Chapter III Third plenary meeting (II)

After the approval of the dividend plan, Zhang Weixin announced the next and most important agenda of the conference, which is to revise the current organizational structure of the team and the responsibilities of each department, and elect the new committee members.

When explaining the reasons for the change to the participants, Zhang Weixin said: "The main reason for the revision is that the current organizational structure of the team and the responsibilities of each department were formulated at the beginning of the crossing, and now the situation of the team has undergone major changes, and many of the systems and rules formulated at the beginning can no longer be suitable for the current actual situation, which may have an adverse impact on the future development of the team." Therefore, after the discussion of the committee, through consultation with the heads of each functional group, and after listening to the opinions of some key members, the committee decided to propose to this plenary meeting that in order to ensure the long-term development of the team, the relevant systems and rules should be amended.

The specific modification plan will be sent to each brother in a while. In order for all the brothers to have a comprehensive understanding of the plan, I announce that this morning's meeting will be held here, and everyone will go back and take a look at the plan first, and we can discuss it with each other. If any brother has any comments or suggestions on the plan, they can put it forward at the afternoon meeting, and let's discuss it together. ”

After that, Zhang Weixin sent one copy of the haode plan to each person. The traversers who got the plan left the Justice Hall one after another and returned to their residences to study. After everyone else left, the four committee members slowly walked out of the hall, and the four of them glanced at each other at the door of the hall, and each saw confidence in the eyes of the others. However, the four of them did not speak, but went straight back to their quarters, waiting for the moment of the afternoon to decide the future fate of themselves and their team.

The meeting was convened at 2 p.m. sharp, and after Zhang Weixin announced that the meeting had resumed and that everyone could express their views on the institutional reform plan, the atmosphere in the meeting room became warm.

Due to the effective communication with most of the brothers, the vast majority of the participants present were supportive of the reform plan, and at most proposed amendments to some ambiguous elaborations in the plan. Among all the brothers, only a few people have a strong opinion on this reform plan, and the most important representative of them is Qian Yuanshan. As the leader of the request for re-election of the Committee before the General Assembly, he had basic support for the reform proposals of the functional groups and limited support for the reform proposals of the Commissions.

"I don't have a problem with the institutional reform itself, after all, the current system was made at the beginning of the crossing, and now the situation of the team has changed a lot, and it is necessary to make necessary changes," he said. However, I personally do not think that some of the provisions are appropriate. It is presented here to the General Assembly for discussion.

What I am most dissatisfied with about the reform package is the terms of office of the Commissioners. Under the terms of the programme, the members of the Committee are appointed for a term of up to four years and are eligible for unlimited re-election. What we have seen and heard in previous lives has proved that such a clause is likely to cause one or several members of the team to hold the committee seat for a long time, resulting in a dictator with a lot of power. I don't think this article is in line with the concept of democracy, so I suggest that the General Assembly should amend the relevant article to shorten the term of office of members and limit the number of terms they can re-elect. For example, the term of office could be shortened to two or three years, and the number of consecutive terms could be limited to two. ”

Most of the traversers did not respond positively to Qian Yuanshan's questioning, and only Cheng Fei and Wu Peng expressed some support for this suggestion.

Qian Yuanshan's reaction was a little surprising, he thought that his proposal would be supported by the majority of people, but only to find that except for the two soldiers under his command at the beginning, everyone else seemed to be unimpressed with his proposal. Even Cheng Fei and Wu Peng, who they regard as their cronies, are not very resolute in their support, but are more hesitant. This is very different from the positive response of the two of them when he revealed to them before the meeting that he wanted to make a proposal for re-election to the committee and hoped that the two would support their candidacy for the post of committee member.

