At the entrance of the waste processing center, Xu Chuan and Xu Hou stared at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.
No one expected that the other party would appear here.
On the side, Liao Cheng, the director of the lithium-sulfur battery factory who was following him, was stunned for a while, and was also a little surprised. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you know each other?"
Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, saying: "I grew up in the same village, and I didn't expect to meet him here."
Hearing this, Factory Manager Liao was stunned again. He couldn't help but look up and down at the somewhat "strong" Xu Hou standing opposite, feeling surprised.
He also didn't expect that there would be Academician Xu's hair-making partner in his factory.
Although it is said that the workers they are recruiting for the lithium-sulfur battery factory they are building in Baling are definitely local-oriented, but this probability is really too small, right?
After all, Baling is located almost at the central border point of Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei, and these three provinces have always been major exporters of labor to the outside world.
If there was an opportunity to work closer to home and with better benefits, I would definitely be overwhelmed.
The development of Yunxi Industrial Park in the past two years is undoubtedly in line with the ideal place for the labor force in these three provinces.
The probability that the three provinces with more than 160 million people could meet Academician Xu in a factory is indeed a bit too small.
As for the boy named Xu Hou, judging from the uniform he is wearing, he is not a security guard, but a technician/engineer or operator type at the centralized waste processing center. He should be responsible for daily operations and maintenance of equipment systems and execution of production.
Task-type positions.
Of course, these things are irrelevant. He will find out later when he goes back and checks.
The important thing is that he is actually the disciple of Academician Xu Chuan, which is very crucial.
There was a twinkle in his eyes, and many thoughts came to Liaocheng's mind for a moment.
Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to the little thoughts of Director Liao.
Just as Liao Cheng was thinking in his mind, even if he met today, it wouldn't matter whether he said it or not.
As long as he shows his familiarity with Xu Hou, Director Liao will definitely inquire about their relationship.
There is a high probability that the young man will be promoted later for his sake, without him even having to say hello. This is human nature.
Glancing at the centralized waste processing center in front of him, Xu Chuan asked curiously: "You work here now?"
Xu Hou nodded with a smile, touched his head and said, "I studied environmental engineering technology in a vocational college."
"I have always worked at the garbage disposal station in Star City. Last year, I found that there was a job recruitment here in my hometown. The position was suitable and the salary was quite high. Plus, it was close to home, so I submitted my resume, and then I applied for this job.
Equipment engineer at the side.”
While chatting, he took out a pack of King Furong from his pocket, gave one to Xu Chuan, and gave two to Zheng Hai and Liaocheng who were standing aside.
He had never met the factory director here, and naturally he didn't know Liaocheng. Seeing him wearing a suit and following Xu Chuan, he thought he was with the boy, so he didn't pay much attention.
Standing there and watching his employees scatter cigarettes for him, Liao Cheng looked dumbfounded. He didn't smoke, but he still accepted the Furong King honestly.
On the side, Xu Chuan took the Lotus King and held it in his hand. He looked at his little boy with a strange expression and said, "Have you not seen your factory director?"
"Director? I haven't seen him before."
Xu Hou shook his head and said: "I heard that BYD invested 15 billion in this factory. Who can be the director of a 15 billion large factory like me?"
After a slight pause, he shrugged, took out his lighter, and approached Xu Chuan to light a cigarette for him.
After letting him light the cigarette, Xu Chuan smiled slightly and said, "The one in front of you is Director Liao Cheng of this lithium-sulfur battery factory."
"What the hell?"
Hearing this, Xu Hou was frightened. When his hand shook, the fire from the lighter immediately disappeared.
He looked at Xu Chuan with a confused look on his face, and then at the middle-aged man who was lighting up a cigarette just now, with his head half lowered to block the wind with his hands. He was wearing a neat and expensive-looking suit.
Everyone was stunned.
"Factory...director?"
Unable to help but swallow, Xu Hou looked at Xu Chuan and asked, "Isn't this the secretary assistant who works with you?"
Xu Chuan smiled, shook his head and said, "That's not him. He is the director of this lithium-sulfur battery production factory, and he is worthy of his name."
"It's over, I was tricked by you."
Xu Hou shivered subconsciously, and couldn't help but glance at Liao Cheng, feeling completely embarrassed.
He knew that this boy was a great scientist, a very powerful one, so he thought that the people here were from Xu Chuan, that they were his assistant secretary or driver, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
As a result, Xu Chuan told him that this was the director of their BYD factory?
