Chapter 411: You can't give up halfway
After Song Hongjun drove his aunt home, he hit the steering wheel and went directly to the south of the city and chased him to the Donghua Hotel.
Song Hongjun walked into the room and saw that Chen Bing, Chu Qiang, Shao Zheng, and Chen Tong were all there, while Shen Huai was sitting on the sofa in the corner, talking to someone on the phone.
Meigang and the city steel group has an inextricable link, Zhao Dong, Xu Xiting, Pan Cheng, Xu Wendao and other senior executives of Meigang, all of them are from the city steel group, the city steel group has any troubles, Meigang can basically get the news in the first time.
The molten steel ladle dumping accident concealed by the Municipal Iron and Steel Group two months ago, Shen Huai and the others have long been aware of the details.
It's just that in 95 years, from zhongyāng to the locality, the production management of heavy industry enterprises in China is relatively relaxed, and the status of the safety supervision bureau in the country is still relatively low. Concealment of accidents like this is relatively common in the localities, and even if they are reported, they will not be taken seriously, and only such major production accidents that kill or injure more than 10 people and have a bad impact will be severely investigated and held accountable.
Seeing Shen Huai put down the phone, Song Hongjun asked, "Will Tan Qiping plant it this time?"
Song Hongjun has no feelings for Donghua and the Municipal Iron and Steel Group, and it is unrealistic for him to grieve for the workers who were killed or injured in this accident.
People are always indifferent, and tens of thousands of people die in traffic accidents every year in the country.
Song Hongjun is more concerned about whether this accident will cause Tan Qiping to disrupt his position, and even feel gloating, which is a normal state of mind.
It's just that Shen Huai has worked in the steel casting workshop where the accident occurred for four years, and among the eleven people who died in this explosion accident, three of them were even recruited into the steel casting workshop by him.
There are some emotions in his chest, and Shen Huai has no way to tell others.
Seeing that Song Hongjun was concerned about what kind of blow this accident would cause to Tan Qiping, Shen Huai put down the microphone and briefly introduced the details of the accident to him and Chen Bing:
"In the second half of the year, the steel casting workshop of the city steel received an order for the casting of water turbines to first-class steel castings for the Shangjiang Hydropower Project. These steel castings, the single gross weight is more than 80 tons, and the technology of four-tank co-pouring needs to be adopted, which is very difficult, exceeding the existing technical level of the city steel. However, the profitability of the city steel group in recent years is very poor, and whether the city steel can have the money to pay wages to workers by the end of the year mainly depends on the orders of the steel casting workshop. With such a large order, Shigang was unwilling to give up from top to bottom, and took the order to organize production. The whole order task is completely less than one-third, the workers on duty during the day, complete the casting of the upper crown part of the accident part, the middle shift began to cast the lower ring, at 8:26, the explosion accident occurred. The cause of the accident has not yet been ascertained, but at the time of the explosion, more than 30 workers had gathered in the controlled area of the site. The supervisors, including two Party A, were taking pictures directly opposite the pouring cavity at the time, and at the time of the accident, they were engulfed in flames. Now that the death toll has exceeded eleven people, the province sent Luo Chenghui and Chen Baoqi from Xucheng to Donghua to deal with the follow-up matters. And two months ago, there was a fatal accident in the city of steel ladle dumping, and at this time, people were also stabbed and reported to the province, and they will be held responsible......"
"Over the years, Donghua officialdom can also be said to have changed, Gu Tongpu has always been a tumbler, but I don't know if he can stand tall again this time. Chen Bing sighed softly.
After Xiong Wenbin, Gu Tong took over the city steel mill, since after the restructuring of the city steel group, he still firmly grasped the power of the city steel group, and they were not allowed to get involved, from the early deputy department level officials, to the members of the municipal party committee, the standing committee of the CPPCC, vice chairman, and the provincial CPPCC members, it can really be said that they are tumblers in Donghua officialdom.
However, this vicious production accident and the concealment of the accident two months ago, the city has no way to shirk the responsibility for Gu Tong. However, this time, Gu Tong must be taken down to ask for the guilt, and give an explanation for this vicious production accident, how can the production and operation of the Municipal Steel Group be maintained?
Shen Huai was deeply immersed in the sofa and said: "Gu Tong has been operating in Shigang for many years and is deeply rooted. Almost all of the people who excluded him and were not reused jumped out of the city, and almost the entire management of the city, including the management sent to the joint venture steel mill, were all Gu Tong's descendants. The city wants to take down Gu Tong this time and rectify the production and operation order of the city steel group, and the city steel will be paralyzed for a period of time, and this paralysis, I don't know if the city steel can get up again......
Except for Song Hongjun, the other people in the house are quite familiar with the situation of the City Steel Group.
The problems of the City Iron and Steel Group are far more serious than those exposed on the surface, as if a big broken ship with serious defects and slow action cannot withstand the blow of the storm at all, and this accident is likely to be the catalyst for the complete collapse of the City Iron and Steel Group.
As the largest Donghua municipal enterprise, the city steel group has more than 7,000 in-service and retired employees, in addition to the main steel-making business, but also has more than a dozen tertiary companies, the upstream and downstream involved enterprises are counted, involving a wider range. Once the Municipal Iron and Steel Group collapses in this crackdown, the impact on Donghua City will be far more serious than this vicious production accident.
"Will the city ask Meigang to take over Shigang?" Chen Bing thought of a possibility and asked Shen Huai.
