As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.
But for the refinery, everything is difficult and everything goes wrong.
Early the next morning.
Cao Weidong yawned and walked into the refinery.
I saw Fan Hongxing pacing anxiously at the door.
After meeting Cao Weidong.
He came over immediately.
Report to Cao Weidong the first problem encountered after the refinery started working.
No equipment.
Cao Weidong woke up immediately and asked in surprise:
"Where is our equipment?"
"It was moved away."
Fan Hongxing said aggrievedly.
Cao Weidong:.......
He was completely speechless.
Why didn’t you talk about such a big thing yesterday?
Fan Hongxing shrank his neck.
Said sarcastically.
"Yesterday, everyone was busy eating and forgot about it. Today, everyone only remembered it when they got to the workshop."
Cao Weidong sighed.
The employees probably haven’t eaten meat for several months.
It’s rare to have a meaty meal.
So excited.
This is also excusable.
He waved his hand.
I don’t plan to delve into it further.
Asked instead.
"Then tell me, what exactly happened?"
Fan Hongxing spat, his face full of resentment.
"This matter actually has a lot to do with Factory Director Wang..."
As mentioned last time, the former director of the refinery borrowed a lot of money from his brothers in the county in order to maintain his own expenses.
The refinery was once a key assistance project in the county.
The sign was hung up by the former county magistrate himself.
Therefore, the factories in these units all trusted Director Wang and donated money generously.
But Director Wang didn’t do anything serious after taking the money.
Except for a small amount that was divided among the employees, most of the rest was spent by myself.
As the saying goes, spend money for a moment of pleasure, but pay back the crematorium.
When it came time to pay back the money, Director Wang simply couldn't come up with the money to pay back the debt.
The factory directors who borrowed money will naturally stop working.
It just so happened that yesterday a hardware factory blocked the door to collect debts.
Factory Director Wang was also pushed and had no choice but to ask them to take away more than half of the production equipment to cover the debt.
This incident was the trigger for the workers to get together to make trouble yesterday.
After all, the equipment is there.
There is still hope for the refinery to come back to life.
But now even the equipment has been sold off by Director Wang at a low price to pay off the debt, and the refinery is completely bankrupt.
Cao Weidong was shocked by Wang Changzi's boldness.
This guy is really sincere, and he really dares to do some things.
At this time, Cao Weidong also remembered that he had indeed heard a few words yesterday.
"Okay, I understand this."
Cao Weidong asked Cui Hongxing to go back and appease the employees, and he turned around and went to the county party committee compound.
Explain the situation to Magistrate Diao.
Diao Heze became furious after hearing this.
"This Wang Yuan is really messing around. He almost bankrupted the refinery without borrowing money."
"Comrade Cao Weidong, I know about this. You can go back and wait for the news."
Cao Weidong turned around and left the county party committee compound.
He just stepped into the factory.
A group of people came in behind carrying a lot of machinery and equipment.
The leader is a shrewd bearded man.
He has a strong back and a strong body, and is a head taller than the people around him.
At this moment, his beard and forehead were covered in cold sweat.
If the county magistrate's secretary had arrived a little later, the equipment brought from the refinery would have been torn into pieces.
It will be difficult to end it then.
The bearded man directed the employees to put the equipment back to its original position, and then he walked into Cao Weidong's office inquiringly.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, this is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. The whole family no longer knows each other. If I had known that you were at the refinery, how could we dare to come to ask for debts?"
He kept nodding and bowing, his attitude was very low.
The onlookers were stunned for a while.
Are these still the same arrogant group of people yesterday?
Why are you so good today and just follow...
Yes, just like a grandson!
The workers at the refinery felt like they had eaten honey.
I feel happy.
Look, this is our factory director, he has a good reputation!
Cao Weidong was stunned and asked with some doubts.
"Do you know me?"
The bearded man said with some embarrassment.
"I was also at the scene when you directed the fire fighting, and I was right next to you."
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."
"My name is Wei Kaicheng, and I am the director of the hardware factory. My second uncle is Wei Hongyang, who was the captain of the fire brigade at that time."
Cao Weidong remembered it immediately.
He is the fire officer and soldier who is particularly responsible and rushes to the front line for almost everything.
Cao Weidong was in awe.
"It turns out that your uncle is Comrade Wei Hongyang. In fact, Comrade Wei also made great contributions. If it weren't for his active cooperation, the mountain fire would not have been put out so smoothly."
Wei Kaicheng waved his hands repeatedly.
"My uncle said that he just listens to orders, and you are the one who is really capable."
Cao Weidong did not continue the discussion on this issue.
He handed over a cigarette, and after roughly understanding the situation in Wei Kaikai's factory, he said.
"It's not easy for you, either. But there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. If you borrowed money, you should go to Factory Director Wang to ask for it. I support this."
"Oh, by the way, he is no longer the director of the factory. He has not yet taken a temporary position. He is just an ordinary cadre. You can ask the county magistrate to help you."
When mentioning this matter, Wei Kaicheng also looked angry.
"You're right, we'll go find that damn fat guy named Wang when we get back. Damn it, you deceived me so hard!"
Send this group away.
Cao Weidong ran to the workshop and took a look.
