1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 513 Do you know how many disciplines you have violated?

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, although some companies were still on holiday, most companies had already started work.

Since it is the first day of spring, it stands to reason that any company should announce this year's strategic plan, talent plan and business plan at a high-level meeting in addition to a general staff meeting.

However, as another giant enterprise after Dahua Company in DZ City, Dezhou Urban Development Fund Company is not like this.

At a high-level meeting, Yang Mo, the company's general manager, was asked about this year's strategic plan and only gave two simple sentences:
1. Cooperate with the local competent authorities of DZ City to spend the special funds in the urban construction account on the urban construction projects that should be spent;
2. Continue to unremittingly promote the industrial and technological upgrading of DZ City's industry and manufacturing industry.

then……

It's gone.

When asked by members of the Strategic Committee about this year's business plan, Yang Mo's answer was extremely brief: continue to unswervingly promote the light and heavy industrial product exchange plan, and for the rest, act according to circumstances and adapt to circumstances.

It is obvious that this guy has not formulated a specific business plan at all.

This was very difficult to accept for the strategic committee members who were drawn from administrative and production units.

What kind of company doesn’t even have a business plan? Isn’t this too ridiculous?
However, Yang Mo explained that the Urban Real Estate Fund Company is a financial platform that focuses on large fund management. In essence, it is a strategic investment company. Investment companies and manufacturing companies are certainly two different things, and strategic investment companies and ordinary financial investment companies are also two different things. Under the premise of not pursuing the book return on investment, the Urban Real Estate Fund Company will not desperately participate in investment for the sake of book profits, nor will it blindly complete the task of raising funds and investing when the conditions are not mature or there is a lack of strategic value.

Therefore, although the words "adapt to circumstances" may sound a bit trifling, they are actually the attitude that a strategic investment company with a business nature should have, and are also a necessary part of building the self-sustaining power of an urban real estate fund company.

Although this explanation sounds reasonable, and Yang Mo's words are also very serious and sincere; but everyone understands that the reason why this guy did not formulate a specific business plan is probably to further control the absolute voice of the Urban Property Fund Company.

The reason is simple. When all the plans about what direction a company should go, what it should do and when, as well as how to do it specifically to ensure that this company walking on the tightrope does not fall, are all in one person's mind, no matter how reluctant you are, you can only obey this person's arrangements in every detail.

Yang Mo's past impressive record shows that he is qualified to be the helmsman; he is also qualified not to tell anyone else any of his plans and ideas in the name of confidentiality and risk control.

Upon realizing this, everyone's mood became somewhat depressed;

Faced with this little monster with frighteningly high "qualifications", the "democratic centralism" and "giving full play to the role of the collective", which had been tried and tested, were completely useless;
Therefore, as long as Yang Mo does not fail, and as long as the results he delivers can meet the organization's expectations of him, these senior executives who are titled "members of the Strategic Committee" will have no way to deal with him.

Therefore, even if Yang Mo directly nominated a director of Dahua Company's legal and compliance department as assistant to the general manager in the next talent plan, and irresponsibly handed over the subsequent talent introduction and training plans to the new general assistant, no one present dared to vote against it.

There's no way. Yang Mo is well-known for being willful and strong. Strong people are usually petty. If you dare to offend him, he will definitely have a hundred ways to make things difficult for you in your future work.

………………

"Old Yang, I'm not saying you... you really should change the way you work!"

Party Secretary Zhao Yongde, while trying to please him, took out the Baihuatan that he had asked someone to bring from the state-owned tea forest in southern Yunnan some time ago, and looked at his excessively young work partner in front of him with earnest words.

"Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company is a company on the surface, but everyone knows that our company, which is under the name of central-local integration, has a strong business nature."

Zhao Yongde pried the strange seven-piece pancake awkwardly and paused, "No, in fact, as the city's financial problems became more and more obvious, Lao Yang, you used the company as collateral to help them raise several funds. Everyone agrees that... nowadays, the city property fund company, in addition to being a business, actually has an increasingly obvious administrative color!"

Clumsily throwing a piece of broken tea into the purple clay teapot he brought with him, Zhao Yongde's tone was full of embarrassment: "Old Yang, you should be very clear about the management requirements and practices of the organization for the supervisors of public institutions; what's more, the current urban real estate fund company actually has some administrative colors, so there are some things you should pay more attention to."

