Chapter 1020: Throwing Cold Water
The matter of Zhang Guoqi's death due to illness was handled quickly, and Ao Yuhua was in charge of it.
The representative office made an assessment of his performance during his work in the factory, and found both merits and faults.
Li Xuewu signed on the disciplinary inspection commission to complete the investigation into him, which was considered the final conclusion.
Zhang Guoqi's son was still in school, and the factory gave him a quota, so his family arranged for him to take over in advance.
Li Huaide and other leaders all expressed their opinions privately, and Li Xuewu also contributed a share, no more, no less.
This is how "personnel" is in the unit. When people leave, they are forgotten. Being able to find a place for Zhang Guoqi's family to work in the factory is considered a humane move.
Lao Zhang's family was also very cooperative. They accepted the expressions given by the leaders, rejected the condolences from the factory, and also expressed their gratitude for their children's arrangements.
Li Huaide felt relieved. He no longer had to worry about Zhang Guoqi's family members making trouble or taking anything out of their mouths.
Li Xuewu and Ao Yuhua acted decisively and quickly, communicated well with the family members, and made proper arrangements for the funeral.
In just one day, Monday, everything was settled and the past was turned over.
In fact, when dealing with this matter, Ao Yuhua felt a little emotional.
Zhang Guoqi is also an old employee of the factory. He has been in the office through ups and downs for more than 20 years and has experienced everything.
When people reach middle age, they all have a sense of crisis, feeling that if they don’t work hard to make progress, they will have no chance.
So when Li Huaide recruited soldiers and prepared to fight a big battle with Yang Fengshan, he consciously became a vanguard and a pioneer.
Thinking back, is it all worth it? How can the effort and reward be equal?
She came to the conclusion that Li Huaide was not a kind and affectionate person.
At least when she reported the news of Zhang Guoqi's death, the first thing he asked was not the cause, but the impact.
When chatting with Li Xuewu, although he didn't say it too explicitly, there was still a hint of sympathy.
Of course Li Xuewu would not persuade her. They were all veteran cadres who had been influential in the organization for many years, and it was just his momentary thought.
Do you really think she is upset because of Zhang Guoqi?
Of course not, she was pointing at Li Xuewu. Even if there was no wind, she would at least want some waves.
So don’t think that people are too good or too kind, otherwise you will be a fool in the organization.
Li Xuewu only signed one signature in this matter. With the death of the person, the grudge was resolved, and the disciplinary inspection case was naturally dropped.
While having lunch at noon, I specifically chatted with Bu Qingfang and asked about the publicity time and deployment of several current activities in the factory.
Temporary ones include: cooperating with Beijing Second Machinery Factory to develop assembly line production equipment.
Cooperate with Beijing Automobile Plant No. 2 in automobile parts supply chain procurement business.
The business of Red Star Motorcycle Factory was reorganized by merging with Beijing Motorcycle Factory No. 16 and No. 7.
Cooperate with Dongcheng Credit Union to develop savings, investment and fund management business.
……
This does not include projects involving foreign operations and cooperation, such as shipyards, electronics factories, etc.
It’s Li Huaide’s business to brag outside, but the steel mill will never use such a thing as a publicity stunt.
The higher-ups place more emphasis on actual benefits, and external production and operations do not involve internal publicity impact, so there is no need to make a big fuss about it.
In particular, the international trade tour group staying at the International Hotel, led by Jing Yunong, has formed a negotiation team with Gu Weijie and is in contact.
If this kind of thing happened in the future, how could one not publicize the gold mine? Even if there was no contract signed, it would be considered an achievement.
But it’s not possible now. Only Jing Yunong and Gu Weijie are suitable for formal contact with the other party.
Li Huaide is not suitable and there is no room for maneuver. Li Xuewu is not suitable either and the risk for him is too high.
"Deputy Director Li, is there anything wrong?"
I had just come out of the canteen after lunch and was stopped by Gu Weijie when I passed the lobby of the main office building.
"Deputy Director Gu"
Li Xuewu walked over with the lunch box in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You told Comrade Zaike yesterday, right?"
