Chapter 411 Can't give up halfway
After Song Hongjun drove his aunt home, he turned the steering wheel and went straight to the south of the city and chased him to the Donghua Hotel.
Song Hongjun walked into the room and saw Chen Bing, Chu Qiang, Shao Zheng, Chen Tong and others all there, while Chen Huai was sitting on the sofa in the corner, talking on the phone with someone. From his solemn expression, he was further aware of the details of the accident in the Municipal Steel Group.
Meigang has close ties with the Municipal Steel Group. All of the senior executives of Meigang, such as Zhao Dong, Xu Xiting, Pan Cheng, Xu Wendao, etc., were born in the Municipal Steel Group. Meigang can basically get news as soon as possible if there is any disturbance in the Municipal Steel Group.
Chen Huai and the others had already known the details of the steel bundle dump accident that the Municipal Steel Group concealed two months ago.
However, from the central government to the local government in 1995, I did not attach great importance to production safety. The domestic production management of heavy industry enterprises should be relatively relaxed, and the status of the Safety Supervision Bureau in China is still relatively low. Concealment of accidents such as this is relatively common in the local area. Even if it is reported, it will not be taken seriously. Only major production accidents with more than ten people who have died or injured, which have a serious impact, will be severely held accountable.
Seeing Chen Huai put down the phone, Song Hongjun asked, "Will Tan Qiping fall into trouble this time?"
Song Hongjun had no feelings for Donghua and the Municipal Steel Group. It was unrealistic to ask him to be sad for the workers who were injured and killed in the accident.
People are always cold. Tens of thousands of deaths in traffic accidents across the country every year. If you are sad about other people's will, you will never be sad.
Song Hongjun was more concerned about whether this accident would cause Tan Qiping to disrupt his position, and even felt gloating. It was a normal mentality.
However, Chen Huai worked in the casting workshop where the accident occurred for four years. Among the eleven people who died in this explosion accident, he even recruited three of them into the casting workshop with his own hands.
Some emotions were in my chest, and Chen Huai couldn't tell anyone else.
Seeing that Song Hongjun was concerned about the blow to Tan Qiping this accident, Chen Huai put down his microphone and briefly introduced the details of the accident to him and Chen Bing and others:
"In the second half of the year, the casting workshop of Shigang received an order for large steel castings for casting water turbine rotors of Shangjiang Hydropower Project. The gross weight of these steel castings is more than 80 tons, and it is very difficult to use the technology of four tanks of combined pouring, which is more than the current technical level of Shigang. However, Shigang Group's profitability in recent years has been very poor. Whether Shigang can have money to pay workers by the end of the year depends mainly on the order situation of the casting steel workshop. With such a large order, Shigang is unwilling to give up from top to bottom, and takes the order and organizes production. The entire order task is less than one-third. The workers on duty during the day complete the accident. In the casting, the middle class started casting the lower ring. At 8:26, a blowout accident occurred. The cause of the accident has not been determined, but when the blowout occurred, more than 30 staff gathered in the controlled area of the Jiaotao site. The supervision personnel of the Party A were taking photos directly opposite Jiaotao. At that time, the accident occurred, the flames were engulfed. Now the death toll has exceeded 11 people. The province sent Luo Chenghui and Chen Baoqi to set off from Xucheng and rushed to Donghua to deal with the follow-up matters. Moreover, two months ago, a fatal accident occurred in the municipal steel plantation. At this time, people were reported to the province and they would be held accountable..."
"Over the years, the officialdom of Donghua can be said to be changing. Gu Tong has always been a tumbler. I don't know if he can stand firm this time." Chen Bing sighed softly.
After Xiong Wenbin, Gu Tong took over the city steel factory. Since the city steel group was reorganized, he still firmly grasped the power of the city steel group and did not allow them to be involved. From a deputy division-level official at the beginning to a member of the municipal party committee, a member of the municipal CPPCC standing committee, a vice chairman, and a member of the provincial CPPCC, he can really be said to be a tumbler in the officialdom of Donghua.
However, this vicious production accident and the concealment accident two months ago, the city has no way to urge Gu Tong to take responsibility. However, this time, Gu Tong is taken down and charged, and give a brief explanation for this vicious production accident. How to maintain the production and operation of the Municipal Steel Group?
Chen Huai was trapped in the sofa and said, "Gu Tong has been in the city steel for many years and is deeply rooted. Almost all the people who excluded him and were not valued have jumped out of the city steel. Almost all the management of the city steel, including the management sent to the joint venture steel mill, are Gu Tong's direct descendants. This time the city wants to take Gu Tong down and rectify the production and operation order of the city steel group. The city steel will be paralyzed for a period of time, and this paralysis, and I don't know if the city steel can get up again..."
Except for Song Hongjun, the others in the house knew a lot about the situation of the Municipal Steel Group.
The problems of the Shigang Group are much more serious than those exposed on the surface, as if a big ship with serious problems and slow action cannot withstand the blow of the storm. This accident is likely to be the catalyst for the complete destruction of Shigang.
As the largest Donghua Municipal enterprise, the Municipal Steel Group has more than 7,000 working and retired employees. In addition to mainly engaged in steel casting and steelmaking affairs, it also has more than a dozen tertiary companies, which include the upstream and downstream enterprises, and involves a wider range of involvement. Once the Municipal Steel Group collapses in this attack, the impact on Donghua City will be much more serious than this vicious production accident.
"Will the city ask Meigang to take over Shigang?" Chen Bing thought of a possibility and asked Chen Huai.
