Kuandian Boiler Factory is one of the key pillar enterprises in Kuandian City. Its flagship product, the Maple Leaf six-ton hot blast stove, is sold all over the country. Yan Ning once saw this kind of hot blast boiler specially designed for mining areas in the warehouse of Yulin Iron Mine.
Yulin is in the northeast and Kuandian is in the northwest. The difference between the two places is more than a thousand miles. It can be seen that Kuandian Maple Leaf Hot Air Stove has a certain status in the industry.
Yan Ning's visit to Kuandian Boiler Factory for investigation was not targeted or purposeful. It would be more appropriate to describe it as accidental or coincidental. Entering Kuandian City from the collapsed training center, Yan Ning listed the details of Kuandian Boiler Factory.
I took out the list of leading enterprises in Kuandian and thought about going to the Northwest Hetao Winery. But my car was stopped halfway through the journey and traffic control was imposed. A large number of employees of Kuandian Boiler Factory stopped work and production due to poor management of the enterprise, and their lives were miserable.
Then the road was blocked.
In the process of restructuring, state-owned enterprises have avoided many problems such as medical insurance and pensions. If the enterprise is strong in production, these problems can be easily dealt with. However, if the effect of enterprise restructuring is not obvious, the hidden contradictions will also continue to exist.
The outbreak broke out. Yan Ning went to industrial enterprises many times to conduct research in Shuangjiang. Although it could not fundamentally solve the shortcomings of the system, it also effectively alleviated the pressure and problems existing in all aspects. From the crowds of people in front of him, the people were angry.
Judging from the situation, Kuandian Boiler Plant obviously belongs to the type where restructuring failed and conflicts broke out together.
"At that time, the city promised us that as long as we restructured, production would be able to keep up, and wages, medical care, and everything else would be fine. But now the factory is in such a dilapidated state. You want us workers to eat and drink whatever you want, and these young people can still go to the university.
We can still make a living by working as coolies, but can an old man like us still do it? Everyone will grow old one day. Pat your conscience. If you reach my age, what feelings will you have in your heart? We serve the country
We have dedicated our lives, and when we get old, the country wants to kick us away. Is this really justified..."
Kuandian Boiler Factory itself is on Yan Ning's investigation list. It makes no difference to Yan Ning whether they go there first or last. He just joins in the fun and listens to the situation.
Go to the front line and get first-hand information. As soon as you passed through the crowd, you heard a fierce roar. Several old workers in their sixties surrounded the deputy mayor of Kuandian City, Jin Changhe, and yelled mercilessly.
"Teacher, the city also wants to revive the enterprise and solve the difficulties of our comrades. If we didn't have this idea, why would we take the risk to restructure? Now the national boiler market is in a slump and the products cannot be sold. This responsibility
You can't blame the city entirely. There is no way to stop production and layoffs. The city also has its own difficulties..." The spit spit sprayed on his face. The angry Mayor Jin's face was red with pain, but he still held back his anger.
, forced to do the ideological work of the workers in a pleasant manner, hoping to appease the worker representative in front of him, suppress the matter, and divert traffic.
"Bah, there are difficulties in the city. Are the difficulties in the city caused by ourselves? It has nothing to do with our workers. Mayor Jin, you are an old leader of the industrial front. Regarding the boiler factory, please say a few words to your conscience.
, do you really not know what the problem is? The city pushed Li Xinfeng, a second-rate man, to be the factory director. He is good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, but does he understand production and management? Is he the material to be the factory director?
?This good factory has been ruined by him, can’t you see? Forget it, I don’t understand these big principles. We can’t control whether Li Xinfeng is greedy or cowardly. We just know how to work and get paid.
, I know that the factory has to reimburse the medical expenses. Whoever wants us to have no food to eat, we will fuck him, no matter he is Li Xinfeng or Wang Xinfeng..."
The old worker's words resonated with all the workers on site, and there were endless shouts and curses. They all pointed at the boss of the boiler plant. Yan Ning searched around and saw several cadres standing next to Jin Changhe.
In response to the yelling and cursing of the old workers, all of them shrank their necks, obviously feeling guilty. It was obvious that these were the leaders of the boiler factory, but it was unclear which one was Li Xinfeng, the factory director who the old workers were naming and yelling at.
"Xiao Zhu, please accompany me into the factory to take a look. The Maple Leaf hot blast stove is a well-known brand in the country and is the leader in the hot blast stove industry. I heard about it when I was in Beijiang. It was working fine in the past few years. Why?
Now it has failed like this..." After standing in the crowd and listening for a while, Yan Ning got a general understanding of the situation. Although what these workers said made sense, the company was not operating well. The reasons included market, technology and so on.
, management and other factors, but simply blaming it on poor leadership is really a bit reluctant.
It was originally a mess where the public said the public was right and the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law was right. It was a mess. It was not easy to sort it out. There was no practical meaning in listening to it anymore. Yan Ning planned to quit and continue.
