Chapter 27: Donghua’S Tan Water Is Very Deep
Xiong Wenbin’s two-bedroom room is very small. The living room is covered with a large round table, so it is almost impossible to stand up. Three people stand in the kitchen at the same time, and it is difficult to even turn around.
Shen Huai invited Zhou Ming, Zhao Dong, Yang Haipeng and Xiong Wenbin to sit and chat in the room next to him, leaving it to the women to prepare dinner.
“Have Section Chief Zhao thought about leaving the city steel mill?” Shen Huai asked, “Donghua still has several steel plants, including township enterprises and private enterprises. I think they all need to understand technology like Section Chief Zhao. People who understand management.”
Zhao Dong didn’t know where Shen Huai heard that he knew both technology and management, but Shen Huai felt cordial when he said so; everyone was willing to listen to good words.
“There are still several iron and steel companies in the townships below Donghua, but their profits have declined significantly in the past two years. Private companies are better, but to put it bluntly, they are family businesses. How can senior managers use outsiders?” Zhao Dong Not without pessimism, he said, “Maybe people’s incomes will be a little higher in the past, but it’s also a little bit higher.”
Shen Huai fully discussed this issue with Zhao Dong when he was in the city steel mill. He knew exactly what Zhao Dong was thinking, but as a ‘stranger” at this time, he still needed to bring this topic up and convince Zhao Dong. Dong abandoned previous ideas.
Xiong Wenbin saw that Shen Huai brought the topic to this, which further confirmed his guess. Seeing that Zhao Dong was not enlightened, he helped clarify the meaning: “Secretary Shen is talking about Meixi Iron and Steel Plant?”
When Xiong Wenbin said this, Zhao Dong’s eyes lit up. Shen Huai said he was going to take a post in Meixi Town, but at this time he encouraged himself to resign, so he didn’t think of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant.
But thinking about the current situation of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, Zhao Dong couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and said, “Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is still better than an unlisted steel plant. In the past few years, when the township enterprises were launched, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant relied on bank loans to The production capacity can reach 100,000 tons, which is also unique in the large and small township enterprises in Donghua. But in fact, there is no technology, no talent, and the management is still chaotic. In the production of main products, aluminum alloy windows have been gradually provided in recent years. And the steel windows that have been eliminated from plastic steel windows, I don’t know if they can survive for another two years.”
The people in the house are all from the city’s steel mills, and they are very clear about the current situation of the steel industry in Donghua City.
Xiong Wenbin could guess that Shen Huai had a purpose in mentioning this matter, but it was difficult to talk to him for a while, and some words had to be explained by Shen Huai, otherwise he would just guess.
Yang Haipeng and Zhou Ming knew that what Zhao Dong said was the truth. Yang Haipeng spoke directly and said, “Secretary Shen is going to work in Meixi, but Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is definitely a **** hole, so don’t jump into it easily…”
Zhou Ming gently pulled Yang Haipeng from behind, reminding him not to talk nonsense.
He saw that Shen Huai was very young, and even if he was hit and went to work in Meixi Town, he might be full of pride and ambition.
Not only did it say that Zhou Dazui was beaten at the city steel factory, and he just smashed the flowerpot, it also showed that he was a frivolous and flamboyant character. Zhou Ming thought that he wanted to go to Meixi Town for a big career. Yang Haipeng was so Splashing cold water directly will definitely make him unhappy.
Yang Haipeng’s words may sound unpleasant, but he didn’t have any bad intentions, and it was a sincere good intention; Shen Huai was familiar with Yang Haipeng’s character, but just smiled, turning a blind eye to Zhou Ming’s small actions of pulling Yang Haipeng.
He was born and raised in Meixi Town, how could he not understand the complicated situation involved in Meixi Iron and Steel Plant? To be honest, if it wasn’t for the support of Tan Qiping behind him, he really wouldn’t dare to go into this muddy water. Zhao Dong stood in his position and declined his solicitation, because he did have his consideration.
Donghua’s father, Gao Tianhe, was worried about Chen Mingde’s involvement in the city’s steel mill, so he would make a fuss about the cause of Chen Mingde’s death. Shen Huai won’t touch the city steel mill for the time being, but he can’t even settle for a township enterprise, so he doesn’t need to work in Donghua anymore.
However, Shen Huai could not wait for Tan Qiping to go to Donghua to take office before starting work. Some preparatory work must be carried out in the early stage.
At this time, local forces such as Gao Tianhe and Wu Haifeng were still relaxing their vigilance. It was easier for him to do anything at this time. Even Gao Tianhe and Wu Haifeng would condone him to do these tricks, just waiting to see his good show.
Shen Huai stood leaning against the writing desk, looking at Xiong Wenbin, Zhao Dong, Yang Haipeng, and Zhou Ming in the room, hesitating whether to reveal the truth to them first, fearing that they would not be serious.
“I think you should come out. The two of us will fight the world together. We will directly make steel, but I don’t believe that we can’t make it.” Seeing Shen Huai’s silence, Yang Haipeng thought he had retreated. on his shoulders, and said, “As long as you can make a big order, your dowry gift for marrying Xiao Mingxia will be guaranteed.”
“Donghua’s steel sales are all occupied by Gao Xiaohu. Who has nothing to do, and is not afraid that people will burn the house in the middle of the night?” Zhao Dong heard Yang Haipeng’s idea, and he was even more discouraged, and he did not dare to mix with him. Steel trade.
