The staff training was carried out for the first time, and the training materials of the city steel mill were directly copied.

Although the labor discipline of the municipal steel mill is very loose now, as a large state-owned enterprise supported by the city, the surface work is much more beautiful than that of the township enterprises below.

Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng, among other engineers who jumped out of the municipal steel mill, are very familiar with the training materials of the municipal steel mill. They usually undertake the technical training of ordinary workers in the city steel plant, and they also come to Meixi Iron and Steel Plant at hand, and there is no need for any transition period.

Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao, Pan Cheng and others also quickly became familiar with front-line workers through training.

Labor discipline and plant-wide fire and safety education, as the most basic training, were originally planned to be arranged for only three days.

However, most of the front-line workers passed the assessment, which took ten days. There are still a few people who can't get through, so they kicked Shen Huai directly to the town government's comprehensive management office as a sanitation worker.

Although the level of workers is very uneven, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant must assume the responsibility of solving the employment problems in the surrounding rural areas, and some problems must be digested by itself.

The use of night training, strict requirements to the degree of harshness, is the steel mill workers have not experienced before, but to participate in the training, you can make up for the first three months of arrears of wages, through the assessment, can also be doubled the working hours to calculate overtime wages, formal post and then two levels of wages, even if they feel very hard, the workers have nothing to complain about.

When have the workers of the steel mills ever seen overtime pay for double working hours? In '93, there was not even a formal labor law in China.

If there are complaints, it is people like Hu Zhigang.

Hu Zhigang recommended him as a special assistant, and his salary was raised by two levels, but as a reserve member of the management team, Shen Huai said, overtime was their due contribution to the steel mill.

Therefore, the management team of 26 people has to work overtime until 11 or 12 o'clock almost every day, and they also take turns to be on duty at the steel mill, but they do not have a dime of overtime pay.

The entire management team, in addition to participating in all aspects of production rectification, is also responsible for the task of training ordinary workers. There are also various deficiencies in their own abilities, and they need to learn by doing, which is very hard, but under Shen Huai's iron-fisted policy of governing the factory, if they don't want to be kicked out, everyone can only grit their teeth and insist.

At present, the steel mill has serious employees, and the potential of production capacity cannot be tapped quickly, but Shen Huai still continues to pull people from the city steel mill through Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao, Pan Cheng, and even sometimes through Xiong Wenbin.

For the engineers and skilled workers who came from the city's steel mills, Shen Huai was all offered a basic salary that was double the income of the city's steel mills. There is no way, the technical force of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is too weak, and it will take a long time to train enough qualified engineers and technicians by itself.

The annual output of the city steel plant is twenty or thirty times that of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, the number of employees is nearly ten times that of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, and there are hundreds of intermediate and above technicians and engineers. This is the foundation accumulated by the city steel mill for decades.

Shen Huai didn't dig the foot of the city steel mill at this time, who did he dig?

Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is in a very bad situation in the Donghua Iron and Steel Industry, but because of the rolling incident, many technicians and engineers who are not reused in the city steel mill are willing to be demoted to Meixi Iron and Steel Plant even without a salary increase.

In about half a month, the technical strength of the three production lines of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, as well as the public works and machine repair warehouses and other departments, have been greatly strengthened.

Although Shen Huai participated, his main energy in the early stage was to clean up the current financial situation of the steel mill.

In the early 90s, triangular debt was a stubborn problem faced by enterprises.

The export of steel from Meixi Iron and Steel Plant was previously monopolized by Wanhu Company, and the price was maliciously depressed, but it also brought a benefit, that is, the money owed by Meixi Iron and Steel Plant was mainly concentrated in Wanhu Company.

It is also because the main supplier of charge materials for the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is Pengyue Trading, which is closely related to Wu Haifeng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and the Zhou family, Pengyue Trading will exert pressure to urge Wanhu Company to pay the steel mill's pressure if it wants to get the payment from the steel mill in time.

In fact, when Shen Huai took over the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, Wanhu Company pressed the steel mill with less than 20 million yuan.

Wanhu Company naturally did not pay back all the arrears obediently, so Shen Huai assigned a deputy factory director to report to Wanhu Company every day, blocking the door of the other party's financial office and the manager's office to collect the arrears.

Wanhu Company delayed and delayed, but it did not dare to make any trouble for Shen Huai on the eve of Tan Qiping's appointment, and each time it symbolically repaid more than 100,000 or 200,000 arrears to pass it away, so as not to stiffen with each other, which also supported the current production capital needs of the steel mill.

When cleaning up the finances of the steel mill, Shen Huai also saw that the financial work of the steel mill was indeed the only bright spot in the steel mill that could make him feel comfortable under the auspices of Guo Quan and Qian Wenhui.

No matter how the affiliated enterprises suck the flesh and blood of the steel mill through various means, the internal accounts of the steel mill are very clear, so Shen Huai can grasp the financial status of the steel mill as quickly as possible.

After the expansion and reform of the steel mill in the late eighties, the output value fluctuated around 100 million yuan. If the financial level is on par with that of ordinary township enterprises, the accounts of the steel mills have accumulated over several years, and there is no time for two or three months to clean them up, and it is impossible to sort out the financial and asset status of the steel mills.

Looking at the financial statements, since eight or eight years later, the steel mill does not calculate the depreciation of equipment, and the annual loss is still about two million yuan, Shen Huai looked straight at it.

