1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 488: Arrogant but Reasonable (1)

The Spring Festival in 1991 was on February th. Logically, the year-end work meeting could be held in early February. Even if it was held a little earlier, late January would be early enough.

Dahua Company's year-end meeting is scheduled for January 7; this is Yang Mo's mandatory requirement, and he has his considerations... No one knows the mystery of this time point. If it is a week later, certain situations may change drastically.

However, the year-end meeting of Dezhou Urban Development Fund Company was scheduled earlier.

1 month 3 day.

It was held almost right after New Year's Day. Even if we ignore the meager and insignificant performance of the Urban Development Fund Company, the time was so early that it didn't seem like a year-end meeting at all.

And unlike the situation at Dahua Company, this was a strong request from Party Secretary Zhao Yongde.

To be precise, Zhao Yongde was just conveying the organization's suggestions.

Since it was an organizational suggestion, Yang Mo naturally couldn't object.

The reason why the organization gave such a suggestion was actually not hidden from Yang Mo...

The super-large light and heavy industrial products exchange plan, led by Dezhou Urban Development Fund Company's bond financing, coordinated by the competent authorities of DZ City and Lanling City, and participated in by several large units such as Dahua Company, Momo Baitou, Xialiu Marketing Agency, Qingfeng Food, and Xixiangfeng Cannery, has begun intensive preparations.

If nothing unexpected happens, before January 1 at the latest, the first batch of industrial products in stock with a total value of 10 million from local enterprises in DZ City will be sent from DZ City Railway Station to the imperial capital, and then from the imperial capital to Fengtian under the full coordination and escort of the special team. They will then be unloaded and repacked in Fengtian, and transported by road from Kangping north to the Inner Mongolia border and then to Shuangliao, from Taipingchuan to Taonan Baichengzi, from Baichengzi directly to Ulanhot, and then from Ulanhot to Zhalantun to Manzhouli... In the absence of the involvement of the system where Lin Luosu's uncle is located, this is already the route with the highest overall cost-effectiveness (don't ask why it is not transferred from Harbin, which is closer).

Of course, although the industrial products worth 4000 million are large in quantity and have a huge impact, there will certainly be many difficulties and risks in the operation process, but this is not important.

Importantly, the exchange program for light and heavy industrial products was launched.

Although this looks like a simple barter business, it is the beginning of the DZ City's industrial upgrading plan. Therefore, what the organization is concerned about is actually other actions that are not noticed by the public and are carried out simultaneously under the big theme of industrial upgrading and led by Yang Mo.

Of course, although these actions were not taken seriously by the public, the organization soon realized what these hidden actions meant.

So it is obvious that the province sent two leaders to attend the year-end meeting of Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company, which was held at an obviously unreasonable time. The purpose was not to listen to the extremely thin work report of this new company which was established only half a month ago, but to take this opportunity to inquire and provide guidance on certain matters.

………………

Bang bang bang~
After listening to the passionate but nonsense work report and summary by Zhang Wenshun, the part-time director of the Investment Management Department, Kuai Hua, who came from the provincial government, smiled and applauded enthusiastically with all the staff. After glancing at the participants whose size was obviously excessive, he exchanged a glance with his companion Li Bo and revealed a satisfied expression.

It was supposed to be the year-end meeting of the Urban Property Fund Company, but those sitting in the conference room today, in addition to the heads of various departments of Dezhou Urban Property Fund, also included several major leaders in the city, Qingfeng Food, Xialiu Marketing Agency, Xixiangfeng Cannery, and the heads of more than 20 large local enterprises in DZ City.

It is obvious that these members of non-production fund companies were specially invited to attend the work report in the name of "partners".

This behavior undoubtedly shows that a certain troublemaker who is both loved and hated has already known their intentions and is ready to cooperate.

Thinking of this, Kuai Hua hesitated for a moment, but still secretly winked at Zhao Yongde next to him.

As the party secretary and meeting host of Chengchan Fund Company, Zhao Yongde naturally turned on the microphone in front of him and entered the next part of the meeting: "Although our Dezhou Chengchan Fund Company was established not long ago, it has been highly valued by the province and the city since its listing. All its work has also received active support from all walks of life and full cooperation from various brother units."

