Chapter 185 Chapter 183 Construction of the Factory Begins
Look at the eagle flying under the blue sky. Look at the scaffolding, it's filled with golden sunlight.
We are glorious construction workers who are loyal to the people and build socialism for the motherland. We work tirelessly in all directions.
There is always vast land in front of us and brand-new buildings behind us. This is how our life goes.
Every city has its own construction team, and in this era, the unit with the largest gap in the ratio of regular workers to temporary workers may be construction companies.
There are both men and women, carrying earth and moving bricks, regardless of men and women, and they are exposed to wind and sun. But even this kind of job can be regarded as the best choice for rural people to leave the countryside. In the past two years, it is the only place that has not encouraged people to return to rural areas to farm in their hometowns and has also recruited urban migrant workers.
What are urban migrant workers? They are people who are already working in the city but have to be sent back. But there are some people in my hometown who are in difficult circumstances to relocate. Most of them are recruited as temporary workers by construction companies.
Luo Cheng did not expect that just one day later, Director Zhang went to the construction unit to apply for factory construction yesterday morning. Now a large number of construction workers have arrived, including old, middle-aged, young men and women. Those holding shovels, hoes, and baskets, those who know are construction teams, but those who don’t know would really think they are rural production teams.
Because it is only a one-story factory building, the foundation does not need to be very deep. But there is no excavator, and all the work is done by workers using similar agricultural tools. The scene looks great, but in fact the effect is not strong.
There are excavator factories in China, but they are still backward and have low production capacity, and they are all used in large-scale construction in big cities. The construction of small places can only rely on manual construction.
Last night, Luo Cheng was actually a little worried. He made a rough estimate in his mind, from the time he started recruiting mechanical operators to the one he promised to go out yesterday. There are already more than thirty formal workers, and with the people they are about to bring, there will be about a hundred people.
The Human Resources Department arranged for several civilian workers to come over, plus the ten temporary workers who were originally recruited from the factory on the street. Anyway, if all the workers in the factory are in place, there will already be more than 200 people.
There are more than 200 people, but Luo Cheng is actually not worried. There is only one production workshop in the factory, and the other one is already building walls. The roof of the tile-roofed house is actually fast. But the workshop really can't accommodate so many workers, mainly because there are also various equipment that need to be placed in the workshop.
After Luo Cheng came to the factory, he handed over the new engine structural diagram to Team Leader Jiang and the others. This time he handed over the structural diagram of two parts. Because even if it is an engine, it is impossible for every component to be difficult. There is also a supporting structure, and the sign-in is obtained, so just do the two parts directly.
After leaving the research office, Luo Cheng went to find Director Zhang. In fact, Director Zhang was also waiting for Luo Cheng to come. The machinery and equipment will be delivered today in the morning and are already being loaded. When it gets here, there will be only one workshop in the factory.
This machine is more expensive than a human being. A complete set costs more than 20,000 yuan. So it must be placed in the workshop, but now look, one workshop has been divided into several land plates. A group of manual forklifts, a group of block trucks, and carpenters also occupied a corner. It is impossible for all car mechanics to go outside the workshop to repair. The cars that need to be repaired are no longer driven into the workshop, but the things that need to be disassembled and repaired are still done in the workshop.
The produced frames are all placed outside the workshop, because every time the engine and other equipment are installed, it is fine to leave them outside the workshop. Many temporary workers, painting and finishing work, are also working outside. But that's just fine if the weather is good. When it rains, people working outside can't do it.
Nowadays, when machinery and equipment come in, even if it is just a set of equipment, it needs to leave enough operating space and it takes up a lot of space.
With Luo Cheng doing so many things at once, even if people build their houses quickly, they still can't keep up.
Hearing what Director Zhang said, Luo Cheng didn't want to ask about the construction site opposite the factory. Luo Cheng doesn't understand planning, and he doesn't need to design it himself. The construction company will actually plan it for you based on the area. Anyway, no matter what the factory is in this era, once you enter, you will find that which direction is the office building, which direction is the workshop, or some other place. The larger the factory, the more similar it is.
