Chapter 18: Water source dispute and embarrassing plain factory

The days of Plain Factory are not as good as before.

Originally, the returns of military-industrial enterprises were relatively stable. The military placed orders and the factory was responsible for raw material procurement, scientific research and development and production. Employees only needed to complete the quota tasks step by step. Anyway, they were working with their wages, and they could not stand or starve to death. If they could live, they could still save some money.

But over the past few years, times have changed and everything has changed.

The international situation is basically very good. Although there are occasional minor frictions on the border, the Soviet Union has just disintegrated, and the situation in Eastern Europe is a bit chaotic, peace is still the main tone. The national leaders have a far-sighted vision and have seen that developing the economy is the main task for a long time in the future, so the direction of work has a focus, so national defense investment can be considered to be slightly compressed.

Especially for the navy, we are not the ocean navy. We are taking the road of near-shore defense and are not willing to do aircraft carriers. Torpedoes or other things are not useful, so military-industrial enterprises like Pingyuan Factory can only maintain an inventory-level order. Pingyuan Factory's military products workshop is in a state of nothing to do for half a year.

As for the private goods of the plain factory, the single-player and small-scale recording and playback projects developed at that time have gradually shrunk, and the technical threshold of air humidifiers is too low, and there is no longer the hot situation of the past. At this time, the factory's production transfer work can be said to be a mess. Several senior managers are not interested in business, but they go to the department all day long, either thinking about transferring to the headquarters or developing in the coastal area.

In this environment, you can imagine the life of the Plain Factory.

Therefore, after the discovery of mineral water in Malan Village, people from the Plain Factory began to think about it. The investment is not large and can be done in one workshop. The investment is low and the return is high. Who doesn’t want to do such a thing?

Therefore, the plain factory began to get involved with Malan Village on the land issue. They mean that you have occupied our land for nothing. They are all the land of the country. Since we can't use it now, it's okay to let you farm for the time being, so I won't care about renting or something. But now that I have found mineral water and you don't have the ability to develop it, our plain factory will naturally take it as a matter of no reason.

However, the Plain Factory's policy on Malan Village is still very relaxed, and she doesn't mind hiring temporary workers from their village to work in the mineral water plant under construction, which can be regarded as helping the villagers get rid of poverty.

But the people in Malan Village don’t do it! It’s obviously the water source we discovered, why should you get the big head? Since you also admit that the land belongs to the country, then we are still part of the people. Why can’t we develop mineral water by ourselves? One more person means one more mouth. If we hand over the water source to the plain factory, isn’t that equivalent to throwing the money in our pockets out?

In short, the villagers in Malan Village have agreed on their opinions, that is, I open this mountain and I plant this tree. No one can think of it unless they invest! People from the plain factory can't enter the village at all, let alone develop mineral water projects.

"When did this happen?" Fan Wubing scratched his hair, thinking that the rock is really a poor mountain and a bad water, and he can always do such annoying things.

Originally, Fan Wubing was not willing to take care of Pingyuan Factory, but unfortunately, Pingyuan Factory is also in the territory of Panshi. Although due to institutional reasons, these large state-owned enterprises are not inferior to local governments, but when something goes wrong, they have to go to the municipal government to cause trouble first. In order for his father Fan Heng to worry less, Fan Wubing still has to give his father some ideas and solutions.

"The incident that happened more than half a month ago may have been temporarily put on hold because of the Chinese New Year. It is probably going to cause us a headache for a while after the Chinese New Year." When it comes to this matter, it is not only Fan Heng who has a headache, but also several other relevant leaders are helpless.

It was a good thing to find mineral water sources with opportunities to make money in the local area, but everyone was jealous of money and wanted to fight for it. Don’t they know that even if there is a national dispute, they should put aside disputes and develop together?

In short, these people really have no overall view!

However, Fan Wubing still has a way to do this. After thinking about it, he asked, "When did the establishment of Malan Village be established?"

"It only happened in 1974 during the Cultural Revolution." Chen Jinnan knew this matter more clearly. He knew a little about the son of Fan Heng's family and knew that he was a powerful person. So he explained, "At that time, the neighboring province had flooded and many people fled to famine. The villagers and villagers were stationed in this area. Later, hundreds of families were developed, and such a village was formed."

Fan Wubing asked again, "In this matter, do you tend to help there?"