According to convention, ordinary regular workers in public institutions are on the public institution staff, while the main leaders, especially the top two leaders, are definitely on the administrative staff.

This is quite different from the state-owned enterprise system. Even though it is still in the stage where government and enterprises are inseparable, generally speaking, unless you are the main person in charge of a type of state-owned enterprise, or the top one or two leaders of a local leading state-owned enterprise, even if you have reached the level of Mr. Wang, you are still a public servant. Some cadres of local state-owned enterprises are not even public servants, but are just corporate employees who are regarded as "outside the system."

Although there sounds little difference between the public service and administrative positions, and in fact the public service positions of some central enterprises are far more popular than the local administrative positions, there is a world of difference in terms of management requirements.

So, what Zhao Yongde meant by his words just now is that although you, Yang Mo, are nominally still a division-level cadre in the public service system, in fact, the organization has long regarded you as an administrative official... Otherwise, do you think that a division-level cadre in a central enterprise is qualified to wear a Zhongshan suit?

Yang silently looked at the work partner in front of him who seemed to be willing to be open-hearted with him. For a moment, he was not sure whether he was expressing his inclination or it was purely a work habit. He just smiled and looked at him without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Yongde couldn't help but sigh: "Old Yang, I know that you have only been working for a little over three years, and you have been hanging around in the circle of central enterprises, so you may not have a sufficient understanding of the regulations of the administrative system."

"Let me put it this way. For various reasons, the organization is actually more tolerant of cadres in the state-owned enterprise sector, but the requirements for cadres in the administrative sector are much stricter... Whether it is the requirements for personal life discipline, or the requirements for organizational discipline, integrity discipline, mass discipline, and work discipline, they are much stricter!"

At this point, Zhao Yongde picked up the kettle and poured some water into the De Zhong kettle, which looked quite old, and waited quietly for the tea to soften. "There are hundreds of these requirements, which are too numerous to mention in one go. But what I want to tell you is... if no one investigates further, it's fine. But if someone really takes it seriously, your behavior today alone has violated several management regulations!"

"If someone really makes a fuss about these things... Old Yang, I'm afraid you'll be in a state of panic!"

Yang Mo naturally knew what the "if" the party group secretary was talking about was. Although the cause and effect of his long-standing strong style had long been to the point where he was not afraid of being bitten by lice, he still couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old Zhao, I don't know, what regulations have I, the general manager, violated again?"

As Zhao Yongde said, he has been working in the central enterprise system for the past three years. Even though he has close contacts with the competent authorities of DZ City, they are basically all business dealings. In addition, in his previous life, as a VC, he was more involved in the business circle. Therefore, he can't say that he knows much about the management regulations and specific dimensions of the administrative system.

Hearing Yang Mo ask this, and deliberately emphasizing his identity as the general manager, Zhao Yongde couldn't help but look helpless: "Old Yang, if we were a private enterprise or even a state-owned enterprise with a factory director in charge, then you as the general manager would naturally have the power to decide life and death, and your words would be yours... But we are essentially a business unit!"

As he spoke, Zhao Yongde poured out the first cup of tea, without even adding water, and began to count with his fingers: "First of all, you arbitrarily cancelled the formulation of the company's strategic plan and business plan for this year without the approval of the board of directors or the strategic committee. This is a clear violation of the rules of procedure. Letting an individual or a few people decide on major issues... is a serious violation of organizational discipline."

"Secondly, before you made this decision, you didn't even inform me, the party group secretary, and I was kept in the dark until today... This is not in accordance with relevant regulations or work requirements to report major issues and important matters to the organization; it is also a serious violation of organizational discipline;"

"Also, you did not follow the normal personnel procedures today, and on the spot, as the general manager, you forcibly appointed Zhuo Mali to such an important management position as the general manager's assistant... This is favoritism in matters such as job promotion and salary distribution. At the same time, you are putting on airs and have a serious bureaucratic style. Both are serious violations of mass discipline!"

"In addition, you promoted Zhuo Mali directly to assistant general manager in front of all the members of the strategic committee at such an important high-level meeting of the company's strategic research meeting. You also made the mistake of using team meetings and other meetings to replace the party committee (general branch meeting, branch committee) to study the appointment and removal of corporate cadres. This is a serious violation of the discipline of selecting people in the work discipline!"

