"Have you heard? Tianyang Machinery Factory is going bankrupt."
"Don't talk nonsense. The city is carrying out joint-stock reform, and Tianyang Machinery Factory is a pilot project."
"Why isn't it bankrupt? They have started to lay off people, and there are a lot of people crying for their fathers and mothers. Many of them who have been fired are causing trouble."
"Making trouble? I just asked why there were hundreds of people blocking the street when I was at work. It turned out to be those people from the machinery factory, how pitiful they were."
"Poor ghosts, they are all people who rely on their connections and positions to not work and only get paid. Each one is worse than the other, what is there to be pitiful about? I was completely annoyed by such people in my previous workplace."
When Schweic walked into the office, he heard several subordinates chatting. He coughed as soon as he entered the door, and everyone immediately fell silent and everyone went about their work.
The small talk just now is the biggest excitement in Tianyang right now.
The city carried out joint-stock restructuring of poorly managed state-owned enterprises and cleaned up state-owned non-performing assets. As an investor, Zhou Qingfeng happily bought 51% of the equity of more than ten state-owned enterprises in the city with 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
Naturally, so much money cannot be wasted, so Zhou Qingfeng took it upon himself to rectify the state-owned enterprises he bought. At first, he wanted to be merciful and not cause too much trouble.
After all, this involves tens of thousands of company employees and hundreds of thousands of employees' families. He is trying to establish the "Shengguang Group" to properly transform Tianyang City's manufacturing system.
but......
If some things are wishful thinking, they will only be in vain in the end.
When Zhou Qingfeng thought that the people were willing to accept the reform, he randomly grabbed some documents waiting for approval and found that there were already more than twenty signatures and more than a dozen stamps on them.
This makes people furious.
When Tianyang Machinery Factory needs to buy coal to burn a boiler, there are actually four division-level departments that are reviewing, approving and supervising it. There are a lot of idle people in the workshop, logistics, accounting, and factory office. They have nothing to eat and have nothing to do. They just try to get stamps every day.
There are more than 10,000 employees in the machinery factory, there are actually more than 500 labor unions, more than 2,000 retired cadres, and more than 3,000 managers with various leadership positions.
The factory has a Women's Federation branch, with more than fifty aunts in it. Their daily job is to help factory workers find partners, mediate family conflicts, supervise family planning, and distribute birth control supplies.
There is also a factory history office with twenty or thirty old men in it. These people are more leisurely. They wander around like hawks and lackeys every day. They don’t know what they are doing, but they get a lot of wages.
By the way, the factory also has its own kindergarten and primary school, and teachers are included in the factory's establishment. The factory has its own technical school, and the children of factory workers can attend the technical school to take over their duties.
But that technical school was just a training class for gangsters. They learned everything but didn't learn well. Young men and women aged 17 or 18 went around sneaking around and had a very bad influence.
For such a big factory, there are so many employees, but there are less than 2,000 people working on the front line. The most honest employees have the lowest income and are the most bullied. It is surprising that this factory can continue to operate.
There are countless similar situations in Tianyang. This is true in enterprises and even more so in the system. It not only wastes money, but also reduces efficiency. There are rubbish everywhere who say, "I can't do the work, but I am the first to make money."
On his way to work, Schweic had already heard rumors about Mr. Zhou's rage. He was aware of the bad things happening in state-owned enterprises, but he was helpless.
In the past, leaders held meetings every day to solve the problem, but could never solve it.
Now it's great, here comes someone who doesn't hold a meeting but just gives orders.
All the losers who don’t work will be laid off!
Zhou Qingfeng took a roster of more than 10,000 people in the machinery factory and kicked out more than 2,000 retirees with a stroke of his pen - don't ask me for pension matters.
I didn't spend 300 million just to pick up trouble. The city should also solve the problem.
This stirred up a hornet's nest. Thousands of retirees and their families flocked to the machinery factory, angrily demanding an explanation.
