Chapter 454 The Equipment Industry Department is established!
“Next year, that is, in 1998, there will definitely be a large-scale organizational adjustment.”
The people who can sit in this small room are all their own people, so Ding Gaoheng also directly Let’s get straight to the point, without any nonsense:
“Although the specific reform methods of each military industrial group have not yet been determined, the administrative functions of state-owned enterprises must be taken back. Therefore, what is certain at present is that our Science and Technology Commission will be reorganized. Now the administrative functions of the National Defense Department of the State Planning Commission, various military industrial units, and the management of some military-to-civilian enterprises will be placed under the reorganized New Science and Technology Working Committee. "
When this news comes out, the entire The originally tense atmosphere in the conference room naturally relaxed.
Although the units at the ministries and commissions level have the same level on paper, in fact they are divided into three, six or nine levels.
Even people who are truly out of vulgar taste always need a platform to realize their ideals.
Not to mention that most people are not that otherworldly.
So, everyone hopes to have more authority in their hands.
Of course, Chinese people are very restrained, so it is not easy to celebrate this kind of thing publicly. Even in a small gathering like this, everyone just applauded with joy on their faces.
However, someone soon discovered that something was not quite right.
"Director, in the past, although each unit was nominally responsible for managing the military-to-civilian enterprises, in fact, we were centralized and coordinated with the Ministry of Machinery Industry. There shouldn't be much change, right?"
The speaker was the chief of staff.
Of course, not all department-level leaders can participate in today's meeting. They are mainly the chief economist of the Science and Technology Commission and members of the leadership team.
He is mainly responsible for the conversion of the army into civilians, so I ask this question.
"This is the second thing I want to say."
Ding Gaoheng knocked on the table lightly, and the room suddenly became quiet:
"Judging from the current wind blowing above, further Opening the market is inevitable, and superiors are very confident in joining the World Trade Organization. Against this background, many people have suggested abolishing the current Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.”
"Cancelled..."
Compared with the first news, the second news is obviously not as pleasing to everyone.
Because the defense industry cannot exist independently from the country's overall industry.
These two units are almost the departments at the same level that have the most connections with each other except the National Science and Technology Commission and the Surgery Working Committee. Now that they are suddenly said to be gone, it still makes people feel a bit complicated.
On the other hand, an attempt was made to abolish the Ministry of Machinery Industry in 1987. As a result, many industrial fields that had been struggling to keep up lost investment and protection and were completely destroyed. The impact was very bad.
So it was added back in 1993.
“Isn’t it that the current Ministry of Machinery Industry... personally decided to rebuild it? Why is it canceled again?”
Most people are still confused about this.
“There is no way. These institutions are related to the degree of market openness. Some people are using the WTO negotiations to put pressure on us...including the Planning Commission, which also needs to be renamed the Development Planning Commission. To be honest, it can keep our science and industry It is quite difficult..."
Ding Gaoheng shook his head gently and explained everyone's doubts:
"The problem now is that the superiors also know that industrial development cannot There is no coordinating unit, so..."
His eyes swept over the people sitting in front of him:
"The State Economic and Trade Commission has established a Metallurgical Industry Bureau to assume some of the functions of the current Ministry of Metallurgical Industry."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes almost immediately focused on Chang Haonan.
The latter also immediately understood why he was being dragged into such a seemingly internal meeting.
After all, he had mentioned inadvertently before that he hoped to establish a department specifically in charge of equipment manufacturing under the Committee of Science and Industry, specifically responsible for things like heavy-duty die forging presses that require concentrated national efforts to promote. Key projects.
At least Ding Gaoheng and several deputy directors should have heard of it.
Even if everyone didn't pay much attention to it at the time, by now, they should have remembered it.
"I remember, Xiao Chang seemed to have said before that our Science and Technology Committee could..."
Zhang Dongxu, another deputy director sitting opposite Huai Guomo, spoke first, halfway through He looked at Ding Gaoheng, who was sitting in the first place, and after the latter nodded, he briefly described Chang Haonan's thoughts at that time, and then confirmed to Chang Haonan:
"Is that so, Comrade Haonan?"< br>
Lan Xinzhi, who was taking notes just now, has also closed the meeting minutes with great insight.
Of course, all the content of this kind of meeting must be written down, but what needs to be recorded as is and what needs to be handled flexibly is the time to test the secretary's skills.
Obviously, he has always performed well in this regard.
Chang Haonan nodded:
"Actually, I didn't think about it in such a long term at that time. It was just because I met Comrade Yan Yongnian, oh, he was an old professor at Qinghua University, Shen Hong. When Academician Shen’s students discussed heavy-duty die forging presses with him, they felt that it would be more convenient to have a unit in this field.”
