Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng didn't speak, quietly waiting for the old secretary to say something. [Ran^Text^Library] The old secretary slowly continued: "The foundation of this factory is really good, the military industry foundation, the quality and technology of the staff are not said, and it was driven from the northeast with an order, just like a force." When they first came, there was nothing, only a barren beach and hills, and the brothers built shacks and lived in nests, and they relied on a force to build the factory and install the equipment by themselves. After the resumption of production, the family building began to be built, piece by piece, piece by piece, and it took more than 20 years to build the enterprise decently. Peers come to visit, who does not envy our Shuguang factory, that is the factory style, equipment style, housing style, employee benefits and conditions are not to say, in the whole industry is also one of the best enterprises. The old secretary spoke slowly, his eyes shining, as if he had returned to that proud time, "Transformation, development of civilian products, enterprise transformation is very fast, and there have been hard products and markets, but it can't stand the change of policy, why do good enterprises want joint ventures, I just can't figure it out, as a result, I moved away from the position of factory director, put in the position of secretary, let people who can figure it out to do it, and a large piece of cake was cut to the Japanese." I'm really not convinced, Qinghe can't go to the province, the province can't go to Beijing, I just want to ask for an explanation, why do well-run enterprises have to be joint ventures to survive, is the national military industry not needed, and the civilian use does not need heavy machinery power and steam turbines? No one dared to mess with me, I was a national model worker, and I dared to speak everywhere, but when I reached retirement age, I was allowed to leave. Later, it was a cooperation, and the products and brands that the factory had worked so hard to develop were handed over to others, and then it was tossed again until there was nothing to toss. ”

Looking at the old secretary's indignant expression and regret on his face, Qi Tianxiang could only listen silently, "These accounts always have to be calculated, and whoever is responsible will bear it, I don't believe that there will be no day when such a decision-making mistake or filling my pockets will not be liquidated." ”

The old secretary looked at Qi Tianxiang fixedly, with doubts hidden in his happy eyes, "What kind of work are you doing in the province?" ”

Li Zheng ignored Qi Tianxiang's reminding him, and said loudly: "He is the new secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he came to the plain to investigate, and when he heard about the situation of the Shuguang Factory, he insisted on coming to take a look and see what he could do for the company." ”

"Okay, okay, we have to find some way out for the company, we have to find a way." The old secretary grabbed Qi Tianxiang's hand, said excitedly, and then his tone became solemn, "But this matter is not easy to investigate, it has taken too long, and it comes from the original high-level of provinces, cities and enterprises, and now many people are still in place, it is difficult and difficult to do", as he spoke, stood up, walked to the phone placed in the room, and made a call, the voice was very loud and resolute, as if he was giving an order. After making the call, he walked over to Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng and said, "I called my apprentice, and he will come over immediately." As he spoke, he looked at the confused expressions of the two, and added with a smile: "He is now the deputy general manager of the company, and he is almost the commander of the light pole, let him come and talk to you, he should be clear about some situations." ”

"It won't disturb his normal work!" Qi Tianxiang was polite and unapologetic, he didn't think about the old man's questions and confusion, and he thought about it repeatedly before he came. It's been so many years, can things still be clarified? What's more, the resolutions and operations from the provincial and municipal development and reform commissions and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, many of them have high-sounding reasons, and they will involve a lot of retired or off-the-job personnel, and even some of them have reached higher positions. Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to solve all problems in one investigation, but no matter if you don't ask, there will never be a time to solve it, as long as you are determined to do a meticulous investigation and are not afraid of hitting the hard, you will definitely be able to investigate him clearly and clearly. Then he softened his tone and said to the old secretary with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to come to see you, listen to you talk about the past, have a long insight, and also receive a collectivist education." ”

"You are too polite, this is a bit of a high praise of my old king's head, I am a skilled worker, the culture is not high, the level is not high, the organization and the party have given me such a high honor, not that I am more capable than others, but I always think that as long as it is required by the party, I must do it unconditionally, ask others to do it, I must first do it, do it well, be an honest person, be a good person, it's as simple as that." The old secretary said excitedly, "It's not a boast, the foundation of this enterprise is really good, the foundation of the old military industry comes from the political and ideological tradition of the military industry, political leadership, and ideological education has never given up." Over the years, no matter how it has changed, there is no corruption among the cadres, there is no privilege, even when it is difficult, the leader of the enterprise can maintain his innocence, but the neck is not the same hard. ”

