1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 321 Listing
As a newcomer transferred from the headquarters, although the 46-year-old Ding Xiang was just a small director in the business management department before, none of the cadres who can be promoted to the department level are real fools...even if he got this department level title more by relying on his seniority.

Therefore, even though he was very unhappy about the headquarters arranging for him to parachute in and be a clay Buddha, and he had a natural aversion and rejection towards Yang Mo, a young man with only a section-level professional title, he was not stupid enough to really show off his power to him right from the start.

So, as soon as he moved into the new office, he asked someone to call Yang Mo over, although it was more of a way to slightly show his presence, hinting that although he, a general manager at the department level, was just a clay figure, he was two levels higher than you after all, and there were some rules that you should abide by;

But when he actually met Yang Mo, his tone and demeanor suddenly became friendly, and there was no airs of a leader in his words at all, as if it was just a normal chat between new team members who met for the first time.

Therefore, this first meeting, which seemed to be extremely harmonious at first glance, ended happily with witty remarks and mutual flattery.

Yang Mo, who seemed like a junior student, did not behave as rebellious as some small circles said, and Ding Xiang, who was humorous, seemed to have completely forgotten that he was a department-level leader who was two levels higher than the other.

Of course, this is just a surface phenomenon. Only God knows what the two of them are thinking in their hearts.

………………

At noon the next day, with the crackling of twelve firecrackers and the sound of gongs and waist drums, the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was not particularly grand but had nothing to do with simplicity, ended.

With a wooden sign, which was of an ordinary shape at the time, being hung upright on the wall to the left of the gate, the new asset company was officially established.

Although the iron gate painted in rusty red and the white brick wall next to it look extremely low-class, the office area covering more than ten acres inside also gives people an inexplicable sense of desolation because it is all ordinary brick and tile bungalows;
But as long as you know a little bit, when you see the twelve dark red characters "Qilu Dahua Asset Management Co., Ltd." on the white vertical plaque at the door and the army green figure in the spoon pavilion at the door, you will know that this newly established company is definitely not simple... Although the dark red color is not as majestic and inviolable as the vermilion color, it is definitely not something that small fish and shrimps can easily approach.

………………

Now that it has been registered, according to the procedures, the newly established Dahua Asset Management Company should hold its first general staff meeting.

So the newly built small auditorium was packed with 724 elites drawn from various units.

In an occasion like this, Ding Xiang, who was sent from Dongying to "take charge of the work", naturally had no choice but to take the responsibility and sit in the center of the rostrum.

However, it is different from the usual general staff meeting. Since it is a new company and it is the first meeting, the main content of today's meeting is to let all employees understand the company's organizational framework and get to know the main leaders of each department.

Similar to the structure of asset management companies in later generations, the main institutions of Dahua Asset Management Company are composed of two major sections: the board of directors and the board of supervisors.

The Supervisory Committee is an independent first-level institution. In addition to the eleven members of the Supervisory Committee, it has only two functional departments directly under it: the Discipline Inspection Department and the Audit Department.
There are more first-level institutions on the board of directors, namely the Board of Directors' Audit Committee, the Board of Directors' Related Party Transactions Committee, the Board of Directors' Risk Management Committee... Like the Supervisory Board, these three committees are composed of General Manager Ding Xiang and five deputy general managers including Yang Mo, as well as heads of some core departments.

However, in addition to these "discrete" first-level institutions, there are many operating functional departments under the board of directors, as many as fourteen:

1. The nature of the Board of Directors Office is similar to that of the General Manager's Office. It is a comprehensive coordination department, which includes the Party Committee Office, the Party Committee Propaganda Section, the Party Committee Organization Section, the Association Office... Its director is Song Wenxuan, who was sent from Dongying and is at the section level.

2. Planning and Finance Department, the director is Ma Bin (deputy general manager) who was sent from Dongying and is at the section level.

3. Business Review Department: Yang Mo will concurrently serve as the director, who is at the section level.

4. Risk Management Department: Mu Liya will concurrently serve as the director (deputy general manager), at the level of a section chief.

5. Special Asset Investment Department, the director is Wang Jing, who was sent from Dongying and is at the section level.

6. The director of the Asset Preservation Department is Lin Luosu, who is at the deputy section level.

7. The director of the Asset Preservation Department II is Li Ming, who was transferred from the drilling company and is at the deputy section level.

