Chapter 8: Gathering Crowds to Petition
Originally, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) asked state-owned enterprises to reduce their burdens, give prominence to their main businesses, and separate their non-main businesses to set up specialized industrial companies. In this way, the main business can be listed in the international capital market and become a listed joint-stock company.
The securities market evaluates whether the basic structure of a listed company is excellent or not, and whether the company's main business highlights the market competitiveness, and the most important thing for an industrial company separated from its main business is to solve the problem of resettlement and management of personnel who have withdrawn from its main business, and to keep the welfare of employees basically unchanged.
Qin Zhigang said to Tang Wenzhe. "In the past two years, the overall operation of the industrial company has not been good, we have given them a lot of subsidies and support policies for personnel placement, but the effect is not obvious, and the opinions of employees are very large, this problem can not be delayed any longer, you see?"
Tang Wenzhe has done some special research and investigation on the problems existing in the industrial company, and has put forward some unique opinions and suggestions at several meetings of the company to discuss industrial issues, and Qin Zhigang has adopted them, and feels that Tang Wenzhe has seen the problems of the industry more thoroughly, so he is eager to listen to Tang Wenzhe's opinions.
"I think the main problem is still in the leadership of the industrial company, can not effectively organize the normal production and operation management, the lack of innovation ability, the industrial restructuring technology content is not high, the lack of long-term development momentum, the business and the market are seriously out of touch, the staff has no cohesion, resulting in industrial cadres and workers are disheartened, and the masses have great opinions. β
"Yes, I agree with you, the problem is still with the leadership team. Qin Zhigang slammed the notebook on the table and said.
"However, this problem has been around for a long time, and the intensity of adjustment in the short term should not be too large, otherwise it will be counterproductive and cause chaos in people's hearts, and it will be even more difficult to clean up. Adjustments are necessary, but they are implemented step by step. Tang Wenzhe said and opened the notebook.
"Well, it's good to have this consideration, you can tell me about the specific adjustment plan. Qin Zhigang asked.
Suddenly, an urgent knock sounded, Qin Zhigang got up impatiently and walked towards the door, and after opening the door, he saw Qiu Zhuodong step in and said: "Mr. Qin, something happened, someone made trouble at the gate of the company, saying that he wanted to see you, and now he was stopped by the security guard outside the gate of the company." β
"What's the matter, panic, how many people are coming. Qin Zhigang reprimanded angrily, and Secretary Liang Xiaohui and Director Du Guoxing of the Security Department followed closely behind Qiu Zhuodong and stood outside the door.
"There were more than 100 people outside, blocking the entire road, and the traffic police were driving to clear the traffic order, and some people were waving banners. β
"Messing around with banners, what is written on the banner. Qin Zhigang knew that the situation was not good, and asked.
"When I went down to persuade the crowd, the crowd was very emotional, and the banner said, 'Punish corruption, return my job, I want... To live,'" Qiu Zhuodong stammered.
"Damn, is this a rebellion?" Qin Zhigang said angrily.
"Mr. Qin, you dissipate your anger, or I'll go down and solve it, the 'adjustment plan' I just said, I have already sent it to your mailbox in the morning, you have time to review it. Tang Wenzhe said.
"Okay, Manager Tang, let's deal with it, don't intensify the contradictions, pay attention to a good sense of proportion, but don't let it go, and resolutely stop serious illegal behaviors. Qin Zhigang said.
"Well, Mr. Qin, don't worry, I'll deal with it immediately. Tang Wenzhe said to Liang Xiaohui, who was standing outside the door: "Xiaoliang, you call the leaders of the industrial company to send someone to pick up people." β
Tang Wenzhe said to the company's security director standing at the door: "Director Du, you go and send a few additional security personnel to assist in the evacuation of traffic, don't affect the traffic on the road in front of the door, and don't take coercive measures against the masses." β
Tang Wenzhe patted Qiu Zhuodong on the shoulder and quickly walked out of Qin Zhigang's office.
