After swallowing up more than a dozen state-owned enterprises, including Tianyang Machinery Factory, the ‘Shengguang Group’ was officially established.
In addition to the 'Harmony' system that is close to people's livelihood, 'Holy Light' has expanded rapidly and has a machinery factory, a battery factory, a steel factory, etc. under its name.
But except for the machinery factory, which has many employees, other factories are very small.
For example, a steel plant sounds like a big name, but it is actually just a few electric furnaces with short strokes for smelting, relying on scrap steel and scrap iron as raw materials.
The electric furnaces in the factory are all made from the Soviet Union in the past year. They consume a lot of energy, have low production capacity, and have poor maintenance. They basically rely on manual operation.
Zhou Qingfeng plans to eliminate them all and order a batch of new ones in China - similar stoves can cost tens or hundreds of tons, and e-commerce platforms cannot buy them.
In addition, the battery factory needs to be upgraded to an electronics factory. It is not enough to always produce lead-acid batteries. Even the production of radios is better. Zhou Qingfeng actually wants to make electronic devices, starting with the simplest resistors and capacitors.
This series of factories is actually the industrial chain that Zhou Qingfeng strives for. In addition to tires, basically all parts of motor tricycles can be purchased in Tianyang.
But Zhou Qingfeng does not pursue producing everything himself. For example, the machinery factory focuses on producing engines, and other tricycle parts are basically outsourced.
For foreign merchants, after Zhou Qingfeng took them to visit the machine shop, he asked Lin Wan to continue to receive them. Whether they can do business with the 'Holy Light' depends on their ability.
The negative impact caused by the mass layoffs has almost fermented, and the influence is spreading. It is time to solve it.
Zhou Qingfeng has always been like a philanthropic boy. He gives money today and scatters coins tomorrow. He is friendly to others and has no bully. The entire Tianyang City gave a thumbs up to President Zhou when he mentioned 'Holy Light'.
Benevolence and righteousness'.
Now the 'benevolent' Uncle Zhou has finally revealed his true colors - you are a capitalist from 'overseas', covered in blood and filthy things.
The whole city dare not say 100%, at least half of the people are scolding him. Who doesn't have relatives and friends, who doesn't have brothers and sisters, when Zhou Qingfeng brutally lays off people, everyone will be implicated.
Tens of thousands of people were living a stable life, but suddenly they found that their jobs were gone, their welfare benefits were in vain, and they could no longer think of being a loser.
People live in this world to pursue a relaxed and comfortable life.
Everyone can criticize state-owned enterprises for their inefficiency, systemic problems, and social injustice, but once their own interests are harmed, they will immediately change their tone.
What is the key to this time...
Public opinion!
When everyone was caught off guard in the face of the chaotic public opinion, Uncle Zhou, who had been deliberately planning it, took action.
Do you still remember that the massacred HK gang controlled a third-rate gossip tabloid? Since the business of "Shengguang Entertainment" has grown bigger and bigger, the staff of that gossip tabloid have been diverted to the entertainment industry.
But recently this shabby tabloid has undergone a transformation and revised its edition.
A new "Harmony Weekly" appeared on newsstands on the streets of hk. The first issue focused on new ideas for corporate reform in the mainland.
The weekly first used a realistic style to describe the current problems of state-owned enterprises in mainland China in depth, and then used a rainbow fart to praise Tianyang City, just like a little red in the green bush.
"The Tianyang City Government is very courageous, breaks away from stereotypes, and has the courage to take responsibility."
"By introducing foreign capital, strengthening competition, cleaning up and rectifying state-owned non-performing assets, we will create a new way to improve social benefits."
"The exploration and innovation of changing state-owned enterprises to state-owned enterprises deserves recognition. Although the pilot project is risky, it is still a responsible performance."
"The same problem exists overseas. Now let's introduce the management methods of French state-owned enterprises. The famous Thomson Company is worthy of our study and reference."
Neither arrogant nor humble, and well-founded, the first issue of "Harmony Weekly" introduced the new situation and situation of Tianyang's reform to the world in an in-depth and simple way.
Of course, reform will cause pain. It is understandable that some vegetarians are causing trouble.
The writing and sentence structure of this weekly is completely different from that of ordinary HK media. It uses traditional Chinese characters at most, which is completely different from HK's own slang style of writing, and seems extremely alternative.
After the report came out, because of its rational thinking, objective description, and neutral comments, it immediately became a new trend in overseas public opinion. Even the pen name of the author of the article was "Li Kezhong."
Because this is basically an article written by Uncle Zhou himself, and it is not for HK people to read. It is just for the purpose of "flowering flowers inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall." Through Xiao Jinlang's relationship within the system, the article has been internally referenced.
