Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Yeah, it's not too late to start now!"

Zhou Tian forced a smile and took a deep breath.

"Okay, cheer up, let's work together! I believe we will conquer the lithography machine sooner or later!"

Professor Meng patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Yeah! I believe it too!"

Zhou Tian put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, nodded in response, and a dazzling gleam appeared in his eyes.

Since the lithography machine project failed, he could only start the transistor project.

If you want to launch transistors, then you naturally need to research semiconductors, diodes, and triodes.

The principle of the diode is very simple, and the same is true for the transistor. It is not particularly difficult for Zhou Tian. The only difficulty is the material purification technology.

Whether it is diodes or triodes, he will not study vacuum tubes, but the current mainstream semiconductor diodes and triodes, which requires extremely strict refining technology, including PN junction technology, semiconductor surface treatment, and connecting metal pins.

It sounds difficult, but it is not particularly difficult to develop it.

For Zhou Tian, ​​as long as it is something he can touch, a specific forming process can be formed in the virtual space of his mind. The only difficulty is the problem of basic industry. As long as the industry can keep up, he can even get it done in one step.

After having the idea, Zhou Tian devoted himself to the design of semiconductor diodes and transistors.

With countless brilliant ideas and a large amount of knowledge, he soon came up with the design drawings of semiconductor diodes and transistors.

With the design drawings, all that was left was to follow the procedures. Zhou Tian handed all the design drawings to the laboratory, and then he returned to the machinery factory.

After all, with his design drawings, he didn't believe that the teachers' knowledge would be incapable of handling it. Moreover, semiconductor diodes and triodes were not considered high-tech in 1952.

That day, Zhou Tian just sat down in the office to start working, and Liu Yuan pushed open the door. When he saw his boss, Liu Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Well, I haven't been in the factory recently. Is there anything happening in the factory?"

When Zhou Tian saw Liu Yuan, a sense of familiarity flashed through his heart.

"Director, nothing major has happened, but the workers don't seem to be enthusiastic about the literacy night school!"

Liu Yuan reported the factory's affairs to Zhou Tian.

"Not keen?" Zhou Tian was slightly stunned. "Why? Don't the workers want to be promoted?"

In order to stimulate the workers' enthusiasm for learning, he had said that it would be a priority if they wanted to be promoted in the future. However, he did not expect that even so, the workers' enthusiasm for learning was not aroused.

"Director, in fact, for most workers, as long as they have a stable job, they don't have any other aspirations, so..."

Having said that, Liu Yuan wisely chose to shut up.

"Is that really the case?" Although Liu Yuan didn't finish his words, Zhou Tian already understood what he wanted to say.

After thinking for a while, he said thoughtfully: "It seems that the stimulation is not enough!"

What workers seek when they go to work is simply to secure their livelihood. Now, as long as they work in a state-owned factory, they will basically have housing. The state will allocate housing for them, their children will go to public schools, and they will have medical care if they are sick.

Compared with the three major problems in the past - housing, medical care and retirement, workers in this era can be said to be extremely happy. If you want to stimulate them to make progress, then the only thing is salary.

"Xiao Liu, go and notify the five deputy factory directors and the union chairman to hold a meeting!"

After having an idea, Zhou Tian gave instructions to Liu Yuan.

"Okay, Director!" Liu Yuan said, turned around and left the office.

Elder Tang had specifically told him about literacy education, and he was a person who either didn't do it or did it to the best of his ability. Now that he had started it, he couldn't let people laugh at him.

After a while, Liu Yuan came back, and Zhou Tian stood up and took him into the meeting room.

After sitting down, Zhou Tiancai said, "I think Xiao Liu should have told you the reason why I called you all to the meeting today, right?"

Upon hearing this, the five deputy factory directors and the union chairman nodded in unison.

"Literacy education is a key focus of our country this year, in order to stimulate the learning enthusiasm of the majority of workers and thus achieve common progress with the factory.

As a semi-military enterprise, our machinery factory has always had high requirements for our workers. However, our workers are not enthusiastic enough about literacy education, which is contrary to our original expectations.

I would like to ask everyone, how can we increase the enthusiasm of workers for literacy education, rather than making them learn passively! ”

As he spoke, Zhou Tian glanced at the six people.

"Director, to be honest, we have no other choice. We have already offered priority promotion to cadres to entice the workers to learn, but the effect is still not satisfactory!"

Deputy Director Wu saw the director looking at him and immediately spoke.

"Yes! Director, this matter is indeed a bit tricky!"

Deputy Director Li and Deputy Director Zhao also said at the same time.

Nowadays, workers basically have everything they need. If they want to motivate them to learn, they have to improve their levels. However, it is difficult for them to promote it forcefully when the country has not yet officially implemented the eight-level worker system nationwide.

The most important thing is that they are a semi-military enterprise, which is not a good start.

"Weiguo, what do you think?"

After listening to the words of the three deputy factory directors, Zhou Tian turned his gaze to Song Weiguo.

"Director, to put it bluntly, it all depends on what the workers need. The Labor Insurance Regulations promulgated by the state last year already cover most of the workers' needs. So if we want to solve this problem, we can only start with wages, but the problem is wages..."

Having said that, Song Weiguo couldn't continue. After all, the topic would become a bit sensitive if he continued.

"What do you think, President Cao?"

Zhou Tian understood Song Weiguo's idea very well, which was basically the same as his. He nodded and turned his gaze to Cao Guosheng, the chairman of the trade union.

"Director, Deputy Director Song's words just now actually pointed out a solution for us, but this involves all employees, so I really can't say anything!"

When Cao Guosheng heard the factory director's question, he politely refused.

To put it bluntly, Cao Guosheng doesn't want to be the first to take action.

After listening to the opinions of several deputy factory directors and Cao Guosheng's ideas, Zhou Tian also understood their plans.

Everyone knows the solution to the problem, but the problem is that no one is willing to take the lead.

Especially when the country has not yet completely clarified the eight-level worker system, if their machinery factory takes the lead in doing this, if it is done well, then everything will be fine and it will be considered a credit to them. But if it is not done well, then it will become a stumbling block to their future promotion.

"What a bunch of sly people!"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but curse in his heart, but no matter how much he cursed, the problem still had to be solved.

"Okay, since no one is willing to step forward, I will apply to the higher-ups for this matter! Next, let's discuss the factory's next arrangements!"

The entire meeting lasted until the afternoon, and the lunch was sent back by Liu Yuan.

After the meeting, Zhou Tian called Mr. Tang to report.

"Xiaotian, are you saying that if we want to improve the enthusiasm of workers, we need to promote the eight-level worker system?"

After receiving Zhou Tian’s report, Mr. Tang quickly took it seriously.

In fact, during this period of promoting literacy education, he gradually discovered this problem.

Many factory managers have complained that workers are not very motivated, but they have not proposed a solution. Although Mr. Tang is a little anxious, he also knows that education will not produce results overnight.

But now Zhou Tian's words did make him have new considerations.
