In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 109: 300 million in eight months, a military order signed in public, is this guy possessed by Xie Wei?

"..."

When Qin Qiuhua heard that it was arranged by the school, he didn't know how to start.

The Wu Tao in front of him was just following the school's arrangements and had no way to change anything.

"Mr. Qin, let's go check if there are any problems with chip production. The remittance slip for the other 500,000 will arrive in the next few days. The school spent so much money just to get the required chips as soon as possible."

Wu Tao changed the subject.

Xie Wei emphasized to him too many times the urgency of chips.

Xie Wei even told Wu Tao that no matter how Factory 14 developed, even if it made losses, it must give priority to the production of the HZ80 general-purpose chip designed by the school.

"Are you going to ignore the cadre election?"

"Why should we care? The people in the factory know better than us who is capable and who is not, who can seek benefits for everyone, and who can make the factory develop. We just need to provide a platform for them to lead by people they choose themselves. If there are any problems in the end, we can't blame the school."

Wu Tao brought out Xie Wei's original words, which instantly stunned Qin Qiuhua.

So irresponsible?
With no other choice, he could only take Wu Tao towards the laboratory, where Yu Guofeng was waiting.

Everyone in the conference room was talking about it.

"So, everyone has the opportunity to become a factory manager!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not that kind of person, otherwise I would have fought for it no matter what!"

"Is Harbin Institute of Technology testing us? They are trying to find the troublemaker and make an example of him..."

Everyone had different thoughts and expressed their own opinions.

It is normal to select cadres from the factory. Most of the middle and senior cadres have slowly climbed up from the grassroots level in their own units.

What the hell is an election?

No one knows at all.

"Director He, what do you think?"

A small voice instantly made the noisy sound in the conference room disappear.

All eyes were on He Kun, deputy director of the integrated circuit workshop.

He Kun, deputy director of the production workshop, is in his early 40s, a college graduate from the s, and a technical manager.

On weekdays, he is considered a thorn in the eyes of senior leaders: he often goes to leading cadres to make suggestions, and even slams the table in front of them when they ask for the replacement of old equipment with new ones. When the leaders refuse, he

No respect for the leader at all.

Sometimes, in order to fight for benefits for the workshop, I often went against the factory leaders.

However, He Kun not only has superb equipment maintenance skills, but also possesses very strong management capabilities. No matter how much the leaders dislike him, they cannot touch He Kun.

Otherwise, he would have been asked to sweep the toilet long ago.

Harbin Institute of Technology asked the Instrumentation Bureau to transfer the middle and senior level leaders, but they didn't want a troublemaker like He Kun, so they kept him to cause headaches for the people in Harbin Institute of Technology.

This gave He Kun a huge opportunity.

"If your superiors give you an opportunity, you should strive for it."

He Kun said calmly.

He was unsure, as he had never heard of this method of selecting a factory manager before.

"Director He, if you run for factory director, we will all support you!"

"Yes, you are the one who is always working for our welfare and working hard for the development of the factory, so you are suitable to be the factory director!"

"We must support Director He as the factory director."

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, everyone expressed their opinions.

When people who had ideas heard that He Kun was going to run for factory director, they had no choice but to give up their ideas.

How to fight?
In the afternoon, as wages were paid, the news of the factory director election spread throughout the factory.

After being shocked, everyone became delighted: this meant that the factory cadres and workers had the opportunity to truly take charge.

Especially after knowing that He Kun was running for factory director, the whole factory was in an uproar.

For some people with progressive ideas, although they have lost the opportunity to get the position of factory director, there are many cadre positions in the factory that they can definitely fight for.

The former factory director Cao Zhong also heard the news when he accompanied more than a dozen personnel transferred from the Instrumentation Bureau to Factory 14 to help transfer their organizational relations.

Without bothering to complete the formalities, he rushed back to the Instrument Bureau and reported the situation to Du Qihang.

"Is the factory director elected through an election system?"

Du Qihang looked surprised.

This is huge news, I have never heard of it before.

I quickly thought in my mind whether this complies with the policy and whether it conflicts with the existing system.

"Director Du, we have to intervene! This is clearly a violation of the rules. Once this happens, it will be difficult to manage other factories."

As the director of Factory 14, Cao Zhong was well aware of the impact that would be had on the existing cadre promotion system if Factory 14 adopted an election system to select the director.

How many years did it take him to become a factory director?
Under the election system, it is even possible to become a factory manager directly from a worker, although the possibility is not high.

