Revival Road

Chapter 28 Guo Tao
Guo Tao, chairman of the board of supervisors and secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, is not too concerned about business issues. What he cares about is the Song Yang case that has not yet been completely concluded.After the office meeting, Guo Tao went directly to Zhao Qingmin's office. He wanted to talk to the secretary about some things, but he never had the right opportunity, and the timing was not good now, because it was only a few minutes before he got off work.

"Old Zhao, I don't know if I should say something or not."

"Is it about Han Ruilin?" Zhao Qingmin, who had just washed his face, gestured for a seat.

"Not entirely. But this is not normal. Mr. Tao said he wanted Chang Wenhai to investigate, how to investigate? Are we going to check the life style of the cadres? It's a joke. You are the secretary, you should have said something just now. This This kind of thing has always been that the people do not sue the officials and do not investigate, and turning a blind eye is actually the most appropriate attitude."

"This is not what the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee should say. I think you have heard that this Han Ruilin is a pile of stinky shit. Do you still think that the red star doesn't stink? It's purely adding to the chaos."

"I'm not protecting Han Ruilin, but it's not appropriate for the company to handle this matter publicly."

Guo Tao has a withdrawn personality and doesn't get along well with the members of the team, but he has no rumors about his life style, so if he doesn't talk about protecting Han Ruilin, he is protecting himself.

"I know."

"You know, Han Ruilin and Tao are always in the same class in middle school. It is inappropriate for Li Luo to bring up Han Ruilin to talk about things on this occasion..." Guo Tao finally pointed out the topic.

"You can't keep your mouth shut. I think Mr. Tao's attitude is pretty good. Let's wait for the old investigation to come out."

"Secretary Zhao, Red Star has had accidents one after another, and people are panicking. If the sequelae caused by Yang Wenhuan and Song Yue are not resolved earlier, the work will not return to normal. At this time, what is needed is the team's sincerity and unity, and we must not let trivial matters affect the production and management system. The overall situation. Let alone infighting at this time..."

"It's up to you and me, isn't it? You and I are both from Taohuayuan, so it's not convenient to talk." Zhao Qingmin sighed.After the incident of Yang Song, although the provincial and municipal disciplinary committees did not form an investigation team to stay in the company, they always came to the company to interrogate some personnel. Even Luo Chong and Han Zhiyong were interrogated, and there were at least [-] middle-level and general cadres from relevant departments. After being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhao Qingmin couldn't fully understand the specific situation, and the local discipline inspection department did not communicate with the company's party and government, showing a posture of digging deeper and expanding, which made him worried.

"Can you suggest that Mr. Tao hold a middle-level meeting as soon as possible? He can talk about anything. The Song Yang case has implicated more than a dozen departments and branch factories, and the morale of the army is unstable. How can we grasp production and management?"

"Boss Tao has experience and ability, otherwise the higher-ups wouldn't let him take on this burden. Well, I can suggest to him. You are the chairman of the board of supervisors and also the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, so you can make your own suggestions."

"I have submitted a review to the headquarters, and I am ready to take responsibility. I am the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, and I cannot escape the responsibility for such a case. Even if I am dismissed from the organization, I have no complaints. But I can Assure the organization that I have no violations of discipline and corruption. I do this for the sake of the company and have no selfish intentions. Secretary Zhao, you should talk to Li Luo. I think Mr. Tao is right to criticize the marketing department. Some of their past practices Very excessive."

"What are you talking about? It's not a day or two for us to work together." Zhao Qingmin stood up, "You said you submitted a review to the headquarters, and I wrote it too, but it's not a review, but a resignation letter. Normally, it's not appropriate to submit a resignation letter at this time. But I'm really tired..."

"Are you kidding? This is inappropriate." Guo Tao was stunned.

"Yeah, it's not suitable..." Zhao Qingmin changed his overalls and prepared to go home.Guo Tao saw that the secretary had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he left and went back to his office.He had already thought about the ringing of the off-duty bell, and the sound of people in the corridor gradually faded away, but Guo Tao didn't want to go home. He lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa thinking about his thoughts silently.