There were many people standing at the gate of the company and on Tianjin Road, and Tang Wenzhe's appearance immediately caused a commotion in the crowd, and someone in the crowd shouted: "Look, look." There is a big leader of the company, why didn't the general manager come out! This is not good, everyone said yes or no!"
Now the time is less than 10 o'clock, just after the morning rush hour at work, there are still a lot of onlookers on the road, many people shouting in unison are wearing blue work clothes printed with the logo of the communication cable factory, from the age point of view, they should be the on-the-job workers of the communication cable factory under the industrial company.
Tang Wenzhe is still familiar with the situation of the communication cable factory, Tang Wenzhe is one of the main decision-makers in the adjustment of the management leadership of the cable factory company, and has also been to the factory many times to investigate and hold meetings, and the main cadres in the factory or workshop are still very familiar.
Tang Wenzhe quickly glanced at the crowd, and saw that Zhang Wenqiang, the director of the workshop, was behind, Tang Wenzhe quickly squeezed through the crowd and greeted Zhang Wenqiang, held Zhang Wenqiang's hand and said, "Director Zhang, why are you here, can you sit down and discuss anything?"
"I'm sorry, Director Tang, it's really... Really, everyone has something in their hearts and wants to say to the company leaders, and we'll...," Zhang Wenqiang replied nervously with guilt.
"That's it, let's go in and talk when you come, everyone goes in, it's not safe to stand on the road, let's go!" Tang Wenzhe took Zhang Wenqiang's hand and walked towards the gate of the company.
Although Tang Wenzhe is not a member of the company's leadership team, due to the special identity of the personnel manager in the company, there is still a great degree of awareness within the company, grassroots leaders and employees still recognize Tang Wenzhe, some grassroots employees may not have seen, but hearsay about the company's personnel manager Tang Wenzhe still has a little understanding, heard the workshop director call him Manager Tang, watching the two of them shake hands and walk forward together, they also know what is going on, everyone followed into the company's gate, and the road immediately resumed normal traffic.
On the second floor of the company's headquarters is the staff canteen on one side, and a large conference room on the other.
Tian Haiying, the foreman of the company restaurant on the second floor, heard the noisy sound of the staff and walked to the staircase, only to see Tang Wenzhe leading a large group of people up the stairs.
Tang Wenzhe passed by Tian Haiying's side and whispered a few words in his ear, and then brought the crowd into the conference room and arranged for everyone to be seated.
Tang Wenzhe pulled Zhang Wenqiang to sit on the rostrum in front, Du Guoxing, director of the Security Department, sat on Tang Wenzhe's right, and Tang Wenzhe asked Zhang Wenqiang to sit on his left.
After everyone took their seats, Tang Wenzhe said: "Comrades of the workers of the cable factory, I am Tang Wenzhe, the manager of the personnel department of the company, entrusted by General Manager Qin Zhigang to meet with you. Tang Wenzhe turned his head and communicated with Zhang Wenqiang, and said, "Why don't you ask Zhang Wenqiang, the director of the workshop, to shake the situation first." β
In social interactions, the tone of speech between people is very important, and the appropriate tone can adjust the atmosphere of speech. The choice of words in the speech is even more important, and sometimes the wrong word in the officialdom speech may directly confuse one thing. Tang Wenzhe's use of the word 'shaking' here is the most appropriate.
When dealing with emergencies, you must grasp the tone and words of your speech, if you use the word 'report' at this time, the masses will feel that your leader is high and sounds uncomfortable. If you use the word 'say', it is a bit of a commanding tone. The word 'shake' appropriately brings the relationship between each other closer, just like friends are talking, everything is in a relaxed atmosphere.
The effect of the word 'shake' had an immediate effect, and Zhang Wenqiang, the workshop director who was originally sitting on the rostrum in a nervous mood, suddenly relaxed.
