1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 570 This style of painting is right (1)

Even after the initial organizational streamlining, the Dongying Command still has 21 second-level units, 185 third-level units, and 1292 fourth-level units. This does not include those tertiary units that are not included in the statistics because they have no establishment. This shows how huge its scale is.

Therefore, Yang Mo's application was approved at the meeting just three days after it was submitted.

There was no way. Even if someone had some ideas in mind, they would not dare to come out and play a counter-play in front of this huge thunderbolt that the Ministry had already issued a document on, involving the diversion of 200,000 employees. They would not dare to take the risk of Mu Siyuan casually saying "then you take over" and take over this extremely hot yam.
Moreover, there seems to be nothing wrong with the suggestion put forward by Yang Mo. Solving the problem of employee diversion and resettlement is indeed not a linear process. In the middle, there will be objective ups and downs in the acceptance capacity according to the incubation status of each investment project. Therefore, from an overall perspective, reducing and controlling the production and operation costs of each second, third, and fourth-level unit, and enhancing the hematopoietic capacity of each tertiary project, and improving the per capita efficiency and sustainability of each second-level unit can indeed buy Dahua Company some breathing time, thereby ensuring the smooth implementation of the subsequent employee diversion work.

However, even though reducing and controlling production and operating costs would involve a lot of troublesome problems, most of the heads of second- and third-tier units did not take the special work guidance group sent by Dahua Company seriously, or they had a clear mentality of taking chances.

After all, the one leading the team this time is not Yang Mo, the notorious ruthless man. There are so many units at all levels under the command of the headquarters, and many third-level units have their own independent financial accounting rights. Just the special working guidance group with a total of more than 30 people is responsible for reducing costs and guiding the operation of tertiary industry projects. Even if it is the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, how many units can it mess with?

It's just that I heard that the actual person in charge of this special work steering group is their deputy team leader, and he is still a young man. Although I heard that this guy has a very good personal relationship with Yang Mo, not every young person can be as talented as Yang Mo. If you are unlucky enough to meet the special work steering group coming to your home to guide the work, then as long as you don't make too much trouble, everything will be fine as the fat guy whose title is said to be only deputy section level.

It can’t cause much of a storm!

………………

6 month 26 day.

A secondary unit in Zhuangxi.

Even though it was already half past eight in the evening, the lights were still on in a teahouse that didn't look very conspicuous from the outside.

A middle-aged man in his fifties looked at the three information bags in front of him with an unnatural expression. His eyes, slightly red from the stimulation of alcohol, did not show much drunkenness, but his pupils seemed to be as small as needles, with a sense of helplessness.

There aren't actually that many things in the three information bags in front of me.

It was nothing more than a list of equipment and consumables with two lines of price pairs, a document bound together from dozens of account information and bank statements... plus a copy of "Observations and Suggestions on Implementing the Plan to Reduce Staff and Increase Efficiency and Arranging the Redeployment and Resettlement of XX Unit's Employees in the Fourth Quarter of 1991" with several underlined spaces still blank.

The Dongying Command has its own objective situation. If any of the information here is released, the young man and the other work partners who are not present today are not afraid. At most, they can be transferred to other units for a transition of three to five years, and then return to their positions after the situation calms down. Who knows, they can turn a disaster into a blessing at that time;
But if these three documents were released at the same time, he and his work partners would be in big trouble... Especially the last "Suggestion". If there is an extra zero in the number on the horizontal line above, he might need to learn to speak again in three to five years.

He had no doubt that the numbers filled in this "Suggestion" would be the same as those that appeared in subsequent documents. Dahua Company was the main body of the staff diversion and resettlement work on the command side, and the headquarters must seriously consider the quota suggestions they gave... Besides, the person currently in charge of the work of reducing staff and increasing efficiency was Mu Siyuan, and there was no reason for him to easily reject the list submitted by his son-in-law.

Zhang Jianjun, who was also drinking Erma Erma, grinned, with a second-generation rich man's expression on his face: "Uncle Chang, although my nephew has been working in the asset management department of Linpan Oilfield for a few years, it was all nonsense. I ate a lot of beer and barbecue, but I still don't know anything about business. I can't tell whether the things handed over by the subordinates are reliable. So... Uncle Chang, can you help me judge?"

After saying that, he pushed the two file bags in front of him towards the middle-aged man who was rounder than himself, with a clear and foolish look of a man who had not experienced much of the world.

