Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Chapter 449 Meeting

The leaders of the steel mill must be unhappy that they have to hold a meeting so close to the end of the working day.

But the person who convened the meeting this time was Secretary Meng, the real head of the steel rolling mill.

It’s just that we usually don’t express our opinions when there’s nothing to do, but now that he has taken the initiative to propose a meeting, we must all come.

Within five minutes, all leaders at the department level and above in the steel rolling mill came to the conference room.

"Secretary, except for two comrades who are out on business, everyone else is here. These are the plans I just copied. Do you think we should start now?"

"Well, let's start." Secretary Meng did not waste time. After knowing that everyone was present, he went straight to the point.

"Comrades, the main reason we have urgently gathered you here is to discuss the issue we discussed in yesterday's meeting: how to mobilize the workers' enthusiasm for production and better engage in their work.

Today, our technical department has presented me with a relatively feasible plan. Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, and Chairman Su, please take a look at it first.

When Yang Aiguo heard that the plan came from the technical department, he still felt a little disdainful. Not only him, but everyone else had the same idea.

After all, how can a group of people who only know how to deal with technology and machines every day know how to mobilize people's emotions?

This major is not suitable.

After the three of them took a quick look, their eyes immediately became serious.

This plan seems to have something in it?

After reading it carefully, a hint of surprise appeared on the faces of several people.

"After you finish reading it, show it to everyone and then give your opinions."

After more than ten minutes, the whispered discussions faded away.

"Section Chief Han, this was done by your technical department. Why don't you explain it to everyone?"

Han Daguo raised his eyebrows and said, "After I issued the meeting spirit in the Technical Department yesterday, the comrades in our department were very worried and wanted to make a contribution to our factory.

Just this morning, a comrade from our department witnessed two workers arm wrestling during their break in the forging workshop, which gave him a lot of inspiration.

I returned to the Technical Department and discussed with other colleagues to come up with this plan.

Of course, we are technical people, so our plan is definitely not perfect. I hope you can give us some pointers.”

Everyone smiled and said nothing about this polite remark. "You, Han Daguo, can't tell good from bad, and Secretary Meng can't tell either? If it wasn't a good thing, would he have taken the initiative to call a meeting?"

The head of the Publicity Section said with a smile, "Chief Han, you're really too polite. At least no one in our Publicity Section has come up with this plan yet."

The other leaders gave him some mild compliments.

But this was obviously not what Secretary Meng wanted to see. He looked at Yang Aiguo and asked, "Director Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Aiguo was suddenly called out, but he was not panicked at all. "I think this plan is feasible to a certain extent, but if we just decide on it like this, isn't it a bit hasty?"

"It's reasonable and reasonable."

"The factory manager is right. After all, we're in the technical field. Planning a sports event for tens of thousands of people all of a sudden, no one can guarantee there won't be any problems."

Listening to the speeches of several section chiefs, Li Huaide sneered in his heart. Old Yang was still too cautious and didn't dare to take drastic measures. It was clear that Secretary Meng had made up his mind, so how could he not support him?

This wave of advantage is mine!

The head of the Publicity Department, noticing Li Huaide's gaze, immediately said, "That's wrong."

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Section Chief Wang said earnestly, "Comrades, have you ever planned an event for tens of thousands of people?

No, the most our factory does is arrange activities for tens of thousands of people like paying salaries and improving food.

There is no comparison with this sports meet.

So we have no experience, but even though this plan isn't perfect, we still have us. If we put our heads together and work together, can't we win the Games? "

Papapa

Secretary Meng was the first to clap his hands, followed by Li Huaide, and then the whole conference room burst into applause.

"Section Chief Wang is right. We leaders are not here to sit back and do nothing. We can't just hold meetings and vote, then leave everything to other comrades.

Then what else do we need to do?

Although this plan is not perfect and there are many areas that can be improved, so what?

We can work together to make this sports meeting the first workers' sports meeting in our city and make it a model!

We should be role models for other factories, rather than waiting for them to take action and then going to learn from them. We should let them learn from us!"

Secretary Meng's true intentions are revealed, and his meaning is very clear. This time he wants to do something big!

