A talent that can be cultivated
"Man, you're pretty good!" Lin Zhenhua patted the little guy's shoulder and praised after the training was over.
Among all the workers in the factory, apart from Chen Jinfu, Yang Wenyong was the first to fully understand the three-view drawing. When Lin Zhenhua was explaining with his hands, he had already used a file to create a workpiece model, even the keyway on it was filed neatly, making people deeply feel a truth: A farmer who doesn't want to be a chef is not a good worker.
With the model of radish, Lin Zhenhua explained the three views again, and it was much easier. All the workers in the factory looked at the three views on the training materials, passed the radish around, and finally had an intuitive impression in their minds. By the time the radish returned to Lin Zhenhua's hands, it was covered with oil mud, looking black and dirty, and from a distance, it really looked like a piece of iron.
"Uncle Xiao, what I wanted to say at first is that when you were explaining the three views, it would be better if you used an existing part as an example." Yang Wenyong suggested.
Lin Zhenhua said with a sullen face, "Why didn't you say so earlier?" "I was afraid that if I said it, Uncle would be unhappy."
"I'm not that great either," Lin Zhenhua said to himself. He wasn't being humble because Yang Wenyong had challenged his authority, but because he suddenly realized how foolish he was - he hadn't even understood such a simple principle and instead needed a 15-year-old village kid to teach him. "Wenyong is really smart," Chen Jinfu chimed in from the side. "It's just that his family is poor and didn't get an education. If he could read some books, who knows, maybe he could even get into university." "Yes, how many talents are wasted like this?" Lin Zhenhua replied. "Director Lin, have you seen Wenyong's skills? What do you think?" Chen Jinfu asked with a meaningful tone. "Not bad at all," Lin Zhenhua casually responded without thinking much. "With his skills, if he polishes them for over a decade, he'll definitely become a high-level technician."
"Exactly!" Chen Jinfu slapped his thigh, "I was thinking the same thing. Director Lin, I have something to say, not sure if it's suitable or not."
Lin Zhenhua said: "Master Chen, you speak, you are a senior, even if you say something serious, I can accept it."
Chen Jinfu shook his head: "It's not what you think, I want to ask a favor of you, it might be a bit troublesome." "What is it?" "Have you handled the matter of Wen Yong going away?"
Lin Zhenhua didn't understand: "What's going on?"
Chen Jinfu said: "It's just taking him to the factory in the city to work. Wen Yong, this child is smart and has a good sense of hands-on skills, no matter what he learns, he can pick it up by looking at it once, his hands are also very dexterous. I've been with him for two years now, and he's already proficient in both lathe operation and milling, I think it would be a waste if he stayed in the agricultural machinery factory. The agricultural machinery factory doesn't have any good equipment either, usually just doing some repair work, can't even hone his skills. Besides, I'm just a worker myself, all the techniques I have are self-taught, don't want to see you Director Lin talk like that. Wen Yong staying with me, I'm afraid it would be a waste."
Lin Zhenhua hesitated for a moment, looked at Yang Wenyong and asked: "Wenyong, what do you think?"
Yang Wenyong said without hesitation: "As long as I can earn money and learn skills, I'm willing to." But you're only 15 years old. It's going to be tough for a person to go out and work on their own," Lin Zhenhua warned.
Yang Wenyong said: "I am not afraid of hardship."
Chen Jinfu helped to persuade: "Director Lin, rest assured on this point, Wen Yong is a rural child, and I can guarantee that he will not have any problems with hard work. However, what I am worried about is whether you can help him find a place. There are also many unemployed young people in the city now. Which unit would be willing to accept a rural child?"
Lin Zhenhua said: "That's not a problem, I have a company on my side, and I can say something about it. For someone like Yang Wenyong, arranging a job for him is no big deal." So, you agreed? Chen Jinfu was somewhat excited, apparently, he had been thinking about getting Yang Wenyong to do something for a long time. This time, he asked Lin Zhenhua for help, and he actually had a try-and-see attitude, but didn't expect Lin Zhenhua not to refuse outright.
"He was still a child, what did his parents think?" "My dad and mom hope I go out to do things," Yang Wenyong replied.
Chen Jinfu said: "His family has a heavy burden, if Wen Yong can go out to work, there will be one less person eating at home, and it will save a lot. If he earns a salary and still has some left over after eating, he can supplement his family's income, that would be even better."
The salary is not a problem, as long as you can work full-time, the minimum wage is 40 yuan, right?" Lin Zhenhua said.
"Is the salary really that high?" Chen Jinfu asked in surprise, looking like he wanted to follow Lin Zhenhua himself. "Little Lin, Wen Yong is at most just a temporary worker, does he really have a salary of 40 yuan?"
Lin Zhenhua said, "This should be guaranteed, on the premise of following labor discipline and not being lazy."
"I won't, I won't," Yang Wenyong hastily said, he begged Lin Zhenhua in a pleading tone: "Uncle Lin, just take me with you, I'll listen to everything you say. If I do anything wrong, you can beat me or scold me."
