Chapter 121 Professor

Chapter 121 Professor
An hour later, all the masters and apprentices in the transport team tried it once.

Although the method of tire repair is not difficult, it is inevitable that some people do not do it well.

The main reason is that they are still apprentices, after all, their maintenance skills are not that sufficient.

Master Wang glanced at the sun and estimated that it was almost time for dinner.

"Okay, stop looking. It's almost time to eat. Come back and look after dinner."

Everyone didn't think much about it and took their lunch boxes to the cafeteria.

But I was concerned about the tire, so I ate absent-mindedly. I finished my meal quickly and left.

Seeing this, Li Kailang smiled. He also cared about the results.

Everyone hurried to the parking lot and touched the tires that had completely cooled down.

"Okay, don't just watch, install it quickly and give it a try, how about that?" Master Wang ordered.

There were many cars in the parking lot, and the masters started changing tires and pumping air into them with jacks.

"呲-"

A group of technicians looked at the gradually bulging tires with great anticipation.

"Pfft-"

The inflated tire is completely bulging.

"Hush!" Master Wang ordered. The other masters listened carefully to the sound of the tires.

A breeze blew by, raising dust.

"There is no sound. Is there no leak?" Master Zhao asked hesitantly.

"There is definitely no leak. The caller should go stand in the carriage and listen again." Master Wang instructed again.

Soon, a group of apprentices stood up and walked onto the carriage.

After a while, no one heard the sound of air leakage.

"It should be done, right?" Master Wang asked Li Kailang.

Li Kailang nodded. "It should be done. At worst, pour some water and see if there are any bubbles."

Upon hearing this, a craftsman immediately went to get a bucket of water and poured it on the repair site, but still no bubbles were seen.

"It's done, it's done!" Master Wang said excitedly.

Hearing what Master Wang said, the other masters were also very happy.

"It finally worked. The tires in our factory have been saved. We won't be short of tires anymore."

"Yes, even such a big hole can be repaired. I can feel relieved when I go out in the future."

"And there's more! Look at the tire. It can bear such a heavy weight, but it hasn't leaked yet. It must be able to be used for a long time!"

The masters here were commenting and discussing the performance of the repaired tires.

Tires are their daily consumables and are crucial to their driving.

Because the steel mill has a fixed quota of tires, many drivers are unable to apply for new tires, and many trucks have lost their spare tires.

Some tires have had their tread worn off, but are still in use.

If a tire bursts on the road, you can only call someone from the factory to tow it away.

Li Kailang thought it was an 80% new car and had a spare tire.

"Everyone, don't just stand there and go install the tires you made," Master Wang ordered.

Upon hearing this, the masters immediately went to get the tires they had made and pressed them on.

Master Wang turned to Li Kailang and said, "Xiao Li, you have done another good thing for our transport team. I don't know how to thank you!"

"Master Wang, what you said does not mean anything. I am also a member of our transport team." Li Kailang said modestly.

"Besides, even if I wasn't there, someone else would have come up with this idea." Li Kailang didn't dare to take credit for himself.

"Okay, Master Wang, please leave me alone. You should go and see other masters. This is everyone's first time, so be careful of problems."

After saying that, Li Kailang was afraid that Master Wang would lecture him again, so he immediately drove off to see if the other masters needed any help.

"This kid!" Master Wang said helplessly and went to look at other masters.

Half an hour later, the master and his apprentices checked the tires of sixty or seventy people.

Only a dozen tires went wrong and did not meet expectations.

"Okay, don't worry about it. This is the first time for us all. It's okay if we make mistakes. We can learn it by doing it more often."

"Besides, this is a skill. Making mistakes is a good thing!" Master Wang comforted.

Upon hearing this, the faces of those who had made mistakes relaxed, mainly because the others were all good and they were the ones who had done bad things.

Comparing the two, I feel a little ashamed.

Master Wang’s teaching is a little different from other masters.

He encouraged his apprentices to make more mistakes. The more mistakes they made, the more they would understand where the mistakes were and they would naturally remember them clearly, which was more important than doing them well.

Of course, the premise is that the mistakes are not too outrageous, and in the end, Master Wang will be responsible for cleaning up these mistakes.

Master Wang also contributed to the transport team's passing of the exam.

Li Kailang was able to pass the exam because he made most of the possible mistakes.

This will help you to perform well in the exam.

After all, you have made all the mistakes, and if you pay attention to what you should pay attention to, you can avoid them during the exam.

