Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 167 Leave a Hand

This morning, the general staff meeting of the home textile factory to reduce staff and increase efficiency was chaired by Vice President Lin, and the main relevant work mobilization and deployment were made.

What is unusual about previous conferences is that Mr. Zhou, the boss of the company, rarely attended the conference and made an important speech.He said that now is a special period for the company's development, and increasing revenue and reducing expenditure will be a long-term and urgent task for the company.

In the end, Mr. Zhou emphasized that in terms of cost reduction, the transformation of the company's production process and the streamlining of job responsibilities are effective means of "reducing staff". Effective means of increasing efficiency.Under the premise of not increasing equipment investment and production cost, there is only one purpose, which is to improve the competitiveness of the enterprise.

After the conference, after lunch, Luo Bin returned to his office.He usually uses this relatively free time to read the letters sent by the guard that day and browse some newspapers and periodicals.The material procurement department has a lot of letters every day, so Luo Bin didn't pay much attention to it, and just opened the express box on the top.

He casually opened the envelope and took out the documents inside to have a look, but he was so startled that he stood up from the chair directly.This is the exposing letter that reported Luo Bin's corruption.

After reading each word, Luo Bin was stunned.Although it was early spring, and the weather was warm and cold, but fine beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead.The words in black and white, especially the bright red seal on it, were magnified infinitely in his eyes, as if they were bloody and ferocious.

His first reaction was to immediately call the supplier, Boss Zhang.When he talked about the report on the phone, Boss Zhang strongly denied it, and swore that his company did not have this salesman at all, and there was no such number in all the company's business chapters.

Luo Bin faxed the denouncing letter to Boss Zhang.As soon as Boss Zhang saw the fax, he said with certainty, Manager Luo, I can be [-]% sure that this is a false accusation.Hehe, don't take it seriously. It's not like this kind of thing has happened before, isn't it always safe and sound in the end?
Luo Bin asked again on the phone, "Old Zhang, I told you to proofread. How is the progress?"Can the price be quoted?

Proofing is fast.Lao Zhang said haha, it’s just that the price you mentioned, I’m afraid there is no way to do it——
Luo Bin interrupted Boss Zhang and said, "Old Zhang, let me tell you again, you must get the samples out this week."

Boss Zhang complained again on the phone, saying, Brother Luo, you know, in fact, our factory does not have the production capacity of corrugated paper now, and we have to find outsourced manufacturers for these things, so there is no advantage in terms of time and price. .

The boss said, no matter what method you use, the price can only be the price I gave you, and this time you don't even think about adding a penny.If you can't do it, there will naturally be manufacturers who can do it.Then don't say that I didn't help you.

When he hung up the phone, Boss Zhang was also stricken. He said fiercely, "Damn it, this old bastard, is he thinking of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge now?"It's not that easy to kick me away.

He opened the drawer at the bottom of the desk, and there was another USB flash drive and file bag inside. These were the financial evidence and audio recordings of his contacts with Luo Bin in the past few years.The corner of his mouth turned up into a smile, and he closed the drawer again.

Who is it, who is accusing me behind my back this time?In his mind, Luo Bin filtered through the possible informants one by one, and slowly concentrated his suspicions on a few people in the warehouse.

Luo Bin thought to himself, if these packaging boxes are not the salesmen of the manufacturer, then they may only be the personnel of the warehouse.Only they will know such details.But he still has a question. Logically speaking, how can the people in the warehouse know the company's auxiliary materials and purchase prices so clearly?
He wrote down all the names of the four people in the warehouse on a piece of paper, and then weighed and compared them one by one in his heart, and slowly crossed out the names of the other three people one by one. In the end, only Zhu Wei was left. Cheng, Lao Zhu's name.

Nine times out of ten, it should be this old Zhu who is doing something.Luo Bin thought to himself, logically speaking, this old Zhu has been in the company for several years, because everyone is from Fengxian, and I don't seem to have any big conflicts with him.But, besides him, who else could there be?

correct.I'd better go to Mr. Lin to find out the situation first, and see if he has received similar letters?Let's see Mr. Lin's attitude.Having made up his mind, Luo Bin took the speech outline from the group meeting of the Material Purchasing Department that he had prepared long ago, and walked towards Mr. Lin's office proudly.

