Steel Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 60: Initial Results

The staff training was carried out at the first time, directly copying the training materials of the municipal steel mill.

Although the current labor discipline of the municipal steel factory is very loose, as a large state-owned enterprise supported by the city, its superficial work is much more beautiful than that of the township enterprises below.

Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao, Pan Cheng and other engineers who jumped out of the city steel mill are familiar with the training materials of the city steel mill. They usually also undertake the technical training of ordinary employees in the municipal steel plant, and they come to the Meixi iron and steel plant immediately, and there is no need for a transition period.

Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao, Pan Cheng and others also quickly became familiar with the front-line workers through training.

Labor discipline and fire and safety education in the whole plant, as the most basic training, were only planned for three days.

However, most of the front-line workers passed the assessment, which took ten days. There were a few people who couldn’t get through, so they kicked Shen Huai directly to the town government’s comprehensive management office as a sanitation worker.

Although the level of employees is very uneven, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant must assume the responsibility of solving the employment in the surrounding rural areas, and some problems must be digested by itself.

Using night training, the requirements are strict to the level of harshness, which is not experienced by steel mill employees before, but participating in training can make up for the wages owed in the first three months, and after passing the assessment, overtime can be calculated as double working hours Wages, two levels of wages are raised when they are officially on the job. Even if they feel it is very hard, the employees have nothing to complain about.

Steel mill workers, when have they seen double overtime pay? In 1993, there was not even a formal labor law in China.

If there are complaints, it is people like Hu Zhigang.

Hu Zhigang recommended him as a special assistant, and his salary was increased by two levels, but as a reserve member of the management team, according to Shen Huai, overtime is their due contribution to the steel mill.

Therefore, the management team of 26 people has to work overtime until 11 or 12 o’clock almost every day. They also take turns to work at the steel mill at night, but they don’t get a dime of overtime wages.

The entire management team, in addition to participating in all aspects of production rectification, is also responsible for the task of training ordinary workers. There are also various deficiencies in their own abilities, and they need to learn by doing, which is very hard, but under Shen Huai’s iron-fisted policy of governing the factory, if they want to be kicked out, everyone can only grit their teeth and persist.

At present, the employees of the steel plant are seriously overstaffed, and there is no way to tap the potential of production capacity quickly. However, Shen Huai continues to use Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao, Pan Cheng, and even sometimes Xiong Wenbin to pull people from the city steel plant. come over.

For the engineers and technical workers who came from the city steel mill, Shen Huai paid double the basic salary of his income in the city steel mill. There is no way, the technical strength of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is too weak, and it will take a long time to cultivate enough qualified engineers and mechanics by itself.

The annual output of the municipal steel plant is 20 to 30 times that of the Meixi iron and steel plant, and the number of employees is nearly ten times that of the Meixi iron and steel plant. There are hundreds of technicians and engineers above the intermediate level. This is the foundation accumulated by the city’s steel mills for decades.

Shen Huai didn’t dig the walls of the city’s steel mill at this time, who did he dig?

The situation of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant in Donghua Iron and Steel Industry is very bad. However, because of the rolling mill, many technicians and engineers who cannot be reused in the municipal steel plant are willing to downgrade to Meixi Iron and Steel Plant without raising their wages. .

In about half a month, the technical strength of the three production lines of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, as well as the public works and machine repair warehouses, has been greatly strengthened.

The initial production reorganization was handed over to Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong. There is nothing to worry about. Although Shen Huai participated, his main energy in the early stage was to clean up the current financial situation of the steel mill.

In the early 1990s, triangular debt was a stubborn problem faced by enterprises.

The steel export of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant was previously monopolized by Wanhu Company, and the price was maliciously lowered, but it also brought an advantage that the money owed by Meixi Iron and Steel Plant was mainly concentrated in Wanhu Company.

It is also because the main supplier of the upper furnace charge of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is Pengyue Trading, which is closely related to Wu Haifeng, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Zhou family. If Pengyue Trading wants to get the payment from the steel plant in time, it will exert pressure and urge Wanhu. The company pays the mill’s pressure.

In fact, when Shen Huai took over the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, Wanhu Company suppressed the steel plant’s payment of less than 20 million.

Naturally, Wanhu Company would not obediently pay back all the arrears, so Shen Huai assigned a deputy factory manager to report to Wanhu Company every day, blocking the doors of the financial office and the manager’s office to collect the arrears.

Wanhu Company delayed and returned to procrastination, but it did not dare to make any troubles for Shen Huai to seize on the eve of Tan Qiping’s appointment. Every time, he also gave a symbolic repayment of ten or two hundred thousand arrears, so as not to make trouble with each other. This also supports the current production capital needs of steel mills.

When cleaning up the finances of the steel mill, Shen Huai also saw that the financial work of the steel mill, under the auspices of Guo Quan and Qian Wenhui, was indeed the only bright spot in the steel mill that could make him feel comfortable.

No matter how the affiliated companies absorb the flesh and blood of the steel mill through various means, the internal accounts of the steel mill are very clear, so Shen Huai can grasp the financial situation of the steel mill as quickly as possible.

After the steel mill was expanded and reformed in the late 1980s, the output value has fluctuated around 100 million yuan. If the financial level is on par with that of ordinary township enterprises, it is impossible to sort out the financial and asset status of the steel mill without having two or three months to clear up the accounts of the steel mill over several years.

Looking at the financial statements, after 1988, the steel mill did not calculate the depreciation of equipment, and the annual loss was still about 2 million yuan. Shen Huai was worried.

