Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After Minister Jiang and other leaders finished cutting the ribbon, they were greeted with applause.

At this moment, both the cadres and employees of the ceramics factory and the Chinese and foreign merchants were applauding and celebrating the trial operation and opening of the branch factory.

of course!

At that time, neither the employees nor the Chinese and foreign merchants expected that the opening of the ceramics branch factory would be such a grand affair.

While they were discussing these things, the people from the ceramics factory handed each of them a brochure.

The brochure was printed with information about the ceramics factory's industrial porcelain production.

There are also factors related to the output of the ceramic industry and the exquisiteness of ceramic products.

The brochure naturally contains some embellishments, which is normal, as it's meant to showcase the project's contribution to the future development of ceramics.

This has a very positive meaning.

So no matter what, this is a good thing.

Li Feng was well aware of this, but there was one more thing.

That shows how much importance Minister Jiang attaches to this project. While the industrialization of ceramics is a good project, the people involved are also crucial.

If this project had been undertaken by Director Wei back then, it certainly wouldn't have achieved the results it has today.

However, this also shows that Director Zheng has a lot of influence.

If Director Zheng didn't have much influence, the current effect wouldn't have been possible.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Director Zheng led the group of leaders and others into the branch factory workshop for a tour.

This is the highlight.

At the beginning, Director Zheng didn't mince words.

After all, that's the highlight.

At this point, Director Zheng acted as a guide, leading his team to explain the workflow of the production line, its output, and the degree of quality control.

When Director Zheng mentioned that the ceramic production volume from start to finish was several hundred times that of the same amount of time, Minister Jiang couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder it's a result of industrialization."

"The production capacity has increased so much all at once."

"That's great."

At this moment, Minister Jiang began to praise Factory Director Zheng.

Minister Jiang also acknowledged Director Zheng's abilities.

Otherwise, Minister Jiang wouldn't have poached Factory Director Zheng from the Ministry of Chemical Industry.

Just as Minister Jiang was praising Factory Director Zheng, Factory Director Zheng immediately spoke up to explain to Minister Jiang.

"Minister Jiang, there is actually room for improvement in our production line."

"Currently, due to technical reasons, it is not possible to achieve perfection in all aspects, based on my estimates."

"If we can complete the second phase, our production capacity can increase by 20% while ensuring quality."

After Director Zheng finished speaking, he instructed someone to show the samples produced on the assembly line to Minister Jiang and the others.

At this moment, Minister Jiang took the porcelain sample and examined it carefully.

At this moment, Minister Jiang discovered that the porcelain sample in his hand was so finely crafted that it looked just as exquisite as if it had been made by hand.

When Minister Jiang learned about the speed at which the porcelain he was producing was made, he was even more surprised.

The porcelain pieces that Minister Jiang is currently making have all already been fired.

On the assembly line, the slip-casting process for porcelain production only produces the unfinished pieces.

Even so, the speed is still hundreds of times faster than before, and it still requires a relatively professional potter or potter to do it.

Minister Jiang was quite surprised that ordinary workers could now make such porcelain.

At this moment, Li Feng, who was standing not far behind Director Zheng, saw Minister Jiang's expression and knew that Director Zheng was in the clear this time.

At this point, Li Feng believed that Director Zheng would probably be transferred back to the ministry soon.

As for who will take over as factory director, that is a crucial question.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about these things, Minister Jiang suddenly said to Director Zheng.

"Little Zheng!"

Upon hearing Minister Jiang's words, Factory Director Zheng immediately replied, "I'm here!"

Minister Jiang paused for a moment before speaking to Factory Director Zheng.

"Little Zheng".

"This project is very important, both for our department and for the country."

Factory Director Zheng quickly gleaned crucial information from Minister Jiang's words.

So, Director Zheng hesitated for a moment and then asked Minister Jiang a question.

"You mean...?"

Minister Jiang simply nodded to Director Zheng.

"That's right!"

"We need to take bigger steps."

"Young people should have the courage to be pioneers and the spirit to be the first in the world; this is very important."

"This is also a wise saying of Mr. Desheng!"

"For the first phase of the project, to achieve this level, you've really done a great job!"

When Minister Jiang got to this point, he couldn't help but sigh, and then he said to Minister Jiang...

"You did a great job on the first phase of the project."

"If the second phase can really increase production by 20 percent as you said."

"I think Mr. Desheng will also come here to visit."

"This is a very good thing for you."

When Minister Jiang finished speaking, Director Zheng's breathing became rapid.

This opportunity was truly unique for Director Zheng.

At this moment, Factory Director Zheng immediately began to make assurances to Minister Jiang.

"Minister Jiang, I will definitely increase the output of the second phase by 20%."

Minister Jiang nodded slightly after hearing Director Zheng's assurance.

He had already seen the porcelain produced on the assembly line.

Compared to high-end porcelain, it's definitely incomparable.

However, compared to low- to mid-range porcelain, there is no problem.

Moreover, the quality of this porcelain is beyond question.

Sales will definitely not be a problem.

Therefore, there is no question of whether or not the product can be sold.

Moreover, the current output has already exceeded his expectations. If the output increases by another 20%, it will undoubtedly allow him to complete his foreign exchange task ahead of schedule.

Maybe I'll be able to move around a bit by then.

This increase in production also has many benefits for itself.

Those around Director Zheng naturally heard his conversation with the senior leader.

This made them determined to work hard under Director Zheng, believing that doing well would definitely lead to a bright future.

As for Secretary Chen, he will be retiring in about two years.

So he didn't care about any of that.

After Director Zheng made his promises to Minister Jiang, he couldn't help but think about it again.

Perhaps I could make some arrangements in advance, anyway.

Director Zheng is still a relatively young cadre, and he would be very willing to reach that position sooner.

There's a saying that goes, "If you fall behind by one step, you'll fall behind by every step."

If one can take the first step, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to oneself.

When Director Zheng thought of this, he decided it was time to talk to his family first. (End of Chapter)
