Chapter 1117: Pick the Corn and Leave
"Hey, Xuewu, you didn't go to the signing ceremony with Fashang?"
In the corridor on the third floor, Cheng Kaiyuan saw Li Xuewu passing by the office door, so he stood up and greeted him.
Li Xuewu turned around and responded with a smile: "Deputy Director Cheng, I didn't go with you. It was Director Ding who accompanied the leader."
"Come on, I was just thinking of talking to you about the inspection team of Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Plant."
Cheng Kaiyuan called Li Xuewu into the room and asked his secretary to make tea.
"Don't bother, I'm drinking with Deputy Director Gu."
Li Xuewu waved his hand, called Zhang Shicheng, and walked over to sit opposite Cheng Kaiyuan's desk.
Zhang Shicheng knew that Li Xuewu didn't smoke, so he didn't go forward to hand him a cigarette and light it.
"This happened last week." Cheng Kaiyuan had a cigarette in his mouth, but when he saw that Li Xuewu had quit smoking, he took a deep puff and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
"Old Xia came to my place to transfer people and handle formalities, and I asked a few more questions."
Cheng Kaiyuan looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "I heard that the First Machine Factory is going to be split up, right? Is there a specific implementation plan?"
"Not yet. If there is any, I will definitely report it to you first."
Although Li Xuewu and Cheng Kaiyuan have an average relationship, their working relationship is very normal.
The office management system of the Red Star Factory was prepared and formulated by Li Xuewu, and he did not leave any back doors for himself.
And he was not going to destroy his own Great Wall and become the first person to violate the office system.
Even Li Huaide didn't want to see anyone violate the established office system and do tricks like using a word and a pen.
Therefore, when Li Xuewu said that there was an execution plan to merge with Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory, he must have communicated with Cheng Kaiyuan.
His work situation in the management committee has eased somewhat now, and Li Huaide does not want internal instability or any mistakes to occur at this time.
If it brings any interference to the company's upgrading and groupization, the loss will outweigh the gain.
Seriously, Li Xuewu still recognized Cheng Kaiyuan's work ability, especially in the area of production management.
When Kuang Yusheng mentioned Cheng Kaiyuan to Li Xuewu in private, he was full of praise for him.
Of course, Kuang Yusheng was also extremely annoyed by the things that the other party did in organizational life.
But this does not prevent us from comprehensively and positively evaluating Cheng Kaiyuan as a person who has management skills and wisdom.
Otherwise, the Beijing No. 2 Machinery Factory would not have made rapid progress under his leadership and survived the movements in the past few years.
"Director Li's opinion is to demolish it. This is part of the process of integrating resources."
Li Xuewu explained: "Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory is an old factory with a long history. It has many branches, most of which even overlap with the Red Star Factory."
"The initial opinion of the investigation is to implement it in three steps: demolition, integration and modification."
"I can understand the dismantling and combining, but how should we change it and what will it be like?"
Cheng Kaiyuan took a sip of hot tea, looked at Li Xuewu and reminded him, "I looked at the information about Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory. It costs at least 5 million yuan."
“So we need to handle factory assets with caution and prudence.”
Li Xuewu nodded seriously and said, "Tear down the branches or excellent assets that can be operated independently, implement flat transformation, and directly transition to group-managed branches."
"Merge departments with the same attributes and bring them under the management of Red Star Factory. For example, the service department should be transferred to the service department of Red Star Factory and a three-level branch management system should be established."
"The change is naturally to deal with non-performing assets. This part will not be carried out until the separation and merger steps are completed."
Li Xuewu thought about it carefully before speaking: "Reforming does not mean selling these assets as garbage or ignoring them."
“My advice is to optimize and change.”
He stressed: "Whether it is aging machines, backward technology, or even mediocre workers, the overall lack of combat effectiveness and competitiveness."
"We can separate these factories, set up joint ventures, and establish a responsibility management system."
"Responsibility management system?" Cheng Kaiyuan's eyebrows jumped slightly when he heard him mention this, and then he asked, "What does Director Li mean?"
"No, it's my personal opinion."
Li Xuewu looked at him and said seriously: "Rather than dealing with these non-performing assets, it is better to create a test field, or you can call it a responsibility field."