The ruthless black-hearted capitalists have nothing to say. The 'chaos dust' used to deal with bugbears is now used to deal with troublemakers, and the effect is quite good.
Regardless of whether it was crying for father or mother, in order to prevent everyone from being dragged to death, we had to let some people die. Zhou Qingfeng has always been extremely ruthless when he needs to be ruthless.
If there is more than two thousand less, no value can be created, but there is still a lot of waste in the factory.
So Zhou Qingfeng once again with one stroke of his pen, divested all the miscellaneous departments that were not directly related to production.
Trade unions, women's federations, factory history offices, etc. A bunch of messy people are left to fend for themselves.
This time, thousands of people took to the streets shouting and protesting, collaborating with each other to cause trouble. They either blocked the factory gates or demanded that "the people make the decision."
The city government was worried about this, and they wanted to persuade Zhou Qingfeng not to be so one-size-fits-all. Zhou Qingfeng, who always had something to say, ignored it and said bluntly that this was not his responsibility.
The ruthless face of the capitalists is exposed.
The city advised Zhou Qingfeng, "Can you please stop firing so many people at once? At least take it slow. We can't bear it either."
Zhou Qingfeng's answer was: "The Harmony Chamber of Commerce is recruiting people recently, with at least 2,000 positions, so that those who make trouble can find jobs. The salary I offer is not low."
"But those who were expelled felt that the work in the 'Harmony' department was too tiring, too low in marks, and it was very shameful to wake up early, work late, and walk around the streets. They didn't want to do it."
"If you don't want to do it, just die. There are no perfect people and things in this world. Any reform will always damage the interests of some people. There is no possibility of having the best of both worlds."
Zhou Qingfeng spread his hands and carried out drastic reforms in several companies he took over. In just one week, more than 20,000 people in Tianyang City lost their iron jobs because of him.
There were countless people who secretly cheated on Zhou Qingfeng and cursed him. Various tactics were used to deal with him, and hundreds of people filed complaints against him.
There are endless unspeakable 404 dirty tricks.
But Zhou Qingfeng still went his own way.
After kicking out all the useless junk, he continued to rectify the state-owned enterprises he bought.
First, reduce the management level.
The management of old state-owned enterprises is too bad, and the management style of stacked houses must be flattened. The company is still small now, and Zhou Qingfeng requires that the company from himself to the production line should not exceed four floors at most.
A bunch of idle cadres were kicked away, and the rest were also trembling with fear. Thousands of people were once again forced to go to the streets to beg for food.
Second, specific rights and responsibilities.
Any work cannot be multi-managed. You cannot stamp it and I sign it. It is a waste of time and the thing will not be completed in the end. It is not allowed to take credit cards, and everyone is busy.
If you want to be lazy and make a living, please get out of here.
Third, strengthen the production front line.
Increase wages for engineering and technical personnel, improve benefits, and recruit more people.
In the past, the monthly income of many front-line workers was only a few hundred yuan, but now it has increased to more than 300 yuan. Workers with good skills are expected to earn 500 yuan a month, and priority will be given to repaying the wages owed in the past.
To prevent everyone from being dishonest, you cannot bully honest people.
Fourth, all logistics services are outsourced.
The canteen in the factory, the school run by the factory, the transportation in the factory, and all services that are not related to production but are necessary are outsourced. Find more service providers to compete, and you can save money by paying more.
Zhou Qingfeng was ruthless in his attacks. He cut down less than 4,000 people from a machinery factory that originally had more than 10,000 people. The dozen or so factories he bought as shares were merged into four factories, and a lot of people were killed.
He took to the streets, desperate for life or death.
Nowadays, Tianyang City is very lively, and there is a lot of excitement all day long.
However, the production efficiency of several factories that were reorganized increased several times that month. Product quality was improved for the first time after several years of losses, and the company made a profit.
But behind the scenes, people called Zhou Qingfeng 'Zhou Papi'.
