Chapter 2706 I just want to lie down!
As the Ninth Department's actions unfolded, more and more factories were mobilized, and more and more people felt a warm breeze blowing from Beijing, which then swept in all directions, bringing warmth to this cold winter.
The factories that had direct production tasks with the Ninth Division were the first to be affected.
Like various alloys, software, and supporting facilities used in aircraft manufacturing.
Semiconductor materials are needed for calculators, and solar cells are needed for satellites.
Such as engines, radios, air conditioners, etc., needed for automobile production.
Then there are the factories downstream of the direct task factory.
Like minerals in alloy manufacturing, from mining to smelting, then to steel mills to manufacture suitable metallurgical products, and finally testing the alloy's properties.
From high-purity silicon used in semiconductor manufacturing to high-frequency induction furnaces used in production.
Furthermore, the production of high-purity silicon requires a large amount of electricity, which has spurred changes in the power industry, and power generation itself requires coal.
Steel production also requires large quantities of iron ore and coal.
All of the above requires not only the mining of large quantities of coal and ore resources, but also the transportation of railways to provide sufficient minerals.
When you calculate it this way, it looks like a large net.
The ninth department is located at the center of the network, and the factories connected to the ninth department gradually extend, continuously forming a network.
A vast network covering all industries and affecting tens of thousands of factories.
As the central position of the Nine Departments was elevated, the connected departments were forced to follow suit, and consequently, the related departments below them were also elevated.
Therefore, the higher the development of the Nine Departments, the better.
The factories below will develop faster and higher.
Of course, not everyone can keep up with the pace of the Nine Departments during this development process.
Those who cannot keep up will gradually fall behind and eventually be replaced by others.
Liuzhou Machinery Factory.
Tang Qiang, the former factory secretary, and Lan Baoguo, the former factory director, reunited.
The two men smoked, their faces etched with worry.
Originally, the two were the top two leaders of the factory, but because they did not respond actively at the White Horse Fighter manufacturing plant, they were directly removed by the Ninth Department.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't angry.
Unfortunately, circumstances were beyond their control, and no matter how unwilling they were, they could only swallow their anger.
Fortunately, the two had worked for so many years, and even if they hadn't made any great contributions, they had certainly put in a lot of effort. In addition, they had some connections with the province, so although their positions were removed, they were still members of the machinery factory.
Moreover, because their prestige remained and the relationships they had cultivated over the years were still intact, the newly appointed factory director, Song Fei, did not 'ruthlessly eliminate' them, but instead allowed the two to take charge of the machinery factory's daily administrative work as directors.
However, Song Fei's 'leniency' did not win the favor of the two men. Instead, they took advantage of Song Fei's 'guilt' and his weakness in management to start forming cliques.
At the same time, the rapid development of the machinery factory brought economic benefits, which in turn fostered personal relationships and expanded the workforce.
After a series of maneuvers, the two men had almost won over the management of the machinery factory to their side.
Originally, the two thought this was a good thing, with Song Fei protecting them and the ability to benefit from the Nine Departments.
They then went to the back to scoop up the meat and eat it.
In fact, they ate more during this period than when they were party secretaries or factory directors.
Moreover, although fewer people gathered around them than before, they were all loyal core members.
Thus, in this machinery factory, the two were considered 'big shots' who had retreated behind the scenes, and in some ways even had more power than Song Fei, the factory director.
They thought they could live a peaceful and secure life behind the scenes, enjoying the benefits, but unexpectedly, the Ninth Department created an internal audit department.
They had heard of the internal audit departments of these nine ministries back when they were still under the jurisdiction of the Third Ministry of Machine Building.
It is an institution specially established within the nine supervisory departments.
The internal audit department has gradually expanded from initially focusing on laws, regulations, operating procedures, and quality control to include factory personnel, production capacity, task completion, and so on, becoming increasingly comprehensive.
They were initially glad they weren't from the Ninth Department, otherwise, given the state of their factory, it would have been riddled with flaws and wouldn't have stood up to scrutiny.
But who would have thought that the manufacture of the White Horse fighter jet would suddenly put their factory in the spotlight.
Initially, they were reluctant when they were given the task of skinning the White Horse fighter plane.
There's little reward for doing these tasks well, and more tasks will be assigned later, which is completely at odds with their laid-back mentality.
If they don't do a good job, not only will they be punished, but it will also affect the factory's profits.
In short, maintaining the current situation is the best course of action.
This is also why they weren't enthusiastic at first.
Later, the Third Ministry of Machine Building sent people to investigate and made the harsh statement, "If you can't do it, we'll replace you."
They had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.
Fortunately, the workshop workers, led by Song Fei, successfully completed the task.
However, completing this task was like opening a road of no return, directly transferring the personnel from the Third Ministry of Machine Building to the Ninth Ministry.
In other words, they will be the factory of Department Nine from now on.
What are the Nine Departments for?
That's for showing off. Look at how the Ninth Department has grown from a steel rolling mill to what it is today. If it didn't stand out, would it be valued by the higher-ups?
How can they be lazy and unambitious after joining an organization like this?
Moreover, their past actions simply cannot withstand investigation.
In an instant, the two of them felt as if the sky had fallen.
In order to prepare for the internal audit, the two of them have been robbing Peter to pay Paul during this period.
But before they could finish tearing down the east wall, they received new appointments.
The new factory manager of the machinery factory was Song Fei, whom they had never thought highly of.
Now, the internal audit department has arrived, led by Secretary Liu Huaimin from headquarters.
