Chapter 256 A Gift for Zheng Liangshu

Just when Xie Jianye ran excitedly to see his new home, in the afternoon, Zheng Liangshu brought two people to Gao Zhendong's office.

Zheng Liangshu had many dealings with Gao Zhendong, but he had few opportunities to come to Gao Zhendong's office. The only time he came to Gao Zhendong was when he delivered a "It's time to get married" briefcase from the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building.

Several people sat down, and Zheng Liangshu first communicated with Gao Zhendong about the urea steel issue. Gao Zhendong did not care about it after he developed the urea steel, but this steel brought great economic benefits to the Beijing Iron and Steel Plant and the Third Steel Rolling Plant.

It does not mean that under a planned economy we only need to produce according to the plan and there is no economic benefit involved. In fact, the influence of the economy has always existed.

The Russian BMP-2 took a lot of effort to come out after the BMP-1. One of the reasons was the dispute between the research plant of BMP-1 and the final production plant, and the research plant did not get the biggest piece of the pie in BMP-1 production.

The application of urea steel in China has not yet been promoted, because the urea industrialization test project is still in pilot operation and has not yet ended. The three-step process of pilot - summary - promotion is also our usual method for such far-reaching matters. However, the production of urea steel has been proceeding at a high speed.

The reason is simple. Urea industrialization tests must be successful. It is not a bad idea to produce a batch first. After all, once the test is successful, the use of urea steel will increase sharply. And it is also good to produce a batch first to release stress. The stress release time of structural steel is not short.

Moreover, urea steel is still exported in large quantities, which means that production cannot be stopped.

Right at the Jinggang Plant, they are already planning to build a larger AOD workshop, as the original one is not enough.

The Third Steel Rolling Mill is also cooperating with the Beijing Steel Plant to convert and transform its production lines, converting some of its production lines to meet the needs of urea steel plate rolling.

Therefore, as the person in charge of the AOD workshop, it was natural for Zheng Liangshu to visit the Beijing Steel Rolling Mill after taking office. It was just that other people in their factory did not expect that he had other ideas.

After chatting with Gao Zhendong about daily work for a while, Zheng Liangshu mentioned a problem that Gao Zhendong had discovered some time ago: "Zhendong, the comrades in the north seem to be very interested in our AOD workshop. You may also want to pay attention to it in your factory."

As the person in charge of the AOD workshop, Zheng Liangshu must have been informed that someone was interested in this workshop. Zheng Liangshu could also guess that the ultimate goal of others was actually closely related to Gao Zhendong himself. Therefore, regardless of whether Gao Zhendong discovered it or not, he had the obligation to remind them.

Gao Zhendong thought of the beautiful translator from Lubyanka, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, we also found it, but it's not a big problem, someone is dealing with it."

Zheng Liangshu did not ask who was dealing with such a stupid problem, but just smiled and said, "Well, that's good. I guess they are worried about the foreign exchange. Haha, I didn't expect that there would be a day when they would be worried about the foreign exchange."

After saying this, Zheng Liangshu asked about the most important thing of his trip this time.

"Zhendong, I just took office. As for production, the previous ones have been sorted out. I just need to follow the rules. There is no clue about new products for the time being. Do you have any suitable projects? We can cooperate well like we did with urea steel and let other factories see the strength of our two rolling mills in Beijing."

Just as Gao Zhendong once told him, in addition to producing urea steel, the AOD workshop also undertakes some scientific research tasks.

For him, sitting on the merits of his predecessors and just maintaining the status quo, doing things steadily and step by step is obviously not what he wants. He hopes to have something eye-catching that can be produced quickly to quickly establish his prestige and status at the grassroots level.

In a manufacturing enterprise like the Beijing Steel Plant, it takes time and a price for the parachuted troops sent out by ministries and commissions to gain a foothold. It's not that others don't cooperate, but that he doesn't have convincing results, and he is inevitably hesitant when carrying out a lot of work. He wants to shorten this time.

Gao Zhendong smiled. He had already prepared for Zheng Liangshu.

Zheng Liangshu is about ten years older than him, so they can basically be considered of the same age group. They can work together for a long time. Once he has identified the right person, he should help him thoroughly.

After hearing what Zheng Liangshu said, Gao Zhendong hadn't replied yet, but the two people he brought with him were all surprised. Let's not talk about how the people from this department are in production management and technology, but their status is different. When they come to the steel rolling mill, they can directly ask for projects.

The Rolling Mill and the Beijing Steel Mill are two different factories. If there is no requirement from above, it is generally unlikely that they would cooperate on a project. Can't the other factory handle it well internally?

As for whether the projects you can get are good or not, there is no need to worry about it. Look at Director Gao’s last cooperation with our Beijing Steel Plant. In just one or two months, he won two Liehuo Science and Technology Awards for Beijing Steel Plant, one first prize and one second prize. He himself made a big splash at the Liehuo Science and Technology Award Ceremony, winning seven awards. Even in the wholesale business, he doesn’t do that.