Shen Huai thought silently for a moment before he said: "Tan Qiping may not bow his head, but the Municipal Iron and Steel Group is too widely involved, and how to deal with the Municipal Iron and Steel issue, the Municipal Standing Committee will inevitably have differences." However, Shigang is a mess, and it's hard to take over......"
"Since the city steel is a mess, and it has been hollowed out in its bones, it is better to go directly bankrupt and liquidate. Song Hongjun said.
"No matter how broken and rotten the stall is, but how many beautiful coats the city has pasted on this mess over the years, and at the same time, it is also a star enterprise in the Donghua state-owned enterprise restructuring pilot -- how can the city take the initiative to expose these lies? Again, the collapse of the Municipal Iron and Steel Group involves tens of thousands of workers' families, and the city will never dare to act rashly," Shen Huai said, "According to you and me, cutting through the mess quickly is the best way, but it may not work in the city; let's watch." ”
Shen Huai is still unable to accurately judge what kind of far-reaching impact this accident will have on the entire situation in Donghua, and some things need time to ferment.
But at the moment, it will only make Tan Qiping's hands and feet more chaotic, he can just stand aside and watch.
"If something like this happens, I don't think they will force you to do a review and resign from Meigang, right?" Song Hongjun asked.
Tan Qiping is now disrupting the sudden accident of the city steel, even if Shen Huai does not bow his head and admit his mistake, he will not come to Shen Huai for trouble again - not to mention, they do not know how the sudden accident of the city steel will affect the situation in Donghua, and it is impossible to come over again to force Shen Huai, causing many criticisms.
"No, I'll go back to Donghua in two days, the review must be done, Mei Gang's position must also be resigned, I still want to go to Yushan for a while," Shen Huai smiled and said, "Since I bowed my head and admitted my mistakes, naturally there is no reason to give up halfway." ”
Song Hongjun pouted, Shen Huai didn't plan to reconcile with Tan Qiping.
Shen Huai asked Song Hongjun again: "You are here, what about my sister-in-law?"
"It's time to go back to bed, she has to get up early tomorrow to catch the plane," Song Hongjun said, "What else do you have to look for her?"
"I hope that my sister-in-law will serve as the chairman of Huaineng. Shen Huai said.
"Why?" Song Hongjun asked puzzled.
Song Wenhui was already the executive vice president of Southeast Electric Power Construction Group at this time, and her goal should be to take full charge of TEPCO's work, rather than concurrently taking on management positions in lower-level enterprises.
"In the afternoon, the old man talked to me alone, I don't really hope that we are in a hurry to stand on the table now, these meanings, I think the old man should also talk to my sister-in-law," Shen Huai said, "In addition, I learned some information about the reform of the Ministry of Electric Power, Wang Yuan's proposal is to abolish the Ministry of Electric Power and form the State Grid Corporation." If Wang Yuan's proposition cannot be changed, TEPCO will be seriously weakened when the Ministry of Electric Power is restructured. My sister-in-law also knows this possibility, but she hasn't made up her mind about how to go yet......"
"Are you saying that TEPCO will be transformed into a second-tier enterprise solely responsible for the power infrastructure business?" Song Hongjun asked.
"After the establishment of the State Grid Corporation, the subordinate second- and third-level enterprises and local power management departments will inevitably carry out large-scale adjustments according to the nature of the business and the region. TEPCO was established to serve the local power infrastructure of the six southeastern provinces and cities, and once restructured, this goal will be strengthened, and other businesses and assets are likely to be spun off and distributed to other ministries and commissions, or directly taken over by the local government. But at the same time, after the provincial power management departments reorganize the provincial power grid company, they may not be willing to give up the infrastructure business, which will eventually lead to the strengthening of the provincial power grid company, and TEPCO will be seriously weakened as a whole, and even cut down in the end, it is possible," Shen Huai said, "I think that instead of dragging it out to the end and forcing TEPCO's other businesses to be divested, it is not enough to take the initiative to divest the business and strengthen the Huaineng Group." On the other hand, this can also take the initiative to cater to the general direction of the restructuring of the Ministry of Electric Power and seize some initiatives......"
"I have to let my aunt find the old man to have a good chat with Dai Chengguo," Song Hongjun said, "The situation of the Ministry of Electric Power can still be maintained now, but Wang Yuan is the natural candidate for the next premier, and it will be difficult to delay it if the Ministry of Electric Power does not want to reform when the government changes boundaries in 98 at the latest." ”
At the beginning of the establishment of Huaineng Group, after accepting a small part of the assets divested by Dongdian, the registered assets were almost 400 million yuan - Huaineng Group seems to be a behemoth in Donghua City, where economic development is relatively lagging behind, but in the context of the entire Ministry of Electric Power, it is very insignificant.
In the ninety-five years, the total number of state-owned enterprises in the country from zhongyāng to local governments exceeded 110,000, and the total assets reached more than 30 trillion yuan.
The Ministry of Electric Power, including local power grids and power generation assets, has a total asset scale of hundreds of billions of yuan, more than one million cadres and workers, and a total asset of only four or five billion yuan.
However, looking at the background of the restructuring of the entire Ministry of Electric Power, the Huaineng Group still has some achievements, and the Southeast Electric Power Construction Group still has billions of assets unrelated to the power infrastructure business that can be divested.
If you can get this part of the assets and business, Huaineng Group can grow rapidly.
Shen Huai secretly felt that in the next twenty or thirty years, the country will always focus on local construction and economic development, and the struggle between the upper echelons will be slow and urgent.
