As the general person in charge of Yuanye Automobile Industry Group, Zhou Danian has naturally met Shen Huai before, but apart from the enterprises and institutions he has focused on investigating, Shen Huai has only met the person in charge of other provincial state-owned enterprises in the system. On the other hand, Shen Huai wouldn't have been able to recognize a management team like Qi Jiancheng if he hadn't met him by chance.
After Yuanye Automobile Industry Company was restructured into a group, since it was a wholly state-owned company, it did not have a chairman. Zhou Danian, as Party Secretary and General Manager of Yuanye, is the leader with overall responsibility. He is fifty-eight years old this year and will retire in two years. , both manes are slightly gray, he looks very thin, wearing a suit, shivering a little due to the cold wind.
Starting out as a skilled worker, Zhou Danian entered the wilderness of what was then the Huaihai Automobile Factory in the mid-1960s. From technician to technical team leader to workshop director, he gradually reached the positions of deputy party secretary and general manager of the group. superior.
In early 1995, Yuanye had just built a new production base for sedans and commercial vehicles in the Zhunan Industrial Park, and the group seemed to be prosperous on the surface. At that time, Zhou Danian was very high-spirited and even intended to compete for the position of Secretary of the State-owned Enterprises Working Committee, but he did not call the then provincial government. Party Secretary Tian Jiageng was chosen.
Seeing the senior management of Yuanye Group coming out to greet him, all in suits and ties, Shen Huai said nothing and shook hands with Zhou Danian, Qi Jiancheng and others. Seeing that they were still looking at the Dongshi pickup truck he drove over, Shen Huai said with a smile: "I During this period of time, I wanted to have a comprehensive understanding of the production and operation of passenger cars in the province, but I couldn¡¯t get enough of it on paper, so I borrowed a few of the best-selling cars produced in our province and tried to drive them. Yesterday I just bought a car produced in Yuanye. The van must be returned, otherwise it will be driven over today"
" What Shen Huai said did not make Zhou Danian and others feel better. Instead, his face became hot.
Just a few days ago, the door of a Yuanye van accidentally fell off while passing Tiananmen Square in Yanjing. This news spread widely in the automobile industry, and Zhou Danian did not believe that this scandal had not reached Shen Huai's ears. He even thought that Shen Huai might have borrowed a van produced by Yuanye from another unit for a test drive after hearing about the scandal, instead of driving it directly, which saved some face for them, but Zhou Danian and the others did not think that Shen Huai Huai has the power to directly interfere with the operations of Yuanye Automobile Industry Group.
Shenhuai's car drove faster. Jiang Yibin, Tang Baocheng and others took two cars. They blocked the red light at the intersection and stopped in front of the factory gate after two minutes.
"Lao Zhou, you and Deputy Director Shen are already chatting." Jiang Yibin stepped out of the car and greeted in a cheerful voice.
"We are listening to Director Shen tell us about the automobile industry?" Seeing Jiang Yibin get out of the car, Zhou Danian strode over to greet him, held Jiang Yibin with an increasingly enthusiastic hand, and walked back to Shen Huai.
When Shen Huai took Tang Baocheng and others out of the Guojin Building in the morning, Jiang Yibin and Su Ping seemed to be waiting for them in the parking lot. When they heard Shen Huai said that he wanted to go to the wilderness for research, they took the car and hung it on their backs. Followed.
Looking at the way Zhou Danian knew that Jiang Yibin would come with him to investigate, Shen Huai just smiled in his heart, thinking that Zhao Moshi was really capable, but he didn't know what kind of bargaining chip he offered to let Jiang Yibin go on this trip in person.
He saw Jiang Yibin walking over and said with a smile:
"Yes, I am not familiar with the province's automobile industry, so in the past few days, I specially found a few passenger cars produced in the province and tried to drive them myself,"
Seeing that no one responded to his words, Shen Huai continued,
"There are only two factories in our province that produce pickup trucks, and both factories are in Xucheng. In the past few days, I have found Dongshi and Yuanye pickup trucks in operation. The pickup models of the two factories are similar. It uses Japanese technology, which allows for intuitive comparison. After driving it for two days, I feel that the Dongshi pickup truck is more powerful. And whether it is speed, off-road performance, or the interior of the driver's seat, the quality is better than that of the Wilderness. , not to mention market performance - Secretary Zhou, is what I experienced a reflection of the actual situation?"
