Regarding his political mistakes, Song Hongxuan did not shy away from saying it, he refilled Qin Hai and Qiao Changsheng's cups with a little water, and then talked about his experience one by one.

Song Hongxuan's hometown is a certain county in Anhe Province, his parents are teachers in the school, he is also a bit of a family background, he likes to read since he was a child, and his academic performance in school is also among the best. In those years, the college entrance examination system was abolished and the way to recommend going to university was replaced. Song Hongxuan was also recommended to Anhe Institute of Technology to learn metallurgical technology because he was quite famous in the county. Speaking of which, Li Linguang is also one of his teachers.

After graduating, Song Hongxuan was assigned to work in the Nord Stream Iron and Steel Plant, and because of his solid theoretical foundation in metallurgy and hard work, he was soon promoted to the deputy director of the No. 2 open-hearth workshop, and was once a rising star in the Nord Stream industrial system.

Song Hongxuan is quick thinking and good at summing up experience from practice. During his tenure as the deputy director of the workshop, he noticed that the production discipline in the workshop was lax and the workers lacked enthusiasm for production, so he proposed the introduction of scientific assessment methods, the implementation of a flexible wage system, survival of the fittest and other management ideas. These ideas were ordinary from the perspective of later generations, but they were shocking and criticized by the factory leaders at that time.

It was also because of the lack of things that Song Hongxuan did not realize that the attitude of the factory leaders was widely representative, and when he saw that the newspaper had been mentioning the slogan of emancipating the mind, he thought that it was time to speak freely. He wrote his ideas into a 10,000-word book, pointing the finger at the malaise in the management of state-owned enterprises, and even put forward advanced concepts such as marketization of labor and reduction of planning and intervention. He sent this 10,000-word letter to the Anhe Provincial Party Committee, and as a result, he caused himself a lot of trouble.

As the saying goes, one step ahead is a genius, and three steps ahead is a demon. These ideas put forward by Song Hongxuan were not widely accepted in China until 10 years later, and his vision was farther than others, which doomed him to be intolerable by the traditional forces.

An official letter from the provincial party committee was sent to the Beixi Municipal Party Committee, and the municipal party committee transferred the problem to the Beixi Iron and Steel Plant, so Song Hongxuan's position as deputy director of the workshop was quickly erased. He was also transferred to the reference room because of "major political mistakes" and became a ridiculous "Song Guan". Even so, he still has to thank the old leaders of the Nord Stream Iron and Steel Plant, because in that environment, it is not too much to give a heavier punishment for a serious mistake like his, and in this regard, the old leaders still did their best to protect him.

"I'm a blessing in disguise." Song Hongxuan said self-deprecatingly, "Go to the data room." The work was light, and with so many books, I was equivalent to a graduate student. Alas, after reading these books, I realized that I was indeed young and frivolous back then, and there were many management methods and ideas that were wrong, if I was given another chance. I would never make that mistake again. ”

"You're saying you won't make political mistakes again?" Qin Hai grabbed Song Hongxuan's words and asked.

"It's not ......," Song Hongxuan said, he thought for a while. He nodded again: "Similar political mistakes should not be made again." The emancipation of the mind cannot be achieved overnight, and it takes time to dismantle all kinds of old concepts. After several years of reflection and observation, I finally realized that the steps of our country's reform are correct, but I, a hairy boy, are too impatient and reckless. ”

"Then you just said you wouldn't make a mistake again. What does that mean? Qin Hai asked.

Song Hongxuan said: "I mean some problems in workshop management, such as the fixed problem we just mentioned, after learning the theory of Mr. Aoki Kameo, I have some new understanding of this problem, if I have the opportunity to do workshop management." I can definitely do better. ”

"Ha Luha, so I'm coming to the right place." Qin Hai said with a smile.

The dialogue between smart people does not need to be too cumbersome, and Song Hongxuan's remarks just now have shown his ability, character, vision, etc. He used to be a very good deputy director of the workshop, proficient in metallurgical technology, and also had management experience. After several years of depression, he has learned more things, and his ability has been greatly improved, and he should be able to be competent for the overall management of the workshop.

What is particularly rare is that he suffered a grievance, but did not complain, but deeply reflected on his own problems, and saw the trend of social development, and his heart was full of optimism. In the words of later generations, his emotional intelligence has been greatly tempered, and he is a very mature manager.

"Old Song, I am now officially inviting you to be the workshop director of the open-hearth workshop of the Nord Stream Special Steel Plant, which we jointly established with the Nord Stream Iron and Steel Plant, what do you think?" Qin Hai said solemnly.

Song Hongxuan's face was calm, he thought for a while, and asked, "What is my duty and how much authority do I have?" ”

"Your role is to maintain production on the shop floor and wait for opportunities to scale up production and achieve the target of 200,000 tons of steel per year. As for permissions...... How big do you want to be? Qin Hai pushed the problem to Song Hongxuan.

