Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In the conference room, the leaders of the transportation company and the middle-level cadres gathered together. This time, the main discussion was about the garment factory.

I saw Zhu Shicong say: "Since this year, the garment factory has suffered serious losses, and the workers have not been able to pay wages for three months. Comrade Wang Lan, the former director of the garment factory, is also going through the retirement procedures, so the top priority is to give clothing The factory assigns a new factory manager, so that the overall situation can be stabilized."

"Mr. Zhu is right, but the current garment factory is a mess, not to mention turning losses into profits, and wanting to pay workers wages is a problem. Who should take over as the factory manager?" Trade Union Chairman Chen asked.

Zhu Shicong immediately replied: "I have a personal choice. Our company's traffic hospital, Yang Peng, the head of the logistics department, has outstanding ability and outstanding work performance. I think he can be the director of the garment factory."

Hearing the name "Yang Peng", everyone felt a little familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, we realized that this is not Zhu Shicong's cousin!

Zhu Shicong looked at everyone and found that there was no objection. After all, everyone knew that the garment factory was already a mess, and anyone who took over would be hot. No one would compete with Zhu Shicong for such a mess. Zhu Shicong wanted his nephew to be the director of the factory, so let him go!

However, Yu Zhengcheng coughed dryly and said, "In fact, in addition to appointing the factory manager, we can also think of other ways to revitalize the garment factory."

"Secretary Yu, what's your opinion?" President Chen of the labor union asked immediately.

"Isn't the country advocating reform now? We should also respond to the country's call. I think we can try to contract out the garment factory." Yu Zhengcheng replied.

"Contract?" Everyone was taken aback, but no one expected that Yu Zhengcheng, who has always been steady in his behavior, would say the word "contract".

Yu Zhengcheng, who will retire in two years, is indeed a very conservative leader. For example, Yu Zhengcheng opposed the previous sales by Yunyun, and he was unwilling to take policy risks.

But now to solve the jobs of the 400 workers in the garment factory, Yu Zhengcheng still showed a decisive side.

I saw Yu Zhengcheng took out a document and said, "Comrade Li Weidong from the freight department, I think a set of plans for contracting a garment factory proposed to the company is feasible. You may wish to circulate it and discuss it."

Yu Zhengcheng said, and took the lead in handing the document to Zhu Shicong.

"Why is this Li Weidong coming out to disrupt the situation again!" Zhu Shicong took the document reluctantly.

Several leaders quickly circulated the document, but no one made a statement. After all, the garment factory is a mess. Since there is no need to compete with Zhu Shicong for a mess, there is no need to fight Yu Zhengcheng for the same mess.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhu Shicong had no choice but to say: "Secretary Yu, we are a state-owned enterprise. Although the garment factory is the third industry, if it is contracted to an individual, it will become private!"

"You can't say that. It's been so many years in the countryside that land contracting has been done, and the land is still not owned by the state? The same is true for our state-owned enterprises. We won't say that the tertiary industry is contracted out, and the nature of the enterprise has changed."

Yu Zhengcheng paused, then said: "Not to mention, it was not contracted to outsiders, but to Li Weidong. Li Weidong is a cadre of our company! He went to contract a garment factory, which is equivalent to the company directly sending a cadre , to be the director of a garment factory."

"Since contracting is almost the same as sending a factory manager directly, it's better to send a cadre directly to be the factory manager, and it saves a lot of trouble." Zhu Shicong retorted.

"After all, there is still a difference." Yu Zhengcheng pointed to the contracting plan, and then said: "Li Weidong promised that after he contracted the garment factory, he would not only pay the wages of the garment factory workers, but also pay 20,000 yuan to the company every year. block of profits. Let’s send a factory manager directly there.

Can this be done? "

"Well..." This topic made Zhu Shicong unable to answer. He also knew that the garment factory was a mess. No matter who became the factory manager, it would be difficult to guarantee the wages of the workers, not to mention the annual profit of 20,000 yuan.

Zhu Shicong pondered for a few seconds, and finally said: "The current situation of the garment factory is very difficult. It is very good to be able to earn the wages of the workers, and it has to pay 20,000 yuan of profits every year. I am afraid this is not a satellite. !"

Yu Zhengcheng smiled slightly and said, "I may not believe what others say, but Li Weidong, I think he has the ability, what do you think?"

Li Weidong's performance in the past two years is really dazzling, 250 tires, or 15 Yellow River heavy trucks, these are things that others can't do, but Li Weidong can do it with strength, which itself is a manifestation of ability .