The performance of Cheng and Wu made Qian Yuanshan very dissatisfied, thinking that these two people lacked courage, because they saw the wrong person and chose the wrong helper. Qian Yuanshan couldn't stop complaining about the two cronies in his heart, but he didn't realize that he was not only naΓ―ve in dealing with interpersonal relationships, but also lacked an understanding of the team's situation. ,

Not to mention that before the plenary meeting, the frequent activities of Liang Ziyue, Zhang Weixin, Yang Xin and others in the team, as well as the performance of the brothers after communicating with them, can already explain the thoughts of the vast majority of traversers. Just now, after Zhang Weixin asked everyone to express their opinions on the institutional reform plan, from the performance of the brothers who almost unanimously supported the plan, he Qian Yuanshan should also be able to see everyone's attitude towards this plan. However, he did not notice this at all, and despite the active support of the brothers and the general trend, he still stood up against the reform plan and pushed himself to the opposite side of the brothers.

In this regard, Cheng Fei and Wu Peng are much more shrewd than him. The reason why they supported Qian Yuanshan's proposal to re-elect the committee a few days ago was mainly because if Qian Yuanshan could be elected, it would bring certain benefits to himself. Moreover, what they promised Qian Yuanshan was only to support the re-election of the committee, and did not make other promises. Because they did not know that the committee would propose a plan for institutional reform at the plenary session, it was impossible to give Qian Yuanshan a promise in advance.

After knowing that the committee was going to carry out institutional reform and seeing the specific reform plan, they combined the positive activities of Liang Ziyue and others a few days ago and the exchanges with the brothers after the morning meeting, and they already knew very well that institutional reform was the trend of the times. For this reason, at lunchtime, they also persuaded Qian Yuanshan, hoping that their old superior would not be affected by the reform plan and would concentrate his attention on the re-election of committee members. At that time, Qian Yuanshan was noncommittal about their suggestion, and they had a hunch that this old superior would not let go. Sure enough, at the afternoon meeting, Qian Yuanshan expressed his objections. And out of friendship, the two of them had to express their limited support for Qian Yuanshan. Although Qian Yuanshan was not satisfied with the performance of the two, Cheng and Wu's behavior today was actually very worthy of Qian Yuanshan, and it was rare for them to still be able to say words of support for their companions when they knew the general trend.

Although there are very few people who support Qian Yuanshan, now that Qian Yuanshan has put the issue on the table, the committee must give an answer. So, after exchanging opinions with his eyes, Zhang Weixin stood up, came to the podium, and said: "On behalf of the committee, I will answer the questions and suggestions of the eleventh. First of all, on behalf of the Committee, I would like to express my affirmation and support for the spirit of Lao Eleven who has the courage to express his personal opinions. I also understand the concerns of the old eleven about the Committee's new provisions. Yes, as the old eleven said, the provisions on the term of office and re-election of members in the new article do have the potential to create dictatorship. However, everything must be viewed from two aspects, the vision should be broader, and the long-term view should be longer.

We are now just a group of ordinary people with a little family resources, although we have been associated with some local shili in various ways, but this association can only provide us with a certain amount of security, but it cannot provide us with food, clothing, housing and transportation. If we want to survive in this era and be able to support ourselves, we must contact and communicate with the people of this era, and earn money through business and property to support ourselves. This requires us to abide by the moral norms and codes of conduct of this era, and many things are not what we can do as we want.

Just imagine, if you are a businessman or a farmer in this era, are you willing to deal with a partner who knows you and has a relationship with you for several years or even more than ten years, or is you willing to deal with a partner who changes a new face almost every year and has to re-engage with different parties and cultivate feelings every once in a while?

We are now a little famous in Liangxiang City, there is more than one shop, restaurants and green buildings are involved, and there are many merchants and shops that cooperate with us. If you look closely, you will find that although we have a lot of industries and more than one member of the business group, every time the businessmen and shops we cooperate with come to contact the business group, they will choose a relatively fixed team member to contact, and will not contact other members who are not familiar with them, let alone find members outside the business group. The reason for this is that people are willing to deal with familiar faces, as I mentioned earlier. Frequent changes in the person in charge will make our business partners distrust us, which is quite detrimental to our business development. ,

Similarly, every time Zhong Yuan sent someone to discuss things, or Hu Zhixian sent someone to convey the news in the yamen, without exception, the fifth brother or I came to receive it. If the two of us are not there, the other will either sit and wait for us to come back, or we will leave and come back next time and never discuss things with the other members.

