In the new workshop of the First Branch Factory, Li Ye was leading a technical team headed by Professor Zhao through the production line.
"Professor Zhao, the technical strength of our First Branch Factory is far too thin. It'll be quite difficult to fully implement the new production standards, so we'll have to trouble all of you."
Professor Zhao replied humorously, "No problem. As long as you keep your promise and follow Changbei's standards, the more of this kind of trouble, the better."
Professor Zhao was Tang Mingtai's teacher, and Tang Mingtai was now the technical manager of Changbei Machinery Company. So when Li Ye carried out management and technical reforms at the First Branch Factory this time, he naturally thought of these capable people.
Ordinarily, a production line for 130 trucks was not worth having someone like Professor Zhao personally lead a team to make a move.
But Li Ye's move was simply too generous.
Professor Zhao was a giant in the industry and might not care much for a few banknotes, but the associate researchers and researcher-level technical talents at the institute could not resist the temptation of this sort of "legitimate income."
Ever since 1984, inflation in the mainland had never stopped. Many senior engineers at the professor level had no choice but to take on second jobs after work to subsidize their households.
Even when they set up stalls at night markets late at night, they feared running into acquaintances.
Now Li Ye had offered them this opportunity. Work outside for one month, formulate scientific and detailed production standards for a production line, and they could receive nearly a thousand yuan in "legal income."
And the workers kept calling them "Engineer Li," "Engineer Zhang." That spiritual gratification was even more moving than the money.
