Selling the overstocked rotary till blades was a major decision made by Wei Baolin himself.
It's not that he didn't know about the technological innovations made by Xiang Jiyong, Leng Yuming and others in the workshop. From what Xiang Jiyong reported to him, he also knew that this technology called high-frequency induction cladding can indeed
Solve the problem of poor wear resistance of rotary tillage blades, thus bringing the 20,000 blades in stock back to life.
However, Wei Baolin was thinking of other things. He believed that what Xiang Jiyong and others were doing was actually a disguised resistance to the strategy of switching to washing machines. It would take several months to repair all the rotary blades, and if the rotary blades were
If the sales of tillage blades improve, the voice supporting the continued production of agricultural machinery will become stronger, and the urgency of switching to the production of washing machines will be greatly reduced.
After Wei Baolin became the factory director, he went to the School of Administration to study business management for a period of time. He remembered that the professors taught many principles of business management, including the requirement to unswervingly implement the established strategy. It is said that
This is one of the manifestations of entrepreneurial spirit.
He used the Boston Matrix he learned in class to analyze and believed that agricultural machinery is a "thin dog project" with low growth rate and low market share. Such projects must be discarded decisively. Washing machines, on the other hand, are high growth and high market share.
High-efficiency “star projects” are worthy of active promotion.
With this idea in mind, he was determined to eliminate all interference and stick to the goal of switching to washing machines. Since Xiang Jiyong and others pinned their hopes on rotary tillage blades, he had to give up their ideas, and to do this, the final step was to
The best way is to get rid of these blades.
According to Wei Baolin's idea, these blades can be sold directly to scrap collection stations as scrap steel. This is the simplest way. However, out of consideration for the preservation of corporate property, he still asked people to contact some township enterprises and ask them if they were interested.
Purchase these blades. The person who came to sell the blades today is a rural enterprise from a neighboring county. The other party is willing to purchase all the blades at a price of 2 cents per piece. In this way, the blades that were originally intended to be sold at scrap prices have increased in value out of thin air.
The total price reached 4,000 yuan, and Wei Baolin felt that this business was a good deal.
Who would have expected that a well-planned event would suddenly turn out to be unexpected. Xiang Jiyong got the news about processing blades at a low price from somewhere. He hurried to the gate of the factory, stopped the truck pulling the blades, and then started to deal with the blades.
He started yelling at the office building and kept asking Wei Baolin to come out and confront him.
Xiang Jiyong's scolding attracted a large group of cadres and workers who were watching the fun. After hearing the situation introduced by Xiang Jiyong, some of the people were as angry as Xiang Jiyong, and some stepped forward to persuade Xiang Jiyong to stop making trouble and run the business.
The factory director is responsible for everything, so why should he, a production section chief, worry about this?
Because Xiang Jiyong's scolding was really unpleasant, Wei Baolin had to arrange for Zhai Jianguo to go downstairs to negotiate with Xiang Jiyong. When Zhai Jianguo came to Xiang Jiyong, before he even opened his mouth, he was scolded by Xiang Jiyong, and he kept holding it in for a while.
I don’t even dare to fart.
The personnel of the township enterprise who came to pull the blade did not know what was going on and did not dare to make mistakes, so they could only let the truck be stopped by Xiang Jiyong. The social status of the township enterprise was not high at this time, and it was a bit timid in front of state-owned enterprises.
The salesman leading the team ran to Wei Baolin for advice. Wei Baolin hesitated again and again, and finally made a phone call and asked Ma Darong, the security section chief, to bring a few people with him to argue with Xiang Jiyong.
"Old Xiao, you haven't studied business management and don't understand the truth. Our blades are piled up in the warehouse, which not only takes up space but also wastes money. This itself is also a cost, called shadow cost. In the factory
The purpose of deciding to get rid of these blades is to free up space and ensure that the factory's major goals can be successfully achieved." Wei Baolin walked up to Xiao Dongping and said to him earnestly.
"Wei Baolin, Director Wei! I, Xiang Jiyong, am studying engineering. I don't know anything about business management. But I know that these blades that can be repaired and sold at a good price are sold by you as scrap. This is
A kind of bastard decision! If you don't do this, you are a bastard!" Xiang Jiyong said through gritted teeth.
Before today, Xiang Jiyong remembered that Wei Baolin was the director of the factory, so at least he didn't dare to swear like this in front of his face. But today he was really angry, so he said all the things he usually didn't dare to say.
Wei Baolin's face changed. Not to mention since he became the director of the factory, even since he started working, no one has ever scolded him in front of him like this. This feeling is really bad. It is not convenient for him to be in front of a large group of onlookers.
After arguing with Xiang Jiyong, he lowered his face, turned to the onlookers and shouted: "Which workshop do you belong to, and Lao Wang and Xiao Li, don't you have any work to do in your department? Luan Suqin, your labor and management
What do you do for food? Why don’t you check your attendance when you go to work? Don’t your wages be deducted if you leave without reason?”
