Chapter 54 Presiding over the work
Continuing the momentum of the previous year? If any other cadre said that, the leaders would definitely immediately criticize him for saying big things. Even if the person who said this was Yang Zhi, who had repeatedly achieved good results, the leaders were a little suspicious, this kid didn't seem to be this kind of person who spoke wildly? And what is that "diversification strategy"? Is it really that powerful?
Seeing that several leaders had successfully aroused their curiosity, Yang Zhi continued to explain: "Diversification strategy, also known as diversification strategy, refers to a development strategy in which an enterprise operates more than two products or services with different basic economic purposes at the same time. The diversification strategy is relative to the professional operation of enterprises, and its contents include: product diversification, market diversification, investment area diversification and capital diversification. "These things that look like in the textbooks of the previous life are absolutely new and advanced things for the leaders, and they are stunned when they hear them.
"As far as we are concerned, we can't just rely on one or a few products to win the world. For example, Dongfanghong 20 with good sales can be serialized, and more derivative products can be developed on the basis of it to meet the broader market demand. In fact, Yang Zhi has been using his break time to carry out preliminary research in this area in the past two months.
"In addition, we can continue to develop new products in different fields, such as the United Nations project, in addition to tractors also need other agricultural machinery, our factory can also develop boat tractors (machine cultivators), seeders, harvesters and so on. These machines are not very difficult for our factory. ”
"Generally speaking, the diversification strategy for our factory is two points: one is to form a series of existing products, improve the scale, reduce costs, and increase product coverage. The second is to develop new products in the field of other related agricultural machinery, form upstream and downstream synergies, and create the image of a professional manufacturer of agricultural machinery. ”
Yang Zhi explained it in such a simple way, especially in combination with the actual production of Yituo, and the leaders quickly understood what this "diversification strategy" was.
In fact, when Yang Zhi stated his opinion just now, he did not need to use the new term "diversification strategy", which came from later generations, and could just say the actual meaning. However, it is not that he is playing tricks, in order to fully mobilize the attention of the factory leaders, this pass still has to be sold.
But this time, Yang Zhi was a little too cautious. In fact, a few years ago, when the benefits of a tractor were good, relying on the hot sales of Dongfanghong 30/40 large and medium-sized tractors, it was also in the limelight for a while. The situation is very similar to the hot sales of Dongfanghong 20 this year. However, relying too much on individual products ultimately leads to strict consequences. The factory leaders who have experienced these can naturally see the hidden worries under the hot sales of Dongfanghong 20. Therefore, in fact, there is no need for Yang Zhi to bring it up, Zhu Chunming and Chen Deshan are also ready to discuss this issue.
Do you have any specific plans for how to implement this "diversification strategy"? Zhu Chunming is obviously more concerned about the specific implementation measures.
Yang Zhi naturally thought about this problem himself: "My temporary idea is that it is best to unify the affairs of new product development, and consider setting up a separate organization, except for the production or handing over to various branches and branches, the rest of the matters can be arranged by this organization!" ”
Experienced leaders naturally know the benefits of this, whether it is the professional process or the efficiency of the work will definitely be much higher than the current loose new product development team, but such a thing involves the setting of the organization and the adjustment of personnel, and it is certainly impossible to directly decide some daily small things by a few leaders present as before. That would have to be decided at a team meeting.
"What do you see?" Chen Deshan solicited the opinions of several other people. Seeing Zhu Chunming, Gong Xiaojun, and even Tang Yang all nodded lightly, he was no longer ambiguous: "Okay, let's hold an office meeting tomorrow to solve this problem." ”
In the afternoon of the next day, Yituo held a factory director's office meeting in a small conference room on the fourth floor. Before Chen Deshan, the director of the factory, came, several leaders had already entered the conference room. Sitting and waiting for the others to arrive, several people naturally chatted, and Xiao Qiang, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and chairman of the trade union, talked about the gossip that began to circulate yesterday afternoon: Yang Zhi sold the tractor to the United Nations. Because he was in charge of the party affairs and trade union work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and did not focus on production and specific business, he naturally didn't know much about this, so he asked Lei Guocai, deputy director of logistics, and Liu Yajun, deputy director of production, next to him. Liu Yajun naturally knew the news, but he didn't know the real inside story. As soon as he heard that it was Yang Zhi, he immediately refuted loudly: "Now this unhealthy atmosphere in the factory, I think it should really be killed, talk nonsense, what is the United Nations, Yang Zhi can fool some people in the factory, but he can fool all the people in the United Nations?" Just kidding! Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway. ”
The other leaders were also a little skeptical, after all, the United Nations felt too far away. Now I heard Liu Yajun, who was in charge of production, say this, so I naturally believed it.
