1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 314 King’s Landing
Whether they like it or not, when they officially went to work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Mo and Miss Mu finally met Mr. Wang.

I have to say, if no one specifically introduced him, it would be hard to imagine that this was the head of a second-level unit, and you would never be able to tell that he was a deputy-department-level cadre of a central enterprise.

Mr. Wang is not tall, about 1.65 meters, with a lean body and a pair of rough hands with bulging veins. He looks no different from the bangbang that can be seen everywhere in Chongqing.

What made Miss Mu very uncomfortable was that this old Mr. Wang was neither as elegant and easy-going as Wang Yinuo, nor as majestic as her father;
Although his eyes are bright and lively, his dark face full of wrinkles makes him look like an ordinary old farmer who is honest and simple.

This kind of person who doesn't even have aura...

Can they really suppress the powerful soldiers of the drilling company?
This was the doubt that subconsciously came to Miss Mu's mind when she saw Mr. Wang for the first time.

But soon, as the company's first mid- and senior-level meeting was held after the spring, Miss Mu realized her mistake.

As the founder of Drilling Company 1, Wang Xingmin seemed to have an innate bloodline of suppression over the company's middle and senior leaders.

Whether it’s Vice President Feng, who has gained a lot of power and is very impressive in front of others;
Still in charge of production tasks, Deputy General Manager Tian, ​​who always looks casual and indifferent;
Or maybe Vice President Tang, who has stepped down from the position of Executive Vice President to be in charge of logistics, still likes to look down on others;
In front of Mr. Wang, they were all trembling like a group of obedient primary school students, not even daring to breathe.

Nearly ten years later, when Mr. Wang returned again, he seemed completely unaware that the company had changed. After a few brief opening remarks, he slammed the table and started roaring.

………………

"Look at what a mess the company has become in just a few years... Tian Waer!"

As if he had returned to the days of the battle, Wang Xingmin slammed the teacup on the table and jumped up. His voice, which was completely inconsistent with his body shape, sounded like a tiger's roar.

"exist!"

Upon hearing his nickname, Vice President Tian, ​​who was the first to be called by his old leader, shuddered and stood up quickly. His face was full of fear and there was no trace of his former majesty.

瞅了田副总一眼，王兴民啪的一下将一份资料摔在了桌子上：“1987年钻井深度15万米；1988年钻井深度20万米……到了1989年，钻井深度还是20万米……公司连续两年原地踏步就够扯的了；”

"As a result, this year, the company's drilling target is only 17 meters... Tian Waer, what are you thinking about!"

"Do you still want to do this, kid? If you don't want to, get out of here! I'll replace you with someone who's brave enough to fight!"

Everyone knows why Mr. Wang got angry.

As the main business of a drilling company, the drilling depth directly determines the company's revenue and its weight in the eyes of superiors. Not only has the drilling depth remained unchanged for two consecutive years, but the production task set this year has also dropped significantly. It is nonsense to say that there is no impact on the company.

Vice President Tian explained with a bitter face: "Boss Wang, this year's production target was set last year when Wang... Wang Yinuo was still here, and everyone thinks there is nothing wrong with this target."

He originally wanted to say that this indicator was approved by Mr. Wang, but before he finished speaking, he realized that his old leader's surname was also Wang, but he didn't want to use the title "Little Mr. Wang", so he just used Wang Yinuo's full name;

However, the voice of the last sentence became smaller and smaller, just like a student who was trying to make excuses with an intention.

Wang Xingmin was furious and slammed the table again: "What do you mean you think there is no problem? There is a huge problem! By setting such a production target, are you trying to tell others that the drilling company is no longer viable, or are you trying to tell the department that the Drilling Company 1 is a fucking abscess!?"

Vice President Tian looked at the people around him for help, and found that almost everyone was evasive, and many of them just hung their heads like quails. He could only explain in a low voice with a bitter face: "Boss Wang, it's not that we are willing to reduce the drilling quota... but we really have no choice!"

