A series of reform measures of Beiji were later ridiculed as "Sun Tzu's reform". There was once a political cadre who predicted: The law changer will not end well, Shang Ying's law change will end up in a five-horse corpse, although Sun Heping will not be divided - after all, it is a modern society, but it is very likely that he will be beaten by the masses and beaten into a turtle grandson. However, the prophecy did not come true. Sun Heping moved the cheese of the staff of the department, and the workers were happy to watch. Then the laid-off people were diverted, and the rebound became fierce, and many people ran to Qian Jianguo endlessly, either hoarsely exhausted, or in tears.

Qian Jianguo's heart is also very complicated. The reform impacted the old system of Beiji and hurt his face, but the new director was chosen by him, and he had to support it, at least not oppose it. You are soft-hearted, you can't be ruthless, what can you do if the new factory director doesn't pull down his face? Keep messing around? I can't get mixed up if I want to, and the road to bankruptcy is at my feet. To reorganize and resume production, Hanzhong Group has requirements, only 4,000 people. The engine produced by Beiji is a product but also a commodity, and it is a commodity to have a cost concept, and the organ has raised thousands of people, and six or seven thousand people have been arranged in the posts of three or four thousand people in the workshops of each branch, and the gods have to lose their pants. This truth seems to be simple, but many people do not understand that the product consciousness of the planned economy is deeply ingrained in everyone's minds, including his Qian Jianguo.

However, so many old comrades kept running to his house, and he couldn't do it without a reaction, so he talked to Sun Heping once. reminded that the laid-off diversion involves many people's jobs, and the resistance will not be small, which makes Sun Heping feel points. Sun Heping said: I have a number, and Director Li of the second branch factory came to me after reading the diversion plan, saying that he had a radish and a pit there, and he could not be diverted. I was not polite, and I told him in person, you can't divide this stream, so we will change the factory director to divide it. Qian Jianguo was busy: Lao Li is an eighth-level craftsman, upright, and he has to stay if he can stay! Sun Heping may be waiting for him to take over, and with a wave of his hand, he said: Okay, you go and stay, the premise is to complete the diversion task. Speaking of Director Wang in the sand turning workshop, he was the first to report the diversion list, and even wrote his own names and the names of the four team leaders. He approved on the spot. Qian Jianguo was in a hurry, hey, we can't be so angry! They are all business backbones, they are all gone, and the sand turning workshop is closed? Sun Heping said: Mention four more newcomers. Qian Jianguo unconsciously accepted the trick again, don't decide this matter, the four team leaders, I'll find out about it! Sun Heping said: Okay, those who regret it can stay......

Qian Jianguo knew in his heart that Beiji had accumulated deep disadvantages, and freezing three feet was not a day's cold. Now Sun Heping is under pressure to start an ice-breaking journey, and there are many difficulties, and he can't do it if he doesn't accept it. He was asked to help with the bigger picture and did not represent his support for such drastic initiatives. The change should be changed, but it can't be so urgent, it always has to be done step by step, and it is easy to fall and fight if the step is too urgent.

However, an incident occurred during this period that changed Qian Jianguo's view. It was the twenty-ninth day of Sun Heping's tenure and the day when the Beijing Machinery Factory paid his salary. A phone call suddenly came from Java - the marine engine that Sun Heping had sold with great difficulty before returning to China had been returned due to quality problems. According to the agreement between Sun Heping and Boss Song, Jakarta Trading Company must refund the full amount unconditionally. Sun Heping had nothing to say, not only promised to refund Boss Song, but also granted Boss Song the regional agency right of the "three-step pour" rat poison as compensation for the loss of goodwill. As a result, more than $2 million that was scheduled to be recorded in the account was lost. This money and the 10 million borrowed by Hanzhong Group were originally going to pay wages, which was the biggest benefit after the new factory director took office, and the workers were waiting to receive the money.

Sun Heping was in a hurry, and he Tianye drove to the provincial capital overnight to find Yang Liu, the leader of Hanzhong Group, for help. When the car arrived at the provincial capital, it was still dark, and the two of them shrank their heads in the car, and as soon as the morning dawned, Sun Heping bought tofu brain meat and roasted millet porridge, and knocked on the door of Yang Liu's house respectfully. The benefits of participating in Hanzhong Group are obvious, Yang Liu directly called the group's financial director, and lent 15 million to Beiji, which implemented the salary of Beiji Factory that month, and did not let the new director break his promise.

