1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 237 An abrupt turn

Outsiders had no idea what Mu Siyuan, Wang Yinuo, and Feng Yuan talked about at the private dinner that night; the only thing we knew was that the dinner lasted a long time and was not concluded until after 11 o'clock in the evening.

As a result, the drilling company, which was already in a treacherous situation, was dropped with several depth charges that were enough to cause huge waves in just three days.

First, Wang Yinuo. At the company's high-level meeting on Monday, the company's top leader first praised one of his old rivals for his high standing and recent achievements. Then, he used his authority to take the lead in launching an initiative to nominate Vice President Feng as the next executive vice president, and said that he would write a letter to the organization to apply for his transfer to the organization department and concurrently serve as the next head of the organization department.

This proposal is quite shocking. After all, the position of executive vice president is the second-in-command in the company's business management, and the organization department is a well-known top department. Both of them are key positions. However, due to the particularity of the organization department, there has never been a precedent of intervening in the daily management of the company, let alone the executive vice president serving as the head of the organization department.

But the problem is, as mentioned before, as an isolated southwestern unit, the operating rules of the drilling company over the past decade have been quite different from those of other units. Not only do only three of the four teams have the powers they deserve, but a series of "inside departments" that should have been awe-inspiring are actually not much different from ordinary departments... There is no way. The drilling company is too independent, and in a complex living environment, the business department has much more say than those sister units.

In addition, this year both Wang Yinuo and Feng Yuan have made some big moves that are enough to scare people, so for the long-term stability of these projects, it makes sense to break the convention and propose that the next executive vice president serve as the head of the organization department... These days, reforms are being explored everywhere, and as a central enterprise, it is perfectly legitimate to break the convention and try a new model in the management structure.

It can be said that if the organization really expresses that it will consider Wang Yinuo's application, and Feng Yuan can successfully become the next executive vice president with the votes in the general election, then he will be the first second-in-command who can truly and effectively restrain the general manager since the establishment of the drilling company... In a sense, this is equivalent to adding a new secretary, and this new secretary will have a stronger presence than the original one. However, Feng Yuan is originally the vice president in charge of relations between workers and peasants, so this change is still acceptable.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows what this huge pie that Wang Yinuo threw out means... I can fight for you, Feng Yuan, for this honor that belongs only to you and the tremendous power for the next five years, but as a price, you have to withdraw from this competition.

Vice President Feng did not show any objection and readily expressed his acceptance of Wang Yinuo's proposal and his willingness to do his best to become the next executive vice president.

Although this overt practice seems to have a certain connotation of private dealings, there is no way around it; this is the current situation of the drilling company... As I said before, a unit that is fighting alone in a faraway place will always have more privileges than other companies in this regard.

Moreover, any discerning person could see that there was a deputy leader mediating this matter. Since the departure of either Wang Yinuo or Feng Yuan after the competition would cause unpredictable chain reactions in the projects they led, the other executives had to accept it even if they were dissatisfied due to the reality.

Thus, the ring competition that had been going on for more than half a year ended peacefully in a strange way.

In the eyes of outsiders, the old-fashioned tactic of "raising bandits to protect oneself" was clearly played out by these two people.

………………

After accepting the olive branch thrown by Wang Yinuo in public, Vice President Feng was also very tactful and immediately returned the favor.

After first talking at length about the various wonderful uses of Momobaitou in his overall plan and the core hub status it played, he changed the subject and proposed that this department, which was valued by everyone but still somewhat underestimated, be separated out and then directly managed by the company.

Of course, since it is a directly-administered department, Momo Baitou, which was barely at the stock level, is obviously not a match. Therefore, Feng Yuan proposed to upgrade Momo Baitou to a full-level department.

Not only Wang Yinuo, but also most of the other senior executives were satisfied with Feng Yuan's initiative. After all, after this period of tossing, everyone could see the value of Momobaitou. Although they might not be able to get a share of this directly responsible department after it was upgraded and directly under the company, it was still better than letting Feng Yuan run it alone.

So, after everyone voted to pass this proposal in the shortest possible time, Wang Yinuo waved his hand and decided that since it had been decided to make Momo Baitou a direct subsidiary of the company, it should look like a regular department... In view of the fact that Momo Baitou's current funding pool has dried up, he decided that, after obtaining the approval of all members of the special working group, the 5 million yuan originally planned for the construction of the petrochemical industrial park should be injected into Momo Baitou's account to allow it to play its true role.

When this decision came out, all the executives were shocked.

5 billion! ?
This is probably the largest capital injection since the drilling company was founded.

Don't talk about the special working group. At present, the debt replacement work in Linyi County is booming. After the hundreds of local units have solved the problem of commodity circulation, coupled with the successive restructuring and business integration, the remaining triangular debt problem is being eliminated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not to mention the competent authorities of Linyi County, even a number of banking systems, including the Bank of China, hoped that Wang Yinuo would never invest the 5 million yuan, so that they would have the opportunity to put their own fortunes into it and add a heavy stroke to their book of merit.

