young friends come to meet

Ye Kai's classmate was Hou Bo. When he and Yin Congnan found the gate of the heavy machinery factory, Hou Bo was already waiting for them there.

The old classmates bumped into each other when they saw each other, saying that they hadn't seen each other for almost a year.

Ye Kai introduced Yin Congnan and Hou Bo to each other. When he heard that Yin Congnan was a talented student who had returned from studying abroad, Hou Bo couldn't help praising him, "Ye Kai, your light machine factory is really good, and you can invite foreign students!"

"We didn't invite him. Yin Congnan is a researcher at the Institute of Mechanical Science. He volunteered to work on the front line of our factory. Now he is seconded to our factory."

Hou Bo enthusiastically shook Yin Congnan's hand, "It's really admirable that you can take the initiative to come to the front line!"

Yin Congnan shook his head, "It's admirable that you are always on the front line."

Hou Bo smiled, looked carefully at Yin Congnan, and sighed, "I've never seen an overseas student before! So that's what he looks like."

Ye Kai frowned when he heard this, "Is there anything else for an international student?"

Hope said with gestures, "I thought they must be, with that kind of hair, wearing suits and leather shoes, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses."

Yin Congnan smiled embarrassedly and said, "In this case, I only wear glasses and look like an overseas student."

Hou Bo also laughed when he heard this, "You're quite humorous. You don't have any airs at all, that's great."

It seems that everyone still misunderstands the foreign students, thinking that they are such a different group of people, but Yin Congnan feels that he is just the most ordinary person.He did not satisfy everyone's imagination of international students. He didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful.

"You have watched too many movies. They are all fake foreign students, and they are all acting. Yin Congnan is a real foreign student. In the future, he will be the standard for the appearance of foreign students." Ye Kai made Yin Congnan bear with his words. I couldn't help laughing out.

Hou Bo is also a talkative person, "Okay, Comrade Yin Congnan will prevail."

The three walked into the heavy machinery factory talking and laughing.

"Are you on duty today?" Ye Kai asked.

"I'm not on duty, but I'm the deputy director of the workshop now, so I should come over occasionally."

Ye Kai didn't even know that Hou Bo had been promoted to the deputy director of the workshop after not seeing him for more than a year, "It's ok, Houer, I should treat you after being promoted."

"I'm treating guests at noon, we want four dishes and one soup!"

"Then I'll have to kill you."

While talking, they had gone deep into the factory and walked through one workshop after another.Hou Bo said, "Let's go to the riveting and welding workshop. There are no other workshops, so I can't get in either."

"it is good."

The three came to the door of the riveting and welding workshop, where there were still several workers working overtime.

Ye Kai and Yin Congnan glanced at each other. Even when they were rushing to work on aid projects in Africa, they didn't work overtime on weekends.

"Are you so busy?"

Hou Bo greeted the overtime workers, then led them inside, and whispered, "It's a long story, let's go to the office."

The workshop director's office was in a corner of the workshop, and Hope took them in. There were small tea tables, small teapots, and a few small stools inside, making it quite interesting.

"The layout here is pretty good, much better than our workshop. Our workshop director's office is like a slum."

The three of them sat down, Hou Bo picked up the thermos and shook it, then opened it and looked, "I made boiled water yesterday before I got off work, and I can still drink it."

Poured two glasses of water for the guests and started talking.

Yin Congnan said, "Comrade Hou Bo, I'm really sorry to bother you. I came to bother you on weekends."

Hou Bo said, "What's the matter, Ye Kai's business is my business. Besides, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we just met. If you have anything to say, just talk about it."

Yin Congnan likes Hou Bo's pleasure, he is indeed a good friend with Ye Kai.

That being the case, he didn't need to say anything on the scene. "That's right. I'm currently giving advice to the leaders of the Light Machinery Factory, and I want to buy imported equipment for the factory. But the factory leaders don't agree very much. I know from the research institute that the Heavy Machinery Factory seems to be considering the introduction of new equipment recently, so I want to Ask someone who knows the situation, what is the attitude of the heavy machinery factory towards the new equipment?"

"This." Hou Bo sighed after hearing Yin Congnan's words.

Ye Kai was curious and asked him, "What's the matter, Deputy Director Hou, what problems did you encounter?"

Hou Bo shook his head helplessly, "I bought new equipment a long time ago, and it was imported."

"Buy it?" Ye Kai and Yin Congnan asked together.

"Yes. It's just outside." Hou Bo pointed to the outside of the office with his thumb.

Yin Congnan and Ye Kai stretched their heads and looked out, but they couldn't see it from here.Yin Congnan asked, "Is it in production?"

"No."

"why?"

"No one can play around." Hou Bo spread his hands.

"How come..." Yin Congnan and Ye Kai looked at each other.

"I would also like to know how this happened."

Yin Congnan asked, "Can you take us to see it?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Let's go." Hou Bo got up and led the two into the workshop.Bypassing several workers who were working, they came to the two machines.

"It's these two. I tried it the day after it was installed, and a big shaft was scrapped by welding."

Yin Congnan approached the machine and looked at the nameplate on the fuselage, "Didn't anyone from the manufacturer follow you during the installation?"

