Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

This order was the first official order for the tractor factory in a long time, so all the employees were working hard to rush the work. When Su Chen returned to the tractor factory, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the employees had successfully completed the manufacturing of the first batch of 300 crawler tractors.

These bulky mechanical beasts roared with their throttles, and thick black smoke continued to spew out of their exhaust pipes. One after another, they were parked in an open space in an orderly manner, and the black smoke billowed up. Although this scene seriously polluted the air, the faces of every tractor factory employee were filled with joy and pride. Their efforts finally paid off.

One worker waved his tools happily, appreciating the joy of this achievement: "Great, we finished the work before the director comes back."

A colleague on the other side wiped the tears of excitement from the corners of his eyes and said: "We finally caught up. Our factory can really survive."

Another enthusiastic employee ran up, grabbed the driving handle of the crawler tractor, quickly jumped to the top of the tractor and shouted loudly: "Good days are coming for the factory!" The surrounding workers were all excited and encouraged.

Everyone worked to the utmost to complete the crawler tractor half a month ahead of schedule! This was almost half a month faster than expected!

The members of the tractor factory tried to prove that they were no less capable than their colleagues in the rolling mill, so much so that they were now jealous, but in their hearts they looked at the 300 tractors on display with great satisfaction. This feeling made them extremely proud. Similarly, at this moment, the eyes of the team leader of the tractor factory were also surrounded by dark circles. He had been working overtime with the workers for two whole days. At present, although he was tired, his mood was very high. He clapped his hands gently to attract everyone's attention. "Everyone go back to the room and rest first. The factory director may not come back for a few days. Everyone must be well rested and prepare to welcome the factory director." Hearing the assistant's announcement, everyone sat down on the ground one after another. Due to the recent days of super-intensive work, many people have already felt seriously exhausted.

There was no external force forcing them to work so hard. The workers at the tractor factory all wanted to live up to expectations and impress Su Chen. So they worked overtime to meet the deadline. The productivity during this period was like a myth. If Su Chen came back and found out, he would be shocked.

Two days later, Su Chen returned from the country of the bear. After a little mental and physical adjustment, he went straight to the tractor factory to inspect the production progress of the batch of crawler tractors. However, as soon as he arrived at the factory, he found 300 crawler tractors that had been assembled and arranged!

The project should have taken more than a week to complete, but this group of workers saved a full half a month. Su Chen was puzzled and surprised and asked the assistant: "When were these cars completed?"

The assistant said proudly: "Director, this batch of crawler tractors were completed and delivered two days ago. Please check and accept them!" His face was full of accomplishment. After resting for two whole days, he was in high spirits.

Su Chen was a little surprised. He walked around the three hundred crawler tractors and carefully checked them one by one, and found that they all met the standards he set.

Su Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone has done a great job to be able to manufacture a crawler tractor in such a short time. Every worker who participates in this project can receive an additional bonus of 5 yuan. Please complete the distribution before the end of the month."

This five yuan is not a huge sum of money for each employee, but the assistant was moved - it was more of a recognition. The assistant was very excited and agreed repeatedly: "I understand, Director."

After all the tractor assembly work was completed, Su Chen said to his assistant: "Please communicate with the Colonel Ka who stayed in China. Now that the tractors have been built, we will start the delivery process."

"And remember to settle the balance." The assistant responded repeatedly.

Then, Su Chen went to the tractor factory office and called the assistant at the steel mill. Assistant Zhang answered the phone and quickly asked, "Director, do you have any instructions?"

Su Chen replied: "The tractor factory has now completed the manufacture of crawler tractors. Please prepare a set of special steel plates and bring some professional technicians to the tractor factory."

When considering how to transport it, air transport was obviously impossible. Land transport would take too long, so he wanted to have a ship transport the crawler tractor and the steel plate together, and send a technician to go with them to provide on-site assembly guidance.

Assistant Professor Zhang asked doubtfully, "Can a crawler tractor be made so quickly?"

In his impression, it was very difficult to complete the production of the tractor even at the last minute, so he was surprised by the rapid progress of the work.

Su Chen continued, "You also need to speed up the steel plate part. After all the production is completed, send technicians over with the ship."

