Chapter 298: Factory 132 with a New Look

It is said that force can defeat skill. Fang Xiang did not have that much time to beat around the bush with these people.

Another month passed. When Fang Xiang first arrived in Chengdu, there were 8 people accompanying him.

Now there are only three people left.

As for which three they were, Fang Xiang was not very interested in knowing.

Because he was already very busy.

First, Director Ma was transferred directly from Second Automobile Works to Factory 132 and served as the first secretary.

Although we have moved from Luoyi to the more remote southwest, the level has been raised by half a level.

From the first time he met Fang Xiang, Director Ma expressed his intention to stay in this position until retirement.

Actually, that’s true. Director Ma is already in his fifties.

After more than ten years of development, if it weren't for Fang Xiang, even if he had had smooth sailing, he would have only received the treatment of a proper retiree when he retired.

It is not possible like now, where one can secure department-level treatment even ten years before retirement.

And at Second Automobile Works, there are still a lot of people queuing up according to their seniority and merit, waiting for advancement.

The transfer of Director Ma is also a good thing for these people. After all, a small step forward is also progress, right?

As for Cao Tianwei, after working as deputy chief engineer for more than ten years, he has finally been promoted to a regular employee.

But for Cao Tianwei, the difference between being upright and being upright is actually not that big.

On the contrary, because of Fang Xiang's departure, he made several phone calls, and his words and actions revealed his lack of confidence.

Come to think of it, it makes sense. Back then, Fang Xiang founded the BMW brand from scratch. Over a decade later, it went from being a brand that no one cared about to now being one of the top two luxury car brands in the world.

But with Fang Xiang's departure, this burden now falls on him.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that I was nervous, but it is certain that I was under a lot of psychological pressure.

Fortunately, before Fang Xiang left, he had just completed the work of replacing the entire series with a new generation.

From now on, it will just be minor repairs and preliminary research for the next generation.

At least, before the six-year replacement period arrives, Cao Tianwei will not face any real pressure.

Just maintain the current sales volume and make small-scale upgrades and fine-tuning based on market conditions.

What he needs to do now is to start developing the confidence to stand on his own.

The second thing is the difficulties raised by the former Secretary Wang.

Fang Xiang refused at that time, but after returning to his office, he thought about it carefully and felt that what the other person said made sense.

Factory 132 has experienced more than a decade of turmoil, and production has basically never been stable.

Although the mechanical equipment benefited from Fang Xiang's help, it was also updated several times.

But whether it is the quality of workers, the enthusiasm of employees, or the obsolescence of hardware facilities, they are all objective realities.

This is also why among the large group of people who came from Beijing a month ago, there were people from the General Logistics Department.

Just within a month, the area surrounding Factory 132 has gradually turned into a large construction site.

As for the support from Mr. Liu, I have to say that no one has done more than him.

Let’s talk about the test flight airport first, which has expanded from one runway to three runways.

Not to mention whether three runways can be used, after all, most airports in the country currently do not have three runways.

But the attitude is absolutely right. You can not use it, but I cannot not repair it!

Then came the construction of staff dormitories, staff living areas, staff entertainment areas, staff hospitals, staff schools and the expansion of the factory area.

It is also carried out simultaneously.

I won't elaborate on the standards, but they are definitely two levels higher than the standards used when Fang Xiang designed Luoqi in the 2s.

In terms of quantity, it is also large and sufficient. No matter whether you can use so much or not, I have repaired it anyway!

As soon as the news of the project expansion and the resignation of a large number of factory leaders came out.

The impression that the other party had of all the employees in Factory 132 was that they had made a -degree turn on the spot.

To be honest, most of the employees in the factory knew what kind of person the previous factory leader was.

This is also why, at the beginning, a little rumor about Fang Xiang, who had just arrived, spread like wildfire so quickly. It was also because they regarded Fang Xiang as an enemy of the same kind.

But seeing the new chief engineer, the three fires did not burn on them.

But when the fire spread to the management, cheers and applause suddenly filled the factory.

Even many employees in the old family quarters bought firecrackers and set them off happily for three days.

With the resignation of a number of management, the number of redundant staff in the factory was reduced by nearly a thousand in just two weeks.

Among them, more than half left on their own initiative, and only a small number were fired.

It turns out that all of those people who left had connections or backgrounds.

Basically, they are some local people with background and strength who force their unpromising children and relatives to work for them and collect salaries without doing anything.

When several key leaders of the province, city and factory suddenly disappeared or lost contact.

Some highly sensitive people smelled something and quickly looked for other connections and transferred those with close relationships to other units.

More often than not, although the reaction is slow, more and more officials and management are being placed under double supervision.

I finally understood that Fang Xiang really has an extremely powerful background.

If you don't leave on your own, are you waiting for others to come and find fault with you?

Even if the time is too short and there is no other unit to accept me, I will resign immediately.

As for the remaining half, they were not good enough from the beginning, or they had not done any serious work in the past ten years and have been muddling along like this ever since.

Once these people left, the factory with more than 5000 employees suddenly lost nearly a thousand people.

As a result, many of the houses that were originally full were vacated.

The graduates who were originally recruited from the Aviation College no longer have to rent houses outside and can be directly placed in the staff housing estates.

Finally, there is a small group of people, who are the leaders who have done a lot of bad things in the past decade or so.

The reason why these people have not been liquidated is that they have found various ways.

With Fang Xiang's arrival, Factory 132 underwent a complete transformation in just over a month.

The employees who had been wronged by them suddenly burst out with great energy.

The background of those people were also dug out.

The reporting materials alone filled up half the office.

Fang Xiang doesn't have the mood or energy to care about these things.

Whenever there are more than three people making cross-reports, there may be complaints, but nothing will be missed.

Fang Xiang sent them all to the local police station.

At one point, the police station was overcrowded, and a large number of police officers had to be mobilized from the municipal bureau and provincial department to provide guarding and maintain order.

The prison in Jinniu District, which was originally empty, was filled to the brim within just a few days.

Come to think of it, one and a half months is not a short time.

But in the eyes of the employees of Factory 132, everything turned upside down in the blink of an eye, without any psychological preparation.

Even the units at the provincial and municipal levels became tense.

It can be said that over the past month, almost everyone in Sichuan Province knows Fang Xiang.

All kinds of news were passed back and forth in their ears and mouths.

There are quite a few good ones among them, but more are negative.

But Fang Xiang still didn't care. He even wished those people were scared to death of him.

Besides, he didn't have time to deal with those people because he was busy revising the drawings.

The drawings of the J-11 have been stored at Factory 112 for more than ten years.

After many changes and adjustments, it is not completely unrecognizable compared to his earliest drawings.

But there were quite a few of them that he didn't even recognize.

Moreover, many of the changes were actually for the worse.

After investigating the reason, Fang Xiang understood it at a glance, but he felt helpless inside.

It was nothing more than tens of thousands of changes and adjustments over the past decade, all in order to cope with the materials and technology at the time and to make compromises in order for the prototype to be able to fly into the sky for test flights.

But just when Fang Xiang had figured out the idea and started to modify the picture.

A piece of news came and had to interrupt his work.
