Chapter 55 Rectification (2) There must be a team to do things
The second update, ask for red tickets, ask for collection)
Shen Huai asked Xu Xiting again: "Yesterday there was a worker named Hu Zhigang, who was quite active, what does XCMG think of him?"
"Oh, it's the backbone worker of the electric furnace steel workshop, and it's the deputy leader of the slab continuous casting section" Xu Xiting was worried that Shen Huai was not familiar with the technical terms of the steel industry, Shen Huai just nodded and asked him to continue,
"Although Hu Zhigang is only a graduate of secondary school, he is a person who is very willing to use his brain to do things, but he is a little too aggressive, and he does not get along with the management in the workshop, otherwise there is no big problem to directly serve as the team leader of the continuous casting section. Xu Xiting cautiously commented on Hu Zhigang and did not say too much.
To rectify production, in the final analysis, there must be someone who can use it, not many of the previous management can stay, most of them have to be replaced, Shen Huai is most lacking at this time is people, lack of capable and enterprising people.
Shen Huai can naturally hear the subtext of Xu Xiting's evaluation of Hu Zhigang, but he never thinks that it is really bad to have a prickly employee who is aggressive and not liked by the leader.
An employee like Hu Zhigang is exactly the catfish that Shen Huai needs to be able to stir up the water, and he is willing to use his brain to do things, which is very good.
With a technical secondary school degree in '93, he was able to take the position of deputy section chief of the workshop of the city's steel mill by virtue of his own ability, which shows that the level of all aspects is above the standard; yesterday's taking the lead in making trouble shows that he also has prestige among ordinary workers; and there are really some shortcomings, which can be strengthened in the future.
As for Xu Xiting's little dislike for Hu Zhigang, Shen Huai didn't care.
Xu Xiting, 45 years old, graduated from Huaihai Mining University in his mid-60s.
He is thin and small, does not look good-looking, has been criticized for mistakes in the seventies, and has a conservative and cautious temperament. He obviously doesn't like young people who are too aggressive and sharp, Shen Huai thought to himself: Maybe Xu Xiting also disagrees with what he did yesterday, right?
Hu Zhigang soon came to the factory office with a set of washed work clothes and hard hats, a group of old men, Shen Huai directly changed into work clothes in the conference room, and felt a little fat.
Shen Huai was as tall as Hu Zhigang, but his figure was not as burly as Hu Zhigang, put on his helmet, and said to Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong:
"Let's just go straight into the factory and talk while watching. ”
Shen Huai said to Hu Zhigang who was leaving,
"At present, I have to select one or two outstanding young workers from each of the two workshops and departments of the steel mill to serve as my special assistant temporarily. XCMG just mentioned the electric furnace steel workshop and recommended you. Would you like to be my special assistant? Of course, this is only a temporary position, and there will be no additional salary. ”
Hu Zhigang couldn't understand what kind of position the "special assistant" was for a while, but when he thought about it, he also knew that the "special assistant to the factory director", even if it was temporary, even if there was no additional salary, it could not be a bad errand.
There are only three main production lines in the whole factory, with a total of 500 front-line workers, and there are only three to six special assistant places, which can be said to be as scarce as the workshop director.
Hu Zhigang took the lead in leading the team to make trouble, which was dissatisfied and angry with the status quo of the steel mill, but it did not mean that he was unwilling to participate in changing the status quo of the steel mill.
Yesterday, after listening to Shen Huai's inspiring and direct words, Hu Zhigang was also excited and didn't sleep for half a night, but he didn't expect to get up early today and rush to the factory today, and meet Shen Huai, and immediately get such an important opportunity.
"Okay, then we'll go directly to the electric furnace steel workshop......," Shen Huai said.
Shen Huai can't kick out the management immediately, and he can't hastily convene a staff meeting before he gets to the bottom of the steel mill, so the existing management has to use it temporarily.
