Chapter 444 The new factory director is running for office
The news that Cao Weidong is resigning spread like wildfire.
When the employees learned about it, they were very reluctant to part with it. Some employees even organized a joint signature and sent tens of thousands of people to write a letter to try to retain Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong was grateful.
Several all-staff meetings were held in succession, and Xiaozhi used emotion and reasoning to calm down the employees' emotions.
He knows very well.
At this time, it is crucial to decide who will take over the position of director of Zhenhua Energy Plant.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that the success or failure of Zhenhua Energy Plant after he leaves will all depend on his successor.
This is like Joe, the founder of Apple.
After the leader passed away, if the successor was not Cook, I am afraid that Apple would have been cannibalized by many evil wolves and then declined.
Even though the brilliance of Master Qiao is so great, the controversy about Cook still exists to this day.
But it is undeniable.
Under Cook's leadership, Apple has survived and is now living quite well.
Zhenhua Energy Plant at this time is like Apple at that time.
But Zhenhua Energy Plant is even more special.
It is a state-owned unit.
Cao Weidong's choice of factory director doesn't count.
We can only wait for Secretary Yang and others to decide.
.......
Secretary Yang attaches great importance to the selection of the new director of Zhenhua Energy Plant.
Zhenhua Energy Plant is really important to the city.
First of all, it has eight to nine thousand employees.
This is a pretty scary number.
It can even be said that as long as there is no chaos in Zhenhua, the city will be stable.
And once Zhenhua is in chaos and more than 8,000 employees start to cause trouble, there will definitely be big trouble in the city.
Secondly, the benefits of Zhenhua Energy Plant are amazing.
The money Zhenhua Energy Plant turns over to the city every year accounts for almost two-thirds of the city's income.
For the city, this is a cash cow that continues to thrive.
In order to select suitable candidates, Secretary Yang specially formed a team of cadres to station in Zhenhua Energy Plant, aiming to stabilize the transition and avoid chaos in Zhenhua Energy Plant.
During this period, Cao Weidong talked with Secretary Yang several times and strongly recommended Zhang Wencheng to take over the position of director of Zhenhua Energy Plant.
Secretary Yang had an explanation with Zhang Wencheng.
I have a very good impression of this young man.
He meant this.
But the city is not Secretary Yang’s place.
The position of the director of Zhenhua Energy Plant is really important.
Many people are jealous.
I want to place my relatives as factory directors.
Facing the voices of other leading cadres, Secretary Yang could not ignore them, and finally chose a compromise method.
Based on the candidates recommended by other leading cadres in the city, three young talents were selected to start a fair competition with Zhang Wencheng.
The competition involves many aspects of business operations, and those with outstanding overall performance can take over the position of director of Zhenhua Energy Plant.
.......
In the factory director's office.
Cao Weidong is drinking tea with Secretary Yang.
Secretary Yang's face turned red with embarrassment, but he still said.
"Comrade Weidong, you are the director of Zhenhua Energy Plant. I will definitely consider your opinion. However, other leading cadres in the city also have other ideas and feel that other young people should be given a chance, so the big guys thought
Let's create a competition... I hope you can understand this."
Cao Weidong said quite openly.
"Secretary Yang, don't worry, as long as the competition is fair and reasonable, I will absolutely support it."
"Also, I fully support the city leaders' decision and will never interfere, so don't worry."
After seeing off Secretary Yang, Cao Weidong immediately asked his confidants to secretly find Zhang Wencheng and tell him the whole story.
Zhang Wencheng was a little scared.
Waving hands repeatedly.
"Director, this burden is too heavy. I really can't bear it. Otherwise, let's forget it."
Cao Weidong said with a straight face:
"I say you can do it, just do it, come on."
Zhang Wencheng is one of his own who he trained.
I feel most at ease when I leave Zhenhua in his hands.
What if the factory director recommended by the city messes around and brings down the factory?
You must know that this kind of "three-pat cadres" who talk all the talk but have no actual management experience are the most terrifying.
No matter how well-off the family is, they can't help this kind of nonsense.
Many outstanding state-owned units were ruined by these "cadres".
This is how a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an anthill!
Cao Weidong patted Zhang Wencheng on the shoulder, encouraged him a few words, and took the opportunity to use the senior talent training card on him.
Provide guidance and training in enterprise management!
Zhang Wencheng shook his head, and an inexplicable force suddenly surged in his heart. Facing the factory director election again, his mentality became much calmer.
Cao Weidong witnessed Zhang Wencheng's transformation with his own eyes and nodded secretly.
It is indeed a product produced by the system, it is definitely a high-quality product.
As for the promise to Secretary Yang that he would not interfere.
Haha.
We are all adults.
Just listen to some words and don’t take them too seriously.
.......
For the factory workers, the election for the new factory director is a big deal, related to their future destiny.
But in Cao Weidong's view.
There is actually no suspense about the successor of the factory director.
Zhang Wencheng was originally a high-level talent recruited by Cao Weidong using the talent recruitment card, and he was also used the high-level talent training card. He has excellent abilities and can crush other candidates in almost all aspects.
Zhang Wencheng’s victory is almost certain.
What Cao Weidong wants to prevent is just some people jumping over the wall and flipping tables to cheat.
.......
The factory director election lasted for a month in total.
The result was just as Cao Weidong guessed, Zhang Wencheng won with an absolute advantage.
Seeing the duck in hand fly away, some people really jumped over the wall and planned to use off-board moves.
Perhaps in their view, Cao Weidong is about to leave his job and they can leave it to their own devices.
But they were wrong.
Cao Weidong invited Li Xiangqian from the provincial capital to take charge.
These people immediately put away all their little thoughts like a mouse seeing a cat.
........
After the election, Zhang Wencheng officially took over Cao Weidong's position and became the second director of Zhenhua Energy Plant.
Cao Weidong personally handed the key to the factory director's office to Zhang Wencheng, completing this ceremonial handover.
Zhang Wencheng's eyes were sore and he choked.
"Director."
Cao Weidong patted Zhang Wencheng on the shoulder, his tone as gentle as ever.
"I am no longer the factory director, you are the factory director. Now you bear the fate of more than 8,000 workers, so work hard."
"Hmm."
Zhang Wencheng choked and nodded.
Watching Zhang Wencheng leave, Li Xiangqian grabbed Cao Weidong and said in a serious tone, somewhat hating that iron cannot become steel.
"Weidong, do you know what you are doing?"
Cao Weidong's tone was calm.
"I know very well, Brother Li, we are not outsiders. If I have anything to say, I will say it directly."
"The wind direction has been a bit wrong recently, I think you should have felt it, right?"
Li Qianqian's expression froze, and he forced a smile on his face and said.
"Which direction is the wind blowing? Who did you listen to?"
Cao Weidong said nothing and just looked at Li Qianqian quietly.
Under Cao Weidong's gaze, Li Xiangqian felt as if he was swimming naked in deep water, with all the secrets in his body clearly visible to Cao Weidong.
He paused, hesitated again and again, and finally said.
"You're right. The old leader wrote to me and asked me to pay more attention recently. I'm afraid things are going to change."
