Chapter 68: The Man Who Specializes in Miracles

Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Rao Shutian and the others were silent. Zhou Heng has only been in office for two months, but the middle-level cadres have already understood his work style. He is not a self-righteous leader, he is still willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates in everything, but he is definitely not an unassertive person, once he has made up his mind about something, he will unswervingly carry it out, and will not be easily swayed by the opinions of others. Now that he insists that the task must be completed within a month, what else can anyone say?

"Director Rao, Director Cheng, do you estimate that there is still much potential in the workshop that can be excavated? Such a tense task, the factory will definitely not hesitate to overtime pay and bonuses, you can preliminarily calculate a bonus amount, as long as it is reasonable, the factory should be able to consider. Wu Weiqin said.

He knew that Rao Shutian and Cheng Wei came to complain, and some of them must be to negotiate with the factory about conditions, such as overtime pay and bonuses. On this issue, Wu Weiqin and Zhou Heng also exchanged views, Zhou Heng believes that for such an urgent task, it is completely acceptable to give some bonuses to the workshop, and the amount of bonuses can also be relatively relaxed.

In fact, due to poor management in recent years, the wages of employees have not been adjusted for a long time, and the bonuses have not been related to the employees, and the income level of the employees has been far lower than the average level of Linhe City. Zhou Heng considered that if the business situation of the factory could improve significantly, it would be necessary to gradually increase the income of all employees in the factory. During this period, it can be achieved in the form of bonuses first, and then gradually transition to relatively fixed forms such as performance pay. Previously, the factory decided to pay business commissions to salesmen and design bonuses to technical departments, all of which were based on the same considerations. Now it's the turn of the production link, and with such a tense task, it is reasonable to give some bonuses to the workers on the production line.

Sure enough, hearing Wu Weiqin's promise, Rao Shutian and Cheng Wei obviously had laugh lines on their faces. However, they just showed a little joy, because the difficulties they had mentioned before could not be completely solved by giving out a little bonus.

"If the incentives in the factory are strong enough, we can call on the workers on the shop floor to work overtime to improve work efficiency. However, even if this is the case, about 35 sets can be completed in a month, which is the limit, and I guess I will have to hold the cover and roll it under the iron-making furnace to do it. Rao Shutian said.

"I'm also going to take a cover and roll it up to the workshop, gritting my teeth, it's 35 sets a month, and this has to be the quality of the castings on Lao Rao's side is good enough, and there are no defects such as bubbles and trachoma. Cheng Wei said.

Rao Shutian smiled bitterly and said: "How can there be castings that do not leave bubbles and trachoma? If you want the quality of the castings to be good, my speed will not be able to rise." If the speed is fast, the defect rate will definitely increase, and this is the dialectic. ”

"I'll argue with you!" Cheng Wei laughed and burst into foul language. He has a good relationship with Rao Shutian, and it is common for him to greet each other's families.

Gu Zengchao said: "I also think that this is almost the limit of the casting workshop and the lathe workshop. In the future, there are milling workshops, grinding machine workshops, and assembly workshops, and the situation is almost the same. We are now in charge of 43 balers, and if we have 45 days, we should be able to complete them all. To be delivered in one month, unless ......"

"Unless what?" Zhou Heng asked sensitively.

Gu Zengchao was speechless for a moment, then snorted and said, "Unless it is the ancestor manifestation." I think it's too difficult. ”

He snorted, but the expression on his face was not relaxed, which made Zhou Heng feel that the "unless" he wanted to say just now should have some other suffix, but he swallowed it back for some reason.

Gu Zengchao was reluctant to say it, and of course Zhou Heng couldn't force him to say it. He looked at the crowd and said, "Then let's do it first, and then let's think of ways to do it while we do it, and see if there are any means to improve efficiency." Director Rao and Director Cheng, after you return to the workshop, you will first do mobilization work to make everyone energetic. This business is the beginning of our Linyi machine to win the battle of turnaround, if it is done well, it can attract follow-up orders, and our Linyi machine's turnaround is just around the corner. You have to tell the workers that this is not working for the factory, but for the people themselves. ”

"Understood!" Rao and Cheng replied in unison. Rao Shutian said: "Director Zhou, everyone is very excited when they hear that there is a new business in the factory, and they don't need us to mobilize, the workers have already made a statement, saying that they are willing to work overtime and can't let the business in hand run away." When I go back to convey the meaning of the factory, I told them that Director Zhou personally promised to give everyone a bonus, and I believe that their enthusiasm for work will be even higher. ”

"The bonus is not a problem, if the task can be completed on time, quality and quantity, I promise that the average bonus of each workshop according to the number of workers is not less than 50 yuan. Zhou Heng said.

"That's great!" Rao Shutian and Cheng Wei both replied happily.

"Lao Wu, Xiao Gu, you two, work hard these days, go to the various workshops to keep an eye on, solve the problems on the scene in time, and report to me in time if there is anything that can't be solved. ”

"Understood!"

