1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 347 Hidden dangers
Late April is the best time of the year for scenery in Qi and Lu.

Although there are more trees and fewer flowers in Texas' greenery at this time, the willows all over the city have gradually become graceful and elegant after bidding farewell to the annoying March with white catkins flying all over the sky. The vibrant green makes people feel much better for no reason.

"All labor is equally honorable - Baoxiang Packaging Factory is authorized to recruit 40 workers of all kinds."

"Life is never without choices, unless you are unwilling to try - Yuanxiang Food Processing Factory is authorized to recruit 60 production workers."

"Reshape yourself, don't give up easily in your angry youth - Luyuan Chinese Medicinal Herbs Planting Management Company is authorized to recruit 20 technicians and 70 technical instructors."

"Don't let your heart be timid, dare to take risks and move forward - Shoude Chinese Herbal Medicine Processing Institute is authorized to recruit 30 technical apprentices and 40 production workers."

Looking at the long row of tables in front of the Momo Baichao restaurant and the queue of people that took up half of the street, Mu Siyuan, who was sitting in the Audi 100, felt mixed emotions.

"Xiaoxuan, are you saying... this situation has been going on for nearly half a month?"

Mu Siyuan, who was dressed in casual clothes, turned his head to look at the young man sitting next to him and asked softly.

This Audi 100 was moving slowly in the crowd, and the person sitting with him in the back seat was not Yang Mo, but Song Wenxuan.

For some reason, Mu Siyuan, who had arrived in Texas early yesterday morning and stayed in a hotel for one night, did not rush to the Dahua Industrial Park on the northern outskirts of the city to see his daughter and Yang Mo as the first thing he did when he got up this morning. Instead, he called Song Wenxuan over and accompanied him around the city for half the morning.

Song Wenxuan nodded respectfully towards Mu Siyuan: "Yes, Uncle Mu, as the commercial demonstration zone projects continue to be signed, relying on Momo Baichao's outlets in Dezhou, Yang Mo's recruitment activities have lasted for nearly half a month, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger... If I remember correctly, this is already the eighth wave."

The eighth wave?
Mu Siyuan was really surprised. He turned his head and counted the tables with banners hanging on them.

Although due to limited space and the need to take into account the business of other shops on the street, these recruitment points are specially set up against the wall three meters away from the gate of the neighboring shop, but at a glance, this one Mo Mo Baichao outlet alone has no less than 8 recruitment points set up.

Based on the average of 60 employees per enterprise, the number of employees recruited by a Momo outlet will not be less than 480;
Momobaichao has 24 outlets in the urban area of ​​DZ, and it recruits 1440 people in one wave.

This is now the eighth wave.

meaning is……

The employment quota for idle personnel and unemployed workers in DZ city alone has exceeded 1.1 people! ?
Well, that's right.

A large portion of these recruitment positions are for unemployed workers, which can be easily seen from the types of jobs these companies are recruiting.

Coupled with those slogans that sounded like chicken soup, if he couldn't see that this was Yang Mo doing psychological counseling for those unemployed workers out of some tacit understanding with DZ City, then he'd better not be involved in this business.

"Yang Mo has basically established a foothold in Texas now~!"

Mu Siyuan sighed softly, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "It can be seen that he does not know nothing... I just don't know why he is always so repulsive to Dongying."

Song Wenxuan knew what Uncle Mu meant by "not knowing nothing", so he just smiled respectfully and said, "Yang Mo is from the drilling company. The drilling company has had a prejudice against us over the years, so it is understandable that he is unwilling to go along with us too much."

"And Mr. Wang's return was for a mission."

"My father once said that although our oil system was reorganized into the China National Petroleum Corporation as early as 88, the higher-ups were quite dissatisfied with the scattered situation in various places. Last year, they issued a document to rename our Dongying headquarters to the Qilu Petroleum Administration Bureau and required us to improve per capita efficiency. Although there is indeed an objective need, it undoubtedly also reflects the will of the higher-ups to further deepen reform and rectification;"

"So, if my guess is correct, our oil system will inevitably undergo a second reorganization in the near future. At that time, the 12 oil and gas field companies including our Qilu Petroleum Administration Bureau and Southwest Petroleum Administration Bureau will definitely have a fierce competition."

"You also know that the National Petroleum and Natural Gas Corporation is a vice-ministerial unit with management and social regulation functions... Therefore, as the drilling company is the second-level unit with the best performance and the most influential industry in the Southwest Petroleum Bureau, Mr. Wang is naturally unwilling to get too entangled with us in Dongying."