Although the petrochemical industrial park project also involves many causes and effects, it is mainly based on local enterprises, and the project was suspended for more than half a month;
In this case, with the support of the banking system and local authorities, would the special working group disagree with Wang Yinuo withdrawing the 5 million yuan?

Stop it!
At this point, if they still can't see that this is just a stunt played by the two of them, then these decades have been wasted!
Although they were upset that they were fooled by these two again, they were more puzzled by...

It seems that Wang Yinuo does not intend to directly take over Mo Mo Bai Tou, the popular new company?

You know, Feng Yuan’s painful lessons from the past few months are still there. A department specializing in investment is a double-edged sword and is very difficult to handle.

If it was just an investment of 5 or million, they could still understand it, but if million really was invested, no matter how arrogant Wang Yinuo was, he would not be able to put Momobaitou directly under the name of his general manager's office!
Since Wang Yinuo couldn't have been directly involved, this department would most likely be a regular department that was newly introduced to the public...

Everyone immediately understood the key point and turned their attention to a corner of the meeting room.

And there, a deputy section director who had been successfully converted to a full-time position in the General Office and was barely qualified to attend this level of meeting, sat there quietly...

........................

"Eh?? I'm going to be revived soon?"

In the director's office of the General Office, Yang Mo, who was enjoying himself by making tea and drinking it, looked at the fat man in front of him who was breathing rapidly with a look of surprise.

If he hadn't known that this guy had no problem with his sexual orientation, he would have subconsciously covered his anus and ran out of the office.

Zhang Wenshun calmed down his excitement, put the bag back on the desk, looked at Yang Mo with a complicated expression, and then nodded heavily: "That's right, kid, if I'm not mistaken, in a week at most, your wish of three ups and downs will be fulfilled!"

More than a week has passed since Yang Mo was “discharged from hospital”;

During this week or so, not only did Wang Yinuo always have an attitude of accepting but not using Yang Mo, but there was also no sign of any further contact from Vice President Feng.

Faced with this kind of obvious cold storage, Zhang Wenshun has already made plans for his father and son to sit on the bench for the first half of the year. Even Bai Mengmeng's father has dissuaded them two or three times, suggesting that the other party should not rush to prepare for the match and wait until the ring competition is officially over.

But he didn't expect that the situation would change so drastically in just a few days.

5 million yuan of investment...

God have mercy on us, this amount of funds is already beyond what a department should have... No, let alone 5 million, even 5000 million is already beyond what a department should have.

The most crucial thing is that since Momobaitou itself is an investment department, once it becomes a full-level department, Wang Yinuo is the only one in the company who has the power of supervision and veto. Even the Finance Department, the "Money Boss", only has the power of auditing at most.

Well, if Feng Yuan can successfully become the next executive vice president, he will also have supervisory power as the head of the organization department. But apart from these two people, no one else can make decisions about Momo Baitou, not even the finance department.

This kind of authority, coupled with the control of up to 5 million yuan in funds...

It can be said that, purely in terms of the right to control funds, even the Asset Management Department, which is regarded as a core department and has partial credit authorization, is not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of the Momo Baitou, a full-time department that is about to emerge!

Ah……

Although no one knows why Wang Yinuo suddenly gave up the industrial park project regardless of the many subsequent troubles, with such a terrifying amount of money injected into it, there is no other candidate to consider for the position of the top leader of Mo Mo Baitou except Yang Mo!
Tsk tsk~
The head of a department at the section level should at least be a cadre at the section level.

This guy has only been in the unit for a short time, and he has already become a section-level cadre, half a level higher than me... Who the hell could have imagined this? It's totally out of common sense!

Zhang Wenshun never worried about whether Yang Mo would encounter procedural problems after his two job title jumps within a year. With 5 million yuan in funds at hand, there would be no problem in promoting him on the spot... In other words, Mo Mo Bai Tou was only a section-level department. If the level was higher, it would be easy to promote Yang Mo to a deputy division-level cadre on the spot.

………………

ten minutes later.

After listening to what happened at the company's high-level meeting this morning, Yang Mo took great pains to close his open mouth.

When Yang Mo heard Mu Siyuan bring Vice President Feng to a private dinner at Wang Yinuo's house last night, he had some vague guesses.

But he really didn't expect that Mu Siyuan, an outsider, would have such a great influence. Not only did he mediate the matter, but he was also able to persuade Wang Yinuo to inject the 500 million yuan into Momo Baitou.

You know, it can be seen from the last conversation with Wang Yinuo that the two of them had considerable differences; and even if Wang Yinuo no longer promotes the industrial park project due to risk considerations, he can use the 500 million yuan as a favor and distribute it to aid investment projects in various parts of the southwest. There is no need to inject it all into the Momo Baitou account.

