Chapter 325 Behind
As they talked and walked, they soon arrived at the office building.
After going upstairs, he went straight to Lin Yuhang's office. Lao Lu knocked on the door twice and pushed it open. Seeing Lao Lu coming in, Lin Yuhang, who was reading a document, raised his head and said, "Lao Lu, please sit down for a while. I'll finish reading this first..."
As Lin Yuhang was about to continue reading the document in his hand, Lao Lu couldn't help but remind him, "Director, Teacher Song is here and wants to see you."
"Teacher Song? Which Teacher Song?" Lin Yuhang didn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously.
"Who else could it be? This Teacher Song is me." At this time, Song Yuanchao came in from outside with a smile and pointed at his nose with his hand.
"Aid North Korea!" Lin Yuhang stood up suddenly, and his movement was so big that he almost knocked over the chair.
"Why are you back? When did you come back?"
"Haha, I just came back last night, and the first thing I did when I got back was to come and see you, Director Lin. It seems that everything is going well. I saw it all when I came over. People were queuing up at the door to get the goods. The Eighth Factory is very popular now!" Song Yuanchao smiled cheerfully, walked closer and shook the hand that Lin Yuhang extended. While shaking hands, he used a little force, and Lin Yuhang responded with the same force. The two smiled at each other.
After bringing the person there, Lao Lu left first. He knew that Song Yuanchao came to see Lin Yuhang for something and it was inconvenient for him to be there.
Lin Yuhang poured Song Yuanchao a glass of water and asked him to sit down.
"Did Yan Zi tell you?" Putting down the cup of water, Lin Yuhang sat next to Song Yuanchao and asked.
Song Yuanchao nodded: "I gave a general idea of it on the phone yesterday, and I also asked Lao Lu when , but you should tell me the details in detail."
Lin Yuhang sighed: "I didn't want to trouble you with this matter, but now it's getting more and more complicated. I was thinking if you came back earlier, I would discuss it with you, but I didn't expect Yan Zi to call you directly..."
"Let me tell you about this in detail. When I went home that day, my father talked to me for a few words. The next day I received a call from Director Chen of the Management Office..."
Lin Yuhang started from the beginning, first telling how he received the reminder from Lin Daoyuan, then received a call from the management office and went to see Director Chen and began to talk in detail. Compared to what Lin Yan and Lao Lu told Song Yuanchao, Lin Yuhang's account was more detailed and he also mentioned some situations that they didn't know.
While Lin Yuhang was talking, Song Yuanchao did not interrupt him, but just listened quietly. This went on for more than half an hour, until Lin Yuhang explained the whole story in detail. Only then did Song Yuanchao completely understand everything that had happened from the time the incident occurred to the present.
"So, the idea of merging Factory 8 with Factory 3 was not proposed by Yan Zi, but Director Chen already had this idea when he asked you to do so. It was just that for some reasons, the other party did not state it explicitly?" Song Yuanchao carefully considered what Lin Yuhang said and asked.
"That's about it." Lin Yuhang nodded with a wry smile. "I didn't react at first, but what happened later made me understand. The leaders had the intention to merge the eight factories into the three factories from the beginning, but they didn't want to raise it directly due to some factors. So they called me over and used this method to guide me to actively raise this request."
"Who is this leader you are talking about...?" Song Yuanchao asked. Although he already had a guess in his mind, he still needed to confirm it.
Lin Yuhang mentioned a person's name and position, and Song Yuanchao immediately understood that this was basically consistent with his guess.
"Since the leadership originally had this idea, why did it change now? I heard that the merger of the two factories has been temporarily stopped? And there are even objections?"
"It's like this. At present, the staff and cadres of Factory 3 strongly oppose this merger plan. They even went to the higher-ups to make a scene. The impact was huge, so we had to temporarily stop it. As for the leadership, it's not that they have changed their opinions. It's just that it's hard for them to say certain things. In addition, several other leaders suggested postponing it in order to eliminate the impact. In addition, there are many people in Factory 8 who have opinions on the merger..."
Song Yuanchao understood. He had thought about this issue before coming here. The current situation was indeed a bit tricky. The key was that although the responsible leader had such an idea, he was unable to directly propose a merger plan due to some principles and his position. From the very beginning, he treated Lin Yuhang as a pawn to achieve the ultimate goal.
Lin Yuhang did the same thing. He had been in the leader's chess game from the beginning and had become a chess piece involuntarily. If this thing succeeded, then the problem of the third factory would no longer be a problem. Not only could the third factory be saved, but even the eighth factory could go a step further.
In addition, in the early days of reform and opening up, everything was done by trial and error. Although the leader had the idea of reform, from the perspective of the leader, it was not easy for him to come forward directly for the sake of safety. As the director of the Eighth Factory, Lin Yuhang was exactly the most suitable person to come forward.
Such operations can be said to be a means of leadership and an art of being an official.
If it succeeds, the credit for setting a precedent will naturally go to the leader. But if it fails, the responsibility does not lie with the leader either, and all the pressure that Lin Yuhang suffers as a chess piece falls on him.