At this point, Song Wenxuan spread his hands and said, "It is said that the current assistant general manager of the drilling company, Zhang Wenshun, has a good personal relationship with Yang Mo, and Zhang Wenshun is the chief contributor to the return of Mr. Wang. So it is not surprising that as soon as Yang Mo entered Dahua Company, he used your trust, Uncle Mu, to open up a second battlefield and continuously coupled the relationship with the competent authorities of DZ City."

Upon hearing this, Mu Siyuan took a deep look at Song Wenxuan beside him.

How could he not hear the implicit complaint in the words of this nephew who almost became his son-in-law?
It's just...

Haha, it seems that Old Song really wants to train his son. He didn't even discuss with Song Wenxuan the speculation about the real intention of Mr. Wang's return.

The Southwest Petroleum Bureau, which is poor in oil field resources, wants to compete with the Qilu Petroleum Administration Bureau, which owns the second largest oil field in the country?
Even with a star secondary unit like Drilling Company No. 1, which is actually a bit of a castle in the air, this kind of thing is just a thought.

Thinking of this, Mu Siyuan smiled faintly, not paying attention to Song Wenxuan's little thoughts, and asked other questions instead: "Has Yang Mo's quota for new employment positions been finalized, especially the quota for Dongying?"

The projects signed in the commercial demonstration zone during this period all have investments from multiple parties. Dahua Company, the tertiary industry units under the drilling company, the village where the project is located, the competent authorities of DZ City, and even some state-owned enterprises in DZ City will all hold certain shares in the projects.

According to the additional conditions, only 30% of the employees of these projects will be recruited by foreign investors themselves, and the remaining 70% will be allocated according to the shareholding ratio of other shareholders.

So, there are three very interesting points here.

49. In order to avoid the risk of using public resources for private gain, the shareholding ratios of those foreign investors are all between 55% and 70%, and they are also willing to give up 30% of the employment targets. However, even for the remaining 5%, these investors often do not really recruit all the workers themselves, but only retain about 7% to % of the employment targets to accommodate their designated technical personnel, management personnel, relatives and friends, and some for "reserve". The rest are all entrusted to a company called Qingxia Labor Dispatch for recruitment.

Just by listening to the name, you can tell what kind of background this labor dispatch company is... In other words, Yang Mo is in charge of many projects with more than 23% of the employment indicators... With hundreds of projects accumulated, this is a number that cannot be underestimated.

Second, since the Drilling Company itself holds 33.4% of the shares in Dahua Company, Dahua Company must allocate 1/3 of the employment quota to the Drilling Company according to its own share ratio... In other words, if the employment quota is calculated based on the share ratio, even if the Dahua Company's equity coefficient has an additional weight of 0.38~0.4 due to the concessions of foreign investors, if a project generates 1900 new employment positions, Dahua Company can only allocate about employment quotas to Dongying at most after deducting the quota of the Drilling Company;

On the other hand, for the drilling company, if we only count the employment indicators allocated from Dahua Company, only about 800 new employment positions can be allocated out of 5; but you cannot help but think that in one project, there are 10% to 700% shares of tertiary industry units such as Qingfeng Food, the Fifth Farm, and Laoliu Chicken Breeding Institute. After weighting, the employment indicators derived from these shares are 1400 to .

3. Unlike Dongying, which needs to relocate tens of thousands of laid-off workers this year, the Drilling Company now has no pressure to relocate workers… Not only is there no pressure to relocate workers, the Drilling Company has even been short of staff since the end of last year, and even needs to continue to cooperate with Xialiu Sales Agency and other units to ensure that all its projects have sufficient staff to operate.

In other words, the 1500 to 2000 employment indicators allocated to every people in the drilling company are completely idle indicators.

This does not include the 23% to 25% employment quota authorized by the investor to Qingxia Labor Dispatch Company and controlled by Yang Mo personally.

what does this mean?
This means that among the more than 40 projects that have been officially signed, on average more than % of the employment indicators of each project are all in Yang Mo's hands.

Therefore, how he allocates this 40% employment target depends entirely on his mood.

It's no use to find the drilling company for this matter. The most the drilling company can do is transfer Dahua Company's employment quota to Dongying. However, affiliated/cooperative enterprises such as Qingfeng Food have independent operating rights, and they have also invested real money. There is no reason for the drilling company to force them to transfer their employment quota for free.

In other words, Yang Mo personally has the right to control at least 35% of the employment indicators of these projects.

Therefore, the "employment quota" that Mu Siyuan asked about was obviously not referring to the employment quota that Dongying should have received from Dahua Company, but the quota that Yang Mo got from him.

