Chapter Seventy-One: Transactions
For dinner, I chose a newly opened Sichuan restaurant in the commercial building at the bottom of the street outside the Golden Olive Community, the environment is not bad, but the quality of the meals is very average. Wu Shi'an only said that it was a pity, which meant that the chef's level was too average, and he was sorry for the hardware of the restaurant.
Ke Ke doesn't eat spicy, and she usually only eats fruit at night, and it was completely irrelevant to ask Tao Tang for supper that night. So today there was almost no movement to the full table of dishes. Tao Meiling noticed this, and only after careful questioning did she know whether she could eat spicy food, so she blamed Wu Shi'an for not knowing anything, and she didn't ask clearly before ordering.
I apologize to Wu Shi'an, so I can say that I usually don't eat at night. She noticed Tao Tang's wandering mind and seemed to have something on her mind. Tao Youdao and Wu Shi'an competed to settle the bill, so they could ask Tao Tang in a low voice, "Something on your mind?" Still angry about the noon incident? ”
"Huh? What am I angry about? Tao Tang looked at Fang Ke in puzzlement.
This scene is quite similar to Fang Lan, Fang Lan always asked him like this back then, "What are you angry about?" Tell me about it? ”
"I thought you were angry about the noon. Don't take it to heart. What birds don't have when the forest is big? ”
"What nonsense? Am I so careful? Tao Tang was thinking about the news that Wu Shi'an told him just now.
"You're just careful." Fang Kebai glanced at Tao Tang.
"When are you and Xiaohe leaving? I'll arrange to buy you tickets. By the way, if you have time, send Xiaohe back to Binjiang, I don't worry about her going alone. ”
"Isn't it too late to ask? I've already booked my tickets on my phone. I'll send Xiaohe back to Binjiang, tomorrow morning at half past eight in the car. I've not been too busy lately, and I'll be with her in Binjiang until the end of the high school entrance examination. ”
"Oh, is Xiaohe going to miss class?"
"It's already in the general review stage, it doesn't matter."
"Look at me," Tao Tang blamed himself a little, "I didn't even ask her about the results of the exam, don't make a joke for me." ”
"Have you just thought about it now?" Fang Ke glared at Tao Tang, "You are incompetent as a father." Let me tell you, according to the results of the first survey, you don't have to worry about vocational high school, it's no problem to go to an ordinary high school, but a key middle school is a bit mysterious. ”
"It's not a big deal to be unfocused...... The key is interest and method, thank you. ”
Bai Shuxian and Tao Meiling saw the scene of the two talking in a low voice.
took two cars back to the factory, Tao Tang and the other three went back to Xiaozhao, and the rest went back to their respective homes. Tao Jin and his wife invited Xiaohe to live at home, but Tao Xiaohe refused.
Tao Tang wanted to talk to Xiaohe about learning, but he didn't expect Zhao Qingmin to come to the trick.
Fang Ke greeted Zhao Qingmin and took Xiaohe to the opposite room.
"I heard you're back...... Didn't bother you, did you? When Song Yue was there, Zhao Qingmin came to this suite more than once, but now it is different.
"It's all this stinky girl who caused trouble, so I didn't even go back to Binjiang." Tao Tang got up to make tea for the secretary and briefly explained the situation.
"Normal. Today's children are different from when we were children, and they can't look at new problems with old eyes. The kid is good, and he looks like a clever ghost. ”
"I'm going to take the high school entrance examination soon, and I have this leisure...... Do you have something? ”
"Two things. The first is the house problem. It has been delayed for 20 days, and it has not had time to be implemented, and it cannot be delayed any longer. I'm in charge for you, I chose a set of the fourth floor, which is the best of the remaining three, Song Yue's case is not closed, God knows when there will be a result...... Listen to me, I have asked Jian'an Company to arrange decoration, I don't think you are trendy, practical and generous is the standard. After the design comes out, you approve it. The total price of the house is a little more than 450,000 yuan, and after going to work, let the factory office handle the procedures for you. ”
"I said I didn't want it." Tao Tang shook his head.
