In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth anniversary of the first lunar month, and the summer organization plan credit personnel held the first scientific affairs meeting after the Spring Festival. www.biquge.info The contents of this meeting are, first, to implement the plan of decomposing the deposit tasks layer by layer and linking them to floating salaries, and second, to discuss and revise the "Attendance and Performance Scoring Method" in accordance with the new salary plan.

At the meeting, each position will have a sudden drop in income because of the linkage of interests with the new program, and the reaction is very fierce.

Later, the summer turned to another topic, which explained one of the principles of the "Principles of Work on Credit Posts" issued a few years ago: "respect for the principle of objectivity and dialectic".

"Years ago, I talked about the critical principle. Today I would like to talk about respect for the principles of objectivity and dialectic. The implication of this principle is that it is the basic requirement for employees in business integration, credit management, and collection positions to grasp the authenticity and original appearance of the object in the analysis of problems and external coordination. To this end, in the process of judging and screening the object, we use both materialistic and dialectical methods to achieve the goal of seeking truth and pragmatism on the basis of correct judgment, and put an end to the tendency of following the crowd and ignoring right and wrong. ”

Speaking of which, Xia looked at his colleague and said in the way of talking about his experience: "Materialism and dialectics are a good methodology and world outlook for us to understand the world and do a good job in all kinds of work. It is also a prerequisite for avoiding dogma and preventing things from being messed up. Let me tell you a story to show you how important it is to grasp materialism and dialectic. This story is called "Zhangzhidong Iron Works". ”

Summer said:

There is a famous historical building on the edge of the Yangtze River in the hometown of our colleague Huang Hualin, called the Yellow Crane Tower, which is now at the head of the Wuchang Bridge of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. Many literati and writers have been to this upstairs to write poems and lyrics, leaving many famous works through the ages. Among them, there was a poet named Cui Hao in the Tang Dynasty, who wrote a poem of seven laws "Yellow Crane Tower", which can be called a legacy for future generations, when Li Bai arrived at the Yellow Crane Tower, read this poem, and praised and said: "There is a scene in front of me, and Cui Hao's inscription poem is on the top." ”

Cui Hao's poems:

In the past, people have taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower is vacant here.

The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty for thousands of years.

Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree, fragrant grass and parrot island.

Where is the Sunset Township? The Yanbo River makes people worried.

In today's parlance, the protagonist of the story, Zhang Zhidong, is an intellectual who ranked first and third in the 1863 (2nd year of Tongzhi) examination. At that time, the rules were as follows: the first champion of the first class, the second place of the list, and the third place of Tanhua. This Tanhua was only 26 years old at the time.

In 1893 (the 19th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty), Zhang Zhidong, then the governor of Huguang, built the first large-scale iron and steel plant in China to use machine production - Hanyang Iron Works.

In Lake B, Zhangzhidong is still quite famous, not only people often talk about the remains of this "Zhang Wenxianggong" anecdote after the tea and dinner, but also there is a quite prosperous street in Wuh City now, which is called "Zhangzhidong Road". However, this great intellectual, who was promoted to the first place in his early years and later became a "university scholar", made a great appearance in the process of founding the Hanyang Iron Works.

The first is that the equipment bought from abroad is not suitable for using local raw materials at all, and it is a pity that good mines cannot make usable steel.

To set up a factory, the first thing to do is to introduce equipment, which is of course right, the key is what equipment to introduce. Zhang Zhidong doesn't understand this at all, and he is arrogant and can't listen to other people's opinions. Hanyang's equipment is imported from the UK. At that time, Zhang Zhidong sent a telegram to the Chinese minister in Britain, asking him to order a complete set of equipment from Britain. The British manufacturer replied: "To order equipment, you must first send iron ore and raw materials such as coal and coke to the factory for testing, see what kind of steel these raw materials are suitable for, and then customize what kind of furnace." If you don't understand the texture of the ore raw material and prepare the furnace, you will miss a thousand miles. This is ambiguous. China's envoy to Britain conveyed this opinion to Zhang Zhidong, who said disapprovingly: "With the size of China, why not have it? Why do you have to look for coal and iron first and then buy a furnace?

As for the British manufacturers, they were going to do business anyway, and of course they were happy to meet the demands of this ignorant owner, so they made a set of furnaces from the British steel mills and shipped them to China.

After the completion of the Hanyang Iron Works, Daye's iron ore was used. Originally, Daye ore had an iron content of more than 60%, which was a high-grade iron ore, but the steel produced by this equipment could not be used. The reason is that the British equipment is designed according to the raw materials used in the UK, and it is not matched with Daye's ore at all, so that the plant has not been able to smelt a ton of usable steel for more than ten years. As a result, this "Zhang Wenxianggong" has left a laughing stock in modern economic history. Our country's "Historical Materials of Modern Chinese Industry" has also been compiled into Zhang Wenxianggong's big fallacy.

