Chapter 257 Outsourcing
Hearing Xie Chunyan mention the petrochemical machine, Lin Zhenhua smiled and said: "Coincidentally, Xiao Ma told me a few days ago that he wanted me to dig Shen Jiale over. You all know Shen Jiale, right?"

In this circle of people, there are really not many people who don't know Shen Jiale.Su Baocheng was relatively far away, and had heard of the name of this young female welder, so he asked curiously: "Isn't this Shen Jiale the best female welder in your Light Chemical Department system, what is she doing now? "

"The administrative department of Jiangshidian is responsible for issuing bath tickets." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Nonsense, isn't this using gold as bricks?" Su Baocheng muttered.

Xie Chunyan nodded and said: "Yes, there are still a large number of senior technicians like her in Jiangshi Electric, and now they have changed jobs. I went to see it some time ago. Jiangshi Electric's main business now is refrigerators. The degree of automation is very high, and many good lathes and millers spend their days processing door shafts and handles, which are things that only apprentices can do, which is a complete waste of talents.”

Wei Jingwen, the director of the Institute of Electronics, interjected: "Can you please coordinate with the hall and transfer these workers to our Hanhua Heavy Industry? Just like Lao Wei." He didn't say anything. Transferred from Huazhong School.

Wei Dongqi heard Wei Jingwen talking about himself, so he interjected: "I have talked with some old colleagues about this matter, and I have also understood their thoughts from the side. Now Jiang Shidian's benefits are good, and the bonuses and benefits are better than ours. Hanhua Heavy Industry is not bad either. Those workers’ families are all in Nandu, and their social connections are also in Jiangshidian.

"Everyone is helpless." Lin Zhenhua said, "Between family and career, most people will still choose family."

Once upon a time, there was a popular slogan in society such as "letting go of the small family and caring for everyone", but decades of political campaigns have exhausted people's political enthusiasm without a trace.Now when everyone is doing things, they put their families first, and career considerations can be secondary.

Jiangshidian is located in the suburbs of the southern city. The living conditions, children's education conditions, etc. are better than those of Xunyang. Most Jiangshidian employees would rather stay in the factory and do some simple work than go to Xunyang. Yang came to use his expertise.

"The awareness of people nowadays is really getting lower and lower. They don't talk about ideals, and everything depends on money. When we were young, would it be like this? At that time, as long as the country called, we could go anywhere at any time." Su Baocheng began to babble. The ground complained.

The old man Su Baocheng is going to retire soon, and now he basically doesn't like everything, and he complains a lot when it comes to social atmosphere.Fortunately, Lin Zhenhua was regarded as an aspiring young man in his eyes, and he always appreciated it, so he didn't make trouble for Lin Zhenhua.The provincial economic commission appointed him to be Lin Zhenhua's boss, probably out of such considerations.

Lin Zhenhua knew Su Baocheng's temper, so he directly filtered out his words as air.He turned his head and said to Xie Chunyan: "Mr. Xie, what you calculated just now is only a static situation. It refers to the situation where we maintain the existing business scale. If our business expands further, these manpower will not be enough. .”

Xie Chunyan laughed and said, "Why, Xiao Lin, your current business is not enough, and you plan to continue to expand?"

"Of course." Lin Zhenhua said, and he counted for Xie Chunyan with his fingers: "Look, first of all, we still have a big order waiting for the central government to review, and that is a set of oil refining equipment for the Siya tribe in southern Sudan. Regardless of whether this equipment can be made or not, we have to prepare to enter the petrochemical market, which is full of gold."

"Yes." Xie Chunyan nodded.She had heard Lin Zhenhua talk about the Siya tribe before, and she was also a bold person, and she was also full of interest in this kind of project.At present, the oil refining equipment order of the Siya Tribe is still being discussed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Military Commission and other places.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Secondly, we are now developing two new products. One is 40 tons of large chemical fertilizers. I heard Director Wei said that the current theoretical design is no problem. It is mainly based on Dutch technology. What is the name? with..."

