Chapter XVI. Branch secretaries and team leaders
"Secretary, it's bad! Something happened at the cannery!" Office Xiao Li rushed into the mayor's office in a panic, startling Tang Yi, who was writing materials.
"What are you panicking about?" Tang Yi frowned, gently put down his pen, and organized the pages of white paper filled with English letters before looking up and asking, "What's the matter? Speak slowly, look at you! What's it become?"
Who doesn't know what Tang Yi has been writing day and night lately, lines and lines of English code in C language, program functions, who in this town can read and understand? No one will know that this is the source code of linux operating system which can compete with windows xp after ten years. The source code of linux is open to everyone, and Tang Yi is a fanatic computer enthusiast, when he was in college, he was free to study its source code every day, and make his own personalized Windows operating system. Recently, when he had some free time, he was bored and wrote down the source code under his impression, thinking that it might be of some use in the future. Though he could not remember some of the things, the overall framework was not a big problem, especially the network interface and security, which was Tang Yi's favorite part of the research, and he remembered it the most clearly. As for the real creator of linux, I think this year just wrote the linux prototype freax, and Tang Yi this after more than ten years of development, countless researchers, hackers perfected linux graphical operating system is completely incomparable.
Xiao Li has a habit of talking in a more or less formal manner, even in front of the leadership, but he can't change it, for which he has been reprimanded by Liu Dazhong for many times, but Tang Yi doesn't care about these minor details.
Xiao Li wiped the sweat on his forehead with one hand, gestured with the other, and said in a hurried voice: "Secretary Tang, the workers are making a scene, Old Chen can't be suppressed by the looks of it, so go and take a look!"
Tang Yi was also a bit surprised to hear that the workers were making a fuss. He hurriedly said, "Let's go and take a look!" Picked up the briefcase on the table, and Li hurried out the door, the road asked Li details, but he was asked, just received a cannery old Chen called for help, heard the state of affairs urgent, he did not care to ask questions, rushed to report to Tang Yi.
The cannery is a few hundred meters west of the town, and on the red brick wall there is a slogan made of white lime, "Adhere to one center, two basic points, and stride forward under the leadership of the Party." The brick wall is covered with barbed wire, and directly east of it is a large iron gate that can be used by two People's Liberation trucks.
Cannery environment is not bad, the factory common kind of slag ground, rainy days will not be muddy, not like the cement road dry days have dust, several rows of cottages are planted in front of plants, even if the big plant around, also planted some evergreen pines and cypresses, other than that, for the greening of this original factory director Liu Jiashun still do a good job.
Factory side of the clamor can be heard from a distance, Tang Yi and Li turned over, see the plant around the iron gate, gathered twenty to thirty workers, an emotional noise, the new factory director Chen Fangyuan bitter face to explain, although he is the town's people, but after all, did not do the leadership, where to see this situation? While talking while wiping the forehead sweat, fat body shivering, Tang Yi really doubt his genes is how to give birth to Chen Ke kind of beauty embryo.
Chen Fangyuan turned his head and saw Tang Yi, as if he had seen a savior, shouting, "Secretary Tang, you're here, come, come, come!" He squeezed through the crowd and ran to Tang Yi's side, letting out a long breath, a heart finally put into his stomach for the time being, he was really worried that these excited workers would get out of control.
Seeing Tang Yi, those workers also closed their voices, after all, is the town leader, this deterrent is still there. Tang Yi frowned and asked Chen Fangyuan, "What's going on? Tell me." Just took office and stirred up trouble? Tang Yi couldn't help but get a little fired up. Looking up, he saw Wang Ercheng standing in the workers' pile, Chen Ke crying after going to his house that day, so Tang Yi had a deep impression of him, so he also waved at him, "Wang Ercheng, you come over here too, talk to me about the situation, why the noise? You be the workers' representative, everyone else, disperse!"
Chen Fangyuan muttered in a low voice beside Tang Yi, "He was the one who made the most noise just now......." Tang Yi glared, and Chen Fangyuan swallowed the following words in fear.
Workers over there also gathered to mutter for a while, finally Wang Ercheng seems to convince them, those workers are slowly dispersed, Wang Ercheng some twisted to Tang Yi side, this simple man seems to be a little embarrassed, Tang Yi immediately saw his mind, laughed: "Don't think that it is in trouble, don't be embarrassed, say it, why noisy, you're a worker representative , you speak first."
Wang Ercheng grinned a few times and giggled, "Secretary Tang, you ...... you still remember my name?"
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Remembering your name doesn't necessarily help you speak, say it, what's going on?"
Wang Ercheng scratched his head and stammered, "That's it, that's it, doesn't the factory owe us a few months' wages? We want to find the new factory manager to settle it. See, see it's going to be New Year's Eve, we always need to buy some New Year's goods ......"
Tang Yi frowned, "Wages? Didn't the town promise you that it would be settled with the county's finances at the end of the year? Why are you fooling around again, and what does this have to do with Old Chen?"
