industrial overlord

Chapter 343 Entrusted with an important task
For employees like Ye Yuancai, it is a happy thing for the factory to be acquired by an American company.

Jiangshi Electric has been shut down for more than half a year. At first, the workers thought that the Department of Light and Chemical Industry should help them, but after waiting for such a long time, they did not see any specific measures from the Department of Light and Chemical Industry.In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Department of Light and Chemical Industry. Throughout the country, there are so many companies that are not doing well, and the state finances simply cannot provide so much money to rescue them.The most critical point is that to make Jiang Shidian stand up again, it is not just a matter of injecting liquidity, but also needs effective leaders to manage, and such leaders are still extremely scarce.Therefore, the Qinghua Department's attitude towards Jiang Shidian can only be to throw some money to support it. If it tries to invest huge sums of money to revitalize it, I am afraid that the money will eventually be wasted.

Today, the workers left behind in the factory have been completely disappointed. They don't know what will happen to the factory in the future.

Under such circumstances, there was a sudden rumor that an American-funded company planned to acquire Jiang Shidian. How could this not make Ye Yuancai feel happy?
Ye Yuancai is just an ordinary employee. He may have received some education such as "sense of responsibility as a master", and he may have chanted the slogan "Down with American imperialism" in the early years, but all these principles are ineffective in the face of the pressure of survival. cloud.What he can think of now is that American companies must be very rich, and American companies are generally very good at operating. If there is American capital to buy Jiangshi Electric, Jiangshi Electric should be brought back to life, and everyone's life should be improved. Great improvement.

"Manager Lin, are you saying that you contacted this American company?" Ye Yuancai asked Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua nodded and said, "Yes, the boss of this American-funded company is an overseas Chinese, and I happen to have some friendship with him."

Ye Yuancai said: "So, he agreed to buy our Jiangshi Electric because of your face, right? Manager Lin, you are really the savior of our Jiangshi Electric employees."

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said: "Master Ye is serious. After all, we are a system. In the past, Petrochemical Machinery and our Hanhua Machinery Factory were considered brothers. If you have difficulties, there is no reason for us not to help."

"Great, great." Ye Yuan said repeatedly, "Manager Lin, when will the Americans come to buy our factory?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "If it is soon, after the Lantern Festival, they should come to inspect it. However, they did not say that they will definitely buy it. Americans are very interested in profits. They want to see if Jiangshi Electric has investment value. Then a decision can be made.”

A cloud of melancholy came over Ye Yuancai's face. He looked at Shen Jiale, then at Lin Zhenhua, and asked in surprise, "Manager Lin, what do you mean by the investment value? Did you come to see me today? What do you want to say to me?"

Of course Ye Yuancai could guess that Lin Zhenhua's visit to his house was definitely not for New Year's greetings.In fact, an hour ago, Lin Zhenhua didn't know him at all, and he didn't know Lin Zhenhua either.Lin Zhenhua came to Jiang Shidian on a day like the first day of the new year, and he must have a plan to pay a new year greeting to an old middle-level cadre like him.

Lin Zhenhua just mentioned the issue of investment value, that is to say, Jiang Shidian is now a piece of meat on the chopping board, and people are thinking about which piece to cut for frying.As an employee of Jiang Shidian, Ye Yuancai felt a little sad and worried about this situation.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Master Ye, we are all sensible people, and there are some things that don't need to be twisted. You know the current situation of Jiang Shidian, and I know it too. The investor is my friend, and I have to be responsible to my friend. Jiangshi Electric has a site, equipment, and technology in the hands of its workers. This is the capital of our Jiangshi Electric. However, the current atmosphere of Jiangshi Electric seems to be not right. If foreign investors really come to invest, do you think they can go smoothly? to take over the factory?"

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I think it's enough."

"Why, Master Ye has also considered this question?" Lin Zhenhua was a little surprised. He thought that after he asked this question, Ye Yuancai would have to think for a while, but Ye Yuancai would give the answer directly.

Ye Yuancai replied: "Manager Lin, you may not understand, Xiao Shen should know, I have been working in the petrochemical machine, and I am very familiar with the factory. Xiao Shen's father, Master Shen Biao, was the master who first took me .”

