Zhou Xiaoyun remembered Ran Yuying's entrustment and really wanted to call the school to ask about Gao Fan's situation. But before she could go to work in the afternoon, Xu Zhenxin sent someone to inform her that the investigation team from the Provincial Department of Chemical Industry had arrived.
She immediately went to the factory conference room to attend the meeting.
"Xiaoyun, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? Have you solved your personal problem?"
When they arrived at the conference room, before Zhou Xiaoyun could say anything, the leader of the investigation team of the Department of Chemical Industry, Deputy Director Xu Ying, first came with this 1982 version of urging marriage.
"Director Xu, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Xiaoyun blushed like all unmarried young women and was unable to answer directly.
Xu Ying is a business official who is in charge of small nitrogen fertilizer work in the Department of Chemical Industry. She has been to small nitrogen fertilizer plants across the province several times. Because Zhou Xiaoyun is the technical authority of Canghai Fertilizer Plant and has the status of a Pujiang girl, Xu Ying
Very impressed with her.
In this era, 34-year-old leftover women are still relatively rare. If this older leftover woman is very beautiful, has a good temperament, and is a business backbone, leaders at all levels will be particularly concerned. When meeting, they must first ask if they have solved their personal problems.
An indispensable link.
"There is a deputy chief engineer at the Provincial Chemical Engineering Design Institute, who is 4 years older than you..." Xu Ying was very excited and prepared to become a matchmaker.
"Uh, Director Xu, let's talk about work first." Zhou Xiaoyun quickly interrupted.
Is this a matchmaking occasion? A number of officials from the investigation team and a number of cadres from the factory are present. Is it appropriate for you, the deputy director, to gossip like this?
This was the early 1980s of the last century. In future generations, would you believe that the person involved had just said "none of your business" and the director was rebuffed?
Xu Ying didn't feel there was anything wrong with what she said, and in fact, other people present didn't feel anything was wrong either. However, the person involved objected, and Xu Ying couldn't continue talking, so she quickly switched back to work mode and said:
"Since Xiao Zhou has arrived, let's get started. I came down with Director Qiao and Ji Gong this time, mainly to learn about two things. One is the explosion of the ammonia tank in Canghai Fertilizer Plant, and the other is the coal consumption of Canghai Fertilizer Plant.
Matters related to excessive management.
"Director Gao acted bravely and was seriously injured in order to protect other comrades in the ammonia pool explosion. This matter is already known in the department. Before I came to Cangtang, I also visited Director Gao. His injury has recovered well.
That's good, but he can't be discharged from the hospital yet. He also asked me to bring a message back so that everyone doesn't have to worry about him."
"That's great." Qiu Guoliang said with a grandfather-like expression of relief, "At that time, the ammonia pool exploded, and the insulating quilt flew over. We were all shocked. If Director Gao hadn't stepped forward,
I used my body to block the insulation cotton, and several of us present may have been injured. In the past few days, we have been worried about Factory Director Gao's injury."
Xu Ying said: "Director Gao had some damage to his internal organs. After the operation at the First Affiliated Hospital, he was no longer in danger. When we went to visit him, he didn't care about his injuries and kept telling us
Regarding the management of coal consumption at Canghai Plant, this work style is worth learning from all of us."
"Yes, yes, Director Gao has always been like this. He is a role model for all our cadres and workers in the factory." Xu Zhenxin nodded in agreement.
Xu Ying turned her attention to the deputy factory directors present and said: "The explosion of the ammonia pool and the control of the two coal consumption should have been reported by the factory director. Now that factory director Gao is not here, which of your factory leaders will take his place?
Will he report it?"
"I'll do it." Qiu Guoliang said. He was also the deputy director in charge of production, and this matter was his responsibility.
The explosion of the ammonia pool was very simple. Two workers violated production disciplines and left their jobs without authorization to go to the top of the ammonia pool to smoke, which ignited the hydrogen in the exhaust pipe, causing the explosion.
The explosion killed one of the two workers involved and injured the other. The seriously injured one was out of danger after rescue, but he must have been disabled. In addition, the insulation cotton flying out of the scene injured Gao Yiping who was passing by. In addition,
There were no further casualties.
Since the amount of hydrogen in the exhaust pipe was not large, the explosion did not cause serious damage to equipment or buildings. Some minor damage has been repaired after several days of repairs, and there was no obvious impact on production.
Of course, after all, this was a safety accident that resulted in one death and two injuries, and the relevant responsible persons must still be dealt with. Other companies have similar precedents. Even if the Canghai Fertilizer Factory copied the work, it knew how to do it, and the handling suggestions put forward made Xu
Ying and the others have nothing to say.
After reporting the explosion of the ammonia pool, the next step is the matter of two coal consumption. A few months ago, the Chemical Industry Department issued a warning to the Canghai Factory, requiring the Canghai Plant to come up with a treatment plan. The original deadline given by the Chemical Industry Department was longer than it is now.
It was a little later, but because of the ammonia tank explosion, the Department of Chemical Industry sent an investigation team, and they finally found out about it.
"Our factory attaches great importance to the reform of the two coal consumption. Factory Director Gao personally took charge of it and made a formal report to the Cangtang County Government. The leader of the Cangtang County Economic Commission personally came to our factory and instructed us to take it seriously and really implement it.
Work hard and implement the rectification requirements put forward by the Department of Chemical Industry..."
Qiu Guoliang took out a speech and began to read it stumblingly.
"Lao Qiu, don't read this manuscript of yours." Xu Ying interrupted him, "No one here is an outsider. We don't need these official articles. Save your manuscript for use when writing the summary. Lao Qiu
, just tell me what your factory is going to do to control the excessive coal consumption in the two provinces, and what steps it has taken so far."
"Hey, I know Director Xu doesn't like to hear this." Qiu Guoliang smiled and put away his speech. He and Xu Ying were also very familiar with each other and knew each other's temper. Since Xu Ying asked him to speak directly, he just put aside the speech and casually
said:
"Director Xu, Director Qiao, and Jigong, the coal consumption of our factory is relatively high. This problem is actually a historical problem. The economy of Cangtang County is ranked at the middle and lower level in the province. When we first built our Canghai Fertilizer Factory
At that time, the capital investment was less than that of nitrogen fertilizer plants in other counties, resulting in many of our equipment falling behind other plants.
"In recent years, especially since 1978, small nitrogen fertilizer plants in many counties in the province have upgraded their equipment, and their coal consumption has dropped significantly. In some plants, the level has dropped to less than 2 tons. As for our plant, despite the vigorous development of
We have taken actions to reduce consumption and save energy, but due to poor foundation and long-term equipment disrepair, the current coal consumption is still close to 3 tons, which is holding back the entire province."
"So what Factory Director Qiu means is that Canghai Factory must update its equipment to reduce coal consumption, right?" Xu Ying said the rest of the words for Qiu Guoliang.
