Leng Yuming spoke so forcefully, but when factory office director Zhai Jianguo asked Du Xinxin to send the meeting notice to him, he still gave in. At the appointed time, he mumbled to the factory office conference room and talked with him.
A group of middle-level cadres of the same age sat together and exchanged helpless looks with each other.
In Ning Zhongying's era, when Qingfeng Factory held a meeting of middle-level cadres, Ning Zhongying was in charge of roll call. The old man stood in front of the conference table and glanced around with a hawk-like look, and he could tell who was absent.
At this time, someone will naturally report the reason for the absentee's absence to Ning Zhongying. If the reason is reasonable, Ning Zhongying will not say anything; but if the reason is unreasonable, Ning Zhongying will call the then director of the factory office.
Wei Baolin asked him to go to the broadcast room and use a loudspeaker to notify absentees to come to the meeting immediately. Violators would be severely punished.
What is the punishment for absenting Ning Zhongying's meeting? This is something that everyone has always wanted to know, but has never been able to find the answer. The reason is very simple, that is, no one dares to challenge Ning Zhongying's authority, so until Ning Zhongying
Even when the British retreated to the second line, no one was really punished like this.
After Wei Baolin came to power, he vigorously promoted institutionalized, humanized, and economical management reforms in accordance with the requirements of modern management. He believed that using a loudspeaker to call people was an infringement of employee rights and would no longer use it. At the same time, he
They also introduced economic means into corporate management, stipulating that a certain amount of bonuses would be deducted for each absence from a meeting, and wages would be deducted if there were no bonuses. Since the economic performance of Qingfeng Factory was deteriorating day by day, employee bonuses and benefits had long since disappeared, and no one dared
He was joking about the wages in his hands, so every time Wei Baolin announced a meeting, the middle-level cadres would quickly drop whatever they were busy with and attend the meeting obediently.
"Now let's start the roll call." Zhai Jianguo took out a book and began to call the names of middle-level cadres one by one. Everyone he called must say "come", just like the primary school students in school listening to the teacher's roll call.
Look.
"Xiang Jiyong!"
"arrive!"
"Leng Yuming!"
"arrive!"
"Director Wei, there are a total of 35 leaders and middle-level cadres in the factory. Excluding sick leave and business trips, 32 people should be present, but 31 people are actually present. The meeting can now be held." Zhai Jianguo finished counting the names, closed the book, and respectfully
He said respectfully to Wei Baolin who was sitting in the main seat.
"Yeah." Wei Baolin nodded. The actual number of people present was one less than the number of people expected. This has been the practice for every factory affairs meeting since he took office. The missing person is the old factory director Ning Zhong, who is currently the director of the research office.
Ying. Ning Zhongying only stepped down to the second line, not retired. She was still an in-service factory leader and should have attended the factory affairs meeting. But from the day she received the notice of retiring to the second line, Ning Zhongying kept everything private.
He moved all his belongings back home and then refused to participate in any activities in the factory. Wei Baolin had no way to do this. The regulations on wage deductions and fines did not apply here in Ning Zhongying. Lend Wei Baolin some courage, he
He also didn’t dare to touch Ning Zhongying’s tiger beard.
"Comrades, today's meeting is a life-or-death meeting for our Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. I hope everyone will listen carefully, speak enthusiastically, and provide suggestions..." Wei Baolin used a serious statement as his opening remarks,
But he completely forgot that he had said the same thing several times, and Qingfeng Factory had been "settled" between life and death several times because of this.
"At present, the situation of our Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory is obvious to all, that is, the products are backward and unable to adapt to the new situation and new requirements of the market. Practice has shown that there is no way out if we continue to stick to the sunset industry of agricultural machinery. We
We must comply with the needs of the market, forge ahead with determination, and enter sunrise industries. Only then can we reverse the current predicament and move towards a new world of all-round development."
At this point, he paused slightly, and Zhai Jianguo lost no time in responding: "Director Wei's words are so good! They are worthy of our deep thought!"
The middle-level cadres present all felt large patches of cold prickly heat on their backs. This included not only cadres like Xiang Jiyong and others who were quite disgusted with Wei Baolin, but also some of the new employees who had been promoted by Wei Baolin.
Cadres. On weekdays, there are not many middle-level cadres who flatter Wei Baolin, but it is hard to find anyone who can flatter Wei Baolin in such a timely and upright manner as Zhai Jianguo.
In movies and TV shows, those who walk around and flatter horses usually have deer-like eyebrows and rat-like eyes, and their faces are full of smiles. But Zhai Jianguo is a talented person with thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he praised Wei Baolin, his face was full of smiles.
His expression looked very solemn, and it looked like he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
At the beginning, everyone really thought that Zhai Jianguo was a crazy fan of Wei Baolin and admired Wei Baolin's thoughts. But when they discovered that Zhai Jianguo could even derive a glorious meaning from Wei Baolin's cough, everyone was left with
There is just endless disgust.