She waved her hand. Wei Zaike was standing next to her, and they were obviously talking about the conversation last night.
"A deputy director from the third factory will come to conduct research soon. Please accompany him and share your ideas with us."
"I'll just forget it."
Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Isn't it a bit like you are overstepping your authority?"
“You are the deputy director of the commission office.”
Gu Weijie laughed when she heard him say that, patted his arm and said: "You are the one in charge of coordination. This is your job. Don't try to shirk it."
"that is!"
Wei Zaike stood aside and encouraged: "Comrade Li Xuewu's ideological awareness needs to be improved. Come back and study in our Organization Department."
“You can learn and communicate”
Gu Weijie looked at him and said with a smile: "Please ask Deputy Director Li to tell us about the pioneering role of young cadres."
"Good fellow, I am in your hands"
Li Xuewu smiled and gestured to the two of them, saying: "The organization leader is a bully."
"Oh! That's right!"
Gu Weijie smiled and said, "I have to make this clear. The cooperation project with the Third Textile Factory was negotiated by you, Deputy Director Li!"
"Right, Team Leader Wei?"
"That's right. Deputy Director Li should be held accountable to the end."
Wei Zaike continued speaking along the lines of his leader, pulling Li Xuewu's arm and admonishing him, "All you have to do now is obey and work hard!"
"Sticky bag!"
Li Xuewu waved to Ding Zigui who was passing by and said, "Come and save me! Team Leader Wei is blackmailing me!"
"Really!"
Ding Zigui expressed his surprise but his behavior was not that of a brave one. He went around in a circle and tried to avoid the attack.
Wei Zaike smiled and pushed Li Xuewu out, nodding to Gu Weijie to indicate that the able-bodied men had been captured.
"Let's go, let's go to your place and have a cup of tea first."
He walked out of the main office building with Li Xuewu, saying, "It's rumored that you have good tea. Is that true?"
"Of course, I'm just afraid you won't be able to enjoy it."
Li Xuewu smiled wickedly, blinking his eyes, and said, "I'll let you taste it later."
"Uh... forget it."
Wei Zaike would not fall for such a trick. He had no confidence in the limits of Li Xuewu's evil deeds.
"How was it? We talked about it last night."
After he went down the stairs and there were no outsiders around him, he asked this question.
Li Xuewu first gave him a cigarette, and they lit up each other's cigarettes. Then he said, "Old Wei, do you think our factory is united now?"
"Why are you asking about me?!"
Wei Zaike looked at him with amusement and said, "Didn't you hear what others said? Director Li has the final say on whether the steel mill is in chaos or not."
"grass!"
Li Xuewu laughed out loud, puffed out a puff of smoke, looked at Wei Zaike and asked, "Do you believe this?"
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. It's only useful if someone else believes it or not."
He pointed upwards, as if someone was flying above.
Li Xuewu glanced at him and said with a curled lip: "You only have a high school education, why are you studying philosophy?"
"Stop humiliating me!"
Wei Zaike took a puff of his cigarette, stood in the sunshine in the yard, and said seriously: "This is for your own good, don't be ungrateful."
"Well, I appreciate it."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I am paying attention to unity now, so please don't lead me astray."
"I'll take you? Stop it!"
Wei Zaike glared and said, "Who of us will lead whom into the ditch?"
"Tell the truth!"
He narrowed his left eye and looked at Li Xuewu, and asked, "There was no fight last night, right?"
"You're expecting me to be better, aren't you?"
Li Xuewu knew that he was trying to trick him, but he just didn't tell him. It was more interesting to keep him in suspense.
"Who is Deputy Director Cheng? He is a cultural person, a senior intellectual, and has rich experience in grassroots management. How can he fight?"
"Hey! Look at you!"
Wei Zaike grinned and said, "It's you who can curse people so well!"
He smiled wickedly and pointed to the main office building with his eyes, saying, "Guess how many people were watching you eat this meal?"
"I take care of them!"
Li Xuewu exhaled a puff of smoke, turned his back to the office building and said softly: "Believe it or not, I will turn around and scare them!"
