Jin Feng has always given people the impression of being gentle and humble, but now even Daqiang, an upright and reckless man, has noticed that Jin Feng is a little angry.
Everyone involuntarily held their breath and concentrated, just like the elementary school students who made a mistake, standing in a row leaning on the shelf.
"I come to you today to make one thing clear. The highest person in charge of the dock is Young Master Hong. He has the authority to handle any matter in the dock!"
The people present were either workers or bodyguards, and none of them had ever been an official before. Jin Feng didn't like the overtones in the officialdom, so he went straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth.
In the past, many workers who came from Jinchuan Ironworks felt that they were direct descendants of Jin Feng, and there was always a sense of superiority in the shipyard where they worked.
Hong Taoping and the local boatmen were particularly grateful to Jin Feng because of Jin Feng's initial funding. They were even more amazed by the steamboat designed by Jin Feng, so they were more tolerant of the workers from Jinchuan.
This has led to the workers from Jinchuan having a stronger and stronger sense of superiority, and some workers and escorts have even become a little arrogant.
Jin Feng's words just now fully acknowledged Hong Taoping's identity as the person in charge of the shipyard.
Hong Taoping couldn't help but feel a little excited on his face: "Sir, I..."
"Don't speak yet!"
Jin Feng turned to look at Hong Taoping: "When I first came to the dock, I should have told you that you were the person in charge of the dock, but how did you become the person in charge?
If you break a beam, no matter what the reason is, you have unshirkable responsibility. As the person in charge, do you still need to hold a meeting to discuss such a simple punishment?
Is this how you act as the person in charge?"
Hong Taoping was scolded by Jin Feng and lowered his head, but did not refute.
Next, Jin Feng beat everyone else in the room one by one, and even the upright Daqiang was not spared.
No one is perfect. On the way here, Jin Feng asked the secret agent of Zhong Ming Group in advance to inquire about the recent situation of the dock.
Among the reports handed over by the secret agents, one of them was about Daqiang.
Daqiang's personal style has always been quite upright and he is conscientious in his work, but he has a strong sense of social justice and prefers to take care of his fellow villagers in his daily work.
There was a conflict between the bodyguards or Jinchuan workers and the locals. Da Qiang basically sided with the bodyguards and Jinchuan workers. If their side ignored them, he would act as a peacemaker and make peace with them.
It is precisely because of Da Qiang's connivance that the escorts and Jinchuan workers have become more and more arrogant.
Jin Feng cursed for more than half an hour before he stopped.
Once a person who doesn't usually lose his temper starts to curse, it can still be very intimidating.
Everyone in the room lowered their heads and began to reflect in their hearts.
"Sir, I didn't do a good job in the past. From now on, I will manage the dock well in accordance with the rules and regulations set by sir!"
Hong Taoping was the first to express his stance.
"I will also strictly control the escorts in accordance with the rules and regulations and cooperate with Director Hong's work!"
"Me too!"
Hong Taoping and Black Cat also quickly expressed their stance.
In fact, the factional fighting in the dock is not serious, at most it is just a sign. After Jin Feng's admonishment this time, this sign should be eliminated.
Jin Feng was quite satisfied with this conversation, but he was also starting to think about whether he should change someone to be the factory director.
It's not that he doesn't trust Hong Taoping, but because Hong Taoping is good at shipbuilding, not management.
According to the spy's report, Hong Taoping often stayed up late and worked overtime, and even went without sleep for a day or two when there was a deadline.
Hong Taoping is very qualified to be responsible for the technology of the shipyard, but it is a bit confusing to ask him to be responsible for the management. He often cannot find people.
Sometimes when something goes wrong, other people come to him for advice on what to do, but Hong Taoping doesn't care much.
It is indeed inappropriate for such a person to be the person in charge of the dock.
But when he first built the shipyard, Jin Feng had nothing but money. The shipyard was built bit by bit by Hong Taoping with the help of the Hong family's local influence. Jin Feng originally promised to let Hong Taoping be the person in charge of the factory. If
If we rashly remove him now, what will the local workers think?
More than 80% of the workers in the dock are locals, and more than half of these 80% are former members of the Hong family.
Once these people cause trouble, the dock will definitely be shut down on the spot.
After thinking about it again and again, Jin Feng found that he was not good at management either, so he decided not to mention the matter for the time being and to get the building ships and armored ships out first. As for the issue of Hong Taoping, he would discuss it with the Ninth Princess when he went back.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng nodded towards the few people: "Friendship is friendship, work is work. Now that you know where you made a mistake, don't make it again in the future, otherwise don't blame me for not cherishing old friendship!"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded solemnly.
"Okay, let's go out and get busy!"
Jin Feng waved his hand and walked out of the hut first.
But Jin Feng did not leave the dock, but boarded the Zhenyuan No. 3 with the hammer and came to the No. 3 beam position.
It would be too time-consuming to ask Jinchuan to re-make the No. 3 beam.
If it were normal times, forget it, but now the situation in Jiangnan is serious, and Jin Feng really can't wait any longer.
The earlier the ironclad ship is built, the earlier it can be set out to find the New World.
So Jin Feng wanted to see if he could remedy the situation.
As one of the main beams, the No. 3 beam was related to the overall carrying capacity and safety of the Zhenyuan No. 3. Jin Feng was not completely sure, so he did not tell him in advance, nor did he stop Da Qiang from sending an escort back to Jinchuan to report the news.
Jinchuan will re-make the beam, and Jinfeng will also think of ways to use whichever one is faster.
So in the next few days, Hong Taoping's hut was occupied by Jin Feng. Except for sleeping, he spent almost all the time in the dock and the hut.
The cabin has a complete set of tools, so you can not only draw drawings, but also make ship models to test your ideas.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no bed in the hut, he might even have to sleep in the hut.
Hong Taoping quickly realized that Jin Feng was about to make another big move, so he took the initiative to come over and ask.
Jin Feng was still not completely sure. He originally did not plan to tell Hong Taoping his plan, but considering that Hong Taoping was also a master of shipbuilding, Jin Feng finally told Hong Taoping the plan in order to brainstorm ideas.
Hong Taoping is also a senior man in science and engineering. When he learned that Jin Feng wanted to find a way to replace the No. 3 beam, he immediately became interested and joined the team working overtime.
Tang Xiaobei also made fun of Jin Feng because of this incident, saying that he and Hong Taoping were so inseparable recently that they almost wore the same pants.
Is Jin Feng someone who can endure provocation?
of course not!
As a result of Tang Xiaobei's joke, Jin Feng naturally punished him severely.
Hard work always pays off, and Jin Feng and Hong Taoping's continued overtime work paid off. They finally found a solution.
