Chapter 226 Board I

On January 2, 2014, Red Star held an expanded board of directors and a package for the reform of research institutions.

In accordance with the Articles of Association, the establishment and abolition of the organization shall be decided by the Board of Directors. In 2000, when the group of Red Star Machinery Factory was Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Company, the company's major power was concentrated in the board of directors, and for a time, the special committees under the board of directors, such as the personnel and nomination committee, the remuneration committee and other institutions were overpowered, and the general manager's management rights were almost deprived, and many business departments were hollowed out. This is also the position of chairman and general manager of the top leader of Red Star Company since the company system restructuring, which is different from the chairman and secretary of the party committee of other central enterprises. After gradual standardization, the special committees under the board of directors were abolished one after another, and they were returned to various business departments. Because the chairman of the board of directors is also the general manager, the board of directors and the general manager's office meeting are the two main decision-making bodies of the company, and it is often difficult to distinguish the difference.

Tao Tang noticed the unreasonableness of the chairman and general manager when he worked in the political research office of the brilliant headquarters, and submitted a special report to the party group, Feng Shizhao agreed with Tao Tang's opinion, but changing the status quo of the group's affiliated enterprises is not a document that can be solved. The Group had already initiated work to change this unreasonable distribution of powers.

This is off topic. But the articles of association are the great laws of the enterprise, and you must do what it says, even if you are acting like it. This is called procedural justice.

But there is a difference, because it is a board of directors meeting, and the company leaders who are not directors do not have the right to vote. Even Guo Tao, chairman of the board of supervisors and the company's No. 3 person, also attended.

There are seven members of the current board of directors of Red Star Company: Tao Tang, Zhao Qingmin, Li Luo, Jiang Shangyun, Han Zhiyong, Luo Chong, and Zhang Hongli. Among them, Zhang Hongli is an employee director. Luo Chong collapsed, and the group did not replenish the board of directors, and it was these six people who had the right to vote.

Lu Qi, who attended the meeting as an observer and first explained the organizational adjustment plan, knew that there would be controversy over the abolition and merger of several offices, but it would not be particularly intense, and as long as specific personnel were not involved, the company's leaders would not raise fierce objections. But when it comes to the establishment of the four branches, Li Luo will definitely jump out against it! But as long as he followed the procedure, Li Luo couldn't even find an ally, and he voted against eight to one vote. Because among the six directors, Han Zhiyong is the one who agrees, Jiang Shangyun has always stood with the chairman, even if Zhao Qingmin has different opinions, he will not fight with Tao Tang on such a formal occasion, Zhang Hongli is not even more insignificant, and he does not dare to oppose the opinions of the top leader with ten dares.

There should be no problem in adopting this plan. The problem is that the abolition and merger of institutions have brought about not only huge changes in personnel, but also changes in mechanisms. Is this change really appropriate?

The meeting was held on time at 9 o'clock in the morning, and Tao Tang, who presided over the meeting, made a brief opening speech.

"Comrades, today we are meeting an enlarged board of directors with only one agenda item, and that is to discuss the organizational reform of the research company. Needless to say, our current organization is rather bloated and has overlapping functions, which leads to prevarication and overcrowding. Streamlining and reducing the organization is the trend of the times, and there is complete unanimity of opinion in this regard. Previously, the draft of the institutional reform of the Ministry of Development and Planning solicited the opinions of two rounds of company leaders, and the draft was changed three times. On our days off, we will discuss this option. At present, there is a lot of discussion on institutional reform, and there is no consensus on it, and this matter must be settled as soon as possible and cannot be delayed. In the middle of the year, the group will hold an annual work meeting, and the indicators of the company's new business year will be clear...... If we don't get the organization done well first, we won't be able to make personnel adjustments, and it will be difficult to sign next year's letter of responsibility. One link is one ring, and the first thing to solve is the buckle of the institution. Okay, let's ask the Ministry of Development and Regulation to report on the draft. ”

Lu Qi first talked about the first part of the plan -- the plan for the abolition and merger of some organs and organs.

