1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 98: Iron Chain Across the River (2)

The huge hidden dangers of the Mo Mo Bai Zha project not only made the young players in the management guidance team panic, but also made their backers feel overwhelmed.

In just less than two days, the heads of the Industrial and Agricultural Department, Service Brigade, Asset Management Department, and General Manager's Office held three consecutive small meetings... The Finance Department did not attend these meetings. The special nature of the Finance Department did not allow their core personnel to attend such informal meetings.

Although due to the cause and effect, no solution has been found to fundamentally solve the problem, but the method of "covering fire with wet paper" has been figured out.

They have different standpoints, different positions, and different demands. They don't need to really revive the project, they just need to let the project survive smoothly until the end of the year... This year is the time for a change of leadership, and the results will be out by the end of the year at the latest. As long as Manager Wang steps down smoothly, the Mo Mo Bai bomb project can naturally take the opportunity to collapse, and then naturally put the blame for the failure on the "former general manager".

Just when everyone was planning to make further efforts, carefully deduce the connection and coordination process of various means, and strive to cover this hole tightly...

An accident happened.

On the third day, in the small conference room of Xintai Management Company, Section Chief He of the Service Brigade was taken away directly by the Discipline Inspection Section, leaving behind only the other three department heads who were still in shock.

As expected, just half an hour later, the three department heads appeared in the offices of each other's direct supervisors and whispered for a full hour.

That afternoon, two deputy general managers of related vertical fields (Deputy General Manager Shen, who was in charge of industrial and agricultural business, was not among them) knocked on the door of the general manager's office with great anger.

Even a fool could see that this was Wang Yinuo's work. Although the Discipline Inspection Department was a sword with a very special nature and was very useful, Wang Yinuo's behavior undoubtedly broke the rules of the game.

Anyone with a little experience knows that sometimes if you want to make progress, it requires not only ability, not only connections and supporters, but also the initiative to hand over a satisfactory piece of black material so that your friends have the means to restrain you at critical moments.

For example, the fishing tackle store in the company was one of the small pieces of black material that Section Chief He handed over with good reason… Based on the basic rule of fighting but not breaking, if one day, Section Chief He and his friends were defeated, and he was one of the happiest people in the group, then this fishing tackle store would naturally be useful. As a loser, he should have the awareness of a loser, and even if Section Chief He was severely punished for this, he would not have any complaints.

But the game isn’t over yet!

Everyone was playing chess within the framework rules, but you, Wang Yinuo, suddenly made such a move without any warning. Who could bear this?

Today you struck Chief He at the root of the problem without any reason or warning. Will this knife be used on me or the other vice presidents tomorrow?
Will you still follow the rules of the game in the future? ?
But when the two vice presidents angrily pushed open the door of the general manager's office, the scene before them made them speechless.

It’s not that there was any horrible scene in Wang Yinuo’s office;

This CEO Wang, who is known for his elegance, did not set up a torture chamber in his office and beat people to a bloody pulp with a barbed whip as shown in TV dramas;
When they saw them come in, a group of armed soldiers did not jump out of the room and point guns at their heads.

There were just two more guests in Wang Yinuo's office.

These two guests, like Wang Yinuo, were equally elegant and easy-going, and they also had warm smiles on their faces.

But there is something a little different...

The two guests, who were about forty years old, were wearing dark blue woolen civilian clothes.

On the right chest of the People's Suit, there is a small, round red badge...

………………

It has to be said that as a central enterprise in the oil system, Wang Yinuo still has some face, even if he is just the general manager of a lower-level production unit.

After exchanging a few casual words, the two guests smiled and temporarily left the general manager's office... Although this was because the two deputy general managers had no causal relationship with this trip, the significance of allowing guests dressed like this to leave a brief space for communication can be imagined.

"Here... this is why Section Chief He was summoned by the Discipline Inspection Department... Not only Section Chief He, but also several regular employees in charge of procurement in the service brigade were summoned as well."

Contrary to his usual style, Wang Yinuo's tone was a little cold at this moment. After throwing a thick stack of information in front of the two of them, he turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Obviously sensing that today's events were beyond their imagination, the two vice presidents looked at each other, then reached out to pick up the document bag and opened it.

Suddenly, a large stack of information mixed with documents, newspapers and photos appeared in front of them.

As they flipped through the documents one by one, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads...

