Chapter Seventy-Seven: Competition

In the conference room, the leaders and middle-level cadres of the transportation company gathered together, and this time the main discussion was about the garment factory.

I saw Zhu Shicong open his mouth and say: "Since the beginning of this year, the garment factory has suffered serious losses, and the workers have not been able to pay their wages for three months. Comrade Wang Lan, the former director of the garment factory, is also going through the retirement procedures, so it is imperative to appoint a new director to the garment factory, so as to stabilize the overall situation. ”

"Mr. Zhu is reasonable, but the current garment factory is a mess, not to mention turning losses into profits, and it is a difficult problem to pay wages to workers, who should take over as the factory director?" asked Chairman Chen of the trade union.

Zhu Shicong immediately replied: "I have a candidate, Yang Peng, the section chief of our company's transportation hospital and logistics department, has outstanding ability and outstanding work performance, and I think he can be the director of the garment factory." ”

Hearing the name "Yang Peng", everyone felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, they realized that this is not Zhu Shicong's nephew!

Zhu Shicong looked at everyone and found that no one objected, after all, everyone knew that the garment factory was already a mess, and whoever took it over would be hot, and no one would compete with Zhu Shicong for such a mess. Zhu Shicong wants his cousin to be the director of this factory, so let him go!

However, Yu Zhengcheng coughed dryly and said: "In fact, in addition to appointing the factory director, we can also think of other ways to revitalize the garment factory." ”

"What is Secretary Yu's opinion?" asked Chairman Chen of the trade union immediately.

"Now the state is not advocating reform, we should also respond to the call of the state, I think, we can try to contract out the garment factory. Yu Zhengcheng replied.

"Contracting?" everyone was taken aback, and everyone didn't expect that Yu Zhengcheng, who has always acted steadily, would say the word "contracting".

Yu Zhengcheng, who retired in two years, is indeed a very conservative leader, such as the previous consignment sales, Yu Zhengcheng is against it, and he is unwilling to take policy risks.

But now it is necessary to solve the jobs of the 400 workers of the garment factory, and Yu Zhengcheng still shows a decisive side.

I saw Yu Zhengcheng take out a document and said, "Comrade Li Weidong of the freight department, proposed to the company a set of plans for contracting garment factories, I think it is feasible, you may wish to circulate it and discuss it." ”

Yu Zhengcheng said, and took the lead in handing the document to Zhu Shicong.

"Why is this Li Weidong coming out to stir up the situation again!" Zhu Shicong took the document with some reluctance.

Several leaders quickly read the document, but no one expressed their position. After all, the garment factory is a mess, since there is no need to compete with Zhu Shicong for a mess, there is no need to get along with Yu Zhengcheng for the same mess.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhu Shicong had no choice but to speak: "Secretary Yu, we are a state-owned enterprise, although the garment factory is a tertiary industry, if it can be contracted to an individual, it will not become a private one!"

"It cannot be said that the rural areas have been engaged in land contracting for so many years, and the land is not the same as that of the state? ”

Yu Zhengcheng paused, and then said: "What's more, it is not contracted to outsiders, but contracted to Li Weidong, who is a cadre of our company! ”

"Since contracting is similar to directly sending a factory director, it is better to directly send a cadre to be the factory director, and it saves a lot of trouble. Zhu Shicong retorted.

"After all, there is a difference. Yu Zhengcheng pointed to the contracting plan, and then said: "Li Weidong promised that after he contracted the garment factory, he would not only bear the wages of the garment factory workers, but also pay 20,000 yuan of profits to the company every year. Let's just send a factory director over, can we do this?"

"What ...... this" is a topic that Zhu Shicong can't answer, he also knows that the garment factory is a mess, no matter who becomes the factory director, it is difficult to guarantee the wages of workers, not to mention the profit of 20,000 yuan a year.

Zhu Shicong pondered for a few seconds, and finally spoke: "The current situation of the garment factory is very difficult, it is already very good to be able to earn the wages of the workers, and it is necessary to hand over 20,000 yuan of profits every year, I am afraid that this is not a satellite!"

Yu Zhengcheng smiled slightly, and said: "I may not believe what others say, but Li Weidong, I think he has this ability, what do you think?"

Li Weidong's performance in the past two years is too dazzling, 250 tires, or 15 Yellow River heavy trucks, which are all things that others can't do, but Li Weidong can do it with strength, which is a manifestation of ability in itself.

