Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Su Chen went on to say: "We now have a management trainee system in our factory. The so-called management trainees are management trainees. Because we don't just need managers who talk big, but management who can truly understand the plight of grassroots workers. Every management trainee will participate in every production line and experience the life and feelings of front-line workers. In other words, if you want to become a cadre in the factory in the future, you have to start from these grassroots jobs."

"Because you will be the future pillars of our factory, before you step into the leadership level, you must personally experience the lives and labor of the workers so that you can better understand and lead the employees forward. At the same time, the actual work experience on the production line will serve as an important basis for evaluating your future development direction and help you to fully tap your potential. Even though most of the current factory managers are from the older generation, you will be the future masters of the factory. I hope that you will gain something from your time in the production workshop and bring about a new atmosphere." After saying this, Su Chen bowed deeply to everyone and walked aside.

When the students understood the concepts of "management trainees" and "reserve cadres", many of them were already excited. They never expected to start from a basic position, but this model showed them a way to become a member of the management team - just working on the assembly line for a period of time, they can hopefully enter the senior management.

For the college students who have not yet entered the complex reality of society, such a promise is undoubtedly a great encouragement. They are eager to start working immediately and show their strength through their own efforts to strive for the opportunity to be promoted to management. The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is now famous, and it is a very prestigious thing to occupy a position in the management level of this large steel enterprise. Therefore, the fighting spirit of these college students is unprecedentedly high. When they heard "the future of the factory belongs to you", many of them were even moved.

Such words were rarely heard by leaders during this period, which made the college students feel the warmth of home. Therefore, they clapped their hands enthusiastically in response to Su Chen's speech. The applause was as exciting as a tsunami.

Assistant Zhang, who was standing next to him, felt a surge of warmth in his heart. It turned out that Su Chen could say such words. This was different from his usual habit of rarely making public speeches. This deeply touched Assistant Zhang.

Assistant Zhang first realized the huge difference between Suchen and other factory leaders. Recently, the situation at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has been getting better and better. Suchen's various management arrangements have significantly improved the enthusiasm of the workers and given the enterprise a new breath of life.

Therefore, he felt that Su Chen's words were indeed sincere. Assistant Zhang couldn't help but sigh, regretting that he was not a college student, otherwise he would be valued by Su Chen like those college students.

After Suchen's speech, he invited several workshop directors to speak. Although they didn't know what to say at first, after seeing Suchen's enthusiasm, they also began to share what the steel mill meant to them and the various benefits they had gained under Suchen's leadership.

At the end of the series of speeches, all the college students were so enthusiastic that they almost wanted to rush to the workshop to work immediately.

However, they were not immediately arranged to work on the production line after the welcome ceremony. Su Chen arranged for the cafeteria to prepare a sumptuous meal for these new students. These future main workers were treated like this, so Su Chen naturally did not want to treat them unfairly.

When the students heard that the factory would hold a banquet for them after the welcome party, they felt even warmer. When they arrived at the canteen of the steel mill and saw the rich and varied, rare delicacies on the table, many students even shed tears of emotion.

Many students come from poor families, and being able to eat such delicious food this time has strengthened their determination to stay and work hard in this steel mill. In order to have fun with the people, Suchen also received a meal in the cafeteria and sat down to eat.

Although the food prepared in the cafeteria was not as good as that prepared by chef Wang David in the dining hall, it was just an occasional meal for Su Chen, so he could enjoy it happily. He ate in a corner of the cafeteria, surrounded by several workshop directors and assistant Zhang. Even though other college students wanted to eat at the same table with Su Chen, they did not dare to get close to him, but formed a circle around him.

Halfway through the meal, several students who had hesitated for a long time plucked up the courage to approach Su Chen, holding paper and pen in hand.

Su Chen had noticed the behavior of these students for some time. When he found that they looked serious and seemed to be discussing something important, he felt curious. But when the students handed over paper and pen and asked nervously, "Director, can you sign for us?", Su Chen couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the young man's flushed face, he nodded and agreed, and wrote his name generously.

The eyes of those students who were lucky enough to get autographs were shining with excitement, while the other students who failed to get autographs in time were filled with jealousy and regretted that they did not act bravely.

