Qiu Tongzhi, secretary of the party committee and director of the No. 1 Machinery Factory, has always thought that he knows the old secretary Chen Zhongyang best, and knows that Chen Zhongyang is not only Xiao Daoqing's sworn enemy, but also looks down on Guo Huaiqiu, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Shu Huaru, the mayor of the city.

The night before yesterday, the workers on duty learned the news of Guo Huaiqiu's death and were planning to make trouble, but Qiu Tongzhi did not report to Cao Wuping, the deputy mayor in charge, nor to the bureau, but ran to Chen Zhongyang at 12 o'clock in the night to report.

Chen Zhongyang asked puzzledly: "What does Guo Huaiqiu's death have to do with the workers waiting for work?" What are they messing with? ”

Qiu Tongzhi said: "The workers all said that Guo Huaiqiu was a good secretary, had no official standing, never ate and drank too much, and was tired to death on the job. ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "Workers at the grassroots level only look at superficial phenomena! In my opinion, even if Guo Huaiqiu does not die, he should resign himself. If the incompetent people resign, there will be hope in the first machinery factory, and there will be hope in Pingchuan! ”

Qiu Tongzhi sighed again and again: "It's miles, it's miles." ”

Chen Zhongyang said again: "You don't know yet, do you? Guo Huaiqiu is gone, and there may be a more incompetent Xiao Daoqing. You can tell the workers in the factory that this Secretary Xiao is better than Secretary Guo, not only does he not eat and drink, but he doesn't even smoke a cigarette. ”

Qiu Tongzhi asked tentatively: "Old secretary, do you think we do our work?" ”

Chen Zhongyang waved his hand: "I don't care, you let them find Xiao Daoqing and Shu Huaru!" ”

After going back, Qiu Tongzhi pondered and figured out, thinking that he had figured out Chen Zhongyang's intentions: Xiao Daoqing took Guo Huaiqiu's class, can the old secretary be happy? Can you give Xiao Daoqing a little color? Maybe the old secretary wants to make a fuss about the workers at this time!

As a result, Qiu Tongzhi and other leaders in the factory not only did not do their work, but intentionally or unintentionally said that "incompetent people should resign", so that it caused a mess in the factory. Some workers waved a flag to mourn Guo Huaiqiu, while others shouted the slogan "The incompetent resign".

Such a fuss immediately alarmed Bi Changsheng, director of the Public Security Bureau, and Wu Mingxiong, deputy secretary in charge of politics and law, and Qiu Tongzhi was also scolded. Wu Mingxiong didn't care about anything else, only asked to stabilize the mood of the workers, and said that as long as there was a mess in the No. 1 Machinery Factory, he would be asked by Qiu Tongzhi.

What's even worse is that the workers who were persuaded to leave with great difficulty yesterday came again today, saying that they were going to the city to petition collectively. Qiu Tongzhi was really furious in his heart, thinking of Wu Mingxiong's fierce appearance yesterday, he didn't dare to play child's play, so he asked a deputy secretary of the party committee to lead someone to block the factory door, and he hurriedly called Chen Zhongyang to ask for ideas.

Chen Zhongyang was very hot when he received the call, and he asked him when he opened his mouth: "How can you make such a fuss?!" Yesterday I was making trouble in the factory, and today I want to make trouble in the city, what do you want to do as a factory director? ! ”

Qiu Tongzhi said: "Old secretary, you said that you don't care, I thought it was your intention to let the workers make trouble." ”

Chen Zhongyang was furious: "What do I mean? I, Chen Zhongyang, am the deputy secretary of the Pingchuan Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, will I let you lead the workers waiting for work to petition in the city? Am I crazy, or are you Qiu Tongzhi crazy?! ”

Qiu Tongzhi's face turned pale for a while: "Don't you also say that incompetent people should resign?" ”

Chen Zhongyang said sternly: "I said that all incompetent people should resign, which is my personal opinion, and I just talk casually in front of old comrades like you, and does not represent any organization. Don't you understand that?! ”

Qiu Tongzhi opened his mouth and couldn't speak anymore.

Chen Zhongyang was still saying: "If you use this kind of words to affect the mood of the workers on the job, I can't spare you!" You, Qiu Tongzhi, are a party member and cadre at the deputy department level, you must have party spirit and a position, and don't take the opportunity to create chaos and harm others and yourself! I warn you that Wu Mingxiong is about to become the secretary of the Pingchuan City Party Committee, and you must think carefully about what the consequences will be if you get into trouble with Wu Mingxiong. ”

Qiu Tongzhi instinctively asked: "Didn't you say that Xiao Daoqing was the secretary of the municipal party committee, why did he become Wu Mingxiong again?" ”

Chen Zhongyang said: "This is the latest decision of the provincial party committee, and it is also the final decision, you should stop messing around." How to make a mess, you Qiu Tongzhi will end it! ”

However, it is difficult to end.