What has he done?
Damn it!
Even if you get caught fishing in front of your immediate boss, you don’t even know your immediate boss.
Damn it, can I still keep this job? Isn’t it possible that I will be put in the shoes of others in the future?
He had offended the director of the recycling station at the garbage treatment plant before and was forced to resign voluntarily.
This will offend his immediate boss like the factory director, and I'm afraid he may not be able to survive in the future.
On the side, Liao Cheng smiled kindly and said, "Comrade Xu Hou is a good employee. Although he is not from the security department, he still maintains the safety work in the factory at all times."
"The lithium-sulfur batteries produced by our factory are the world's top technology, and many outsiders want to come in and steal the technology."
"You treat the company as your own home and maintain it. You are very good, very good and very motivated!"
After hearing the surprising words and seeing the indifferent smile on Xu Chuan's face, Xu Hou more or less came to his senses.
Judging from the previous situation, he might be a lot more awesome than he thought.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The director of this 15 billion large factory seems to be just a junior brother in front of him?
You can't blame him for not thinking too much.
After all, in the traditional impression, no matter how powerful a scientist is, he still conducts research for large companies.
Although I know that Xu Chuan is very powerful now, and I often see him on TV and in the news, he still lacks some specific concepts about these things at a low level.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Just in time, we are going to go into this waste processing center to have a look. Brother Hou can help explain the operation?"
"Is this...appropriate?"
Xu Hou hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xu Chuan, then at Liao Cheng, and said hesitantly: "I'm still at work, I just came out to use the toilet..."
"It's appropriate, why isn't it appropriate?"
Liao Cheng said with a smile on his face: "Our grassroots comrades must have a better understanding of the operation of various equipment than I do. Excuse me, Comrade Xu Hou, please show us around."
Hearing this, Xu Hou breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."
...
Compared with the previous work in the assembly line production workshop, I will look more carefully at Xuchuan, the centralized waste processing center, and ask more detailed questions.
BYD has indeed followed his requirements to make the production of lithium-sulfur batteries harmless.
Its wastewater, waste materials, debris and other garbage have special treatment methods and equipment.
For example, heavy metal wastewater treatment is recycled in professional equipment through various chemical and physical means such as chemical precipitation, ion exchange, electrochemical methods, and membrane separation.
After recovering various heavy metal ions, dissolved salts and other valuable recyclates in the wastewater, they are then fully purified and then re-entered into production.
Basically achieving zero emissions.
As for those waste materials that take longer to process, they are processed by professional equipment and are not harmful to the environment after multiple random inspections before being discharged or sent to professional recycling plants for mineralization or crystallization.
After spending more than an hour wandering around the waste processing center and settling his worries, Xu Chuan finally felt relieved.
Of course, in the future, he will also find a professional waste treatment assessment company and a team to conduct a digital assessment here to ensure that every indicator is true and there are no problems.
...
After checking the centralized waste processing center, it was almost evening.
After checking the time, Xu Chuan found a restaurant near Yunxi Industrial Park and sent a message to Fa Xiao.
After waiting for a while, Xu Hou, who had changed into a down jacket, also rushed over.
"Brother Hou, this~."
Xu Chuan smiled and shouted, "I haven't seen him for almost two or three years, but we happened to meet him today and we got together."
The two of them ordered four dishes. Xu Hou glanced at Zheng Hai who was standing outside and asked, "Why don't your driver call us to come in and eat some together?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "No, they have their own things to do. Let us just have a drink."
"Okay!" Xu Hou nodded, opened a bottle of beer with a screwdriver, and handed it to Xu Chuan first.
After the two drank a little and talked about old times to warm up the atmosphere, Xu Hou looked at Xu Chuan with some curiosity and said: "Is your academician title so awesome? Why do I feel that Director Liao is in front of you?
Are they all submissive?"
He didn't know what it was like to be the director of a 15 billion factory, but he could definitely get out of this hard-to-find job with just one sentence.
But looking at the fawning look that Director Liao had in front of his little boy, this brother was even more awesome than he thought.
Of course, it is also possible that the title of academician is awesome.
He didn't know exactly what level of scientist the academician was, but he was definitely more powerful than he imagined.
Sometimes people cannot imagine things they have never encountered before, nor can they understand a class that does not belong to them.
Just like a farmer imagining the emperor's golden hoe.
Xu Chuan smiled, touched Xu Hou with a beer bottle, and said: "Maybe it's not the title of academician that's awesome, but the lithium-sulfur battery technology produced by this lithium-sulfur battery manufacturer, which was developed by me.