"We still have a lot of tires now, so everyone continue to work and become more proficient. Be more careful this time, and those who have succeeded should not be proud and complacent." Master Wang said sternly.

"Okay, stop looking and just do it."

After that, Master Wang said to Li Kailang, "Xiao Li, after this is done, can you teach the method to the master of the second team?"

"What's the big deal? They are all from our steel mill. There is nothing we can't teach them." Li Kailang said.

At this time, two people came quietly.

I was very curious when I saw a group of people in the parking lot, tinkering with tires.

"Why is the transportation so busy today? Everyone is gathered together?" the man said to Li Kailang.

"Deputy Director Li, why are you here?" Master Wang was interrupted and felt unhappy.

The people who came were Li Huaide and his secretary Wen Peixin.

"Master Wang, I'm so sorry to interrupt you while you were talking." Li Huaide apologized quickly.

Although Master Wang is easy to talk to, he is very capable.

In charge of the maintenance tasks of the transport unit. If Zhang Jinwu is the boss of the transport team in public, then Master Wang is the boss in secret.

Even Zhang Jinwu had to pay attention to what he said.

Li Huaide also knew Master Wang's abilities, so he naturally did not dare to be arrogant.

"No, no, I'm just a small laborer and don't deserve Director Li's apology." Master Wang refused indifferently.

"That's right, you deserve it. I was wrong!" Li Huaide said quickly.

"What's wrong with this old guy today? Is he sick again?" Li Huaide didn't understand what was wrong with Master Wang.

"Okay, you guys chat!" Since he had Li Kailang's consent, Master Wang didn't stay any longer.

"Xiao Li, what's going on with Master Wang?" Li Huaide asked.

Li Kailang shrugged helplessly, "I don't know either."

"What were you talking about just now? Why are you so angry?" Li Huaide asked again.

"Nothing much, just talking about how to fix a tire."

"Method? What method?"

"Look, that's what we saw in front of the factory director." Li Kailang pointed at the people who were mending tires.

"Repair the tire?" Li Huaide asked.

Li Kailang nodded. "That's good. I remember your transport team just applied to change the tires, but the material department didn't agree." Li Huaide thought about this.

"Oh! Really? I didn't know that."

Although Li Huaide is in charge of logistics, he does not have to decide everything.

The request to change the tire was rejected by the Materials Department, and he only found out about this after the rejection.

"Since you are short of tires, I will go and say hello to the Materials Department later, and you can go and apply tomorrow."

"Then I'll trouble you, Director Li!" Why not take advantage of the benefit? Some technicians don't even have spare tires, so they can get some if they have new tires.

Besides, although the tire can be repaired, it is still not as good as a new one.

"By the way, can you apply for a patent for your method of repairing tires?"

In the past two days, Li Huaide has been inspecting various departments to see if there are any new things that can be applied for patents.

Although the results of Li Kailang's patent have not yet come out, he has already received news from his father-in-law.

As long as his application is approved, he will be able to secure his position as deputy factory director.

"Director Li, forget it. This is just a simple method for repairing tires. It's not even worth applying for a patent."

Li Kailang had no choice but to pour cold water on Li Huaide, wondering if he really thought that patents were so easy to apply for.

"Is that so?" Li Huaide said with some regret, "Then you have to work harder, invent more things, and apply for patents."

Li Huaide can only place his hopes on Li Kailang, after all, he is still young.

"Director Li, don't think too much about it. It's good enough for an ordinary person to invent one. I can't think of more than that," Li Kailang explained.

This is also a reminder to Li Huaide.

However, when Li Huaide heard this, he thought it was Li Kailang's excuse and didn't take it seriously.

"Really? Then you have to work harder. You are still young and have a long life ahead of you. I have high hopes for you!"

Li Kailang didn't realize that what he said was 'come up with an invention' rather than 'make an invention'.

However, Li Huaide didn't care.

Since he couldn't apply for a patent, Li Huaide had no interest in staying here.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do so I won't chat with you anymore."

After that, the two exchanged some pleasantries, and Li Huaide left.

---

As soon as Li Huaide left, Secretary Wang arrived.

"Comrade Li Kailang, how is your work recently?" Secretary Wang asked with concern.

"Thank you Secretary Wang for your concern. Everything is going smoothly. Do you have any instructions?" Li Kailang replied politely.

"Nothing, I just came to see you. What are you doing?" Secretary Wang looked around and saw everyone was repairing tires.

Helplessly, Li Kailang could only explain it again.