On the way back from the provincial capital, Sun Heping made a phone call to Qian Jianguo and asked him to arrange for the batch of unqualified backlog products to be moved out of the warehouse and placed in an open space in front of the factory history showroom, saying that he was going to hold an on-site meeting. Qian Jianguo didn't think much about it, so he arranged it as required. Back in the factory, Sun Heping immediately held a meeting - the on-site meeting was turned into a factory-wide staff meeting, and he delivered an impassioned speech. The speech was passionate and tragic, and was later called the "Breakthrough Declaration". It was after listening to this declaration that Qian Jianguo decided to retire from the post of secretary and bid farewell to the stage of Beiji completely.

Qian Jianguo remembers clearly that it was a scorching summer, and it was so hot that it was breathless. Without a trace of wind, the branches and leaves of the hundred-year-old locust tree in front of the factory history room were motionless, and under the shade of the tree, the black crowd was silent. Sun Heping's sad and angry voice echoed over the courtyard-

Comrades, standing here today, my heart is extremely heavy! Please take a look at the pile of products in front of you, is this a product? It's scrap copper and rotten iron, it's industrial waste! In the 29 days since I took office, I have often been surrounded by cadres and the masses, and some people pointed at my nose and said: You Sun Heping has become the director of the Beijing Machinery Factory, so you have to find money to pay everyone's salary. Isn't that right? Right! If a factory director can't even pay the wages of employees, what else do you want to do? Therefore, as soon as I took office, I made a promise: from the beginning of my post, I will never owe you a penny of wages again!

The crowd applauded, and Qian Jianguo couldn't help but applaud when he looked at Sun Heping.

Sun Heping continued: However, it wasn't until last night that I realized that I might have to break my word. Why did you break your promise? Because there were a large number of overseas returns last night, more than 2 million dollars of returns! There is a gap in funding! I was frustrated and angry! Tian Ye and other comrades and I urgently studied, broke into the home of the main leading comrades of the Hanzhong Group at night, begged my father to tell my grandmother, and found all the money, so today's salary was not paid in the morning, but it will definitely be paid in the afternoon!

There was another thunderous applause.

Qian Jianguo noticed that at this time, tears flashed in Sun Heping's eyes: Comrades, I have the responsibility to find money, what about you? It is our responsibility to come up with good products! So that I can get my money back in the market! But the fact today is that the market gave me a slap in the face and hit me with a gold star in the eye!

A pair of eyes looked at Sun Heping, and many people's eyes also showed sadness and indignation.

Sun Heping was excited, and blurted out: Comrades, from now on, everyone is not only an employee, but also a shareholder! Our factory has raised funds twice and has issued 88 million shares of internal employee shares, and will continue to issue additional shares in the future, so that the interests of the enterprise and the interests of employees are consistent......

Before he could finish speaking, a stunned discussion suddenly began—

Why do you need to raise funds?

That is, a piece of candy didn't reach your mouth, and the knife came down first!

Let the new factory grow up, anyway, I don't have the money to buy this broken stock......

Sun Heping heard the discussion and quietly changed the topic: The matter of issuing additional shares will not be discussed today. What I want to say is that when you produce this kind of waste product, as an employee, you can't eat, you can't pay your salary! As a shareholder, you have to lose your pants, don't expect anyone to pay you back! We must realize that a completely different era has arrived! Quality, reputation and capital are the guarantee of Beiji's success in this era! Today, let's say goodbye to the past with actions!

With that, Sun Heping took a sledgehammer from the staff, walked to the scrap heap, and picked up the hammer high. The hammer fell with a bang, and a spark splashed. Director Peng, the third branch of the factory that produced these engines, couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed the hammer and said: Director Sun, I'll do it myself. And then smashed. The workshop directors and team leaders of the third branch factory took the hammer in turn and took turns to smash the machine, and they were obviously ashamed of their products. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the cadres and workers of the whole factory watched this scene silently, everyone was touched in their hearts, and the old secretary Qian Jianguo also felt ashamed.

Years later, according to the rumors of those present, a strange scene occurred - somehow, just as the scrap machine was smashing, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up on the flat ground, the branches of the hundred-year-old locust tree shook violently, and the leaves rolled like waves. Hundreds of crows flew out of the green shade, circling and chirping, like a dark cloud blocking the sun. Oh, the crows are far away, and they are no longer seen on the old locust tree.

There are superstitious old workers who recall that it is this group of crows that settle in the old locust tree, and the North Machine Factory is not as good as a year. Some of them also asked Sun Heping for confirmation: Director Sun, you fell from a tree when you were a child, and there were no crows in the old locust tree at that time, right? You're digging a magpie's nest, right? At that time, we were not only in Pingzhou City, but also a famous enterprise in Hanjiang Province, and the free vegetable soup and oil and water supplied in the canteen were more than other factories! Now that the crow has run away, the North Machine Factory is going to be transferred......
