Revival Road

Chapter 62
At 4:30 on April 7, Li Zhibin handed over a cost analysis report on Donghu supporting products to Tao Tang who came back from the bathroom.

"Huh? Reported by the Finance Department?" Tao Tang looked at the cover of the analysis report. There was no official seal of the Finance Department, nor the signature of Finance Minister Li Jianguo, but Ming Xiaoyue was signed.Tao Tang had no impression of this name.

"It was given to me by Secretary Zhao."

"When?"

"Just now. You just went out."

Tao Tang, who entered the office on time at 07:30, has only gone to the bathroom so far.

Tao Tang was a little strange, but he still spent nearly half an hour browsing through the report, and then he called Li Jianguo.

"Director Li, you arranged this report, right? Why didn't you sign and stamp it?"

"That's it." Li Jianguo was a little unhappy, "Mr. Han arranged a special price analysis for Donghu Mining, of course the price department will do it. But they have reported it to you at the same time as they gave it to me. The procedures are different..."

"What is Comrade Ming Xiaoyue's job?"

"Chief of the price department." Li Jianhua swallowed, "I criticized her just now."

"Have you read the analysis?"

"not yet."

"Then take a look today. It's best not to make a judgment before reading it."

Li Jianguo criticized Ming Xiaoyue for violating procedures, but Tao Tang's attitude clearly expressed his support for this cost analysis.

After Li Jianguo went back, he locked the office door and refused to answer any unimportant calls. He "studied" Ming Xiaoyue's report as quickly as possible, and then he went to Han Zhiyong's office.

"Mr. Han, Ming Xiaoyue reported this material directly to Mr. Tao..."

"what material?"

"The price analysis of the East Lake collaboration pieces you arranged."

"What happened? I gave it to Mr. Tao without looking at it?" Han Zhiyong was unhappy, "Lao Li, are there any rules in the finance department?"

"I've criticized her, you know, this lesbian has always been very arrogant..."

"Mr. Tao has read it?" Han Zhiyong flipped through the analysis report.

"I should have read it. Mr. Tao seems to appreciate Ming Xiaoyue's analysis."

"It's nonsense! Only 44000 for the large frame of the four-type machine? Nonsense!" Han Zhiyong patted the materials and shouted, "50000 can't come down! This should be a matter of the cost department? Why did you give it to Ming Xiaoyue? You go and get Mr. Tao's share." Take it back and ask the cost department to make a new copy. Don't take a fucking rest, use the holiday to make a serious copy."

"Take it back?" Li Jianguo was embarrassed.

"Of course it has to be taken back. Are you trying to mislead Mr. Tao? Let me ask you, can the four-type large frame cost 44000 yuan?" Han Zhiyong stared at Li Jianguo closely.

Li Jianguo was in a dilemma.After Song Yue's downfall, Li Jianguo's situation was a bit like that of Liu Xinjun from the Ministry of Development and Regulations, which was quite uncomfortable.They are all confidantes of the former main leaders, but they are not supported by the leaders in charge.Song Yue was fine when he was in office, and there was a leader who supported them, so they don't need to care too much about the vice president in charge, but not now.Especially Li Jianguo, who always offended others, and became Han Zhiyong's scapegoat.

Of course, it is a normal situation for the officials to crush people to death at the first level, and it is another matter if they have a backer.Now Li Jianguo's backing has collapsed, but several section chiefs under him have their own skills, which makes it even more difficult for him to be the leader of this department.Let's just talk about Ming Xiaoyue, everyone knows that she is Secretary Zhao's person, and she was obviously instructed by Zhao Qingmin to do so.Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to confront Han Zhiyong if she had the courage.

This was all caused by Quan Jianhe's resignation. Several section chiefs were eyeing the vacated position of Quan Jianhe. He was fully aware that the section chiefs were about to move.Didn't he recommend Rong Shangming to Tao Tang in private?Without him, it is because Lao Rong is the section chief who supports his work the most.Shi Cheng, Ming Xiaoyue and others have made many troubles because of their respective backers, and they don't even bother to maintain the superficial respect for him, the deputy chief accountant and director.No, Ming Xiaoyue seized the opportunity and began to curry favor with the new leader, and it seemed that she had achieved her goal.

Li Jianguo used to have the backing of Song Yue and was strongly suppressed by Han Zhiyong, but now it is even more difficult to resist the orders of his immediate superiors. He bites the bullet and goes to Tao Tang's office again, but Tao Tang has a customer. Li Zhibin told him that there is a big customer in Beiyang. When visiting Mr. Tao, the implication was that he should not be disturbed. Li Jianguo happened to borrow the donkey from the slope, and he was afraid of the task Han Zhiyong gave him.

