Chapter 57: Heart-to-Heart II
Not long after talking to Zhao Qingmin, Guo Tao came to the door, and Tao Tang had a deep talk with the nominal third-in-command. The reason why Guo Tao is the nominal third-in-command is because in terms of real power, he is not as good as Li, Han, Luo, or even Liu Xiuyun.
Guo Tao came to Xiaozhao at half past nine in the evening, when the chief accountant Han Zhiyong was there. Seeing Guo Tao coming, Han Zhiyong got up and said goodbye, he said to Guo Tao, "I am reporting the audit results to President Tao, and Chairman Guo will definitely have something important to do, so I won't disturb the two leaders." ”
"The results of the audit are out?" Guo Tao is very concerned about this matter, because this audit is different from the normal outgoing audit, and the time is shorter than Guo Tao expected.
"The preliminary is out...... Some situations need to be reported to Mr. Tao in advance...... Before finalizing the draft, the audit team must ventilate to the two leaders...... "It happened that Han Zhiyong was a little embarrassed to meet Guo Tao, and he had the responsibility to report to the chairman of the board of supervisors for this important audit report, and it should be before reporting to Tao Tang." Because he never took the board of supervisors seriously, Han Zhiyong habitually omitted this due procedure.
It is said that the audit team of the headquarters should be received by the board of supervisors, and it is also because of habit that Han Zhiyong will receive and organize the provision of the accounts and materials needed by the audit team this time.
"Oh......" Guo Tao didn't say much, shook hands with Han Zhiyong, and watched him leave.
"Bothering you so late didn't affect your rest, right?" Guo Tao sat down on the sofa, "Don't bother, I don't drink tea at night." He said to Tao Tang, who made tea for him.
"Make an exception, it's not that evil. Those who don't sleep well at our age are either too weak in physique or too much psychological pressure. I drink coffee a lot in the evenings and never have insomnia. ”
Since Tao Tang took office, Guo Tao is the first time to come to Tao Tang's temporary "nest". This is a luxury suite, the outer room is a reception room and study, the layout is different from when Song Yue was there, and the furniture has also changed, the original black leather sofa, now it is a light brown set.
"You don't seem to smoke?" Tao Tang watched Guo Tao play with the cigarette box on the coffee table.
"I don't smoke."
"Never, or later?"
"Never."
"I quit later. It's better to quit. ”
Guo Tao threw the box of soft China on the coffee table, "You should give a quit smoking order, look at the smoke rising in this room, how much Lao Han smoked......"
"Because I smoked, I understand the feelings of smokers." Tao Tang pushed the teacup towards Guo Tao, "I was thinking about talking to you, I have a heart." ”
"I went out for a walk, and when I saw the lights on in your house, I came up. What are the results of the audit? ”
Tao Tang smiled, "Then I have to criticize you." You are the chairman of the board of supervisors, so you should be the first to know the situation. Moreover, the audit department is the department you are in charge of. ”
Tao Tang's job is the chairman, and he is the top supervisor of the state-owned assets of Red Star, and he really has a reason to say that Guo Tao is so important.
"You're right. I accept. Guo Tao sighed, "First, I don't have enough financial knowledge, and second, I say that I am in charge of the audit department, but it is just a false name, and the business is still in charge of Lao Han." ”
"How can this be? How can the audit department and the finance department merge together? Isn't this a cat and mouse in the same cage? Tao Tang was surprised. I couldn't help but feel contempt for Guo Tao in my heart.
"Mr. Tao, this is what I want to tell you......"
"Wait, before I get to the point, let me briefly paraphrase Han Zhiyong's report. The audit team believes that Red Star has a serious potential deficit problem, and the amount is staggering. I'm a little worried about what to do......"
"How many?"
"It's estimated that it's no less than 800 million!"
"So many?" Guo Tao was taken aback, "It seems that I should also make a resignation report." ”
"Comrade Guo Tao!" Tao Tang Zhengse said, "Everyone has resigned, who will do the work?" Well? You are an old comrade, and you have a good reputation in Red Star. What we need to do now is how to recover our losses, not to resign! The audit team has not yet exchanged views with me, and I cannot rush this, so I can only wait. According to Mr. Han, the potential losses are mainly concentrated in the two areas of inventory and foreign investment, and in addition, there are many loopholes in management, some of which are very serious......"