The middle-aged man surnamed Chang looked at him with a little surprise: "Xiao Zhang, this is the information about our unit. Let me help you take a look? Is this...appropriate?"

Zhang Jianjun waved his hand without any intention: "Uncle Chang, what are you talking about? You and my dad were classmates in the third business training class!"

"Although you and my dad were classmates for a short time, only three months, and we didn't talk much at that time, but my dad is very close to you, Uncle Chang... It's just that my dad is like this, a pure taciturn person, and he won't easily tell others if he has something to say, so you don't know it, Uncle Chang."

After a burp, Zhang Jianjun showed a shameless expression that only close nephews would show: "My father told me repeatedly when I came out this time that when I arrived in Zhuangxi, I must consult Uncle Chang on everything. I should take this precious opportunity to learn from you... So, since there are no outsiders around, I came to ask Uncle Chang for advice on some business issues, right?"

At this point, Zhang Jianjun blinked his eyes, his drunken eyes full of grievances: "Uncle Chang, you don't know that those people in the team are all elites transferred from Dahua Company. They are all arrogant. If I, the deputy team leader who knows nothing, don't borrow your mouth to come up with some real materials, I really can't shut up their stinky mouths, so... Uncle Chang, please!"

Looking at the harmless little fat boy in front of him, clasping his hands together pitifully and asking him for help, Chang Zhongliang felt a chill down his spine.

Are today's young people so amazing?

He made such a threatening move so subtle and humble, and even gave you a huge favor. How can we old guys deal with this?
Are all the team members the elites of Dahua Company who are arrogant and look down on others?
Isn't it difficult to shut up the people below?
Want to ask me for advice?

Can you lend me some real information?

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
You are cruel enough!
Although he had a premonition that this wave of heavy bleeding was inevitable, Chang Zhongliang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

What he feared most was the reckless and tough behavior of Dahua Company during the surprise audit in Texas, but now it seems...

Well, he is indeed worthy of being the next generation cultivated by the oil system. Compared with the reckless man like Yang Mo, this little fat guy doesn't seem to be an easy person to deal with, but it seems that he still has a sense of the overall situation when doing things.

Thinking of this, Chang Zhongliang looked at Zhang Jianjun with an angry look, but also a hint of appreciation: "Xiao Zhang, Uncle Chang is too generous to call you nephew." After coughing lightly, Chang Zhongliang's expression was full of righteousness and sternness: "My nephew, it is the job of the special work guidance group to find out the current situation of production and operation costs in our Zhuangxi area and come up with improvement plans. There is an official document from the headquarters. Unless it is in a formal occasion, it is really inconvenient for me, Uncle Chang, to directly comment on this material."

"It's just that, my dear nephew, you know that after all, we are a production unit that only knows how to work hard. The people there are relatively honest and straightforward, and have little contact with the outside world. It is inevitable that we were deceived by those unscrupulous equipment suppliers and spent more money when purchasing. "

"Moreover, the workers at the grass-roots level are usually rough and uneducated, and their irregular operations have always been a headache. We have conducted several business training sessions in the whole factory, but the results have not been good. Therefore, it is normal that more consumables are wasted in the production process and the equipment damage rate is higher... In addition, you are also aware of the current state of the relationship between local workers and farmers in our oil units. With such a big piece of fat meat here, whether it is crude oil, diesel, cement or those messy production materials such as drill bits and steel pipes, the high accidental damage rate is really frustrating."

At this point, Chang Zhongliang looked helpless: "We have our own frustrations, but the problem is... those experts in your special work guidance group are just busy checking the accounts. If they don't consider the actual situation at the grassroots level here, and only take the figures they have calculated as the standard, then even if I have ten mouths, I can't explain it clearly without looking at these materials."

Sighing heavily, Chang Zhongliang looked at Zhang Jianjun earnestly and said, "My dear nephew, you are also from the oil production plant. You should know that numbers are fixed and the actual situation is complicated and changeable. So Uncle Chang does not ask for anything else. I only ask that you, my dear nephew, consider our friendship as classmates and explain the situation to General Manager Yang and the leaders of the working group at the appropriate time. Give Uncle Chang a basic innocence, and I, Uncle Chang, will be very grateful."

