Chapter 59 Relationship I
"Let's talk about the functions of your hair regulation department first," Tao Tang made a cup of Longjing for Lu Qi and sat opposite Lu Qi, "Tea is the real Ming Dynasty, but the water is not good, not as good as Binjiang." The taste will be a little worse. ”
"I have no research on tea...... Sounds like you're very expert......" Lu Qi wants to talk more about life than boring work, but there is no way, she can't lead the conversation with Tao Tang.
"I learned from a roommate in college, and that's what people call it deep. But drinking tea is one of my hobbies, I'll admit it. ”
"What other hobbies do you have besides drinking tea? Study? I remember you used to peek at novels back then. ”
"Haha, you too. I remember you read a novel, what is the title of the book, "Bitter Fight", right? was confiscated by Teacher Fu ......"
He remembers...... Teacher Fu is a Chinese teacher, a very knowledgeable and strict old lady, who is very partial to Tao Tang, because Tao Tang's Chinese grades were absolutely second to none in the class at that time......
"What else do you say...... Teacher Fu is partial to you, she doesn't care if you read idle books, I can't do it......" Since understanding Tao Tang's intentions, Lu Qi has fallen into a panic and depression that he has never felt before, and the scene of sharing the table with Tao Tang has become clearer and clearer in his memory, and his heart is like a mouse biting.
"Haha, Teacher Fu is very good to me. Let's not talk about that, let's get down to business, it's not too early. Tao Tang looked at his watch, "Whether it is the Hair Planning Department or the Planning Department, it is generally the most important management department of the enterprise, and it represents the company's leader, which is different from other departments." But I have found, or rather feel, that there are some problems with the current functional setting of your department, which is roughly divided into two parts, one is enterprise management, and most of them are those that you are in charge of...... Add annual and quarterly plans. The other piece is planning and projects, am I right? ”
"These are the two major responsibilities of the Planning Department."
"But I noticed that Liu Xinjun is not familiar with business management, and he relies more on you, right?"
"Well, his energy is mostly on the planning and project side."
"Wouldn't it be better if the Hair Regulation Department was split into two departments?"
"How do you split it?" Lu Qi's heart jumped, and the disappointment brought to her by Tao Tang's change of topic just now disappeared.
"Set up an economic operation department to manage indicators and assessments. That's what I did in Shengdong. ”
"Will it weaken the authority of the department? In particular, the mandate for coordination? You must know that the authority of the Issuance and Regulation Department relies more on the right to assess......"
"Other departments can operate, and the development and regulation department can also operate after taking out the enterprise management. I'm thinking about it from my standpoint. Indicator setting and assessment are the most important things at the moment, and it is not in my interest to be pressed under the planning project. Tao Tang smiled, "Do you think about it?" ”
"Maybe......" Lu Qi somewhat understood Tao Tang's thoughts.
In addition, the functions of the Policy Research Office and the Ministry of Development and Planning also overlap, and the medium- and long-term planning of the Ministry of Development and Planning itself has the content of macro policy research. Isn't it? In addition, the Policy Research Office also undertakes some functions of the Development and Planning Department, such as the relocation issue, which everyone is concerned about. For example, the problem of the steel pipe factory this time was handed over to your two departments, which is to take into account the actual situation, but this is definitely not right. I think it would have been smoother if the Policy Research Office had been merged into the Department of Development and Regulation. ”
"Then a department is going to be abolished."
"I know that the establishment of the political research office of a large enterprise has been required by the headquarters in this regard, but now it seems that the actual operation of the political research office of each enterprise is not necessarily as the leaders of the headquarters think, and I should have the right to speak. It's not a good thing to have more institutions, it has always been. ”
Lu Qi thinks that behind every institutional adjustment, there is actually a personnel game. But if Tao Tang really decides like this, Liu Xinjun's position will be dangerous, because Sheng Guangyun's position is not below Liu Xinjun, but trust is still above. What was Tao Tang's idea?
Tao Tang saw that Lu Qi was deep in thought, and continued, "If the Economic Operation Department is established, I want you to do it. Lu Qi, I'm not nepotism, because you are the most suitable. Of course, this is just an idea of mine, and I haven't told anyone...... Let's go back to the practical question, do you have a unified opinion on the proposal of East Lake? ”
Lu Qi tried hard to suppress his thoughts about the "Economic and Transportation Department", "There was a meeting, which was presided over by Director Sheng, and Liu Shulin of the Marketing Department also participated. Because everyone didn't know anything about the steel pipe factory, and the marketing department couldn't explain the potential of the market, nothing was decided. Yesterday, Director Sheng and two assistants Liu went to the development zone together, you should know, right? ”
"Yes." Of course, they have to ask for instructions when they leave the factory.
"And you still ask me?"
"Haha, I wanted to ask you what you think about this." Lu Qi's demeanor when he asked rhetorically just now made Tao Tang's heart tremble, as if he had returned to more than twenty years ago, and he was still at the beautiful and delicate lesbian table in front of him.