This 'shake' is a bit like brothers helping each other, when you don't have enough money, I 'shake' the money in my pocket and stuff it into your hands.
Zhang Wenqiang has never sat on the same rostrum with a leader like Tang Wenzhe, seeing Tang Wenzhe's sincere smiling face, Zhang Wenqiang cleared his throat and said: "Manager Tang, I know that you are a good leader, everyone can trust you, we are a little ... It's a little wrong!"
"Hey, Director Zhang, this matter has passed, if you want to say that something is wrong, I have to review it first, I didn't arrange the affairs of your communication cable factory workers, which caused everyone's worries, you can just 'shake' out what everyone wants to say." β
Zhang Wenqiang sat up straight and said, "Okay, since Manager Tang asked me to speak, I will say a few words on behalf of everyone, and if you have any additional comments, you can interrupt me in time." β
"Manager Tang, our communication cable factory is also a 30-year-old factory, for the national communications construction has also had a glorious historical contribution, now said to transform and develop, our old comrades are more than 50 years old, the family is old and young, the company said not to us, where do we go, look at the company's officials every day to eat and drink, a meal to eat thousands of yuan, and our monthly salary is less than 2,000 yuan, but also to support a family, our appeal is very simple, return my work, I want to live. β
The employees under the rostrum shouted together: "Give me back my work, I want to live."
Tang Wenzhe motioned for everyone to be quiet and said: "Comrades, I am very sympathetic and understanding of everyone's feelings, but we also have to consider it, now the enterprise does encounter a lot of practical difficulties, and now the communication cable market is increasingly cringing, and the backbone cables are all replaced by optical cables, that is, the last kilometer of the user's home cable, which will eventually be replaced by optical fiber access, although I am not a professional and technical personnel, but the development trend of this market is still clearly there, not that we can influence, this is the law of the market. β
The audience was silent, and the workers also understood this matter, the business orders were getting fewer and fewer, some old customers were gradually disappearing, and the company was already in a business situation where it was beyond its means.
In the face of this situation, the company's leaders are still trying to solve it by all means. When Tang Wenzhe said this, he saw the door of the conference room open, Qiu Zhuodong led Wang Haijie, deputy general manager of the industrial company, and Wang Mingxia, deputy general manager of the communication cable factory, into the door, and Tang Wenzhe motioned them to sit down in the back row of the venue.
Wang Haijie is 35 years old, with a white and slender face, wearing black-framed glasses, wearing a simple suit with a navy blue tie and a gold tie clip, which looks a bit white-collar and a little nostalgic, with a little immature appearance on his face.
Wang Mingxia is a graduate student of the School of Management of Jiaotong University, and is also the company's third echelon of key training cadres, Tang Wenzhe is also in the company's management intentionally recommended Wang Mingxia to the communication cable factory with relatively difficult working conditions to exercise, she is currently the deputy general manager of the communication cable factory, has been working in the factory for more than two years, the masses reflect very positively, Tang Wenzhe also feels very gratified, at least in the training of young cadres, Tang Wenzhe can do the correct selection and employment, formed a set of his own unique cadre appointment ideas, and has been positively evaluated by the leadership and the massesγ
Wang Mingxia was dressed plainly, a set of blue communication cable factory work clothes were the same as those worn by the workers, with a round face and shoulder-length short hair, but her demeanor looked very capable.
Tang Wenzhe continued: "The leaders of the industrial company have also come to the company's headquarters many times to study and solve the problem of business transformation of the communication cable factory with various departments, and General Manager Qin Zhigang has also listened to the report of the leaders of the industrial company on the business transformation plan of the communication cable factory for many times, and held a special meeting to solve the practical difficulties of the employees of the communication cable factory, and gave a certain compensation policy.
