Chapter 59 Whose future is the company?
"... In short, if it is not changed, then in a thousand years, this country may exist in this world, but the company has long been destroyed in the long river of history. Companies and countries must have appropriate dividing lines. Only in this way can companies be avoided from being hit by political enemies at a certain opportunity in the future and thus become silent. The company needs not to seek benefits from the Prime Minister, but to be widely present in the government.
Standing in front of the general manager, Yu Youcheng expressed his ideas one by one.
"As for those interests formed by investment, managers, maybe I have a lot of contact with others, but I believe that when a company needs it at a certain period, they are the first to take the blame! Their interests seem to be integrated with the company, but this kind of integration is difficult to avoid some of them trying to gain more benefits through the destruction of the company. You must know that the establishment of a dynasty and the destruction of a dynasty can often bring the greatest benefits! Now because of the birth of a dynasty, they have gained benefits, and in the future, there may be people who hope for the destruction of the dynasty! This is the ever-changing truth!"
After listening to this speech, Mu Xiangyue nodded in admiration. He looked at Yu Youcheng and then asked.
"So, how do you think companies should maintain their relationship with the government?"
“It’s very simple.”
"Simple?"
Mu Xiangyue was stunned. Yu Youcheng had spent nearly an hour talking about the intimacy between the company and the government, which would lead to the bondage between the company and the government in the future, and this would not take advantage of the company's development.
"Say, let me see what your simple method is..."
"The easiest and most effective way to solve these problems is the positioning of the company. The company is first and foremost a company, and what we need to ensure is the interests of the company."
When Yu Youcheng finished speaking, Mu Xiangyue shook her head and then looked at him and said.
"No, Zixin. You don't know that when we established this company, the chairman once had an idea that in the future, the company will not gain the respect of the outside world because of its huge scale and unrivalled financial resources. Instead, it will gain the respect of the world through its own actions. In many cases, we do not value the interests of the company too much. In fact, at some times, the chairman is more willing to regard the company as a country, or a department of the country."
A slightly hoarse voice spit out from Mu Xiangyue's throat, and then he finished drinking the tea in the tea cup in one sip.
“It’s hard to believe,”
Mu Xiangyue said helplessly.
"As an enterprise, we have to carry out the functions of the country. Just like the company development plan for one industry and one enterprise that we have implemented now, we seem to have given up a lot and sold a large number of small and limited-scale enterprises to others. But on the other hand? We have established a leading enterprise in various industries, and in this process, the company has made great progress, and similarly, other enterprises have also developed. Of course, in this process, we have completed a certain technology transfer, so that many technologies are not just hidden in the company. This kind of thing seems extremely unreasonable, but it is beneficial to the country. Maybe it only takes once in a lifetime..."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Mu Xiangyue shrugged and said:
"It is only once in a lifetime, when sacrifices are made for the country."
"but."
After sighing, Mu Xiangyue said in extreme calmness.
“The company is not supporting its competitors, and in fact, we benefit more from it!”
The manager's explanation made Yu Youcheng a little confused. In his opinion, the technology transfer to other non-company companies was simply to support his competitors. Just when he was puzzled, Mu Xiangyue's face showed a sense of pride...
"Perhaps, you don't think so. Although we charge transfer fees or use stocks as compensation for technology transfer, it is very limited. The seemingly almost free transfer of technology has won the praise of the industry, but they know that in this process, we have obtained a country!"
“Get a country?”
Looking at the manager dumbfoundedly, Yu Youcheng didn't understand how the company got a country.
“Yes, it’s a country!”
Mu Xiangyue replied, standing up and walking towards the window.
"However, if we want to fully implement this plan, it depends largely on whether we can adhere to the principle of one industry and one enterprise. In the past two years, China's industry has been fully developed. In the past year alone, more than 50,000 enterprises have been built across the country. From the beginning of the year to now, the twelve branches of Lianyungang Machine Tool Company have sold nearly 60,000 gold-cutting machine tools to customers outside the company, while the company's companies have only purchased more than 40,000 units. It seems that the company's scale seems to be impacting, and the company's market has also been impacted, but..."
After pondering for a moment, Mu Xiangyue continued.
"Take an automobile company as an example, a "lightning" truck consists of up to 30,000 parts, many of which are small parts. If these parts are produced by automobile companies, they will cause waste of production capacity. Perhaps in the design process of automobile companies, the Ford method we refer to, even automotive boards, are produced by automobile companies themselves, but waste of production capacity and funds is something we must consider. By subcontracting a large number of parts to small enterprises and purchasing parts from small enterprises, it can not only drive China's economic development, but also a factory with an annual output of 100,000 trucks, with a subcontract of more than 200,000 parts per year, can drive the development of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, thereby driving the development of the national economy. However, Zixin, what you should see is that these small and medium-sized enterprises are all dependent on the company to survive!"
