Chapter 55 Rectification (2) There must be a team to do things
(Second update, please vote for red, please collect)
Chen Huai asked Xu Xiting again: "Yesterday there was a worker named Hu Zhigang who performed very actively. What does XCMG think of him?"
"Oh, he is the backbone employee of the electric furnace steel workshop and the deputy team leader of the slab continuous casting section." Xu Xiting was worried that Chen Huai was not familiar with the technical terms in the steel industry, so Chen Huai just nodded and asked him to continue talking.
"Although Hu Zhigang graduated from a technical secondary school, he is just a person who is willing to use his brain to do things. He is a little too motivated and has little to do with the management in the workshop. Otherwise, it would be no big problem to be the leader of the continuous casting section." Xu Xiting carefully evaluated Hu Zhigang and did not say too much.
To rectify production, after all, someone needs to be able to use it. Not many of the previous management teams could stay, and most of them had to be replaced. At this time, what Chen Huai lacked the most was people, people with ability and motivation.
Chen Huai could naturally hear what Xu Xiting’s comments about Hu Zhigang, but he never thought that the thorny staff who were aggressive and unpopular with the leaders was really bad.
Employees like Hu Zhigang are the catfish that Chen Huai needs to be able to stir up water. It would be better to use your brain when doing things.
He has a secondary technical secondary school degree in 1993 and has become a deputy section chief of the city's steel mill workshop based on his own ability, which shows that his level in all aspects is above the level; taking the lead in causing trouble yesterday shows that he also has prestige among ordinary employees; if there are any shortcomings, he can be strengthened in the future.
As for Xu Xiting disliked Hu Zhigang a little bit, Chen Huai didn't care.
Xu Xiting is 45 years old this year and is a college student who graduated from Huaihai Mining University in the middle of 60 years.
He is thin and looks unfavorable. He has criticized and criticized wrongly in the 1970s, and is conservative and cautious. He obviously doesn't like young people who are too aggressive and have a sharp edge. Chen Huai thought to himself: Maybe Xu Xiting also disagrees with his actions yesterday?
Hu Zhigang quickly came to the factory with a set of clean work clothes and safety helmets. There were all a group of big men, and Chen Huai changed his work clothes directly in the conference room, feeling a little fat.
Chen Huai was as tall as Hu Zhigang, but his figure was not as strong as Hu Zhigang. He put on his safety helmet and said to Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong:
"We'll go directly into the factory and talk while looking."
Chen Huai said to Hu Zhigang who was leaving again,
"I am currently going to pick one or two outstanding young employees from the two workshops and departments of the steel mill to temporarily serve as my special assistant. XCMG just mentioned the electric furnace steel workshop and recommended you. Would you like to be my special assistant? Of course, this is just a temporary position and there will be no additional salary."
Hu Zhigang couldn't understand what the position of "special assistant" was, but he thought about it and knew that "special assistant of factory director" could not be a bad job even if it was temporary, even without an extra salary.
The factory has three main production lines, with a total of 500 front-line workers, and only three to six special assistants. It can be said that it is as scarce as the workshop director.
Hu Zhigang led the team employees to cause trouble, which was dissatisfaction and anger at the current situation of the steel mill, but it did not mean that he was unwilling to participate in changing the current situation of the steel mill.
Yesterday, when I heard Chen Huai's inspiration and ordered his words, Hu Zhigang was also excited for half a night and didn't sleep well. Unexpectedly, he got up early today and rushed to the factory. When he met Chen Huai, he immediately got such an important opportunity. It was really a matter of early birds eating insects, so he naturally nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then we will go directly to the electric furnace steel workshop..." Chen Huai said.
Chen Huai cannot kick all the management away immediately, and he cannot hold a staff meeting in a hurry before finding out the details of the steel mill, so the existing management must use it temporarily.
However, in order to ensure that the existing management does not secretly cause trouble or deliberately passive work, Chen Huai plans to select a group of outstanding employees from the grassroots and various departments who have prestige, ability and motivation among the staff cadres, and form a temporary quasi-management composed of "special assistant of the factory director" to ensure that the steel mill can operate smoothly during the transition period and prepare for the formation of the new management.
On the way to the production area, Chen Huai communicated his ideas with Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong:
"I will lead this temporary special assistant team directly, but I have to ask XCMG to check for me, Zhao Dong, you have to play a core role in it - I will ask someone to prepare a dormitory for you two in the dormitory building. During this period, you two will have to nail it to the factory like nails. What do your sister-in-law and Mingxia have to have any opinions on this? You say hello to me..."
Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong both smiled.
Hu Zhigang followed behind and felt excited after hearing this.
It is obviously unrealistic to say that it will be dragged to the staff meeting and then exchange the management team through a competition. What role will the upcoming temporary special assistant team play and how important it is to those who can enter this team? Hu Zhigang can already fully understand it...
Chen Huai said to Zhao Dong again: "City Steel Factory, you recommend those two engineers. If they have not changed their minds, please ask them to come and interview XCMG. If there is no problem, start with a special assistant and first touch the foundation of the steel factory. Other people who are willing to work in Meixi are indeed capable and of good at work, and they cannot be put into important positions at once, but I can promise to double the salary from the city steel factory..."
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng were a little hesitant before, but after knowing what happened yesterday, he touched my door at night and met XCMG..."
"XCM has seen them all," Chen Huai was very familiar with Xu Wendao, recommended by Zhao Dong, and Pan Chengdu, but he could not show that he was very familiar with them. He still pretended to respect Xu Xiting and asked, "XCM thinks they can win the role of a special assistant..."