I don't think these people will only know the fifth brother and me, at least the brothers who live in 'Qingyuan' should be familiar to them. Now that they're familiar with everyone, it's obvious why they're doing it. For ourselves, we are all brothers who bow to the ground, and there is no difference between who and whom. However, outsiders will not think so, they will very naturally, according to the habits of this era, divide our brothers into several parts. Among them, there are people who are in charge of talking and counting, there are specialists in charge of a certain aspect of affairs, and there are some brothers, because the work they are engaged in is incomprehensible to these outsiders, so they are regarded as so-called 'idlers'. Then, according to their own understanding, they will go to the people they need to communicate.

If the identities of our people often change, the 'principal' becomes the 'idler', and the 'expert' becomes the principal, then it will inevitably make the other party feel confused and confused, and feel that they can't see our team clearly, and then it is normal to have a sense of distrust in the team. The consequences of local Shili's distrust are much more serious than the distrust of business partners, and we cannot afford such consequences.

Everyone must understand that what we are living in now is not the modern society that we are familiar with, the modern society that advocates democracy and freedom. We are now in the 10th century, in an ancient society with distinct hierarchies and hierarchies. In this society, from the emperors and generals to the common people, they are familiar with and follow the feudal etiquette that has been practiced for more than 1,000 years. They don't know what 'democracy' is and what 'equality' is, and they will only do things according to their own habits, according to the accepted morals and codes of conduct of the era.

If you don't behave in the same way as the people of this era, you can't be understood by them. Then, they will either see you as an outlier and turn away from you; Either they will regard you as a heretic, and they will put you on full alert or even crack down on you. In that case, what will happen to our group of people, I don't need to say, everyone should be able to imagine.

If you don't believe what I said, you can ask the brothers of the business group such as the tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth who deal with the people of this era every day, you can ask the fifth brother who went to Youzhou City to pay tribute to the manager Feng for the development of the team, and you can also ask the twenty-ninth and thirty-first who you regard as confidants, and ask the two of them what they saw and heard under the mountain, whether I said so.

Even, you can walk out of the righteous hall right now and announce to the minions standing guard outside that you, Qian Yuanshan, have replaced the fifth brother as the big leader of this cottage, you can see how those minions will react, see if they will support you loudly, or will they treat you as a villain who seeks power and usurped the throne. ”

Zhang Weixin's explanation was very convincing, which made Qian Yuanshan also feel that Seventh Brother's remarks made some sense. After all, Qian Yuanshan has basically been living in a relatively closed Feilong Village since he left the Yuxu Palace, and in addition to Zeng Zhilin and other brothers who deal with him every day, there are only minions who obey him and dare not disobey at all, and have too little contact with people in society, so there is still the inertia brought by the previous life in the ideological concepts and thinking patterns, and many things are not considered comprehensively. Now after listening to Zhang Weixin's explanation, he has already gained some understanding.

Moreover, Zhang Weixin's zuihou words are no longer explaining, everyone can hear it, and he even began to suspect that Qian Yuanshan's proposal to re-elect the committee and oppose the reform plan was to replace Wang Kunjun and even the entire committee, which Qian Yuanshan could not afford. If he Qian Yuanshan insists on his own point of view, the charge of "grabbing class and seizing power" will probably be confirmed, and his image in the eyes of his brothers will be completely ruined.

So, Qian Yuanshan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Seventh brother, you misunderstood, the brother by no means does not believe in the elder brothers of the committee members, and he has no intention of replacing the fifth brother." Because the brother has been staying in Feilong Village since he left the Jade Void Palace, he has too little contact with the outside world, he lacks enough understanding of this era, and he still thinks about problems according to the thinking habits before the crossing, so he has opinions on the committee's reform plan. The teachings of the seventh brother just now made the brothers suddenly open their mouths, and they knew that they were thinking about things too simply. This is all my brother's lack of experience, and I hope that all my brothers and brothers can understand. ”,

Qian Yuanshan's statement is tantamount to announcing that he no longer opposes the committee's reform plan, and Cheng Fei and Wu Peng will definitely not have any disagreement on the reform plan. Zhang Weixin saw that his goal had been achieved, so he did not make a fuss about the issue of "grabbing class and seizing power". After all, the purpose of what he said today was to make the institutional reform plan pass smoothly, not to criticize Qian Yuanshan ideologically. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he was very reluctant to attack Qian Yuanshan. Because in the jihua he formulated for the future of the team, Qian Yuanshan was an important liliang used to check and balance Xu Shaoan.