………………The first piece of information was a document with red letters. They were very familiar with this document, which was a document jointly issued by the three ministries of Planning, Economy, and Light Industry in 1985.

It clearly designated 20 state-owned units in more than 42 provinces as "designated production enterprises" for refrigerators, and emphasized the need to "balance between various sectors" - the content of this document and the meaning of that sentence are understood by those who understand.

………………

The second document was a rough-edged version of a major newspaper in the capital. An interview report circled in red was extremely eye-catching... They were also required to study this interview report from last year, so they were not unfamiliar with it.

The gist of it is this: a cadre surnamed Zhou from the Ministry of Light Industry responded to a reporter’s question: “With Jiangnan as an example, non-designated refrigerator manufacturing companies in various places took advantage of the vacuum created by the state’s regulation and control, and developed rapidly, making high profits through a large number of inferior products, causing losses to consumers and the state… This is a short-term behavior. The state’s implementation of designated factories is considering the issue from a higher perspective. In the long run, it is good for consumers, the refrigeration industry represented by refrigerators, and the development of my country’s light industry!”

Although these words are said in a reasonable manner, coupled with the sudden tightening of rectification efforts in all walks of life since last year, everyone can understand the signal sent by these words.

………………

The third piece of information is a stack of photos.

The first group of photos: A group of farmers who had just put down their hoes stood beside a series of mottled beds, dismembering a pile of waste AC contactors purchased from state-owned enterprises across the country, and then polishing them with sandpaper and shoe polish;

The second set of photos: The riverside docks were crowded with groups of village women, who were cleaning baskets of electrical appliances, and then spreading the cleaned appliances out on the riverbank to dry in the sun... If it weren't for the obvious difference in the shapes of the objects, outsiders would definitely think they were drying sweet potatoes.

The third group of photos: In the dilapidated and dark earthen house, beside the stove with red fire, old ladies with dim eyesight are cooking while slowly turning the enameled wire.

The fourth group of photos: In an electrical workshop with garbage and spare parts all over the floor, a thin man is carefully replacing the quartz sand of a fuse with rice husks; then he uses rusty iron sheets instead of silver to serve as contacts for a relay.

Seeing this, a vice president took a breath of cold air... As a manager with a technical background, he certainly knew what this behavior meant.

He knew that counterfeiting had been rampant in the past two years, but he never imagined that these people would be so desperate to make money... Unlike clothes and shoes, industrial products like electrical appliances, if there are serious quality problems, it can cost lives!

I quickly flipped through the photos at the back, and sure enough, they were all photos of inferior products being passed off as good ones, with tricks and sly moves being made during the refurbishment and assembly process... The intelligence of the Chinese people is fully demonstrated in this regard.

Judging from the appearance of these people and the types of waste they process, if nothing unexpected happens... this should be Wenzhou, the most famous of the three major counterfeiting centers.

………………

Looking down, the fourth piece of information, as expected, contains several pieces of news, and these are big news that were just released not long ago.

On Xth day of Xth month, due to leakage of inferior electrical appliances purchased, a serious gas explosion occurred at Jixi Coal Mine in Heilongjiang Province, killing and injuring many workers;
On Xth day of Xth month, a steel company in Henan was completed. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, a bag of molten steel was about to be poured, but it suddenly got stuck, and products worth millions of yuan were scrapped... Upon investigation, it was found that it was all caused by counterfeit low-voltage electrical appliances.

………………

The fifth document is another red/head document.

Unlike other documents, this is a separate document, and it is unprecedented. It was issued by the cabinet specifically for Liushi Town... Even if you don't know that period of history, you should be able to guess what the content of this unique document is.

When seeing that seven departments were about to set up a joint inspection team to be stationed in Qingle County and start inspecting and handling related matters... even a dumb person would know how determined the country is this time and how wide the impact of this incident would be.

………………

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, a vice president carefully sealed the stack of documents back into the bag, and then asked anxiously: "Did Mr. He... step on the high-voltage wire this time?"

Wang Yinuo nodded expressionlessly: "Of the 540 freezers purchased for the Momo Baizha project, 310 were purchased from a township enterprise in Shanghe... I don't need to emphasize how dense the distribution center in Shanghe is, right?"

!!! ???

Hearing the word "Shanghe", the two vice presidents' faces suddenly turned ugly...
