Honestly sitting at the conference table and listening to others, since it was Wei Ze who spoke, Wang Haiyang had no opinion on this. The other participants were basically people from his father and brother's wave, and the sophistication of these people in dealing with problems was indeed not something that Wang Haiyang could keep up with in three or two days.

As soon as Governor Wei Zedu spoke, Wang Haiyang was calmed by the content, "Let's make a plan based on the defeat of the Transvaal Republic." If it weren't for the governor's speech, Wang Haiyang couldn't even believe that this statement was true. Before the weapons in support of the Transvaal Republic were delivered, the Republic of China was sure of the defeat of the Transvaal Republic? It's a big jump.

Others were not surprised, let alone confused. The Military Commission put forward a proposal to arm China's mining equipment more comprehensively, and the Foreign Ministry said that if Britain took the initiative to approach the Foreign Office, the Foreign Ministry would declare that China's commercial interests in the Transvaal Republic would not be infringed upon. If Britain does not take the initiative to approach the Foreign Office, the Foreign Office will take the initiative to announce to Britain that China's commercial interests in the Transvaal will not be infringed upon at the beginning of the conflict.

The Navy representatives in the Military Commission did not say so much, and the representatives only asked one question, "What kind of war intensity should the Navy consider?" ”

Weeser replied: "Make it possible for the British Grand Fleet to be dispatched. ”

Looking at and listening to the participants' answers so easily, Wang Haiyang had only one feeling, the power of the president of the country was much greater than that of the prime minister. The official position of the governor of Wei Zedu is the chairman of the Republic of China, and he is the one who makes the decision. The Prime Minister is only the head of the executive branch who leads the government in carrying out the decisions of the organs of power. Moreover, no matter how drastic the current situation is, all the corresponding preparations have been made, and all that the country needs is to deal with the problem with the response measures that have been completed before.

The gold mine issue didn't take much time, and Wang Haiyang didn't have many issues that needed to be discussed at the Politburo meeting, the only problem was that the work of immigrating to North America needed to be strengthened. It would be nice if it could reach 20 million in the next four years.

"Then let's recruit workers." Weeser gave a suggestion. Since it has become so difficult to emigrate, the area is viewed as a super-sized state farm, where people go to work rather than emigrate. I don't know if this approach can dispel everyone's concerns. The other committee members did not object, so Wang Haiyang decided to give it a try.

After the issues that need to be taken out as a whole are discussed, each department begins to deal with its own work. According to the schedule, Weeser took part in the work discussions of the State Council.

The main content of the discussion is to strengthen the transformation of enterprises and improve the production process. Historically, modern business management began with the Taylor system, I don't know if it was because of the impact on the world after the emergence of Weizer, Taylor is still unknown, and no one has ever mentioned it. And China's own enterprise production management was activated by Weizer's efforts.

One of the core of the Taylor system is that "scientific management, like a labor-saving machine, aims to increase the output of each unit of labor."

In order to achieve the goal, the management content of the Taylor system probably includes:

1. The fundamental purpose of management is to improve efficiency.

2. Formulate work quotas.

3. Choose the best workers.

4. Implement standardized management.

5. Implement a stimulus payment system.

6. Emphasizing the "spiritual revolution" of cooperation between employers and workers.

7. Advocate the separation of planning functions from executive functions.

8. Implement the functional foreman system.

9. Implement the principle of exception in management control.

Wei Ze also learned this part, and he took out the impressive part of it as a program for enterprise management in the Republic of China.

“…… Scientific management is the integration of various elements that existed in the past, that is, the original knowledge is collected, analyzed, combined and classified into laws and rules, so as to form a science......

…… Scientific management is not an efficient method, not a method to obtain efficiency, nor is it a string or a batch of efficient methods......

…… Scientific management is not a new system for calculating costs, not a new method of paying workers' wages, not a piecework system, not a bonus system, not a payment system, and not a plan to dominate workers at all......

…… Scientific management is not to take a stopwatch and observe a person's work and write down his situation; It is not a study of working hours, it is not a study of movements, or an analysis of workers' movements......

…… Scientific management is not about printing a large number of forms and sending them to some people and saying, 'This is your system, do as it is'......

It is not any of the methods that ordinary people think of when they talk about scientific management, and when they hear the word 'scientific management', they think of one or more of the methods mentioned above, but scientific management is not any of them......"

Such a somewhat negative stylized exposition impressed Wei Ze, and he naturally used it. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is labor, there are contradictions.

