Chapter 21 Chapter 21

"Pingchuan Daily" industry reporter Wang Darui entered the gate of Pingchuan Textile Machinery Factory after seeing the eye-catching big sign of "China Pingchuan Textile Machinery Group Corporation".But after entering the factory gate, they searched up and down the four-story office building of the factory department, but they couldn't find the headquarters of this huge group.Later, only after being instructed by others, did I meet the group boss, Zhang Datong, his old comrade-in-arms in the army, in a row of dilapidated car sheds behind the factory office building.This "group" is really shabby, including the boss Zhang Datong, more than 20 people are all crowded in three broken carports connected together to work.I don't know where to find the desks, they are all kinds, and there are even two or three broken desks used by middle school students.What made Wang Darui especially amused was that there were cards on each broken table, such as finance department, business department, production department, domestic development department, and international development department.There are two cards on Zhang Datong's desk, one is "General Manager" and the other is "Secretary of the Party Committee".

Wang Darui sat down at the desk of the general manager and secretary of the party committee of the group, and said with some disdain: "Old comrade, just like this, how dare you call yourself a group? I can't even brag about it for you." Get up!" Zhang Datong was answering the phone at this time, and when he heard Wang Darui's words, he laughed, covered the phone with his hands, and said in a hurry: "Who told you, Wang Dachui, to play for me? You just need to play for me, brother, I will Must be miserable for days." Wang Darui ignored Zhang Datong's phone call, pointed to Zhang Datong's forehead and shouted: "Datong, you don't have a conscience! Tell me, how did I, the chief reporter of the industry, treat you? Which of your great moments did I not have Wang Darui present? This time, the authorized operation of state-owned assets and the establishment of the group head office, I wrote you another big article?!"

Zhang Datong waved his hand, signaled Wang Darui to stop talking, and calmly talked about the group's work into the microphone: "Okay, okay, Director Wang, don't argue with me, the documents of the municipal party committee and the municipal government have already been sent to You. I have made it very clear at the company’s party committee and board of directors that my group company is not a flop company, nor is it a management organization. I am a first-level legal person, and the member factories of your group can only be Second-level legal person! I am entrusted by the Pingchuan Municipal Government to operate the 400 million state-owned assets of the group. I will count on what I say. If you don’t send the original legal person license to me before 12:00 today, you will have all the consequences yourself Responsible!"

Just as the phone was put down here, another phone rang again. Zhang Datong is still so calm: "Oh, it's Secretary Xu? What? You can't understand the group's No. 13 document? It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. You can understand it after reading it a few times. Let me tell you, it's not me What Zhang Datong personally means is the meaning of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. This is not called handing over power, but scale operation. A few years ago, the decentralization of corporate power was right, and it was a reform; It is also right to carry out overall planning of asset management, make fists, and form a scale. It is also a reform, and it is a reform at a deeper level. This is not what I said, but what Secretary Wu Mingxiong and Mayor Shu Huaru said repeatedly. You want If you still don’t understand, you can go directly to the municipal party committee and the municipal government for consultation.” Putting down the phone, Zhang Datong said to Wang Daduan with emotion: “It’s really hard to do something nowadays, many factories can’t even pay wages, his little bureaucrat and a group of It’s fun to be a super legal person. If you don’t give him a hard time, he will dare to ignore you.” Only then did Wang Darui have a little respect for Zhang Datong, and his tone changed, saying: “Old comrade, I didn’t expect Isn’t your place awesome? Are you really in charge of 400 million state-owned assets?!”

Zhang Datong said: "Isn't it? The group's more than 20 member factories are now under the unified management of the group. According to the spirit of the municipal party committee and the city government, some factories will expand their existing bases, and some factories will close down. Some factories are going to change production. Under such circumstances, how can we not take over the power?" Wang Darui said: "This is also called reform? Isn't this reformed for a long time and then transferred back? In the past, we always said that we should respect the autonomy of enterprises. We need to separate the government from enterprises and decentralize power. When your brother was the director of the textile machinery factory, you encouraged me to write an article to appeal for you!" Zhang Datong said: "That was then, and now is now. Now, like The reform of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises like ours should have some new ideas. I have often gone abroad to discuss projects in the past two years. Only when I went abroad did I know that the operating scale of a company in the United States exceeds the sum of hundreds of similar companies and factories in China. .We still do our own thing, and we are tossing around here. How can we enter the international market in our lifetime? How can we possibly occupy the share of the international market? The machinery industry is more different from the general industry. There is no scale. Impossible, especially in this economic downturn. This is also the case in the auto industry. The reason why we do this today is to fight a bloody road for Pingchuan and China's textile machinery industry. You Wang Dachui can Give us a good blow on that.”

Wang Darui said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's no problem. If you want to blow it up, you can blow it up. I, Wang Dachui, am an advocate of reform!" At this time, a lesbian with the logo of the production department pinned to her chest came with a middle-aged man who was sweating profusely. The lesbian in the production department said: "Mr. Zhang, the merger negotiations between the No. 2 Foundry and the No. 3 Textile Machinery Factory cannot go on. The No. 2 Foundry has changed its mind and insisted that this is not a merger, but that it was eaten by the No. 3 Textile Machinery Factory." , A regular-level factory has become a workshop for others.”

