industrial overlord

Chapter 263
In a newly opened cafe on Huaihai Road in Shanghai.

Lin Zhenhua sat in a corner by himself, with a cup of coffee worth 5 yuan in front of him.It was afternoon at this time, and it should be time for coffee in the west, but the whole cafe was empty, except for Lin Zhenhua, there was only one other person sitting in the corner, and two foreigners were talking about something.

The coffee shop was definitely an advanced place in China at that time. According to Xiang Zhe's introduction to Lin Zhenhua, this coffee shop is usually visited by foreigners working in Shanghai, and Chinese people rarely come.Because of this, Xiang Zhe made an appointment with Lin Zhenhua to wait here, because this is considered a quiet place.

The door opened, and Xiang Zhe walked in with a few people.When he saw Lin Zhenhua in the corner, he turned his head and said something to his companions. Those people seemed to have nervous expressions on their faces, and they followed Xiang Zhe and walked towards Lin Zhenhua.

"Zhenhua, these are the people I told you about." Xiang Zhe said to Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua stood up, stretched out his hand to those people, and said, "It's an honor to meet you all. My name is Lin Zhenhua, and I am the deputy general manager of Hanhua Heavy Industry Group. I sincerely hope that you can join Hanhua."

At the supplier bidding meeting a few days ago, Xiang Zhe fulfilled his mission and arranged things in an orderly manner, which won unanimous praise from the leadership of Hanhua Heavy Industry and staff such as Bi Min and Tian Xiaolan.After several difficult interviews, Xie Chunyan, Su Baocheng, and Zhu Tiejun all gave Xiang Zhe high marks, and agreed to hire Xiang Zhe as the assistant to the general manager of Hanhua Heavy Industries to assist Lin Zhenhua in his work.

Xiang Zhe went back to his original factory with the neat style of an MBA to go through the formalities of suspension without pay. He came to Xunyang with luggage consisting of hundreds of books, and formally joined Lin Zhenhua's team.

Now that they are stirring the same pot, Lin Zhenhua and Xiang Zhe no longer use polite terms for each other.Xiang Zhe was a few years older than Lin Zhenhua, so Lin Zhenhua directly called him Lao Xiang.And Xiang Zhe also followed Lin Zhenhua's request and called Lin Zhenhua by his first name, and only used the title "Manager Lin" in formal occasions. The name "Mr. Lin" was not appropriate back then, and it seemed too high-profile.

After Xiang Zhe took office, he conducted a comprehensive understanding of Hanhua Heavy Industry's talent team and found that the company's high-end talents were in short supply, which was completely incompatible with the company's business structure and scale.

In terms of technical talents, Lin Zhenhua is considered a relatively comprehensive talent, but now he does more management and less technology.Others are either old-generation technicians like Wei Jingwen and Wei Dongqi, or fresh graduates like Ma Jie. There is a big gap between them.

Management talents are even more shabby. Chen Weiguo, Zhu Tiejun, Lang Dong and others are all veterans in their fifties. Although they have some management experience, they don’t know much about market operations, let alone an international perspective. .A group of young cadres such as Cen Youjun, Chu Hongyang, Peng Shaozhe, and Zhao Yongqun are all direct descendants of Lin Zhenhua. Their greatest strength is that they have enough loyalty to Lin Zhenhua, but their management ability needs to be improved.

"It's unbelievable that such a team can bring business to Frankfurt and make an output value of 15 billion a year." Xiang Zhe shook his head and said to Lin Zhenhua.

"I can't help it. I only have this condition." Lin Zhenhua explained, "At the critical moment, it is up to everyone to bite the bullet and charge upwards. After such a pass, they also rushed down."

Xiang Zhe said: "This is the characteristic of an entrepreneurial enterprise. Everyone is passionate. The enterprise is in a period of rapid growth, and various problems will be covered up. But this situation cannot last. To maintain the long-term development of the enterprise, we must It has a professional team and relies on scientific management. For Hanhua Heavy Industry, especially talents with an international background are needed.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Why don't I know this, but, in this environment, where do you want me to find talents with an international background? Returnees like you are what I wish for."

"Sea turtle?" Xiang Zhe asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Returning from overseas..."

"Uh...it sounds like the name of a marine creature." Xiang Zhe said depressedly. After working with Lin Zhenhua for a period of time, he was constantly overwhelmed by the new words that Lin Zhenhua said, but he had to Admittedly, these neologisms do sound pretty powerful.