Went to the Hetao Winery to investigate. But just when Yan Ning was about to leave, workers at the site broke the news again, which made Yan Ning's heart sink again.
The trigger for the workers' mass gathering turned out to be the 30 million yuan in technical reform funds allocated to Kuandian Boiler Plant by the state. However, this fund was not used in technical reform, production management, or employee wages.
In terms of medical expenses, the money is gone. Except for a few leaders who are silent, other employees know nothing about it. And at this moment, the company management is going to suspend production for a holiday. Naturally, the workers can't accept this, so they make a fuss.
Get up.
At the beginning of the year, the State Economic and Trade Commission established a project and allocated 30 million yuan in technical renovation funds to Kuandian Boiler Factory. Yan Ning knew about this, and this amount was also within the scope of the audit working group. But Yan Ning wanted to
To find out Kuandian's family background and pave the way for the next step of reform, Yan Ninghe took it upon himself to expand the scope of Kuandian's audit infinitely, first administration, then business, then enterprise, first agriculture, then industry, and then commerce.
According to the work sequence that the working group members have studied together, it will not be the turn to audit the boiler plant for a while. However, the 30 million technical renovation funds have been issued, and now the money is gone. Everything has priorities. If
It's really step by step, I'm afraid this money will really be wasted.
Moreover, through the problems exposed in the boiler plant, Yan Ning is almost certain that this is a microcosm of the overall situation of Kuandian Industrial Enterprises. Management is chaotic, people are excited, and it is more complicated than he imagined. This is just one front exposed.
What about other fields? If you cannot fully grasp the actual situation and are divorced from objective reality, then the so-called plans and so-called plans you make are just words on paper and have no value at all.
More importantly, when national funds are transferred to provinces and localities, they must go through fiscal accounts. There are strict regulations and comprehensive supervision. Thirty million yuan in technical transformation funds is not a small amount. It will be gone if you say it is gone, but it is unrealistic.
Judging from the expressions on the faces of the leaders of the boiler factory, from Jin Changhe's silence and his evasive actions, it is estimated that they all know where the money is going, and they all know that there is a problem here, and it cannot be brought to the table.
The question is so deeply avoided, obviously because he does not want to touch this taboo and get into trouble.
In the Kuandian reform plan, whether it is to transform the transportation and highway network, to promote the adjustment of the agricultural industry structure, or to revitalize industrial enterprises, it is inseparable from the support of a large amount of capital, and there must be a large amount of capital inflow. Other situations
It is easy to say that with the ability of money to establish luck, everything can be implemented as long as it is executed well. But if there is a large corrupt group in Kuandian, they will rush in swarm when they see some money, and use their hands to peel off the skin layer by layer.
If it reaches the grassroots level, it will be trivial, but nothing will be accomplished. Yan Ning must pay close attention to this issue and find out the root cause of the problem.
"Director Yan, the boiler factory has stopped production. Except for the employees who have gone home, the rest are sitting on the street. The office building is also locked. Should we still leave..." Entering the yard of the factory area, there is no one left.
Sound. There are publicity boards, notice boards and honor rolls on both sides of a cement corridor, which seem to tell people about the company's past glory. At the end of the corridor is the company's administrative office building, but the door is locked at this time. Ding Haiyang's driver Xiao Zhu
I don't understand why Yan Ning suddenly asked to enter the factory to take a look. It was deserted and there was no one around, so there was nothing to see.
However, this is what Xiao Zhu thinks in his heart, but he dare not say it out loud. Yesterday, he saw with his own eyes how polite and respectful his boss was to Yan Ning. Even the deputy governor of the province has never seen him.
The boss was so condescending and so enthusiastic that he couldn't help himself. When he heard that Yan Ning wanted to use a car today, he sent his own car up without saying a word. The drivers were all close-fitting little cotton-padded jackets of the leader. Which one was lighter and which one was the most important?
Qing, Xiao Zhu still has this bit of vision.
"There's a workshop at the back. If you come here, let's take a walk..." Yan Ning answered noncommittally, and walked around the office building. If the courtyard in front can still tell the glory of the company, then
The courtyard where the production workshop is located at the back looks a bit dilapidated. There are overgrown weeds on both sides of the corridor. Piles of discarded iron materials covered with iron embroidery are thrown into the empty courtyard. There are long and crooked flowers in the flower beds at the end of the corridor.
There are a few unknown little flowers, but more of them are green weeds.
"Let's review it first and find out..." From Yan Ning's point of view, if the company can be overgrown and dilapidated like this, no matter what the reason is, the leader of the company is irresponsible. At least it can be explained.
The leaders of the company and even the employees do not regard the company as their own home, and perhaps they have never thought about revitalizing the company. From this point of view, the enterprise restructuring carried out in Kuandian City is unsuccessful. Improper employment may be
It is an unavoidable reason. But more importantly, there may be something Yan Ning is worried about, which Yan Ning cannot allow. In an instant, Yan Ning made up his mind to find out the true situation in Kuandian.
