Until he returned to work on the sixteenth day of the first month, Liuyun did not see Chen Jingfeng.

However, Liuyun doesn't care so much about other people: at the beginning of the new year, the factory received a large number of parts tasks; And the "side business" of the overhaul factory, the orders for the White Bear refrigerator also fell into the factory like snowflakes......

In order to maximize the production potential of the overhaul plant, Wu Dalei, the factory manager, organized the parts of the refrigerator according to the difficulty of processing and assigned them to workers with different skill levels.

Most of the core processing forces in the factory are invested in the processing of military products; Only after completing the military task can the senior technician have the opportunity to "make extra money" and process the compressor of the refrigerator......

Although the quota of white bears on the market is very small, because of the excellent quality and the power saving compared with similar types, "white bears" are very marketable among the old aunts in the magic capital.

It's not that there are no other refrigerator manufacturers who buy the White Bear refrigerator back and take it apart.

The rest is fine, but the technicians of other factories took the compressor to the workshop and asked, and the masters in the factory shook their heads......

"If we also process the compressor like this, I will be the first to approve of it."

"Why?"

The master was directly happy: "With the level of our factory, it would be good to have a finished product!" ”

Then, the "white bear" became a wonder on the market: the production is small, and it is extremely expensive, but it is still sought after......

Although Wu Dalei also felt sorry for the white silver that flowed away in vain, the high-quality compressor was not a fourth-level worker.

Despite this, Wu Dalei still found a solution: he got a few of the latest products from the Feng Machine Tool Factory, a combination machine tool, to liberate some potential fourth-level workers from simple workpieces and give them a hand to senior technicians......

1974 was a year of great news in the field of manufacturing equipment and computers in China.

In the radio of the overhaul plant, there are new headlines: Today's headline is that the drilling depth of the Shengli Oilfield has set a record, and it will be replaced by the opening of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway tomorrow, and in a few years, the first 25,000-ton floating dock in China will be completed......

And Chen Ning's processing technology has also grown over time......

By the end of the annual technician grading examination, Chen Ning finally became a fourth-level worker, and his salary was on par with Liu Xiaohui, who was the head nurse in the hospital; And Liuyun, because of the release of water in the grading exam held in Yongcheng, could only look at the "eighth-level top salary" in the middle of the pass and sigh......

Then, the sighing Liuyun was beaten by a group of young mechanics from the overhaul factory with a quilt......

Liuyun, who has three seventh-level titles, gets the same salary as an eighth-level worker, and if you count the bonuses and invention rewards, there are almost more than two hundred per month, which is enough to buy two "twenty-eight big cards".

After becoming a seventh-level worker, Liuyun had his own office, and the factory also selected a few machine tools as Liuyun's "special" tools......

When Ke Liuyun saw his own machine tools, his nose almost ran out of breath: several machine tools were the worst accurate antiques in the factory......

Liuyun also knows what kind of calculation the factory director Wu Dalei is playing: make the best use of people and materials. In layman's terms, it is to "squeeze out the surplus value of the flowing clouds"......

Liuyun didn't care: after the upgrade, the processing tasks in the factory were rarely assigned to him, and he was idle anyway......

Come and don't be rude.

Liuyun, who has always considered himself not a vegetarian, used the equipment in the factory to build an aluminum alloy mountain bike for himself after repairing the machine tool......

Wu Dalei, who thought that Liuyun had brought a new idea to the factory, gave up after learning about the specific situation of mountain bikes, because mountain bikes are "capitalists' means of transportation": in front of the 28 big trucks with a load of 300 kilograms, the so-called mountain bikes are not enough to see at all......

Wu Dalei can't look down on it, it doesn't mean that others can't look down on it either.

In the eyes of a group of young people in the factory, mountain bikes are much more pleasing to the eye than the stupid and ugly 28 big trucks, and as for not being able to carry loads, it is not a problem, it is enough to carry a girl in the back seat.

But mountain bikes are not without their problems: the aluminum frame is too expensive, the transmission is too complicated, and there is no rear shelf......

Under the pry of a group of young mechanics, Liuyun came up with a simplified "beggar version" of the mountain bike - except that the shape is the same as that of the mountain bike, the frame is slightly lighter, and the others are no different from the 28 big truck.

It didn't take long for a batch of 26-inch army green bicycles with "poisonous weeds" to be added near the overhaul plant......

Although it has been criticized by the broad masses of the people as the "poisonous weed of capitalism", the number of 26-inch "poisonous weeds" on the island is increasing......

Because, "poisonous weeds" are really fragrant!

Seeing that the "poisonous weeds" were about to spread to Yongcheng, Wu Dalei, who was smiling, discussed with Yao Shun, secretary and chairman of the Revolutionary Committee, and held an enlarged meeting of military cadres to discuss the issue of separating the military and civilian product workshops.

A few days later, there was a rumor on the island: the overhaul factory that distributes half a piece of pig during the New Year's holiday is going to recruit workers again......

In June, Chen Yang, the only remaining junior high school student of the Chen family, successfully passed the high school entrance examination. As a reward for the top student in the high school entrance examination, Chen Yang liked to mention an aluminum alloy mountain bike......

When the mountain bike first arrived, Chen Yang was quite proud, riding around Zhoushan. But after a long time, Chen Yang couldn't be happy: as the root of the "poisonous weed of capitalism", mountain bikes can attract a lot of attention wherever they go......

After a few rides, Chen Yang threw the mountain bike into his utility room.

Just when the fourth Chen Yang was enjoying the last school time, Liuyun and a group of sixth-level colleagues could only take the factory as their home: the factory received a confidential task.

The sixth-level workers in the overhaul factory were stunned when they saw the content of the mission: When did my navy become so entrenched, and all the ships used refrigerators?

Seeing that the workers below were a little surprised, Xu Chen on the rostrum frowned, and glanced back at Wu Dalei who was accompanying him: "Director Wu......"

Wu Dalei nodded, stood up straight, and patted the table: "I, if you have something to say, don't be dumb with Leader Xu!" ”

All the sixth-level workers didn't dare to squeak, but kept glaring at Liuyun......

There was no way, Liuyun could only stand up and glanced at Xu Chen on the stage: "If we ask where the compressor is used, you will definitely not answer." I'll just ask one question, how many decibels do you need us to control the noise of the compressor? ”

Yo, did you meet someone who knows?

Xu Chen turned his head and glanced at the confidential section chief who was traveling with him: "Section Chief Li, he ......"

Section Chief Li nodded, took out a stack of materials from the bag in front of him, and handed it to Xu Chen......

"Liu Yun, male, ...... 1964"

"In 1964?"

Just 10 years old! This is standard child labor.

Xu Chen, who was frightened, turned his head and glanced at Wu Dalei beside him: "Director Wu, this ......"

"Leader, this is the only seventh-level worker in our factory, if it weren't for his age, ......

"That's it!"

Xu Chen waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, and then continued to look down at the information......