Then he kept shaking his head.
These equipment are really old.
And judging by the style and the nameplate text on the machine, it should be that Mao Xiong supported China back then.
This is quite old.
Moreover, after this transportation, the equipment will inevitably be bumped and bumped.
Cao Weidong even doubted it.
Can these devices still be turned on?
Fortunately, Cui Hongxing is here.
He was tinkering here and hammering there.
I really got this grandpa machine running successfully.
Cao Weidong sighed.
The machine is running.
But relying on this thing to produce oil is unreliable.
No wonder no one wants it.
The foundation of the refinery is not good.
In fact, Cao Weidong has a complete set of technologies for natural gas extraction, liquefaction and filling in his mind.
These are precious treasures.
It's a pity that there is no equipment.
Moreover, oil refining also needs to be replaced with new equipment.
But purchasing equipment costs money.
And it’s still a big expense.
So where will I get money from?
Cao Weidong also thought of borrowing.
But his solution is to raise funds.
Strictly speaking.
The modes of financing and borrowing money are the same.
But the meanings of the two are completely different.
Financing is to use limited resources on hand to attract others to invest money, and then use other people's money to make the cake bigger.
Finally, everyone lined up together and divided the fruits.
Although the idea is rich, the reality is a bit skinny.
Where should we attract investment?
Fuxiang County was the first one he excluded.
It's so poor here.
There is no money at all.
Then Wan'an County was also excluded by him.
Wan'an County is currently making every effort to develop the terminal and service area, striving to make the service area a famous brand of Wan'an County. There is simply no excess funds to support the refinery project.
After much thought, he seemed to have only one choice.
Magistrate Wang of Mu County.
Cao Weidong's eyes lit up.
He found an envelope from the drawer, wrote down the situation, and then sealed it.
The matter is more complicated, so it is more appropriate for others to write letters.
After doing all this, he was still a little unfinished
After thinking about it, I wrote another letter to Secretary Huang of the Municipal Party Committee explaining the situation
And asked him to forward it to comrades in the Ministry of Petroleum on his behalf.
The so-called Ministry of Petroleum.
The full name is the Ministry of Petroleum Industry.
It mainly guides domestic oil exploration, oil development, oil processing and basic raw material production.
In the past life, there were two giant industries with Chinese prefixes in the energy market, which were inextricably related to this sector.
Cao Weidong doesn't know anyone from the Ministry of Petroleum.
He wants to try to use Secretary Huang's relationship.
See if we can take the lead in setting up a line with the leading cadres of the Ministry of Petroleum.
After doing this, before taking a break, Jiang Xiaozhi and Nan Guobao ran in together.
The expressions on his face were extremely anxious.
Cao Weidong sighed.
Sure enough.
Where there are crouching dragons, there must be phoenix chicks.
I just don’t know what problems they are going to give me this time.
.......
Cao Weidong took the time to seal the envelope with glue, affix a stamp, and then looked at the two of them.
"Tell me, what's the problem this time?"
Jiang Xiaozhi and Nan Guobao looked at each other.
Jiang Xiaozhi said.
"Let me talk first, director, I'm here to apply for expenses."
"We have established a factory, and our logistics must keep up. The planned materials allocated by the county this year have been used up, and I have to go to the countryside to collect some."
When Cao Weidong heard this, he immediately became happy.
He is least afraid of lack of supplies.
There are a lot of these things in my portable space.
If the supply is opened up, he can feed these workers for several years.
Cao Weidong waved his hand and said.
"Don't bother me. I've already arranged the unplanned supplies. You can just bring someone to pick them up in the evening."
Jiang Xiaozhi is a little unbelievable.
Confirm again.
"Director, there are more than a hundred employees in our factory. How many unplanned supplies can you bring in by yourself?"
Cao Weidong said calmly: "There are many, by the way, remember to call a few more people."
"That's...okay."
Jiang Xiaozhi is doubtful.
He plans to bring only two people with him
If you are in trouble, just bring a trolley.
He estimated that his factory director would only be able to bring in a few kilograms of meat and dozens of kilograms of grain, and he would be enough.
Jiang Xiaozhi was sent away.
Cao Weidong looked towards Nan Changfeng again.
"What about you? What's the matter?"
Nan Changfeng said.
"Director, something bad has happened. The troops said they no longer want the oil from our factory."
Cao Weidong was stunned.
If he remembered correctly, the refinery now only has one purchasing unit, the garrison force.
If they are no longer needed, the refinery will have no business at all.
Cao Weidong frowned.
Things are actually easy to handle.
Commander Ma, the top person in charge of the garrison troops, values himself very much.
I heard from County Magistrate Wang that the other party was giving him medals and rewards.
Just say hello to him and the matter should be resolved.
But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.
Cao Weidong still wants to hear what the problem is.
Nan Changfeng sighed and told Cao Weidong the whole story.
In fact, it is a very clichéd story.
A convoy is refueling here.
Not long after we walked out, the Jiefang truck lay down on the spot.
The driver checked for a long time.
Finally, it was determined that the problem occurred in the fuel.
So I grabbed someone and ran over to ask for an explanation.
This is how things escalated.
After the troops found out, they decided to temporarily stop purchasing the refinery's products.