It was almost late at night when he finished all the affairs. After arranging the arrangements for this group of energetic college students, Su Chen returned home under the dim moonlight. Although it was already dark outside, he thought Yang Xue had already fallen asleep.

Normally Yang Xue never stays up late, but this time when Su Chen came home and turned on the light, he found that Yang Xue had fallen asleep on the sofa.

Looking at Yang Xue, who looked tired, Su Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart. He picked her up gently, put her carefully on the bed in the bedroom, and covered her with a quilt.

A few days later, the steel rolling mill where Su Chen worked successfully completed the production of that batch of fire-fighting equipment.

Since the military informed him that the warships had been arranged for transportation, Suchen worked overtime in the workshop to rush to produce this batch of materials. The workers also understood that the sale of this batch of firefighting equipment would bring a large amount of income, plus the piecework wages were quite considerable, so everyone worked hard and finally completed the task that would have taken half a month in just a few days.

Su Chen carefully inspected the quality of this batch of fire-fighting equipment and confirmed that it fully met the standards. He became more and more satisfied and then generously donated a generous bonus to all the workers.

After receiving the extra reward, the workers, who were already highly motivated, worked even harder, striving to complete the next task as soon as possible.

After everything was ready, Su Chen called the military leader to report that the fire-fighting equipment was ready and asked when a ship could be arranged to transport it.

"Boss, our factory has completed the production of all the equipment. When will you arrange for the ship to pick up these firefighting equipment? Once it arrives at the dock, it can set sail at any time."

Hearing this, the military leaders were quite surprised. They originally thought that it would take some time to complete such a large order. Unexpectedly, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill delivered the goods in just over a week.

So he immediately responded: "We are also ready, you just need to transport the firefighting equipment to the dock."

Seeing that the military was ready, Su Chen finally felt relieved. The last thing he wanted to see was that one side was finished while the other side was not. Just as Su Chen was about to hang up, the leader continued, "Wait a minute, I'll go to your place to see the situation in person, and then we can talk in detail."

Su Chen nodded in agreement, "Okay, please come anytime."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen looked around the vibrant scene in the factory and felt very satisfied. Since that group of college students joined the team and demonstrated their outstanding abilities, many graduate students and doctors from famous universities have come to the research department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. At first, some people doubted whether there were real experts in the factory and seemed hesitant. But when they personally experienced that there were indeed these authoritative experts in the factory and spread this fact widely, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill almost became a place where they competed to set foot.

They have always lacked the corresponding research resources in their home country, so it has been difficult to unleash their passion for their favorite topics. If they want to gain recognition from experts and scholars in the industry and demonstrate their scientific research capabilities, they must have solid research results as a foundation. However, in the absence of funds and experimental equipment, these graduate students and doctoral students have no place to use their skills even if they have excellent skills.

Now, the Red Star Steel Mill has given them an opportunity. To this end, many graduate students and doctoral students have flocked to join the expert team with expertise in the Bear Country. With the support of these new forces, the research work of the steel mill has made significant progress.

Su Chen was surprised that this group of graduate students could not only cooperate smoothly with the experts from the Bear Country, but also mastered the Bear language, making communication between the two sides more convenient. At the same time, since the industrial models of the local area and the Bear Country are very similar, the professional directions of these students are also highly compatible with the latter, making the cooperation between the two sides extremely smooth and accelerating the speed of overall project development.

With the participation of these young people, the research process of the woolly bear experts seems to be more comfortable. Su Chen visits the workshop from time to time and is deeply pleased to see these young researchers working hard under the guidance of experts. Even though there are no clear results yet, he believes that it will not be long before the results emerge like a new bamboo shoot breaking through the ground in spring. He is confident about this.

After receiving Su Chen's notification, the military leaders quickly contacted their liaison officers and instructed them to prepare to receive a batch of fire-fighting equipment provided by Su Chen.

Considering that the amount involved was tens of millions of US dollars, the military chief was unwilling to completely trust the communication report and chose to go to the site for personal inspection.

After learning that the military leader had arrived, Suchen accompanied him to the area where the firefighting equipment was located. After inspecting the equipment on site, the leader confirmed that they were in standby status as Suchen described. Moreover, the quality of the goods even exceeded his expectations.
