But at this moment, a figure that was unfamiliar to everyone, and that Hou Hongwen did not dare to forget, appeared in front of everyone, and the other person was standing on the stage.
The visitor was none other than Su Mingcheng, the Minister of Industry!
"I can prove it!"
Su Mingcheng was wearing dark overalls, with a serious and solemn face. His face was covered with traces of time, but his eyes were bright and firm. His hair was gray but neatly combed, showing a rigorous attitude. He shouted loudly with a spare microphone as he took the stage.
Hou Hongwen was surprised. Su Mingcheng had never told him about this scene before, and Chen Zhen had never communicated with him. He originally thought that the other party came back to Pingjiang because of family matters, but who knew that Su Mingcheng came in person.
But if the current scene was seen by Su Mingcheng, it would be over immediately. Hou Hongwen's heart instantly became nervous, and his heart was beating wildly. He didn't know what was going to happen next.
Everyone still didn't know who the other party was, but looking at Su Mingcheng's solemn appearance, they felt somewhat at a loss. After all, this leader's appearance was innate. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Su Mingcheng. .
"I am the Minister of Industry of China, and my name is Su Mingcheng!"
What!
Minister of Industry of China!
This is a minister. How big an official is he? He can actually come to the match factory?
Su Mingcheng is also an old man, and he started his career as a worker below. How can he not know what the people below are thinking: "This is my work permit. In addition, everyone can verify the authenticity of my identity in many ways!"
It is quite normal for the Minister of Industry not to be recognized by everyone when he comes to this place. Let alone someone from Pingjiang, even some people in the Ministry of Industry do not know what the Minister looks like after working there for three years.
But the workers below still didn't quite believe it, but before anyone said anything, the city secretary ran in from outside with a bunch of people. The secretary was immediately frightened when he saw Su Mingcheng's appearance. As the saying goes The first level of official rank is overwhelming. The other person is one level higher than me, which is a chasm that I will never be able to cross in my life.
The secretary immediately rushed forward under the protection of the people around him: "Minister Su, the provincial secretary told me right away that you were here. I came over right away. The secretary is still on the way. You see, you are here." You didn’t say hello to us so that we could go and receive you!”
The secretary said in a low voice. Su Mingcheng just waved his hand slightly to indicate that he would talk about it later. He still had important things to do now. The secretary immediately looked at him and stepped aside.
This shocked the people below. Su Mingcheng didn't know him, but he knew the secretary in this city. Everyone had seen it in the newspaper many times. It must be that someone like the secretary is not a good person. , and can get the provincial secretary to come over, isn’t this true!
"The match factory now has important national scientific research topics, and red phosphorus catalyst is the most important. Next, we will indeed have one year of support for the match factory. During this period, we will not make any requirements on the output. We only require the establishment of a scientific research team within the factory. Conduct professional research on this technology!”
"In addition, what everyone is most concerned about must be the issue of wages. Today, the Minister of Industry is here to testify that wages will be distributed to everyone in less than a week, and an additional three million research funds will be provided for everyone to invest in research. !”
"All of us must believe that the match factory will have a bright future. The country, province, and city will definitely provide substantial support. I hope everyone can rest assured. If you don't believe others, my words, Secretary Zhao is also here. Standing, I hope everyone will give the match factory a chance and give yourself a chance!"
…
As soon as Su Mingcheng finished speaking, the entire factory area immediately started to boil. The employees applauded one after another, their faces filled with joy and excitement. Their eyes sparkled with longing and expectation for the future, as if they saw a bright future for the factory.
The applause surged like a tide, gathering into a sea of joy. The workers congratulated each other with high fives, their smiles were as bright as flowers, exuding an atmosphere of unity and progress.
In this jubilant moment, everyone felt Su Mingcheng’s determination and confidence, believing that the factory would be able to overcome difficulties and usher in a more brilliant future.
At this moment, the morale of the workers was high, and they were willing to work together and move forward for the development of the factory. They firmly believe that as long as they work together, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
Four days later, all the funds from the Ministry of Industry were distributed, and all wages were paid. The workers applauded. However, Hou Hongwen was still the director of the match factory, but Chen Zhen was no longer the section chief. Instead, he was replaced by the city manager. After discussions with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission here, he became the deputy director of the match factory. The director of the second workshop did not serve as the director of that rough workshop. Instead, he became the director of the match factory's research institute.
The director of the second workshop actively devoted himself to the research of this technology when he was young. Later, he gave up the research of this technology to make a living, but he still had the passion in his heart, and this time he finally successfully started his own research.
Since that plenary meeting, everyone has become tense. Everyone has begun to make their own contribution to the factory. The logistics department has also become a little harder. After all, people from the research institute have to work at night from time to time. Working overtime until late at night, logistics must be ensured.
The factory also purchased two air conditioners for this purpose. After all, it is not easy for people to think calmly in this hot weather. Hou Hongwen didn't even have one in his office. Hou Hongwen took the initiative to propose that he still used the sizzling air conditioner that had been used for seven or eight years. Just use a fan and allocate all the good conditions to the research institute.
The research institute can be said to be the life of everyone in the factory. Since the location of the research institute is behind the office building of the whole factory, it is relatively quiet here. After all, it is more convenient to have bungalows in some laboratories, and the efficiency will be much faster in this way. .
Chen Zhen was not idle. He found many professor-level teachers from surrounding universities. Many professors also brought their students to study. In the end, on the one hand, they wanted some salary to study their own topics, and on the other hand, they were able to study their own topics. On the one hand, this is a large-scale research topic in the country. If it can be researched, students will be able to go to a good unit in the future, and this will be their best internship experience.
One year is either slow or fast. The research results are placed on the table in the conference room, and the report materials are also placed nearby. Su Mingcheng and several leaders from the Ministry of Industry are sitting next to the table. The head of the logistics department poured cups of tea. Everyone's faces no longer had the depressing atmosphere of last year, but instead felt a little lighter.
Su Mingcheng frowned slightly and looked at the report materials for more than ten minutes before he relaxed and said: "The research on red phosphorus catalyst is very successful, and Pingjiang Match Factory continues production!"
