1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 334 Adjustment
The next day, Yang Mo, the vice president and director of the business audit department of Dahua Company, did not go to the commercial demonstration area, which was not fully repaired but was already beginning to become quite lively, for inspection as he had done every day in the past. Instead, he spent the entire afternoon on the phone in his office.

Even if you use your butt to think, you can guess who would be on the other end of the phone line if the call lasts for an entire afternoon.

So when Eggplant Girl returned to the company with two large signed contracts in high spirits, before she could show off her work efficiency to Yang Mo, she received a personnel adjustment notice from the board of directors.

………………

Yang Mo was dismissed from his position as Vice President, and Du Chuanming, Director of Business Operations Department 1, took over as Vice President;
Yang Mo was removed from the board of directors' member of the related-party transaction meeting, and Wang Tao, director of the second business operation department, was added as a new member;
Yang Mo was removed from the position of director of the Business Review Department and transferred to the position of deputy director of the Asset Preservation Department II; the position of director of the Business Review Department was taken over by Ye Yanhui, who was newly dispatched from the command center.

Mu Liya is removed from the position of director of the Risk Management Department and adjusted to deputy director of the Asset Preservation Department 1. The position of director of the Risk Management Department will be concurrently assumed by Zhuo Mali, director of the Legal and Compliance Department.

Retain the position of member of the Risk Management Committee of the Muriya Board of Directors and the position of member of the Related Party Transactions Committee of the Muriya Board of Directors.

This personnel adjustment was somewhat unexpected.

Firstly, the speed at which this personnel adjustment was issued was somewhat unexpected. Most people who knew some inside information guessed that this notice would come out sooner or later, but they did not expect it to come out so quickly.

Originally, judging from the situation in Dongying, even if they wanted to take action against Yang Mo, they would at least have to completely unify the front and suppress Mu Siyuan thoroughly... According to their estimates, this would not be possible until at least early April, but now it is only mid-to-late March, which is half a month ahead of schedule.

Secondly, the magnitude of this personnel adjustment was somewhat unexpected.

It was originally thought that Yang Mo would be demoted to the lowest position and then sent to a place like the logistics department or the administrative department to be frozen, but Dongying only adjusted him to the deputy director of the Asset Preservation Department 2.

Although the Asset Preservation Department II is currently just an idle department with nothing to do, and it is humiliating to let Yang Mo be the deputy of Li Ming, the subordinate, the Asset Preservation Department II is a real department after all. Letting him be the deputy director of the Asset Preservation Department II is equivalent to giving him the entire department in his hands.

In addition, everyone was also somewhat surprised by Miss Mu’s personnel transfer.

Logically speaking, as the leader who promoted the establishment of Dahua Company, even if Mu Siyuan was squeezed out, the Dongying group should at least give him some minimum respect.

It is understandable to remove Mu Liya from her position as vice president, but not only was she removed from her position as director of the risk management department, she was not transferred to a position of equal weight. Instead, she was made deputy director of the asset preservation department. This was a bit too much.

In comparison, retaining this young lady's identity as a member of the Risk Management Committee and the Related Transactions Committee is more out of sympathy and the last fig leaf left behind than taking care of Mu Siyuan's personal feelings.

Gee...

The wind direction changed so quickly that Yang Mo and Miss Mu were completely forgotten this time.

This is what most people at Dahua think.

………………

When the Eggplant girl, who was worried about her sisters, returned to the department and found that the silly wooden man was not there, she asked around and immediately rushed to the Asset Preservation Department 2 to "visit".

However, to her surprise, Miss Mu was calmly making tea in the deputy minister's office that had just been vacated, and Mr. Yang, who had just been severely demoted, also looked relaxed and contented, without any sign of frustration at all.

On the contrary, Li Ming, the director of the second asset department, looked anxious. He moved all kinds of office supplies in and out like a lackey. He did everything himself, as if he would get angry with anyone who dared to lend a hand!
Well, it’s all in vain!

