Chapter 286 Final Payment

Over the next week, after receiving the money, Xu Qiang and He Yonghong worked very hard, living and eating at the Red Star Feed Factory. They also handed over the equipment drawings they had drawn to the factory director Lin Guoquan as soon as possible.

In fact, compared with the previous aramid paper production line, the feed production line designed by Xu Qiang is much simpler. It does not even require the fully automatic electronic control module of aramid paper. He Yonghong can easily design a complete set of circuits.

Speaking of which, the most commonly used equipment for feed processing are grinders, fermentation tanks, puffers, mixers, coolers, granules, etc.

Xu Qiang connected these devices in series with conveyor belts according to the processing technology of the new feed. In order to maximize the production efficiency, He Yonghong also optimized and designed the entire production line according to the power and processing efficiency of the equipment, ultimately achieving a very good effect.

The CZ municipal government also made a huge investment in the new feed production line. The cost of purchasing various equipment was huge. In just a few days, the ordering alone cost nearly 700,000 yuan. At the same time, the new factory building was also built. Hundreds of local workers worked almost day and night. In less than five days, the exterior facade of the factory building had been completed, leaving only the final roof.

As for equipment, the Changzhou government basically purchases it from local companies.

Among Changzhou's many industries, in addition to electronics and textiles, machinery and equipment is also one of the leading industries driving the local economy.

Changzhou Diesel Engine Factory and Tractor Factory are known as the pearls of my country's agricultural machinery industry. The sales volume of Changzhou Agricultural Machinery Factory is also very outstanding, and its products almost cover the entire Jiangsu region. It is precisely because of such a strong industrial foundation that after obtaining the design drawings, the manufacturer took less than a week to deliver all the components of the production line to the Red Star Feed Factory in Wujin County.

Zhang Li is as busy as Xu Qiang and He Yonghong. These days, she has been running back and forth by car. On the one hand, she supervises the construction progress of the new factory building at the feed factory. On the other hand, she has to take the drawings to the relevant equipment manufacturers. She is involved in the entire process from ordering to manufacturing to final delivery.

Xu Qiang and He Yonghong couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Li's work ability. Although this woman was dressed fashionably and beautifully and looked like a vase, in fact, Zhang Li's work ability and efficiency were quite strong, and she also showed her strong personality. She even dared to scold the construction leader in front of the workers, and the other party didn't dare to say a word. This scene left Xu Qiang and He Yonghong stunned.

If it weren't for Zhang Li, the construction of the feed factory's production line might have taken a long time to complete. But now, it only took more than a week and the entire feed production line has been installed, leaving only the final testing work.

"In the production process of new feed, the synthesis and fermentation of the mixture takes the longest time, so the number of fermentation tanks is the key to determining feed production capacity..." After carefully checking the production line equipment, Xu Qiang said to Zhang Li and the factory manager Lin Guoquan: "My suggestion is that one production line can be equipped with eight to ten large fermentation tanks, and the fermentation cycle is within 24 hours. In this way, the daily feed output can reach more than tons..."

"Comrade Xu Qiang, can the equipment be used now?" asked the factory director Lin Guoquan.

"Of course it can be used, but the material has not been fermented yet. We can only start the machine at this time tomorrow." Xu Qiang said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Li also said with a smile.

"Director Zhang, you have worked hard too." Xu Qiang replied.

"We will inspect and accept this production line tomorrow morning. Some city leaders including the mayor will also attend. Can you guarantee that the equipment will operate correctly?" Zhang Li asked seriously.

"Absolutely no problem!" He Yonghong said confidently, "I have tested every link of the equipment before, and the operation is very good. If such a simple production line can't be operated properly, we don't need to work here anymore, we might as well go home and raise pigs!"

"Haha, I feel relieved if you say that." Zhang Li said with a giggle when she heard that.

After spending some time together, Xu Qiang, He Yonghong and Zhang Li have become very familiar with each other. They often chat with each other during the day, talking about some of the recent delicious and fun places in Shanghai and Changzhou.

Young people still have a lot in common. Sometimes, Zhang Li would have a drink with Xu Qiang and He Yonghong in the canteen of the feed factory, which made He Yonghong very happy.

But in terms of work, the three of them are very dedicated and serious. Zhang Li also let Xu Qiang and He Yonghong see what "Changzhou efficiency" is. Everything here really impressed the two of them. Many things are unimaginable in other places. The courage and determination of the local government have created their current glory.

