Chen Runing's peking opera troupe has a good foundation. He performed the song "Flowing Red Flag" with great enthusiasm and majesty. While leading the singing, he used his hands to beat the rhythm and directed. When the song ended, Chen Xuanwu also finished his push-ups.
, so tired that he lay on the ground and groaned.
"Okay, today's morning meeting is over. All units should pay attention to move on time at 7:30. Let's go down and get ready." Chen Runing looked at the watch on his wrist and gave the order. The employees dispersed, leaving only
A few key figures, Nie Wanlong, the head of the Jiangbei branch, Yin Zhijian, the project leader, Mu Lianheng, the senior assistant, and Chen Xuanwu, the prince.
Chen Runing said: "Let me just say a few words. Today's action is very important. A good start is half the success. I will personally lead the team and everyone will cooperate to try to complete the work beautifully. That's it. Does anyone want to add?"
No one spoke. Although Nie Wanlong and Yin Zhijian were both powerful CEO-level figures in the past, they seemed so insignificant in front of Chen Runing's strong personal charm and aura. In the cold and severe winter season, Chen Runing was still wearing single clothes and single pants with broad shoulders.
, tall and handsome, and what’s more valuable is that for a man in his fifties, he has no belly at all, and his body is comparable to a male model. On the other hand, Nie Wanlong looks like a wretched little old man. Yin Zhijian, who has always boasted of his extraordinary temperament, is in
He was also dwarfed in front of Mr. Chen.
"If you don't have any additional comments, the meeting will be adjourned." Chen Runing waved his hand and everyone went downstairs. The Chen family and his son were at the end. Chen Xuanwu said with a playful smile: "Dad, I cooperated well just now, didn't I?"
Chen Runing smiled: "My acting skills are top-notch, but I did the push-ups too fast. I'll give it an eighty."
Mu Lianheng turned back and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen has to keep fit and swim every day. A hundred push-ups is nothing to him. He can do a hundred more next time."
The three of them laughed. Nie Wanlong and Yin Zhijian, who were walking in front, did not speak. The feeling of being under the roof was not good, especially Nie Wanlong, who was used to being the leader. However, the development was bankrupt. If it were not for Xuanwu
The group extended an olive branch, and he might have been imprisoned, so he could only watch helplessly as the big development he created was gradually digested and cannibalized by the Chens and his sons. There was nothing he could do. The same was true for Yin Zhijian. His days in the Xuanwu Group were far away.
I am not as comfortable as I am in Zhicheng, and I always feel a knot in my heart, but this job was forced by my little aunt, and I have no choice.
As soon as 7:30 arrived, the employees gathered in the underground parking lot. Although Chen Runing had a fortune, he kept a low profile. He came in and out in an ordinary Audi A6, which was far less eye-catching than Mr. Nie's Bentley, and seven or eight black cars.
Slowly drove out of the garage and drove towards the east with double flashes. At the third intersection, they met with vehicles from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the municipal government, forming a huge convoy with police cars clearing the way and heading towards the eastern suburbs.
Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant.
Hongqi Iron and Steel Plant has a red paper celebrating New Year's Day posted on the gate. The factory area is quiet and peaceful. The main road is lined with lush evergreen shrubs on both sides. There is a banner at regular intervals that reads "Continuous self-improvement and hard work."
Slogans such as "Get out of trouble and develop in an all-round way".
In the communication room, Wang Zhaogang was chatting with several guards. After he retired from his urban management post, he had no choice but to ask someone to intercede and returned to work in the factory. After hanging out for many years, his ability to eat, drink and have fun has improved a lot, and his skills have improved a lot.
His job was turned down, so he had to find a position in the security department. Although being a janitor was leisurely, the salary was not much, a thousand dollars a month. At least he could support the family, and his daughter would not be embarrassed to mention her father to her classmates.
Been professional.
Suddenly, Wang Zhaogang put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up. Several doormen also stood up in unison and looked into the distance through the window. A long motorcade was winding towards them. The first police car was flashing red and blue lights.
Followed by a series of Audi cars, the guards had never seen this scene before, and they were all panicked. Only Wang Zhaogang remained calm, ran out of the communication room, opened the door, and the convoy drove straight into the Hongqi Steel Plant.
The motorcade stopped in front of the main building of the factory. Amidst the sound of doors opening and closing, the leaders of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission in suits and leather shoes and the staff of Xuanwu Group got out of the car, filed into the building, and went straight to their destination according to the preset procedures.
.
There was a knock on the door of the finance room. Accountant Zhang from the factory went over to open the door. Several unfamiliar faces walked in without any explanation. They showed her relevant documents and announced that they would take over the finance room. Accountant Zhang was at a loss and watched these things.
The man in a suit opened the drawer, took away the financial seal, and sealed the account books and banknotes.
The office was also taken over by people from the Xuanwu Group. A staff member asked the office director, Sister Ma, to hand over the official seal. Sister Ma asked sternly: "Who are you and why do you want me to hand over the official seal?"
"Xiao Ma, Hongqi Steel Factory has been acquired by Xuanwu Group. The contract has been signed. Please take out the official seal." A kind-hearted old man stood up. Sister Ma knew that this was Mr. Wang, the top leader in the factory, and said hurriedly:
"Mr. Wang, you can't just sell the factory like this. Neither Mr. Wei nor us know about it."
