When will I have a long tassel?

"Lao Gao, Lao Nie said that we need to find a few people to talk to the city government on behalf of the workers. Will you go?"

In the Tengji gear workshop, worker Ning Daxi asked Gao Shuchun, who was working attentively in front of a milling machine.

The old Nie Ning Daxi was talking about was Nie Xianlun, deputy director of Tengji. Regarding the merger of Linyiji and Tengji, Nie Xianlun has always represented Tengji's "hawks". He has repeatedly said among the workers that it is not impossible for Linyiji to merge with Tengji, but both parties must negotiate the conditions. Tengji cannot become a subsidiary of Linyiji, and must have equal rights with Linyiji. status.

Nie Xianlun's views are quite popular among Tengji employees. Ning Daxi and Gao Shuchun were both his supporters. However, since news broke out more than half a year ago that Linyiji and Tengcun City Government had not negotiated terms, and that Linyiji's merger with Tengcun had fallen through, no one bothered to listen to Nie Xianlun discuss these views. After all, who wants to think about something unpleasant and said to be impossible all day long.

Just a few days ago, things suddenly changed 180 degrees. Kou Wenyou, director of the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, personally came to Tengji and announced at a meeting of middle-level cadres that the Tengcun Municipal Government had reached an agreement with Linyiji and would transfer 80% of the equity of Tengcun to Linyiji, making Linyiji Became the controlling shareholder of Tengji.

Kou Wenyou revealed at the meeting that Linyi Machinery stated that in order to better take over Tengji and ensure that Linyi Machinery’s business decisions can be implemented in Tengji, Linyi Machinery will reorganize Tengji after the merger agreement takes effect. The leadership team of the company was replaced by replacing most of the factory leaders and a considerable number of middle-level cadres.

Once the news came out, the whole factory was shocked. Everyone was talking about it, some were applauding, some were unhappy, and some claimed that they would stay out of this matter. For ordinary workers, they are not too worried about how their interests will be harmed. No matter who is the factory director, don’t they still have to work? But the middle-level cadres are different. This is obviously going to be taken away from their position. Who can be happy?

For such matters, the Economic and Trade Committee would have to inform the factory leaders in advance, so the factory leaders already knew the arrangements for themselves, and their attitudes were also different.

The merger of Linyiji and Tengji was originally promoted by factory director Zhou Heng. Of course, he strongly supported the matter and had no objections. In fact, he has reached the age of retirement. After completing the handover with Linyiji, he will return to the capital to retire. He will not care about the issue of his position.

Song Dazhuo, the executive deputy director of the factory, is the only one who retains his original position. If the opportunity arises to take over Tengji, it is impossible not to leave behind a factory leader who is familiar with the situation. Song Dazhuo had been working in Tengji for decades and was not very capable, but his character was recognized by both Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng, so he was retained.

As for the other factory leaders, the Economic and Trade Committee held talks one by one and gave them two options. One is to continue to stay in the factory, but no longer hold the original position, but to take up a casual position while retaining the salary; the other is to leave Tengji. , the Economic and Trade Commission will arrange to work in other enterprises.

The leaders of these factories had already anticipated this outcome and chose the former option. For example, Shi Ailin, the deputy director of the factory, chose to be the director of the Factory History Office and at the same time enjoy deputy factory-level treatment. In his opinion, it is better to stay in the factory and wait to die than to change to a strange company, grab someone else's position, and see others look down upon him. After Lin Yiji takes over Tengji, there should be a visible improvement in Tengji's operations. By then, the factory's benefits are expected to increase significantly. If you stay in the factory and enjoy the original benefits, you don't have to worry about working. What about enjoying it but not doing it?

The only person who said he could not accept this result was Nie Xianlun. Kou Wenyou personally talked to Nie Xianlun, but Nie Xianlun slammed the table in front of Kou Wenyou, claiming that he had sweated and bled for Tengji. Why is Tengcun City so worthless? The land sold itself.

Tengji was transferred from a ministry-affiliated enterprise to a municipal enterprise, and the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission became the supervisor of Tengji. But before that, Tengji was on the same level as Tengcun City. In comparison, Kou Wenyou's position was lower than Nie Xianlun. This is why Nie Xianlun dared to slap the table in front of Kou Wenyou.

Even with Nie Xianlun's opposition, the merger of Linyiji and Tengji will still go ahead. After Nie Xianlun finished talking with Kou Wenyou, he started to connect with each other in the factory, calling on cadres and workers to unite and put pressure on the Economic and Trade Commission.

"What does Lao Nie want us to talk about at the city hall?"

After hearing Ning Daxi's words, Gao Shuchun didn't even raise his head, and asked calmly while controlling the machine.

"Let's talk about the terms." Ning Daxi said, "The matter of Linyiji annexing our factory cannot be changed. But after the merger, we have to talk to them about the treatment of our workers first. Haven't you heard, Linyi The machine is going to replace all the middle-level cadres in the factory. Except for Lao Song, the rest of the factory leaders have also been replaced.