"Dongying has now cancelled the production campaign system, and the bonus has shrunk a lot. If the drilling target is set too high, the cost and effect will be completely disproportionate. At that time, the company's actual revenue will not increase because of drilling more wells, but will become even more bleak due to the excessive expenditure of various expenses... The company's operation and the living expenses of employees and their families are fixed. If the company's actual revenue drops too much, it will be in trouble."

At this point, Vice President Tian swallowed his saliva and looked at his old leader cautiously: "In fact, the drilling target of 17 meters is an indicator set to ensure the basic workload of each well team and the income of the drillers... If we only consider the actual revenue balance, it should be set at 15 meters."

In the silent conference room, Wang Xingmin squinted his eyes and stared at Vice President Tian for a long time. Until this old subordinate began to fidget, he snorted coldly: "Efficiency? Revenue balance?"

"Hmph... I'll fuck your Immortal Board's revenue balance!"

Wang Xingmin roared and threw the documents in his hand at Vice President Tian. His angry voice rang out among the papers: "Well, now you only care about the money on the books, right?!"

"You can deal with it this year, you can deal with it next year, but what about the year after? It's getting worse every year, and the targets you report are lower every year. Who will approve targets for you in the future? How will the drilling company survive? ... You are all born in the Year of the Rat, and you only care about the present, right? "

As he spoke, Wang Xingmin stood up and walked around the podium like an angry tiger. His eyes were filled with anger and none of the dozens of people in the audience dared to look up.

After knocking heavily on the table several times, the pioneer's voice sounded like he wanted to kill someone: "What did I tell you before... The more difficult the time, the more opportunities we have!"

"The drilling company is facing the problem of reduced bonuses. Is it possible that the bonuses of dozens of secondary production units in Dongying will not be reduced?"

"It's hard for us to support this family with our income this year, but isn't it hard for the second-level unit in Dongying?"

"You have to understand clearly that the reform in the ministry this time requires each unit to improve its per capita efficiency. The target is stuck there. Dongying should either reduce staff and increase efficiency, or improve its professional quality!"

"We have been fighting over there for more than ten years. Don't you know the situation of those bastards?"

"Humph~ Tell them to improve their professionalism... It's not that I look down on them, but they are all like dung beetles, they only move when you poke them, what the hell!"

Wang Xingmin cursed without any leadership style, and said with a sneer: "So, reducing staff and increasing efficiency is the only way for them to go;"

"But you have to understand clearly what the department's requirements are. No matter how many employees you cut, you must complete this year's production target... Even if you can make some concessions, it can't be too far off!"

"Then the question is, in order to meet the per capita efficiency target, Dongying will definitely have to lay off a lot of people...but the production tasks are still there, and it is basically impossible to complete them after layoffs...so what should we do!?"

Vice President Tian, ​​who had not dared to sit down before the old leader spoke, came to his senses: "Boss Wang, do you mean... we can take over the tasks that they can't complete?"

Wang Xingmin glanced at him sideways and snorted, "Tian Wa'er, you're finally not that stupid... That's what I mean!"

He punched the table again, and the nearly sixty-year-old Mr. Wang said in a voice like a bell: "Drilling Company 1 has nothing but one thing... The kids in the company are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and they dare to fight and work hard!"

"We dare to do the work that Dongying can't do! We dare to take on the tasks that Dongying's group of idiots can't complete... In order to complete the production tasks assigned by the department, even if they are reluctant, they have to give us part of the tasks!"

At this point, Mr. Wang looked a little arrogant: "You don't have to worry about Dongying being embarrassed. At most, I'll go to Dongying... If they dare to make excuses, I'll just turn their tables over on the spot and see who is more indecisive!!" "Humph, once the task comes, the kids below don't have to worry about being laid off! Even if the bonus is half of what it used to be, as long as we grit our teeth and hold on for two to three years at most, I'd like to see who will beg who by then!"

The logic here is actually not difficult to understand. As long as Drilling Company One gets enough production indicators and grabs a sufficient proportion of production share in the next two years, then after a few years, as one party gains while the other loses, Dongying will have to beg Drilling Company One to help them complete the production tasks of the department.