Pursing her lips, the Eggplant Girl sat down on the sofa, took out two thick contracts from her briefcase and slammed them on the table: "Here, Yang Mo, I've finished what you asked me to do... As for Laiyang, I'll go there after I hand over my work to the company."

Although Yang Mo had been pulled out, she was not the kind of person who would go back on her word. Since she had promised Yang Mo to visit Laiyang Agricultural College, there was no reason for her to go back on her word.

Yang Mo picked up the two thick contracts, glanced at them casually, and laughed: "If you want, you might as well not rush to complete the handover procedures. While the power of attorney is still valid, you might as well take these two contracts, go to the Dezhou competent authority, and then take a stroll around Lanling to sign the remaining dozen contracts at once."

Lin Luosu frowned when he heard this.

As one of the parties involved, she certainly knew what the "dozens of contracts" Yang Mo mentioned were.

Simply put, relying on the purchase and modification contracts of more than 400 Dongfeng trucks, the production of some spare parts needed for the modification will be allocated to the units and regions that Yang Mo has already selected... As long as the contract is signed, the Finance Department of Dahua Company must allocate funds, and those units will start construction and build factories immediately after receiving the money.

It just so happened that these contracts were part of a package plan together with the purchase and modification of more than 400 Dongfeng trucks, and the board of directors had already passed the resolution. Therefore, as long as she did not return the power of attorney document, she was qualified to sign these derivative contracts on behalf of Dahua Company.

However, let’s be clear, although according to the rules, there is nothing wrong with what she did, but why did she get into trouble?

Seeing that she just frowned and didn't say anything, Yang Mo didn't care: "I'm just making a small suggestion. It doesn't matter if you don't want to... I just slipped up a little, there's no need to force it."

The implication is very clear. This was a sudden idea on his part and he had not discussed it with Miss Mu. Even if you refuse, it will not affect your relationship with Miss Mu, so you don't need to make things difficult for yourself.

She turned her eyes to Mu Liya and found that although this silly wooden man was making tea seriously as if he hadn't heard anything, his left hand that was hanging down inadvertently made a subtle gesture. The eggplant girl was immediately suspicious.

What's going on? This idiot actually told me to agree to it right away?

Are you sure you haven't been bewitched by this guy?

No, even though my sisters are weirdly bewitched by this guy, they won't let me get into trouble without knowing the truth.

There must be something fishy about this.

What's the trick?

Lin Luosu took the tea that Miss Mu passed to her, glanced at the two men's faces which showed no sign of frustration, then glanced at Li Ming who was busy and sweating but still enjoying his work, and a flash of inspiration came to her mind.

Protect all assets!
Yes, it was a bit strange that the personnel adjustment notice came so quickly; and it was also a bit puzzling that these two guys were transferred to the Asset Preservation Department 1 and 2 at the same time.

If your feeling is right...

It was obvious that Uncle Mu had deliberately made such an exchange arrangement at the cost of active compromise. Otherwise, given the situation in Dongying, it would not make sense for such a document to be issued so quickly.

But why should these two guys be moved to the asset preservation department?

Thinking of the responsibilities of the asset protection department, a hint of suspicion flashed in Lin Luosu's eyes.

Are you determined to provide protection for the so-called commercial demonstration zone?

After all, since it is called the Asset Protection Department, these two departments, in addition to collecting, transforming and disposing of non-performing assets, also have the right to guide and take over the operation and management of large asset projects when the projects incur large losses.

At present, the only large-scale asset project of Dahua Company is the four independently operated projects contained in the commercial demonstration zone!
and so……

To some extent, Yang Mo was saved, but he was not completely hidden?

This seems to make sense.

After all, Uncle Mu has already compromised on his own initiative. If we go too far in killing him, it would be a taboo.

