed the difficulties and key points clearly, and emphasized a series of highly targeted response strategies jointly formulated by him and his team.

Director Li listened to Liu Ping'an's report attentively, nodding from time to time to show that he had understood the relevant content. Whenever he heard some important details or something he didn't quite understand, he would interject a few words at the right time and ask for further details. Director Li was generous in praising Liu Ping'an's excellent decision-making ability and the team's strong execution ability.

"Ping'an, you did a great job this time! Faced with so many difficult problems, you not only found practical solutions quickly, but also fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the entire team. This spirit of facing challenges head-on and taking on responsibilities is exactly what our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill needs most!" Director Li said with satisfaction as he patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder.

When the report was successfully completed, the tense atmosphere in the conference room relaxed instantly. At this moment, Director Li, who had been sitting upright and listening carefully to the report, suddenly changed the subject and looked at Liu Pingan who was sitting not far away with a gentle look, and said with a smile: "Pingan, are you free tonight? If it is convenient, why not come to my house for a simple meal? We haven't had a good chat together for a long time!"

Liu Pingan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and suddenly felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. You know, the relationship between him and Director Li is not just a simple superior-subordinate relationship. The two of them have known each other for a long time and can be said to be close friends for many years. In the past years, whether it was work or life, the two supported each other and spent every moment together. This deep friendship and tacit understanding made Liu Pingan full of respect and gratitude for Director Li.

So Liu Pingan nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Director Li! Since you are so enthusiastic about inviting me, I will obey your order and will not be polite to you anymore! Speaking of which, I have encountered some confusion in my work recently, and I was thinking of finding an opportunity to ask you for advice and listen to your valuable advice and careful guidance!"