"How can we interfere? Factory 14 was allocated to Harbin Institute of Technology of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and it is not in the same system as us."

Du Qihang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cao Zhong.

With a serious look, he warned him: "Don't have any ideas. The Harbin Institute of Technology's School-Enterprise Office is a pilot reform organization with policies supported by the higher authorities. It can be considered autonomous management, right? It has only been a short time since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, and they have already started to take action. They are ahead of us!"

Du Guowang couldn't help but sigh that the country's direction was clear, but the detailed plan had not been released.

No one knows how to do it.

Harbin Institute of Technology has already started implementing it.

"..."

Du Qihang's words left Cao Zhong unable to answer.

Reform pilot!

Supported by superior policies!

Factory 14 is no longer affiliated with the Instrument Bureau and cannot interfere at all.

Not to mention the Instrument Bureau, even the municipal government cannot interfere.

"Look at it from another angle. This is helping all units to explore the way forward. Once the effect is good, we can improve production quality and mobilize production enthusiasm by electing cadres from the factory. Some of our factories with poor performance can follow suit!"

Du Qihang looked serious.

In his opinion, they were too grateful to express their gratitude to someone who had waded through the river for them.

The water in the river was deep and the person who drowned was the Harbin Institute of Technology’s Enterprise Office.

At that time, the technical workers and production equipment can be distributed to other factories.

The water is shallow and there is a bright prospect on the other side of the river. Just wade across without taking any risk.

Why not?
"Tomorrow, we'll go to Factory 14 to see what their election rules are."

······
The Seventh Industrial Bureau of Shanghai Municipality is a department under the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building in charge of local regional units.

At this moment, Director Jiang Pengfei was rubbing his temples while listening to the reports from Qin Qiuhua and Zhu Zhihe.

"Comrade Qiuhua, what do you think?"

After Qin Qiuhua finished his report, Jiang Pengfei directly asked him for his opinion. "Isn't Director Yu from Harbin Institute of Technology here? What does he think?"

Qin Qiuhua looked bitter, "Director Yu is in the lab. He said he doesn't care about this matter and suggested that I should not care about it either."

Du Qihang nodded slightly, looked at Qin Qiuhua, and waited for him to express his opinion.

"If it goes well, that's fine; but if it doesn't go as planned... there's no previous experience to draw on."

Qin Qiuhua expressed his concerns.

Even though Wu Tao explained it to him, in his opinion, the risk was still too great.

Qin Qiuhua had joined Factory No. 14 after graduation, and he didn't want the factory where he had worked for nearly twenty years to be ruined while it was still viable.

"The school has its own considerations, and we cannot interfere."

Jiang Pengfei shook his head.

The school is on the same level as the Seventh Industrial Bureau of Shanghai.

"Director Jiang, the election of factory director does not conform to policy. Once implemented, Factory 14 will cause an uproar across the country..."

Seeing that Jiang Pengfei was unwilling to interfere, Zhu Zhihe spoke anxiously.

Deputy Factory Director Zhu Zhihe was transferred from other factories to Factory 14 by the Instrumentation Bureau.

He thought that when he got to the factory, he would become the factory director.

When he arrived at the factory, he found out that Wu Tao from the School-Enterprise Office did not let him organize the work at all. Instead, he told him that he had to run for the position of factory director openly and gain the support of the majority of cadres and employees!
Zhu Zhihe was transferred from outside and has no mass base at all.

What to do?
It doesn’t matter whether he is the factory director or not. The main thing is that he wants to maintain the employment system that has been in place for decades from being destroyed.

At the moment, it’s too late to find a school.

The only one who could interfere was the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building’s supervisory unit in Shanghai.

"What kind of uproar could it cause?"

Jiang Pengfei's question stumped Zhu Zhihe.

“There is no policy support from above…”

"Why is there no policy support? Two years ago, the superiors called on production units to implement the factory director responsibility system..."

Having said that, Jiang Pengfei paused and glanced at Zhu Zhihe.

Zhu Zhihe was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

I could only smile awkwardly.

"The recent meeting required all departments to reform and open up, but the ministry did not inform them of the specific implementation plan. As a pilot unit for reform, the Harbin Institute of Technology's School-Enterprise Office promoted outstanding talents with potential from within the unit to serve as leading cadres. This is also a reform, right?" "If leading cadres are directly selected from the grassroots, wouldn't the employment system that has been implemented for decades be scrapped? Can inexperienced people do good things in high positions?"

Zhu Zhihe said hurriedly.

"Okay! Let's go to Factory 14 tomorrow and see what happens."

