It turned out that it was not because Chang Min was busy with work, or because others didn't understand the situation, but Lao Pan directly named him, so Luo Xiangfei would wait for him to come back and hand over this glorious and depressing task to himself. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to Luo Xiangfei's introduction, Feng Xiaochen's first thought was that Lao Pan was angry about what he had done in the past, and he was looking for an opportunity to give himself eye medicine. Thinking about it further, he felt that it was unlikely, after all, the matter of the stone export was caused by Feng Shuyi over there, and Lao Pan did not dare to take him even if he had an opinion on Feng Xiaochen. If he offends him, he crooked his mouth on Feng Shuyi's side, and the future of the stone factory will be bleak.

Thinking about this, Feng Xiaochen felt down-to-earth, knowing that Pan Caishan would not do anything to him, maybe he really liked his talent, so he wanted to borrow him to help. However, in Pan Caishan's opinion, his talent is mainly due to some ghost ideas, which is not a good reputation.

Whether Feng Xiaochen wants to or not, the matter of going to the cold water mine has already been decided. Pan Caishan's request was not too harsh, just to borrow a temporary worker to help, if the Metallurgical Bureau did not agree, it would be impossible to say. As for Feng Xiaochen's own thoughts, Luo Xiangfei may think about it, the party group of the Metallurgical Bureau is disdainful of it, in front of the organization, you are a brick, where to put a brick, do you still need to ask for the opinion of the brick?

In view of the fact that Feng Xiaochen had just returned from Nanjiang and had worked hard all the way, Luo Xiangfei gave him two days off to rest and rest, and then set off for Linhe Province. Feng Xiaochen left the souvenirs he brought from home to Luo Xiangfei, and then went into the city to find Meng Fanze.

Meng Fanze did not stay in the office of the Ministry of Agriculture, but stayed in the procurement station of Linbei Heavy Machinery, Wu Ximin specially cleaned up a room for Meng Fanze, and equipped with tables, chairs, sofas, etc. according to the standards of the minister's office, but the area of the room was slightly smaller than Meng Fanze's office in the Ministry of Agriculture, which was also a helpless thing, because the procurement station really couldn't find a big room.

"You're back, you've been back to Nanjiang for two months, right?"

Meng Fanze sat behind the shiny paint desk and asked Feng Xiaochen, with a kind smile on his face, but Feng Xiaochen could see that the smile was a bit far-fetched, and it didn't seem to be very spirited.

"It's been almost two months. Feng Xiaochen replied, "The new enterprise is very complicated, and many things need to be coordinated. It turned out that the foundation of Tongchuan Agricultural Machinery Factory was too poor, and we hired some retired old workers from Pujiang to set up a platform. In addition, the equipment shipped back from Germany is not the same as that in China, and some technical documents need to be translated, which also takes some time. ”

"I said a long time ago, you will find a stronger company in the coal system and a joint venture with Germany, you have to start a new business yourself, now you know the trouble, right?" Meng Fanze said.

Feng Xiaochen said: "It may be a little troublesome at first, but it will save trouble later." Tongchuan Agricultural Machinery Factory has a poor foundation, just no burden, it is completely a blank sheet of paper, and we can let us paint. If it is a strong old enterprise, the involvement of various relationships will be much more troublesome than the current thing. ”

Meng Fanze nodded and said, "That's what I said." When we were working on the First Five-Year Plan, we also said that a blank piece of paper is easy to draw. Alas, I was not yet 40 years old at that time, and like you, I was strong in blood and was not afraid of getting tired, and there was no word 'difficult' in the dictionary...... Alas, in the blink of an eye, it has been 30 years. ”

When he said this, Meng Fanze had a somewhat lonely look on his face, but it was only for a moment, he suppressed this emotion, and said with a smile: "Since the shelf has been erected, work hard and make the company bigger and stronger." Your oil film bearing, I have found someone to understand, it is indeed a very weak product in our country's technology, I hope you can make good products as soon as possible, to fill the gap in the country. ”

"I know, we'll do it. Feng Xiaochen said. Regarding the real background of Chen Yu Company, he maintained a tacit understanding with Meng Fanze, in fact, Meng Fanze has been able to guess that this company is an out-and-out domestic enterprise, just wearing a joint venture skin. It was precisely because of this that he would say such encouraging words to Feng Xiaochen.

"Are there any difficulties now?" Meng Fanze asked again.

Feng Xiaochen said: "There are some, but we can overcome them ourselves." Yang Haifan, the Chinese factory director over there, is a very capable management talent, and there are also a group of old workers and engineers who are very down-to-earth, and they should have a way to overcome some common difficulties. ”

Meng Fanze said: "Well, if there are any difficulties that can't be solved, you can come here to find me, I still have some old connections, I can help you." ”

"You mean...... You're going to work here in the future?" Feng Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, as if he sensed something.