As she spoke, Aunt Wang hurriedly walked in with Secretary Wang's apprentice, and as soon as she entered the door, she called out respectfully: "Master, you called me in a hurry, is there anything wrong?" As he spoke, he carefully studied the old secretary's expression and asked with concern, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Wipe the sweat first, and then breathe." The old secretary counted the apprentices with love and hate, "It's running again, it's rough all day long, you are the helmsman of the enterprise, you can't be stable, can the workers not panic?" As he spoke, he turned his face to Qi Tianxiang and said, "This is my apprentice, Lu Jinshan, the current head of the Shuguang Factory." ”

"I'm at the construction site, as soon as you call and say that there is something, I put down what I am doing and hurriedly ran over", Lu Jinshan took the towel handed over by Aunt Wang, and scratched it on his face a few times, "Master, there is nothing to eat at home, I starved to death, and these boys didn't leave me food at noon, thinking that I was not at the construction site, so I only cared about eating for myself." As he spoke, he looked at the old secretary and explained with a smile, and after laughing, he seemed to find Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng, and asked in surprise: "Who are these two?" ”

"You haven't caught a meal, you're in your fifties, how good is it to be hungry and full like this. The people at the construction site too, they don't know how to prepare some food for you, so desperate, sooner or later, they will fight their lives into it. Aunt Wang counted lovingly, "There are frozen dumplings in the refrigerator, I'll go and order dumplings for you." ”

"Don't be so troublesome, I'll pad the mat if you have steamed buns and pickles, don't be so busy." Lu Jinshan said and added: "This is a safe house built with the money collected from smashing pots and selling iron in the factory, and there are hundreds of old and young masters squeezing out of their teeth, can I not stare at it every day?" Staring at me, my heart is steady. ”

After Lu Jinshan finished speaking, the old secretary slowly pointed to Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng and said, "One of these two is a cadre in the province, and the other is the deputy secretary of our Pingyuan County. ”

"Oops, rudeness, rudeness." Lu Jinshan hurriedly shook hands with Qi Tianxiang and Li Zhengyi with a smile on his face, took out the cigarettes in his pocket to give them cigarettes, and lit them attentively, explaining in a sincere tone, "I was really unprepared, as soon as the master called, thinking about what was going on at home, he hurriedly ran over, and he didn't have time to change his clothes." ”

"You are too polite, in fact, we just came to see the old secretary, Secretary Li interviewed the old secretary when he was in the newspaper before, and today I came here, I want to come and see, reminisce about the old, there is no other meaning." Qi Tianxiang said with a polite smile. From the moment Lu Jinshan entered the door, he began to look at him, the burly and heroic spirit of the typical Qilu man, which was reflected as soon as he entered the door, with a high voice, powerful force, and a kind of masculine bearing, especially the dust on a work uniform, which seemed real and heroic. Qi Tianxiang poured out a joy from his heart, seeing that the cigarettes he handed over were only ordinary cigarettes for five or six yuan a pack, he couldn't help but look at Li Zheng meaningfully, showed a look of appreciation, and said with concern: "It's not close to here from the construction site, have you been able to bear it all the way?" ”

"How can you be so squeamish, it's all the body that you sweat in the workshop, there are not so many problems, what is this road, no matter how far it is." Lu Jinshan said disdainfully, gulping water, as if he was a cow that hadn't drunk water for a long time, "The two of you came to Shuguang Factory to investigate, and they didn't notify you, so we should be ready." ”

"It's not a formal survey." Li Zheng cleared his throat and said seriously: "This is our Secretary Qi Tianxiang of the Hehai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, who came to the plains to investigate, and there is nothing to do today, just come and take a look." ”

"Secretary Qi of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Disrespectful and disrespectful. Lu Jinshan stood up again and shook hands with Qi Tianxiang again, and asked a little nervously, "Do you need our Shuguang Factory to cooperate with anything?" We fully cooperate with the investigation of who and what happens. ”

"You don't have to be nervous, there's really nothing going on, just just walk around and have a look." Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Jinshan's nervous expression, and said with a relieved smile: "I am also a child of a large enterprise, and I have a natural good impression of our large enterprises. Qi Tianxiang's sincere expression dispelled Lu Jinshan's doubts and nervousness, and also attracted the interest of the old secretary, "Secretary Qi is also a child of a large state-owned enterprise?" In which business? ”

"Machinery factories in other provinces, producing hydraulic machinery, are much smaller than our Shuguang factory." Qi Tianxiang replied lightly, full of regret: "It's a pity that it's long gone, what a good company!" At that time, when we were young, we carried a kettle and a thermos bottle in the summer to the factory to receive the iced sour plum soup, and the factory prepared for the workers to prevent heatstroke and cool down, but we all let us bad boys take it away, and we sent white sugar and tea in the summer, fruits in the autumn, and fish, white flour and pork in the New Year. ”

