Chapter 14
Wang Qinian parked his bicycle at the base of the wall and came to the factory gate. The employees gathered in groups of three or five at the factory gate, looking at the wreaths hanging on the door posts on both sides. Some were crying silently. The factory was so yellow that they had old men and young men, but how could they live in the future? Some were scolding. If the chairman was still in Liang Jiangping, he would have been killed, and some were staring blankly at the sky. Why did this country suddenly not recognize him in just seven or eight years?
When the workers saw Wang Qinian coming, they suddenly surrounded him. Everyone said in a verbal manner: "Lao Wang, you are a national model worker. You can represent our workers as the masters. Lao Wang reported to the top instead of everyone. Can this factory be bad? As long as the factory is there, even if the capital is not opened this year, it will be done."
"Yes, yes, even officials are unreliable. Liang Jiangping looked pretty good when he was not a Duan Chang. Why did he become a virtuous person when he became an official? He still has to rely on our own people."
Model worker, Wang Qinian thought about these two words in a daze. When Lao Meng was in office, Wang Qinian went to find him. He wanted him to give him more work so that more workers in the repair shop could work. In Wang Qinian's opinion, it is always a good thing to do more work, which is a requirement for positive progress. However, Wang Qinian just said the request and was turned away from Lao Meng's Duan Chief. In the words of Lao Meng, don't mention whether you can do your work well. The maintenance work you are taking now is divided by the Duanli Automobile Team and the vehicle team. Lao Wang, you also know that in recent years, the total salary of Duanli has been determined according to the number of annual maintenance vehicles. Now Duanli has distributed half of the salary of the originally belonged to the machining and vehicle inspections to you. Now Duanli is almost unable to suppress it. You are not satisfied with it. Don't always consider the interests of your own small groups and small groups when doing things, and take the overall situation into consideration.
Is it necessary for the factory to go bankrupt now? I just don’t know where the overall situation needs the factory to go bankrupt to protect it. Wang Qinian, who couldn’t figure it out, said helplessly to the workers surrounding him: “I went to find it when the old Director Meng was in office a few years ago. The Director of the Department said that the maintenance work that our factory took was all divided from the maintenance team and the vehicle team. This year, the department will implement a large contract, and the maintenance work cannot be given to the factory, so…”
"Why don't the state employees give us the maintenance work? They're all given to Duanli?"
"The factory is not from Duanli, it is clearly a branch that has forced it in. Duanli has been raising it for so many years, so it is considered to be a merciful and righteous person." When he said this, his family members are all national employees in Duanli. If Duanli can get rid of the overhaul factory, it is certain that he will complete the task this year. At that time, the salary and bonus of a national employee will be much more than those who are half dead and only receive the basic salary.
"Xiufen, you can't say that. Your old Tong belongs to the whole country, so of course you don't care." In a blink of an eye, the workers at the entrance of the factory were divided into two groups.
"It's not like raising a house. The factory manager is still a section chief. The contract contract has been closed for more than a week but I haven't seen anyone recommending it."
"It's not that no one recommends himself. The factory produces and repairs locomotives. Who else can I provide to the section, and who can I sell the locomotives produced to?"
Wang Qinian shook his head as he looked at the two gangs around him who were quarreling around him, and walked into the factory separated the crowd.
As usual, Wang Qinian cleaned up the clean ground and dust-free equipment. He suddenly heard the "bang" sound of the workshop door being knocked open. Gangzi ran in sweat and said, "Master, the factory is saved, and it is likely that it will not go bankrupt."
With a trembling hand, the rag fell on the ground. Wang Qinian stared at Gangzi without feeling that he was not aware of it and asked, "Where did the news come from? Who said it?"
"I don't know, Master, just go and have a look."
The master and apprentice trotted along the concrete road in the factory to the front of the factory. The square of hundreds of square meters in front of the factory was crowded with people. At first glance, the wreaths hung on both sides of the factory were still there in the morning, but each wreath was posted with an elegiac couplet on each wreath. The left side said: Life or death, and the right side said: It's all for you.
The onlookers were talking about the origin and meaning of the six huge black characters. Gangzi walked around the crowd, and after finding out what happened, he ran over to Wang Qinian and said, "Master, I heard from the three fat man who was heat treatment. When he entered the factory at 2 pm, he saw a few people hanging elegiac couplets on the wreath. The three fat man went up to ask what was going on. He didn't know the elegiac couplets, but he just said that someone arranged for them to come and hang them."
"Master, do you think this factory is not going bankrupt?" Gangzi asked with anticipation.
Wang Qinian looked at his apprentice who had just replaced his son and entered the factory. He didn't know what to say. The overhaul factory is not a factory that produces TVs, refrigerators, etc. The products are too niche and have no other functions except serving the railway department. He doesn't have any money to switch production. As long as he has a little brain, no one wants to contract. As for capital injection, it's even nonsense. Building a new factory is worry-free and money-saving than changing a major repair factory.