"Repairing the tire is a good thing! I wonder what the effect is? Can I take a look?" Secretary Wang asked curiously.

"Of course, please go ahead!" Li Kailang said, and then took Secretary Wang to the crowd.

He pointed at the tires on the car and explained to Secretary Wang the repair process and results one by one.

After careful observation, Secretary Wang showed a delighted look on his face and said to Li Kailang, "This is a really good idea. How does the load-bearing effect of the repaired tire look?"

"The load-bearing capacity of a repaired tire is still acceptable, but since it is repaired, it is still relatively easy to break. Just be careful, but don't worry," Li Kailang explained.

"That's good, as long as we can transport the goods." Secretary Wang didn't care. "Are the technicians repairing tires?"

"Yes, there are a lot of tires stored in the warehouse. Now that everyone is free, we should repair them as soon as possible and familiarize ourselves with the craft." Li Kailang explained.

"By the way, do you repair tires? Can I take a look?" Secretary Wang suddenly said.

"No problem, I'll take you there!" Li Kailang said, and took Secretary Wang to his tire.

Because of the tire inspection, Li Kailang forgot that he had repaired the tire.

Secretary Wang's time is precious, so Li Kailang naturally did not waste his time. He just pumped in a little air and then poured water.

"Comrade Li Kailang, why is there bubbling at the repaired tire?"

Secretary Wang asked as he looked at the bubbling at the repaired area.

Seeing this, Li Kailang smiled helplessly, "It's bubbling. It seems that my tire is not repaired."

"Is that so?" Secretary Wang was speechless and didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject.

"By the way, who invented this repair method? Was it Master Zhang Jinwu or Master Wang?"

"Forehead"

"Why, is it inconvenient to tell me?"

"No, Secretary. I actually figured this out on my own."

"Uh" This time it was Secretary Wang's turn to be speechless.

Li Kailang, the inventor of the tire repair method, actually failed to do a good job. How should Secretary Wang respond?

"It's okay. Failure is the mother of success." Secretary Wang encouraged, "There are still many tires that need to be repaired. Just keep working hard. Practice makes perfect."

"By the way, can you apply for a patent for this method?"

Well, it’s the same problem as Li Huaide.

Li Kailang could only explain it again.

"That's a shame, but your method solved the problem of tire gaps in our factory. I wonder if you would be willing to teach it to others?"

"Of course I am willing. This method is not difficult and everyone can learn a new skill. In fact, I learned this method from a tire repairman."

"I would love it if others could learn it!" Li Kailang said frankly.

"Okay, okay, it's an honor for our steel plant to have a young man like you!" Secretary Wang patted Li Kailang's shoulder with satisfaction.

"No, no!" Li Kailang could only be polite again.

"Don't worry, your credit cannot be taken away. I will ask the leaders for credit. What is yours is yours, and no one can take it away from you!"

Secretary Wang patted Li Kailang on the shoulder and assured him.

"Secretary Wang, that's really not necessary. I've already received my reward. Please don't give me any extra rewards." Li Kailang refused.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a person who is superior to others will be criticized by the crowd.

Having already made such a big mistake, Li Kailang doesn’t want to make any more mistakes!
"That won't do. I've seen your method. If other factories can learn it, it will not only help everyone transport materials safely, but also ensure safety."

"After comrades from other factories come to learn, they can save a lot of money for the country, so that more tires can be exported and earn foreign exchange."

"This credit must be given. I can't let you down, so don't refuse it." Secretary Wang said earnestly.

"Otherwise, if other comrades ask you what kind of reward you got, and you say you didn't get anything, how will other comrades in the factory view our factory, and how will other masters view you?"

"If they invent something in the future, will they be able to bring it out? You have to think about other inventors as well."

Secretary Wang said a lot of things in one breath, and Li Kailang was overwhelmed and had no choice but to agree.

After all, Secretary Wang talks a lot and he is right!

"Okay, just wait for this matter, I will handle it for you, you can continue to practice, I will go back first."

After saying that, Secretary Wang left without any further greetings.

"Remember, you need to practice more. You haven't even done this well!"

Secretary Wang criticized Li Kailang for his failed results, causing him to choke instantly.

"Forget it, I'd better practice more. Could it be that as an inventor, I am not as good as other masters? This is unreasonable!" Li Kailang thought to himself.

However, before practicing, he still had to go and discuss with Master Wang about applying for new tires tomorrow.

In addition to this, you also need to apply for tire repair glue and vulcanizer. These two things are indispensable and must be carried in the car in the future.