What really made the transportation company recognize Li Weidong from top to bottom was the plan of "selling on behalf of transportation", which brought hundreds of thousands of extra profits to the transportation company every month. Based on this alone, no one would question Li Weidong's actions. ability.

Li Weidong has been in a state-owned enterprise for the past two years, and he is not a white man. At least he has the capital to do business, and the accumulation of personal connections has also allowed others to recognize his ability. This can also be regarded as a single dog from the beginning, and a set of magical costumes.

Zhu Shicong knew that in terms of ability, his nephew Yang Peng was definitely inferior to Li Weidong, not to mention that Li Weidong offered a bait of 20,000 yuan a year to contract the garment factory. If you compare Li Weidong and Yang Peng on the table, Yang Peng will definitely fail.

However, Zhu Shicong didn't intend to admit defeat. He thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I agree in principle that our company's comrades will contract the garment factory. But who should do the contract, should we discuss it again? "

Yu Zhengcheng glanced at Zhu Shicong and asked, "Comrade Shicong, besides Li Weidong, is there anyone else who wants to contract the garment factory?"

"Of course." Zhu Shicong nodded: "The comrade Yang Peng I mentioned just now also has the will to contract the garment factory. The reason why he didn't take the initiative is because he was worried that the company would not allow employees to contract the garment factory."

"Oh, besides Li Weidong and Yang Peng, who else wants to contract the garment factory?" Yu Zhengcheng looked at everyone.

Everyone was silent, watching the first and second leaders of the company fight.

Yu Zhengcheng continued: "It seems that the candidates for contracting the garment factory have to choose one of the two comrades Li Weidong and Yang Peng. I think since it is a choice, we should choose the best. Comrade Li Weidong's contracting plan, everyone I've seen it all, but I don't know about Comrade Yang Peng's contracting plan, and he intends to hand over tens of thousands of profits to the company every year?"

Yu Zhengcheng said, deliberately looking at Zhu Shicong.

"Turn it over to you!" Zhu Shicong cursed inwardly.

Zhu Shicong knew very well that if it was replaced by Yang Peng's contract, not to mention turning over the profits, he was afraid that even the wages would not be paid in full. If you really choose the best, then the garment factory must be Li Weidong's.

After all, Zhu Shicong is an old fritters. He rolled his eyes and immediately took it to heart.

Seeing Zhu Shicong coughing dryly, he said, "Secretary Yu, I think it's too hasty for us to hold a meeting here and then decide on the candidate to contract the garment factory.

After all, there are 400 workers in a garment factory. Whoever contracts the garment factory is related to the livelihood of these 400 workers. Therefore, I think the workers of the garment factory should choose who will contract the garment factory. Only the people selected in this way are in line with the wishes of the employees, and they can better reflect our company's fine tradition of being employee-oriented. "

"Let the employees choose?" Yu Zhengcheng frowned, this is definitely a stupid suggestion.

Modern enterprises rely on elections to determine who is at the helm! Among the Fortune 500, which company's CEO is selected by the employees themselves?

Of course, corporate managers are the ones who are capable. Bringing democratic elections to corporate management and letting employees choose their own leaders is because they think the company is not dying fast enough.

However, among state-owned enterprises, it is worth advocating for employees to play a sense of ownership, and it is even more correct for state-owned enterprises to build democracy.

For example, selecting a group of employee representatives every year, participating in the workers' congress, and participating in major decisions of the enterprise is a must for state-owned enterprises.

With Walmart, Amazon, Apple, Samsung and other companies, there is no such thing as a workers’ congress, and what major decisions are made, the board of directors and management have the final say, and employees don’t even have the opportunity to be “represented.” However, these companies can become the world's top.

Therefore, when Zhu Shicong proposed to let the workers of the garment factory choose their own contractors, Yu Zhengcheng could not refute it even though he scolded him inwardly.

Zhu Shicong continued to add: "Regarding the contracting of state-owned enterprises, although there is no policy prohibition, but there is no clear basis, maybe one day, when the policy is tightened, this contracting will become a violation. We let clothing Factory workers choose contractors, so they can avoid policy risks!"

Zhu Shicong's words spoke to everyone's heart. No one, including Yu Zhengcheng, is willing to take responsibility for things that are not yet clear about this policy.

Let the workers of the garment factory choose their own contractors. Once there is a problem, it is also the choice of the workers of the garment factory. The leadership of the transportation company can shirk most of the responsibilities.

When it comes to taking responsibility, the leadership of the transportation company instantly sided with Zhu Shicong, and everyone supported it, letting the workers of the garment factory choose their own contractors.