Assistant Zhang asked again: "Director, what kind of technical personnel do you want us to send?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen said, "I will make the arrangements for the follow-up. Please prepare the iron plate as soon as possible."

If workers from the steel plant were to do the job, it might cause improper assembly, so he preferred to have people from his tractor factory do it.

However, the factory workers are not sufficient at present, and the recruitment scale must be expanded as soon as possible in the future. As Su Chen issued instructions, the working atmosphere in the two factories became more efficient: all crawler devices in the tractor factory were loaded and prepared for shipment. On the other hand, when the members of the steel rolling mill learned that the friendly side had completed the work ahead of schedule, they also worked day and night to speed up the production of special steel plates. Soon, all the required steel sheets were processed.

The officials who stayed in the country had been anxiously waiting for the news from the tractor factory. When they learned that the crawler tractors were ready, they were very happy. Their purpose was to complete the mission, and now the mission was about to succeed, everyone was very happy.

Su Chen then contacted a large commercial ship that could hold tens of thousands of tons of cargo, which was more than enough to transport crawler tractors. However, Su Chen did not monopolize the ship, but transported it to that continent together with other domestic products. This was just a transport ship, responsible for arriving there to unload and then returning, and the various items loaded on it would be distributed to different countries on the continent. Sharing the transportation costs was a more economical method.

After dealing with the ship, Su Chen returned to the tractor factory office and waited for the assistant to return. The assistant was also very efficient. Obviously, he had more experience than the younger assistant in the steel rolling mill. Although the tractor factory was small, it had a long history. The assistant in the tractor factory had experienced many things and was naturally more mature and experienced than the younger Assistant Zhang.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" The assistant pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in. He had completed the task as required.

"I have a task for you. Do you know which technicians here are better?" Su Chen asked when assigning the task.

Although the assistant seemed a little confused, he quickly replied: "Because there are not many people in the factory, I basically have a detailed understanding of the family backgrounds of the technical workers."

Su Chen nodded: "I want to select a group of people from here to go to Libya with our crawler tractor. Who do you think are suitable?" Su Chen continued to ask.

The assistant thought for a while and said, "If you are going to a continent so far away, it is best to select skilled workers who have established families and careers. This way, they are unlikely to live there and never return."

Su Chen nodded in agreement: "I agree with this view."

The assistant thought for a while and quickly named a few people. He really knew the situation of these employees very well. The names he mentioned were all stable people who already had families to worry about.

I think these are all good candidates. And if you want to make sure the candidates are safe, you can have the security department review them again.”

It was obvious that the assistant had considered everything. Even though he had thought of this, Su Chen still appreciated his thoughtful service and did not interfere too much. "Just do it this way. You can choose the people you decide to go, and then let the security department conduct a review."

"Understood! Director!" After receiving the task instruction, the assistant immediately went out to implement the matter.

It wasn't long before the technicians he had chosen were selected, and he asked the section chief in charge of security to check the political background of the group of people.

Those who were supposed to become workers would not have any problems with their backgrounds, so these employees all successfully passed the political review of the Security Department.

The assistant quickly arranged for the technicians to go to Libya. After the screening was completed, the assistant immediately notified the technicians of the upcoming overseas missions.

Although these technicians all have families, they accepted the assignment without hesitation when they heard they were going to be sent abroad. Not only were they eager to earn more money, after all, there were more subsidies and rewards for being sent abroad, but more out of gratitude to Su Chen.

Without Suchen, the tractor factory would have been unable to operate normally, so they were very grateful to him. When they saw that he needed help, they naturally did not refuse. Soon after, the technicians had everything ready. After waiting for the steel plates from the rolling mill to be delivered, Suchen organized the staff to load the special steel plates and crawler tractors onto trucks and send them to the port.

The convoy moved forward on the highway.

(Qian Wang Zhao) After several hours of driving, the convoy arrived at the port closest to Sijiu City. Su Chen and other technicians set off in the same car. Of course, he would not follow the team to Libya, but he planned to see the technicians off.

After all, these technicians will be traveling overseas to another continent. Su Chen believes that he must be there in person no matter what.

Trucks were loaded onto the 10,000-ton ship one by one. The port was busy and noisy. The technicians stood beside the trucks, looking at the **, feeling a little nervous. After all, this was their first time to go so far away from home.