Li Jianguo returned to Building No. [-] and called Ming Xiaoyue over again, "Chief Ming, Mr. Han was very upset after reading your analysis, not only because of procedural problems, but also because of the outrageous data. Mr. Han wants me Take back the analysis given to Mr. Tao, so as not to mislead the leader. He has arranged for the department to do it again, you go and get your analysis back. This is a lesson, and you can’t do this in the future. Otherwise, I will be too passive.”

"Why should I withdraw the analysis?" Ming Xiaoyue didn't buy Li Jianguo's account, "Vice President Li, Secretary Zhao asked me to send the analysis report to President Tao. He asked me if I had finished the price analysis of Donghu Mining and whether it was still available." Said Mr. Tao is in a hurry. Fortunately, our department worked overtime continuously to make it work out. Otherwise, wouldn’t our finance department lose face with Mr. Tao? You said, can I not carry out Secretary Zhao’s order? This really answered that sentence , The more you work, the more unlucky you are! I don't think there is any error in the procedure. If it is not urgent for the big leader, can I report it over you? Is there such a precedent in the past? As for the data, I am fully responsible. Mr. Han is too bullying People, price accounting is the business of the price department, why should the cost department do it? Don’t believe me, you can get rid of me like Quan Jianhe. Don’t make things difficult, if Mr. Han loses his temper, let him come to me Alright. I made a procedural error when I reported the materials to Mr. Tao? What a strange thing!" After speaking, the charming female price chief walked away with her head held high.

Ming Xiaoyue raised the issue to the level of blocking Mr. Tao, leaving Li Jianguo speechless.He doesn't have the money to participate in the contest between the top leader and the chief accountant now.It is beneficial to Li Jianguo that Quan Jianhe's "accident" was exempted, because Quan Jianhe is the main pawn used by Han Zhiyong to restrain him, and he is the number one deputy director of the Finance Department.With Quan Jianhe down, Li Jianguo is expected to integrate internally and establish his own authority.Now he can't be suspected of being the one who blocked Tao Tang, otherwise he will be completely finished.

For the rest of the morning, Li Jianguo pondered the report and the trouble it had caused.Obviously, Secretary Zhao intervened in this matter, otherwise Ming Xiaoyue wouldn't be so hard-nosed.With Zhao Qingmin intervening, Han Zhiyong really couldn't get Ming Xiaoyue's procedural flaws.The key is to analyze the content of the report. Li Jianguo read through the 53-page report patiently, and found that Ming Xiaoyue basically overturned the original calculation of the finance department. Among the hundreds of products listed, the price is completely affordable. As high as 83%, 65% of the rest can be solved by strengthening cost control, and less than 6% of the products are unaffordable.

Product prices have always been a tool for Han Zhiyong and Li Luo to fight. The two sides blamed each other. The marketing said that the financial review ignored the market reality, and the finance said that the marketing only cared about the scale and ignored the cost.Marketing, on the other hand, said that cost control is the business of finance... Ming Xiaoyue's production of such a report is tantamount to slapping Han Zhiyong and Li Jianguo in the face.It is equivalent to saying that the original reason for refusing to sign the contract is untenable.However, the original price calculation was also done by Ming Xiaoyue's price department?This woman really has the potential to turn her hands into clouds and turn her hands into rain.

Li Jianguo had a premonition that a conflict was about to happen.

At 4:30 pm on April 02, in the large conference room in the recruiting institute where Tao Tang took office, Red Star Company held a meeting of middle-level cadres and above.Originally, Tao Tang did not intend to hold such a large-scale meeting, but Zhao Qingmin insisted on expanding the number of department-level cadres, thinking it was necessary.Zhao Qingmin said, everyone wants to hear what you have to say, but the transmission is unreliable, and there are many monks with crooked mouths, so it is better to hold a large-scale cadre meeting.In this way, the venue can only be arranged in the large meeting room in the Dazhaoyuan that can accommodate thousands of people.

The meeting was presided over by Guo Tao, the chairman of the board of supervisors. There were only two items on the agenda. Tao Tang made arrangements for production and operation, and Zhao Qingmin made arrangements for party building and publicity work.

Zhao Qingmin rushed to speak before Tao Tang, and Tao Tang gave Guo Tao the agenda for him to speak first.

"Let me talk first, and Mr. Tao will make the overall deployment in the end." Zhao Qingmin adjusted the position of the microphone, "Mr. Tao proposed to hold a meeting before the May Day holiday to unify the thinking. It is very necessary for me. , mainly talking about party building and propaganda..."

Zhao Qingmin's speech was very brief. After conveying and studying the recently issued relevant documents on party building and building a clean government, he put forward several specific requirements for party building work, but there was nothing new about it. Give full play to the vanguard and exemplary role of party members, focus on party building around the center of company management...

