Chapter 360 The Armory Factory (2)

Ma Qian'an and Liu Ding exchanged their opinions briefly and learned that Liu Ding had been conveyed and that he knew no less than himself. At least Liu Ding had already known Ma Zhanshan's new position and the tasks he was about to undertake.

While the guest and the host were chatting, the office was not quiet. Every few minutes, a phone call would come in to ask for instructions or report on work. Occasionally, there would be employees who rushed in to meet the factory director.

It is not easy to manage a large factory with 30,000 people. According to Liu Ding, the director of the Soviet factory, Kirinakov, basically did not interfere in administrative management matters and put a lot of work on Liu Ding.

When he heard the old man Kirienakov being lazy, Ma Qian'an jokingly said, "Where is this old man? I'm not going to be the one who is the boss. I'll train him later."

Liu Ding waved his hand and replied indifferently: "Dora, I can stand it. Kirienkov used to only manage the research institute and never take care of this big factory. At the beginning, the old man was very confident, but he became a bear in a few days. He used the excuse of his head pain and delegating power. This is also good. He worked on his skills and I did my management. Now he is very happy to cooperate. If he comes back to participate in the management, he will be annoyed to the old man to death."

After saying that, Liu Ding suggested that everyone visit the factory after breakfast, saying that since they are here, take a look, leave an intuitive impression, and report to the leaders of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces when they return to China, so that they can be happy.

Ma Qian'an was thinking this way. Everyone had a simple breakfast in the restaurant. Everyone was a soldier and they ate very quickly.

While having dinner, Ma Qian'an found several familiar faces in a large restaurant. These people were from the Star Singapore Chen Group, and they must be representing the investors here to contact various matters.

Liu Ding found that Ma Qian'an stared at the people from the Chen Group and answered his questions and answered them in time.

There are now all kinds of people in the factory. In addition to Russians, there are young Chinese in Southeast Asia, retired American engineers, senior technicians, managers and resident personnel sent by the Chen Group, trainees transferred from the Taihang Mountain Military Engineering School, and Ansai Steel Factory sent to learn technicians. The largest part of the Chinese are those workers involved in the construction of the factory. After the factory is completed, most of the laborers with a relatively flexible mind stayed to act as basic workers.

Some workshops in the factory implement three shifts, and some implement two shifts. There is a day off every month, a meager salary and a rationed food.

Ma Qian'an said nothing, and Ma Zhanshan shook his head and said it was incredible.

"Director Liu, you said that the Chinese workers in this factory are all laborers? Can they do it? No one is allowed to produce waste?"

Liu Ding smiled and explained to Ma Zhanshan, "Our training mechanism is very good. There are short-term training before taking up the job. Chief Ma, don't look down on workers. There are many capable people there. In addition, we always believe that we must believe in the enthusiasm and wisdom of the working people. As long as they stimulate their enthusiasm, they will create miracles. I am not idealistic. This is called subjective initiative. I will take Chief Ma to see later. You will see what the Soviet staff look like. They have many half-tired children and women. We are all men, and can we still be worse than them? Even if it is worse, it is not much worse."

What idealistic and subjective initiative? Ma Zhanshan blinked and couldn't handle the conversation. Liu Ding, who seemed rough, was quite good at scattering, and I didn't understand what he said! But it was a new thing to say that the SL people brought all the women and children to the worker's post. Can old women still operate machines?

Everyone was hustling to the end. Ma Qian'an was seen by several people from the Chen group. Everyone rushed forward and greeted him enthusiastically, including Jiang Gancai. Ma Qian'an thought of the spoof code he had given him, and couldn't hold back his heart. He burst out laughing and held Jiang Gancai's greeting, "Here are you here?"

Jiang Gancai's face turned red and he was not willing to be outdone, "Wow! I won't say that the sir is here too, even if I beat him to death?"

The two of them laughed. The code name was long outdated and had become a topic of joking with each other.

Jiang Gancai belongs to the factory logistics department and is responsible for managing the piles of raw materials.

Another man saw the excitement here, and was not willing to be outdone and squeezed over. After squeezing in, he squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Qian'an, then shook his "big traitor's head" and screamed in a sharp voice: "Oh, isn't this that person? Xiaoma! Captain Xiaoma, do you still remember me? I, Jin Kezhi! You took me to Moscow."

You bird man! Ma Qian'an glared at him, is your bad performance comparable to me? I know you are Jin Kezhi, you didn't see me when you met face to face just now. The relationship has only been less than two years, and I have forgotten me. Have I changed a lot?

Jin Kezhi was once a member of the walkie-phone team that Ma Qian'an first started. He followed Ma Qian'an to Moscow to promote walkie-phones. He studied physics himself, but he was obviously more interested in finance and once explained the exchange rate issue in an expert tone. After Ma Qian'an flew from Moscow to Yan'an, the two broke off contact and heard that this guy was taken over by Wei Zhengmin.

Seeing that Jin Kezhi stared at a golden star on his seal, Ma Qian'an was teasing again. Anyway, Jin Kezhi was thick-skinned, so teasing him would also enhance his feelings.

"Xiao Jin! What are you doing now? Are you still working as a correspondent with Secretary Wei? Pay attention, if you have to show progress, if others have made progress, it would be bad if you don't make progress."