However, in order to ensure that the existing management does not secretly stumble or deliberately slack off his work, Shen Huai plans to select a group of outstanding workers from the grassroots level and various departments who have prestige, ability and enthusiasm among the staff cadres to form a temporary quasi-management composed of "special assistants to the factory director" to ensure the smooth operation of the steel mill during the transition period, and also to prepare for the formation of the new management.
On the way to the production area, Shen Huai communicated his thoughts with Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong:
"I will directly lead this temporary special assistant team, but I want XCMG to check for me, and Zhao Dong will play a central role in it - I will have people prepare dormitories for the two of you in the dormitory building, and during this time, I will ask the two of you to nail them in the factory like nails. What do you think about this from Mrs. Sister-in-law and Mingxia, you can say hello for me......"
Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong both smiled.
Hu Zhigang followed behind, and his heart was boiling when he heard it.
It is obviously unrealistic to say that it will be delayed to the staff meeting and then change the management through the ring. Hu Zhigang was able to fully understand the role of the temporary special assistant team that was about to be formed, and how important it would be to those who could join it......
Shen Huai said to Zhao Dong again: "City Steel Mill, you recommend those two engineers, if they don't change their minds, you ask them to come over for an interview with XCMG." If there is no problem, start directly with the special assistant and touch the foundation of the steel mill first. The personnel who are willing to work in Meixi from other city steel mills are indeed capable and level, and there is no way to put them in important positions all at once, but I can promise to double the salary on the basis of the city steel mills......"
Zhao Dong said with a smile: "Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng were a little hesitant before, but after knowing what happened yesterday, they even touched the door of my house overnight and met with Xu Gong......"
"Xu Gong has met with them," Shen Huai was very familiar with Xu Wendao and Pan Chengdu recommended by Zhao Dong, but he couldn't pretend to be very familiar with them, so he pretended to respect Xu Xiting and asked, "Does Xu Gong think they can win the role of special assistant......
"They are all college students brought out by Xiong Wenbin when he was the factory director, they are capable and level, and they are also grassroots backbones in the city's steel mill. Although Xu Xiting didn't know why Shen Huai trusted Zhao Dong so much, he had to admit that Shen Huai was very precise in selecting people, including Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao and Pan Chengdu were the most potential talents at the grassroots level of the city's steel mills, but it was a pity that they could not be reused in the city's steel mills.
"XCMG approves, that's fine," Shen Huai turned his head and instructed Zhao Dong, "You will inform the two of them to come directly to the factory office to see me later......"
Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao, Pan Cheng and others, as college students in China for 80 years, have technology, understand management, and have rich grassroots experience, but they are not reused in the city steel mill, which can be said to be related to their uprightness, principle, and uncompromise.
In society, these people can be said to be not tactful enough and do not understand the world.
However, a modern large-scale enterprise, the only people who are really suitable for production management are those who have persistence and uncompromising character.
Only such a person can be meticulous in management and truly create valuable contributions to the enterprise.
Now the overall environment of Donghua City is not good, making it difficult for these talents to get ahead, and there are no employment channels such as foreign capital or joint ventures with a high level of management for them to flow in - this is good, Shen Huai thought of pulling them to Meixi, and the resistance can be smaller, otherwise with such a broken factory in Meixi, why invite first-class talents in?
It was also at this moment that Xu Xiting had a deeper understanding of Shen Huai's decisiveness in making decisions.
Of course, this is also directly related to Shen Huai's tough posture that forced the mayor to bow his head yesterday.
If he is not afraid of the collapse of the steel mill now, he will purge the entire management of the steel mill, and no one dares to say a "no", not to mention that he is now just inviting three really capable people from the city steel mill to join the quasi-management?
What kind of lion leads what kind of team.
Even if Xu Xiting is a conservative and cautious person, he also has the enthusiasm to do something at this moment.
*************
The electric furnace steel workshop where Shen Huai, Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong and Hu Zhigang went is the most important and core production line of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant.