Perhaps he was a fan of the authorities, but Wei Baolin's praise of Zhai Jianguo had always been very useful. He nodded to Zhai Jianguo to show his satisfaction, and then continued:
"Based on this consideration, Xiao Zhai and a few others have traveled north and south in the past few weeks to more than a dozen cities to inspect the local market. We found that with the implementation of the rural joint production contract responsibility system and urban reforms
With the smooth implementation of the policy, people's pockets are becoming more and more bulging, and the demand for household appliances is increasing day by day.
In Pujiang City, we saw that the washing machines in the shopping mall were sold out as soon as they were put into stock. Even the machines that broke down during the test run were bought. Customers told us that the broken machines can be repaired after they are bought back.
If you don't buy it, you will have to wait for several months for it to be available on the market.
From this, we discovered a huge business opportunity, which is to enter the washing machine market and realize the most thorough strategic transformation in the history of our Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory."
Wei Baolin waved his hand vigorously in the air, imagining that the attendees below would applaud enthusiastically for a long time to celebrate the new life of Qingfeng Factory. However, the scene he expected did not appear, except for Zhai Jianguo and others
In addition to a few middle-level cadres clapping their hands, Xiang Jiyong and a large group of people gave indifferent responses, as if Wei Baolin was talking about something that had nothing to do with everyone.
"Lao Xiang, what do you think of the factory department's plan?" Wei Baolin could only name names, and his first target was Xiang Jiyong, the production section chief.
Xiang Jiyong stood up and said: "Director Wei is far-sighted and strategizing, and the direction he has chosen is naturally very correct. I am the production section chief, and what I care about is whether our factory can produce washing machines."
The first half of his words praised Wei Baolin, but everyone could hear the irony in it. In the second half, he directly criticized Wei Baolin. The washing machine is a good product, but agricultural machinery factories can't make it.
Take out the washing machine?
Wei Baolin was well prepared for Xiang Jiyong's question. He chose Ji Yong to speak out in order to draw out his plans. Xiang Jiyong has quite a reputation in the factory. Everyone knows that this person is rigorous in his actions and worthy of his reputation.
Trust. If Xiang Jiyong can be persuaded, then Wei Baolin's plan to switch to washing machine production will reduce a lot of resistance.
"Lao Xiang, I knew you would ask this question." Wei Baolin said proudly. He pointed at Zhai Jianguo and said: "Xiao Zhai, please introduce the situation we have learned to Section Chief Xiang. Section Chief Xiang
As long as you listen to it, you will understand that what we are doing is not just talk on paper, nor is it just drawing cakes to satisfy your hunger, but it has been fully scientifically demonstrated."
"Okay." Zhai Jianguo stood up, spread out a notebook, and began to tell everyone:
"Comrades, you have not been deeply involved in the field of washing machines, and there may still be some mystery about washing machines. In fact, washing machines are a very simple household appliance, and its structure and technical requirements are even far lower than what we have produced in the past.
Water pumps, rice transplanters and other machinery.
In order to understand the technical problems in the production of washing machines, Director Wei led our research team to the Pearl River Delta region and visited some township enterprises that produce washing machines. Listen clearly, they are township enterprises, and they only have a dozen or dozens of people.
of small township enterprises.
In those enterprises, we saw with our own eyes how washing machines were manufactured one after another from the simplest production lines. The financial strength, technical level and quality of workers of our Qingfeng factory are a hundred times stronger than those of these township enterprises.
Can’t we make products that others can make?”
"But, how high can their output be? Can it meet the requirements for large-scale production?" Xiang Jiyong was not a rookie, and he still knew a little about production, so he asked immediately.
Zhai Jianguo said: "Of course they cannot meet the requirements for large-scale production, and this is precisely our strength. Director Wei means that we should obtain bank loans, build two fully automatic production lines, produce famous brand washing machines, and occupy the market
, and squeeze out the products produced by small factories in towns and villages from the market."
"Bank loans are not easy. Now when we borrow money from the bank to pay wages, we have to ask our parents to sue our grandma, let alone borrowing money to invest." Yu Yongping, deputy director of the Finance Department, reminded. Things like borrowing money will definitely fall into the trap in the end.
As the head of the finance department, he must first say something ugly, otherwise if he fails to get a loan in the future, Wei Baolin will take them to task.
Wei Baolin waved his hand and said with dignity: "Lao Yu, you don't have to worry about this matter. After today's meeting, the factory will summarize everyone's opinions and form a plan and submit it to the county. The county
County Magistrate Guo Ming is very supportive of our plan and is ready to go to the city to fight for us. If the city can show support for us, then the loan will not be a problem."