"Finally, you handed over the talent plan that was supposed to be discussed at the meeting to the assistant general manager who had not yet officially taken office. This is a sign of absence from work, laziness, and poor implementation of the [three major and one important] decision-making system... This is a serious violation of the implementation of the [two responsibilities] in work discipline!"

At this point, Zhao Yongde looked at Yang Mo, whose expression was still not serious, and sighed heavily: "Forget it, since the first day that Dezhou Urban Property Fund Company was listed, if you really look into it, Old Yang, you have violated at least 28 management regulations, if not 30. Even today, you violated more than the five I just mentioned... In short, you should be more restrained. If you can change it, try to change your working style!"

Yang Mo knocked on the table lightly to urge the tea, but his face was full of helplessness: "I don't want to do this, but... there is no other way!"

Zhao Yongde picked up the kettle and filled it with water while trying to control his expression. He only dared to show a little dissatisfaction: "Old Yang, look at what you said... What do you mean you can't do anything?"

"Our Urban Property Fund Company shoulders the expectations of the organization. The members of each department are all experienced elites drawn from a number of units. With so many talents, I don't ask you to be fair before you are familiar with their abilities and areas of expertise. But as the general manager, can't you even be open and fair at work?"

Like everyone else, Zhao Yongde, who was born in the 1950s, was very disgusted with Yang Mo's domineering style at work due to the era.

But as the party secretary, there are some things he cannot say too harshly;

The special nature of the Urban Property Fund Company and Yang Mo did not allow him to speak too harshly.

Therefore, facing such a troublesome work partner, his only solution is to take it slow... At the very least, let Yang Mo try to be fair and open in his work. At least he can't let everyone be kept in the dark, right?

In fact, Zhao Yongde's request was not excessive. After all, it was unreasonable to leave his subordinates in the dark. However, Yang Mo shook his head gently: "Old Zhao, believe me, it's not that I don't want to do my work in a fair and open manner, but... the current situation does not allow me to do things such as strategic plans and annual business plans in a fair and open manner."

As he spoke, Yang Mo sighed softly: "Even things like talent plans are not suitable to be made public now... In fact, all these plans are in my mind, but it is really inconvenient to release them now."

Zhao Yongde couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Old Yang, we are work partners. Let's talk about our innermost feelings behind closed doors... I know you are used to being obeyed, and I also know that you want to gain enough initiative and voice, but... this is not how you fight for initiative!" Yang Mo glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "Old Zhao, do you really think I am doing this just to gain enough voice in the company?"

Zhao Yongde's eyes looked a little strange, but the smile on his face did not diminish: "Of course I believe that you are not such a person, Lao Yang."

Yang Mo sighed, but his expression became slightly sarcastic: "Old Zhao, you just said that the people in the Urban Property Fund Company are all elites drawn from various units, and they are all extremely experienced elites... This is true."

"But the problem is that, precisely because they have so much social experience, I dare not disclose to them in advance the various plans that the company has scheduled for this year."

When Zhao Yongde heard Yang Mo emphasize the word "social experience", he suddenly thought: "Old Yang, what do you mean...?"

Yang Mo nodded: "Dezhou Urban Construction Fund Company is not a bank that follows the orders of the local competent authorities; the operation of urban construction investment and industrial funds is not simply raising funds and lending;"

"I can tell you responsibly that with the current depth of the social capital pool in Texas and the actual situation of various industries, at least in terms of industrial upgrading, we are standing on a wire rope and chopping down a big tree with a small axe... It is extremely difficult, arduous and dangerous. A seemingly insignificant mistake can result in all our previous efforts being wasted at best, or even falling to pieces!"

After stressing the dangers faced by the seemingly prosperous Dezhou Urban Property Fund, Yang Mo asked a rather heart-piercing question without caring whether he believed it or not: "Old Zhao, I heard that you have been working for nearly 20 years, and have been working in the system all the time. I believe you have seen a lot and are familiar with all kinds of messy things."

"So, I just have one question for you..."

"Since the people transferred to the various departments of the Urban Property Fund Company are all elites with rich experience and abundant social resources in their original units, if they learn that their well-funded unit is planning to build a large shopping mall at any cost in a relatively remote shantytown renovation area in the city this year, what do you think they will do besides their normal work?"