And what really makes the transportation company recognize Li Weidong from top to bottom is the plan of "shipping on behalf of sales", which brings hundreds of thousands of additional profits to the transportation company every month, and on this alone, no one will question Li Weidong's ability.

Li Weidong has been in a state-owned enterprise for the past two years, and he is not in vain, at least he has the capital to do business, and the accumulation of some connections has also made others recognize his ability. This can be regarded as a single dog from the beginning, and he has come out of a set of god costumes.

Zhu Shicong knew that if he talked about ability, his cousin Yang Peng would definitely be inferior to Li Weidong, not to mention that Li Weidong also offered a bait of 20,000 yuan a year in order to contract a garment factory. If Li Weidong and Yang Peng are compared on the table, Yang Peng will definitely be defeated.

However, Zhu Shicong did not intend to admit defeat, he thought for a while, and then said: "In this case, I agree in principle to let our company's comrades contract the garment factory." But who should be the contractor, do we have to discuss it again?"

Yu Zhengcheng glanced at Zhu Shicong and asked, "Comrade Shicong, apart from Li Weidong, is there anyone else who wants to contract the garment factory?"

"Of course. Zhu Shicong nodded: "Comrade Yang Peng, whom I just mentioned, also has the willingness to contract garment factories, and the reason why he did not take the initiative is that he is worried that the company will not allow employees to contract garment factories. ”

"Oh, then apart from Li Weidong and Yang Peng, who else wants to contract the garment factory?" Yu Zhengcheng looked at everyone.

Everyone was silent, watching the company's first- and second-in-command fighting.

Yu Zhengcheng continued: "From this point of view, the candidate for contracting the garment factory must choose one of the two comrades, Li Weidong and Yang Peng. I think since it's a choice, you should choose the best. Comrade Li Weidong's contracting plan, you have all seen it, don't you know Comrade Yang Peng's contracting plan, and he plans to hand over tens of thousands of profits to the company every year?"

Yu Zhengcheng said, deliberately looking at Zhu Shicong.

"Turn over your size!" Zhu Shicong cursed in his heart.

Zhu Shicong knows very well that if Yang Peng is contracted, let alone hand over profits, I am afraid that even the salary will not be paid in full. If you really choose the best, the garment factory must be Li Weidong's.

Zhu Shicong is an old fritter after all, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately thought about it.

I saw Zhu Shicong cough dryly, and said: "Secretary Yu, I think, it is too hasty for us to have a meeting here, and then decide on the candidates for contracting the garment factory."

After all, there are 400 employees in the garment factory, and who will contract the garment factory is related to the livelihood of these 400 workers, so I think that the workers of the garment factory should choose who will contract the garment factory. The people selected in this way are in line with the wishes of the employees, and can better reflect the fine tradition of our company's employee-oriented. ”

"Let the employees choose for themselves?" Yu Zhengcheng frowned, this is definitely a very stupid suggestion.

Modern enterprises rely on elections to determine the helmsman! Among the world's top 500 companies, which company is elected by its employees?

Of course, enterprise managers are capable people, and bringing democratic elections to enterprise management and letting employees choose their own leaders is to think that the enterprise is not dying fast enough.

However, in state-owned enterprises, it is worth advocating that employees play a sense of ownership, and it is a correct thing for state-owned enterprises to engage in democratic construction.

For example, it is a necessary thing for state-owned enterprises to elect a group of employee representatives every year to participate in the workers' congress and participate in the major decision-making of the enterprise.

In companies such as Wal-Mart, Amazon, Apple, and Samsung, how can there be such a thing as a workers' congress, and if there are any major decisions, the board of directors and management will say, and employees will not even have the opportunity to be "represented". Yet these companies are capable of becoming the best in the world.

So when Zhu Shicong proposed to let the garment factory workers choose their own contractors, although Yu Zhengcheng secretly scolded nonsense in his heart, he couldn't refute it.

Zhu Shicong continued to increase: "Regarding the contracting of state-owned enterprises, although there is no prohibition in terms of policy, there is no clear basis. We let the employees of the garment factory choose the contractor, and we can also avoid the risk of policy!"

Zhu Shicong's words reached everyone's hearts. For such things that are not clear about the policy, including Yu Zhengcheng, everyone is unwilling to take responsibility.

Let the garment factory workers choose their own contractors, and if something goes wrong, it is also the choice of the garment factory workers themselves, and the leadership of the transportation company can shirk most of the responsibility.

When it came to taking responsibility, the leadership team of the transportation company instantly stood on Zhu Shicong's side, and everyone supported it, allowing the employees of the garment factory to choose their own contractors.

