Research Institute. Printing Factory!
Early in the morning, the leaders of several research institutes, including Zhou Yang, all came to the printing factory!
Because today is the first day of trial production in the printing factory, everyone wants to see the effect.
When everyone came to the printing factory, their first impression was that this small, run-down factory established on a whim by the director was really a bit shabby.
Printing plants in other places generally have several workshops, such as machine printing workshops, plate making workshops, binding workshops, etc. Some large printing plants even have supporting facilities such as staff dormitories, restaurants, and bathhouses.
But Babaoliang Printing Factory is very "simple". All machines and equipment are arranged in a large industrial factory. Because the internal space is not divided, all workshops are actually in one space.
Furthermore, there are really too few people in the printing factory. From the factory director to ordinary employees, there are only more than 20 people in total.
Fortunately, the factory has just been established and there is not much business. The employees can slowly solve the problem.
In the machine-printing workshop, Zhou Yang looked at the factory director Chen Shang next to him and asked: "Old Chen, are the paper patterns finished?"
"The engraving is done. For this paper pattern, we worked overtime until the early morning last night to finish it!" Chen Shang said.
"Thank you for your hard work! Let's get started!"
"OK!"
With Chen Shang's coordination and command, more than 20 employees all entered the workplace.
Then the machine was started and trial production in the printing plant began.
The first printing task Zhou Yang gave to the printing factory was the "888 Type Artillery Reconnaissance Radar Instructions" written by Mr. Guo. The radar's instructions were not like the instructions for home appliances in ordinary people's homes. They were very complicated.
The entire "Instruction Manual" has more than a hundred pages, and when bound, it becomes a book that is not too thick.
As the machine buzzed, sheets of white paper were rolled into the machine, and when they came out, there were a lot of writing on them.
It has to be said that Mr. Nie was very attentive to Zhou Yang's requirements, and the equipment he got for them was not that old-fashioned machine.
As far as the printing press is concerned, it is the latest four-color split offset printing machine, equipped with a four-color split offset printing automatic cutter.
In addition, it is also equipped with 3 staplers, 2 page scrapers, 1 sewing machine, 2 binding machines, etc.
Precisely because these equipments are more advanced and require less labor, even with just over twenty people, Chen Shang and others can barely keep the printing plant running.
The machine printed very quickly, and soon the "Artillery Reconnaissance Radar Instructions" was printed.
Then the workers bind the cut papers, and a complete book is completely offline.
When the first book came off the production line, everyone in the factory was excited.
Chen Shang immediately stepped forward and showed Zhou Yang this landmark "Instructions".
Zhou Yang took the book and looked through it carefully, and found that the handwriting of the printed book was clear, the size was appropriate, and the pages were very neat, with no scratches, dog-ears, broken pages, etc.
“The quality of the book is good and fully meets the standards!”
Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, the staff and cadres of the printing factory immediately burst into cheers.
After a few days of busy work, I finally have the results, so naturally I am happy!
"Old Chen, your next task is to improve the various departments of the printing factory and organize production. I will hand over the specific tasks to you later!" Zhou Yang said.
"Director, we are short of machinery, equipment and factory buildings, but we are short of workers. You have to think of a solution for this!" Chen Shangdao.
“Don’t worry about the workers’ matter, I will take care of it myself!”
"good!"
........
After coming out of the printing factory, Zhou Yang returned to his office in a happy mood.
Although the printing factory looks a bit shabby now, it can be seen that Lao Chen and his colleagues have good business capabilities.
Now as long as the workers are in place, the printing plant will be on the right track and become a golden chicken laying eggs for the institute.
It's not that Zhou Yang loves money, but the general environment is such that he must prepare for a rainy day.
At present, various scientific research institutions and military industrial units in the country are all run by state financial allocations, so there is no need to worry about money.
Especially for research institutes like theirs, with the strong support of the Equipment Department, life should be very smooth in the short term.
But Zhou Yang knew that such good days would not last long.
In the near future, the country will make major adjustments to its national development strategy and propose a development strategy centered on economic construction. Correspondingly, it will formulate the policy of "integrating military and civilian industries" in the national defense science and technology industry and implement military-civilian integration. Convert people.
Its core is to require the national defense science and technology industry to transform from simply serving national defense to simultaneously serving industry, agriculture, science and technology, and national defense modernization.
To put it bluntly, it is to let powerful military-industrial units make their own money. At the very least, you have to make the bulk of the scientific research funds yourself, and the state will bear a small part for you at most.
For example, Shancheng Changan Group, which once produced bullets, has become the largest mini-car production base in China, Bingcheng Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd. has become the largest mini-bus production base, and Sichuan Changhong Group has become the largest color TV manufacturing base.
There are also the largest civilian aircraft, ship and engine production bases in the country, and many of the best in the country come from military industrial enterprises.
We are familiar with Northern Benz Heavy Duty Truck, Aircraft Industry Group, Aerospace Zhonghui, Rocket Co., Ltd., China Optics Group, Kangtuo Infrared, Jiuyuan Yinhai, Lucai New Materials, Jiuzhiyang, Huazhou Emergency, AVIC Electronic Measurement, AVIC Large groups such as optoelectronics and aerospace communications are all produced by military-industrial enterprises.
In such a general environment, if the Babaoliang Research Institute wants to develop and grow, it cannot do without its own channels for making money.
On the one hand, the printing factory was for the institute's own needs, and on the other hand, Zhou Yang wanted to make a quick buck to prepare for future plans.
But no matter what you do, no one can do it.
Since the research institute is a secret unit, they cannot recruit workers at will and must obtain the consent of the superior department.
After thinking about it again and again, Zhou Yang immediately dialed Qingcheng's phone number!
After a tedious process, Zhou Yang finally contacted Nie Nansun.
"Mr. Nie, I am Zhou Yang!"
"Why did you remember to call me?"
"Mr. Nie, our printing factory has been opened. Now we are short of manpower. Please think of a way!" Zhou Yang said.
"You can make things difficult for us. If you want scientific research talents, I can get some for you, but when it comes to ordinary workers, there's really nothing we can do about it!" Nie Nansun said.
"Can you transfer some more from other military factories?"
In order to set up the final assembly workshop of the artillery reconnaissance radar, the Equipment Department transferred 300 people to the Babaoliang Research Institute at one time, all of whom were transferred from various arsenals.
"This is impossible. Do you know how troublesome it is to send a worker to your place? This is definitely not possible?"
"what is it now?"
Nie Nansun on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then asked: "How many people do you estimate we will need?"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "A conservative estimate, at least 100 people!"
"If a hundred people can solve the problem, you can contact the local armed forces!" Nie Nansun said.
"Ministry of Arms?"
"Yes, many soldiers retire every year. You can recruit these people to come over!"
Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said immediately: "This is a good idea!"
At this time, Nie Nansun suggested again: "But your place is a secret unit after all. It's obviously not good to have so many irrelevant people in!"
"For the sake of safety, it is best for your printing house to be independent from the research institute. It will be more convenient for whatever you do in the future!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "I have the same idea, I will plan this matter carefully!"
In fact, Mr. Nie didn't say anything, but Zhou Yang also had this idea.
And in his plan, not only the printing plant will become independent, but also the radar assembly plant in the future.
In addition, all the factories and enterprises established by the Babaoliang Research Institute in the future are also operated independently and are not mixed with the research institute.
While Zhou Yang was deep in thought, Nie Nansun said again: "By the way, I have something to inform you. The time for the meeting has been set!"
"When?"
"January 28th, the place is in Qingcheng, you better come early then!"
"OK!"
Then the two chatted about some details of the meeting, and then Zhou Yang hung up the phone!
