Chapter 383: The more you know about the problem, the more you are
After the meeting, Xu Yanfeng took Tong Dingguo to his office.
This coking plant incident can be said to be Xu Yanfeng's first shot when he came to Lanlin County, so it must be fired.
Although Xu Yanfeng's behavior of suspending the coking plant greatly improved his reputation in Lanlin County. But the increase in reputation can only show that Xu Yanfeng has become well-known, and more cadres in Lanlin County know that there is such a number one person as Xu Yanfeng.
However, fame does not mean prestige. And Xu Yanfeng's previous reputation was not all positive. When many people were talking about the shutdown of the coking plant, most of their comments on Xu Yanfeng were that young cadres were motivated or something.
Motivated? It sounds like a compliment, but it's actually a bit neutral.
Moreover, it is not enough to stop the coking plant. After all, anyone can do this kind of thing to tell the workers of the coking plant about the safety hazards of the coking plant, and then force the coking plant to stop production, and it is impossible to prove Xu Yanfeng's ability.
Next, how to find a way to completely solve the problem of the coking plant, which can really bring prestige to Xu Yanfeng.
If the problem of the coking plant cannot be solved, then Xu Yanfeng will not be able to gain a firm foothold in Lanlin County.
Coming to his office, Xu Yanfeng said: "Director Tong, you are an old comrade in the county, how much do you know about the coking plant?" ”
In fact, Tong Dingguo, as the director of the safety supervision bureau, does not need to help the coking plant find a solution.
Even if the coking plant is a state-owned enterprise, the work safety supervision bureau only has the power to supervise and manage, and has no obligation to help solve safety problems.
So, the trouble of solving this problem. Tong Dingguo can completely ignore it.
However, Tong Dingguo has been in contact with Xu Yanfeng through the past few days, and he feels that Xu Yanfeng is a very righteous leader. And he became a deputy county magistrate at such a young age. The future is certainly very bright. Now that he has the opportunity to follow him and bring the relationship between the two closer, Tong Dingguo does not want to give up this opportunity.
And Tong Dingguo just followed and did it, if he really didn't do a good job, the county would only look for Xu Yanfeng, and would never look for him, the director of the safety supervision bureau.
So. Tong Dingguo made up his mind and tried his best to provide Xu Yanfeng with all the help.
"County Magistrate Xu, the situation of this coking plant. Actually, I know quite a bit. Tong Dingguo sighed and said: "Since the coking plant is a state-owned enterprise, it has lagged behind those private enterprises in terms of operation system. In addition, the equipment of the coking plant is backward, and there are already problems in production. Wang Yu, the chief engineer of the factory, also put forward suggestions for Jishu innovation many times. But the factory can't afford that much money. I can only continue to push forward with the old donkey. And it seems that the coking plant can create a lot of output value for the county every year, but I'm afraid that the county magistrate Xu doesn't know, the coking plant owes a lot of debt to the bank. ”
Xu Yanfeng didn't answer, and continued to listen quietly.
"Since the previous year, the coking plant has been taking out loans from banks. If you don't take out a loan, the factory won't be able to run. In order to allow the factory to produce, the county leaders also repeatedly asked the bank to give loans to the coking plant. Especially last year, Secretary Fang helped the coking plant find a bank loan of 60 million. At the beginning of this year, I heard that another 10 million yuan was loaned. All this money is used to buy raw materials. The coke produced is sold after sale. It's just not enough to make ends meet. The main problem is the aging of the equipment and the high energy consumption. Caused by inefficiency. However, if you really want to completely solve the problem, the cost of replacing the old equipment will need at least more than 300 million, which is still the price of last year, and it is estimated that the equipment will be more expensive this year. Where does the money come from? The coking plant will definitely not be able to take it, and the bank will not lend them so much. It can only rely on borrowing 20 or 30 million yuan from the bank every year to maintain production. The county leaders also acquiesced to the coking plant, after all, none of them could work in Lanlin County for a lifetime, first pushing the coking plant to create output value, so that they had political achievements, and when they were transferred, who would care about the life and death of the coking plant. With the current situation of the coking plant, it will not be more than five years, and it will definitely be declared bankrupt. ”
After Tong Dingguo finished speaking, he smiled and said: "I, a cadre in charge of production safety, is actually a bit out of bounds to say these words. But...... Hehe, that's the reality. ”
Tong Dingguo commented on the county leaders, it is indeed out of bounds. But he wants to have a good relationship with Xu Yanfeng, if he doesn't have a heart-to-heart relationship, then he won't get Xu Yanfeng's approval at all.
And Tong Dingguo also believes that what he said to Xu Yanfeng today will never be passed on by Xu Yanfeng.
Listening to Tong Dingguo's words, Xu Yanfeng nodded, he was also convinced that what Tong Dingguo said was the truth.
In fact, Fang Risheng and Su Zhengqun are clear about the situation of the coking plant, but it is not easy to solve it. Therefore, they can only acquiesce to the coking plant to rely on loans. As long as the coking plant can bring them output value, then after they have been promoted for a few years, who will still take care of the coking plant's debts.
When the time comes, the coking plant will go bankrupt in which government, and which government will be blamed for its bad luck. It doesn't matter if the bank comes to collect debts, it is enough to auction off the old equipment and land, and repay the bank's money. However, the Shengxing coking plant is about to disappear completely.