Chen Huai thought silently for a moment before saying, "Tan Qiping may not bow his head, but the Municipal Steel Group is involved too wide. How to deal with the Municipal Steel Problem, the Municipal Standing Committee will inevitably have differences. However, Municipal Steel is a mess and it is difficult to take over..."
"Since the city steel is a mess and the bones are empty, it's better to go bankrupt and liquidate it directly." Song Hongjun said.
"The stall is broken and rotten, but the city has covered this mess over the years. It is also a star enterprise that is piloting the reform of the state-owned enterprise in Donghua. How could the city take the initiative to expose these lies? Another thing is that the destruction of the Municipal Steel Group involves tens of thousands of employees and the city will never dare to act rashly," said Chen Huai. "According to your and my ideas, cutting the mess quickly is the best way, but it may not work in the city; let's watch it."
Chen Huai is still unable to accurately judge what kind of far-reaching impact will the entire situation of Donghua? Some things need time to ferment.
But now it will only make Tan Qiping more confused, so he just stands aside and watches.
"If something like this happens, I think they will not force you to make a review and resign from Mei Gang's position, right?" Song Hongjun asked.
Tan Qiping is now disrupting the sudden accident of Shigang. Even if Chen Huai does not bow his head and admits his mistake, he will not have any trouble with Chen Huai again. Moreover, they are not sure what impact the sudden accident of Shigang will have on the situation in Donghua, and it is even more impossible for him to come and force Chen Huai again, causing many questions.
"No, I will go back to Donghua in two days. I must do a review and Mei Gang's position. I still want to go to Yushan for a while," Chen Huai smiled and said, "Since I bowed my head and admitted my mistake, there is naturally no reason to give up halfway."
Song Hongjun curled his lips, Chen Huai did not intend to reconcile with Tan Qiping.
Chen Huai asked Song Hongjun again: "You are here, where are your sister-in-law?"
"We should go back to bed. She will get up early tomorrow to catch the plane," Song Hongjun said, "What else do you have to ask her?"
"I hope my sister-in-law will serve as the chairman of Huaineng." Chen Huai said.
"Why?" Song Hongjun asked in confusion.
Song Wenhui was already the executive vice president of Southeast Power Construction Group at this time. Her goal should be to take charge of the work of Dongpin, rather than to serve as a management position in a lower-level enterprise.
"The old man talked to me alone in the afternoon. I didn't really hope that we would be eager to stand on the table now. I think the old man should have talked to my sister-in-law about these things," said Chen Huai. "In addition, I learned some information about the reform of the Ministry of Electricity. Wang Yuan's proposal was to abolish the Ministry of Electricity and form a State Grid Company. If Wang Yuan's proposal could not be changed, then Dongdian would be seriously weakened when the Ministry of Electricity was reorganized. My sister-in-law also knew this possibility, but she had not yet made up her mind to go..."
"You mean Dongpin will be transformed into a second-level enterprise that is purely responsible for power infrastructure business?" Song Hongjun asked.
"After the establishment of the State Grid Corporation, the second- and third-level enterprises and local power management departments will inevitably make large-scale adjustments according to the nature of the business and the region. Dongdian was established to serve the local power infrastructure in the six southeastern provinces and cities. Once reorganized, this goal will be strengthened, and other businesses and assets will likely be divested and distributed to other ministries and commissions, or directly taken over by local governments. But at the same time, after the provincial power management departments reorganized the provincial network company, they may not be willing to give up the infrastructure business, which will eventually lead to the strengthening of the provincial network company. Dongdian was severely weakened as a whole, or even finally sacked and removed," said Chen Huai, "I think that instead of dragging it to the end and asking Dongdian's other businesses to be forced to be divested, it would not be possible to actively carry out business divesting and strengthen Huaineng Group. On the other hand, this can also actively cater to the general direction of the Ministry of Electric Power Reform and seize some initiative..."
"I have to ask my aunt to have a good chat with Dai Chengguo," said Song Hongjun. "The situation of the Ministry of Electric Power can still be maintained now, but Wang Yuan is the natural candidate for the next prime minister. At the latest, when the government changes its boundaries in 1998, the Ministry of Electric Power wants to not restructure, and it is afraid it will be difficult to delay it."
When Huaineng Group was first established, after accepting a small part of the assets divested by Dongdeng, the registered assets were almost 400 million. Huaineng Group seemed to be a huge figure in Donghua City, where economic development was relatively lagging behind, but it was insignificant when it was placed under the background of the entire Ministry of Power.
In 1995, the total number of state-owned enterprises across the country exceeded 110,000 from the central government to local governments, and the total asset scale reached more than 30 trillion yuan.
The Ministry of Electric Power, including local power grids and power generation assets, has a total asset scale of up to hundreds of billions of yuan, more than one million cadres and employees, and a total assets of only 400 million to 500 million, is insignificant in the Ministry of Electric Power.
However, looking at the background of the entire Ministry of Power Reform, Huaineng Group still has some achievements; Southeast Power Construction Group still has billions of assets that are not related to the power infrastructure business to be divested.
If this part of the assets and business can be obtained, Huaineng Group will grow rapidly.
The dark feeling of the Shen Huai Dynasty in the next 20 or 30 years, the country will always focus on local construction and economic development, and the upper-level struggle will be slow and rush. There is no good chess in the central government to play. It is better to endure it, avoid the turbulent undercurrents of the upper-level, and compete for more on-site.
