Chapter 658 Lin Daoyuan's Worries
After entering the study, Song Yuanchao made a cup of tea for Lin Daoyuan as if he was familiar with the place, and then sat down on the sofa next to Lin Daoyuan.
"Tell me, have you encountered any problems? Or is there something else?" Lin Daoyuan knew his son-in-law well. He rarely came when he lived here, so he knew why. Generally, Song Yuanchao would not come on his own initiative unless there was something or Lin Daoyuan called him.
"Dad, I want to tell you something, please listen first..." Song Yuanchao handed a cigarette to Lin Daoyuan, lit it for him with a lighter, and then spoke.
Lin Daoyuan took a puff of his cigarette and nodded slightly, then Song Yuanchao began to talk about Zheng Guoyuan's situation, starting from when Quanlin Factory initially learned from the first branch factory to engage in direct supply sales, and gradually talked about how Zheng Guoyuan and Jiang Youxing later cooperated and used the output of Youmin Factory to make up for the shortcomings of Quanlin Factory, thus starting to develop.
This talk lasted for more than half an hour, until last year when Zheng Guoyuan made the decision to purchase an idle beverage production line for the Quanlin Factory, thereby further increasing production.
At the beginning of this year, the output of Quanlin Factory increased steadily. By Labor Day in May, beverage sales gradually entered the peak season. The output and efficiency of Quanlin Factory doubled compared with last year. The whole factory was thriving and doing very well.
"Zheng Guoyuan is really good at running a business." Lin Daoyuan was very impressed and said, "It's not easy for a small collective enterprise to achieve such a level in two or three years without relying on superiors and relying only on its own efforts. What's the matter? Do you like him? Are you planning to recruit him?"
"Haha, look at what you said." Song Yuanchao immediately laughed: "To be honest, I actually talked to Zheng Guoyuan about this last year, hoping that he could come to work at our Si Te Company, and I also offered him very generous conditions."
"Oh, what conditions?" Lin Daoyuan asked with interest.
Song Yuanchao immediately explained the conditions he had offered to Zheng Guoyuan. After listening, Lin Daoyuan nodded and said, "This is a very good condition. You are quite courageous to offer such conditions."
"Talents are hard to come by. We are in urgent need of talents like Zheng Guoyuan. Moreover, if he comes to Sit, it will be of great benefit to him. After all, our company is large in scale and has a good platform, which is more conducive to his development."
"That's not bad, especially the part about talents being hard to come by." Lin Daoyuan agreed, but at the same time he looked at Song Yuanchao and asked with a smile, "Let me guess, did Zheng Guoyuan refuse your offer?"
"You are this!" Song Yuanchao gave Lin Daoyuan a thumbs up.
Lin Daoyuan laughed. In fact, this was not difficult to guess. If Zheng Guoyuan agreed to Song Yuanchao's recruitment, he would not have said these things today. What's more, Song Yuanchao had just specially introduced the situation of Quanlin Factory in the first half of this year. Isn't the fact there?
"Zheng Guoyuan came to see me today." Song Yuanchao suddenly changed the subject.
Lin Daoyuan was stunned, his eyes swept over Song Yuanchao, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"He agreed to join Sidr as executive vice president."
Lin Daoyuan's expression became a little serious. At this time, he already understood why Song Yuanchao went through so much trouble to talk about Zheng Guoyuan.
Song Yuanchao did not hide anything and went on to talk about the changes that had occurred at Quanlin Factory in the past two months.
As he spoke, the smile on Lin Daoyuan's face completely disappeared, replaced by coldness and anger.
After Song Yuanchao finished speaking, Lin Daoyuan couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he slammed the armrest and stood up.
Originally Song Yuanchao thought that Lin Daoyuan would curse at him or show extreme anger, but he didn't expect that Lin Daoyuan would just pat the armrest and stand up without saying anything. He frowned and walked back and forth in the study for a few steps before sitting back down.
"Is this true?"
"After Zheng Guoyuan left, I asked someone to inquire about it..." Song Yuanchao replied and nodded.
Lin Daoyuan's face was gloomy and he was hiding a ball of anger in his heart.
After several years of reform and opening up, the entire country has been developing in a good direction, especially the economic development has given many companies a new lease of life .
As the provincial leader in charge of this aspect, Lin Daoyuan has always been paying attention to related work. He has done a lot and achieved many results since he took office.
But he never expected that such a situation would happen in a small collective factory that he had never heard of.
A business manager who could be considered an excellent one was not only investigated and dismissed from his post simply because of the selfish desires of some people, but he even had this well-run and promising business merged under the arrangement of some people.
Enterprise mergers are not new now. Since the end of last year, with the emergence of private enterprises, the impact on collective and state-owned enterprises has been very large. From an economic perspective, enterprise mergers and even acquisitions are normal business behaviors in the future market economy. As long as they do not harm the enterprise itself and are beneficial to the development of the enterprise, the relevant departments will not oppose it, but will support it.
