"Next year, '98, there will definitely be a large-scale institutional reshuffle."

Those who can sit in this room are absolutely their own people, so Ding Gaoheng is also straight to the point, without any nonsense:

"Although the specific reform methods of the various military industrial groups have not yet been determined, the administrative functions of state-owned enterprises will certainly be withdrawn, so what can be determined at present is that our Science, Technology and Industry Commission will be reorganized, and the administrative functions of the State Development Planning Commission's National Defense Department, various military industrial units, and the functions of managing some military-to-civilian enterprises will all be brought under the new Science, Technology and Industry Commission after the reorganization."

When the news came out, the originally tense atmosphere in the entire conference room was naturally relaxed.

Although the units at the level of various ministries and commissions are the same on paper, in practice they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Even people who are really out of low-level fun always need a platform to realize their ideals.

What's more, most people aren't that otherworldly.

Therefore, everyone wants to have more authority in their hands.

Of course, the Chinese people pay attention to a restrained, so this kind of thing is not easy to celebrate publicly, even if it is a small meeting like this, everyone just applauds with joy on their faces.

Still, someone soon discovered that something was not quite right.

"Director, although the management of military-to-civilian enterprises was nominally responsible for each unit in the past, in fact, we were originally concentrated and docked with the Ministry of Machinery Industry, so it shouldn't change much, right?"

It was the Chief of Staff who spoke.

Of course, not all department-level leaders can participate in today's meeting, he is mainly the chief economist of the Science and Technology Commission, as well as members of the leadership team.

He is mainly responsible for the conversion of military to civilian affairs, so he asked this question.

"That's the second thing I'm going to say."

Ding Gaoheng knocked lightly on the tabletop, and the room suddenly fell silent:

"Judging from the wind blowing above, it is inevitable to further open the market, and the confidence of the higher authorities in joining the World Trade Organization is also very strong.

Revoke ......

Compared to the first news, the second news is obviously not so happy for everyone.

Because it is impossible for the defense industry to exist separately from the overall industry of the country.

These two units are almost the departments at the same level that are the most connected with the Surgical Working Committee except for the State Science and Technology Commission, and now they suddenly say that they are going to be gone, which still makes people feel a little complicated.

On the other hand, in 1987, an attempt was made to abolish the Ministry of Machinery Industry, and as a result, many industrial fields that could barely keep up with it lost investment and protection, and the impact was very bad.

So it was added back in 1993.

"Isn't the current Ministry of Machinery Industry ...... Did you decide to rebuild it yourself, why did you cancel it again? ”

Most people are still confused about this.

"There is no way, these institutions are related to the degree of market openness, and some people are using the WTO accession negotiations to put pressure on us...... Including the Planning Commission, it will also be renamed the Development Planning Commission, to be honest, it is not easy to keep our Science and Technology Commission......

Ding Gaoheng shook his head lightly, and his words explained everyone's doubts:

"The problem now is that the superiors also know that industrial development cannot be without a co-ordinating unit, so ......"

His gaze swept over the crowd sitting in front of him:

"The State Economic and Trade Commission has set up a metallurgical industry bureau to assume some of the functions of the current Ministry of Metallurgical Industry."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes focused on Chang Haonan almost immediately.

The latter also immediately understood why such a meeting, which seemed to be of an internal nature, had to pull himself over.

After all, he had inadvertently mentioned it before, hoping to set up a department in charge of the equipment manufacturing industry under the Commission of Science and Technology, which was responsible for key projects such as heavy-duty die forging presses that need to be promoted by concentrating national forces.

At least Ding Gaoheng, as well as several deputy directors, should have heard of it.

Even if everyone didn't pay much attention to it at the time, it should be remembered by this time.

"I remember, Xiao Chang seemed to have said before, our Science and Technology Commission can ......"

Zhang Dongxu, another deputy director sitting opposite Huai Guomo, was the first to speak, and halfway through speaking, he looked at Ding Gaoheng, who was sitting in the first place, and after the latter nodded, he briefly described Chang Haonan's thoughts at that time, and then confirmed to Chang Haonan:

"Is that so, Comrade Haonan?"

Lan Xinzhi, who was still taking notes next to him just now, had already closed the meeting minutes with great insight.

In this kind of meeting, of course, all the content must be written, but the specific ones should be recorded as they are, and which ones should be handled flexibly, which is the time to test the level of the secretary.

Obviously, he's always done well in this area.

Chang Haonan nodded:

"Actually, I didn't think about it so long-term at that time, just because I talked to Comrade Yan Yongnian, oh, an old professor of Qinghua University, a student of Shen Hongshen, and when I discussed the heavy-duty die forging press with him, I felt that it would be more convenient to have a unit in this area."

