Chapter 465: We must promote comrades
All the masters, big and small, were happy. This was the most righteous aspect of Chief Engineer Gao.
Let’s not talk about other benefits for now, as they are regulated by regulations. But apart from these, who doesn’t want to become famous, save face in front of relatives and friends, and brag in front of colleagues from other units?
It is not a bad thing for a person to seek fame. As long as the means of gaining fame are legitimate, it is also a motivation, and a very pure motivation.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: You're right, and it's pretty damn high level.
I know that I cannot compare with Chief Engineer Gao in terms of skills and achievements, but being able to be broadcast on the radio within the factory is also very good and prestigious.
There are many comrades who are willing to take ten days or half a month's salary in exchange for a chance to be on the radio, especially these senior technicians who have no worries about food and clothing. It would be so great to be able to show their faces in front of the whole factory. They work diligently to build society, and apart from food, clothing, housing and transportation, isn't it relying on this?
Let’s not talk about anything else. When a boy or girl goes out to date, the matchmaker says, “Let me tell you, this family is impeccable, they have good conditions, and the old man in the family is the kind who gets broadcast on the factory radio to announce the good news.” Then see what the other person thinks. At least in terms of family conditions, there is a high probability that the other person will not have any doubts.
Or, "This girl is good. She follows her master and is often praised by the factory on the radio." This is half the truth. Even if it is Qin Huairu, people still look at her with a higher regard. As for whether it happens often, we can talk about it later. Anyway, it is true.
When neighbors have a quarrel, as soon as they start to say, "My old man was praised on the radio at the factory, why would he care about your trivial matters?" they are simply taking the moral high ground.
The atmosphere in the workshop was full of jubilation. Some comrades even carefully straightened their collars, stretched their sleeves, aligned their lapels, and patted their shoes. After they were done, they rubbed some grease on their hands and wiped their hair. What if they wanted to take pictures? Anyway, the female apprentices taught by the masters at least washed their faces.
Gao Zhendong saw it all, but said nothing happily. It doesn't matter whether he keeps his clothes as they are or shows his high spirits.
After a while, three comrades from the Propaganda Department came over. Just as the comrades had expected, one was responsible for the manuscript and two were responsible for taking photos. The head of the Third Branch Factory personally asked them to come over, so it must be a big deal.
After a burst of crackling lights and taking a lot of photos, the writer from the Propaganda Department found Gao Zhendong. They had to interview him first, otherwise they wouldn't know what to write.
Gao Zhendong waved his hand and said, "You don't need to interview me too much about this matter. You can interview these masters. They did it. But there is one thing you must highlight in the manuscript. This time, the comrades have exceeded the task, and the main indicators of the results have greatly exceeded the original plan, and the indicators required for the next generation of technology have been achieved ahead of schedule!"
The writer's eyes lit up immediately, and he liked to write this kind of typical deeds of excellent achievements and over-fulfillment. The leaders and the masses could get whatever they wanted to see, and there would definitely be no problems. It was also good material for them to complete their work tasks.
"Okay, okay, Chief Engineer Gao, don't worry, I will present the glorious deeds of all your comrades truthfully." Penholder pushed his glasses and said happily.
Gao Zhendong nodded. "After you finish the interview here, go to Director Yan to collect some materials. After you finish writing, give it to Xiao Li in the confidential room of the branch factory. He will organize people to review it first to avoid any content that violates discipline. When the time comes, I will sign it, and you can take it back and submit it to the newsletter magazine of the department in addition to the factory."
The pen holder's voice trembled suddenly. Fortunately, he was on duty in the office today, otherwise this big pie would have been missed.
As the department responsible for publicity, they also have the task of publishing articles. However, it is not easy to publish an article in the department's newsletter magazine. Even if they finally get one or a few articles published, they are not enough to get points.
The ministry's newsletter magazine is published only once a month, and there are only a few articles in each issue. In addition to the ministry's directly affiliated units, there are also many institutes, factories and mines under the ministry, and they are all vying for a place.
An average propaganda officer may not even have his or her name attached to an article in a year.
Gao Zhendong's words basically guaranteed him a job in the department's newsletter. How could he not be overjoyed? As for the possibility of not being able to be included in the department's newsletter, haha, Director Yang might have been a little nervous when he said this, but when Chief Engineer Gao of the Third Factory said this, it was basically set in stone.
"Thank you, thank you, Chief Engineer Gao. I will definitely report the advanced deeds of our comrades!"
This is why, when encountering major projects in most units, some personnel will, even if they don't want to cooperate, at most refuse to provide support or make a few remarks, but they generally dare not to trip others up, because a successful large project involves the interests of too many people.