No matter what banner the workers are waging, they are all for wages. The factory has been shut down for three months, and each person is only paid 80 yuan per month for living expenses, and many people have two husbands and wives, or even three generations of a family working in the machinery factory, and life is really difficult. If their difficulties are not fundamentally resolved, the factors of instability will not be eliminated, and yesterday and today will be calmed down, and tomorrow will be suppressed if today is suppressed. Even if he doesn't talk nonsense in front of the workers, the workers will make trouble.

Pingchuan Machinery No. 1 Factory has fallen to this point, which should be said to have a lot to do with Guo Huaiqiu and Shu Huaru.

As early as more than a year ago, the first factory of Pingchuan Machinery was in a recession, with a large backlog of inventory, precipitation of funds, and an increasingly heavy debt burden, which was close to the point of insolvency. At this time, after Chen Zhongyang's introduction, Zheng Jieming, president of the Far East of SAT Company in the United States, came to fully merge Pingchuan Machinery No. 1 Factory. Zheng Jieming's plan was that SAT would assume all the debts and debts of the Pingchuan Machinery No. 1 Factory, invest $2 million to rebuild the new factory in the international industrial park, and build a 28-story international building on the original site of the No. 1 Machinery Factory.

Guo Huaiqiu and Shu Huaru believe that the essence of SAT's merger plan is to take advantage of the merger to acquire 16,000 square meters of land near the city center of Pingchuan Machinery No. 1 Factory almost free of charge. At that time, the downturn in the national real estate industry had not yet begun, and land prices were generally high. In addition, it is difficult to grasp the policy. Therefore, Guo Huaiqiu and Shu Huaru proposed that it is advisable to take a joint venture, and the state-owned land should be used as a shareholder, even if SAT can hold a controlling stake.

As a result, Zheng Jieming, president of SAT Far East, quit again. Zheng Jieming used to be a well-known rebel leader in the Pingchuan area, and he was the director of the Yunhai Revolutionary Committee during the ** period, and he understood China's national conditions, but now he has become a fake foreign devil, and he has an almost crazy enthusiasm for the annexation of state-owned assets. He has publicly predicted on some informal occasions that a wave of carving up China's state-owned assets is coming, and foreigners, officials, and a group of powerful private entrepreneurs with a background will surely become the first beneficiaries of this carving. What he wants is this kind of predatory benefit, not poverty alleviation, and the joint venture plan is naturally unwilling to accept it.

At this time, the No. 1 Machinery Factory itself also had an accident. At that time, life was still going on, and wages could be paid on loans, but many cadres and workers were dissatisfied with taking the factory to an international industrial park far from the city center, thinking that it was too far to go to work. At the workers' congress, 18 employee representatives jointly opposed the acceptance of SAT's merger plan, and the whole factory was criticized.

The merger of Pingchuan Machinery No. 1 Factory was put on hold. This made Qiu Tongzhi very disappointed.

After SAT's plan was proposed, Zheng Jieming secretly gave Qiu Tongzhi 1,000 US dollars, and promised that as long as he did his best to help and make the merger successful, SAT would hire him as the general manager of SAT Machinery Company and give him an annual salary of no less than six figures. It is precisely because of this that Qiu Tongzhi did not go to Chen Zhongyang's door and was transferred from this bankrupt factory.

As soon as Guo Huaiqiu died, Qiu Tongzhi thought that the opportunity for merger might come again, and he ran to Chen Zhongyang's house in the middle of the night to hear what Chen Zhongyang meant. Chen Zhongyang has been a supporter of the merger plan from the beginning to the end. Chen Zhongyang looked at the problem from another angle, believing that after being merged by SAT, firstly, the problem of more than 2,000 workers in Pingchuan Machinery No. 1 Factory was solved; Secondly, the 28-story International Building was erected, and the economically underdeveloped Pingchuan had a landmark building, which was also good-looking in image; Third, the construction, management, and use of the International Building can solve the employment problem of at least 3,500 more people, which is beneficial in the long run.

However, if Guo Huaiqiu and Shu Hua didn't listen to Chen Zhongyang, and Yan Changqi, the deputy mayor in charge of the specific affairs, was a person outside the party, he could only listen to the secretary and the mayor......

Putting down the phone and looking at the more and more crowds gathering under the office building outside the window, Qiu Tongzhi fell into deep thought.

Now it seems that Chen Zhongyang, the old slippery head, doesn't need the card of the first mechanical factory, and the only person who really wants to use this card is probably only him, Qiu Tongzhi. Thinking that the workers were in a hurry, the new secretaries Wu Mingxiong and Chen Zhongyang might accept the SAT plan, so even if he did not work well, what was it if he was dismissed by the municipal party committee? As long as you can go to the future SAT Machinery Company to be the general manager of the United States, you can earn that six-figure annual salary. In case the two ends fail, they are not afraid, and in the end, there will always be Chen Zhongyang at the bottom. This old secretary has said a lot of inconsistencies about the affairs of Pingchuan Machinery No. 1 Factory, if he insists that Chen Zhongyang hints and supports him to manipulate the workers to make trouble for his personal political purposes, can he Chen Zhongyang say it clearly?