Shen Huai laughed, Donghua’s water was too deep, and some of his actions were very blatant.
Gao Xiaohu is the son of the mayor Gao Tianhe, and he is also the one that Shen Huai knows the most about Donghua’s sons and daughters, because Gao Xiaohu directly occupies the external sales channels of the city’s steel mills.
From the mid-to-late 1980s, the domestic commodity market implemented a dual-track price system.
Some of the steel produced by the municipal steel plant is sold to demand units at the price specified by the Planning Commission and other relevant departments, and some can be flexibly priced according to the market demand, and the sales can be organized by themselves.
In recent years, the scale of domestic construction has been large, and materials are relatively scarce. Zhizheng has to flexibly set prices according to market demand, which is much higher than the planned price.
Therefore, the price difference between the inside and outside of the index has become the fat meat for everyone to show their magical powers. Reselling steel and other scarce materials has become a means for a small group of people to get rich early.
After Xiong Wenbin called out the municipal steel mill, the sales of steel produced by the municipal steel mill outside the planned target accounted for a considerable proportion, and Gao Xiaohu and others were given single-hand control.
Gao Xiaohu bought the steel from the city steel mill at the planned price, and it could not be said that he violated the law; when he got the steel and sold it in the market at the market price, it could not be said that he violated the law. Unplanned production targets, which were originally the biggest source of profit for the city’s steel mills, have now become fat in the mouths of a few people.
The employees of the city steel mill hated Gao Xiaohu thoroughly, but there was nothing he could do. Gao Xiaohu is the son of the mayor Gao Tianhe, and the management of the city’s steel mill is mostly a close friend of Gao Tianhe, and he also makes a lot of money in it.
For this alone, the municipal steel mills leak tens of millions of profits every year. Coupled with the chaotic management and the suppression of technical management talents such as Zhao Dong, how can the municipal steel mills not decline?
Although the current steel market prices are further liberalized, the steel trade in Donghua City has almost become a monopoly. Without enough background and strength, whoever dares to intervene in this area will wait for the black hands behind it, and it is not difficult to imagine that the family will be destroyed.
Yang Haipeng opened a building materials store by making small noises, and there would be no problem, but if he wanted to grow bigger, he absolutely needed a backer who could compete with Gao Xiaohu and others. How could Zhao Dong dare to join Yang Haipeng casually?
Zhao Dong not only persuaded Yang Haipeng not to engage in the steel trade, but after Yang Haipeng said it, he also felt the need to remind Shen Huai again: “Secretary Shen has some knowledge about the city’s steel mills, but the situation at the Meixi Iron and Steel Works is much better. It’s a bit more complicated. Director Xiong and I don’t even think that Meixi Steel Plant can last for two years. The goal of the city steel plant is too obvious. After all, it is the largest state-owned enterprise in Donghua. Hit the city steel factory. The goal of the Meixi Iron and Steel Factory is much smaller, and it is a collective enterprise. Some people want to make the Meixi Iron and Steel Factory half-dead, and then eat it without even spitting out the bones…”
“By the way,” Shen Huai changed the subject and asked Xiong Wenbin, “Director Xiong heard any rumors in the city today?”
“Today, the city held a meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss new personnel transfers,” Xiong Wenbin is a veteran in Donghua City, and it is easy to inquire about the content of the discussion at the city’s Standing Committee meeting, “Secretary Wu suggested that Zhou Yu Tiao went to Tangzha to be the deputy secretary of the district party committee, and Mayor Gao recommended Ge Yongqiu to go to Xiapu to serve as the county party secretary, which in itself is the best of both worlds, but I heard that the discussion was a little unpleasant…”
Zhao Dong, Yang Haipeng, and Zhou Ming were all a little strange. In the past, Xiong Wenbin would not tell these unconfirmed gossip in front of them, but he made an exception for what Shen Huai said.
“Ge Yongqiu went to Xiapu to serve as the secretary of the county party committee, wouldn’t it be aimed at Secretary Shen?” Yang Haipeng blurted out subconsciously.
Shen Huai scratched the back of his head, thinking that Wu Haifeng and Gao Tianhe were really quick to start, he just smiled at Yang Haipeng’s question and said, “I’m going to Meixi Town, at most I’ll be the deputy secretary of the town party committee. To use the mountain of the county party secretary to press me down, that’s too much for me…”
Zhao Dong was also worried. Although the contact time was very short, he had no prejudice against Shen Huai before. After two or three short contacts, he was very fond of him.
He also guessed that although Shen Huai had the rank of Zhengke, but after all, he was too young to hold a full-time position in Meixi Town. The deputy secretary plus Zhengke’s treatment was the most reasonable arrangement. But as long as Shen Huai made achievements, it would be easy to become a regular, and that’s why he was even more worried that Shen Huai would be eager to achieve results after he went to Meixi Town.
Xiong Wenbin saw that Shen Huai didn’t tell the truth, and Zhao Dong didn’t have enough confidence, so he didn’t have enough courage.
The situation in the past two or three years also caused him to lose some patience. Xiong Wenbin saw that Shen Huai was dismissive of the personnel discussions at the Municipal Standing Committee meeting today, and more and more confirmed his speculation, and said to Yang Haipeng and Zhou Ming, “You two, go see dinner. Are you ready?”
Zhou Ming felt dissatisfied that his father-in-law drove him and Yang Haipeng away first, but he didn’t say anything and went out first.