"That's a very insightful statement. I didn't expect you to have research on rural agriculture."
Cheng Kaiyuan looked at Li Xuewu, smiled and nodded, motioning him to continue.
"It's just an analogy, but the meaning is that," Li Xuewu explained, "Since we don't produce grain anyway, we might as well turn it upside down and create a cadre competition mechanism, so that the capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted."
"My principle is to integrate internal resources without investing a penny, to give generous rewards and honors, and to truly train a group of young, promising and courageous cadres."
"Heavy rewards and honors really train people."
Cheng Kaiyuan pondered carefully, nodded slowly and said: "If you can revitalize the factory and bring it back to life, it is only natural to reward and honor it generously."
"Of course, this requires not only the emphasis on the management responsibility system for cadres, but also the management responsibility system for production."
He looked at Li Xuewu, tapped the table and said, "When carrying out internal reforms, we must be careful about the degree of change and pay attention to the attitude of the masses."
"Yes, I understand your opinion." Li Xuewu made a note in his notebook and explained: "Material rewards and spiritual rewards go hand in hand."
"There is nothing wrong with the concept of experimental fields and responsibility fields. I agree with it."
Cheng Kaiyuan thought about it, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Have you ever thought about changing the existing industrial system of Red Star Factory and taking this path?"
"It's not a question of whether or not you want to go. You have to think about it and you have to ask him."
Li Xuewu didn't care whether his question would cause any responsibility, and said seriously: "Three years later, the steel mill will be relocated to the steel city, and a large number of service-supporting branch factories will be left behind."
There is no doubt about it, it will happen. The new steel rolling mill built by Red Star Factory in Gangcheng will adopt the world's most advanced steel rolling technology.
Moreover, the new steel rolling mill will no longer have so many branches attached to it. After the flattening operation, it will be one of the professional factories managed as a group.
That is to say, existing branches will be separated from independent operations during the upgrading and groupization process.
In the process of development towards the future, some smaller branch factories will inevitably have difficulties in survival and operation.
If it relies entirely on the head office or the group for support, it will be headless and will be like a vampire hanging on the group.
What Cheng Kaiyuan and Li Xuewu asked was the future direction of these factories and whether they would be operated in accordance with the responsible management philosophy they were talking about.
Li Xuewu’s opinion is that no matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.
Small factories are most likely to achieve great results. They have few people but united minds, so it is easier to turn around, delegate responsibilities and authority, provide good services and supporting facilities, grasp the general direction, and let them run wild.
These days, in both industry and commerce, it is a situation where the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimps, regardless of whether it is a planned economy or a market economy.
Otherwise, how could the Red Star Factory acquire Yingcheng Shipyard and Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory?
The first person who actually gained support and recognition for Li Xuewu's ideas was Li Huaide.
It's very simple. Li Huaide wants to take control of personnel and train his own team.
At present, the departments in Red Star Factory that are most suitable for training cadres are the Tianjin Trade Management Center and the tertiary industry.
The rolling mills and steelmaking plants are stagnant internally, cadres are not easily transferred or replaced, and their power is relatively stable.
This is what Li Huaide least wants to see, so he must boldly employ young people and support young cadres to take up leadership positions.
Li Xuewu mentioned that some loss-making or supporting projects with weak overall production capacity should be dumped and handed over to young cadres for management and operation, which pleased Li Huaide very much.
In order to run small factories, the radiator foundry, auto repair shop, etc. established two years ago are all in a loss-making state.
It's a loss anyway, so we might as well make good use of the waste. These young cadres can get training and gain experience by going down there.
The main thing is that it doesn’t cost any money and you don’t have to worry about any problems.
“In addition to establishing a responsibility management system, we also need to look for opportunities for survival from the outside world.”
Li Xuewu put away his notebook and introduced: "You can't raise a good child if you keep him at home. It's better to open the door and let him play as much as he wants."
"As long as the general direction is not a problem, you can find a partner and an in-law, and Red Star Factory will provide the dowry."
"Hahaha--!"
Cheng Kaiyuan was amused by Li Xuewu's description. He slapped the table, pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "Just now I said that you have research on agriculture and rural areas, now I have to say that you have research on love life."
"Hey, since I'm in charge of all the work, of course I have to do everything, hahahaha!"