The status quo is like this. If you pay attention to the recent noticeable increase in "tiger fighting" news, you will find that almost all "tigers" come from reports from different channels and other cases.The same is true for the unresolved corruption case of Red Star Company. If the Shuangqiao Coal Mine, which entered bankruptcy proceedings, hadn’t brought out Ji Liqiang, the deputy director of the raw material supply department, Yang Wenhuan would not have been sacked, and Yang Wenhuan’s sacking would have brought out Song Yue. The storm finally blew up from the material procurement department, blowing the top of Red Star to pieces.

As the chairman of the board of supervisors and secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, he has a basic understanding of Song Yang's case.Ji Liqiang is the deputy director of the material supply department in charge of energy procurement. He enriched himself in the process of purchasing coal. The total amount of stolen money verified exceeded 500 million, and he has been arrested.However, Yang Wenhuan has already confessed that the amount involved in the case has exceeded tens of millions, and he almost has to reach out for the purchase of bulk materials and the disposal of waste materials, to the point of being shameless.Song Yue's details are still unknown, but Song Yue's problems are not limited to the procurement of materials, but the problems in infrastructure, equipment, and project construction may be even bigger.It is said that the person has been transferred to the judiciary, and it is estimated that there will be official news soon.Comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection told him that the company’s systems exist and have been implemented. For example, the procedures for public bidding are perfect, but in fact they are seriously neglected.The company purchases as much as 20 tons of coal each year. Even if the price of coal has been reduced, the amount of this business is still 6000-7000 million. The company's discipline inspection committee has never conducted a special audit on it, and the management loopholes are very serious.

Guo Tao felt aggrieved.He has indeed heard rumors of corruption in the field of coal procurement. A niece of Yang Wenhuan who works in the company publicly stated that the "Suoba" she drove was given by the coal boss (the car has been confiscated).He once asked the Ministry of Supervision to audit coal purchases, but Song Yue disagreed, and he and Song Yue had a very unpleasant quarrel for this reason.Song Yue ordered the Supervision Department to obtain his approval for any temporary internal audit.This is actually a violation of discipline, but the reality is like this. Song Yue is the top leader and has the highest power in the company. Things that he disagrees with cannot be done.If the top leader is upright, things are easy to handle, but if there is a problem with the top leader, there will be a big problem below... But when there is a problem, the Disciplinary Committee cannot absolve itself of the blame, it's just fucking.Now many people in Red Star "hope" that the procuratorate's car will appear in the office building and take away more cadres.Rumors abounded, saying that the infrastructure department, equipment department, and regulatory department were also rotten, and that they would be finished sooner or later.It is even said that he, Guo Tao, has fallen into it, which makes him feel sad.The fact that the masses have serious distrust of cadres frightened him, and the uneasiness and panic shown by the middle-level team reminded him that the negative impact of the Yang Song case must be resolved as soon as possible. problem.He didn't believe that the team was rotten, at least he believed that Zhao Qingmin was fine. Although his boss in the party was a bit embarrassed, he could still account for the organization in terms of clean government.He hoped that Zhao Qingmin would fulfill his duties as secretary of the party committee, stand up at this time, and use an appropriate method to reunite the army, but Old Zhao seemed to have lost his will to fight.

What's more, Guo Tao has already noticed a certain emotion among the members of the team. They don't welcome Tao Tang.Although everyone showed enough respect to Tao Tang on the surface, Guo Tao could feel the hard-to-disguise sense of distance.

As far as he observed, during the few days Tao Tang took office, almost no team members approached Tao Tang on his own initiative, except that he had to report or ask for instructions due to work.This is very abnormal.This was not the case when Song Yue took office. In the first week, the dinner party was full. Except for him and Zhao Qingmin, almost all team members had invited Song Yue, either alone or together, but so far he had not heard anyone invite him. Tao Tang, who is also single.Even if the rules are stricter after the [-]th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it's not a big deal, right?
Today Li Luo threw out Han Ruilin at the office meeting, and in his opinion, he was General Tao Tang's army.Lu Qi is Tao Tang's classmate, so of course Han Ruilin is also.By doing this, Li Luo must have vented his dissatisfaction with his failure to take over the position, and it may also be because Tao Tang criticized the marketing department.What about the rest?Ma Guangming, Luo Chong, President Jiang, and Han Zhiyong are Tao Tang's main assistants. Why do they behave like this?What are they worried about?Are you worried that Tao Tang will be responsible for investigating internal corruption?
From all indications, the newcomer Tao Tang is not bad.Guo Tao noticed some of Tao Tang’s actions, for example, he basically didn’t dine in Xiaozhao, but paid for meals in the canteen; for example, Tao Tang ordered to return the clothes bought for him by the general manager’s office; for example, Tao Tang visited the grassroots on Sunday; For example, Tao Tang's concern for the lives of single employees... and Tao Tang's speech at the general manager's office meeting today. Although Guo Tao didn't speak, he basically agreed with him. He was very happy from the bottom of his heart.

