For workers like Ye Yuancai, it is a happy thing that the factory was bought by an American company.

Jiang Shidian stopped work for more than half a year, and at first the workers thought that the Light Chemical Department should come to the rescue, but after waiting for such a long time, there were no specific measures from the Light Chemical Department. In fact, this can't be blamed on the Light Chemical Department, there are many enterprises like this kind of poor management, and the state finance can't come up with so much money to bail out. The most critical point is that in order to get Jiang Shidian back on his feet, it is not just a matter of injecting liquidity, but also needs to have a strong leader to manage it, and such leadership is still extremely scarce. Therefore, the attitude of the Light Chemical Department towards Jiang Shidian can only be to throw some money to raise it, and if you try to invest a huge amount of money to revitalize it, I am afraid that in the end all this money will be wasted.

Today, the workers left behind in the factory have been completely disappointed, they don't know what the future of the factory will be, most of them have the mentality of delaying one day at a time, and no one dares to think about what will happen in the end.

In this case, there were suddenly rumors that an American-funded company was planning to acquire Jiang Shidian, how could this not make Ye Yuancai feel happy?

Ye Yuancai is just an ordinary worker, he may have received some education such as "sense of responsibility", and he may have shouted the slogan "Down with US imperialism" in the early years, but all these big truths are floating clouds in the face of the pressure of survival. What he can think of now is that American companies must be very rich, and American companies are generally very good at running them, and if there is American capital to buy Jiang Shidian, Jiang Shidian should come back to life, and everyone's life should be greatly improved.

"Manager Lin, you mean that you helped contact this American-funded company?" Ye Yuancai asked Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua nodded and said, "Yes, the boss of this American-funded company is an overseas Chinese, and I happen to have some friendship with him." ”

Ye Yuancai said: "So, he agreed to buy our Jiang Shidian for the sake of your face, right?" Manager Lin, you are really the savior of our Jiangshi Electric employees. ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Master Ye is serious, after all, we are a system, in the past, the petrochemical machine and our Hanhua Machinery Factory were also considered brother units, you are in difficulty, how can we not reach out to help." ”

"Great, great." Ye Yuancai said in a loud voice, "Manager Lin, when will the Americans come to buy our factory?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "If it's fast, after the Lantern Festival, they should come to investigate." However, people did not say that they would definitely buy it, the Americans are very interest-oriented, and they have to see if Jiang Shidian has investment value before they can make a decision. ”

A gloomy cloud hit Ye Yuancai's face, he looked at Shen Jiale, then at Lin Zhenhua, and asked in surprise: "Manager Lin, what do you mean by investment value?" You came to me today, do you have something to tell me? ”

Of course, Ye Yuancai could guess that Lin Zhenhua came to his house and definitely did not come to pay New Year's greetings. In fact, an hour ago, Lin Zhenhua didn't know him at all, and he didn't know Lin Zhenhua. Lin Zhenhua came to Jiang Shidian on a day like the first day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings to a middle-level cadre like him, which must have a plan.

Lin Zhenhua just talked about the issue of investment value, that is to say, Jiang Shidian is now a piece of meat on the board, and people are thinking about which piece to cut to fry. As an employee of Jiang Shidian, Ye Yuancai felt some sadness and worry about this situation.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Master Ye, we are all understanding people, and there are some things that don't need to be detoured. What is the current situation of Jiang Shidian, you know it in your heart, and I also know it in my heart.

Investors are my friends, and I have to be responsible for my friends. Jiangshi Electric has a site, equipment, and technology in the hands of workers, which is the capital of our Jiangshi Power. However, the current atmosphere of Jiangshi Electric does not seem to be right, if foreign investors really come to invest, do you think they will be able to take over the factory smoothly? ”

Ye Yuancai shook his head and said, "I've seen enough." ”

"What, Master Ye has also considered this problem?" Lin Zhenhua was a little surprised, he originally thought that after he threw out this question, Ye Yuancai would have to think about it for a while, who would have thought that Ye Yuancai would give the answer directly.

