Material Empire

Leng Yuming spoke so forcefully, but when Zhai Jianguo, director of the factory office, asked Du Xinxin to send the meeting notice to him, he still gave in. A group of middle-level cadres of the same age sat together, exchanging helpless glances with each other.

In Ning Zhongying's era, Ning Zhongying was responsible for the roll call when Qingfeng Factory held a meeting of middle-level cadres. The old man stood in front of the conference table and glanced around with eagle-like eyes, and he could tell who was absent. At this time, someone would naturally report to Ning Zhongying the reason for the absentee's absence. If the reason is reasonable, Ning Zhongying will not say anything; but if the reason is unreasonable, Ning Zhongying will call Wei Baolin, who was the director of the factory office at the time, and ask him to go to the broadcasting room and use a loudspeaker to notify the absentees to attend the meeting immediately. Offenders will be severely punished.

Everyone has always wanted to know what punishment would be incurred for absenting from Ning Zhongying's meeting, but they have not been able to find the answer. The reason is very simple, that is, no one dared to challenge Ning Zhongying's authority, so until Ning Zhongying retired to the second line, no one was really punished like this.

After Wei Baolin came to power, according to the requirements of modern management, he vigorously promoted institutionalized, humanized, and economical management reforms. He believes that using a loudspeaker to call people is an act of violating the rights of employees, and he will never use it again. At the same time, he introduced economic means into enterprise management, stipulating that a certain amount of bonuses will be deducted for one absence from a meeting, and wages will be deducted when there is no bonus. Since the economic efficiency of Qingfeng Factory is getting worse day by day, and the employees' bonuses and benefits have long since disappeared, no one dares to joke about the salary in their hands. Therefore, every time Wei Baolin calls for a meeting, no matter what they are busy with Throw it down quickly and attend the meeting obediently.

Start the roll call now. Zhai Jianguo took out a booklet and began to call out the names of middle-level cadres one by one. Everyone who was called by him should say come, just like the elementary school students in the school listening to the teacher's roll call.

Xiang Jiyong!

arrive!

Leng Yuming!

arrive!

Director Wei, there are 35 leaders and middle-level cadres in the whole factory. Except for sick leave and business trips, 32 people should have arrived, but 31 people have actually arrived. Now we can have a meeting. Zhai Jianguo finished counting names, closed the booklet, respectfully Said respectfully to Wei Baolin who was sitting on the main seat.

En. Wei Baolin nodded, the actual number of people present was one less than the expected number, which is the practice of every factory affairs meeting since he took office. The missing person is Ning Zhongying, the old factory director who is currently the director of the research office. Ning Zhongying is only retiring to the second line, not retired, he is still a working factory leader, and logically speaking, he should come to attend the factory affairs meeting. However, from the day Ning Zhongying received the notice of retiring to the second line, she moved all her personal belongings home, and then refused to participate in any activities in the factory. In this regard, Wei Baolin has nothing to do. The regulations on deducting wages and fines do not apply to Ning Zhongying. If Wei Baolin had the courage, he would not dare to touch Ning Zhongying's tiger's beard.

Comrades, today's meeting is a life-and-death meeting for our Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. I hope everyone will listen carefully, speak enthusiastically, and offer suggestions... Wei Baolin used a serious language as his opening speech, But he completely forgot that he had said the same thing several times, and Qingfeng Factory had been closed several times because of this.

At present, the situation of our Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory is obvious to all. That is, the products are backward and unable to adapt to the new situation and new requirements of the market. Practice shows that there is no way out if we continue to guard the sunset industry of agricultural machinery and tools. We We must adapt to the needs of the market, forge ahead with determination, and enter the sunrise industry, so that we can reverse the current predicament and move towards a new world of comprehensive development.

At this point, he paused slightly, and Zhai Jianguo responded without losing the opportunity: What Director Wei said is so good! It's worth our deep thinking!

The middle-level cadres present all felt a large patch of cold prickly heat on their backs, including not only cadres like Xiang Jiyong and the others who disliked Wei Baolin, but also some newcomers who were promoted by Wei Baolin. cadre. On weekdays, there were quite a few middle-level cadres who flattered Wei Baolin, but there was really no one who could shoot in a timely and dignified way like Zhai Jianguo.

In movies and TV, the kind of people who walk with their beards and flirt with horses usually have eyebrows and eyes, and their faces are rippling when they smile. But Zhai Jianguo was a handsome man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he praised Wei Baolin, his expression was very solemn, no matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be speaking from the heart.

At the very beginning, everyone really thought that Zhai Jianguo was Wei Baolin's brainless fan, and there was no respect for Wei Baolin's thoughts. Just endless nausea.

