Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Inside the factory director's office.

Faced with Factory Director Yang's request, Wang Weidong smiled lightly and said: "Director, please don't worry, I have asked Jianggong and the masters of the Machinery Factory to start research on semi-automatic assembly lines.

Maybe it will be successfully developed in half a month.

When introduced, production efficiency will be greatly improved!”

As the head of the steel rolling mill, Director Yang naturally knows what the assembly line means.

An assembly line divides repetitive work into several serial single work parts.

In this way, the production unit can focus on a certain segment of work to improve work efficiency and output.

When people think of the assembly line, the first thing that comes to mind is Henry Ford.

He developed the world's first automobile assembly line, which brought the Ford Model T into thousands of households.

In fact, ancient China already had the prototype of the assembly line.

In the Han Dynasty, lacquerware craftsmen had divided lacquerware production into several steps, thus greatly improving production efficiency.

When I heard that Wang Weidong was planning to launch a semi-automatic production line, I couldn't help but sigh, it's still young people who have the brains.

"Now the ministries and commissions are promoting large-scale production, and the semi-automatic production line fits this theme very well. You must do it well!"

Having said this, Director Yang paused and his expression suddenly became serious: "Did anything happen in the courtyard recently?"

"What happened? Nothing?" Wang Weidong was surprised.

"No? According to Section Chief Li's report, your home has been raided twice by the police in the past two days!" Factory Director Yang said with a straight face and an angry tone: "Why don't you report such a serious matter to the factory?"

Does this private matter have anything to do with the steel rolling mill?

Wang Weidong was stunned for a moment and then understood.

In this era, society was dominated by workers, peasants and soldiers. Workers came first. Girls married workers first.

The Public Security Bureau, including the Environmental Protection Bureau, which was particularly popular in later generations, were all unpopular, and young people were unwilling to take a second look.

In the final analysis, the factory is the real home of the workers, not just a place to work.

Likewise, factories have great power.

Workers' personal affairs and even marriages are closely related to the factory.

"I didn't think that the frame-up had been discovered by Han, so I didn't bother you." Wang Weidong sneered.

"You are still too young to realize the life-and-death struggle behind you!" Director Yang stood up excitedly, pacing in the office with his hands behind his back, "I am certain that Xu Damao seduced his parents to frame you.

It must be Deputy Director Li who is behind this."

"Deputy Director Li's ultimate goal is to disrupt the production activities of Workshop 11 and oust me!"

Seeing that Wang Weidong was almost completely unwary of the brutal struggle, Director Yang had to speak clearly.

"So that's it. Don't worry, I won't let them succeed." Wang Weidong looked like he suddenly realized.

After he finished speaking, he did not forget to raise his fist: "After experiencing this lesson, I will definitely be more vigilant in the future!"

Seeing Wang Weidong's sincere statement, Director Yang smiled and nodded: "Weidong, the steel rolling mill is your backer. We don't bully others, but we can't let others bully us!"

"After research by the factory, it was decided to deduct half a month's salary from Xu Damao and suspend his duties as a projectionist."

"Thank you, director!" Wang Weidong bowed to Director Yang with a serious face.

The fact that such a severe punishment decision was passed by the factory committee shows that Lao Yang is still firmly in control of the situation.

this is a good news.

After all, Workshop 11 is still in its infancy and needs the protection of the big tree like Factory Manager Yang.

After coming out of the factory director's office, Wang Weidong was about to return to Workshop 11 when he suddenly remembered that Lou Xiao'e had asked him to go to the infirmary to buy some medicine, so he changed direction and walked towards the infirmary.

It's working hours now, and most of the people who come to see the doctor are workers' families, and there aren't many people queuing up.

Glancing inside through the glass window, I was shocked to find that there was only one doctor, Ding Qiunan, today.

Wang Weidong hesitated immediately.

He and Ding Qiunan have not met each other since the last time they broke up on bad terms.

It's a little awkward to see her now.

Just thinking of Lou Xiao'e's instructions, Wang Weidong took a deep breath and joined the team.

In the infirmary.

Ding Qiunan had just finished giving a patient a butt injection. While cleaning the needle with an alcohol cotton ball, he shouted outside: "Next one!"

With a creak, Wang Weidong opened the door and walked in, standing right behind Ding Qiunan.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Ding Qiunan asked with his back to Wang Weidong.

"I would like to prescribe some ointment to reduce swelling." Wang Weidong answered honestly.

The voice sounded familiar to Ding Qiunan. After putting down the syringe in his hand, he turned around and saw Wang Weidong's big and honest face.