Li Xuewu was also joking. "Grabbing eyebrows and beard at once" is a derogatory term, but it can be used here as an appropriate self-deprecation.
The description of finding a partner and an in-law is a reasonable explanation for the joint venture factory.
Factories with smaller scale, weaker production capacity, weaker comprehensive strength and lower development potential are allowed to seek external assistance.
Whether it is joint development, cooperative production, or even joint venture operation, Red Star Factory will provide certain support.
For example, production projects of scientific and technological research institutes, production projects of tertiary industry and joint industries, and supporting projects.
Please note here that joint industry and associated industry are not the same thing.
It seems that there is cooperation, even equity cooperation, but in fact they are two different things.
A joint venture is much closer than a union. There is no distinction between internal and external cadres and employees within a joint venture factory. All the people are united.
This is not the case with the United Industry of the Red Star Factory. The cadres and employees within the United Industry each belong to their own factory, and even the production equipment and technology are pieced together through cooperation.
Since it is a joint venture, Red Star Factory can simply "marry" the entire factory away like marrying off a girl.
Including technology, equipment, workers, etc., as long as the other party gives a considerable gift.
This is certainly not about selling the factory, nor about dealing with the workers, but about selling this part of the management rights in the form of cooperative management.
The property rights still belong to Red Star Factory, including the land and shares.
Every year, I can get a small donation from these "children" who share the factory, which feels like a family relationship.
When the day comes when family affection is gone and the children have grown up or left, the land can be taken back and the equity can be cleared to ensure that there will be no losses.
This gentle resource integration management model seems very feasible to everyone.
In particular, the merger of sixteen enterprises is underway, and factories and departments of all sizes are being integrated in order.
In this process, naturally some branch factories were left behind.
Cheng Kaiyuan described it as a chicken rib factory, with no meat to eat and a pity to throw away.
Anyway, Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory is going to be integrated and merged with the sixteen factories. When the time comes, these enterprises will be packaged and integrated to form a joint industrial management office, and a large department spanning Beijing and Fengcheng will be established.
-
"Once the integration plan and implementation plan are ready, they must be forwarded to me for review. Production must be ahead of the curve."
Cheng Kaiyuan asked his secretary Zhang Shicheng to find a document from the cabinet and handed it to Li Xuewu, saying, "Take a look at this."
"Has the negotiation with the Italian businessmen yielded any results?"
Li Xuewu took the document and glanced at it. The title was clearly written, so there was no need to guess.
"Last month when I went to Fengcheng and Gangcheng, Xu Sinian even called to ask if I wanted to go to the Yingcheng Shipyard."
"Haha, is he unsure or does he have nothing in hand?"
Cheng Kaiyuan chuckled. He was a heavy smoker and couldn't help himself, so he took out a cigarette and lit it.
After blowing away the smoke in front of him, he saw Li Xuewu reading the documents carefully, and continued, "Every time I ask about the production situation of Yingcheng Industry, someone will complain to me, saying that Director Xu is too cautious, to the point of being crazy."
"hehe--"
Li Xuewu chuckled and didn't pay attention to Cheng Kaiyuan's words.
After scanning the documents, he said, "If you meet someone who says this again, please pass it on to me."
"I want to promote this person to the joint venture industry to display his talents and ambitions. Don't bury the talent."
"Hehehe——"
Cheng Kaiyuan just chuckled and did not mention the source of the words. Instead, he asked meaningfully, "What do you think of Comrade Xu Sinian?"
"I was entrusted with the task at the time of the founding of the company and was given the mission in the midst of danger."
Li Xuewu answered Cheng Kaiyuan by using a sentence from Zhuge Liang's "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" with a slight modification.
Cheng Kaiyuan thought about it, nodded and said, "Indeed, Comrade Xu Sinian made sacrifices for the Red Star Factory."
Li Xuewu did not make any further comments on this, but put down the documents in his hand and asked, "Does Andrew mean to do the proxy shareholding thing?"
"It's not feasible institutionally, he doesn't have the qualifications."
"Well, I mentioned this to him as well." Cheng Kaiyuan nodded and explained, "After all, it is too far away from the Zhongbo Company."
I knew Li Xuewu was good at copywriting, but I didn't expect he was so good.
