1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 329: Something to Request (2)

As the brain organization of the Qilu Oilfield, the command center began to massively cut and merge functional departments after abolishing the production campaign system and changing its name to the Qilu Petroleum Administration Bureau, and the intensity of the move was not small.

But even so, in addition to the nine first-class core departments including the Comprehensive Management Department where Mu Siyuan works, and the Party Committee Inspection Office where Song Wenxuan's father works, there are three independently operated agency units, 9 institutions that share offices with the corresponding agency departments of the branch and agency units... a total of 3 agency departments.

This is just the department directly under the command.

At the branch level, even if the headquarters has formulated an organizational streamlining plan, each company still retains 23 headquarters departments and subordinate units, as well as 36 subordinate units.

Don’t forget that Qilu Oilfield currently has more than 20 second-level branches. After comprehensive calculation, the number of government agencies at all levels in Qilu Oilfield still exceeds thousands.

As production units, the status of many second-level branches in the Qilu Petroleum System is not as high as that of Drilling Company No. 1 in the Southwest Petroleum Administration, but it is not much lower... and most of the leaders in the command center were promoted from these second-level branches.

Therefore, one can imagine how numerous and complex the issues are involving the various hills, large and small.

In fact, just like the mentality shown by the leaders of various departments of Drilling Company No. 1 at the "spoils division meeting" before the New Year, when the document requiring the increase of per capita efficiency was officially issued, seeing that reducing staff and increasing efficiency was inevitable, the most important thing for the command center and most of the leaders of the second-level branches was not how to quickly improve the real per capita efficiency, but... how to maintain their own foundation in this surging tide that could not be disobeyed.

Therefore, the "tertiary industry project diversion plan" proposed by Mu Siyuan and others was so easily passed, and the 1 billion yuan of special funds was so easily approved.

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

As if Song Wenxuan didn't see the knife and fork on the table, he pressed hard with his chopsticks, cut the dried prawns on the plate into five pieces, and then elegantly put the prawn tails into his mouth: "So... do you know what the problem is now?"

Yang Mo looked at Miss Mu, who took his plate and carefully cut the wild prawn, which was longer than her palm, into small pieces because she was worried that she wouldn't know how to use the knife and fork. He smiled and said, "I think I understand... Dahua Company hasn't made any serious moves for more than a month, so they are worried!"

The logic behind this is actually not difficult to understand.

As the saying goes, "too much concern leads to confusion." How quickly Dahua Asset Management can achieve results, and how big the results can be, is directly related to whether a group of people can maintain their foundation, and whether many people can get more cake in the "redistribution"... What's more, there are some people who actually don't want to see them achieve results.

In this situation where one step forward is heaven and one step back is hell, they can't help but be nervous.

It just so happened that Dahua Company, which was once highly anticipated, had been listed for more than a month, but had not done anything serious. Not only had it not provided guidance for the operation of various tertiary industry projects, but Yang Mo, the de facto operator, was even deliberately preventing others from intervening in this matter. This inevitably caused others to have wild thoughts.

It just so happened that Yang Mo did not do any real work, but the funds on the books of Dahua Asset Company kept flowing out. In just over a month, he had spent a total of 1.3 million yuan in contract funds on a series of inexplicable actions, including the construction of the "Dahua Industrial Park Commercial Demonstration Zone" and the investment in hundreds of specialty shops in the industrial park.

Seeing that the funds on the books of the idle Dahua Company had suddenly dropped by nearly 1/10, those people gradually lost confidence in Yang Mo and naturally thought about how to recover their losses.

But don't forget, even Mu Siyuan was worried about whether Yang Mo could handle such a big plate, but he was forced by the situation and had no choice but to bet on him in order to get a chance of success.

Even Mu Siyuan is like this, let alone others.

Once everyone began to lose confidence in Yang Mo, the disadvantages of this "joint operation" became apparent.