Since there are not enough workshops, a workshop built with walls is too slow. Luo Cheng pulled Director Zhang to the office and discussed with him about building a row of open-air parking sheds, where the produced cars would be placed. Moreover, as the factory gets bigger in the future, parking for company vehicles and personal bicycles will also need to be regulated.
When this shed was built, it was very cold on a cold day. It couldn’t withstand the wind, but it could protect it from the rain. With so many welders in the factory, a large shed can be built in one day. Although the price of steel is very high now, the price of building a shed may be higher than building a factory with walls. But other textile factories have their own parking areas. From now on, life will definitely get better and better, and workers will gradually be able to afford bicycles. Setting up an open-air iron shed for parking in advance will definitely not be a waste, and now it can also allow people in the workshop to make a transition.
Director Zhang admires Luo Cheng's ability to draw cakes anyway. A factory with a hundred people can always be on par with other large factories with thousands of people, or even plan for a large factory with 10,000 people. But he just did this. If Luo Cheng didn't have such an idea, he wouldn't agree to be the logistics director. He might as well become a workshop director in the repair workshop and live a life like a pension in advance.
Luo Cheng went to run errands to buy materials for this iron shed. Director Zhang felt that Luo Cheng was like his biological son at the steel rolling mill. When other factories require steel materials, they have to order them, even if there are ready-made materials there. You still need to get the approval slip to buy it. Because steel resources are in short supply, you can’t just buy them if you have money.
For example, machinery factories, machine parts factories, agricultural machinery factories, etc., and even construction sites, when facing steel rolling mills, they all ask grandpa to report to grandma for goods.
But the steel for the manual forklift produced by Luocheng is as easy as buying lumber. If you want the goods, they will deliver them, and then you can sign the order after the goods are delivered.
"Okay, I'll make a trip later. You ask the people in the workshop to prepare the recently produced iron pallets and manual forklifts, and have them deliver them. We'll also deliver a batch of goods."
"Well, when the machine is delivered, it will be installed directly in the workshop. If there is nothing else, I will have someone clear the land you mentioned."
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing I want to tell you, which is the matter of recruiting workers. Last night, many masters went to my house. Later, those masters may bring their apprentices or children to report. You can ask people to do it. The department manager registers the relationship and then just accepts the person. How to arrange the work is up to you. If any master in the factory is short of someone to work, he can just recruit someone. If it doesn't work, let them go to the construction site opposite to help move bricks. What."
Luo Cheng didn't let Director Zhang leave immediately. He told him that the masters at home were coming to the factory yesterday, and that there might even be machine operators reporting to work today. Yesterday, someone said that they had received the approval, and they might go to the original factory to go through the formalities this morning, and then come directly.
Anyway, there are only a dozen or so regular worker places left at most for former apprentices in the repair shop to become regular workers. If they want more places, they can only produce as many manual forklifts as possible. Then with the transaction receipt, you can go to the Personnel Bureau to apply for more official quotas.
Luo Cheng also plans to slow down the recruitment matter for now, at least until the factory there is built. If we look for people again, even if we build a shed in the open air, there will be no place to arrange it.
Director Zhang did some calculations and found that the workers Luo Cheng hired were basically Level 4 workers. In a place like Ngee Ann, Level 4 workers were considered top-notch workers, but there were also Level 5 workers, but few. No matter how senior you are, there is basically nothing in Ngee Ann, and some may be working in management positions.
Many large-scale factories may only have a few fourth-level workers. Most of them are at the first and second levels, but at the third level they start to decrease. Third-level workers can actually be regarded as skilled masters.
As the installation of Luo Cheng developed like this, Director Zhang felt that if he poached people like this, he would have to dig out something. Luo Cheng had wanted to build a motorized forklift before, but Team Leader Jiang and the others were still working on engines.
A small factory with a hundred people, including Luo Cheng himself, actually has four engineers in the automotive field. Although Team Leader Jiang and the others still belong to the No. 1 Automobile Factory, Director Zhang feels from the way Team Leader Jiang and the others obey Luo Cheng's orders that these people may not be able to escape.
The two stopped chatting. Luo Cheng had to go to the steel rolling mill, and Director Zhang had to immediately arrange for someone to clear the place where the iron shed was built. They are all on the right side of the roadside in the factory. There are some trees of various sizes, which are regarded as green areas in the factory. In the past, when the weather was hot, workers liked to eat under the big trees at noon.