Compared to Lin Yuhang, Song Yuanchao is more familiar with this twist and turn. In his previous life, he spent his entire life in a company, working his way up from an ordinary temporary worker to a middle-level cadre. What has he not experienced?
Compared with the officialdom, enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, are actually no different. It is nothing more than a bunch of calculations. If you want to do something practical, you must have the courage to be at the forefront of the storm. There are only two results: one is to succeed by riding the wind and waves, and the other is to be smashed to pieces by the waves on the beach.
From a rational point of view, Song Yuanchao understood the leader's thoughts and actions, because if he were in the leader's position, he would probably do the same. But from a personal point of view, Song Yuanchao was dissatisfied with the leader, because his actions threw most of the risks to Lin Yuhang, making Lin Yuhang a person in the limelight. If something went wrong, Lin Yuhang would not be shattered to pieces, but it would be a huge blow to his future.
Thinking of this, Song Yuanchao suddenly frowned and suddenly remembered a key issue, which was Lin Daoyuan's role in it.
Lin Yuhang said that before Director Chen contacted him, Lin Daoyuan had a conversation with him, in which he reminded Lin Yuhang, and what happened later also proved Lin Daoyuan's reminder.
Lin Yuhang is not an ordinary person, let alone an ordinary cadre. Apart from his status as a combat hero and retired military officer, Lin Yuhang is also the son of Lin Daoyuan.
As the leader of the Planning Commission, Lin Daoyuan's position is not low. Aren't you worried that Lin Daoyuan will be angry when he finds out that you are using Lin Yuhang as a pawn?
As a leader, since he can sit in this position, he must be no ordinary person. If he does not want to tear his face with the Lin family, or if he has a private grudge with Lin Daoyuan , he would never use such means with his IQ.
In this case, the leader still used Lin Yuhang as a pawn, which was somewhat intriguing. Coupled with Lin Daoyuan's previous reminder, this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Has your father contacted you these days?" Song Yuanchao suddenly asked.
"No! He's been very busy at work these days, and I'm busy too. I don't see him many times a week." Lin Yuhang didn't understand why Song Yuanchao suddenly asked about Lin Daoyuan, and answered subconsciously.
"He didn't ask you about the merger either?" Song Yuanchao asked.
Lin Yuhang shook his head again. He had been extremely busy these days, dealing with matters at Factory 8, Factory 3, and other things. He had to go out early and come back late every day.
After getting Lin Yuhang's definite reply, Song Yuanchao felt relieved all of a sudden. He now understood everything completely.
If Song Yuanchao guessed correctly, the real culprit of this incident was not the leader mentioned by Lin Yuhang, but perhaps his father Lin Daoyuan.
Song Yuanchao also guessed some of the reasons why Lin Daoyuan did this.
One reason is naturally because of Factory 3. Due to its wrong decision-making, Factory 3 has suffered heavy losses. If Factory 3 is not given a transfusion, it may not survive.
However, because the funding gap of Factory 3 was too large, the higher authorities simply could not come up with so much money to save Factory 3. In addition, several other factories also suffered losses, so only Factory 8 in the entire industry had this ability.
Second, Song Yuanchao and Lin Daoyuan discussed a series of problems faced by state-owned enterprises after the reform and opening up, and Song Yuanchao wrote an article specifically at Lin Daoyuan's request.
Song Yuanchao still remembers the content of this article clearly. In addition to some other reminders and solutions, Song Yuanchao also mentioned the merger and adjustment strategies of state-owned enterprises within the same industry, and pointed out that in the face of the upcoming market economy and competition from foreign enterprises, some of our state-owned enterprises must strengthen themselves and gather strength as soon as possible so as to have the capital to face market risks and compete with foreign enterprises.
From this point of view, Song Yuanchao agrees with the merger (merger) between some state-owned enterprises. Of course, this merger is not a simple merger.
In the 1990s, there was a large-scale merger among state-owned enterprises in the same industry. That merger was basically forced by administrative orders from higher levels. The reason was very simple, that is, the merger (merger) of enterprises in the same industry would create a large group that is competitive in the industry and build an "aircraft carrier" that can withstand the wind and waves and competition from private and foreign enterprises.
But the problem is that such administrative mergers are not very effective, and have even dragged down some very promising companies, resulting in merger results far worse than expected.
Because during the merger process, the higher authorities only considered the overall volume but not the reality.
In particular, some companies with serious losses and backward industries were forcibly merged into well-run companies. This greatly dragged down those companies that originally had good performance. Under the drag of these companies and the continuous bleeding due to support, those companies with good performance were burdened with heavy burdens and gradually lost their market competitiveness.
In addition, the slogan of such a merger is to build an industry "aircraft carrier", but the problem is that hundreds of small sampans are gathered together. Although the size is close to the tonnage of an "aircraft carrier", no matter how many small sampans there are, they are still small sampans. It is impossible for them to become a real "aircraft carrier" when gathered together. The so-called ideal is just a beautiful wish in this way. The cruel reality will directly give an unacceptable answer in the future.