Jiang Pengfei interrupted Zhu Zhihe.

Seeing that Zhu Zhihe was about to say something, he spoke again: "Deputy Director Zhu, if you want to make greater contributions to the country, you should prepare for the election according to the requirements of the higher authorities."

After saying that, he sent the guest away.

"Brother, you have rich management experience. Your only shortcoming is that you have been here for too short a time and don't know the factory well enough. The shortcomings of other candidates cannot be made up in such a short time..."

On the way back, Qin Qiuhua reminded Zhu Zhihe.

Zhu Zhihe had complicated thoughts.

If I had known this earlier, I would not have accepted the transfer order from the Instrumentation Bureau. Now, I am afraid that I can’t even keep my position as deputy factory director, let alone factory director.

Early the next morning.

It was not even 8 o'clock yet, but the auditorium of Factory 14 was already crowded with people.

Many people did not sleep last night.

The people in the auditorium asked the familiar people around them for various news.

Yesterday afternoon, all salaries and bonuses were paid out; the logistics department is also organizing New Year supplies.

I no longer have the same concerns about the new supervisory unit as before.

As long as they can get paid and have funds to upgrade technological production capabilities, ordinary cadres and employees will not care which ministry they belong to.

Every ministry of machinery industry belongs to the state.

When Du Qihang and several leaders of the Instrumentation Bureau arrived at the auditorium at 7:55, Jiang Pengfei and several relevant leaders had already arrived.

Even some people from the city government got involved after hearing the news.

No one is here to stop it.

Several leaders were not assigned seats on the rostrum, but were arranged in the front row close to the rostrum.

There are microphones on two tables on one side, which is different from the layout of previous venues.

8 points.

Wu Tao stood in front of the microphone on time.

"Dear leaders and comrades from Factory 14, good morning, everyone... My name is Wu Tao, director of the Harbin Institute of Technology's School-Enterprise Office... Please allow me to take a few minutes of your time to introduce the Harbin Institute of Technology's School-Enterprise Office to all leaders and comrades..."

Wu Tao briefly introduced the responsibilities of the School-Enterprise Office: to transform the school's technological achievements into products and bring them to market.

Use school technology to enhance the technical capabilities and market competitiveness of partner factories.

Use the factory's production capacity to provide funding for the school.

"Those participating in the election for factory director need to provide plans on how to improve the factory's technical capabilities, production quality, and how to provide more benefits to comrades. Most importantly, how to make the factory profitable!"

"…The school will not interfere too much in management unless there are problems with development. Pilot! As long as it complies with the policy, it will not only receive full support from the school, but also support from the ministry… If you are successful in the election, you will be appointed as the factory director for one year, and if you have outstanding performance, you will be appointed as the factory director in advance."

Wu Tao's words made everyone listen quietly.

These words caused a huge psychological impact on everyone.

"Based on the principles of fairness, openness and impartiality, and witnessed by the leaders of the municipal government, the Instrumentation Bureau and the Seventh Industrial Bureau, comrades who are interested in the position of factory director and want to make greater contributions to the integrated circuit industry can come on stage to introduce your campaign proposals."

The auditorium, which could accommodate more than 700 people, was completely silent.

The leaders sitting in the front couldn't help but turn their heads and look back to see who would be the first to stand up.

"Brother, aren't you going to go up?"

Tan Qiuhua knew what Zhu Zhihe was thinking.

The other party was looking forward to taking the position of factory director, but he did not listen to me last night and went to find Wu Tao or Yu Guofeng, so I don’t know how he is preparing.

"Wait, let's see what other people's rules are first."

Zhu Zhihe shook his head.

Whoever comes to power first will be more passive.

Once the campaign plan is announced, those who come after can directly borrow it even if they are not well prepared.

Later on, we can also propose improvement measures based on the reactions of the people below.

No one came on stage for a long time.

Just as Wu Tao was secretly complaining in his heart that Xie Wei was giving him bad advice and was preparing to find a way to change the situation, a man in his early forties stood up.

"Wow~"

Warm applause broke out.

He Kun walked towards the podium amid applause. Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, his heart was beating like a drum and his legs were shaking.

But he had to persevere.

If we can seize this opportunity, we can allow Factory 14 to change and develop according to our own ideas!
It even developed into the first integrated circuit factory in the country, realizing his decades-long dream.

"Dear leaders... comrades... good morning, everyone."

He Kun's voice trembled.

