Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

In the automobile factory's conference room, Chen Changan was presiding over a meeting of factory leaders.

"That's the thing. It's a good thing for our car factory.

The three-wheeled truck business employs half of our workers.

But compared with the profits obtained, compared with the profits of a pickup truck, it is indeed much lower.

So as the number of intended orders for pickup trucks in Hong Kong Island increases.

It is conceivable that the tasks of pickup trucks in the future will probably increase dramatically.

Therefore, the company abandoned the relatively useless three-wheeled vehicle business and let the workers, who occupied half of the entire factory, turn their full attention to the production of pickup trucks.

In this way, we can not only optimize the industry of our automobile factory, but also increase the profits.

The car factory is only going to get better and better.”

In the meeting room, Hou Mingjun looked indifferent. As an office director, these production matters had little to do with him.

Shi Heping was almost unable to sit still. He was now concentrating on his research.

If Chen Changan hadn't repeatedly requested, he wouldn't have wanted to attend this meeting.

The mission to expand the use of diesel engines, which was presided over by Shi Heping, has reached the most critical juncture.

Success or failure depends on this one move, regarding the issue of industrial adjustment of automobile factories.

Chen Changan has the most say, and he is too lazy to care about such matters.

The only one who looked unhappy was Yang Yunfei, who was in charge of the three-wheeled heavy-duty motorcycle.

Among these deputy factory managers, he was originally responsible for the largest number of workers.

Many people say that he is the first deputy director of the automobile factory.

Since becoming the deputy factory director, I have been working diligently and never dare to relax for a moment.

However, he did not expect that a business adjustment in the factory would immediately leave him alone.

At this moment, Yang Yunfei also experienced what heaven and hell were.

Although we know that motorcycles are not as profitable as cars overseas, the sales of motorcycles are also slowly decreasing.

Although I know it clearly in my heart, I still feel uncomfortable.

Chen Changan looked at the factory leaders, seeing no one objected, and continued.

“The ministry’s intention is to set up a new motorcycle factory.

It will be used to continue producing motorcycles, but it requires technical support from our automobile factory."

Hearing this, Yang Yunfei's expression suddenly changed.

He could accept the industrial adjustment of the automobile factory, but he could not accept leaving the factory with the workers.

He had no ability to change Chen Changan's decision, nor could he change the department's decision.

But he still spoke.

“Director, I can accept industrial restructuring, but I’m from the automobile factory.

No matter what, I will not leave the car factory."

Chen Changan smiled.

"Hear me out.

The department wants to transfer people from our automobile factory, but I don't agree.

Our automobile factory has trained these workers with great difficulty.

Switching to producing pickup trucks would require basically no additional effort.

How could I possibly give it up to someone else?

The department also took this into consideration and came up with a plan.

The automobile factory will provide some backbone personnel to complete the construction of the skeleton of this new motorcycle factory.

From the construction of the factory, recruitment, training, formulation of various rules and disciplines, production, and so on.

After completion, you can choose to stay in the new motorcycle factory, or return to the car factory.

During this period, my organizational relationship was still with the automobile factory. To put it bluntly, I was helping the ministry to set up a new motorcycle factory.

You can come back if you want to, and it’s okay if you don’t want to.

However, the department will also arrange a number of deputy factory managers to learn from you.

So, is there anyone willing to lead people to set up a new motorcycle factory?"

After Chen Changan finished speaking, everyone except Shi Heping and Hou Yan was thoughtful.

This sounds like a simple matter. Not only will you be the director of the new factory just by going there.

Moreover, in the early stage, you have enormous power, and whatever you say goes pretty much the final say.

It seems like a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand.

This is totally making things easier for others.

He wants to control the new motorcycle factory as completely as he controls the car factory, just like Chen Changan.

I'm afraid that technology alone is far from enough.

For a moment, the conference room fell into deep thought, and everyone was weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Changan asked.

"Well, is there anyone willing to give it a try?

No matter what, this is an experience for you.

It is of some benefit to you.”

There are some benefits, so what Chen Changan said is not nonsense.

For the leaders of the automobile factory, they have relied on their own abilities and Chen Changan's appreciation to be able to sit in their current positions.

Try changing to another factory. Without some connections or background, you can only last a few years.

Becoming the deputy director of a factory with 10,000 employees? You are just dreaming.

Needless to say, the several deputy factory directors arranged by the so-called department of the new motorcycle factory are definitely people with strong connections and backgrounds.

Most likely they are the second generation. As long as you go there, you don't deliberately go against them.

Recognize your position, be willing to delegate power, and be willing to cooperate.

It is very likely that they will become your backers.

This is what is called making connections, and perhaps it can make your future path less bumpy.

Chen Changan wasn't sure whether these people really couldn't see this or just didn't bother to do so.

Or maybe he thought that it would be nice to work under Chen Changan in a car factory for the rest of his life.

Anyway, no one was willing to lead a team to the new motorcycle factory.

"Why? You don't like this new motorcycle factory?

The ministry has been very nice to us and basically doesn't want any workers from our factory.

Even if you don't speak, you still have to choose someone to lead the team to the new motorcycle factory in the end.

It's not like you can avoid going by not speaking or expressing your opinion."

Hearing this, Yang Yunfei spoke.

"Director, I won't go. I have a bad temper and can't serve those second-generations.

It would be fine if they were just being honest, but they are always bossing me around.

I was afraid that I couldn't help but beat them. My tricycle production workshop would be gone.

It's bad enough already, you can't ask me to go to the new motorcycle factory, right?

I think Director Hou is a very smooth person who understands both technology and administration.

He is very adept at recruiting workers and formulating various regulations.

I recommend Director Hou to lead the team. Going to the new motorcycle factory is the best choice.”

Shang Ping, who was in charge of the pickup truck, also spoke up.

"Yes, I also think Director Hou is the best candidate."

"No, I don't agree."

Others may cheat Hou Mingjun, but as an aunt, it is impossible for her to cheat her own family.

"As the office director of the automobile factory, Hou Mingjun knows nothing about production.

Let him lead the team to the new motorcycle factory. If he messes up, it will damage the image of our automobile factory."

"Deputy Director Hou, you may have forgotten that Director Hou is a technical person.

Besides, you are relatives, so don't you need to stay away from this kind of thing?"