Based on the maintenance status of the facilities before the steel mill, no matter how good the production line is, it can be used for at most ten years. Including depreciation, the annual loss will exceed 10 million.

The foundation accumulated by steel mills in the past three decades has almost been completely depleted in the last three or four years.

Shen Huai finally asked Qian Wenhui, and Guo Quan, who participated in the financial audit of the steel plant as the deputy director of the town’s enterprise office, to calculate the value of the equipment assets with a 20-year depreciation period, and then transfer the 600 acres originally allocated by the town for free. The value of the industrial land and some ancillary buildings were taken into account, and in the end, the total assets of 120 million, the net assets of 40 million, and the default of bank loans of 80 million were barely visible.

It only took half a month to clarify the assets of the steel mill. Guo Quan and Qian Wenhui’s financial work should be considered very good, but such a financial report was placed in front of the conference table, making Shen Huai’s heart difficult to relax.

The loan principal owed to the bank does not need to be repaid for the time being, but the monthly interest will be 400,000. This is still the result of the county and city doing a lot of work before, and the bank agreeing to a substantial reduction in interest.

The day before Tan Qiping officially took office at Donghua, in the large conference room of the Meixi Iron and Steel Plant, Shen Huai frowned while looking at the newly released financial report, distracted from thinking about deeper issues.

Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Hu Zhigang, Xu Wendao, Guo Quan, Qian Wenhui and others who were sitting in the conference room could see the worry in Shen Huai’s eyes.

Of course, they didn’t feel worried, but felt that Shen Huai was too strict with himself and the steel mill.

Half a month has passed, and employee training has just started, so it is impossible to increase production capacity immediately.

Yang Penghai’s Penghai Trading Company also officially signed a distribution contract and became one of the distributors of the steel mill, but the payment for the goods was only 200,000 yuan at a time, and everything seemed to have just started.

However, the effective improvement of the entire production situation can be felt by all managers involved in the rectification of production.

It is not simply that employees have become disciplined. Under the iron-fisted policy, everyone can wear work clothes, labor insurance shoes, and safety helmets according to their size, which eliminates serious violations of discipline such as skipping work, smoking, gambling at work, and stealing steel mill materials. Phenomenon.

For other production and sales data, the statistical cycle is long, half a month, and there is not much obvious improvement, but the yield of each furnace billet is calculated and reported every day by Shen Huai.

This is also the data that most directly reflects the results of the rectification of the production line and whether the quality of production management has been improved.

Before and after Shen Huai’s rectification of production, the finished product rate of steel billets was reduced from the initial less than 80%. In just half a month, only by strengthening labor discipline and supplementing the technical force recruited from the municipal steel mills in key technical positions, it became stable. Above 84, 85%.

This means that even if other conditions do not improve, in the absence of other inputs, the steel sales of steel mills can increase by as much as five or six million a year, which is also a net increase in profit.

As long as this rectification can be continued and the billet yield reaches the current level of 89% of the municipal steel plant, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant will be able to successfully get rid of the loss-making situation.

The key is that the target of 89% of the steel billet yield of the municipal steel plant is not difficult to achieve. It can also be said to be one of the goals that must be achieved in the early stage of production rectification.

When Shen Huai took over the Meixi Steel Plant, almost all the management of the steel plant, including Xu Xiting, did not think that Shen Huai had the ability to save the steel plant, let alone believe that he could lead the steel plant to take off. on track.

After all, Shen Huai was too young. With his backstage and unusually tough attitude, everyone mistakenly thought that he was a self-willed and arrogant guy.

This kind of person, no matter how high the IQ is, no matter how hard the background is, and has no actual industrial management experience, is more likely to lead the steel mill into a deeper abyss~www.readwn.com~ However, in just half a month, Shen Huai was in the grip of an iron fist. Under the tough stance of the factory, the super-high management level and the mastery of production management, not to mention the half-hearted people of the original management, are Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao and other professionals who have a deep understanding of the steel industry. , are also amazing.

Of course, nothing is more exciting than the hope of a direct steel mill turning a profit. At least at this moment, everyone sitting in the conference room admitted from the bottom of their hearts that Shen Huai had the ability to save the steel mill and lead it to take off.

“The steel mill has made great improvements in half a month, which is obvious to all. Even in front of Director Xiong, I have to say that Director Shen’s level is no worse than that of Director Xiong’s management of the city’s steel mills. Within three months, we are confident that we can achieve the goal of aligning with the municipal steel mill in terms of the finished product rate of billets. This should be very inspiring, Director Shen, should we also reduce the pressure for us?” Xu Xiting said jokingly. .

Shen Huai’s distracted mind pulled back Xu Xiting’s joke and laughed. The situation of the steel mill can be greatly improved. It is not so much his ability as to say that the steel mill’s foundation is too bad, so after a little rectification, Can see obvious effect.

As for targeting the city steel mill, Shen Huai also smiled in his heart.

As far as the management level of municipal steel mills is concerned, even third-rate steel companies in China may not be able to squeeze in. If you only aim at the current management level of the city’s steel mills, you will look down on yourself too much.

However, the foundation of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant is too poor and the pressure is too great, but other unexpected situations are prone to occur.

Shen Huai smiled and said: “The manager’s duty is still as usual, the other staff will have a normal rest tomorrow, and I have something to do tomorrow…”

Zhao Dong knew that Tan Qiping would come to Donghua tomorrow to take up his post. Shen Huai could not be absent, and they only got a day’s rest in half a month.