In Lu Qi's plan, the units that were abolished were: the Political Research Office, which was merged into the General Manager's Office; Ministry of Infrastructure - merged into Jian'an Company; Armed Forces - Merged into the Ministry of Defense; Staff Education Department - merged into the Human Resources Department. The organization, publicity, trade union, and youth league committee of the party committee were merged into the party and mass work department, of which the cadre management function of the organization department was transferred to the human resources department.

The units established are: Lean Management Department, whose business is spun off from the Production Management Department; The Audit Department, whose operations were spun off from the Supervision Department.

After Lu Qi finished explaining the business adjustment after the adjustment of the organization, Tao Tang said, "Let's discuss the stall of the organ first." Who's going to talk first? ”

"I'll talk about it first...... Li Luo was the first to speak, "Although streamlining the organs, reducing the organs, and improving efficiency are the directions, we must be cautious." I don't think it's appropriate to set up a Party and Mass Work Department at this time. Although some brother factories have already done this, we are a large factory, and we cannot compare with those small factories with two or three thousand people, and at a time when the company is facing a major transformation, merging the main departments of the party and the masses will undoubtedly weaken its strength. The trade union and the Youth League Committee usually seem to have nothing to do, but in fact they are responsible for the stability of the company and cannot be underestimated. Not to mention the Propaganda Department and the Organization Department, which have played a great role this year, and everyone has seen it. The relocation is about to start, and the burden on the Propaganda Department will be heavier, and it must not be merged! Not to mention the Organization Department, where are the party management cadres embodied? If the organization department is gone, how can the party committee manage the cadres? It is okay for the human resources department to undertake employee training, but it cannot hand over the assessment, appointment and dismissal of the middle cadres to it, and I will not talk about the reason, in a word, it is not appropriate. ”

Zhao Qingmin coughed, "It is my opinion to merge the party and mass departments. Previously, Mr. Tao and the permanent secretary both expressed opposing opinions from different angles...... The merger does not necessarily mean weakening the work of the party committees...... Mr. Li talked about the role of the Propaganda Department, and I have realized it. However, after the establishment of the Party and Mass Work Department, propaganda will be one of its main businesses, which can only be strengthened, not weakened. ”

"The brand is gone, how can it be strengthened?" Li Luo fought back sharply, "The Party and Mass Work Department can only be a minister, right?" Even if Comrade Cui Jian were to become the number one leader of the new department, I would be assuming, and it would be impossible for him to regard propaganda work as a top priority. All important means not important. Lao Zhao, I think it is irresponsible for you to put forward this plan, and it is even more irresponsible. As for the rest, I basically agree. ”

Lu Qi did not expect that the first part of the plan would cause a fierce debate. Thinking about it instead, I am still immature, and behind the institution are living people, real interests, and it is not normal to not have arguments. But Li Luo took the lead in firing at Zhao Qingmin, which surprised Lu Qi even more. Li Luo and Zhao Qingmin have always been incompatible, to put it bluntly, Li Luo looks down on Zhao Qingmin. But the plan of the Party and Mass Work Department was proposed by Zhao Qingmin, and Tao Tang pointed out whether it was too radical when he reviewed her plan for the first time? The Youth League Committee and the trade unions are just that, but the abolition of the Propaganda and Organization Department has indeed taken a big step. Lu Qi explained the reason for the plan to Tao Tang, and Tao Tang just smiled at the time and said that since Secretary Zhao mentioned it like this, you should keep it. In a few days, I will listen to the opinions of other leaders.

Lu Qi suddenly realized the smell of conspiracy. So she looked at Tao Tang, but Tao Tang didn't look at her, but at Chang Wenhai.

"Other comrades?" Tao Tang, who presided over the meeting, looked at Chang Wenhai. But Chang Wenhai bowed his head and was silent.

