Chapter Seventy-Three: Xia Minglan arranges troops

At this time, the first board of directors of Sanjiang Machine Tool Group Co., Ltd. was held in the conference room of the machine tool factory. Vice Mayor Lin Zhiqing, on behalf of the municipal government, read out the "reply on agreeing to the establishment of Sanjiang Machine Tool Group Company": the group company is composed of five enterprises, including Sanjiang Machine Tool Factory, Chengdong Township Textile Parts Factory, Luonan Township Piston Ring Factory, Xilin Township Machinery Repair Factory, and Shanbei Township Machinery Factory. Yan Shunping, Xia Minglan, Xin Renjie, Li Zhicheng, Han Daguang and other five comrades participated in the board of directors of the group company as representatives of state-owned shares, and four comrades, Ruan Jinshan, Lu Jianxun, Cheng Ligang and Chen Hongjun, respectively participated in the board of directors on behalf of Chengdong Township, Luonan Township, Xilin Township and Shanbei Township corporate shares. Fei Qingming and three other comrades formed the board of supervisors.

Lin Zhiqing made a special explanation: Comrade Yan Shunping has been elected deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and in consideration of the stability of the transition between the new and old teams of the enterprise, he will participate in the work of the board of directors.

After the announcement, Vice Mayor Lin expressed the heartfelt congratulations and ardent expectations of the municipal government to the machine tool group company, and then shook hands with the attendees one by one to say goodbye.

After sending off Vice Mayor Lin, the Board of Directors and the Board of Supervisors met separately. The nine directors unanimously elected Comrade Yan Shunping as the chairman of the first board of directors of Sanjiang Machine Tool Group Company; According to the nomination of Comrade Yan Shunping, chairman of the board, Comrade Xia Minglan was hired as the general manager. The board of directors also hired Comrade Xin Renjie as deputy general manager and chief engineer and Comrade Li Zhicheng as deputy general manager according to the nomination of general manager Xia Minglan. At the same time, the three supervisors unanimously elected Fei Qingming as the chairman of the first board of supervisors.

Then, Yan Shunping presided over the meeting as the chairman of the board of directors and put forward three requirements of the board of directors for the management team: 1. Responsible for formulating the company's long-term development plan and three-year goals, and formulating and improving the company's internal systems. Set up the leadership team at all levels of various departments and subordinate branches of the group company. It is determined that the management department of the group company and the machine tool factory is a set of two brands. Second, speed up the new "multi-functional machine tools" to enter the domestic and foreign markets, and strive to this year's new sales accounted for 30% of the company's total sales. 3. Accelerate the pace of technological transformation and improve product quality. Meanwhile. Continue to increase the development of new products, launch one, research and development one.

This year's economic indicators are sales revenue of 350 million yuan and net profit of 35 million yuan. Yan Shunping also made a special explanation: The municipal government took into account that the company had just been established, the new team, the new members, and the work should have an adaptation process, and these two indicators should not be too high. It is basically similar to the original machine tool factory.

Xia Minglan, on behalf of the management team, said that we must work together, resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the board of directors, and hand in a full answer sheet at the end of the year.

The company's management is shouldered. Xia Minglan's top priority is to arrange the troops. In the past, Xia Minglan often came to the machine tool factory to contact work, her identity was a government worker, and she was a leader. Words and deeds are inevitably a bit condescending. Now part of the company. No matter how big the company is, it is still the most basic production unit, which is completely different from the nature of government work.

According to her understanding of enterprise management, the selection of middle-level cadres is an important factor in the success or failure of the company. Xia Minglan believes that the overall quality of the existing middle-level cadres of the machine tool company is still very good. She is prepared to get to know them better and then decide whether to keep them on a case-by-case basis.

A few days ago, Gozeqi had a special exchange of views with her. It is recommended that she pay special attention to cultivating her cronies after she arrives, with a focus on the right-hand men of the upper echelons. The backbone of the middle layer is strong. Xia Minglan didn't care, she thought that as long as she stood upright, she would naturally be able to stand firm in the company, and her subordinates would obey the command. She plans to have middle-level cadres report on their work one by one in order to examine their work ability and performance.

During this time, Xia Minglan kept receiving calls from old leaders and colleagues, recommending their acquaintances to join the company's middle-level cadre team. Li Zhicheng also reported to her that people from the tax, banking, business administration, and environmental protection departments all greeted her.

Xia Minglan was quite embarrassed, there were too many phone calls, and the parties involved were in different situations, and the preliminary understanding showed that less than one-third met the requirements for cadres. If it is difficult to meet their requirements, it will definitely affect the interests of the company, and if you are grateful, you have to be prepared to wear "small shoes", which will also have a negative impact on the company. Xia Minglan has worked in the government department for many years, and she is very clear about the routines that some power grabbers are good at.

Li Zhicheng pondered: "We can't afford to offend these people, but we can't use people to destroy their martial arts improperly, I have a way, I don't know if it's feasible." ”

Xia Minglan said: "Let's hear it." ”

Li Zhicheng said: "My method is actually only one sentence: middle-level cadres compete for posts. ”

Xia Minglan's eyes lit up. "Be specific."

