Zhao Xinmei told her parents that a company in Huaxing City invited her to be transferred, and today she went to discuss this matter.

"I've never heard you talk about it before! What kind of business is it? The parents asked in unison.

"I'm about to report to you, this is a private enterprise."

"What? Isn't a private enterprise just a private enterprise? No, no, no! The parents hurriedly waved their hands.

"Mom and Dad, don't seal the door first, listen to what I say!"

"No matter what you say, he's also a private company." The parents were not interested in Zhao Xinmei's explanation.

"Isn't it a bit arbitrary that you all dismiss it without listening to me?"

Seeing their daughter's unhappy appearance, the parents eased their attitude slightly, but they were still a little disdainful, "You say, we want to hear what a good unit it is." ”

Zhao Xinmei told her parents about the ins and outs of Jiansheng Food Factory and the current situation, after listening to her daughter's words, the old father was silent, and Zhao Xinmei's mother said: "Xinmei, listen to what you said is good, this is all true, right?" ”

"Mom, look at what you say, for my own sake, am I still making up lies to deceive you? Do you want me to take you to the factory to have a look? ”

"Look, we're afraid you'll be confused by superficial appearances."

"Fortunately, I am also a college graduate, and I have been in the company for several years, so I can't say that I can see six ways, at least I still have the basic ability to distinguish things. I understand your feelings, I am afraid that I will suffer losses outside, but I have been in the society for several years, and I am still a leader in the size of the unit, and I have some social experience. ”

"It's not that I'm worried about you, we just want to remind you, anyway, you are a college student, and you are a middle-level cadre of a large state-owned enterprise, do you think it is appropriate to go to such a private unit? You are a state cadre, and when you go to a private enterprise, how can you retain your status as a state cadre? How? The old father spoke earnestly.

Zhao Xinmei's parents are nearly sixty years old, they regard the establishment and system as more important than anything else, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is their life, but they do not know that the pace of the times is constantly moving forward, and in social life, in addition to the old-fashioned system and the patent products of the special class of the establishment, there are now many new things that they did not expect, and they are showing vitality.

"Dad, I understand your worries, and I know that your thoughts are for my good, but you may not know the status quo of our unit's state-owned enterprises, which can be described as precarious, and how long can it last, I don't think the main leaders in the factory have a bottom in their hearts." Zhao Xinmei said.

"I've never heard you say before, how could such a large state-owned enterprise, the top five in the province's food industry, and the Xiangyang Food Factory, which is one of the largest in the country, become like this?" The two old men were shocked by what their daughter said.

"I am the enterprise management department of the factory, if you want to say the reason, you don't need others to summarize, I know it clearly, nothing more than the rigid system, rigid mechanism, lack of motivation, people are superficial, inefficient, and nepotism, and so on." Zhao Xinmei said nonchalantly.

"Since you know these drawbacks, why don't you report them to your superiors, don't you be afraid that there will be problems, you bring them up to the leaders, and it's okay if you change them?"

Zhao Xinmei laughed, "Did you two come from the moon?" How long has it been since I retired from the unit, and how can I forget all the problems in my unit? If you think back to the time when you went to work, you wouldn't be surprised by me. ”

"Yes, we don't deny that every unit has such and such drawbacks, but when we worked in the unit, we didn't feel the pressure and crisis." Zhao Xinmei's father is a middle-level cadre at a local state-owned enterprise in Huaxing City, and her mother is a store worker.

"You were lucky to be born in that era, but it was at the expense of the interests of a large number of toiling people outside the system that your luck was maintained, and that was the greatest injustice of human society! They are all Chinese, why can't they eat enough to grow grain, but they can get by by working, but they don't have to worry about three meals a day? Zhao Xinmei's words are sharp, and the college students of their time are unprecedentedly active in their thinking, and they have their own independent thinking about many things.

"However, the current enterprise is still the same way of management, why can't it?" The old father did not understand these phenomena.

"In order to break this social injustice, now the policy gives all Chinese a chance, so there are some competitors in all walks of life in society, and with competition, there will naturally be pressure." Zhao Xinmei said.

"Even if what you say is true, I don't believe in state-owned enterprises, and I can't compete with those small private workshops."

"Dad, you are a kind of pride and prejudice in the system, and it is not surprising that all private enterprises are small artisanal workshops, and the vast majority of people in the system have this view. People say that knowing each other and knowing oneself is invincible, but the terrible thing is that you don't know each other, but you think that you have the chance to win, where do you get your confidence? Just because there is a talisman of the system? ”

The old father was speechless when asked by Zhao Xinmei.