"I heard from Xiao Shen." Lin Zhenhua said.It was precisely because of this relationship that he came here today to find Ye Yuancai.Shen Jiale told Lin Zhenhua that Ye Yuancai was her father's apprentice, he was very capable and kind.The purpose of Lin Zhenhua looking for Ye Yuancai is to pull him out to assist in the acquisition and digestion of Jiang Shidian.

Ye Yuancai said: "Later, I became the deputy manager of the installation company, and I was considered a middle-level cadre in the factory. I also knew a little about the decision-making in the factory. In the past two years, the factory has been in the hands of Niu Beisheng, and it has become more and more chaotic. I can see it in my eyes. Sometimes I think, what will happen if I come to contract this factory."

"What will happen?" Lin Zhenhua asked with interest.

Ye Yuancai said: "I have analyzed it. If I had contracted before Niu Beisheng took the contract, I guess the factory would not have declined to what it is today. I am not capable, but at least I would not be as greedy as Niu Beisheng, and I would not drag so many cadres into the water. .”

When Shen Jiale heard this, her eyes drooped a little. She thought that Jin Jianbo was also led astray by Niu Beisheng.If Niu Beisheng hadn't contracted the factory back then, maybe everything would have been different.

Ye Yuancai didn't notice Shen Jiale's mood, and he continued: "However, after Niu Beisheng contracted, Jiang Shidian has been completely different. Now the atmosphere in the factory is very bad, and some lazy people are very marketable. Some These people are here, even if I am asked to contract this factory now, I dare not say that I can run the factory well. The interpersonal relationship is too complicated to manage.”

"The lazy people you're talking about, what exactly are you referring to?" Lin Zhenhua asked tentatively.

Ye Yuancai hesitated for a moment and said: "There are several such people. Let me just say that there is a worker in our workshop. His name is Sun Xiangyun. He was a little skilled at first, but he has changed in recent years. In the past half a year, The workers in the factory went to sit in the Qinghua hall to ask for wages, and Sun Xiangyun took the lead every time, and now he has dozens of buddies around him, and no one dares to mess with him."

Lin Zhenhua remembered that when he went to the Qinghua Office, he happened to meet Jiang Shidian's workers to sit quietly. Now there is a burly man with a swollen face, who looks like a little boss. I don't know if it is the one Ye Yuancai mentioned Sun Xiangyun.

"It wouldn't be a big problem if he took everyone to fight about wages. Maybe he is more enthusiastic about collective affairs?" Lin Zhenhua said deliberately.

Ye Yuancai shook his head and said: "Manager Lin, you don't know, if he really takes the lead in making trouble for the sake of the workers in the factory, there is nothing wrong with it, maybe I will respect him. But you know, every time he goes south, he makes trouble When he came back from his salary, he had to find an accountant to report him travel expenses, transportation expenses and missed meals, which cost more than 100 yuan at a time."

"Why!" Lin Zhenhua asked dumbfounded, "Then your accountant will also report to him?"

Ye Yuancai said: "It doesn't count if the accountant talks about this matter. Our current factory manager is temporarily seconded from other places. Every time, Sun Xiangyun takes his dozens of people to surround the factory manager and insists on forcing The factory manager is not allowed to sign on his list. If the factory manager refuses to agree, he will argue with the factory manager, claiming that he has credit for it, and in the end, the factory manager has no choice but to give in.”

"Has this become a gangster?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Ye Yuancai said: "The problem is that he did take people to the light chemical department to get his salary, so he went around saying that he had credit for it. Many workers also thought that he was justified, so the factory manager had nothing to do with him. Every time After reimbursement of the money in the factory, he took people to drink and gamble, making a mess."

Hearing Ye Yuancai's description, Lin Zhenhua suddenly thought of McVeigh from Tiger Factory, he was a trade union leader.This kind of person who has a certain prestige among the workers, if he does things out of a common heart, can be communicated with completely, because Lin Zhenhua's intention is to make Jiang Shidian better, which is consistent with the interests of the workers .

But if people like Sun Xiangyun are selfish, what's the difference between them and Niu Beisheng?I'm afraid that at that time they will think more about how to satisfy their personal interests. The interests of the country, the collective and the workers are just props they use to decorate themselves.

"Master Ye, in your opinion, what should my American friends do if they want to buy Jiang Shidian?" Lin Zhenhua began to ask questions.