Looking at the happy and sweet look on Qi Tianxiang's face, the old secretary also said with deep emotion: "Yes! At that time, I felt that the home was the enterprise, the enterprise was the home, and there was no difference between the small family at all, as long as the small family needed, it seemed that everyone thought of it and was ready. The old secretary looked at Li Zheng and said emphatically: "You may not know, Secretary Xiao Qi may have the impression that the salary was not high at that time, but any enterprise will bear it for you, from the house, to the bed, table, cabinet in the room, even if it is a stool, towel, tea pot, are all distributed by the unit, to put it mildly, except for the wife who does not send it, the others are distributed by the unit, I feel that I can't do anything without the collective and the unit, I feel that the unit has thought of everything for you, and if you do it, you will work hard. You don't have to worry about anything else, relying on the collective and relying on the unit seems to have become a habit. ”

"Why doesn't my wife send it, my wife also sends it." Aunt Wang walked in with steaming dumplings, put them on the table next to her, and took the old secretary's words and said: "When the young man reaches the age of marriage and love, if there is no object, the women's federation and the trade union of the unit will introduce Zhang Luo and match the young people together, isn't this the same as a daughter-in-law?" As he spoke, he beckoned Lu Jinshan to eat, but asked in surprise: "Jinshan, what's wrong with you?" ”

No one paid attention, Lu Jinshan sat on the stool by the door, covered his face with his hands, and secretly sobbed, Aunt Wang's question attracted everyone's attention, Lu Jinshan's sobbing turned into a low howl, but it was a suppressed voice, his shaking shoulders, and the tears oozing from his fingers, which seemed to reveal great grief and sadness, "I have no face!" A good factory is yellow in my hands, I have no ability, I can't live with the old and young masters in the factory! ”

Qi Tianxiang was immediately shocked by Lu Jinshan's cry. In the past few days, he has witnessed the tears of two men, not that the current man is fragile, but that the current man has too many grievances and difficulties. A man, especially a mature man, should not shed tears, let alone cry casually to others, but a man's tears must have huge pain and sadness unbearable, let a man cry bitterly in addition to the departure of his parents, there is also the sorrow of the country and the death of the family, and at this moment, what defeats the resoluteness of the man in Lu Jinshan may be the beauty of the past of Shuguang Factory, and today's desolation, Qi Tianxiang's heart is also as painful as a knife, but he doesn't know how to persuade and comfort the man in front of him, He can sweat in the workshop, can sleep on the construction site with the workers in the scorching heat and cold, no matter how hard and tired he is, he can't break the psychology of the man, but he can watch the enterprise decline day by day, just like seeing the life of his relatives in the crook of his arm slowly passing, he can't keep it, he can only bear it silently, and often when he can't bear it, in addition to the pain in his heart and the tears in his eyes, I really don't know what else will be?

"Cry, cry, how did you learn this." The old secretary stood up angrily, his excited hands trembled and pointed at Lu Jinshan and said hatefully: "You go out and cry, let the whole factory take a look, don't cry in my house and wipe your tears." ”

"You old thing, do you still look like a master and an elder?" Aunt Wang quit, glared at the old secretary and waved her hand and said: "You just let the child howl twice, look at the past few years, it has been difficult for the child, and it is to run the workshop, and to run the construction site, and to run everywhere to find a job, find money for the workers to live, what is the difficulty, you can't see it as a master, don't feel distressed, don't worry?" ”

"Then you can't cry and wipe away your tears! Crying can solve the problem, crying can save the factory. The old secretary's voice was still very high, but his tone was obviously softened, "Okay, let's eat quickly, don't spoil your body." ”

Lu Jinshan wiped his face with both hands, waved his hand to signal that he would not eat, and said apologetically to Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng: "Gaffe, I'm really sorry, my master is right, it's a shame for the old man to cry and wipe his tears, don't laugh, get used to it with the master and his wife, just like his own home, just like his parents." As he spoke, he looked at the old secretary and said sincerely: "For so many years, when have you ever seen your apprentice cry and wipe away tears, isn't this also sad!" I am also a child of Shuguang Factory, I also have feelings for this factory, Shuguang Factory raised me, went to school, went to work, and trained me to be a cadre, to be a factory director, I don't want to make the factory as prosperous as you were back then, but at least what was handed over from me is a complete factory, is a group of brothers who can eat well and have something to do, but look at this stall now. I can vent at Master's place, howl a few times, can I cry when I go home in front of my father and mother, and don't rush the old couple to death, I am a wall, I have to stand; Can you cry in front of your wife and children? They themselves are afraid of me, I am the mountain, and I must give them safety; Can you cry in front of the old guys in the team? I'm the pillar, and I've got to support the house; I can't cry in front of the whole staff, I am the head of the company, I have to give them confidence and hope, so I can only come to you to howl, who let you be my master. As he spoke, Lu Jinshan's mood improved a little, and even looked at the old secretary with a little smile.

