Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

The following conversation between Chen Changan and Shang Ping was much simpler.

"Chief Shang, you are also an old employee of the automobile factory. When the motorcycle factory was just built, you were also one of the first batch transferred here, right?"

"Director, I have a bad background, I just graduated from university and have some technical knowledge.

This is the reason I can have a job to support my family, and it is because I started working when the public and private sectors were merged.

Although I have a job, I am not welcome anywhere.

This is also why I was the first one to be sent to the motorcycle factory when it was short of people.

It was you who promoted me to deputy section chief. When the motorcycle factory became a car factory, you promoted me to section chief.

I can't change my bad background. My father was drafted and died early. My grandfather doesn't like soldiers.

I didn't lend the donkey at the beginning, because I was still young and I didn't have a say in the family.

You think highly of me, and I am willing to serve you. And I can also learn a lot from you. "

Chen Changan was quite satisfied with Shang Ping's answer.

His background is not good. When the storm starts, I'm afraid that only Chen Changan can protect him in the car factory.

At least in the next ten years, she will protect Chen Changan wholeheartedly.

"What kind of car do you think a pickup truck is?"

“I think pickup trucks are very practical, as they can carry both goods and people.

It is a very practical vehicle for businesses and farms.

Compared with our country, foreign countries probably need pickup trucks more.

In addition, I think that pickup trucks have some off-road capabilities and can also be used as vehicles for the rapid transfer of small troops during war.

People sit in the front seat, and weapons and equipment are placed in the rear cargo box. When necessary, people can also sit in the cargo box.

Especially if you put a heavy machine gun or a mortar there, tsk tsk tsk."

Don’t say that Shangping is just bad in terms of ingredients, all other aspects are pretty good.

"What do you think if you were made the deputy factory manager, responsible for the production of pickup trucks?

What do you need to pay attention to? What can you do?

Shang Ping was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe that he could become the deputy factory director?

Knowing your next answer may very well determine your future.

“I think pickup trucks are still freight vehicles, and the first thing to focus on is quality and cargo transportation capacity.

As for the extent of the achievement, I cannot guarantee it. I can only try my best to make the workers pay attention to quality issues.

After all, the motorcycle factory at that time had proved that foreigners were not stupid.

When you have a choice, if your quality is poor, you won’t be able to sell your products.

This is different from the situation in China, where you have no choice but to accept the poor quality.”

Chen Changan nodded, agreeing with Shang Ping's answer.

Finally, it was Hou Mingjun. Chen Changan was going to remove Hou Mingjun from the position of deputy factory director and make him the office director.

These personnel arrangements need to be communicated in advance, and they are just a formality when the meeting starts.

Otherwise, if there is a quarrel during the meeting, everyone will look bad.

After getting home from get off work in the evening, Chen Changan went to see Hou Mingjun.

"The senior leader came to inspect the factory today, why didn't he show up at the factory?"

"I did something wrong, but I don't dare to see the leader. What if Uncle Nie scolds me in public? I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future.

It’s better not to go, at least you won’t see me, and you’ll forget about me after a while.”

It's really hard to say about this kind of thing. But if you never show up in front of your leader, how can he remember you?

Just like this time when you were reported, Uncle Nie did remember you. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good thing.

The leader doesn’t know when good things happen, but remembers all the bad things.

"I have something to discuss with you."

"Director, what else is there to discuss? I'll listen to whatever you say."

“What is it like? After the senior leaders came to inspect, they felt that our factory is not just about motorcycles.

We will also start manufacturing cars at full capacity. We will launch two models, the Jeep and the pickup truck, at the same time.”

Hou Mingjun heard this and immediately spoke.

"This is a good thing. Now, won't our factory have tens of thousands of workers?"

“Yes, the current plan is to recruit 30,000 workers.

As the number of workers in the factory increases, more leaders are also needed at all levels.

Your position as deputy factory manager is a bit awkward. Your skills are still a little inferior in comparison.

As for the two models in the automobile project, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it well.

After all, it is a car, the quality cannot be bad. It's not that you can't manage it.

I'm afraid that you'll be like Li Huaide, whose secrets were concealed by the people under you.

So I decided to let you be the office director. As for the deputy factory director, I will arrange two other people."

After hearing what Chen Changan said, Hou Mingjun immediately looked sad.

"Director, please don't do that. I know I'm wrong, isn't that enough? Please don't fire me."

"You are wrong. You have not been dismissed. Your rank remains the same, but you have been transferred from deputy factory director to office director.

You didn't want to work the night shift? Now you have got what you wanted, and you can work the long day shift with me."

Hou Mingjun felt better when he heard that the level remained unchanged.

"What does an office director do? I've never done that."

“You did this when you were the deputy director of the pharmaceutical factory?

Being an office director is a very powerful job. You can manage anything related to the office. You have great power, few things to do, and it is not tiring. "

Hou Mingjun looked at Chen Changan with resentment, feeling that Chen Changan was treating him as a fool.

“Actually, the office director position is quite simple, you can just think of it as my secretary.

I'm going to have a meeting, so I'll notify you first. You go and notify the participants.

When the superior leaders come to inspect, you will be the one to receive them.

The office usage of each department in the factory and the distribution of tables, chairs and benches.

Just understand it like this, my secretary, and the factory's chief steward."

Following Chen Changan's brief introduction, Hou Mingjun became thoughtful.

It sounds like this office director is pretty good. He can handle matters big and small.

And he is by Chen Changan's side, so he will definitely not forget me if there is any benefit.

In addition, as I said before, I would listen to whatever Chen Changan said.

"Okay, I know you, the factory director, will not harm me. I will take on the job of office director."

"Okay, if you don't have anything to do at the factory tonight, just take a nap. There will be a meeting of factory leaders tomorrow morning."

The matter was happily decided. Chen Changan originally thought that Hou Mingjun would still make a fuss for a while. But later he thought about it and understood.

To be honest, Hou Mingjun has no merit. He has always been thriving with his own help.

Even Uncle Nie knew that Shi Heping had good technical skills.

However, when mentioning Hou Mingjun, no one said what Hou Mingjun was good at.

Chen Changan had never expected Hou Mingjun to give him much technical help.

He has always treated Hou Mingjun as a confidant.

Now putting Hou Mingjun in the position of office director is just the right way to make the best use of his talents.
