The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 332, New Factory Director
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. As Fan Xianghua and Wang Baoyi were arrested one after another, the novelty gradually faded away after discussions among the employees of the steel rolling mill.

Now the various workshops and departments of the rolling mill have a new hot focus, and that is who the new factory director will be.

Even the security department is no exception.

No, after midnight as usual in the morning, Liu Heng and Zheng Shan, who had nothing to do, ran to Li Weiguo's office in the name of Cengci to ask him for news.

Zheng Shan was thick-skinned, and after smoking a cigarette from him, he approached him with a smile and asked about the new factory director.

"Section Chief, it's been three days. Do you think the new director of our factory should be decided? You have a lot of connections. Have you heard anything from above?"

When Liu Heng, Yang Xiaojun, Shao Gang, and Han Dayou heard Zheng Shan's question, they also pricked up their ears and looked at Li Weiguo, looking very interested.

It stands to reason that the former factory director Wang Jianbang has been reassigned and resigned three days ago. Even if there is a meeting to study it, the study should be completed, but there is no news yet, which inevitably arouses the curiosity of the general public.

"I'm not the leader of the ministry. What news can I have? You guys want to know, but I still want to know." Li Weiguo had no choice but to cast a blank glance at the group of gossipers, and lit a cigarette for himself.

"Section Chief, can't you? Aren't you familiar with Deputy Factory Manager Li, and the old man has a close relationship, so you haven't heard anything about it?" Liu Heng didn't believe it, and took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"Our rolling mill is an enterprise directly under the Ministry. If the Ministry decides on a candidate, it will definitely make a personnel appointment directly. Why are you discussing here? If there is no news, it must have not been decided yet." Li Weiguo explained.

To be honest, he really didn't know the final result. Three days ago, Li Huaide asked him for supplies to clear up the relationship. He quietly sent them to him in the early morning of the next day in the dark, but now these three days It's all over, but still no final decision has been given to him from above.

Li Weiguo estimated that the efforts of the other deputy factory directors must be considerable. In the final analysis, such a large-scale personnel appointment still depends on hard power. It may not be very effective to smooth the relationship with materials alone.

When Zheng Shan and the others heard this, they were immediately disappointed. After inquiring for a long time, they still inquired about loneliness.

Liu Heng didn't give up, and then asked: "The section chief, who do you think has the best chance to become the new factory director? Will one be promoted from among the four deputy factory directors or one will be airborne from the department?"

Li Weiguo thought for a while, then replied: "Airborne should not be possible. Our factory is such a big factory, so there is no way to come here by airborne, and you can't sit still when you come here. It should be promoted from the existing leaders in the factory." A few days ago, the list of candidates was submitted, and the higher-level organization department also sent people to investigate, and they should be promoted from among the four deputy factory directors."

Liu Heng and the others nodded in agreement when they heard the words. To be an official, you not only have to have a backer at the top, but also someone to carry it below. Selected from among the deputy factory directors.

"Section chief, who do you think among the four deputy directors in our factory is most likely to be promoted to director?" Zheng Shan asked following the topic.

Li Weiguo smiled, he couldn't answer this uncertain matter, so he asked: "What do you guys think, who is the most likely?"

Liu Heng thought for a while and analyzed: "Deputy Factory Director Li is in charge of logistics, Deputy Factory Director Yang is in charge of production and sales, Deputy Factory Director Duan is in charge of technology and mechanical maintenance, and Deputy Factory Director Zhang is in charge of electromechanical power and quality inspection. It seems that the stalls in charge of the four deputy factory directors are not much different, but I personally think that the probability of Deputy Factory Director Li is higher."

"Deputy Director Li is in charge of the logistics department. During the few years when supplies were scarce, his reputation was very good. The benefits and treatment of our factory are better than those of some brothers in the surrounding area. At least the employees below are still concerned about his work. Very satisfied."

After Liu Heng finished speaking, Zheng Shan also put forward his own opinion: "I think that the probability of Deputy Factory Director Yang's success is not small. Deputy Factory Director Yang is in charge of production and sales, which is the main business of our rolling mill. The superiors always value it. Regarding production, maybe Director Yang has more weight in the hearts of the leaders above."