Take a look at Yu Youcheng, a young man that Mu Xiangyue admires very much, and he rarely reveals the company's true future.
"You should understand now,"
At the end, Mu Xiangyue said again.
"If we really look at the interests of our family and ignore others like young wives, then how can the company become the future leader of China's industry and commerce?"
The future leader of China's industry and commerce, although the manager speaks like this, Yu Youcheng sees an extremely amazing future, in the future China. ** company will be the ruler of another country. A non-nominal ruler of a country, one industry and one enterprise, seems to be in order to promote the country's economic development, but it binds the entire country to the company. This is like...
"And Zixin, you should think that from the beginning, the company built its own counterpart university - Lianyungang Business School. In the past, the business school was just short-term training. Now, the business school has been changed to a business school. This first-class business school in China recruits and trains smart Chinese high school students for the company. The last and most outstanding students of these high school students have entered the company. They have become the backbone of the company's future, and about one-third of these students. Zixin, you are. Your classmates are also one-third. After being recommended by the business school, they will become the backbone of those companies and help those companies complete the work.
In the transition from family enterprises to modern enterprises, of course, one-third of them entered the railway affiliated areas and became civil servants of affiliated management institutions. These civil servants composed of high-quality business school graduates will not only create a model urban management mechanism for China, but also set up a model of the public system for the later Chinese government. Now, the affiliated management institutions have become the training center for the State Council officials, and more and more professional students from business schools have entered the government. This is a good thing. For the country, civil servants must understand the law, which is extremely beneficial to the country and the people. Of course, it is also a good thing for the company..."…
After looking at Yu Youcheng, Mu Xiangyue said calmly.
"Also, the company quickly obtained the right to build the Baocheng Railway!"
Obtaining the right to build a railway means that the same management model will expand with the expansion of the railway. In the end, a huge and modern public management agency, as the railway spread across the country, Yu Youcheng finally understood why he saw some parliamentarians supporting the "privatisation of railways" in some newspapers, and their reasons were very simple. "In view of the rapid development and driving effect of the Longhai Railway and its affiliated areas along the line, China should implement railway privatization and hand it over to the appropriate company for management!" This is obviously for the company's "bloodline". If all this is really realized, Yu Youcheng will no longer worry about the company's future, but he is worried...
Mu Xiangyue glanced at her watch in surprise.
"Oh, it's almost 1 o'clock,"
Mu Xiangyue said loudly.
"Zi Xin, you must be hungry, and I feel hungry too. Let's go have some lunch."
This lunch was held in the company's cafeteria, as in the past. Although Mu Xiangyue, as a senior manager of the company, has no privileges. Since the founding of the company, he has emphasized the importance of frugality. Moreover, whether it is a ** company or a subsidiary, he pays great attention to the thrift of economic activities and the simplification of management procedures. He also has periodic streamlining of expenses in the company. The company is never stingy about the salary of employees. In non-affiliated areas along the Longhai line, the luxury houses purchased by the company's employees can be seen everywhere in the nearby villages. But even so, the company will not provide a rich working meal. A rich working meal will only make people lazy and waste more working time.
Under the leadership of this idea, the working meals provided by the company seem extremely simple. A plate is often their meal. Southerners often have a portion of rice, with one meat, one vegetable and two dishes, plus a bowl of soup. The rice of northerners turns into steamed buns. Perhaps for some people, they cannot accept this simple meal at the beginning, but when the busy work is over, it will become a delicious meal, which can make people eat, satisfy and feel extremely happy.
However, today, while enjoying a working meal, it is difficult for Yu Youcheng to end the battle within ten minutes as usual and then return to his own battlefield. In his mind, it is just the company that monopolizes the national business community under the rules of "one industry and one enterprise", and the group of "Longhai people" entering the officialdom. Is it good or bad for this country?
When he walked out of the chief's office, Liu Ziyun seemed very contented. He raised his already tall shoulders, shook his hands, and took big steps. He seemed to be the owner of the chief's office, but he was not the chief of finance, nor the second-ranking official, and not even the director. His identity was the chief of the chief's secretary. Although he was the chief of the chief's secretary in the Ministry of Finance, he was just a section chief.
