Chapter 164 Joint Technology Center Establishment Plan
In the conference room, Secretary Zhang and Director Yang looked at each other, their brows filled with worry and uneasiness.
In just half a morning, their world was completely turned upside down.
First, General Lin publicly expressed his intention to recruit Li Yang, and then the top leader also announced that a joint research institute would be established next to the steel mill.
All this indicates that Li Yang, this irreplaceable talent, will soon slip away from their hands.
Director Yang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, feeling infinite regret in his heart.
Li Yang had just developed a new type of steel rolling mill, and they were still looking forward to the day when this young man could transform the entire steel mill.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the big boss would actually take away this fertile land. In the future, they may only be able to quench their thirst by looking at the plums.
At this moment, the leader looked around and suddenly broke the silence: "Okay, everyone, since we have come to this point, why don't we start studying the specific matters of the joint research institute now."
After saying that, he walked towards the meeting room, followed by General Lin and Xiao Wu.
Secretary Zhang and Director Yang looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They could only temporarily suppress their unhappiness and quickly followed.
……
Soon, a group of people arrived at the meeting room.
In the empty room, only a few beams of sunlight came in through the blinds, casting a few shadows on the concrete floor.
Everyone sat down at the long table in twos and threes. There was complete silence for a moment as everyone waited for the leader's opening remarks.
The leader coughed lightly, looked around, and signaled everyone to be quiet. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he spoke solemnly: "Everyone, we are here today to discuss the specific matters of establishing a joint technology research institute."
"My idea is very simple." The leader said in a firm and powerful tone, "That is to separate all the existing personnel and equipment from the technical department of the steel rolling mill, and at the same time transfer a group of technical forces from several other steel companies to jointly establish an independent research institute. This institute will be built on the vacant land next to the steel rolling mill, and will be responsible for technical research and equipment research and development in the national steel industry in the future."
When the big boss said this, he suddenly stood up and swept his sharp eyes over everyone present like a sword.
"You must have the overall perspective and not just focus on your own factory! Now is a critical period for the rise of my country's steel industry. We urgently need a strong technical team to lead the development of the industry. You can't be conservative and stick to the old ways!"
Secretary Zhang and Director Yang lowered their heads in guilt after being scolded by the leader's frank words.
They are the persons in charge of the steel mill and should focus on the overall interests of the mill rather than just the present.
But the leader's decision was too sudden, and they had no time to prepare themselves mentally.
Seeing the two men speechless, the leader realized that his tone might have been too harsh.
So he pretended to be gentle and smiled at the two of them: "Of course, this is just my initial idea. You can still speak freely and put forward your own opinions."
Li Yang saw it all and felt for Secretary Zhang and Director Yang.
Although their ideas were a bit old-fashioned, they were also sincere about their love for the steel mill.
If the steel mill's technical strength is completely stripped away, this decades-old factory will really suffer.
So, Li Yang stood up and said sincerely: "Big leader, Secretary Zhang and Director Yang's concerns are understandable. If the steel mill loses the backbone of the technical department, many things will be difficult to continue in the future."
"However, I personally still agree with your idea." Li Yang paused, took out a few documents from his arms, and spread them out on the table skillfully.
"The steel industry has always been a pillar industry of the national economy. Its development and modernization are not only related to the industrial process of the whole country, but also to the economic lifeline of the country. Therefore, we urgently need a professional and high-level research institution to coordinate the long-term development of the steel industry."
Li Yang stretched out his finger, gestured a few times on the information on the table, pointed to a process flow chart and said: "Take steelmaking and steel rolling as two key processes. Their advancement directly determines the quality grade of steel. However, my country's current technological level in these two fields is quite backward. Many key equipment and processes are still at the level of the 40s, which is a step away from the international advanced level."
"Therefore, I believe that one of the key tasks of the institute in the future is to conduct comprehensive technical research and equipment upgrades for steelmaking and rolling processes." Li Yang said in a sincere and persuasive tone.
"Only by breaking through the technical bottlenecks in these two areas and fully realizing the modernization of the steel industry can we truly keep pace with the international standards and achieve leapfrog development."
Li Yang spoke eloquently and forcefully. Both the senior leader and General Lin were moved by his words and nodded in agreement.
Even Secretary Zhang and Director Yang were completely convinced at this point, and the spark of hope was rekindled in their eyes.
"What Xiao Li said makes a lot of sense!" The senior leader applauded and praised sincerely, "It seems that the future development direction of this institute has gradually become clear."
After hearing the leader's words, Secretary Zhang and Director Yang looked delighted. They looked at Li Yang, expecting the young man to give a satisfactory answer.
Li Yang took a deep breath and slowly said, "Although this research institute is directly led by the Ministry of Industry, I think the daily operation and management should still be handed over to the existing technical personnel of the steel mill. Because they not only have solid professional qualities, but also have rich practical experience."
"As for the specific research direction of the institute, we certainly need further planning and discussion." Li Yang paused, his eyes became sharp, "But I personally think that in the next few years we should focus on the technical research of steelmaking and steel rolling processes. At present, these two fields are already at a bottleneck period in China. If we can make substantial breakthroughs, it will be a huge boost to the overall level of my country's steel industry."
Li Yang's tone was sincere and emotional, and everyone present was convinced by his words.
Even Secretary Zhang and Director Yang had hope rekindled in their eyes.
They seemed to realize that although the research institute was about to be established, the steel mill would not be completely abandoned, and they could still focus part of their attention here in the future.
The senior leader was also convinced by Li Yang's detailed explanation and nodded in agreement: "Xiao Li's words are very insightful. The management structure of this institute will be arranged according to your ideas for the time being. However, we still need to discuss the specific staffing issues further."
"As for the research direction, the focus should indeed be on the two areas of steelmaking and steel rolling." The senior leader patted the table, with a confident look on his face, "As long as we are determined and work hard to overcome these two major difficulties, I firmly believe that in the near future, my country's steel industry will be able to achieve an overall breakthrough!"
"Oh, Xiao Li." The leader suddenly remembered something and looked at Li Yang with a smile. "Since you have such a deep understanding of steelmaking and steel rolling technology, why don't you join the institute and be responsible for specific technical research and development? I believe that with young people like you at the helm, we will be able to achieve technological breakthroughs as soon as possible."
Li Yang was deeply moved by the leader's earnest invitation and nodded solemnly.
He smiled at the leader and said from the bottom of his heart: "I feel extremely honored to be able to contribute to the steel industry of our country. I will definitely go all out and fight shoulder to shoulder, and will never let you down!"
In this way, under the leadership of Li Yang, the meeting lasted for nearly two hours.
The participants discussed the issue one by one and carefully finalized the management structure and development plan of the institute.
Although there were some differences in the process, they were finally properly resolved under Li Yang's mediation.
By the time the meeting was over, the atmosphere in the venue had become completely heated.
Everyone's face was filled with confidence and expectation. Even Secretary Zhang and Director Yang, who had initially held a reserved attitude, were now greatly encouraged and showed excitement.