"Hehehe"
Wei Zai Ke was amused by Li Xuewu, but this was really possible.
Not to mention that Li Xuewu and Cheng Kaiyuan going out to eat together would attract attention, even if the two of them were standing downstairs chatting, there would be a lot of people watching.
Of course, it’s not necessarily the leaders who are responsible, but those with ulterior motives will definitely report the matter to the leaders.
Maybe the person who stabbed you in the back is the one who just smiled and said caring words to you.
"People are speculating whether it was you who hosted the Hongmen Feast or Deputy Director Cheng who hosted the feast to release military power."
Wei Zaike stood in the glaring sunlight, squinting, lowering his head and saying: "If you move, many people will follow suit!"
"It was moving in the first place, can you blame me?"
Li Xuewu looked at the office building on the side, pointed it to Wei Zaike and asked, "When this building was built, who could have thought that it would only take less than half a year to build it?"
"Did I move the people away, or did I disband the organization department?"
He turned around and looked at Wei Zaike and said, "The situation today is one way, and the situation tomorrow is another way. It's not something you and I can decide."
"The overall work and situation are like the wind blowing, and we all work together to push forward in the direction of the wind."
"Among the people pushing the boat, some are working hard, some are lazy, and some are pushing in the opposite direction or pulling to one side. Who can influence who?"
Li Xuewu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "If I could really intervene in the situation and rectify the atmosphere, I wouldn't have to be so exhausted now, right?"
"We are all tired~"
Wei Zaike's attitude was no longer as he had just joked. He sighed and said, "You just asked whether our factory is united now. In my opinion, we are united."
He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "At least you have extremely strong fighting power. Director Li and you both have a certain cohesion. As long as the flag is not fallen, people's hearts will not disperse."
"Don't flatter me"
Li Xuewu flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, pointed at the office building opposite, and asked them to walk together. He replied, "I am walking on thin ice now. Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
Whether one knows it or not, it does not prevent people from speculating on his intentions and motives.
The dinner with Cheng Kaiyuan last night was a pressure for him and also for Li Xuewu.
But the contradiction lies between the basis of cooperation between the factory leaders. If there is no one to coordinate, it will always exist, and if someone does coordinate, it will be a thankless task.
Only Li Xuewu is strong enough in this position and can take appropriate measures.
Wei Zaike had already reminded him once last night to stop "meddling in other people's business" and to stop.
In fact, some middle-level management cadres in the factory do not want the leaders above them to be too "united".
Being in harmony means they have lost the meaning of their positions and comparisons.
If Li Huaide takes the lead and other factory leaders perform their duties and coordinate with each other in an orderly manner, do you think they will still urgently need the support of their subordinates?
Of course not. Instead, the pressure from above will be completely released. Who will suffer then?
They would rather the factory’s efficiency be slow and development be slow than sacrifice their personal development demands.
It is a consensus among everyone that only by finding the gap in the struggle can one gain the opportunity to make rapid progress.
Including Li Xuewu's rapid progress, every time he did it, he was trying to take advantage of the situation.
Now, for the rapid development of the steel rolling mill this year, Li Xuewu has brought all the leaders together and asked them to be harmonious and work hard. What do you think their attitude is?
Of course, you can say that these people are selfish, or that they are factory bugs, and you can despise them and spit on them.
However, they exist in various government departments and even in the shadows.
You cannot detect their existence through intuition or sight alone, because these methods and ideas are exerted behind dark thoughts.
What does organizational learning learn?
Being open and honest, criticizing each other and self-criticizing means showing your blushing in front of others instead of behind their backs.
Of course, now that learning is organized and implemented by the management committee, and personal will is above organizational procedures, do you think people will still tell the truth and say harsh words?
From the moment Li Xuewu was carried by Li Huaide to the position of successor, he had already shown signs of being isolated by the middle-level management cadres.
If you want to turn the situation around, you have to burn your boats and move forward courageously.
When you persist, you will find that those who once passively alienated you have never left. They are standing behind you, waving flags and shouting, calling on you to lead.
