National Development and Reform Commission, Wang Zhenbin's office.

"Xiao Feng, we are under a lot of pressure right now. ”

Wang Zhenbin sat behind the desk and said to Feng Xiaochen with a sad face.

In order to offset the impact of the global financial crisis on China, the National Development and Reform Commission launched the largest infrastructure investment in history, and thousands of key projects were started at the same time across the country, with a total investment of tens of trillions of unprecedented figures. The scale of construction is large, and there are many unexpected things, and Wang Zhenbin can be said to be trembling every day, for fear that something will go wrong.

But the more you are afraid of going wrong, the faster the fork will come. Two days ago, 25 construction workers were killed in a major accident at the site of a coal-fired power plant under construction in a place called Swwe Son in Nam Giang province, which shocked the central government for a while. The National Development and Reform Commission is the first to bear the brunt of such a big matter, and because the construction of thermal power plants involves major equipment, this matter is also implicated in the equipment company, and Wang Zhenbin invited Feng Xiaochen to discuss because of this.

"The preliminary findings have come out, mainly due to the lack of experience in the construction team and the errors in the construction organization, which led to the accident. Going deeper, that is, our construction scale has expanded too rapidly in the past two years, and the construction force is insufficient. In order to undertake more business, some construction companies recruit a large number of new workers and technicians, who have not experienced on-site training and do not know how to deal with emergencies, thus forming a hidden danger of accidents until such a major accident occurs. Wang Zhenbin introduced to Feng Xiaochen.

"It's a painful lesson. ”

Feng Xiaochen's heart was also very blocked, after all, 25 lives were involved, and this was something that could not be made up for by anything. The equipment of the Seosan Power Plant is provided by the Longshan Electric Power Plant, which is a 1 million kilowatt ultra-supercritical thermal power unit newly developed by the Longshan Electric Power Plant on the basis of the original 600,000 kilowatt unit, and the technical level has reached the forefront of the world. When the Ruishan Power Plant started, Feng Xiaochen was invited by the Longshan Electric Power Plant to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, but he did not expect such a serious accident to occur.

"It was a painful lesson. Wang Zhenbin said, "We have issued a notice to the construction units of major projects, to show them to carefully check the safety production situation, especially to strengthen the inspection and guidance of the construction team with a high proportion of new employees, eliminate potential safety hazards, and avoid similar accidents." ”

Feng Xiaochen nodded and said, "That's right, we must eat a trench and grow wise." Some time ago, the stall we spread out was too big, and the radish was fast and did not wash the mud, and the emergence of various safety hazards was inevitable. ”

"So, according to your opinion, should we shrink the scale of construction?" Wang Zhenbin asked.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head: "There's no need for this, right? Accidents are accidents, construction is construction, if there is an accident, we have to shrink the scale of construction, then we will never think about development." When an accident happens, we just learn our lesson. Some construction units lack experience, and we have strengthened some guidance so that they can gain experience in construction practice, which is the right way. Rationally, there is no accident that does not occur in construction, and all countries in the world have had casualties in construction projects, and I have never heard of any country that has stopped building because of this. ”

Wang Zhenbin sneered: "However, now our NDRC is under such pressure. Several departments have sent us letters asking us to reduce the scale of our infrastructure, and some projects under construction must be stopped for inspection to ensure that there are no safety hazards before we can resume production. ”

"This is the so-called one person gets sick, the whole family takes medicine, right?" Feng Xiaochen said lightly. As an official coordinating the construction of major equipment, he is all too familiar with such a thing, and when an accident occurs in any place, the higher-level unit immediately requires all places to stop work for inspection, regardless of whether these places are innocent or not. To put it bluntly, the occurrence of an accident will affect these superior units, and the losses caused by the shutdown do not need to be borne by the superior units.

"Actually, you can't blame these departments, they are also under a lot of pressure. Wang Zhenbin is quite considerate of others, he said: "I don't know if you have noticed, as soon as the accident at the Ruishan Power Plant happened, those people on the Internet became active again, criticizing our construction project." Gao Lei, in particular, posted more than a dozen articles in a row, and I remember that the title of one article was like this: China's economic express, please slow down and wait for your people. ”

"My sun!" Feng Xiaochen directly burst into a foul mouth. He was originally a Sven man, but because of his perennial contact with the grassroots, he was somewhat infected with the habits of the grassroots, and he would swear if he was not careful. A few days ago, he was presiding over a meeting, but he didn't pay much attention to the news on the Internet, and he really didn't see the article Wang Zhenbin said.

