Chapter 263 Difficulties cannot be overcome (fifth update, please subscribe...)

"You need an air conditioner here."

As soon as he entered Qiu Yuchi's office and felt the stuffy heat in the office, Li Yian said directly.

Qiu Yuchi said with a smile.

"It was installed before, but recently more than a dozen German engineers came. They were not used to the weather here and the air conditioners were not enough, so I asked people to dismantle the air conditioners for them. Anyway, when I was in Chongqing, I had already installed them. I’m used to this kind of weather, you know, Chongqing is a hot stove!”

Qiu Yuchi's answer made Li Yian stunned, and he looked at him who was also sweating on his head and said.

"Manager Qiu, you must never do this again. If the air conditioner is not enough, just report it and I will find a solution."

With the system mall here, buying an air conditioner is no big deal. Even if it costs a little money, the benefits are worth it.

"It costs money to buy an air conditioner. Borneo is full of waste, so it's better to spend it wisely. Some difficulties can be overcome and you can always get through it. When things get more relaxed in the future, it won't be too late to enjoy it."

Qiu Yuchi's answer touched Li Yian's heart and he said.

"Manager Qiu was surprised by what he said. Borneo is full of waste, but it is precisely because of this that we must create the best working conditions for all technical staff. Only when the working conditions are good can we go all out to work. Only in this way can we speed up the construction. Installing air conditioners can basically prevent mosquito bites. Mosquitoes here can transmit malaria. Okay, I will send ten more air conditioners to you now. "

Before Qiu Yuchi could speak, Li Yian said.

"And now the company is also trial-producing air conditioners. Soon, we will not only be able to use our own air conditioners, but we can even export them. If no one uses air conditioners, how can we increase production and improve quality? Air conditioners must have advantages to ensure the use of scientific research and technical personnel. , this is the basic principle.”

How could Qiu Yuchi not feel the care and regard for scientific research and technical personnel shown in this seemingly simple sentence? He said quickly.

"Thank you, Chief Li, for your concern. To be honest, of all the officers I have come across over the years, Chief Li is the only one who truly cares about scholars and scientific researchers."

Many people just talk about it, and even if they say it, when faced with difficulties in real life, they just let scientific researchers overcome the difficulties. Of course, when researchers are asked to overcome difficulties, it will never stop them from having fun.

"Science is the primary productive force. It doesn't matter who you care about?"

When Qiu Yuchi repeated "Science is the primary productive force", Li Yian asked about the construction status of the steel company. When Qiu Yuchi reported on the progress of the company's various projects, they were like old friends. Occasionally, Li Yi'an will smile and ask some questions. Although he is not a metallurgical expert or a real engineer, he can also make some suggestions based on the experience of later generations. The only thing that makes people feel a bit regretful is that Borneo is located in the tropics and has a lot of rainfall. , otherwise, Li Yian would really propose the Soviet wartime factory model - building a factory while installing equipment, and workers would start production in the open-air factory before the factory building was capped.

Even so, Li Yian still said.

"While building the factory, we should first complete the foundation, and then build the main frame of the factory first. As for the walls, there is no need to rush construction. After the main frame is completed, the roof should be built first, which should speed up the construction progress."

After thinking about it for a moment, Qiu Yuchi realized that this suggestion could indeed speed up the construction progress of the factory, and nodded quickly.

"What Chief Li said is true. Let's try it here first. If it succeeds, we will report the good news to Chief Li."

Nodding, Li Yian said.

"Let those engineers come up with a plan, and when it is successful, we can promote it to other places. Manager Qiu, there is a certain distance between your place and Sandakan. Although in future planning, Sandakan, Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan Tukdu is an integrated urban area, but it is still a bit remote now, and there is no train connection. There is only one simple road, and the conditions are a bit worse. So if you need anything, you must mention it in time, especially in life, Qian Don’t always think about overcoming difficulties. Difficulties must be overcome, but my responsibility is to help you solve these worries. If you need anything, just ask.”