"However, Dezhou Chengchan Fund Company is not an ordinary unit after all, and its mission is slightly different from that of other sister units... It is a new company, a new journey, and a new beginning. There must be a period of adjustment. It is the first time to contact with the sister units, and there will definitely be some friction and misunderstandings in the middle."

“As the saying goes, all state-owned enterprises are one family. We are all here to support the four modernizations of our motherland. We are all like-minded comrades and comrades. Taking advantage of the great opportunity of everyone gathering together again today, you can publicly point out the shortcomings and areas for improvement in the work of our Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company during past cooperation!”

Zhao Yongde's face was full of humility and encouragement: "We at Chengchan Fund have always believed that if we want to grow and progress, we must listen to other people's opinions with an open mind... Today, leaders from the province and city are here to inspect our work. I sincerely ask all leaders and representatives of brother units to speak freely and point out the shortcomings in our work!"

"Whether these suggestions are reasonable or not, as far as we are concerned, we should correct them if there are any, and learn from them if there are none. Even if there are some practical difficulties that cannot be overcome for the time being, don't we still have the provincial and municipal leaders to help us coordinate on the spot? Things that we think cannot be solved may be a piece of cake in front of the leaders... Don't miss such a good opportunity!"

Seeing Zhao Yongde's expression and tone that indicated "Everyone hurry up and take advantage of the local tyrant here to take advantage of us", Kuai Hua, Li Bo and others looked as if they had been tricked into a den of thieves. Many people immediately started laughing as well, and the originally tense and restrained atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

After laughing, a middle-aged man sitting on a chair outside the oversized conference table, who looked in good shape, raised his hand and stood up. "Thank you, leaders, and thank you Secretary Zhao for giving us a chance to speak... As an invited unit, we shouldn't have said anything, but since Secretary Zhao said so, I'll really speak!"

Zhao Yongde glanced at Yang Mo, who had a calm face, and laughed: "It's Mr. Feng from the Dezhou Capacitor Factory, right? Just speak freely!"

Mr. Feng took the microphone from the staff, nervously did some ideological work, took a deep breath, and then looked directly at Yang Mo on the left side of the conference table, and asked with courage: "I don't have any suggestions for the cooperation with Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company. After all, your company was established not long ago, and the cooperation has just begun; and the nature of your work is different from ours, and Mr. Yang of your company is even more famous. Asking me to give suggestions in this regard is like showing off in front of Guan Gong. I don't have the courage to do so."

When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed kindly.

As the other party said, Dezhou Urban Development Fund Company has only been established for half a month, and the cooperation between the two parties has just begun. Can you offer any suggestions for improvement?

Besides, with Yang Mo being such a big Buddha here, who the hell has the confidence to make suggestions... Before making suggestions, you'd better reflect on whether there is anything you have not done well enough.

Just when everyone thought that this guy just jumped out to flatter and liven up the atmosphere, they heard Mr. Feng change the subject: "However, although I can't offer any other opinions, I would like to take the liberty to ask Mr. Yang a question..."

"Since your company has said that you are responsible for the industrial upgrading of DZ City, and even the light and heavy industrial products exchange plan is to accumulate sufficient start-up funds for DZ City's industrial upgrading project, the city has even made great efforts and hard work to coordinate this light and heavy industrial products plan;"

"But why did your company refuse to include our Dezhou Capacitor Factory in the first batch of key support enterprises? Even when the city leaders specifically pleaded for mercy, you still refused to make an exception?"

"Is it because the fixed assets and number of employees of our Dezhou capacitor factory do not meet the standards?"

"Or is it that our technical strength is not good enough?"

"Or... Mr. Yang, you don't have a thorough understanding of the industrial technology situation, and you don't have a sufficient understanding of the importance of MLCC (multilayer ceramic capacitors) that nearly a hundred technicians in our factory have spent five years researching and improving?"

Mr. Feng's voice was a little reserved at first, and even had a slight tremor, but as he spoke, each sentence became more and more passionate, and in the end, he even uttered a question that sounded almost like questioning.

Looking at the middle-aged man's slightly graying temples and his face full of reluctance and sadness, everyone present fell silent.

As mentioned before, the light and heavy industrial products exchange plan is part of the DZ city's industrial upgrading project.