"Lao Qin, the technical department must also hurry up. In terms of process, it is not necessary to be able to optimize a little bit and not necessarily need an absolutely perfect solution. Let everyone work hard, the necessary incentives, you can make your own decisions. ”

"No problem!"

Things can only go so far, many problems have to be solved in the production process, and it is useless to rely on everyone to grind their lips here. Zhou Heng said that he will often go to the workshop these days, and the focus of the whole factory's work in the next month is the production of more than 40 balers, and all resources will be inclined to the production line.

After the meeting, everyone left the venue one after another and went back to their posts. Gu Zengchao waited until the end, seeing that everyone else had left, and then said to Zhou Heng, who was packing up his notebook: "Director Zhou, I still have some other things, I want to delay you for a while, I don't know if it's appropriate?"

Zhou Heng saw Gu Zengchao's grinding appearance just now, and combined with the sentence he swallowed back before, he guessed that he was going to talk to him alone. Hearing Gu Zengchao's words, he smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, what's wrong with this, if there's anything, just tell me at any time." Let's go, let's talk in my office. ”

The two came to Zhou Heng's office. Zhou Heng beckoned Gu Zengchao to sit down, and made him a cup of tea with his own hands, then sat down opposite Gu Zengchao, and asked with a smile: "What, is there something that is not suitable for everyone to hear?" Just now you said 'unless' at the meeting, I think you must have something in mind." ”

"Hehe, I actually let Director Zhou hear it. Gu Zengchao said with a smile. However, the smile on his face only lasted for a second, and then he put away his smile and said, "Director Zhou, I did think of a solution just now, but then I didn't think it was appropriate, so I didn't say it." ”

"What is the solution? As long as it can solve the problem, what is inappropriate?" Zhou Heng said.

Gu Zengchao said: "I just heard Lao Rao and Lao Cheng emphasize the difficulties, and Chief Engineer Qin also said that it is difficult to optimize the process, so I pondered that if the factory must complete this batch of tasks within a month, only one person can do it." ”

"Who?" Zhou Heng asked.

"Tube. Gu Zengchao said solemnly.

"Old Guan, Guan Zhiming?" Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, and a name blurted out, and at the same time, his face became solemn.

Gu Zengchao nodded and said, "That's right, it's the director of the factory." I think that only the director of the factory can do this, if even he can't do it, then this matter will definitely not be done, and we don't need to be ambitious. ”

"I should have thought of him a long time ago. Zhou Heng sighed and said quietly.

Guan Zhiming, the former deputy director of Linyi Machine, in charge of production work, was arrested two months ago for being involved in the corruption nest case of the Linyi Machine leadership team, and was just sentenced to eight years in prison a few days ago, and is now serving his sentence in Nanwu Prison in Dongye Province.

Zhou Heng knew Guan Zhiming at least 20 years ago, and he also knew the experience of this black-faced man. Guan Zhiming education level is not high, in 1958 into the factory apprentice, has done lathe, milling, fitter and other types of work, because of good understanding, willing to endure hardships, serious work attitude, was quickly promoted to team leader, then section leader, workshop director, production director, until the deputy director in charge of production.

He is proficient in the production process, familiar with the production process, mingles with the workers, and is especially good at organizing urgent production tasks. There are five or six stories that Zhou Heng knows about Guan Zhiming leading the assault to complete the urgent task. On several occasions, the tasks were assessed by a number of experts and concluded that they would never be completed on time, but Guan Zhiming miraculously completed them.

But such an expert in production was involved in corruption cases. It is determined that the amount of corruption he is suspected of has reached more than 300,000 yuan, which is considered a big corruption in this era.

When he heard that Guan Zhiming was arrested for corruption, Zhou Heng also sighed with emotion. However, the state has national law, the evidence of Guan Mingming's crime is conclusive, and he himself confessed, and there was nothing unjust in his sentence. It's just that Linyi Machine lacks such an expert in production, and it is replaced by such an "airborne cadre" as Wu Weiqin, and its strength has indeed been greatly affected.

Of course, Wu Weiqin is not incompetent, otherwise the Second Bureau would not have transferred him to take up his post. But in my heart, there is still a big gap between his production experience and Guan Zhiming, and he is not familiar with the workers, equipment and production processes in the factory, so it is very difficult to create miracles like Guan Zhiming.

Gu Zengchao turned out to be the deputy director of the production department of Linyi Machine, because the director was dismissed, he was promoted and became the new director. To organize ordinary production, Gu Zengchao is competent, but this time the task is extremely stressful, and it is necessary to maximize the potential of the Linyi machine, and Gu Zengchao thinks that he has no such ability. Not only that, but he also knew that Wu Weiqin, the current deputy director of production, was not capable of this. In a hurry, he remembered Guan Zhiming, a person who is good at creating miracles.