These can be seen as a superficial work of a newly appointed top leader, but at least he has blown a breath of fresh air that has not been seen for a long time.Guo Tao really hoped that the wind would blow more violently... Thinking of this, he decided to have a chat with Tao Tang.

But Tao Tang has already left the office.Li Zhibin, who was mopping the floor, told him that Mr. Tao went to the cafeteria to eat.

Guo Tao said oh, and was about to go home. When he ran into Qiu Lin, it seemed that he was also looking for Tao Tang.

"Is Mr. Tao here?"

"gone."

"Han Zhiyong is always like this, I really can't do this job." Qiu Lin looked angry.

"What's wrong?" Guo Tao was a little surprised, he was fine at the meeting just now.Qiu Lin's attitude surprised Guo Tao. Qiu Lin, who was only promoted to vice president last year and has the lowest seniority in the team, would not challenge Han Zhiyong.

"Chairman Guo, you come to comment. Mr. Tao gave 5000 million to the supply port to buy materials. How can he take 1500 million to the production department? 5000 million sounds like a lot, but the output value of a month is hundreds of millions less. How much is the marginal interest rate of our products? 5000 million is just an emergency. How can he do this?"

"Boss Tao has gone to the cafeteria to eat, you might as well go to Xiaozhao and wait for him." Guo Tao knew that Han Zhiyong was gaining power again.

After get off work, Tao Tang still went to the big canteen for dinner, today he went to the third canteen.Compared with noon, the number of people dining is much smaller.He bought a stew, a steamed bun and an egg soup, and found an empty table to eat alone.

The environment of the third canteen is much better than that of the first and second canteens. At least the floor, tables and chairs are clean and tolerable. The ceiling fans have been turned on, and the air is not as dirty as there. You can always smell the rotten food.

Several employees pointed in this direction, as if they recognized themselves.Tao Tang ate a simple dinner slowly, thinking about things that only he knew.

A very sunny young man came over with a meal, "Mr. Tao, is that okay?"

"Of course." Tao Tang nodded, "Meng Fan, right?"

The young man smiled brightly, "You still remember me."

"I remember you were in the research institute. What major did you study? What project are you working on now?" Tao Tang took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"My major is hydraulic transmission, and I am working on a hydraulic hoist project in the second." The Red Star Research Institute should be called the head office, and there are four branches under it, and the second is responsible for the research and development of new products in the agricultural machinery sector.

Tao Tang nodded, "I have heard the reports from Mr. Jiang and Assistant Li. This project is a key project of the company, right? How is the progress?"

"It's not going well...Our upstream, Sino-US joint venture Dieter's tractors have been replaced, and all mechanical hoists have been changed to hydraulic ones. By the end of this year, all the original products will be eliminated. Now we even have prototypes. If you can't get it out, the higher ups are not in a hurry... Mr. Tao, can you remind me?"

"Of course. Let me ask."

"That's great."

"Xiao Meng, how many years have you been in the factory?"

"Three years."

"Why are you in a hurry?" Tao Tang had already finished eating, took out a toothpick from his pocket to pick his teeth, and squinted at the young man in front of him.

"Why are you not in a hurry? If the product upgrades can't keep up, maybe the [-]th Branch Factory will starve."

"I mean you are just a technician in the research institute, and the factory is only three years old..."

"Boss Tao is testing me..." Meng Fan grinned, "I still have this awareness. Since I chose Red Star, I certainly hope that the company will get better."

"Well said." Tao Tang stood up, "Do it well, you will be successful."