You should always turn your back to them and not let them see your smiling face and thoughts. This is a dangerous behavior.
Secondly, run hard and don’t be caught up by the people behind you, otherwise you will be the one under their feet.
Some people say that this is just forcing something to happen, there is no way out!
This is the rule of the game in the workplace: you only see up, not down.
Everyone can only accept progress and cannot forgive their own backwardness.
The person in front is running, you are chasing, and the person behind you is also chasing you.
If you can lead them to the right path, you are right; otherwise you can only pay for your mistakes.
Therefore, even though Li Xuewu heard Wei Zaike's warning, he still chose to take the initiative to intervene in the conflict between Li Huaide and Cheng Kaiyuan.
This is not a kind of compromise or a way of integrating everything.
Others who didn't see this thought that Li Xuewu was trying to reconcile the differences between the two people, but the opposite was true.
Li Xuewu is not a fool. He certainly knows that the conflict between Li Huaide and Cheng Kaiyuan is irreconcilable and cannot be resolved.
He was not trying to bring Li Huaide and Cheng Kaiyuan closer together, but to straighten their relationship out so that they could form a force that would restrain each other.
Clamping is also a balance, and steel mills need a balance now.
Li Huaide wants to play a game of Tongtian chess, Cheng Kaiyuan and the people behind him want to play a game of counterattack, Gu Weijie wants to play a game of sleeping on straw and tasting gall, Jing Yunong...
Everyone is making chess moves, and everyone is fighting on the chessboard.
Li Xuewu inevitably became a chess piece on the chessboard and also gained the qualification to play chess.
Now, the attitude of middle-level management cadres cannot affect the overall situation of factory leaders' layout of enterprise development, because they are all looking forward.
Whether or not those who complain and resist behind the scenes will follow and move forward will determine whether they can gain a foothold in the subsequent personnel changes.
When the waves come, they fight for life and death in the waves. Don’t you know that when the waves recede, they also have to keep up, otherwise they will be left on the beach?
In government agencies, bargaining and compromise are like twins and often appear at the same time in work and conflicts.
Li Xuewu had no doubt that when he failed, these people would pounce on him and bite him, adding insult to injury.
But if he chooses to protect himself because of fear, will he still have a chance to stand in front and face the storm?
Just like he told Wei Zaike, the situation changes every day. Yesterday you were required to work hard, today you are required to publicize widely, and the day after tomorrow you may soar to the sky, or fall to earth.
Man proposes, God disposes.
According to Li Xuewu's personality, he is the kind of person who thinks ten steps ahead before taking one step. All the decisions he makes are basically based on considerations of possible consequences and impacts.
If even a person with such a personality has to face uncertainty and failure, then we can only say that it is destined.
-
In the afternoon, Li Xuewu and Wei Zaike accompanied Gu Weijie to meet with the visiting leaders of the Third Textile Factory.
"Lu Factory, this is Comrade Li Xuewu, Deputy Director of our Management Committee Office"
Wei Zaike introduced Lu Yuming with a smile, and also helped Li Xuewu introduce the other party.
"Luchang, welcome to the steel rolling mill"
Li Xuewu took the initiative to shake hands with the other party and greeted him with a smile.
The other party must have heard of him, and he greeted him politely.
Li Xuewu and Wei Zaike greeted them into the lobby and went up to the third floor.
On the way, Wei Zaike introduced the situation in the factory and the tertiary industry project that the other party came to investigate.
He had already said when we were chatting in the security building just now that the deputy factory director named Lu was there when we had dinner last night.
In fact, it was the steel mill that took the initiative to contact the other party, but in fact the other party also had the willingness to deepen cooperation.
The reason was simple. Cheng Kaiyuan had mentioned it to him on the way last night. They had made a fortune by purchasing wool and cotton cloth from the border through joint trade.
Just this year, they have launched seven more workshops, and they look like they are going to do a big thing.
This is in addition to the fact that the joint industrial project between the three factories and the steel rolling mill is still underway, and knitted fabrics needed for the fabric and automotive industries are still being produced.