The first case of contracting by a state-owned enterprise in China occurred in 1984, which caused a lot of controversy at that time. The reform and opening up is in the period of feeling the stones to cross the river, and the state is also cautiously watching the contracting of state-owned enterprises, neither advocating nor stopping it.

Until 1985, Xinhua News Agency published an article affirming the first case of contracting a state-owned enterprise, and the contracting of state-owned enterprises gradually began to be recognized.

In 1988, the state promulgated the "Interim Regulations on the Contract Management Responsibility System of Industrial Enterprises Owned by the Whole People", which gave a clear policy basis for contracting state-owned enterprises.

In 1986, although the state has begun to implement various forms of management contract responsibility system, to give operators full operational autonomy. But after all, there is no policy basis in black and white, and many leaders of state-owned enterprises are also very cautious about contracting.

...

Yu Zhengcheng called Li Weidong to the office and briefly explained the situation of the meeting.

"So, I have one more competitor?" Li Weidong asked with a look of surprise.

In Li Weidong's opinion, no one should be willing to take over the mess of the garment factory, but he didn't expect that there would be people arguing with him.

"It's the head of the logistics section of the company's hospital. His name is Yang Peng. He seems to be Zhu Shicong's nephew." Yu Zhengcheng replied.

"Yang Peng, this name sounds familiar!" Li Weidong thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that at this point in his previous life, it was Yang Peng who was sent to be the director of a garment factory.

Yang Peng was the director of the garment factory for two years. Instead of bringing the garment factory back to life, he completely brought down the garment factory, and finally sold the sewing machines as scrap metal.

When the garment factory collapsed, Yu Zhengcheng had retired, Zhu Shicong became the company's leader, and Wang Haibin, the procurement department, also joined the leadership of the transportation company. Yang Peng took over from Wang Haibin and became the new procurement director. It is also equivalent to a rise.

Similar situations are not uncommon in the wave of state-owned enterprise closures. When an enterprise collapses, leading cadres can change jobs and continue to be leaders in another place, and workers can only be laid off.

Yu Zhengcheng went on to say: "In a few days, the company will hold a voting meeting, and all the employees of the garment factory will participate. At that time, you and Yang Peng will first come to the stage to talk about their respective contracting plans, and then let the employees of the garment factory vote on the spot and count the votes on the spot. "

"Talking about the contracting plan? Isn't this a trick!" Li Weidong laughed.

As an old fried dough stick who has been in the shopping mall for more than 20 years, can he still "fudge"!

...

At the same time, in Zhu Shicong's office, Yang Peng was also called over.

"Uncle Biao, didn't you say that you directly sent me to be the director of the factory? So it became a contract?" Yang Peng asked with a puzzled face.

Zhu Shicong snorted coldly: "If you don't change it to contracting, how can you go to a garment factory to be the factory manager!"

"I've heard of that Li Weidong, but he's a talented man! If he voted, the workers of the garment factory would definitely vote for him. Besides, I don't have any contracting plans to talk about, and the factory manager has nothing to do with me." Yang Peng said with a look of frustration.

"You're stupid, can't you think of a way?" Zhu Shicong said.

"Uncle Biao, what can I do?" Yang Peng asked very simply.

"Do you think that you are really talking about the contracting plan when you come on stage to talk about the contracting plan? That is to let you fool the workers of the garment factory and vote for you. Can you fool? Can you brag? Right? First, give a promise to the workers of the garment factory, and it doesn't matter if they can be honored when they are selected." Zhu Shicong replied.

"Uncle Biao, how should I draw this cake?" Yang Peng asked like a dead wood.

"With your brain, you are so stupid, how did you think of becoming a factory manager in a garment factory so that you could be promoted?" Zhu Shicong asked inexplicably.

"My mother taught me." Yang Peng replied honestly.

Hearing that it was his cousin who came up with the idea, Zhu Shicong sighed helplessly, and he had to patiently say: "Isn't the garment factory out of business now, and on the day of the vote, you say that you have received a lot of orders, so that everyone can have jobs? It can be done, and there is a salary that can be paid, and won’t they all vote for you at that time?

But you can't just rely on your mouth, so let me ask Wang Haibin, the purchasing department, to purchase a batch of tooling in advance. When the time comes, you can hold the purchase order and brag with confidence.

In addition, you can also go to the clothing factory, find a few trustees, choose those who are older and more senior, and give them some favors. On the day of voting, let them speak good words for you on the spot. You have to know that most of the ordinary employees have no opinion. If someone says hello, others will vote for you. "
