Chapter 52 Visit
In the following time, Hu Wenhai was responsible for accompanying Hu Jiefang and had a thorough experience near New York.
The luxurious enjoyment of the Central Park Hotel opened his eyes to Hu Jieyi, and kept shouting that this capitalist world could really corrupt people, but he never tires about trying all the service projects.
Hu Wenhai maliciously thought that if he hadn't been here, his father might want to taste the taste of the golden silk cat...
Cough, Hu Wenhai quickly threw this malicious speculation about his father out of his mind. The next few decades of life have long proved that Comrade Hu Jiefang is definitely not that kind of person.
From the next day, Hu Wenhai took Hu Jiefang to visit New York City's tourist attractions one by one. The Goddess of Liberty, Times Square, Wall Street and the Empire State Building. By the way, Hu Wenhai also specially pulled Hu Jiefang to the World Trade Center and took dozens of photos. There is no way, in more than ten years, this attraction will never be seen again...
Hu Jiefang has lived in a small city like Xiucheng for decades, so it is really eye-opening. Not only is the great material abundance of the United States surprised him, but the efficiency of people's work here surprised him even more. Especially after eating enough of the service attitude of state-owned shopping mall salesmen, looking at the service attitude of Americans, I really feel that I don't know which side is his "comrade".
As a factory director with thousands of people, the work efficiency of workers is his most concerned issue. He has never felt it in China before, but after comparing it with Americans, he showed that the domestic work efficiency was low.
So after meeting with William, Comrade Lao Hu talked about the time and form of supply, and couldn't wait to ask if he could visit the factory in the United States.
Originally, William was not interested in this kind of request, but for some reason, when he called, he immediately changed his expression when he came back.
"Okay, Mr. Hu Jiefang." William's expression on his face was a little subtle, and he nodded and said, "Grumman has an airplane factory near New York. I'm allowed to take you to visit."
"Oh, thank you, thank you so much!" Hu Jiefang held William's hand, and he really felt that Americans kissed him more than his own son.
Then William and the old Hu family got into the car and drove towards Long Island, New York at a speed of lightning.
It took me a long time to walk. Although William said it was a factory near New York, it took more than two hours to spend on the road alone. Three people set off in the morning and did not arrive at the factory at the end of a obviously heavily guarded highway until noon.
William first received three passes from the guard office at the entrance of the factory, handed two of them carefully to Hu Jiefang and Hu Wenhai, and reminded him: "This is a fighter jet manufacturing factory of Grumman, the pass must be carried at any time and placed in a conspicuous position. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to be caught by the guard!"
"I understand, I understand!" Hu Jiefang opened an arsenal and did not know the confidentiality regulations and nodded immediately.
After passing the barbed wire fence gate outside the factory, the three of them drove for another ten minutes before they saw a rather modern factory.
If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this luxurious way of using land was in the vicinity of New York. Hu Wenhai believed that with just such a piece of land, Grumman would probably have a value increase of millions of dollars every year.
Before he could enter the factory workshop, William drove three people and had already passed two gateways for three inspections. The level of alertness was so difficult for mosquitoes and flies to enter. On the way, Hu Jiefang was also dazzled.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the design of Grumman's factory, you can clearly feel that it is many times higher than the 501 factory. Needless to say, greening and roads, the details of the instructions and reminders of each intersection are all detailed and exquisite. Although it is an industrial manufacturing factory, you can drive in the factory and you can't hear much of the sound of machines starting.
In the factory of Grumman, it is rare to see workers who are blindly walking around, even those who pass by, all walk quickly or simply drive an electric car in a hurry.
William skillfully parked his car in the parking lot in front of an office building, and soon someone came over from the office building.
“colon…”
The visitor said half a word familiarly, but then he held it back with awkward expression. Finally, he just reached out and smiled and said, "William, you haven't been here for a long time. How about Erica?"
