Chapter 591 Long Fuhai’s Little Plan

Sha Ruijin recounted what he had seen, heard and felt, but he did not notice that Qin Huaiting's face was getting darker and darker. Sha Ruijin did not know that the six provincial party committee standing committee members who were targeted this time all had some connection with the designated cities.

It was Tianzhou Coal Mine that Qin Huaiting became connected with.

In 1959, with the vigorous development of national industrial construction, Hangang, as an important pillar enterprise in the steel industry, continued to expand its production scale.

This expansion brought about a significant change - the demand for coal resources showed a sharp increase, and the Wenshan Coal Mine could no longer meet basic production needs.

Faced with such an urgent energy demand situation, the survey team discovered the second largest coalfield in Hanjiang in Tianzhou, and the project of Tianzhou Coal Mine came into being.

In 1960, Qin Huaiting, then 23 years old, was entrusted with an important task and became the first general manager of Tianzhou Coal Mine.

It can be said that Qin Huaiting’s shadow is indispensable in the development of Tianzhou Coal Mine from nothing to something, and from small to large.

Sha Ruijin concluded: "Regarding the Tianzhou Coal Mine, I believe there are two problems. One is the corruption problem within the Mining Bureau and Tianzhou Coal Industry.

Driven by profit, they sold coal at will, and the consequence was that dozens of uncontrolled small coal mines appeared around Tianzhou Coal Mine. These small coal mines were mined blindly underground, which had seriously affected the safety of Tianzhou Coal Mine.

The second is the problem of Tianzhou Coal Mine itself, which has backward technology, low mining capacity, and inadequate safety measures.

In many cases, there is no scientific exploration and mining, and we still follow the old crude and stupid methods, which lead to serious empiricist errors.

Therefore, I believe that Tianzhou Coal Mine must stop production operations as soon as possible and carry out comprehensive rectification work.

Through thorough and in-depth reforms, we have abandoned outdated concepts and models and actively introduced advanced management concepts, scientific mining technologies, and efficient and safe operating procedures."

Long Fuhai seemed to be hearing Sha Ruijin's words for the first time and interrupted, "Comrade Ruijin, just talk about the problem. Why are you criticizing empiricism again?

Besides, Tianzhou Coal Mine has been operating for over 30 years without any major problems. What does this prove? It proves that past experience is valuable and the past model is correct. Don't constantly use advanced international experience to negate the facts we have explored ourselves.

Qin Huaiting had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes kept moving between Long Fuhai and Sha Ruijin's faces, with no sign of joy or anger.

Sha Ruijin's words were indeed unpleasant to hear, but he was not a fool. How could he be used as a gun by Long Fuhai without knowing it?

Sha Ruijin said: "I am not denying the past facts of our Tianzhou Coal Mine. Objectively speaking, the experience back then was correct. Because our country's technology was backward, we could only trade safety for time and development. But this does not mean it is still correct now."

Long Fuhai didn't argue with Sha Ruijin anymore. Instead, he looked at Qin Huaiting with a forced smile and said, "Minister Qin, look at this. Our Mayor Sha is truly a pioneer of reform. He's young and energetic, and he wants to overhaul the old and establish the new right from the start. He really doesn't know his place."

Qin Huaiting smiled and said, "I think it's very good. We need such leading cadres. Talented people emerge in every generation, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years." He patted the sofa and stood up without interest. "Okay, let's stop here today. I think Comrade Ruijin has his own ideas about the coal mine. I still respect the decision of the Provincial Party Committee and don't be a mother-in-law. Just go ahead and do whatever you have in mind.

Now, I just want to complete the task assigned to us by Secretary Pei as soon as possible.

When I came down, Secretary Pei specifically instructed me to thoroughly investigate the actual situation of the laid-off workers on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee. It's still early, so I plan to go down and take a look. It's important to get the job done."

Long Fuhai and Sha Ruijin quickly stood up.

Long Fuhai said, "Okay, I'll go down with you."

Qin Huaiting waved his hand. "No need. Just ask any comrade to accompany me. We can travel light. You two leaders should think about how to reform."

Long Fuhai refused and insisted on accompanying Qin Huaiting on the inspection. "Minister Qin, you are an old leader of our Tianzhou. Your inspection is to test our work. I have to accompany you and accept your criticism at all times so that I can arrange for the people below to make timely corrections."

At this moment, Sha Ruijin also heard the hidden meaning. An old leader of Tianzhou? Could it be that he was in charge of the Tianzhou Coal Mine in the past? Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a reaction.

Even so, Sha Ruijin would not change his mind. Not to mention the Organization Minister, even if Pei Yihong stepped down, he would still stick to his opinion that Tianzhou Coal Industry must be vigorously rectified.

Qin Huaiting said with a smile: "Comrade Fu Hai, look at you. I've already told you that I won't be your mother-in-law, but you don't trust me. Are you afraid that I will tell you about your bad deeds?"

Long Fuhai also smiled, "Look at what you said, how many cadres in our Tianzhou have grown up under your criticism, even I have received your guidance.

Even if you accuse me of something untoward, we will admit it, but I still have to accompany you, otherwise everyone in Tianzhou will think that I, Long Fuhai, am not polite enough and have neglected you."

Qin Huaiting was very happy to be praised by Long Fuhai. The slight unhappiness he had felt at being plotted against also disappeared. "Okay, okay, then I have to make it clear first. Don't lead me to those beautiful places. I won't sing your praises. We must seek truth from facts."

Long Fuhai agreed, "I'll make sure you see it objectively. Let's pick a few typical, representative places to look at. Today, let's choose Taizi County. How about the Tianzhou Coal Mine?"

Long Fuhai immediately hit Qin Huaiting's sore spot. These two places were the starting point of his official career.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Long Fuhai then instructed Ma Lifeng, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, to arrange a car and accompanying personnel. He then said to Sha Ruijin, "Comrade Ruijin, you should also make preparations."

Sha Ruijin glanced at Minister Qin and nodded, and had to put the matter of meeting his daughter aside for the time being.

But Qin Huaiting felt that Sha Ruijin was somewhat reluctant. He already had a hint of displeasure, and now his feeling was even worse. "Forget it, it's enough to have Comrade Fu Hai accompany us. There's no need for the top leaders of the party and government to come along. That would be too much of a fuss."

Paying attention to Qin Huaiting's micro-expressions, Long Fuhai knew that his plan had worked. "Well, Comrade Ruijin, you continue to stay in the city government, and I will accompany Minister Qin for a walk."

Sha Ruijin felt that something was wrong, but there was no way to remedy the situation. He was a mid-level cadre and did not need to please Qin Huaiting, and the other party could not decide his promotion.

Besides, this misunderstanding has already emerged and it cannot be clarified in a few words. At least it is a fact that he wants to reform Tianzhou Coal Mine.

But he didn't expect that Long Fuhai would trick him this time. The two of them won one and lost one, which was considered a draw.

Sha Ruijin said a few polite words and turned to leave the municipal party secretary's office.

Looking at Sha Ruijin's back, Qin Huaiting shook his head secretly. He was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He had no hope of promotion and was approaching retirement. There was no need to tear his face with such a young man. Besides, he was the Minister of Organization after all, and he knew a thing or two about Sha Ruijin's background. To be honest, he really couldn't afford to offend him.