With the maintenance of the previous facilities of the steel mill, no matter how good the production line is, it can be used for ten years at most. Counting depreciation, the annual loss will be more than 10 million.

The foundation accumulated by steel mills in the past three decades has been almost completely lost in the last three or four years.

Shen Huai finally asked Qian Wenhui, as well as Guo Quan, who participated in the financial audit of the steel mill as the deputy director of the town's enterprise office, to calculate the value of equipment assets with a depreciation period of 20 years, and also calculated the value of 600 mu of industrial land originally allocated by the town free of charge, as well as some ancillary buildings, and finally reluctantly came up with a financial report on assets with total assets of 120 million, net assets of 40 million, and arrears of bank loans of 80 million.

It only took half a month to clarify the assets of the steel mill, Guo Quan and Qian Wenhui's financial work should be very good, but such a financial report was placed in front of the conference table, which made Shen Huai's heart difficult to relax.

The principal of the loan owed to the bank does not need to be repaid for the time being, but the interest will be 400,000 yuan per month. This is the result of a lot of work done by the county and the city, and the bank agreed to a significant reduction in interest.

The day before Tan Qiping officially arrived in Donghua to take up his post, in the large conference room of the factory office of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, Shen Huai looked at the just-released financial report, frowned, and thought of deeper issues.

Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Hu Zhigang, Xu Wendao, Guo Quan, Qian Wenhui and others sitting in the conference room could see the worry in Shen Huai's eyes.

Of course, they didn't feel worried, but felt that Shen Huai was too demanding on themselves and the steel mill.

Half a month has passed, and staff training has just started, and it is impossible to pull up production capacity immediately.

Yang Penghai's Penghai Trading Company also officially signed a distribution contract and became one of the distributors of the steel mill, but the payment for the goods at one time was only 200,000 yuan, and everything seemed to have just started.

However, the effective improvement of the overall production situation can be felt by all managers involved in the production rectification.

Under the iron-fisted policy, everyone can wear work clothes, labor protection shoes, and safety helmets according to the scale, and put an end to serious violations of discipline such as skipping shifts, smoking, gambling at work, and stealing and selling steel mill materials.

Other production and sales data, the statistical period is long, half a month, and people do not see too many obvious improvements, but the yield of each furnace billet is required by Shen Huai to be calculated and reported every day.

This is also the data that most directly reflects the results of production line reorganization and whether the quality of production management has been improved.

Before and after Shen Huai's rectification of production, the billet yield rate was less than 80% at the beginning, and in just half a month, only by strengthening labor discipline and supplementing the technical force recruited from the city's steel mill in key technical positions, it was stable at more than 84 or 85%.

This means that even if other conditions do not improve, in the absence of other inputs, the steel mill's annual steel sales can increase by as much as five or six million, which is also a net increase in profit.

As long as this kind of rectification can continue, so that the billet yield rate reaches the current level of 89% of the city's steel mills, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant will be able to successfully get rid of the loss-making situation.

The key is that the goal of 89% billet yield rate of the city's steel mills is not difficult to achieve, and it can also be said to be one of the goals that must be achieved in the early stage of production rectification.

At the beginning of Shen Huai's takeover of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, almost all the management of the steel plant, including Xu Xiting, did not think that Shen Huai had the ability to save the steel plant, let alone believe that he could take the steel mill on the track of take-off.

After all, Shen Huai is too young, relying on the backstage, and his posture is unusually tough, which makes everyone mistakenly think that he is a stubborn, arrogant and arrogant guy.

This kind of person, no matter how high the IQ is, no matter how hard the background is, has no actual industrial management experience, he is more likely to fall into a deeper abyss with the steel mill.

However, in just half a month, Shen Huai's ultra-high management level and proficient in production carding under the tough posture of managing the factory with an iron fist, not to mention the half-members of the original management, that is, Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao and other professionals who have a deep understanding of the steel industry are also amazed.

Of course, there is nothing more exciting than the hope of a direct steel mill turning a profit. At least at this moment, everyone sitting in the conference room admitted from the bottom of their hearts that Shen Huai had the ability to save the steel mill and lead the steel mill to take off.

"The steel mill has been greatly improved in half a month, which is obvious to all. Even in front of Director Xiong, I have to say that the level of Director Shen is no worse than that of Director Xiong in the city's steel mill. Within three months, we are confident that we can achieve the goal of billet yield on par with the city's steel mills. This should already be very encouraging, Director Shen, shouldn't we also be able to relieve pressure?" Xu Xiting said jokingly.

Shen Huai's distracted mind pulled Xu Xiting's joke back, and laughed, the situation of the steel mill can be greatly improved, not so much that his ability is excellent, but that the foundation of the steel mill is too bad, so with a little rectification, you can see obvious results.

As for the goal of the city's steel mill, Shen Huai also smiled in his heart.

In terms of management level, the city steel mill may not even be able to squeeze into the third-rate steel enterprises in China. If you only aim at the current management level of the city's steel mills, you will look down on yourself too much.

However, the foundation of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is too poor and the pressure is too great, but it is prone to other unexpected situations.

Shen Huai said with a smile: "The manager's duty is still the same, the other personnel will rest normally tomorrow, and I have something to ...... tomorrow."

Zhao Dong knew that Tan Qiping would come to Donghua tomorrow to take up his post, which Shen Huai could not be absent from, and they only got a day's rest for half a month.