How do you say this? Everyone's expressions were a little unnatural. From the government's standpoint, of course, they hoped that fiscal revenue could be intercepted locally. Therefore, it is best to build a mineral water plant from Malan Village. Not only can political achievements be calculated on their own, taxes will not be lost.

But this is not easy to say publicly, otherwise the plain factory will not make a big fuss after hearing it? Although the taxes of the plain factory have been basically handed over to the national finance and the local government will not be able to get benefits, it is also amazing for these employees to cause trouble. Everyone still remembers the scene of glass factory employees making trouble before the New Year.

If the plain factory wants to make trouble again, their number will be four or five times more than that of the glass factory. What's more?

Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward. Seeing this, Fan Wubing knew it and said with a smile, "It's the New Year, and I haven't brought back any good things to you, but there are two photos for everyone to see."

Photos? Everyone was stunned. Your photos have something to do with us?

However, everyone still laughed and said, Fan Wubing took out the two large photos he had rolled up and unfolded them. Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

Several large photos were taken by two people, one of which was naturally Fan Wubing, but the characters who took photos with him were amazing! The No. 1 leader suddenly took photos with him twice, and a deputy prime minister, state committee member, and several leaders who often appeared on the news broadcast also took photos with him. Everyone looked smiling and looked happy.

Looking at the background, it was the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base. Thinking of the fact that the leader of the No. 1 appeared at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base yesterday and witnessed the first large-scale communication satellite launched by my country's Changer bundle, everyone immediately looked at Fan Wubing with admiration.

You should know that although the leader No. 1 also took photos with people, there is not no choice. How can idle people have the qualifications? Moreover, the location and time of the group photo are worth pondering. The Jiuquan satellite launch was yesterday, and it was able to take photos with the leader No. 1 as soon as possible, and it was in a base where idle people could not see it. Fan Wubing's ability is really too great!

Everyone felt that Mayor Fan was really a powerful person with great hands and eyes.

Chen Jinnan was even more jealous. He would not be able to enjoy this treatment. If Fan Heng had this opportunity in the future, you should know that Chen Jinnan's biggest goal is to survive in the position of the department level until retirement. If he could go further and take the position of the deputy provincial level, it would be the best. However, based on his current level, it is estimated that the department level will come to an end.

An official at the department level wanted to take a photo with Chief No. 1. The opportunity was not short, but it was slim.

Fan Heng was a little dissatisfied with Fan Wubing's ostentatiousness, and said with a stern face, "Why are you showing off these things if you have nothing to do? Pack up your stuff and follow me to the Plain Factory later."

Fan Wubing nodded. Anyway, the purpose of pulling the banner and making a tiger skin for his father Fan Hengzhuang's voice had already been achieved, so he naturally had no intention of fiddling with these things, so he agreed.

The group visit is just a little meaning, so that everyone can go to visit New Year’s greetings from door to door, which affects normal work. After that, if everyone has any ideas, it will naturally be a small arrangement. For example, if anyone wants to make progress, he will definitely visit the Standing Committee members of the city one by one.

After the dispersion, Fan Wubing got into his father Fan Heng's car, went home first, put down his things, and drove straight to the plain factory. Their factory was also having a group visit. As long as the employees were not involved in any major issues, they basically had to go to the workshop and greet each other in their respective departments for a while. According to the practice of previous years, they still had to send some red envelopes. Although the money was not much, it was the factory's thanks to everyone who had been busy all year round.

Those who do not attend the group visit naturally cannot receive red envelopes. Because of this, today is also a more active day for employees to come to the factory.

Fan Heng has been here several times recently, mostly with his superiors when inspecting work. Therefore, the guard suddenly recognized the mayor's car and opened the door early. At the same time, he also used the phone number from the duty room to notify the factory staff on duty.

In this way, after Fan Heng's car entered the factory, a large group of people came to welcome the factory directors, deputy directors and chief engineers who were visiting each workshop and department one by one.

"The mayor has worked tirelessly and came here to greet everyone in person. It's really touching!" The current factory director is Li Mingjiu. He is no longer the group of people who were Fan Wubing back then, but was transferred from a subordinate unit of the headquarters. It is said that there are people above.

Chief Engineer Ma Qing is still the old man in the past, which is enough to show that the factory manager is a relatively relaxed position, while chief engineer is not capable of any one.

After symbolically walking around several workshops, having a cordial conversation with a few old employees who had worked with them, and then saying a few words of encouragement to everyone, Fan Heng and others came to the small conference room of the factory department.

