Chapter 155: Lu Qi's Reflections
Pinching the time, Lu Qi rushed back to the factory before five o'clock, put Yin Yutao and Fang Fang in front of the small trick door, Lu Qi drove his own Focus home, just parked the car, and saw an Audi A6 turn to the front of the building, and it was Lu Wei who got off the car.
"Oh, it's really punctual, I'm honking the horn in the back, and your old man is stunned and ignores it."
"Less poverty. What's the urgency? ”
"Which way did you go with the immortals? It's not your brother-in-law's back, right? Lu Wei held a brown leather bag in his hand and said to Lu Qi with a smile.
"It's getting more and more unusual" Lu Qi sank his face, "I am the sister-in-law of Mr. Tao, what are you talking about?" ”
"Are you kidding...... My business is also related to Mr. Tao," said Lu Wei, groping for something from his purse.
"Let's go home and talk about it," Lu Qi didn't want to be seen by the neighbors.
"No, just a letter. Handed over to Mr. Tao," Lu Wei found the envelope, "Well, that's it, I only received it in the morning, Secretary Lu asked me to hand it over to Mr. Tao......"
"Secretary Lu?" Lu Qi's expression became solemn.
"The complaint letter is addressed to Secretary Lu. Oh, don't get me wrong, it's not to tell Mr. Tao, you give the letter to Mr. Tao, I've read the letter, it's not interesting" Lu Wei glanced at his watch and opened the car door, "Secretary Lu has an event at night, I have to go back"
"Hey," Lu Qi called out to his younger brother, "You are driving Secretary Lu's car, right?" ”
"No, it's run by the municipal party committee. Where can I move Secretary Lu's car casually? On business, save yourself some gas. Let's go" Lu Wei raised his hand towards his sister, "It's good to ask Mr. Tao, I haven't had a chance to thank you, I'm very sorry not to go, sister, you can help me think about it."
Lu Qi pinched the letter in his hand, like a time bomb. Seeing left and right that no one was paying attention to her, she hurried upstairs and returned to her house. Because the envelope was open, Lu Qi impatiently took out the letter, and recognized it when he looked at the handwriting, and sure enough, it was written by Lei Yun.
Lei Yun's report letter was against Liu Shulin, not Li Luo. After reading the letter, Lu Qi felt that the facts of Liu Shulin's violation of discipline listed by Lei Yun in the signed letter should exist. Lei Yun summed up three charges for Liu Shulin: forming a party for personal gain, twisting the law for personal gain, and embezzling business activity fees. Each cited examples of time, place, and person, but the first two accusations were relatively easy to turn around, leaving Liu Shulin with a lot of room for defense. I also said that we will find and develop talents for the company. What is fraud? Before the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there were many such problems in central enterprises, and the superior departments did not live in a vacuum, so they may not be able to convict Liu Shulin. Even the relatively easy business activity expenses to start the investigation may not be able to bring down Liu Shulin. Because that expense is allowed by the company, although there are no detailed and explicit regulations, in the process of expanding the market and grabbing orders, some expenses will inevitably occur, and these expenses may not be in Liu Shulin's personal pocket. Even if the local discipline inspection department intervenes, the result of the investigation is more likely to be irregular, rather than necessarily characterizing corruption as corruption. As for the private use of public vehicles, it is even more nonsense, there was an environment at that time. It is not necessarily appropriate to use the discipline of the present to hold the past accountable.
After reading the letter, Lu Qi's impression of Lei Yun was even more depreciated. I'm afraid this person is really not good, and the overall situation is seriously lacking. The specific means are even lower, I'm afraid I really recommend the wrong one. If this letter really takes effect, the superiors really investigate it, Liu Shulin may not be unlucky, and Lei Yun's future in Red Star is completely ruined, because he completely offended all the leaders except Tao Tang.
Right now. Secretary Lu forwarded the letter back to the factory. This surfaces Lu Yaozu's attitude. Obviously, Lu Yaozu kicked the ball to Tao Tang, and the city was not ready to care. Probably in Secretary Lu's opinion, such trivial things are not worth mentioning. The question is, can you do the same with a signed report? Or is it because of the irreversible relationship between Lu Tao? Lei Yun obviously made a mistake, even if he wanted to use anti-corruption to invite Liu Shulin head-on. He should not have sent the letter to the secretary of the municipal party committee. Now that the report letter has fallen into Tao Tang's hands, is Tao Tang willing to open another anti-corruption front? Lu Qi's answer is no, if Tao Tang is ready to clean up the marketing mouth, he will not have that attitude when the "two clouds" attack occurs at the marketing conference, let alone call himself to imply that he warned Zuo Yun. It's right to think about it, even if you are the leader of the Red Star, when the Yang Kaihe case occurs, you will not open another front and cause the Red Star to fall into the anti-corruption chaos, which will inevitably affect this year's business.
