"Reporter Li, you are right, the person who can come up with this kind of material is an insider, not an ordinary insider. How do ordinary insiders know that this project has cost more than 673,000 in ten years? Is the data so accurate? Therefore, I think I have to talk to you about it, not only to answer the three questions in this internal draft, but also to talk more deeply about how the flat rolling mill got to where it is today. From the preparation of the project to today's materials, I asked the relevant comrades to find out all the materials here, you can read them casually, and you can copy and take away what you need to write the article, and I will not keep it secret from you. ”

First of all, let's talk about the background of the Pingyang rolling mill, the first mention of this project was around 1988, when our provincial party secretary Comrade Liu Huabo was still the secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, and this project was mentioned in the last year of his tenure as secretary of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee. What was the situation in the country at that time? The economy is overheated, prices are soaring, especially the prices of some means of production are ridiculously high, and there is a shortage of everything, such as steel, electricity, and energy. Binh Duong was not a heavy industrial city in history, and there was a huge shortage of energy and steel. To solve the energy problem, a large thermal power plant was built. To solve the steel problem, I want to go to this large rolling mill. At that time, we built a Binh Duong steel plant with an annual output of 2 million tons, and we had the conditions to go to this rolling mill. Therefore, after several demonstrations, from the state to the province to Binh Duong, the three parties have the same understanding, and they all believe that from the overall industrial layout of Binh Duong and even the entire eastern region, this rolling mill can be used. At the end of 1988, Binh Duong Rolling Mill was officially listed as a national key project. The state ministries and commissions gave 300 million, the provincial special fund gave 150 million, and the Binh Duong local government originally said that it was also 300 million, but later it was added to 350 million. How much is that? Eight hundred million, right? One thing to keep in mind is that these 800 million yuan are not in place all at once, and you reporters may not be very clear about economic construction, and there has never been such a thing as being in place at one time, that is, a special project under your name, and you have to go to Beijing and the provincial capital all at once with a little bit, not to mention this.

"Let's talk about the introduction of equipment. By the time the equipment introduction negotiations were put into place, it was already the end of 1989. What happened in 1989? A political storm. The big company that was originally negotiated stopped talking to us because of the sanctions policy of their country. AAT Steel took the opportunity to send out the invitation. Now we know that AAT is a small and medium-sized company with a bad reputation, but I didn't know it at that time, at least I didn't know, I was the deputy mayor in charge of industry at that time, and the commander-in-chief of the preparation was only in name, and Comrade He Zhuoxiao was responsible for the specific work. What's worse is that as soon as we came into contact with AAT, we didn't calculate the economic accounts, but first calculated the political accounts, saying that we broke the economic blockade of others and achieved great results, which was also reported in the newspapers at the time. As soon as the economic problem became a political problem, it was troublesome, and a leader in charge of a national ministry made a statement: the cooperation with AAT must be successful. What else is there to say, just do everything possible to run on the road to success! ”

Wasn't this big deal funded by three parties at the beginning, so there were also three commanders-in-chief, in addition to me, there were also Director Chen of the Provincial Metallurgical Department and Deputy Director Wang of the national ministries and commissions. We in Binh Duong are mainly responsible for infrastructure construction, and the introduction and inspection of equipment is in charge of Deputy Director Wang and some comrades in Beijing. Several times to the AAT company, Deputy Director Wang led the team, Comrade He Zhuoxiao followed twice, once by Deputy Director Wang to the Indian jungle, and once was the signing ceremony. I was a little worried at the time, but I didn't dare to say that He Zhuoxiao and I were not experts in steel rolling equipment, and Deputy Director Wang was an expert, so I had no right to speak. Okay, AAT was dragged first, then lai, and one-third of the equipment that came in could not be used. This is the result of settling political accounts. Fortunately, at this time, we were sober-minded, and the economic accounts could not be counted, so we started an international lawsuit. The lawsuit lasted for five years, and it was not until March last year that it was finally concluded. In the past five years, Deputy Director Wang has been glorious again, and he has run abroad again and again, fighting lawsuits, and important work! I don't know if it's a tragedy or a comedy, the lawsuit is not over, Deputy Director Wang had a car accident on Interstate 10 in the United States, and his entourage died a 'heroic death'! Alas, what do you think Deputy Director Wang is doing on Highway 10 in the United States? AAT and the Court of Appeal are not in the United States! Upward reflection? Reporter Li, you said it easily, do we dare! Don't ask them to approve projects in the future? As a result, the direct and indirect economic losses caused were very large, the construction period was repeatedly delayed, coupled with factors such as rising prices, the earlier budget was broken again and again, and the increase was made again and again. From the initial 800 million, to 980 million, and then to today's 1.2 billion, we have added 200 million in Binh Duong alone, becoming the biggest unlucky egg! Fortunately, Comrade Jiang Chaolin and the comrades in Pingyang understand very well, and the economic situation in Pingyang has always been relatively good, so we can smoothly increase the two hundred million yuan.