Unfortunately, the line worked very poorly.
Due to the lack of technical strength and the serious lag and rigidity of management, almost seventy percent of the production capacity potential of this line has not been brought into play.
With two 45-ton electric arc furnaces as the core, plus pre-processing, refining furnaces, slab casters and other process equipment, plus the front, middle and rear three sections of charge, billet and steel storage sites, the whole production line is spread out for more than a mile.
Standing in front of the second gate of the production area, looking at the steel corridor connecting the production and the towering furnace, the courage of the modern steel industry is fully displayed in front of you.
It's a pity that this picture has its surface, and it is full of failures.
When Meixi Iron and Steel Plant introduced the electric arc furnace continuous casting production line, it was the high tide period of domestic township enterprises. Stimulated by all kinds of stimuli, counties and towns, including Donghua City, regardless of whether they can digest it or not, patted their heads and decided to launch advanced technologies that only matured in the early 80s.
Cities and counties have given strong support in loans, and have lent nearly 50 million yuan from many banks at one time. Before 90 years, Donghua City did not have such great support for township-level enterprises, and it was extremely rare in the province.
Shen Huai, as a technical backbone, was seconded to Meixi Iron and Steel Plant to participate in the three-month equipment installation and commissioning, and he was very clear about the situation of this line.
Even in the past three years, the technical level of this production line is still first-class in China.
It's a pity that no matter how sharp the weapon is, those who don't know how to use a knife are blind.
This production line requires 120 to 200 trained and qualified professional workers to be able to operate and reach a high productivity level of 300 tons of steel per capita per year.
Today, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant has nearly 300 front-line workers in this line, but there are only a few professional engineers who really understand technology, and the management of production safety is also quite lagging behind.
In the face of severe production safety pressure, with Xu Xiting's cautious temperament, he did not dare to open up the production capacity at all.
Shen Huai talked with Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong for a long time in the factory office, and when he arrived in the production area, it was also very close to the working time, and the front-line workers also arrived at their posts one after another.
After yesterday's events, front-line workers are in high mood, but high emotions may not necessarily lead to doing things right.
Shen Huai walked into the slab continuous casting section, and now the production line is not running, and there are twenty or thirty workers, and less than half of the workers can wear work clothes, labor protection shoes, and safety helmets according to the regulations. Some people even stood in front of the machine in cotton slippers, and cigarette butts were lying on the ground, and the boards and instruments were piled up in a mess, and the ground was covered with oil.
Xu Xiting could feel that Shen Huai was good at production management, because he locked his eyebrows, although he was silent, but every time his eyes swept away, there were serious defects in production management - although Xu Xiting was not responsible for the management of production, as the deputy chief engineer, he would also be promoted to Shen Huai as the general person in charge of the technology of the whole plant, and there was a pressure that made him difficult to breathe.
After several deputy factory directors also rushed to the factory office, they knew that Shen Huai had been in the factory for a while in the morning, and they didn't dare to be sloppy, and they also checked each other for loopholes, and rushed to the electric furnace steel workshop to meet Shen Huai.
Watching several deputy factory directors enter the section, Shen Huai stood in front of the rolling mill, watched them come over, and said to one of them: "As a manager, first of all, you must meticulously follow the production rules and regulations, you, go and hand over the resignation report to my office......
After yesterday's incident, who dares to be sloppy in front of Shen Huai?
Before they entered the factory, they also checked each other to ensure that there was no fault with Shen Huai before they came over, where did they think that when they first saw Shen Huai, they would accuse them of not complying with production rules and regulations and force them to resign?
The deputy factory director who was forced to resign by Shen Huai in public was immediately stupid, his face was flushed, and he didn't know where he had made a mistake.
After half of the salary, someone saw that he was pulling his sleeves and pointing to his shoes: before he entered the factory, he did not replace his leather shoes with labor protection shoes.