Therefore, after Qian Yuanshan restated his position, Zhang Weixin changed the conversation, saying that he was excited just now, and his speech was a little extreme, hoping that the eleventh brother would not be surprised.

At this time, Wang Kunjun also came out to play the round and said, "Yes, yes." During this period of time, Lao Qi has racked his brains in order to formulate this institutional reform plan, taking into account all aspects of the problem, and has spent a lot of effort. At this time, I heard someone object, saying that the plan he drew up was problematic, and it was a matter of principle, and it was inevitable that he would be a little excited when he spoke.

The brothers know you well and know that you are not the kind of person who puts the interests of the team at the expense of his own interests. Moreover, since the plan is discussed at the conference, I hope that everyone can put forward their own opinions, so as to make the plan more perfect. I believe that no matter what you say or do, the essence of what you say is for the development of the team, and the starting point is haode. We are all brothers, and it is normal to have differences and opinions on things at work. Therefore, you don't have any psychological burden because of this, and the other brothers don't have any opinions about the old eleven because of this. ”

Wang Kunjun's words were unanimously responded to by all the brothers, and the atmosphere in the venue, which had become a little depressed because of Zhang Weixin's words, became warm again. The subsequent vote on the institutional reform package was unanimous and unanimously.

According to the reform plan, the number of members in the new committee is no longer fixed at four, but will be proportional to the number of traversers in the team to one. In other words, for every ten more traversers added to the team in the future, the number of committee members will increase by one. Although no one can be sure whether the crossing team will expand now, it is always haode to be prepared.

The term of office of the committee members has been extended from one year to four years, and they can be re-elected indefinitely, so as to maintain the stability of the team's external exchanges, especially with local shili.

In terms of functional groups, the reform plan has made significant adjustments to this, taking into account the fact that the division of labor within the functional groups of the team is becoming more and more detailed and the size of the groups is getting larger. First of all, all functional groups were upgraded to functional departments. In addition to the archives and the infirmary, the original business and trade group, science and technology group, etc., have been changed to the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and so on. Then, under each department, according to the division of labor among the members, the corresponding departments are established. For example, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade has three departments, which are respectively responsible for restaurants and green buildings belonging to the catering and entertainment industry, grain and rice stores and silk cloth villages belonging to the general retail industry, and "Shushang Fang" and "Jingbaoxuan" belonging to the luxury retail industry. In this way, it can ensure that the relevant fields are managed by special personnel and avoid the phenomenon of unclear responsibilities and powers.

In addition, the reform plan split the original security group into two departments, the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Among them, the security department is responsible for the daily security work of the team members, and the "Qingyuan Guard Squad" and "Jingyuan Guard Squad" in the original pro-soldier team were stripped out and a personal guard team was established under its direct command.

The Military Department is responsible for the day-to-day training and management of the team's mobile armed Liliang, also known as the Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion. At the same time, the department is also responsible for selecting and training new personal guards for the security department.

At the same time, the plan also stipulates that if the minions of the Wyvern Pioneer Battalion are assigned to various industries of the team to serve as a security mission, their subordinate relationship will be temporarily assigned to the security department during the implementation of the mission, and the security department will be responsible for the command.

In addition, the work of cultivating orphans, which was originally in charge of Zhang Xiaofei, has also been fixed, and has a new name - Reserve Liliang Training Department.