Because the Ministry of Finance has not turned on the heating, Liu Ziyun was wearing a short coat. However, in the headmaster's office, he kept the heating stove, but even so, he did not take it off. Chen Jintao, the headmaster, was wearing a suit and tie. At this time, Liu Ziyun seemed to have not taken the headmaster seriously and reported as soon as he entered the office. He was originally answering several questions about personnel. But his tone soon exceeded the boundaries of answering questions, giving people a feeling of talking big.
Chen Jintao is a well-known "Overseas Hanlin". He first went to Columbia University to study numbers, and then went to Yale to study political economy. He was the most famous economist in the United States. He was a first-class financial expert in finance, and he held various official positions in the late Qing Dynasty. He accumulated rich political experience. However, even so, he believed that many things should be left to officials in the department to handle, especially these "company people" who often have a professional level that is difficult for civil servants to reach, so he listened to him with a stern face...
Only after Liu Ziyun finished speaking did Chen Jintao ask as if he suddenly remembered it.
"But, what do you think about your own affairs? Now that you are on the right track, you should also consider yourself! This personnel department chief is an excessive, and it is your personal step..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Ziyun immediately replied loudly.
"Please let me continue to do personnel work!"
"Is it OK? It's very troublesome to do personnel work, and it's also an offensive job..."
"No, I think it's good. I'm most interested in people. I work harder and come up with an ideal personnel plan. I plan to completely change the current situation of our Ministry of Finance, which is a personnel arrangement that does not offend anyone, and is a senior citizen!"
As he spoke, Liu Ziyun's voice became louder and louder. This is the characteristic of "company people". When they were in Longhai, they never considered anything that offends people. For them, they only needed to consider how to perform their duties better, complete their work more effectively and quickly. They had no so-called habits in the officialdom, and were not affected by the officialdom.
But the State Council departments they are in are different now. Although the drastic reforms began to take place since Li Zicheng took over the "Welcome Hotel", how could the thousands of years of officialdom be cleared overnight?
"Our agency has too much power now, with a fiscal budget of hundreds of millions of yuan each year. It can be said that every move of officials is highly concerned by the outside world. Any personal mistake of officials will have an extremely bad impact on the Ministry and the State Council. Therefore, the talents and personalities of officials who hold important positions need to be considered. Now, we can only arrange the team in the order of annual qualifications. If we do not cultivate and discover capable talents and arrange them in the appropriate position, one day, our Ministry of Finance may..."
"Okay! I understand!"
Chen Jintao quickly waved his hand to interrupt Liu Ziyun's endless speech and said sarcastically.
"It seems you like the personnel industry very much!"
Liu Ziyun said indifferently about the general's long tone.
“Yes, I like it very much!”
"I heard that when you first arrived at the Ministry of Finance, you were not in charge of personnel affairs at that time, so you made great comments on the Ministry of Finance's personnel arrangements and often had your own opinions!"
"Yes, because I am interested in personnel changes, I can't help but make some ideas from my personal perspective. Some people come to ask me out of curiosity, but my ideas often fail!"
"Oh, why is that?"
"Because my idea is to arrange the most ideal candidates in each position according to the functions and standards of the Ministry of Finance..."
After taking a look at the general leader, Liu Ziyun continued.
"So I often can't guess!"
"That is, most of them didn't do it according to your ideas?"
"Yes, it can also be said that people in charge of personnel and lack the ability to identify talents!"
Turning his head, Chen Jintao stopped talking. There were many candidates recommended by him. Combining all aspects of interests, politics is never as simple as imagined. However, in his heart, he admired company people like Liu Ziyun. They rarely consider "unspoken rules". Their only criterion is that anything cannot "surpass the rules". However, no matter how much he admires, he is still a little disappointed. Why are they so stubborn! Even so, Chen Jintao has no intention of rectifying him. The general manager has the final decision-making power of personnel. It is really not possible. In the end, he can still throw this guy away. However, for Chen Jintao, what he most dissatisfied with was the words that Liu Ziyun kept bragging to the young employees after entering the Ministry of Finance.
"We are all hired by the state, not by the chief, nor by other people. We just need to consider the country!"
Such people... thinking of these strong "company people", Chen Jintao sighed in his heart that they always look at some problems too simply. How could they change their thousands of years of official habits?
"Okay! You have worked harder, and try to come up with a suitable personnel system reform as soon as possible..."
At the end of his speech, Chen Jintao suddenly said.
"Well, in the past few days, I will work less overtime. If I have time, go and see your brother. Isn't he going to go to the battle? This... is a big thing! Don't let yourself regret it, do you understand?"
Chapter completed!