"Wait a minute, the people, such sensational words, it is thanks to Gao Lei to be able to think of it. After Feng Xiaochen scolded, he was not angry, and commented with a smile. He has the impression that Gao Lei is a scholar after all, not to mention how well he is academic, at least he is not very good at this kind of Internet sensationalism. However, this time Gao Lei returned to China, his style has changed a lot, and he has a faint Internet celebrity tendency, and it is reasonable to say such things.

Wang Zhenbin said: "Listening to Zhang Heping from the security department, there is a team behind Gao Lei, which is responsible for packaging Gao Lei. The article I just mentioned should be from Gao Lei's team, just by his name. However, the influence of this article is very large, and it has been reposted hundreds of thousands of times on the Internet, which can be described as a household name. ”

"Some of the departments you mentioned have been pressured by these public opinions, so they are asking the NDRC to reduce the scale of infrastructure?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"Isn't it? Wang Zhenbin sighed, "Now they are all paying attention to online politics, Gao Lei and they are carrying the banner of 'justice', and they have won the support of a considerable number of netizens, and the pressure on relevant departments is very great." If the relevant departments do not make a single statement, it will be difficult to calm the anger of the public. ”

Feng Xiaochen said: "I heard that the relevant responsible personnel have already been detained? What was exposed in this accident was the lack of responsibility of the leaders of the construction units, so why should they stop work for those construction units that do not have such problems?"

The same is true of the NDRC leadership. Wang Zhenbin said with a solemn expression, "The leader said that the cause of the accident must be seriously investigated, and the relevant responsible persons must be dealt with seriously." However, we can't give up food because of choking, we must correct the problematic places, and we can't accompany the medicine if there are no problems. The noise of a few people on the Internet can't affect our decision-making, listening to the horn and the cricket singing, we still don't grow crops?"

"The leader is wise!" Feng Xiaochen celebrated with his forehead.

Wang Zhenbin said: "Don't be busy talking about wisdom first. The leader said that if the masses have questions about our work, we must have the courage to answer them head-on and dispel the doubts of the masses. The leader also said that some time ago, the equipment company engaged in industrialization propaganda and did a very good job, so ......"

"The director doesn't want me to answer the questions of the masses, does he?" Feng Xiaochen asked with some uncertainty.

Wang Zhenbin smiled: "That's right. Now the happiest person on the Internet is Gao Lei, and you are his old opponent. The leader said that you have experience in dealing with Gao Lei, so I want to ask you to talk to the media. ”

"No problem. Feng Xiaochen nodded. He knows that such a big casualty accident has just occurred, and the emotions of netizens are very unstable, and as long as someone provokes it, everyone will become very angry. Gao Lei and they just took advantage of this emotion, fanning the flames and driving the rhythm. In the face of such public opinion, officials who stand up to explain will inevitably suffer the anger of netizens and end up with a disgraced result.

However, if everyone cherishes their feathers, is unwilling to come out and say a fair word, and even in exchange for the favor of netizens, they do not hesitate to cater to Gao Lei and others and make difficulties for the construction of the country, then all the pressure will be added to those who really do things, and in the long run, no one will be willing to do things.

It was determined that he would answer the questions of the masses head-on, and Feng Xiaochen also made some preparations. He also went to the homes of Meng Fanze and Luo Xiangfei to visit them once, and had a long meeting with the two old leaders who had always cared about him. Subsequently, together with Wang Zhenbin, he came to the studio of China Television.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Officials Face to Face program. Today, we are going to talk about an unfortunate incident that happened at the construction site of the Rui Son Power Plant in Nam Giang Province, and I believe everyone is actively paying attention to it these days. Coming to our studio today are Mr. Wang Zhenbin, Director General of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Mr. Feng Xiaochen, General Manager of the State Equipment Industry Corporation. Director Wang is the leader in charge of major project investment, and General Manager Feng is the leader in charge of the research and development of major national equipment.

It is understood that the Ruishan power plant project is a major project that the state started construction during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, and the two 1 million kilowatt thermal power units to be used in the Ruishan power plant are under the command and coordination of general manager Feng Xiaochen, and developed by dozens of national equipment backbone enterprises such as Longshan Electric Machinery Factory after more than ten years of research. According to the information submitted by the Equipment Industry Company, the technical level of this type of thermal power unit manufactured by Longshan Electric Machinery Factory has reached the international leading level, and the energy consumption and pollution levels are better than similar products in Western countries. So, we would like to ask Mr. Feng to explain to us why such a technology that has reached the international leading level will have such a large personal injury accident during the construction period. ”

When the host said this, he gracefully made a gesture to Feng Xiaochen, signaling that Feng Xiaochen could speak.
