When Lin Weidong and the others returned to the rolling mill, it was already noon.
"Elder Huang, Leader, it's getting late. Why don't we talk while eating?”Manager Yang suggested.
"Alright!" The leader nodded. He had eaten at the rolling mill before and knew that the food in the small kitchen of the rolling mill was not bad.
As Lin Weidong and the others walked into the canteen, the workers who were already eating in the canteen looked over.
In the kitchen, there were also people looking over. It was He Yuzhu and Ma Hua.
There was a reception in the factory today. It was a notice that had been issued in the morning.
The canteen had already started preparing the ingredients.
Now, they had to determine who would cook this meal.
If it was before, it would undoubtedly be He Yuzhu.
However, things were different now. Ma Hua had already stood up, and he could be the host.
This was also the first time He Yuzhu took the initiative to prepare a welcome meal.
Because he knew that he had to rely on his culinary skills to make a living.
Previously, no one in the rolling mill could compare to him, so he naturally did not have to worry.
He was even too lazy to cook for the officials who "sucked the blood of the common people".
But now, Ma Hua had seriously threatened his position.
If Ma Hua were to take on the task of serving the guests, then he would really be dispensable.
"Ma Hua, prepare a good dish and send it over." Deputy Factory Manager Li said after glancing at the two of them.
Ma Hua heard this and his face lit up."Manager, please wait a moment. It will be done soon."
He Yuzhu's expression turned ugly.
"Brother Ma, let me help you.”Fatty quickly said.
Liu Lan shook her head when she saw He Yuzhu's expression.
But who could he blame for this? It was all Silly Zhu's own doing.
He thought that since he had good culinary skills, it was fine even if he made a mistake. The factory would not dare to do anything to him.
In the end, Ma Hua was given a chance to stand up.
However, when Lin Weidong and the others entered the private room, they saw an unexpected person.
"Factory Manager Yang, Deputy Factory Manager Li, and all the leaders, I'll play a movie for everyone to relax while we're eating.”Xu Damao said as he fiddled with the projector.
"Did you arrange this?" The leader frowned and said.
"Hurry up and get out." Manager Yang's face was livid with anger.
The following conversation was very formal.
It wasn't something an ordinary projectionist like Xu Damao could listen to.
Xu Damao didn't expect that his flattery would land on the horse's hooves. He quickly put away the projector and left dejectedly.
Lin Weidong understood that Xu Damao wanted to take advantage of the mealtime to come here and see the leader.
It was a pity that the timing was not right. Otherwise, he might really have come up and showed his face.
"Since there's still some time before the dishes are served, let's talk about serious matters first.”the leader said.
"Good!"
Everyone sat around the table.
"There are quite a lot of inventions on your side now. I've done a count. There are a total of five types of machines in the steel mill, electric fans, electronic watches, solar panels, and electric cars.”
"Electronic watches require too much precision. Although we have imported a small number of high-precision machine tools from abroad, they are not used to make watches.”
"Good steel needs to be placed on the blade, so the production of electronic watches should be put on hold for now.”
Manager Yang nodded.
The leader continued,"As for solar panels, although you can also manufacture them here.”
"But it's too difficult to obtain the materials to make solar panels here, so I plan to let the machinery factory be responsible for the production of solar panels.”
"Of course, after the solar panels are manufactured, they will first be supplied to your steel mill, and it will be provided free of charge.”Seeing that Factory Manager Yang wanted to say something, the higher-up spoke first.
Manager Yang thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Those materials were indeed not easy to obtain. It was not bad to get the solar panels for free.
Factory Manager Zheng, who was beside him, was smiling so widely that he could not close his mouth. The production of solar panels was a big piece of fat meat.
"As for the most important battery for electric cars, I don't have much to say about who will produce it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to call Old Feng.”
"Of course, when you produce electric cars, the battery factory will provide you with free batteries.”
Factory Manager Feng also smiled and nodded.
Although it was a huge expense to provide batteries for the rolling mill.
However, if they could master the manufacturing method of this new lead-acid battery, they could earn more in other places.
Manager Yang had no objections to this, but he smiled bitterly.""In that case, our rolling mill only has two small businesses left: electric fans and electric scooters.”
"Don't worry, we won't forget your contributions.”
"In addition, if your steel mill has any requests in the future, as long as it's within my ability, I'll try my best to pass them to you.”
The leader did not say it explicitly, but everyone understood what he meant.
Therefore, Factory Manager Yang and Deputy Factory Manager Li also smiled.
Then, Manager Yang said,"Leader, we really have something we need your help with."”
"I knew this meal wasn't for nothing.”The big leader smiled and shook his head." Tell me about it. But let me make it clear first. I can't agree to anything that's too much."”
"Not too much, this is not too much at all.”"It's like this. Although Weidong has designed a lot of things, he's still not done yet."”
"But the strength of our engineering department is too weak. There are only a few people. We can't even handle the replacement of the machine, let alone other things.”
"Besides Weidong, the only engineer is about to retire.”
We can't let Weidong be in charge of those small things, so…"
"So you want him!" The leader said unhappily.
"That's right, that's right. Leader, please give us some support. We want both engineers and technicians.”
"You really dare to speak." The leader smiled helplessly." All the places are short of people now, especially engineers.”
"I can only give you 20 people at most. There will be no more than five engineers, and all of them will be low-level engineers.”
"Enough, enough!" Manager Yang nodded quickly.
This number had already far exceeded his expectations.
With the addition of 20 engineers or technicians, the strength of the engineering department of the rolling mill would increase by several times.
At this moment, Elder Huang, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said,""If that's the case, I have an idea.”
"Since we want to add new manpower here, why don't we separate the engineering department of the rolling mill and make it a separate unit?”
"There is only one mission, which is to be responsible for the research of various mechanical equipment.”
The leader's eyes lit up when he heard that.
They had witnessed Lin Weidong's creativity.
If they really did this, it might bring them even bigger surprises in the future.
Factory Manager Yang and Deputy Factory Manager Li were a little flustered.
