The plan is not as good as the change, a phone call from the factory office made Tian Wenjian, who had just returned to his hometown, end his vacation and return in a hurry with Xiao Na.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of September 1, Tian Wenjian, who had traveled nearly 1,000 kilometers back and forth, did not take a break, so he changed his clothes to participate in the meeting of middle-level and above cadres of the 315 factory. The conference room was full, people were talking in private, and no one could figure out what medicine would be poured out of the gourd.

On the rostrum, in addition to Director Zhao, who had just returned from the capital, as well as Deputy Secretary Chang, Deputy Director Yu, Deputy Director Ding, Deputy Director Liu, Secretary Yuan of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Director Peng of the Military Representative Office, there was also an unfamiliar leader in his 40s.

In view of the fact that he was sitting next to Director Zhao, Tian Wenjian really looked at him a few times, the leader was tall and thin, white and clean, with a neat split hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a straight nose and a wide mouth, a pair of typical intellectual-like eyes behind the glasses under the thick eyebrows, and a white shirt and black tie looked very capable and erudite.

Could it be a change of factory leadership? Tian Wenjian's heart sank, and he secretly thought to Mr. Zhao, you must not step down so quickly, no matter what, you have to approve my resignation report before leaving.

Director Zhao sat in his position and coughed, the venue was quiet all of a sudden, and under the signal of him and the leader, the deputy secretary presided over the meeting and said: "Comrades, before the official start of the meeting, let us welcome Director Chen of the Department of Physical Reform of the Commission of Science and Technology to inspect the work of our factory with warm applause. ”

A few months ago, the State Council made a great move in carrying out institutional reforms, changing the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, which was originally subordinate to the Central Military Commission, into the current General Armament Department and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, one of the 28 ministries and commissions of the State Council. For the 315 factory, it is the original owner, and it has become the current customer. The original operational guidance department and the State Council's Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense after the reorganization of the State Planning Commission's National Defense Department have become the new owners.

The applause was very warm, but the factory leaders such as Director Zhao and Deputy Secretary Chang laughed unnaturally. Thinking about it, I used to eat the troops and be under the control of the troops, but I changed the leader inexplicably, and all the previous relationships no longer existed, so of course this mood is not much better.

With some humility, Director Chen cleared his throat, looked around at the audience, and said in a low voice: "Comrades, the reform of the State Council organs and the establishment of a brand-new national defense science, technology and industry system are important measures to implement the deployment of the Party Central Committee and the Military Commission...... In fact, in the past 20 years, it has been related to a series of efforts by China's national defense industry to convert military to civilian use, and it has also provided sufficient imagination space for continuing to "promote military to civilian use" in the future.

In accordance with the State Council's arrangements, in the next 10 years, we will readjust and reform the national defense science, technology, and industrial system and the weapons and equipment procurement system, and improve the ability of independent innovation and the quality and efficiency of weapons and equipment development. The goal of reform and readjustment is to establish and improve a system for scientific research and production of weapons and equipment, a system for cultivating military personnel, and a system for supporting the army with the people, persist in building the army through diligence and thrift, and embark on a path of integrated military-civilian development with Chinese characteristics......"

Director Chen spoke for more than an hour, and Tian Wenjian memorized a lot, but he didn't understand what he wanted to express. After all, everything he said can be found in the newspaper, and it is all a big truth, and it is really not of guiding significance for a maintenance unit like the 315 factory.

Despite this, as soon as Director Chen's words ended, the venue still burst into warm applause. In particular, those department-level cadres who were eager for progress were so excited that their eyes lit up and they slapped desperately, hoping to make a good impression in front of Director Chen.

Immediately afterwards, Director Zhao conveyed the spirit of the meeting of the trip to the capital, with a look of concern for the country and the people, and introduced the current situation of the entire military industrial system in a heavy tone. For example, the scale of the product is small and the concentration is low. The added value of the entire national defense science, technology and industrial system accounts for only 0.6% of the country's GDP, which is only equivalent to a large private enterprise.

Among the military and civilian products, the sales revenue of the two major categories of civilian communication and vehicles exceeded 10 billion, accounting for 56% of the output value of civilian products, and the output value of several thousand other products only accounted for 44%; The sales profit of military and civilian products is very low, only less than 2 percent, less than half of the average level of state-owned and non-state-owned industrial enterprises above designated size. The development of military and civilian products lacks depth and breadth, and the development is uneven.