After the adoption of the structural reform package, the plenary moved on to the next item on the agenda - the election of members, and the new committee recommended the heads of departments and sections. ,

Since the number of members of the team is now 40, the number of committee members remains unchanged from before, and is still 4. As for the results of the election, there is basically no suspense. Because Liang Ziyue, Zhang Weixin, Yang Xin and others had communicated with most of the traversers before the conference, although the election of the committee members did not adopt the method of "Dongshan" and "Xigu" as last time, but adopted the method of direct voting, the final election of the committee members was still Li Junwu, Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin and Xu Shaoan.

Subsequently, the Committee recommended to the General Assembly the heads of various departments and sections, which were approved by the General Assembly. The list of new responsible persons is not much different from that of the previous term, and the original appointments have basically been maintained, and only a small number of positions have been adjusted.

Among them, Fan Wucheng was appointed as the department head of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, and concurrently served as the business director of the first section - the catering and entertainment department. Song Feiyang and Zhao Dawei were appointed as business leaders of the other two departments, respectively. Xie Tian was appointed deputy head of the catering and entertainment department, while Zhu Xiaoyuan served as the deputy head of the luxury goods department, working as an assistant to her husband.

Zhou Lei and Liu Wendong were appointed as business directors of the Mechanical Power Section and Chemical Engineering Section respectively as deputy to Li Junwu. Yu Wende, one of the original deputy team leaders, was only appointed as the business head of the materials department.

Like Li Junwu, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin also served as department heads of the finance department and the foreign exchange department respectively as committee members, while Hong Yan was appointed deputy head of the finance department.

Liang Ziyue was appointed as the head of the Censorship Department, Zheng Zhiwei served as his deputy, and Zeng Zhilin was officially transferred from the Censorship Department to the Military Department.

Zhang Xiaofei was appointed as the head of the reserve Liliang training department, and considering that she was pregnant, the committee also decided that Wang Kunjun would temporarily take charge of the department when she was unable to preside over the work of the department due to health reasons.

Zhao Minan was appointed department head of the Ministry of Agriculture.

You Yuan was appointed as the department head of the material management department, and Sun Yangyang was officially transferred from the material management department to the Ministry of Commerce and Trade.

Xu Shao'an concurrently served as the head of the security department as a committee member, and Cheng Fei and Wang Feng were appointed as business supervisors of the first section ("Qingyuan Guard Class") and the second section ("Jingyuan Guard Class") respectively.

The appointment of the head of the military department is relatively complex, and because of its special nature, it adopts a two-track organizational structure. Administratively, Wang Kunjun is the head of the military department, and the deputy directors are Xu Shao'an (concurrently), Qian Yuanshan, and Zeng Zhilin. Militarily, a leading group composed of Qian Yuanshan, Zeng Zhilin, Tang Chao, and Muttel was responsible for the forward command. When the leading group disagreed, it was decided by Qian Yuanshan Zuihou.

The department heads of the infirmary and archives are still Lin Xiaoyu and Hu Xueying.

The appointment of the heads of various functional departments was completed, and the third plenary meeting came to an end. After Wang Kunjun made a concluding speech on behalf of the new committee, Zhang Weixin, the host of the conference, announced the closing of the plenary meeting, and asked the department heads of various functional departments to stay, and everyone held an enlarged committee meeting to study the development of the team next year.

In general, the enlarged meeting of the committee lasted much shorter than the plenary meeting, but the relevant resolutions reached had a much more obvious impact on the team brothers than the resolutions of the plenary meeting. Because, in this enlarged meeting, after repeated discussions among the participants, and taking into account the current development trend of the team, as well as the psychological expectations of the brothers after the department is upgraded, it was decided to increase the monthly salary of all personnel involved in the team's work, and the increase is not small. This is not only to reflect the benefits of this institutional reform to the team members, but also to allow the brothers to enjoy more of the benefits brought by the development of the team.

