Chapter 5 5. To retain talents, you have to rely on tickets and seats

A few months passed in a flash, and it was early summer.The sky in June is like a child's face, it changes as soon as it changes.In the afternoon, the originally blue sky suddenly turned into a big black curtain, and even the most dazzling sun disappeared without a trace.Thick black clouds squeezed the sky, covering up the scarlet eyes just now.The protruding wind shuttled fiercely, leaving people's exclamations behind.The weak little flowers and grasses have already surrendered to the ground tremblingly, waiting for a heavy rain to wash away. Du Linxiang was sitting in the office with a cigarette in his left hand and a pen in his right hand reviewing documents.Seeing the dark clouds outside the window, he couldn't help thinking of An Youqi.In the morning, An Youqi called, saying that she had something important to do, and she would come to the office to report face-to-face at three o'clock in the afternoon.Is she coming soon?Catch up with the heavy rain, the roads in Hezhou must be blocked, so don't delay on the road.

In the past few months, An Youqi has been in charge of the work in the metallurgical plant as the executive vice president of Weitong Group.The turmoil has gradually receded, the mood of the workers has stabilized, and the relocation work is progressing in an orderly manner.Du Linxiang even found a professional manager for the metallurgical plant, and he will take up the post after a while.There is still a lot of trouble on the group side, An Youqi must get back as soon as possible. The thick leather-bound door of Du Linxiang's office was pushed open, and An Youqi walked in quickly.Du Linxiang said gently: "Looking at the weather, I was worried that you would be blocked on the road by heavy rain."

An Youqi smiled: "The weather is really weird. It was over an hour ago with dark clouds, but it still hasn't rained." Du Linxiang asked: "What's going on at the metallurgical plant?" An Youqi took a sip of tea and said, "I have two things to do when I come here today, let's talk about the first one first. The security guard who was the first to beat Tao Xuefeng was later arrested by the police. It is said that the trial will be held next week. Many people from the metallurgical plant came to me to intercede. I hope that Weitong can come forward to do the work and sentence the security guard as lightly as possible. I thought about it carefully and thought that if the sentence is really light, it will be good for the current situation of the metallurgical plant. "

Du Linxiang nodded.The current situation of the metallurgical plant has not come easily, so there must be no further incidents.No matter workers, enterprises or the government, they all hope that the unhappy page will be turned over as soon as possible.Sentencing the security guard lightly not only brought an end to the whole incident, but also fulfilled Du Linxiang's promise not to settle accounts later. "What you said makes sense." Du Linxiang tapped his fingers on the desk, "I don't want to cause any disturbance because of the heavy sentence of the security guard. But after all, this is a human life lawsuit, and it has already entered the judicial process. What can we do? "

An Youqi said: "I have consulted with lawyers, and it is easy for the court to give a lighter sentence. It is Tao Xuefeng's family members who must reach an understanding with the security guard and intercede for the security guard in court. Conversely, if the victim's family insists on a heavy sentence, the problem will be It's very troublesome." Du Linxiang asked: "Tao Xuefeng's wife, what is your attitude now?" An Youqi said: "She has been putting pressure on the court to severely punish the murderer. My friends in the court told me that according to the law, if the victim's family does not let go, the court will not find a reason to give him a lighter sentence."

Du Linxiang already understood the crux of the problem, and he asked, "Have you visited Tao Xuefeng's wife?" An Youqi nodded, and then said helplessly: "She is still very emotional now, and others can't listen to what others say. She also said that if the court can't uphold justice and allow the murderer to pay for his life, she will not only appeal, but even Will visit again." Du Linxiang couldn't help frowning.From the bottom of his heart, he was also filled with grief and indignation at Tao Xuefeng's death, but for the long-term development of the company, this matter must be calmed down as soon as possible.

