Chapter 610: Who is not convinced
The building materials production line to carry out technical transformation in batches, Lao Zhu and others fully support this initiative to reduce production costs, the reason why everyone does not express their position, is mainly because Guan Yuntian appointed Song Qiang as the director of the technical transformation office is incomprehensible.
Song Qiang was just a workshop director before, and he was promoted to the leadership of the branch some time ago to be responsible for administrative management, in fact, it was an errand that some people did not want to do to offend people, in terms of qualifications, he was far worse than other members of the company's leadership team, so the other members of the team were very unconvinced.
The most sensitive to this appointment is Song Qiang, he is very self-aware, among the current team members of the branch, he is just a novice, so Song Qiang first shirked and said: "Mr. Guan, I am not qualified for this job, or please find someone else." ”
Guan Yuntian knew the mentality of Song Qiang, Lao Zhu and others, in order to avoid causing other members of the team to not hide it, Song Qiang must push it out, this is human nature, Guan Yuntian understands Song Qiang's intentions.
However, Guan Yuntian disagrees with the mentality of Lao Zhu and others, he has been a business for more than 20 years, what kind of person has not seen it? As far as Lao Zhu and others are concerned, Guan Yuntian can see very clearly, Kaiyuan Company has not made a large investment for at least ten years, and naturally there are no infrastructure projects and large-scale equipment procurement.
It's just that Guan Yuntian is so shrewd, he will not invest hundreds of millions of dollars in technical transformation projects in any case, and hand them over to a group of team members from former state-owned enterprises to manage, on the one hand, these people spend money lavishly, have no plans, never know thrift, budget overruns are normal to them, in addition, even if they spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, in the process of infrastructure and equipment procurement, Guan Yuntian believes that it is difficult for these people to be selfless.
Although they both know each other's thoughts, the two sides tacitly believe that Lao Zhu and others are noncommittal about this appointment, which is equivalent to a silent protest, but Guan Yuntian has made up his mind, he is the chairman of Changda Holdings, and this appointment is imperative!
In the face of Song Qiang's shirk, Guan Yuntian said non-negotiable: "This matter is so decided, technical transformation is a major event of the building materials branch for many years, and it must be responsible for the people who know it, and the specific plan for the technical transformation work will be agreed after the meeting." ”
In desperation, Lao Song had no choice but to take it on, "Mr. Guan, if I concurrently serve as the director of the Technical Transformation Office, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep myself busy." ”
"Didn't you set up an administrative office? There's no need for you to do everything yourself!
"Although there is an administrative office, there are no other members other than me. ”
"After doing it for a long time, it turns out that you are still a bare-duty commander! Didn't you ask you to transfer employees with a good reputation among the masses to assist you in your work?"
"During the period when the employees signed the labor employment contract, I seconded them to assist in the work, and after the task was completed, in order to streamline the organization, they returned to the grassroots level. ”
"Hey, of course, the organization should be streamlined, but there should be no shortage of management personnel! Otherwise, how can those rules and regulations and staff rules be supervised and enforced? I think so, you simply transfer them to the administrative office, as the management personnel of the organs, they are mainly responsible for administrative supervision, and in the next step you should focus on technological transformation. Guan Yuntian commanded.

"Do I have to juggle the administrative side of the work?"
"Of course! Don't forget, you are the administrative director of Changda Holding Building Materials Branch! Just like some time ago, they are just assisting you in your work, technical transformation is a temporary task, and administrative management is your own job. ”
This arrangement obviously put Lao Zhu and the others aside, but for the sake of the healthy development of the enterprise, Guan Yuntian can't take care of it so much, so he can only cut through the mess quickly, not to mention that the old members of the team are not so reassuring and do not have that ability.
Guan Yuntian asked Song Qiang to set up the technical transformation office as soon as possible, and any resources needed could be coordinated and deployed in the whole company, which was equivalent to giving Song Qiang a sword of Shangfang, and Song Qiang's current power was greater than Lao Zhu in some aspects.
Although he held great power, Song Qiang was cautious everywhere, he took the former chief engineer's office of Kaiyuan company as the support of the technical transformation office, fully respected the opinions of the technical personnel of the chief engineer's office, and asked them to prepare a technical transformation plan, and then submitted it to the new company for Guan Yuntian's reference. In addition, in the bidding process of infrastructure projects and equipment procurement, Song Qiang intends to hire several leaders of the branch leadership team as members of the bidding review team.
Guan Yuntian is pleased with Song Qiang's way of dealing with problems, although Song Qiang has the ability to work and has a good character, but as the chairman of Changda Holdings, Guan Yuntian still hopes that the leadership team of the building materials branch will unite as one, and do not stand by and tear each other down.