Li Xuewu has not looked at the specific trade volume, but it is definitely not low. You can see that by the fact that they took the initiative to visit him after the New Year.
The reception room was arranged in a half-symposium and half-reception format, with the sofas in the middle arranged in a U-shape, and tables and seats for attendees arranged opposite and around them.
The only leader present at the meeting was Gu Weijie, but those from other departments involved in the management of the tertiary industry were also called over.
People from the finance, personnel, sales, trade management and tertiary production management departments, and even the trade union attended the meeting.
Gu Weijie and her secretary were waiting at the stairs. After the two sides met, they exchanged greetings and introduced themselves.
Li Xuewu consciously followed behind as a background board. When the big guys met, he was certainly not the protagonist.
But it’s different once you enter the reception room, the order of the seats can clearly show the status of the people.
Li Xuewu's seat was arranged below Gu Weijie, which was decided by her.
In other words, in external receptions, Li Xuewu's status is higher than that of Wei Zaike, the team leader.
What is special is that Wei Zaike did not express any meaning or emotion about this.
This also allowed visiting Lu Yuming and others to see the clues and understand Li Xuewu's identity and influence.
There is no need to publicize this kind of thing, nor to publicize it everywhere. As long as it is an old agency, it can be seen at a glance.
You can notice it by watching the news every day. A young man suddenly appears in the team, and he is in a key position. He is neither outstanding nor backward. What do you think his identity is?
The committee office is responsible for carrying out the tasks assigned by the management committee leaders and coordinating the work of the departments and offices of the management agency.
The position of deputy director of the commission's office is just on the edge of being involved in core work and is in line with the identity of a young cadre.
Wei Zaike was going to sit below him, and Lu Yuming didn’t know that they were the next core managers of the steel mill?
"Yesterday, Team Leader Wei and I talked about our research trip today."
After his opening remarks, he took the initiative to say: "Last year, the cooperation between Textile Plant No. 3 and the Steel Rolling Mill was very good. They worked together and created a brilliant miracle."
"This year I came to the steel rolling mill with prospects and hopes, and I am willing to deepen cooperation with brother companies and make progress together."
Wow~~~
There was warm applause in the reception room; he set the tone very well.
"Of course"
He smiled and said: "This requires the joint efforts of both sides. I believe that win-win cooperation is the norm."
“I am willing to listen to the demands of our sister companies and the feedback from managers working on the front line.”
Lu Yuming pointed to the seats for the audience and asked, "Are there any cadres from the joint production management position of the Third Textile Factory here to attend today?"
"Hello, Deputy Director Lu"
He Yushui and two other cadres stood up and greeted Lu Yuming.
"Okay, okay, sit down and talk."
Lu Yuming was very happy and said: "You are the cornerstone of the cooperation between Textile Plant No. 3 and Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. You are the guides and creators who have witnessed the brilliant achievements of the past year. I am proud of you."
"Joint production and self-reliance are the meanings set at the beginning of joint production"
After the other party finished speaking, Gu Weijie took over the topic and said: "Red Star Steel Rolling Mill insists on scientific development as the basis, market-oriented exploration to enrich planned production as the guide, insists on scientific and technological innovation, and insists on win-win cooperation."
She gestured in the direction of Li Xuewu and said, "The steel rolling mill has set up an economic and trade management leading group office for this purpose, and Deputy Director Li is in charge of the daily management work."
"In the process of preparing for joint production and tertiary industry enterprises, we have encountered difficulties and obstacles together, which is inevitable"
“But it is precisely this difficulty that has tempered the joint production team, tested the cooperative friendship, and witnessed the joy of successful economic market exploration.”
She said: "Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has always maintained an open attitude and welcomes all brother units to participate in production and construction with an attitude of equality, mutual assistance, and win-win cooperation."
"I believe that last year's achievements are just the beginning, and there will be more and better goals in the future that we need to achieve together."
Wow~
Applause broke out again in the reception room.
