Chapter 26 Marketing Report and Office Meeting III

It's finally here. Li Luo didn't look at Tao Tang, nor did he look at the other members of the team. He knew that all eyes were on him now.

Li Luo opened the notebook slowly, "Mr. Tao, I read the report of the marketing department and realized some problems, so I didn't let them report to you directly." The responsibility for not reporting in a timely manner lies with me. What's the problem? As far as the content of the report is concerned, what the marketing department says is the truth and there is nothing to hide. It is an unavoidable fact that the share of orders is declining, mainly due to the downturn in several major markets in which we operate. I think this situation, except for Mr. Tao, everyone here is clear. What's the problem? I think it's just that the subjective efforts of the marketing department are not enough. I have already criticized them, and in the current situation, it is even more necessary to show desperate energy. Mr. Tao, do you think this is the case, and let me report to you in detail about the problems in marketing? ”

Li Luo's attitude surprised Liu Shulin. He thought that Li Luo would argue with reason at this meeting, just like before. But Li Luo actually retreated, and put the hat of insufficient subjective effort on his head.

"It's fine. So, can you make a basic judgment on the annual income target? Tao Tang said.

“75~80。 It won't be more than 80. ”

"That is to say, the income target is at least 4 billion yuan worse. Right? ”

"That's right."

"So, Mr. Han, based on the annual scale judged by Vice President Li, what about the main financial indicators? What can be done? Which ones will definitely not be done? ”

"It's basically not over." Han Zhiyong, the chief accountant with some big tongues, said vaguely, "If there is a scale of 10 billion yuan, I can guarantee that the profit, EVA and other indicators, labor productivity and added value can also be completed, but the scale of 8 billion yuan is not to be discussed." He has been squeezed by Li Luo, and finally has a chance to fight back, so he naturally won't let it go.

"Understood. Comrades, not to mention that the failure to achieve the target will affect the salary of each of us here, the key is how to ensure the livelihood of the company's 20,000 or 30,000 employees. Further, it's how the company survives. It's not big talk, it's cold reality. Let's be honest, the organization put us in the position we are in now, and we need to solve problems, not just ask questions. I believe that until there is a fundamental change in the product mix, scale is the key factor that determines our survival. Do you agree with my judgment? ”

"I completely agree with Mr. Tao's judgment. The relevant indicators are built on the scale of 12 billion. With a difference of four billion, there is no way to make an account. Han Zhiyong responded immediately.

"Mr. Tao, I must explain that I do not agree with the target of 12 billion at the beginning of the year, which is well documented. But the main leaders at that time insisted on this, what can I do? Against Han Zhiyong's advance, Li Luo immediately counterattacked.

"The situation is indeed as Comrade Li Luo said, at that time, there were some subjective assumptions, and the judgment of the situation was too optimistic. And the main person in charge at that time could not listen to different opinions. Headquarters has a requirement for incremental economies of scale, but ours is in a special situation...... Mr. Tao, I suggest that you formally make a report to the headquarters, not that you don't work hard, but always seek truth from facts. Chairman Guo Tao answered.

"Well, who's going to talk about it?" Tao Tang looked around at the company leaders sitting in the front row, but did not look at the assistants and deputy chief engineers.

"I agree with Mr. Tao's opinion, the income index is the most critical, and the labor productivity rate is linked to me, but without income, there is no added value, and the labor productivity rate is difficult to complete." Liu Xiuyun's speech is actually nonsense. Tao Tang noticed Li Luo's disdainful eyes.

Tao Tang cleared his throat, "Then, the key is the income indicator." There was a suggestion that the group should report to adjust the indicators, and I understand. After all, it's about everyone's salary. But I was very embarrassed, and at the beginning of getting out of the car, I threw back a report asking for the adjustment of indicators, which was not appropriate. And with two-thirds of the time remaining. But the principle of seeking truth from facts should always be followed, and if this is still the case by the end of September, we will consider the issue of reporting. Before that, the indicators were all immovable, and they were assessed how they should be assessed, do you agree? ”

"Agreed." For Tao Tang's decision, no one has any reason to object.

"It's not okay to sit and wait. Let's talk about subjective effort. I'm going to talk about the marketing report again, it's all a matter of attitude. If our cadres lose their belief in success in the face of difficulties, the targets will not be accomplished. There will never be a pie in the sky, I'm afraid that's true. The assistant of the new army, in addition to the large part of the marketing department, how are the secondary indicators arranged? ”

"There is a secondary plan. The total amount is 120 million. It can be regarded as a supplement to sales revenue. Liu Xinjun, director of the Issuance and Planning Department, replied.

"How much was last year? I'm talking about the actual finish. ”

"165 million." Liu Xinjun's numbers came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Why have you lowered the secondary indicator this year?"

"The main thing is to consider the amount of tasks...... Liu Xinjun walked into a dead end, and was easily defeated by General Tao Tang. Liu Xinjun, who realized that there was a problem with his report, looked at Luo Chong, the chief economist, for help.

