Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

In less than two minutes, Deputy Director Dong and four others came in from outside, chatting and laughing.

"Director!"

When they saw Zhou Tian, ​​the five of them immediately looked serious and greeted him respectfully.

"Everyone is here, sit down!"

Zhou Tian looked at the five deputy factory directors who had all arrived and motioned for them to sit down on the sofa. Then he stood up and moved a chair to the sofa.

Liu Yuan was also very tactful. He poured a cup of tea for each of the six people and then retreated.

Seeing Liu Yuan close the door, Zhou Tian said, "Last year, our factory made a lot of profit. Both the workers and the cadres played a lot of roles. But everyone should know that this year our factory will have a heavier task!"

In response to Zhou Tian's words, the five of them nodded solemnly. Although the tasks in the factory were heavy last year, it was not that busy after all. But this year is different.

With the operation of the oxygen top-blown converter, the projects of the electronics workshop and the engine have gradually been launched. It can be said that the tasks of the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory this year are indeed busier than last year, which is beyond doubt.

“And this year, I plan to focus on mining machinery!”

"Mining machinery?"

As Zhou Tian said this, the five people suddenly showed some confusion and hesitation on their faces.

"Director, isn't this a bit hasty?"

Song Weiguo first asked worriedly, what is mining machinery? They naturally knew it, but the question was, does the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory still have the ability to produce mining machinery?

You know, with the production of steel furnaces, machine tools, electronics and agricultural machinery, the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory can foresee that it will be even busier this year. If mining machinery is also put into production, then this year will be extremely busy.

As for whether mining machinery can be developed, they have no doubt at all. After all, anyone who has such a monstrous factory director will gradually become numb.

Looking at the doubt and hesitation in the eyes of the five people, Zhou Tian naturally knew what they were thinking.

In fact, not to mention them, even Zhou Tian himself knew that the capacity of the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory was already overloaded. But he also knew that if the gap in raw materials could not be solved, the development of the machinery factory would probably stagnate in the next few years.

This is not alarmist talk, but a fact. Although the amount of iron ore mined has increased year by year, facing the situation of too many wolves and too little meat, even if he has more ideas, it will be of no avail.

The only solution is to find a solution from the source.

We can only increase the mining volume of iron ore raw materials, but if we want to solve this problem, mining machinery is indispensable. Now that the country has just been established, although there are many iron mines throughout the country, most of the current mining still uses manual mining.

Even if the number of people is increased, it is still a world of difference compared to mining using machines.

Therefore, this is why Zhou Tian set his sights on mining machinery.

"I know what you are thinking. Perhaps you think that since our factory has no shortage of orders from above, and the production of electronics, hydrogen top-blown converters, machine tools, and agricultural machinery is already sufficient, wouldn't it be a bit overloaded to start mining machinery, or even exceed our factory's production capacity?"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he looked at the five people who nodded slowly and shook his head slightly in his heart.

"But have you ever thought about a question?"

As he spoke, he stared at the five people and said word by word: "That is whether the raw material iron ore can keep up with our development speed!"

"this!"

After Zhou Tian said this, the five people suddenly fell silent. In fact, they had heard about the shortage of iron ore, but they had never taken it to heart.

After all, the abundance or lack of iron ore has nothing to do with them. Even Song Weiguo, who followed Zhou Tian the earliest, did not think that the lack of iron ore would cause any problem to the machinery factory.

At most, if there is enough iron ore, they can produce more agricultural machinery and machine tools. If there is not enough, they can produce less. After all, the control of iron ore is in the hands of the state, and if they want to produce, they only need to report to the state.

But now after hearing what the factory director said, they realized that they had been thinking too simply. If they continued to develop in the way the factory director said, the mining of iron ore might not be able to keep up with the development speed of the machinery factory.

For a moment, all six people stopped talking and started to think again.

"Director, I agree with the research on mining machinery!"

After a long time, Song Weiguo was the first to break the silence and raised his head.

Although he didn't want the director to focus his research on mining machinery, now that the director has pointed out the seriousness of the matter, he naturally would not object.

With Song Weiguo being the first to agree, the two deputy factory directors in the army could only look at each other and nodded in agreement.

As for Deputy Director Liu and Deputy Director Li, when they saw that the three agreed, they also nodded.

"Okay! Since everyone agrees, I will set up a mining machinery research team, and the factory affairs will be handed over to you!"

Hearing that all five people agreed, Zhou Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he could make the decision on this matter, he knew very well that respecting others is respecting oneself.

It's not that he can be arbitrary and dictatorial, but in the end, he may become a dictator in the workplace, which is very disadvantageous for him, especially when the wind blows, it will be a big trouble.

After the discussion, Zhou Tian and the five others got busy.

Since today is everyone's first day at work, Zhou Tian did not arrange for the workers to carry out production tasks on this day. Instead, he asked everyone to notify the workers to clear the snow in the factory first.

As Zhou Tian's order was given, soon, the workers in the entire factory began to work enthusiastically. Although the factory was not small in size, it was cleaned up with the concerted efforts of nearly 5,000 people.

In just one morning, the entire machinery factory became tidy again.

After lunch, the entire factory resumed production and operation, and Zhou Tian began to think about the research and development and production of mining machinery in the office.

Although he had explained the importance of researching mining machinery to the five deputy factory directors in the morning, he also knew that the production capacity of the entire Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory was actually beginning to be insufficient.

Especially with the production of transistors, machine tools, agricultural machinery and household appliances, it can be said that the production capacity of the machinery factory is simply not enough to carry out all his plans.

“Maybe it’s time to start thinking about opening a branch factory!”

Zhou Tian sat on the chair, rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and said to himself.

Originally, he had considered opening a branch factory, but he always felt that it might take a year or two to open a branch factory. However, who would have thought that the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory would develop so fast and involve so many projects.

If the mix continues like this, I'm afraid it will not be good for the machinery factory!
