Municipal Party Committee Secretary Qin Song has been very busy recently. The province held a meeting on industrial restructuring some time ago. Relevant leaders criticized several backward counties and cities, including Jiangbei City. After Secretary Qin returned from the provincial capital, he held several meetings in a row.
At a meeting, it was decided to speed up the pace of industrial adjustment and use Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant as one of the pilot projects.
Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant is a long-standing troubled enterprise in Jiangbei City, with heavy burdens and poor efficiency. Although there have been signs of revival recently, according to the analysis of relevant experts, it is just a return to the past. This kind of backward production capacity and polluting enterprises are the most vulnerable to industrial adjustment.
A good target, packaged and sold to the Xuanwu Group as a whole, it can not only complete the tasks assigned by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, but also develop the economy of Jiangbei and achieve leapfrog development. It can also return a favor to the relevant leaders, so why not do it.
After Qin Song's predecessor, Li Zhian, stepped down due to an investment scam, some people in the province wanted Hu Yuejin to take over the position of municipal party committee secretary. After some games, Qin Song finally took over, and Hu Yuejin only became the mayor.
Qin Song naturally understands the mystery inside, and now that it's finally time to repay his kindness, he will naturally do his best.
Xuanwu Group's situation was a little ugly. Less than a month after it took over, it closed the Hongqi Steel Plant. Thousands of workers had no food to eat. They petitioned collectively and blocked the doors of the municipal party committee and government for several days. Provincial petitions
The office also forwarded many letters of report, reporting that Xuanwu Group had engaged in fraud in the acquisition of Hong Kong Steel. Everyone scorned such covert behavior, but had no choice but to pay attention to it.
Some time ago, workers at the Hongqi Factory caused trouble and injured more than a dozen Xuanwu security guards, five of whom were seriously injured. The public security organs intervened in a timely manner and arrested more than 30 people responsible. However, the situation did not get better. Instead, it became more and more serious.
As the pace of industrial adjustment in the province accelerates, the entire dismantling and relocation of the Hongqi Steel Plant has also entered the countdown stage. However, at this critical moment, a part of the leadership of Hongqi Steel encouraged workers to resist the reorganization by various abnormal means, which has disrupted the industrial structure of the province.
The process of adjustment.
At the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, Secretary Qin made a statement that this abnormal trend must be curbed and resolutely crack down on the illegal production of red steel. Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Wang Daqing, Propaganda Minister Yin Weihong, Organization Minister Yang Yihe and the new Political and Legal Committee
Secretary and Municipal Public Security Bureau Director Han Si Qingdu expressed his firm support for Secretary Qin’s proposal and supported the Xuanwu Group’s reorganization and relocation through legal means.
It is worth noting that Mayor Hu Yuejin reserved his opinion.
As early as the day before yesterday, the Xuanwu Group's demolition work began, mobilizing more than a dozen excavators, forklifts, dozens of dump trucks, and hundreds of workers and staff to conduct a surprise demolition of the production area of the Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant. However,
The operation was obstructed by thousands of Red Steel workers, and the situation intensified. After receiving the report, the municipal party committee and government quickly launched an emergency plan and dispatched personnel from relevant departments to the scene to coordinate and provide relief, but the effect was not obvious.
There are 5,000 workers in Hongqi Factory, plus a large group of retired workers and spectators. Nearly 10,000 people gathered in the factory area, surrounding the demolition team of Xuanwu Group. Mu Lianheng, who led the team, called Chen Runing for help. Chen Runing
Then he found Director Li from the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Director Li happened to be doing research in Jiangbei City. After receiving the report, he immediately held a coordination meeting with the main leaders of the municipal party committee. Finally, Secretary Qin made the decision to mobilize the Anti-riot Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Mobile Squadron of the Jiangbei Armed Police Detachment.
As well as hundreds of police officers from the Chengdong Branch, they rushed to the Hongqi Steel Factory to try to nip this mass incident in the bud.
The anti-riot brigade and the mobile squadron rushed to the scene quickly, but there was nothing they could do. Production was still going on inside the workshop, and there was a circle of retired workers outside. They could not be beaten or scolded. They were helpless and could only ask their superiors for instructions. District leaders came.
In order to solve the problem, the deputy mayor in charge of industry came, but it could not be solved. The leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission came, but to no avail. In the end, Secretary Qin and Mayor Hu were alerted to several major leaders.
When Secretary Qin arrived, Hu Yuejin had already arrived first. Mu Lianheng, the commander-in-chief of the on-site demolition, gave the leaders some brand-new helmets to put on. Then everyone unfolded the map in front of a car and listened to Chen Runing, the president of Xuanwu Group.
Report.
"This is the steelmaking workshop of Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant. There are three oxygen top-blown converters built in the mid-1980s. They are backward production capacities that the provincial party committee and the provincial government have designated must be eliminated. However, the workers continue to produce inside, and they are confused.
Help the elderly and frail retired workers guard the door. Our demolition team cannot enter, and the public security officers cannot enter. This is the situation. We also ask the city leaders to come up with a policy." Chen Runing briefly introduced the situation at the scene.
Read it again.
Secretary Qin frowned: "Who organized the workers inside to resist the demolition?"
"It's Wei Shumin, the vice president of Hongqi Factory and a deputy to the Municipal People's Congress." Hu Yuejin interrupted.
