Chapter 6: Lao Gao's Troubles

Gao Qigong has been a bit hot lately.

Lao Gao's fire is not like Li Huayong's heat stroke, it is the weather reason in Pengcheng. Recently, there have been several troubles, which have made Secretary Gao a little anxious.

From internal sources, there is news that the state is brewing a reform, that is, the so-called "separation of government and enterprises", and what kind of factory director (manager) responsibility system will be implemented in enterprises. Moreover, units like "Huaxia Construction General Administration" will bear the brunt and will be the first batch of enterprises to carry out reform pilots.

Gao Qigong, who was born as a political work cadre, was very dissatisfied with this kind of reform, although his attitude was more positive than anyone else in the usual small meetings of the General Assembly.

"What do you mean? There are some things in the future, and I won't listen to the party... ”

This was Lao Gao's first worry.

Of course, if this is the only thing, it is not enough to make Gao Qigong angry. In Lao Gao's view, whether it is the secretary in charge of the overall situation, or the factory director (manager) responsibility system, it is nothing more than to let the first leader change his name.

I have long received a promise from the old leader: as long as the project goes smoothly, then once this reform system is rolled out, I will be nothing more than a "senior secretary" to a "senior manager", or even a "senior secretary and senior manager". All in all, Lao Gao believes that no matter how he reforms, his real power and status will not be affected in any way.

But what really hurts is this premise, it is precisely because this project is not going smoothly at all that Gao Qigong is in a hurry.

Lao Gao looked out the window, looking at this slightly deserted and messy construction site, Lao Gao sighed in his heart.

I think about 2 years ago, when I first came to this project as the leader, I was so high-spirited and full of ambition. This is the tallest building in the country! How many builders are lucky enough to come across this kind of project, let alone be the leader of such a project. As long as this project is successfully completed, there is no doubt that it will add a strong touch to his career and his career will be bright.

Although when he was appointed as the leader of the project, there were many objections from the head office, and their reason was that he was a political cadre and did not have the ability to manage such a large-scale project.

To be honest, Gao Qigong was very dissatisfied with this statement. Isn't this just building a house? Isn't a tall building just building a house? It's not high-tech. On what basis do they say they don't have the ability to manage?

It's not the first time I've been working on a project, and I've been involved in the construction or management of a lot of projects for decades, so why do they think they can't manage the project well?

In the end, it was the old leadership who supported it and suppressed all kinds of opposition before he allowed himself to take office.

Thinking of the old leader, Gao Qigong's vest was a little chilly. More than a month ago, the old leader came to the construction site to inspect and dropped such an evaluation after a round of inspection;

Disrupt the battle!

This sentence may be nothing for others to hear, but Gao Qigong "chuckled" in his heart at that time.

Lao Gao knows his old leader very well, the old leader is a soldier, and the words "disrupting the war" come from his mouth, which means that he is really angry, and it is already a very serious criticism. The old leader often said: If in the war years, the war will kill people.

Now is the era of peace, and what will be the consequences of "disrupting the war" in the era of peace...

Gao Qigong didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Therefore, the current Gao Qigong is in a hurry, and the current Secretary Gao is haggard.

In addition to being physically and mentally exhausted, Lao Gao felt a little aggrieved in his heart. No matter what others think of him, Lao Gao himself feels that he is a qualified leader. Since coming to Pengcheng, I have devoted myself to my work, which has been almost two years, in addition to meetings, the number of times I go home is only a handful, and I have spent the Spring Festival on the construction site for two consecutive years. Not only that, but I have never been special in my life. Originally, according to his own level, he could have eaten better and lived better. But for the sake of this project, in order to mingle with the people below, he ate, drank, and slept all on the construction site. At the same time, I also know that I am a political cadre, and I am not so proficient in business, so in ordinary times, I have a very kind attitude towards the managers under him, and I also pay attention to listening to their opinions. . .

But I don't know why, the progress of this project can't be done. No matter how hard he tried, the situation on the construction site did not improve, and even received a comment from the old leader that he "disrupted the battle".

A deep sense of powerlessness surged into Gao Qigong's heart.

"Secretary Gao, are you looking for me?"

"Xiao Li is here... ”

Seeing Li Mingda who was recruited, Gao Qigong immediately changed his demeanor, and he put on the most affectionate and amiable demeanor to greet Li Mingda, who came to his office.

This is not Gao Qigong's hypocrisy, Lao Gao has always been very optimistic about the young foreman in front of him. He thinks that Li Mingda is clever and reliable, and more importantly, this person is very obedient. For his own instructions, other people under his hands will more or less disobey the yang and yin, but this Li Mingda has always carried out his orders to the letter.

To say that although Lao Gao's business level is not very good, as an old fritter in officialdom, he still has this vision. It is precisely because of this that Lao Gao has always cultivated Li Mingda as his descendant. Otherwise, Gao Qigong would not have given Li Mingda such a big favor and asked him to go back to his hometown to recruit so many workers.

You know, this is a lot of technical school indicators.

In this era, in a central enterprise like "Huaxia Construction Corporation", what does a technical school index mean? It means a very valuable opportunity, and it means that the trajectory of a young man's life has changed since then.

It is true that a technical school is a place to train workers, but a technical school for construction companies is different from other technical schools.

In this era, the saying "work instead of work" is popular. It means that someone is doing the work of a "cadre" as a worker, which is called "working for work".

Of course, "work-for-work" is also very popular in construction enterprises, but "work-for-work" in construction enterprises is different from other industries.

In other factories and mines or other industries, someone may have been working as a "cadre", but it is very difficult for him to get rid of his status as a worker. If you see an old comrade engaged in a certain management work for more than 10 years or even decades, then you always think that this old comrade should be a "cadre", but when you check his file, you find that he is still just a worker.

Such things are commonplace in this day and age.

But in the construction industry, it is different, although the construction industry also has "work instead of work", but the biggest advantage of the construction industry is that you are doing it, and you can easily be directly promoted from a worker to a "cadre".

Take Li Mingda as an example, when he first joined the company, he was just a worker, when he worked for a few years, and after training in a technical school, when he became a foreman, he was not "working instead of working", but as a manager.

This is not an unspoken rule, but is determined by the characteristics of the construction industry, especially construction companies like this. In the entire construction industry chain, the status of the construction unit is relatively low. Especially in this era, let alone college students, if there is a choice, secondary school students are reluctant to choose construction companies.

What should we do if there is a scarcity of management personnel? Of course, we can only train ourselves, and the most important training base is, of course, our own technical schools.

Therefore, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, you heard that a certain manager in a large central enterprise was born as a carpenter, and a certain general manager was born in a technical school. Not surprisingly, this is very normal in these days and ages.

"Xiao Li, come, come, sit... ”

Gao Qigong kindly beckoned Li Mingda to sit down, and amiably handed over a cigarette. However, the things he talked about did not make Li Mingda feel amiable at all.

“。。。 2 months, up to 3 months, I promise you to recall the folks back to the construction site... ”

Twenty minutes later, Li Mingda left Gao Qigong's office with a bitter face.

At this time, he didn't know how to explain to Uncle Gen and them.