Upon hearing this, Song Wenxuan pondered for a moment, but smiled bitterly: "This matter... is a bit hard to explain in a few words." "Difficult to explain in a few words?" Mu Siyuan frowned in surprise.

Song Wenxuan sighed, his tone somewhat inexplicable: "If you say that Yang Mo did not allocate labor quotas to Dongying, that is not right."

"Since February, the redeployment of the laid-off workers in Dongying has basically been solved by Yang Mo. Even though he is no longer the vice president and director of the business audit department of Dahua Company, he still took the initiative to fill 807 positions when coordinating the employment quota this month. Together with the employment quota allocated to Dahua Company, it can just solve the redeployment problem of the sixth and seventh batches of 3400 laid-off workers in Dongying."

"But if you say he really takes the overall situation into consideration, it doesn't seem like it."

"Ten days ago, at the company's mid-level and senior management meeting, Ding Xiang and several vice presidents told him straight away that the reduction in staff and increase in efficiency in Dongying has officially entered a critical period. Whether Dahua Company has sufficient ammunition is directly related to Dongying's confidence and whether the next stage of work can be carried out smoothly. So they hope that he can share another 20,000 employment indicators;"

"However, he refused on the grounds that the preliminary preparations for the commercial demonstration zone project had not yet been completed and the specific number of employees could not be determined. He said that he would try to coordinate urgently after the total number of employees to be transferred from Dongying in May was determined."

At this point, Song Wenxuan had a strange expression on his face: "Everyone can see that Yang Mo is deliberately hanging us, trying to force us to bow our heads and embarrass us... After all, of the 4 projects that Dahua Company approved in April, although 74 have been officially launched, most of them are internal restructuring and optimization projects, so it is difficult to provide large-scale employment indicators before July... Therefore, during the two-month window period of May and June, except for Yang Mo's project, Dahua Company is basically unlikely to rely on other means to solve the diversion problem of Dongying's estimated total number of employees exceeding 19."

"What's even more terrible is that, of the more than 70 projects designed and planned for the commercial demonstration zone, % have been formally signed and have entered the preparation stage;"

"Uncle Mu, you also know that these small and medium-sized project groups, from preparation to launch, only take two or three months at most... In other words, if we can't reach an [understanding] with Yang Mo within two months, we can only get 1 to 1.2 jobs from him at most;"

"Then... Yang Mo's remaining batch of flexible employment quotas, which may be as large as 3, has nothing to do with Dongying at all."

"After all, once the project is officially launched, it means that the roster has been completely finalized. It is not reasonable for us to snatch food from the tiger's mouth... What's more, the competent authorities of DZ City and various counties are also looking forward to Yang Mo finding more jobs for them, which makes it even more difficult."

"And the unfortunate thing is that the intensity of the work of reducing staff and increasing efficiency in Dongying will increase gradually before December, and will not be reduced until the Spring Festival. Therefore, starting from June, the task pressure of Dahua Company will double... If Yang Mo insists on saving face, it is unlikely that everyone in Dahua Company will bow to him."

At this point, Song Wenxuan spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I don't quite understand Yang Mo's approach. Holding these flexible employment indicators in his hands is indeed a very important bargaining chip in the short term, and it is indeed possible for him to vent his anger, but from a development perspective, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages... Once the rest of Dahua's projects begin to enter a virtuous cycle and provide more and more new jobs, by then, Yang Mo, whose only commercial demonstration zone project he can rely on can no longer provide new jobs, will have a hard time."

After a slight pause, Song Wenxuan glanced at Mu Siyuan, whose expression remained unchanged. "Of course, Yang Mo may have been indignant. Seeing that Uncle Mu was in a passive situation in Dongying during this period, he wanted to help you vent your anger and regain the initiative. The tens of thousands of flexible employment quotas in his hands may be a gift to you, Uncle Mu."

Gift?

I’m afraid you want to say that these tens of thousands of employment indicators are Yang Mo’s betrothal gift to Yaer, right?
Glancing at Song Wenxuan, Mu Siyuan pondered for a moment: "Xiaoxuan, do you think that the 74 projects that Dahua Company launched this month will really be on track in two or three months?"

Song Wenxuan could easily figure out why Mu Siyuan suddenly asked this question, so he had almost no hesitation: "It's unlikely. Seven or eight of these projects can be put on the right track. As for the rest... it would be good if we don't have to ask Dahua Company for a transfusion from the special funds to be injected next year."

Mu Siyuan glanced at him with interest: "Only about seven or eight of them can get on track? It seems that Xiaoxuan, you are very confident in yourself... Among those projects that can get on track, your project should be one of them, right?"

Song Wenxuan smiled reservedly but said nothing, obviously agreeing.

