1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 49 Oh my, who told us Qilu people to be straight? (2)

Unlike private enterprises, state-owned enterprises have never been a one-man show.

In fact, even the CEOs and chairmen of large private companies in later generations cannot follow through on their words, let alone state-owned enterprises such as drilling companies?
Sun Jian once said that due to some complicated reasons, in the minds of many people in the drilling company, "Southwest Drilling Company is a drilling company for southwestern people" is the final bottom line.

But the unfortunate thing is that the current manager Wang is from Shanghai - as mentioned earlier, although the members of the drilling company are mainly from the three southwestern provinces, some are also from Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they are basically all veteran backbones.

Although it is not clear why Manager Wang was able to stand out in the extremely fierce competition, the problems this brings are also obvious.

It's just that there are still three pounds of nails in a rotten boat. Although some things are not worth telling to outsiders, as the head of the company, it is not surprising that Manager Wang has several departments that he can trust.

Among them, the general manager's office of the direct jurisdiction is the first to bear the brunt...

………………

After apologizing, Secretary Xie naturally sat in the middle of the left side of the conference table, right next to Qin Xin.

This location is quite mysterious.

Generally speaking, the host party sits on the right side of the conference table, while the guest party sits on the left side of the table; the person with the highest level sits in the middle, and the rest of the people sit on both sides of the host seat in the order of left-right-left-right.

Therefore, before Secretary Xie arrived, Section Chief Xiang, the home team leader, sat in the middle of the right side of the conference table, Section Chief He and Director Zhang sat next to him on the left and right, while the "away team" Qin Xin sat on the right side of the left side of the conference table, corresponding to Director Zhang according to his title - as for Yang Mo, he consciously sat in the position closest to the edge.

But when Secretary Xie arrived, he sat in the middle of the left side of the conference table, opposite Section Chief Xiang, which undoubtedly made clear his purpose - he came to listen to the meeting on behalf of Manager Wang. Otherwise, a mere secretary, no matter how great his hidden power was, would not have the qualifications to sit opposite a powerful section chief in such a meeting.

After a few casual greetings, Secretary Xie took the tea handed over by the staff, thanked them, and then apologized to the three department heads opposite: "Boss Wang heard that you were meeting to learn about the successful experience of the diversified development research group. He was very happy, so he simply sent me here to listen and learn, so that I can summarize and report to him afterwards... To be honest, if he was not really busy, Boss Wang would have come here by himself... Don't blame me for interrupting the progress of the meeting! Don't blame me!"

Hearing the other party's unabashed attitude, Director He laughed and said, "Secretary Xie, you are too polite. What's the point of holding a meeting? We old guys just have nothing to do at the end of the year, so we get together to chat under the pretext of learning advanced experience... In fact, even if Secretary Xie didn't come, we would have compiled the minutes of the meeting into materials and submitted them to Manager Wang for review... Secretary Xie must have suffered a lot by coming here. You young people must be sleepy listening to the chatter of us old guys."

Secretary Xie couldn't help feeling annoyed when he heard the other party always address him as "Manager Wang", even though he already knew the cause and effect.

Huh~
Materials compiled from meeting minutes?
That stuff is all written in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period. It's of no use to us!
He laughed out loud, "Boss Wang has always taught us that we should learn more from the seniors in the company whenever we have the chance. The three leaders' casual advice is enough for us, the newcomers, to benefit from for the rest of our lives. How could we be sleepy? This is a blessing that many people would beg for!"

Secretary Xie said with a smile on his face: "Of course, President Wang is also very interested in the projects that several leaders are planning to plan and report... You know, everyone's eyes are on overseas right now, and several leaders are confident that they can revitalize the company's tertiary industry projects by relying on domestic demand without violating the spirit of the document. This is really not something that ordinary people can do!"

Upon hearing this, Section Chief He and Section Chief Xiang's faces suddenly turned very ugly. Even Director Zhang couldn't help but frown.

Throughout the 1980s, due to the lack of self-liquidity in the market and the low proportion of urban population, export became almost the only way for most ordinary domestic enterprises to quickly generate income;

After the then Prime Minister of the Cabinet formally proposed the "Coastal Economic Development Strategy" in 1987, coastal provinces like Shandong and Qi were even more eager to carve out a niche for themselves overseas.

In fact, after deciding to start with the tertiary industry project, the three department heads immediately thought of the general direction of foreign trade. Although the original slogan was "Mu Liya is responsible for external affairs, and they are responsible for internal affairs", who can't do some tricks? Isn't it enough to find an intermediary unit to transfer it? But Secretary Xie's words were undoubtedly equivalent to conveying a message to them on behalf of Manager Wang:

Since you are determined to find a breakthrough in the tertiary industry project...

Okay! Due to the company's voting mechanism and the fact that you guys got the upper hand, I accept it!
However, since you guys are advocating the slogan "Manager Mu is in charge of external affairs, and you are in charge of internal affairs", please don't leave any loopholes.

Once I find out that you have even the slightest sign of being "outward-looking"...

Sorry, don’t blame me for not giving you face!
But if that were all, Director He and the others wouldn't have looked so grim.

There is something in this world called "related party transactions".

Even if they are not allowed to get involved in foreign trade, if it is just for the purpose of making cases, they are not unable to come up with a few "star projects" by piling up resources - everyone knows that Director Zhang's choice to start with the tertiary industry project is nothing more than his intention to defeat the enemy.

but,

When the words "without violating the spirit of the document" came out of Secretary Xie's mouth, they knew... this method would not work.

They all knew what this "document" was, and they had not forgotten what the main content of it was.

"Give full play to the leading role of key enterprises, create an appropriate environment for private enterprises, and guide the market economy in an orderly manner" ... the document can be summarized in just these few words.

Although in many cases, this kind of top-level document does not actually have any substantive binding force, but if it is placed in the current environment, this document will definitely become a sword in Manager Wang's hand, and no one will be able to resist it.

………………

The atmosphere in the conference room was terribly silent. Just as this rather important discussion was about to become a farce with a strong start but a weak finish...

A chuckle came: "Thanks to the leaders for being so generous, why don't we let our General Office take the lead... In fact, our Director Zhang has already put forward his own ideas on the selection and development of next year's tertiary industry projects yesterday... But Director Zhang has a sore throat today, so please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. Next, I will speak for Director Zhang... I hope the leaders will not hesitate to correct me!"

Seeing this guy jumping out at this moment without knowing the consequences, not only Secretary Xie, but even Section Chief He and Section Chief Xiang almost jumped up.

They turned their eyes to Director Zhang and found that although he looked suspicious, he did not say anything to object. They immediately became suspicious...

Although Xintai Management Company is a marginal department, it is directly under the company, so their data is confidential. Even they just learned a general idea from Qin Xin - how did Director Zhang come up with the guidance yesterday?
Yang Mo ignored the expressions on Director He and Director Xiang's faces. When he saw Director Zhang nodded at him imperceptibly, he smiled and then, as if he had changed into a different person, he looked around slowly and spoke slowly...