William shrugged helplessly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Thank you, she is busy running for the state assemblyman now, you know, she is so busy."
"Let me introduce it. This is a military factory manager in China. We have some business dealings with his factory." William greeted the visitor and happily pushed Hu Jiefang over and introduced: "This is Mr. Hu, this is Mr. Hu. They hope to visit your factory. Raul has called you, right?"
"Yes, very welcome, guests from China! My name is Mark Hunter, just call me Mark."
Hu Wenhai translated the conversation between the two to Hu Jiefang. Hu Jiefang hurriedly reached out and held it with Mark and shook it hard. He said enthusiastically and even a little flatteringly: "Thank you Mr. Mark for your generosity, which has caused trouble for the comrades in the United States! I will never forget the friendship of American comrades!"
When Hu Wenhai heard this, three black lines appeared on his forehead. A crow flew over the sky, so he had to change his words for Hu Jiefang according to the normal thank you words.
However, it is obvious that as Grumman's high-end manufacturing factory in New York, the various technical levels of this factory put a lot of pressure on Hu Jiefang, so that Hu Jiefang, who had a very hard waist, was a little hunched at this time.
This is not surprising. Hey, Hu Wenhai is very familiar with the gap in his heart caused by the backwardness of the Chinese people after he suddenly opened his eyes to look at the world. The most famous one is that General Liu visited the American aircraft carrier and was a founding hero, but he humbly asked ordinary American soldiers. How many Chinese young people had cried when he was looking at the American helicopter with his neck?
Fortunately, Mark obviously had received the instructions from the above long ago and attached great importance to Hu Jiefang's visit. Not only did he accompany him personally, but he even knew all his questions.
The first place Hu Jiefang proposed to visit was the largest and most conspicuous main installation workshop in the entire factory.
A steel structure factory that is fifteen meters high and has a fully enclosed frame structure. Even when standing in front of the workshop gate, the sound of working inside can only be vaguely heard.
This quiet atmosphere was indeed a completely unfamiliar experience for Hu Jiefang, who was already accustomed to the noise of the factory. He walked into the workshop in awe. The long steel structure workshop was in sight and there was no end at all. The busy workers did not react to the sudden appearance of the group and were still working tensely and orderly.
Hu Jiefang couldn't bear the doubts in his heart and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Mark, why do the workers in your company look so in a hurry? I saw some people who even walked, they wanted to bring a wind."
Mark said calmly: "The management of our Grumman factory is very strict, and all work has standard progress requirements. Because the entire working group will be punished for work delays caused by anyone or any position, the workers will never relax their requirements and can actively improve their work efficiency."
After listening to Hu Wenhai's translation, Hu Jiefang asked in confusion: "What does the working group mean? Are you not using assembly line operations?"
"Haha, we have long abandoned the production method of Ford era." Mark shook his head, walked to the plane closest to the door, drew a circle with his hand, and said: "It is impossible to assemble the entire F-14 fighter jet with production lines like a production car. Because there are too many parts for fighter jets, I don't know how complicated it is to be. Moreover, there will be many complex situations in the assembly of fighter jets, and it is impossible for mechanized assembly line workers to face it."
Seeing Hu Jiefang listening seriously, his vanity suddenly expanded a lot and explained tirelessly: "One of our working group can assemble a fighter from beginning to end. The entire group is eight people led by a senior engineer. Every worker in the group is competent for every assembly work. Like workers, our engineers must insist on participating in the front line, and every worker can also express opinions on work management."
Finally, Mark waved his fists proudly, looked at Hu Jiefang and said, "Our Grumman factory organizes production according to the factors of post-Ford production. Not only managers, engineers and workers can also reform the management system. The only requirement is to improve production capacity. Therefore, our Grumman factory can be said to be the highest management level in the world today!"
Hu Wenhai translated his words to Hu Jiefang, but he didn't expect that Hu Jiefang's longing had disappeared, but instead had an inexplicable complex gaze.