Maybe the authorities are confused, Wei Baolin has always been very receptive to Zhai Jianguo's praise, he nodded to Zhai Jianguo to show his satisfaction, and then continued:

Based on this consideration, Xiao Zhai and I have traveled north and south to more than a dozen cities in the past few weeks to investigate the local market. We found that with the implementation of the rural joint production contract responsibility system and the urban reform With the smooth implementation of the Internet of Things, the pockets of ordinary people are getting bigger and bigger, and the demand for household appliances is increasing day by day.

In Pujiang City, we saw that washing machines in shopping malls were snapped up as soon as they were put on sale, and even machines that failed during test runs were sold out. Customers told us that the broken machine can be repaired and reused after buying it back, but if you don’t buy it, you will have to wait several months for the goods to be available on the market.

As a result, we discovered a huge business opportunity, which is to enter the washing machine market and realize the most thorough strategic transformation in the history of our Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Wei Baolin waved his hand vigorously in the air, imagining that the participants below would applaud enthusiastically for a long time to celebrate the new birth of Qingfeng Factory. However, the scene he expected did not appear. Except for Zhai Jianguo and several other middle-level cadres who clapped their hands a few times, Xiang Jiyong and a large group of people gave indifferent reactions. It seems that what Wei Baolin said was a matter Things that have nothing to do with everyone.

Old Xiang, what do you think of the factory department's plan? Wei Baolin could only call names, and his first goal was to point to Xiang Jiyong, the production section chief.

Xiang Jiyong stood up and said, Factory Manager Wei has a long-term vision and strategizing, and the direction he chose is naturally very correct. I am the head of the production section, and what I care about is whether our factory can produce washing machines.

The first half of his speech praised Wei Baolin, but everyone could hear the irony in it. In the second half of the sentence, Wei Baolin's army is directly defeated. The washing machine is a good product, but can the agricultural machinery factory produce a washing machine?

For Xiang Jiyong's question, Wei Baolin was well prepared. He chose Ji Yong to come out to speak, also to draw out his own plan. Xiang Jiyong has quite a bit of prestige in the factory, and everyone knows that he is rigorous and trustworthy. If Xiang Jiyong can be persuaded, then Wei Baolin's plan to switch to washing machines can reduce a lot of resistance.

Old Xiang, I knew you would ask this question. Wei Baolin said proudly, pointing to Zhai Jianguo, and said, Xiao Zhai, please introduce what we have learned to Section Chief Xiang. As long as you listen to it, you can understand that we are not just talking about it on paper, let alone drawing cakes to satisfy our hunger, but have undergone sufficient scientific demonstration.

Okay. Zhai Jianguo stood up, spread out a notebook, and began to tell everyone:

Comrades, you have not been in-depth contact with the field of washing machines, and there may still be some mysteries about washing machines. In fact, washing machines are very simple household appliances, and their structure and technical requirements are even far lower than those we used to produce. Used water pumps, rice transplanters and other machinery.

In order to understand the production technology of washing machines, Director Wei led our research team to the Pearl River Delta to visit some township enterprises that produce washing machines. Listen clearly, it is a township enterprise, and it is a small township enterprise with only a dozen or dozens of employees.

In those enterprises, we saw with our own eyes how a washing machine was manufactured from the simplest production line. Our Qingfeng factory's financial strength, technical level, and worker quality are all a hundred times stronger than those of these township enterprises. Could it be that we can't manufacture products that they can manufacture?

However, how high can their output be? Can they meet the requirements of large-scale production? Xiang Jiyong is not a rookie, and he knows a little about production, so he immediately asked.

Zhai Jianguo said: Of course they can't meet the requirements of large-scale production, and this is precisely our strength. The meaning of the factory director is that we should seek bank loans, build two fully automatic production lines, produce famous brand washing machines, and occupy the market , to squeeze the products produced by small township factories out of the market.”

It's not easy to get a bank loan. Now when we ask the bank to borrow money to pay our wages, we even ask our parents to sue our grandmother, let alone borrowing money for investment. Yu Yongping, deputy chief of the finance department, reminded. Things like running a loan will definitely fall to the finance department in the end. He must first say the ugly things first, otherwise if the loan fails in the future, Wei Baolin will bring them to blame.

Wei Baolin waved his hand and said with great air: You don't have to worry about this matter, Lao Yu. After today's meeting, the factory will summarize everyone's opinions, form a plan, and submit it to the county. The county The county magistrate Guo Ming is very supportive of our plan and is going to the city to fight for us. If the city can show support for us, then the loan will not be a problem.”