By then, not only will the bonuses be recalculated, but the drilling company may also be able to gain new fat in other areas.

Don't think this is impossible. The work efficiency of the drilling workers in Qilu Oilfield is lower than that of the Drilling Company No. 1 from the southwest. The gap is even more obvious in terms of flexibility of mind and courage to fight.

Think about it, on one side, people are constantly summarizing, making progress, and improving their business capabilities, while on the other side, they are standing still like an old ox pulling a broken cart, and in addition to large-scale layoffs, a large number of production indicators have been eaten up... After two or three years, the huge gap that has formed is enough that even a fool would know what to choose.

In fact, Wang Yinuo, Deputy General Manager Tian and others had thought about this before, but even with Mu Siyuan as an ally, Wang Yinuo still did not have enough weight in the Dongying Command. To negotiate on issues related to the jobs of his subordinates, he would only bring humiliation to himself and would not gain anything else, so the idea was suppressed as soon as it came up.

But Lao Wang is different. Not only is his administrative level much higher than Wang Yinuo's, but as a star figure in the development campaign, he has a lot of experience and can slam the table and spit at the headquarters while demanding targets, and no one dares to get angry.
The veterans who had participated in the development campaign at the beginning have either been promoted into the ministry or transferred to other regions to take charge of administrative work; so in the Dongying Command Center today, those who have a higher rank than him are not as senior as him; and those who have the same seniority as him do not have a higher administrative level than him.

Even if there were one or two veterans with the same seniority and administrative level as him occasionally… come on, Wang Xingmin was a top-notch star in the development campaign, and he had a very bad temper. It was lucky that people of the same level in Dongying had not been kicked by him. Who had not been spitted in the face by him? Who dared to confront this pioneer?
Even if someone really has the courage to confront him...

As for Wang Yinuo's sudden transfer, anyone with a brain could see that there was something fishy about Mr. Wang's return...and who would be stupid enough to confront him?
Therefore, as long as Mr. Wang is willing to risk his reputation and make a big fuss in Dongying to get more production targets for Drilling Company No. 1, it will basically be a done deal.

After realizing this, everyone present at the meeting became excited all of a sudden.

If possible, who among these department heads of the production units would be willing to let the company's main business shrink?
The path pointed out by Wang Xingmin not only preserved their foundation as much as possible, but more importantly...

Looking at the domineering appearance of this old leader, they seemed to have returned to the glorious days of the past.

TNND, the old leader is the old leader, much tougher than that guy Wang Yinuo!

Although this old leader has a lot of bad habits and a very bad temper, he kicks and scolds people at every turn.

But you have to admit that following him, not only is it like finding a backbone, but it also allows you to stand up straight when facing the people in Dongying.

The people who had been increasingly at odds with Dongying in recent years felt refreshed, and even many who had previously complained about the old leader forgot all their previous complaints.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it!
As if they had regained their original identities as soldiers, everyone in the room felt their blood gradually boiling again...

………………

"Cough cough~"

Seeing the atmosphere in the conference room becoming increasingly manic, Vice President Feng coughed twice, then swallowed under Wang Xingmin's sharp gaze.

"Well, Mr. Wang, although your instructions are indeed far-sighted and have lit a bright light for the future development of the company, but..."

Feng Yuan managed a smile with difficulty: "But if we get more production targets, it means that the company's production costs will increase significantly in the next two years... Whether it's the purchase of drilling consumables, the introduction of advanced production equipment, the exploration and experimentation of new drilling technologies, or even the compensation and support for injured drillers, these are all huge expenses!"

"The company has limited funds on its books now. After deducting normal operating expenses and welfare benefits for the office and family quarters, there is really not much money left. At that time...how can we solve this money problem?"

Wang Xingmin looked at Feng Yuan, whose forehead was covered with sweat, but he did not get angry, nor did he roar like an old lion. He just nodded slightly: "What Xiao Feng said is indeed a problem... In fact, it is not only these places that need money. If we want to smoothly switch between offense and defense in the next two or three years, the company must start to reserve talents from this year... Each drilling team needs to expand its manpower and gradually bring out at least 30 to 40 elite teams that can be used right away; and the technical and management departments such as the engineering brigade, geological brigade, mud station and dispatching room also need to introduce more high-quality talents to cope with the increasingly heavy production tasks in the future."

