Chapter 342 Tang Tianqiang

Tangshan City.

Yongsan Iron and Steel Works.

This iron and steel factory is the fourth largest iron and steel smelting enterprise in country Z, with an annual output of 4000 million tons of steel, creating economic benefits of over [-] billion yuan, and a net profit of over [-] billion yuan.

However, in recent years, due to the slowdown in economic growth, the market for crude steel and steel for construction materials has shrunk severely, resulting in a sharp drop in steel prices, and the production and profitability of Longshan Iron and Steel Plant have experienced a large-scale decline.

In addition, the price of imported iron ore has remained high for a long time, and the cost cannot be reduced. In the past few years, the life of Longshan Iron and Steel Plant has been difficult day by day.

Huge losses, a large number of layoffs, and difficult transformation have put this steel plant on the verge of bankruptcy and shutdown.

Under such a severe situation, Tang Tianqiang was appointed by the city as the factory director of Longshan Iron and Steel Factory.

Tang Tianqiang, a middle-aged man in his early 50s, is slightly fat, has piercing eyes, is very courageous, walks in a hurry, and handles things vigorously.

The only shortcoming is that he is too irritable and sharp-edged, and offended many people. He is nicknamed "Tang Tiger". The leaders of the city appreciate him but are helpless. For tasks, when you don't want to use him, send him to a certain Qingshui yamen, and don't give him a promotion all the year round.

But for such a person, after becoming the director of Longshan Iron and Steel Factory, it took only one year for the production and operation of the factory to change greatly.

The loss is still there, but it has been reduced to 30% of the previous year.

Then a few big rats in the factory were eliminated, and a group of capable personnel were promoted. After they were placed in key positions, the atmosphere was reversed, and the production efficiency was also significantly improved.

However, these measures cannot reverse the fundamental situation.

At the staff meeting, Tang Tianqiang said to the workers in the entire steel plant: "It is not enough for the steel plant to continue to smelt low-tech steel such as crude steel and building material steel. It is necessary to improve the technical content and realize the upgrading and transformation of the steel plant. The production of steel should turn to high value-added alloy steel and high-performance steel!"

It is true to say so, but the transformation of the enterprise is so easy, especially for such a large iron and steel enterprise as the Longshan Iron and Steel Works, how much is the cost of realizing the transformation?

Equipment procurement costs, personnel training costs, technology research and development costs, etc., add up to an astronomical figure of more than one billion.

How will the money come from?
The state can't give much, and the city government can't pay that much. Most of them still have to be found by the steel factory.

"I will lower my own wages first, and other leaders and engineers will follow suit. Workers will lower their wages a little bit. Even if they save money, they must save that money!"

Tang Tianqiang cut his own salary from [-] a month to [-] a month. The deputy factory manager, secretary, and senior engineer all got the same amount. Others must follow suit!

After moving around, selling warehouse assets, and trying every means, Tang Tianqiang managed to gather enough money to realize the transformation of the factory - 12 billion.

After the new equipment was purchased, alloy steel smelting experiments began. The previous dozens of experiments were all declared failures, and the scrapped materials cost more than one million yuan every day.

At the most difficult time, the remaining funds of the factory were only enough to do one more smelting experiment.

The whole steel mill was shrouded in a depressive and pessimistic atmosphere, very desperate.

If the last experiment fails again, this steel factory may really be completely over.

Tang Tianqiang was also in a state of anxiety, his hair fell out in handfuls, and he dared not turn on the furnace for the last experiment. He sat in the office, turned on the computer, and frantically searched for information on the Internet, but still found nothing.

Until a weird website, like a virus, popped up on his computer screen.

Tech Tree Network.

In the iron and steel branch of the material branch, "Smelting of High-Strength Nickel Alloy Steel" is impressively listed.

And because the technology is too low-level, this material can be viewed for free.

Day three.

"Success! We succeeded!"

"The steel mill is saved, the steel mill is saved!"

"Long live Director Tang!"

"Long live the steel mill!"

In the smelting plant of Longshan Iron and Steel Plant, there was a huge cheer!
The first furnace of alloy steel in the steel plant was successfully smelted.

Longshan Iron and Steel Plant, the transformation has been successful!
Tang Tianqiang gained great prestige.

