Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In a coffee shop somewhere in the capital, a middle-aged man sat in front of Li Weidong.

The middle-aged man picked up the coffee cup very elegantly, took a sip to his mouth, and then said, "Chairman Li, thank you for your kind invitation, but my next work arrangements have been decided.

At that time, I was transferred from Xingsheng Machinery Manufacturing Group to the ministry. Now that the ministries and commissions have been reorganized, the organization has also arranged for me to return to Xingsheng Group and serve as the group's vice chairman. "

The subtext of the middle-aged man is that I am going to be the vice chairman of a large group soon, so naturally I don’t bother to be the leader of an agricultural machinery factory like yours.

Li Weidong smiled helplessly. Even though the annual salary he gave was very high, the man in front of him was obviously not that greedy for money, and the colorful banknotes could not impress him.

"Well, since Director Wang has already made a plan, I will toast you with coffee instead of wine. I wish Director Wang a bright future!" Li Weidong raised the coffee cup.

"Thank you for your kind words." The middle-aged man also said a few polite words to Li Weidong with a smile on his face, and then said goodbye and left.

Li Weidong sighed and murmured to himself: "Failed again!"

This middle-aged man is one of the talents introduced by Uncle He. He once worked in an enterprise and was later transferred to a ministry. Now that the organization has been streamlined and personnel have been transferred, he is returning to the company.

Li Weidong has met seven people with similar talents and collected a bunch of gourds, but no one is willing to join Fukang Agricultural Machinery.

This made Li Weidong a little frustrated, but he also knew that this was reality.

Private enterprises are still not very popular. Even if they are large-scale private enterprises and offer dozens of times the salary, these capable high-end talents are still unwilling to join.

What's more, these people already have families, and they are all well-known state-owned enterprises. If you work as a leader in a state-owned enterprise, your salary may not be that much, but your status will be very different, and you will have more credibility when speaking out.

Watching the middle-aged man gradually go away, Li Weidong took out a list from his arms and crossed out the middle-aged man's name.

Looking at the other people on the list, Li Weidong secretly thought to himself, there must be one or two people who are greedy for money!

"The next person's name is Yue An'an. This name is really easy to remember. He used to be the deputy director of Dayang Machinery Factory. I remember that Dayang Machinery Factory started out as a tractor manufacturer. Now it must be changed to Dayang Group!"

In the past two years, the management team of Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory has become a worry for Li Weidong.

Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory was formerly a county agricultural machinery factory. At that time, having a technical secondary school student was considered a senior talent in the factory.

Therefore, the management team of agricultural machinery factories generally has a low level of education and has not received any special business management training.

If Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory was still a small factory, there would be no problem with such a management team. However, as Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory continues to grow and develop, the capabilities of those original managers have become difficult to match the scale of the agricultural machinery factory.

Li Weidong's original plan was to tap the potential in the agricultural machinery factory and train a group of cadres.

Du Jiahai is the one Li Weidong is optimistic about. Li Weidong promoted Du Jiahai to the position of deputy factory director and focused on training.

Although Du Jiahai only has a technical secondary school education, he is not stupid, and he works very steadfastly. He never cheats or tricks. The key is that he is very obedient to Li Weidong. Li Weidong saw these advantages and decided to train Du Jiahai.

Over the past few years, Li Weidong discovered that Du Jiahai was a very good executor. If you assigned him a job, he would definitely complete it conscientiously without making any mistakes.

However, when it comes to business management, Du Jiahai has no spirituality, and he is even less good at decision-making.

If it were a deputy position, Du Jiahai would be very good, but if Du Jiahai were to be the leader of a company, it would be completely impossible. He doesn't have that kind of brain and lacks the ability to make decisions.

The plan to train cadres within the agricultural machinery factory failed, and Li Weidong could only tap talents from outside.

In the era of planned economy, domestic talents were concentrated in state-owned enterprises. By the late 1990s, although reform and opening up had been going on for twenty years, the best talents in the country were based in state-owned enterprises.

Especially business managers, they need time and resources to hone. Many leading cadres of large state-owned enterprises are really trained bit by bit from thousands of troops. I don’t know how many equally outstanding people have been eliminated. , to climb to that position. No matter the ability, experience, or connections, they are all top-notch.

In that era when government and enterprise were not separated, if executives of state-owned enterprises wanted to go further in their career, they naturally entered the country's administrative agencies, such as working in professional economic departments that directly manage enterprises.

There are many such professional economic departments. In terms of industry alone, there are the Ministry of Electric Power Industry, the Ministry of Coal Industry, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, the Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Ministry of Chemical Industry, and the Ministry of Electronics Industry.

In addition, departments such as the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the Textile Federation, and the Light Industry Federation are all departments that can directly manage enterprises.

Everyone wants to make progress, and the result is to choose the best among the best. Those who can enter these departments from enterprises must be the best in each enterprise, that is, the best ones are selected from among a group of state-owned enterprise executives with outstanding capabilities.

Now that the country is undergoing institutional reforms, more than a dozen ministries and commissions will be abolished and personnel will be streamlined. Li Weidong has taken up the idea of ​​these people.