"Han Zhiyong also bears a lot of responsibility. If it weren't for this result, he wouldn't have reported it to you! Guo Tao said indignantly.
"Lao Guo, I don't want to talk about responsibility first. At least not now. I think it's better to leave the responsibility to the superiors. What we need to do is to make efforts to reduce and recover the loss of state-owned assets. More important than that is to lead the company out of trouble. That's what we do. To do a good job in Red Star, the key is in our team, and the most important thing is us, you, Lao Zhao, and me. Now I feel very confused, Lao Zhao seems to have no fighting spirit, what about you, pay more attention to the Red Star ** issue, there is nothing wrong with this, you are still the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Comrade Guo Tao, I have always wanted to talk to you, you said that the stability of Red Star is a top priority, is its original intention to deepen the anti-corruption, or to temporarily slow down the investigation? Let the two-level leaders involved in the Yang Song case settle down? ”
This is a very damning statement.
Guo Tao became anxious when he heard this, "Comrade Tao Tang, I swear by the party spirit and personality that I, Guo Tao, may have negligence and dereliction of duty, but there is absolutely no problem of corruption!" I solemnly declare that you can organize an investigation into me, even if I have a dollar that comes from the wrong source, and I am willing to accept any punishment from the organization. ”
"It's not appropriate for you to say that. First, I can't organize an investigation into you; Second, what Red Star needs is a conscientious chairman of the board of supervisors and the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, not people who are eager to get rid of themselves. Tao Tang was unceremonious.
Guo Tao was panting heavily, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Comrade Guo Tao, my experience has taught me a lot, in a special environment, some positions are indeed difficult to play their due role, such as you, the chairman of the board of supervisors and secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Now that the people who obstructed your role have been investigated by the organization and punished by party discipline and the law, there is no point in talking about the past. The problems disclosed in the audit report had been anticipated by the leaders of the headquarters and were not an unexpected situation. There are two current leaders of the company who have problems, and one of them is the main person in charge, and it is incredible that the company has no financial problems. Now what I'm going to say is, what are we going to do in the future? I think there are many ways, but it's not a resignation. Comrade Guo Tao, my work in Shengdong has been fully affirmed by the headquarters, but I reflect that there are many mistakes in the work in Shengdong, the most serious mistake is in the employment of personnel, I proposed the transfer and dismissal of three company leaders in Shengdong, and the removal of nearly 100 middle-level people, this approach seems to be happy, and the sequelae are very great. For example, now, you, Lao Zhao, are the old leaders of Red Star, and you know much more about Red Star than I do. Can the three main persons in charge who don't know anything about the company be able to call the pulse of the red star? Fooling around. ”
Guo Tao rubbed his cheeks, "What you criticize is." It's me who cherishes feathers too much. ”
"What's next? It's up to you two. I had a heart-to-heart conversation with Secretary Zhao two days ago, saying that as long as the three of us work together and keep the same pace, there will be no major problems in the team. If the team is stable, the middle level will be stable, and the middle level will be stable, and the employees will not be chaotic. We say that everything depends on the staff, but the specific work still depends on the organization. You can't let your employees manage themselves, can you? That's the biggest irresponsibility. Chairman Guo, I think so, first of all, the three of us must take our own responsibilities under the overall goal, and we can no longer follow Song Yue's old path and harm others and ourselves. I am in charge of business, Lao Zhao is in charge of party affairs, organization and publicity, and you are in charge of supervision and discipline. Isn't this a perfect match? What is the current overall goal? It is to find ways to promote the operation and complete the business indicators. Otherwise, if the business collapses, what is the use of us rectifying the cadre team again? Therefore, business is the overall situation, and other work can only obey this overall situation for the time being, and cannot be abandoned. I by no means mean that we do not need supervision, discipline or party building, on the contrary, these are important prerequisites for us to do a good job in management. Facts have proved that Song Yue always wants to engage in Yiyantang, party affairs, supervision and discipline inspection are barren, the business is collapsed, the team is divided, and he has not realized Yiyantang, so Li Luo will not buy his account. So, we can't afford to make this mistake again under any circumstances. Song Yue is mainly responsible for the past problems, and Lao Zhao, as well as you, should also be held responsible. In the future, the responsibility will be borne by the three of us, and it is not good to blame others if something goes wrong. I really hope that Red Star will never come out of Yang Song again, whether it will work or not, it depends on how the three of us do. From now on, Lao Zhao must vigorously grasp the propaganda of party building, and you must rebuild the supervision system, and I will work hard to grasp the operation. It's true that I'm the squad leader, but I also have to accept your supervision, and the board of supervisors has the right to understand and supervise every aspect of the operation. I'm not highly conscious, I'm doing it for my good, if Lao Song had this awareness, he wouldn't be subject to two rules. ”
Tao Tang spoke very sincerely, at least Guo Tao sounded like this, "Mr. Tao, I am very moved and ashamed of what you said...... You're right, and I couldn't agree more. ”
Tao Tang smiled, "I have a basic judgment, under the current product structure, the company's scale is absolutely not 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000......00000000000000000000 So, no question can impact this big goal, and I think that's the biggest politics of Red Star! Let me make it clearer, even if a certain team member has serious disciplinary problems, if he is involved in the completion of business objectives, we must let it go first, even for Comrade Feng Shizhao, I have this attitude. Of course, this cannot be said publicly, but only to you and Secretary Zhao. ”
Tao Tang was thinking to himself when he said this, to hell with it, the fastest thing to achieve is to kill people! Take off the black gauze hats of one or two heavyweights, and the situation immediately comes alive! But he will not be like in Shengdong Company, and the choice of breakthrough is very critical......