Moreover, Dahua Company's task is extremely arduous. Solving the problem of the diversion of nearly 200,000 employees within five years is certainly an unimaginably arduous burden, and the task of "diverting 70,000 people" given this year is an even more suffocating indicator.

Therefore, although those people no longer have much confidence in Yang Mo's abilities, his previous achievements are there after all. For the sake of the overall situation, leaving him some private space to mess around without taking up funds and resources can be considered as keeping a thought in mind.

Ok……

This is in line with the practices of those old foxes who have three burrows.

But why did this idiot gesture for me to agree quickly, and it seemed like "the opportunity is fleeting, if you don't hurry, you will regret it later"?

Why is this again?
Even if you have great confidence in this guy and think he can make a comeback with the help of that so-called commercial demonstration zone, this shouldn't be the case, right?
And... Hey, hey, hey, you idiot, you need to understand that this guy has been demoted to deputy minister, and I am the minister. Even if you want me to do something, please use the tone of request instead of this attitude of implicitly assigning tasks to subordinates!
cut~
It has come to this, and you are still so arrogant even when begging me to do something for you?

Thinking of this, Eggplant Girl snorted in her heart...

"Okay! Then I won't go to the board office to handle the handover. I will call the Texas authority to confirm the time. After lunch, I will look at their schedule and decide whether to go to the city first or to Lanling first."

The Eggplant Girl looked nonchalant, as if this was just a small matter that could be easily done between friends, and she didn't show any dissatisfaction at all.

She was not a fool. Since Mu Liya secretly gestured to her to agree quickly, she would do as she was told.

Although I don’t know why, I know this sister who I have been with for more than ten years will not harm me.

………………

Seeing that Eggplant Girl agreed, Yang Mo smiled.

After thinking about it, Yang Mo first stood up and closed the door, then waved his hand, signaling Li Ming to stop working for the time being and sit down together.

After Li Ming, the official director of the second asset protection department, found a seat and sat down on the sofa, Yang Mo took out a cigarette and handed it to him, indicating that he should stop playing that game. Then he looked at the eggplant girl casually: "Director Lin, the company is undergoing a major personnel adjustment. It is foreseeable that things will be a mess in the future... Have you ever thought about what you are going to do next?"

He knew very well that these second-generation people were here to gild their reputation.

But this kind of "gilding" is different from gilding in the conventional sense, which requires achievements.

Just like when Song Wenxuan asked him before, the reason why this eggplant girl was complaining about being bored all day long and came to him to ask him to find something for her to do was actually looking for an opportunity... There was no way, because the management and decision-making power of Dahua Company was in Yang Mo's hands at the beginning. If she wanted to get a chance to make achievements, she could not get around him.

Hearing this, Lin Luosu looked at Yang Mo with a strange expression. After pondering for a while, he propped up his chin with a bored look on his face: "To be honest... I haven't thought about it yet!"

Asset protection is a back-end department, and a back-end department with a very delayed effect.

Simply put, although the weight of this department is not low and it is an important department for the company to recover economic and asset losses, the prerequisite is... you have to wait until the business department has established the project and these projects have generated a large amount of non-performing assets before you can be of use.

This back and forth will take at least one or two years, otherwise this department will end up in tatters!

Of course, if Dahua acquires other projects, or reorganizes its subordinate tertiary industry projects, they will also have work to do in the process of divesting and disposing of non-performing assets;
But now it is 1990. Unlike later generations, these divested non-performing assets are not allowed to be packaged and sold to the public. Instead, they will be reorganized a second or even third time, and then left to survive.

It can be said that everyone avoids this kind of thing, for fear of being involved in it. In the process of divesting assets and reorganizing, you can never imagine what strange and bad things you will encounter, and you can never predict when you will encounter mass incidents initiated by those dissatisfied employees, and if you don’t handle it well, it will be a black spot on your resume.

