Chapter Thirty-Eight: Shang Fang's Sword

Vice Minister Wu leaned back on the sofa, took another cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Yuemin, Lao Lu." I rarely give lectures to people, so I have the opportunity to say a few words to you today. ”

Zhao Yuemin immediately sat up straight and was able to listen to the minister's lecture, which is not a frequent opportunity.

"I, the vice minister of the Ministry of Petroleum, have been in office for more than 10 years, and in the summary of my work over the years, I have realized some shortcomings. The structural imbalance in our industrial sector is manifested mainly in the fact that there are many shortages in the economy. On the one hand, the materials that were in short supply are more likely to be shortage, and on the other hand, there are still many surplus products in the situation of shortage of some materials. On the other hand, the problem of coordination is also very large. In addition, incentive programmes are insufficient. In the original state-owned enterprises, the "big pot of rice, good and bad." Worker motivation is generally low. Vice Minister Wu said.

"Of course, the central government has also made some adjustments. For example, with regard to agricultural products, the central government will adjust the way in which the proportion of agriculture is light, and will also change the management of various sectors, and try to delegate power to the localities. Another example is to carry out some political mobilization, evaluate model workers, and arouse the enthusiasm of workers. ”

"But ......," Vice Minister Wu sighed, "these measures are not effective. Later, the Central Committee finally realized that the key issue was to give the comrades workers ample incentives for material benefits. ”

Zhao Yuemin and Lu Jianfei were dumbfounded. Abundant material incentives? This was a saying that was not often heard in those days. Now it is even from the lips of the ministers of the Central Committee to mention material rewards.

Could it be that the times are really changing?

"Yes, material incentives." Vice Minister Wu nodded and said, "The central government will issue a document soon." As for me, I will give you a thorough understanding of this advanced model and young scholar. ”

The red-headed document of the central government can let him know first, and Zhao Yuemin has a supreme sense of honor in his heart. He glanced at Lu Jianfei, and Lu Jianfei smiled at him encouragingly, meaning that Vice Minister Wu valued him very much.

"The central government has decided to advocate a profit retention system for all state-owned enterprises and collectively-owned enterprises, streamline administration and delegate power, expand power and retain profits. What does this profit retention system mean? The specific method is to reserve 12% of the increase in profits for profitable companies. This part of the profit left for the enterprise has three purposes, one is the incentive fund, and more bonuses are given to those who are active in their work. The second is the welfare fund, which builds dormitories, kindergartens, etc. The third is the Development Fund, which is used to invest in the expansion of reproduction. ”

Zhao Yuemin exclaimed when he heard the case: "Minister, it's good in this way, the workers are indeed motivated." ”

"Yes. Zhao Yuemin, you are the director of this factory, according to what you said, there are indeed many difficulties. Therefore, I will also give you some support. Vice Minister Wu took out a stack of documents and said, "This profit retention system was not promoted to all enterprises at the beginning. Instead, select a part of the pilot enterprises. In order to support you as the director of this plant, I can include the Jiangbei Oilfield Machinery Repair Plant in the scope of pilot enterprises. In this way, if you, the factory director, start a business reform, is it guaranteed? ”

"Great!" Zhao Yuemin stood up excitedly. In the past, it was difficult for the factory to make a profit because there was no core product. Now, the diamond drill bit has been improved through the research institute, and this core product is available. If the ministry includes its own factories in the pilot enterprises, through this profit retention system, it is equivalent to having the sword of Shangfang.

At that time, no matter what kind of factory the cadres and children of the factory, they can definitely carry out a drastic reform.

"Thank you, Minister! Minister, I should invite you to dinner. Zhao Yuemin said excitedly.

"Don't thank me. The central reform is only designed as a plan. Decentralization to the local level also requires you, the pioneers of reform, to make achievements. Vice Minister Wu said with a smile, "If you pilot enterprises do a good job, you can promote it to the whole country." ”

"Minister, please rest assured!"

……

Duan Qiming has been a little annoyed lately. He, the director of the machine repair factory, was demoted and became the deputy director. The new director of the factory is a hairy young man in his early twenties.

Duan Qiming is 50 years old this year, has been working for more than 30 years, at first as an apprentice in Dujiang County Machinery Factory, from an apprentice to the head of the production team, in charge of the production of a workshop, and then became the deputy factory director, nearly 50 years old before officially becoming a factory director. After the regularization, Jiangbei Oilfield settled in Shaohu Town, and the Dujiang County Party Committee decided to transfer the machinery factory to the oilfield to support its construction, and Duan Qiming's personal organizational relationship was also transferred.

Duan Qiming knew that he was responsible for the loss and poor operation of the machinery factory. However, the children of those cadres in the factory and the working class who are bullish and coaxing, it is really difficult to manage. Duan Qiming doesn't look like the factory director, but he is a good man, seeing that the factory is loose and loose, he wanted to take care of it, but as soon as people begged for mercy and paid for it, he had no choice.

Now, the factory can only survive by repairing oilfield equipment all day long, and there are few pieces of equipment that need to be repaired throughout the year. The rest of the time, the workers played cards in the factory, and they were quite open, shouting that they had no work to do but play cards. He Duan Qiming sighed to himself that he was incompetent, and there was no way.

It's just that he Duan Qiming can't figure it out, there is no way for him to participate in decades of work, and Zhao Yuemin, who is so young, has a way?

Two weeks later, the machine repair factory held a welcome meeting, all the middle-level cadres attended the meeting, and more than 100 people were seated in the conference room.

Duan Qiming took the microphone on the rostrum and said, "This ...... Today, a welcome meeting was held in the factory to welcome our new director, Comrade Zhao Yuemin. The efficiency of the factory this year is really not good, and I, the factory director, are also to blame. This one...... Since Director Zhao is here, I also hope that everyone will support him in his work......"

When Duan Qiming gave a routine welcome speech, Zhao Yuemin on the side found that few of the middle-level cadres in the audience were listening, some were eating melon seeds, some were dozing, and even a few were playing cards.

Seeing all this, Zhao Yuemin couldn't help frowning.

"Okay, now I invite Director Zhao to speak, everyone is welcome to ......" Duan Qiming took the lead in applauding, but there were only a few sparse applause from the audience, and most of the cadres in the factory didn't care.

Zhao Yuemin took the microphone and said: "Okay, I will say two words, and I will announce - all stand up!" After speaking, Zhao Yuemin stood up first. Duan Qiming was stunned for a moment, and then stood up as well.

The middle-level cadres in the audience looked inexplicable, but they had to stand up on the orders of the new factory director.

Zhao Yuemin glanced at the entire venue and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I swept away everyone's interest in playing cards and chatting." But we are here today to discuss the way out of the factory, so we have to be serious. I now finally understand why the workshop is a mess and the workers are passive. Because the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked! ”

Zhao Yuemin's voice was raised very high, and his eyes emitted a light like cold lightning......