Everyone wants to become the new boss, take control of the nearly 12 billion yuan remaining in Dahua's account, and then operate according to their own ideas... Even if their abilities are limited and they cannot solve the problem of relocating hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of laid-off workers this year, at least it would be great if they could stop the losses to the greatest extent possible.

However, this so-called "stop loss" depends on the actual situation.

If Dahua Company is doing well in the hands of these hundreds of highly regarded elites, then of course, we will treat all of them equally. After creating new jobs, we will give priority to taking care of each small group and make sure to preserve the foundation of your career... As for those employees who are not in this camp, I'm sorry, we have limited abilities and you can only wish for good luck!

But if the newly created positions are not enough to benefit everyone, then I'm sorry. I would rather die than let my friend die, so I naturally have to "sacrifice the pawn to save the driver"... Even if we have a falling out with each other, we have to protect our own foundation first, right?

Don't think this is impossible. Although Mu Siyuan is the initiator, his status among these people is not the highest, and his contribution is not the greatest. As long as everyone loses confidence in him, denying his right to speak will only take a small meeting.

………………

Hearing Yang Mo directly point out the core of the problem, Song Wenxuan laughed: "I'm glad that Minister Yang can understand."

As he spoke, Song Wenxuan had an inexplicable smile on his face: "The leaders of the command center are basically not good at business, and they can't see the intention of your previous actions, Minister Yang. It's actually normal."

"In their view, since Minister Yang used to rely on his golden fingers to help Drilling Company One create batches of jobs through a series of amazing projects such as the Mo Mo Bai Fried and Mo Mo Bai Fried Chickens and the 817 Broiler Chicken Breeding Center, and helped your company completely solve the employment problems of employees' families, then you should do the same after you come to Dahua Company."

"So, when they saw that you had never selected any tertiary industry projects under Dongying to support and guide their operations, they were disappointed and began to have wild thoughts, which was normal."

At this point, Song Wenxuan shrugged his shoulders, with a hint of sarcasm on his handsome face: "So some people can't sit still, and they plan to use the dissatisfaction of the employees as an entry point, and plan to get rid of you at the right time, and then redistribute the operating rights of Dahua Company."

With an inexplicable smile, Song Wenxuan glanced at Miss Mu who handed a plate of more than ten pieces of shrimp to Yang Mo, and his eyes flickered: "There is no way, we are a central enterprise, and once a problem like this involving the opinions of all employees is put on the table, it will be a sure kill... Although this method is a bit taboo, it is very useful. Once it is used, even if Uncle Mu wants to help you get away with it, it will not work at all."

Yang Mo savored Song Wenxuan's tone and suddenly laughed: "Oh? The leaders of the headquarters couldn't see the purpose of my previous actions... Director Song, did you see the clues?"

Seeing that Yang Mo avoided talking about his clown role in helping him out of a disaster, and looked like he didn't appreciate it, Song Wenxuan didn't seem to care. He just smiled and said, "I forgot to tell Minister Yang that I'm in the UK, studying business... and I graduated successfully from Henley Business School."

Henley Business School?
Yang Mo was really surprised.

When people in later generations discuss economics or other business majors such as finance, they will always mention famous universities such as Harvard and Cambridge. However, few people know that in Europe and the United States, there is another university whose status is no less than that of Harvard and Cambridge, and its graduates are even more popular.

That is... University of Reading.

To be precise... Henley Business School at the University of Reading.

This business school is well-known in the European and American business circles. It is the earliest established business school in the UK and the first to obtain triple accreditation.

The reason why the University of Reading in later generations was known as one of the seven great universities in the field of business along with Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London and other six universities, was entirely due to their merger with Henley Business School... The strength of Henley Business School can be seen from this.

But after being surprised, Yang Mo quickly calmed down. Although Henley Business School is known as the best business school in Europe, their business school has the same characteristics as that of the UK and is well-known for its finance-related majors.

Although finance is also an important part of the business field, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the operation of physical business, but there is also a difference between a turtle and a tortoise. Therefore, after Yang Mo heard that this guy had successfully graduated from Henry Business School, he just smiled at the reserved Song Wenxuan and said, "Oh?"