Not to mention that the factory is now sending people to the third rolling mill to train Director Gao on the production of the ESR process improved by him. That process can be used to refine some special steels, and many steel mills across the country are coming here to learn from it.

Before the two of them finished their joy, they saw Director Gao looking at them with a smile: "Comrades, I'm sorry, I may have to ask you to step aside for a while. It's not that I'm stingy, but there are regulations for the things involved."

After hearing what Gao Zhendong said, the two were not angry, but very happy. They knew with their buttocks that something so mysterious must be a good thing. The two stood up with a smile and walked out of the office.

Zheng Liangshu was also surprised. He said that Zhendong was a very honest man and had prepared such a big gift for his promotion.

For him, no gift could compare to Gao Zhendong's strong support in his work.

But what he didn't know was that Gao Zhendong prepared not one gift, but three.

That’s right. What Gao Zhendong prepared were the three new types of steel needed for the Liugong Institute of Beijing University of Technology to develop team weapons: bayonet, barrel, and automatic.

There is no point in doing this thing by ourselves, as it will only take up time. And even if the steel rolling mill does it, it will have to be transferred to another factory, which doesn't make much sense either. So, it is better to hand it over to Zheng Liangshu and let him do it at the Beijing Steel Plant.

First, it is a match for his major. Second, it is a great help to Zheng Liangshu who has just arrived. Third, it happens to solve the problem of these three steels occupying his time and energy. It is perfect.

As for himself and the Third Steel Rolling Mill, they only have a part of the reputation, and this reputation is not given for nothing. He directly wrote down the proportions, processes and heat treatments of the three types of steel. Basically, Beijing Steel Mill is only responsible for the specific verification and implementation.

He took out a piece of paper and said to Zheng Liangshu, "Here are three new types of steel, which are used for our new weapons. I can't tell you what kind of weapons they are used for now. As for the more specific ratios, processes and heat treatment methods, I can't tell you according to regulations before your factory decides to cooperate. I can only give you so much now. Go back to the factory and report to them. If your factory is interested, we can talk about the rest later."

The paper simply wrote the characteristics and requirements of the three new steels. Zheng Liangshu took it with a happy face. This surprise was a bit big. He was not dissatisfied with Gao Zhendong's caution. This was good for everyone.

As for whether the factory would do this, he was not worried at all. Director Tan had told him last time that he should dig for treasures from Director Gao and support the factory's work.

After taking a quick look, he immediately said, "Zhendong, I will report this matter when I return to the factory. I will bring you the exact answer by next Monday at the latest. I estimate that it is 80% accurate, haha."

Then, he handed the paper back to Gao Zhendong. He didn't even want to take it away. This thing was too hot to handle. He had to report back to the factory. What Gao Zhendong had said just now was enough. Even if Zheng Liangshu only reported verbally about the matters related to him, the factory would attach great importance to it.

He invited the two comrades who were waiting outside the door in, and they chatted for a while. Zheng Liangshu left the Third Steel Rolling Mill happily with huge gains.

Gao Zhendong also packed up his things after get off work and went straight to Lou's house. Their house has now become a construction site. Lou Xiao'e went back to her parents' home in the morning, and Gao Zhendong also went there to live.

At this time, Xie Jianye and his wife were looking at the two houses to the north of Gao Zhendong's house.

Xie Jianye finished the formalities in the afternoon. He had not yet officially started work, so he took advantage of this time to go to Chen Yuehong's workplace to find his wife and send her a big message.

Chen Yuehong was greatly surprised when Xie Jianye told her that the factory was allocating houses. She had been worried about the inconveniences of living in a single room in the dormitory, but she didn't expect that Xie Jianye had joined such a fantastic company. What they didn't know was that in a few decades, this would be worth hundreds of millions.

Looking at the two rooms in front of them, the couple's faces were filled with excitement. Although this place was a bit far from Chen Yuehong's workplace, Chen Yuehong didn't care at all. Compared with the two houses, this distance was nothing!
Let’s not talk about the size of the factory dormitories. First of all, they are not allocated to individuals, and this aspect is surpassed by the two rooms in the yard.

"Jianye, pinch me~~~"

Xie Jianye turned to look at her, with a puzzled look on his face: "Are you sick?"

"No, I just want to confirm whether I am dreaming or not."

Xie Jianye smiled and said, "I'm not dreaming. This is really our house. We have to thank Platoon Leader Gao."

Speaking of this, Xie Jianye felt quite regretful that he was not able to share this happy event with Gao Zhendong at the first time. They will be neighbors from now on, haha.

Something is being installed at Platoon Leader Gao's house today. He and his wife are not at home. It is probably inconvenient to stay at the house because of the construction, so they went to live at their father-in-law's house.