The second thing is that the site selection violates the principle of industrial positioning and wastes a lot of money.

The choice of site was controversial. According to the article "Ye Jingkui Ji Han Yeping": "When choosing the place to build the factory, there are those who propose to set up a furnace in Daye, and Zhang thinks that it is inconvenient to take care of it. For a long time, it was at the foot of Turtle Mountain. Although the situation is convenient, the address is narrow, and the paddy fields in the area have to be operated with huge sums of money. "The filling of the factory foundation alone cost more than 1 million taels of silver, which shows that it was a bloody investment at that time. So why did you choose to build a factory at the foot of Turtle Mountain?

This has something to do with the poem above. Since Zhang Zhidong was born in the exam, he naturally has deep feelings for this poem. He decreed: The ironworks must be built on the Yellow Crane Tower where it can be seen smoking. Since there is a poem as evidence, the most clear place to see on the Yellow Crane Tower is Hanyang, and it is understandable to set up a factory in Hanyang. At that time, the Hanyang Iron Works was located next to Guishan Mountain, behind the current Qingcheon Hotel Building.

As mentioned above, at the foot of Turtle Mountain, in a paddy field, the factory foundation filling alone costs more than 100,000 taels of silver, which is already very stupid. After the completion and construction, Hanyang had no raw materials and needed to transport ore from Daye and coal from Pingxiang. At that time, transportation was inconvenient and became a problem. According to the principle of industrial positioning, first of all, it is required that resources be fully utilized, social labor should be greatly saved, and supply, production, marketing, and transportation should be closely integrated within the nearest distance. In a word, you want to get the best economic benefits. At the same time, industrial production is to turn raw materials into products through the production process, which has changes in weightlessness, modification, and transformation performance. The production of raw materials with a lot of weight loss should be close to the production area of the raw materials; the production of raw materials with less weight loss should be close to the consumption center; all the raw materials with fast chemical reaction and easy to deteriorate should be produced on the spot; and all the products that are flammable, fragile and difficult to transport should be produced close to the consumption area. Wait a minute. These are the minimum knowledge necessary to run an industry, and it is understandable that Zhang Zhidong does not understand these. However, if you don't understand yourself, why can't you be ashamed to ask questions and brainstorm ideas?

The raw materials used in the steel industry are weightless, and generally speaking, the principle of production close to the origin of the raw materials should be considered first. Of course, there are also factors that should be taken into account. In short, "watching the smoke from the Yellow Crane Tower" is definitely not a principle of industrial positioning, this is just one of the laughing stocks left by Zhang Wenxianggong.

The third aspect is: the bureaucratization of enterprises.

Hanyang Iron Works is a mess in terms of operation, and the company is exactly the same as Yamen. According to some newspapers at that time, when the iron factory "supervises the factory once, the whole factory must hang the lanterns, furnish a new one, and the factory staff should wear their crowns, boots and handbooks, and stand on duty to welcome them." Under the supervision, the general and general offices were re-established, with a monthly salary of 200 taels and 1,000 taels, a green sedan chair, a red umbrella soldier, a number of hangers, and all the utensils, food, tobacco and alcohol required in the mansion, all of which were paid by the factory. "And the plant has too many staff, most of whom are relatives and friends of powerful bureaucrats. They do not understand smelting technology or enterprise management, and it is said that they are frolicking all day long, not doing their jobs, and often have no coal or iron to smelt in the factory. The factory broke ground and was put into operation for three years, and in the 22nd year of Guangxu, the investment of 6.5 million taels of silver was used up, and Zhang Zhidong repeatedly asked for funds and could not allocate them. As a result, the Hanyang Iron Works had no choice but to recruit commercial shares, which was changed to a joint venture between the government and business, and threw off the burden.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" said to everyone after telling the story of "Zhang Zhidong Runs an Iron Factory" in the summer: "Zhang Wenxianggong is a celebrity, and we can still buy his anthology in Xinhua Bookstore. However, if a person, whether a celebrity or an ordinary person, deviates from objective reality in his understanding and violates objective laws in his behavior, what he does will be counterproductive to his own purpose. So, we need to learn to apply respect for the principles of objectivity and dialectic, and that is the purpose of this story that I am going to tell today. ”

After the scientific affairs meeting in the summer, they were happy and relaxed, so everyone went home early and was busy with their annual Lantern Festival soup balls. (To be continued.) )