"Well, go ahead and get busy. Remember, the report should showcase the styles of each chef as comprehensively as possible." The meaning is very clear. Everything that can be mentioned should be mentioned, at least the master chef should not be missed.
The propaganda officer got the opportunity and went to the interview with great confidence. The other comrades were also secretly happy after hearing what Gao Zhendong said. Hey, there is a possibility of being published in the department's magazine, which would be amazing.
All the masters are happy, and all the apprentices are happy too. If the master becomes famous, then wouldn't they also become famous?
Gao Zhendong's arrangement made everyone happy.
The news spread quickly. Even before the loudspeaker reported it in the afternoon, everyone in the factory knew that the third branch factory must have produced new results.
"The Third Branch should have new achievements."
"How do you know? I didn't hear it on the radio."
"When I was getting lunch in the cafeteria at noon, I saw the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders of the Third Branch Factory leading a group of senior workers and their apprentices to the small cafeteria."
"Oh, that's for sure. The Three-Division Factory tradition is true." "Tell me, what do you think of the female apprentice named Qin from the old eighth-level Master Yi?"
"Why do you always think so? What the hell are you dreaming about? How can someone like you?"
"What's wrong? Is it illegal to think about it?"
"..."
But by the time it was almost time to get off work, they had a rough idea of what was going on.
The loudspeakers in the factory began to broadcast the good news, and this time the good news was different from the usual ones involving the third branch factory, in that there were a lot of people.
"... After long-term efforts, close cooperation, mutual support and collective wisdom, the comrades of the Third Branch and various departments of our factory have successfully trial-produced an important component of the core equipment of a major project - a high-standard workpiece table... During the trial production process, various types of work..."
I am still confused about what it is. The term "high-standard workbench" is too broad. Even the "high standard" is confusing. But I can tell that this thing is very important.
This time, the secretary of the Propaganda Department praised all the participating trades. His writing was very good. Although due to the word limit, not much was written about each trade, his role in the subject was highlighted in just a few words. There were many words like "combination of trades", "master and apprentice working together", "unity of purpose" and "cross-integration".
In a nutshell, the senior technicians in the factory, together with their apprentices, have made great efforts in this matter!
After hearing this, the comrades in the factory expressed their pride in the factory and their admiration for the senior technicians. Do you know what an "eighth-level worker" is? Let's take a look.
Not to mention those who participated in the project, even the senior workers above level 7 who did not participate in the project felt proud. Humph, it was just that I was not picked. If I was picked, I would have done a better job than them.
Liu Haizhong was still patrolling the factory with his red armband on. When he heard the broadcast, he sneered, "Tsk."
However, he only dared to think about this in his mind.
Having said that, Liu Haizhong couldn't help himself when he met Qin Huairu when he returned home from get off work.
"Qin Huairu, you guys are participating in an incredible project this time. Why is there such a big fuss? Everyone in the factory is praising Lao Yi. This time, I'm afraid you'll win a prize at the end of the year, right?"
Qin Huairu smiled as a response to Liu Haizhong's words, but didn't say anything.
Too much talk will lead to mistakes. The work of the Sanfen Factory is not about trivial matters. It is best not to speak and just smile.
The next day, before lunch, the 17th Machinery Department received news that the third branch of the third rolling mill had produced a workpiece table. The department's newsletter magazine had not yet been published, but this did not prevent the third rolling mill from reporting the news to the department first.
According to convention, news related to Gao Zhendong must be delivered to the leaders as soon as possible. He was happy holding the report from the Third Rolling Mill.
He wrote the word "read" and said to Secretary Sun, "Send it to the 12th Ministry of Machinery immediately, haha."
When the leader of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building received this document, he looked at the circled word "read" by the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building, and his face was full of laughter and tears.
"This old man is showing off in front of me again!"
Gao Zhendong developed another device related to integrated circuits, and the 17th Ministry of Machine Building passed the news on immediately. In addition to announcing the good news, the circled message seemed to show off a bit.
Although I was a little depressed, I changed my mind and thought, you have the face and I have the substance. Gao Zhendong is getting the salary from your department but doing the work of my department. I am clearly taking advantage of him.
Thinking of this, I felt better and even a little secretly happy.
The comrades who were working on the workpiece table began the final process confirmation and other work of the workpiece table with high morale, while Gao Zhendong received a call from the 17th Machine Department.
The general idea was that a unit had taken a fancy to the 6013 material he was developing, which was very important, and they wanted a batch of it for research and testing.
Gao Zhendong was very happy to hear this and agreed without hesitation. He also asked what unit it was. The other party's answer instantly piqued his interest.