The meeting lasted for a long time, and Tian Wenjian only remembered that even though the two major shipbuilding groups, which account for two-thirds of the country's shipbuilding capacity, the combined capacity of their four major shipyards is still less than the production capacity of South Korea's Daewoo alone.

The situation is indeed grim, but it seems too far away for the 315 factory, which is too good to be better. Perhaps because of this, despite the heavy agenda items, the meeting ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The Department of Structural Reform leads the inspection work, and the Office of Structural Reform is, of course, the top priority of the inspection.

After lunch, Director Chen, accompanied by the leaders of a dry factory, visited the merged and reorganized Longjiang Air Force Hospital. Under the introduction of the director of the political department and chairman of the trade union, Director Chen was very satisfied with the restructuring work of the 315 factory, not only gave a high evaluation, but also took a happy group photo with everyone in front of the inscription of the seven old leaders of the central government.

At half past five in the afternoon, Chen Si, who was in charge of Wanji, took a United Airlines passenger plane back to the capital. Tian Wenjian, who thought everything was fine, was about to go back to the hotel to accompany his wife, when he was invited to the factory director's office by Director Wang of the factory office.

The seven giants of Factory 315 are all there, all with heavy faces, sitting around the coffee table and smoking a cigarette, the office is full of smoke, and the atmosphere is very weird.

Isn't it just a normal check-up? The results are there, and the flood fighting and rescue have just made meritorious contributions, why do you look like a mourning examiner? Tian Wenjian stood quietly on the side, meditating for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason.

"Oda, I approved your resignation report. It's good to go, so you don't have to stay here and be idle in the future. ”

Zhao Weiming's inexplicable words confused Tian Wenjian, and he couldn't help asking: "President Zhao, Deputy Secretary Chang, what's going on?" ”

Deputy Secretary Chang sighed, waved his hand to him to sit down, and said helplessly: "Colleague, we can only help you write your resume beautifully." As for whether you can find a receiving unit, it's up to you. ”

Looking at everyone's sad faces, Tian Wenjian was anxious, pointed to the resignation application on Director Zhao's desk, and said impatiently: "Leaders, you have to let me go clearly, right?" If you don't tell me anything, then I'm not leaving. ”

Deputy Secretary Yuan nodded slightly, and said with a helpless wry smile: "It's not that I won't tell you, but whether I tell you or not." ”

"Factory 315 is almost gone, and we are about to be merged." Zhao Weiming snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "A subordinate first-class enterprise that has made great contributions to national defense construction will become an insignificant branch!" The government and the enterprise are separated, and in addition to Director Peng, we are about to become workshop directors. ”

"Why?" Tian Wenjian was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and blurted out: "The efficiency of our factory is so good, even if it is merger and reorganization, it will not be our turn." ”

"If only you had that simple!"

Deputy Director Yu sighed lightly and said solemnly: "The leaders don't care whether you lose money or not, they say that the restructuring will be restructured, and the merger will be merger, and we can only recognize it." ”

"Lao Yu, I think the problem is still with the two major groups, they are interested in our piece of fat. If you want to talk about centralization, why don't those aircraft factories that can't even pay their salaries come under control? It's simple. ”

Director Peng's words aroused everyone's resonance, and Deputy Director Ding slapped the table and said indignantly: "They just bullied no one above us, if the old chiefs are here, how can it be their turn to pick peaches!" ”

Factory 315 is indeed very rich, but because it is a military industrial enterprise, it has always been under the management of the army. Military law is like a mountain, and no one dares to take large sums of money for corruption and bribery, so they just eat, drink, and travel for nothing. It can be said that they are fundamentally different from the leaders of local state-owned enterprises, if the government and enterprises are really separated and merged by those large groups, then it is really as Director Zhao said, plummeting into a powerless workshop director.

In fact, it's not that "there is no one above" as Deputy Director Ding said, but that the people above don't want to care about these things now. After all, by handing over the entire military-industrial system, the army is throwing the big burden of military-industrial enterprises to the State Council. You can't leave the units with good benefits, and push the ones with bad benefits to wipe their butts.

Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Which group wants to annex us?" ”

"It's not decided yet."