If the security guard is really to be sentenced severely, how will the workers in the metallurgical plant feel, and will there be any trouble again?If Tao Xuefeng's wife continued to quarrel, it would disrupt the overall situation even more.Du Linxiang recalled the last conversation with Yuan Kai, Tao Xuefeng's death has been a few months, it is no longer news.But if Tao's widow petitioned everywhere, wouldn't it become another news? "You can't let a woman mess around." Du Linxiang emphasized, "Xuefeng is my good brother, and I am also very sad about his death. But if you mess around, can Xuefeng come back to life? You still have to go and talk to her Let's talk about it and let her focus on the overall situation. Of course, the company will also make compensation to the Tao family within its ability."

An Youqi shook her head: "I've already said what I should say, but she couldn't listen to a word. Tao Xuefeng is Mr. Lin's old subordinate. I think it would be better if Mr. Lin came forward to talk." Du Linxiang silently lit a cigarette.It is indeed difficult for An Youqi to talk about it again.I don't know when, the Weitong Group has also been divided into two factions.The veterans of the construction team back then gathered around Lin Zhengliang.For the people in the marketing department, only An Youqi followed suit.The two groups of people have long disagreed with each other.Tao Xuefeng was Lin Zhengliang's confidant, not to mention that his family didn't give An Youqi face after his death, even when he was alive, he would often contradict An Youqi's words.

Du Linxiang knew that there were many factions in the officialdom, and they fought against each other. He didn't expect that his own company would be divided into hills just after it had a small scale.It really confirms that sentence - where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!When there is a chance, I must personally take action to cure this unhealthy trend. Du Linxiang pulled back his thoughts, called his secretary and said, "Call Mr. Lin to my office immediately." Five minutes later, Lin Zhengliang walked in.Du Linxiang pointed to An Youqi and said, "Tell Zhengliang what we discussed just now."

Unexpectedly, just as An Youqi was halfway through her speech, Lin Zhengliang jumped up in a rage: "What kind of bad idea is this? Didn't you tell me to bully other orphans and widows? The madman is our brother who has been with us for ten years, and now he is being beaten alive Death, we are useless enough if we can’t avenge him, and let his wife forgive the murderer?” Lin Zhengliang and Tao Xuefeng’s friendship is indeed not deep, and they have been dead for several months, Lin Zhengliang still uses the affectionate “lunatic” to call him. Just as An Youqi wanted to explain, Lin Zhengliang slapped the table with a slap: "Don't use the third brother as a shield. I know the third brother, and he would never come up with such an idea. I would like to ask Mr. An, do you have any intentions?" Do you want to put the third brother into a situation of injustice, or do you want to break the hearts of the company?"