It’s not that he is being modest here, it’s really not convenient for him to show it at this time. Too outrageous foresight——
It's unreasonable to think that you knew something that Ding Gaoheng didn't even know months in advance.
And even if he said that, it was shocking enough.
"I feel a little ashamed..."
The third deputy minister Shen Junrong put down the teacup in his hand:
"When I first heard this idea, I The first thought was that the young comrades integrated quickly, so they would help our Science and Technology Commission fight for power... Now it seems that they are still narrow-minded..."
Seeing that the situation was developing rapidly in a direction beyond his control, Chang Haonan quickly added: "Thanks to all the seniors and leaders for the compliments, but if I continue to praise them, I'm afraid I will float..."
The conference room was suddenly filled with cheerful air.
"Hahaha, if you can say this, it means you can't float."
Although Zhang Dongxu said this, he still did not continue.
After a brief moment of relaxation, the discussion quickly got to the point.
“No matter how we viewed Comrade Xiao Chang’s suggestion before, we must think about it seriously now.”
Ding Gaoheng signaled to Lan Xinzhi that he could start recording again, and then continued :
“The functions of the former Ministry of Machinery Industry are very complicated. Americans and those who advocate its abolition are not fools. We can’t completely take over a department-level department. The unit has been rounded up, so how to build this new department, what to manage, and what to abandon are the key points. "
The Ministry of Machinery Industry is the largest ministry in Chinese history. Even after reorganization, it is still a behemoth. It is larger than the entire Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
"Xiao Chang, tell me what you think?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Chang Haonan again.
He was the one who came up with the idea first, so you have to listen to his own opinion no matter what.
Lan Xinzhi’s hands were shaking when he was writing the names of the speakers.
In this record book, except for the person who recorded it, that is, himself, no names below the department or bureau level have ever appeared before.
Chang Haonan, who had been drafting for a long time before this, replied almost immediately:
"Dear heads, I think it must be to focus on the big and let go of the small, just like the former Ministry of Machinery Industry, everything is done in every detail. With the overall planning method, we cannot have so many people, and it may not meet the requirements of the new era. Therefore, it is enough to manage the key equipment and areas that can affect the development of the country. In this way, we can drive a lot of progress from one point to another. Technology development."
"As for the name of the new department, how about calling it the Equipment Industry Department?"
After Chang Haonan finished speaking, he looked at the group of big guys next to him.
When a leader really wants to hear the opinions of his subordinates, he will definitely not express his opinion first.
So Ding Gaoheng maintained silence.
"The Equipment Industry Department... is pretty good. It sounds like it has something to do with the military industry."
Zhang Dongxu nodded first.
Of course, on the surface, I say I agree with the naming, but in fact it is equivalent to expressing my support for the entire idea.
He came from the Ministry of Electronics Industry. He had a good impression of Chang Haonan when he worked with the 14th Research Institute on jamming equipment and the subsequent early warning aircraft project.
"Yes, it's just that ours is not weapons and equipment, but heavy manufacturing equipment. Let's play a word game with them..."
The chief of staff also stated that for him, multiple departments will only be It is naturally impossible to object to a good thing:
"In addition, I suggest that universities under the former Ministry of Machinery Industry can also be included?"
He was able to think of this because of the past. It was a painful experience. When the Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry was transformed into China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and placed under the management of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, no one paid much attention to this matter. Until Shanghai Jiaotong University was placed under the Ministry of Education, all talents I regret it so much when I think about it...
"This... may not be appropriate, at least I can't eat it all."
Huai Guomo, who had not spoken just now, shook his head:
"Our Equipment Industry Department, at least in name, does not inherit the original Ministry of Machinery Industry. It will only have a little duplication of functions. If even schools are included, That is to say, we won’t even act..."
"We can consider moving Luzhou University of Technology over. In the future, the aviation industrial park will be located in Luzhou. There must be one belonging to our science and engineering industry. Doesn’t the committee’s school provide supporting facilities?”
Chang Haonan remembered the report he wrote a few days ago.
“But isn’t Hunan University better?”
It didn’t take long for someone to disagree.
“Didn’t I say that we should keep a low profile? After all, we are still negotiating for WTO accession, so we have to give some face to the WTO...”
Someone explained.
"By the way, I remember there is another Yanshan University? It is under the Ministry of Machinery Industry."
"What university is Yanshan?"
"Yanshan University."
"What Mountain University?"
"..."
Obviously, this school does not have a strong sense of existence.
Lan Xinzhi once again closed the record book in his hand.
In this kind of haggling scene like buying vegetables at the wet market, you still need to protect yourself.
