Chapter 159: Promoted to Team Leader

In this flue-cured tobacco purchase season that has just been successfully concluded, the flue-cured tobacco procurement system arranged by the provincial tobacco company has been actually put into use on a pilot basis at the grassroots tobacco purchasing station. Although each county company only launched one or two tobacco purchase stations as pilots, Qi Jingtao, as the person in charge of the informatization work of the county company designated by the information center, participated in the whole process of the project and had a deep understanding of the effectiveness of the use of flue-cured tobacco acquisition software.

He recognized the practical effect and achievements of the flue-cured tobacco acquisition software, but did not recognize the design level and design effect of the flue-cured tobacco acquisition software, the commercialization traces were too heavy, and the traces of improvement and upgrading artificially left by foreign software companies were too far-fetched.

Isn't it just that they deliberately design it in order to keep upgrading the system and updating the version in the future, so that they can find a good reason to improve and upgrade the system every year, and they can charge a few more times?

In the process of project follow-up, he found many design flaws and technical problems from the perspective of a professional technician. However, it can only be discovered, this is a large project in the province, and he is only responsible for a local user. He can find problems in the operation of the system from the role of a user and put forward suggestions for user improvement. However, even if he discovers the man-made design flaws and technical problems that can be improved in the software design, he cannot raise them. He really can't pierce those bad designs, and no one listens to them.

Now, he also has to go to great lengths to make a technical appraisal report as a professional user opinion, which is evidence that the company that develops and designs the software has passed the pilot. This kind of report made him very embarrassed, the first time to write such a technical appraisal report, Qi Jingtao didn't know how to write this kind of official article.

After a large copy of the world's articles, Qi Jingtao simply clicked into the information center to collect and save those technical archives, and searched and browsed several similar documents. He studied the writing techniques and words and sentences of those archival materials, and used the Spring and Autumn penmanship to complete this technical appraisal report in general terms.

This feeling of holding his breath when he had something to say, and the so-called technical appraisal report that had to sing praises against technical principles, made him as uncomfortable and disgusting as eating a green-headed fly. After typing this so-called technical appraisal report, he didn't even have the interest to read it again, so he directly printed it out and threw it on the table to wait for submission.

The afternoon meeting was presided over by Director Liu Zheng himself, and the Chinese people still regard the Spring Festival as the beginning of a new year's work, and the business responsibilities of the information center began to be adjusted on the eve of the Spring Festival.

“…… The focus of our information center is to upgrade the system using software. According to the work content and business needs, the information center is divided into four business groups for management. The system management group is ...... by Zhang Hong; The project management team is ...... by Huang Yunshen; Software management group, which is ,...... by Li Li; The hardware management group, which is responsible for Qi Jingtao, is responsible for the group's informatization equipment planning and equipment declaration plan management, as well as the daily maintenance and management of hardware equipment,......。 Of course, the work of the information center is still based on software development and design, and the personnel of each business group are only relatively fixed. We adopt flat management, and the work and functions of each business group are intersecting and collaborative,......" Liu Zheng, director of the information center, talked eloquently, talking about the next business adjustment and the next work arrangement of the information center.

There are a total of 14 employees in the information center, except for Director Liu Zheng, who has an administrative position at the department level, the other 13 employees are ordinary employees in the group company and do not have any administrative positions. The division of business working groups is only an adjustment and change of the management mode within the information center. The four so-called team leaders did not enjoy any administrative improvements, nor did they receive a penny of bonuses and benefits.

However, this means that Liu Zheng, director of the information center, is delegating power, and he has delegated part of the power in his hands to the four business leaders under the information center. In the future, the four business team leaders will no longer be ordinary employees, and they will already have the actual management authority of some information center directors.

Qi Jingtao, who was sitting in the conference room and listening to the lecture, knew that he was now equivalent to the role of the office director of the information center, a department-level department. While maintaining the original work content, you also need to be responsible for the daily affairs of the information center. The scope of his business work has expanded, and the scope of work he is responsible for has expanded. He began to have soldiers under him, and Chen Yanan and Wu Hongwei had been assigned to him to manage the business.

In accordance with the agenda of the general session, the General Assembly will conclude its small session. After the all-staff meeting, the working meeting of Director Liu Zheng and the four business team leaders continued to be held to clarify the work responsibilities of each business team leader.

At the end of the meeting, Qi Jingtao suddenly found that Mr. Niu was really prescient. With the arrival of the new leader of the group company, the information center, a pure technology development department, has expanded its functions and mastered the equipment procurement plan management and equipment selection authority of the group's computer equipment, and this authority is now basically in his hands. How big is this right?

Qi Jingtao quickly flipped through the relevant information handed over to him by Director Liu Zheng and found that in the past few years, the group company has purchased more than 3 million new and replaced computer equipment every year. The material procurement department is responsible for the procurement of spare parts, consumables, and daily maintenance and repair of computer equipment with a cost of more than 6 million.

From this year onwards, the collection, selection, and preliminary review of computer equipment procurement plans will be managed by the information center, a professional functional department. What does it mean that Qi Jingtao's business group will be responsible for these businesses in the next step?

Looking through the statistical table of the procurement of computer equipment and materials in the past three years, Qi Jingtao found it very interesting. Computer equipment is still a luxury, and the price is understandably high. However, the entire group of companies has more than 700 sets of computer equipment so far. Why is it that for three consecutive years, the cost of computer consumables procurement, and the so-called maintenance and repair of computer equipment is as high as more than 4 million, 5 million, and 6 million?

Computer equipment is so expensive? It can't be. Due to work needs, Qi Jingtao currently has two computers for personal use, a desktop computer used in the office and a laptop computer used for work. He has done the daily maintenance himself, but he has never spent a penny on repairs, and what is the good repair of the computer equipment? The several printers and photocopiers used in the information center have not been repaired by themselves, and the ribbons and toner cartridges have not been repaired even if they are replaced after they are used up.

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. In the past, Qi Jingtao never cared about the cost and price of equipment, and worked as his programmer with peace of mind. Suddenly accepted this management responsibility, and began to care about these things. Before he went to the computer use department to investigate and understand, he felt that the purchase cost of computer consumables and the so-called maintenance and repair cost of computer equipment were ridiculously high and inexplicable.

After the computer equipment of the group company was distributed to specific business departments, over the years, the installation, commissioning, maintenance and maintenance of the equipment seemed to be done by these colleagues in the information center.

In addition to the development, design, operation and maintenance of software, the programmers of the information center are usually called to the site by the business department, and the most work they do is to help them maintain computer equipment and replace accessories and consumables. After a set of system software, development and design, and put into use, where do so many failures come from, and the programmers need to go to the business department for maintenance if they have nothing to do?

Who is responsible for the maintenance and repair of computer equipment, and who needs to pay for the inexplicable maintenance and repair costs, and how to do it? Director Liu Zheng did not say anything about these situations.

However, the maintenance and repair of computer equipment is not currently in the work responsibilities of the information center, and Qi Jingtao just took a casual look, and put it aside to understand the situation, what should he do.

Now that he is the leader of the business team, he has soldiers under him, and their business team still has to meet and have a small meeting. There are only a few people in the information center, and the division of the business group is also relative, and everyone's basic responsibility is still programmer, and this identity will not change. It's just that it is divided into four business groups, and each business group has its own focus on its daily work.