That old man is definitely not just a deputy leader!
Yang Mo quickly went over in his mind all the actions that Miss Mu had taken since she joined the company, and this idea popped up in his mind.

But no matter what, this was great news for him. He patted Zhang Wenshun on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, I appreciate your words. Following your old colleagues, we can really call each other brothers in the future... But when you, a deputy section chief, meet a section chief like me, shouldn't you call me leader?"

When Zhang Wenshun saw this, his forehead darkened.

As a veteran, he had to watch helplessly as his former subordinates became his nominal leaders. This was the topic that this bastard liked to use to disgust him the most recently.

Now this guy is actually making fun of me by saying that I might be promoted to a regular officer soon...

Ask for a beating!

Zhang Wenshun glared at the disrespectful bastard fiercely, then slapped away the thieving hand that was reaching for his pocket, and then turned around and covered the half pack of Da Chongjiu in his pocket tightly with his hand.

But despite the fuss, Zhang Wenshun had to admit that Yang Mo's situation was different from those of his former colleagues and subordinates. This kid had jumped two levels like a rocket in just one year and successfully crossed the hurdle of becoming a regular section chief, which meant a qualitative change. Although there were various reasons behind this, it really had little to do with him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenshun, who was somewhat discouraged, stood up and walked to his desk, saying unhappily, "You will soon be a section-level leader. What's the matter with you always taking advantage of my Da Chongjiu?"

Bending over and rummaging around in the drawer, a fat man who looked like Maitreya Buddha said with emotion, "Hey, a 24-year-old section-level cadre with real power, holding the power to control 500 million yuan in funds... I guess everyone would be shocked if they told others about it, right?"

As he spoke, Zhang Wenshun threw a pack of cigarettes over: "Well, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, so I am here to flatter you in advance... I will smoke this today to celebrate with you, you bastard!"

Yang Mo took the box of cigarettes and looked at it, and was immediately surprised: "Blue Panda?"

At that time, cigarettes in China were divided into three grades: A, B and C. Not to mention the low-end C-grade cigarettes represented by the Hezuo brand, various famous brands of cigarettes such as Da Chongjiu, which are familiar to everyone in later generations, actually belong to the B-grade cigarettes.

But unlike the numerous brands of Class B cigarettes, China's Class A cigarettes are actually very few. The most well-known ones to the public are Huazi and Panda... These two types of cigarettes can probably be regarded as synonymous with special-purpose cigarettes.

It is different from Huazi, which actually has certain popular attributes, and different from the yellow box Panda cigarettes whose formula was changed in later generations;
This blue box Panda, which is of superior quality and taste, is a truly scarce product and a special-purpose cigarette in the purest sense. It is a rare thing that is exclusively supplied to the central government and state guests and cannot be bought even if you have money. And for most section-level cadres, getting a purchasing quota for this thing is undoubtedly a dream.

There is no way. Unlike the various gimmicks of later generations that are used to sell dog meat under the guise of selling mutton, the raw materials of this thing are too precious and too scarce at the moment.

Looking at the two cute national treasures on the cigarette box and the laser watermark that read "Pandas are rare treasures, and this cigarette is the best", Yang Mo did not rush to open the cigarette box to taste it. Instead, he looked at him with a wary look on his face: "Director, what are you planning to do?"

Seeing him like this, Zhang Wenshun chuckled and said, "I'm not planning on doing anything, I just want to celebrate for you... Qian Ya's dad sent two packs of Panda cigarettes over a while ago, but I couldn't bear to smoke this pack, so I'll give it to you at a bargain price."

Hearing these meaningful words, Yang Mo's eyebrows twitched.

Was it sent by the father of my little apprentice?

Does his father have the index of Panda cigarettes?
No, that's not right. His father's level is not enough to have the quota for this stuff. And if he had the quota, he would definitely not send only two packs. He is not a shabby person.

Since there is unlikely to be an indicator for this thing...

So the leader gave him a pack of cigarettes and he shared them out?
Tsk tsk~
It seems that his father is highly expected!
This is not just a cigarette, it is clearly the appreciation and attention from the leader!

After realizing this, Yang Mo gently put down the blue box panda in his hand, and then looked at the fat man with a playful expression.

Zhang Wenshun saw this, without any embarrassment, and chuckled twice: "I smoked two of these cigarettes, and I have to say, the taste is indeed different from the Da Chongjiu;"

"Come to think of it, Qian Ya has been with you for almost three months. Since you didn't chase her back, it means that this girl is at least not that bad to you... How about finding an opportunity to let her pass on the apprentice tea?"

"Now that we have a legitimate relationship, we can now smoke Old White's cigarettes openly, right?"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Wenshun narrowed his eyes and smiled, and in a rather obscene manner, he pushed the box of Blue Panda toward Yang Mo...