Seeing Yang Mo's expression, Song Wenxuan frowned slightly, but when he remembered that the country knew very little about foreign countries and Yang Mo might have never heard of the name of Henry Business School, he felt relieved and sighed softly: "The leaders of the headquarters still have the same understanding of business as they did more than ten or twenty years ago. Some people still hold the idea that good wine needs no bush, and think that as long as the product and management are good, the tertiary industry project will naturally be profitable;"

“Others, even after reviewing more than ten years of continuous failures, may be inspired by your achievements last year and their thinking may be relaxed, but they still only focus on the project itself and stay at the level of seeing the pieces and hitting the pieces.”

At this point, Song Wenxuan leaned back slightly, his expression indescribably reserved: "If the scale of the tertiary industry project is only the same as that of the drilling company, then this idea of ​​hitting the big one is correct. Concentrating most of the resources, relying on one or two star projects to cover up the flaws, and solving the employment problems of the company's employees' families through the rapid increase of new jobs has been proven to be an effective strategy."

"But there are hundreds of tertiary industry units under the Dongying Command, many of which are of considerable size. It is completely unrealistic to adopt this strategy... Creating a star project requires huge financial resources and energy, and the right time, right place and right people are all essential. It is time-consuming and may not succeed... Even if Minister Yang is very capable, how many nails can he hammer out?"

"Therefore, facing so many tertiary industry units and such a difficult task this year, the only way to revitalize these tertiary industry projects is to build a platform that can interact with the market in both directions... On the one hand, the market itself will put forward demands, and on the other hand, through Dahua's unique system position, it will force subordinate tertiary industry units to improve their processes according to market demand and produce corresponding products on this two-way platform!"

Song Wenxuan habitually intervened, and looked at Yang Mo with a complicated expression: "In fact, Minister Yang had already proposed this work direction at the meeting on the second day of the company's listing, but this platform model has never appeared in China, and most people don't understand the power of this model, so they just think Minister Yang is speaking some official jargon;"

"But in fact, Minister Yang has already done this before, and the effect was very good. Now it is just a change of form and is being used again."

Song Wenxuan shook his head gently and sighed: "Last year, Linyi County's achievements in solving the triangular debt problem of local enterprises amazed even the competent authorities from other provinces. The reason why the special working group was able to solve the triangular debt problem so quickly was that the debt replacement model designed by Minister Yang was actually the key among the keys."

"Although this model is difficult to replicate, or unwilling to replicate, in many areas due to the various subtle connections in the middle, and after the special working group withdrew, the subsequent debt swap model of Linyi County also became unsustainable, but in itself, this is not a crime of war. This model has no problems and has been proven to work."

At this point, Song Wenxuan glanced at Mu Liya who was listening attentively, and smiled: "Outsiders always focus on the word [replacement], but in fact, in my opinion, breaking through the information gap between enterprises and the market, and using external forces to achieve a two-way rush between them, is the most critical part of this model... Otherwise, even if all kinds of conveniences are provided, no one will be willing to buy a lot of products that they don't use or don't like."

"And if my guess is correct, the reason why Minister Yang invested a huge amount of money and ordered the workers to work in three shifts to build the Dahua Industrial Park Commercial Demonstration Zone is actually to change the soup but not the medicine. He just wants to build a platform that can bridge the information gap between enterprises and the market."

"Of course, the commercial demonstration area is only part of the platform... I once sent people to investigate. After the satellite enterprises newly established by Xialiu Marketing Agency, the Fifth Farm and other units signed cooperation agreements with Dahua, they immediately went to various places and began to persuade some tertiary industry units and some rural areas to start two-way docking in their own way."

"It is obvious that these satellite units with good mass relations are the most critical invisible components of this platform... and in the past half month, more than 40 tertiary industry units have gradually achieved profitability without taking into account historical debts. Although the current profit amount is not high, it also proves that this model can work."