Zhao Xinmei continued: "It is precisely because of this mentality that many state-owned enterprises have lost the battle with private enterprises and can only give up the market. Many people don't understand, even if you have a system to make a talisman, what can you do? Consumers don't buy your account, everything equals zero. ”

"You have been talking for a long time, what are the unique skills of private enterprises? How did they win? The old father was still not convinced.

"According to my observation, private enterprises do have something to look down on, such as the quality of their employees, their degree of standardization, and even their machinery and equipment, etc., are not as good as state-owned enterprises, but they have their own uniqueness, but they are definitely not unique, for example, they have a flexible mechanism, advanced ideas, capable institutions, without any superficial phenomenon, high efficiency, and generally have a sense of service, and truly treat consumers as God."

"There's no secret to that! Can't our state-owned enterprises learn? ”

"Dad, your first half of the sentence is right, these things really don't have any secrets, you can understand them at a glance, and you can learn them as soon as you learn them, but no matter how simple they are, you have to learn and practice them! State-owned enterprises from top to bottom are a bunch of high-minded, high-spirited uncles, only a sense of service, in the state-owned enterprises will not be accepted, what do you say? Moreover, there are some things that are deeply ingrained in state-owned enterprises, let me give you an example, this friend of mine is also engaged in food processing, their output is not much smaller than our Xiangyang Food Company, we have three or four thousand employees, only three or four hundred people in the management department, and all the employees of their departments together are less than seven hundred, it comes down to the cost of products, how much do you say the difference? How do our products compete with others? ”

"Oh, according to you, it's really serious! Are you not yet awake? You can change it too! ”

"I have seen all these things, of course the leaders also know that the small meeting of the conference is not less, this document and that experience are not less learned, and when it is really necessary to implement it, it is still the nephew who plays the lantern ---- still (uncle)." Zhao Xinmei said.

"No wonder you have no confidence in the current unit, the situation you will face in the future is really grim, but in this way, it is a pity that your identity as a national cadre, when you go to a private enterprise, who cares whether you are a national cadre or not!" The old mother lamented with a very conflicted feeling.

"Hey, your generation is a typical example of being burdened by fame, and state cadres can be eaten? No matter what the identity, after all, it is for survival, even if it is bigger, in order to learn to be useful, but also in a suitable working environment to make their own strengths to be brought into play, if in a precarious, the future is bleak, even the leaders do not know what the future looks like, what is the use of the identity of the national cadre? ”

The older generation was old-fashioned, they regarded everything in the system as if it were a sacred thing, and the mainstream media preached that the people were the masters of the country, that all walks of life were equal, and everyone believed that it was true.

Zhao Xinmei's parents used to be people inside the system, and when they heard that Zhao Xinmei, who was also in the system, was going to take the initiative to leave the system, they couldn't accept their daughter's new choice at all.

After a long time, my mother asked, "Xinmei, are you willing to leave your current unit from the bottom of your heart?" ”

"Mom, any choice I make is based on my comprehensive analysis of the actual situation, no one has the right to force me to do anything, in fact, no one does that. You don't know my personality and temper yet? You and my dad have nurtured my independent personality since I was a child. ”

"That's good, did the new unit talk to you about the future conditions and treatment?"

"I knew my mother was very realistic and definitely cared about this. I didn't want to tell you this, well, in order to prove that I wasn't deceived, I'll tell you the conditions offered by the other party. ”

After listening to her daughter's report, the mother was naturally happy, "The salary is twice as much as it is now, and you are also allowed to be the executive deputy factory director, and what are the other shares, don't talk about this, just the first two, the conditions offered by the other party are indeed very generous." ”

"Mom, I really don't pay much attention to wages and positions, the key is that the other party wants me to be responsible for the daily management of the factory in an all-round way, and he wants to focus on supply and marketing and payment recovery, which is the condition that makes me tempted, because I am learning management (financial management), and my current work is also engaged in management, and I can give full play to my strengths when I arrive in a new unit."

"Xinmei, you said how many dry shares the other party wants to give you, I suggest you better not." The old father said.

"Why?"

"As the saying goes, you don't have to make any contribution to others before, why do you want shares in other companies?"

"Dad, if you want to say that you are conservative, it is really reflected in many aspects. Don't worry, I haven't agreed to accept the generosity of the other party yet. But I want to explain to you clearly, no one is stupid if you are mixed in society, and the unhappiness you are worried about does not exist at all, and the other party's sending dry shares has nothing to do with reactive and unrelenting, on the contrary, it is a means of incentive. ”

"Inspire in this way?"

"For corporate executives, such incentives should be adopted in order to stimulate the maximum potential of managers to work for the enterprise, with the aim of doing the company's business as their own. In fact, if I accept the dry shares given by the other party, this company will have my share. This is something that state-owned enterprises cannot do in any case. ”