Li Huaide was the first to respond, "I support Secretary Meng's approach. If we can come up with a fairly comprehensive plan, I believe the higher-ups will definitely support us.

They will also support us on some matters, and it is better to do it sooner rather than later. If other factories get wind of this and submit their proposals before us, then we won’t be able to get exposure.”

Since Li Huaide expressed his stance, it meant that at least half of the leaders of the steel rolling mill had expressed their stance, plus Secretary Meng, Han Daguo, and Li Weiguo who expressed his support as soon as he heard about the technical department.

This matter is basically settled.

Yang Aiguo had no choice but to raise his hand. He didn't feel unwilling at all. After all, this was a good thing for the factory. The only regret was that this plan was not made by him.

Seeing everyone raise their hands to vote in favor, Secretary Meng smiled. "Section Chief Wang, please ask the Publicity Department to come up with a comprehensive plan for this matter as soon as possible. If there's anything you don't understand, please go to the Technical Department and ask. Section Chief Han, please cooperate with the Technical Department on this matter."

"Yes."×2

"The same goes for other departments. They can actively participate and raise any questions or suggestions. We can all work together to make this as perfect as possible."

"clear."

The meeting was over, and the rolling mill had already reached the end of the workday. As soon as the meeting was over, Section Chief Wang stopped Han Daguo and invited him to dinner to discuss cooperation.

Han Daguo did not refuse. Although the two were not very familiar with each other, they had some friendship because of the gold robbery case.

In addition, since Secretary Meng specifically asked him to cooperate with the work this time, it was difficult to refuse.

Before dinner, the two of them had a brief discussion. They didn't have a deep understanding of the matter, so they had to wait until tomorrow after work and ask the comrades from the technical department to send two representatives to the publicity department to discuss their ideas.

Han Daguo directly mentioned the names of Jiang Fan and Ding Lei. The former were the leaders of this matter, and the latter had just been scolded, so giving him a chance to show up this time was a compensation for him.

Chapter 450: For Marriage Leave

The next day, in the technical department, Jiang Fan and a few others discussed what events they would participate in if a sports meet were to be held.

Ding Lei said, "I'm not as strong as you young people, so I'll leave the long-distance running and other things to you. I'll just play table tennis, which is my strong point."

"You are weak, that's all. What do you mean table tennis is your strong point? Do you know how to hold the racket? All you can do is block the shot like an old turtle." Zhao Wen rolled his eyes at him, then puffed out his chest and said.

"When it comes to table tennis, you still have to rely on me. Back in school, I swept the entire school team by myself."

"Just keep bragging. I haven't seen you holding a racket in all these years." Ding Lei rolled his eyes.

"Are you dissatisfied? If not, let's go down and practice!"

"Just practice! Do you have your racket?"

"No! You didn't take it?"

"I didn't take it either!"

"I took it." Jiang Fan silently took out a pair of rackets and three ping-pong balls from the bag.

Zhao Wen and Ding Lei were almost frightened and looked at Jiang Fan in disbelief. "Why are you holding a tennis racket at work?"

"Just practice in advance. I have quite some experience in table tennis." Jiang Fan said with a little pride. As a Chinese, how could he not know how to play table tennis?

"How about we go downstairs and practice after lunch?"

Zhao Wen and Ding Lei were silent for a while.

"I suddenly feel that I am more suitable for long-distance running. I have strong endurance." Zhao Wen said, turning his head.

Ding Lei took over the conversation, "I also think I am more suitable for long jump and high jump. I have well-developed leg muscles."

Before Jiang Fan could say anything, Han Daguo's voice rang out, "Okay then, if we really have a sports meet this time, one of you can go for the long-distance run, and the other can go for the high jump and long jump."

"Chief, you can't do this. We were just joking. I'm over 30 years old. I sit there every day. How can I run now?" Zhao Wen said with a wry smile.

"Yeah, I can't jump either." Ding Lei also rejected this idea. He was just talking about it. He was afraid of spraining his ankle if he really jumped.

Han Daguo hadn't counted on them in the first place. "Okay, since you're all here, let me tell you about what happened yesterday afternoon."

Several people sat down and looked at Han Daguo expectantly. This was a plan they had worked together on. If it was successful, it would be a recognition for them.