"But unfortunately, as the saying goes, one leaf can block the view. Most people are more concerned about whether they can achieve results quickly and whether they can show their presence in front of their leaders... So there are some things that I can see, but others may not be able to see."

Yang Mo looked at Song Wenxuan in front of him with some surprise. He didn't expect that this guy could actually see what he wanted to do.

That's right, he never thought about working hard to support those tertiary industry projects one by one, nor was he stupid enough to be like a nanny and do everything himself. Relying on the strong resource mobilization capabilities of state-owned enterprises and the convenience brought by the high administrative level of the command center, it is the most effective and convenient way to build a two-way communication platform.

Although some tertiary industry units are bound to fail in the subsequent market competition due to rigid thinking or management problems...

But who cares? You know, this is not the era of fierce commercial competition. Although the domestic economy has entered a cold winter since last year, it is still an incremental market in essence. As long as about 1/3 of the tertiary industry projects or enough new cooperation projects can get on track, relying on the dividends of the times to develop rapidly and solve the diversion problem of those laid-off workers, it is actually enough!

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

Yang Mo, whose plan was seen through, gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "Director Song is indeed worthy of being a graduate of Henry Business School. His business vision is indeed broad enough!"

After praising him, he looked at Song Wenxuan with a half-smile: "But I am a little curious... since you have seen my plan, it is a very simple thing to carry out the work you want to do through procedural justice. With your ability and family background, why would you ask me for anything?"

As he spoke, Yang Mo lazily stuffed a piece of chopped shrimp into his mouth: "If you are afraid that I will interfere, Director Song doesn't have to do that."

"You may not have worked with me before, so you don't know much... Although I, Yang, am not a good person, I always stick to my guns when it comes to serious matters. As long as the project you submit does not violate the company's established strategy and is feasible, I will definitely not block it and not approve it!"

Song Wenxuan shook his head: "If that's all, then I wouldn't ask for it."

After a moment of hesitation, this handsome guy who looks like he could be the center of a movie in the future became serious: "Yang Mo, I've said before that I'm asking for this, not because I want anything from you, but because we both need something."

"You may not understand some of the situations. Uncle Mu is now unable to control the situation, and the situation is somewhat passive. If this situation continues, you will definitely be replaced, and you will be replaced with a very dishonorable name."

Song Wenxuan's eyes were a little cold: "I know you had an agreement with Uncle Mu, and you regarded it as your greatest amulet, but you have to understand... this is only an agreement between you and Uncle Mu, not an agreement with everyone!"

Yang Mo frowned when he heard this. The meaning of Song Wenxuan's words seemed simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it contained extremely rich information.

Subconsciously glancing at Miss Mu, who also had a worried expression, Yang Mo put away the smile on his face and asked, "So?"

Song Wenxuan looked at him calmly: "I don't need to emphasize the sensitivity of the 1 billion funds on Dahua's books. What kind of results Dahua can achieve this year is far more complicated than you think... and according to my father's inference, if Dahua still doesn't make any progress within this month, Uncle Mu will be completely overwhelmed."

"However, unfortunately, I checked the construction plan and progress of your commercial demonstration area. It is impossible to complete the construction by the end of this month, let alone officially put it into operation... You should know that even if you speed up the completion of the relevant infrastructure work, it will still take at least half a month to prepare and coordinate other work before it can be officially put into operation."

"By the time your commercial demonstration zone is operational, the flowers will be cold!"

Yang Mo's expression remained unchanged: "So?"

Song Wenxuan took a deep breath and said, "So I need you to help me. Before things get out of hand, transfer the right to use at least 3 million yuan of funds to me in the form of project approval!"

Three hundred million! ?

Yang Mo frowned deeply, this was indeed not a small amount of money. The use of funds exceeding 10 million needed to be explained at the board meeting, and large projects exceeding 50 million needed a vote by the board of directors. Even when Yang Mo was highly expected by everyone, it took a lot of effort to approve the project of that commercial demonstration zone and transfer the right to use 300 million yuan of funds... How could this be so easy!
Seeing this, Song Wenxuan patiently explained: "I know this is troublesome, especially when the leaders above start to distrust you, it is even more troublesome... But no matter how troublesome it is, we have to do it!"

