Chapter 171: Tang Tianqiang
Tangshan City.
Yongsan Iron & Steel Plant.
This steel plant is the fourth largest steel smelting enterprise in country Z, with an annual output of 40 million tons of steel, creating economic benefits of hundreds of billions of yuan and a net profit of more than 10 billion yuan.
However, in recent years, due to the slowdown in economic growth, the crude steel and building materials steel market has shrunk seriously, resulting in a sharp drop in steel prices, and the output and efficiency of Longshan Iron and Steel Plant have declined in a large area.
In addition, the price of imported iron ore from abroad has remained high for a long time, and the cost cannot be reduced.
Huge losses, a large number of layoffs, and a difficult transformation have put this steel plant on the verge of bankruptcy and shutdown.
Under this grim situation, Tang Tianqiang was appointed by the city as the director of Longshan Iron and Steel Plant, and he had a huge responsibility to make this factory turn losses into profits.
Tang Tianqiang, a middle-aged man in his early fifties, is slightly blessed, his eyes are bright, he is extremely courageous, he walks in a hurry, and he does things vigorously.
The only drawback is that his temper is too short-tempered and sharp, which offends many people, nicknamed "Tang Laohu", the leader of the city, admires and helplessly treats him, and when he wants to use him, he will arrange some difficult tasks for him, and when he doesn't want to use him, he will be sent to a certain Qingshui Yamen, and he will not be promoted all year round.
But it was such a figure who became the director of the Longshan Iron and Steel Plant, and in less than a year, the production and operation conditions of the plant had undergone great changes.
The loss is still there, but it has been reduced to 30% of the previous year.
After knocking out a few big rats in the factory, promoting a group of capable personnel, and placing them in key positions, the atmosphere has been reversed, and the production efficiency has also been significantly improved.
However, these measures have not yet reversed the fundamental situation.
At the workers' meeting, Tang Tianqiang said to the workers of the all-steel mill: "It is not possible for the steel plant to always do the smelting of low-tech steel such as crude steel and building materials steel, and it is necessary to improve the technical content and realize the upgrading and transformation of the steel mill, from the production of low value-added steel to high value-added alloy steel and high-performance steel!"
That's right, but the transformation of an enterprise is so easy, especially for a steel company as large as Longshan Iron and Steel Plant, how big is the cost of transformation?
Equipment procurement costs, personnel training costs, technology research and development costs, etc., add up to an astronomical amount of more than one billion.
How do you get the money?
The state can't give much, and the city government can't pay so much, and most of them still have to be found by the steel mills themselves.
"I will reduce my own wages first, and other leaders and engineers will also reduce them, and the workers will reduce it a little bit, even if it is saving, and we must save that money!"
Tang Tianqiang first took his own knife, cut his salary from 100,000 yuan per month, to 10,000 yuan, and the deputy factory director, secretary, and senior engineer also cut the same amount.
Scraping together again, selling the warehouse assets, and trying all means, Tang Tianqiang scraped together enough money to realize the transformation of the factory - 1.2 billion.
After the new equipment was bought, the smelting experiment of alloy steel began, and the previous dozens of experiments were declared failures, and the cost of scrapped materials every day exceeded millions.
At the most difficult moment, the remaining funds of the factory were only enough to do one more smelting experiment.
The entire steel mill was shrouded in a depressing, pessimistic atmosphere, and was very desperate.
If this experiment fails again, the steel mill may really be completely finished.
Tang Tianqiang was also anxious, his hair fell out all over the place, he didn't dare to open the furnace for the last experiment, sat in the office, turned on the computer, and frantically searched for information on the Internet, but still found nothing.
Until a weird website, like a virus, popped up on his computer screen.
Techtree.com.
In the steel branch of the material branch, "Smelting of High-strength Nickel Alloy Steel" is impressively listed.
And because the technology is too low-level, this material can be viewed for free.
Day 3.
"We succeeded!"
"The steel mill is saved, the steel mill is saved!"
"Long live Director Tang!"
"Long live the steel mill!"
In the smelting plant of Yongsan Iron and Steel Plant, there were huge cheers!
The first furnace of alloy steel in the steel mill was successfully smelted.
Yongsan Iron and Steel Plant, the transformation has been successful!
Tang Tianqiang gained great prestige.