Hou Bo shook his head, "An interpreter came with the translated installation instructions, and several engineers instructed everyone to install it together. If the big shaft is welded, no one dares to move it. Now we put it in our The workshop is both in the way and useless."

Yin Congnan frowned.Spend a lot of money to buy advanced equipment, but there is no way to put it into use.This is really the worst situation, and unfortunately the heavy machinery factory caught up.

"Isn't this a lump of scrap iron?" Ye Kai said.

"Isn't it? I thought this machine could improve production efficiency. I have taken on a lot of jobs recently. Now I have no choice but to work overtime."

Ye Kai sighed, "It would be great if your leader's courage was equal to our leader's."

"What kind of boldness, I think it is a reckless person. Now they are also worried about the lawsuit."

Yin Congnan took out the materials brought back by the research institute from his bag, and said, "A deputy director of the heavy machinery factory went to the research institute to get these materials." He handed the materials to Hou Bo.

Hou Bo flipped through it and said, "Eh? This, and this, are all similar to this device."

Yin Congnan nodded, "Well, the leaders of your factory must be actively thinking of ways to put these two imported machines into use. I just looked at the nameplates, and these two machines are actually very suitable for the production needs of the heavy machinery factory. It is inevitable to use it to improve efficiency. The factory leader of the heavy machinery factory did not make a wrong decision.”

Both Hou Bo and Ye Kai listened carefully to Yin Congnan's words.

"The only mistake is that no one from the manufacturer was invited to give on-site guidance, and no one trained the workers, resulting in the current situation where there are machines but no one knows how to use them."

"Who says it's not. How much loss has been caused by this mistake."

Hou Bo only cared about feeling uncomfortable for the current situation, but Ye Kai approached Yin Congnan quietly and asked, "Is there a way?"

The two looked at each other, and Yin Congnan said again, "I don't know why your deputy factory director went to the research institute once, but didn't explain the situation. If you tell the institute about your difficulties, I think our institute will fully support you. and help you deal with your problems."

"really?"

"Of course. As long as there are relevant manuals for the machines, the institute will send researchers to visit the site and contact the manufacturers if necessary. Putting these two machines into use is not a problem at all."

"That's great!" Hou Bo showed a smile, but in a blink of an eye he turned embarrassed again, "Hi!" He seemed very discouraged, "I know what the method is good for, and the factory leaders don't listen to me."

Yin Congnan understood his difficulties. The deputy director of the workshop is not even a middle-level leader, so it can be said that he is soft-spoken.

So he put forward his own idea, "What if I push it from the institute?"

Hou Bo didn't quite understand.Ye Kai also kept looking at him.

Yin Congnan said, "I can ask the research institute to take the initiative to contact the heavy machinery factory. Maybe the factory leader is willing to confide the difficulties to the research institute after a few exchanges. It is only natural for the research institute to help."

Hou Bo slapped his forehead and said, "That's right. Leaders just want to save face. It's not easy to get them to go to the research institute for help, but if the research institute comes to ask, it's not necessarily so. That's the problem."

Ye Kai also laughed, "It's a good idea!" He patted Hou Bo's shoulder, "How is it? It's the right time for us to come today."

"That's right! If we can turn these two iron lumps into treasures, then our riveting and welding workshop will liberate the labor force!" Hou Bo was very happy, and put his arms around Ye Kai's shoulders, "Go, today we have Please have a good meal."

The three of them ordered four dishes and one soup in a small restaurant near the heavy machinery factory, and they spent a total of eight yuan.Hou Bo rushed to pay the money. Yin Congnan was very embarrassed, but Ye Kai was calm. He said, "This is the first meal. When the problem is really solved, we will have to kill him."

"Zai Zai Zai, kill whatever you want!"

The three of them laughed and said goodbye at the entrance of the small restaurant.

On the way back, Yin Congnan talked less, Ye Kai knew that he was thinking about the heavy machinery factory just now.

"Did you get hit?"

"Huh?" Yin Congnan hasn't fully recovered yet.

Ye Kai smiled, "Seeing the situation of the heavy machinery factory, do you have no confidence in the introduction of imported equipment?"

It turned out to be this problem, Yin Congnan shook his head with a smile, "No. It's not a problem that can't be solved, and I won't lose confidence because of this."

"Then what are you thinking about?"

Yin Congnan raised his head and looked out through the glass window of the bus. He said, "The matter of the heavy machinery factory just reminded me. Only the machine is not enough. You have to think about the machine before and after." Only by being thoughtful can we improve our production immediately. We not only need to buy imported equipment, but also invite consultants from foreign manufacturers to help solve installation and use problems, and finally train our workers. After all this, an imported machine The introduction process is considered complete.”

Hearing this, Ye Kai's heart fluctuated a little.Yin Congnan went on to say, "We have done aid projects in Africa. Compared with some African countries, we are advanced, but the technical and human support we give to African countries, developed countries will not give us."

Yin Congnan sighed at this point, "We have to work harder."

These words were like a hand, tightly gripping Ye Kai's heart.He asked himself, Ye Kai, have you worked harder?