Looking at the slightly trembling He Kun, Wu Tao sighed silently. He was obviously not optimistic about this middle-aged man who had no experience in speaking in front of many people on the stage becoming the factory director.

Although he himself felt guilty in such a situation.

Decisively use applause to encourage He Kun.

"Pah~pah~pah..."

"Wow~"

"Director He, come on!"

"come on!"

Led by Wu Tao, all the workers in the factory applauded loudly and even shouted "Come on!"

Looking at He Kun on the stage, Zhu Zhihe shook his head silently.

No pressure!

"Hello everyone... My name is He Kun, deputy director of the circuit workshop of Factory 14..."

After taking several deep breaths, He Kun spoke again.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the people below the stage, and suppressing the fear deep in my heart that had never been on stage before, my condition became better and better.

"Before, I was thinking that if I could become the factory director, the first thing I would do is to overhaul the entire factory production line. The production workshop uses a mixture of advanced equipment from electron tube production equipment to large-scale integrated circuits... Many of the equipment have long been outdated, seriously affecting production quality and efficiency..."

Hearing this, Cao Zhong looked at Du Qihang beside him with a complicated expression.

Because of this issue, He Kun blocked him several times and even slammed his desk.

He has also approached relevant leaders many times, hoping to get funding to update the equipment.

Unfortunately, the Instrument Bureau has no money.

Du Qihang acted as if he didn't notice Cao Zhong's gaze and said nothing.

"Tsk! Which factory is not like this? Electron tubes also have production plans and the market has demand. If the equipment is eliminated, Factory 14 will immediately fall into losses!"

Zhu Zhihe said disdainfully.

Even though he doesn't know much about Factory 14, he is clear about the overall situation of the integrated circuit market in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

A lot of equipment from the fifties is still functional.

Yu Guofeng, who had rarely participated in factory affairs, looked at He Kun on the podium in surprise. This guy was somewhat similar to Xie Wei.

Could it be that someone gave him some advice?
"Secondly, the factory relies on the scientific research strength of the school to train scientific researchers to organize research on the lack of technology and develop products that meet market demand; train a marketing team to actively seek market opportunities and take the market as a guide..."

He Kun's condition is getting better and better.

At this time, he didn't even care about being excited and revealed the plan that he had thought of countless times in his mind.

"If the higher authorities trust me and let me be the factory director, I only need to provide 4 yuan of equipment renovation funds before April. With the current products of the factory, I am confident that I can provide the higher authorities with 80 million yuan in profits by the end of next year! For this, I can issue a military order!"

8 months, 300 million profit!
Everyone was in an uproar.

"Impossible! In 78, the entire factory only made a profit of over !"

Cao Zhong was the first to jump up.

This guy He Kun is just talking nonsense.

As long as there is 80 yuan for equipment transformation, it can create millions of profits based on the existing basis. If you run a train on your own, you will also show your incompetence.

As a former factory manager who just left office, how could I tolerate this?
"Director Cao, I have come to you many times before and analyzed for you why our factory's production quality is so low... The most advanced equipment in the factory is the GK-3 semi-automatic lithography machine, and the latest equipment supporting this lithography machine was produced in 72 and can only be used for ion implantation machines for small-scale integrated circuit manufacturing... If all the equipment in the entire production line is upgraded to the level of GK-3, our yield rate will be at least 30%..."

At this moment, He Kun no longer showed the tension he had before, and even seemed a little aggressive.

Cao Zhong wanted to say something but was stopped by Du Qihang.

"Leaders, I dare to guarantee it with my personal future and even my life. Didn't the school propose a one-year acting period? If it cannot be achieved, I will leave it to the higher-ups to deal with!"

He Kun simply gave it a go.

"What the hell are you arguing about?"

Zhu Zhihe wailed inwardly and didn't even have the courage to go on stage: No matter if he was bragging or not, he dared to make a military order in front of everyone in the factory and many leaders, guaranteeing to create a profit of 8 million in 300 months!
Who else dares to guarantee it?
"Is this guy possessed by Xie Wei? He was nervous and apprehensive before, but now he makes such a bold statement in front of so many people..."

At this moment, Yu Guofeng discovered that He Kun, with his proud face on the podium, was so similar to Xie Wei when they put forward their goals!
Could it be that the last time Xie Wei came here, He Kun received guidance from Xie Wei?

The more Director Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

"Uh, Comrade He Kun, you go down and rest first."

Seeing the complete silence in the auditorium, the dumbfounded Wu Tao quickly came to his senses and said, "Any comrades who are running for the position of factory director, please come up to the stage..."
