Chapter 69 He Tao's Diary
He Tao sat at the table, twisted the lamp beside him, took out a black leather notebook from his bag, turned to a new page. He took out a pen from his pocket, took off his cap, pondered for a moment, and picked up the pen to write.
“August 24, 1977, sunny
After the opening ceremony of the precision machine tool factory and the precision equipment factory, Mr. Fan and Professor Zhao stayed and did not leave immediately.
Guan Fei has personally recognized that a large number of parts customized in China, which is used to assemble components production lines. He Tao wrote here, took out a small notebook from his close pocket, opened it, and copied it according to the content recorded on it, "There are six resistor production lines, namely ordinary carbon film resistors for high-power equipment, fine-tuned ultra-high frequency organic solid core resistors, multi-turn high-resistance inorganic solid core resistors, and high-precision chemical deposition film resistors, high-voltage glass glaze film resistors for function control, and special-purpose wire-wound resistor production lines..."
He Tao didn't understand any of these terms, and he found out from Professor Zhao, but he still recorded them all very carefully and copied them one by one in his diary.
It is naturally impossible for component production lines to have only resistors, and it also includes a series of electronic components such as capacitors, potentiometers, inductors, semiconductor separation components, light emitting diodes, etc. Under each category, there are fewer or more than a dozen types of fine categories.
According to Guan Fei himself, his next step is to build a large component production group composed of a general factory and multiple small factories, which is specifically responsible for providing qualified electronic components to other mechanical and electrical companies to meet their needs. It is no wonder that he customized such large batches of components to China.
He Tao had very limited understanding of this aspect. After copying it, he compared it again and confirmed that it was correct. Then he put away his notebook and continued to write a diary.
"This time Guan Fei did not provide a complete production line drawing, and only some peripheral parts process drawings were obtained in China. For the finished sub-vibrator products used to eliminate internal stress of workpieces, he provided several samples, but only mentioned the supply of finished products in sufficient quantity, without mentioning the transfer of technology.
Fortunately, he did not forbid us to watch, so Professor Zhao and Gong Fan suggested staying here for a while and learning as much as possible about the relevant technologies and actual working performance.
The two factories that were officially opened this time left a very deep impression on me during on-site observation.
I don’t know much about the technical content, but from the most direct view, it is very large: the factory is tall and large. In order to build a large-span factory, Guan Fei ordered large-span steel beams from China at a high cost to support the roof of the factory.
Another impression is that it is extremely modern.
A large number of automation equipment is used in the factory. According to Fan Gong, such high-quality factory buildings are of great help to reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve labor productivity. Their modernization level is almost comparable to that of leading European and American enterprises.
I don't understand this.
But I can see that the internal environment of the factory is extremely clean, the ground is very flat, and it is painted with a light yellow tone. Fan Gong said that this is a self-leveling ground made of epoxy resin, which can ensure the absolute flatness of the ground and meet the measurement needs of high-precision machine tools and equipment. At the same time, this kind of ground has less dust and is anti-static, and is a very high-end ground. Only high-end electronic companies and precision manufacturing companies will do this abroad.
Well, even the ground is made of high-end goods!
I can only say that Guan Fei is too rich and too willing to spend money. I will definitely not be willing to spend such a big price to repair a floor in China.
I noticed that the factory adopts a fully enclosed design and cannot find a window for natural sunlight to enter the house. Outside the factory, there is also a circular corridor that tightly surrounds the factory. Workers must change the work clothes in the factory in the circular corridor before entering. This is said to be of particular importance, in order to avoid external pollution as much as possible, and to effectively reduce the impact of external hot and cold air flow and water vapor on precision machine tools.
I feel that Guan Fei's attention to the subtleties has reached a pathological level. It is unimaginable that the little bit of cold and cold changes, the water vapor entrained in the air, can have a big impact on the steel-made machine tools, and also have to be equipped with a special central air conditioner and moisture adjustment machine in the factory.
Moreover, because the factory is sealed, there are too many lighting equipment on the top.
If all the lighting equipment is turned on, the bright light will illuminate the entire factory as bright as the sun, and even a hair on the ground can be seen. In order to help the machine tool operator see the local details of the processing parts, the machine tool is also equipped with a high-brightness fluorescent lamp to assist in lighting.
Fan Gong said that the lighting brightness in the factory has reached at least 500!
How much electricity does this waste!
In order to open the new factory, Guan Fei not only transformed some ordinary 616 machine tools into CNC lathes, but also imported a batch of machine tool manufacturing equipment from China.
Considering the help of the previous technologies to the country, I bought some more advanced equipment in China. Although these equipment cannot be considered high-precision and ultra-high-precision in China, it is also a precision manufacturing machine tool, which is roughly at the same level as the modified CNC lathes, with an average accuracy of between 20 and 30 microns.
Of course, China also made huge profits from this comparison transaction. The price of these precision equipment is much higher than that of ordinary lathes, each selling price is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. More than twenty precision lathes have received 7 million yuan in payments in China!
However, I actually found that Guan Fei and the others took apart these precision equipment in the factory, and then removed them and then re-mixed them!
This is simply a waste of resources!
Such expensive things have always been carefully maintained in China, for fear of being touched by rubbing. Once any component is disassembled and reinstalled, it will inevitably have very subtle misalignment and the accuracy will immediately drop significantly.
Guan Fei and others actually took them apart. I don’t know if they should say that they are ignorant and fearless!
I really don’t understand much about technology. The above parts are mainly some of the situations observed by Professor Zhao and Fan Gong, plus some facts I have seen, and the summary made. Personally, I am more concerned about the organizational structure of the factory.
In terms of architecture, these two factories have factory departments, party committee secretaries, trade unions, women's federations and other organizations, which seems to be no different from those in China.