How could An Youqi give up easily? She said tit-for-tat: "If you have something to say, don't yell. I'll report my thoughts to Mr. Du. What's wrong? I'm looking at the overall situation. For the long-term development of the company. Unlike some people, who only know how to worry about the messy things in their own small circle." This sentence can be regarded as hitting Lin Zhengliang's sore spot.He was furious: "What do you mean by that? Why are you so calm? Don't think I don't know. I'm thinking about the long-term interests of the company today. An employee was beaten to death at work. If we pursue it further, how many people will be chilled, and will anyone still be willing to work hard in the future?" When the two were at a stalemate, Du Linxiang stood up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Why are you arguing? It's useless for any of you to talk about this matter, I will talk about it." The office suddenly fell silent, the three of them didn't speak, and the air seemed to freeze.At this time, a few bolts of lightning flashed across the sky, and the rain finally started to rain.The trees and houses in the distance seemed to be shrouded in light smoke, the raindrops slapped on the glass windows, and water splashed on the viewing platform outside the office. Du Linxiang calmed down, and said to An Youqi, "Go back first." The rain is getting heavier.In the office, only Du and Lin were left.Du Linxiang understood that Lin Zhengliang's outburst just now had actually been held back in his heart.Back then when he prevented Lin Zhengliang from going to the metallurgical plant to seek revenge, Lin Zhengliang had a tantrum.Today, I finally seized the opportunity and came to talk about it quickly.After all, Lin Zhengliang didn't dare to attack him directly, so he used An Youqi as a punching bag. "Next." Du Linxiang took out a cigarette from the drawer and threw it to Lin Zhengliang, "Third brother knows that you are unhappy, and also knows that you are a person who wants to save face. So I asked Mr. An to go out first, and now it's just us brothers, There's something you can say." Du Linxiang doesn't study much, but he is self-taught when it comes to insight into human relationships and sophistication, and he can be called a first-class master.He knew that with years of connections and his own prestige, it would not be difficult to convince Lin Zhengliang.You can't be persuaded, but you can be persuaded.But if An Youqi was also on the scene, Lin Zhengliang, who was being scolded, would feel very humiliated, and would even contradict him when he was in a hurry.Let An Youqi go out, and then kindly toss Lin Zhengliang a cigarette, as if telling the other party that we brothers are our own people, and if we have anything to say, we can discuss it behind closed doors. This trick really worked, and Lin Zhengliang who took the cigarette was grateful: "Third brother, I was a little reckless just now. I don't have any opinion on you, I really don't like that bitch An Youqi." Du Linxiang smiled and said, "Between us brothers, do I care about this?" Du Linxiang picked up the cigarette, and Lin Zhengliang hurried forward to light the lighter.Lin Zhengliang said: "Third Brother, the lunatic has been with us for ten years, and now that something has happened, how can we bully the orphans and widows?" "It can't be called bullying, it should be called appeasement." Du Linxiang said, "If it is true that the blood debt is paid, Xuefeng will be able to live? This matter can be settled sooner, and their family can start a normal life sooner." Du Linxiang took a deep breath: "The current situation in the metallurgical plant has finally stabilized. If the security guard is severely punished, something may happen. We are the heads of a large enterprise now, and we must consider the overall situation. You Say?" Lin Zhengliang was noncommittal, but said, "How can you do this to the madman's family?" Du Linxiang said: "After Xuefeng passed away, the company has already issued a pension. This time, if his family can intercede in court for the security guard, I can add another sum of compensation. Again, the dead are already dead. Well, the living must continue to live. I will never be stingy when it comes to compensation. With this money, the Tao family will be able to live comfortably for decades to come." "This is human life! Let's just take the money?" Lin Zhengliang still insisted. "You're right, it's a human life! But what can we do to save the life?" Du Linxiang raised his voice, "Even if the murderer is killed, what will the Tao family get? It can only be a bad breath! This tone can go to hell. Buying a house and paying the children’s tuition? You know, third brother, I’m not a heartless person. I’ve been heartbroken for what happened to Xuefeng. Pensions are an expression of the company, and as a person, I won’t Leave it alone. Xuefeng's parents will be my parents from now on; his children will be my children; his wife will be my own sister. If there are any difficulties at home, just talk to me." When Du Linxiang got to this point, Lin Zhengliang had no choice but to sit on the sofa and smoke silently.Du Linxiang took a slow breath: "Zhengliang, this time you will help the third brother. I know that now the Tao family will not listen to anyone, but only you." With An Youqi not present, Du Linxiang no longer had to think about how to take care of Lin Zhengliang's