When "** News" reprinted this article, foreign media and official media combined, and the influence was instantly amplified tens of millions of times.
The appearance of this article swept away all demons and monsters.
The heads of Tianyang City are simply overjoyed. Reform always carries risks. They are currently suffering from the problem of massive unemployment. I don’t know how many people are adding insult to injury and waiting to see the good show.
Finally someone stood up and said something fair.
Or overseas media.
What an extremely rare right to speak!
This sentence is worth ten thousand sentences.
"Tian Yang Daily" reprinted this article again, just to tell people in the city - look, even overseas media say we are doing the right thing, and it is useless for you to make trouble.
Just three days later, "Harmony Weekly" published another special comment titled "When will cutting off flesh and mending sores stop?"
At the beginning of the article, he cursed in a sharp tone those who are incompetent, lazy, unwilling to make progress, despicable, cowardly, shameless, greedy, plundering, thieving, despicable, and evil-minded social worms.
'Li Kezhong' produced detailed data, listing how many ineffective departments and employees there were in Tianyang Machinery Factory, and listed the company's capital flow before and after layoffs.
Whether it is purchasing or selling in the factory, there are a lot of people holding pens waiting for approval, and no one is willing to delegate power. Many things just drag on and on.
Everyone can see one thing: such a large enterprise is riddled with holes by a group of moths. Just paying wages to retired employees consumes all the profits of the factory.
It doesn't matter if the company's profits are exhausted, it still has to borrow money to continue spending. Such enterprises have become a huge burden on Tianyang City, so much so that the entire city is overwhelmed.
Of course, the article's firepower is aimed at the group of people who have been laid off. "Li Kezhong" will not talk about other aspects of the same problem.
Xiao Jinlang continued to work hard and asked "** News" to simply start serializing overseas viewpoints.
Tianyang City Hall burst into tears after reading the second article!
Yes, yes, it's just such a moth that makes huge enterprises suffer and drags down the city's economy. It's all their fault, it's all their fault. Just get rid of them.
Everyone in the city wished they could consecrate Li Kezhong and say goodbye with three sticks of incense in the morning and evening. Not only did the city print media reprint it, but they also published commentator articles.
Even Tianyang TV station mobilized to dig deep into the machinery factory's "past, today and tomorrow" and criticize current social problems.
Due to the universal nature of the case, the social repercussions it triggered were extremely strong.
Everyone is facing the same problem. When reforms affect their own interests, what should they do?
If you don't change, everyone will die.
Change and die by yourself.
While everyone was questioning their souls, the instigator, ‘Li Kezhong’, was staying up late in his new office writing, thinking hard to continue writing the third article.
Oriole held a cup of tea and quietly placed it on the desk of his CEO. He whispered, "Mr. Zhou, it's very late. Everyone is off work. If you have anything else to do tomorrow, you can do it."
On the other side of the desk, Lin Wan, as the secretary-general, was helping Li Kezhong revise the manuscript. She raised her head and glanced at Huang Oriole, and said calmly: "Director Huang, you go back first. Mr. Zhou has to catch up on an important manuscript.
.”
Oriole glared, and the meaning in her eyes was: "I'm concerned about the president, and I want you to mind your own business."
Lin Wan glared back without showing any signs of weakness, and the meaning was even more clear, "Get away, there is no chance for you to make trouble here."
Oriole did not leave, but approached the president. A faint fragrance floated and lingered. Zhou Qingfeng, who was frowning, raised his head and smelled it, and asked: "The perfume is good."
Seeing that the bitch opposite was almost next to Zhou Qingfeng, Lin Wan gritted her teeth in hatred.
But before Oriole could feel proud, he suddenly stared at the table and whispered in surprise: "Li Kezhong? Mr. Zhou, did you write this article?"
There were more than a dozen pages of scrap manuscripts on Zhou Qingfeng's desk. Oriole quickly scanned them and said in surprise: "Mr. Zhou, you are so brave. This is considered to be an arbitrary discussion of government affairs."
The third article of "Li Kezhong" naturally talks about how to solve the current situation. Zhou Qingfeng has a thousand words in his heart, but he can only use them as a reference when written out.
Oriole read more than a dozen pages, one after another. She originally wanted to tease her CEO, but now she was sweating profusely and dizzy.
What are written on the pages are lessons and responses from the past. But if these things are sent out, they will definitely kill Zhou Qingfeng with one blow.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He took back the page in Oriole's hand, tore it up and threw it into the trash can. "That's not what I want to publish. What I'm writing is."
Oriole once again carefully read Zhou Qingfeng's unfinished manuscript. Compared with the shock, surprise and even horror of his thoughts just now, the manuscript he was about to publish was much more vulgar.
"Mr. Zhou, your revised version is boring. It's all official cliches."