Ye Yuancai replied: "Manager Lin, you may not know, Xiao Shen should know, I have been working in petrochemical machines for a long time, and I am very familiar with the factory." Xiao Shen's father, Master Shen Biao, was the first master to take me. "I've heard Xiao Shen say it. Lin Zhenhua said. He came to Ye Yuancai specifically today, and it was precisely because of this relationship. Shen Jiale told Lin Zhenhua that Ye Yuan was her father's apprentice, very capable and kind. Lin Zhenhua's purpose in finding Ye Yuancai was to pull him out to assist in the acquisition and digestion of Jiang Shidian.

Ye Yuancai said: "Later, I became the deputy manager of the installation company, and I am a middle-level cadre in the factory, and I also know some about the decision-making in the factory. In the past two years, the factory has been in the hands of Niu Beisheng, and it has become more and more chaotic, and I have seen it in my eyes. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I contracted this factory. ”

"What will happen?" Lin Zhenhua asked with interest.

Ye Yuancai said: "I have analyzed, if it was before Niu Beisheng contracted, I would have contracted, and it is estimated that the factory would not have decayed to what it is today." I can't do it, but at least I won't be as greedy as Niu Beisheng, and I won't pull so many cadres into the water. ”

When Shen Jiale heard this, her eyes drooped down slightly, and she thought that Jin Jianbo was also led to the evil path by Niu Beisheng, which is called the black of the ink. If Niu Beisheng hadn't contracted this factory, maybe everything would have been different.

Ye Yuancai didn't notice Shen Jiale's emotions, and he continued: "However, after Niu Beisheng was contracted, Jiang Shidian was already completely different. Now the atmosphere in the factory is very bad, and there are some lazy people who are very marketable. With these people here, even if I am asked to contract this factory now, I dare not say that I will be able to do a good job of the factory. Relationships are too complicated to handle. ”

"What do you mean by being lazy and lazy?" Lin Zhenhua asked tentatively.

Ye Yuancai hesitated for a moment and said: "There are several such people, let me say that it turns out that there is a worker in our workshop, his name is Sun Xiangyun, and he is still a little skilled, but it has changed in the past few years." For most of the year, the workers in the factory went to the Light Chemical Hall to sit in and ask for wages, and Sun Xiangyun led the way every time, and now there are dozens of dead friends around him, and no one dares to mess with him. ”

Lin Zhenhua remembered that when he went to the Light Chemical Hall, he happened to meet Jiang Shidian's workers to go to the sit-in, and now there is a strong man with a full face, who looks like a small leader, I don't know if it is the Sun Xiangyun that Ye Yuancai said.

"If it's to take everyone to make trouble, it's not a big problem, right, maybe he's more enthusiastic about collective affairs?" Lin Zhenhua said deliberately.

Ye Yuancai shook his head and said: "Manager Lin, you don't know, if he really takes the lead in making trouble for the sake of the workers in the factory, there is really no problem, maybe I will respect him." But do you know that every time he comes back from Nandu after his salary, he has to find an accountant to report to him for business trip expenses, transportation expenses and missed meal expenses, which cost more than 100 yuan at a time. ”

"Why!" Lin Zhenhua was dumbfounded and asked, "Then your accountant also reports to him?" ”

Ye Yuancai said: "This matter is not counted by the accountant, our current factory director is temporarily seconded from another place, Sun Xiangyun takes dozens of his people to surround the factory director every time, and he has to force the factory director to sign his list." If the factory director didn't agree, he would quarrel with the factory director, saying that he had work, and in the end, the factory director had to give in. ”

"This has become a ruffian?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Ye Yuancai said: "The problem is, he did take people to the Light Chemical Hall to get a salary, so he said everywhere that he had work." Many workers also felt that he was making a point, so the factory director did nothing about him. Every time he reimbursed the money in the factory, he took people to drink and gamble, making a miasma. ”

Hearing Ye Yuancai's description, Lin Zhenhua suddenly remembered the McVeigh of the Tiger Factory, who belonged to the category of trade union leaders. This kind of person who has a certain prestige among the workers, if he does things out of a public heart, then he can communicate completely, because Lin Zhenhua's intention is also to make Jiang Shidian better, which is consistent with the interests of the workers.

But if people like Sun Xiangyun are selfish, what is the difference between them and Niu Beisheng? I am afraid that when the time comes, they will only think more about how to meet their individual interests, and what national interests, collective interests, and workers' interests are just props that they use to decorate themselves.