Inspection, spending money, these good things, everyone is vying for it, and they all think that it is their natural right. Be responsible, you can't find the Lord. Deputy Director Wang 'sacrificed', no one inherited his will, and a mess was left in Pingyang. Reporter Li, tell me, what should I do? Is this mess thrown in Pingyang, or in the provincial capital, in Beijing! Besides, I didn't know that I would encounter this situation, and I said a lot of things, so I had to bite the bullet. I swallowed my anger and cleaned up this mess, and said good things to the province and the bureaucrats in Beijing again and again for the supplementary budgets and timely appropriations of funds for the state ministries and commissions and the provinces. Reporter Li, don't you know, a section chief and a section chief can teach me a lesson, the mayor, and I won't tell you that once when I returned to the guest house, I smashed the glass window, and people thought I was crazy! That's not all, we spent money once we went, worked for the welfare of those departments that had the power to manage us, and invited those section chiefs and division chiefs to drink again and again, so we spent more than 673,000 in ten years! Some people say, if he is distressed, am I not distressed? My heart is bleeding! Reporter Li, now, you can check the list I provided you to see if you can finally implement the more than 673,000? I tell you, there will be more, not less! Oh, I didn't cry, it was a little gray in my eyes, the old documents from the past, the ash is too big!

"Of course, you can make a copy of the list, and I will ask Secretary General Tian to make a copy of it for you. Okay, I'll go on. I am the mayor, and I have the name of the commander-in-chief, although I am angry, I still have to take into account the overall situation, not only can I not talk about these things to the outside world, but I also can't let others say them. If you say that it will affect the image of our country's reform and opening up, it will offend many people. Reporter Li, here I can reveal to you that the leader in charge of the state ministries and commissions who settled the political accounts back then is now the governor of our province, and he is a female comrade, yes, Comrade Chen Honghe. Therefore, Secretary Jiang Chaolin repeatedly told me: Comrade Chunming, let's just bear the humiliation, don't say anything, just live and die to get the flat rolling mill up, and just have a clear conscience. At the beginning of this year, we finally built the rolling mill, but the market opportunity was lost, the steel market was in full depression, and we lost money as soon as we produced, who dared to start production? Therefore, after two months of trial production, it was stopped again, and it has been stopped until today. Reporter Li, as you may know, one of the most difficult industries in our country at present is steel, and almost the entire industry is generally losing money. ”

As for the workers' fund-raising, the situation is as follows: At the beginning, I did not advocate fund-raising at all, and the key projects invested by the state, the out-and-out state-owned large-scale steel rolling enterprises, were not short of those millions when they first started, so what should I do with the funds? Aren't you asking for trouble? But later, I saw that it was really not good not to collect some money, and I was optimistic about this flat rolling mill, and I thought of the country in this reliable big iron pot, and the enthusiasm was so high that you couldn't stand it. At this time, He Zhuoxiao, the director of the factory, proposed that he collect some money, which can be called risk collateral in the name, so he collected millions of dollars for 3,000 or 5,000. Yes, it's 4.32 million, and I also have an account here. Just as I didn't think that 1.2 billion would be thrown into the water, the comrades workers did not expect that the big business of the state would be unreliable, and the big pot of rice would burn your mouth. Since last year, some people have raised the issue of returning the funds raised, and I heard that there is also a spontaneously set up leading group for the removal of funds in private, and I have looked for it several times in the city. My opinion is: this money cannot be refunded now, at least the way out of the rolling mill can not be refunded before it is found, it is a risk collateral, and it is necessary to share the risk with the country, so that everyone has a little risk awareness, don't think that this big pot of rice is so delicious. Of course, reporter Li, we will also consider your opinions, it is not easy for the worker comrades, but how to solve this matter, I personally do not count, our municipal party committee and city ** still have to discuss carefully. Here, I have a preliminary idea: first, after the flat rolling mill finds a way out, it will be refunded with interest at one time; 2. Those who are willing to leave their jobs immediately can pay in a lump sum when they go through the resignation procedures.

"That's basically the situation, I didn't want to say it, but if you don't say it, people want to say it, you can't bear the humiliation if you want to, then you have to take it seriously. Does this mean that we don't care about the overall situation? Neither is it. Today is not the past after all, the old system that caused the predicament of the flat rolling mill is being broken, the central government is very determined, so many ministries and commissions have been merged, the functions are different from the past, and the province is also moving. Then, in this context, it is also a good thing for us to summarize the lessons of the flat rolling mill, at least to provide you with some in-depth thinking. Okay, reporter Li, since you also have this understanding, then you can come to 'shoulder morality with iron shoulders and write articles with clever hands', and you can send them to me to see the articles you have written, but you can also show them if you don't send them to me, and you will be responsible ......for the facts."