Wang Ercheng saw Tang Yi look unhappy, did not dare to hide, hurriedly said: "But, is not we fooling around, is the secretary said, he said that if you do not want to pay wages, the days are long, this thing may be yellow ...... so we just ...... Besides, the big pineapple in the cold storage is now sold can still be worth a few dollars, if ...... if made canned can't be sold is not as good as ...... not as good as split it now ...... "
Tang Yi listened to the clouds, "Secretary, which secretary? What's wrong with the big pineapple?"
Chen Fangyuan cleared his throat and whispered, "Secretary Tang, it's better for me to say it." Tang Yi nodded his head before he continued, "The secretary is the current factory secretary Liu Jiaxun ......"
"I said wait, wait, what did you just say? What factory secretary?" Tang Yi confused, Chen Fangyuan surprised: "Liu Jiashun is now the factory party branch secretary, is the town decided, do you not know?"
Tang Yi this angry ah, needless to say, and Liu Dazhong's idea, what factory party branch, on this kind of small factories, but dozens of workers, there can be one or two members of the party would be good, it is worth setting up a party branch? This is clearly a disguised call Liu Jiashun into the cannery to fight for power!
Tang Yi asked with a sullen face, "What's going on with the big pineapple?"
Chen Fangyuan explained: "We have thousands of kilograms of good pineapple in the cold storage, these workers are open to sell, open some wages for the New Year, this is not I am not sure whether to sell them or do canning?"
Tang Yi said, "Why sell them? Isn't canning good?"
Chen Fangyuan coughed a few times, not daring to answer, but Tang Yi knew that he must have thought wrongly, and laughed, "Just say what you think, you're familiar with the situation now, and it's not a shame for me, a layman, to say something wrong."
Chen Fangyuan laughed and said, "That's that's that's, Tang Secretary, you're not in the cannery you don't understand, do canned fruits are generally, are ......" Tang Yi interface: "Rotten fruits?" Chen Fangyuan laughed dryly: "Rotten fruit is not to, but are using some crooked melon cracked date, the market can not sell off the kind of fruit, however, our cold storage of the big pineapple is the best quality of the kind of top fruit, now sell if you can sell two or three dollars a catty it, made into canned counting the cost of words may be as good as this sell off."
Tang Yi nodded gently, the former cannery why not according to market principles, but to buy high-quality pineapple as raw materials, which must be cats and dogs, but now is not the time to pursue these, Tang Yi also do not want to check, water to clear there is no fish, the previous years of old scores, if they have to turn the words, will only bring more resistance to their own work, they should focus on the future, not the past.
Tang Yi pondered for a while and asked, "So do you think there is a difference between the canned goods made from high quality pineapples and poor quality pineapples?"
Chen Fangyuan laughed dryly, "There's definitely a difference, the raw materials are good, and the stuff made certainly tastes better, it's just that the difference isn't too big, and it can't make up for the gap in the price of the raw materials."
Tang Yi nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I have a suggestion, it's winter now, you don't have many fruits in the cold storage, right? If you sell these pineapples again, what about the workers? Continue to stop work? I think it should be made into cans, but the packaging you want to think of ways to do a delicate point, the best into the New Year package fruit of the kind of gift box, two bottles of a box, the price can be set higher, the packaging must indicate that it is a high-quality pineapple, fake one compensates for ten, as for the sales, it is temporarily set in the county, you can go to the county TV station to do an advertisement well, will be our high-quality pineapple shoot a little bit, as well as, the delivery of the time to each of the Commissary stores to take delivery first after payment, not sold can be returned, in addition, to those stores with higher profits, they themselves on behalf of your publicity! I still don't believe that our own cannery still can't compete with the foreign ones?"
Chen Fangyuan was a bit stunned, Tang Yi laughed again, "Of course, I'm a layman, in the end how to do it or you say, I'm just making a suggestion." Chen Fangyuan didn't make a sound and seemed to be savoring Tang Yi's words.
Tang Yi no longer cared about him, and asked the dumbfounded Wang Ercheng next to him, "Where's Liu Jiashun? You go and call him in. You can ask the workers to rest assured about their wages, and we'll definitely tell them to have a comfortable Spring Festival!"
Wang Ercheng nodded his head vigorously, the young secretary's words he was convinced, since Tang Yi expressed his position, of course, he will not make any more trouble, turned back and ran quickly to a bungalow, where is the cannery's party branch office.
In fact, through the window, Liu Jiashun has long seen Tang Yi, but he knows that his party branch secretary has not been approved by Tang Yi, so he did not dare to venture, such as Wang Ercheng to call him, to hide is not to hide over, had to grit his teeth and hold on, the ugly daughter-in-law will have to see the grandma, do not believe that he will be able to eat their own.
Looking at the Liu Jiashun, Tang Yi face gradually sank, turned back and whispered to order Li: "Go to call the Secretary Liu called!"
Liu Jiashun apprehensively stood opposite Tang Yi, the young secretary has not said much, frowning and pondering the problem, Liu Jiashun's heart is thumping faster and faster, even if the previous county leaders came down to inspect the work, he has not been so nervous, the opposite of this young man seems to have given himself an unprecedented huge pressure.