Her body suddenly stiffened, and it took a while before she recovered, and she said calmly: "Wait a moment."

There were not many anti-inflammatory drugs in the infirmary. Ding Qiunan hesitated, then took a spoonful from a glass bottle, stuffed it into a small medicine bottle, and took a bunch of kapok swabs along the way.

"Apply heavy oil to the red and swollen areas three times a day."

"What kind of medicine is big oil? Is it useful?" Wang Weidong looked at the milky white oil in the medicine bottle and asked doubtfully.

Ding Qiunan explained with a straight face: "Big oil is penicillin oil. If you don't want to use it, I can prescribe some earthwork ointment."

"Yes, why don't you want it? How much does it cost?" Wang Weidong quickly put the medicine bottle into his pocket.

Just kidding, this is penicillin. Although it is no longer a war era, penicillin is still quite scarce.

Doctors are generally reluctant to use it only in serious infections.

"Just give me thirty cents." Ding Qiunan said with a cold face.

Wang Weidong sighed in his heart, put down the money, said thank you, turned and left.

Ding Qiunan looked at Wang Weidong's retreating figure, feeling confused in his heart.

The news that Wang Weidong and Lou Xiao'e had already testified spread throughout the steel rolling mill.

Ding Qiunan thought that when she saw Wang Weidong again, she would be able to deal with it calmly.

Only now did she realize that she had overestimated herself. There was a void in her heart that could not be filled.

If we miss it, will we never be able to be together?

Ding Qiunan stood there in a daze, like a statue, until he heard the next patient's cry and came to life.

....

On the other side, Wang Weidong returned to the workshop with the ointment and found Lou Xiaoe in the office.

While handing the ointment to Lou Xiao'e, he said, "Do you want my help?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed with embarrassment and rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Go and do your business!"

"Okay!"

Wang Weidong also felt a little embarrassed to help the girl apply that area, so he left in a hurry.

Go to the laboratory to check the research progress of Jiang Gong and Tong Zhi.

It is not difficult to make semi-automatic assembly line production equipment. Jiang Gong, a second-hand scientist, has been exposed to similar equipment, and Tong Zhi and Dazhuang are both experienced workers.

In just over half a day, the drawings were finalized, and the next step was to have the machinery processing shop customize the equipment.

Once the equipment is manufactured, production can be expanded.

At that time, the workshop will need more temporary workers.

As for the salary method, Wang Weidong decided to continue to implement the piece rate method.

After all, this is just a job with very low technical content, and it is definitely not possible to have the same treatment as formal workers.

Otherwise, other workers may cause trouble.

The whole morning was spent in busyness.

After finishing lunch, Wang Weidong was about to hug his wife for a while when he heard Yu Changsheng's voice from outside.

In desperation, Wang Weidong could only get up from the camp bed.

While putting on his coat, he walked outside.

As soon as he saw Yu Changsheng, this guy stepped forward, grabbed Wang Weidong, and dragged him out.

As he walked, he said: "Brother Wei Dong, a few drivers have come to the team to apply for jobs. Brother Niu asked me to ask you to come over and check them together."

Wang Weidong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you guys take a break at noon?"

Yu Changsheng said without looking back: "I would like to rest, but the tasks are a bit heavy recently, and I only have time at noon. Brother Niu can't make up his mind on his own, so please help me!"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and finish it. I can still take a nap when I get back!"

The two of them jogged all the way to the team lounge. There was already a long line of young men outside.

This is normal. The profession of driver is very popular nowadays.

If there was a formal establishment, matchmakers from all over the country would rush to come to arrange marriage.

Wang Weidong and Shouhou entered the lounge through the back door.

Other people in the convoy were busy moving tables and setting up stools.

Niu Zhijun saw Wang Weidong coming in and immediately waved to him.

"You're finally here. This is my first time recruiting people, so I'm not sure.

Recruiting people was originally the job of the Human Resources Department, but Section Chief Jiao went to study.

And considering the special nature of the driver's position, Director Yang asked our team to take responsibility for it ourselves.

You have hired temporary workers before and your driving skills are excellent, so you have to help me check this matter."

The temporary workers in Workshop 11 were recruited with the help of the director of the subdistrict office.

As long as you have hands and feet, you don’t need to consider professional skills at all.

But truck drivers are different.

Wang Weidong was about to say that he had never done anything before, but out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally glanced at the interview team. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, we have to start training from scratch anyway. We just need to focus on character and culture."

In this era, there were no driving schools. The only way to become a truck driver was to join a team and then get in the truck directly for driving training.

Niu Zhijun smiled and said: "I think so too, let's start?"