"To be honest, I don't understand. Because I didn't care about it, I didn't think about it. ”
"The layman's intuition is sometimes accurate. The basic situation of the steel pipe factory has been passed on, have you seen it? ”
"Director Sheng read it twice at the meeting, and I wrote it down."
"With intuition, you can tell me now, good or bad?"
"It's all about ...... people"
"Just say it's good or not."
"Do you have to say it?"
"I have to say."
"I think it's good."
"Why?"
"You're so domineering. Don't you want me to be intuitive? Why do you ask why? ”
"Behind intuition is logical reasoning. After making a judgment, reasoning will emerge. ”
"I'm not as smart as you. I can't find the corresponding logic...... Isn't it good to give a factory for nothing, and there is a potential increase in market share? ”
"When deciding something, you need to think from the other person's point of view. Why did Donghu Machinery give us a factory? Because the steel pipe factory is struggling? In fact, many enterprises of East Lake Machinery are similar to pipe steel mills, and solving one steel pipe plant will not help reverse the entire East Lake Machinery. I have been in contact with Tang Yikun twice, and I admit that he has brains, for example, he has done a good job in integrating East Lake Industrial Group. You see, he formed three large companies that were independent of each other, not only according to the division of business, but also according to efficiency. In particular, he used a Donghu machinery to unify a large number of small companies, which is very interesting...... In fact, this idea is worth learning from, our current product line is too messy......"
"What about you? Are you in favor of receiving? After all that, how come I can't hear what leadership means? Lu Qi asked rhetorically.
"Haha, how can it be so easy for you to guess my thoughts?" Since Lu Qi was joking, Tao Tang also replied, "Although the other party handed over the zero word, it is actually a foreign investment." Tao Tang's face became serious, "This time, the audit team of the headquarters is more detailed, and there is a relatively serious potential loss in Red Star, so it is estimated that the headquarters will have a headache...... A large part of this is due to foreign investment. Are you familiar with this aspect? ”
"Basically unfamiliar...... As far as the current division of labor in our ministry is concerned, Assistant Liu personally manages the foreign investment, and Duan Hui is very little in charge......"
"There are mainly two pieces, one is in Zhizhou, and Zhizhou Iron and Steel has a joint venture company to produce railway wagons, with an investment of 350 million, which has not yet been officially put into production. The second is in Xiqin, a joint venture with Xiqin Automobile to build a heavy-duty vehicle gearbox, with an investment of 420 million. Right? ”
"Yes. Both projects were approved by Yanjing. Lu Qi thought, it is estimated that Liu Xinjun or Luo Chong reported to him, or he had already done it before he came.
seemed to see through Lu Qi's thoughts, "I wasn't at the headquarters at that time...... But now it seems that there are some problems with both projects. Recently, Luo Chong reported to me once, and it is not easy to conclude that it has failed, but after three or four years, the situation is not as predicted in the feasibility study report, one is that the construction has been delayed, and all will be completed at least after 2015, and the second is that investment needs to be added, especially the gearbox project. The third is that there is too much optimism about technology and market estimates, and a whole number of problems have now been exposed, both technical and market. Finally, there is the battle for control. The gearbox is okay, Zhizhou is 50% of the shares, such a cooperation is not without precedent, but there are not many successes...... Now it seems that even if the two projects are completed and put into production, the payback period is by no means the six years predicted in the feasibility report! At least for more than a decade, there are many variables...... In this way, the company will be burdened with a heavy burden, not to mention the financial expenses, and the depreciation expenses after consolidation in the future will be unbearable for me......
"I said, leader, it doesn't seem to make sense for you to tell me this, right? It's you, you don't have to have a headache about this messy account, right? They can't hold you responsible, can they? ”
"I'm sitting in this chair, and I'm going to have to be responsible. 800 million small, how big is a pile of 100 yuan bills? ”
"I attended the initial debate. At that time, Duan Hui went to Zhizhou, and I temporarily managed it for a while, but in fact, what did I do, and Assistant Liu personally took care of it...... At that time, the headquarters put forward a request for Red Star to reach 18 billion at the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan and strive to exceed 20 billion. It's a lot of pressure on the company, and it's exciting. So I looked for a project, and at that time I kept shouting about the re-emancipation of the mind...... To be fair, it was not Red Star that contributed to these two projects, but Yanjing. ”
But the thinking of the headquarters has changed, especially after Mr. Feng took over Mr. An. Scale is no longer the first indicator, he pays more attention to efficiency, more attention to cash flow and profits. I think Feng Dong's business ideas are correct, just like our Red Star, it doesn't matter how big the scale is, the key is whether there is sufficient cash in hand. Otherwise, I won't have to do anything else, and I'll be tied to death just because of the financial problem......"
"But I think you value scale." Lu Qi looked directly into Tao Tang's eyes. Before, she didn't have the opportunity to talk about work like a friend with the company's top executive......
"Yes. That's because with our current product structure, the existing scale is not good, and it can't take away the cost. But how can it be improved? But there is a different path. In this regard, Mr. Feng and I are more consistent in our thinking, paying more attention to the internal management of the enterprise, and paying attention to the elimination of waste and the improvement of efficiency. I'd like to have a meeting before the holidays and focus on lean management ......"