Mr. Lin's reaction was as usual.After listening to Manager Luo’s work report, he said with a smile, Xiao Luo, regarding the affairs of your department, I will still say the same thing, and the employer will not doubt it. I still believe in you how to cooperate with the company’s unified deployment this time, and how to operate it specifically. , as long as it's not a major matter related to the company, you can let it go.

Luo Bin felt relieved a little at this time, and thought to himself, judging by Mr. Lin's attitude, the company's leadership probably didn't know about this matter, maybe he was overthinking.If so, there is room for maneuver.After the meeting is over, I must go to Mr. Zhang at night to remind the key relations again, and take a look at the progress of the proofing by the way.

The afternoon department meeting will be held as usual.The difference is that the big boss of the company participated in this small meeting, but he had something to say first, and he just came down today to understand the situation, so he only listened and did not express any opinions on how to hold the departmental meeting or how to hold it.

What Manager Luo said in this departmental meeting was impassioned and sound.The meaning of the center is to resolutely implement the spirit of the company's morning meeting, and resolutely support the company's authority and decision-making arrangements.

It's just that when it comes to how to implement it, the last thing that has something to do with Lao Zhu is actually one more employee in his warehouse department.

Manager Luo also reserved his hand and did not announce the list of layoffs on the spot, saying that he would wait until tomorrow to talk with each other before making the final decision.Luo Bin's real thoughts, hehe, I just want to see who is targeting me in this report and exposure letter, I will definitely let him jump out by himself.

After Manager Luo announced his decision, there was no sound in the small conference room.Because it concerns everyone's own tangible interests, no one is willing to stand up and speak out on their own initiative.

In order to adjust the atmosphere, Vice President Lin touched his nose and smiled and said, what do you think of Manager Luo's decision?Or do you have any other thoughts in your heart?Everyone can discuss it together. The boss is here today, so everyone can speak their minds.

Still no one spoke.At this time, Vice President Lin couldn't stay still anymore, and said, since everyone didn't take the initiative to speak up, then I will call the roll call, and tell everyone what I really think.Manager Luo, right?
Manager Luo nodded, smiled awkwardly, that's natural, of course we welcome everyone to have an equal dialogue.

Vice President Lin pointed to Zhu Weicheng, and said, Lao Zhu, you have a relatively long service life, and you are an old employee, so you should take the lead and speak first.

Lao Zhu looked at the boss, then at Mr. Lin and Manager Luo, smiled slightly, and said, then I'll just say it?That's right, there were five employees in our warehouse, and one was cut just before the Chinese New Year, leaving only four of us.

He went on to say, I think everyone should be aware of the workload in our warehouse. With one person missing, the four of us are busy enough now.Just now, Manager Luo said that another employee was going to be reduced. I don't know, what is the basis for Manager Luo's layoff?
Luo Bin's face suddenly looked very unhappy, but it was not easy to get angry on the spot, so he could only say in a dark tone, Zhu Weicheng, you are an old employee, you shouldn't talk like this logically, and you don't care about the overall situation.But since you asked this question, I will answer you, it is very simple, that is, according to the requirements of the company, our department should achieve the cost reduction goal of about 20.00%.

Since you said that, Manager Luo, then I would like to ask, is there only one way to reduce staff for our warehouse? Didn’t the company say in the morning that there is also a way to increase efficiency, such as procurement costs and other aspects?Lao Zhu then asked.

Lao Zhu, you should be quite aware of this cost.All the company's purchases, including the possible cost savings, have been compressed to the point where we can no longer compress them. After all, we must leave room for suppliers. We can't suppress them too hard, or where can we find suppliers.

Manager Luo said, so now we have only one way to seek benefits from the inside, and work hard on personnel adjustment and optimization.To be honest, I am also very sad that your warehouse has laid off employees.But now the company is in such a situation, and I have no choice but to do it. Please understand the company and my difficulties.

Lao Zhu said again, Manager Luo, you mean that there is no room for the purchase price of the raw materials and auxiliary materials purchased by our company. Is this how you understand it?
