Chapter 59 First Steps into the Steel Rolling Mill
After pretending to have eaten breakfast, Li Qin casually closed the door and left the courtyard.
His main destination today is the steel rolling mill.
However, it was still early, so Li Qin didn't rush to the steel mill. Instead, he found a secluded spot and went into the planting space.
He needs to complete today's "task" first.
He first fed all the poultry and livestock cubs in the space with magical feed.
To prevent forgetting to feed these poultry and livestock in the future, Li Qin set up an automatic feeding system using a magic spell.
Then he began harvesting the grains, vegetables, and fruits for the day.
After completing three rounds of harvesting, nearly two hours had passed.
It was nearly ten o'clock when Li Qin left the planting space, carrying a shrunken magical suitcase, and began leisurely heading towards the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is not far from the courtyard house.
It's about three or four kilometers, definitely not more than five kilometers.
Even if you walk, it's only a half-hour walk.
Although Li Qin could have used Apparition directly, he ultimately chose to walk there.
It's also a way of experiencing the spirit of this era.
It must be said that the conditions of this era were truly harsh, but the spirit of most people in this era was far superior to that of modern times.
People of this era possess a genuine, positive, and upward-looking spirit.
Of course, this only applies to the majority of people; there are also some oddballs who are different.
For example, those beasts in the courtyard house.
Half an hour later, Li Qin had arrived outside the steel rolling mill.
Looking at the steel rolling mill in front of him, Li Qin's lips curled into a mysterious smile;
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be staying in this place for a long time to come."
A steel rolling mill is no ordinary factory; its importance is naturally considerable.
Li Qin could see from afar that there were several guards on both sides of the gate, and the key point was that all of these guards were carrying guns.
Moreover, they were all loaded with magazines and ready to be used at any time.
During this period, there were still quite a few enemy agents in Beijing, who went to great lengths to sabotage the country's development.
Heavy factories like steel rolling mills were prime targets for enemy agents.
Without strong military deterrence and protection, the steel mill would have been destroyed long ago.
Although the guards' firearms were quite intimidating, Li Qin did not hesitate at all and walked straight into the factory.
It wasn't that Li Qin was reckless, but rather that he was currently under a transformation spell, and to prevent making any noise.
He also very carefully put on a "silent" cover.
In this way, both footsteps and breathing sounds will be completely concealed, without revealing anything.
To avoid being detected.
Li Qin originally thought that the steel rolling mill was just starting to expand, but he found out after entering the factory.
In fact, the steel rolling mill had already been largely expanded by this time, with corresponding workshops, factory buildings, warehouses, canteens, etc.
It's basically all built up, and it's just waiting for the final touches to be completed before it can be put into use.
Seeing this, Li Qin immediately knew that he really needed to speed up the work.
Strolling through the steel rolling mill, Li Qin saw Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu busy in the fitter's workshop.
I also saw Liu Haizhong working in the third forging workshop;
We also saw He Yuzhu busy in the kitchen of the No. 1 canteen.
......
However, Li Qin only glanced at these things casually before walking away.
His biggest concern was the factory's leaders.
"When watching TV dramas, I thought the highest leader of the steel rolling mill was the factory director, Yang Damin. I never expected that the highest leader was actually the factory party secretary."
Li Qin was standing in front of a three-story building inside the factory.
The leaders of the steel rolling mill almost all work in this small building.
It doesn't matter whether it's the factory party secretary, the factory director, or the deputy factory director.
Li Qin discovered that he didn't recognize any of them.
At this time, the factory director Yang Damin and the deputy factory director Li Huaide were not yet the factory director and deputy factory director.
Yang Damin is currently just a section chief in charge of production at the steel rolling mill.
Li Huaide was the deputy director in charge of logistics.
"Based on normal promotions, being in this position now is quite reasonable."
The factory's leadership structure, from lowest to highest, is as follows: clerk, staff member, deputy section chief, section chief, deputy director, director, deputy factory director, factory director, and factory party secretary.
The higher the level, the more difficult it is to continue to advance.
The longer it takes, the better.
Yang Damin and Li Huaide are currently only at the section chief level. It would be reasonable for them to be promoted to factory director or deputy factory director in 1989.
Through this stroll, Li Qin realized that the steel rolling mill had quite a few departments.
Logistics Department: Purchasing Section, Canteen, Transportation Section, Publicity Section, Guesthouse, Staff Hospital, Staff School...
Administrative departments: Personnel Department, Archives Department, Labor and Wages Department, Finance Department (Accounting), Technology Department, Supply Department, Dispatch Department, Workshop Director.
Other departments: Discipline Inspection Commission, Women's Federation, Trade Union.
The People's Armed Forces (Armed Security Section) is a special department. It is directly managed and coordinated by the Party Committee, and other leaders in the factory have no authority to interfere.
Even the factory manager couldn't get involved.
This observation gave Li Qin a deeper understanding of the steel rolling mill.
However, they now have a clearer idea of what to do next.
"Based on previous observations, the relationship between Yang Damin and Li Huaide is not as strained as it will be later; they are mostly minding their own business."
And Li Huaide did indeed act as depicted in the story.
Li Qin stroked his chin, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
After determining Li Huaide's personality, the next step was to find out where he lived and then visit him at his home.
As for how to determine Li Huaide's address, that was even simpler.
Li Qin casually summoned a bird and had it follow Li Huaide from a distance until Li Huaide returned home that evening.
Li Qin naturally learned the other party's exact address by observing the flying birds.
After completing these steps, Li Qin used Apparition to leave the steel rolling mill.
This time, he did not return to the courtyard house, nor did he go to Baihua Mountain. Instead, he went to the outskirts of Beijing.
After more than a day of exploration by flying birds, the area of the map that Li Qin had illuminated was getting larger and larger.
The Chaoyang, Fengtai, and Haidian districts near Beijing have basically all been lit up;
As for those further away from Beijing, they are some counties.
So far, only the map of Changping County has been illuminated;
As for the remaining counties of Yanqing, Miyun, Pinggu, Huairou, Shunyi, Tongxian, Daxing, and Fangshan, more time is needed for exploration.
At this moment, Li Qin was in a mountain in Changping County.
Through the bird's exploration, it was discovered that there are many wild animals such as wild boars, wild deer, and wild wolves in this mountain.
Li Qin came here primarily for two purposes;
One reason was to supplement their diet with wild boar meat, and the other was to collect some wild animal cubs from the mountains.
The ten acres of forest within the planting area, due to the effects of Li Qin's repeated use of the Crazy Growth Curse, are now comparable to those century-old forests.
Although the environment has improved, there is a lack of animals.