But after a deeper understanding, I feel that they are very different from domestic companies.
In these two factories, the factory manager is responsible for the system, that is, the factory manager manages technology, production, and sales. He has the final say in everything in the factory.
The Party Secretary plays the role of supervisor in the factory. He is not responsible for the management of specific enterprises and is in charge of party building and ideological propaganda. Trade unions, women's federations and other institutions are also directly under the management of the factory party committee, and the factory director has no right to intervene. The trade union, women's federation, party building and propaganda department led by the Party Committee has established a state-owned enterprise asset management committee above the factory department, which is responsible for evaluating the work of factory directors and other management cadres.
I once asked Guan Fei curiously what the purpose of this setting was.
Guan Fei replied that this is a reference to the management of Western enterprises. The State-owned Assets Management Committee is similar to the board of directors of Western enterprises. The party committee secretary cannot directly manage the enterprise, and the promotion and appointment of management cadres is also nominated by the factory director, but the party committee has the right to review it. If the review is not passed, the appointment will be invalid. This is an imitation of the division of responsibility between the political chief of the army and the military chief of the army.
The Party Committee, trade union, women's federation and other supervisory departments have nothing to do with the enterprise and belong to the vertical management of the Party Committee system. The wages are allocated by the superior Party Committee, which ensures the independence of these departments. They will stick to their own responsibilities and stand on the side of the interests of the working class and working women, thus maintaining the orthodox and class nature of the Party.
I have to say that this is a very novel architecture.
The factory department is only focused on organizing enterprise production, technological innovation, and product sales, while the party organization is separated from the enterprise operation and is only responsible for ideological management. The two do not interfere with each other and influence each other, which seems very good. However, this system still needs time to test and see whether they can achieve the expected results in long-term practice.
The machine tool factory and equipment factory have been put into use, and the factory building is very modern. There are also many equipment placed inside, but there are too few workers.
In the large factory, only a dozen people are busy. Compared with the rows of dozens of machine tools and equipment around them, it seems even more empty.
This is what is often said in China that even if you have money, you can’t buy a complete factory. The real meaning is.
Guan Fei can build a beautiful modern factory by spreading money, relying on transformation and purchasing, and has advanced equipment, but he cannot buy skilled technicians and workers!
Without these, no matter how good the factory equipment is, it can only be covered with dust!
However, this was a good opportunity for us. I went to Guan Fei and asked to help them solve the shortcomings of technicians and workers, and he agreed readily.
According to his requirements, about 500 technicians and skilled workers can be transferred in China. He specifically asked that a small part of them would be old workers who were about to retire or just retired. Although these old workers could no longer bear high-intensity work, they were experienced and could lead the new to cultivate more high-quality talents for the company.
This is what we are happy to see.
It can be foreseen that these two factories will inevitably be an important part of Guan Fei's future ambition. All important core equipment will be manufactured in these two factories. Only those less important peripheral equipment will be processed on China.
Our workers can learn the manufacturing requirements and process technology of the most core components of the entire equipment in practice, and at the same time, they can fully grasp all the technical points of a device from manufacturing to completion in the assembly process, which is of great value to improve the technology based on this in China.
In addition to this, Guan Fei made another new request.
The assembly line of components is completed, and trial production will be carried out after the components factory and each branch is completed. Now Guan Fei has only a small number of junior workers and more than 10,000 educated youth who are still studying in junior high schools. These are talent reserves, but they are still a long time away from use.
Therefore, he also proposed to hire a large number of retired personnel from domestic electronics companies and a small number of on-the-job technicians to assist them in early production. After that, his talents gradually entered the job and then gradually withdrew.
Professor Zhao strongly supports this requirement. He really wants to observe the operation of this new production line by personally participating, understand its production efficiency, whether the product quality is better, and then decide whether to copy a large number of domestic products and promote it comprehensively..."
He Tao wrote this and put down his pen.
He looked at the quiet night outside the window and fell into deep thought.
Just before February this year, he knew nothing about Guan Fei and the 291st Brigade, which suddenly obtained the number. At that time, he was only concerned about the People's Party headquarters, the People's Army's senior management, Guan Fei, the small company commander, who had never taken it seriously.
The Battle at the Bridgehead made him know a little about this name, but he only knew a little about it, and he still didn't pay much attention to it.
When Guan Fei took Zhang Shengguo to ask for food and said he wanted to save his life, he felt abrupt and shocked. At that time, he gave more than a dozen tons of food, but in fact he was not very optimistic about him. It was entirely because this was a team of educated youth, who gave a little help within the scope of his authority, based on the sympathy of the Chinese people.
In his opinion, the intersection between the two sides has ended here, and he cannot help this small team again and again. If they come to ask for help again next time, he will persuade them to return to the country, give up those unrealistic fantasies of global liberation, and work and produce steadily at home.
But since then, the words Guan Fei and the 291st Brigade have repeatedly entered his ears, and the frequency has become higher and higher.
Unconsciously, the 58104 unit he led also changed from a special unit that supports the People's Party to a counterpart unit that is directly connected to the 291st Brigade. Today, it has changed from a temporary organization to a formally established permanent unit.
With the technologies that Guan Fei has come up with, the domestic attention has been paid to Guan Fei more and more. The various requirements put forward by Guan Fei have also changed from the initial need to be repeatedly considered and reviewed to actively asking whether he needs help.
The personnel exchanges between the two sides are getting closer and closer, and the exchanges are getting deeper and deeper.
Until now, Guan Fei's dependence on the country is still greater than the domestic demand for the 291st Brigade. However, this relationship is also quietly changing as Guan Fei's strength gradually grows, and its weight is getting heavier.