Zhou Danian said with a stern face: "The market performance of Dongshi pickup trucks is better than the cars produced by our group."
As soon as Shen Huai came up, he used Dongshi's car to peel off Yuanye's skin and slap Yuanye in the face. Jiang Yibin confirmed that what Zhao Moshi said was true. Dongshi had had contact with Shen Huai, but a few days ago Yuanye caused a disturbance with a van in the middle of the road. He wanted to catch Zhou Danian and the others to curse at the scandal about the car door falling on the road. At this time, it was difficult for him to explain it to them.
"Secretary Zhou has already reported to me the situation of Yuanye and Dongshi," Jiang Yibin said. "Dongshi is a township contracting enterprise. Regardless of the operating mechanism and not much about rules, in recent years, Yuanye's employees have been transferred to Yuanye with high salaries. It is true that all the technical backbones have been poached; this has seriously weakened the technical strength of Yuanye. And Yuanye is the national?For enterprises, the mechanism is not flexible enough, which is first reflected in the fact that the enterprise distribution system is not subject to internal control of the group. Nowadays, everything is about money and not about carrying forward any spirit. If those technical backbones cannot be retained in the wilderness, it will be difficult to talk about enterprise development. That¡¯s why we need to talk about restructuring and reform, we need to separate government from enterprises, and we need to give enterprises greater operational autonomy"
"Secretary Jiang is right, there are some objective reasons," Shen Huai nodded, but looking at Zhou Danian and others, he asked, "Have any of you ever driven a Dongshi car?"
Jiang Yibin felt his scalp numb when he saw Shen Huai chasing after him. Shen Huai was supposed to choose one of the nearly two hundred enterprises and institutions in the system to perform surgery. Even as the head of the State-owned Assets Office, he had no reason to stop him. It was just that Shen Huai and Pu The Cheng Group has its eyes set on Yuanye Automobile Industry Group, which is really difficult to handle.
Jiang Yibin saw that Zhou Danian and others had straightened their faces, and knew that these high-level officials in suits and leather shoes might not have put down their arrogance and drove the Dongshi pickup truck.
Shen Huai waited for a while, and when no one said anything, he said politely: "Most of the pickup truck market in Yuanye has been eroded by Dongshi in the past few years, but none of you have tried to drive a Dongshi car. How can I ask Secretary Jiang to be satisfied with me?"
"The group has a special evaluation department. There is a certain gap between our group's cars and Dongshi, but the main reason is what Secretary Jiang just said." When Zhou Danian walked out of the door to greet him, Shen Huai scolded him for a long time. He also got angry and his tone was quite In a strong defense, "The group has too little freedom to operate. Previously, if we wanted to pay more year-end bonuses, we had to get approval from the working committee. How to retain talents? Talents cannot be retained, and talking about development is a luxury, which has led to the current situation. There are The data from the evaluation department is a direct reflection of market performance. Regardless of whether we have driven it or not, we all know that there is a gap between the cars produced by the group and Dongshi. There is no reason why the group¡¯s senior management must be forced to drive Dongshi¡¯s pickup truck to work every day. ?¡±
"Old Zhou," Jiang Yibin protracted, looked at him accusingly, and said, "Deputy Director Shen is also eager to improve Yuanye's current operating conditions. You must first correct your attitude."
Tang Baocheng and other entourage members watched Jiang Yibin and Zhou Danian singing harmoniously, trying to neutralize Shen Huai's offensive. They secretly thought that if Zhao Moshi of the Pucheng Group could whisper in Jiang Yibin's ears and exert influence, then the real battlefield would not be here. The future fate of Yuanye Automobile Industry Group cannot be decided by Zhou Danian and others.
***************************
After entering the factory, Shen Huai mainly looked at the actual situation of the production departments of wilderness cars and commercial vehicles.
Although Jiang Yibin is the head of the State-owned Assets Office, he came in force and came with Shen Huai for investigation. Naturally, Shen Huai took the initiative in arranging the investigation itinerary.
Shen Huai was very diligent and did not stop for half a day, walking around every corner of Yuanye's production base in Junan.
Although the entire factory area, which is also the first phase of Yuanye Group¡¯s ambitious car and commercial power project, is only over 500 acres, it still took half a day to walk down the entire plant.