"Scientific management essentially consists of a general psychological revolution in the demands of workers working in any particular institution or industry - a total psychological revolution in their obligations to their work, their fellow workers, and the owners of the enterprise. In the same way, the owners of the enterprise themselves have to carry out an ideological revolution. In the end, this enterprise is a state-owned means of production, a place to fulfill its own value through labor, or a tool simply used to increase its own assets. Without this comprehensive psychological revolution on both sides, scientific management cannot exist. ”

Theoretical things just flew around the room, and Weeser could understand them, and it was clear that many of the participants did not understand them, or did not agree with them after they did.

In any case, a system is a system, and a policy is a policy. Those who do not obey the system and do not implement the policy must be cleared out of the system. The Minister of Industry made a statement, "In order to reverse the prejudices and misunderstandings of the workers' comrades about mental work, we have recently considered an attempt to raise the level of awareness of the workers' comrades in the state-owned enterprises. There are also attempts to open the distribution system model. ”

This is quite reluctant, and it is not to blame that the Minister of Industry is in such a mood. It feels strange that those in charge of the top must bend down and tell the grassroots workers what they have done to the top without understanding the hard work of the upper echelons. There will even be questions about "who is the boss".

However, the Ministry of Industry and other ministries did not raise questions this time, and the role of excellent workers in enterprises has become more and more prominent for more than a decade. With a capable team and a workforce, the level of the enterprise can be greatly improved. Without this workforce, businesses will have a lot of problems. As long as the anti-system black sheep can be eliminated, the workers will uphold the attitude of "how much money is given, how much work is done" to complete the work.

Of course, under this clear system, workers whose purpose is to improve their abilities can also stand out and become technical backbones and take leadership positions. After an open discussion and a clear explanation to the workers of the internal management principles and the obligations and responsibilities of each post, the mountaineering of the feudal system was greatly weakened in the state-owned enterprises. The factories that have taken the lead in adopting these models have had good results. Although the upper echelons have their own opinions on this, they do not dare to oppose the policies set by Chairman Weeser and the Politburo.

Seeing Wei Ze holding a notebook without saying a word, Wang Haiyang, who lacked this kind of experience in presiding over meetings, felt uneasy in his heart. Wang Haiyang himself also has the habit of recording, which is similar to the habit of most leaders, and part of the record is not only the key direction or key data that others talk about, but also a considerable part of the opinions of others. Identify with those aspects and disagree with those aspects. This is far more important than the concrete work. With the system of the Republic of China, Wang Haiyang could get those reports afterwards, as well as the contents of the meeting minutes recorded by the clerk who sorted out after the meeting. But that momentary judgment of people is fleeting, and it is more reliable to write it down with a pen than anything else.

Now the Governor's way of writing a few strokes every once in a while looks like an evaluation of a person, once the Governor is asked to assign an attribute to someone, the fate of this person will probably be determined. Moreover, it is not only these ministry personnel who are characterized, but Wang Haiyang himself is also the object of observation and characterization, which makes it impossible for Wang Haiyang not to be nervous.

Similar to what Wang Haiyang thought, Wei Ze was indeed recording the corresponding content, but this was not to settle accounts after the autumn, but to prepare for the party class study at the party committee meeting. Ideological questions are never simple questions, there is a process of asking questions at the party meeting, if Wei Ze can't prepare in advance, in the face of one question after another, especially the content of "there is a preset premise" put forward by those questioners intentionally or unintentionally, Wei Ze can't tell those people sternly, "Don't give me a preset premise."

If the level of ideological understanding of the comrades can be raised through the Party Congress, or at least there is a consensus on the way of understanding the problem, the benefits will be extremely significant.

After the State Council's work conference ended, Wang Haiyang finally had time to deal with some targeted work. When having lunch with Wei Ze, Wang Haiyang said to Wei Ze: "Governor, Hubei Province has been engaged in trade protectionist policies recently. I also made a suggestion to Hubei, but Hubei obviously did not agree. ”

Wei Ze listened to this situation and recalled the state of mind that Zhou Zhengxiong showed when he met Zhou Zhengxiong last time, and he was completely able to understand the reason for this kind of thing. At that time, Weeser believed that it was not easy to forcibly reverse the market demand for products, but it was not impossible to impose regulations.

Trade protectionism and obstruction of goods from other provinces into Hubei can be seen, at least on the surface. But what will be the effect of this approach, Wei Ze is not optimistic about Zhou Zhengxiong at all. Unless Zhou Zhengxiong can convince the people of Hubei Province that high-quality products from other provinces will never enter Hubei, the role of trade protection is not something Zhou Zhengxiong can imagine.

He just snorted, but Wei Ze didn't say anything more.
