The way of wealth creation

  With official recognition, Lin Zhenhua found it much easier to manufacture the rolling gear machine. He only needed to provide drawings and technical guidance for key links, and each component could be directly handed over to workers of different trades for processing. Hanhua Machinery Factory was a chemical equipment manufacturing enterprise with strong capabilities in both mechanical processing and pressure vessel manufacturing, making the production of a shanzhai version of the rolling gear machine effortless.

  With professional processing and the use of materials that are no longer the leftover materials used by Lin Zhenhua before, the newly manufactured rolling gear machines look better than the one made by Lin Zhenhua by at least one level. At the very least, all parts have been polished and look pleasing to the eye, installed on the milling machine, it's as if they were originally part of it.

  The gear hobbing machine made by Lin Zhenhua was retired after only one day of use. A new gear hobbing machine was installed on Yang Xin's milling machine, while the one made by Lin Zhenhua was thrown aside, waiting to be taken away by him, the porter, to the scrap iron pile.

  "Alas, this is the first product I made at Hanhua Machinery Factory." Lin Zhenhua said with a sigh, hugging the iron chunk-like gear hobbing machine.

  Workshop director Lao Qingsheng walked over and said disdainfully, "Little Lin, your design drawings are not bad, but the processing technology is too rough. Such things, put in our workshop, aren't they a loss of face?"

  Lin Zhenhua argued: "Director Luo, you are wronging me. If I had enough time, I could also make each component beautifully. The problem is that I did it in my spare time and the materials were not good."

  "Alright, let's just throw this thing away. We have plenty of scrap iron like this in our workshop."

  "What a pity." Lin Zhenhua sighed.

  Yang Xin interrupted: "I'd rather keep this milling machine as a memento."

  "A commemoration?" Lin Zhenhua was shocked. No way, others give a ring as a token of love to their girlfriend, and I'm giving a rolling mill?

  "No, that's not it." Yang Xin seemed to have seen what Lin Zhenhua was thinking and hurriedly corrected his bad idea with a red face. "I mean, I used this rolling gear machine to independently complete so many tasks for the first time and also got praised by Director Luo, so I want to keep it."

  "You can keep it then." Lin Zhenhua was delighted to have found a good home for his pinball machine. He tossed the heavy thing at Yang Xin's feet: "Take it back home and stash it under your bed, or you could put it in the kitchen as a pot rack, that'd be pretty suitable too."

  Several newly manufactured gear hobbing machines were quickly installed, and Luo Xiansheng gathered all the machinists together to let Lin Zhenhua explain the usage of the gear hobbing machine. This was a very strange scene, a group of technicians aged between 30 and 60 surrounded an 18-year-old porter, listening to him explain how to set the spindle speed of the milling cutter and how to adjust the graduation of the dividing head.

  "Xiao Hua, who did you learn this from? How come you know so much?"

  All the machinists raised the same question, although Lin Zhenhua was a child of the factory and it was normal to understand some mechanics, but his performance could no longer be explained by this genetic factor. But if you say that Lin Zhenhua is a genius, I'm afraid nobody will believe it.

  "This, I learned in the army, and now I'm showing off in front of all of you masters." Lin Zhenhua bowed to the masters with a humble gesture.

  However, Lin Zhenhua also deeply felt the wisdom hidden in workers during training. Of course, this is limited to a part of workers. For example, Jiang Tiemei, a housewife with only pots and stoves in her mind, basically just gets by and doesn't think too much. Among them, Peng Gang's comprehension was the best. Whatever Lin Zhenhua said, Peng Gang could always come up with new ideas by analogy, some of which were so ingenious that they made Lin Zhenhua feel ashamed.

  The matter of the gear hobbing machine did not end there. Several weeks later, Zhu Tiejun, the deputy factory director in charge of production, came to the metalworking workshop with great enthusiasm and found Luo Qisheng, saying: "Old Luo, can you guys process another 20 sets of that gear hobbing machine?"

  "What's going on?" Lu Qinsheng was startled, they had processed more than a thousand gears with only three hobbing machines, now Zhu Tiejun was talking about 20 sets at once, had he taken on the task of processing tens of thousands of gears again?

  "Listen to me, yesterday I went to the Light Industry Hall for a meeting. At the meeting, it was mentioned that we had developed our own gear hobbing machine. As a result, several factory leaders came to find me after the meeting and asked us to help them make a few sets as well." Zhu Tiejun said with a proud smile on his face. The day before, Hanhua Machinery Factory had made a small splash at the meeting because of the gear hobbing machine, making its brother companies envy it. Zhu Tiejun was still excited about it until now.

  "If we don't give it to them, and teach them instead, won't we starve to death?" Lu Xiansheng also said with a smile. Of course, this was just a joke. The relationship between the mechanical factories under the Light Industry Bureau was not bad, and they often cooperated with each other. For example, things like gear hobbing machines, Hanhua Factory wouldn't possibly keep them to themselves.

  "There's another thing, we not only need to help them produce the rolling gear, but also send people over to train them. I heard that setting up this rolling gear is quite particular, if no one goes to train them, they may not know how to use it." Zhu Tiejun added.

  "This matter can only be left to Xiao Lin, he is most familiar with the rolling gear machine."