At this point, Wang Xingmin's burning eyes swept through the eyes in the conference room that gradually changed from astonishment to surprise: "This is all money, and it is a considerable amount of money. With the limited funds left in the company, it is definitely not enough to meet these needs."

After a slight pause, the extremely overbearing Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "But I don't think there's any need to worry too much about this. Although the company doesn't have much money on its books, didn't it launch several tertiary industry projects with very good benefits last year?"

"If it really doesn't work, we can make some sacrifices... After all, drilling production is the foundation of the company. If the main business can't be improved, what's the point of doing well in the tertiary industry?... Without the company's support, no matter how much money you make, it will only be a gift to others!"

As he spoke, Wang Xingmin glanced at a figure on the far right of the first row of the audience and suddenly laughed, "But I think we shouldn't think too much about it for now. Xiao Yang of Mo Mo Bai Tou is now well-known. Even Dongying is willing to invest 1 billion yuan in him and jointly set up a new company with us to revitalize the tertiary industry business on both sides... Dongying is not very good at its job, but its vision for people is still good. I believe that with Xiao Yang here, even if we don't sacrifice those tertiary industry projects, the company's funds this year should not be a problem."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room froze.

Yang Mo, who was sitting in his seat with a smile on his face like a clay figure, couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Is this a threat... or is it just someone trying to hit me in the side?
Yang Mo glanced at the fat guy sitting in the back row and frowned subconsciously.

Although Mr. Wang appears to be a bad-tempered and rough guy, he knows very well that this is just an illusion.

The reason why this pioneer acted so domineering right from the start was certainly to establish his authority over his former subordinates, but more importantly, he used a familiar style to reassure them.

Humans are creatures that are afraid of change. Reappearing in front of the attendees in a familiar manner can effectively lower their defensive psychology, thereby solidifying their thinking inertia and, in a sense, playing a certain role in stabilizing the morale of the troops.
On the other hand, when Mr. Wang rudely and overbearingly expressed his intention to snatch the quota from Dongying, he was reasserting his presence and establishing his position as the backbone... The drilling company is facing huge challenges this year, and the people in the company are already in a panic, otherwise they would not have been so accommodating to a newcomer like himself again and again during the spoils-dividing meeting last year; and in this situation, Mr. Wang's reckless attitude of "I'm the boss, and you can do it if you don't agree" can undoubtedly calm people's hearts, and then after experiencing the previous PUA, they subconsciously regard themselves as the little soldier they used to be, and quickly move closer to Mr. Wang with him as the center.

It is obvious that Mr. Wang, who returned a few years earlier than the original historical trajectory, had someone guiding him behind the scenes.

He had also seen Mr. Wang in his previous life. Although he also had a very aggressive attitude, that was a pure reckless demeanor. The degree to which he spoke and handled things was incomparable to today.

Who is the person behind the scenes helping Mr. Wang to come up with ideas?

you still need to ask?

When Mr. Wang returned in his previous life, a certain director had already been transferred to another unit.

Moreover, if the previous means of calming people's hearts could be considered extraordinary...

In the end, he suddenly seemed to be in a righteous and unrighteous position. That couldn't have been the founder's own idea.

He remembered clearly that in his previous life, after Mr. Wang returned, the situation of the drilling company was much worse than it is now. But even so, the first thing Mr. Wang did was to let all employees subscribe to shares and work together to overcome the difficulties.
Think about it, the other party would rather let those contract workers subscribe to the shares of the drilling company than disband those tertiary industry projects that have no benefits at all, nor lay off the contract workers under those tertiary industry projects; how could they now plan to sacrifice a series of highly profitable tertiary industry projects such as Momo Baizha?
Ah……

Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, this is so unkind!
Thinking of this, Yang Mo glanced at Director Zhang who was sitting in the back row like a good student, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...