"It is the Dutch carbon dioxide gas stripping method. The synthetic pressure of urea is 14 MPa, and the synthetic conversion rate is 57% to 58%. The production efficiency is higher than our traditional aqueous solution full cycle method, and the energy consumption and production The cost can be greatly reduced, and the daily output of a single series can reach 1750 to 2100 tons." Wei Dongqi is beaming when he talks about technical problems, and he is not afraid that others will not understand.

Lin Zhenhua waved his hand, signaling Wei Dongqi to introduce these in another occasion.Wei Dongqi scratched his head embarrassingly, smiled at the confused Lang Dong, Cen Youjun and the others, and said, "I'm sorry, I've been thinking about it these days. When I lie on the bed at night and close my eyes, These things."

Lin Zhenhua continued: "Director Wei said that the main technical obstacle is the production process of the high-pressure ammonia pump and the high-pressure ammonium ammonium pump. In addition, there are still some difficulties in the processing of the high-pressure container. Director Wei has assured me They said that no later than this time next year, they will be able to complete all the process design, and then we will be able to take orders.”

"The high-pressure vessel is another electric welding job." Xie Chunyan smiled wryly. She has worked as a leader in charge of so many productions, and she is very familiar with these things.

Lin Zhenhua gave her a wry smile, and continued: "The second product is a refrigerator compressor production line we are developing. We expect to produce 30 refrigerator compressors per year with an output value of 6000 million. The most important thing is , can replace imports and save the country more than US$1000 million in foreign exchange.”

"Xiao Lin, why don't we let go of the compressor project first." Su Baocheng suggested, "We are so short of talents, now we have to concentrate on fighting the war of annihilation. Chairman Mao said in the past..."

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "This project has a lot of money. The money I'm talking about is money. I learned from Director Zhu of the Machinery Industry Committee that in 1983, our country's refrigerator output was less than 19%. Last year, it reached 55 units, an increase of two times; this year it is even more likely to exceed 150 million units, with a growth rate of nearly 200%. If this momentum continues, I judge that within five years, the number of refrigerators in the country will The annual output may exceed 5 million. At that time, the biggest bottleneck is the compressor. If it is all imported, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars a year. The country cannot ignore it. If we can make a breakthrough in domestic compressors, Profits will be huge."

"However, if such a business is added, at least there will be a shortage of hundreds of workers. The production of compressors should be the work of machine tool workers, right?" Xie Chunyan sighed.

"You can't wait to make money." Zhu Tiejun said, "People's problems can always be solved, and it's hard to find opportunities to make money. Especially for projects involving foreign exchange for imports, we have the conditions to do so. If there are no conditions, we must create conditions.”

Xie Chunyan said: "It would be great if they all had the same idea as Director Zhu. Jiang Shidian's Niu Beisheng and Jin Jianbo are exactly the opposite. They hide from difficulties, and hide from difficulties when there are no difficulties. When they started the refrigerator production line At that time, he patted his chest to the hall and said that the self-production of compressors could be realized. Now almost two years have passed, and there is no movement at all, and even a technical section chief has come to us."

Wei Dongqi said: "This is the truth. Director Niu and Xiao Jin thought it was too troublesome to develop the compressor, and they have been refusing to allocate research funds. In name, they asked me to take the lead, but in fact they didn't provide any conditions. How can people do it?" ? On the contrary, Manager Lin is very enthusiastic about making compressors. He wants people to give people, money to give money, and equipment to buy equipment. I have issued a military order to Manager Lin. Within a year, I will definitely produce domestic compressors. .”

"Okay." Xie Chunyan said in a concluding tone, "Everyone has heard the situation. At present, our worker gap is about 1000. In the future, the gap is a static gap of 2000 in Xiao Lin's words. As for the dynamic gap, I I don’t estimate it, and I don’t know if Xiaolin will come up with a few new projects for everyone at this time next year.”

Everyone laughed together. For Xie Chunyan's prophecy, everyone would rather believe it than nothing.Lin Zhenhua is so good at projects, even Lian Xunzi's dead bicycle can become a treasure in his hands, and it even made headlines in French newspapers.Even if Lin Zhenhua told everyone tomorrow that he was going to develop a star destroyer, everyone would definitely not have any surprised expressions, but would cooperate tacitly to help him research materials and techniques.

