Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 949 Self-examination

The next morning, Chen Changan was in Uncle Nie's office. As soon as Chen Changan finished speaking, Uncle Nie slammed the table.

"Just him? If he has the guts, let him come to me. When I was carrying a gun and killing the enemy, he was still wearing open-crotch pants.

The problems at their subordinate factory were actually linked to the automobile factory. Just ignore him.

They have exported a lot of cloth and wool over the years, and most of the money for purchasing these equipment was paid by us.

With so much equipment lost, he thought that the matter would be over if he just punished the factory director?

He will be busy later on, so he won't have time to deal with you."

When Chen Changan returned to the residential area, he could still hear many people talking about the fire in the textile factory.

Many textile factory workers also moved into the factory staff quarters after marrying factory workers.

Many people are worried about the follow-up arrangements for the textile factory, as the situation now is different from previous years.

In order to take care of the educated youth who returned to their hometowns, the original one job was changed to two jobs per job.

The factory's workload didn't increase much, but the number of workers doubled.

Uncle Nie had mentioned the same thing to Chen Changan many times, but Chen Changan's solution was to stuff all the people into the subordinate machinery factory.

With such a big incident happening at the textile factory, it is impossible that the superiors would not say anything.

Sure enough, a few days later Chen Changan received two documents. The first one was that his superiors wanted to conduct safety inspections on fire prevention and firefighting in all major factories in the city, including surprise inspections.

Chen Changan curled his lips. How can you call it a surprise inspection when the document has been issued? Do you have to tell you the date and time to come so that it won't be considered a surprise inspection?

The second document was to invite Chen Changan to participate in the city's factory director-level meeting.

The content of the meeting was also very simple. It was just to discuss how to prevent fires and the summary of this textile factory fire.

The time of the inspection is uncertain, but what is certain is that I have to attend the meeting tomorrow.

A notice regarding the major overhaul of hygiene and fire safety at the automobile factory was issued as early as yesterday.

The main target of rectification is the dormitory building. The workshop is the target of strict supervision by leaders at all levels of the factory.

Whether it is the smoking area or the working area, the car factory has always been maintained very well.

This morning, Chen Changan heard the cleaners complaining that the trash cans in the dormitory building were too smelly.

Chen Changan had nothing to do sitting in the office, so he stood up and planned to go to each workshop to check the situation.

As Chen Changan walked through each workshop, he found that most of the workshops did a good job in terms of hygiene and fire prevention.

At this moment, Chen Changan saw a worker operating a lathe, but this lathe was wearing "clothes".

Then Chen Changan walked over, stood beside the worker and watched him process parts.

It can be seen that the worker's technical level is quite good, even though he uses a manual lathe.

But whether it is the maintenance of the machine tools or the proficiency of the movements, they are all very good.

Seeing Chen Changan standing beside him, a smile appeared on the other's somewhat old face.

"Director, is my technique acceptable?"

As he spoke, the worker revealed a hint of pride and complacency.

"Yes, you have worked in the factory for many years, right?"

"It's been exactly ten years. Back then, I was also a farmer living near the auto factory, and Director Hou was in charge of recruiting workers.

When I first joined the factory, I really knew nothing. It was all thanks to my master who taught me well. Now I am not bragging.

Whether it's a lathe, milling machine or grinder, I dare say there is no equipment that I can't operate.

Even for the CNC lathes in the CNC workshop, I taught myself a lot of simple programming.”

Chen Changan nodded. The CNC lathes that the worker was talking about were actually some of the most basic domestically produced CNC lathes.

It is just a two-axis CNC lathe that can process some shaft or disc products.

Ordinary workers cannot see the high-precision lathes or machining centers imported from abroad.

Despite the little pride in this worker's heart, Chen Changan thinks he is just like anyone else. However, such workers are also needed by the automobile factory, and Chen Changan will not look down on them.

"What do you mean by putting this cloth on the lathe? Can you tell me?"

When this was mentioned, the worker's eyes lit up and he suddenly became energetic.

There is a saying circulating in the automobile factory: There is no Director Chen who doesn’t understand the technology.

Today's operating standards and technical methods were first spread from Chen Changan. After all, they are all disciples of Director Chen.

How could he not be excited that Director Chen liked his method?

"Director, let me tell you, this is a method I invented myself.

Our factory operates in three shifts, and each shift only lasts eight hours, not including the time wasted on handover, eating, going to the toilet, smoking, etc.

Before changing shifts, at least ten minutes must be left to clean the machine tools and dump the garbage.

After all the miscellaneous calculations, it would be good if I could actually work for seven hours.

We all saw how good the factory was to us, and we wanted to produce more parts for them.

So I covered the machine tool, which will be much more convenient when I clean up before getting off work.

Just wrap it with a piece of cloth and it's done. It's convenient and quick, and can save at least ten minutes.

Don’t underestimate these ten minutes. Take the parts I produce for example. I can make seven or eight parts in ten minutes.

Just think about it, how many more parts will we have to make in a year?"

Chen Changan smiled and nodded and said.

“It’s a good idea and worth encouraging. But this method has a fatal flaw.

Since it is a three-shift system, people rest but machines don't.

When you are hot, you know to turn on the air. When the machine is hot, it can dissipate the heat, but you give it a cover like this.

Once the machine overheats and catches fire, your cover will be the culprit. Moreover, the machine was originally made of iron, but now it has been made of cloth. Wouldn't it burn faster?

Losing a machine is a small matter, but if someone is injured, the loss will be huge.

There are not many experienced workers like you in the factory who are familiar with all the equipment. Each of you is a treasure in the factory.

If something really happens, I really don’t know how to face you.”

After listening to Chen Changan's words, the worker nodded, indicating that he agreed with Chen Changan.

I am indeed the pillar of the family. If I can't work anymore, my whole family will be left to starve.

Then the worker thought of something, walked to the side, picked up a fire extinguisher, and said to Chen Changan.

"Director, you don't have to worry about my safety. I know everything about fire fighting in the workshop.

You see, I have already pulled out the safety pin on the fire extinguisher in advance to make it easier to put out the fire. This is so that if a fire breaks out, I can put it out quickly."
