The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Lin Zhiyuan's first class has finally begun.

Most of the state-owned enterprise CEOs here have been abroad, but they have never thought of being able to have such a deep understanding of foreign economic situations and steel markets, analyze and study them, and finally apply the results in actual combat.

It turns out that information is so important. We were blind and blind, and we made mistakes for so many years. Looking at others, we don’t fight unprepared battles. Their success makes sense.

During lunch, Lin Zhiyuan was surrounded by bosses. Problems came one after another. Lin Zhiyuan couldn't even finish a meal. In the end, Li Zhenshan felt distressed and came over, "I say everyone, you are in a hurry." I can understand your mood, but can you let Zhiyuan finish the meal?"

Everyone laughed, and Wan Kaijie joked, "Why, Mr. Li, are you feeling distressed now?"

Li Zhenshan replied confidently: "Of course, Ganqing Zhiyuan is not one of your men. He didn't even take a sip of water this morning, so please let him go for the time being! Let him finish his meal in peace."

The crowd dispersed.

Lin Zhiyuan finished his meal and returned to his room to rest under the escort of Li Zhenshan.

At this time, Li Zhenshan was like an old hen protecting her young, guarding Lin Zhiyuan tightly and not allowing anyone to covet him.

Lin Zhiyuan slept beautifully in the room for two hours. He had nothing to do in the afternoon and he could take a walk in the resort.

Because this training class is for older business leaders, the course arrangement is very loose, with one class each in the morning and afternoon, each class lasts two hours.

The lunch break at noon is also very long, from [-] o'clock to [-] o'clock, giving everyone enough rest time.

After a period of time, various courses took turns, and the bosses discovered that several aspects mentioned by Lin Zhiyuan in the first class, such as information collection and analysis, corporate brand building, judgment and analysis of the international economic situation, and modern enterprise management, were all covered. Professional teachers teach.

The theoretical level of these teachers is higher than that of Lin Zhiyuan, but Lin Zhiyuan's advantage lies in his ability to perfectly combine theory with practice and apply it in actual combat.

After taking the class for a few days, all the managers felt that they had gained a lot.In particular, Bai Yuquan's lecture on the collection and analysis of international steel market types and price data made all the bosses fully aware of the important role of data. Some have even begun to prepare to establish a data information department within their own companies and increase their support for the sales department. construction.

Four days later, Lin Zhiyuan gave another lecture. This time the topic of his lecture was the benefits of establishing an industry association.

The entrepreneur students below expressed their expectation and welcome to Teacher Lin's appearance on the stage again.

After Lin Zhiyuan came to power, he first wrote the four characters "Industry Association" on the blackboard.

"Dear leaders, I believe you are no strangers to industry associations. Although our domestic steel companies still do not have a formal industry association, there have been many similar examples in other industries or other countries and regions."

"I have a question, why do we need to form an industry association? Can anyone answer me?"

Hai Gangqing from Shanghai Steel was the first to raise his hand and answer, "Mr. Lin, I remember you said that forming an industry association can integrate our forces to negotiate with foreigners and then dominate the import price of iron ore. .”

"Yes, Mr. Hai is right." Lin Zhiyuan turned around and first wrote two words on the blackboard, import, and then wrote four words on the right side of import, raw material cost.

"The biggest role of establishing an industry association is to establish a price alliance, and everyone can come together to negotiate with raw material suppliers to drive down the price of iron ore."

Lu Tiesheng, the boss of Caosteel, raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Lin, do companies like us with our own mines need to join? We don't need to import iron ore."

Several other CEOs with their own mines echoed the sentiment.

"Yes, Teacher Lin, we all have our own mines and we don't need to import raw materials."

Lin Zhiyuan was unhurried, "This situation is indeed common now, but with economic growth, our country's need for steel will be greater and greater. By then, our own mines may not be able to meet our needs. Imported iron ore It’s a matter of time, and the earlier we take the initiative, the more we can seize the initiative.”

Jin Huaying from Hansteel raised her hand, "Teacher Lin, can establishing an industry association help avoid vicious competition? We at Hansteel also want to learn about leather steel and export steel. If several of our steel companies export at the same time, foreigners will definitely take advantage of it." To lower prices based on this, industry associations can set a bottom line for export prices, and no member unit can violate this rule and lower each other's prices, ultimately benefiting foreigners."

"Yes, Mr. Jin is right. Another important role of establishing an industry association is to avoid malicious competition, set an export price floor, and maintain our profits. This is also the best way for us to protect ourselves."

Lin Zhiyuan wrote the words export and profit on the blackboard again.

"The analysis of several CEOs is very reasonable. The establishment of an industry association not only has these two major benefits, we can also learn from each other, jointly improve our technical level, and strive to catch up with international advanced steel companies as soon as possible. Before the training class starts, Many leaders have heard that our leather steel has introduced a 1780 hot rolling production line from Dongsangguo. Here, on behalf of Mr. Li, I would like to extend an invitation to everyone. All members of the industry association can come to our leather steel. Observe and learn about this production line on site.”

After Lin Zhiyuan finished his lecture on industry associations, all the bosses present expressed that they would join the steel industry association.

Xia Pengchi is very pleased. In addition to learning and improvement, the biggest purpose of this training class is to establish a steel industry association. Looking at the attitudes of the bosses, this goal should be achieved smoothly.

A week later, Director Liu from the Secrecy Bureau came to the sanatorium to teach everyone a lesson on information confidentiality.

Everyone thought the previous courses were very useful, but asking them to learn confidentiality made many bosses not understand.

For this reason, Lin Zhiyuan said a few words before class.

"I'm afraid none of the leaders here understand the importance of confidentiality. They think that how much steel our factory produces and how much ore we import in a year is not a national secret. Does it need to be kept secret?"

"What I want to say is that the data of each of our companies is actually a valuable asset. It is used in high-end machinery, elevators, precision equipment, arms exports, shipbuilding, aircraft, railway locomotives, automobiles, aerospace instruments, and production machinery. When it comes to steel, to put it bluntly, steel production and sales data are related to national security. Let me give you a small example. If a foreign economic spy is allowed to know the annual steel production and sales volume of each company here, he will sort out and study this information. We can judge the trend of our entire country's steel market, and the gap in raw materials will be very detrimental to us."

Lin Zhiyuan's words are by no means alarmist, but a living and bloody example.