These trees will not be wasted. Small ones will be cut down and used as firewood in the kitchen. It's a big one. There is a carpenter in the factory. Luo Cheng just bought a wood-cutting machine in the factory yesterday, which can be used as wood.
This time Luo Cheng went to the steel rolling mill and learned Director Zhang's tricks. I called Wang Hui, the new accountant from the finance department, and called Wang Cheng in the workshop to be the driver, and then set off to the steel rolling mill.
There is no female secretary here, so bringing a female accountant would be a bit of a show-off. Moreover, this jeep does not have a power steering pump, so it is difficult to drive. He also acts as a temporary driver, which is consistent with his status as the director of a car factory.
In the car, Luo Cheng had a serious chat with Wang Hui for the first time, only to find that the other person was actually quite good. She was transferred here, and she had some connections, but she didn't rely on connections. She was also a technical secondary school student and majored in accounting, so she didn't have to worry about work arrangements.
It is not comparable to Xu Haitang, a high school student who looks a bit like a vase. High school students are more educated, but have no professional skills. It is actually unsatisfactory for Xu Haitang to be a broadcaster.
"~Ah~Tch."
"Haitang, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, maybe it's because the weather is cold and I have a little cold."
"Let me prescribe you some cold medicine."
"No, it should be fine."
Xu Haitang was currently in the office reading a book borrowed from the library. She wanted to work hard and love each other to improve her abilities. She never thought that she had become a vase in Luo Cheng's impression.
But the one who really came to the factory and did nothing was actually Li Xiaotong. There were no patients in the factory, and workers did not come to bandage any minor wounds. Although it is said that for those in their industry, it is best if nothing happens, which means that others are fine. But Li Xiaotong really wanted to make a move.
After thinking about it, Li Xiaotong decided to keep an eye on Xu Haitang and give her medicine if she sneezes again. If she has a fever, give her a butt shot.
In the car heading to the steel rolling mill, Luo Cheng asked Wang Hui if there was any way to increase the number of regular workers in the factory. Isn't her uncle also a small leader in the personnel bureau? Luo Cheng does not reject the matter of using connections.
"Director Luo, I can't help it, and this is a matter of the human resources department. But our factory is not producing that manual forklift. You don't need to report the production plan to the local government. If the steel rolling mill can meet the long-term and stable needs, you can sign A stable supply agreement can actually be arranged as planned production, and then reported to the Personnel Bureau."
Wang Hui answered Luo Cheng's question. Her uncle was from the Personnel Bureau, so he knew a little about some application quotas. But she also looked at the manual forklift product in the factory. It is a tool-type product and is usually planned based on sales volume. She feels that no one will want this in large quantities for a long time.
Just like the wrenches used in factories, although the repairmen in the factory have a handful of them, the demand is only about this. She feels that no matter how big the steel rolling mill is, it will not require a manual forklift to sign a supply contract with the mill. But when she said this, she was just proposing a solution.
However, the method proposed by Wang Hui did not feel feasible to her. But what made Luo Cheng's eyes light up was that Director Chen, the smiling director of the steel rolling mill, said last time that he wanted as much as he wanted. This time he went to join the army and did not dare to sign the supply agreement, which proved that he was showing off in front of himself, and if he showed off, he would be prepared to be slapped in the face.
If the steel rolling mill was really willing to sign the agreement, Luo Cheng would be shocked as to why a steel rolling mill would need so many manual forklifts. But more importantly, you really can't underestimate the smiling Director Chen.
Not long after Luo Cheng left, Luo Baotian took Luo Wen and several people from the team to the automobile factory again. Last time, we didn't produce much rice bran and soybean meal. This time Luo Wen was going to the city to tell his son Luo Cheng about the farming situation in the town. So Luo Baotian simply arranged for the tractor to come to the city to pull feed back.
The tractor did not enter the factory, so as to avoid the trouble of registration, he left Luo Wen at the factory gate and went to the grain factory. Luo Baotian had the order in hand. As long as the purchase amount was not exceeded, he could go and pick up the goods at any time.