"Zhenhua, in fact, there are many...returnees in China. Like me, they don't use what they have learned, and they are idle in various units. I wonder if we can recruit these people to enrich our team. We Chinese Huazhong Industry has an advantage, that is, the concept of leadership is very open, which is what we returnees look forward to the most." Xiang Zhe said.

"How to dig?" Lin Zhenhua asked, "We can't put up posters to recruit people, can we?"

Xiang Zhe said: "When I was in Shanghai, some of our returnees often gathered together. I know many such people. Are you interested in going to Shanghai with me? You can talk to them personally. , I believe that your charm will definitely be able to conquer them."

"No problem." Lin Zhenhua readily agreed.

In this way, Xiang Zhe and Lin Zhenhua came to Shanghai together.Xiang Zhe contacted those friends in advance and told everyone that there was such a thing, please come and gather together.I chose this coffee shop as the meeting place.

"This is Hu Gui, an industrial engineer with a master's degree from MIT. His ideal is to establish a large enterprise like Texas Instruments in China." Xiang Zhe began to introduce his friends to Lin Zhenhua one by one.

Hu Gui is 27 and [-] years old. He is handsome and has a gentle personality. He is not as flamboyant as Xiang Zhe.He walked up to shake hands with Lin Zhenhua, and said with a smile, "My ideal has changed now. I want to go back to my hometown, Dezhou, to acquire two acres of land and engage in agricultural projects."

"Industrial engineers are the soul of a factory. People, property, production, supply and marketing in the factory all need to be planned by you. Even as small as how to arrange the machine tools in a workshop to be most efficient, you have the final say. You like this It would be a pity if more talented people go to engage in agricultural engineering." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Manager Lin has studied industrial engineering?" Hu Wei asked curiously. From what Lin Zhenhua said just now, he could know that Lin Zhenhua knew something about his major.It is really not easy to find someone who knows what industrial engineering is in China.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I don't dare to say that I have studied it, I just read a few articles in this regard. I heard that the US industry is now developing a flexible manufacturing system. We at Hanhua Heavy Industry are currently facing the problem of small batches and many types of products. I'm thinking about asking an expert in industrial engineering to help us with manufacturing planning."

"Does Manager Lin know about flexible manufacturing?" Hu Wei was very happy. "When I was in the United States, this concept was just proposed. By the way, Nazemetz recently published an article on the development of flexible manufacturing..."

"Stop, stop, old Hu, let's talk about this later." Xiang Zhe quickly pressed Hu Gui down, and if he continued, it became an academic seminar.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hu Wei smiled and waved to Lin Zhenhua, "Manager Lin, let's talk about this issue later."

Lin Zhenhua laughed and said: "There is a chance. Come on, everyone sit down, order what you want to drink, I will treat you."

Everyone sat down one after another, and the waiter came over and asked everyone what drinks they wanted. As a result, everyone except Xiang Zhe looked at a loss, and it was Xiang Zhe who placed the order for everyone in the end.

"I heard from Xiang Zhe that everyone has returned from studying abroad. Why, do you rarely go to coffee shops abroad?" Lin Zhenhua asked strangely.

Everyone laughed together, and one of them said: "When we study abroad, we all want to spend a coin in half. We have never been to a cafe. Among the few of us, it is Lao Xiang who compares coffee to cafes." Familiar, when he was at Penn, he spent three nights a week in the cafe."

"Xu Wei, please speak clearly, please!" Xiang Zhe scolded with a smile, "Manager Lin is my boss, if he thinks I'm a playboy, I will be miserable."

Lin Zhenhua also asked jokingly: "Why, old Xiang, what brother Xu said is true?"

"I worked part-time in a cafe serving dishes." Xiang Zhe said, "Old Xu worked part-time in a Chinese restaurant back then, so he doesn't know coffee, he only knows Cantonese cuisine."

"Hehe, Manager Lin, let me meet you. My name is Xu Wei. I graduated from Oklahoma State University and majored in industrial software. Now, I'm working as a computer teacher at TV University, teaching BASIC language." Xu Wei introduced himself to Lin Zhenhua.

Seeing Xu Wei started, the rest of them also started to introduce themselves:
"Fang Yanwu, from the University of California, San Francisco, majoring in chemical engineering."

"He Fei, studying Marketing, from North Carolina."