What they both said made sense, and Yang Xiaojun, Shao Gang, and Han Dayou nodded in agreement from time to time.

However, no one mentioned the remaining two deputy factory directors, so Yang Xiaojun asked a question in a timely manner: "What about the deputy factory director Duan and the deputy factory director Zhang, do these two have no chance?"

Liu Heng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Deputy Factory Manager Zhang. I haven't heard that he has any outstanding achievements, and the quality inspection is still a job that offends people. The reputation of everyone is not good, so there should be no chance. .”

"On the contrary, the deputy director Duan who is in charge of technology and mechanical maintenance still has a chance, but the probability is not high. After all, compared with the previous two, he doesn't have much advantage."

Then, Liu Heng made a detailed analysis and comparison of the four deputy factory directors one by one, and he spoke clearly and logically. He didn't know where he got so many gossip, which made Zheng Shan and the others stunned.

Li Weiguo smiled without saying a word, smoking slowly, listening to these idlers giving advice.

Just when the few of them had nothing to do and got together to talk nonsense, the leaders of the factory committee who had been waiting for a long time finally waited today for the leader of the Organization Department of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.

Factory office building, fourth floor, large meeting room.

After the leaders of the Organization Department of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry arrived at the rolling mill, the leaders of the factory committee rushed to the meeting room after receiving the notice.

The meeting was temporarily presided over by Secretary Qin of the Steel Rolling Mill Committee, who accepted the personnel appointments from the superior organization department.

After all the cadres of the factory committee were seated, Secretary Qin looked around and saw that everyone was present, so he stood up first and said:

"Now that everyone is here, let's start. Everyone knows the content of today's meeting, so let's welcome the leaders of the superior organization department to come to the rolling mill for guidance with warm applause."

After Secretary Qin's words fell, he was the first to applaud.

"Bah bang bang!" A group of cadres followed up with warm applause.

Facing the enthusiastic crowd, the leader of the higher-level organization department pressed his palm with a smile, and waited for the applause to subside before opening his mouth and saying:

"Comrades, thank you for your warm welcome. The appointment of personnel in the rolling mill has been delayed for several days. I think you can't wait any longer and are not in the mood to listen to my nonsense. Then let's get straight to the point and directly read the official announcement of the Ministry of Industry. Personnel appointments from the Organization Department."

After the leader of the Organization Department finished speaking, all the cadres present sat up straight, their eyes blazing.

Although after so many days of selection, investigation, and organizational interviews, the cadres with a foothold already knew the results when the leaders of the higher-level organization department came over.

However, such a major personnel change will have a considerable impact on the governance structure and subsequent construction of various workshops, departments and branches in the factory, so the atmosphere on the scene is also quite serious.

Seeing that everyone was getting ready, the leader of the organization department smiled, took out a few documents from his briefcase, and immediately stood up.

"Here are three comrades, Yang Guojun, Li Huaide and Wang Qingjun of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant. During their employment, they were dedicated to their work, united with their comrades, and were willing to contribute."

"After research, it has been decided that Comrade Yang Guojun will be removed from the position of deputy director of production from now on, and Comrade Yang Guojun will be appointed as the director and deputy secretary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, who will be responsible for fully presiding over the daily production and construction of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, and assisting senior officials in carrying out the work. work."

"Comrade Wang Qingjun is appointed as the deputy director of production of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, in charge of production and sales."

"In addition, Comrade Li Huaide was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill Committee, to assist senior officials in carrying out administrative work, and to do a good job in the construction of his thinking, organization, and work style"

". Above, Organization Department of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, April 1961, 4."

"Congratulations to you, Director Yang, Deputy Secretary Li, and Deputy Director Wang, hehehe."

After the reading was finished, the leader of the Organization Department put away the document and shook hands with the three of them with a smile.

The meeting was filled with joy and harmony, especially Director Yang and the newly promoted Deputy Director Wang, who had become the big winners today and were already grinning from ear to ear.