Jiang Yibin and Su Ping did not expect Shen Huai to be so capable of leaving, so they could only follow him despite complaining.
This production base for cars, commercial vehicles and engine and gearbox parts started construction in mid-1992 and was completed at the end of 1994. It was a turnkey project at that time. During the construction process, China did not participate. After the completion and acceptance, Yuanye Automobile Industry Group was responsible for taking over. Although technology digestion is poor, the conditions of the factory and production lines in the past five years or so have been relatively good. This is also a key factor why BAIC has never given up on this aspect after negotiations have dragged on for more than a year.
In this survey, it is impossible not to mention the issue of restructuring and restructuring, which itself is directly in charge of Shen Huai. For the research symposium in the afternoon, Shen Huai specially invited some of the grassroots managers he came into contact with during the factory inspection in the morning. People go to the conference room to attend the symposium.
Although Liu Jizhou of Dongshi Motors is not popular with senior executives such as Zhou Danian and Qi Jiancheng, he still has some influence among the grassroots managers of Yuanye. After all, he also came from Yuanye; it can also be seen that Liu Jizhou may have done some work beforehand. , at the research symposium, some grassroots managers of Yuanye Group expressed dissatisfaction with the current cooperation plan being negotiated with BAIC:
"Once the group takes out its sedans, commercial vehicles and power plants to jointly invest with BAIC, then it will become a small part of BAIC's production system. Should the group develop and expand the automobile industry? Should Huaihai Province develop? , strengthened the automobile industry?¡±
Zhou Danian was so angry that he vomited blood. This economic and industrial macro-level issue is not something that grassroots managers need to consider at all. Now, some grassroots managers have brought it up at the research forum. Isn¡¯t it because the people from Shenhuai and Dongshi Motors are behind everything? Have you made arrangements?
At this time, someone directly revealed that Dongshi Motors had proposed to cooperate with Yuanye:
"After the country adopted a production catalog system for car production, Dongshi Motors was forced to stop the production of its car line because there was no licensing system. However, it approached the group and proposed cooperation and wanted to establish a joint venture car factory. Now that the group has admitted that Dongshi Automobile is producing Management and market operations should be stronger, so why have you never considered cooperating with Dongshi Motors?"
"Secretary Jiang, do you know this situation?" Shen Huai asked Jiang Yibin.
Jiang Yibin realized at this time that the entanglement behind him was too deep. He did not receive much benefit from Zhao Moshi. There was no need to risk his life for Pucheng Group. He shook his head and said:
"I have been in charge of the State-owned Enterprises Working Committee for less than a year when I heard about the cooperation between Yuanye and BAIC. Mayor Li may know something about this situation," he asked Zhou Danian again, "You didn't cooperate with Li Gu City back then. Will the chief report this?"
"Now someone has reported that Liu Jizhou of Dongshi Automobile Factory hollowed out collective assets and deliberately transferred the interests of Dongshi Automobile Factory, a collective enterprise of the Panyuan Township government, into Liu Jizhou's family enterprise, causing the loss of Panyuan Township's collective assets. This situation is in Before Dongshi Automobile proposed cooperation, Group Vice President Qi Jianguo made some inspections. In order to avoid the loss of state-owned assets, we did not consider cooperating with Dongshi Automobile Factory, so we did not report to the working committee." Zhou Danian said, eyes fixed on I focused on Shen Huai and wondered how he could take over the big hat of losing state-owned assets.
¡°It¡¯s not wrong for the group to consider this.¡± Jiang Yibin said.
Seeing that Jiang Yibin had made up his mind, Shen Huai wrote down Zhou Danian's words in his notebook and asked, "How much did Yuanye lose last year?"
Zhou Danian was immediately speechless due to Shen Huai's questioning, his old face turned red, and then he thought that Shen Huai might have been waiting for his words from the beginning to the end.
Shen Huai closed the book and said: "Yuanye established a car and commercial vehicle production department and a power plant to produce engines and gearboxes. A total of one billion was invested. By the end of 1998, the cumulative loss was 200 million, which means there are still 800 million left. Assets of 100 million. Secretary Jiang and I are here to ask you how much the group lost last year. How many years can you take this part of the state-owned assets before they are completely lost?"