"A must! It's up to you. It's about the stability of the workforce, if you don't buy a house, everyone thinks you have a temporary idea. On May Day, Director Chang Shanqiang of the headquarters also called me and asked about your living arrangements. This is also what Director Chang meant. If you're short on money, wait until this year's performance is in hand. ”
"Secretary, I'm buying a house in Golden Olive. I went to see it with my family in the afternoon. Aren't you embarrassing me? ”
"What house does Golden Olive buy? Retreated, retreated. Not to mention expensive, it's definitely not as good as our house. ”
"Is that easy? The contract was signed and the payment was made. Lao Zhao, you are nonsense. ”
"Let's stop talking, listen to me, just buy it, I don't think it will suffer, and you can definitely afford it." Aren't you going to take the old man back? It's good to get an extra house. Now, I can still maintain the value of buying a house, and my wife speculated in stocks a few years ago, which didn't give me a headache...... This matter is settled, and I will make the decision for you! ”
"It's not a big deal to buy at the price. However, the staff has opinions about Building 96," Tao Tang muttered, "I have only been here for a few days, and I have received several letters from Building 96, and I haven't had time to tell you yet." In addition, after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the intensity of clean government was unprecedented, which I think is inappropriate. ”
"Alas, it's hard to put into words. When the building was first built, the opinions of the team were not so unanimous. The main leaders have made a decision, and I am not good at hard topping. It's not easy to deal with a few empty houses, and it's hard to say anything to anyone you buy, in short, I'll be in charge. ”
"Secretary Zhao, when it comes to this, I'll just say a few more words. Yang Wenhua and Song Yue are sorry for the Red Star Factory, harming others and themselves. You must have sensed that the staff is not so trusting of our team. This morning, I had to leave two workshops, and some employees reported problems to me, including Building 96. The past is gone, and what we have to do now, especially the two of us, can no longer rub salt in the wounds. The army's spirit is scattered, and Mao's things can't be done. Secretary, I received the love, but the house is absolutely gone. I'm just alone, why do you want such a big house? Scolding? Since it's empty, don't waste it. My opinion, put it up for auction! The highest bidder wins. Deal with it, and the ears will be clean. ”
"That's not appropriate, right?"
"What's out of the ordinary? The old way of the old, the new rules of the newcomer, don't they do a lot of things? You can consider my opinion, and discuss it with Chairman Guo after work, there is nothing too big wrong. How convenient do you think I live here? Clean, don't spend money to live in a star-rated hotel, the staff don't say anything, it's too cheap. You say there's one more thing, what's the matter? ”
Zhao Qingmin groaned, as if he was still thinking about the house, and said for a long time, "Oh, that's the case, the team of the Finance Department, are we considering strengthening it?" ”
"Oh...... Li Jianguo mentioned it to me, saying that he was a little too busy, but I didn't agree. According to my statistics, there are more than 280 leaders at or above the department level in the company, and nearly 700 people at the section level. Don't you think our team is a little bloated? When I was in Shengdong, I met a chief of the local garrison, and when he talked about the current ratio of officers and soldiers in the army, he was very worried, thinking that it was simply impossible to fight. Although we are an enterprise and not an army, I am afraid that the truth is similar. When I was in Shengdong, I recommended a management book to the cadres called "Learning from the People's Liberation Army", which had some results. I believe that it is very necessary for difficult enterprises, and not large state-owned enterprises like us, to learn the management methods, strict discipline, high morale, and dedication of the military. And, of course, a reasonable ratio of officers and soldiers. I do feel that Red Star's cadre team is huge and bloated......"
"The situation of the finance department is special, I still suggest strengthening it...... Zhao Qingmin has no intention of listening to Tao Tang's unrealistic ideas, how easy is it to streamline cadres? How many years have you been able to go up and down? Unless you make a mistake, unless you seriously offend the main leader, who can you spare? Cutting off people's futures is no different from murdering people for money...... If you want to solve Ming Xiaoyue's problem, you can't bypass Tao Tang, and it will be even worse if you hand over power to Han Zhiyong.
Tao Tang must be convinced...... Zhao Qingmin felt that it was so difficult to promote a deputy director level to the secretary of the party committee, "Mr. Tao, after Quan Jianhe was dismissed, there were some signs of instability in the finance department, and it was more advantageous to determine it earlier. Financial, planning, production, human and labor units are your main staff and executive departments, which can only be strengthened, not weakened. ”
"Do you have the right person?" Tao Tang squinted at Zhao Qingmin.
"There is one. I think Comrade Ming Xiaoyue is more suitable. ”
"Oh, that female section chief of the price section...... She did a good job of analyzing the price of East Lake products for me. ”
"I know her better. Strong business ability and overall view. The disadvantage is that the personality is stronger, and it offends some people in the unit...... Our system is like that, and those who do it are always criticized. ”
"Time will tell."
"That's it. If you agree, will you have a meeting after the holiday? ”
"I'm afraid that the procedure will still have to go, so Mr. Han has to breathe anywhere, right?"
"Mr. Tao, there is a sentence in my capacity that is not suitable for me to say, but I still want to say it today. I don't know if you feel it. How to say it in our team, there are problems, the main one is disunity. As for Yang Wenhuan and Song Yue, it's another problem. ”
Tao Tang held a bottle of mineral water in his hand and listened quietly.
"Disunity is mainly concentrated in Li Luo and Han Zhiyong, and Ma Guangming is also counted as one. Other comrades, I don't think it matters. It is difficult to say that the differences in the work are not united, but the contradictions between Han Zhiyong and Li Luo have gone beyond the scope of work and have affected the unity of the team and the development of the work. In fact, the price problem in the East Lake market is an example. You may feel it, or you may think it's normal. Mr. Tao, I dare to guarantee that if the Organization Department is allowed to go through the procedures, Comrade Ming Xiaoyue will definitely not be able to attend the meeting! Because Peng Jie will uphold the will of certain leaders. This is a great sadness. ”
Sadness is for sure. But only for you, not necessarily for me. Tao Tang thought. Organization and propaganda are the two core departments of the party committee, and if the party secretary completely loses control over the two core departments of the party and the masses, his power will be very limited. However, since the implementation of the factory director responsibility system, the personnel power of state-owned enterprises is basically in the hands of the administrative leader, and correspondingly, the organization department has become a department firmly controlled by the factory director, but the factory director generally does not inquire about the work of the propaganda department. For example, the organization department of Red Star Company is subject to the executive vice president, which should be regarded as an exception......
