Chapter 53: Return to the Rightful Owner

"I'm back, I heard that you are very beautiful in Mingzhou, and you have brought down an old factory director who has been working for more than ten years!"

In the office of the vice minister of the Ministry of Coal, Meng Fanze sat on the big sofa and teased Feng Xiaochen, who had just returned from Tangfu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After Li Huidong went back, he made a long phone call to Meng Fanze, praising the total quality management plan of Xinmin Factory led by Feng Xiaochen, and by the way, he also said about He Yongxin and Xu Xinkun.

"It's none of my business. Feng Xiaochen pretended to cry out for grievances, "In fact, our original intention was not to bring down the director He, but just to use the power of the provincial department to force Director He to accept our total quality management plan and promote management reform in Xinmin Factory." Who knows that not only is he unwilling to accept it, but he also wants to use this opportunity to pull down the secretary who is interested in reform, and in the end it can only be such a result. This result, in fact, was also beyond our expectations. ”

Feng Xiaochen's words are not false, when he first discussed with Xu Xinkun, he just wanted to set up a bureau to put He Yongxin in, and when the provincial department approved the plan and asked for it to be implemented in Xinmin Factory, He Yongxin had nothing to say and could only do it. Who would have thought that He Yongxin's attitude was so stubborn, and he finally ended up being sent to study at the School of Administration.

"Yes, if we want to learn from the advanced technology and advanced management experience of the West, there will inevitably be some veteran comrades who will not be able to keep up, or will not be willing to keep up. The central authorities' proposal that the contingent of cadres should be younger and more knowledgeable is also aimed at such a situation. Some veteran comrades have made a lot of contributions in the past construction, and they have made meritorious contributions as well as hard work, but if they lie on their laurels and eat their old books, they will inevitably be abandoned by the trend of the times, and this is the law of nature. ”

Meng Fanze said in a heavy tone. He didn't know He Yongxin, but he had been in contact with some corporate cadres of the same age, and he also had a deep relationship with them.

Feng Xiaochen didn't know how to answer. He knew that the entire 80s would be an era of fierce collision of various ideas in China, and many people would stand out in this wave of torrents, and many people would be eliminated, and He Yongxin was just the first one he saw. In front of Meng Fanze, it was inconvenient for him to gossip about these older generation of business leaders, so he could only choose to remain silent.

Meng Fanze saw Feng Xiaochen's thoughts, he smiled, changed the topic, and said: "Your work in Xinmin Factory, Director Li of the Mingzhou Machinery Department reported something to me, but he didn't understand enough on the phone, now that you are back, tell me in detail, how did you do it." ”

When Feng Xiaochen returned to the capital, he first came to the Ministry of Coal to meet Meng Fanze, also with the idea of debriefing. Hearing Meng Fanze ask, he told him what he had done in Xinmin Factory from beginning to end. He not only said how he inspected Xinmin Factory, but also emphasized that Xinmin Factory has a group of capable and responsible technicians and ordinary workers such as Yu Chun'an and He Guihua, pointing out that the existence of these people is a solid foundation for carrying out total quality management.

At the same time, he also presented a copy of the manual they had compiled at the Xinmin Factory to Meng Fanze. Meng Fanze took the manual, carefully flipped through a part, nodded lightly, and said: "It is well written, it not only reflects the modern management thinking, but also can be combined with the practice of the enterprise, and there is no such problem as not eating foreign." Xiao Feng, it seems that I am not wrong. ”

"Minister Meng has won the award. Feng Xiaochen said modestly, "Actually, this information is the collective wisdom of our QC team, and the specific part that is combined with Xinmin Factory is the contribution of Section Chief Yu and Master He I just mentioned, and what I have done is very limited." ”

"If this plan of Xinmin Factory is to be fully implemented, implemented, and then able to see some results, how long do you estimate it will take?" Meng Fanze asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "At least for more than half a year." The establishment of a set of systems requires the adaptation of the entire system, especially all personnel in the system, and this run-in period is relatively long. There are some young workers in Xinmin Factory, whose technical level is completely out of line and requires surprise training, which also requires a certain period. Before I left Xinmin Factory, I discussed with Secretary Xu and Section Chief Yu that it would take more than half a year for the entire quality management system of Xinmin Factory to mature. ”

"Half a year ......" Meng Fanze frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Minister Meng, are you too anxious? It is already very fast to be able to complete the construction and run-in of an enterprise's quality management system in half a year. This means that our requirements are not strict enough, and if we are stricter, it is normal to spend a year or two. ”