  "How come, with so many technicians in your workshop, no one is more familiar with this gear hobbing machine than Xiao Lin?" Zhu Tiejun asked in surprise. He only knew that the mechanical processing workshop had carried out a technological revolution and developed the gear hobbing machine itself, but he did not expect that the core figure of this innovation was actually Lin Zhenhua.

  "Master Peng's operation is more familiar than Xiao Lin's, but the rolling gear machine was designed by Xiao Lin, so let him handle the installation and training." Lu Xiansheng said. Going to an external factory for training comes with a travel allowance, which is considered a good assignment. Lu Xiansheng decided to assign this good job to Lin Zhenhua as a reward.

  Lin Zhenhua was called over, Zhu Tiejun patted his shoulder and praised: "Little Lin, you're not bad, I've heard Director Luo mention it before. I didn't expect that at such a young age, your technical skills are so good."

  "This, actually I just saw this thing before and then imitated it." Lin Zhenhua said.

  "Hmm, having achieved results without being arrogant or impetuous is very good." Zhu Tiejun nodded in satisfaction. "Now we have a glorious task, which is to send you to several brother companies to install and debug the rolling gear machine for them, while also training their operators. How about it, any difficulties?"

  "How come our rolling gear has been sold to a brother company?" Lin Zhenhua exclaimed, he never thought this thing could still be worth money.

  "It's not selling, just helping them make a few sets. Like Fengnan Machinery Factory, their daily gear processing tasks are also heavy, and they can't afford to buy a specialized rolling gear machine. As soon as they heard that we could modify the universal milling machine into a rolling gear machine, their factory director was overjoyed and insisted that we help them."

  "Are you giving me money?" Lin Zhenhua asked with concern.

  "Of course, you'll be given it. Go to Fengnan Machinery Factory to provide them with technical guidance. There's a travel allowance, 50 cents per day." Lu Chen Sheng chimed in from the side, thinking that Lin Zhenhua was asking about his own treatment.

  Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "No, I'm asking, we made rolling gear machines for Fengnan Machinery Factory and sent people to install and train them, will they give our factory money?"

  Zhu Tiejun said, "The problem of money can't be solved. Our rolling gear machine is considered a technological innovation and not our product, so it can't be sold, and we also don't have the name to collect money."

  Lin Zhenhua said, "So to speak, aren't we at a loss? We provide the materials, equipment, produce them, and then send people to install, debug, and train them, but in the end, not a single cent is left for us. Isn't this just doing it all for nothing?"

  Zhu Tiejun smiled: "I'm not that stupid. Although we can't get paid, we can't just work for them for nothing either. Fengnan Machinery Factory agreed to give us two trucks of local honey tangerines after the job is done. They have a cooperative relationship with the honey tangerine processing factory, so there's plenty of tangerines."

  "How much for two cars?" Lin Zhenhua had no idea.

  "Eight tons!" Zhu Tiejun drew an "eight" shape with his hand, "Our entire factory has 500 employees, and each person can get 30 kilograms of tangerines."

  "This is a good deal." Kong Qingsheng was also happy, "Fengnan's honey tangerines were tributes to the emperor in ancient times. They sell for 20 cents per kilogram on the street. For one person, it's 30 kilograms, which adds up to 6 yuan."

  "What, this is okay too?" Lin Zhenhua laughed and said. It seems that Director Zhu isn't such a wooden person after all, he won't casually talk about communist style or anything like that. He didn't know that cadres who transferred from the army have this characteristic - they are especially good at getting benefits for their own small group. In the army, competing for equipment, competing for honors, competing for good soldiers and so on, these are all normal things, not competing would be strange. After arriving in a local area, these cadres still keep this tradition, they absolutely won't do anything that doesn't benefit them.

  "Director Zhu, I have an impolite request." Lin Zhenhua said with a hum.

  "Say."

  "I'm the designer of the rolling gear machine, I'm considered one of the most productive, can't I have 60 kilograms of tangerines?"

  "You little scamp," Director Zhu said with a smile. "Do you still need to fight for this in the factory? I'll send you to Fengnan Machinery Factory as a technical instructor, and they won't even give you one or two baskets of tangerines to serve you?"

  "Ha! That's right!" Lin Zhenhua chuckled, "By the way, Director Zhu, apart from Fengnan Machinery Factory, what other factories are there? What else can they produce?"

  "There's also the Ruijin Machinery Factory, they have a very good relationship with the local sugar factory and promised to give us a truckload of white sugar." Zhu Changlang chuckled and said, "Old Luo, your metalworking workshop has made a great contribution to the factory this time. Half of the annual goods for all the workers in the factory were exchanged for your gear hobbing machines."

  "Director Zhu, Director Luo, this deal is quite cost-effective. How about it, let's get some new stuff later and exchange them with others to improve our lives." Lin Zhenhua said excitedly.

  "Alright, Little Lin, what else have you got in that brain of yours? Let's hear it all. You come up with the ideas and I'll go sell them for you."

  Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "Director Zhu, you're wrong. I want to ask you first what sales channels you have, and then we'll determine production based on that. For example, if everyone is short of TVs, go ask which TV factory is lacking in equipment, and we'll develop a set for them in exchange for 500 TVs..."

  "You said you're fat, and now you're really panting." Zhu Tiejun said, "Now there are only two TV manufacturers in the country. Moreover, can our equipment be compared to theirs? Stop bragging and prepare to go to Fengnan Machinery Factory as a teacher."