"Director Tong, do you think there is much hope for the government to allocate funds to help the coking plant replace the equipment?" Xu Yanfeng asked.
"Impossible." Tong Dingguo said categorically: "The county finance can't come up with so much money. Even if you can get it, the leader won't take it. With more than 300 million funds, how much can you do? There are too many things that can be done to build roads, renovate old cities, build schools, control flood control projects, and so on, and all of them are real political achievements when they are completed. Isn't this better than throwing it into a coking plant? If you really invest more than 300 million, first of all, it is not easy to say whether you can completely solve the problem, even if you can really solve the problem, but the higher-level leaders will not regard this matter as your political achievement. Because the coking plant is on the boundary of Lanlin County, if there is a problem, the county should solve it by itself. ”
After finishing speaking, Tong Dingguo smiled awkwardly and said: "County Magistrate Xu, in fact, the problem we found out about the coking plant this time is just a safety issue, hehe......"
Xu Yanfeng understood what Tong Dingguo meant, he said that this time it was only a safety problem, so let the coking plant stop production for maintenance. If there is a shortage of money, the county government can come up with a few million, and the county government can still take this money, or find a bank to borrow a little. Wouldn't it be over to seize the time to solve the safety problem and let the coking plant be put back into production? Why do so much to do and have to replace the coking plant with new equipment?
The matter of eliminating backward equipment is not under the control of Xu Yanfeng, the deputy county magistrate, and it is not necessary to make trouble for himself.
Xu Yanfeng also understood that he was also looking for something to do for himself. However, he had already suggested at the meeting that the coking plant should replace the equipment, and Su Zhengqun also agreed and handed over the work to Xu Yanfeng. If Xu Yanfeng gives up now, he will not be able to get over face in the first place.
Xu Yanfeng is a face-saving person, if he relents this time, it will be even more difficult for him to gain a foothold in Lanlin County in the future.
Moreover, the replacement of equipment is also for the long-term development of the coking plant. If Xu Yanfeng only cares about safety issues this time, and doesn't care about the equipment, then as Tong Dingguo said, the coking plant will definitely go bankrupt in less than five years.
"Director Tong, I understand. However, since I was put on the wrong track, I couldn't watch the coking plant go further and further down the wrong path. I think that now it is necessary to take this opportunity to restructure the coking plant. Xu Yanfeng said.
Tong Dingguo swallowed his saliva and sighed: "County Magistrate Xu, to be honest, although you are not very old, I admire your courage very much. You are better than those old comrades who are older, who only think about the present and do not think about the future at all. Speaking of this, Tong Dingguo gritted his teeth and said: "County Magistrate Xu, in the future, my old boy will follow you." Although I am only the director of the safety supervision bureau, if you need me, just tell me. ”
Xu Yanfeng smiled, for Tong Dingguo's statement, he did not spy on the other party's purpose.
Tong Dingguo must have a purpose, and anyone who does everything has a purpose.
However, as long as he is willing to listen to Xu Yanfeng and is willing to help Xu Yanfeng do this. It's normal to have a purpose, and you can't let people do things for you.
After Xu Yanfeng made a decision, he called Wang Yu, the chief engineer of the coking plant.
Now in the entire coking plant, I am afraid that only Wang Yu can think of a piece with Xu Yanfeng.
"Chief Engineer Wang, now that the coking plant has been shut down, do you have any good countermeasures to the problem of the coking plant?" Xu Yanfeng asked while snooping on Wang Yu.
Wang Yu also had a good impression of Xu Yanfeng, so he said bluntly: "If it is to solve the potential safety hazards, then it is easy to say." But if you want to completely solve the problem of the coking plant, there are only eight words. ”
"Which eight words?" Xu Yanfeng asked.
"Update jishu, replace the device." After Wang Yu finished speaking, he added: "I have jishu, I can train apprentices......"
Speaking of this, Wang Yu paused slightly, and Xu Yanfeng said, "What about the equipment?" ”
"I can't help it." Wang Yu said: "The coking plant has no money, and it still owes a lot of debt." ”
"Is there no way to do it?" Xu Yanfeng continued to ask.
"Yes." Wang Yu looked at Xu Yanfeng and said, "Restructuring!" ”
When Wang Yu said these two words, Xu Yanfeng could see that he really wanted to do this. After all, Wang Yu has worked in Shengxing all his life, and he didn't go to any large coking plants that invited him to leave. This shows that he has feelings for Shengxing, and he doesn't want to watch Shengxing go bankrupt.
"Okay, Chief Engineer Wang, you said it to my heart. The result of my discussion with Director Tong just now is the restructuring. Xu Yanfeng said slowly.
Wang Yu's eyes widened, he didn't expect Xu Yanfeng to agree with his words. Moreover, Xu Yanfeng is only the deputy county magistrate in charge of security, and the problem of enterprise restructuring is so troublesome, will he take the initiative to take over?
"Chief Engineer Wang, don't look at me like that. At the meeting, I made it clear to the county magistrate Su that I want to completely solve the problem of the coking plant, which is not only a safety issue. So, this time I called you to ask you how to do it. Xu Yanfeng smiled faintly. (To be continued.) )