It's not that he's modest here, it's just that it's inconvenient for him to show too outrageous foresight at this time—

What Ding Gaoheng didn't know, you knew it months in advance, how unreasonable is this.

And even if he said that, it was amazing enough.

"I'm a little ashamed......"

The third vice minister, Shen Junrong, put down the teacup in his hand:

"When I first heard this idea, my first thought was that the little comrades would integrate quickly, and I knew that I would help our Science and Technology Commission fight for power and profit...... Now it seems that it is still narrow-minded......"

Chang Haonan saw that the situation had developed rapidly in an uncontrollable direction, and hurriedly answered:

"Thank you for the praise of your seniors and leaders, but if you continue to praise, I'm afraid that I will float up......"

The conference room was filled with a cheerful air.

"Hahaha, if you can say this, it means that you can't float."

Although Zhang Dongxu said this, he still didn't continue.

After a brief moment of relaxation, the discussion quickly got to the point.

"No matter what we thought of Comrade Xiao Chang's suggestion before, we must think seriously about it now."

Ding Gaoheng motioned for Lan Xinzhi to start recording again, and then continued:

"The functions of the former Ministry of Machinery Industry are very complicated, whether it is the Americans, or those who advocate abolishing it, they are not fools, and we cannot completely take a department-level unit to wrap it down, so how to build this new department, what to manage, and what to give up, is a key point."

The Ministry of Machinery Industry is the largest ministry in Chinese history, and even after the reorganization, it is a behemoth, larger than the entire Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

"Xiao Chang, tell me what you think?"

Everyone's eyes once again turned to Chang Haonan.

He first came up with the idea, so I have to listen to my opinion.

Lan Xinzhi's hands were shaking when he wrote the names of the speakers.

In this record book, except for the recording personnel, that is, himself, there has never been a name below the department or bureau level before.

And Chang Haonan had been working on the draft for a long time before this, and replied almost immediately:

"Chiefs, I think it must be to grasp the big and let go of the small, the former Ministry of Machinery Industry that everything has to be planned as a whole, we can't have so many people, and it may not meet the requirements of the new era, so as long as it can affect the development of the country's key equipment and areas to manage it, so that a lot of technological development can be driven by a point."

"As for the name of the new department, why don't you call it the Equipment Industry Division?"

Chang Haonan finished speaking his thoughts and looked at the group of bigwigs next to him.

When a leader really wants to hear the opinions of his subordinates, he will definitely not be the first to express his position.

So Ding Gaoheng remained silent.

"Department of Equipment Industry...... It's good, it sounds like it has something to do with the military industry. ”

Zhang Dongxu nodded first.

Of course, if you say you agree with the naming, you actually show that you support the whole idea.

He was born in the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and he had a good impression of Chang Haonan in the process of working on jamming equipment with 14 institutes, as well as in the process of setting up early warning aircraft later.

"yes, it's just that we're not weapons and equipment, but heavy manufacturing equipment, play word games with them......"

The chief of staff also followed suit, and multiple departments would only be a good thing for him, so it was naturally impossible to object:

"In addition, I suggest that the universities under the former Ministry of Machinery Industry can also be included?"

When the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry was transformed into Huaxia Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and placed under the management of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, no one cared too much about this matter, until Shanghai Jiaotong University was assigned to the Ministry of Education, and everyone remembered to regret it......

"This ...... Maybe it's not right, at least not all of them. ”

Huai Guomo, who had never spoken just now, shook his head:

"Our Equipment Industry Division is not at least nominally inheriting the original Ministry of Machinery Industry, and it is just a little duplication of functions, if even the school is included, it will not be performed......"

"You can consider Luzhou University of Technology, isn't the aviation industrial park going to be placed in Luzhou in the future, how can there be a school belonging to our Science and Technology Industry Commission to provide supporting facilities?"

Chang Haonan remembered the report he wrote a few days ago.

"But it's better to have Xiang Provincial University, right?"

Differing opinions were soon raised.

"Didn't you say that you should keep a low profile, after all, you are still negotiating WTO accession, and you must always give a little ...... to the WTO's face."

Someone explained.

"By the way, I remember that there is no Yanshan University? subordinate to the Ministry of Machinery Industry. ”

"What university is Yan?"

"Yanshan University."

"What Hill University?"

“……”

Obviously, the presence of this school is not very strong.

Lan Xinzhi closed the notebook in his hand again.

This kind of bargaining scene like buying vegetables in the vegetable market still has to be protected.
