Chapter 644 Partner
Who else could it be but Jiang Youxing?
An employee of Youmin Factory? A cadre? Or someone else who knows the situation?
For a moment, Zheng Guoyuan couldn't guess who had nothing to do after eating so he could write this letter of complaint.
"Leader, the matter is actually like this..." Facing Director Shi's rebuke, Zheng Guoyuan knew that if he couldn't explain the matter clearly, it would be a big trouble.
Although many policies have changed after the reform and opening up, and the social environment has become much more relaxed, some things are no longer trivial matters once they are taken to a higher level, not to mention that they involve the major issue of collective enterprises merging with state-owned enterprises, which is also related to the major issue of undermining the management of a state-owned enterprise director.
If Zheng Guoyuan is directly labeled as an "ambitious person", he will be in big trouble.
Zheng Guoyuan, who had experienced that era, certainly understood the seriousness of the matter. He had to explain it clearly, otherwise if yellow mud fell from his crotch, it would be shit.
Director Shi listened to Zheng Guoyuan's explanation with a serious expression. Zheng Guoyuan did not hide anything and explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail to the supervisor. He also told Director Shi that the two factories were just cooperating. There was a contract at the beginning of the cooperation and it was a kind of help between brother factories.
In addition, he did this for two reasons. One problem was that the development and output of Quanlin Factory were insufficient. With the continuous growth of the market, Quanlin Factory, as a collective factory, did not have the support of superiors like state-owned enterprises, and all development had to rely on itself.
The second problem is the difficulties that Youmin Factory encountered at the beginning. At that time, Youmin Factory was already struggling to make ends meet and could not even pay wages. In order to help the brother factory, the subsequent cooperation was established, and through such cooperation, Youmin Factory also gained a lot of benefits.
At least now the Youmin Factory is performing well, and everyone from top to bottom has benefited. The amount of profits and taxes paid to the state has not decreased by a penny, but has increased instead than before.
This is a win-win situation and is welcomed by all the cadres and workers of the two factories. How can it be said that it is an embezzlement of state-owned assets and digging into the country's walls?
Zheng Guoyuan flatly denied Director Shi's statement in the report letter about the undermining of Jiang Youxing. He would never admit that such a thing happened.
The two factories were just cooperating and were independent of each other. How could he, a director of a collective factory, have the power to overthrow the director of a state-owned enterprise? Isn't this a joke?
Of course, there was indeed some fabrication of facts, but Zheng Guoyuan was not stupid and would not say it out loud. Besides, even if it was fabricated, it was the spontaneous behavior of the cadres and workers of Youmin Factory. What did it have to do with Quanlin Factory and Zheng Guoyuan?
Isn't it always said that workers are the masters of the enterprise? Do factory leaders serve the workers and the enterprise? Zheng Guoyuan knew nothing about the problems that occurred within Youmin Factory. Even if there were any, they were the spontaneous actions of the majority of cadres and workers in Youmin Factory!
After listening to Zheng Guoyuan's explanation, Director Shi's icy expression gradually softened. After Zheng Guoyuan finished speaking, he asked, "You just said that the cooperation between the two factories has a contract?"
"Yes! This contract was signed last year, and it has our seal and the seal of Youmin Factory on it. Oh, and Jiang Youxing also signed it. Leader, what's going on here? I was trying to help Youmin Factory out of kindness, but now it's my fault? I'm telling you about the grievance in my heart. I...ah..."
As she spoke, Zheng Guoyuan shook her head and sighed, looking like a bullied young wife.
"Is the contract still in place?"
"Of course it's here! If you don't believe me, I'll call someone from the factory and have them send it to you. If I tell you a lie, I'll be struck by lightning!"
Seeing Zheng Guoyuan waving his hands excitedly and pretending to get up to make a phone call, Director Shi raised his hand to calm him down.
"Old Zheng, I understand you as a comrade. You may have made some minor mistakes, but the major mistakes are probably misunderstandings. That is why I proposed to talk to you first within the organization to understand the situation so as to avoid misunderstandings and hurting people's feelings."
"Leader, your words make my heart burn. I hope you understand me..."
Waving his hand to stop Zheng Guoyuan from continuing, Director Shi coughed and said seriously, "There's no rush for the contract. Since you have it, you don't have to worry about people throwing dirty water at you. When you go back, make a copy and give it to me."
"No problem, I'll take care of it when I get back."
"In addition, the investigation of this matter cannot be explained in a contract. The organization will send people to conduct actual inquiries with the comrades of the two factories. Youmin Factory has nothing to do with you, and you should not think about making any small moves on Quanlin Factory. Facts are facts, and everything should be based on facts. As the saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself. If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
Zheng Guoyuan felt bitter in his mouth, but he nodded seriously to show that he understood, and stated that he would definitely cooperate with the organization's investigation.
At this point, Director Shi reached out and patted Zheng Guoyuan on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "Old Zheng, from my personal perspective, of course I trust you, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation today."
"I understand. Thank you, leader..."
Nodding, Director Shi continued: "You, don't always focus on the operation of the company. You should be more sensitive. For example, if you had done things more carefully in advance, such as reporting to the organization in advance and carrying out the work under the guidance of the organization, there would not be such trouble now, right? Historical lessons tell us that if you do things carelessly, you will suffer a great loss. The loss is not a few years ago. If it was a few years ago, you know the consequences..."