These people aren't like Song Fei, a simple-minded guy who's easy to deal with.
These people are all very shrewd; if you investigate the things that happen in the factory, you'll definitely find a lot of things.
By then, these two "behind-the-scenes bosses" will be lucky to even keep their lives if they are exposed, let alone remain behind the scenes.
"Old Tang, I heard last night that they're going to investigate how the staff are assigned to their jobs."
With a cigarette butt between his teeth, Lan Baoguo said absentmindedly, "It seems headquarters has implemented a policy to streamline personnel; they're probably doing this." Tang Qiang just nodded blankly, his mind preoccupied.
"Old Tang, have you heard about what happened at the Tianjin electronics factory?"
"Half of the administrative staff have been sent to the workshop. At least other places have manpower, but we..."
"Old Tang, we can't go on like this. Do you know what those people in administration and HR do? If this investigation continues, we'll both be finished."
"And then there's that mess in logistics. If they bring up old grievances, we're doomed."
"And then there's Song Fei. That guy's always jumping around, and after getting the reward from the Ninth Division last time, his heart wasn't in it anymore."
Lan Baoguo said angrily, while Tang Qiang glanced at him sideways and said, "What are you afraid of? What good will it do to be afraid?"
Lan Baoguo swallowed hard, then sat down sullenly to the side.
Tsk~~
Tang Qiang picked up a match and struck it hard, the flame leaped up, and then lit the tobacco.
With a puff, the tobacco burned rapidly, and at the same time, the white paper wrapping it turned to ash.
huh~~~
Thick smoke was exhaled.
Tang Qiang then looked at Lan Baoguo and said, "The only way for us to survive is to muddy the waters."
Lan Baoguo shuddered, then stood up and asked, "Go on, I'm listening."
Tang Qiang nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Find a few trustworthy people and spread the word like this."
"Then we'll find someone else..."
After Tang Qiang finished speaking, Lan Baoguo swallowed hard and nodded vigorously, "I'll go right now!"
After Lan Baoguo left the office, Tang Qiang finally slumped down, as if he had lost all support, and lay on the table with a pale face.
"I just want a stable, ordinary life, a simple job, and a peaceful life. Is that wrong?"
Why didn't you leave us a way out?!
A voice filled with fear and resentment echoed in the office!
There's also an air of decrepitude and weariness in it.
……
Liu Huaimin sat in a chair with a red notebook in front of him, his pen occasionally scratching as it fell to the ground.
The days of travel had made him look a bit thinner, with his cheeks sunken in, but his eyes were much brighter.
This trip not only gave me a better understanding of the local factories, but also the different challenges they faced.
They gained a better understanding of the local situation.
It also made him realize that there are some things you can't understand sitting in an office; a few simple sheets of paper simply can't explain the actual situation.
But the reality is often more severe than what one sees.
As Liu Huaimin paused for a moment, he thought of the colorless faces of those people and the "revolutionary enthusiasm" in the newspapers, and his heart suddenly tightened.
bang bang
There was a knock on the door.
Liu Huaimin looked up and said, "Please come in!"
The door then opened, and two people walked in.
"Secretary, Comrade Song Fei has arrived!"
The head security officer spoke first, followed by a dark-skinned middle-aged man.
"Hello, Comrade Song Fei!"
Liu Huaimin capped the pen and stood up to greet them warmly.
Song Fei had reservations about becoming the factory director.
After all, in his experience, someone who can do a good job in production may not be a good factory manager, nor may they be able to manage a factory well.
But Yang Xiaotao insisted on having the other party lead the machinery factory, and there was nothing he could do about it.
However, it's already quite good that the machine factory was able to meet the needs of the White Horse fighter jet and didn't hinder its progress.
Looking at the man in front of him again, Liu Huaimin felt that the man looked much older and thinner than before.
It seems that the position of factory manager is very demanding.
"Secretary Liu, it's been a long time!"
Song Fei smiled broadly. He had met Liu Huaimin at the joint performance of the nine organizations last year.
Moreover, after the awards ceremony, he even had dinner with leaders from the nine departments, including Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin.
Overall, I am quite familiar with Yang Xiaotao, but due to our age difference, we don't have much to talk about.
Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning, and others, who are quite experienced, chatted quite freely.
After the two shook hands, the security officer left and closed the door behind him.
The two then took their seats.
"Comrade Song Fei, our internal audit team is here at the factory mainly to understand the situation and conduct routine audits in accordance with the internal audit system of the nine departments, so we need everyone's active cooperation."
Liu Huaimin exchanged a few polite words before getting to the point.
"According to our review process, we will hold our first meeting this afternoon to announce the process, key points, and relevant headquarters regulations for this internal audit."
"We invited you here today because we wanted to hear your opinion on our work and the voices of our workers."
Immediately afterwards, Liu Huaimin stated his purpose, and Song Fei, sitting opposite him, hesitated.
This is also why Liu Huaimin sought out Song Fei.
Having gone through the vetting process, he had seen all sorts of things, and with his ample experience, he wasn't naively convinced that every place would welcome them.
After all, they came here to find fault.
Moreover, the Liuzhou Machinery Factory is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
The factory was formerly under the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry, providing aircraft manufacturing parts to the Ministry.
But so many years have passed, and it has remained lukewarm, without much fanfare.
If it weren't for the appearance of the White Horse fighter jet last time, this factory would never have come into the public eye.
Even so, there are still many problems in the production process.
Placing the final stop of this internal audit trip here demonstrates the internal audit team's determination.
If there's a problem, solve it.