When Liu Dazhong's sturdy figure appeared, Liu Jiaxun only gently sigh of relief, finally have a backbone, shield, the heart is also a little surprised, he invited Liu Secretary to do? It seems that this second-in-command or second-in-command, take the idea of things or a hand say, think of this, can not help but be slightly complacent up.
Liu Dazhong face some bad, this Tang Yi, something they do not appear, call others to call to find themselves, how? What? When you are on the go? If it wasn't for the cannery, he wouldn't have come.
The breeze blew, not far from a few pines and cypresses gently swaying, leaves on the snow rustling down, green bloom, drive away a few points of the winter cold.
Tang Yi smiled and Liu Dazhong greetings, talking is to get to the point: "Liu Secretary, canned food factory party secretary thing is your decision?"
Although Liu Dazhong is in his fifties, he has a robust body, a rosy complexion, a body that is stronger than many young men, and a loud voice that is a match for Secretary Xiao, "It was decided by the town party committee."
Tang Yi doubtfully said, "This is not right, the party committee decided for why I do not know? Am I not a member of the party committee?"
Liu Dazhong also knew that this matter was not done properly, so he patiently explained: "You were busy running to the county in those days, and you didn't participate in the meeting of the town party committee, so I was trying to notify you."
Tang Yi nodded, and after a moment of contemplation said, "Secretary Liu, I don't agree with the decision to set up a party branch in the cannery, the town party committee needs to reconvene to discuss this issue."
Liu Dazhong laughed, it was that kind of sneering smile, his voice became conspiratorial, and his loud voice seemed indescribably strange: "Mayor Tang, I say why do you like to sing against the party committee? Young people do not have a little achievement tail to the sky, the party committee's decision is you a person do not agree can be overturned?" He never addressed Tang Yi by his administrative position, not by his secretary.
Tang Yi laughed: "Secretary Liu is overstating the case, how is this a contradiction to the Party Committee? I am also a member of the party committee, of course I have to mention my opinion, not to mention that I am responsible for the town's economic work, and the cannery's reform project is even more important to me, so why didn't the town's party committee listen to me on the cannery's resolution? Why did it jump to a conclusion hastily?"
Liu Dazhong snorted coldly, "What's wrong with reform? If you reform the cannery, you don't want the party's leadership? Comrade Tang Yi, I think your thinking is a bit dangerous!"
Chen Fangyuan listened to the side of the cold sweat, this big hat buckle down, not to mention the town leaders, is the central leadership will have to weigh ah, Liu Jiashun is a bit gloating looking at Tang Yi, secretly for Liu Dazhong good, said my uncle this army will be a really good level.
Tang Yi is still a smile on his face, his voice did not have a trace of emotional change, or that calm, "Liu Secretary, how can the cannery will not want the party's leadership? It is still under the leadership of the town committee! But only one or two members of the small factory also want to set up a party branch? This is not to party leadership, this is formalism, people floating over things, in recent years the spirit of the central document is to streamline the organization, for the bloated organs to lose weight, rather than set up more doors and frames, canned food factory party organization can be retained, you can set up a party group, members of the party to play an exemplary role in leading, for Chen factory director to come up with ideas, make suggestions, but what party branch? Party secretary? Secretary Liu ah, we can not engage in dogmatism ah!"
Liu Dazhong's face became more and more ugly, and he laughed back in anger: "Haha, my old man has been engaged in Marxism-Leninism for his whole life, and when I'm old and old, I've become a dogmatist, haha."
Tang Yi still did not move and said, "There is a sequence of hearing, but it has nothing to do with age." Turning back to Liu Jiashun, he said, "Your party branch secretary is considered to be exempted! If you still can't let go of the cannery, then you will be the head of the cannery's party group from now on."
Liu Jiashun looked at Liu Dazhong with a bitter face, and thought, "It's over, what is the level of this party group leader? Isn't it the same as being removed from office? Uncle alas, you are not harming me? Why can't you keep up with the conversation?
Tang Yi smiled at Liu Dazhong and said, "Secretary Liu, I'll write a report about the cannery's party organization and apply to the higher-ups, so I won't bother you." All along, Tang Yi didn't want to go toe-to-toe with Liu Dazhong, but more and more, he realized that this old man was making things difficult for himself and restraining himself at every turn, so he was no longer merciful and polite at the moment.
Atmosphere frozen, Chen Fangyuan want to play round, but do not know how to interject, Liu Jiashun stammered: "Yes, I, I obey the allocation of the party organization." Thinking about it, his heart was cross, and served the soft child, twisted his head, and did not dare to look at his uncle's expression, he did not want to become a victim of Liu Dazhong's bull.
Liu Dazhong was distant nephew this sentence angry lungs almost exploded, a fling sleeve, angry grunts turned to go, walk not a few steps, but stumbled a little, almost fell, visible now his mood of agitation and indignation.
Tang Yi looked at his back, sighed deeply.