Gu Weijie, who was in charge of the reception, smiled and talked to Lu Yuming for a few words, then gestured in the direction of Li Xuewu and said, "I know that Deputy Director Lu wants to hear about the attitude and plans of our steel rolling mill, so I invited Deputy Director Li here."
"Welcome Deputy Director Lu, welcome comrades from the Third Textile Factory"
Li Xuewu was not nervous when he found out that it was his turn to speak. He first welcomed the guests and then began his speech.
"I participated in the entire process, from the establishment of the joint production project in March last year to the project development and operation."
"Now, as for witnessing the miracle of production and the achievements of the tertiary industry, I hope that both sides can witness together the hardships and efforts in the process of creating this achievement."
He said: "We built it brick by brick, workshop by workshop, and warehouse by warehouse. From the first worker entering the site to the first product rolling off the production line, we need to remember this history."
Wow~
In the reception room, everyone spontaneously applauded when they heard Li Xuewu talk about the hardships at the grassroots level and the difficulty of cooperation.
Even Lu Yuming clapped thoughtfully, and his eyes towards Li Xuewu gradually became deeper.
"Remember the past and cherish the present. This is what we should think about and summarize."
Li Xuewu looked at Lu Yuming and said, "Our Deputy Director Gu has already said that the steel mill's attitude towards cooperation is open, the policy is supportive, and the market is urgently to be developed."
"But I want to play devil's advocate and throw some cold water on you!"
"Hahaha~"
There was laughter at first, and then applause.
We all know that it is comfortable to hear nice words but difficult to hear the truth, but in business work, you cannot tell lies, only the truth can touch people's hearts.
Li Xuewu is the leader of the steel rolling mill. He has to talk about business and tell the truth, which truly represents the most authentic and straightforward attitude of the steel rolling mill.
Gu Weijie introduced Li Xuewu to Lu Yuming and reminded him twice, which was to pave the way for Li Xuewu to express the steel mill's willingness to cooperate and its demands more sincerely.
“There are many unstable factors in cooperation”
Li Xuewu glanced at everyone present and said: "First of all, we must talk about how to resist the planning risks brought about by policy changes during the cooperation process."
"Plans cannot keep up with changes. Plans always change with policies, and the same is true for ideas."
He spread out his hands and said to Lu Yuming: "In-depth project cooperation and development will inevitably bring about deeper mutual influence. This is an inevitable problem."
"In the process of policy interpretation and ideological construction management, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill follows scientific development and respects the principles of development of things."
Li Xuewu said frankly: "It is a challenge for both of us to reach a consensus on the ideological dimension and maintain a high degree of ideological unity during the project implementation."
This statement was recognized by everyone present. Even those who didn't understand it nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Yuming changed his relaxed state and sat up straight. He listened carefully and thought seriously.
Li Xuewu continued: "The second thing to say is the issues of policy implementation and execution coordination that must be faced in the process of in-depth cooperation."
"It's not just the collaboration between brother units that happens when ideas are suggested on the spur of the moment, but there's no way to implement them."
"Cooperation itself is a test and challenge for both parties. In the process of deepening cooperation, there will inevitably be problems such as running-in, as well as different levels of policy implementation in the project management process."
“We thought about and discussed this issue during the planning and design of the joint production project.”
Li Xuewu looked at the other party and introduced: "The conclusion is that the situation of multiple policies being issued must not be allowed to happen."
He pointed in the direction of the Joint Production Project Management Office and said, "This is the significance of the existence of the management office and its implementation of management."
"But we can also see that the management office is not omnipotent, and we cannot just leave all the problems and conflicts to the management office."
Li Xuewu smiled at the participating cadres from the management office and asked, "It must be very hard, right?"
"Hehehe~"
A section chief from the management office gave a bitter smile. Although he didn't say anything, his attitude was obvious.
Lu Yuming also smiled at the other party and asked, "Are the cadres of the Third Textile Factory fierce when they quarrel?"
"Hahaha~"
The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became cheerful because of the two leaders' proactive jokes.
Everyone looked at the management office, then at the cadres sent by Textile Factory No. 3, and they all smiled happily.