8. The director of the Capital Market Department is Wang Xiaoguang, who was sent from Dongying and is at the deputy section level.

9. Innovation and Investment Department, the director is Zhang Qin, who was sent from Dongying and is at the deputy section level.

10. Legal and Compliance Department: Zhuo Mali, who was sent from Dongying, will concurrently serve as the director (deputy general manager), at the section level.

11~14 are Business Operation Department , , , ... Among these four business operation departments, except for Department whose director is Zhang Bo who was transferred from the drilling company, the other three departments were all dispatched from Dongying; and due to the importance of the business operation department, except for Zhang Bo, the others are all at the section level.

To be honest, the organizational structure and main cadre composition of Dahua Asset Management Company have already taken great care of Yang Mo.

After all, apart from the general manager Ding Xiang, the rest were all section-level and deputy section-level officials. Even the Supervisory Board and the Audit Department did not send a deputy division-level cadre.
This means that as long as Ding Xiang, the man who pulls the strings, doesn't lose his mind, even if Yang Mo doesn't need to make a special call to the headquarters, he can still pass most of the company's resolutions through procedural justice.

Don't forget, he is the vice president in charge of business management. The business review department itself can also directly veto or approve any project. But the director of the risk management department is Miss Mu... Therefore, unless he violates financial regulations and runs into the gun of the audit department and the discipline inspection department, or the other vice presidents join hands to oppose it, he can smoothly promote any decision on business management.

Of course, although from a procedural point of view, there is not much objective difficulty for him to implement his ideas in business decision-making, it is no longer possible for him to follow his words as he did in the drilling company.

the reason is simple……

In a new company like Dahua with a huge amount of funds, even if there is an agreement with Mu Siyuan and others, the necessary procedures still need to be followed;

Therefore, whenever he wants to push forward any major decision, he must make relevant explanations at the meeting!

So, the next day after the company was officially listed, he had to face this situation that made him extremely annoyed.

………………

"Okay, my speech has ended. Now, please invite Vice President Yang, who is in charge of business management, to talk to you about his thoughts on the company's business direction and work plan this year... Let's applaud and welcome him!"

After speaking official language for half an hour, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of Dahua Asset Management and the arduousness of this year's work, Ding Xiang smiled and gave the stage to Yang Mo, and then was the first to applaud.

Looking at the dozens of faces with different expressions below, and the applause that seemed warm but was not enthusiastic, Yang Mo, who was always smiling, glanced at Ding Xiang calmly.

For issues like the company's business direction, it should be reported by him, the general manager, in person at this mid-level and senior management meeting. Yang Mo, the deputy general manager, could only "supplement" it. After all, as the "top leader" who "presides over the work", even such a topic related to the general direction has to be reported by him. Not only does it make Ding Xiang appear completely irresponsible, it is also like putting him on the grill... The actual situation is one thing, and the face is another. People in the oil system in Qilu are extremely disgusted with the word "overstepping".

In fact, after the general staff meeting yesterday, Yang Mo took the initiative to find Ding Xiang and "exchanged" with him about the company's business direction this year and the first quarter investment plan. Even if this top leader may not remember or understand some key work nodes due to his lack of investment experience, it is no problem for him to talk about the general direction;

After announcing the general direction and the rough framework of the first quarter's work, mention Yang Mo's name and ask the vice president in charge of the company's operations to make some supplementary remarks. This will be a natural thing to do... Ding Xiang gets the face, and Yang Mo gets the inside benefits. It's a perfect cooperation.

But Ding Xiang not only directly handed the matter over to Yang Mo, he also changed "Deputy General Manager Yang who is in charge of the company's operations and management" to "Deputy General Manager Yang who is responsible for operations and management". Don't underestimate the difference of only one word, the meaning is very different.

MD!

Where on earth did Mu Siyuan find this kind of person?!

Or……

This guy is actually not the candidate designated by Mu Siyuan?
As Yang Mo picked up the microphone, his mind was racing.

The capital injected from Dongying is as much as one billion yuan, and the source is very sensitive. Such a big thing cannot be handled by Mu Siyuan alone, so Mu Siyuan is the leader of this matter, but he may not be the one who contributes the most.