In the following months, Longshan Iron and Steel Plant turned losses into profits, not to mention the smooth transformation, and also became a key enterprise supported by the state, which can be said to have made a beautiful turnaround.
But problems also arise.
The birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the world is decided, and the heroes retreat.
Tang Tianqiang's mission was completed, and the leaders of the city planned to arrange another position for him, to go to a remote town and become a mayor.
As for the post of director of the Longshan Iron and Steel Plant, it will be taken over by a cadre surnamed Liu.
If it was before, Tang Tianqiang estimated that he would obey the arrangement and give up his position to others, and he was very used to it, and after dealing with the crisis, he was hidden by the leaders who hated him.
But this time......
He didn't plan to move his ass, he wanted to stay at Yongsan Iron and Steel Plant.
Then smelt all the high-strength titanium alloys, rare earth alloys, and nano alloys that need to be charged in the technology tree website to create an alloy empire!
He no longer accepted the city's arrangement, put forward his contributions, argued with reason, and said in front of the leaders that he did not want to change jobs, so he stayed at the Yongsan Iron and Steel Plant.
The leader was very embarrassed, and began to explain principles to him, do his ideological work, and discussed it several times, Tang Tianqiang just didn't eat hard and soft, just didn't move his buttocks.
The superior leaders were furious, and on the grounds of opposing the organizational arrangement, they directly removed him from the position of factory director, and there was no other work arrangement, and planned to arrange early retirement for him after he sat on the cold bench for a few years.
In short, this Tang Tianqiang, who is unorganized and stubborn in his eyes, will never use him again.
Helpless, Tang Tianqiang had to say the "Science and Technology Tree Network", saying that this website has a lot of technical information and is very useful to the country, but this website has formed a binding with him, if he leaves, no one can use these materials, and the loss is immeasurable.
"Techtree?"
The city leader's face changed, and he immediately reported the matter to the above.
As a result, Tang Tianqiang retained his position as "factory director" as he wished, but the word "deputy" was added in front of it.
The director of the factory, or the cadre surnamed Liu who parachuted down, because he was short, frustrated, and always had a fine light in his eyes, Tang Tianqiang called him "Liu Shorty".
After Liu Xiaozi entered the steel mill, the two did not have any conflicts for the first two months, but soon after, Liu Xiaozi's high emotional intelligence side was shown, and he unknowingly pulled a large part of the management personnel in the factory to his side.
Tang Tianqiang, who was immersed in the study of new alloy materials, did not beware of Liu Xiaozi, and after he took advantage of the loophole and formed a larger force, he began to stumble on Tang Tianqiang and slowly put him in the air.
Even the normal smelting experiments were disrupted.
Some key departments in the factory, Tang Tianqiang can't control them.
After discovering that Liu Xiaozi was making trouble behind his back, Tang Tianqiang sternly warned him many times and ordered him not to interfere with his work, but Liu Xiaozi always smiled and agreed in front of him, and there were more and more stumbling blocks behind his back.
Until that day, a batch of materials worth more than 30 million yuan, halfway through the smelting furnace, when the key rare earth powder needs to be put in, the rare earth powder is gone, no matter how to find it, the result is that the time has passed, the materials in the furnace are scrapped, not to mention, but also due to the rapid rise in temperature, the smelting furnace worth 200 million yuan is declared scrapped.
The reason was found out afterwards: the rare earth powder was transferred to other warehouses by Liu Xiaozi, and Tang Tianqiang was not informed.
"Liu Xiaozi, I'll beat you to death!"
Tang Tianqiang, who was furious, rushed into Liu Xiaozi's office, locked the office door, and then beat him violently, almost crippled him, and finally sent Liu Xiaozi to the hospital in an ambulance.
It's a big deal.
It's a big deal!
……
"Master, this kind of incident, not only the existence of Longshan Iron and Steel Plant, but also many enterprises, seems to have a similar situation, resulting in the binder, unable to carry out their work stably. ”
"Master, what should we do with this situation?" asked the assistant.
Zhou Ming shook his head: "I can't control this kind of thing, you send a push to tell this kind of enterprise that if this situation persists and it can't be improved, we will reduce the number of bindings of such enterprises and increase the number of bindings of private enterprises...... This type of business may not even be considered. ”
"Yes, I know the master. ”
According to what Zhou Ming said, the assistant Yiyi sent this push message.