According to the concept, the destocking funds converted from these exchanged industrial products will be fed back to the participating enterprises as soon as possible. The profits generated in the process, after leaving enough for the interest to pay for the bonds, will also be redistributed by the Chengchan Fund Company to inject and support the industries and enterprises they believe should be supported. Therefore, the first list of key supported enterprises determined by Yang Mo is very important. This is not only related to the issue of the investment amount later, but also to the proportion of these enterprises in the commodity share of this light and heavy industrial product exchange plan... The more the share, the more principal the enterprise will recover in the form of pre-redemption, and the faster it will be able to get rid of the current predicament.

More importantly, when your name appears on that list, it also means that in the exchange of light and heavy industrial products with the Bear Country, the Texas side will give priority to you as much as possible, and even spare no cost to help you exchange some important equipment, technical data, and even expert talents that will play a significant role in promoting your company.

Given the current actual situation of the Bear Country, this is definitely not an exaggeration. It's just that the Bear Country has not fallen yet, and given the psychological advantage it has formed over China over a long period of time, if the price is too small, people may not really be tempted, especially those experts who have somewhat twisted personalities.

Therefore, in this kind of situation, if you don’t catch Yang Mo’s train, it will be really difficult to exchange for the good things you need.

Kuai Hua looked at the middle-aged man with disappointment and resentment in his eyes, then glanced at Zhao Yongde who was two steps away, and said uncertainly: "MLCC... multilayer ceramic capacitor?"

Before Zhao Yongde could say anything, You Yakun, who was accompanying him, explained, "Kuai Chang, chip-type multilayer ceramic capacitors are the result of continuous modernization of the glass glaze capacitors of the World War II era... After several technological improvements, today's MLCCs not only have the common characteristics of capacitors [blocking DC and passing AC], but also have small size, large specific capacitance, long life, high reliability, and are suitable for surface mounting. They can be said to be one of the most important basic original parts in the electronics industry."

"In fact, MLCC is now known as the "rice of the electronics industry" in the international market... Since the late 70s, with the rapid development of the world's electronics industry, chip capacitors, as the basic components of the electronics industry, have also developed at an astonishing speed in the international market, increasing at a rate of 10% to 15% per year;"

"Last year alone, the demand for MLCC in Japan and South Korea in Northeast Asia, which is adjacent to Qilu, exceeded 160 billion pieces, not to mention the European, American and Southeast Asian markets. The scale of the market is obvious."

As the deputy monitor, You Yakun was well aware of some characteristics of leaders who were not from technical backgrounds. Therefore, he did not talk too much to Kuai Hua about the various technologies of chip multilayer ceramic capacitors. Instead, he emphasized the importance and market size of MLCC in the electronics industry, and even used the figurative metaphor of "rice of the electronics industry."

As expected, Kuai Hua, who didn't know much about the subdivided technologies in various industrial fields, took a deep breath when he heard this: "In Northeast Asia alone, the demand last year exceeded 160 billion units, and it is still increasing at a rate of 10% to 15% every year!?"

"Xiao You, you have to be realistic when you're working. You can't just give out any data at random!"

After being shocked, Kuai Hua's tone became somewhat serious.

To be fair, he and Li Bo did come here with the intention of correcting the willful behavior of a certain troublemaker; but this does not mean that they intend to give Yang Mo a hard blow... Even if the price of capacitors is not that expensive, if the market size of this thing is in the billions, and it involves the most fashionable electronic industry in the world, then the nature of Yang Mo's failure to include the Texas capacitor factory in the first batch of key support lists has changed.

What a joke! If Yang Mo was labeled as "putting personal interests above public interest and having an incorrect stance", how would he be able to get away with it in the future?

You Yakun's expression was calm: "Kuai Chang, this data comes from the Import and Export Trade and Industry Research Association, and it was published in the third issue of the internal reference in June 1990. If you need it... or I can ask someone to find it for you now?"

There are still many people who like to make up data these days, so it is understandable that Kuai Hua has doubts about the numbers he reported... After all, the current domestic electronics industry is extremely weak, and it is understandable that it is difficult for Chinese people to believe that MLCC has such a large demand in the global market.