These are the most outstanding talents in the country. As long as he can kidnap one of them, Li Weidong will be satisfied.

But now it seems that such high-end management talents are not so easy to abduct.

In the dormitory of a certain ministry within the Third Ring Road, Yue Ping'an put down the phone, with a trace of anger on his face.

"What's the matter? The work arrangements at Dayang Group are not going well?" his wife asked from the side.

Yue Anping nodded: "These people are so abominable. They even arranged for me to be the vice chairman of the union! The chairman of the union is just a jobless person, and he is also a deputy. It's really too much!"

"This is normal. The old factory director has retired after all, and the new factory director doesn't want to deal with you. Naturally, he doesn't want you to go back. Even if you go back, he won't dare to use you."

The wife paused for a moment and then continued, "But asking you to be the vice chairman of the labor union is a bit too much. When you were at Dayang Factory, you were the deputy director and the third-in-command in the factory after all! Even if you go back, They should also be treated as before.”

Yue Ping An sighed helplessly: "Now everything is a carrot and a pit. Which unit will be short of managers these days? Suddenly a former third-in-command suddenly appears and decentralizes power. Do you think other leaders will be willing?"

Moreover, the reasons given by others are very sufficient. Dayang Factory has been reorganized into Dayang Group. The original Dayang Factory has become a subsidiary of the group. I, the vice chairman of the trade union, am the vice chairman of the trade union of the entire group. I belong to the group cadres. In form, it is more formal than before. It’s gone up! "

The wife frowned and asked, "Then do you really plan to go back and be the vice president of the union?"

"What will happen if I don't go back? The organization will be streamlined and personnel will be transferred. There is no job for me in the capital!" Yue Ping An said.

"You've returned to Dayang, what should I do? It's been less than two years since I was transferred to the capital, do I have to go back with you again?" The wife frowned dissatisfied, and then said:

"Besides, our son has just entered high school. It's not easy for him to enter a key high school in Beijing. He will be able to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future. If I go back with you, how will he get into Tsinghua University?"

Yue An'an nodded: "If you delay anything, you can't delay your son's studies. Let's do this. You take your son and live in the capital first, and I will go back to Dayangchang by myself."

"Then where will we live?" The wife pointed to her feet and continued: "We are living in a staff dormitory provided by the ministry. After the organization is streamlined, you will no longer work in the capital. This staff dormitory will probably take a long time. Take it back!"

"That's a problem!" Yue Ping'an shook his head in distress, and then said: "If it doesn't work, you two can rent a house first and find a place close to your son's school. When your son comes home from studying in the evening, Be safer."

While the couple was talking, the phone on the table rang again.

"Have your work arrangements changed again?" the wife asked.

Yue Ping An immediately answered the phone and remembered a strange voice:

"Hey, are you Director Yue Security? My name is Li Weidong..."

Yue An'an was born as a front-line worker. Due to his outstanding work ability, he was promoted from an ordinary worker to a member of the leadership team of Dayang Machinery Factory in just a dozen years.

The old director of Dayang Factory admired Yue Angan very much and entrusted him with important responsibilities in work. He even planned to train Yue Angan as his successor. Under the cultivation of the old factory director, Yue An'an became the third-in-command of Dayang Factory before he was even forty years old.

If Yue Ping An continues to stay at Dayang Factory, he may really become the new factory director after the old factory director retires. However, a better opportunity also appeared in front of Yue Ping An, which was to work in a ministry.

From an enterprise to a ministry, that is a qualitative improvement. In an enterprise, you can at most be a factory director, but when you get a job in a ministry, you have a higher possibility.

The old factory director was also happy to see that his protégé could have a better future, so he helped Yue Ping An operate it and allowed Yue Ping An to enter the ministry.

Later, Yue An'an found a way and transferred his wife to work in the capital. His son also went to school in the capital, and the family was reunited.

But it is a pity that the plan cannot keep up with the changes and the reform of national institutions. More than a dozen ministries and commissions will be abolished and personnel will be streamlined.

The number of places to stay in Beijing is very limited, and they are basically taken care of those veteran cadres who are about to retire. Even Uncle He has to go to work in the local area, and Yue Ping'an is even less likely to have the opportunity to stay in the capital.

According to the principle of each going back to his own home and each finding his own mother, Yue Ping An should return to Dayang Machinery Factory.

At this time, the old factory director had retired, and Dayang Machinery Factory had also been reorganized into Dayang Group. It can be said that things have changed and people have changed.

The new leader of Dayang Group obviously does not want Yue Ping An to return. After all, Yue Ping An's abilities and qualifications are there. If he returns to the group, he might become a "Ming Ying Zong". If there is another change to seize the door, it will be troublesome. .

But things like organizational reorganization and personnel transfer are national policies. If Yue Ping An wants to go back, Dayang Group cannot refuse.

Ever since, the idle work of vice chairman of the labor union fell on Yue Ping An's head. He organized employee sports meetings on weekdays, showed up on behalf of the group when he met someone special, sent wreaths, etc., and his work was also very fulfilling.