Song Hongxuan said: "I need to have the right to use labor and the right to decide on salary, and I have the final say on all matters in the workshop." All the three relatives and six relatives, even the brother-in-law of the factory director, must obey my management, otherwise I can sweep him out of the house at any time. ”

"You're planning to set up fascist rule in the workshop." Qin Hai said with a smile.

Song Hongxuan said: "Engels said in "On Authority" that a sentence should be written on the gate of the factory: Those who enter the door should give up all autonomy! If there is no authority in shop floor management, it will inevitably lead to chaos. For the steelmaking industry, authority is even more important, because any slight negligence can lead to extremely serious consequences. ”

"This is what Professor Li has told us repeatedly." Qiao Changsheng finally seized the opportunity to speak and interjected beside him. What Qin Hai and Song Hongxuan said just now, Qiao Changsheng could only understand half of it, let alone participate in the comments. But for the strictness of workshop management, he has personal experience. After the resumption of work, Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant has been implementing very strict workshop management regulations, and Qiao Changsheng agrees with this.

"Let's set a trial period." Qin Hai said, "Old Song, let's talk about the ugly things in front, although you are famous, but whether you are competent for the work of workshop management, I haven't seen it yet, so I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to authorize you now." We set a week's time, and if you show the quality of a qualified workshop director, then I promise you full responsibility, what do you think? ”

"You promise me?" Song Hongxuan was a little surprised, "Don't you need to ask your factory director for instructions?" ”

"Qin Gong is our factory director." Qiao Changsheng introduced with a smile.

"Such a young factory director?" Song Hongxuan looked at Qin Hai seriously, then sighed and said, "Alas, I always thought that I was the only genius, and I became the deputy director of the workshop at the age of 22. I can't imagine that there is a more genius than me, I think Xiao Qin, you are in your early 20s, you must be less than 22 years old, how can your leaders be so open-minded and dare to promote you to be the director of the joint venture? ”

Qin Hai smiled dumbly, Song Hongxuan's character of saying something made him appreciate it. Of course, there is a need for scheming people in this world, but Qin Hai prefers that his collaborator is an open-minded gentleman, he doesn't like to use conspiracy to achieve results, but prefers to rely on strength to win and crush with strength.

"Okay, Old Song, you just said your situation, now I'll also introduce the situation on my side to you." Qin Hai said. Subsequently, he told Song Hongxuan what he had done in the past six months, of course, about his identity as a traveler, it was absolutely impossible to reveal, he just said that he liked to read and learn, so he had mastered some skills that others had not noticed.

Qin Hai's narration made Song Hongxuan dumbfounded, he had always wanted to pretend to be reserved and calm in front of Qin Hai in order to maintain his self-esteem. After listening to Qin Hai's experience, he was completely convinced, and sighed sincerely: "This is really called that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people." When I first heard that you stopped the train to protect the slag, I only thought that you were young and vigorous, but now I know that you are confident, so you can be fearless. In contrast, it is too pediatric for me to write this kind of request report to ask for help from the province. ”

"I'm also a coincidence." Qin Hai hurriedly said modestly, "How is it, Old Song, are you willing to cooperate with me now?" ”

"I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses." Song Hongxuan said with a smile, "By the way, when the heroes of Liangshan joined the gang, there was a ceremony of bowing their heads, my house is too small to be displayed, or we go outside, and I will make up for Director Qin?" ”

"Ha Luha, the little brother is ashamed, and the affairs of the special steel plant in the future will have to rely on Brother Song to preside over it." Qin Hai also followed Song Hongxuan's example and talked about the black words of the rivers and lakes.

Song Hongxuan said: "We don't have to say more about these false words. Since Director Qin trusts me, I won't be cowardly. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the factory to submit a report and ask to work in the special steel plant. If the factory approves it, I will go to the workshop immediately, and we will discuss the development of production together. Regarding the workers in the workshop, I suggest that we still have to be selective, and we can't pick all the vegetables in the basket, and we need to mix high and low. All of them are inexperienced young workers, and they definitely can't. But all of them are high-level technicians, and they are not necessarily suitable. Regarding this issue, Director Qin is not as experienced as me. ”

"Ha Luha, Lao Song's words show the demeanor of a workshop director. Okay, that's up to you. However, let's talk about it, in private, we don't have to be so polite, just call me Xiao Qin. In the future, they will stir spoons in a pot, and it is easy to talk if they are kind. Qin Hai said.

"This is not a problem, come, Director Xiao Qin, Master Qiao, guests come to tea as wine on cold nights, let's make this cup of tea together, and wish our special steel factory prosperity." Song Hongxuan raised the teacup and said to Qin Hai and Qiao Changsheng proudly. (To be continued......)
