Chapter Ninety-Nine: Don't Get Involved in This Troubled Water
On this day, Zhao Zejun had just drunk some wine from Shen Lian and went out, when he received a call from Ma Kaizhi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After connecting, he said with a smile: "Team Leader Ma, congratulations on your promotion." ā
Ma Kaizhi's group took Nanping Industrial Park as the starting point, and with the support of Zhao Zejun, it soon achieved remarkable results, and was promoted and rewarded by the Municipal Development and Reform Commission as a typical pacesetter.
Due to his outstanding performance in the work, Ma Kaizhi was promoted to the 'deputy leader of the working group'.
The leader of the group is an old comrade of the National Development and Reform Commission, and he is still nominally the leader of the group, but the main purpose of this time is to train new people, and the old comrades mainly play the role of passing on and helping them.
"Congratulations, I haven't thanked you yet. Ma Kaizhi smiled and said: "Recently, we have been free, we have recently conducted research in Dongyuan County, and we have encountered some trouble, I want to hear your opinion." ā
"Dongyuan County, why did you run there...... Well, okay, let's talk about it when we meet. Zhao Zejun said.
When he went to the teahouse and met him, he heard Ma Kaizhi talk about the situation, Zhao Zejun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he subconsciously asked: "Is this factory that produces strip steel also called 'Baiping Steel Factory' in the local area?"
"Yes, the local people call it that, in the era of planned economy, it was a subsidiary of the state-owned coal mine Baiping Mine, and then the Baiping Mine did not collapse, in order to settle the original employees, the county attracted investment and carried out equity restructuring. At present, the employees in the factory hold about 45% of the shares, and several co-owners hold 55% of the shares. ā
Ma Kaizhi smiled: "I'll just say that you understand the situation, sure enough." ā
Zhao Zejun nodded slightly, Baiping Steel Mill, strip steel, all of a sudden evoked a lot of memories for him.
After confirming that this factory was Baiping Factory, Zhao Zejun temporarily put aside those memories in his mind and asked, "You came to me for the purpose?"
"The National Development and Reform Commission went to the field this time to find out the situation, Dongyuan smelter must indeed be closed, and there is no need to re-transform and upgrade, and the price to pay for upgrading this plant is enough to build a new qualified plant of the same scale. But the situation in the factory is really difficult, hundreds of workers are hundreds of families, many of them are husbands and wives in the factory, if it is closed like this, the source of livelihood will be cut off immediately, so the leadership is very difficult, pressed down, I hope we can come up with a way to do both......"
"It's pressed on your head?" Zhao Zejun asked.
Ma Kaizhi smiled embarrassedly and said: "That's not true, the city hopes that the National Development and Reform Commission can come up with a solution, and the National Development and Reform Commission hopes that our investigation team can give suggestions, who makes us the most aware of the situation." I didn't squeak for the time being, I contacted you first, you are an insider, you know more about this industry than us, and there are many ways in the province, what can you teach me?"
Zhao Zejun thought for a while and said: "If you want to talk about strip steel, it's not useless, Baiping Factory has existed for so many years, and more than half of the production is strip steel, but there are some places that can be used." For example, the fence of the community, the fence of the park, the non-load-bearing windows...... I have also heard that some real estate companies cut corners and use them in non-load-bearing walls, because they are very cheap. However, it is generally purchased in small quantities, and now the province is so tight, who dares to buy tens of thousands of tons at one time?"
"Lao Zhao, you are to the point, the salesmen in their factory have been running sales, but they have signed a lot of orders piecemeal, but together, they do not exceed 1,000 tons. The factory is now in a hurry to get on fire, and even a ton can be sold alone, as long as the other party sends a car to pull it away. ā
Ma Kaizhi hesitated slightly, leaned in, and said, "Can you think of a way?"
"Old Ma, I know what you mean. ā
Zhao Zejun nodded: "If I can help, I will definitely help you." But this matter is too big, and now the whole province is eliminating backward production capacity, and at the cusp of the storm, there is a slight mistake, which is a big deal. I advise you, don't be in the limelight. ā
Ma Kaizhi snorted, "I understand, I just think it's a pity." ā
Baipingchang is a challenge, but also a rare good opportunity, if you can solve the problem of Baipingchang, it will be of great benefit to his future career.
"Lao Ma, listen to me, you are a member of the research team, and your task is to grasp backward production capacity, not to help anyone sell steel. In the end, if this factory has an accident because of the elimination of production capacity, you are not responsible. On the contrary, because of selling steel, as long as there is a little sesame mung bean big thing, you will be burned. Tens of thousands of tons of steel, piled together is a small mountain, who can guarantee that there will be no problems. When it comes to money, you won't be able to wash it off when you jump into the Yellow River. ā
Seeing that Ma Kaizhi's expression was still a little unwilling, Zhao Zejun leaned forward to him and said: "Old Ma, put it on the usual, you spoke, even if I purely support your work, it doesn't matter if I personally pay some money to buy this batch of steel, it's really not good, I will sell it as scrap in the end......"
