Chapter 55: Whole? (2) Do Things With A Team
(Second, ask for a red ticket, ask for a collection)
Shen Huai asked Xu Xiting again: “Yesterday there was a worker named Hu Zhigang who was very active. What does Xugong think of him?”
“Oh, it’s the backbone of the electric furnace steel workshop and the deputy team leader of the slab continuous casting section.” Xu Xiting was worried that Shen Huai was not familiar with the technical terms of the steel industry. Shen Huai just nodded and asked him to continue.
“Although Hu Zhigang graduated from technical secondary school, he is a person who is very willing to use his brain to do things, but he is too aggressive, and he does not get along well with the management in the workshop, otherwise he will not directly be the team leader of the continuous casting section. What a big problem.” Xu Xiting cautiously commented on Hu Zhigang, without saying too much.
In order to rectify production, in the end, there must be someone who can use it. There are not many left by the previous management, and most of them have to be replaced. At this time, what Shen Huai lacks most is people, and there is a lack of capable and aggressive people. .
Xu Xiting’s evaluation of Hu Zhigang, Shen Huai can naturally hear the subtext, but he never thinks that aggressive employees who are not liked by leaders are really bad.
An employee like Hu Zhigang is exactly the catfish that Shen Huai needs, who can stir the water, and is willing to use his brain.
With a technical secondary school education in 1993, he was able to hold a position equivalent to the deputy head of the city’s steel factory workshop by his own abilities, which shows that the level of all aspects is above the standard; he took the lead in causing trouble yesterday, which shows that he has prestige among ordinary workers; Not enough, it can be strengthened in the future.
As for Xu Xiting’s dislike of Hu Zhigang, Shen Huai didn’t care.
Xu Xiting is forty-five years old this year, a college student who graduated from Huaihai University of Mining and Technology in the mid-1960s.
Others are thin and small, and they look unremarkable. They were criticized for mistakes in the 1970s, and their temperament is conservative and cautious. He obviously doesn’t like young people who are too aggressive and sharp-edged. Shen Huai thought to himself: Maybe Xu Xiting doesn’t agree with what he did yesterday?
Hu Zhigang soon came to the factory with a set of clean work clothes and a safety helmet. There were a group of big men. Shen Huai put on the work clothes directly in the conference room, feeling a little fat.
Shen Huai was as tall as Hu Zhigang, but not as burly as Hu Zhigang. He put on his helmet and said to Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong:
“Let’s go directly to the factory area and talk while watching.”
Shen Huai said to Hu Zhigang who was leaving,
“At present, I want to select one or two outstanding young workers from the two workshops and departments of the steel plant to serve as my special assistant temporarily. XCMG just mentioned the electric furnace steel workshop and recommended you. Would you like to serve as my special assistant? special assistant? Of course, this is only a temporary position, and there will be no extra salary.”
Hu Zhigang couldn’t understand what a ‘special assistant” was for a while, but after thinking about it, he knew that ‘special assistant to the factory manager”, even if it was temporary, even if there was no extra salary, it could not be a bad assignment.
There are three main production lines in the whole factory, with a total of 500 front-line workers. There are only three to six special assistants, which can be said to be as scarce as the workshop director.
Hu Zhigang took the lead and led the team to make troubles. It was dissatisfaction and anger at the status quo of the steel mill, but it did not mean that he was unwilling to participate in and change the status quo of the steel mill.
Yesterday, after hearing Shen Huai’s inspiring words and directing his generals, Hu Zhigang was also excited. He didn’t sleep well for a long time. He didn’t expect to get to the factory early this morning, and when he met Shen Huai, he immediately got such an important opportunity. The early bird catches the worm, so naturally he hastily nodded and agreed.
“Okay, then we’ll go directly to the electric furnace steel workshop…” Shen Huai said.
Shen Huai couldn’t immediately kick all the management away, and he couldn’t hurriedly convene a staff meeting before he knew the details of the steel mill, so the existing management had to use it temporarily.