Director Zhao rubbed his temples and said weakly: "The reorganization is from top to bottom, and it is said that the nuclear industry group company, the nuclear industry construction group company, the aerospace science and technology group company, the aerospace electromechanical group company, the aviation industry first group company, and the aviation industry second group company will be formed first. The first and second groups of the aviation industry, which are being formed, are staring at our piece of fat. ”

It does seem reasonable for an aircraft manufacturer to merge a flight repair company. However, it is a bit too much not to solve the problem of aircraft manufacturing enterprises with poor efficiency such as the Red Star Machinery Factory, but to focus on maintenance plants like the 315 Factory.

In the final analysis, it's still profit! Tian Wenjian sighed secretly, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's really not good news, not to mention how the future owner will arrange for you, just the treatment of more than 2,800 cadres and workers, whether it can maintain the current level is a question." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Deputy Secretary Chang nodded heavily, lit a cigarette, and said in a foggy voice: "I have inquired about the branches under them, and the laid-off workers and the people who receive the relief money will take our little blood to fill their bottomless pit, then our cadres and workers will drink the northwest wind?" ”

"Actually, it's not like there is no way at all." After thinking about it, Deputy Director Yu raised his head suddenly, stared at Tian Wenjian, and said thoughtfully: "Everyone, can we think of a way to get rid of the relationship between the old heads of the Central Committee?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Tian Wenjian shook his head again and again and said: "Deputy Director Yu, the seven characters of the old head of the Central Committee were begged for by General Qiao. Not to mention that his old man is no longer there, even if his old man is still alive, he will not help this violation of principles. ”

"It's useless not to talk about it."

Director Zhao stood up, patted Tian Wenjian's shoulder, and said sadly: "We don't know what will happen to Factory 315 in the future." But in any case, we must hand over the social pension insurance and medical insurance of the employees before the merger.

Oda, the matter of replacing steel with bamboo on the Longjiang embankment has been exposed, and the province is investigating the inside story of the water conservancy engineering company. In order to facilitate the investigation, the provincial party committee let Wang Hongwei go to the Central Party School to study, Mei Yuting is now in charge of the work of the municipal axe, you are more familiar with her, first contact her on behalf of the factory, and strive to make the overall planning of the society before the end of the month. ”

At this critical moment, others must be jumping up and down to find relationships and go the way, so as to find a good position after the merger and reorganization. But Zhao Weiming first thought about the interests of more than 2,800 employees, which made Tian Wenjian very moved, and hurriedly nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the city to find her later." ”

Deputy Secretary Chang came over and solemnly reminded: "In addition, this matter must be kept secret, if it spreads, it will have to cause chaos in the world." ”

"Yes."

Tian Wenjian just walked to the door, put back the approved resignation application in his hand, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhao, the resignation report should be handed over to the personnel department after this matter is completed." ”

"Well, you are still the director of the System Reform Office, and I am still the director of Factory 315." Zhao Weiming nodded slightly, and said without self-deprecation.

Back in the room on the fourth floor of the guest house, Xiao Pepper was talking with Xiao Na, and seeing Tian Wenjian walking in listlessly, Xiao Na hurriedly greeted her, tilted her head and asked eagerly: "Husband, was your resignation application rejected?" ”

"No, Mr. Zhao approved it."

"Then why are you upset?" Cortana's big watery eyes stared at him, looking suspicious.

Tian Wenjian shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I'm just a little tired." ”

"Brother-in-law, Dean Jiang and Political Commissar Yang asked me to invite you to the banquet, it's almost time, let's go." Pepper took off her big-brimmed hat from the hanger, took Cortana's arm and prepared to walk out.

Tian Wenjian, who had to help Factory 315 finish the last thing anyway, and who had to be worthy of that salary, shook his head helplessly and said, "Xiaomei, I really can't go tonight." I'm going to the city later, so you can take Cortana with you. ”

"How? Today is Dean Jiang's big talk, and even Captain Wen is back. ”

"Come on, I'll greet them when I turn around." Tian Wenjian patted Xiao Na's arm and continued: "Wife, I may come back later, don't wait for me." ”

Cortana nodded obediently and whispered, "Well, be careful on the road." ”

With the bank card left by Xiao Ling, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the development zone. Ren Ran and Li Zhiqiang were waiting by the gate of the management committee, and when they saw Tian Wenjian coming out of Santana, they pointed to the Audi by the door and beckoned him to get into the car. I haven't seen each other for more than two months, and the three of them can't help but have a pleasantry, and the most they say is the flood that has just passed.

