Zhu Gang's Trouble

It was already evening by the time they finished unloading the rough parts from the small truck. So, Zhang Yi took Xiao Hua to eat first, then bought some daily necessities and clothes for her.

It wasn't until after 9 PM that Zhang Yi brought Xiao Hua back to the factory. To be honest, buying clothes for Xiao Hua was a real headache, even with her not being picky.

As for where Xiao Hua would live, Zhang Yi planned to arrange for her to stay at his place first. Anyway, his house was big enough, and there were several empty rooms, so it wouldn't be difficult to accommodate Xiao Hua.

Moreover, when hiring Xiao Hua, the system had clearly indicated that her food and lodging during her employment would be covered by him. This way, he could save a little on food and lodging. After all, his funds weren't abundant right now, so every little bit saved counted.

The only headache was how to explain Xiao Hua's origin to his parents. Would they think he had some special hobbies?

Xian County Auto Parts Factory was the largest machinery factory in Xian County, contributing a significant amount of revenue to the county's finances each year. At this moment, Zhu Gang was sitting in his office, looking at the documents in his hand. Just then, there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in!" Soon, a middle-aged man entered.

The person who came in was a workshop director from their factory, and he was holding a part in his hand. However, the workshop director's expression was very poor at the moment; it looked like something urgent had happened.

"Boss! A CNC machine tool in the third workshop has a problem. All the processed parts are scrapped, and even several cutting tools are broken," the workshop director said.

"What's going on? It was fine yesterday. You know, these two CNC machine tools in your workshop were produced by famous domestic manufacturers! Generally, problems shouldn't occur. Go find Master Sun immediately to see what the problem is," Zhu Gang became anxious after hearing the workshop director's words.

You see, the workshop where this director worked was processing a batch of urgent parts. There were only a few days left, but a large portion of the parts had not yet been processed. Of course, if the machine tool hadn't had a problem, they could have finished by having the workers work overtime for a few days.

But now that the machine tool had a problem, things were serious. If they couldn't complete these parts within the specified time, he would definitely have to pay a large sum of money in compensation.

And losing money was a small matter. This batch of parts was something he had obtained from Geely Group after much effort, including treating people to meals and giving gifts. But if things were messed up, not only would the Geely supervisor who gave him the order be in trouble, but it would also be difficult for him to get orders from Geely in the future.

"But boss, Master Sun didn't come to the factory today because he had something at home," the director said.

The Master Sun the director mentioned was actually their factory's machine tool repair master. However, this Master Sun could only solve minor problems with the machine tools. If a machine tool had a major problem, it would be impossible to repair it with the conditions at their factory.

"Call him and tell him to come over quickly. Don't you know how important this batch of orders is to our factory? If we don't do well with this batch of orders, we won't need to take Geely's orders in the future, so what's the point of talking about the factory's development?" Zhu Gang was also anxious at this point.

Because Zhu Gang had only been involved in auto parts processing for a short time. In the past, they only took on scattered jobs with small quantities but very low profits, barely enough to maintain the factory's survival.

This time, by chance, he met a supervisor from Geely Group and used all his skills to finally get an order from Geely. And that supervisor had also made it clear to him that if he didn't do well with this order, his machinery factory shouldn't even think about getting orders from Geely in the future.

When he first received the order, he had patted his chest and guaranteed it to that supervisor. The most important thing was that if he could complete this batch of orders, he could enter the range of Geely's downstream manufacturers in the future, and then his factory's development would not be so difficult.

"Boss, I've already called Master Sun, and he's on his way. However, based on the description of this machine tool, it's very likely that the servo system has a problem.

At the same time, Master Sun said that he had already discovered a problem with this machine tool's servo system a few days ago and had reported it to you, but he never received a response," the workshop director said.

"It's not that I didn't want to inspect this machine tool, but there was simply no time to stop it. I also called the manufacturer before, but the manufacturer said it wasn't a big problem." Zhu Gang thought for a moment. Master Sun had indeed reported this problem a couple of days ago, and he had also communicated with the machine tool manufacturer. The manufacturer said it wasn't a big problem, so he let the machine tool continue to operate. Moreover, given the current situation at the factory, this machine tool couldn't stop at all. If it stopped, this batch of orders would definitely not be completed in time.

Soon, they arrived at the workshop with the problematic machine tool. At this moment, a master in his fifties was inspecting the machine tool in front of it. However, his brows were almost furrowed together, clearly indicating that the problem with this machine tool was definitely not a minor one.

The master who was inspecting the machine tool was the Master Sun they had discussed earlier. At the same time, this Master Sun was the only machine tool repairman in their factory. He was formerly a repair technician at the state-owned machinery factory in Xian County. For ordinary machine tools, no matter how big the problem, he could repair them. But CNC machine tools were different; many things could only be handled by the manufacturer.

"Master Sun, how is this machine tool? Do you have the confidence to fix it?" Zhu Gang asked anxiously as he came to the front of the CNC machine tool.

"Boss! The computer board where the servo system of this CNC machine tool is located is scrapped. With my ability and the conditions of our factory, we simply don't have the ability to repair it. It looks like this machine tool can only be sent back to the factory for repair," Master Sun replied.

"This, this, this, Master Sun, is there really no other way? I think you also know about this batch of parts in this workshop; it concerns the future development of our factory. If it's sent back to the factory, it will take at least a week. How can I wait that long!" Zhu Gang became anxious after hearing Master Sun's words.

"Boss! Call the machine tool manufacturer and see if they can send technical personnel to repair it," Master Sun said after thinking for a moment, seeing Zhu Gang pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Alas! This is the only way. If the manufacturer can send someone to repair it, then there might still be time." After saying that, Zhu Gang dialed the manufacturer's number. To be honest, at this moment, neither Zhu Gang nor Master Sun had much hope for this machine tool.