However, for Yue Ping An, this kind of job is like going to jail! He was still in his prime and still had his own ideals and ambitions. He didn't want to cry and send wreaths to others every day.

What's more, if he returns to Dayang Group, what will his wife and children do in the capital?

In the coffee shop, Li Weidong explained his purpose.

"Go to your Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company?" Yue Ping'an frowned and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company should be a private enterprise, right?"

Li Weidong nodded: "It is a private enterprise, but its scale is still relatively large, even worse than that of state-owned enterprises."

"Chairman Li, I came from Dayang Machinery Factory, and now I have to return to Dayang Machinery Factory to continue working."

Yue Ping An's words were tantamount to a disguised rejection.

Li Weidong asked: "Director Yue, what position will you take if you return to Dayang Group?"

"This depends on organizational arrangements." Yue Ping'an replied.

Yue An'an didn't dare to tell the truth. He was in the position of vice chairman of the labor union and he was really embarrassed to tell the truth. It was too embarrassing.

Li Weidong continued: "Director Yue, no matter what position Dayang Group gives you, it will definitely not be the top leader, right? But if you come to our Fukang Agricultural Machinery, the top leader of the company will be you."

Yue Ping'an's expression froze for a moment after the high-ranking official presented it, but he immediately returned to his original state.

Although he is the top leader, he is only the top leader of a private company. He must be just a chicken head compared to Dayang Group!

There is a saying that goes well, it is better to be a phoenix tail than a chicken head!

Li Weidong continued: "In addition, I will give you an annual salary of 500,000 yuan. This is just the basic salary. There will also be bonuses, and there is no upper limit!"

After high-ranking officials, there are generous salaries!

At that time, half a million yuan was naturally a huge amount of money, and it was easy to buy a three-bedroom apartment in a prosperous area of ​​a first-tier city.

For the leaders of large companies, they can easily sign and approve a note worth 500,000 yuan, but their salary still has to be in accordance with the standards, and it is impossible to have an annual salary of 500,000 yuan.

Even if many foreign-funded companies recruit people, they cannot provide an annual salary of 500,000 yuan. According to the exchange rate at that time, 500,000 yuan is equivalent to 60,000 US dollars.

Sixty thousand US dollars is a high salary anywhere in the world. Even in the United States at that time, it was a salary that only financial practitioners, legal practitioners, and medical practitioners could get.

The annual salary of half a million yuan was so astonishing that Yue Ping An was a little distracted for a moment.

Yue An'an's expression fell into Li Weidong's eyes, and he suddenly felt happy.

"Finally met a money-grubbing man!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

Li Weidong then continued to add: "Within three years, Fukang Agricultural Machinery Company will also carry out shareholding reform. By then, the company's management team will hold a certain number of shares, can participate in board resolutions, and can also enjoy stock dividends."

If the previous promise was a high-ranking official and generous salary, then the promise of shares is equivalent to a promise for the future.

Anyone who has the ability is not willing to be a wage earner all his life. If he can get shares, it will definitely be very fragrant.

At least in Dayang Group, Yue Ping An would never get a share of the company in his lifetime.

Compared with the vice chairman of the labor union of Dayang Group, the conditions offered by Li Weidong are really too tempting.

Yue Ping An was already moved.

After all, if he returns to Dayang Group, he can only be the vice chairman of the labor union. Yue An'an is still in his prime and has a promising future. He doesn't want to cry all day long and go to the funeral parlor to deliver wreaths.

However, as a former executive of a state-owned enterprise and having worked in ministries and commissions, Yue An'an had been involved in the system for most of his life. It was not easy for him to accept it for a while when he was asked to work in a private enterprise.

So Yue An'an said, "Chairman Li, let me think about it again! After all, this is not my matter alone. I also need to seek the opinions of my family."

Yue An'an did not refuse directly, but asked for the opinions of his family members. This was regarded as relenting, so Li Weidong quickly added another fire.

He asked: "Director Yue, if you are willing to come to our Fukang Agricultural Machinery, we can also find ways to make arrangements for your family members."

"That's not necessary. My family members have been transferred to the capital to work, and their children are also studying in high school in the capital. Now the whole family has settled down in the capital." Yue Ping'an said.

"Has the housing problem been solved?" Li Weidong said intentionally or unintentionally; "Housing in the capital has always been relatively tight."

What Li Weidong said is true. For hundreds of years, housing in the capital has been a scarce resource.

"There is a staff dormitory in the ministry. At my level, it has two bedrooms and one living room. Although it is not big, it is still spacious." Yue Ping'an said.

"It's not a problem to always live in the dormitory! What's more, now that the organization is going to be streamlined, the dormitory is not safe."

Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued: "Director Yue, let's do this. If you come to our Fukang Agricultural Machinery, you can choose any of the three-bedroom apartments on sale in Beijing, and I will give you the entry gift!"

"The junior residence?" Yue An'an was startled. This solved his urgent need.

At this time, a common saying popped up in Yue An'an's mind: I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!

No pop-ups, timely updates!