Not to mention writing articles, publishing books and newspapers, and management, he was the one who set up the agency's management system.
I just didn't expect that his reading and memory skills are so strong. He can read ten lines at a glance and remember everything he sees. It's really scary.
That was a thick stack of negotiation memorandums. Three to five minutes might not be enough for Li Xuewu to just read the key titles and paragraphs.
But now when I talk to myself, I can get straight to the point and speak without any pause.
"It's not just far off, it's a matter of a hair's breadth, a thousand miles off, it's not the same thing."
Li Xuewu reached out and tapped the document gently, saying, "The background and influence of the establishment of Zhongbo Company, especially its significance and contribution to the transportation industry, cannot be reflected by Geely Star Company."
"For a yacht manufacturing company to be able to have Red Star Factory perform OEM production is considered to be under the protection of the Ministry of Industry. He still wants this good thing? It's a fantasy."
"I'm more inclined to believe that he is asking for too much." Cheng Kaiyuan felt bitter. He had finally received a foreign trade opportunity from Li Xuewu, but after a month, the negotiations had gone to waste.
He has been to Yingcheng Shipyard three or five times, but the actual progress in the negotiations has been minimal.
The other party wants too much and you can't give it to them. If you ask for too much, the other party will curse you.
Now the problem is at a stalemate and Cheng Kaiyuan has no idea what to do.
In the past, Beijing Machinery Factory No. 2 had never received foreign trade orders, let alone dealt with foreigners, so it had no experience.
The last time he had a group negotiation with foreign representatives, Li Xuewu equipped him with a professional negotiation team.
Although he also selected some people to participate in the negotiations this time, from organization to negotiation, even he himself felt it was a mess.
After some inquiries, Zhang Shicheng found out that every time Li Xuewu conducted foreign negotiations, he would first organize an office meeting and make at least three sets of plans and procedures.
He didn't have Li Xuewu's patience, nor his meticulousness. He just thought that Geely Star Company and Red Star Factory already had a basis for cooperation, so this negotiation would be a piece of cake.
Damn, that Italian businessman named Andrew is such an old bastard, a tough guy who can't tolerate any oil or salt.
Cheng Kaiyuan was furious, and at one point he suspected that Old Deng had colluded with Li Xuewu and was deliberately trying to embarrass him.
But this absurd idea is just something I came up with when I was angry. If I really calm down, I can still realize my own shortcomings.
When it comes to dealing with these foreigners, he himself is born with a disability and can't even speak a word of foreign language.
The entire negotiation process required translation, which was a huge disadvantage in terms of pace, and I even felt a little suffocated.
Another thing is that he was very confident about industrial production and had often quarreled with Andrew over industrial management issues, which further weakened the negotiation basis between the two sides.
So, for half a month, he ignored Andrew and Andrew ignored him, the two of them were like a couple having a fight and a cold war.
At the end of May, Andrew called the Red Star Factory and wanted to talk to Li Xuewu.
This really pushed Cheng Kaiyuan into a corner. If Lao Deng really came to the Red Star Factory and found Li Xuewu instead of him, he would be completely humiliated.
Zhang Shicheng asked around and confirmed that Li Xuewu had not yet contacted Andrew and was dealing with the situation with the Japanese businessmen. He then took the initiative to find Li Xuewu to handle the matter.
He took the initiative to find Li Xuewu, which was much more proactive than letting Andrew find Li Xuewu, and it also saved embarrassment and shame.
Of course, if you want to find Li Xuewu, you can't just talk about this matter. It would be so embarrassing to tell others about it.
He found another excuse and called Li Xuewu in, so he had his cards on the table.
Seeing Li Xuewu's careless look, Cheng Kaiyuan also became furious.
Of course, he was not angry with Li Xuewu, but with that old man Andrew.
Just tell me, what's so special about Li Xuewu? Why do foreign businessmen like to talk to him?
It would be fine if it was a woman, but Li Xuewu is said to be mighty and dignified, so why is it that an old man keeps running to the capital to find Li Xuewu?
Is Li Xuewu so good?
If you search among all the cadres in charge of foreign trade at the Red Star Factory, you will find that this guy is the most ruthless and uses the worst methods to cheat these foreigners.
