Sun Zongyuan listened to the opinions of several executives one by one, considered it for a while and said:
"The car project will be temporarily produced here for six months. I will give you a clear opinion in two months."
Sun Zongyuan took into consideration that Li Chuanyu would be assigned to a provincial position next, so it would be better to place the automobile project in the provincial capital. Li Chuanyu's appointment was a big gift package given to him by Sun Zongyuan. The issue of production license should be coordinated between the province and the ministry, and there should be no problem.
"For the agricultural vehicle project, I'm thinking about whether to cooperate with the regional tractor factory. We can first set up the production line, and then the group will follow up after I have negotiated a framework with the region."
Li Chuanyu went to the provincial government, and Tan Chengui came to the Civil Affairs Department to serve as secretary. Sun Zongyuan would have to give the new secretary and commissioner a big project as a favor.
In China, to do a good job, one needs not only ability, but also IQ and EQ, and being politically conscious comes first.
"Let's start the electric car project now. Choose a suitable location on the land I bought and plan 500 mu. Is 150 mu enough for initial construction? If so, we can start construction and aim to start production by the end of May. Is funding a problem?"
President Wang Cuncai said there was no problem.
Sun Zongyuan continued:
The technology for these projects is mature. The key is to have a well-equipped production line. If domestic supporting equipment is not good enough, we will purchase it from international sources. We must use advanced technology and equipment to ensure product quality. We would rather wait for the equipment to arrive than have the factory and equipment built. At the same time, personnel must be fully trained in advance, workers need to be professional, and measures should be taken to encourage technical workers to take exams. Those with poor moral character will not be employed.
"The group needs to study the implementation of 5S management in each company. We need to use scientific management to improve the level of our group. Technology and equipment are tangible, while management is intangible. We need to connect with the world's management level and strive to reach world-class standards within two years."
"Mayor Sun, we have started the management improvement plan and we will continue to work hard!"
Wang Cuncai answered on behalf of the group.
"What's going on with our gearbox? Any progress?"
"Mr. Qian, please tell us about this project."
"Okay, Mayor Sun. Our early stage automotive transmission project was jointly developed with the Mechanical Engineering College of Shandong University. Laboratory tests have shown that the transmissions meet the same parameter requirements as the Santana transmission. We've subsequently developed and researched three models: 1.2, 1.8, and 2.0. The experimental prototypes have now begun testing, and we're constantly debugging any issues that arise. Overall, there are no major problems. We should be able to get the national inspection report around May 1st. Our plan is to initially put the 1.2 and 1.8 models into production, supporting our Jetta and Santana respectively. However, to support the Santana, we need to go to Shanghai for recommendations. We've tried some solutions, but the Shanghai Volkswagen factory isn't very interested in us. They don't trust our quality or our production capacity. It seems we'll have to find another way."
"Then let's do our own thing first and strive to get a higher national test result than the Santana gearbox. A true forge must be strong, and this will test our technology. Foreigners won't give you orders just for the sake of favors."
Sun Zongyuan thought about it. It was very difficult to localize Santana cars in the past. The initial localization rate was less than 10%. Even the nuts had to be imported from Germany, not to mention the gearbox, one of the three major parts of the car. It seems that solid technology is the most correct path. There is no shortcut, and relying on connections will not work.
"We will continue research and development with Shandong University, increase investment and strive to achieve technical parameters that are at least 15% higher than theirs. We will then produce a batch of prototypes for Shanghai Volkswagen to test. Their testing may be even more stringent than our national testing. Everyone should be mentally prepared. If we don't make a splash, we must make a splash! If we meet my requirements, I will find a way to get Shanghai Volkswagen to use our gearbox as a component."
"Of course, our processing equipment must be advanced. We have already imported some advanced processing equipment in the early stage. We must be forward-looking and achieve an annual production capacity of 400,000 sets in advance. Technical workers must be thoroughly trained to reduce the defective rate to the lowest level. Remember, we don't have a second chance."
Sun Zongyuan said with emotion.
Even if we can successfully provide Santana with supporting equipment in the second half of the year, it will be a major breakthrough in the localization of this project. If it is done well, it will probably win a national award.
The direction is clear, and its implementation is the responsibility of the group.
Three days later, Deputy Mayor Nie Ning brought relevant personnel to the town office again.
Secretary Zhao Yuncheng also came to the conference room and listened to their report with Sun Zongyuan.
President Cao first said:
"Secretary, Mayor, our hospital recently invited experts from the County Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the People's Hospital to conduct a survey of patients with stomach problems admitted to our hospital over the past five years. They've determined that approximately 40% currently have stomach cancer, of which over 18% have passed away. We still have over 30 patients in severe cases and over 40 in the middle stage of the disease. This far exceeds the prevalence of stomach cancer in the province and the country."
Wei Qian, deputy director of the county CDC, said:
"County Magistrate Zhao, Town Mayor Sun, preliminary epidemiological investigations indicate that Fushan Town is a high-incidence area for gastric cancer. In addition to our investigations in Fushan Town, preliminary investigations in surrounding towns and villages over the past two days have revealed that the high incidence of gastric cancer is not limited to Fushan Town. Gastric cancer rates in other towns also exceed the national average. According to regulations, we need to report this to the county. This matter is of great importance, and we also need to report it to the higher-level health bureau."
"What caused this situation?" Zhao Yuncheng asked anxiously.
"Gastric cancer has many causes, including dietary issues, drinking water problems, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and perhaps even genetic defects among the people living here. Epidemiological investigations are needed to identify the causes before targeted prevention and treatment can be implemented. Without investigations, we have no right to speak."
Yan Weixiao, director of the Department of Internal Medicine at Anyang County People's Hospital, replied.
After several professionals finished their reports, Secretary Zhao Yuncheng signaled Sun Zongyuan to make arrangements. In fact, this was the first time he encountered such a problem and he didn't know how to arrange it.
"The opinions and suggestions raised by the comrades just now are very good. I have a few ideas for everyone to discuss. First, we should formulate a professional work report and submit it to the county party committee, county government, and higher-level health authorities. Second, I suggest that the provincial higher-level health authorities dispatch an expert team to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Fushan Town and related townships in Anyang County to determine how many areas are implicated. Another aspect is to thoroughly investigate the causes of this situation. What are the preventive and control measures? With the current high incidence of gastric cancer, do higher-level authorities have any subsidized treatment policies? Finally, we should minimize publicity to avoid panic and confusion among the people. Does anyone have anything else to add? Oh, no one has any. Secretary Zhao, please give your instructions!"
Sun Zongyuan said.