face when he spoke, and he didn't even have to worry about his own face.At the beginning, he explained to Lin Zhengliang with reason and righteousness, using the majesty of the boss to suppress the other party, and the last sentence was almost a brother's affection. Lin Zhengliang couldn't say anything more, so he had to agree: "The third brother has spoken, so I have to follow through." Lin Zhengliang walked out of the office resentfully.Du Linxiang looked back at the rain scene outside the window, feeling a little confused.He didn't know if it was too cruel to treat a brother who had followed him for ten years in this way.Alas, after all, the dead cannot be brought back to life.In the future, for Xuefeng's family affairs, if I do my best, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation! While meditating, An Youqi walked in again, and she asked softly, "Boss Lin agreed to go to work?" Du Linxiang came back to his senses: "He agreed." He then asked: "Didn't I ask you to go back to the metallurgical plant first?" An Youqi said: "I told you, there are two things I came here today, and I only talked about the first one just now." "Yes, yes! Look at my brain, my memory is too bad. Tell me what's the matter." Du Linxiang said. "There is a man named Zhuang Zhiqi in the metallurgical plant, do you remember? He is the deputy director of the third workshop." An Youqi said. Du Linxiang thought for a while: "I have an impression. Isn't it the representative who came to negotiate with us at that time?" "Yes, that's him." An Youqi nodded, "Yesterday he handed me his resignation report, saying that he would leave the metallurgical plant." "That's it?" Du Linxiang asked. "Yes." An Youqi replied. Du Linxiang said impatiently: "Look at what you're making a fuss about! A deputy director of the workshop can leave as soon as he wants, and I didn't kick him out." Because of Tao Xuefeng's matter, Du Linxiang's mood was a little gloomy.In addition, he couldn't figure out that the fate of a deputy director of the workshop was worthy of An Youqi's special report? An Youqi raised her voice at this time: "Let Zhuang Zhiqi go, don't you regret it?" Du Linxiang was even more strange: "The deputy director of the small workshop, one more than him is not too much, and one less of him is not much, what should I regret?" "Don't underestimate the deputy director of the workshop." An Youqi said, "Zhou Yujie, Gao Mingyong, and even myself may not have Zhuang Zhiqi's ability." Du Linxiang was choked by the tea and coughed violently.What An Youqi said surprised him so much!In Du Linxiang's heart, those who are really relied on as his right-hand man and entered the core layer of the enterprise are the former Zhou Yujie and the current An Youqi, Lin Zhengliang, Gao Mingyong and a few others.An, Lin, and Gao are now well-known figures in the Hezhou real estate circle.Although Zhou Yujie's reputation was ruined and his life and death were unknown, he had done some earth-shattering events.It must be known that those who can leave a bad name among all living beings for thousands of years must not be mediocre people. An Youqi is a proud and arrogant woman, she has never taken a fancy to the big boss Lin Zhengliang, so she only mentioned Zhou Yujie, Gao Mingyong and herself.What's even more incredible is that she thinks that a deputy director of the workshop is more powerful than the three of them. Du Linxiang thumped his chest, and managed to calm himself down: "You came here on purpose today because you want to play Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin?" An Youqi smiled: "I've done everything I need to do, it depends on whether you want to be Liu Bang or not." After what An Youqi said, Du Linxiang began to search for information related to Zhuang Zhiqi in his mind.There are too few interactions between them, and the only thing that can impress Du Linxiang is the tit-for-tat negotiation. Du Linxiang vaguely remembered that it was this Zhuang Zhiqi who never gave in during the negotiations and pushed himself into a corner many times.Du Linxiang also remembered one incident. When the negotiation was about to end, Zhuang Zhiqi suddenly threw out a condition that Witcom would pay high salaries to retain those engineers who were about to quit.Regarding Zhuang Zhiqi's move, even the workers' representatives of the metallurgical plant were a little puzzled - the old men are here to fight for their own welfare, why are they meddling in so much business? This Zhuang Zhiqi is really different from ordinary people.Du Linxiang muttered silently in his heart. Du Linxiang picked up his teacup and asked, "A deputy director of the workshop, is he really worthy of your high praise?" "Don't talk about the deputy director of the workshop." An Youqi said, "Zhuang Zhiqi was the deputy general manager of the metallurgical plant seven years ago. At that time, the company had not yet been restructured, and he was still a serious department-level cadre in terms of rank." Du Linxiang almost choked on another sip of water: "Seven years ago, he was the deputy general manager, but now he is the deputy director of the workshop? How did he get along?" An Youqi sat on the sofa and told Du Linxiang about Zhuang Zhiqi's ups and downs in life. Zhuang Zhiqi is from Hunan. He was admitted to the Central University of Finance and Economics with the top score in science in the county.After graduating from