Zhang Jianjun nodded in understanding: "Uncle Chang is right. Many unexpected situations at the grassroots level are not convenient to describe directly in words. If we simply use those numbers as a reference, I think no unit can escape accountability."

After a slight pause, Zhang Jianjun sighed again: "But there are some situations that we, who come from the grassroots of production units, understand very well, but those guys from Dahua Company who only deal with numbers and business all day long and know nothing about oil production don't know. Moreover, it is difficult for us to explain. Once we explain, it is easy to enter the inquiry phase according to the process of the special work guidance group... I am afraid that the more detailed the questions are, the more misunderstandings there will be!"

Chang Zhongliang, who was used to the method of suppressing first and then praising, glanced at the fat boy in front of him without revealing his true feelings. He knew that the drama was about to begin, but his face showed a worried look: "Yes, I am worried about this too. Different trades are like different mountains. The more you explain, the less clear it will be... So, my dear nephew, you have a flexible mind. Can you help Uncle Chang think about it and see if there is any way to clear up the misunderstanding?"

Zhang Jianjun smiled after understanding the implication in Chang Zhongliang's words, pretended to think about it, and then slapped his thigh: "Got it! These people are checking the current status of production and operating costs. The most important indicator is the comprehensive input-output ratio. As long as the factory's book revenue is raised and this indicator is basically controlled, then there will be no big problem, right?"

Increase the factory's book revenue?
Chang Zhongliang was stunned, and immediately understood what Zhang Jianjun meant, but his face was full of astonishment: "Nephew, what do you mean...? What about those third-level units with independent financial accounting rights? What about so many fourth-level units?"

Zhang Jianjun chuckled, "Uncle Ma, you're worrying too much. The special work guidance team only has less than 30 people. How can they understand the situation of so many units at once? As long as the turnover speed is fast enough and the action is decisive enough, there shouldn't be any problems."

Damn, do you mean to kill two birds with one stone?

You have a big appetite!

Chang Zhongliang's eyes twitched, but a trace of bewilderment appeared on his face: "I really don't understand this, please give me some advice, nephew."

Zhang Jianjun looked at him with a smile, and did not point out his pretense. Hearing this, he chuckled twice: "Uncle Ma, this is actually not difficult..."

A full five minutes later.

Chang Zhongliang was confused and embarrassed. He raised his eyebrows for a long time before sighing and patting his thigh. "Well, wait a moment, my dear nephew. I will call the heads of the third-level units that have independent financial accounting rights, as well as the heads of the fourth-level units that have good cash flow conditions."

Zhang Jianjun, however, pulled him back with a surprised look on his face: "Uncle Chang, what are you doing?"

Chang Zhongliang looked at him in confusion: "It's not you, my dear nephew...?"

Seeing that this guy was still pretending to be stupid, Zhang Jianjun was not annoyed at all. He just looked at him with a helpless look on his face: "Hey~ Uncle Chang, don't be impatient. I know you are honest, but the question is... have you ever seen a cat stealing food?"

Chang Zhongliang's eyes twitched twice again, knowing that he would not be able to escape unless he was severely beaten. He immediately looked dull and puzzled: "Nephew, what do you mean...?"

Zhang Jianjun was like a rich second-generation rich man who was half-full of money. He shook his head earnestly and said, "My Uncle Ma! Although cats cannot eat food directly, it is natural for them to eat mice... So, if the mice are full, how can the cat be hungry?"

Chang Zhongliang's heart was bleeding when this fellow pointed out the key point without any concealment. After pretending to ponder for a long time, he slapped his thigh fiercely, but his face was full of admiration: "My dear nephew is worthy of being a young talent valued by General Manager Yang. No wonder he was entrusted with an important task at such a young age and became the powerful deputy leader of the special work guidance group... His means are really amazing!"

After saying this, his tone was a little worried: "It's just that the word 'rat' is also in the name. Besides rats, there are also hamsters and occasionally squirrels that eat food. I'm afraid that if I catch them carelessly, I might accidentally hurt them!"

Zhang Jianjun waved his hand with a playful smile: "I also like hamsters, which are popular pets from Hong Kong. As for squirrels, they are even more protected animals...Uncle Chang, don't worry, I will carefully identify them when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Chang Zhongliang took a deep look at the chubby little fat boy in front of him, nodded repeatedly, and smiled with relief as if there was someone to succeed him: "In that case, then Uncle Chang, I am relieved..."
