Chapter 709 Cause 2
Chang Changzheng was very clear that even if he was transferred from the ministry, it would be unlikely that Liu Changhe would be appointed as the secretary of the Red Star Steel Mill under normal circumstances. If nothing unexpected happened, a comrade who had worked in political work should be arranged to take charge of the Red Star Steel Mill.
It is precisely for this reason that Chang Changzheng really did not take the small alliance of Liu Changhe and Xue Yongheng seriously. If we say that among the current leadership team of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the person that Chang Changzheng is most vigilant about is actually Li Huaide, firstly, Li Huaide is from the army, secondly, his father-in-law is one of the main leaders of the department, and thirdly, Li Huaide has a good relationship with Lin Yu.
If Li Huaide's qualifications were not too shallow, Chang Changzheng estimated that it would not have been his turn to be the secretary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill this time. In particular, before Liu Changhe tried to win over Xue Yongheng, he should have found Li Huaide first. However, Li Huaide was very aware of his own shortcomings. What he needed now was to behave himself and gain experience. Therefore, he refused Liu Changhe's attempt to win him over. Liu Changhe had no choice but to find Xue Yongheng to join forces.
It is precisely for these reasons that Chang Changzheng pays special attention and vigilance to Li Huaide in his heart. The ancients knew that one should not allow others to snore beside one's bed. If Li Huaide is given another three or two years to settle down, he will probably become his biggest opponent by then.
However, Chang Changzheng did not want to offend the people behind Li Huaide, so he notified Liu Changhe to come over to discuss it today.
Seeing Liu Changhe at a loss, Chang Changzheng lit a cigarette, took a puff and then slowly said, "This is the critical moment of the Great Leap Forward. The Ministry has high hopes for our Red Star Steel Mill. If the workers in the factory are demoralized by the poor food at this time, and we are unable to successfully complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors, I am afraid that you and I will inevitably be held accountable by the Ministry, and we will be criticized and warned at the least, or punished with demerits at the worst."
Just as he expected, Liu Changhe's expression changed drastically after hearing this. He had tried every possible means to become the director of the Red Star Steel Mill, and now there was the word "acting" in front of the word "director". Once serious problems occurred in the Red Star Steel Mill during this critical period, he was afraid that all his efforts would be in vain.
Liu Changhe was definitely a smart man. How could he not understand Chang Changzheng's intention at this moment? Ever since the problem of tight supply of materials arose, Chang Changzheng had mentioned twice that he hoped Li Huaide could go to Consultant Lin for help.
When it was first proposed, the Security Department had officially stopped supplying materials to the city. Anyone with a normal mind would understand that Lin Yu had just stopped supplying food and meat to the city on the pretext of shortage of materials. How could he possibly sell materials to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the city?
At that time, Chang Changzheng was embarrassed at the office meeting that day because his clerk did not even report such important news to him, and his little prestige was almost destroyed.
The second time Chang Changzheng mentioned that he hoped Li Huaide could go to the training base for help, no one expected that Li Huaide would actually obtain a monthly supply of 2,000 kilograms of pork from the department. With this supply of 2,000 kilograms of pork, no matter how thick-skinned Chang Changzheng was, he could not continue to insist that Li Huaide go to Consultant Lin. Moreover, a few days later, the news that Li Huaide had obtained an extra 2,000 kilograms of pork for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill quickly spread within the steel mill. Li Huaide won wide praise from the majority of cadres and workers. In sharp contrast, Chang Changzheng, the secretary and director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, did not get any supplies at all, which almost ruined the reputation of the newly appointed leader. Liu Changhe and Xue Yongheng, who were also deputy directors, were also talked about privately by cadres and workers. It was just that at the time, one of them was in charge of production and the other was in charge of technology. Therefore, although they were affected to some extent, it was not a big deal.
But things are different now. Liu Changhe has become the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as he wished. He is now in charge of all the work of the factory except party affairs and organization. It is impossible for him to stay out of it.
It was not until this moment that Liu Changhe realized that the position of factory director under his butt was a bit hot. The most urgent task now was to find ways to get a large amount of meat. However, Liu Changhe still had some self-knowledge. He did not have any connections that could help him. It seemed that he could only try his best. Moreover, Chang Changzheng called him here today, obviously forcing him to take the lead and be the first to ask Li Huaide to submit.
Although he really didn't want to have a bad relationship with Li Huaide, in order to overcome his own difficulties, Liu Changhe could only express his position with a pinch of his nose. Now the leadership team of the Red Star Steel Mill consists of five people. In addition to himself and Chang Changzheng, there are also the Chairman of the Trade Union Xue Yingwu, Deputy Director Li Huaide and Deputy Director Xue Yongheng. At present, Xue Yongheng is his ally, and with Chang Changzheng's vote, even if the Chairman of the Trade Union Xue Yingwu abstains from voting, it will be a solid three to one. Based on the principle of minority obeys majority, no matter how reluctant Li Huaide is, he can only bite the bullet and ask Consultant Lin for help.
So, with the temporary cooperation of Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe, at the next office meeting, Li Huaide had no choice but to agree to go to the training base. However, he had also said in advance that under normal circumstances, Consultant Lin would not agree to supply materials to the Red Star Steel Mill again.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, although Lin Yu did not agree to provide meat supply to the Red Star Steel Mill, he still made a suggestion to Li Huaide, which was to go to Tianjin to purchase sea fish.
When Li Huaide came back to report to Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe, they both regretted it. Why didn't they think of this solution? Although fish meat cannot be compared with pork in the eyes of ordinary people, it is quite good to have fish meat to improve the meals of cadres and workers in the current situation of tight supply of materials.
Although Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe were both very depressed, they still had to strongly support Tianjin's plan to purchase marine fish. After all, they had to work together to overcome the difficulties at this time, otherwise, if they were held accountable by their superiors, none of them would have an easy time.
Therefore, with the cooperation of all factory leaders, the fleet, finance and logistics departments immediately began preparations.
