Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

The brand of the new speed-shifting bicycle had been decided long ago, and it was called "Red Star Speed-shifting Bicycle" after the name of the steel rolling mill.

In the initial stage of production, He Lin did not plan to differentiate the products. He would produce one type of speed bicycle regardless of male or female models, and named it the "Red Star A6" speed bicycle.

The unified external publicity is that this is the sixth vehicle finalized within the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. 'A' stands for the best, which means it is the sixth best vehicle model of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

This vehicle is somewhat similar to the station wagon of later generations, but it has many improvements.

The handlebars are straight with a slight curve, and the seat is larger, which conforms to the aesthetic and usage needs of modern people.

The rear seat is wider and thicker, making it more convenient for carrying people and cargo.

Compared with ordinary bicycles, the most important thing is that it is equipped with speed gears, which can provide twelve gears of "front three and rear four".

What He Lin wants is not outstanding performance. For people today, speed bicycles solve the problem of having or not having. The key is to make the vehicle functions stable and not have quality problems.

The speed-change bicycle production line is actually an assembly plant. Ordinary parts are produced and provided by other workshops in the factory as required. The most critical speed-change gears are produced in a separate gear workshop.

Before receiving approval from the ministry, He Lin asked Zhang Wenshan to select skilled workers with reliable character and quality from the assembly line to form this workshop. He taught them and practiced the production of speed change wheels. It was only by relying on the improvement of their proficiency that they were able to produce gears within this error range.

The gear production workshop is He Lin's core support.

Moreover, the workers in this workshop have the best welfare benefits. In a nutshell, as long as you work hard, the factory will take care of your food, clothing and other expenses.

Overall, He Lin has made targeted improvements to the pain points that people currently experience when using bicycles. What he wants is to become an overnight sensation and shock everyone.

The production of speed bicycles is the basic aspect, and sales is another important aspect.

Although we now have a planned economy and purchase these large items according to receipts, in the early stages we still need someone to promote the speed bicycles and get buyers to accept the new things as quickly as possible before they can be promoted nationwide.

Of course, the initial production volume cannot keep up, so He Lin plans to promote it at least within the city of Beijing, and then as the production volume increases, he will gradually expand to the whole country.

He Lin's recruitment of Yan Jiecheng was not a whim, but was part of the plan. The key link in this was his cheap brother Xu Damao.

During lunch, He Lin told Yu Haitang to ask Xu Damao to come to his office when he came to work in the afternoon, as he had something important to tell him.

Xu Damao could refuse any other matters, but he was the most proactive in looking for his brother Lin. He rushed in in a hurry as soon as the working hours arrived.

"Director He, what's the matter that makes you always have time to look for me? You even sent a full-time secretary to notify me."

"Stop talking nonsense, what little secretary? You can't talk nonsense in the factory. She's my sister, my sister, do you understand?"

Xu Damao nodded quickly and said that his brother Lin had many things but many sisters, all of them were beautiful. Unfortunately, he only thought about it in his mind and did not dare to say it out loud for fear of being beaten.

"Brother Lin, what's going on?"

He Lin hesitated for a moment, then said in a sophisticated manner: "Do you want to be rich? Do you want to make money? Come and work with Brother Lin, and I guarantee that you will be successful and have a successful career."

Xu Damao looked confused. Is the factory going to promote me?

"That Chief Wei from the Propaganda Department hasn't retired yet and is in good health. The other deputy chiefs..."

"What are you thinking about? Can't you have a longer-term vision and stop focusing on the propaganda department?"

He Lin then told Xu Damao about his plan to set up a sales department. Xu Damao was so excited and passionate that he wanted to go to the streets and post big-character posters to promote speed bicycles.

The key point is that what Brother Lin said is right. Although there is no level sales room now, with the expansion of sales of speed bicycles, it will be a sales department or sales office in the future.

Moreover, Xu Damao originally came from the Propaganda Department, which made him just right for this job. He would be a veteran in the sales department in the future. He also wanted people to call him "Section Chief Xu" in his lifetime.

"Brother Lin, I've decided. I'll follow you in sales."

"You are wrong. You are not following me in sales. You are leading others in sales. I have so much to do every day that I don't have time to help you."

"Oh, there's a team right at the beginning? How many people do we have in the sales office now?"

"The first person I'll assign to you is Yan Jiecheng. Although I haven't told him the details yet, he has already agreed to come to the steel mill. You can talk to him as the head of the sales office and tell him the specific job content."

Xu Damao nodded in agreement. Not only was it easier to get things done with someone above him, but it also felt really good to have someone below him.

Just a few words and he has a younger brother. Then, when they are in Siheyuan, Yan Jiecheng will have to follow his lead. It makes me feel good just thinking about it.

After sending Xu Damao back to do the recruitment work, He Lin went around the workshop again.

It's just the last step, and we can't make any mistakes.

Zhang Wenshan now has great trust in He Lin. It has only been more than a month since the first modification of the bicycle, and the progress has been pushed to this level. No one else except He Lin has the courage to do this.

"Director He, I really admire you. Look, this bicycle workshop was organized so quickly. The new employees who were recruited are also receiving training step by step. Once everything is ready, it will be put into production soon."

"Mr. Zhang, you've worked hard during this period. When the speed-changing bicycle goes into production, I'll treat you to a drink and a feast."

"Why is it so hard? After all, we are working in a factory. How can it be harder than being a coolie in the old society? Besides, I have been a technician all my life. I will produce according to the factory's requirements. I have never thought about what I want to produce. This time, I have learned a lot. It is not in vain."

After listening to Zhang Wenshan's words, He Lin deeply realized that most people in this era are still simple, kind, down-to-earth and hard-working. What matters is to take one step at a time and start from the grassroots level.

In a word, everyone in the new society is a good comrade.

In addition to normal work, He Lin also instructed about the various welfare benefits of some workshops, especially for the old masters in the gear workshop. They must not be treated unfairly. As long as the demands are not excessive, they can be made, and he will definitely negotiate with the factory for them.

After arranging the work in the workshop, He Lin turned and went to see Director Yang.

There is another important task that needs to be done in advance.