Mr. Wang smiled: "Things are a bit sudden, but it is also a good thing. It cuts the knot quickly. Our old state-owned factory needs to introduce advanced mechanisms and change the outdated atmosphere."
"No, I will never hand over the official seal until I see Mr. Wei." Sister Ma held on to the box containing the official seal and refused to let go. Mr. Wang had no choice but the people in the Xuanwu Group did not make it difficult for her. She shook her head and quit.
office.
Sister Ma immediately picked up the phone and called Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei received a notice from the province yesterday afternoon to attend a meeting, and took the train to the provincial capital in the evening. Now that I think about it, it turned out to be a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
The phone couldn't be connected and kept shutting down. She must be in a meeting. Sister Ma was so anxious that she burst into tears. Suddenly she heard a noise from below. She opened the curtains and saw that many workers had gathered. It turned out that the news that the factory had been acquired by Xuanwu Group had already been announced.
Sent to the workshop.
The Xuanwu Group's reputation for eating people without spitting out their bones has been circulating in Hongqi Factory for many years. The entire factory hates the Xuanwu Group from top to bottom and has a deep fear of mergers and acquisitions. They originally thought that the factory had turned a profit and was out of trouble.
, got rid of the bad luck of being reorganized. I didn’t expect that I could not escape the fifteenth grade after avoiding the first grade of junior high school. The most feared thing still came.
The workers were excited and noisy downstairs. Xuanwu Group had already prepared a countermeasure and invited the leader of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to speak to the workers. Director Li took out the document from the window on the second floor and was about to read it out, but there was already a mess below.
There were some who cursed, and some who threw things at them. A leather shoe came whizzing by and almost hit Director Li.
"It's simply lawless!" Director Li said angrily. Seeing the situation worsening, Chen Xuanwu said to Mr. Wang: "It's better to ask Mr. Wang to take action to appease the workers' emotions."
Being reluctant to take advantage of others, Mr. Wang had no choice but to bravely walk to the window. Seeing his appearance, the place below gradually became quiet.
"Comrades, I can understand your emotions, but you must believe in the leadership and the government, and they will not push you into the pit of fire. Xuanwu Group is a private company with great strength and fighting spirit. It is engaged in mining, smelting, and real estate.
They have extremely rich experience in all aspects, and the appropriate introduction of advanced mechanisms is very necessary for a state-owned enterprise like us with a history of fifty years..."
He could no longer continue what he said, because the abuse outside far overwhelmed his voice, and the situation got out of control again. Someone shouted loudly: "You old bastard named Wang, how much money did you receive from Xuanwu?"
This sold us out!"
Mr. Wang retreated with shame on his face, Director Li also looked ugly, but Chen Runing remained calm, as if all this was what he expected.
"The things to be done have been done, let's go." Chen Runing winked at Director Li, and everyone filed downstairs, got into the car and drove away under the protection of the public security officers.
…
At noon that day, Wei Shumin, who was in the provincial capital, received a call from the factory. She rushed back regardless of the fact that there was a meeting in the afternoon. When she arrived at the factory, she was already exhausted, but she still presided over a meeting with middle-level leaders.
Emergency meeting to discuss restructuring matters.
"This reorganization can be said to be completely against the wishes of us Hongqi people. Hongqi Steel Plant is a state-owned enterprise. Such large-scale corporate changes must be reported to the Workers' Congress and solicit opinions from employees in accordance with normal procedures, but they have done nothing.
, I firmly oppose taking over the company in this way and will report it to the higher-level leadership department."
In just over a year, Hongqi Factory turned a profit and achieved the goal of profit exceeding 10 million. However, Mr. Wei worked too hard and became so thin that it makes people want to cry.
Middle-level cadres have expressed their opinions one after another, resolutely resisting the Xuanwu acquisition, and will petition collectively if necessary.
Wei Shumin waved her hand and said: "Comrades, you must exercise restraint and reach reasonable demands through normal channels. You must not act rashly. I will report everyone's opinions and views to the leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the municipal government tomorrow. During this period,
You must stick to production and don't delay your work."
When the meeting ended, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Wei Shumin came out of the conference room and walked alone on the road to the factory, looking at the blast furnace and chimney in the distance, lingering for a long, long time...
…
The next day, all the senior leaders of Hongqi Steel Plant were called to a meeting in the city. Director Li of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission read out documents to them and distributed promotional materials. Everyone saw the red-headed documents and copies of the contract, and they felt very complicated and hesitant.
, helplessness, confusion, and frustration filled my heart.
Naturally, senior leaders and ordinary workers view problems from different perspectives. These senior leaders all understand the significance of the red-headed document. There are people in the province who are determined to abandon the Hongqi Factory. Their arms cannot break the thigh. Any struggle is in vain. They are more worried.
It is a matter of his own future. After Xuanwu completes the acquisition, he will definitely have to install a large number of cronies to squeeze out his position.
As if he guessed what they were thinking, Director Li said: "On behalf of Mr. Chen of Xuanwu Group, I would like to assure everyone that everyone here can stay in their posts, their job levels will remain unchanged, their salary will be doubled, and they will also receive a corresponding proportion of shares.
, I think this kind of treatment is enough to prove Mr. Chen’s sincerity.”
Everyone whispered to each other, their eyes filled with joy.
Suddenly Wei Shumin stood up and said very calmly: "I refuse to accept the new appointment of Xuanwu Group."