After the factory director Chen Deshan and other factory leaders arrived, the meeting officially began. Chen Deshan, director of the factory, first briefed everyone on the contact between Yang Zhi and the deputy representative of the United Nations Representative Office in Beijing yesterday. People like Zhu Chunming, Gong Xiaojun and others who have known for a long time are naturally nothing, but the leaders of other factories are really surprised. Do you really do business to the United Nations? Xiao Qiang and Lei Guocai couldn't help but look at Liu Yajun with their eyes. Liu Yajun was first surprised when he heard this, and then couldn't help but blush. They were so full of words to Xiao Qiang just now, but they were slapped in the face!
In addition to embarrassment, Liu Yajun was also a little lost. Once upon a time, he was in charge of the most core production, and he has always been one of the most well-informed people in the factory, but now the news is closed, and he actually makes such a big joke. Then I thought that the weight of his speech in the factory seemed to be getting lighter and lighter lately. For a while, he didn't care about hating Yang Zhi, and his expression became very depressed.
Then Chen Deshan asked Yang Zhi, who was present at the meeting, to put forward his idea. Although it seems that it is a new organization to coordinate new products and diversification, it is actually an adjustment of the new product development team, and the steps are not too big. On the contrary, it took Yang Zhihao a lot of effort to explain it to others.
It didn't take much trouble to get through this mention at the meeting, but this is a rare shunlì in recent meetings. It turns out that, on the one hand, the effectiveness of new product development is clear and unambiguous to all leaders. On the other hand, Yang Zhi described the prospect that "once we win the United Nations project, it can not only fill the gap in China's large-scale machinery exports, but also help to enhance the popularity of Yituo and Dongfanghong, and build an internationally renowned machinery brand" more or less moved the leaders present, or said that they were selfish.
After all, in this era when opening up to the outside world has just begun, the procurement of products by the United Nations is an out-and-out great achievement! The overall efficiency and popularity of Yituo have gone up, as members of the leadership team, they are also rising, and their own political future is quite guaranteed, maybe it will not be long before they can go to other units directly under the ministry to be a secretary, factory director or something.
Another point is that Liu Yajun, who is usually the most active in opposing issues related to new products, seems to have changed his personality today, like a frosted eggplant, and almost did not express his opinion.
Therefore, the meeting decided to set up a new multi-operation company in the factory (referred to as the multi-economic division, which is a common subordinate unit of various state-owned units to carry out diversified operations in the 80s and 90s), and the branch of the branch, is a second-level unit with a division-level structure, responsible for all new products and diversification-related work.
Since the idea was put forward by Yang Zhi, he has always been in charge of new product development. The leaders unanimously agreed (in fact, Liu Yajun did not express an opinion) that he was the most appropriate to be in charge of the new unit, and the transition was the smoothest. However, it is obviously impossible for Yang Zhi, who has just become the deputy director, to be promoted again. So under the compromise, the leaders decided that Yang Zhi would be the executive deputy manager and preside over the daily work of the multi-economic division. Considering that Yang Zhi is indeed young and lacks experience in leading a unit alone, Hou Yaoguo, secretary of the Party branch of the Logistics Department, who has a lot of experience in transferring workers and is a veteran and respectful, served as the secretary of the general party branch of the multi-economic department to assist Yang Zhi in the work of new products.
As soon as the meeting ended, the news spread to all directions in the factory. Although the level has not changed, it is still at the level of deputy director, but the right to preside over the work of the new unit is not small. And everyone generally believes that as long as the work of the multi-economic department is on the right track and develops well, the word "deputy" of Yang Zhi, the deputy manager, will be removed sooner or later, but it is just separated by a thin layer of window paper. However, the development of things later was shocking, and Yang Zhi has never been able to pierce this layer of window paper!