After easing the atmosphere of the conversation, Li Xuewu concluded: "In the process of deepening cooperation, we need more discussions and communication to find an excellent problem-solving solution that is suitable for both parties."
“This is a key issue. I think it is necessary to strengthen the relationship.”
Lu Yuming gave Li Xuewu an apologetic look for interrupting Li Xuewu's speech.
Then he looked at Gu Weijie and said to everyone present: "I will first make a request to the cadres stationed at the Third Textile Factory present here. If there are any problems, they must communicate and not hide them or gossip behind others' backs."
“Then there’s the factory.”
He turned to the deputy director of the office who had come with him to the steel mill and instructed: "When you go back, you must also establish a communication mechanism based on joint production, and strengthen this connection for in-depth cooperation."
After finishing his instructions, he gestured to Li Xuewu to return the speaking order back to normal.
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "It's not terrible to argue or quarrel. What's terrible is to harbor resentment towards each other and go separate ways."
"The last point is, what impact and significance will strengthening cooperation have on both parties in the subsequent planned production and market exploration process."
He said: "The steel mill will continue to explore market-oriented tasks this year, including continuing to invest in and build more city-based agencies to connect with factories with rich resources in various places."
"In this process, production, interaction, and market-oriented sales will inevitably have a greater impact on the cooperation. At a deeper level, it is the definition of our future cooperation."
Li Xuewu also talked about money without hurting feelings. In the end, he put the distribution of interests on the meeting table to remind the other party who holds the initiative and dominance.
“These are the concerns and thoughts I want to express today.”
He looked at Lu Yuming and said with a smile: "I hope you will not question the cooperation between us. I hope my speech has not caused you any trouble or misunderstanding."
"of course not"
Lu Yuming smiled, gestured to Li Xuewu and said: "I came here today just to meet the leaders of our factory and to hear about our attitude towards cooperation."
“Very real and very practical”
He crossed his arms, nodded slowly and affirmed: "This is the thinking process that both of us must go through at the beginning of our cooperation. It is inevitable."
“The water is a bit cold.”
Gu Weijie smiled and smoothed things over. She looked at everyone present and asked, "Are you all confused by Deputy Director Li's cold shoulder?"
"Hehehe~"
Everyone smiled kindly, and then became more alert. They had a better understanding of the confusion in their hearts and the difficulties of cooperation between the two sides.
A good cooperation now does not mean that they will cooperate happily in the future. Just because Li Xuewu took the initiative to ask Wei Zaike to test the other party's attitude does not mean that he will take the initiative to cooperate.
In the early stages of cooperation, both parties will go through a complex game and finally reach conditions acceptable to both parties, which is the so-called compromise.
Just like the cooperation project that the steel rolling mill is currently discussing with the Dongcheng Credit Union, they started contacting each other before the New Year and are still discussing it after the New Year, and the discussion is ongoing.
This is not just two friends going out for a drink.
Even if we go out for drinks together, don't we have to ask each other where we are going, where the wine is better, and where the proprietress is prettier?
The same is true for the current cooperation with Textile Factory No. 3, and it will take some time to polish.
Fortunately, neither of them is in a hurry. They test each other little by little, and they are not afraid even if the cooperation is slow.
At Gu Weijie's request, Li Xuewu took the initiative to participate in the discussion of the following issues.
In the middle, representatives from various departments present at the meeting spoke about the existing cooperation between the two parties and their opinions and suggestions on future cooperation.
Leaders from both sides listened carefully, thought about it, and even directly answered their doubts and questions.
Both offices also took notes of the good opinions to facilitate subsequent work coordination.
Finally, the two sides reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation in the field of personnel work.
During the communication, Li Xuewu further put forward his demands and hopes for cooperation.
In addition to placing a firm emphasis on the coordination and arrangement of worker interactions, the meeting also elaborated and communicated on issues such as employment of employees' children, vocational education of their children, and friendship and marriage between men and women of appropriate age in the factory.
