Thinking about it, in Zhao Xiangdong's opinion, Tian Xinguo is good at farming, and he is not a public farmer, let alone the prodigal disciple of Fang Xiaoyue!
Well, until now, Zhao Xiangdong still has a lot of resentment in Fang Xiaoyue's heart.
But Tian Xinguo refused to change his mind and vowed to impress his future father-in-law.
Neither Li Honggang nor Tian Xinguo know how popular they will be in the future when they take the college entrance examination and go to university. They only know what is happening now.
Fang Xiaoyue thought about it and did not force the two of them to review and prepare for the college entrance examination.
After all, in his opinion, everyone thinks that he is a scumbag. If you force others to take the college entrance examination, you might as well follow him into the factory.
Of course, it is impossible for two people to enter the factory now. They need to have a certain say in the agricultural machinery factory.
After the New Year, Fang Xiaoyue officially went to work and became a member of the technical department of the agricultural machinery factory.
After actually entering the agricultural machinery factory, he realized that the agricultural machinery factory was really run-down.
There are a total of 127 active employees in the factory and 45 retired employees.
Many of them are the kind of people who have no skills and just come in to make a living.
And a lot of equipment in agricultural machinery factories should be scrapped.
In short, the equipment is backward, the technology is not strong enough, and the personnel burden is heavy.
To be honest, Fang Xiaoyue was a little impressed that the agricultural machinery factory was able to persevere under such circumstances.
However, he can't hold on for long now. In the first few days of his work, most of the employees in the factory did not come to work. Even those who came to work were listless, bragging and playing cards. There was no discipline at all. .
Fang Xiaoyue didn't pay attention to this. He was almost the ace of the agricultural machinery factory now.
As the truck was repaired, many nearby units also sent their cars for repairs.
In a short while, he became the busiest person in the agricultural machinery factory.
For this reason, Factory Director Huabai specially set up a so-called technical research team for Fang Xiaoyue.
Well, just to help him.
After all, repairing a car would be too exhausting for Fang Xiaoyue alone.
But soon the problem was exposed, and the technical research team working on Fang Xiaoyue couldn't keep up.
No way, the agricultural machinery factory has not recruited people for many years. Except for those unskilled guys who are just pretending to be dead, the ones who have some skills in repairing cars are all elderly. It's okay to let them stand aside and give guidance to the young workers. Let them help Fang Xiaoyue. Not to mention respecting the elders, they can't keep up with Fang Xiaoyue's speed alone.
Just like if the doctor on the operating table is very skilled at operating a knife, but the nurse who hands the forceps and blades is much slower, then the doctor will feel that the rhythm is disrupted, and the operation will be bumpy.
Plus the repair business is really good now.
Fang Xiaoyue made a slight mention, and the gray factory director made the decision to recruit two more apprentices!
Ever since, Li Honggang and Tian Xinguo took advantage of the east wind and entered the agricultural machinery factory.
With Li Honggang and Tian Xinguo as helpers, plus Xiao Huang, Fang Xiaoyue feels much better than that technical research team.
After half a year, the financial department of the agricultural machinery factory was shocked to find during the mid-year financial summary that the agricultural machinery factory did not lose money for the first time in recent years.
In other words, the income and expenditure of agricultural machinery factories have reached balance for the first time in the past six months, and even increased slightly.
With this foundation of credit, Fang Xiaoyue became the deputy chief of the technical section.
Of course, at this time, Fang Xiaoyue was no longer satisfied with repairing cars.
He wanted to go one step further and make the Agricultural Machinery Factory's brand worthy of its name.
Although the agricultural machinery factory has suffered losses all year round and its production equipment is backward, Fang Xiaoyue has also seen the equipment and some key equipment is still well maintained.
So even if these equipments are backward, they are still better than when I was in Forsythia Village, right?
When the factory leaders held a meeting, Fang Xiaoyue proposed restarting agricultural machinery production.
As he had imagined before, the leaders present, whether it was the Huabai factory director, deputy factory director, various section chiefs, deputy section chiefs, etc. all expressed their opposition.
Only Wang Feng from the technical department supported him.
No way, now Wang Feng can be said to be conquered by him, and there is a hint of admiration in his eyes every time he looks at him.
Everyone objected, and supposedly this matter should be considered a nail on the coffin lid.
But Fang Xiaoyue came up with a trump card, a resignation letter!
If you don't promise me, I will resign.
How can I resign?
Seeing that the agricultural machinery factory was saved and the most critical key personnel were about to escape, the gray factory director almost suffered from a heart attack.
In the end, many factory and department leaders had no choice but to hold their noses and admit the matter.
But they also made an agreement with Fang Xiaoyue in advance. Whether it is to renovate the production line or add new equipment, the agricultural machinery factory has no money and it is impossible to get a loan. Everything will be handled by yourself.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't think this was taking advantage of herself.
