"Perhaps we can lower the standard of the equipment set and introduce another 1680mm hot rolling mill provided by the Japanese?!”
"If that's the case, let alone reducing the funding by 50 million meters of gold, we can even directly reduce it by 100 million meters!”
Wang Shengli, the old factory manager, also said arrogantly. The veins on his neck were bulging. It was obvious that he was really anxious!
"That won't do!" Leader Chu shook his head and said," The 1880mm hot rolling mill is a complete set of equipment. It's a standard that the Ministry has repeatedly studied and decided on!”
"If we lower the specifications and introduce the 1680mm hot rolling mill, we will fall behind before the equipment is online. This goes against our original intention of introducing modern equipment and speeding up the pace of our modernisation!”
"Then that's it! He wanted to be modern but didn't want to spend money. How could this be such a good thing?？”Wang Shengli clapped his hands and said.
"Regarding the matter of continuing negotiations with Japan, our department will specially send someone down to coordinate with them!”Leader Chu also nodded at the table and set the tone." The spirit of the higher-ups in Beijing is very clear. The budget for the overall reduction is arranged at the national level!”
"If the Jianggang 1880mm hot rolling mill project is really unable to reduce the budget, then we can only use another plan!”
" What plan?!" Wang Shengli asked.
"Slow down the construction!" Leader Chu tapped the table again and continued," The Ministry's suggestion is to postpone the construction for two years. When the country's economy improves and we have money, we will restart the introduction of the 1880mm hot rolling mill project!”
"Postponed for two years?" Wang Shengli's eyes bulged out as he was dumbfounded!
At this moment, Qiu Chunsheng spoke again,""Old leader, I remember that you told us about it the last time we went to the Beijing Ministry for a meeting! Our Jianggang's 1880mm hot rolling mill project cannot be delayed!”
"I still remember that at the meeting, the old leader also mentioned a figure. Our country needs to spend 4 to 5 billion yuan in foreign exchange on the high-quality steel imported from abroad every year!”
"In other words, it costs more than ten million gold per day!”
"So, if our Jianggang project is delayed for two years, it's not worth it for the country at all!”
Leader Zhu also frowned. He had indeed said these words at the Beijing meeting!
However!
Plans could never keep up with changes. Now, the country really did not have enough foreign exchange to introduce modern equipment.
"Not bad! I did say that at the meeting before! Moreover, the determination of the higher-ups was unquestionable!”Leader Zhu nodded and admitted, but then he changed the topic and said," However, we took too big a step in the past few years, and there was a serious shortage of funds!”
"Now, I might as well tell you the truth. This is all the funds the country can give! We only have two options!"
"Either we reduce it by 50 million meters of gold! Of course, it would be best if this could be achieved. The project could be launched immediately!”
"Or we can take it slow and wait for the country's economy to recover before we restart!”
"Other than these two paths, there is no third path, and there will never be a third path!”
Leader Zhu set the tone. Both Qiu Chunsheng and Wang Shengli were speechless!
This was a rhythm that had to be reduced!
Qiu Chunsheng scratched his head and turned to look at Cao Jianjun, the chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry's 1880mm hot rolling mill introduction project."
"Little Cao! You're the chief engineer of this project, and you're also the person in charge of contacting the Japanese side. Tell me, is there any room for reduction?？”
Chief Engineer Cao Jianjun adjusted his glasses and stood up!
……
Yang Zhenxing, who was sitting in the corner, basically had no right to speak!
Not only did Yang Zhenxing not have the right to speak, but even the factory leaders sitting in the same row as him and the two rows behind him also did not have the right to speak!
Jianggang's 1880 hot rolling mill project was a national project worth 300 million meters of gold!
Once it was successfully introduced, it could be said that it could save the country at least a billion dollars in foreign exchange expenditure.
What a pity!
The countries in the early Spring Breeze Stage were really too poor!
Once the Jianggang project was canceled, it would affect all the machinery factories in Jiangnan Province, and even all the machinery factories in the country.
Therefore!
None of the factory leaders present wanted the Jianggang project to be shelved or delayed because of a lack of funds!
They looked at the chief engineer of this project, Cao Jianjun, with anticipation in their eyes. They hoped that they could get another 50 million meters of gold from him!
What a pity!
Even the most authoritative chief engineer was helpless!
On the other hand, He Hongchang, who was standing in a corner, had an unkind smile on his face!
Because!
The higher-ups were fighting for this project.
Through the system, He Hongchang found relevant information about the 1880mm hot rolling mill project introduced by Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant in 1980.
According to the following process, the country still gritted its teeth and introduced this large project worth 300 million!
This should have been a political achievement that everyone would be happy with!
What a pity!
In the end, it was because of this project!
Leader Chu of the Beijing Department was retired early, Qiu Chunsheng of the Industry Department was demoted, and Chief Engineer Cao Jianjun was demoted to the end.
Jiang Gang and Wang Shengli, the old factory manager, fell ill from hatred because of this. In the end, he died in his hospital bed with grievances!
All of this!
It's all because of those Japanese bastards. They took advantage of our backward technology and didn't understand this project. They dug a big hole for us in this complete project.