The first case of state-owned enterprise contracting in China occurred in 1984, which caused a lot of controversy at the time. Reform and opening up is in a period of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the state is also in a cautious wait-and-see approach to contracting state-owned enterprises, and does not advocate or stop it.

It was not until 1985 that Xinhua News Agency published an article affirming the first case of state-owned enterprise contracting, and the contracting of state-owned enterprises gradually began to be recognized.

In 1988, the state promulgated the "Interim Regulations on the Responsibility System for Contracting Operations of Industrial Enterprises Owned by the Whole People", which provided a clear policy basis for contracting state-owned enterprises.

In 1986, although the state had begun to implement various forms of business contract responsibility system, giving operators full operational autonomy. But after all, there is no policy basis in black and white, and many leaders of state-owned enterprises are also very cautious about contracting.

......

Yu Zhengcheng called Li Weidong to the office and gave a general explanation of the meeting.

"So, I have one more competitor?" asked Li Weidong with a surprised expression.

In Li Weidong's view, no one should be willing to take over the mess of the garment factory, but he didn't expect that there would be people fighting with him, which is really not a hot potato.

"It's the logistics chief of the company's hospital, named Yang Peng, and he seems to be Zhu Shicong's nephew. Yu Zhengcheng replied.

"Yang Peng, this name is a little familiar!" Li Weidong thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that at this point in his previous life, it was Yang Peng who was sent to be the director of the garment factory.

Yang Peng served as the director of the garment factory for two years, but instead of bringing the garment factory back to life, he completely collapsed the garment factory, and finally even sold the sewing machine as scrap metal.

When the garment factory collapsed, Yu Zhengcheng had retired, Zhu Shicong became the company's leader, and Wang Haibin of the procurement department also entered the leadership of the transportation company, and Yang Peng took over Wang Haibin and became the new director of the procurement department, which is equivalent to a high promotion.

Similar situations are not uncommon in the wave of SOE failures. When an enterprise fails, leading cadres can be transferred to another position and continue to be leaders in another place, and the workers can only be laid off.

Yu Zhengcheng continued: "In a few days, the company will hold a voting meeting, all the employees of the garment factory will participate, and then you and Yang Peng will first come to the stage to talk about their respective contracting plans, and then let the garment factory employees vote on the spot and sing votes on the spot." ”

"Isn't it foolish to talk about the contracting plan?" Li Weidong smiled.

As an old fritter who has been crawling in the mall for more than 20 years, will he still be "flickering"!

......

At the same time, in Zhu Shicong's office, Yang Peng was also called.

"Cousin, didn't you say that you would send me directly to be the factory director?"

Zhu Shicong snorted coldly: "If you don't change it to contracting, how can you have the opportunity to go to a garment factory to be a factory director!"

"That Li Weidong, I've heard of it, but he is a capable person! If he votes, the garment factory workers will definitely vote for him, and besides, I don't have any contracting plan to talk about, and the factory director has nothing to do with me. Yang Peng said with a frustrated face.

"You're stupid, won't you think of a way?" Zhu Shicong said.

"Cousin, what can be done?" Yang Peng asked very dryly.

"Do you think that if you are asked to come to the stage to talk about the contracting plan, you are really talking about the contracting plan? That is to let you fool the workers of those garment factories and vote for you. Will you fool or not? Will you brag or not? Will you always draw a big pie? Give a promise to the garment factory workers first, and when they are selected, it doesn't matter whether they can fulfill it or not. Zhu Shicong replied.

"Cousin, how should I draw this big cake?" asked Yang Peng with a look of rotten wood.

"With your brain, stupid like this, how did you think of going to a garment factory to be a factory director so that you could be promoted?" Zhu Shicong asked puzzled.

"My mom taught me. Yang Peng replied honestly.

As soon as he heard that his cousin had an idea behind his back, Zhu Shicong sighed helplessly, and he had to say patiently: "Isn't there no business in the garment factory now, and on the day of the vote, you will say that you have won a lot of orders, so that everyone can have a job to do and a salary to pay, and then they will all vote for you!"

But you can't just rely on your mouth, so let's do it, I asked Wang Haibin of the procurement office to purchase a batch of tooling in advance, and when the time comes, you can take the purchase order and brag about it.

In addition, you can also go to the garment factory, find a few trustees, choose those who are old and senior, give them some benefits, and let them help you say good things on the spot on the day of voting. You must know that most ordinary workers are not assertive, and if someone says hello, others will vote for you. ”