When he came out of the Metallurgical Bureau, he called Meng Fanze's office, but no one answered. Then he called the general office of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the general office gave him the phone number of the Linbei Heavy Machinery Procurement Station, saying that Minister Meng was inspecting the work at the procurement station these days. Feng Xiaochen didn't think much about it at the time, he went directly to the procurement station, and saw that Meng Fanze had an office here, so he felt that something was wrong. Although Meng Fanze met him for the first time, it was at this procurement station, but he did not have a special office, but talked to him in Wu Ximin's office.

Meng Fanze smiled faintly and said, "What kind of office, I'm just running a 'private' business here." Last month, I was approached by the organization and asked me to take a back seat and become the deputy director of the ministry's advisory board. I thought that since I was no longer in my current position, I didn't have to interfere with the work of the young comrades, so I asked Xiao Leng to arrange a room for me to come out here. ”

Most of the cadres in New China came from the war years. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the directors and directors of many ministries and commissions were in their thirties and forties, which was the age of the prime of life, and there was no pressure to replace the old with the new. By the 60s, before these cadres reached old age, they encountered a movement, were "knocked down" one after another, and spent several years in the May Seven Cadre School.

By the end of the campaign, these cadres were already around 60 years old, at a very embarrassing age. It would seem a bit impersonal to let them retire by the standards of ordinary workers, who have been delayed for several years because of sports. In addition, after the end of the movement, the country faces a series of tasks, and it also needs these old leaders with management experience and courage to take the helm in various positions.

Therefore, veteran cadres like Meng Fanze continued to stay in leading posts, which played an important role in stabilizing all aspects of work in the early days of reform and opening up.

However, the laws of nature cannot be changed, and these elderly people cannot be compared with their youth in terms of energy and physical strength, and the ministers and deputy ministers of some ministries and commissions add up to more than a dozen people, and even one-third of them can insist on going to work, and they have to send a car to pick up people in the hospital at a plenary meeting of the party group of the ministry, and the so-called phenomenon of "holding a meeting with a crutch" and "holding a pillow" is not just a political joke. The pillow mentioned here is actually an oxygen bag, and some old leaders have to inhale oxygen from time to time when they have a meeting, and the work efficiency can be imagined.

Aware of this situation, the central leadership began to step by step to reseat some veteran comrades to the second line, and set up institutions such as advisory committees and research committees in various departments to allow these retired veteran comrades to "give full play to their residual heat." The attitude of the veteran comrades towards this arrangement varied, some of them thought that it was a matter of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and some were very dissatisfied, while others took it for granted, and that when they were older, they should make way for the young people and be able to accept this adjustment calmly.

Meng Fanze is an old leader with a sense of the overall situation, and he has no complaints about letting him take a back seat. But he just laughed at the fact that the ministry asked him to be the deputy director of the advisory committee, feeling that if he was not in his position, he would not seek politics, and since he had retired, there was no need to stay in the ministry all day. The newly promoted deputy minister who took over his post turned out to be his subordinate, and if he appeared in the ministry, the new deputy minister would certainly be very difficult. If you don't ask the old minister for instructions every time, you don't seem to be modest enough, and if you ask for instructions on everything, won't you become a waste?

Thinking of this, Meng Fanze decided not to go to the ministry easily, unless he wanted to listen to important documents, or there were other things that had to be done for him, he would not show up in the ministry. The ministry also left him an office, but he was just locked there and not used.

If you don't go to work in the ministry, it doesn't mean that Meng Fanze can stay at home. The habits he had developed over the years made him feel uncomfortable without doing anything. He asked Leng Shanguo to prepare an office for himself at the procurement station, and he came here to take a look at the information if he had nothing to do, or asked some protégés to talk about his old friends. He nominally said that it was just a small talk of a retired old man, but the content of the chat was all related to the country's economic development.

Meng Fanze has been a leader for so many years, and he has come into contact with and taken care of many people. After knowing that he had retired, some people would come to visit him, chat with him, and relieve his knots. At first, Meng Fanze didn't feel anything, but gradually he didn't like this kind of chat. Everyone has a job, so it can be said that they take time out of their busy schedules to see him, a retired old man, so why does he have any reason to keep people here to talk and laugh?

Leading cadres who have just retired, no matter how open-minded they are, are very sensitive to the warmth and well-being of people. Meng Fanze didn't want people to say that he was an uninteresting old man, so he gradually stopped contacting his old subordinates, and when people said that they wanted to come to visit him, he often politely declined.
