Chapter 813 Third-tier factory
Fang Minghua had been to Tianhan ten years ago, when he and Lu Yao were invited for an interview. Although more than ten years have passed, the transportation from Xijing to Tianhan area is still inconvenient. It is still the same as last time, leaving Xijing at 9 p.m. After setting off, it took a full twelve hours of train ride to cross the Qinling Mountains and reach the Tianhan area.
Entering the Tianhan Basin, the surrounding environment changes. There are green wheat seedlings and blooming rapeseed flowers everywhere, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Fang Minghua feels that the sky here is bluer than that in Xijing.
The ninth meeting of the fourth presidium of the Provincial Writers Association and the seventh meeting of the council were held in Hanyuan Hotel. Fang Minghua, Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Provincial Writers Association, presided over the meeting, and Chen Zhongshi, Chairman of the Writers Association, made a work report on behalf of the presidium.
More than 100 people in total attended the meeting, including all directors of the fourth council of the Provincial Writers' Association, heads of writers' associations from various cities and industries, and some employees of the Provincial Writers' Association.
At the meeting, members of the presidium of the Writers Association sat on the rostrum. Chen Zhongshi made a work report on behalf of the presidium, briefing the main work since 1998, deploying key tasks for the next step, and proposing to strengthen the self-esteem and confidence of literature in the new era, and to work hard with heart, emotion and effort. Tell Chinese stories well; we must adhere to the original aspirations and responsibilities of writers in the new era, maintain integrity, promote virtues, and leave a clear name in the pursuit of both virtue and art; we must adhere to the integrity and innovation of the New Era Writers Association, and continuously enhance the attractiveness and cohesion of the Writers Association organization , influence and activity.
"Comrades, this year is the last year of the 20th century. We are about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the motherland, and Macau is about to return to the embrace of the motherland. At this time of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, the literary Shaanxi Army must continue its fine traditions and strive to write A new chapter in the high-quality development of literature in Qin Province in the new era, welcoming the arrival of the new century! ”
There was warm applause at the venue.
Of course, this is not just talk. The National Writers Association has issued a document asking all provincial writers associations to call on and encourage writers to go deep into rural areas, enterprises, schools, and military camps to write excellent literary works that reflect the times and are down-to-earth.
The Document Writers Association has already studied it internally, so everyone knows it very well.
The meeting lasted for three days, and then, under the arrangement of the local government, a tour of scenic spots in the Tianhan area was organized.
Ancient Han Terrace, Baohe Plank Road, Wuhou Temple
But Fang Minghua didn't go.
He had already visited once ten years ago and wrote a collection of essays "Fragments of Civilization". Most of the articles described the historical and cultural relics of the Tianhan area, which opened the prelude to cultural prose.
He now wants to see where his brother-in-law Liu Jianjun is on a business trip.
After Liu Jianjun returned from studying abroad last year, he was promoted to deputy director of the 618 Institute, and he immediately invested in the early warning aircraft research and development project. He is the person in charge of the surveillance radar subsystem project. Recently, he has been on business trips at Factory 182, which is located in the Tianhan area.
Fang Minghua wanted to take a look, so he walked around for a while, which could be regarded as collecting scenery. He is very interested in companies in third-tier areas.
The so-called third-tier enterprises, also known as "third-tier factories", originated in the 1960s. In response to the deteriorating international situation at that time, the country decided to strengthen the construction of the defense industry in the central and western regions. Since 1964, large-scale military industrial enterprise construction has been carried out in the third-tier areas of the central and western regions.
Among them, Base 012 is built in the Tianhan area, and Factory 182 is the largest aircraft assembly enterprise within the base.
In the evening, Fang Minghua dialed Liu Jianjun's mobile phone number, and the other party answered, but unfortunately: "Brother, I'm not in Factory 182 now. I'm on a business trip to Nanjing for work matters."
Fang Minghua was a little disappointed, but Liu Jianjun said on the phone: "It doesn't matter. If you want to go, I'll contact my college classmate. His name is Ke Bing. He works at the 182 Factory Design Institute. He is now the director of the special department of the institute. We went to school in the same dormitory. , the relationship is very good, let him show you around.”
"Okay." Fang Minghua agreed.
The next morning, everyone was excitedly preparing to take a bus trip. Fang Minghua told Chen Zhongshi about the incident and asked for leave. The result was informed by the deputy director of the municipal government office who organized the meeting.
The deputy director, surnamed Wang, is very enthusiastic. When he heard that Fang Minghua was going to Factory 182, he immediately said: "Chairman Fang, I will contact the base leaders and ask them to send a car to take you there."
"Then please trouble Director Wang."
Fang Minghua didn't refuse. He heard from Liu Jianjun that he had to go to the city bus station to take a minibus to get to Factory 182. It would be troublesome to take a bus with few cars and many people.
Of course it is convenient to have a car delivered.
Secretary-General Wang took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then told Fang Minghua that the base would send someone to pick you up immediately. Please wait in the room for a while. Half an hour later, a black Santana drove into the hotel, and a middle-aged man got out of the car. He approached Fang Minghua and introduced himself as the deputy director of the base office, surnamed Zhang, and would accompany him to Factory 182.
Fang Minghua packed his luggage and followed Director Zhang to Santana. The car left the city and headed east along National Highway 108. Finally, it turned north and soon arrived at a market town.
What is different from other local market towns is that there are rows of red brick family buildings on both sides of the road, many of which are still the common tube buildings in the 1960s and 1970s.
On the way, Fang Minghua also saw people wearing factory uniforms.
"Part of the 182 Factory is located here, and we usually call it "Shanxia"." Director Zhang introduced it to Fang Minghua.
"Isn't there a mountain?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Yes, most of Factory 182 is still on the mountain, but it is not in the mountain but at the foot of the mountain. It is still 20 kilometers away from here"
"Is the design located on a mountain or up and down?"
"Except for the structure room, everything else is at the foot of the mountain." Director Zhang said.
"Then we're almost there." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"No, Chairman Fang, I will take you to the mountain because Mr. Wang is waiting for you on the mountain."
this?
"You are a famous writer. When you come to the factory, Mr. Wang and his friends will definitely welcome you. I have already made an agreement with Mr. Wang that they will give you the greatest support when you come to the factory to collect stories."
Is a private matter becoming a public matter again?
But Fang Minghua is used to it.
Passing through the market town and heading north, we walked for about twenty kilometers and arrived at another market town, which is the mountain that Director Zhang mentioned.
This place is already at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. Through the car window, I can see many family buildings built on the slope.
When Fang Minghua and the others arrived at the factory, Mr. Wang received him, along with a man in his fifties. Mr. Liu introduced him as their union chairman named Zheng Yuanchao.
"Chairman Fang, let's arrange your accommodation first. We have a guest house in the factory. After that, we will pick you up at noon - the name of Director Liu's classmate from 618 School you mentioned is Ke Bing?"
"Yes, the director of the special design office in the factory."
"I know, I just got promoted last year. Give him a call. If there's nothing urgent, ask him to come up and accompany you!"
Soon, Fang Minghua was assigned to the guest house in the factory, which was not far from the factory headquarters and just down the slope. After staying, he also had lunch in the guest house.
Fang Minghua also saw Ke Bing, who came all the way from the mountain. He was wearing a blue factory uniform and glasses and was elegant.
There were not many people eating, except for the few just now. Mr. Wang invited two vice presidents to accompany him. They drank local Chenggu wine, which Fang Minghua was very familiar with.
While everyone was eating and chatting, Fang Minghua was surprised to find that the three bosses and the union chairman, three of the four leaders, all spoke with Northeastern accents!