However, these foreigners only recognized Li Xuewu, and Cheng Kaiyuan was completely confused.
Compared with Li Xuewu, he not only treated us to meals, but also accompanied us on field research and even gave us preferential treatment in negotiation terms.
But look at Old Deng, the more he is spoiled, the worse his temper becomes, and he even started to lose his temper with him.
I don't believe that Li Xuewu can offer a better negotiation plan and conditions than mine. If I don't kill you bastards, you will run away.
Look at the kid from Sanhe United Corporation, who was being played around by Li Xuewu. The French businessman Chantal was forced to accept the current negotiation outline by Li Xuewu's threats by slamming the table.
Going further back, Art threw several million dollars in the mainland before he left.
That is to say, Li Xuewu's family does not farm, otherwise these grandchildren would have to stay there until early autumn to pick corn for Li Xuewu's family before leaving!
"Don't worry about his big talk. Let's talk about what can be discussed and forget about what can't be discussed." Li Xuewu pushed the memo and said, "This stuff is obviously nonsense."
"Let him know clearly that we can only build old-style fishing boats now. We have the technology but not the equipment to build light and medium-sized cargo ships."
Li Xuewu curled his lips and said, "If he is willing to cooperate, then he should show his sincerity and be open and honest. We can do OEM production for him or compensate trade, and first put the technology and equipment in place."
"Why don't we ask him to come to the capital to discuss this?"
Cheng Kaiyuan was unsure. He had talked to that stubborn old man several times and now he was a little hurt.
He had only heard that Germans were old-fashioned and stubborn, but he had never heard that Italians were like this.
"It just so happens that the French company is signing a contract today, and the 10,000-ton cargo ship project is about to start, so it's appropriate to invite him to participate."
"No problem, I'll cooperate with you then."
Li Xuewu understood that Cheng Kaiyuan was in a dilemma. He was reluctant to give up the meat, but also didn't want to take the effort to open his mouth and bite it.
But the meat he put into his mouth was all pierced with nails, and I don’t know if Cheng Kaiyuan dared to eat it.
Even if Cheng Kaiyuan didn't dare to eat it, he couldn't bear to throw away the piece of meat. It would be even more embarrassing if he threw it away.
So when he heard Li Xuewu's response, he smiled and said, "You have the advantage at the negotiation table, so naturally you should play the forward role and I will support you."
Well, it can be seen that Old Cheng really can't hold on any longer, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite.
Li Xuewu didn't care about this achievement or anything like that. He gestured to the door and said, "That's it. I'll wait for your news."
He stood up and said, "I have a few guests waiting there. I have to send them away quickly."
"Hahaha—from Sanhe Corporation?"
Cheng Kaiyuan stood up, shook hands with Li Xuewu, and escorted him out of the office, jokingly saying, "Are you here to give me a honey trap?"
"What can we do if it's true?"
Li Xuewu joked, "Eat the beauty, and use the trick against her?"
"Don't do that. It's not worth it."
Cheng Kaiyuan smiled and said, "You are a valuable asset to our factory. There is no need to sacrifice your innocence in such a matter."
"Well, let's leave this matter to the old comrades to take on the responsibility."
Li Xuewu walked out the door and said with a smile, "I'll have them send the honey trap to you later."
"Fuck you--hahaha!"
Cheng Kaiyuan stood at the door, laughed as he saw Li Xuewu off, then turned around and went back into the office.
-
"Leader, how do we deal with this memo?"
Zhang Shicheng was tidying up the documents on his desk, and in his hand was the document he had just given to Li Xuewu.
Cheng Kaiyuan's face no longer had a smile on it. He frowned, glanced at it, waved his hand and said, "File it. It won't be used anymore."
"Okay, boss, I'll send it to the archives room in a moment."
Zhang Shicheng responded first, and then, while sorting out the documents, he asked quietly, "Will the Italian businessmen misunderstand anything if Deputy Director Li comes forward to negotiate?"
"What's the misunderstanding?"
Cheng Kaiyuan raised his head and glanced at the secretary, then understood what he meant. He scratched his head and said, "It's not that complicated. To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of trust."
The problem was probably solved now, and he was not reluctant to explain it to his secretary.