"Doesn't make sense, does it? Last year, the actual revenue was 9.65 billion. Without waiting for Luo Chong to speak, Tao Tang keenly pointed out the logical errors in Liu Xinjun's report.

"That's right," Luo Chong explained, "because the total plate at the beginning of the year was 12 billion yuan, so the second-level plan was lowered. ”

"Isn't that right? Shouldn't secondary indicators be followed by actual completion? The first quarter has passed, the situation is becoming clearer, why not adjust the secondary indicators? In terms of production capacity, in the Hiraizumi area, it has not yet surpassed ours. I estimate that in terms of the number of CNC machine tools, we may account for half of Pingquan, if we talk about casting and forging, we say second, Pingquan City is afraid that no one dares to say first. Under such circumstances, it would be a great mistake for the grassroots not to bring into play their enthusiasm. ”

"What Mr. Tao criticized was that we immediately studied and adjusted it." Luo Chong's attitude is more positive.

Li Luo didn't say anything. Tao Tang delayed the arrangement until the end of the third quarter, so he could not raise objections. He noticed the difference between Tao Tang and Song Yue, and he was actually willing to let Tao Tang fall into boring and cumbersome business problems. Although Tao Tang is also the general manager, he is the first person responsible for the business indicators, but as an enterprise of the scale of Red Star, falling into cumbersome affairs will inevitably affect the control of the macro situation. Song Yue never pays attention to specific figures, there are chief accountants, chief economists, and a group of deputy general managers, assistants, deputy chief engineers and department directors who are in charge of business. Actually, that's not bad......

"Secretary Zhao, what instructions do you have?" Tao Tang turned his face to look at Zhao Qingmin.

"I agree with Mr. Tao's arrangement of the three tasks just now, especially the issue of indicators. Comrades, in the current situation of the company, we must pay special attention to unity, unity can have strength. I am engaged in party affairs and am not so familiar with the business situation, but I put forward a request, everyone must unite around Mr. Tao, must maintain the authority of the general manager in management, and do our best for the completion of this year's indicators. ”

"Chairman Guo?"

"I don't have any other opinions." Since the beginning of the meeting, Guo Tao's face has been gloomy.

"Okay. Finally, a few trivia. The first is the issue of children's employment. On the first day I came to the factory, I received a letter and visit, and two workers reported that the company had some problems in recruiting college students into the factory...... Tao Tang briefly talked about the problems that Zhang Rong and Wu Guisheng had reflected, "because I didn't investigate and research, it was not easy to express my position, and I couldn't decide anything." However, personnel issues are related to the will of the people and should not be taken lightly. I have already communicated with Vice President Liu about this matter last week, and my opinion is that I must give an answer to those two workers. If the company strictly enforces the policy, explain it to them clearly. If the company does deviate from the implementation policy, it should also have the courage to admit the mistake and come up with a specific opinion as soon as possible. I promised to give the two workers a responsible answer by Friday. Vice President Liu, I will ask you to organize relevant departments to study this matter, do you have any results? ”

"Yes, I was supposed to report to you at work in the afternoon, but you went to the workshop."

"Okay, we'll talk after the meeting. Comrades, the return of children to the factory for employment is an issue worthy of attention. Six or seven million college students graduate every year in the country, and some people say that graduation means unemployment, although it is somewhat excessive, but it reflects the grim employment situation. What about us? Isn't it unreasonable to recruit a large number of temporary workers on the one hand, and turn away a large number of college students on the other? Can we change some of the old methods, can college students go to the front line? For example, the operation of CNC machine tools, they must be better than migrant workers, and they are better than technical school students, right? The key is the issue of treatment. If you don't adjust the salary, some positions will not be attractive. This issue should be studied as soon as possible, and Vice President Liu should take the lead and get something out as soon as possible. ”

"I agree in principle. This opinion is good. Zhao Qingmin nodded.

"Another is the death of a plumber at a power company last week due to a demolition conflict. This incident really has little to do with the company's operation, and people died outside the factory. But the deceased was a regular employee of the company. In the event of a weak position, we must care, otherwise how to reflect the existence of the company? My opinion is that the Legal Office should intervene and give full legal assistance to her widow. I met with Mr. Tang Yikun from East Lake on Saturday and told him about it, and he said he would be concerned. The Legal Affairs Office should send people to contact Donghu to strive for a proper solution. If a judicial dispute is involved, the Legal Affairs Office should actively intervene. Do you all agree? ”

"Mr. Tao, this opening is open, will there be sequelae?" Guo Tao said, "I personally sympathize with the deceased, but there are many personal cases involving property disputes, what if they all come to the company for help?" ”

"Secretary Zhao, what do you think?" Tao Tang looked at Zhao Qingmin.