.”
"To be honest, I still own half of the shares in this factory."
There are many technology licensees for lithium-sulfur batteries, and he can take 50% of each company's technology license. It is not a big problem to have half of the shares.
Xu Hou: "....????"
Hearing this, he opened his mouth and spit out a breath of alcohol, with a look of surprise on his face: "What the hell? Do you own half of this 15 billion factory?"
He didn't understand R&D technology, but he understood that the shares accounted for half.
Of the 15 billion super factory, he actually accounts for half of it?
This is too rich, isn’t it?!
After taking a sip of beer, his eyes fell on the noisy workers in the restaurant who were talking loudly while drinking beer. Xu Chuan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You can put it this way, but I didn't invest money, what I invested was technology.
, half of which is profit sharing.”
"Awesome!"
Xu Hou gave a thumbs up and sighed: "Half of the profit sharing, this must be at least several hundred million every year, right? Damn it! You have to pay for this meal tonight, I am poor!"
Xu Chuan smiled and said nonchalantly: "What about you? Speaking of which, how do you feel about changing jobs and returning to your hometown? How is your sister-in-law doing? My niece should also be in school, right?"
When talking about himself, Xu Hou sighed, but with a smile on his face, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, took a puff and said with narrowed eyes.
"I'm definitely not as good as you, but life is indeed much easier than before."
"I moved here from a waste treatment plant in Star City two years ago, and my salary has increased a lot."
"I used to get six or seven thousand a month in Star City, but now I can get as much as ten thousand, sixty or seven thousand a month. Plus the provident fund and so on, I don't have any pressure to pay off the mortgage and so on, and I can save some money."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As for Dandan, she also found a job in a nearby factory. Although her income is a little less than mine, she still has a million dollars."
"Together, the two of us will be able to pay off the mortgage in about four to five years with the money we have saved."
"I'll get a car then. I can take her out for a walk and travel during the annual vacation. I heard that she always wants to go to Dali to see the sea."
Maybe it was because he drank, or maybe he really thought so in his heart. When talking about his life, Xu Hou talked a lot more.
The employment prospects for environmental engineering majors are actually quite narrow. They can only go to relevant functional departments of government agencies, colleges and universities, scientific research institutes and related enterprises and companies in the industry to do research, as well as work on pollution control and waste disposal.
With his technical secondary school education, there is no need to think about the above, it is simply not possible.
Of course, when he first took the exam for this major, Xu Hou was not thinking about this, but that majors such as environmental engineering were not popular. After graduation, there would be little competition pressure, and although the work would be tiring, the pay should be pretty good.
Unexpectedly, after graduating from this major, the salary for working in a garbage dump was only 4,000 yuan a month.
Doing the dirtiest and most tiring work with cabbage-price wages is almost the hard part of this industry.
But unexpectedly, after a few years, he suddenly discovered that this major didn't seem so bad after all.
Although I don’t understand why, the wages offered by major companies have been rising in the past two years. It seems that environmental projects that were originally ignored have become popular.
From working in a garbage disposal site with a salary of four to five thousand, I finally switched jobs to BYD. Even if I was just an ordinary equipment engineer, specializing in ensuring the normal operation of production equipment and doing daily maintenance work, the salary I received was just
Got 1.5, 1.6.
Sometimes bonuses are given, and they can be even higher.
In addition to wages, benefits have also changed from the original five insurances and one fund guaranteed at the garbage dump to the current six insurances and two funds.
Adding this salary and year-end bonus, an ordinary worker like him can now have an annual income of more than 20, close to 30.
The most important thing is that the money is more efficiently spent.
Some people say that it is an upward cycle of economic development, and everyone has money. Others say that it is due to state regulation and control of prices and other things.
He couldn't understand the specific reason, but some things related to daily life were experienced by him personally.
Take housing prices for example. In 2021 and 2022, the original housing prices in my hometown of Baling soared to 81,000 yuan.
But now, even for a room in a school district, the price is only over 4,000 yuan, less than 5,000 yuan.
He heard that this was forcibly controlled by the state.
There are also daily groceries. Pork that used to cost 17 or 18 yuan per kilogram now only costs 78 yuan. Fruits and vegetables are even cheaper. Watermelons that I didn’t dare to eat at 34 yuan per jin in the past can now be eaten as much as I want.
dazzle.
Given the current situation, I can indeed live a pretty good life.