"Master Ye, in your opinion, what should I do if my American friend wants to buy Jiang Shidian?" Lin Zhenhua began to ask questions.

"Difficult." Ye Yuancai said, "First of all, your friends can't hurt the interests of our factory workers, otherwise, not only will they make trouble, but I will also oppose it." "You can rest assured that I use my personality to guarantee that this acquisition will fully consider the protection of the interests of Jiangshi Electric workers." Lin Zhenhua solemnly promised. He knew that Ye Yuancai put this issue first, and he was making his position clear, that is, he would never help Lin Zhenhua or the American boss to harm his co-workers.

Ye Yuancai continued: "The second point is to have a certain amount of courage. Our current factory director has no courage at all, and as soon as Sun Xiangyun and the others make trouble, the factory director will calm down. A crying child has candy to eat, but an honest worker has no candy. In this way, the atmosphere in the factory will only get worse and worse. ”

"When you say courageous, do you mean that you want to resolutely fight against Sun Xiangyun and them?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Ye Yuancai thought for a while and said: "I think it's okay to say this, whether the struggle is not a struggle, the main thing is to see if there is a reason, there is reason to go all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason." When the leaders want to level the level of water and deal with the contradictions, whether it is the Chinese side or the United States, the key is only to see who is right and who is wrong, Sun Xiangyun and others, if they are unreasonable, everyone can also see it, at this time the factory will deal with them seriously, I think most of the workers will agree.

Manager Lin, don't worry, the vast majority of our Jiangshi Electric workers have a sense of justice. ”

"I see." Lin Zhenhua's heart was put down, and he said to Ye Yuancai: "Master Ye, thank you for your guidance." I came here today for one more thing, and that is to ask you to come out and assist the US manager in his work. ”

"I don't speak American." Ye Yuancai said a little crampedly.

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it is said that it is the manager of the United States, but in fact, he is also an overseas Chinese, and he also speaks Chinese." I'm just worried that he is not familiar with Jiang Shidian's situation and is not doing well in some places, so I would like to ask you to come out and help. ”

Ye Yuancai said: "I don't have much culture, how can I afford such a big responsibility?" Besides, there are still many middle-level cadres in the factory, why did you single me out? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Master Ye, I have learned about your situation from both Master Xiao Shen and Master Shen, and they jointly recommended you, and they said that you are fair and have great management skills. Listening to what you said just now, I also think that you have a very thorough view of the problem and a sense of justice, so I have officially decided to hire you as the deputy general manager of the Chinese side. ”

"This can't be done, how can I be the assistant manager." Ye Yuancai really felt panicked, "Manager Lin, if you look up to me, let me come out as a middle-level cadre today, our deputy general manager of Jiang Shidian is a department-level cadre, and I am only a deputy section level, how can I do it." ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "What is the section level, Jiang Shidian will become a joint venture in the future, and this kind of seniority is not recognized by the Americans." Master Ye, don't worry, I don't just invite you to go out of the mountain alone, Xiao Shen also recommended some other people to me, if you have a suitable candidate in your heart, you can also recommend it to me, I plan to hire more than a dozen decent masters to form the new management of Jiang Shidian. In addition, we will also send some cadres to work with you. ”

At this point, Ye Yuan knew that Lin Zhenhua had come prepared, and he was by no means open-minded. After all, he is only a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man in the prime of life, and he still has some things to do in his heart, listening to Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, he nodded solemnly and said: "Manager Lin, since you trust me so much, I won't say anything polite, I am willing to do what you explain to me." If in the future you think that I have done a bad job, or that I am doing things unfairly, you can just remove me. ”

"Thank you, Master Ye." Lin Zhenhua said happily.

"By the way, Manager Lin, after the Americans buy our Jiangshi Electric, what products should we make?" Ye Yuanshen quickly entered the role and began to care about the operation of the company.

Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and said: "It's still a refrigerator, but it's a refrigerator exported to the United States." Also, your old technical section chief Wei Dongqi has completed the design of the refrigerator compressor, and I want to take it to our Jiang Shidian to do it. From now on, we will no longer be limited by compressors. ”

"Great, I can trust what Chief Wei has made." Ye Yuancai smiled and said, "Manager Lin, it's almost noon, you can eat here with me, let's talk about how to make Jiang Shidian up." ”