But now it is a market economy, and the plan we put forward should be tested by the market, and most of the employees of the communication cable factory should be recognized, and we need to be given a certain amount of time to solve the problem. β
The workers in the audience were talking about it, and Wang Mingxia, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't sit still, and stood up to beckon everyone to be quiet. Tang Wenzhe motioned for him to sit down with his hand and continued: "I also know that everyone has reported that the company's leaders have such and such problems, some workers have written letters from the people to reflect the situation, and some have gone to the Beijing Group to complain. β
Tang Wenzhe said: "But the most urgent problem now is to solve the development problem of the communication cable factory and the people's livelihood, which is the problem we most urgently need to solve." β
The audience looked at Tang Wenzhe on the stage with silent eyes, Tang Wenzhe did not interrupt his speech, and continued: "Some time ago, I and the leaders of the company's relevant business departments and industrial companies were studying the way out of the communication cable factory, and we came to the consensus that we should carry out business transformation, find the market entry point for sustainable development, and never simply push everyone to the society, so that everyone can be laid off and go home. The cadres and employees of the cable factory in the period of great development of communications, have made significant contributions to the development of the country's communications industry and enterprises, we are mindful, we must not disappoint everyone's hopes, in the future enterprise transformation, we will never let an employee fall behind, so that everyone has work to do, everyone to eat, there are difficulties for everyone to file, to be a dignified national communications builder. β
The audience suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers, some old workers left tears, and Wang Mingxia sat in the back row and listened to it excitedly. She has always had a good impression of Tang Wenzhe, and she admires Tang Wenzhe the most among the cadres of the company, not only has strong management ability, but can take responsibility at many critical moments. Moreover, Tang Wenzhe is steady and pragmatic, and humble to others, which has won the recognition of most cadres and employees. At the same time, Tang Wenzhe's handsome appearance and outstanding ability have always been the male god in women's hearts, and Wang Mingxia is also a heavyweight fan of Tang Wenzhe.
Tang Wenzhe motioned for everyone to be quiet and said: " Specifically, I have taken the lead in negotiating and studying with various departments of the company many times, and has initially formed a package of solutions to solve the business development of the communication cable factory, which has been in the hands of general manager Qin Zhigang, and will open the general manager of the company tomorrow morning to discuss, out of organizational principles, I am inconvenient to disclose here, I hope you understand, but I can guarantee that this program must be beneficial to every employee of the communication cable factory, the development of the communication cable factory, and the long-term interests of Jianghai Schindler Communication Company is beneficial. β
'Three advantages' said the hearts of the workers in the audience, and the audience erupted in a round of warm applause.
Suddenly, someone in the audience asked, "Leader, when will the problem be solved, there must be a timetable." β
"Yes, when will the problem be solved?" said the audience.
Tang Wenzhe continued: "Solving the problem of the communication cable factory has been delayed for too long, we can no longer miss the opportunity for development, tomorrow morning the office meeting passed, I will be with the company's relevant business departments and industrial company leaders, in the afternoon to go to your factory to announce the plan to you, listen to your opinions." β
"Okay!" When the workers on the stage heard this, they knew that the communication cable factory had been saved and their interests were protected, so they all stood up excitedly and applauded warmly.
Tang Wenzhe saw that the door of the conference room behind him was pushed open, Tian Haiying was wearing white work clothes in the canteen and a white chef's hat, stretched out his hand and made an OK gesture to Tang Wenzhe on the stage, and flashed out.
Tang Wenzhe turned around and asked Zhang Wenqiang, the workshop director sitting next to him, and Du Guoxing, the director of the security department, if they had anything to say, they waved their hands, Tang Wenzhe said: "That's it today," we will see you in the factory tomorrow afternoon, please your vice president Wang Mingxia arranged for a few employee representatives to sit down together to discuss and implement the transformation plan of the communication cable factory, it is almost time to eat, I have asked the staff restaurant to arrange the problem of everyone eating, please go directly to the opposite staff canteen to eat, and the meeting will be dismissed. β