"The Italian businessmen put forward so many additional conditions simply because they are worried about whether Red Star Factory can fulfill its responsibilities and obligations based on its cooperation with the French businessmen."
He said: "Old capitalists are concerned about practical interests, both immediate and future."
"Then, if Deputy Director Li comes forward, will the other party trust him?"
Zhang Shicheng asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Yi Shang doubts your identity or the ability you represent?"
This is what Zhang Shicheng, as a secretary, said, a relationship in which all prosper together and suffer together.
If it were anyone else who said this, Cheng Kaiyuan would have thought that the person was trying to make fun of or mock him.
What does it mean to doubt identity and ability?
"Comrade Xuewu is indeed very capable in foreign trade cooperation negotiations. I have to admit he is superior to me."
Cheng Kaiyuan sat back in his chair, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and said, "Besides, there is indeed a reason why the Italian businessmen trust and prefer to negotiate with Comrade Xuewu."
He turned around and looked at his secretary and asked, "Let me ask you, who do you think has more development potential, Director Xu or Deputy Director Li of Yingcheng Shipyard?"
"This...I can't say for sure."
Zhang Shicheng hesitated for a moment, holding the document in his hand and said, "How can we compare? Age and qualifications? Or ability?"
"Comprehensive ability, development potential" Cheng Kaiyuan seemed to be thinking, and gestured to Zhang Shicheng and said, "Don't worry, speak boldly, say whatever comes to your mind, and compare in any way you want."
"Then - I'm more optimistic about Director Xu."
Zhang Shicheng said cautiously: "Director Xu has worked as the director of the Red Star Factory Committee Office for six years. Now he is the head of the shipyard. Even if there is no further promotion opportunity, he will be promoted."
"Well, that makes sense, go on."
Cheng Kaiyuan listened to his secretary's words, encouraged him and motioned for him to continue.
Zhang Shicheng's words were recognized by the leader, and he became bolder and continued, "If we talk about ability, Director Xu has a more solid foundation, and now he has experience as a top leader."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Red Star Factory is still an industrial enterprise at its core. In the end, it all comes down to management and foundation."
"Even if Deputy Director Li has solid management skills and the ability to handle things flexibly, he is stuck in the two areas of experience and age."
"Well, are you done?"
Seeing him nod, Cheng Kaiyuan pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said: "What you said should represent the thoughts of some people. After all, Deputy Director Li is only at the deputy director level now. Even if he is promoted, he will only be a full director. And regarding age and experience."
He paused, then continued: "But have you ever thought that there are many people in Red Star Factory who understand industrial management, but few who understand economics and development management?"
“Especially people who have a comprehensive strategic perspective on corporate development.”
Cheng Kaiyuan gestured with his fingers in front of his eyes and said, "Red Star Factory can train ten or twenty production management talents like me, such as Kuang Yusheng and others, who can take over at any time."
"But, at present, if Red Star Factory wants to stay ahead in the changing times, it needs people who understand economics and strategy to come up."
"what do you mean……"
Zhang Shicheng listened to his leader's words and felt surprised as if everything had suddenly become clear.
He hesitated and asked, "Heroes are made by the times? Red Star Factory caught up with the opportunities of the times, and Deputy Director Li caught up with the opportunities of Red Star Factory?"
Cheng Kaiyuan raised his hand and nodded at Zhang Shicheng. Without him having to answer, he had already expressed his approval and correctness.
"It took comrades Wenxue and Si Nian ten or fifteen years to reach the top position of the branch factory, but comrade Xuewu may only need five years."
He sat up straight, took a sip of warm tea, and said, "Young man, age and experience will never be your ceiling, ability is, do you understand?"
"Leader, you mean..."
Zhang Shicheng suddenly thought of something. Standing opposite the desk, he bent over and reported softly, "There is a rumor going around in the factory right now, and it's spreading privately with details."
Seeing that the leader didn't stop him, he knew that the leader wanted to hear what he meant, so he continued, "There are rumors that Director Li deliberately brought Deputy Director Li with him to Liaodong Industrial Inspection this time, just to pave the way."
"Moreover, the news from Steel City said that Director Dong has also started the second half of the sprint, and is also preparing for Deputy Director Li to take over."