Lu Qi put the letter in the drawer of her desk. She knew that Tao Tang had not yet returned, and she had to hand it over to Tao Tang herself. So I'm not going to work today. In less than an hour before the bell rang, Lu Qi's thinking turned to Tao Tang.
It is certain that Tao Tang will not initiate an internal investigation into the marketing department after reading the letter. The only result is to completely "abandon" the thundercloud she recommended, the thundercloud is finished, if Tao Tang abandons this person, this person's future in the red star is over, and there is no hope.
Since Tao Tang became the number one leader of Red Star, Lu Qi can be regarded as comprehending the common thinking of the number one. Originally, Fan Yongcheng once talked about his experience in reading history, the so-called imperial mind seems to be mysterious and unpredictable, but in fact, it is extremely simple, to put it bluntly, it is not worth anything, it is just a balancing technique to control power. Lu Qi once jokingly said to her husband that you can always find vulgar reasons for noble behavior.
The number one leader of the enterprise is more than the feudal emperor, although it is somewhat inappropriate, but it is not without comparison. Everyone knows that Red Star has a corruption problem, Song Yue and Yang Wenhuan, two current company leaders, have been planted in it, who dares to say that Red Star is a pure land? But the headquarters sent Tao Tang to take command of Red Star, definitely not to let him fight corruption, but to let him reverse the difficult situation of Red Star! The anti-corruption necessary in order to straighten out the management will certainly be supported by the above, but if the management situation is further deteriorated in the anti-corruption process, it is not something that the superiors want to see...... And what Tao Tang has done in the past few months also confirms Lu Qi's judgment, he has always worked around the overall situation of the business, including the suppression of the Ren family, which cannot be regarded simply as a jealousy and hatred for corruption, but to stop the bleeding point of the enterprise. Again, the focus is on improving the company's operations. Therefore, Tao Tang has a seemingly contradictory attitude towards the marketing mouth, not only "supporting" the opposition to knock the marketing department, but also not allowing the "two clouds" to mess up the work of the marketing department, because the completion of this year's major indicators still depends on Li Luo and Liu Shulin......
However, Lu Qi believes that Tao Tang's policy thinking over the past few months is problematic. Thinking about it, the top management of the enterprise should do four words: open source and reduce expenditure. In the case of the Red Star. Open source has not seen the results at the moment, Tao Tang has come up with a lot of measures to reduce expenditure after taking office, from reasonable off-the-job personnel to the management of business activity expenses, from the start of property fee reform to the dismissal of temporary workers, the purpose of reducing expenditure is obvious. The effectiveness or projected effectiveness of each reform can be in the tens of millions, which sounds like a lot. But for a large factory like Red Star, it can't really solve the current dilemma, but just improve the cost a little bit. From the lean management that he spared no effort to hype and implement can confirm Lu Qi's judgment, Tao Tang always said about his success in Shengdong, what cost rate can be reduced by one point per year to convert how much money can be saved...... However, Lu Qi, who is engaged in the macro management of Red Star, believes that throttling is always an auxiliary means of expenditure. And not the main measure. Just like a faucet is always ticking and leaking if it is not tightened, it is based on the premise that there is water in the water pipe, if there is no water in the water pipe, what is the use of you tightening the faucet? For the Red Star Factory, the top priority is to open up the market and develop new products, the expansion of the scale is the first, only the continuous expansion of the scale, a series of measures to reduce the cost of the meaning. Think about the major expenses. For financial expenses alone, Red Star has to pay up to 200 million yuan in interest to the bank every year. Trying to save tens of millions of dollars is just a drop in the bucket for the company's huge fixed expenses...... In this regard, Song Yue's governance ideas in prison are in line with Lu Qi's ideas, and Song Yue spent a lot of effort on the fight for projects and the development of new products when he was in office!