Although the current situation of the Plain Factory is not very optimistic, the foundation it has been built in the past few years is relatively strong. Although the factory manager has been changing in recent years, everyone is busy running for office and squandering many resources, the factory department is still in good condition, especially the conference room, the standard is not low at all. The leather sofa costs several thousand yuan per set. Fan Wubing glanced at it and there were dozens of sets of sets in the room, not to mention other furnishings.

In this kind of place, leaders and middle-level cadres use it. Ordinary workers will probably never have any chance to come here to see each other in their lifetime.

Li Mingjiu is still 47 or 8 years old. He was promoted from the personnel department head of a machine tool factory in the headquarters. He first went to the headquarters and served as the director of a new technology development department, and then fell directly to the plain factory as the factory director. The level was promoted very quickly, and the main hall was changed. How many people were scrambling to the head but there was no chance of this.

Therefore, Li Mingjiu did not have much respect for Mayor Fan Heng. After all, they were directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry, and they were independent in terms of water and electricity, and there was no need for local governments.

"Mayor Fan, if the Chinese New Year had not been delayed, I was going to go to the municipal government to ask you for an explanation." Li Mingjiu laughed impolitely as soon as he came up.

"What explanation do you want?" Fan Heng asked with a frown.

Fan Heng has also been in contact with Li Mingjiu several times. Overall, he feels that this person is a bit arrogant and does not take the local government seriously, as if the entire plain factory belongs to his family. In fact, Li Mingjiu does regard the plain factory as his own private property.

The employees in the factory have been complaining to the department recently, saying that Li Mingjiu had embezzled state-owned assets, but they were all suppressed. Once, Li Mingjiu even pointed at the nose of a few people at the conference and cursed, saying that there were people above him and he was not afraid of anyone going to report.

It is easy to have problems when being arrogant to this point. Some veteran cadres in the Plain Factory are disgusted with Li Mingjiu's actions. Since the department cannot be understood, they simply run into the municipal government and find Fan Heng to reflect this problem.

Originally, Fan Heng couldn't care about these problems, but who told him to be transferred from the deputy director of Pingyuan Factory? These people shouted one by one, writing Li Mingjiu's affairs into materials for Fan Heng to see, hoping to reflect these things through him.

Fan Heng also felt a headache about this. He really couldn't get involved in the matter in the factory. In the end, he could only write a situation description, then sort out the materials and send them to the department, and then it was like a rock sinking into the sea.

It is said that after these materials were repeated, they came to Li Mingjiu's hands again. Some people also said that this guy paid no less than 500,000 yuan to a leader above every year, so he was so arrogant. Although there is no evidence of such rumors, it would not be groundless. Otherwise, why would the ministry be so indulged in Li Mingjiu's affairs?

Li Mingjiu naturally knew that these materials were delivered by Fan Wubing, so he must have opinions and jealousy about Fan Heng. Although the two of them are both department-level officials, they are local tyrants, and they are in charge of millions of people in four counties, which is not comparable to a factory manager who is in charge of four or five thousand employees.

But Li Mingjiu also has a reliance, that is, his business is not managed by the local government and does not need to give Fan Heng a lot of face. For example, today, he suddenly expressed his dissatisfaction in front of everyone.

"Not only does Malan Village occupy our industrial land, but now it will take over water sources. There must be a notice in the city. The current situation in our factory has been not optimistic. One big problem is water shortage! If this matter is not solved, the employees are unwilling to work and delay military product production tasks, and the impact will be very bad. When the factory director submits a report to the top, he will inevitably complain a few times!" Li Mingjiu said to Fan Heng with a smile.

When Fan Heng heard this, he frowned and was in a very bad mood. Do you think I am willing to care about your bullshit things?! However, the matter in Malan Village is indeed a bit troublesome. The main problem is that the land is indeed industrial land for plain factories. This principle cannot be denied wherever you go.

But if you admit this, how should hundreds of families in Malan Village arrange it? It's really a headache.

Fan Heng's original idea was to persuade both parties to jointly develop it, but now Li Mingjiu's treatment of mineral water sources has changed a little. He planned to sell the water sources directly, and the reason given to workers was to develop new products. It is said that it is a cash machine tool equipment that can make the equipment of the plain factory reach the international advanced level in the 1980s!

This is simply a fool!

Is the international advanced level in the 1980s still of any practical significance for the embarrassing plain factory?