"We even began to strictly enforce discipline and supervision, and cleaned up the accounts and historical issues of some projects."
After Zhang Shicheng boldly said this, he added cautiously: "Of course, I heard this in private. Some people also said that when Deputy Director Li went to Gangcheng, he must have an absolute advantage."
"You believe everything you hear. When will this problem of the government be completely cured?"
Cheng Kaiyuan shook his head slightly and said, "It's just normal research work. Director Li is not good at negotiation, especially in economics and mergers."
"Only Deputy Director Jing and Comrade Xuewu are the most reliable in this kind of work. He is also the deputy director of the Commission Office. If we don't take him with us, who else should we take?"
He first explained the significance of Li Xuewu accompanying Li Huaide to Liaodong, and then said: "Comrade Wenxue is very stable. Gangcheng Industry has started to sprint since the small hardware project was launched last year. It is nonsense to sprint now."
"As for the disciplinary inspection work, that is the responsibility of Comrade Xuewu, and it is also the work that Director Li has been focusing on for a long time. Going to Gangcheng was completely a coincidence, and I just dealt with a few stink bugs."
"And the arrangement for Comrade Xuewu." Cheng Kaiyuan paused, then said, "Of the rumors you mentioned, I'm afraid only 30% are true, and the rest are nonsense."
"30% is true? That's..."
Zhang Shicheng was surprised and asked, "Is Deputy Director Li really going to be transferred to Gangcheng?"
Although the rumor had some truth to it and his leader somewhat agreed with it, he was still very surprised.
Cheng Kaiyuan sat back in his chair, sighed and said, "It's easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it's hard to get a general."
He patted the armrest of the chair gently and said, "Steel City is an important industrial production area in the Red Star Factory's layout. It is the core driving force of the future and the production base for foreign trade. This area is too important."
"Comrade Xuewu has made achievements in the fields of industry, economy and trade, so it is natural for him to shoulder this responsibility."
"But - Deputy Director Li is too young!"
Zhang Shicheng was surprised and asked, "A 21-year-old steel mill director?"
"What are you thinking about? Didn't I tell you that Director Dong is stable?"
Cheng Kaiyuan turned his head, looked at the secretary and said, "The credibility of the rumor comes entirely from the situation and basis I just mentioned."
"But the factory has arrangements and plans for the appointment of literary comrades."
Cheng Kaiyuan emphasized: "He must at least lay a solid foundation for infrastructure and industrial production during his current tenure. How can he change his generals at this time?"
Zhang Shicheng thought about it and felt that the leader's analysis made sense. Unlike Xu Sinian, Dong Wenxue had served as the deputy director of the Management Committee since last year, and also held the position of deputy secretary.
It’s just that the organization’s activities are not being carried out now, so the deputy secretary did not mention it much, but the identity within the organization is enough.
If he really wanted to return to the Red Star Factory, he would at least have to complete his term in Steel City, or even complete important projects during his term.
"It will take at least two more years to put the martial arts comrades up there."
Cheng Kaiyuan explained: "The two years are for the literary comrades and for the factory. The appointment of cadres is not as ridiculous as the rumors say."
"Then... in what capacity will Deputy Director Li go to Steel City?"
Zhang Shicheng asked softly: "Head of the security team? Director of the management committee? Or..."
Cheng Kaiyuan glanced at his secretary without answering. Although he already knew the answer in his heart, he couldn't say such words to his secretary.
The previous words were just to teach Zhang Shicheng and open his mind, which could be considered a kind of training.
Zhang Shicheng would not say these words to anyone, and even if he did, it would not matter. These were all facts and they were right there. He was not afraid of people saying them. It was just that some people were not standing high enough and could not see clearly.
But regarding Li Xuewu's future appointment and arrangement, we cannot talk casually. If this news gets out, it will not be good for Li Xuewu or for him either.
Zhang Shicheng was also a smart man. When he saw that his leader didn't say anything, he realized that the question was taboo.
But today the leader is in a good mood, so he will naturally ask more questions when he gets the chance.
"Leader, I heard that the higher-ups are also going to assign cadres to our factory's management team?"
"Well, this isn't really a rumor, it should be considered a prophecy."