university, Zhuang Zhiqi followed his girlfriend to Hezhou and worked in a metallurgical plant. His impressive diploma made him stand out quickly, and he became the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the factory at the age of 28.At the same time, he also used his spare time to obtain a master's degree in finance from Southwestern University of Finance and Economics.The topic of Zhuang Zhiqi's master's thesis is "How to use the modern capital market to boost the reform of state-owned enterprises". When Zhuang Zhiqi was just in his thirties, fate gave him a chance to spread his knowledge.The metallurgical plant plans to go public. As the only master of finance in the factory, Zhuang Zhiqi is appointed as the executive deputy leader of the listing preparation team, and the team leader is concurrently held by the company's top leader.In the next two years, Zhuang Zhiqi worked hard and finally managed to operate Hezhou Metallurgy to enter the A-share market.Immediately afterwards, Zhuang Zhiqi was appointed as the deputy general manager and was selected as a model worker in the province. However, less than half a year after Hezhou Metallurgical was successfully listed, a series of blows followed.Wang Shuchun, then general manager of Hezhou Metallurgy, was involved in an insider trading case in the securities market and was imprisoned. Zhuang Zhiqi was inevitably implicated. The marketing department became a minister. Later, Gu Weimin took over Hezhou Metallurgy and devoted himself to using this shell to collect money.Zhuang Zhiqi stood up against it many times, and even wrote letters to the higher authorities to report the situation.As a result, he was naturally unpopular, and the head of the marketing department soon became the deputy director of the office. After a series of operations, Gu Weimin finally took away a clean shell, but left a dilapidated factory in Hezhou.After being matched by the government, Du Linxiang bought the Hezhou Metallurgical Plant.Tao Xuefeng, who was sent to the metallurgical plant to take charge of the work, claimed to streamline the administration and send all the redundant staff in the office to the production line.In this way, Zhuang Zhiqi became the deputy director of the workshop. Because the listing of the company did not bring much benefit to the workers, Zhuang Zhiqi also became an unpopular and even despised role in the factory.From time to time, old workers would poke him in the back, saying that the surnamed Zhuang was tossing around all day, trying to make something go public, and that's why he turned the good factory into this look.When the workers in the metallurgical factory made troubles and recommended Zhuang Zhiqi as the negotiator to talk to Du Linxiang, many people objected, saying that the man surnamed Zhuang was a scab at heart.It's just that everyone felt that Zhuang Zhiqi was the only one in the factory who had a high level of education and had seen the world, so let's give him a chance to make meritorious deeds. Du Linxiang said thoughtfully: "From what you said, this man is quite famous. What do you think?" An Youqi said: "Of course I want to keep him. If you want to keep someone, you have to provide a seat and a ticket." Du Linxiang asked: "How many tickets and what seat?" An Youqi said: "For a talent like Zhuang Zhiqi, the annual salary is not only on par with Lin Zhengliang, but at least on the same level as Gao Mingyong. Five hundred thousand a year?" Du Linxiang hesitated for a moment and said: "Have an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, is he worth it? As far as I know, the deputy director of the metallurgical plant's workshop is now only paid more than 2,000 yuan a month. Let's raise him so high?" An Youqi insisted: "If the annual salary of 500,000 can really keep Zhuang Zhiqi, you will earn a fortune." Du Linxiang nodded: "Okay, it's up to you. Where is that seat?" An Youqi said: "After I returned to the group, I asked Zhuang Zhiqi to take charge of the work in the metallurgical plant. His ability level is much better than the professional manager you found." "No!" Du Linxiang said categorically, "The metallurgical plant is an acquired company after all, and the top leaders have to be sent from the group, and the old people in the plant cannot be used." "Then what do you mean..." An Youqi asked. Du Linxiang said: "Since you admire him so much, you should promote him to be a vice president first. Then we can observe him again." An Youqi was a little worried: "I'm afraid Zhuang Zhiqi won't agree." "After Butcher Zhang died, we just ate muddy pigs? There's no such thing." Du Linxiang said, "We are also considered as corporals, and we have shown enough sincerity. Could it be that the boss humbly begs the employees?" An Youqi got up and said, "I'll go back and do some work." Du Linxiang was left alone in the office.He looked up at the window, the rain had stopped.A rainbow loomed in the sky.With the rapid economic development, the pollution situation in Hezhou is also intensifying. It has been a long time since I have seen such a rainbow in the sky.Du Linxiang unconsciously opened the window and greedily took a breath of fresh air after the rain.The depressed mood improved a lot for a while. At this time, the mobile phone in the drawer rang.Du Linxiang picked it up and saw that it was actually Lai Jingdong calling.He excitedly pressed the answer button: "Mr. Lai, hello!"