The sweaty middle-aged man was Director Liu of the Sanfang Machinery Factory. Director Liu followed up and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's really not possible. I think it's better to show it. To be honest, I would rather build a new foundry workshop." , I don’t want such a broken factory that loses money.” Zhang Datong was furious, and ordered: "You must implement everything set by the group! The production structure must be adjusted, and none of you say it. You are now a second-level legal person and have no independent status to the outside world. The group's merger with you It's an internal matter, whoever doesn't do it will get rid of it!"

Director Liu said: "Mr. Zhang, you'd better go to the No. 2 Foundry to explain it yourself." Zhang Datong ignored him, and called to the other corner of the broken carport: "Secretary Leng, come here." Leng Haisheng, deputy secretary of the group party committee, came over. Zhang Datong said to Leng Haisheng: "Go to the No. 2 Foundry with Director Liu immediately and announce the group's merger decision again. If No. 2 Casting does not do so, you will immediately follow the regulations of the Party's No. The factory director and secretary of the casting were dismissed immediately! Erzhu has made it like this, and these two people only know how to drink all day long. I think such cadres should have stepped down a long time ago!" Leng Haisheng responded, leading Liu The factory manager and the lesbians from the production department left.

At this moment, the phone rang again, and Zhang Datong said "Hello" to the phone, but when there was no sound, he started talking to Wang Darui again: "What do you want me to do, a big reporter? Do you really want to brag for me?" ? Help my group create revolutionary public opinion?" Just as Wang Darui was about to explain his reason for coming, Zhang Datong spoke into the phone again. The call was made by Shu Huaru, the mayor, to understand the recent situation of the group. Zhang Datong said: "Mayor Shu, don't worry, with the full support of you and Secretary Wu, Zhang Datong has decided on this bone. I will not push any personnel in the unit of the group to the city. I still have some As for ambition, if the city agrees, I would also like to incorporate the Pingchuan No. 1 Machinery Factory and the Steel Structure Factory into the group.”

Shu Huaru said on the phone: "I think it can be considered. This will not only expand your group, but also help the city solve two difficult enterprises. However, this matter needs to be discussed with Mayor Cao and Mayor Yan. I heard that Mayor Yan is discussing the merger of the No. 1 Machinery Factory with the Taiwan Fahrenheit Group, but I don’t know how it’s going.” Zhang Datong was very happy and said: "Okay, if I have you, I will go to Mayor Cao and Mayor Yan tomorrow." Before putting down the phone, Zhang Datong asked in a joking tone, "Mayor Shu, you The city may have received a lot of letters suing me?!"