At the same time, we also exchanged views with the Third Textile Factory on the workers' new village project that the steel rolling mill started to implement this year, including humanistic accommodation, medical recuperation, and the economic settlement area that is currently being negotiated.
Lu Yuming could clearly feel the booming development momentum of the steel rolling mill, and he was very interested in the projects that were planned and rapidly being implemented at the steel rolling mill.
He wanted to understand and learn this kind of project management, as well as the methods and thinking of situation analysis, and he also had the greatest hope for the future cooperation.
Afterwards, Wei Zaike hosted and accompanied the other party to visit the tertiary production workshop, and also visited the project R&D workshop in the same factory area.
It was obviously a fishing arrangement, but the other party still watched it with great interest.
Textile Factory No. 3 has no shortage of textile talents, nor does it have a shortage of textile orders. What they lack is this comprehensive strength. They are more clearly aware that compared with steel mills, they lack the ability to resist the impact of marketization.
You can say that it is a world of planned production now, or you can say that marketization is still a long way off.
But in fact, the opening policy last year was already very clear. It opened up the shackles on commodity exchanges between units in order to activate the public-to-public economy.
Some people are overly cautious and do not fully understand economic policies, which leads to the opposite thinking.
He regarded the market economy as a terrible monster and tried to avoid it, but he didn't know that when the monster really came, it would be too late for him to prepare.
In fact, many companies in the industrial field have conducted surveys and reflections on the market.
At this stage, this work serves as an auxiliary to planned production and billing services.
Taking Textile Factory No. 3 as an example, they need to know how much cotton cloth, how much printed cloth, etc. are needed in the capital area this year.
Of course, everything is needed, and as long as we have it now, there will be no shortage of sales.
But the market will show its tired side. In fact, we can see from last summer that the market has shown its active side.
Eggs were hard to find in the past, but now they are no longer a rarity. Although they are still in short supply, the supply level has greatly increased.
Agricultural production has been improving year after year, and even during this period, it is still a good harvest.
The overall market is increasing its gross domestic product. In the process of serving production, do individual organizations need to analyse and investigate the situation?
The leader of any company or factory has a calendar on his desk.
Their work is recorded on it, and the work plan for next month is also on it.
Where did the plan come from?
Part of it was allocated from above, part of it was feedback from below, and the rest was obtained through proactive investigation.
What comes down from above is actually the production planning part, and the feedback from below is the adjustment of the production part.
The remaining part is the goods that exist in each factory and are put on the market after they exceed their targets.
The market's acceptance of these goods directly reflects the quality and acceptability of the products.
In the past, when we produced thermoses, no one cared about the style, whether it was iron or cage-shaped, or whether it was bulky or not, as long as it was sturdy and durable.
But is this the case when it is launched on the market?
Of course not. The rattan or bamboo thermos covers that have always been around, and even the plastic covers that appeared later, are an impact and challenge to the original steel ones.
Of course, if these things are part of planned production, the supply and marketing cooperatives will only sell them, and you can buy them or not.
Or the rations are distributed to units or individuals. Who would care if it’s free?
So you will see that these factory leaders are not panicked when looking at the planned production orders, but they are scratching their heads when looking at the market feedback on unplanned production.
Last year, the steel rolling mill bought tons of cotton cloth from Textile Factory No. 3, but this year it has not adjusted its purchasing plan and is even planning to reduce it.
Why do you say?
It's very simple. The joint production factory is also producing this kind of fabric, and even updated the technology during the research and development process, so the quality of the fabric is even better.
Even internal competition is needed, let alone external pressure.
The third textile factory came to conduct research not only to discuss cooperation, but also to find out the truth.
Li Xuewu directly gave the other party a warning, and then went to the workshop to observe the production and supply and demand, and he was able to look at the problem fairly with a necessary mentality.
He was not against cooperation, but hated hypocritical communication, which made Gu Weijie, who had invited him here, feel helpless and smile bitterly.
After seeing off the leaders of the third factory, she teased Li Xuewu, wondering if he was doing it on purpose to sabotage her.
Li Xuewu replied with a smile, it is better to dismantle a stage than to let the stage collapse itself!