Seeing this, Mu Siyuan became even more interested: "Xiaoxuan, since you think that with only the existing projects of Dahua Company, it is basically impossible to complete this year's tasks if Yang Mo refuses to let go, then why do you look so indifferent?"

"You have to know that if Dahua Company fails to submit a satisfactory answer this year, the special fund for next year will most likely be abandoned amid opposition from Dongying... and your project will most likely also come to an end due to lack of follow-up funds!"

Song Wenxuan laughed: "Uncle Mu, you are joking. The reason why I am not nervous is that I believe Yang Mo will definitely give you the employment quotas he has... Yang Mo is a person who only helps his relatives and not his wife. For Xiaoya's sake, there is no way he will not give you those quotas."

When Miss Mu's name was mentioned, Song Wenxuan's eyes flashed with a complicated expression, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Since Dahua Company's tasks for this year are basically fine, why should I worry about it? I think next year's special funds will be no problem, and it is likely to be more than this year... Since Dahua Company's special funds for next year are basically guaranteed, I don't have to worry about whether my project will end in vain."

Mu Siyuan quietly observed Song Wenxuan's expression, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly said, "What else?"

Song Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "After all, I can't hide it from Uncle Mu."

"Well, there is another factor..."

"There aren't many people in Dahua who are truly good at business, and that's the main reason why I'm not optimistic about those 74 projects."

"Although Yang Mo's talent in business is indeed astonishing, he has created many new jobs, but he only cares about quantity and not quality. He can help Dongying with the transition for the time being, but there are many hidden dangers. I'm afraid that in one or two years, there will be endless troubles again."

At this point, Song Wenxuan looked at Mu Siyuan reservedly: "But it doesn't matter. As long as we can get through this year's difficulties, by the end of the year or next year, when my nephew's project is really on track, I will be able to easily solve these problems, and then help Uncle Mu successfully complete the tasks assigned by the department... I believe that by then, it should not be difficult for Uncle Mu to make further progress."

Go further?
Mu Siyuan looked at Song Wenxuan deeply and knew what his nephew was thinking.

To be honest, if possible, he would not object to this young man, whom he had watched grow up, becoming a family member with him.

only……

Mu Siyuan thought about it and asked with some interest: "You said that although Yang Mo has created many new jobs, there are many hidden dangers?"

Sensing the subtle change in Mu Siyuan's attitude, Song Wenxuan smiled and said confidently, "Yes, I said that although Yang Mo has created many new positions, they are more about quantity than quality. They can only be regarded as a transitional aid for Uncle Mu's work of reducing staff and increasing efficiency, but not enough to be relied upon as a backbone."

"As for the reason behind this... Uncle Mu can probably guess it."

At this point, Song Wenxuan raised his lips slightly: "Although Yang Mo is also a member of a central enterprise, he was born in the countryside and has only been in the drilling company for a short time. He has never worked in Dongying, so he actually has little understanding of the employees in Dongying."

"The prosperity of Dongying cannot be compared with a mere drilling company or even an old industrial city like DZ City;"

"To put it bluntly, the employees of the subordinate units of the Dongying Command, even if they are just contract workers, are all accustomed to prosperity and have high aspirations."

"These people are either under pressure from a sense of crisis or still have illusions about the headquarters, so they are willing to be diverted here to work as ordinary workers in Yang Mo's newly established companies, which they despise, doing jobs that offer no decent benefits other than a pitiful salary."

"But people are very strange creatures. Once the sense of crisis of the employees who have been transferred here is no longer so strong, once these people understand that this transfer will be irreversible, they will no longer be able to return to their original units... Do you think these employees will be satisfied with such low wages and such poor welfare benefits?"

Song Wenxuan chuckled twice, his eyes gleaming with brilliance: "Perhaps the wages and benefits provided by these newly established companies can satisfy these ordinary workers in DZ City and those mud-legged people in the countryside who can't even get enough food, but they are them, and our Dongying employees are Dongying employees... Mixing the two together is Yang Mo's biggest mistake!"

"As for me, I can honestly say that I would never make such a mistake... Since I chose the stock market + entity that the country had just planned to open as the entry point for the project, I naturally took this into consideration."

"So, as long as you give me some time, I will let everyone know that I am the best candidate to solve the problem of the transfer of Dongying employees!"

Hearing this, Mu Siyuan nodded slightly: "That's right, if it wasn't for you, Xiaoxuan, reminding me, I would have overlooked this point... Alas."

After sighing with no clear meaning, Mu Siyuan closed his eyes and thought for a while.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and told the driver in front of him, "It's almost time... Let's go to Dahua Industrial Park!"