The agricultural machinery factory really had no money and couldn't get a loan. The only money it could get was wages, which the county shamelessly asked for.
It would be impossible for any normal person to agree to this condition.
But Fang Xiaoyue has no intention of staying in this small plane forever. He is just a passerby. No matter how much benefit he earns, it will be all in vain once he leaves here.
But he also asked Director Hua Bai for some power, and he had the final say in all personnel transfers in this area.
No one in any factory or mine would agree to such a request. This is the power of the top brass!
But the gray factory director nodded in agreement.
With the authorization from Director Hua Bai, Fang Xiaoyue immediately summoned some workers he liked.
To put it simply, no matter whether they are young or old, these workers still have some vitality, unlike those who are completely hopeless like those who are just waiting to die.
With these workers, Fang Xiaoyue cleaned out the equipment he needed one by one, re-oiled what needed to be oiled, and repaired what needed to be repaired.
These workers also saw that Fang Xiaoyue was good at repairing cars and wanted to learn from him.
But after the equipment was sorted out, Fang Xiaoyue took out two design drawings.
Human threshing machine! Human harvester!
For an agricultural machinery factory to produce new products, it is better to do it raw than to do it well, at least before it gets off to a good start.
Fang Xiaoyue is now extremely familiar with manual harvesters and manual threshers.
In the current situation, if agricultural machinery manufacturers want to build electric threshers, electric harvesters are impossible.
No money to outsource the motor, no money to buy the silicon steel needed for the motor...
In short, in Fang Xiaoyue's opinion, if you want to build a real reputation for an agricultural machinery factory, you have to rely on human-powered agricultural machinery!
But this time, his responsibility in manufacturing human-powered agricultural machinery was not entirely wooden.
There are a lot of iron materials in the warehouse of the agricultural machinery factory, and the hardness and toughness of these iron materials are good.
The manual thresher was the first to be manufactured. Fang Xiaoyue asked Zhang Daniu to take people up the mountain to cut down a batch of wood.
It is much more convenient and faster to manufacture human threshing machines in the agricultural machinery factory than in Forsythia Village.
After the wood is processed in the drying kiln, it is easily cut under the electric wood saw, and then polished and assembled, and the human threshing machines are freshly produced.
The threshing part of these manual threshing machines has become metal, making it more efficient and durable.
After this manual threshing machine was delivered to various township supply and marketing cooperatives, sales were very good. In just half a month, 200 units were sold.
Although part of the reason is the low price, its excellent threshing efficiency is still the main reason.
The human harvesters produced later triggered a sales frenzy due to the better quality of iron materials, simple structure, small loss of transmission force and high harvesting efficiency.
In the words of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, it has been a long time since there has been such a best-selling agricultural tool.
Indeed, when it comes to threshing machines, many brigades may not buy them. Some brigades already have threshing machines, and some brigades would rather organize everyone to beat and thresh on the field dam.
But this harvester is different. It plays a huge role in the harvest season.
After launching two best-selling agricultural machines in succession, Fang Xiaoyue's status in the agricultural machinery factory has reached its peak.
How many years has it been since such a scene happened?
Because the human harvester is much more complex than the human thresher, the production speed is also much slower.
For every unit produced, the supply and marketing cooperative sold one unit, with no pressure on goods at all, so many leaders of the brigade relied on connections to try to reserve a few units at the agricultural machinery factory.
There are also related households who got the harvester and then resold it to other places.
However, after workers at the agricultural machinery factory became familiar with the production and manufacturing of these two agricultural machinery, Fang Xiaoyue focused on the design and production of tractors.
He knew that in this era of material poverty, if he designed an oil-burning tractor, he would not be able to sell it at all.
Which brigade is willing to buy a gas tank to support it?
Such a tractor is completely affordable and cannot be used.
The county's gasoline quotas are all used for those cars, and tractors are absolutely impossible to grab.
So he finally designed a farm tractor based on some information he had seen.
Everyone at the agricultural machinery factory is now convinced of Fang Xiaoyue's design.
Although everyone felt a little weird looking at the engine on the design drawing, no one dared to jump out and find fault like Lin Guofeng.
Therefore, the tractor engine prototype was produced first.
"Master, why is this engine so weird?"
Li Honggang gave full play to his good habit of asking questions when he didn't understand anything, and started asking about the engine consisting of a boiler and a steam engine.
"This is a pot camel machine. It appeared in the early 20th century. This thing can be used as fuel for anything, but it was eliminated later."
Fang Xiaoyue smiled, lit a bundle of firewood, stuffed it into the furnace of the boiler, and then closed the iron door.
Not long after, steam came out of the pot machine, driving the transmission rod to rotate, causing a wheel fixed on the iron frame to rotate very fast.
The quality of the pot camel machine manufactured by Fang Xiaoyue is definitely top-notch.