"In short, the lack of people is our number one problem right now. Let's talk about it, how can we solve it?" Xie Chunyan asked.

Everyone fell into silence. Cen Youjun looked around and saw that no one made a sound, so he raised his hand and said, "Let me start with a few words. Our company's sales manager, Cen Youxin, is my cousin. He has been working for several years. He is running business and is familiar with the factories in the surrounding provinces. He told me that there are some enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy in the surrounding provinces. Now they can only rely on bank loans to pay wages, and there are no benefits. If we can give We should be able to poach some workers from these factories with relatively favorable conditions.”

"This can be considered." Su Baocheng nodded and said, "There are many such enterprises in Jiangnan Province, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the number of advanced technology is not much. Besides, workers who can reach the fourth or fifth level are generally There are seniors and juniors, and it is difficult for them to leave their hometowns and come to Xunyang. This situation is similar to that of Jiang Shidian."

"It's true. I went to these factories to recruit people in the past, and only some retired workers were recruited. Basically, the current employees are unwilling to move." Cen Youjun said.

"Retirees can do things at home, but it is more difficult to go to the construction site. Now our construction sites are mainly in foreign countries. It is too unrealistic for these half-grown old men to live in the open air." Xie Chunyan said.The "home" she said of course does not mean the family, but the inside of the factory.

"The second way is to recruit workers." Qiu Qingyang said, "The Xunyang Labor Bureau has always wanted us to recruit more unemployed young people. Since we are so short of people, let's recruit 500 of them at once."

Lang Dong interjected, "Be careful. We are short of people, but we would rather be short than excessive. As far as I know, some of the poor households in the hands of the Labor Bureau are crooked, and they won't be able to do much work if they come in. , It will cause a lot of trouble. My point of view is that all recruits must be strictly screened, and those with poor moral character and pampered are not allowed."

Qiu Qingyang laughed and said, "Lao Lang, I know your standards. How many relatives have I offended just because of your employment standards in the past?"

Lang Dongdao: "Especially for the children of these related households, they can't use it. They don't work hard to learn skills, and they think about sitting in an office every day. The work is too tiring, and the money is too little. If you criticize a few words, seven aunts and eight aunts It's all here."

"Okay, Lao Lang, stop complaining." Qiu Qingyang quickly raised the white flag to surrender.

Xie Chunyan said: "I support Manager Lang's opinion. Hanhua Heavy Industry is now a large industrial group. We must pay attention to the quality of personnel, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future. Especially in the future, we will have a large number of overseas projects. If the workers' morality If the quality is not high, or if you can’t bear hardships, you will lose the face of the country if you go overseas, and you can’t be careless about this issue.”

Hearing Xie Chunyan's words, Lin Zhenhua said: "If you want to say that people with good moral character and can endure hardships and stand hard work, I don't think there is any better than migrant workers? Why don't we consider recruiting some migrant workers?"

"Migrant workers?" Everyone looked at Lin Zhenhua together, with doubts in their eyes, as if they thought his words were incredible.

The concept of migrant workers was more commonly referred to as migrant workers at the time.When encountering work such as building roads and dams, the state and enterprises will recruit some migrant workers to undertake them.It is very rare to use migrant workers in the field of industrial production. In everyone's mind, migrant workers are temporary workers. Basically, they work today and leave tomorrow. How can they be trained as skilled workers?

But what Lin Zhenhua can see is completely different from everyone else.In the era he has experienced, migrant workers are the main body of the enterprise. There are 2 million migrant workers working in various positions across the country. Almost all of the production lines in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta are migrant workers.

"Let's think about this question later," Lin Zhenhua said.At today's meeting, he didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, what he wanted to say was another idea:
"Everyone, the calculations we made just now are based on the assumption that Hanhua Heavy Industries will undertake all the production tasks. In fact, many of our tasks do not necessarily have to be completed by ourselves. We can ask others Enterprises collaborate. This approach is called outsourcing.”