Guo Tao followed Li Luo's speech, but Guo Tao clearly agreed with this plan, "...... Reform is to follow a path that no one has taken before. At present, the organs are indeed bloated, and the opinions of the workers are very large. If you want me to say, the intensity is not big, but small! Try it, but if it doesn't work, change it back. ”

"Let me say a few words," Han Zhiyong said, "I basically agree with this plan." Several units can be abolished by the administrative department, and the strengthening of audit and lean management is also in line with the current situation. Although the final accounts have not yet come out, this year's profit target can be completed. This is an encouraging achievement, and in a sense more meaningful than achieving the revenue target. This result should be largely attributed to Mr. Tao's efforts to pay close attention to lean management, the establishment of an independent lean work department, and the separation of it from the production part, which will definitely play a greater role. Practice has proved that our potential is very great, and the waste is extremely serious, and the profits brought by plugging loopholes and eliminating waste are more meaningful than expanding the market and expanding production, which is also in line with the spirit of the central government that the central government has always advocated that economic development should change the traditional mode. However, Comrade Li Luo's concern about the establishment of the Party and Mass Work Department is justified, can you correct it? The Propaganda Department will not merge first? ”

"I agree with Mr. Han's opinion," Jiang Shangyun continued, "and under the current circumstances, it is better to retain the Propaganda Department." As for the Organization Department, I think it would be good to try it, because it would be good to have one power. At present, there is indeed a problem of overlapping functions between the human resources department and the organization department. ”

"Let me have a little opinion," Zhou Bing, who rarely spoke, said, "I agree with the compression of the management department, but the steps should not be too big." I don't agree with the abolition of the Ministry of Infrastructure, I have already written a written reason when Lu Qi asked for advice, and I will repeat it now. The Ministry of Infrastructure and the Construction and Security Company cannot simply merge, there is a relationship between management and management. The abolition of the Ministry of Infrastructure will weaken the company's work involving the 'three simultaneities' and infrastructure supervision in the future, and there will also be problems in safety. In addition, I think that the significance of setting up a separate lean management department is not great, and it is more appropriate to focus on lean management and put it in the production department. ”

Qiu Lin saw that Ma Guangming, Liu Xiuyun and Chang Wenhai were not angry, so he spoke, "Let me say a few words." I agree with Mr. Li's opinion. Political work and ideological work are our traditional strengths, and under the present circumstances, it is not appropriate to carry out major surgery on the party and the masses. In addition, it is worth studying whether the establishment of an audit department is appropriate. Supervision and audit are two fists that go hand in hand, and when they are separated, the business is separated. I don't have a problem with anything else. ”

The separation of internal audit from the oversight section is clearly intended for the next step in the preparation of the establishment of the branch. Everyone knows this.

"Comrade Zhang Hongli," Tao Tang nodded, "you are the only employee director, the board of directors does not hold much, and you do not have many opportunities to express your opinions." Now give me your opinion. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's wrong. They all look at the problem at the highest level of the company, but the voice of the grassroots is very important, I should listen, Secretary Zhao and other leaders should listen, you can talk about it. ”

Zhang Hongli, who was around fifty years old and had thick curly hair, blushed, "I really can't say it...... Since Mr. Tao wants me to speak, I will say a few words, if I say something wrong, the leaders will criticize it......"

Zhao Qingmin said with a smile, "Lao Zhang, you are a formally appointed director of the group and a member of the company's highest management body. If you want to lead, you are the leader. It doesn't matter, you just say it. ”

"First of all, I am in favor of streamlining the organization. I often hear workers complaining that there are so many cadres sitting in the three office buildings that they don't know what to do every day......

Everyone laughed. Tao Tang also smiled, "This complaint is interesting. Lao Zhang: How did you explain it to them? ”

"What can I explain? Because I don't know either. And, because I was paid a good salary, they always felt that I was not the same as them, even though I never left the workshop...... But I believe that Mr. Tao's approach is right, since this year, many places have changed, the workers said that the cadres have changed a lot, the noon drinking is basically gone, leaving the workshop does not know where to go is less, the management of the workshop is much stricter, the on-site management is strict, the waste products are also a lot less, the workers have the enthusiasm to put forward reasonable suggestions, and everyone's energy is much higher than the original. Especially after the arrest of corrupt elements, everyone feels that there is hope for the company...... Reform should be carried out, and there is hope for reform! (To be continued.) )
