Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 78 The Difficult Malotov

A week goes by in a blink of an eye.

On Friday, Jiang Chen went to the Ministry of Industry to conduct an assessment for promotion.

For the level assessment of technical personnel, in addition to the theoretical knowledge point examination, after being promoted to level 13 or above technical personnel, there will also be basic practical examinations such as mechanical maintenance and operation.

But most of them are relatively basic operations.

But regardless of theory or practice, Jiang Chen, who has the space to create dreams, is far ahead of this era of lack of knowledge and information.

This is no different than cheating.

Jiang Chen even took the time to learn some Russian while taking the exam.

Although it takes a relatively short time to get to the elegant hall, basic communication is still possible.

Jiang Chen handled the Friday assessment very easily.

After completing four exams in the afternoon, he had become a level 10 technician with a monthly salary of 86.5 yuan.

It's only one step away from becoming a ninth-level engineer with a salary of over 100.

But for Jiang Chen, it is not easy to advance through the normal process.

The length of service alone is an insurmountable obstacle.

His idea is to achieve promotion through contribution.

For example, this time, with the training system and operating techniques, he was promoted to 4 levels at once.

Although it is unlikely that there will be such a large improvement as the level increases later, as long as the technology can be continuously removed from the system and implemented, advancement is not difficult.

Along with the tenth-level technician certificate, Jiang Chen was given a huge contribution bonus of 1,000 yuan.

After Jiang Chen left, Qian Cheng said to Vice Minister Zhou: "Is this bonus amount too high?"

Vice Minister Zhou smiled and said: "Now, the country needs heroes, heroes who have made outstanding contributions in ordinary positions."

"Moreover, the simple, efficient and easy-to-use method is priceless. His contribution is also worthy of this reward."

Qian Cheng nodded: "That's true. I'm just worried that this reward mechanism with high bonuses will give some people the wrong idea of ​​working hard just for money."

"This Jiang Chen is the first person to ask us for the bonus.

Vice Minister Zhou said: "As long as they can make a contribution, what's the point of giving them a bonus? I hope more people like this will appear."

Next Monday, training officially begins.

The registration quota of 1,000 for the No. 3 Steel Plant has already been filled.

The Ministry of Industry also recruited more than 100 educated young people, all of whom were sent to the steel rolling mill to participate in training.

After this period of training, each training specialist has been able to conduct training independently, and Jiang Chen does not need to worry too much.

Under Jiang Chen's instructions, Luo Xue and Cao Jun divided more than 1100 people into twelve classes, with a training specialist in charge of each class.

Luo Xue, Cao Jun and others from the Engineering Department participated in assisting.

Coincidentally, Big Brother's engineer Comrade Malotov also came to the No. 3 Steel Plant at ten o'clock on Monday morning.

The factory also received a call early in the morning, saying that Malotov had just finished repairing machine tools in other factories, had just returned to Sijiu City, and would arrive at the No. 3 Steel Plant this morning.

Just as Jiang Chen arranged the training, he was called to the factory director's office.

Yang Weimin's expression was not good: "Xiao Jiang, Big Brother's engineer has just arrived."

Tao Yuan said: "The engineer who came is called Malotov. I found someone to get to know him. He is very skilled and has a lot of skills."

"But his shortcomings and strengths are equally prominent. He is a foodie, alcoholic, moody and very difficult to deal with."

"They all say that as long as he eats and drinks well, everything is easy to say. But if he doesn't eat and drink happily, then it's over. He will eat until he dies and loses his temper. You drive him away before you can. "

"In order to have a delicious meal, he disappeared for a whole week while providing technical support to a certain factory. In order to find him, the factory even sent out the local garrison and searched the area but couldn't find him."

"It turned out that he was lucky. He went to a nearby city to enjoy the delicious food and spent a week there drunk and dreaming."

Tao Yuan, who thinks rigorously, can be said to have two brushes. It seems that Malotov's technique is indeed good.

Yang Weimin snorted coldly: "I came here this morning. I can smell the smell of alcohol from hundreds of meters away. I can't even walk steadily."

"You said you had business so early in the morning and you drank like this. You didn't take us seriously at all."

Tao Yuan sneered: "As long as he has wine to drink, even if the sky falls, it doesn't matter to him. No. 3 Steel Factory doesn't matter."