However, while the brothers are getting the benefits, they also have to bear the pressure. At the enlarged meeting, the committee asked all functional departments to submit their department's development and financial budget for the following year to the committee before the new year. Only those who have passed the committee's review and budget will be eligible for the appropriate appropriation. For those who do not pass the review, they will not be funded. Without appropriation, the work of the corresponding department or department will naturally stagnate and after the work stagnates, the team members involved in the work will naturally become idlers, and once they become idlers, then they will naturally not enjoy the preferential treatment of salary increases. In this way, the motivation of all team members is mobilized. ,

Of course, there are pros and cons to such a policy. It is said to be beneficial because it can motivate team members and give full play to the abilities of each traverser. It is said that it is disadvantageous because for those who are less capable than other members, or whose professional ability is limited by conditions, and cannot play a role for the time being, this kind of policy is tantamount to marginalizing them and making them "idlers" who do not work hard in the eyes of others.

Over time, this kind of "idler" is likely to be ridiculed by others, and thus become depressed or inferior. Once he can't stand this life anymore, then two possibilities arise. One is to be completely decadent and become a "moth" of the team. The other is to break away from the team in the hope that he can rely on his own insight and knowledge to be ahead of his time and create a new path for himself. The former will add some burden to the team, but it will not have a fundamental impact. The latter is too variable to be taken lightly.

When the Committee reached its enlarged meeting on the issue, there were divergent views. It is said that the team would rather spend more money to support it, and never let people go; Some say that it is possible to give them something to do through skill development; There are also those who say that it really doesn't work, and simply come to a physical destruction, and there are different opinions.

Zuihou, or Wang Kunjun waved his hand and said: "These methods you said have a certain amount of truth, but they can't solve the problem completely." In my opinion, it doesn't have to be that complicated. If there is a brother who wants to leave in the future, whether he is leaving because of Weishenme, it means that he can no longer stay in this team, and it means that this team is no longer suitable for him. In that case, why should we be strong? What's more, if you want to stay, you may not be able to keep it, and if you want to stay, it may not bring good results to the team. As the saying goes, 'it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go'. Since he doesn't want to stay on the team, let him go.

Most of the people in the team have not suffered any hardships or sins since they crossed the crossing, and they have not realized how lucky it is to have the protection of the team. Since he felt that he was a talented person, that he would not have a bright future here, and that he felt that his Wen Taowu strategy could not be used, it was also haode for him to go out and wander. If he can make a name for himself, we will be happy for him. If he can't make a name for himself, we're always ready to welcome him back.

However, there are a few ugly things that we have to say to him in the front. First, he can leave and pursue his ideals, but whether he is good or bad in the future, it has nothing to do with the team. The team will neither take advantage of him, nor will they take the blame for him. Second, he can choose his own development path, but he must not harm the interests of the team for his own development, and he must not cause trouble to the team for his own interests. If someone puts the team's interests at the expense of their own selfishness, the team will never be merciful to them. ”

When Wang Kunjun said a few words, the expression on his face was unusually serious. It can be said that this is the most stern tone of his speech since he crossed over, which is very different from his usual appearance of speaking kindly and treating kindly. Still, what he said made a lot of sense, and the attendees eventually accepted his advice and set out the coping mechanism that needs to be taken if a traverser leaves the group.

After the resolution was passed, whether or not to announce it to all team members became the focus of discussion. Some participants, concerned that the announcement might cause unnecessary nervousness, suggested that it should not be made public and that a team member should only be explained to him separately after he or she had made it clear that he was leaving. However, this suggestion did not receive the support of the majority of the participants, who believed that "the wise do not do dark things", and some words should be made clear in advance, so as not to complain at the right time.

So, at the banquet held in the Hall of Justice that night, which was attended only by the travelers, Wang Kunjun announced the resolution to all the travelers on behalf of the committee, and at the same time repeated what he had said at the enlarged meeting. After he finished speaking, although the expressions of the traversers present were different, none of them expressed unacceptability. Everyone's high interest because of the previous announcement of the wage increase was only temporarily affected, and soon the cup was changed again.

Early the next morning, except for the people from the military department who remained in the Flying Dragon Village, the other traversers all returned to their residences. Before descending the mountain, everyone agreed that they would spend Chinese New Year's Eve in the "Jingyuan" to welcome the upcoming Year of the Rabbit.