However, in order to ensure that the existing management does not secretly stumble or give him a deliberately passive sabotage, Shen Huai intends to select a group of outstanding employees who are prestige, capable and aggressive among the staff and cadres from the grassroots and various departments. A temporary quasi-management team composed of ‘special assistant to the factory manager” is formed to ensure the smooth operation of the steel mill during the transition period, and to prepare for the formation of the new management team.
On the way to the production area, Shen Huai communicated his ideas with Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong:
“I will directly lead this temporary special assistant team, but I want XCMG to check for me, and Zhao Dong to play a central role in it – I will have someone prepare a dormitory for the two of you in the dormitory building. During this time, I want the two of you to be nailed like nails in the factory. If Mrs.-in-law and Mingxia have any opinion on this, please say hello for me…”
Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong both smiled.
Hu Zhigang followed behind, and his blood boiled when he heard it.
It is obviously unrealistic to say that it is not realistic to drag the management team to the staff meeting by fighting in the arena. What role will the upcoming temporary special assistant team play, and how important it is to those who can join this team, Hu Zhigang can already fully understand it by this time…
Shen Huai said to Zhao Dong again: “City Steel Factory, you recommend those two engineers. If they don’t change their minds, you invite them to come over to XCMG for an interview. If there are no problems, just start with the special assistant and touch it first. The foundation of the steel mill. The personnel who are willing to come to work in Meixi from other municipal steel mills are indeed capable and skilled, and there is no way they can be put into important positions all at once, but I can promise to work in the municipal steel mill for their salary. doubled on the basis of…”
Zhao Dong smiled and said, “Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng were a little hesitant before, but after knowing what happened yesterday, they even touched my door and met Xugong…”
“Xugong has already met with them,” Shen Huai asked Zhao Dong’s recommendation of Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng, but he couldn’t appear to be familiar with them. He pretended to respect Xu Xiting and asked, “Xugong thinks that Can they win the role of special assistant…”
“They are all college students brought out by Xiong Wenbin when he was the director of the factory. They have the ability and level, and they are also the backbone of the grassroots steel factory in the city.” Although Xu Xiting did not know why Shen Huai trusted Zhao Dong so much, he had to admit that Shen Huai had such confidence in Zhao Dong. Huai picks people very accurately. Including Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng are the most potential talents at the grassroots level of the municipal steel mill. It is a pity that they cannot be reused in the municipal steel mill.
“Xugong approves, that’s fine,” Shen Huai turned around and instructed Zhao Dong, “You will tell them both to come to the factory office to see me directly…”
Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao, Pan Cheng and others, as college students in China for 80 years, have skills, understand management, and have rich grass-roots experience, but they are not reused in the city’s steel mills. principle, no compromise.
In society, these people can be said to be not smooth enough, not humane and worldly.
However, a large modern enterprise is really suitable for production management, and only these people are persistent and uncompromising in character.
Only such a person can manage meticulously and truly create valuable contributions to the enterprise.
Now the overall environment of Donghua City is not good, making it difficult for these talents to come forward, and there are no employment channels such as foreign investment or joint ventures with high management level for them to flow in – this is also good, Shen Huai thought of pulling them to Meixi, The resistance can be smaller, otherwise, with a broken factory like Meixi, why would you invite first-class talents in?
It was also at this moment that Xu Xiting had a deeper understanding of Shen Huai’s decisiveness.
Of course, this is also directly related to Shen Huai’s tough attitude that forced the mayor to bow his head yesterday.
If he is not afraid of the collapse of the steel mill now, even if the entire management of the steel mill is cleaned up, no one dares to say “no”, not to mention that he is just inviting three really capable people from the city steel mill to come in and join the prospective management?
What kind of lion leads what kind of team.
Even though Xu Xiting is a conservative and cautious person, at this moment, he has the passion to do a career.
*************
The electric furnace steel workshop where Shen Huai, Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong and Hu Zhigang went is the most important and core production line of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant.
