Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After he calmed down again, he devoted himself to the work of the institute again.

On March 10, the automobile production line plan carefully prepared and submitted by the Institute successfully passed the strict review and inspection process of the Ministry of Machinery.

Then, with the steady and large-scale advancement and implementation of the country's First Five-Year Plan, the business volume of the entire engineering machinery factory soared like a rocket, and orders showed an explosive growth trend.

Faced with increasingly heavy production tasks, Zhou Tian, ​​after careful consideration, had to arrange for the engineering machinery factory to implement a two-shift work system.

In order to compensate the workers for their extra hard work, Zhou Tian and the higher authorities conducted repeated research and discussions, and finally decided to increase the overtime pay of ten yuan per month for each worker who worked overtime, in order to motivate their work enthusiasm and passion.

In April, the home appliances produced by the home appliance factory under the institute set off a strong wave in the international market with their novel and unique appearance design and outstanding performance, just like a shining star that instantly ignited the entire market.

Orders came back to China through Hong Kong Island like snowflakes, and the total number of orders received by the home appliance factory was as high as three million units.

Faced with the sudden and huge pressure of orders, Zhou Tian and several vice presidents held an emergency meeting to conduct in-depth research and discussion. They then decisively decided to let the workers of the home appliance factory follow the example of the engineering machinery factory and adopt a two-shift work mode to ensure that the order delivery tasks can be completed on time.

As the number of orders for the two branches continued to surge like a surging tide, the work pace of Zhang Mingzhi and Song Weiguo suddenly accelerated, and they were as busy as a spinning top.

Even though Zhou Tian temporarily put aside his plan to research a new project and devoted all his efforts to assisting in handling various affairs within the institute, the daily management work and production coordination matters of the institute alone were enough to keep him busy and overwhelmed.

During this period, Zhou Tian applied to the higher authorities many times to deploy more professional talents to strengthen the institute's strength. Unfortunately, these applications did not receive positive responses and effective support from the higher authorities.

A series of important projects related to people's livelihood and education, such as family buildings, high-power power plants, red education classes, Red Star Primary School and Red Star Middle School, are being carried out in an orderly manner under the careful coordination and reasonable planning of Zhou Tian, ​​Zhang Mingzhi and Song Weiguo.

By the end of April, the Yuhong Class, Hongxing Primary School and Hongxing Middle School were first built around the workers' community and were successfully completed and put into use.

Then, on May 1st, a day of special significance, the high-power power plant was successfully completed and officially put into operation.

After more than three months of intensive construction, the infrastructure around the workers' community has become increasingly complete and the supporting facilities have gradually become more complete.

With the strong assistance and active cooperation of the Fengtai District Government, the originally uninhabited and barren Wanping suburb has undergone tremendous changes and has rapidly emerged as a new small town that is no less prosperous than an ordinary county town.

Its permanent population also increased dramatically from the initial 130,000 to as many as 200,000.

Among them, the number of workers in the four branches alone reached 73,500. If the workers' families were included, the total number would be as high as 150,000.

Adding in all kinds of auxiliary personnel derived from the daily consumption needs of the branch factory workers, the actual population is far more than 200,000. However, due to factors such as the high mobility of some personnel, statistics show that the population is only 200,000.

As the population in the suburbs of Wanping has been growing rapidly, the demand for housing has also been expanding rapidly, resulting in the phenomenon of indiscriminate housing construction becoming increasingly serious and disorderly.

Under such circumstances, the Fengtai District Government and the Research Institute, after several in-depth discussions and discussions, decided to submit an application for the expansion and renovation of the staff building to the higher authorities again.

On May 10, the Red Star Automobile Factory was grandly completed and a grand and warm completion ceremony was held.

On the wide cement road leading to the suburbs of Wanping, a jeep was in front, followed closely by two black sedans, speeding along at lightning speed.

In the car, Zhou Tian and Xie Yuanchang sat side by side. From time to time, they looked out of the window, admiring the scenery along the way while talking in low voices.

"Xiaotian, it seems that the decision to build the branch in Wanping was undoubtedly the right one. I never thought that in less than a year, the changes here would be so huge that I couldn't even believe my eyes. I almost couldn't recognize this familiar place!"

While Xie Yuanchang truly felt the comfort brought by the jeep's smooth driving on the flat road, he looked around at the weeping willows swaying in the wind on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but express his heartfelt emotions.

He still clearly remembers that when he traveled between Wanping and Sijiucheng in the past, the thing that gave him the most headache and fear was taking the car.

At that time, the road was bumpy and the vehicle was extremely bumpy when driving. Every time I took the bus, I felt as if I was about to fly. I still remember the uncomfortable feeling. However, at this moment, the journey was smooth and he did not feel any discomfort at all.

"Minister, this is just the beginning. If you wait until you get to the factory and take a closer look, I'm afraid you will be even more shocked!"

Zhou Tian responded with a smile and didn't care.

Although they have not yet arrived at the factory, what they saw and heard on the road have already caused Xie Yuanchang to be so impressed and moved. If they arrived at the vicinity of the factory, the scene there would surely be even more spectacular and shocking. Wouldn't Minister Xie be stunned?

"Okay, then I'll be waiting. Xiaotian, you have to tell me honestly, has this car been carefully modified by you?"

Xie Yuanchang couldn't help but laugh, then looked at Zhou Tian and asked.

If Xie Yuanchang had not noticed the abnormality of the jeep he was riding in at the beginning, then after driving for such a long time, if he still could not keenly perceive the changes in the car that were different from the past, then his perception ability would be too poor.

After all, he was very clear about the original performance characteristics of the jeep. Now, after sitting in the car for such a long time, he not only did not feel tired at all, but the sealing performance of the car was also greatly improved.

In the past, when the vehicle was driving a little faster, the sound of the wind inside the car would drown out the sound of the jeep's engine, making it extremely noisy.

But now, he could only hear a slight buzzing sound. If he couldn't detect it and react, then his reaction speed would be too slow.

This jeep looks no different from other jeeps in appearance, but there is something else inside. If this guy hadn't modified it, he wouldn't believe it at all.

"Minister, can you just tell me how this car has been modified?"

Zhou Tian did not directly answer Xie Yuanchang's question, but cleverly threw the question back.

Although he did not give a clear affirmative answer, the meaning of his words was obvious, and the answer was obviously self-evident.

"It's a pretty good improvement. In my opinion, it's even more comfortable than the new sedan your institute has made!"
