Chapter 2

"Boom, boom..."

Several black machines can't see the original color. It seems that the roaring sound of machining equipment turned out from the battlefield of World War II makes this small workshop less than 50 square meters very busy.

"Excuse me, master. Is your boss there?" A child's loud voice was heard by Zhou Jianguo, who was concentrating on his work, from the roar from the gearbox of the lathe. When he finished a knife, pressed the lever to stop the lathe and looked up, he found that he was 15 or 16 years old, wearing a tattered flower shirt, Half of the children with fat shorts and tattered tennis shoes stood by their lathe and handed themselves cigarettes.

After taking the cigarette, good guy, it's Hongtashan for more than ten yuan.

"Young man, what can I do for you?" The lathe stopped, and the noise in the whole small workshop did not decrease at all.

Zhou Jianguo, who received the cigarette, was very curious. He was dressed in rags, but he could afford to smoke. It is estimated that he could not have business to give to his boss, let alone see the recruitment notice posted on the wall outside. At the beginning, Zhou Jianguo studied with his master for three years before he became an apprentice in the state-owned factory!

"Aren't you recruiting lathe workers and milling workers here? I'm here to apply. " The child lit a cigarette for Zhou Jianguo, then lit one himself, spit out a smoke ring, and then answered Zhou Jianguo with a curious face.

Zhou Jianguo was stunned by the half child's words. He looked carefully at the child in front of him with a cigarette. He wanted to see a clue from the child, but he was disappointed. Half the older child in the ragged clothes smoked and waited for Zhou Jianguo's answer with a maturity that was not commensurate with his age.

Maybe the child wants to be an apprentice. Zhou Jianguo thought of it.

This small workshop with only three old lathes, two milling machines and one drilling machine has seen a sharp increase in business recently. The boss has to post recruitment notices everywhere to recruit skilled technicians.

However, in Shenzhen, with various conditions of workshops, it is almost impossible to recruit skilled workers with good skills. He Zhou Jianguo knows his own business. Generally, there is no problem with the processing of ordinary parts. He can't understand the drawings with slightly higher accuracy and slightly more complex structure, let alone the processing.

Otherwise, Zhou Jianguo, who has been in his forties, will not be laid off.

Skilled workers are unwilling to come. Young people feel that working as mechanical workers is dirty and tired and can't earn much money. In addition, they are unwilling to come at all because of their long apprenticeship. Therefore, the boss posted the recruitment for more than ten days, and none of the workers came. If it weren't for the help of several old guys, the workshop might not be able to run.

For the children in front of us, if we can really be an apprentice here and do some chores, we can also make ourselves a lot easier. If the child has a good talent and learns a skill, he can have a skill in the future.

"The boss has gone out to do business and will be back in a minute. Please wait a minute." Zhou Jianguo finished smoking a cigarette and began to work again.

Seeing that Zhou Jianguo was busy, half the children began to take up the environment of the workshop.

Several old machine tools are placed disorderly in a narrow space, all kinds of raw materials are stacked disorderly on the ground, iron filings are everywhere, oil stains all over the ground, and the whole is dirty!

The half child kept shaking his head.

The environment inside the workshop can be seen at a glance from the door. After watching the environment, half the children began to watch with interest the workpieces processed by several workers in the workshop. Within five minutes, they shook their heads and ran outside the door to smoke while waiting for the boss.

"Boss Wang, this is our factory. Although the scale is small and the equipment is old, our processing strength is in Longhua. It is estimated that few small factories have better technical strength than us."

Soon, a Santana stopped at the door of the workshop. After getting off the bus, a middle-aged man about the same age as Zhou Jianguo, dressed in blue overalls, another middle-aged man with a big belly, a suit and a gold necklace with a thick thumb around his neck, as well as a young woman dressed up very flirtatiously and holding a black leather bag got off the bus. As she walked, she introduced the situation.

"Lao Liu, you are bragging! I heard that your brother's machining factory can't make many parts according to the sample! " The young woman's words made Zhou Jianguo numb.

"Secretary Zhang, those accessories are made by CNC. How can we do them with ordinary equipment?" Although Liu Yushui hated young women, he had to explain with a smile.

"Take the drawing to the Masters first. Look at the picture first. " Boss Wang said.

After several people said that, they entered the gate. No one cared about the half of the children waiting by the door.

Half of the children didn't care about themselves and didn't care. They followed several people into the dirty and messy workshop.

At the invitation of boss Liu Yushui, the shrill roar in the workshop stopped. After the young woman took out a drawing from her purse, several workers in their forties gathered together and discussed it in a low voice soon.

Within five minutes, several people stopped the discussion, handed the drawing to Liu Yushui, and shook their heads together.

Seeing all his workers shaking their heads, Liu Yushui's expectation was replaced by disappointment. Although I set up this small processing factory with several laid-off workers, it seems that the business volume is very large, but there is not much profit. I keep running business and look forward to finding some business with high profit. It's not easy to find it, but I can't do it.

It's like a man who hasn't eaten meat for months, with a large plate of meat in front of him, but he can't eat it in his mouth.

At the sight of several workers shaking their heads, boss Wang's look was also gloomy. He didn't tell Liu Yushui that this was actually a foreign trade order. If this order was made, there would be no need to worry about future business. However, like Liu Yushui, he suffers from the lack of a skilled master. Although his scale is ten times larger than Liu Yushui's, his main business is making accessories, and the requirements for accuracy are not too high. Similarly, he does not have much profit.

In this batch of work, he almost ran away where he could run in Shenzhen, but he didn't find a factory that could process it. Foreign funded enterprises can process, but the price they offer is not acceptable to boss Wang. When Liu Yushui found him today, he just came with the attitude that a dead horse should be a living horse doctor. If Liu Yushui can't do the same, he will have to give up the processing order of tens of thousands of yuan.

"Can I see the drawing?" When several people were silent, the half child standing on one side couldn't help saying.

The silent people around looked at the source of the voice.

Liu Yushui looked at the drawings and then at boss Wang.

"Let him have a look, young man. It's good to see more and have more knowledge." Boss Wang is not as upstart as he looks. He feels very kind.

After obtaining the consent, half the children came forward, took the drawings handed over by Liu Yushui, spread them on the bench of the fitter and unfolded them.

As soon as the drawing was expanded, half the older child smiled, which made boss Wang's idea active again.

In less than a minute, the smile on the half older child's face dissipated and his eyebrows slowly wrinkled.

"Although this part is complex, it is not very difficult to do. If there is a CNC lathe, it is the best. There is no problem. There is no problem with ordinary cars, but it is a little troublesome. Do you have a blueprint? Show me the blueprint. " After watching it for a while, half the child raised his head and said solemnly to Liu Yushui and boss Wang.