Lu Qi felt that Tao Tang's thoughts were jumping very fast, starting from the tube steel mill, and running farther and farther......
Tao Tang continued, "Tang Yikun should have a big plan...... He was going to play two games of chess at the same time, one against Pingquan New Town and the other with Donghu Machinery. These two games of chess involve us, and it is difficult for me to make decisions before I have figured out Tang Yikun's chess moves. Adding a few hundred people isn't a big deal, but what about the follow-up? Will we get more and more caught up in the East Lake chess game? ”
"How so? I don't think Tang Yikun will be your opponent. ”
"Haha, you're overestimating me. I am in a different system from him, and my thinking habits are destined to be different, in fact, I am by no means Tang Yikun's opponent. Okay, let's not talk about that. You should ponder the problem of the Ministry of Economic Transportation. ”
"I'm afraid I can't carry that burden."
"Absolutely. Lv Qi, I want to talk about a habit of thinking, don't put yourself in it first, but stay out of the situation to consider the problem, first figure out whether the dismantling of the distribution department is beneficial or unfavorable to the company at this stage? As for ability, you don't have a full-time job, how can you have full-time experience? It's the same for everyone. And, according to my observations during this time, you are good, very good, and the best one in our class. ”
"Don't be sarcastic......"
"I'm telling the truth. By the way, Sun Dunquan and I went to Xu Deyu's house that day...... It's hard to feel sick. I didn't expect Xu Deguang's only relative to have a bad life, very bad. How so? It's a bit of a time travel, as if you've stepped back in time twenty years ago. Are you acquainted with her? ”
"It's pretty familiar, isn't it...... You're right. Deyu is just too closed. Especially after the death of his parents, it seems to be out of touch with the current world...... How did you remember to go to her house? ”
"Once I was out with Han Ruilin after work, and I happened to meet Xu Deyu. In fact, Sun Dunquan once told me about her, and he didn't care about it at the time. You may not know that when we had an accident at the Hiraisen Hotel, it was actually me who caused the trouble. Hurt Xu Deguang...... I have always felt guilty in my heart, and when I saw Xu Deyu like that, I felt even more uncomfortable......"
"Don't feel guilty. I've heard Sun Dunquan talk about that more than once, and I can't blame you all...... In addition, the older you get, the more idealistic you are, it's all fate. Lu Qi thought that Tao Tang was provoking a dispute for himself, and he had a different feeling in his heart.
"I don't believe in fate. If it's convenient, care more about Xu Deyu. It's a woman with a hard life. ”
"Look, you've also admitted your fate."
"By the way, I asked you to buy gifts to see Li Suyi, what about the invoice?"
"It's done. The words were brought, and the thing was bought, and there was no invoice. She is grateful for your care and help. ”
"Find an invoice that day. It is not only the friendship between classmates, but also the care of me, the general manager, for the employees, which can be reimbursed. By the way, that's done, right? I haven't had time to ask. ”
"Don't mention it. Su Yi couldn't swallow that breath, and he had to punish the murderer severely. And her family, including her in-laws, don't care about the murderer, but even more about the compensation. The other party insisted that Li Suyi sign an 'understanding agreement', they have a lot of energy, the public security has not caught the murderer, it is estimated that the other party has done the work...... It's still stiff, it's about to drive Su Yi crazy. ”
"If it is certain that the other party did not intentionally commit the murder but accidentally injured someone, it is not impossible to forgive......
"Don't talk about it, we can't help anymore. I've always wanted to ask you, but I don't know if it's the right fit......"
"Ask, what can't you say? I don't keep it a secret from you. Tao Tang stared at Lu Qi's beautiful big eyes, the years seemed to favor her, and she was still so beautiful......
"It's not business. Tao Tang, how did your wife die? I'm sorry, I just want to know. ”
Tao Tang sighed, "This matter...... It's been six years, it doesn't matter...... It was a car accident. During the Spring Festival holiday, she asked me to go with her to see one of her relatives, in the mountainous area of northern Hebei, I didn't go, and I had something to do to work overtime...... As a result, she drove alone, it snowed, the road was slippery, and she rushed up a slope only to find that there was a car accident in front, she couldn't stop the car, and hit the butt of the car in front, it doesn't matter, after the fact, the collision was not serious, but a heavy car behind couldn't brake, which was fatal. Three lives were lost in that accident...... What I regret is that if I had gone, maybe nothing would have happened. I would take the highway, but she relied on the road familiarity and took the provincial road......"
Seeing Tao Tang's painful expression, "I'm sorry, I reminded you of your sadness......"
"It's nothing, it's been six years, Xiaohe has grown into a big girl, she doesn't blame me anymore......"
"Tao Tang, you are still young, you should consider finding another one." Lu Qi finally said this sentence that had been held back for a long time.
"A lot of people have advised me like this, including my mother-in-law. But how can it be so easy? The older you get, the more practical you think about things. It's not suitable to find it, it's better to live alone, and in my case, I can't take care of my home, but fortunately, I'm used to it...... Oh, let's not talk about that, okay? ”