"In this way, in the future, it will be up to the person who is planning to take the opportunity to decide. If the time comes, they can find a way to deduct some wages from us, reduce some benefits, etc., and we will have no choice at all."

"So, what are we going to talk about?" Gao Shuchun asked.

"We need to finalize some things." Ning Daxi said, "For example, wages cannot be deducted casually, welfare benefits must be the same as those at Linyi Machinery, and production matters must be decided by the original people at Tengji Machinery. , it cannot be left to the people who come from Linyiji to have the final say.”

"It doesn't matter what others say, why should we be annexed?" Gao Shuchun asked.

Ning Daxi said: "They have taken a fancy to our technology. Some time ago, the batch of engraving and milling machines we produced for Linyi Machinery were said to be very popular on the market. Now Linyi Machinery has surpassed us. The purpose of Tengji's merger is to increase production in an all-round way. Linyi Machinery itself makes grinders and milling machines, but they are not efficient, so we have to let Tengji do the work."

"You mean, if they don't agree to our conditions, we won't build it for them?"

"Even if there is a slight delay, those southerners will probably become impatient. Old Nie said that now is the time for them to beg us. If we don't make an offer, we will have no chance in the future."

"I think it's Lao Nie who wants to be the director of the factory. He wants us to go and build momentum for him."

Gao Shuchun stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Ning Daxi, and said disdainfully:

"During this period, Linyiji rented our factory and hired people like us to work, but there was no ambiguity at all when paying the money. We are not Linyiji people now, and others don't do anything to us. Linyiji will do nothing to us in the future. Now that Jiji has become our owner, we are now Linyiji’s employees, why should they deduct our wages and benefits?”

Ning Daxi was a little surprised. He looked at Gao Shuchun and asked: "Why, Lao Gao, I remember that you couldn't stand the Lin Yiji gang in the past. But now that you think about it, are you rebelling?"

Gao Shuchun laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Why am I rebelling? I just found out how much I, Gao Shuchun, weigh. He said to me, he can't do anything but drive a milling machine. Before I give Linyi a machine to work, I want to give him a gift." My son can’t even raise the money to buy a piece of soy sauce meat, so what can I do to look down on him?

"In the past, I thought I was the ace miller of Tengji, and I was the best in the world. But now I realize that no one will give me a job, and my skills are just rubbish. Daxi, go to the street and see how many stalls are selling breakfast. , one look at the work clothes, you can tell that it's all the same old tricks, maybe he's a sixth- or seventh-level worker. What's the result? If the factory collapses, you'll be nothing.

"I can't stand those southerners in Linyiji who talk too much. But if they can give us work, as long as we are willing to put in the effort, they will be willing to give us money. In the past few months, I have spent every month The excess bonus is six to seven hundred yuan. Are they treating us badly?

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I've long been looking forward to taking over our factory in the next opportunity. At least I don't have to worry about it all the time, for fear that one day they won't want us anymore."

"It's impossible not to want us." Ning Daxi's voice was a little hollow, and he said: "It is of course a good thing to let Linyiji take over our factory, and I agree with it. However, what Lao Nie said makes sense. Now, let’s go negotiate some terms, maybe they will agree?”

Gao Shuchun said: "Whoever wants to go can go. If I have this time, I might as well do more work."

People who hold similar views to Gao Shuchun account for 70% to 80% of Tengji employees. Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng agreed on a warm-water frog strategy. They first let out the news that Linyiji could not acquire Tengji, and then asked Linyiji to rent Tengji factories and workers for production. During this process, employees began to gradually accept Linyiji's management model and realized that joining Linyiji was actually a very good thing.

During this period, of course, not everyone expressed dissatisfaction with Linyiji. For these people, the principle of handling Linyiji is "if you like to work, don't quit". Anyway, Linyiji only hires people to work temporarily and has no personnel relationship with these Tengji employees. If you think Linyiji's requirements are unacceptable, then don't do it. There are many people who want to work for Linyiji, and you are not the least of them.

People are rational, especially poor people...

Such things as willfulness are only reserved for the rich. As a poor person, if someone gives you work and pays you several times your original salary, what else can you be dissatisfied with? Even if you are stubborn and unwilling to give up for five buckets of rice, your wife and children are still willing to eat water pimples with you?

In addition to those who succumbed to the opportunity, there were also some people who had the mentality of following the crowd and not causing trouble, and also did not want to follow Nie Xianlun into trouble.

In the end, there were only a dozen or so employees who agreed to follow Nie Xianlun to negotiate with the city government. They were all the kind of people who had little skills and were worried that they would be marginalized after Lin Yiji took over. Some of these people also had some connections in the city. After asking someone to inquire about it, they found out that the city's attitude was very firm and there was no room for accommodation, and their courage suddenly lost a bit.

Seeing this situation, Nie Xianlun knew that the situation was over, so he could only accept the arrangement of the Economic and Trade Commission in despair and be transferred to an unpopular unit in Tengcun City.

Tengcun Machine Tool Factory finally fell into the hands of Linyiji like a ripe peach.