When there are many people, their ideas may not be unified. After Mu Siyuan made so many concessions to them, some people were unwilling to give in and had other ideas.

Besides, just like the previous Xintai Management Company, places like the business management department are the most mixed, so it is not surprising that Manager Ding of Dahua Asset Management Company was the candidate decided by Mu Siyuan after his compromise.

only,
This old comrade Mu Siyuan is quite unkind!

He clearly expected me to help him solve his worries, but he didn't reveal any information beforehand... Is this considered a test for me?
Yang Mo smiled indifferently.

These people have been in the system for too long, and it seems that they can no longer do anything other than these fancy tricks.

Do you really think that without vertical and horizontal cooperation, Dahua Asset Management Company's work cannot be carried out?
Do you really think I have to rely on and win over these so-called elites?

Ah……

A bunch of idiots who only know how to bully others in their own nest!

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

Patting the microphone, Yang Mo looked at the people in the audience with a smile.

"First of all, let me correct what Mr. Ding said... I am not the general manager in charge of overall business management. I am just a deputy general manager who is in charge of specific business operations according to the company's plan."

"Although I am very grateful to Mr. Ding for his appreciation and encouragement of a junior like me, let's be honest. Mr. Ding, you have the courage to delegate power to your subordinates, which is a blessing for all 724 employees of Dahua Company. However, I am weak and have no courage to take over this responsibility."

"But then again, Mr. Ding, you are our pillar after all, so don't always think about taking advantage of this~!"

Yang Mo spoke these words in a humorous tone, with a funny expression on his face and pleading looks towards Ding Xiang from time to time. People who didn't know the inside story would have thought that the two were as close as uncle and nephew, and were joking around on the stage.

Yang Mo's performance was very successful. Almost everyone who didn't know the inside story thought that the reason why Yang Mo was asked to express his opinion on such an important topic as the company's development direction right at the beginning was probably because Dahua Asset Management Company was a joint venture of two units, and the drilling company was the weaker party. Mr. Ding deliberately made concessions for the sake of company harmony.

As expected of a leader at the division level, he has a grand vision!
In my previous unit, where could I find such a leader who is tolerant, courageous enough to delegate power to subordinates, and willing to give them opportunities to perform in front of others?

Thinking of this, many people laughed with goodwill, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became much warmer.

Facing those pairs of eyes that were filled with admiration and a little expectation, Ding Xiang's smile, which had never changed, looked a little unnatural, and he glanced at Yang Mo calmly.

Damn, this is also a small fried dough stick!
After tapping the microphone and waiting for the venue to quiet down a bit, Yang Mo smiled and said, "But since you called my name, even though I know that this is President Ding's love and care, I can't disobey, right? Then... I will follow President Ding's instructions and share my views with everyone on the business direction of Dahua Asset Management Company this year."

After he mentioned Ding Xiang everywhere in his words and made those who didn't know the inside story think that he was just delivering a message to the general manager, Yang Mo's expression began to become serious.

“Dahua Asset Management is a new company, and it is a company with completely different nature and functions from the companies you have worked for before. Therefore, our corporate positioning, functional scope, and development direction are all very different from before.”

He tapped the table lightly out of habit: "I think everyone should know the original intention of establishing Dahua Asset Management Company."

"That's right. Our original intention was to focus on the tertiary industry projects. After the headquarters began to reduce staff and increase efficiency in accordance with the requirements of the department, we provided more positions to solve the problem of diversion of those unemployed workers!"

"Due to pressure from the department, the headquarters needs to reduce the number of employees this year, at least 30,000... This is a huge number, so huge that it makes people unable to sleep well!... Comrades, we at Dahua Asset Management Company have a heavy burden!"

At this point, Yang Mo looked at the solemn faces below the stage and suddenly smiled: "Although the headquarters needs to optimize a lot of employees this year, these 30,000 people will not be laid off all at once... After all, this is a big deal, and we have to do it step by step!"

"So, according to the document from the headquarters, the optimization will be officially started from February 2st."

"And please remember, the headquarters' strategy is [to optimize from small to large, batch by batch]... In other words, the scale will not be very large at the beginning, and it will not be a one-size-fits-all approach. It will not be optimized as a company or as a department. Instead, it will be optimized based on the assessment scores and on an individual basis!"