Shu Huaru asked, "Are you scared?" Zhang Datong said, "As long as you and Secretary Wu are not confused, I am not afraid!" After putting down the phone this time, Zhang Datong was silent for a while. Wang Darui didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly explained his reason for coming this time: "Old comrades, I really came this time to create revolutionary public opinion for your group. Our newspaper office and the Municipal Entrepreneurs Association jointly compiled a book, The title of the book is "Pingchuan Star Enterprise and Pingchuan Enterprise Star". The consultant is Chen Zhongyang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and I am the editor-in-chief. As the editor-in-chief, can I not think of you, an old comrade in arms? I will put you, a famous entrepreneur, and your famous group together. It’s in the middle.” Zhang Datong laughed: “You really really flattered me? What do I have to brag about now? The group has just been established, the relationship has not been straightened out, and more than half of the member factories are losing money. You can see it with your own eyes. When I arrived, I was angry and swearing, smoking all over my body." Wang Darui said: "This is what makes you and your group so valuable. When I watched you work just now, I thought, you are really a Joe from the 90s. Factory director, I am really convinced of you. So, I have already thought of the title of the article, and it is called "Xinqiao Factory Director's Appointment Notes." Zhang Datong waved his hands straight: "No, no, my surname is not Qiao." Wang Darui thought there was a door, and said: "Then it's called "Group Company in the Broken Carport"." Zhang Datong said: "This is even more unacceptable! Are you flattering me or hurting me? My group is seeking to cooperate with the American KTBL Group Company. If you say that I work in a broken carport, do Yankees still believe me?!" Wang Darui didn't want to spend too much time on such trivial issues, so he said: "Okay, okay, you can decide on the title, as long as you give me 10,000 yuan as a sponsor, I will be responsible for bragging about your old comrade-in-arms." Zhang Datong was stunned: "What? What? Sponsorship of 10,000 yuan? Brother, let me see if all the belongings in my three offices are worth 10,000 yuan? No, you can drag me, the boss, out and sell it." !" Wang Darui pointed Zhang Datong's forehead and laughed straight: "Look, are you stingy? Are you stingy? You are playing with 400 million state-owned assets. If you ask you for a sponsorship of 10,000 yuan, you still call! Don't tell me I'm still Even if you are not boasting about you in the book, if you are asked to sponsor the cultural publishing industry, you still need to have some friends." Zhang Datong said: "Old comrade-in-arms, I'm not joking with you. None of the 400 million yuan belongs to Zhang Datong personally. Moreover, this is also the most difficult time for me. I haven't received my salary for three months. , I also ask you, for the sake of the old comrades-in-arms, wait a few days later to fatten me up before slaughtering me, okay?" Wang Darui had nothing to say, he laughed dryly for a long time, got up and said goodbye. When Zhang Datong said goodbye to Wang Darui, he jokingly asked: "Old comrade, if there is no money for you, are you going to brag for our group?" Wang Darui said solemnly: "What's this called? If you don't have money, you can brag as much as you want. As I said, I, Wang Darui, am the advocate of reform!" Zhang Datong was happy: "Okay, you old comrade-in-arms have both affection and artistic conscience. When I get really fat, I will let you be the first to strike!" As soon as Zhang Datong finished speaking, uncontrollable laughter rang out in the three offices. Amidst the laughter, Cao Wuping, the deputy mayor, came in, saw Wang Darui and said, "Oh, Wang Dachui is here too? No wonder it's so lively. This time, Wang Dachui, are you blowing the wind of reform, or the wind of injustice? "Wang Darui smiled bitterly and said: "Mayor Cao, look at you, the leader is also joking with our little reporter." Turning around, he said solemnly to Zhang Datong, "Mr. Zhang, please set a time, and I will interview you , I thought of another title, which is called "Killing a Bloody Road"." Cao Wuping clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, this title is accurate and powerful. Not only Zhang Zong and a textile machinery group, but almost all of our industries in Pingchuan are facing what to do. It's a question of killing a bloody road!" Thirty-one met Bai Zhilin, the chairman of the private Asia Pacific Group Company, and it was really not easy.Entering the lobby of the small building of the Asia-Pacific Company, Wang Darui handed the business card printed with "National Title Reporter" to the lady of the public relations department in the lobby. The lady only glanced at the business card, then smiled, but asked coldly: " Does Mr. Wang have anything to do with our chairman?" Wang Darui said: "I am Wang Darui from Pingchuan Daily, and I want to talk to you, Boss, about something very important." The public relations lady still smiled and asked coldly, "Have you made an appointment with our chairman?" Wang Darui was really angry, and he reiterated again: "I am Wang Darui from "Pingchuan Daily", a well-known industrial reporter. Articles are often published in the first edition. I have a national title. Miss, you have never heard of it?" The public relations lady took a serious look at the business card in her hand. After reading it, she still shook her head and asked with a smile, "What is a reporter with a national professional title? Aren't all our professional title series stipulated by the state?" Wang Darui looked around in the small building, and said disdainfully: "I won't tell you, you don't understand." The public relations lady said indifferently: "I was a lecturer in the engineering college, and I also have the national title you mentioned." This made Wang Darui extremely embarrassed. He did not expect that the lady from the Asia-Pacific Public Relations Department had the title of lecturer.In the past, Wang Darui only heard that Bo Zhilin was a doctoral student and an associate professor. He didn't know that most of the employees of Asia Pacific Company were young intellectuals with high education and professional titles. Wang Darui's tone suddenly became more modest, and he said in a negotiating tone: "How about, miss, please give my business card to Boss, and ask him to make an appointment for me to interview him." Then the public relations lady said: "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll ask the chairman if he can take some time to talk to you now." After a while, the lady came back and said: "Sir, please wait a moment. Our chairman is discussing something with the female boss of Taiwan Huashi Group. It will be ready soon." Sure enough, it will be fine soon.After a while, Bai Zhilin, chairman of Asia Pacific, came down from upstairs, shook Wang Darui's hand enthusiastically and said, "Welcome, welcome, it is our Asia Pacific leader who can come to our private company for interviews. It's an honor." Then, he introduced to the public relations lady in turn, "Reporter Wang is not an ordinary small reporter, but a well-known industrial reporter. His articles are often published in the first edition, and he is a big celebrity in Pingchuan." Wang Darui was accepted by the public relations lady. Leng Yu, I'm really flattered now, and praised Bo Zhilin: "You Boss, you are a big celebrity, not only famous in Pingchuan, but also famous in the province, even the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor know you." Bo Zhilin shook Wang Darui's hand and laughed loudly: "So, reporter Wang Da still has some understanding of the situation of me and our company?" Wang Darui said confidently: "Don't you know something? I know it very well. I participated in the discussion on private companies earlier. In a symposium held by the newspaper, I made a long speech in full support of you and your company. I Having said that, the real hope of China's industry actually lies in you young people who dare to think and do. I wanted to write an article for you at that time, but because I was too busy with work, it was delayed until now. Now, our newspaper office wants to edit this article To promote and promote the enterprises in our city, I thought of you Asia-Pacific for the first time. I would like to ask a very profound and realistic question: Why are your private enterprises still in the face of the general downturn in the economy of the whole country and the city? Can it develop at a high speed?"