To be honest, although Dongying arranged her to be the head of the Asset Preservation Department 1, a big part of the reason was based on her family background; the reason why the Asset Preservation Department 2 was established was simply to plan for when something like this happens, Department 2 will take the blame, and Department 1 will "secretly assist" Department 1 to smooth things over with the connections behind her, Miss Lin. This can be considered the best of both worlds... but if possible, she doesn't want to get involved in such a thing at all.

Therefore, in her mind, the most ideal situation is that the company's business department quickly establishes a few larger projects, and then these projects suffer huge losses in just one or two months. Then she can intervene in these new projects with serious losses to provide guidance on their operations, and eventually bring them back to life and make some achievements in a legitimate way.

But she knew very well that this was YY.

So even though she saw that Dahua Company was about to undergo major changes, she, who was in such a departmental platform, really didn't know what to do in the future for a while.

Hearing this, Yang Mo glanced at Li Ming who was also looking miserable, and laughed: "Don't be so depressed. Dahua is a newly listed company after all, and the nature and focus of the work are different from other companies. There is a saying that goes... The world is uncertain, you and I are both dark horses... There are some things that can be fought for!"

Fight for?

Lin Luosu looked at him in surprise, then realized something and quickly put down his left leg that was on the sofa: "How do we fight for it?"

Yang Mo and Miss Mu exchanged a glance and smiled at her: "It's very simple. The contract for the modification of the 400 trucks has been signed. As long as the other derivative contracts are signed, these trucks can be modified and delivered to Dahua Company at a rate of 80 trucks per month."

Mu Liya took over the conversation: "According to the project application submitted and approved by the fourth business department, after these cars are modified, they will be immediately delivered to the [Qinghua Logistics and Transportation Company] jointly established by Dahua Company, Xialiu Sales Agency, Qingfeng Food, and Xixiangfeng Canning Factory. They will begin to take advantage of DZ City's transportation advantages, undertake various transportation tasks, and continuously transport products and materials to various places... And Qinghua Logistics and Transportation Company will also abide by the original contract and absorb 960 laid-off employees within four months."

Yang Mo clicked his tongue twice: "Over 960 million in assets, and it also involves the employment of employees. It can be regarded as Dahua Company's leading project, right?"

Mu Liya laughed. "Of course, but this transportation company, which owns more than 400 large modified vehicles of various types, had a bad start... Although it did provide nearly a thousand jobs for the headquarters, it suffered huge losses in the first two months."

Yang Mo sighed, "There's nothing we can do. These cars are currently mainly used in the rural markets of various counties. The transportation roads are long and short, and the road conditions are extremely poor. In addition, some roads are not very safe... Fuel consumption, car breakdown repairs, cargo damage compensation, plus the wages of thousands of employees, all these items added up, it is really not a small cost."

Mu Liya also had a melancholy look on her face. "But most of the things transported by Qinghua Logistics and Transportation Company are materials from various units within the Dahua system. You can't and don't have the reason to raise the price at will. The prices of those materials are actually not high, and it's not appropriate to raise the price at will... Look, as soon as Dahua Company planned to raise the price, more than a dozen units protested and planned to cancel the original cooperation contract."

Yang Mo nodded: "Yes, it's not easy to make money these days. Those companies have always been taking the path of small profits but quick turnover. How can they afford the high freight? Even if this matter is reported to the Dongying Command, Dahua Company will not respond."

Mu Liya's worry deepened. "But this transportation company is involved in hundreds of millions of assets and the employment of nearly a thousand laid-off workers in Dongying. How can we just watch it lose money?"

Yang Mo: "But the difficulty is that if it doesn't raise the price, it will continue to lose money. If it raises the price, all the other partners in the Dahua system will resist and cancel the contract... It's difficult!"

Mu Liya: "So there began to be voices within Dahua, planning to open up the transportation business to the public."