Hearing Wei Baolin's shout, the onlookers cheered and dispersed quickly. Some of these people came out from the workshop to watch the fun, and some were from the administrative department in the factory office building who heard the news and came out to watch the fun and were investigated.
, it is indeed considered to be off the job. Although the labor discipline in the factory is actually not that strict, it is normal for everyone to visit the door and come out to smoke a cigarette, etc., but now the factory director is anxious and wants to use attendance as an excuse, so everyone should hurry up
It's better to avoid the limelight.
There are actually shift workers among the onlookers, so there is no question of whether they should be off duty or not. But if they are still here after others have dispersed, aren’t they waiting for the factory director to remember you? The factory director has been called a bastard.
Even if it is not an insult to the leader, it is at least a leak of Qingfeng Factory secrets. In this case, it is a crime if you hear it.
Forget it, forget it, gods are fighting, why are we mortals joining in the fun? Let's break up.
After a while, a large group of people left. Of course, after some people left, they hid in the distance pretending to smoke and chat, and secretly watched what was going on here. This was something that Wei Baolin could not interfere with, and neither did the factory director.
Keep everyone’s gossip in mind.
After the onlookers dispersed, only the parties involved were left at the scene: the salesmen and drivers of the township enterprises who came to buy the blades, Wei Baolin and Zhai Jianguo on the side selling the blades, and Xiang Jiyong and Xiao Dongping who blocked the sale of the blades.
, in addition to Ma Darong and several cadres from the security department.
Xiang Jiyong stood at the gate of the factory like half an iron tower, blocking the truck from going out. No matter how courageous the other driver was, he would not dare to start the vehicle and forcefully break through. What kind of muddy water is he dripping in the grudges in other factories? This is
The inner thoughts of those working in township and village enterprises.
"Lao Xiang, what are you doing?" Wei Baolin felt relieved when he saw that everyone around him was gone. Without an audience, Xiang Jiyong's curses were in vain. As for taking action, there were people from the security department nearby.
, Xiang Jiyong could not hurt Wei Baolin. He dispersed a large group of onlookers with just one sentence, which showed that he still had authority as the factory director, which made Wei Baolin feel confident.
"Lao Xiang, the factory's decision to launch the washing machine project is a long-term goal. Once this goal is achieved, our Qingfeng factory will completely get rid of the loss-making hat. By then, everyone's wages will be doubled, bonuses will be doubled, and various benefits will be provided.
It's rising straight up, why do you object?" Wei Baolin advised.
Xiang Jiyong stood there, his lips trembling constantly, not knowing what to say.
There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. This is the only feeling Xiang Jiyong feels now. He skipped it, scolded it, and after venting his anger, he suddenly felt a little confused.
Yes, Wei Baolin is the director of the factory. If he says a word, everyone will be scared away. Everyone is afraid that Wei Baolin will deduct wages. They would rather watch the property in the factory be lost like this than dare to stay and fight with themselves.
Stand together. So, why are you suffering?
The factory belongs to the country, not you. If you offend Wei Baolin, you will be put in small shoes, and the pain will be on your feet. I have stayed in this factory for more than 20 years, and this is true. But whether the factory collapses or not,
What does it have to do with yourself?
"Chief Xiang, if you have something to say, let's go back to the office first. The sun is shining like this. It's so hot standing here." Ma Darong remembered his responsibilities, stepped forward, and persuaded Xiang Jiyong.
road.
Xiao Dongping also looked at Xiang Jiyong and whispered: "Lao Xiang..."
After shouting, Xiao Dongping didn't know how to speak. Should he advise Xiang Jiyong to give up? Not to mention that Xiang Jiyong was not willing to give up, nor was he himself. But should he support Xiang Jiyong? Xiao Dongping's thoughts at the moment were different from
Xiang Jiyong is also confused, helpless, and discouraged...
"Wei Baolin, I don't want to destroy your great goal. I am just a small production section chief, you can remove me at any time. I just feel sorry for this car of products... 20,000 blades, this is the total number of blades in the entire factory
The workers cut them out one by one. We haven’t seen bonuses for two years, and we can’t even get reimbursed for medical expenses. Under these circumstances, you worked overtime to make these 20,000 blades. Are you willing to sell them as scrap?” Xiang Jiyong
He spoke to Wei Baolin in a low voice. He spoke very slowly, as if he would be unable to control his emotions if he spoke any faster.
Wei Baolin heard the other party's intention of compromise from Xiang Jiyong's words. He sighed, walked forward, patted Xiang Jiyong on the shoulder, and said: "Old Xiang, I understand your mood. As a production department
Sir, you have put in a lot of effort..."
"Director Wei, I am no longer the production section chief." Xiang Jiyong plucked up the courage to say. He pointed at his chest and said, "I was originally a worker, and I grew up as a worker.
With a little conscience, I am... begging you, Director Wei, to keep these blades and let us try again one last time!"
