Chapter 135 The cold night guests come to tea and drink
Regarding his political mistakes, Song Hongxuan did not mince words. He refilled Qin Hai's and Qiao Changsheng's cups with a little water, and then recounted his experiences in detail.
Song Hongxuan's native place is a county in Anhe Province. His parents are both school teachers. He has some family background. He has loved reading since he was a child, and his academic performance in school was also among the best. In those years, the college entrance examination
The system was abolished and replaced by a recommendation to go to university. Because Song Hongxuan was quite famous in the county, he was recommended to Anhe Institute of Technology to study metallurgical technology. Speaking of which, Li Linguang was still one of his teachers.
After graduating from school, Song Hongxuan was assigned to work at the Beixi Iron and Steel Plant. Due to his solid theoretical foundation in metallurgy and his hard work, he was quickly promoted to deputy director of the No. 2 open-hearth workshop. He was once the deputy director of the Beixi Iron and Steel Plant.
A rising star in industrial systems.
Song Hongxuan is quick-thinking and good at summing up experience from practice. When he was the deputy director of the workshop, he noticed problems such as lax production discipline in the workshop and workers' lack of enthusiasm for production, so he proposed the introduction of scientific assessment methods, the implementation of a flexible wage system, survival of the fittest, etc.
Management ideas. From the perspective of later generations, these ideas are ordinary, but at the time they were shocking and were criticized by the factory leaders.
Also because he was young and young, Song Hongxuan did not realize that the attitude of the factory leaders was widely representative. When he saw that the newspaper had been mentioning slogans about emancipating the mind, he thought it was time to speak freely. He wrote down his thoughts in a
The 10,000-word letter pointed directly at the shortcomings in the management of state-owned enterprises. He even proposed forward-thinking concepts such as labor marketization and reducing planned intervention. He submitted this 10,000-word letter to the Anhe Provincial Party Committee, which resulted in great trouble for himself.
trouble.
There is a saying that one step ahead is a genius, three steps ahead is a monster. These concepts proposed by Song Hongxuan were not widely accepted in China until 10 years later. His vision was farther than others, which destined him to be inevitable.
It is not tolerated by traditional forces.
An official letter from the Provincial Party Committee was sent to the Beixi Municipal Party Committee, and the Municipal Party Committee forwarded the issue to the Beixi Steel Plant, so Song Hongxuan's position as deputy workshop director was quickly erased. He was also transferred to the information department for "major political errors"
Even so, he still has to thank the old leaders of Beixi Steel Plant, because in that environment, serious mistakes like his would not be punished with a heavier punishment.
Unfortunately, at this point, the old leaders still tried their best to protect him.
"I was also a blessing in disguise." Song Hongxuan said self-deprecatingly, "When I got to the reference room, my work became easier, and there were so many books. It was like I was a graduate student. Alas, after reading these books, I realized that it was indeed
I was young and frivolous, and many of my management methods and ideas were wrong. If you give me another chance, I will never make that mistake again."
"You mean you won't make political mistakes again?" Qin Hai asked, grabbing Song Hongxuan's words.
"No..." Song Hongxuan said. He thought for a while, then nodded: "Similar political mistakes should not be made again. The emancipation of the mind cannot be achieved overnight. The elimination of various old ideas takes time and encourages the development of new ideas.
This approach is not advisable. After several years of thinking and observation, I finally realized that the steps to reform our country are correct, but I, a young boy, am too impatient and reckless."
"Then what did you mean when you said you would never make another mistake just now?" Qin Hai asked.
Song Hongxuan said: "I am talking about some problems in workshop management, such as the placement problem we just mentioned. After studying Mr. Aoki Kameo's theory, I have some new understanding of this problem. If I have the opportunity, I will do it again.
I can definitely do better in workshop management.”
"Haha, so I came to the right place." Qin Hai said with a smile.
Conversations between smart people don't need to be too cumbersome. Song Hongxuan's narration just now has fully demonstrated his abilities, personality, vision, etc. He was once a very outstanding deputy director of the workshop and was proficient in metallurgy.
He has both technical skills and management experience. After years of oppression, he has learned more and his abilities have been greatly improved. He should be able to handle the overall management of the workshop.
What is particularly rare is that he suffered injustice, but did not complain. Instead, he deeply reflected on his own problems, saw the trend of social development, and was full of optimism. In the words of later generations, his emotional intelligence has been greatly improved.
He has been tempered and become a very mature manager.
"Old Song, I am now formally extending an invitation to you to hire you as the workshop director of the open-hearth workshop of the Beixi Special Steel Plant that we jointly established with the Beixi Steel Plant. What are your considerations?" Qin Hai said solemnly.
Song Hongxuan looked calm. He thought for a moment and asked, "What are my responsibilities and how much authority do I have?"