“…… Seeing the camouflage uniforms and training uniforms worn by the militiamen, many enterprises purchased military uniforms as work clothes, and at the time of the fourth flood, whether the militia went up or not, there were nearly 30,000 people on the embankment. The head of the central committee looked at the plane and asked which unit was below, but in the end, no one could figure it out, and the call to the provincial defense headquarters found out that our section was full of militia. ”

Ren Ran's eloquent introduction amused Tian Wenjian, and he couldn't help asking, "What happened later?" ”

Later, when the commander of the regional region came, he saw that the embankment was full of red flags of the militia regiment of the development zone, and immediately gave the military sub-district and the district people's armed forces department a collective second-class merit. After confirming that there was no problem on our side, we also transferred a regiment to Jiangbei. ”

As soon as Ren Ran finished speaking, Li Zhiqiang interjected and said with a wry smile: "There are two regiments on the number, but the number of people is two divisions, and the military appearance is so neat, we have made a big oolong, we don't know how to end." ”

"The militia is not an active force, so it's not a bad thing to include the list."

"Cheap old Wu, he has now become a model for the construction of national defense reserve forces, and he will go to the capital in a few days to participate in the flood relief commendation conference." Ren Ran lit a cigarette, looked at the scenery outside the window, and smiled enviously: "According to a friend from the provincial military district, after attending the commendation meeting, he will go to Qinglongqiao to study." ”

"That's a good thing!" Tian Wenjian was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and immediately said ecstatically: "It's not good to be a general, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree." ”

"Of course he's improved and we're all happy for him." Ren Ran changed his words and smiled secretly: "But tonight's meal must be invited by him, otherwise Lao Li and I are very unbalanced." ”

The formation of the militia regiment and the flood fighting and rescue work were all done by the management committee of the development zone, but in the end, Wu Minren was allowed to pick peaches, which is indeed a bit unbalanced when you think about it. Fortunately, everyone is a comrade-in-arms in the same camp, otherwise something will really happen.

After Tian Wenjian thought about it, he said thoughtfully: "Lao Wu's promotion is really not a good thing for you. First, there is a lack of strong reinforcements, and second, even if he carries the general's star, he will only be able to move around in the two positions of chief of staff of the provincial military district or director of the political department in the future. There is no one at that level, and that's all for this life. ”

"Yes, it's better to stay in Longjiang and be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee."

"But you can't measure a soldier with the thinking of an official, for them a general is a lifelong pursuit, even if he has no power or power after carrying the general's star, there is no regret."

Ren Ran nodded slightly, then changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Tian, I heard that your Wang political commissar has also improved?" ”

"He is different from Lao Wu, Master D is an ace division, and it is a matter of time before he and Master Xu improve." Tian Wenjian yawned, and said in an urn voice: "Lao Wu is different, if he misses this time, then he will have no chance with the general in his life." ”

Thinking of his bumpy career, and then thinking of Wu Minren's bright experience, Li Zhiqiang couldn't help but sigh: "People, relying on opportunities is opportunities." Who would have thought that a year ago there was still a nominal political commissar of a military sub-district, because of a flood to become a general. ”

"Isn't Vice Mayor Mei the same?" Ren Ran turned around, patted the back of the co-pilot's seat, and said with a smile: "Boss Wang probably won't be able to come back, I don't know if she has a chance to straighten things out after the matter of the embankment is investigated." ”

Tian Wenjian didn't think about it, so he shook his head and said: "It's too simple to think, I don't think she has much hope." ”

"Is there any inside information?" This is a major matter related to vital interests, and Ren Ran suddenly turned his head with an impatient expression.

"What else do you need to do here?"

Tian Wenjian gave him a roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "Let her preside over the municipal axe work is just an expedient measure during the flood fight." No one above supports her, how can it be so easy to straighten it out? Either it is not the presiding officer, but the acting mayor. ”

I have to admit that Tian Wenjian's words still have some truth. The leader who appreciated Mei Yuting had already retired, and no one in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee spoke to her, how could she be corrected? Thinking of this, Ren Ran let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we have no joy." ”

Tian Wenjian patted Li Zhiqiang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you want to be promoted, you can't be a good official, which Director Li feels the most." ”

Li Zhiqiang was happy, turned around and quipped: "Who said I don't want to be promoted? It's just that it can't go up. ”
