Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2101

Niu Xiaoqiang originally thought that this matter would come to fruition soon, but Liu Desheng didn't expect Liu Desheng to call him until now.

"I'm Niu Xiaoqiang, Director Liu, do you have any good news if you call me?"

"This...is not good news."

Niu Xiaoqiang's heart sank, and he said, "You better explain the situation to me in detail."

Liu Desheng immediately nodded and agreed. According to him, there was a difference of opinion among the senior management of Yuejin Automobile Factory. One faction supported the procurement of production lines from Ford Motor Company. Their reason was very simple: "Ford Company is the originator of automobile automation production. Their technology It is very mature, although the price is a bit more expensive, but it is absolutely reasonable. Besides, it is a giant in the corporate industry and is famous all over the world. It is more secure to do business with such a large company. Packard Motors is different. This company is well-known in the United States, but not well-known outside the United States, and more importantly, this company has gone bankrupt before, can you feel at ease doing business with such a company?"

Liu Desheng belongs to the faction that supports Packard Motors, and the reasons he gave are also very good: "Technology is constantly improving, and no company can guarantee that it will always be at the top of technology. Ford is the best example. , Yes, they used to be very good in the field of automated car production, but today is different. In the field of automated car production lines, Ford's technology has been surpassed by Packard Motors. This is the second, the most important thing is Ford The company put forward too many additional conditions, which were too excessive. On the other hand, Packard Motor Company not only sold at a lower price, but also did not make any excessive demands. If this is the case, why should we suffer from Ford? Turn a blind eye to the huge discounts offered by Packard Motors? As for the issue of reputation, this is too ridiculous. If you only rely on reputation to do business, then all companies can only do business with the leader in the industry, and the rest Is the company still necessary?"

The two sides have been arguing from the twelfth lunar month to the present because of differences in ideas, and there has never been a clear result.Liu Desheng was worried that Niu Xiaoqiang had thoughts about him, so he had to call Niu Xiaoqiang in advance to explain the situation before the conclusion came out.

After understanding the situation, Niu Xiaoqiang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Director Liu, Fang's Automobile is using the production line provided by Packard Automobile Company. It is currently undergoing the final adjustment of the equipment, and it will be officially put into production in a few days. Well, why don't you bring these high-level executives to Fang's Automobile Factory for a field inspection and let them see Packard's automated car production line with their own eyes. I think they will be touched after seeing it. Let's discuss it."

Liu Desheng hummed: "Then I'll submit the report now, and strive to lead a team to inspect the Shifang Automobile Factory as soon as possible."

Niu Xiaoqiang said a few words of encouragement before hanging up the phone.

Liu Desheng's speed was very fast. On the third day after he hung up the phone, he brought a dozen people to Aoshan.

Niu Xiaoqiang took Fang Dongping together and personally received Liu Desheng and his party.

After everyone enjoyed the reception banquet in the guest house, Niu Xiaoqiang had a long talk with Liu Desheng.The purpose of the long talk is to understand the composition of the investigation team.

Niu Xiaoqiang was too lazy to go around in circles, and asked directly: "Director Liu, who in the team you brought are against you?"

Liu Desheng immediately replied: "This team is mainly divided into two factions, first of all, the old factory director, then I and deputy factory director He are in the same group, Wang and Xu are in the same group, especially the Wang Baldy, he and I are both strong contenders for the next factory director. In order to be promoted to factory director, the two of us have never confronted each other. As long as it is something I support, he will definitely oppose it. As long as it is something I oppose, He will definitely support it, and will not ask right or wrong at all.”

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted, he was not surprised by this situation at all.Many domestic enterprises are like this. Some people, out of self-interest considerations, often do not ask what is right or wrong, and oppose it purely for the sake of opposition.

Just like the situation encountered by Liu Desheng, he originally firmly supported the cooperation with Ford, but later under Niu Xiaoqiang's operation, Liu Desheng changed his attitude, and he decided to abandon Ford and choose to cooperate with Packard Motors.

When Liu Desheng chose to cooperate with Ford, the deputy factory director Wang immediately expressed his opposition firmly. When Liu Desheng's attitude changed 180 degrees and abandoned Ford, the factory director Wang's attitude also changed 180 degrees. He has made a big change in his attitude and firmly supports the cooperation with Ford.

In Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes, this was very ridiculous, and it meant that children were fighting against each other.

Niu Xiaoqiang asked with a smile: "What is the attitude of the old factory director on this matter?"

Liu Desheng replied: "The old factory manager will retire this year, and his children all work in our factory. In order not to offend others and affect their children's work, the old factory manager has always adopted an attitude of not helping each other. Every time the factory committee When there is a vote on this matter, the old factory manager will abstain from voting."

Whenever a major project is encountered, the company generally adopts a voting method to decide.The advantage of doing this is that the responsibility can be shared, and if any bad consequences occur, everyone will not be punished too much.

The disadvantage of this is that the administrative efficiency is very low. Many times, everyone will argue with each other out of their own interests. After a long debate, no clear conclusion can be reached.

This is the case not only at Yuejin Automobile Factory, but also at Nanfeng Automobile Factory.Niu Xiaoqiang met the deputy director of Nanfeng Automobile Factory last year and helped his children study abroad.Inheriting such a great favor from him, the deputy factory director must have gone all out to facilitate the cooperation project, but since this is the case, Nanfeng Automobile Factory still has not come up with a clear result so far.

After pondering for a moment, Niu Xiaoqiang asked, "From your point of view, if you want to turn the situation around, what is the easiest and most feasible way?"

Liu Desheng didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "There are five people in our factory who have voting rights, and they are the main members of the three factions I just introduced to you. If you want to turn the situation around, there are two easiest and most effective ways. One, the first is to persuade the old factory manager to support us, and the second is to instigate against the deputy factory manager Xu, as long as any one of them supports us, the project will be considered approved."