"They were all college students brought out when Xiong Wenbin was the factory director. They were capable and qualified, and were also grassroots backbone in the city's steel mill." Although Xu Xiting did not know why Chen Huai trusted Zhao Dong so much, he had to admit that Chen Huai was very accurate in picking people, including Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao and Pan Cheng were the most promising talents at the grassroots level of the city's steel mill. Unfortunately, they were not reused in the city's steel mill.
"XCM agrees, that's fine," Chen Huai turned around and ordered Zhao Dong, "You can inform them later to come to see me directly at the factory..."
Zhao Dong, Xu Wendao, Pan Cheng and others, as college students of 80 years in China, have the skills, know management, and have rich grassroots experience, but they are not valued in the city steel mill. It can be said that they are straightforward, principled, and uncompromising.
In society, these people can be said to be not smooth enough and do not understand the worldly world.
However, a modern large enterprise is truly suitable for production management, and only these people who are persistent in character and do not compromise.
Only such people can do their management meticulously and truly create valuable contributions to the company.
The overall environment in Donghua City is not good now, making it difficult for these talents to succeed, and there are no high-level foreign capital or joint ventures to provide them with employment channels for them to flow in. This is also good. Chen Huai thought of bringing them to Meixi, and the resistance would be smaller. Otherwise, with such a broken factory as Meixi, why should first-class talents be invited?
It was at this moment that Xu Xiting had a deeper understanding of Chen Huai's decisive decision.
Of course, this has a direct relationship with Chen Huai's tough attitude that forced the mayor to bow his head yesterday.
If he is not afraid of the steel mill collapse now, even if he cleans up the entire management of the steel mill, no one dares to say "no". What's more, he is just asking three truly capable people from the city steel mill to join the quasi-management team?
What kind of lion leads what kind of team?
Even though Xu Xiting is a conservative and cautious person, his passion for doing something is pouring out at this moment.
***************
The electric furnace steel workshop where Chen Huai, Xu Xiting, Zhao Dong and Hu Zhigang went is the most important and core production line of Meixi Iron and Steel Plant at the moment.
Unfortunately, the line runs very poorly.
Due to the lack of technical strength and serious lag and rigid management, almost 70% of the production capacity potential of this line has not been realized.
With two forty-five-ton electric arc furnaces as the core, plus pre-treatment, refining furnace, slab continuous casting machine and other process equipment, plus the front, middle and back sections of furnace materials, billets and steel warehousing site, the entire production line has been paved with more than one mile.
Standing in front of the second door of the production area, looking at the steel corridor connecting the production and the towering furnace, the courage of the modern steel industry is fully displayed in front of you.
Unfortunately, this picture has its own appearance, and it is full of fragility.
When Meixi Iron and Steel Plant introduced the continuous casting production line of electric arc furnaces, it was the peak period for domestic township enterprises. Due to various stimuli, counties, towns, including Donghua City, decided to start the advanced technology that matured in the early 1980s abroad, regardless of whether it could be digested.
The cities and counties have provided strong support for loans, and they have loaned nearly 50 million yuan from multiple banks at one time. Before 1990, Donghua City did not have such a great support for township-level enterprises, which is extremely rare in the whole province.
As a technical backbone, Chen Huai was seconded to Meixi Iron and Steel Plant and participated in the three-month equipment installation and debugging. He was very clear about the situation of this line.
Even in the past three years, the technical level of this production line is still first-class in the country.
It’s a pity that no matter how sharp the magic weapon is, no one who can use a knife will be in vain.
This production line requires 120 to 200 qualified professional workers to run and achieve a high productivity level of 300 tons of steel per capita per year.
Nowadays, Meixi Iron and Steel Plant has invested nearly 300 front-line workers on this line, but only Xu Xiting has a few professional engineers who truly understand technology, and the management of production safety is quite lagging behind.
In the face of severe production safety pressure, Xu Xiting's cautious attitude did not dare to fully increase production capacity.
Chen Huai talked with Xu Xiting and Zhao Dong for a long time at the factory office. Now he has arrived at the production area and is very close to working hours, and front-line workers have also arrived at work one after another.
After experiencing yesterday's incident, front-line workers are in high mood, but being in high mood may not necessarily make things right.
Chen Huai walked into the slab casting section. The production line was not running yet. There were less than half of the workers who could wear work clothes, labor protection shoes and safety helmets according to regulations. Some even stood in front of the machine wearing cotton slippers, and cigarette butts were lying on the ground in a pan. The plates and equipment were piled up in chaos, and the ground was covered with oil.
Xu Xiting could feel that Chen Huai was good at production management because he was locked and did not say anything, but every time he glanced at him, he was a serious defect in production management. Although Xu Xiting was not responsible for production management, as the deputy chief engineer, he would also be promoted to Chen Huai as the general manager of the entire factory's technology. There was still a pressure invisibly that made him unable to breathe.
After several deputy factory managers arrived at the factory office, they knew that Chen Huai had been in the factory for a while in the morning and did not dare to be careless. They also checked for any loopholes, so they rushed to the electric furnace steel workshop to meet with Chen Huai.
Seeing several deputy factory managers entering the construction section, Chen Huai stood in front of the rolling mill, watched them come over, and said to one of them: "As a manager, you must first follow the production rules and regulations meticulously. You, go and hand over the resignation report to my office..."
After experiencing yesterday's incident, who dares to be careless in front of Shen Huai?
Before they entered the factory, they checked each other to make sure there was nothing wrong with Chen Huai before coming over. However, they thought that as soon as they saw Chen Huai, they accused him of not complying with production rules and regulations and forced him to resign?
The deputy factory director who took Chen Huai out in public and forced his resignation was stunned and his face turned red. He had no idea what he had made a mistake.