"..."

The academic qualifications reported one by one are all resounding.In the early 80s, the people who could be sent to study abroad were all the best in the country.The high gold content, even from Lin Zhenhua's point of view, has to be admired.

But such a group of people are left idle in various units, doing boring jobs.Hu Gui, who studied industrial engineering, was stunned when he arrived at the unit, but no leader knew what his major meant.He told the leader that he knew operations research, and the leader suddenly realized that he was directly assigned to the administrative department, which was responsible for managing the factory's car team. It is said that there is a word "operation" in transportation and logistics.

"How about it, Lao Hu, come to us. We will complete the production of more than 40 sets of fertilizer equipment within one year, involving construction sites in more than 20 countries, more than 100 cooperative enterprises, dozens of types of work, and thousands of workers. How to allocate these resources depends entirely on your operational research." Lin Zhenhua patted Hu Gui on the shoulder and said.

"After I go, do you really want me to do this job?" Hu Gui asked worriedly.

"Of course, in Hanhua Heavy Industry, we pay attention to making the best use of people and making the best use of things." Lin Zhenhua said, "We don't talk about seniority here, we will go up if you have the ability, and step down if you don't. Excellent talents like you, we We will provide you with all convenient conditions and give you the space to fully display your talents."

"That's great, as long as I can do my job, no matter how hard or tired I am." Hu Gui said happily.

After Hu Gui got a satisfactory answer, Xu Wei stepped forward and asked, "Manager Lin, do you need software engineers?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course we need it. We are going to build CNC machine tools soon. When the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to program it."

Fang Yanwu asked: "I study petrochemicals, do you have any consideration in this regard in the future?"

Lin Zhenhua replied: "Our goal is to overcome the problem of localization of 10 tons of ethylene equipment within 80 years. Are you interested in participating?"

"No problem, I participated in a similar project when I was in the United States." Fang Yanwu replied confidently.

He Fei said, "What does Manager Lin think of Marketing?"

Lin Zhenhua replied: "Marketing is the lifeblood of an enterprise. What we lack most now are marketing experts with international background."

"Can you give me the position of marketing director?" He Fei asked Lin Zhenhua a difficult problem.

Lin Zhenhua chuckled: "It depends on whether you can sell yourself to our company's board of directors. If you can't even sell yourself, how can we believe that you can sell the company's products?"

Everyone you talk to me, the more you talk, the more excited you are.These people have been suffocated in the work unit for a long time, and finally saw a glimmer of hope, and their long-sleeping ambitions were aroused.

When Xiang Zhe called them, he had already said that Hanhua Heavy Industry is a very dynamic company, which made them somewhat expectant.Now that they saw the young manager of Hanhua Heavy Industries with their own eyes, they were immediately attracted by his temperament.Accustomed to seeing the old-fashioned faces of domestic business leaders, Lin Zhenhua's cheerful and sunny personality, his understanding of technology, and respect for talents all gave the returnees an urge to die for their confidantes.

"Everyone, Hanhua Heavy Industry is in great need of talents in all aspects. On behalf of the company, I sincerely welcome everyone to come to Hanhua Heavy Industry to develop your abilities. If you don't worry, you can quit your current job and go to our Hanhua Heavy Industry If you still have some doubts, we welcome you to leave without pay or even part-time jobs. I promise that after you come to our company, you will be treated favorably, and everyone will be satisfied with the house, ticket, and car.” Lin Zhenhua said.

"Where's your wife?" Fang Yanwu asked with a smile.

"No problem, we can arrange family members." Lin Zhenhua replied.

Hu Gui laughed: "Manager Lin, you misunderstood, Xiao Fang is still a bachelor, he is asking if you can provide him with a wife."

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's even more of a problem, we can see beautiful girls everywhere, I'm afraid you'll be too picky."

"That's it. I'll write a resignation report when I get back," Xu Wei said.

He Fei took out two pieces of letter paper from his pocket, and showed off to everyone: "I wrote it yesterday, anyone who needs it can refer to it."

　After writing a report all day, the oranges have been squeezed into nine-made tangerine peels.Squeeze out a chapter of 4000 words and send it out before 24:9.I can only update this chapter today, sorry. ………Thanks to the students who voted for Chengzi today, the monthly ticket list for this book in the urban area has climbed to No. 8, and the next goal is No. [-]. Do you still have tickets? …………