It seems that these two people have quite big opinions on Malotov.

Jiang Chen said: "Everything has two sides. Since Malotov has such a distinct personality, it's not all bad."

"If we want to apply his technology, at least we have a much greater chance than those engineers who are not experienced in it."

Yang Weimin sighed: "That's what I say, but since He Daqing left, there are no better cooks in our factory."

"With just He Yuzhu and the others, I think there is a high probability that they will not be able to deal with this person." Jiang Chen scratched his head: "Well, can't we ask for support from our brother units?"

Tao Yuan nodded: "Yes, but the brother units in Sijiu City don't have any good cooks."

"There is one in the Ministry of Industry, but he was also seconded recently, so now we can only solve it on our own."

Yang Weimin sighed again: "In such a big city, we can't find a good cook for a while."

"Now we can only use our own cooks to try it out first, and at the same time, we are also trying to figure out whether we can second a high-level cook from somewhere, level five or above."

Tao Yuan said: "This is the only way."

The first meal Malotov came to was cooked by He Yuzhu.

As usual, factory director Yang Weimin and representative Tao Yuan accompanied them, and by the way they brought along Jiang Chen, who wanted to steal his apprenticeship.

The other parties were Malotov and his translator Yankovsky.

Because translators often need to communicate externally and connect tool manpower when experts are performing repairs, the translators around important experts are all Big Brother people.

Malotov looked forty years old, with a strong build, a round face, and fair skin.

Red rosacea is large and erect.

When Jiang Chen and others arrived, the man was leaning on a chair in the canteen with a contented look on his face, waiting expectantly for the meal.

Yang Weimin came forward to greet him enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Malotov, I am Yang Weimin, the director of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant."

Yankovsky immediately translated the words into Russian.

After just taking a nap in the canteen for more than an hour, Malotov sobered up a lot: "Hello, Mr. Factory Director."

Yang Weimin also introduced himself.

Jiang Chen introduced himself in fluent Russian: "Hello, my name is Jiang Chen, a level 10 technician at the steel rolling mill."

Yankovsky was stunned for a moment.

Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise: This little Jiang actually learned Russian.

Malotov's face showed a vigilant look: "Do you know Russian? There is actually this young level 10 technician in the flower garden."

"But we will not have technical exchanges with your factory, so you are not needed here."

As a technician, Jiang Chen is not the leader of the factory. When he appears here, he must be trying to gain technology from the exchange.

The technology related to machine tools is covered by confidentiality agreements and is strictly prohibited from being disclosed to any flower grower.

Therefore, Matolov was wary from the beginning.

Foreigners speak more directly.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Engineer, please don't think too much, I'm just here to drink with you."

Malotov nodded: "If you want to drink, you are welcome."

"By the way, you are all here. Let's start dinner quickly. I haven't even eaten breakfast yet."

Yankovsky translated the words to Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan.

Tao Yuan nodded: "Then let's ask Chef He to serve the food!"

Soon, He Yuzhu brought the dishes, which were his best ancestral Tan family dishes.

He had been busy all morning for these dishes, and even the big pots of food were cooked by his apprentices.

Finally, another bottle of Maotai and five wine glasses were placed on the table.

Jiang Chen opened the wine and filled a glass for everyone.

Yang Weimin raised his glass: "Welcome Mr. Malotov to come to our factory for technical support. I will have to work hard for you in the future."

After listening to the interpreter, Malotov raised his glass: "This is my responsibility."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, with a look of enjoyment on his face, and sincerely praised: "Good wine, I like this wine, it is as good a wine as vodka."

After saying that, Malotov couldn't wait to reach into the jar with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised beef brisket and put it into his mouth.

Then he frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied, and chatted a lot to the translator.

Yankovsky said: "Mr. Matolov thinks this dish is very average and not worthy of such a good wine."

He was a relatively polite translator.

Jiang Chen clearly heard a series of critical words such as "This is the worst dish I have ever eaten at the flower garden", "It's almost like feeding a pig", "This is a waste of good beef brisket", "This chef doesn't know how to cook at all", etc. .

After the translator finished speaking, Malotov put the wine on the table at his feet: "This dish is really not worthy of this wine."