It’s a pity that this line is running very poorly.
Due to the lack of technical strength and the serious lag and rigidity of management, almost 70% of the production capacity potential of this line has not been realized.
With two 45-ton electric arc furnaces as the core, plus pre-processing, refining furnace, slab continuous casting machine and other process equipment, plus the front, middle and rear sections of charge, billet and steel storage sites, The entire production line is spread out over a mile.
Standing in front of the second gate of the production area, looking at the corridor connecting the production of steel and the towering furnaces, the boldness of the modern steel industry is fully displayed in front of you.
It is a pity that this picture has its own appearance, and it is full of corruption.
When Meixi Iron and Steel Plant introduced the electric arc furnace continuous casting production line, it was the high tide period of domestic township enterprises. Affected by various stimuli, the counties and towns, including Donghua City, patted their heads and decided to launch the advanced technology that matured abroad in the early 1980s, regardless of whether they could digest it or not.
The cities and counties have given strong support in terms of loans, and they have lent nearly 50 million yuan from a number of banks at one time. Before 1990, Donghua City did not have such great support for township-level enterprises, and it was extremely rare in the whole province.
Shen Huai, as a technical backbone, was seconded to Meixi Iron and Steel Plant to participate in the three-month equipment installation and commissioning, and he was very clear about the situation of this line.
Even in the past three years, the technical level of this production line is still first-class in China.
It’s a pity that no matter how sharp the weapon is, no one who can make a knife is blind.
This production line requires 120 to 200 trained and qualified professional workers to operate and achieve a high productivity level of 300 tons of steel per capita per year.
Today, the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant has invested nearly 300 front-line workers in this line, but only a few professional engineers who really understand the technology are Xu Xiting, and the management of production safety is also quite lagging behind.
In the face of severe production safety pressure, with Xu Xiting’s cautious temperament, he did not dare to fully utilize production capacity.
Shen Huai talked with Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong for a long time at the factory office, and now he went to the production area, which is also very close to the working hours~www.readwn.com~ The front-line workers also arrived one after another.
Having experienced yesterday’s events, front-line workers have high emotions, but high emotions may not be able to do things right.
Shen Huai walked into the slab continuous casting section. The production line is still not running. There are twenty or thirty workers, and less than half of them can wear work clothes, safety shoes, and safety helmets according to regulations. Some people even stood in front of the tying machine wearing cotton slippers, and cigarette butts were lying on the ground; plates and equipment were piled up in disorder, and the ground was full of oil stains.
Xu Xiting could feel that Shen Huai was proficient in production management, because he frowned, although he did not say a word, but every time he glanced, it was a serious defect in production management-although Xu Xiting was not responsible for production management, However, as the deputy chief engineer, Shen Huai will also be promoted to the chief technical officer of the whole factory, and there is an invisible pressure that makes him unable to breathe.
Several deputy factory directors also rushed to the factory office, knowing that Shen Huai had been in the factory for a while in the morning, and did not dare to be careless. They also checked each other for loopholes, and rushed to the electric furnace steel workshop to meet Shen Huai.
Watching several deputy factory directors enter the workshop, Shen Huai stood in front of the rolling mill, watched them approach, and said to one of them, “As a manager, first of all, you must meticulously follow the production rules and regulations, you, go and submit your resignation report to one of them. Come to my office…”
After what happened yesterday, who would dare to be sloppy in front of Shen Huai?
Before they entered the factory, they also checked each other to make sure that there was nothing wrong with Shen Huai before they came over. How could they have thought that when they first saw Shen Huai, they would accuse him of not following the production rules and regulations, and forced him to resign?
The deputy director, who was brought out to Shen Huai to be forced to resign in public, immediately stood there stupidly, his face flushed, and he had no idea where he had made a mistake.
It was only after half the pay that someone noticed that he pulled his sleeve and pointed to his shoes: before he entered the factory, he did not change his leather shoes to work insurance shoes.