Everything is ready at the feed factory. Zhang Li has to go back to arrange the acceptance for tomorrow, and Xu Qiang and He Yonghong can finally relax.

As long as the acceptance is successful tomorrow, Xu Qiang can get the remaining 15,000 yuan and go home.

"I'm impressed. The officials of the Changzhou government really work hard. They completed the feed factory production line so quickly, even faster than the people who made the aramid paper production line before."

In the evening, Xu Qiang and He Yonghong sat together drinking, and He Yonghong said with some emotion.

"The per capita income here is among the highest in the country. This proves a truth: a helmsman is the key to sailing on the sea. As long as the government's policies are in the right direction and the work efficiency is high, it is impossible not to get rich," said Xu Qiang.

"Yes, compared to Fuzhou, Changzhou is really better." He Yonghong nodded, and after a moment asked, "By the way, Qiangzi, after this project is over, do you have any new projects?"

"What do you mean, do you want to make more money?" Xu Qiang asked with a smile. "Of course! This is much better than working. I can earn several thousand yuan for one project, which is as much as I have earned in the company for several years. Otherwise, I might as well quit the factory and work with you!"

He Yonghong has tasted the sweetness of following Xu Qiang, so much so that he now only wants to cling to Xu Qiang's thigh tightly. As long as there are a few more projects like this, his settlement in Shanghai and marriage to a female college student will be completely secure.

So even if Xu Qiang wanted to kick him away, it would not be an easy task...

"That won't do. You have to keep that job." Xu Qiang shook his head and continued, "Now is not the right time. After cooperating with the CZ City Government this time, we don't know what the future will be like. At least we have a job to back us up so we won't become unemployed young people."

"Too."

"Don't worry, I will definitely call you if there are any good projects in the future. We are all brothers, and we should share the good and the bad..."

"I've been waiting for you to say this!" He Yonghong picked up the wine glass and said to Xu Qiang, "From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do. There's nothing to say!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Afterwards, Xu Qiang and He Yonghong's glasses clinked together...

……

The next day, several cars and buses were parked in front of the Red Star Feed Factory. Almost all the CZ Municipal Government came out to participate in the acceptance ceremony of the new production line of the Red Star Feed Factory.

Factory director Lin Guoquan and the workers hung big red flowers on the equipment overnight. They also cleared a site, built a stage, and arranged chairs to facilitate the leader's on-site speech.

The leaders who came today were all dressed in suits and looked very smart. Zhang Li also changed into a red cheongsam, which made her tall and slender figure look tall and slim, making her particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

The reconstruction project of the Red Star Feed Factory can be said to be one of the largest township enterprise investment projects in CZ City since this year. It is also the first step in the local comprehensive expansion of rural feed and breeding industries, and will naturally receive great attention.

After everyone gathered in the new workshop, Xu Qiang began to direct the workers to load the materials. When everything was ready, he personally pressed the start button of the machine.

With bursts of motor humming sounds, the materials begin to be crushed, heated, mixed, and finally granulated into particles, all in one go, running very smoothly and steadily.

After exactly half an hour, the discharge port was filled with hundreds of bags of the new feed. After several staff members conducted a careful inspection on site, they announced that the new product had been successfully put into mass production.

Afterwards, there was thunderous applause at the scene. Mayor Xue Zhiqin walked up to Xu Qiang and shook hands with him with a smile on his face.

After everything was over, Xu Qiang drove back to the CZ Municipal Government compound.

"Thank you for your hard work this time." In the mayor's office, Xue Zhiqin personally handed 15,000 yuan in cash to Xu Qiang.

"Thank you, leader!" Xu Qiang took the cardboard box containing the money, thanked him with a smile on his face, and then signed his name on the financial document.

"We worked very well together this time. After all, they are national experts with high skills!" Xue Zhiqin praised Xu Qiang and then said, "I really didn't expect your team to be so efficient. It's so fast that I can't believe it. In the future, we must continue to cooperate more."

"Of course, no problem." Xu Qiang smiled and continued, "If there is a new project, you must call me. Even in front of you, I dare to brag that our chemical research and development team is the best in the country. You will never find a second team with higher level and more efficient work than us!"

"Okay, okay!" Xue Zhiqin smiled and nodded when he heard that.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you in advance. Our team has increased the price of projects we are currently taking on. A product development project starts at 100,000 yuan. And I want to tell you that this is a friendly price. If it were someone else, we would have to pay at least 200,000 yuan!"

Even in front of Mayor Xue, Xu Qiang still dared to ask for a high price. (End of this chapter)