Zhao Yongde naturally knew what Yang Mo was asking. His face was a little stiff. After pondering for a while, he spoke with some difficulty: "Then they will probably ask their friends to find connections. Before the news spreads, they will buy a shabby house with the greatest appreciation potential in the shantytown according to the location marked on the planning map, and then try their best to expand it, or directly build it into two and a half floors, so as to get more compensation when it is demolished."

This happened in the urban area, in a shantytown redevelopment area that was in full view of everyone.

If it was in a relatively remote suburb, and it was not a shopping mall but a public facility, then they could just call a group of people, and temporarily build a simple cotton-tiled house, or plant a large area of ​​unknown medicinal herbs or green plants, then...

Thinking of the endless tricks used on Qiong Island, Zhao Yongde felt a chill in his heart.

The tricks that are overused in later generations are nothing but the remnants of this era.

Seeing that Zhao Yongde was not playing dumb, Yang Mo nodded imperceptibly: "What if someone knew in advance that the company would invest hundreds of millions this year to integrate related companies in DZ City and fully support the development of the color TV assembly manufacturing industry?"

Hearing Yang Mo deliberately emphasize that it was "color TV assembly manufacturing industry" instead of "color TV manufacturing industry", Zhao Yongde immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Then... there is a high probability that someone will use their connections to buy and hoard local, provincial, and even Guangzhou picture tubes through loans from Dezhou banks, private fundraising, or even private bridge loans, and then wait until the relevant companies in Dezhou are reorganized before selling them at a high price."

This was a bold move that was used repeatedly in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shekou and other places in the late 1980s, and it always worked... Who said that the quality and lifespan of color TV picture tubes in China are not up to standard, and large quantities of imports are still needed, resulting in supply exceeding demand in the relevant market?
Of course, Texas does not have a color TV production base, nor a complete color TV industry chain, and has never planned to develop a color TV manufacturing industry, so he knows that Yang Mo was just giving an example.

But the problem is that this method can be applied to many industries. Although DZ City does not have the plan and conditions to develop the color TV industry, what if it is not color TV, but the refrigeration equipment manufacturing industry?
Don’t forget that DZ City has a strong demand for cold chain. If the Urban Development Fund Company wants to support an industrial field, refrigeration equipment will definitely be one of the popular ones. However, domestic compressors still need to be imported in large quantities!
If the Urban Property Fund Company really uses the big fund account to support the refrigeration equipment manufacturing industry, and if someone knows the news in advance and makes such a big move on the compressor, unless the Urban Property Fund changes its course, the actual increase in investment losses will at least be calculated in billions!
Yang Mo saw sweat starting to form on his forehead and smiled softly, "Social capital absorption, light and heavy industrial product gold warehouse and payment, planned investment in important projects above Class B, bidding for supporting projects around Class A projects, various small field support incubation plans and incentive allocations, etc., etc. ... Lao Zhao, believe it or not, as long as the information is released two or three months in advance, these people will definitely be able to accurately hit the key nodes of the plan and make things happen, and even give you a perfect shell."

At this point, Yang Mo took a sip of the fragrant yet wild Baihuatan, with an indescribable indifference in his tone: "If they are just a group of rookies who have just walked out of the campus, then today I will definitely tell them all the strategic ideas and annual business plans, and then break them down and let them know clearly every intention of mine... To put it bluntly, even if a hundred rookies have evil intentions, the damage they can cause is just that."

"But these people are elites who have worked hard in society for more than ten or twenty years... and each of them can mobilize a large amount of social resources;"

"Ha~"

"Old Zhao, the greater the ability, the greater the destructive power. They are all thousand-year-old human spirits and ten-thousand-year-old monsters. Do you think I dare to spread the word and reveal my veins right away, and then give them enough time to prepare?"

Zhao Yongde had an indescribable embarrassment on his face: "Old Yang, you think too badly of me. We are all comrades in the same trench..."

He was halfway through his words when he saw the sneer in Yang Mo's eyes and couldn't go on any further.

For some things, it's okay to fool those hot-blooded rookies; but everyone is a fox in human skin, so don't talk big.

In the past, everyone pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth. If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t know.
But since Yang Mo has already broken the window paper, it would be pointless for you to still pretend to be pure.

He really wanted to say that not everyone was like this, it was just a few bad apples that spoiled the whole barrel, and the organization attached great importance to the Urban Property Fund Company. Anyone who could be transferred here had been carefully selected, so there would be even fewer bad apples.