Ma Qian'an said, and even deliberately owed his body, exposing the major general's epaulette to Jin Kezhi.

"Oh! You are not an ordinary person, I read that right, you have become a major."

Jin Kezhi, the general of the military rank blind, called Major General the Major and surrendered to Ma Qian'an directly, making Ma Qian'an very embarrassed. It should be! Who told you to be so bad, right?

"Haha, you kid...hehe, you kid!" Ma Qian'an used his index finger to point to Jin Kezhi, "Uh, it's still so funny!"

After "praise" Jin Kezhi, Ma Qian'an hurriedly called everyone to visit the factory, left Jin Kezhi and stood by the table. Jin Kezhi blinked his innocent big eyes and shouted to Ma Qian'an's back: "Captain Ma, I'm not a communications officer now. Secretary Wei's keen eyes and identifies talents. I am now the Deputy Minister of Finance. If you have any questions, please say something!"

Ma Qian'an replied to him in the long run: "I know, you're busy with your own business, don't make the mistake of the money that people have worked hard to invest in!"

What? This guy has become the deputy director of the Finance Department? He is promoted quite quickly. If he had known it, it would be great if I would have had sex with Secretary Wei.

Jin Kezhi is not familiar with the worldly style, so she is quite cute! Ma Qian'an comforted himself, turned his head and saw Jin Kezhi holding Li Siqing who was behind him again and couldn't help but smile.

Jin Kezhi knew Li Siqing. He knew Li Siqing, a great figure in the labor camp. Seeing that Li Siqing was about to leave, he couldn't help but hold him involuntarily: "Hey, Siqing, Siqing, why are you anxious? I didn't see you just now, I'll be able to knock you off before leaving, so why do I drink a glass of water?"

"I said Xiao Jinzi, are you color blind? Can't you see yellow and white colors?" Seeing that Li Siqing could not get rid of Jin Kezhi, he gently put his hand on Jin Kezhi's face and pushed his face towards his epaulette, "What are my military ranks?"

"Oh! You are not simple either. You are also a major like Captain Ma? Oh no, weren't you the major in the first place?"

Li Siqing has also been petrified. He is really color-blind and cannot tell the color. Is it a star on the epaulette? He thinks it is the major?

Li Siqing hurriedly left and caught up with Ma Qian'an's team.

When Liu Ding led everyone to the door of the research room, he was called away by the staff who rushed over. Unfortunately, Ma Qian'an had to follow Jiang Gan and he led everyone to continue the tour.

The scientific research department is very large, with Chinese, Russians, and white-haired Americans inside. These retired American engineers were hired by Chen Jiashen Li to make use of their remaining energy.

Many technicians were in and out in a very busy situation. In addition to this large workshop-style scientific research room, there was a smaller classroom next to it. A group of Chinese "students" were concentrating on listening to an old man on the podium lecture. A young man who was obviously a Chinese overseas in Southeast Asia served as the translator.

Jiang Gancai introduced to everyone standing at the door: "This is Mr. Douglas, an old military engineer, we will train engineers for us."

Well, Ma Qian'an nodded. Douglas should be the old man from the United States who has made use of his remaining energy. His wages are definitely not low, but they are worth it. Ma Qian'an remembered a famous saying in later generations: What is the most expensive in the 21st century? Talent! Talent is the most expensive! Such a flow-based training method should be able to train some engineers or senior technicians for us.

I haven't met the old man Kirienkov yet. I heard from Liu Ding that Kirienkov often sees the dragon and doesn't see the tail. It's not that there are major issues to discuss. The old man basically won't appear in the factory director's office. The old man walked around in several places, a scientific research room, a workshop, a weapon trial production site. In short, if you want to find him, in less than an hour, without making more than a dozen calls, you can't even find where the old man is now.

Kanming had to assign a communicator to the old man and follow him with a walkie-talkie on his back. Ma Qian'an walked several places but didn't find out where Kirienenkov was appearing. He couldn't help but have a "malicious" solution in his mind.

The group entered an extra-large workshop again, in which various machine tools roared, lathes, planers, milling machines, punching machines, grinders, drilling machines, boring machines, gear hobbing machines, riveting machines, bending machines, etc., all of which were all serious and busy. The workers were operating the machines seriously and producing weapon parts.

Ma Zhanshan observed it for a while and believed what Liu Ding said just now. It turned out that Chinese workers were very good at operating. After asking them, some of them were farmers who dug soil in Dongning a few months ago. Now they are loading parts on the lathe and their hands are very flexible.

Also, oh! It’s really a half-grown Russian child and old women! They all went into battle. Ma Zhanshan saw another phenomenon that Liu Ding mentioned.

It seems that Russia's labor force is really tight. Middle-aged men go to war, and the childbirth needs to be maintained by women and children.

A Russian girl with a tender face of about 15 or 6 years old was operating a punch to bending a part. When she saw a group of people appearing in front of her workbench and blocking the way to get the material, she couldn't help but look up and stare at them with a pretty little face with an unhappy look, "Everything is for the front line, please don't disturb my work!"

Looking at this ordinary girl who was sweating and full of perseverance in the workshop that was not warm, who was supposed to sit in a bright classroom for class but carried the burden of childbirth on her back with her tender shoulders, everyone had to understand the unyielding will of war and tenacious national spirit of the ordinary people.