Before Wang Qinian could think about how to answer his apprentice, he heard the heat treatment workshop director Jin Zhengguang shouting: "Old Wang, you are here too, which made me go to the workshop in vain. Stop watching, leave, hurry up and go to Duanli for a meeting."
Wang Qinian had just had time to say and greet his apprentice and was pulled out of the crowd by Lao Jin. Wang Qinian noticed that many workshop directors and team leaders were pulled out of the crowd by people. As the crowd of people flowed into the auditorium, Wang Qinian asked curiously to inform himself of the meeting Lao Jin: "What's going on? I think the people who attended the meeting are all big and small leaders of the factory. Lao Jin, why are you pulling me to do?"
"Not only you, anyone who has had the title of a model worker, who has been in the party for more than 5 years or has worked for more than 10 years, will have to attend a meeting."
"Lao Jin, what's the matter?"
"I don't know either, but I guess someone might have to contract a major repair shop."
"Is Lao Jin really fake? Someone actually contracted the overhaul factory? Is it from another place?"
"I don't know the details, I guess the truth will be revealed after a while."
When the two of them came to the auditorium used for meetings in the section, most of them had arrived. The entire venue was crowded with people, and the buzzing sound of the crowd could be heard from a distance.
Wang Qinian and Lao Jin saw several familiar workshop directors gathered together and stepped over. After exchanging information, they still found nothing.
After a while, Duan Li's leaders, led by Liang Jiangping, walked up to the rostrum one after another. The buzzing sound below suddenly became louder. The employees of the overhaul factory in the front row of the auditorium asked loudly from time to time: Is there anyone who wants to contract or inject capital for the overhaul factory? Is the factory saved? Liang Jiangping just waved with a smile and did not answer.
A few minutes later, the technician of the electric service team tweaked the microphone, tried the test and nodded at Liang Jiangping.
Liang Jiangping picked up the microphone and tapped it with his hand. The auditorium suddenly became quiet. In the blink of an eye, the needles fell down. Liang Jiangping laughed and said, "It seems that everyone is still very concerned about the factory. I have never seen you hear it so honestly in meetings."
Hearing the scattered laughters below, Liang Jiangping continued, "There is a laugh, it's not bad. It seems that the comrades from the overhaul factory were not knocked down by difficulties, so they are still very optimistic."
Liang Jiangping paused and said, "Or you have found a way of wealth that Duanli doesn't know. You think you can kick Duanli away and eat alone immediately, so you can't help laughing."
The laughter suddenly became louder. Liang Jiangping paused for a while before continuing, "I have two news here, one good news and one bad news..." Before Liang Jiangping finished speaking, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded from below. Wang Qinian excitedly grabbed Lao Jin and said, "It seems that someone really wants to contract or invest in a factory, otherwise Director Duan would not say that." Lao Jin kept nodding.
Liang Jiangping just looked at the employees below to vent his long-depressed emotions. After a while, he knocked on the microphone. The silence in the auditorium returned to silence. Liang Jiangping smiled and said, "It seems that everyone has guessed that someone is planning to contract a major repair factory. The conditions have been almost the same as Duan Li. As long as the major repair factory has no objection, the contract can be signed."
The buzzing sound below became louder again. This time, Liang Jiangping didn't wait, and knocked on the microphone hard and said, "Don't be happy first, listen to me finish the bad news first."
"Although someone contracted the overhaul factory, it does not mean that the overhaul factory has not been separated from Duanli. In the future, the overhaul factory will be responsible for its own profits and losses and operate independently. Duanli will completely let go of everything you have. If the contract fails, the overhaul factory will still have only one way to go to bankruptcy. Moreover, due to cost reasons, from June, all locomotive maintenance and maintenance of all locomotives in the section will be the cargo team and vehicle team within the section, and the maintenance of the repair tasks will not be handed over to the overhaul factory."
Liang Jiangping ignored the slightly turbulent crowd below and said: "At the request of the contractor, before signing the contract agreement, the contractor will provide a new set of employee management regulations and issue them. Please be sure to read them carefully. Three days later, on June 1, Duanli will organize all employees of the overhaul factory to vote on whether the overhaul factory will implement this management regulations in the future. If the approval rate exceeds 90%, Duanli will sign a contract agreement with the contractor. If it is lower than 90%, Duanli will reject the contract agreement and the overhaul factory will officially enter the bankruptcy procedure."
"If the contract agreement can be signed, Duanli will establish a tertiary industry company. Employees who voted against the management regulations will be transferred to the tertiary industry company for standby work, and no living expenses will be paid during the standby period. However, if there is a need for employment in the future, the wait staff will be given priority."
Liang Jiangping took a few sips of water, looked at the quiet crowd below and continued: "Next, welcome to say a few words to Comrade Liang Haiping, who proposed to contract the overhaul factory in Duanli."
