Chapter 642 Security Hazards
As Chang Futian explained the industrial situation in the province to Zhou Tian one by one, Zhou Tian realized that the industry of this SX province was more complicated than he had imagined.
It is not just an industrial problem; there are also problems such as insufficient technical personnel, outdated machinery and equipment, and conservative thinking among factory leaders.
If the various branches under the institute are like the rising sun, then the various factories in SX Province are like the setting sun.
"Boss, is this the case in all factories, or just some of them?"
After Chang Futian explained the problems of all the factories in the province, Zhou Tian's brows were obviously furrowed even deeper.
"Commander, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, but all factories have various problems!"
Chang Futian smiled bitterly and said, as the director of the SX Light Industry Bureau, he also wanted to vigorously develop the industry, but on the one hand he was limited by talent, and on the other hand he was not coordinated by various management levels.
SX is different from Sijiu City. Sijiu City has many technicians and college students, so it can be said that the talent gap is not too serious. But here in SX, universities are scarce, and the entire SX is financially insufficient.
The economy has not been able to develop, and people's lives have become increasingly impoverished in recent years. They have basically fallen into a vicious circle. If nothing changes, relying solely on the coal industry will be a drop in the bucket.
"In that case, I'll visit each factory first. What do you think?"
Zhou Tian pondered and felt that if he wanted to solve these problems, he must go to each factory for personal inspection. Otherwise, it would be impossible to understand the specific conditions of each factory just by hearsay.
"Sir, yes, I am willing to accompany you personally!"
Chang Futian heard this and immediately said happily.
"You don't have to go in person. After all, you are the director of the Light Industry Bureau, and the leaders of each factory must know you. I want to make a secret visit this time just to see the real reason of each factory!"
Zhou Tian refused and said, "How about this, you can find someone who knows more about each factory to go with me!"
"Okay chief!"
Chang Futian responded and turned and left.
Zhou Tian was silent for a long time before he stood up and went to Liu Weimin's office and told him his plan.
Liu Weimin also agreed with this, but still advised Zhou Tian to bring guards with him. After getting Secretary Liu's consent, Zhou Tian began to prepare.
The next day, Zhou Tian changed into the clothes of an ordinary worker and took a young man sent by Chang Futian to visit the factories in the city of ty.
Since Zhou Tian did not look very old and had a letter of introduction from his work unit, his visit went smoothly. Neither the machinery factory nor the textile factory refused his visit.
But as he visited more and more factories, his brows became more and more furrowed.
He found that whether it was a machinery factory, a textile factory, or even a large or small coal mine, the management model was still the old one, and a large proportion of the managers were mostly left over from the old society.
Some of the methods are rough, and some factories even adopt a management style that is equivalent to laissez-faire, thinking that everything is fine as long as nothing goes wrong. They do not pay attention to safety management at all, and even have a certain impact on the personal health of many workers.
Such as cement factories, soy sauce factories, vinegar factories, and some breweries, etc. These factories are called factories, but they are more like workshops.
After visiting the factory in ty city, Zhou Tian secretly went to the factories in various subordinate cities. However, when he saw the specific operating conditions of the factories below, Zhou Tian's face became even gloomier.
Although he had thought that the situation of the factory below would not be very optimistic, he did not expect it to be beyond his imagination.
Only some large coal mines had relatively good management, but in his opinion, the rest of the factories were failing and even treated human lives with disregard.
Of course, he also knew that there was nothing that could be done about it, as the country was currently focusing on heavy industries, and the production lines and equipment for these light industrial products had not yet been rolled out.
A month later, Zhou Tian returned to the office of the ty provincial government. He couldn't wait to lie on the table and write down what he had seen and heard along the way. At the same time, he also started his first industrial planning and design transformation.
In his opinion, if one wants to develop the entire SX industry, one must first carry out a preliminary integration of all industries. However, if one wants to integrate these industries, the most basic thing is to renovate, expand and upgrade each factory.
"Xiaotian, I heard that you came back today? How was it? Did you have some deep feelings after going down there this time?"
Just as Zhou Tian was bending down to write down his thoughts, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his office.
“Secretary Liu, why are you here? Look at me, I didn’t even notice you!”
When Zhou Tian heard the voice, he looked up and saw Secretary Liu standing in front of the table. He immediately stood up to greet him.
"Okay, I heard that you basically visited all the factories in the province this time, so when I heard that you were back, I came to see you. Did I disturb you?"
As Liu Weimin spoke, he glanced at the documents on his desk and said with a hint of apology.
"No, I am flattered by Secretary Liu's concern. How can I say that I am bothering you? Secretary, please take a seat!"
Zhou Tian smiled, led Liu Weimin to sit on the sofa, poured himself and Secretary Liu a cup of tea, and then said: "Secretary Liu, to be honest, when I first came here, I also deliberately investigated the specific situation of SX Province's industry, but I didn't expect that after seeing it in person this time, I was a little shocked!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Hearing Zhou Tan say this, Secretary Liu's face suddenly turned serious and asked.
"Secretary Liu, you know that many factories have great safety risks if they don't have a standard, just like the Taiyuan Machinery Factory. My first stop was the Machinery Factory. As the largest factory in the provincial capital, I originally thought that the problem was just equipment, but after I saw it, I realized that it was a management problem!"
As he spoke, Zhou Tian told Liu Weimin everything he had seen.
“In the past, perhaps our domestic machine tools and equipment did not meet the standards, so these problems were unavoidable, but the basic worker safety issues were still very good, but the machinery factory did not do well enough.
At this point, Zhou Tian couldn't help but get a little angry, and continued: "You know, the safety of workers is related to the survival of a family. Even if nothing else is done, labor protection supplies should be in place. But what I saw was that when the workers were processing on the machine tools, they didn't see any labor protection supplies such as gloves. Isn't this playing a joke on the workers' bodies?"
"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that safety training has not been implemented at all. For example, in the cement factory, many workers did not wear masks when loading and unloading cement. This is simply unimaginable!"