"It's good to vent, to reduce stress appropriately, and it's good for yourself and your work." Li Zheng said as he saw the needle, and handed a cigarette to Lu Jinshan, "Long-term pressure will cause problems." ”

"I'm fine, I'm just too preoccupied, I always feel that the organization is putting this burden on me, and I'm sorry for the country, the company, and the old and young masters of the whole factory who trust me." Lu Jinshan said solemnly, looked at Qi Tianxiang and asked with a smile: "After seeing the current situation of the Shuguang Factory, do you have any instructions?" ”

"I don't dare to say the instructions, but I just listened to the introduction of the old secretary and looked at the situation of the factory, which is not very optimistic, mainly to see what you think, whether you have the confidence to do a good job in recovery and production." Qi Tianxiang thought about it, with a serious look on his face, but his words were gentle and gentle, "Sometimes confidence is more effective than thought. ”

"Yes, it's still Secretary Xiao Qi who said, do we have confidence and the courage to change." The old secretary emphasized, staring at Lu Jinshan, "That is, to see if you kid has confidence and ideas, you have confidence, twist the big guy into a rope, and there will be hope for Shuguang Factory." ”

"Old secretary, you are an elder, don't be so polite, just call me Xiao Qi, or simply call me Tianxiang." Qi Tianxiang hurriedly corrected the old secretary's words, and said politely to everyone: "Today is a coincidence, we are sitting in a room, walking outside, maybe we don't know each other, it doesn't matter the secretary, the general manager or anything, only the elders and juniors, the master and the apprentice." ”

"Okay, good, call Xiao Qi, call Xiao Qi." The old secretary smiled with satisfaction and said to Li Zheng: "There are not many such humble young cadres now, they are all domineering, they are all instructive, they are all instructive, and they are instructed whether they understand or not. ”

"You have a unique vision, which is admirable." Li Zheng praised and echoed the old secretary, "As you always said, those who are domineering now are officials, and Comrade Xiaoqi is a cadre, so there is no distance from us." ”

"You can leave it alone, and I'll clean it up." Aunt Wang shouted to stop Lu Jinshan from washing the dishes, but Lu Jinshan still quickly sent the dishes to the kitchen and washed them, then came out with a smile on his face, looking at Aunt Wang and smiling, "You give me dumplings, and then help me clean up and wash the dishes, haven't I really become a waste!" ”

Maybe he was really hungry, when everyone was talking, Lu Jinshan devoured a large plate of dumplings, and his spirit was obviously much better, he moved the stool from the dining table, took out a cigarette and handed it to Qi Tianxiang and Li Zheng, lit one himself, took a deep breath and said: "Speaking of confidence, I dare not say how confident I am, after all, now and the past era is different, the quality and mentality of workers have changed a lot, and there are not a few people who look down on the profession of workers, but I have a technical school, There are middle-aged technical backbones who are still on the job, as long as the products and R&D are on the right track, the Shuguang factory will still be revitalized in a few years. ”

"That's right, as long as you have confidence, you have ideas, there will always be a solution to the problem, such a large state-owned enterprise, so many employees and their families, such a huge stall, without relying on your own efforts, relying only on the help of the outside world and the government, you can only get a life on welfare, and it is not good to starve to death." Qi Tianxiang looked at Lu Jinshan with appreciation, and then looked at the old secretary and said: "The adjustment of the national industrial policy has its focus and focus for a period, but I don't believe that a country can not do with heavy industry, do not want a large-scale equipment manufacturing industry with core technology and competitiveness, and can let key equipment and components be controlled by foreign countries. As he spoke, Qi Tianxiang fell into deep thought, "Reform and opening up has changed our lives, changed the composition and form of society, and the incentive mechanism and competition have also accelerated the development and progress of the economy. However, we should also be soberly aware that at the beginning of reform and opening up, the extensive economic model of the market was only an expedient measure, and the introduction, digestion, and absorption of advanced technology and equipment from abroad was only a strategy for industrial upgrading and leapfrog development. If the private economy and the private economic model are small sails and small boats, large state-owned enterprises, heavy manufacturing and large-scale equipment manufacturing will always be a symbol of national strength and prosperity. Today, it is time for reform and development to regain its vigor
