Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After Director Zheng finished assigning work to Li Feng, he continued to discuss the project's progress with Deputy Director Zhu.

After leaving Director Zheng's office, Li Feng went straight back to his own office.

At this moment, there was almost no one in the painting workshop office.

Seeing this, Li Feng wondered where Li Sheng and the others had gone.

Before leaving the ceramics factory, Li Feng had already assigned tasks to Li Sheng and the others.

Just as Li Feng was wondering, Liu Wei from the finance department came to him.

After Liu Wei arrived at Li Feng's place, the first thing she said to him was...

"Director Li, our section chief would like to ask when the design drawings for the remaining two production lines will be available. This will allow us to prepare the budget, and once it's ready, we'll submit it to the department for approval as soon as possible."

When Li Feng heard Liu Wei's words, he suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Li Feng never expected that he would be pressured to come up with a plan one day. He sighed and replied to Liu Wei.

"If I were to estimate, it would take about a month."

"It should take about a month."

"As you know, things like this don't come out overnight."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Liu Wei quickly nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go back and report to my supervisor."

Liu Wei then left Li Feng's office.

Now that Li Feng has been called in to do something, he definitely has to finish drawing the design plans for the remaining two production lines.

Although he estimated that it would take more than twenty days to complete, Li Feng still said it would take a month.

This was also to give himself some time, otherwise, if something unexpected happened, Li Feng would have a hard time dealing with these matters.

Next

Li Feng started drawing in his office.

While Li Feng was drawing the plans, Li Sheng returned and brought Li Feng some information about the new factory.

After glancing at the documents, Li Feng immediately instructed Li Sheng to organize the data within them.

Furthermore, Li Feng told Li Sheng that he needed to use this data.

Li Feng then started drawing until 5 p.m., when he was notified that there was a meeting.

Li Feng was speechless.

He didn't expect that since the project started, the number of meetings would increase so much.

Li Feng had no choice but to go to the main conference room for a meeting.

At this time, many leaders were already seated in the conference room.

He then found a seat with his name on it and sat down.

About ten minutes later, almost everyone had arrived.

Next

Factory Director Zheng spoke first.

"today!".

"The main purpose of our meeting is because the ministry has given us new instructions."

"Regarding the project, the ministry's opinion is to divide it into four phases!"

"Each production line has a cycle!"

"Currently, we have designed two production lines, and we still need to design two more!"

"In order to ensure the project progresses, I invited Li Feng, the deputy director who is currently in college, back to design the remaining two production lines."

Then Director Zheng looked at Li Feng and asked him a question.

"Li Feng!"

"Based on your experience, it would take geniuses to design the blueprints for two production lines?"

Upon hearing what Director Zheng said, Li Feng immediately replied to him.

"One month!"

"A month will be enough for me!" Although Li Feng could complete the task in just over twenty days with the help of the system, he didn't want to show off.

Li Feng didn't want others to think he was too idle, because if he was too idle, others might cause him trouble.

What Li Feng didn't know was that when others learned that he could draw up the design drawings for two production lines in a month, they were all very surprised.

After all, this is a design drawing for a production line, not a doodle.

Or perhaps it's painting porcelain.

For example, painting a large porcelain slab can sometimes take up to a month.

But how can painting large porcelain slabs compare to drawing design drawings?

Those design drawings are for the production line that will eventually manufacture the products.

They would probably be even more surprised if they knew that Li Feng could finish the painting in just over twenty days.

Upon hearing Li Feng's answer, Director Zheng nodded in response.

"it is good!".

"Li Feng, try to finish the design drawings within a month."

"At that time, you will come with me to the ministry again to review the design drawings."

Recalling the scene of the last time the design drawings were reviewed, Li Feng nodded to Director Zheng to indicate that there were no problems.

Then, Director Zheng and Deputy Director Zhu began to assign tasks for the next phase.

The vacant land next to the ceramics factory has now been basically leveled.

The site preparation, including water, electricity, road access, and land leveling, has been completed.

Now, we need to prepare for the initial phase of the project. Deputy Factory Director Zhu and Director Wu will coordinate with the construction unit to set up the initial framework first.

The current construction work is mostly being carried out by engineering troops. After all, in this era, they are the ones who do the infrastructure construction, such as factory buildings for state-owned enterprises.

Besides them, no one else in the country has this capability.

It would be best if Deputy Factory Director Zhu and Director Wu could handle the communication with the construction company.

After all, they were all deputy division chiefs.

This was definitely more effective than his own words, so Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the coordination work of the engineering corps would be done by them.

Next is the budget for the procurement list, which has passed the audit.

But every penny of the money allocated by the ministry must be recorded.

This is the process, and it's something that can't be avoided.

Everything basically has to be done according to the procedures.

It's okay if there are problems, as long as the process is correct, that's fine.

If the process is wrong, that will absolutely not work.

As for the specific procurement, it will be handled by designated personnel, and efforts will be made to ensure that the funds are used for their designated purposes.

At this point, Li Feng felt that he was doing quite well as a designer, without having to worry about so many details.

In fact, these details are also very laborious work.

Finally, Director Zheng proposed establishing an engineering department.

Engineering Department of Wuxing Ceramics Factory.

Furthermore, Director Zheng proposed that the Engineering Department would be restructured into the Factory's Machinery and Equipment Management Section.

Finally, Director Zheng announced an appointment.

Deputy Factory Director Zhu concurrently took charge of the Engineering Department, and Wu Qing and Li Feng were appointed as Deputy Ministers of the Engineering Department.

Li Feng didn't care about this. Although he knew he would become the head of the Equipment Management Department in the future, the establishment of this Engineering Department also indicated that...

The plan is progressing step by step.

Once the project is completed, the engineering department will be renamed.

What Li Feng needs to do now is to produce the design drawings properly and then submit them to the ministry for review by the experts.

You have to eat one bite at a time; you can't get fat overnight.

However, Li Feng knew that the factory's next step was to begin construction on the support piles. (End of Chapter)