But less bad luck does not mean there is no bad luck. Even if he had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to guarantee that there will be no problems with these people in the Urban Property Fund Company.

You have to know that Yang Mo has just clearly pointed out how huge the destructive power these elite monsters can cause if they have evil intentions;
In fact, once these people have evil thoughts, they should not be described as "one", but "a nest" should be used as the quantifier... After struggling in the society for more than ten or twenty years, and hanging around in the system, who the hell doesn't have a bunch of relatives and friends behind him?
Yang Mo actually used the words "standing on a tightrope and chopping down a big tree with a small axe" to describe the challenges faced by the Urban Development Fund Company. This shows how serious the situation is, to the point where this public financing platform and strategic investment company is not allowed to make any major mistakes.

Although he didn't quite understand why Yang Mo thought the actual situation of the Urban Development Fund Company was so serious, since Yang Mo said this to him as the party secretary, he had to believe it.

This young man's record is so impressive that no one has the courage to question his strategic insight.
His identity as the party secretary also means that General Manager Yang Mo has the right to keep some things to himself when talking to his work partner, but once he says them, they will basically be true.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yongde just felt that his head was very big, as big as two heads.

"Okay, Lao Yang, I respect your idea, but... can you give me, the Party Secretary, a general idea of ​​our company's talent plan this year?"

Zhao Yongde remembered the words that the organization had repeatedly reminded him of before he took office, and finally took a step back: "You are on guard against the people below, but you can't be on guard against me, the party group secretary, right? Besides, the nature of the Urban Property Fund Company is special, and the personnel decisions of many positions need to be discussed and decided by the party committee group. If you don't say anything, it will be difficult for me to carry out my work!"

Those who have worked as HR in large companies know that "talent plan" is just a general term. In addition to the most basic recruitment of new employees, there are also promotions of middle and grassroots cadres, job adjustments, the introduction of special talents, secondment and exchange of talents from external units, training and incubation of talents in the system, cultivation and training of key talents, etc., etc.

As Zhao Yongde said, among these numerous plans, aspects such as the promotion of middle-level cadres, the introduction of special talents, the training of key talents, and personnel adjustments in core positions need to be discussed and coordinated through the Organization Department, which is managed by the Party Committee Group. Therefore, if Yang Mo does not reveal any information, it will be difficult for Zhao Yongde to carry out various preparatory and coordination work without any preparation.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mo lowered his head and pondered for a while. The time was so long that even Zhao Yongde, the party secretary who had the power to control the general manager in organizational principles, felt a little scared. He was afraid that the other party would say "no comment" in the end. If so, when he reported to the organization, he would be too passive and too embarrassed.

But fortunately, as the organization said, Yang Mo is a donkey. As long as you treat him well and stroke his fur, he generally won't embarrass you.

"Old Zhao, this De Zhong teapot of yours was used to brew green tea, right?"

"Hmm, let me guess... Mainly Sunshine Green Tea?"

After nearly three minutes of silence, Yang Mo smiled and finally spoke, but the topic seemed a little off topic.

Zhao Yongde also laughed, and then gave a thumbs up generously: "I didn't realize that you are quite familiar with tea despite your young age, Old Yang... That's right, the most popular tea in this pot was Rizhao Green Tea."

Yang Mo nodded gently: "No wonder, the taste is mixed... It's a pity to lose such a good Baihuatan."

As he spoke, Yang Mo drank the tea in the cup in front of him, then stood up and said, "Old Zhao, you know that you can't use a purple clay teapot to brew tea randomly. A teapot can only brew one type of tea, or even better, a teapot can only brew one type of tea. Otherwise, after a while, the teapot will become fixed, and the taste of brewing other teas will be weird."

After that, Yang Mo smiled and waved his hand: "I will send you a new teapot in two days, the kind that has never been opened. Since you can accept the taste of Pu'er raw tea and even the wild charm of Baihuatan... then keep the teapot sent by then for brewing Baihuatan tea."

After saying this, he said hello, opened the door and went back to his office.

Zhao Yongde looked at the door that was deliberately left a crack and not closed tightly, with a strange expression on his face.

Give me a new pot?
Or just keep the new pot for brewing tea at Baihuatan?
This guy……

This was the case before at Dahua Company, and it is still the case now at Urban Development Fund Company.

Does this guy really not trust those backbones transferred from various units...?
