Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 155 Amateur group

While Duan Yun was busy designing his antennas and electrical appliances, the time for the technical transformation contest at the end of the month was getting closer and closer. The technicians and veteran technicians in each workshop of the factory also became busy, preparing various technical transformation plans. have entered the final stage of debugging.

In addition to the lathe modification, other workshops such as the heat treatment workshop, foundry workshop, and even the material preparation workshop have also come up with technological innovations such as hydraulic hand push trucks. It can be seen that the high bonuses and honors previously decided by the factory leaders The temptation to grassroots technicians and workers is still quite large.

However, compared with the modification of the machine tool in the first workshop, the technical transformation of other workshops has not improved much in terms of technical content and production efficiency.

So this time, the technical transformation of other workshops is obviously a role as a green leaf in the end. In the final competition for the top spot, the main battlefield is still in the first workshop.

It is precisely because of this that all the technicians in the technical department of the main factory also aimed at the equipment of the first workshop for technical transformation. Many of the technicians have already made design drawings and corresponding modified workpieces, and the equipment has entered the final adjustment. testing stage.

In fact, with the mechanical attainments of these technicians in the factory, they are not capable of completing such a complicated lathe modification independently, but they all found a shortcut, which is to 'learn' the working principle and design of Duan Yun's previous modification of the old SL lathe , and then make small adjustments, and finally move to the new lathe for modification.

To put it nicely, it is called borrowing, but to put it bluntly, it is to copy Duan Yun's idea!
However, this technological improvement competition does not have any restrictions on "borrowing" from other mature technologies. The most important criterion for judging the winner is the processing efficiency, and the other is the operation stability and safety of the modified machine.

After all, the factory manager and the secretary didn't pay much attention to the fairness of this kind of competition. What they wanted was a modified result with impressive statistics.

In fact, as early as more than a month ago, the superior issued a document on "Several Opinions of the State Council on the Improvement of Production Efficiency of State-owned Enterprises", which included technical improvement as an important suggestion and gave instructions. In addition, the Provincial Ministry of Industry will also organize a meeting of leaders of relevant state-owned enterprises in the province in mid-September. At the meeting, the leaders of various factories in the city will report the achievements of their factory's technological reforms. Those with outstanding achievements will receive additional funding and rewards from their superiors. The amount will be very substantial.

And this is the biggest motivation for factory director Qin Gang and secretary Zhao Dongsheng to push forward this technical transformation competition, and it is precisely because of this that they will spare no effort to promote this factory-wide technical transformation competition, making a big splash on this matter article!
Praise from superiors and appropriation of funds are slogans and goals that can be put on the table, but only a few senior leaders of the factory committee are aware of the secret struggle between the factory director and the secretary for the right to speak in the factory's technology.

Now the participants in this technical transformation competition are obviously divided into two levels, one is the "professional group" mainly composed of technicians from the technical department of the main factory and various workshops, and the other is the "amateur group" composed of grassroots technicians and ordinary employees .

Chief engineer Cheng and the technicians in the technical department and workshops under his leadership were obviously on the side of factory director Qin Gang. Except for chief engineer Gao Fengliangjie who took the initiative to give young technicians a "chance" to withdraw from the competition, almost all other technicians participated In this competition, no matter in terms of blueprint design or machine tool modification, it is much higher than other contestants.

As for the "amateur group" led by secretary Zhao Dongsheng, except for Duan Yun, who received a bonus for technical transformation, the others, including some old technicians, did not have much technical content in the things designed. After all, the strength of these technologies is to operate machines. rather than designing machines.

In other words, the only trump card that Zhao Dongsheng could rely on was actually Duan Yun alone.

But neither Zhao Dongsheng nor Qin Gang can lose this competition. If Qin Gang's technician wins, then he will be able to firmly control production and technology in his own hands in the future, and gain more say in decision-making.

And if the "amateur group" led by Zhao Dongsheng wins this competition, Mr. Cheng, who has been on the factory manager's side, and his technical department will be questioned. Zhao Dongsheng can also use this as an excuse to weaken Mr. Cheng. Therefore, in the secret battle with Qin Gang, he has the absolute upper hand.

This kind of thing can't be said clearly, but several leaders of the factory committee know it well, and they all have various calculations.

However, what makes Zhao Dongsheng a little uneasy recently is that Duan Yun, who has already made a big bet, has been obviously absent-minded recently. He learned from the night shift Huang Haitao that Duan Yun has not done a modification test in the past half a month, and even He didn't show too much enthusiasm for this technical transformation competition, and this state obviously didn't satisfy him.

So when there were three days left before the competition, Zhao Dongsheng decided to talk to Duan Yun and 'wind up' his head so that he could pay attention to this competition.

After getting off the night shift on Tuesday morning, Duan Yun came straight to Zhao Dongsheng's office after being notified in advance by the supervisor Huang Haitao.

At this moment, the office door was open. After entering the room, Duan Yun glanced at Zhao Dongsheng who was reading the newspaper on the office chair, then closed the door, picked up the thermos bottle, and prepared to pour water for Zhao Dongsheng.

Now that Duan Yun and the secretary are quite acquainted, he rinsed the cup with boiling water, opened the tea pot beside him, put some green tea in it, washed it with water, and respectfully placed it on Zhao Dongsheng's desk superior.

"Sit down." Seeing this, Zhao Dongsheng put down the newspaper in his hand and signaled Duan Yun to sit down.

"Did Secretary Zhao ask me for anything today?" Duan Yun asked.

"Are you tired from work recently?" Zhao Dongsheng asked.

"It's okay, I'm used to working the night shift now, and I'm not too tired." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Actually, after you successfully refitted the old machine tool last time, other leaders in the factory suggested that you be assigned to other positions in the day shift. After all, automatic lathes are highly productive and do not require manual operation, and only need workers from other positions Just stare at the material, but I didn't agree..." Zhao Dongsheng took a sip of water from his teacup and said to Duan Yun lightly: "Actually, I always thought that even if a real technical talent doesn't have to work hard, can contribute to the factory."

"Secretary Zhao, I'm really busy." Duan Yun said with a smile.

Duan Yun could naturally understand the meaning of Zhao Dongsheng's words.

Now that Duan Yun can live so comfortably in the factory, it was all specially arranged by Zhao Dongsheng. He said this today, apparently to remind Duan Yun not to forget what he should do...