"I understand. You're right, I have a lot of responsibility. But ......"
"The great thing about dialectics is that you can never look at problems from one side." Tao Tang smiled, "No problem can be absolute, right?" If there are people who ignore the overall situation and regard party discipline, state law and the company's system as nothing, then we have no choice, we will investigate when we should investigate, and withdraw when we should remove. Actually, it's okay to leave anyone, it's not a big deal. I have never believed in evil, in the past, there was a vice president in Shengdong who was very awesome, and I always felt that it was not good to leave him, but as a result, hehe, as the saying goes, the slaughterer Zhang died and did not eat hairy pigs. Not only did the work not be affected, but it was better...... Chairman Guo, I want to talk to you about the problem of cadre management, I talked about it at the meeting a few days ago, it is a topic, I also talked to the secretary, the general feeling is that there is a big problem in the style of our factory cadres, this questionnaire also reflects the focus, you must take the time to look at those papers...... How to change the style of cadres? It is not possible to grasp the big and transformed land. The central government's eight-point regulations and rectification of the four winds are very concrete, so we don't have to wait for the headquarters, we can try to move first, I think we will not make mistakes or detours in this way...... Under the general requirements of the central authorities, party committees and discipline inspection commissions should issue a number of targeted, concrete, and highly operational regulations, and implement a few or more dozen of them, so as to impose rigid restraints on the leading bodies at the two levels, not only within eight hours, but also beyond eight hours...... I've noticed that the guest house is constantly serving dinner all day long, is there anything I shouldn't eat? It's hard to say. Employees are most annoyed by this, so we might as well start from this aspect and make it mandatory to formulate a few articles, so that employees can see our sincerity and changes, so as to boost their confidence in the team......"
"We've thought of it together!" Guo Tao has always hated eating and drinking at public expense, he is too tough in this regard, and among the team members, his business entertainment expenses are the least, so he immediately responded, "Mr. Tao, it will be easy to do with your support." In the past, it was always said that hospitality is also productivity, which is just nonsense. But what can we do if we are like that? I mentioned it at the meeting, but no one responded. ”
"Let's set up a system first, it's not easy to manage without a system. In addition to stopping the wind of eating and drinking, I hope you will take the lead in organizing the audit department, the finance department and other units to conduct an inventory of the company's secondary units, one to revitalize the inventory, relieve the pressure of funds, and the other to find and plug the loopholes in management......"
"Okay. I organize as soon as possible. ”
Tao Tang and Guo Tao's conversation went on late. Different from Zhao Qingmin's conversation, Tao Tang is more about assigning tasks. Guo Tao's attitude is relatively positive and fully responds. Tao Tang felt that Guo Tao still wanted to do something. He has been in the factory for more than half a month, and he has not heard any rumors about Guo Tao**, which is the premise of his reliance on Guo Tao. But he felt that the chairman of the supervisory board was a bit "empty" and that his prestige was not high. Probably his "emptiness" is the reason for his low prestige. In fact, Zhao Qingmin is the same. Tao Tang's biggest headache at the moment is that he doesn't have a very effective assistant, but this one can't be rushed.