Song Qiang's series of measures undoubtedly have a positive effect on the leadership team of the branch to strengthen the regimental level and enhance understanding. After all, Lao Zhu and others hold the equity of Kaiyuan Company, and they themselves are shareholders of the new company, so they naturally hope that the company will be on the right track as soon as possible, and it is best to further develop and grow, as long as they are respected enough, Guan Yuntian believes that they will not become a stumbling block to all work.
Because of being snubbed, Lao Zhu and others dared to be angry with Guan Yuntian's decision from the bottom of their hearts, not only did their ideas not be put on the table, but Lao Zhu and others were all laymen, and they did not have the ability to preside over the technical transformation work, and they could only vent their grievances behind their backs.
When making technical transformation planning, Guan Yuntian's principle is that all operation processes should be automated as much as possible, and Song Qiang has different opinions on this, "Mr. Guan, I have communicated with the staff of the technical department, and they think that it is a bit unrealistic to engage in automated production in such an enterprise." ”
"Why? Automation is the development trend of modern industrial production, and it is also the only way, and what kind of enterprise does it have to do with it?" Guan Yuntian felt inexplicable.
"After communicating with them, I also think that the view of the technical department has some truth, first of all, a large number of automated production equipment, will inevitably cause a surplus of personnel, those workers who are replaced by automation equipment from the production position, how will it be arranged? Secondly, the equipment used in automated production is more sophisticated, and the maintenance of those equipment requires considerable technical force and maintenance technicians, but it is precisely this talent that is lacking here. Old Song said directly.
"Is there any other reason besides these two?"
"No, but these two points are not enough? Mr. Guan, I think that if these two problems are not solved well, it will be difficult to implement automated production. Song Qiang did not hide his opinion.
Although he does not agree with this statement, Guan Yuntian understands Song Qiang's point of view, after all

Prior to this, Song Qiang was only a workshop director, with a different position and limited vision, and the breadth of his consideration was naturally limited.
"There are two sides to everything, you only see the problems caused by automated production, but you turn a blind eye to the benefits brought by it, this kind of consideration is very incomplete!" Guan Yuntian said.
"Isn't it the benefit that Mr. Ye said about reducing labor costs and material consumption and stabilizing product quality?" said Lao Song indifferently.
In your words, isn't this enough? Lower production costs mean price advantage, coupled with stable product quality, and this is the key to winning in the market competition! Only by doing well enough in these two aspects can the building materials branch survive and develop. If according to your idea with the technical department, the investment in technological transformation cannot achieve the expected goal, but there is no need to worry about how to arrange redundant employees, but the product lacks competitiveness in the market, once it loses in the competition, I am afraid it is a matter of life and death! Which side do you think is more important than the two powers?
Lao Song felt the one-sidedness of his own considerations, "Mr. Guan, I lack a comprehensive thinking about such a major event, compared with the two, of course, product competitiveness and enterprise survival are more important." However, the surplus of workers caused by automated production is indeed a problem! At that time, some workers will face the crisis of being laid off or on vacation. ”
Including the lack of precision equipment maintenance personnel you mentioned earlier, it is a problem that cannot be ignored, but we must have the courage to face the problem, rather than avoid it. In other enterprises, when it comes to surplus workers, the way to deal with them is either to be laid off or to take vacations, and other than that, it seems that they cannot think of a third solution; in the face of the problem of lack of talent, it seems that they should stand still and do nothing, which is a way of thinking without enterprising spirit. In a new environment, that old concept should have changed!" Guan Yuntian usually doesn't talk about this kind of teaching.
"Mr. Guan, you know that we are in the original Kaiyuan company, the concept is generally conservative, we have not seen much of the world, and the way of thinking is also a little rigid, I hope you will advise more. I don't know how to deal with appeals in Changda Group?"
"I was about to talk to you about this issue, for more than 20 years, Changda Group has never let employees be laid off on vacation because of the use of advanced technology, there is a surplus of personnel. That's right, the degree of automation of the production process has improved, and some workers are bound to leave their original positions, but as enterprise managers, they have the responsibility to create new jobs for these employees, which is the responsibility of enterprise decision-makers! As for the lack of precision equipment maintenance personnel, it is better to do, nothing more than two solutions, one is to select the company's employees to study in the relevant units, and second, to recruit the required talents. ”
For Lao Song, Guan Yuntian's ideas did give him a refreshing feeling, the famous saying on the Internet that "poverty limits imagination" is very suitable for Lao Song, but he does not understand the responsibility of enterprise decision-makers, "Under the conditions of market economy, isn't it normal for employees to be laid off, and what does it have to do with the responsibility of managers?"
However, a truly mature market economy does not mean that it is free and irresponsible, but that it pays more attention to the spirit of contract, and once an employee and the company reach an employment agreement, it naturally forms a contract, which both parties should strive to abide by. ”