The reason why Li Yian stressed so much was because when he was working as a mule, his bosses always asked them to overcome difficulties. Later, he discovered an iron-clad fact - those who advocate overcoming difficulties will definitely not have difficulties. They will always let others to overcome difficulties. People who need to overcome difficulties are often people who need to face difficulties. For them, let alone overcoming difficulties, it is already a blessing that no one else caused difficulties.

"Thank you for your concern, Chief Li. If there are any difficulties, there is one thing that may be a bit difficult to describe..."

Although Qiu Yuchi had already let go, he still felt a little hesitant when he thought of the workers' request.

"Don't hesitate, just ask if you need anything." Li Yian said directly.

"I will definitely try my best to help you solve the problem."

"Well, this is the suggestion of the workers. As you know, Mr. Li, there are almost 40,000 workers in Donghai Iron and Steel Company including the port. They are basically single men. As for men, it is inevitable, unavoidable..."

When mentioning the workers' demands, Qiu Yuchi was obviously a little embarrassed to express them. Just as he was embarrassed to continue speaking, Li Yian had already understood the meaning behind his words.

"Is this a specially appointed tea room?"

"Yes, the workers think there are too few tea rooms. There are only a few tea rooms for so many people, so they hope to add a few tea rooms for drinking tea."

It is really unspeakable to make this request, but as a leader of those workers, you must take into account the basic needs of the workers.

"Um……"

Li Yian leaned back on the wooden sofa backrest, thought for a while and said.

"This matter is indeed somewhat negligent. Although the teahouse is privately run and has not been included in the plan, but... well, since it is needed by the workers, I will ask people later who should be willing to open it for a few more times. Home."

With tens of thousands of young and strong men gathering together, it is inevitable that more tea places will need to be opened. It is human nature to drink tea, chat and talk about life.

To care about workers is to care about all aspects of them. A well-fed man does not know a hungry man is hungry. You cannot let others starve when you are full.

Seeing that he could talk about such things that could not be brought to the table, Qiu Yuchi naturally opened up even more. The two of them chatted like this, just like friends chatting. However, the lives of workers are always just part of it. A small part, at most, just concerned about it. The topics they talked about were all focused on the development of Donghai Steel Company, from construction to development, to future production planning, and even the development of steel types, as well as the entire Borneo The demand for steel in industrial planning has been discussed more or less a lot.

"I never thought that Chief Li had such a long-term vision for the iron and steel industry. Before the rise of the Anti-Japanese War, if there was any official in the country who could have such a long-term vision like Chief Li, how could he... Hey! That's all, that's the past. I won’t mention it anymore, I just hope that our East China Sea will become bigger and better, so that we can achieve your expectations, Chief Li."

While shaking his head with emotion, Qiu Yuchi said with concern.

"However, Chief Li, I have a question that has been weighing on my mind. I don't know whether I should ask it."

"Manager Qiu, just speak up."

"iron ore!"

So Qiu Yuchi expressed his long-standing worries.

"Mr. Li, although I know that importing scrap iron can also develop the steel industry, and Japan imported millions of tons of scrap iron from the United States every year before the war for steelmaking, the steel industry is inseparable from iron ore. Ours The iron-making blast furnace also needs iron ore. Without iron ore, the iron-making blast furnace cannot be put into operation, but..."

Looking at Chief Li, Qiu Yuchi said.

"I noticed that there seems to be no large iron ore mines here in Borneo, and it seems that the company is not engaged in exploration in this area. If this is the case, where will the iron ore needed for factory production come from? It seems that there are no large-scale iron ore mines in other parts of Southeast Asia. We can import iron ore. There seems to be a small iron ore in the Philippines, but its output is very limited. Before the war, it was mainly exported to Japan, but it was only a few hundred thousand tons a year, which is definitely not enough for us. So, What to do with our iron ore?”
