Shouzhou Iron and Steel Plant, the most famous representative industrial complex in Shouzhou, from the adjudication of coal mines, the transportation of pig iron to the casting and forging of various types of steel, this huge industrial site with more than 2,000 workers was once so glorious. Hundreds of technicians have performed miracles, and the factory even has its own academic forum where papers on so-called materials science are published regularly.

But now the factory was in a state of chaos, with all the workshop doors sealed, the locomotives sealed in the garage, and the workers, whether foundry or preparation, apprentices and deputy chief engineers, had nothing to do. The blast furnace has also cooled down, and tons and tons of raw material are piled up in the site, not knowing where to go in the future.

Cheng Qi witnessed this scene, and suddenly had a very strange sense of familiarity - he happened to experience a wave when he was a child, when his family had relatives waiting for a job transfer in a state-owned factory, and before the plan came down, the workers who had no intention of working were also wandering around the factory like this, not a single machine was running, and not a single chimney was smoking.

Cheng Qi found Yuan Luoyuan, an activist in his workers' night school, and Yuan Luoyuan was also very happy to see Cheng Qi coming: "Mr. Cheng, we big guys are also trying to find you." Now that the factory has stopped production, I heard that Boss Fei is also finished, what should we do in the future! ”

"yes, yes." The workers all gathered around, fortunately, these people around Yuan Luoyuan had taken classes in the workers' night school, and when they heard that Cheng Qi taught the theory of "exploiting class", they were convinced of this little Xiucai, Cheng Qi saw their trust in him and looked at him with a sense of help, and he really felt a little ashamed: he actually didn't have such a big ability to handle such a big thing, and now he was made it difficult to ride a tiger by the cunning She Ji, and he had to be responsible for these thousands of workers to the end, Cheng Qi felt that he had more than enough strength but not enough power.

But if he gives up and leaves with his ass, although he can say that he can make a difference - after all, the main task of bringing down Fei Jianren has been completed, and he can explain it in front of Hong Chengchou, the strategic master who has carefully laid out all this, but he feels sorry for his conscience.

Looking around and looking at the eager eyes of the workers, Cheng Qi suddenly felt a sense of responsibility - no matter what way it is said, he is responsible for the current situation of the workers, so it is equivalent to his obligation to help them change the current situation.

Cheng Qi took a deep breath and said to the workers: "I came here to find a way with everyone. What are the main difficulties for everyone now? Say it all, let's discuss it one by one. The hearts of the people are united, and Mount Tai moves. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, as long as we workers are united enough, we will definitely win the final victory! ”

After cheering up the workers, Cheng Qi sat down with the workers to discuss the current situation – in the words of a later generation, "the only thing to fear is fear itself". In fact, there is no problem with the operation of the steel plant itself, and Fei Jianren's family business rarely cares about the operation of the factory. It's just that the tax police team put seals everywhere and moved account books, which made people panic, once the goods could not be delivered to the customer who signed the order, the customer immediately applied for preservation measures like the magistrate's court, and sealed the accounts of the steel mill in the largest ticket numbers, which is actually worse, and the factory has been completely shut down - fortunately, Fei's Group is not listed on the Bianjing Jieshenxiang Stock Exchange, otherwise it will be a triple blow, and the whole hiccup will be cold.

After analyzing the situation, Cheng Qi said to the workers: "Then what we have to do now is to organize everyone to stabilize first, invite the manager and the managers back, let them talk to the customer, the goods are in the warehouse, as long as the seal of the tax police is lifted, it can be delivered immediately." ”

"Second, everyone can't mess up in the back. What should be produced is still to be produced, and the salary that should be received cannot be less. The managers and managers are back, the organization and production will not be chaotic, and everyone will still count how much work they do. It's just that in the past, everyone worked for Boss Fei alone, and from now on, whether it is an apprentice or an engineer, they will work for themselves! ”

After Cheng Qi calmed down the workers, when he wrote a letter of complaint and solicited dozens of workers to sign it, he handed it to the prefect's yamen together.

Guo Shan is also discussing this matter with Yuxing. As a magistrate, the Uprefect didn't want to see tens of thousands of workers lose their jobs and tens of thousands of families lose their economic income all at once—if this kind of thing happens, you can imagine with your toes how much trouble it will cause to the magistrate.

Looking at the statement brought by Cheng Qi, Yuxing seemed to see a ray of light: "Production saves itself...... Now that the future of the Fischer Group is uncertain, the workers are spontaneously organizing themselves into production? ”

"I think it's doable." Cheng Qi said in an unquestionable tone: "The biggest problem now is not the question of who owns the factory, but the problem of thousands of workers having to eat." Solving this problem, no matter how the Fei Group operates in the future, whether Fei Jianren can stand alone. Factories won't collapse. If the factory does not collapse, the workers will not be chaotic. ”

Yu Xing pondered for a while, and made another difficulty: "Now it is the transfer envoy Si Yamen who has sealed the factory ......"

"The Transit Envoy only sealed the ledger." A voice came from outside the house, and everyone looked at it together, and it turned out to be the "culprit" Lord She Jishe.

After She Ji entered the door, he ignored the murderous eyes of everyone present, and said proudly: "A certain family only ordered the account books to be sealed, and asked a few accountants and directors to come over the house. As for the account, it was seized by the Magistrate's House and has nothing to do with a certain family. And the managers and ministers fled, but this matter made me feel even more suspicious, as if someone was determined to make a big deal out of it, so as to embarrass the prefect. ”

Yuxing saw that he had splashed water on him, and he was about to ridicule him. Cheng Qi said: "Since the transshipment envoy does not have the intention of drying up and fishing, then the workers want to produce to save themselves, do you support it or not?" ”

She Jiwaner smiled: "Don't say this kind of thing, you young people, you always want to make a big news, and then criticize me, right?" I can tell you unequivocally that as long as it can be for the development of the local economy, the Transit Mission will support it. As for how to support and who to support, that is a legal decision, and of course, the opinion of the envoy is also very important. ”

Yuxing said: "Since your company still has a local Sangzi friendship, then this mansion can rest assured." Factories must start production, otherwise the society will be unrest and the people will be uneasy. You and I are both shepherds, and no one can escape the involvement. ”

She Ji said: "That's exactly what it means. As long as the tax can be paid on time, the transfer envoy does not care whether the company's surname is Zhang or Li. ”

Cheng Qi said: "Then in this case, I will go and explain to the workers." Invite the managers and managers back and resume production according to the plan - if the Cao Si and the Magistrate need to cooperate, they will do their best to cooperate. Of course, we also ask the yamen at all levels to be more considerate of the difficulties of the workers. Help the workers get through the difficult times. ”
