Passing by some shops, Ji Donglai directly loaded up half a truckload of beer, and made a lot of other snacks, plus some braised products.
When Ji Donglai entered the factory yard, the workers were making dumplings organized by Mr. and Mrs. Wu.
"My boss is here, oh, it's Chinese New Year..."
Watching Ji Donglai's car enter the yard, Old Wu took the lead to greet him, followed by a group of workers who had not returned home, including a student: He Xiaolong.
"Move your things quickly. Everyone hasn't gone home to celebrate the New Year. There's nothing to do. Let's bring some food and wine for everyone to drink! Old Wu, take everyone to do this. Xiaolong, you are young and come with me!"
Lao Wu organized everyone to move the food and wine back. Ji Donglai took He Xiaolong and opened the door of the workshop directly. Although it only took a few days, the workshop had already cooled down.
Ji Donglai checked the circuit, He Xiaolong simply started the press, and then Ji Donglai checked the induction coil.
"I will come back with five hundred 35-inch iron rods in the evening, which are the materials used to process the big rivets last time. Let the workers celebrate the New Year tonight, and start digging out these five hundred rivets tomorrow! Then we will package them according to our export , this is customer information, Cui Mingyan will contact you for details, this is Yu Xiu’s phone number..."
Ji Donglai trusted He Xiaolong very much and gave him all the information, and then carefully checked the details with him.
As the first export order of machining processing to the West, Ji Donglai attaches great importance to it. Most of the mature European customers are unfamiliar with it, including Ji Donglai. On the one hand, making money with this order is more important than familiarity. Customers' standards, so Ji Donglai doesn't dare to be careless in terms of quality.
After finishing this, Ji Donglai took out the design drawings of the reducing machine and handed over the drawings of various parts to He Xiaolong, asking the other party to find suitable workers for processing.
"It's okay, Brother Ji. Two of our machining workers are not home. Master Zhao once asked a master to come over for support. I asked him to open this mold for us. Let's reduce the diameter first, right?"
"Okay, let's do it!"
To put it bluntly, the diameter reducing machine is hydraulic clamping and die drawing. The products produced by this process have a uniform outer diameter and are very efficient. It is equivalent to forging. It strengthens the grain structure of the product and makes the conveying parts inside more dense. .
The appearance of the product was also better, and its performance was further enhanced. Ji Donglai finished all arrangements and handed the phone to He Xiaolong. He went to the yard and started working on the New Year's Eve meals with a group of workers.
No one expected that the small boss Ji Donglai was so kind to the workers. Several workers who had drunk too much got up and started busying themselves. Those who could not cook drove to the factory to find some wood and started chopping firewood.
Soon the big oil drum in the yard started to light up the fire, and the frying and frying started.
"Boss, we have never seen a boss like you. He is not at home to celebrate the Chinese New Year with his family but still spends the Chinese New Year with us gentlemen. Let's take a break!"
Watching Ji Donglai start to help the group of people cook, Lao Wu gave Ji Donglai a bottle of beer. Now Lao Wu has more than 30 permanent workers and at least 60 temporary workers with contact information. , available for duty at any time.
Ji Donglai was not polite. He touched the wine bottle with several people around him, raised his head, and drank half of the bottle.
"My boss is happy, let's do it!"
"Dry!"
"Control the amount of drinking you drink. During the Chinese New Year, let the wine melt away all these bad things!"
"okay!"
There were so many people living there that the workers temporarily put iron frame beds together to form tables. Ji Donglai, as the boss, toasted to the workers one by one. Although he only had a simple relationship with most of these people, Ji Donglai Dong Lai can call almost everyone by name.
With Ji Donglai's guidance, these rough guys drank happily. Many people who usually had small conflicts in their hearts were relieved by a few glasses of wine.
He Xiaolong only had two glasses of wine. Du Jingbiao's delivery truck entered the factory. He Xiaolong went directly to work with a worker. After half an o'clock, the lathe worker who came for support came over, and He Xiaolong followed closely. Went to the reception.
all
That afternoon, the workers were drunk. Only He Xiaolong stayed awake, and the work in the workshop began to proceed in an orderly manner.
Especially for the reducing machine, Ji Donglai directly asked He Xiaolong to dismantle the hydraulic station of one of the presses. The mold opening was very simple, the annealing material was divided into pieces and oil quenched.
Then came the installation and debugging. Ji Donglai followed him until about seven o'clock in the evening. He had already sobered up and Cui Mingyan's call came.
"Boss, now that the money has arrived, production can be arranged here!"
On the other end of the phone, Cui Mingyan had a blushing face and was wearing a white down jacket. The aroma of red wine she had just drank was spraying from her mouth. Ji Dong turned around and walked out of the workshop and chatted with the other party for a long time. It was not until Cui Mingyan said she was cold that she hung up. Telephone.
"Don't worry, I'll leave this to you!"
Looking at the work in the workshop starting to run in an orderly manner, Ji Donglai patted He Xiaolong on the shoulder, feeling satisfied.
"Brother Ji, come home for the New Year! If you can come and see these people, all of us will remember it and treat our whole family well!"
He Xiaolong rubbed his hands. The temperature on New Year's Eve was unbearable, especially in such a large workshop with only a few machines working. He felt cold just thinking about it.
"Okay, work hard with the factory, and try to open another workshop next year. You will be responsible for it!"
Seeing He Xiaolong working so hard, Ji Donglai said seemingly unintentionally, and then before the other party could react, Ji Donglai had already got on the car. Behind him, He Xiaolong felt ecstatic in his heart and waved to Ji Donglai frantically.
On New Year's Eve, there were almost no cars on the road. Ji Donglai drove all the way, and it was almost midnight when he got home.
Ji Ping and his wife were watching the Spring Festival Gala with Ji Heng and others in front of the TV. The family was having a good time. Ning Caiyun looked towards the door from time to time. Whenever there was light, Ning Caiyun would look at it for a while, but Ji Ping didn't even notice. To point it out, I was actually worried about Ji Donglai's safety.
Every time Ji Donglai goes out, their hearts are hanging. No one knows whether Ji Donglai will come back or not.
As parents, deep down in their hearts they hope that their son can celebrate the New Year at home, but considering that Ji Donglai is busy for the future, they have to accept that their son comes and goes in a hurry.
The changes of this era have left all Chinese parents at a loss, including Ji Ping and Ji Donglai. No one knows what the employment environment will be like tomorrow and whether what happened to them will be their turn to the next generation.
Ji Donglai spoke English very well. Although neither of them spoke it, they still hoped from the bottom of their hearts that their son could go out and have a look. Everyone in Jiang Xue's family was busy working. Ji Ping and his wife saw this and felt alive.