"Your responsibility is to maintain workshop production, wait for opportunities to expand production scale, and achieve the goal of annual production of 200,000 tons of steel. As for authority...how big do you want it to be?" Qin Hai pushed the question to Song Hongxuan.
Song Hongxuan said: "I need to have the right to work, the right to decide my salary, and I have the final say on all matters in the workshop. All relatives, even the brother-in-law of the factory director, must obey my management, otherwise I can always
Kick him out."
"You are planning to establish fascist rule in the workshop." Qin Hai said with a smile.
Song Hongxuan said: "Engels said in "On Authority" that a sentence should be written on the door of the factory: Those who enter the door please give up all autonomy! If there is no authority in workshop management, it will inevitably lead to chaos. For the steelmaking industry
It is said that authority is more important, because any negligence may lead to extremely serious consequences."
"This is what Professor Li has told us repeatedly." Qiao Changsheng finally took the opportunity to speak and interjected. Qiao Changsheng could only understand half of what Qin Hai and Song Hongxuan said just now, let alone half of what Qin Hai and Song Hongxuan said just now.
Participate in the comments. But he has personal experience with the strictness of workshop management. After the resumption of work, Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant has been implementing very strict workshop management regulations, and Qiao Changsheng fully agrees with this.
"Let's set a probation period." Qin Hai said, "Old Song, let's talk ugly up front. Although you are famous, I haven't seen whether you are qualified for the job of workshop management, so I have to give it now.
I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to authorize me. Let's set a time limit of one week. If you show the qualities of a qualified workshop director, then I will promise you to take full responsibility. What do you think?"
"You promise me?" Song Hongxuan was a little surprised, "Don't you need to ask your factory director for instructions?"
"Gong Qin is our factory director." Qiao Changsheng introduced with a smile.
"Such a young factory director?" Song Hongxuan looked at Qin Hai seriously, then sighed and said: "Well, I always thought that I was the only genius. I became the deputy director of the workshop at the age of 22. I never thought there was anyone better than me.
Genius, I think Xiao Qin, you are in your early 20s, definitely less than 22 years old, how could your leader be so open-minded and dare to promote you to be the director of the joint factory? "
Qin Hai laughed dumbly. He admired Song Hongxuan's character of saying whatever he wanted. Of course, this world needs wily people, but Qin Hai hoped that his collaborator would be an open-minded gentleman. He didn't
I like to use conspiracy to achieve achievements too much, but prefer to rely on strength to win and crush with strength.
"Okay, Lao Song, you just told me about your situation. Now let me introduce to you the situation on my side." Qin Hai said. Then, he told him what he had done in the past six months.
Song Hongxuan told the story. Of course, his identity as a time traveler could never be revealed. He just said that he liked reading and studying, so he had mastered some techniques that others had not noticed.
Song Hongxuan was dumbfounded by Qin Hai's story. He had always wanted to pretend to be reserved and calm in front of Qin Hai to protect his self-esteem. After hearing Qin Hai's experience, he was completely convinced and sighed sincerely.
Said: "It's true that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. When I heard that you blocked the train to protect the slag, I just thought you were young and energetic. Now I know that you are confident, so you can be fearless. Compared to
Now, it’s really childish for me to write this kind of request for instructions and ask the province for help.”
"I guess this is a coincidence." Qin Hai quickly said modestly, "How about it, Lao Song, are you willing to cooperate with me now?"
"I'm willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses." Song Hongxuan said with a smile, "By the way, when Liangshan heroes join the army, there is a ritual of bowing before them. My room is too small to do it. How about we go outside?
Can I give Director Qin a big gift?"
"Haha, I can't bear to be ashamed of myself. In the future, we will have to rely on Brother Song to take charge of the affairs of the special steel factory." Qin Hai also imitated Song Hongxuan and started talking about slander.
Song Hongxuan said: "We don't need to say these false words. Since Director Qin trusts me, I won't be coy. Tomorrow morning, I will submit a report to the factory and request to work in the special steel factory. If the factory
After it was approved, I went to the workshop immediately, and we discussed together how to start production. Regarding the workers in the workshop, I suggested that we still have to be selective. We can’t just pick all the vegetables in the basket, and we need to match them with high and low. Everything is not
Experienced young workers will definitely not work. But all of them are senior technicians, so they may not be suitable. Regarding this issue, Director Qin is not as experienced as me."
"Haha, what Lao Song said shows the demeanor of a workshop director. Okay, I'll listen to you on this question. However, we have agreed that in private, we don't have to be so polite. Just call me Xiao Qin.
Okay. From now on, we are all stirring the spoon in the same pot. It’s easier to talk if we call him more friendly." Qin Hai said.
"It's not a problem. Come, Director Xiao Qin, Master Qiao, guests come to have tea and wine on a cold night. Let's drink this cup of tea together and wish our special steel factory prosperity." Song Hongxuan raised his tea cup and spoke with great enthusiasm.