"In principle, I agree with the involvement of the Legal Office. But what Chairman Guo said is also true, and we cannot ignore the follow-up issues. Can the trade union come forward and give some subsidies to the family members in one go? Zhao Qingmin said.

"What about the other comrades?" Tao Tang asked.

It seems to feel the disagreement between the first and second leaders, and the vice presidents don't take a stand.

"I agree with Mr. Tao." Qiu Lin, who ranked last, saw that the vice presidents were not angry, and said, "Only if we treat the employees as family, the employees will regard the company as their home." ”

"That's it. Actually, I'm talking about attitude. In fact, this matter is more of a technical problem, and the legal office is engaged in legal research, and what we give to employees can only be legal help, and we still rely on the law. Of course, it would be good if Donghu Industrial could calm the grievances of the deceased's family, so there would be no need for a lawsuit. ”

"I agree with Mr. Tao." Zhao Qingmin said to Chang Wenhai, "Chairman Chang, you are in charge of the Legal Office, and immediately after the meeting, it will be implemented according to General Tao's instructions." ”

Chang Wenhai nodded.

Tao Tang coughed lightly, "Comrades, this is the end of the agenda for today's meeting. The General Manager's Office formed a summary and sent it out. Tao Tang turned his head to explain to Zhang Xingwu, who was sitting behind him, and then said, "Except for the more important issue of indicators, the rest of the things, including the launch of the Ancuo plan, are not very important. Today, comrades from the Organization Department have been invited to attend as observers in order to strengthen the management and assessment of middle-level cadres. From my personal experience, the middle level is very critical in any level of organization, especially in enterprises. In particular, the middle-level party and government leaders can almost decide the success or failure of the cause. Some decisions at the top cannot be implemented well, and the problem often lies in the middle level, which is often said to be a problem of weak execution. The situation we face is so dire that we must maximize our implementation. The day before yesterday, I went to the following to transfer a few units that worked overtime, the third branch factory, the seventh branch factory, as well as the ninth branch factory and the thirteenth branch factory, and found a phenomenon: only a few units have middle-level cadres to follow and lead the team, and most of the middle-level units of overtime units are not on duty. How can this be? Mr. Ma," Tao Tang asked Ma Guangming, who was in charge of production, "Does the company allow this situation?" ”

"There is indeed a rule for leading classes...... Ma Guangming said in a low voice, "The implementation is not good, I will review ......"

"The masses are working overtime, but the leaders are slipping away, how can they do a good job? This morning, I read from the Ministry of Development and Regulation the letter of responsibility signed at the beginning of the year with the principal party and government officials at the grassroots level, and I believe that there is a lack of accountability. We put them in their current positions so that they can complete their tasks creatively, not to be the president of the maintenance committee, and not to simply shout about difficulties. In that case, what do we want them to do? When a microphone? Therefore, I propose that the organizational department should study this problem, come up with a few articles, and link the completion of the target with the salary at the middle level, especially the position, and strictly link it. Secretary Zhao, Chairman Guo, leaders, what do you think? ”

"I look good. So be it. It is absolutely necessary to strengthen the management of the middle-level team, and Mr. Tao sees the problem very accurately. However, the stakes are very high, and after the organization department forms an opinion, it will be studied and discussed at the meeting and then issued in writing. Zhao Qingmin said.

"Of course, it must be studied by the team, and it must be true to its word." Tao Tang nodded.

"Let me say a few words," Li Luo said, "I completely agree with Mr. Tao's idea of strengthening the management and construction of the middle-level team, especially in the current situation, which is very necessary." I heard about something last night, and I think other leaders have heard about it too, but of course, I just heard about it, and I think I should mention it here when it comes to the image of middle-level cadres......"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qingmin frowned.

"Han Ruilin, deputy director of the Legal Office, was blocked in the house by someone for messing with the relationship between men and women, just yesterday. At that time, many family members of employees were at the scene...... Li Luo said calmly, "the impact was very bad, even though the other party was a widow." Isn't this a discrediting of the image of the mid-level team? ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Qingmin raised his voice and looked at Chang Wenhai.

Chang Wenhai secretly scolded Li Luo, you don't have to trouble Lao Tzu with Tao Tang, right? I didn't mess with you! What's more, when did this kind of rotten thing ever happen? If you can't take care of serious things, how can you have the energy to take care of that little thing in your crotch?

"I also heard about it, because I didn't have time to verify, so I didn't mention it at the meeting, and besides, today is the general manager's office meeting, and the topic is also inconsistent, so I didn't talk about ......it."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Deputy Secretary Chang got the situation right first, what is going on? Then let's look at how to deal with it. Tao Tang said calmly, "Vice President Li is right, if the situation is true, it is to discredit the company." If nothing else, the meeting is adjourned. By the way, Vice President Liu and Director Pan will stay for a while, and we will talk about the recruitment of college students. ”

Tao Tang's first general manager's office meeting lasted one hour and fifty minutes, and finally ended.