Li Zhicheng said: "First of all, the company intends to hire middle-level cadre positions: the company's management department is the deputy person in charge, the machine tool factory original production workshop and the branch director and deputy director are listed and announced one by one, and then the employees who are interested in the management position to play their talents and contribute to the company voluntarily sign up, and the current middle-level cadres are regarded as voluntary participation in the competition. In addition, I learned that the organization department of the machine tool factory had a cadre training plan, and the company should mobilize them to sign up for the training of outstanding reserve cadres, and try to do not miss any outstanding talents. The last step is for representatives of the party, government, and workers to participate in the open evaluation to ensure that the selection of cadres is open, just, fair, and efficient. ”

Xia Minglan nodded again and again. "That's a good idea! We have only arrived in the enterprise, after all, it is not as clear as the old workers in the factory, and it is the fairest to listen to the opinions of the workers. ”

Xia Minglan first asked Xin Renjie to exchange views. She was open and honest: "I made a mistake when I participated in the preparation of the group company: I acted hastily on the issue of choosing a joint venture, failed to conduct in-depth investigation and overall planning, and left hidden dangers for the company. It can be seen that I, a fledgling yellow-haired girl, is immature, especially inexperienced in corporate work, and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility. Now that the wood has become a boat, it is beyond the reach of regret, and only by redoubling efforts can we recover the loss.

Chairman Yan asked me to emancipate my mind, respect knowledge, and learn from the old workers with an open mind. The good words of Jin Yu are kept in mind. I hope that Mr. Xin will be magnanimous and not be as knowledgeable as a little woman. ”

Xia Minglan's open and honest opening remarks surprised Xin Renjie.

There are generally two types of government workers he comes into contact with. A kind of amiable person, who is always calm and pleasant when talking to you. However, he seems to be always modest and cautious, and never overstepping his authority. Hearing what you ask, he will soon tell you, please go to such and such a department, or wait for such and such a leader to come back, I will definitely tell you and so on.

There are also those who have a serious and serious expression in front of the visitor, and they do not smile. Visitors are often anxious when they have something to ask for. Seeing this dignity, he became more and more uneasy, and began to stammer. The presentation of the case is even more confusing. And he couldn't help frowning again, and glanced at the watch in his hand from time to time. If the visitor still doesn't get the word right, he will interrupt him and say, "I see." Your business is a bit complicated. It can't be solved for a while. Well, I'll make a note of your number, and I'll get back to you in a few days. Or you can come to me, and I'm going to have a meeting soon, I'm really sorry.

Xin Renjie believes that no matter how different the above two kinds of people are in dealing with people, there is one thing in common, that is, they always think they are right, and their words and deeds represent the government and have unquestionable authority! However, Xia Minglan was not, she was so frank in the first conversation. Get straight to the point and admit mistakes. Xin Renjie thought in his heart, he used to think that she would become a department-level cadre at a young age. Nine times out of ten, beauty added points to her. Nowadays, it seems that the world's view is indeed misleading.

Xin Renjie said sincerely: "My attitude was not right a few days ago, it was rude!" Still, I would say that the consequences of hasty action are difficult to predict. I have no objection to a good company making as much social contribution as possible, but only if it is within the limits of what it can afford. Enterprises repay the country with profits and taxes, and at the same time provide employees with a good living guarantee. The enterprise is a production unit, it is necessary to consider the cost, pay attention to the input and output, and the enterprise is not a charity.

Then again, since the decision has been made by the superiors, I resolutely obey. Mr. Xia, rest assured, I will do my best to assist you in completing the tasks assigned by the board of directors. ”

Xia Minglan saw that he was sincere and principled, as Ge Zeqi said, Xin Renjie was a trustworthy cadre. Then they had in-depth communication on the issue of middle-level cadres.

Fei Mingqing, chairman of the trade union, provided reference advice to Xia Minglan focused on uniting the hearts of employees. The predecessor of the machine tool factory was several small hardware private enterprises, and the total number of employees was only more than 100. In 1956, the public-private partnership was renamed the Machine Tool Factory, which experienced many ditches and bumps, and even stopped production for a time. After nearly 30 years of hard work, the development to today's scale depends on the unity of the people. The workers all said that they did not have too much luxury, they just hoped that the factory would be good, and they would follow suit. Everyone's common hope is two things: tickets and houses.

The machine tool group company was established, and the employees were happy and worried. Enterprises can be developed, and everyone is happy. What to worry about is less porridge and more monks? Benefit is by a machine tool to sell in exchange, after the horizontal union, the spread is bigger, the number of personnel has increased, the cost has risen, and the sales volume of machine tools must also increase year-on-year in order to maintain the original level of the machine tool factory.

Fei Qingming analyzed that at present, there are two potential contradictions between new and old employees within the group company, one is salary. The wages of workers in machine tool factories are generally two to three levels higher than those of other factories, not to mention those of the four joint ventures. Second, the benefits have been good in recent years, and some workers have been allocated houses every year, but there are still a large number of homeless households waiting for next year and the year after. After the workers of the branch factory come in, the contradiction of the division of the room will definitely become more prominent.

With all due respect, I estimate that in a few months, these contradictions will surface, and Mr. Xia must be mentally prepared and take precautions. Our trade union cadres should not only assist the company's leaders and do a good job in mass work, but also have the responsibility to safeguard the legitimate interests of employees.

What Chairman Fei said was from the bottom of his heart, and the implication was to criticize the mistakes of the municipal government and remind the management team to have a sense of distress.

Xia Minglan's heart was heavy, and she felt more and more self-blame and guilt. She opened the window and let the cool breeze blow in to dispel the gloomy atmosphere. After a while, her mood was much calmer: since she has decided to quit politics and engage in industry, even if there are thousands of difficulties, she must go all the way to the end!

After full discussion at the managerial level and soliciting Yan Shunping's opinions, the list of middle-level cadres of the group company was finally determined, and the appointment and dismissal documents were sent to various departments, workshops and branches, and the business activities of the new company were officially launched.