Lin Zhenhua also has a good impression of Yang Wenyong, after all, this young man is only 15 years old, and he is kind and has a clever mind. If given the opportunity, with proper training, who knows what achievements he might make in the future. Lin Zhenhua didn't particularly want to help someone just because they could be useful to him; rather, he felt that under his current circumstances, creating opportunities for those with potential was also a very pleasant thing.
You Jun is also very supportive of Lin Zhenhua's arrangement for Yang Wenyong. This time, Lin Zhenhua has left a very good impression on You Jun, who thinks that Lin Zhenhua seems to have changed and is no longer as immature as he was in the army. With Yang Wenyong following him out, he should not be at a disadvantage. You Jun takes care of his workers just like he used to take care of his soldiers, and will not oppose anyone who can give others some opportunities and work hard.
The training ended in a few days, and Lin Zhenhua also drew out the drawings of several products and handed them over to You Jun for safekeeping. With Chen Jinfu's attention, these products should be able to be manufactured, as for sales, it depends on whether You Xin has such skills, however, Lin Zhenhua also left a way out, if all else fails, he will personally come forward to help with the sales, which should have some effect.
The products designed by Lin Zhenhua for Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory are all high-value-added products with less material usage. This is different from his own production of electric fans, which make money mainly by quantity. If they can produce 2 million units a year, they will have hundreds of millions in revenue. However, such products are not suitable for Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory, as they cannot obtain such abundant raw materials from the material department.
What is involved here is actually some common sense in industrial layout theory. In places with resources, or near the sea, where transportation of goods is more convenient, it is suitable for developing resource-intensive industries. To achieve large-scale processing and assembly industries, it requires adding more value to less production materials.
Yonghe is not a convenient place for transportation, and due to policy restrictions, the right army cannot get too many raw materials. Therefore, the products designed by Lin Zhenhua for him are all of this kind of product that saves material and has high added value. This type of small machinery can be bought for several hundred yuan, with a cost of less than 20%.
The Yonghe Agricultural Machinery Factory has less than 30 employees, and the annual salary is just over 10,000 yuan. Adding 5,000 yuan in contract fees, as long as they can sell 30 units of this small machinery, they can break even. Any additional sales are the contractor's profit.
Everything has been arranged, and Lin Zhenhua also had to return to Jiangnan Province. Before leaving, he handed over to You Jun: "Squad leader, hurry up and take your wife to have surgery. Don't do the surgery in Yuefeng again, go to Tanzhou instead. I'll leave you some money, it should be enough."
The right-hand army nodded repeatedly: "Okay okay, I also plan to do so, the hospital in Tanzhou has better technology."
After handing over the right army, Lin Zhenhua secretly went to find Tian Xiaolan again, handed her 500 yuan and said: "Sister-in-law, I let the team leader take you to Changsha for surgery. After arriving in Changsha, you must take the team leader to the hospital to make a fake limb, choose the most expensive one, if there is not enough money, call me at the post office, I will send someone to deliver it to Changsha."
Tian Xiaolan took the money and said gratefully: "Xiao Lin, you've come again, borrowing money and helping You Jun contract a factory, how can we thank you enough?"
Lin Zhenhua said: "Sister, don't mention this now. I believe in Lao Zhang's ability, he will definitely make the agricultural machinery factory a success. By then, you can return my money."
There was another person to bid farewell, that is Mao Chou. Lin Zhenhua's crow mouth was very effective, and after Mao Chou had a big meal of braised pork, he indeed had indigestion, and the next day he had a high fever. After two days of injections, his fever had subsided, but he was still lying in bed unable to get up.
Lin Zhenhua came to Mao Chou's bedside and said, "Mao Chou, I'm going back now. Later you can go with your father and mother to Jiangnan to play with me, okay?"
"Good." The little wolf cub replied with a nod.
"Don't be so greedy when eating from now on, got it?"
"Got it"
"Do you still want to eat meat?" "Yes."
Lin Zhenhua patted him on the back and said: "Mao'er, don't worry, Uncle guarantees that you will definitely be able to live a life where you eat meat every day."
After finishing speaking, he stood up and said to You Jun who was standing beside him: "Squad leader, if the child is having a hard time at home before the agricultural machinery factory makes a profit, you must tell me if your family has difficulties. I'll immediately send money over, not for anything else, just so that Mao Zhu can eat meat every day."
"You can rest assured, Xiao Lin. I'll stake my life on it - I'll turn the agricultural machinery factory around and make it profitable. I'm a man too. I'll make sure Mao Chao and Ya Chao eat meat every day."
"Come on, I believe you can do it." Lin Zhenhua said.
"Young Lin, I somehow feel like I've heard this before."
Lin Zhenhua said: "Hmm, I think it sounds familiar. It seems like you often told us this when we were training back then."
You Jun Dao said with a laugh: "Haha, that's right! Come on, Xiao Lin, let's strive together. I believe that the heroes who come out of our Heroic Legion are not cowards."