But for the propaganda, Zhao Qingmin criticized the Propaganda Department, "Mr. Tao talked to me about the propaganda work two days ago. Mr. Tao has a wide vision and a sharp eye, and the questions he asked hit the point. I reflected on it, and indeed, Our propaganda work really needs a change. TV stations and factory newspapers need to change, how to change? Mr. Tao pointed out that we must focus on the employees, especially the advanced elements among the front-line employees, so as to truly reflect the spirit of the working class. The status of the master is to really mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, especially the grassroots employees. Now our internal reports on leaders and meetings are too much, which is really not in line with the spirit of the superiors. The Propaganda Department should study this issue, and all branches should also study , really come to a big change in style..."

Zhao Qingmin's speech ended in less than [-] minutes. Guo Tao said: "Let us welcome Chairman and General Manager Tao Tang to give instructions with warm applause."

After the applause subsided, Tao Tang and others said: "Comrades, I originally wanted to hold a small-scale meeting, mainly to talk about production and management issues. The May [-]st holiday is here, and there will be a total of five days of rest. The time is not short. Some things need to be done during the holiday. Let me give you a briefing before. This holiday is not so easy. Some units need to work overtime, and the agencies have to seriously think about their work. But both Secretary Zhao and Chairman Guo feel that it is necessary to hold a larger meeting in order to unify their thinking. I Agreed. This is why this meeting was held. Just now Secretary Zhao talked about party building and publicity, and made arrangements, and I agree with them. Next, I will talk about three issues for everyone to study and think about.

Lu Qi, who was sitting in the front row, found that Tao Tang did not have a speech script.

"The first question is the business situation this year. Four months have passed. Compared with the plan at the beginning of the year, the completion of our main economic indicators is not ideal, or the start is poor. From January to April, the main business income was only Completed 1 billion, 4% of the annual target, 19.8 points behind the sequential progress. The profit is not good, as of now, according to the data of the financial bulletin, the loss of 16.5 million from January to April. And our annual profit target is to make a profit of 17 1 million. Others such as cost and expense ratio, occupation of two funds, labor productivity, and cash flow do not need to be counted one by one. The income indicator looks like this, and other indicators must be in a mess. Sales income is the foundation. We are such a big stall. The monthly salary is 4 million, the electricity bill is 5500-2 million, the loan of nearly 1.2 billion is on the head, and the monthly interest is more than 900 million... and our average monthly income for four months is only 1000 million. , The cost expense ratio is as high as 10%, how can we not lose money? The expenses can’t be taken away. Therefore, the current business situation is severe. The current main task is to grab orders, expand the market, and first increase the sales scale, otherwise other indicators There is no way to improve... the first four months have been like this. From May onwards, we must strengthen the seriousness of the plan, and strive to complete the quarterly plan. The monthly plan for five or six months, which the production department decomposes according to the quarterly plan, must be completed. We must try our best to regain as much time as possible, President Luo," Tao Tang turned to look at Chief Economist Luo Chong who was recording, "During the festival, please organize the relevant units to clarify the plan for the second quarter again and issue it in writing. And Strictly assess the completion status, and if you can't meet the target, you must give me an explanation. If you can't come up with a reason to convince me, I will come up with an opinion on how to deal with it!"

"Yes." Luo Chong replied.

"Second, I want to talk about the questionnaire. The first thing I did after I came here was to conduct a questionnaire. The purpose is very clear, just to understand the current thoughts of the employees. The paper has been collected, and I read the appointment. One quarter, I will read it in the future, I will read it all. My quarter involves all units, including employee hospitals, retirement management centers and property companies. I read everything except the cadres who asked for leave and are not in the factory. The papers have both mandatory answers and room for free play, which is to ask employees to say things that are not listed in the topic but want to say. I will not explain the purpose of this, everyone I understand. But don’t think that the company is going through the motions. First of all, I don’t have any intention of going through the motions. I’m going to solve all the common problems one by one. If the conditions are met, I will solve them immediately. If the conditions are not met, I will create conditions to solve them. One, I feel a little bit emotional, and I want to talk to everyone here."

Tao Tang took a sip of water, "First of all, the recovery of the test papers is uneven. The lowest recovery rate is only 55%. Is the secretary of the factory director of the seventh branch here? Stand up."

Zhang Quqiang, the director of the seventh branch factory, and Zhang Shouxin, the secretary, stood up, looking very abrupt in the huge meeting place.

"Tell me, why is the recovery rate of your branch factory only 55%?"

The two of them didn't expect the chairman to ask about this matter. After a while, Zhang Shouxin replied: "The branch factory has made arrangements, and a workshop director meeting was held. But some employees didn't hand it in..."

"It's already a fact that it hasn't been handed over, so you don't need to talk about it. What I want to ask is, have you noticed this phenomenon? If you noticed, what measures have you taken?"

Two Zhang muttered and couldn't speak.