Was it published in the third issue of internal reference in June?
Kuai Hua's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a low and stern tone: "Then why didn't you actively communicate with Xiao Yang at that time and do some ideological work?"

The preparation of a list of key support enterprises related to industrial upgrading cannot bypass the local competent authorities. As the deputy monitor of DZ City, he even has to sign the list in person.

Facing Kuai Hua's questioning, You Yakun smiled bitterly: "I have discussed this matter with Mr. Yang and have done ideological work on him many times, but..."

At this point, You Yakun sighed imperceptibly, his tone full of helplessness.

Dezhou Urban Property Fund has a special nature. Not only is it a key experimental project of the organization, but most of the funds needed for industrial upgrading are also raised by the Dezhou Urban Property Fund itself. Therefore, the competent authorities of DZ City may be able to hold Yang Mo accountable for unsatisfactory industrial indicators at the annual work summary meeting next year or the year after. However, if Yang Mo insists on ignoring You Yakun on the support list in the name of limited funds, the deputy squad leader will have no way to deal with Yang Mo.

Looking at the bitter expression on You Yakun's face, Kuai Hua's brows gradually frowned, and a hint of coldness began to appear in his eyes.

Kuai Hua tapped the table gently and turned on the microphone in front of him. Although his voice was as gentle as before, it made people feel a little uneasy: "Mr. Yang, since multilayer ceramic capacitors are so important, and even involve the industrial upgrading of Dezhou and even Qilu's electronic industry manufacturing industry, then the fact that Dezhou Capacitor Factory was not selected into the first batch of key support enterprises of your Dezhou Urban Real Estate Fund Company... Mr. Yang, do you have any reasonable explanation?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Is there any reasonable explanation other than “Is there some misunderstanding here?”
The implication of accountability is quite obvious!

Thinking of this, many people looked at Yang Mo with some concern. This man is a big leader, if he doesn't handle it properly, the consequences will be unpredictable!
Unexpectedly, Yang Mo did not look nervous at all. He did not admit his mistake on the spot in panic, nor did he turn off the microphone and lean over to explain to Kuai Hua in a low voice.

Looking calmly at Director Feng, who still looked unwilling and indignant, Yang Mo turned on the microphone and said, "Although it is a pity, not including the Dezhou Capacitor Factory in the first batch of key support list is a decision made after repeated considerations."

After saying this to everyone's surprise, Yang Mo said calmly, "As for the explanation... Minister Zhang, please explain the reason to everyone."

Zhang Wenshun, the part-time director of the Urban Property Fund Investment Management Department, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids after hearing Yang Mo's gentle yet rebellious instructions.

Nima!

You little brat, now that you have power, you have become so arrogant that you don't even give face to anyone, right?
If I say a few soft words first, it will kill people!
Also, if you’re looking for death, don’t drag me into it!
But the arrow was on the string and he had no choice but to shoot it. He could only sigh silently, and then select a thick document from the bulging briefcase he carried with him.

“Although it may be emotionally unacceptable, after careful background checks and three rounds of investment research and analysis, we do believe that the Dezhou capacitor factory and MLCC project may be included in the list of key supported enterprises in the fifth or even seventh round of the Urban Real Estate Fund in two or three years... But from any perspective, it is absolutely impossible for it to appear in the first batch of key support lists!”

After all, the fat guy is also a decisive person. Even if he has a lot of complaints about Yang Mo's previous words and deeds, when he really needs to stand up, his performance is three times more excessive than Yang Mo.

Although the words used are full of words such as "maybe emotionally unacceptable" and "regret", if you only look at the fat man's cold and slightly contemptuous expression, it clearly says "What the hell is this!"

Director Feng, who was a technical person, was angered by Zhang Wenshun's expression: "Minister Zhang, may I ask how your company conducts background checks and analysis... I am all ears!"

Zhang Wenshun forced out a smile that looked festive at first glance, but turned out to be somewhat hollow upon closer inspection: "Okay, as you wish!"

PS. Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

Today I was carrying glutinous rice and making rice dumplings. I was almost exhausted. Unfortunately, my stomach is not very lucky. I will have stomach acid if I eat too much glutinous food.

Hey ~
If you don't say anything, you will be tears if you say too much.

That’s all for today.