"After discussion by our leadership team, we highly affirmed and praised the sports meeting plan proposed by our technical department.

In principle, all the leaders support our plan. However, because the plan is not yet complete, and our secretary wants to hold a larger event.

So, Ding Lei, Jiang Fan, you two should work with the comrades in the Propaganda Department over the next two days to complete the plan as quickly as possible. You will be there later."

"I understand!" Ding Lei said excitedly.

Then Han Daguo looked at Jiang Fan seriously, "Jiang Fan, this time the reputation of our technical department will fall on you."

"No, Section Chief. I am young and energetic, but I don't know the art of splitting myself into two or three. I can only participate in two or three projects at most. You can't leave them all to me."

Jiang Fan was confident in his physical fitness, but he didn't have many sports in mind. He just wanted to try out sports like table tennis and sprinting.

"Don't worry, I'm not unreasonable. In our technical department, except for Xiaoye, everyone including me will participate.

But we're just participating. The competition for the top spots is up to you and Xiao Zhong. You two don't want our technical department to not get any place, do you?

"Okay then, we'll try our best."

"That's right, I believe in you two. How about this, as long as you two can get a ranking, even if it's the lowest ranking, I'll approve you two for a week of wedding leave!"

Han Daguo's bold statement immediately sparked Jiang Fan and Zhong Xueying's competitive spirit. A week of wedding leave, that's a good thing.

"Don't worry, Chief. I will give you the first place no matter what." Jiang Fan also made a pledge. If he didn't take the first place, he would have to take the marriage leave.

Looking at the two young men in the department, Han Daguo felt relieved. Their technical department had the fewest people. If it weren't for Jiang Fan and Zhong Xueying, they might not have been able to participate in this sports meeting.

After Jiang Fan and Ding Lei arrived at the Propaganda Department, they were warmly welcomed by Section Chief Wang. The person following Section Chief Wang was none other than Xu Damao.

"Comrades, this is Xu Damao from the Publicity Department. I believe you are all familiar with him. Damao will be in charge of communicating with you for the next few days."

Obviously, Section Chief Wang also knew that Xu Damao had nothing to do and was running around the technical department.

"Chief Wang, you're too polite. Shall we start working now?" To the outside world, Ding Lei, the big brother, was naturally the main person to be consulted.

"Yes, the work is important. Damao will leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry, Chief. I will definitely accompany the two comrades from the technical department." Xu Damao smiled brightly.

After Section Chief Wang left, Xu Damao stopped pretending and took out a cigarette. "Brother Lei, come over and have a smoke. You guys are amazing! Yesterday, our Propaganda Department racked their brains but couldn't come up with a plan, and you guys came up with one in just a few hours."

"Is there anyone in your Propaganda Department who is jealous of us and wants to cause trouble?" Jiang Fan thought of the clichés in vulgar novels.

"How could that be? You underestimate my popularity in the publicity department." Xu Damao said, as if he didn't understand me. "I told them that the idea came from my brother Jiang Fan, who has made many contributions, and they had no objections at all."

"Besides, you guys are helping us, so no one will come to cause trouble."

Xu Damao said with a solemn vow.

The fact is just as he said, not only is there no one causing trouble in the Propaganda Department, but everyone is also very enthusiastic.

Each of them is responsible for a part of the content, including the opening ceremony, competition items, prize setting, ranking, sequence arrangement, venue arrangement, etc.

Everyone has some questions, such as which workshop should go first during the opening ceremony, should all workers go together, or should some representatives be sent?

Should workers’ opinions be considered when setting up competition items and rewards?

whether gay men and lesbians compete together or separately;

There are a series of issues that need to be resolved, such as how to set the rules, where to choose the referees, etc.

These questions left Ding Lei confused. He originally thought that their plan was generally complete, but he didn't expect the details to be so complicated.

Jiang Fan also had some headaches, but fortunately he had received more than ten years of exam-oriented education, had participated in more than a dozen sports meets, and with some creative ideas, he was able to solve most of the problems.

However, there are some issues that cannot be solved by just discussing them, and they need to be reported to the higher authorities.