In the next few months, Longshan Iron and Steel Works turned losses into profits, not to mention a smooth transformation, and became a key state-supported enterprise. It can be said that it fought a beautiful turnaround.

But the problem also followed.

When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; the world is settled, and the heroes retire.

Tang Tianqiang's mission was completed, and the city leaders planned to arrange another position for him, to be the mayor of a remote town.

As for the position of director of Longshan Iron and Steel Plant, a cadre surnamed Liu will take over.

In the past, Tang Tianqiang probably obeyed the arrangement and gave up his position to others. He is also very used to being hidden by the leader who hates him after dealing with the crisis.

But this time...

He doesn't plan to move his butt anymore, he wants to stay in Longshan Iron and Steel Works.

Then smelt all the high-strength titanium alloys, rare earth alloys, and nano-alloys that need to be charged in the technology tree website to create an alloy empire!
He no longer accepts the city's arrangements, presents his own contributions, and argues with reason. In front of the leaders, he expresses that he does not want to change jobs, so he stays at Longshan Iron and Steel Plant.

The leader was very embarrassed, and began to explain principles to him, do his ideological work, and discussed several times in a loud voice.

The superior leader was furious, and directly dismissed his position as factory director on the grounds of opposing the organizational arrangement. He had no other work arrangements, and planned to let him sit on the bench for several years and arrange early retirement for him.

In short, Tang Tianqiang, who has no organization in his eyes and is stubborn and domineering, will never use him again.

Reluctantly, Tang Tianqiang had no choice but to say "Technology Tree Network", saying that this website contains a lot of technical information, which is very useful to the country, but this website has formed a bond with him. If he leaves, no one will have access to these materials It can no longer be used, and the loss is immeasurable.

"Technology tree network?"

The city leader's expression changed, and he immediately reported the matter to his superiors.

Therefore, Tang Tianqiang retained his position as "factory director" as he wished, but added the word "deputy" in front of it.

The factory manager was the cadre surnamed Liu who came down from the air. Tang Tianqiang called him "Short Liu" because of his short stature, frustrating head, and always shining eyes.

After Liu Aizi entered the steel factory, for the first two months, there was no conflict between the two of them, but soon after, Liu Aizi's high EQ side showed, and he unknowingly took a large part of the factory. The management staff pulled to his side.

Tang Tianqiang, who was immersed in the research of new alloy materials, did not guard against Shorty Liu, and he took advantage of his loopholes. After forming a larger force, he began to trip Tang Tianqiang and slowly put him on the edge.

Even the normal smelting experiments were disturbed.

Tang Tianqiang couldn't control some key departments in the factory.

After discovering that short-haired Liu was playing tricks behind his back, Tang Tianqiang warned him several times sternly, ordering him not to hinder his work, but Shorty Liu always agreed with a smile in front of his face, and made more and more stumbling blocks behind his back.

Until that day, a batch of materials worth more than 3000 million yuan was half smelted in the smelting furnace, and when the key rare earth powder needed to be put in, the rare earth powder disappeared and could not be found no matter how hard it was looked for. Not to mention the scrapped materials, but also because the temperature rose too fast, the smelting furnace worth 2 million yuan was declared scrapped.

Afterwards, the reason was found out: the rare earth powder was transferred to another warehouse by Shorty Liu, and Tang Tianqiang was not informed.

"Short Liu, I'll beat you to death!"

Tang Tianqiang, furious, rushed into Liu Aizi's office, locked the office door behind him, beat him violently, almost crippling him in half, and finally sent Liu Aizi to the hospital by an ambulance.

Things got bigger.

It's completely messed up!
……

"Master, this kind of incident is not limited to Longshan Iron and Steel Works. Many companies seem to have similar situations, which makes the bonders unable to work stably."

"Master, how should we deal with this situation?" Assistant Yiyi asked.

Zhou Ming shook his head: "I can't control this kind of thing. You can send a push to tell this type of enterprise that if this situation persists and cannot be improved, we will reduce the number of bindings of such enterprises and increase the number of bindings of private enterprises." A certain number ... may not even consider such enterprises."

"Yes, I know the master."

According to what Zhou Ming said, the assistant Yiyi sent this push message.
