Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 63 Extraordinary promotion
  Tao Yuan said: "The director's position will be vacant for now, and then I will give you an extra burden. I will give you the position of deputy director and temporarily take charge of the engineering department."

Jiang Chen was stunned and pondered for a moment: "I don't have a problem, but I guess the higher-ups won't agree."

"After all, I am only 20 years old this year."

Yang Weimin said: "You don't have to worry about this. The director may not be able to do it, but at this juncture, the deputy director is not a big problem."

"By the way, what do you think of this girl Luo Xue's working ability?"

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "My working ability is pretty good, and I am careful in my work."

Yang Weimin nodded: "As long as you agree."

Jiang Chen was a little strange: "What do you mean?"

Yang Weimin said:

"Then Luo Xue communicated with the Human Resources Department in the morning and was willing to join the No. 3 Steel Plant. Lao Tao and I discussed that she would continue to be your assistant and help you manage some chores in the Engineering Department, so that you could free up your hands and concentrate on Do what you want to do.”

"Anyway, you are familiar with each other. She has also been your assistant for a while, so you will be able to cooperate better. Of course, she is on the administrative staff level, not the technical staff level, which is equivalent to the back office of the engineering department."

Jiang Chen clicked his tongue in his heart.

Luo Xue communicated with the Human Resources Department. Didn't the two of them reach an agreement and just go through the process?
  It's good if you have connections. The starting point is not low, and you have certain management rights.

To be honest, Luo Xue could still be an assistant.

It's just that Jiang Chen is a little worried. It was hard to get Luo Xue to regress yesterday. Now that he's been thrown around again, it won't be easy to deal with in the future.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Chen asked tentatively: "What, is this a notice? Or a discussion?"

Tao Yuan was stunned: "Why, aren't you guys very cooperative? It seems like you are reluctant."

He was also surprised that many people wanted to have such a beautiful girl like Luo Xue as an assistant, but why Jiang Chen still seemed a little reluctant.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "I think this assistant should have more social experience, be more friendly, and be able to communicate well internally and externally."

"After this period of cooperation, I think Bai Jing is more suitable."

Tao Yuan waved his hand: "Bai Jing, don't even think about it. She is from a radio station."

"Well, for Luo Xue to be the assistant of the Engineering Department, let's go directly to Lao Liu. Since you are not the deputy director yet, I won't talk to you about the personnel matters of the Engineering Department."

It seems that Vice Minister Zhou played a role in this.

Although he didn't say anything yesterday, he brought up Luo Rui and then Luo Xue. Can Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan pretend not to hear?

Jiang Chen spread his hands: "Then it's over, why are you asking me hypocritically?"

Yang Weimin said: "If I knew you were against it, I would ask you a damn question."

"So, the training department is under the engineering department?"

Jiang Chen snorted: "I am not the deputy director of the Engineering Department yet. There is no need to discuss with me the organizational structure of the Engineering Department."

Yang Weimin took a box of matches and threw it at him: "Speak carefully."

Jiang Chen reached out to take it and put it into his pocket: "That's okay, but I have to say it first. I may not have much time to manage it in the future."

Yang Weimin said: "If you don't have time, then you should arrange the affairs of the training department first. Anyway, if there is a problem in the training department, we will ask you for it."

Jiang Chen sighed: "I feel like I'm at a big loss. With the title of deputy section chief and no salary increase, I have a lot of responsibilities."

Yang Weimin even felt a little shady: "I asked you, what's the matter with you? You're either a salary or a reward for a day. Are you obsessed with money?"

Jiang Chen said: "People are poor but have short ambitions. It's free to eat, drink and smoke. You see, I recently renovated a house and I can't even afford to spend money."

Yang Weimin opened the drawer, took out a piece of Huazi and threw it over: "Take it, take it, treat it as my personal reward for you, and stop being called poor here."

Jiang Chen reached out and took it without politeness: "Do you have a bag? I'll put it in it. If I take it out like this, it will probably be divided up before I get off work."

Yang Weimin glared: "No, think of a way yourself."

Tao Yuan said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about training tribesmen."

"Thinking about the delay in putting thousands of people into production, I feel very worried. This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible." Jiang Chen nodded: "Since the training department is under the engineering department, we can only call it a training team. It can’t be called a ministry anymore.”

"Since the training group has been assigned to the engineering department, I will openly share my thoughts."

Then, Jiang Chen started to talk about his training ideas.

First, publicize the pilot training through radio stations and bulletin boards, letting workers know that some people were promoted to level five within a month, and many people were promoted to level 3-4.

Then open registration will begin, and all steel plant workers at level 3 and below can sign up for the training.

The number of applicants is limited to 1,000, and registration will end when the quota is exhausted.

During the registration period, the logistics department is responsible for preparing twelve training workshops.

Of course, it is not really necessary to build 12 workshops. You can divide one production vehicle into multiple workshops through isolation, as long as the training between each other is not greatly affected.

After the workers have completed the registration, one hundred people will form a group, and they will be assigned to various training specialists to start training according to the previous training method of Jiang Chen.

There are now a total of 12 training specialists, and the remaining two are prepared for people studying in the Ministry of Industry.

They asked for a hundred places, but considering its importance, each of these two people could train 50 people.

One month later, after this batch of training is completed, the next batch will be started.

When the training of workers below level three is almost complete, we will start to improve the training of older workers.

Regardless of technique, consciousness, or other aspects, veteran workers also need to master it.

However, it is not compulsory and it is up to them to decide whether to participate.

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Yang Weimin immediately made the decision: "Sure, let's do it."

"Lao Tao, Section Chief Wen and I will continue to assist you. I will be responsible for setting up the workshop, Lao Tao will be responsible for requesting the materials we lack from above, and Section Chief Wen will be responsible for coordinating workers such as publicity and registration. You will do a good job in training."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay! But I will let Luo Xue and Cao Jun follow up on the work of the training department."

Yang Weimin said: "Oh? Do you have any new plans?"

Jiang Chen smiled: "Yes, my plan is to think."

“Think about what else you can do to increase productivity.”

Yang Weimin heard this and said: "Improving productivity is nothing more than people, production technology and machines."

"Now the human problem has been basically solved through the establishment of a training system. As for the technical problem, there is also a complete set of new methods."

"The problem with this machine is not something we can solve. Most of our machine tools now come from Big Brother, and we can't change them."

He turned to Tao Yuan and said, "Speaking of machines, Old Tao, please arrange a meeting with the directors of each workshop to highlight the problems with the machine tools."

"On weekdays, I see some workers being a little rough when operating machine tools. I need to tell them to pay attention."

"In a month at most, a large number of new workers will be on the production line, which is the critical stage of officially increasing production capacity. By then, there will be no problems with machine tools."

"Big Brother's engineer officers are not that proactive. Once the machine breaks down, it's hard to ask them to come and take a rest. When they come, one or two of them will be extremely cranky, and their work efficiency is horribly low."

Jiang Chen said: "Big Brother's machine tool is broken, are their engineers coming to repair it?"

Yang Weimin nodded: "Yes, they are afraid that we have mastered the technology of producing machine tools and will not let us touch their machine tools at all."

"Even if their people come to repair, they won't let our people stay in the workshop and won't even look at them, for fear that we will steal their work."

"Oh, that's good!" Jiang Chen nodded.

Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan were a little surprised, what is good, what is so good about this.

The few of them discussed for a while, Jiang Chen got up and left, going to the Human Resources Department to find Wen Wan.

Yang Weimin said: "Lao Yang, you go talk to Lao Liu, I will arrange the workshop matters."

Tao Yuan sighed: "Okay, okay, I will be the bad guy."