At this point, Song Wenxuan looked at him seriously: "Admittedly, I don't deny that I have selfish motives... I want to make some achievements, and I am confident that I can make some achievements... You should know that in a family like ours, we all prosper together and suffer together. After I have made achievements, my parents and those uncles and aunts will have more weight and more say... Unlike ordinary families, we are not only competing with our parents, but also with our children... Only those families that are considered to be able to move up in the next 20 years are considered to be truly influential!"

"But all of this requires a platform... I have both the platform and the ability. The only thing I lack is the start-up capital that will allow me to fully demonstrate my abilities!"

After revealing his ambition without any concealment, Song Wenxuan glanced at Mu Liya who remained silent all the time: "But more importantly, I am saving you, Xiaoya and Uncle Mu!"

"When the projects submitted by other departments are constantly rejected by you, only if you continue to review my projects and transfer the right to use funds to me, others will think that our Song family has completely stood on Uncle Mu's side. Only then will you suppress those who have other ideas and smoothly delay the time until your commercial demonstration area can really play a role."

Looking at Yang Mo sincerely, Song Wenxuan's eyes were full of confidence: "Yang Mo, believe me, unless there is no other way out, no one is willing to offend the head of the Party Committee Inspection Office when there is still a glimmer of hope!"

"What you don't know is that, unlike others, my father holds a neutral attitude towards the establishment of Dahua Company, and his involvement in this project is mostly a task assigned by the headquarters' Party Committee Office as usual... It is precisely because of this that once you frequently transfer the right to use funds to me and cause them to misunderstand, they will definitely not make any moves without thoroughly understanding the situation!"

Party Committee Inspection Office?
One of Dongying’s nine core departments?

Yang Mo took a deep look at the handsome guy...How many evil spirits are there in this Dahua Company?

To be honest, no matter how serious this guy made the situation sound, he didn't take it seriously.

Firstly, his personnel file is kept by the drilling company. No matter how many tricks Dongying has, they can only remove him from the positions of vice president and director of the business audit department. They can't even remove him from Dahua Company... Dahua Company is a joint venture of two units, and the drilling company holds a considerable number of shares in it. The two units belong to different camps. No matter how powerful Dongying is, you can't use the drilling company in this regard.

Secondly, he would not be afraid even if Dongying removed him from his post and demoted him to a sinecure. Whether it was the satellite companies or the commercial demonstration zone project, the contracts had actually been signed and even approved by the entire board of directors. Even if someone became a new operator, it would be impossible to breach the contract.

It just so happens that the real business involved in that most important commercial demonstration zone is dispersed among those satellite companies. Therefore, as long as the infrastructure work is completed, whether you like it or not, it will operate on its own according to Yang Mo's original design.

However, what is even more terrible is that Dahua Company cannot really intervene in these tasks later. This commercial demonstration zone is just a physical hub. The invisible hub that really guarantees the smooth implementation of the plan is controlled by Xialiu Marketing Agency and Qingfeng Food... Yang Mo's idea is to connect the BC information, coordinate in the middle, and build a business ecology and industrial ecology. Not to mention that this is something that can be done just by spending money, people will not really listen to your orders just because you have the words "state-owned enterprise" on your head.

Therefore, unless someone dares to break the contract and cancel the construction of this commercial demonstration zone at the risk of great disapproval, it does not matter whether Yang Mo will be fired or not, and it does not matter whether he loses the operational leadership and financial control... For the construction of an ecosystem based on the JIT model, Yang Mo's desire for funds is not strong at all except for the initial infrastructure costs.

Besides, even if other plans require funds, do you really think Yang Mo can't raise the money and has to rely on the tens of billions in Dahua Company's account?
What a joke!
Don’t forget, he still has the trump card of more than 500 franchisees in his hand!