In contrast, Li Huaide's mood was not so good. Although he had already known the result from his father-in-law before the leader of the organization department came over, he still couldn't let it go, so he could only squeeze a smiley face dryly. A group of cadres laughed perfunctorily.

No way, it cost a hundred rabbits plus six hundred catties of meat and other things, but it didn't work out, and no one would be happy about it.

If it hadn't been for the superior to make up for it and propose him a deputy secretary of the committee, he probably would have thought of jumping up and cursing his mother right now.

Although he has added the title of deputy secretary of the committee to his position as the deputy director of the logistics department, in terms of real power, he is already the third in command of the rolling mill.

But the third child is the third child, and he can't compare to the second-in-command of the factory director.

The hurdle of becoming a full-time deputy has not been passed, and it is estimated that we will have to wait for several years or even longer.

This time, Factory Manager Yang not only got promoted to the factory manager, but also got the right to manage and share in the HR department, and even Wang Qingjun, the newly promoted deputy factory director of production, is also one of his people. Li Huaide was really unexpected .

Obviously, the opponent didn't have much advantage, but he just won. Up until now, he hadn't even figured out where he lost.

After the meeting ended, he returned to the office and sent away a group of congratulatory cadres. Li Huaide took a few sips of tea vigorously.

After drinking the tea, he slammed the teapot on the table. The more Li Huaide thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. Then he picked up the phone and gave his father-in-law a ring.

The phone rang for a few seconds, the switchboard switched over, and soon his father-in-law's voice came from the microphone:

"Hello, who is it?"

"Dad, it's me."

"Oh, it's Huaide, why did you call me? The Organization Department should have gone over to read out the personnel appointments to you by now, right?"

"Yes, Dad, the reading has been finished, and a deputy secretary of the committee has been proposed to me. The biggest peach is still picked by Yang Guojun and his subordinate Wang Qingjun."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and he said with relief: "Forget it, Huaide, think about it, if it doesn't work this time, I will fight for it next time, and there will always be a chance in the future."

"I know, Dad, but I'm not reconciled. We obviously made enough preparations, but in the end it was Yang Guojun who became the boss. Even Wang Qingjun, the director of the production department under him, was promoted to the deputy director of the factory. I want to know how they How did you win?"

Li Huaide is not someone who can't afford to lose, but losing out of nowhere is not something he can accept. At least he needs to know where he lost, so that he won't stumble twice in the same place in the future.

His father-in-law didn't speak, he was silent for a moment, and explained: "I just found out after inquiring about the relationship. The relationship behind Yang Guojun relies on the big leaders in your ministry. The strong alliance has the support of the big leaders. With the final hammer, Yang Guojun was decided."

"And you don't like the act of sending things to the leaders of your ministry, so..."

Hearing this, Li Huaide was silent. He still didn't understand why he lost.

After all, the backer is not big enough. Although his father-in-law can give some help, in the end, his father-in-law is not the chief leader. He can only give some suggestions and opinions, but cannot influence the final decision.

Moreover, he was unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire this time. His usual tricks that worked well in the past worked for everyone, but this time he encountered an upright leader and it didn't work.
Although he sent the supplies in the name of fighting for quotas with the superiors, which was not enough to bribe, but in the end it aroused the resentment of the big leaders and left the impression of opportunism to the big leaders.

After hanging up the phone, Li Huaide was sad for a moment.

At this time, he lost his temper too much. When he met such an upright leader, he did not make a mistake, and just stepped on the thunder.

The most important thing is that the relationship behind Yang Guojun actually relies on the big leaders of the ministry. The combination of strong and powerful is already a force majeure, which is beyond the scope of his father-in-law's ability, and he can't do anything about it.

After all, Li Huaide is a qualified politician. After thinking about the matter, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly adjusted his mentality.

If it doesn't work this time, then try for the next time. Considering that he is still young, there will always be a chance.

It is impossible for a great leader to remain a great leader all the time. Li Huaide encouraged himself secretly.