"I understand. Meng Fanze said, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and added: "Actually, I also understand this truth, but at my age, it is inevitable that I will be a little impatient, and my age is not forgiving." ”

"Haha, Minister Meng laughed. Feng Xiaochen said complimentingly, "Seeing that Minister Meng's body is still very tough, I estimate that you will have no problem working for another 20 years." ”

Meng Fanze also smiled: "Thank you for your blessings, however, it is impossible for me to do it for another 20 years." The policy of the Central Committee has been decided, and veteran comrades like me should gradually take a back seat and let younger comrades come up. The amount of time I've been able to work in this position is already measured in days. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I was still in my position to build up the typical model of Xinmin Factory and promote the experience, but now it seems that it is not realistic. I won't do this kind of thing. ”

Feng Xiaochen knew that what Meng Fanze said was true, and in the next few years, there would be a large-scale situation in which veteran cadres would take a back seat. He smiled and said to Meng Fanze: "I think that maybe you are not in this position, but it is more conducive to promoting this experience." ”

"Why?" Meng Fanze asked in surprise.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Minister Meng, in Western countries, management consulting is a big industry. If I put this set of work for Xinmin Factory in a market economy country, I would at least charge tens of thousands of dollars in consulting fees, how can it be like now, I not only have to work, but also have to bring my own dry food. ”

"Haha, I heard that Xinmin Factory has treated you well, I found that you have been gone for half a month, and everyone has gained weight. Meng Fanze revealed with a smile.

"Uh-uh, that's right. Feng Xiaochen hurriedly changed his words. Meng Fanze couldn't understand the stalk of bringing dry food, and Feng Xiaochen couldn't explain it to him, so he could only continue: "I think we can set up a special consulting agency to provide total quality management consulting services for enterprises for a fee." If you take a back seat, you can be the head of this consulting agency, wouldn't that be more conducive to the promotion of experience?"

"I just praised you twice, and I started talking nonsense again. Meng Fanze pretended to be annoyed and said, "Just to guide enterprises on how to do a good job in total quality management, you still want to engage in paid services, isn't this falling into the eyes of money? How can this kind of exchange of experience be turned into a commercial activity?"

"Minister Meng, I don't agree with your point of view. Feng Xiaochen raised the bar again to Meng Fanze, and he said: "Experience is also a kind of wealth, and it is a wealth that is more valuable than tangible products. Our mistake in the past is that we don't respect the value of knowledge, which makes people reluctant to develop and impart knowledge.

If you can't charge to help other companies do management consulting, then who wants to do it? Even if you can ask the company to do it with an executive order, will the company send the best experts, will these experts work hard, will they work hard to improve their own business? This is a question mark. ”

"I think you need to draw a question mark about your character!" Meng Fanze reprimanded, "For so many years, we have done this, and enterprises have taught each other experience, and we have never thought about the issue of compensation, why do you feel that paid services are natural when you come here?"

"That's reform. Feng Xiaochen replied with a smile. Regarding this issue, he didn't want to argue with Meng Fanze again, after all, it will take some time for the older generation's concept to change, and when "everything looks at money" is popular in society, Meng Fanze will understand Feng Xiaochen's words today.

"Minister Meng, over there in Xinmin Factory, I will continue to pay attention, and Section Chief Yu will write to me if they have any situation...... Don't worry, I bring my own dry food. Feng Xiaochen smiled and joked, and then said, "Next, where are you going to arrange for me to go?" ”

"You have done a good job in the affairs of Xinmin Factory, and I will praise you to the leaders of the Economic Commission. Meng Fanze said, "There are indeed many things that can be done over there for the 12 cubic meter excavator project, but it is not suitable for you to go now." Your Director Luo has already asked me to ask for someone, so you should go back to the Metallurgical Bureau to report immediately. ”

"What's the matter?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Meng Fanze said: "Regarding the project of the introduction of hot rolling mills at Nanjiang Iron and Steel Plant, the Metallurgical Bureau has looked for several consulting companies in the Federal Republic of Germany, by the way, it is the kind of company that you mentioned that provides consulting services for a fee. Luo Xiangfei wanted to personally lead the team to contact the other party, and he said that he had to take you along. This is a good opportunity to go abroad to learn from the experience of developed countries, open your eyes, and it will be very beneficial to you, and I will not stop you from doing such a thing. ”

"Thank you, Minister Meng!" Feng Xiaochen said.

Meng Fanze smiled and waved his hand: "What are you thanking me for, you were originally borrowed by me from your Director Luo, and now it is natural that the things will be returned to the original owner." However, Xiao Feng, let me give you a word, the door of our coal department is always open to you, and we are always welcome when you want to come here. ”