Many of these franchisees are white gloves. With Mr. Yang's impressive past record, do you think the money he can raise will be small if he just raises his arm?
and so……

Yang Mo looked lazily at the handsome guy in front of him who had a confident look on his face, but his tone was full of gossip: "Why?"

This question is actually asking, it is obvious that your Song family intervened in this project of Dahua Company with a neutral attitude, so why would you take a considerable risk and stand on Mu Siyuan's side?

On the way here, he heard from Miss Mu that although the Mu and Song families had a very good relationship in the past, after their attempts to match their children together failed and Miss Mu came to the drilling company, a crack appeared in the relationship between the two families and they began to become estranged.

Seeing that Yang Mo didn't care about the business at all, but was very interested in these gossips, Song Wenxuan was stunned.

Looking at Miss Mu who was sitting quietly on the side and never said a word even when it came to her father, as if everything depended on this man, Song Wenxuan gave a bitter smile.

"The reason is actually not difficult to understand."

Song Wenxuan, who couldn't see through Yang Mo's bottom line, felt a little disappointed. He looked at Mu Liya and smiled slightly: "Although the matter between me and Xiaoya has made both parents very embarrassed, and it seems that we are drifting apart from each other, we all know that the Song and Mu families are natural allies, and even have a relationship of rising and falling together... No matter how bad the relationship is, no matter which family is in big trouble, the other family will definitely help with all its strength."

Yang Mo was confused and didn't quite understand what this guy was saying.

Miss Mu hesitated when she saw this, then she moved slightly closer to Yang Mo and explained in a low voice: "Qilu is not like the four southwestern provinces, nor are they like those border provinces. Therefore, although families like our Mu family and Song family have some care, there are also many restrictions. Therefore, once there is a problem between us, we must help each other... Don't forget, Brother Song and I are both Hui people."

Yang Mo suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this.

Thinking of the enthusiasm shown by the stall owners in the Old Muslim Street today after Miss Mu greeted them with special words, I couldn't help but sigh... So that's how it is.

Miss Mu, who had been observing Yang Mo's expression, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, like an ordinary traditional Hui woman, she obediently refilled Yang Mo's cup of tea and carefully lowered her voice: "So I said before, I hope you can talk to Brother Song for my sake... I always treat him as my brother, so things are not what you think."

"If our family and Brother Song's family don't look out for each other, we will be despised... I know you will definitely not make things difficult for my father, and I am confident that you will not make things difficult for my father... In fact, I believe my father thinks the same way, otherwise he would have called you a long time ago."

"But now Brother Song finally has a platform to showcase his abilities, but he has no funds to display his talents; so... Yang Mo, can you help Brother Song?"

Yang Mo pondered for a moment. As a Qilu native, and a reborn person who knew a lot about the future, he naturally knew that Miss Mu did not lie to him... Being both Hui people and from such a family, the Song and Mu families were indeed innate allies, and this alliance was much more solid than outsiders thought.

In fact, the fact that the Song family wanted to help Mu Siyuan at great risk without knowing Yang Mo's specific plan at all, already explains a lot.

and so……

Yang Mo smiled and glanced at Miss Mu who looked anxious, then glanced at Song Wenxuan who looked a little puzzled, and finally touched his chin: "Okay, for Yaer's sake, I can let you go."

"Since Director Song has studied at Henley Business School, he must have majored in finance... That's right. It is said that with the support from above, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is expected to be listed this year. It is reasonable for Director Song to seek to make some achievements in this area."

"It's only 300 million. It's indeed a bit too much. And given the current situation in our country, it doesn't cost that much to push a company to go public. How about this..."

Song Wenxuan didn't hear a word of what Yang Mo said next, he just looked at him in horror.

He, he, how did he know that I was planning to start with this! ?

Moreover, matters concerning the Shanghai Stock Exchange are still confidential. How did he know that it would be listed this year?

Song Wenxuan stared at Yang Mo as if he had seen a ghost, his mind going blank...