Cheng Kaiyuan thought of something, smiled, and said, "I just told you, it's easy for Red Star Factory to train industrial management cadres, but it's difficult to train other types of cadres."
Seeing Zhang Shicheng nod, he moved his teacup, looked at the document and said, "It's difficult for the Red Star Factory, but it's not difficult for the organization."
Yes, it is difficult for Red Star Factory to train cadres who understand economic management, trade management, financial management, and organizational management. The organization can transfer people from outside to Red Star Factory.
You say that the industrial management cadres trained by the Red Star Factory are good, so just transfer them and give back to other industries.
This is how organizational personnel deployment works, unless the level is not high enough or the level is high enough.
Li Xuewu's level is not enough, Li Huaide's level is enough, they will not be transferred away from the Red Star Factory easily.
why?
Because both of them are the core of management, Li Huaide is the current squad leader, and Li Xuewu is the successor to the squad leader trained by Li Huaide.
No matter what arrangements are made by the higher-ups, Li Xuewu will not be easily touched, otherwise the cadre management sequence of the Red Star Factory will be disrupted.
Anyone who watches basketball knows that NBA teams know how to develop core players, and when selecting rookies they also focus on the core of the next generation. This is the reason.
So, Zhang Shicheng had already gotten the answer he wanted from his leader.
Sooner or later, people will come to the Red Star Factory, or it can be said that people have always been coming to the Red Star Factory.
The current management team, apart from Li Huaide and Dong Wenxue, also has the indifferent Xiong Bencheng. The rest are cadres added in the past two years. The army may come and go, but the camp remains the same.
The Red Star Factory Management Committee is not fully staffed, or it is not formal.
The Management Committee shall have a director, deputy directors and several members.
According to the current scale of Red Star Factory, it would take at least eleven people including the director and deputy director.
If we compare it with the Red Star Factory before the reform, we will know that the team at that time was the most complete.
Now it is just an emergency product, or it can be said that it is a product created by Li Huaide himself.
During the rapid development of the Red Star Factory, when the external situation gradually stabilized, the superiors naturally had to make organizational supplements and adjustments to the Red Star Factory.
Because the current management team of Red Star Factory is mostly transferred from outside, there will no longer be a situation of transferring people from Red Star Factory, but management cadres will definitely be added to Red Star Factory from multiple directions.
Otherwise, why did Cheng Kaiyuan say that Dong Wenxue would not be able to come back within two years and Li Xuewu would not be able to leave within two years?
No matter how you guess in private, it is always vague and unclear. Only when you look at it from Cheng Kaiyuan's perspective, it becomes clear.
From the calmness shown by Cheng Kaiyuan, it is not difficult to see that he is ready to welcome the reinforcement and adjustment of the organization.
Perhaps for him, this adjustment is an opportunity, an opportunity to break the existing ecological order.
Li Huaide's family is the only one in the market, and the situation of Yikubi needs to be improved.
You see, Li Huaide saved Cheng Kaiyuan once, so why is Cheng Kaiyuan still thinking about sharing Li Huaide's power?
This is normal. It is Li Huaide's job to save Cheng Kaiyuan, and it is also Cheng Kaiyuan's job to restrain Li Huaide.
The two had no personal relationship, but they also had no personal grudges.
After the last incident, the two of them had the opportunity to be honest with each other and revealed everything to each other.
For the development of Red Star Factory, put aside the disputes and make all-out efforts.
But as there are more people on the road to the sprint, there are more voices. When people’s hearts are not united, there will naturally be people to help bring them together.
After learning so much, Zhang Shicheng returned to his desk, wrote and drew on paper with a pencil in his hand, and finally came to a conclusion.
The current management committee team needs to be adjusted and changed, and the positions of deputy director and committee members must be added.
Currently, sixteen Beijing companies and one Fengcheng company are in the process of completing a merger, which will require the integration of at least three deputy directors.
In order to strengthen organizational leadership, the Ministry of Industry will also arrange for people to airdrop in, with as many as two people and as few as one.
If it was just one person, Xu Sinian of Yingcheng Shipyard would have had a chance later that year. If it was two people, he would have to wait.
However, no matter how Zhang Shicheng calculated and arranged, he could not figure out at which level Li Xuewu should go to Gangcheng.
The leader's reticence made him feel even more confused.