Now Lu Qi often thinks about problems from Tao Tang's standpoint. In Lu Qi's view, fighting corruption is much easier than running a business. The difficulties faced by Red Star are manifold, and the most critical problem is that the scale of operation is not enough to feed tens of thousands of employees. Mr. Tao also clearly pointed out this point at the business analysis meeting in the first half of the year, and the fixed expenses of more than 3 million yuan per day must be spent. Under the premise that the product structure and profitability are relatively fixed, the only way to improve the operation is to increase the scale. But for a company like Red Star, a 10% increase in scale is almost 1 billion, which is equivalent to the opening of a large market similar to East Lake, which is quite difficult. At the beginning, Song Yue worked hard to win the Anhong project. Isn't it just for the sake of scale? Who knew that there was a big burden on it? From this point of view, Tao Tang is correct to focus on cost control. But Lu Qi seriously doubted that Tao Tang could solve Red Star's predicament by relying on the promotion of lean management......
Now, Tao Tang has taken over as the chairman of An Hong, and finally went to Anzhou to deal with this big burden, Lu Qi does not know how Tao Tang will make a decision on the future of An Hong, according to the Ministry of Development and Regulation, the Political Research Office and other departments of the previous research on the prospects of An Hong, more inclined to end the project, because now it is clear to see, hoping for the rapid expansion of the heavy vehicle market is obviously a wrong judgment, with the increase in downward pressure on the national economy, the prospects of the heavy vehicle market are worrying, and the prospects of An Hong will be even bleaker. But it is more difficult to end the Anhong project than to continue to invest, and in the economic field, it is well known that exit is more difficult than entry, what measures will Tao Tang take? What kind of report will he submit to Headquarters?
The development planning department is the department that does the company's top-level design, the company's long-term planning business is in the development planning department, I don't know how many articles to do about the company's long-term development every year, although Lu Qi is not in charge of planning business, but the company's long-term planning is not a secret to her. In the beginning of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" Red Star, the scale of the Red Star is a little more than 80000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Even if the goal of 10 billion is achieved this year, it will not exceed 13 billion in the remaining two years. This year, the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" has been evaluated in the middle of the term, and the evaluation report has been submitted to Tao Tang, but has not yet been reported to the group headquarters. The results of the mid-term evaluation presided over by Liu Xinjun are that the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" originally formulated by Red Star Company is too optimistic about the business environment, and the goal of 13 billion is difficult to achieve. Within the Ministry of Development and Regulation, the planning target of 11 billion is also pessimistic, and Duan Hui even believes that it is not easy to enter the 10 billion club, because the growth of mining machines and vehicle accessories is seriously weak, especially in the mining machine sector, the reality is that it is declining rather than growing.
Even if the planning target of 11 billion is achieved, with the existing profitability of Red Star, it will only increase the profit of about 100 million, and the increase in Red Star's rigid expenses is enough to offset this profit, such as the increase in employees' salaries must be taken into account. In the end, it is still the current situation of immortality, where can we talk about reviving the red star? From this point of view, on the contrary, Tao Tang's current policy is more effective, from the beginning of the implementation of several things from the off-the-job clean-up, theoretically saved nearly 100 million expenditures, according to the saying that what is saved is earned, isn't it said that Tao Tang has achieved the adjusted five-year plan goals? Of course, there is a price, he offended a group of people, a group of vested interests. But no one will read him well, because more workers do not benefit from it.
Of course, there is another way, that is, to seize the opportunity to do a big restructuring, such as borrowing the planning of local new city construction to implement the relocation and reorganization of Red Star. Since the news of the construction plan of Pingquan New Town, the senior management of Red Star has paid attention to this major event that is destined to affect the development of the company. However, Tao Tang's attitude was very clear, he was against the relocation. It is believed that the relocation and reorganization has no practical significance for Red Star.
Lu Qi remembered what Tao Tang said to Fan Yongcheng a few days ago, she didn't think Tao Tang was talking about Yanyan, so what method did he use to revive Red Star? Until the bell rang for work, Lu Qi still couldn't find any way. She admitted that she couldn't understand Tao Tang from her position, and although Tao Tang seemed to have no reservations about her, she still couldn't understand Tao Tang's factory management strategy.
He must have his own way! Lu Qi firmly believes. But Lu Qi did not approve of what Tao Tang was doing now, and did not approve of him devoting more energy to fighting corruption. If the anti-corruption campaign is conducive to the control of power, it is okay to do it, and his energy should be used more on top-level design to point out a path for Red Star's future development out of difficulties. Should these things be said to him? Lu Qi was a little unsure. (To be continued.) )