"Secretary Zhao, since you have spoken openly, I will also tell you what is in my heart. The greatest resource of a business is not assets, nor technology, but people. Similarly, the biggest ** of the enterprise is not in the economy, but in the personnel. I've noticed the phenomenon you're talking about, but I don't think it matters. In terms of the rigorous science of organization, our existing system cannot be said to be the best and relatively good, at least stronger than private enterprises! Some people say that the structure of private enterprises is more in line with the market economy, but this is not true. When a private enterprise develops to a certain scale, it will inevitably have some characteristics of a state-owned enterprise. The problems in the management of state-owned enterprises cannot be attributed to the organizational structure.
"What is our problem? I think it's the management failure and the misalignment of management. What should be managed is not managed, and what should not be managed is blind. The root of this phenomenon is above but not below, back to our company, the problem is you, me, and Chairman Guo, that is, the three of us. In other words, as long as the three of us manage it in place, the problems existing in the Red Star team can be solved, which I firmly believe. How? I think it's just going its own way. A few years ago, the company system was reformed, the board of directors and the board of supervisors were established, and the work was emphasized at different levels. For example, because of the particularity of state-owned enterprises, I don't think it is necessary to have two separate positions. The above is obviously aware of this, which is why it is common for the chairman to be the general manager. In fact, I think it is more reasonable for the party secretary and the chairman to shoulder to shoulder. Far from that, I mean, as long as the three of us work together and get our own things right, Red Star's affairs will be easy to handle! If there is a gang below, it must always be pulled to the top. On the contrary, the phenomenon of disunity at the top will be reduced or even eliminated at the end of the upward line. The three of us must act in accordance with procedures and principles on personnel issues, and we must be open and sincere and fair...... Otherwise, the following will not be convinced. It doesn't matter if the organization department deviates, democratic centralism is the basic organizational principle, and in the end we have the final say. Secretary Zhao, we should pay attention to the problem you said, and don't take it too seriously. If you really engage in non-organizational activities, let alone an organizational minister, or a company-level leader, we can also replace him. ”
Tao Tang's words are universal nonsense. But Zhao Qingmin read the true meaning of Tao Tang from it, that is, he asked himself and Guo Tao to follow his baton. Tao Tang can meet his requirements for promoting Ming Xiaoyue, and Tao Tang can not care about the assessment results of the Organization Department, on the condition that he and Guo Tao support him.
"I agree with what you said. Rest assured, I will support your work. Zhao Qingmin immediately expressed his position.
Weighing the pros and cons, it is beneficial for him to form an alliance with Tao Tang, and it is impossible for him to replace Tao Tang, since the headquarters selected Tao Tang to take over the baton of Red Star, this is an unchangeable fact. Not to mention that Tao Tang does not have any handle in the hands of others, even if he does, the headquarters is not allowed to use non-organizational means to elevate or even kill Tao Tang.
"That's it for the house, I don't want it. At the next meeting, you can mention that you can sell the empty houses. From a personal point of view, I am deeply grateful for Big Brother's concern. From a work point of view, it should not be more advantageous. In addition, after reading several documents recently, the central authorities have made unprecedented efforts to grasp the work style of cadres, and we must keep up with them in a timely manner. For example, the mass line, the eight regulations, etc., sort out the current system, and if it does not conform to the spirit of the superiors, it will be resolutely abolished. If it is not clear, it is stipulated in the spirit of strict requirements, and I have found that there are indeed many phenomena in the two-level teams that do not conform to the spirit of the overall situation, such as the problem of eating and drinking. I don't know what the specific rules are in this regard, but I saw some things that were not so comfortable during the holidays. The masses will not be satisfied, and still less will they meet the new requirements of the central authorities for the building of party style. I suggest that the party committees and discipline inspection commissions study these issues. It's your job to do this, man, or you should catch it, I'm just making a suggestion. ”
"The suggestion is good," Zhao Qingmin sighed, "To be honest, after the Yang Song problem was exposed, the eating and drinking style was somewhat restrained. It was even more unusual. I completely agree with you, like us Red Star, it should be overkill. I think about it, after work, the central group will have a meeting, some documents should be conveyed and studied, and the issues about work style should also be studied. ”
"That's good."
"Mr. Tao, you haven't been here for a long time, but you have brought a long-lost air. I've been looking forward to this air for a long time, really. I believe that you, the squad leader, can lead everyone out of the predicament. ”
"You can't live without your brother's support."
"I don't bother you, it's rare to see my daughter, I'm really embarrassed."