Yang Mo: "But this is difficult. Even if there are less than 200 large trucks officially delivered in the first two months, the transportation capacity of so many trucks is terrifying. In today's environment of vigorously rectifying private enterprises, if we can't find enough state-owned enterprises to get orders, then so many vehicles will face the situation of sitting idle and gathering dust...DZ City is one of the three major transportation hubs in North China. Although it is famous for railway transportation, there are also countless truck transport teams. Under the supervision of the competent authorities, it is not easy to get enough orders from state-owned enterprises."

Mu Liya: "Well, it's true. It just so happens that Dongying is already reducing staff and increasing efficiency. Under this sensitive situation, it is absolutely not suitable to divide the orders from there... So, in this dilemma, this transportation company with over 100 million fixed assets and involving the employment of nearly 1,000 employees has become a difficult problem for Dahua Company!"

Yang Mo shook his head: "There are more than a thousand employees... The supporting auto repair shops and loading and unloading companies rely on low freight rates to barely make a living or even make a small profit. Add them all together, and the number is more than 30,000. With such a big involvement, I'm afraid that everyone in Dahua Company is numb!"

Mu Liya: "Indeed, with the personnel adjustments in the company, each department is willing to do things on their own. Everyone is busy competing for the right to use funds so that they can achieve more results. Who is willing to invest the already tight funds on Dahua Company's books in something that even a fool can see is a bottomless pit."

Yang Mo smacked his lips. "So, after much thought, someone suggested that the company should hand over this extremely difficult problem to the Asset Preservation Department... After all, the main job of the Asset Preservation Department is to transform and dispose of non-performing assets... And Minister Lin has a wide network of contacts, so he should be able to solve this problem... As for how to solve it, that's none of their business."

Mu Liya laughed, "I think everyone's idea will be very clear by then. Isn't your Minister Lin's uncle in the army? And he has many old friends. Since Qinghua Logistics and Transportation Company can't make money by only doing business within the Dahua system, and can't get too many large orders from Dezhou... then it's simple. Let your uncle and his friends leak some meat from other systems, right? Anyway, as long as they don't divide the orders from the Qilu Petroleum system, those people won't be caught. Besides, Qilu is not like other provinces. The army has a lot of meat exposed from the periphery!"

"After this matter is settled, Qinghua Logistics and Transportation Company will naturally become the territory of the Asset Preservation Department. With such a platform with assets of over 100 million yuan and more than 400 transport vehicles of various types, Minister Lin will have a foundation for his career. If he wants to achieve something, won't it be easy?"

Listening to Miss Mu and Yang Mo "previewing" the next two months' events in a crosstalk-like manner, Lin Luosu frowned and looked at them: "But I don't want this to happen. My uncle won't be willing to lend a hand for such a thing... Although this kind of transportation unit is very important, it is just an auxiliary platform. If it could really produce results that easily, it wouldn't be my turn. Others would have clamored to do it long ago, even if it would cost them a lot of money."

Yang Mo shrugged: "I know, so I said it...it's just what other people think."

Lin Luosu understood the implication of his words and looked at him curiously: "What do you mean...?"

Yang Mo chuckled twice: "Don't always look at this matter with the old way of thinking. To solve the operating difficulties of Qinghua Logistics and Transportation Company, you can't just beg others to give you orders...Besides, who told you that this company is just an auxiliary platform and can't achieve results alone?"

! ! ? ?
Lin Luosu looked at him in surprise: "What does this mean?"

Yang Mo laughed: "The court's expectation for state-owned enterprises is that they do not compete with the people for profits; so we should not always focus on those quasi-stock markets with low entry barriers!"

"So, the key to this matter lies in...the subsequent delivery speed of the Qingdao Automobile Factory, and the words [various types of vehicles]!"

???

The eggplant girl lowered her head and pondered for a long time, then looked at him in disbelief.

"I think I understand... No wonder you could have found FAW to customize the vehicle, but you insisted on going to the local automobile factory and modification factory to modify it... You did all this just for this!"

Thinking back to a month and a half ago, this guy had started preparing for this matter, and the hairs on Lin Luosu's back stood up...