Zheng Guoyuan nodded in agreement, but he was cursing in his heart.
Report to the organization in advance? And then proceed under the guidance of the organization? It's easy to say, but is it possible in reality?
Putting aside whether the organization would agree to do this, to be honest, Zheng Guoyuan is skirting the law by doing this. Based on his understanding of the leaders, he would never agree to this kind of thing even if he agreed in his heart.
The way of thinking is determined by the buttocks. Zheng Guoyuan is also a factory owner and a cadre. As a leader, he cannot make mistakes even if he has no credit. The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you do nothing, you make no mistakes. This is the principle of being a leader. Which leader would take such a risk to take the blame for Zheng Guoyuan?
Moreover, they have to wait for a year or two to discuss and discuss, and then the higher authorities will officially issue a policy to allow this to happen, and only when there is no risk will it be passed. By this time, I am afraid that the opportunity has been lost, and there is no point in doing anything!
But in the face of Director Shi's words, Zheng Guoyuan could only keep these criticisms in his heart and criticize himself with an extremely sincere attitude.
Director Shi was satisfied with Zheng Guoyuan's attitude, and Zheng Guoyuan also gave a corresponding explanation. If this explanation is true, it is a bit problematic, but at least it is not as unpopular as the report said.
There were mistakes, but they were minor ones. If we correct them, we will be good comrades.
The policy is not to hit everyone with one blow, but to cure illnesses and save lives. In Director Shi's opinion, Zheng Guoyuan does have some minor problems, but he is still worth saving.
"Old Zheng, you have been the factory director for so many years, why don't you understand some things?" Director Shi said to Zheng Guoyuan earnestly: "You are still guilty of the old problem of being insensitive and not having a high level of awareness! You must change this! If you don't change, you will be in big trouble in the future! "
"Yes, yes, yes, leader, you are right. I will change it. I will definitely change it!" Zheng Guoyuan's head was like a chicken pecking at rice.
Director Shi looked at Zheng Guoyuan as if there was a flower on his face, which made Zheng Guoyuan feel uneasy.
" Haha, can you really change, Old Zheng? It's hard to change a person's nature. How old are you? If you could change, you would have changed a long time ago. With your ability, Old Zheng, let alone being the director of a collective factory, you are more than qualified to take my position."
"No, no, leader, what are you saying? I don't have the ability to do that. I just manage a small factory and it's enough for me to work on my own small piece of land. I can't carry any heavier burden."
"Hahaha." Director Shi suddenly burst into laughter, laughing very happily.
Looking at his smile, Zheng Guoyuan's heart was finally relieved. Just when he was glad that the matter was over, Director Shi's next sentence suddenly caught him off guard.
"You can't change this old habit of yours, and even if you can, I'm afraid it won't last long. How about this, I'll assign someone to supervise you at work and check on you to prevent you from making similar mistakes again."
Seeing Zheng Guoyuan stunned, Director Shi was not surprised. He asked with a smile: "I remember that your Quanlin Factory doesn't have a full-time secretary yet, right? This is not good. You are now the factory director and secretary, and your main work is in the business operations. It is inevitable that you will neglect some other issues. In order to avoid such a situation from happening again, the organization believes that it is necessary to set up a full-time secretary in Quanlin Factory."
"You...you are planning to...?" Zheng Guoyuan's forehead was buzzing and he asked subconsciously.
"I have a good comrade here. He used to work in the Revolutionary Committee... oh, now it's called the Street Office. He is the deputy director in charge of the Street Office factory. This comrade is in his early 40s, which is the prime of life. He has a high political awareness and strong ability. The organization thinks he is very suitable for the job of secretary of your Quanlin Factory. And from my personal point of view, you also need such a partner to help you check some of your work."
"Who is this comrade...?" Zheng Guoyuan asked tentatively.
"This comrade is Xu Guochu. He will come to Quanlin Factory to take up his post in a few days. He will go to Quanlin Factory to assist you in your work, and he will also be a full-time secretary. You will be partners in the future, so you must cooperate well."
Zheng Guoyuan finally understood that the whole thing, the report letter, the investigation, was ultimately for this purpose.
Xu Guochu? Zheng Guoyuan had heard of this guy. Although he was not familiar with him, he had met him.
According to what he knew, Xu Guochu was indeed in the Revolutionary Committee at first, and had done many shameful things, but instead of being held accountable, he was transformed into the deputy director of the Street Office, in charge of several factories in the street.
Outsiders don’t understand the ins and outs of this, but Zheng Guoyuan knows it very well, because he has heard that Xu Guochu has a background and has connections above him.
The person above him was none other than Director Shi in front of him. It was said that Director Shi was Xu Guochu's distant cousin? But it was not clear whether it was true before, but today Director Shi suddenly said that he wanted to bring Xu Guochu to Quanlin Factory as a full-time secretary. The answer was obvious.
Zheng Guoyuan wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it. He knew that if he opposed this arrangement, Director Shi would immediately put a big hat on him. Don't forget that the so-called report letter has not been officially concluded yet, and there is still a procedure to investigate. If Zheng Guoyuan doesn't cooperate, haha, the result of the investigation and verification will not be decided by Director Shi, right?