However, the merger of Quanlin Factory with Youmin Factory is not normal behavior at all. Although Youmin Factory is a state-owned enterprise, it has long been insolvent. If Zheng Guoyuan had not helped Youmin Factory, Youmin Factory would have collapsed at the beginning of last year.
But now, the Youmin Factory, which is in trouble itself, has merged with the profitable Quanlin Factory. Zheng Guoyuan, who led the Quanlin Factory to take off, has been dismissed from his position and became an ordinary worker, while the mediocre and incompetent Jiang Youxing has become the head of the new factory after the merger.
As for Xu Guochu, he was the instigator. Relying on his background, he became the director of the new factory. If nothing unexpected happens, he will take over as the top leader of the new factory in another year.
Lin Daoyuan has been a leader for so many years and has experienced the changes of the previous era. How could he not see the trick?
Of course, is there anything wrong with Zheng Guoyuan? You can say that there is a problem. After all, his cooperation with Youmin Factory did skirt the policy, but this problem is not serious, and both the starting point and the result are good.
According to current policies, the most that could be done for Zheng Guoyuan's mistakes would be verbal criticism and education, and he would be let off lightly. It was far from being as serious as dismissal from his position, but someone made a big fuss about it and directly dismissed Zheng Guoyuan, especially since the dismissal order came down and the two factories merged right after, which was too fast.
Seeing the big picture from the small, Lin Daoyuan learned about this today because of Song Yuanchao, but what if there are similar things in the whole Jinling or the whole Jiangsu Province? Or if the parties involved don't know Song Yuanchao and have no place to talk, wouldn't they know nothing about these situations?
When he thought of this, Lin Daoyuan couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. If this was not an isolated case, then this situation would be extremely alarming. If it happened again and again, the consequences would be extremely serious.
In addition, Lin Daoyuan thought of another problem. With the deepening of reform and opening up and the gradual replacement of the planned economy by the market economy, there are good sides, but it also brings about bad problems.
In particular, the hearts of many cadres have become unstable, and some cadres even do things they should not do when faced with the temptation of interests.
These days, Lin Daoyuan has discovered several similar situations, all of whom are old comrades in their fifties or sixties.
It stands to reason that these old comrades have experienced hard and simple years and have been tested, but under the tide of the economy and the expansion of power in their hands, they eventually stretched out their hands where they should not have.
Internally, this situation is currently referred to as the 60s crisis. That is to say, as people are about to retire at the age of 60 or even retire directly, some old comrades have come to believe that their rights do not need to expire, and thus have made financial mistakes.
This has aroused the vigilance of relevant departments and reported it to the higher authorities. Today, Lin Daoyuan and several other comrades held a meeting specifically for this situation to discuss how to prevent and solve this problem. Who would have thought that when he returned home, he would hear Song Yuanchao say such a thing.
When the two things are linked together, Lin Daoyuan becomes even more alert. This situation must be stopped and dealt with severely. It must not become the norm.
Song Yuanchao did not directly answer Lin Daoyuan's question, but his answer also proved that the matter was true.
What's more, it is not difficult to verify this matter. Lin Daoyuan knows very well that he can find out the truth by sending someone to investigate.
"I know about this."
There was a hint of severity in Lin Daoyuan's eyes as he said this coldly.
Song Yuanchao knew that his father-in-law looked gentle, but in reality he was a very tough and principled person. After hearing his answer, Song Yuanchao felt relieved, and the purpose of his visit today was achieved.
"Right, let me ask you a favor."
Lin Daoyuan glanced at Song Yuanchao but said nothing.
Song Yuanchao said: "Zheng Guoyuan is a talent, and he has agreed to come to our Si Te Company. I personally think that he will have greater development in Si Te Company and play a stronger role. So I hope that his transfer and subsequent work arrangements can take this aspect into consideration and there will be no obstacles."
"I'll think about this, but you can't just take care of yourself and ignore the Quanlin Factory, right?"
"Of course, but Dad, the merger has become a reality. Even if Zheng Guoyuan continues to serve as the new factory director, it would be inappropriate in some ways. What do you think?"
Lin Daoyuan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. He did have such an idea before, but Song Yuanchao's words reminded him.
The merger of the two factories was an administrative order and a fact. It would be difficult for Lin Daoyuan to change it even if he wanted to.
It is not that it cannot be changed, but the consequences of the change will bring difficulties to various departments and also involve the issue of credibility. From this point of view, the fait accompli that has already been established can only be so. As for re-arranging Zheng Guoyuan to be the head of the new factory, it will also involve many problems, including Zheng Guoyuan's own emotional considerations.
I sighed in my heart. An excellent business manager was lost just like that. This is their mistake and loss! What a pity, what a pity...
Thinking of this, Lin Daoyuan glared at Song Yuanchao, his eyes revealing the meaning of "You, kid, have taken great advantage of me", and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
