Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 263 Major Adjustment of Company Organization

Less than an hour after the meeting, Chen Peng issued a notice in the name of the Discipline Inspection Office.

In the afternoon of the same day, more than 5 leading cadres who applied for resignation went to work on time.

Their working attitude was several times more positive than before, and they quickly restored Red Star to normal operations, and even tried their best to make up for the losses caused by the suspension of production in the previous two days.

These people are well aware that Red Star Company is too big, and if there is a problem with its operation, the losses will be staggering. It is a powerful weapon for them to threaten Zhong Cheng with this.

But now, Zhong Cheng turns to threaten them with this.

The loss of tens of billions and tens of billions was apportioned, and it was really not a joke to be executed if it was serious. This was even more unbearable for them. Lei Changwu and his gang were completely scared out of their wits.

It's okay to fight for power and money, but they really don't have the guts to fight for their lives.

Red Star Company quickly calmed down the resignation storm and resumed normal operations, which disappointed many people who wanted to see jokes, but also relieved more people who cared about Red Star Company.

Zhong Cheng's name is in full swing in Red Star Company, and his prestige is as high as that of his predecessor, Mr. Deng. He is also famous outside of Red Star Company!

By this time, those voices who doubted Zhong Cheng's ability to take charge of the Red Star Heavy Industry Group had completely disappeared.

Starting from March 3, Zhong Chengcheng began to plan another big event.

This is something he wanted to do a long time ago, but because there was too much movement and too many leading cadres and managers were involved, he originally wanted to put it off a few years later.

But now is a rare opportunity!
He has always been troubled by the 188 branches of Red Star Company. So many branches have been left over from history, and some have been preserved during mergers and reorganizations.

These large branches, such as nuclear fusion generator companies, robot manufacturing companies, and electric car companies, have tens of thousands of employees and an annual output value of several trillion yuan.

Small ones, such as clothing companies, shoe and hat companies, and wood processing companies, have only a few hundred employees and an annual output value of less than 1 million yuan.

These small and medium-sized companies are small but well-equipped.

Compared with large branches, there are not many functional departments such as finance department, personnel department, purchasing department, technical department, quality department, etc.

The general manager, deputy general manager, minister, deputy minister, manager, deputy manager, and a large number of management cadres are also equivalent to the leaders of large branch companies at the administrative level.

What makes him even more intolerable is that although these small and medium-sized companies have no development prospects, they are able to guarantee their income in drought and flood.

As a result, most of these leading cadres are muddling along, living their lives, and are the hardest hit areas of corruption. The main force of the resignation incident this time comes from these small and medium-sized companies.

It is difficult for the group to manage so many branches comprehensively. It only focuses on the management and control of large and medium-sized branches, and adopts a stocking policy for many small companies, which is also one of the main reasons for this situation.

Zhong Cheng was also dissatisfied with the fact that the group headquarters has nearly 26 managers in [-] functional departments.

When Zhou Hu and the others implemented the Gonggong manufacturing system six years ago, they streamlined the functional departments of the Red Star Company at that time, but due to various reasons, they were not thorough.

Later, after the company's merger and reorganization, it took over a large number of logistics personnel from military enterprises in Beishan City, and the functional departments expanded again, with overlapping agencies and overstaffed personnel.

Now that it is an information society, how can we use so many functional departments and managers?
The implementation of the Yang Jian evaluation system this time has triggered a storm of resignation of a large number of leading cadres, and there will definitely be a large number of leading cadres and management personnel who will be laid off due to unqualified evaluations.

This will vacate a large number of management positions, and this is the best time to make major adjustments to the company's organizational structure.

Zhong Cheng summoned Zhou Hu, Yang Shuzhen, and the secretary of the general manager's office, worked overtime for several days to plan, and determined the preliminary adjustment plan.

The functional departments of the headquarters have been reduced to twelve, with 800 management personnel, a reduction rate of more than 50%.

The number of branches has been reduced from 188 to 63, and 125 small and medium-sized branches have been revoked, merged, and reorganized.

Some unnecessary businesses are abandoned, and it is much more cost-effective to buy directly, and there is no need to produce everything by yourself.

The number of middle and high-level leading cadres has been reduced from more than 500 to 165, and more than 6 grassroots cadres have also been reduced to more than 4.

This is an unprecedentedly streamlined plan, holding this plan, Zhou Hu's hands were trembling.

"Boss, stop thinking about it!"

Zhou Hu thought of the past when he was accused by thousands of people, and now he still shudders.

Yang Shuzhen sneered and said, "I think that according to this plan, there are still too many managers. Should we consider reducing some more people?"

"Mr. Yang, you have nothing to worry about in the company. Of course, you have nothing to do. We are different. If so many people's jobs are ruined, the family members will be stabbed in the back."

"Zhou Hu, why are you such a mother-in-law?" Yang Shuzhen said impatiently, Zhou Hu's unintentional words made her feel sore.

Zhong Cheng smiled and said: "That's it, with me standing in front, what are you worried about?"

"Huzi, go and arrange a board meeting on March 3, and I'll bring this plan to the meeting to discuss!"

If the implementation of the Yang Jian evaluation system is a normal business decision of the company in Zhong Cheng's eyes, then the layoff of tens of thousands of leading cadres can be regarded as a major event of the company.

According to regulations, it must be approved by the board of directors before it can be implemented.

August 3 afternoon.

In the small conference room on the [-]th floor of the headquarters building.

Zhong Cheng convened the second board meeting of Red Star Heavy Industry Group Corporation.

In addition to the nine directors, four senior leaders of Red Star Company, including Li Changfeng, Chen Peng, Lin Hansheng, and Zheng Yilun, attended the meeting.

Shao Weimin and Cheng Zhidong, who attended the meeting last time, did not appear.

The two have been detained and interrogated by the company's security department on suspicion of manipulating the referendum and instigating the resignation of managers, causing heavy losses to the company.

The Security Department of Red Star Company has the law enforcement qualifications of prefecture-level public security organs, and has the power to arrest and detain criminal suspects within the Beishan District of Xijing City and the Red Star Heavy Industry Group Company.

Zhong Cheng presided over the meeting, and first explained the several turmoil that occurred in the company some time ago.

Mr. Deng and other old leaders of the former Red Star Company did not comment too much on the Yang Jian evaluation system, but Zhao Dong, Qian Dong, and Sun Dong were very interested.

Ask Zhong Cheng to explain and demonstrate the functions of the system in detail, and focus on asking about reliability and related confidentiality measures.

Zhao Dong asked Zhong Cheng to write a detailed explanatory document, which they had to bring back to the capital and hand it over to the superiors, and asked Zhong Cheng to report the implementation situation regularly.

Then, Zhong Cheng introduced the situation of Shao Weimin and Cheng Zhidong again, without embellishment, he just stated their role in these incidents in a matter-of-fact manner, and affirmed their past achievements.

The directors just said that they will see how to deal with the two after the results of the interrogation and investigation are available, but no matter what the result is, their positions in Red Star Company cannot be kept.

Mr. Deng asked Zhong Cheng to choose two more deputy general managers as soon as possible to fill the vacancies. This is the number of senior management personnel of the company stipulated by the company regulations, and it cannot be left vacant for a long time.

Although Zhong Cheng felt that there was no need to have so many deputy general managers, this was a rigid rule and a restrictive measure for the general manager, and he could not violate it.