"Difficult." Ye Yuancai said, "First of all, your friends must not harm the interests of our factory workers, otherwise, not only they will make trouble, but I will also object."

"You can rest assured on this point. I use my personality to guarantee that this acquisition will fully consider the protection of the interests of Jiangshi Electric's workers." Lin Zhenhua solemnly promised.He knew that Ye Yuancai put this issue first, and he was expressing his position, that is, he would never help Lin Zhenhua or the American boss to harm his fellow workers.

Ye Yuancai continued: "The second point is to have a certain amount of courage. Our current factory manager has no courage at all. Whenever people like Sun Xiangyun make a fuss, the factory manager will calm down. Crying children have sweets, honest workers There is no sugar to eat. If this happens, the atmosphere in the factory will only get worse."

"By being courageous, do you mean that you will resolutely fight against Sun Xiangyun and the others?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Ye Yuan thought for a while and said: "You can put it this way. In my opinion, whether to fight or not is mainly based on whether there is reason. Reasonable people travel all over the world, but unreasonable ones can't walk an inch. As a leader, one needs to have a bowl of water and deal with conflicts. At that time, no matter whether the Chinese side or the American side, the key is to see who is right and who is wrong. People like Sun Xiangyun, if they make trouble for no reason, everyone can see it. At this time, the factory will deal with them seriously, and I think most workers will agree. Manager Lin , Don’t worry, the vast majority of Jiang Shidian’s workers have a sense of justice.”

"I understand." Lin Zhenhua let go of his heart, and he said to Ye Yuancai: "Master Ye, thank you for your guidance. I came here today, and there is one more thing, and that is to ask you to come out to assist the manager of the US side. what do you think?"

"I don't know how to speak American." Ye Yuancai said with some embarrassment.

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. He is said to be an American manager, but he is actually an overseas Chinese who speaks Chinese. I am just worried that he is not familiar with the situation of Jiangshi Electric. You come out and help."

Ye Yuancai said: "I have no education, how can I take on such a big responsibility? Besides, there are many middle-level cadres in the factory, why singled me out?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Master Ye, I have learned about your situation from Master Shen and Master Shen. They recommended you together. They said that you are fair and have good management skills. I heard what you said just now. I also think that you see things very thoroughly and have a sense of justice, so I officially decided to hire you as the deputy general manager of the Chinese side."

"I can't do that. I can't be a deputy manager." Ye Yuancai felt genuinely panicked, "Manager Lin, if you think highly of me, just let me come out as a middle-level cadre. Our deputy general manager of Jiang Shidian is I'm a department-level cadre, and I'm only a sub-section level, so I can't do it."

Lin Zhenhua said: "What department level and department level? In the future, Jiangshi Electric will become a joint venture. Americans don't recognize this kind of seniority ranking. Master Ye, don't worry, I'm not just asking you to come out alone. Xiao Shen also recommended some other people to me. If you have a suitable candidate in mind, you can also recommend them to me. I plan to hire more than a dozen decent masters to form the new management of Jiangshi Electric. In addition, We Hanhua Heavy Industry will also send some cadres to work with you."

Speaking to this extent, Ye Yuan knew that Lin Zhenhua had come prepared, and he definitely did not just talk about it.After all, he is only a 35-year-old man, and he still has some passion for doing things in his heart. Hearing Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, he nodded solemnly and said, "Manager Lin, since you trust me so much, I won't say anything polite." Yes, I am willing to do what you have entrusted to me. If in the future you feel that I am not doing well or doing things unfairly, you can just get rid of me."

"Thank you, Master Ye." Lin Zhenhua said happily.

"By the way, Manager Lin, what products will the Americans ask us to make after they buy Jiangshidian?" Ye Yuancai quickly entered the role and began to care about the operation of the company.

Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and said: "We still make refrigerators, but they are exported to the United States. Also, Wei Dongqi, your former technical section chief, has completed the design of refrigerator compressors. I want to bring it to Jiangshi Electricity to do it. From now on, we will no longer be limited by compressors."

"That's great, I can trust the things Chief Wei created." Ye Yuan said with a chuckle, "Manager Lin, it's almost noon, you can have dinner with me, let's talk about how to get Jiang Shi electrician Let's do it."