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that! These two things are different!" Ma Kaizhi quickly explained.
"I know you didn't mean that. Zhao Zejun smiled, then lowered his voice and said: "You are a fan of the authorities this time, Baiping Factory in Dongyuan County, it seems to be a benefit, but it is actually a hot potato, you must not touch it." ā
"How?"
"You should know better than I do about the situation in the city. ā
Zhao Zejun said: "Baiping Factory is the only pillar enterprise in Dongyuan County, and Mayor Bai has always wanted to develop Dongyuan County, but he has never been able to unify his thinking in the municipal party committee. Recently, the secretary suddenly became concerned about the construction of Beicheng, and often expressed his position at various meetings, coupled with the wind generated by the recent elimination. I watched from the sidelines, Baiping Factory, and this batch of strip steel, is a volcanic crater, people can't hide in a hurry, why do you have to come out? In case you are targeted, use it to make a fuss, aren't you a target for nothing? ā
Ma Kaizhi pondered Zhao Zejun's words seriously, and kept nodding slightly, and his attitude finally changed.
"Yes, I'm a little too careful, it's not that you almost got into trouble by clicking on me. Ma Kaizhi sighed, "I'm really a fan of the authorities, I'm just thinking about Mayor Bai's side." ā
"After all, I'm in a company, and I have a different angle, so I might have to see it more clearly. The matter of selling strip steel is itself a side game, and if they can do it, you as a young cadre of the National Development and Reform Commission should not touch it no matter what, otherwise even if there is no accident this time, it will be troublesome to bring it up in the future. ā
Zhao Zejun's words, one-third of them are for Ma Kaizhi's consideration, one-third for his own consideration, and he is not willing to touch such dangerous goods as strip steel on the cusp;
The other third, but some other ideas.
At that time, when he heard the words Baiping Factory and Ditiao Steel, Zhao Zejun suddenly thought of a major accident that happened in Jianwu City in his previous life.
That is, shortly after the province demanded the elimination of backward production capacity.
One day in mid-'08, he was working on a report in the office of that small gas station, when he suddenly felt the chandelier in his room flicker.
I didn't realize what was going on at the time, and I thought I was dizzy after drinking too much at noon.
But that night, I learned from the news that a very serious geological disaster had occurred in Shudi, and even the central and southern parts of the country could feel the tremors.
However, after all, it was too far away, and Jianwu City only felt the shock, and there was no serious accident.
But something happened.
At that time, in order to cooperate with the Olympic Games, the Provincial Gymnasium Sports Center Building, which was being upgraded, had a large area of wall cracks, the building structure was damaged, and a side building collapsed in half.
Fortunately, it was not open at that time, otherwise I was afraid that something would have happened, and more than a dozen construction workers who stayed in the building were also injured in various ways, but fortunately no one died.
People are so close to Shudu, and there are not many buildings into the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and when the building in Jianwu City, which is thousands of miles away, collapses, fools know that this is definitely not just a natural disaster.
The nature of this matter was too serious, and the impact was very bad, so from the province to the city, great efforts were made to thoroughly investigate it, and a number of people were removed and dealt with.
In the end, it was found out that there were serious corners cutting in this building, and there were problems with steel and cement.
One of the main reasons is the use of strip steel.
And the source of strip steel is precisely the Baiping factory.
Although it is two time and space, the cause is the same, Baiping plant is polluted, the production capacity is backward, and it is in the ranks of immediate elimination.
To close the factory, you have to relocate the employees. The employees are all locals, and they still have shares in their hands, and even the factory director dares to fight if they don't agree to close the factory, and the factory can't be demolished.
Dongyuan County is too poor to have money, so Baiping Factory can only find a way to sell the last batch of strip steel in the warehouse.
Just about to repair the provincial gymnasium building, the builder tried to buy steel cheaply, and Baiping Factory hit it off with the other party and sold off part of the inventory.
In the previous life, after this incident, the Baiping Factory was directly seized, but to a certain extent, it contributed to the elimination index.
The words Baiping Factory and Ditiao Steel were also popular in Jianwu City for a while, and then pushed to the re-covered Provincial Sports Center Building, which was jokingly called 'Pizza Building' until many years later.
In fact, according to common sense, even if a part of the strip steel is used, the building will not collapse.
On the one hand, it is the earth shaking that tears from the bottom, on the other hand, the builders are probably too greedy, and the strip steel is used, 'slightly' more, and almost all non-load-bearing walls are used strip steel.
According to the information released by the official later, even in the strip steel, the products and technologies of the Baiping plant are well-deserved 'backward products', the strip steel in the strip steel, and the garbage in the garbage.
According to the experience of Zhao Zejun since his rebirth in the past few years, the major events in history have not changed, so this batch of strip steel must not be touched.
