Chapter 14 Taking the Blame? Let whoever wants to take the blame take it!
"Of course, my grandfather is a top student from the Mechanical Engineering Department! If the machine tool breaks down, of course he has to come over." Jia Dongxu raised his chin slightly, somewhat proudly.
Guo Da Piezi secretly felt a bit disgusted when he saw the smug look on his face.
Led by Sister Xie, Zhang Chengfei entered the workshop. With just a glance from Sister Xie, the tall and imposing Section Chief Ma came over.
"Big sister, what do you want?"
"I've brought someone for you. Look, Zhang Chengfei, a top student who just graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Institute of Beijing, a level 14 technician handpicked by the factory director." She emphasized the last sentence.
Although Section Chief Ma had only been out of the military for a year and didn't know much about technology, he knew that it was impossible for a recent graduate to receive the fourteenth-level treatment.
unless……
His gaze swept over Zhang Chengfei: "This kid's got real skills!"
Sister Xie explained, "He independently designed a small agricultural machine."
"You're even doing R&D now? Maintenance must be a piece of cake for you, right?" Section Chief Ma pointed to the 1A62 lathe in the distance. "Do you recognize this machine?"
Zhang Chengfei glanced at it: "The 1A62 lathe provided by the Russians is mainly used for turning various shafts, lead screws, nuts, and repairing rolls."
Section Chief Ma's eyes lit up: "You really know that? This machine can't work now, can you fix it?"
Zhang Chengfei cautiously inquired, "Section Chief, could you please describe the specifics?"
"You wait here." Section Chief Ma called over the head of the technical department of the steel rolling mill, who then called over the workers operating the lathes.
The worker said a few words to Yi Zhonghai beside him, and then the two of them walked over together.
"Tell Technician Zhang about the machine's specifications."
Although the worker felt that Zhang Chengfei, who looked young and was wearing brand-new work clothes, was unreliable, he still told him about the lathe in detail.
He told Zhang Chengfei that the machine tool was an aid from Russia three months ago.
"I've been the one operating the machine ever since it arrived, but the parts it produces have always been inaccurate..."
"So it's never been repaired?" Zhang Chengfei raised an eyebrow.
"The factory consulted with the technical departments of both the factory itself and the machinery factory. After the consultation, both parties stated that they could not find the cause without disassembling the machine."
Sister Xie, confused, said, "Then just tear it down."
Section Chief Ma was somewhat speechless: "Easy for you to say. How can you just disassemble such an expensive machine like that?"
These donated machines are all precious. Minor problems can be repaired by our own people, but major problems must be reported and Russian experts must be called in for inspection.
Of course, the cost of hiring experts is also astronomical.
The worker also said, "Although the parts produced by lathes are not precise, they can still meet the standards after being hand-rolled."
He pointed to Yi Zhonghai: "The parts that are processed are all hand-made by Master Yi and his apprentice. With the two of us working together, we can also complete the task."
Now that the lathe has broken down, both of their jobs are doomed.
The thought of not knowing when the bear expert would arrive filled the man with worry.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Zhang Chengfei with a probing gaze, seemingly deep in thought.
Section Chief Ma turned to Zhang Chengfei and asked, "That's the situation. Can we do it?"
"I'll give it a try," Zhang Chengfei said hesitantly. "But I think we still need to disassemble the lathe to find out exactly where the problem lies."
open?
Before anyone else could speak, Yi Zhonghai broke the silence: "If you take it apart yourself but can't fix it, and the Russian experts come and find the machine has been disassembled and refuse to repair it, who can take that responsibility? You?"
These words were a bit too much, and everyone present frowned. Section Chief Qian glanced at Yi Zhonghai, also wondering to himself, "Master Yi is usually quite kind."
Why are you suddenly speaking so sarcastically? The people from the machinery factory are clearly here to help. Even if he felt they weren't capable enough, he could have used a more tactful approach.
However, on the other hand, he also felt that the young man in front of him was talking nonsense.
That's right, he's a technician who received systematic training at a vocational school, which makes him better than those of them who came from other fields.
Ke Tai, the head of the technical department at the machinery factory, also studied abroad and underwent systematic training!
During the previous consultation, he didn't dare to mention disassembling the machine, so the young man in front of him was being rather presumptuous.
Seeing Section Chief Qian's hesitation, Zhang Chengfei sneered inwardly, but put on a somewhat apologetic expression:
"I was being inconsiderate... Section Chief, I suggest we wait for the Russian bear expert."
Section Chief Ma looked at Section Chief Qian of the Steel Rolling Mill's Technical Department: "Old Qian, we'll be going now."
After saying that, he gestured for Zhang Chengfei and Sister Xie to follow him.
Although he doesn't understand technology, he's not stupid. The steel mill clearly looks down on him, so why should he bother to go after him?
Section Chief Qian grabbed his arm: "Hey Lao Ma, after you take the machine apart, how confident are your men that they can fix it?"
Section Chief Ma sneered and shook off the other man's hand: "Don't try that with me! Old Qian, let me tell you, my man is here to help. He's just a technician."
Repairing lathes is his job, but in any job, there are times when you do it right and times when you mess it up. It's normal for him to fix it well, and it's normal for him to not fix it well either.
If you're only thinking about getting the benefits if you fix it, and making him take the blame if you fail, then you might as well get the hell out of here!
When Section Chief Qian was exposed, his old face immediately turned red.
Section Chief Ma, disregarding all else, angrily retorted, "You're the leader. Whether the machine can be disassembled is up to you, and who should repair it is also up to you."
"You're the head of the technical department, so if you fix it, you get credit. If you don't, you'll be the first one held accountable! My people only care about getting the job done, not taking the blame."
He glanced at Yi Zhonghai and sneered, "So now, whether to repair it or not is up to you and your precious eighth-grade craftsman to decide."
Yi Zhonghai had only heard of Section Chief Ma of the machine repair shop before, who was a former soldier and had a temper that could not be held back.
To his utter surprise, he spoke so bluntly that he, who was used to being flattered at the steel mill, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He walked up to Section Chief Qian, and the worker in charge of the lathes, being very perceptive, called over their workshop director as well. The group of people gathered together to discuss the matter.
Taking advantage of their inattention, Marco walked up to Zhang Chengfei, hesitatingly muttering, "These guys are really messed up. But if the machine breaks down and can't be fixed, it's the country's production targets that are delayed..."
From a personal perspective, although it was the first time he had met Zhang Chengfei, Zhang Chengfei was his subordinate, and he naturally couldn't bear to see him being bullied.
But for Engineer Yu, a broken lathe disrupts his work. How many years has our country struggled to achieve the life we have today? It wasn't easy!
So, although Section Chief Ma was tough when he was pulling people along, deep down he really wanted to solve the lathe problem so as not to delay production.
Now that he had taken Qiao's hand, he had given Section Chief Qian a small but significant obstacle. Next, he was ready to work on Zhang Chengfei's mindset.