Secretary Qin nodded: "I have heard of this name. Her qualifications as a National People's Congress representative have been revoked. Let's start a dialogue and strive for a peaceful and proper solution to the problem. If that doesn't work, we will use necessary means."
Several leaders talked about it and decided to let Vice Mayor Sun go to talk to the workers on behalf of the organization. Vice Mayor Sun was ordered to do so at the critical moment. He put on his safety helmet and was about to go inside. Secretary Qin stopped him again and told him: "Principle
The issue must not be compromised."
Vice Mayor Sun nodded firmly and left in an awe-inspiring manner. He came back angrily fifteen minutes later and said, "There are huge differences and we cannot reach a consensus."
Secretary Qin asked: "What do they want?"
"They require Xuanwu Group to completely withdraw from the Hongqi Steel Plant, Hongqi Steel to independently choose its partners for reorganization, and Xuanwu Group to compensate for the losses caused by blind demolition."
"Absurd!" Secretary Qin rolled up his sleeves.
Mayor Hu remained calm.
The temperature today is very low. The outdoor temperature is minus ten degrees. The policemen wearing riot armors are shivering with cold. The armed police soldiers are also stamping their feet. Under their big-brimmed hats, their young and immature faces are red with cold.
, and the retired workers standing opposite them were even worse, shivering with cold, but no one took a step back.
Mayor Hu returned to his special car and said to his secretary: "Go and prepare several large pots of ginger soup. There are so many elderly people, and they might freeze to death."
A gust of wind blew by, and the frail secretary couldn't help but sneeze. Hu Yuejin turned around and looked around. Outside the workshop, there were walls of people like copper and iron walls. His death-defying eyes and flowing white hair made people feel heartbroken.
"The people are not afraid of death." Hu Yuejin sighed softly.
Next to the command vehicle, Secretary Qin consulted with Director Li, Chen Runing and the Chief of Staff of the armed police team, and seemed to have made some decision. Hu Yuejin hurried over and Qin Song said: "Old Hu, in order to avoid the situation from getting worse,
I think it’s better to take compulsory measures.”
Hu Yuejin said: "Secretary Qin, have you really considered the consequences?"
Qin Song patted Hu Yuejin's shoulder and said earnestly: "Old Hu, sometimes you have to make a choice."
"Okay, I will continue to reserve my opinion. I have only one request."
"you say."
"Don't use police equipment." Hu Yuejin looked at the people standing in the cold wind.
…
The whistle sounded, and the armed police mobile squadron lined up to prepare for action. The officers of the riot brigade also picked up their shields. Wei Ziqian held Liu Ziguang's arm tightly in the distance: "Oh no, they are going to rush in, and my mother is still inside."
, you hurry up and think of a solution!"
Liu Ziguang was also anxious, but this situation was far beyond his ability. He was so anxious that he wisely said: "Do you know there are other entrances to the steelmaking workshop? Let's go in and protect Mr. Wei."
"I know, come with me." Wei Ziqian and Liu Ziguang hurried towards the north of the workshop.
Anti-riot team members wearing black armor formed a wedge-shaped impact formation, put down their helmet masks, raised their plexiglass riot shields and walked forward, followed closely by soldiers from the unarmed armed police mobile squadron, and behind them were Xuanwu
The group’s demolition team.
The retired workers, who had stood in the cold wind for a long time without taking in water or rice for a long time, were already exhausted. However, when they saw the police launching an attack, they still tried their best to form a human wall holding hands to prevent the enemy from breaking in. The anti-riot team members maintained great restraint.
He used his body and shield to squeeze out a path, and in an instant it was blocked again, opened up again, and blocked again. Repeated several times, the gate of the steelmaking workshop became a tug-of-war, a dark place filled with people and chaos.
The oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking workshop is the most important production department of Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant. The main workshop consists of a converter span, a pouring span, and a charging span. Here, charging, blowing, steel tapping, slag tapping, refining, casting, and flue gas recovery are completed.
For purification and other processes, the auxiliary factory building is composed of auxiliary spans and auxiliary spans. The factory building is majestic and magnificent, with towering chimneys. However, all entrances are welded shut, making it impossible to enter. Wei Ziqian took Liu Ziguang around in a circle, his head full of anxiety.
Even the Great Khan could not find the entrance.
At this time, there was a noise at the gate, and time was getting tighter. Suddenly Liu Ziguang pointed to a window five meters high and said, "Go in from there."
"It's so high, are you crazy?" Wei Ziqian's eyes widened.
Liu Ziguang didn't say anything. He took a few steps back and then accelerated, kicked his feet on the wall a few times, and even grabbed the window lattice. His movements were as agile as an ape in the jungle.
Before Wei Ziqian could react, Liu Ziguang had already hung his head on the golden hook and stretched out his hands to her: "Jump!"
It was so high that Wei Ziqian couldn't reach it. Liu Ziguang took out his belt and pulled out a buckle. Wei Ziqian tried several times and finally caught the belt buckle.
"Hurry up!" Liu Ziguang roared, and Wei Ziqian felt dizzy. His whole body seemed to be flying, and he sat on the window sill in an instant.
Here is the pouring bay, where a huge gantry crane operates back and forth, transporting ladles containing molten steel out of the converter span. Countless workers are waiting in the workshop, their faces red with the hot molten steel.