At this point, Yang Mo picked up the teacup on the podium and took a sip: "Do you know what this means... This means that before May, the number of employees who need to be transferred out will not be large, at most 5,000... Do you know what this means?"

While the executives in the audience were still looking at each other in bewilderment, Song Wenxuan, director of the board office, raised his hand and said, "Vice President Yang, please forgive me for being so presumptuous and get to the point as soon as possible... We know that this means the company still has a three-month buffer period, which also means that this is directly related to the company's business direction and business plan for this year... But the question now is, how should the company carry out its work?"

Looking at this young man who was only three years older than him and had a very outstanding appearance, Yang Mo glanced vaguely in the direction of Miss Mu's position, with the smile on his face unchanged.

Of course he knew that this handsome guy, who was not much different in age from him, was also a second-generation who was sent here for advanced training. He also knew that this guy was Miss Mu's childhood friend and had always been interested in Miss Mu. In fact, a big part of the reason why Miss Mu went to the drilling company was to avoid this guy.

But the problem is...

After all, you are now the vice president, and this is your first time speaking at a mid- to high-level meeting. Although he doesn't care, is it appropriate for you to scold me in front of so many people on this occasion?

Thinking of this, Yang Mo glanced at him with a half-smile, then glanced at the Eggplant Girl who had been sitting quietly in the row behind him... Look at her, she is also a second-generation who came here for further studies, but her performance is much better than yours.

However, as the vice president of Dahua Asset Management Company, even if Yang Mo is not very happy with this guy, he still has to maintain some decency in such an occasion.

He smiled and nodded: "Director Song is indeed a graduate of a prestigious university. He sees things very clearly...Yes, whether the window period left for us is prosperous or not is directly related to the work direction and plan of our Dahua Company this year."

When Song Wenxuan heard Yang Mo use words like "worthy of being a graduate from a prestigious university" to evaluate him, with an attitude of a leader evaluating a rookie new employee, a trace of deep displeasure suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Yang Mo ignored him and just said to himself: "On this point, President Ding and I have reached a consensus. If the window period left for Dahua is less than three months, then there is no way. The company's work direction this year must be to select potential projects from the existing tertiary industry units and focus on supporting them, so as to increase new positions as much as possible to divert batches of unemployed employees;"

"Although this is very tiring and involves huge risks, in order to relieve the pressure on the headquarters in a timely manner, we have no choice but to take this path of making up for our shortcomings with hard work."

At this point, Yang Mo turned his head to Ding Xiang with a smile: "But since the window period left for us is more than three months, and President Ding is confident that he can easily divert these 5,000 laid-off employees with the existing size, then there is no need for us to adopt the stupid method of countering each move as it comes."

As he spoke, Yang Mo turned his head and smiled warmly: "Boss Ding is a man with a big picture. As the pillar of Dahua Company, he doesn't want the company to walk a tightrope, nor does he want the company to become a disposable prop that will be disbanded on the spot after completing its basic mission;"

"As the saying goes, those who don't plan for the whole life are not worthy of planning for the short term. So, after listening carefully to my work report, President Ding gave instructions..."

After a pause, Yang Mo noticed that Ding Xiang's eyes were a little unnatural, but he never spoke to interrupt him. Then he smiled and said, "As a subsidiary of a central enterprise with a sense of social responsibility, Dahua Asset Management Company must closely unite the masses, give full play to its own financial and resource advantages, and try to build the company into a business and resource platform with openness, influence and control power. Relying on the power of the masses, while fully solving the diversion of the staff on standby at the headquarters, we will achieve a win-win situation with the masses!"

!!!

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

What does it take to build a company into a business and resource platform that is open, influential and regulatory?
Also, what the hell is this about closely uniting the masses and achieving a win-win situation with them?

Why can I understand each word individually, but not when they are put together?

………………

Amidst all the puzzled expressions, only the eggplant girl sitting in the second row covered her forehead in pain.

It's over,

This bastard is really going to do this.

According to that silly guy's guess, if the atmosphere in the new company was more harmonious and people from all departments were more cooperative, Yang Mo might not try to do anything fancy right from the start.

But now the situation...

Thinking of this, Lin Luosu looked at Song Wenxuan on the left side of the front row with displeasure, wishing she could smash a teacup on this guy's head.
