The leisurely life of a reborn dad

There is a saying that when the nest is destroyed, no egg can be left intact!

The same is true for Xuemeng Food Factory.

Although the trade war on the other side of the ocean is only targeting large washing machines and photovoltaic products, who can guarantee that this is all the means of the other party?

It has just started the new year, who knows if there will be more despicable means in the future?

Moreover, compared with other companies, Xuemeng Food Factory has a great advantage. Their company has no loans and sufficient cash flow.

In the following period, if the economic fluctuations are really intensified due to the trade war or other reasons, and the market gradually becomes worse, it can be said that Xuemeng Food Factory is more resistant to risks than other companies.

In addition, most of their products are sold domestically except for export.

Will there be any impact?

Definitely!

But we can't be timid because of the impact, that is not Cao Shujie's style.

After the meeting, managers of various departments went back with their tasks.

Not long after Cao Shujie returned to his office, Wang Zhifeng, Shi Jingxiu, Guan Boyong and others came over.

Wang Zhifeng and Shi Jingxiu came here to discuss the topic that they had not finished talking about last time with the boss.

Guan Boyong came here because he considered that the trade war launched by the United States has a lot to do with export trade, and the fruit wine and preserved fruits of Xuemeng Food Factory are all for export. Now that something like this has happened, it is impossible to say that there is no impact. They have to make a plan early.

In this case, they must report to Cao Shujie.

"Oh, you three have come together after discussion. Hurry up and sit down." Cao Shujie invited them to sit down in the reception area of ​​the office.

"What kind of tea do you want to drink? Green tea? Or black tea?" Cao Shujie asked them.

Guan Boyong stood up and went to Cao Shujie's filing cabinet to open it, took out the tea leaves from it, and turned around to say to a few people: "Don't pick it, just brew one."

Several people didn't care. They mainly came to talk to Cao Shujie about work. It didn't matter whether they drank tea or not.

Today's incident will make everyone aware of the crisis. This time it's not a joke.

They know very well that when other industries are not doing well, their industry will also be greatly impacted.

Simply put, the deep-processed fruit products made by Xuemeng Food Factory are snacks, and to some extent, they are products that can be eaten or not.

It is not something that must be eaten, which determines that when the overall economic environment is not good or the economic trend is downward, many people will inevitably tighten their belts and save money.

The expenses of non-essential items such as snacks can be reduced, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t buy them.

This time, the industries targeted by the Americans for tax increases are large washing machines and photovoltaic industries, but who knows which industry will be the next one?

When more and more industries are targeted and the income of people involved in these industries becomes unstable, many food industries including Xuemeng Food Factory will be greatly affected.

Before Guan Boyong finished making tea, Wang Zhifeng, Shi Jingxiu and others had already started chatting.

There were no outsiders here. Wang Zhifeng and Shi Jingxiu directly continued the topic of trade war mentioned by Cao Shujie last time. The two talked about their next ideas from the two aspects of production and human resources respectively.

In Wang Zhifeng's words, if the market environment worsens further, the personnel department must consider increasing the assessment of all employees, and even layoffs.

Cao Shujie has been listening carefully. He did not express any opinions at first, but after Wang Zhifeng finished speaking, Cao Shujie said: "Assessment is fine, but layoffs are fine. Don't mention this issue again in the future."

Hearing Cao Shujie say this, Wang Zhifeng was stunned for a moment, and Shi Jingxiu and Guan Boyong were also stunned.

In the case of a bad economic environment, layoffs once became a necessary means for many companies, but Cao Shujie just disagreed with this method.

Knowing that the boss is "kind-hearted", Wang Zhifeng still thinks that this matter must be treated rationally, and he wants to talk to the boss privately.

After Shi Jingxiu came back to her senses, she continued to talk about her thoughts from the perspective of production.

According to Shi Jingxiu, the production side must strictly control the quality next. If their market shrinks, they must improve the quality of their products and make them refined!

During this process, Guan Boyong has been listening carefully. It can be said that the methods mentioned by Wang Zhifeng and Shi Jingxiu basically cover sales. The only difference is that sales also need to consider the domestic market and overseas markets.

After Wang Zhifeng and Shi Jingxiu finished speaking, Guan Boyong expressed his concerns.

When Cao Shujie heard this question, he also said: "Manager Guan, continue to do it first. If it really doesn't work, suspend overseas business."

Guan Boyong nodded, but he also assured Cao Shujie that he would try every possible way to sell the company's products and get the money back before the last minute.

After talking about everything that should be discussed, Shi Jingxiu and the other three were ready to go out.

Cao Shujie suddenly called Wang Zhifeng: "Manager Wang, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Wang Zhifeng was stunned for a moment, but still stayed.

After Shi Jingxiu and Guan Boyong went out, Cao Shujie asked Wang Zhifeng to sit down again.

"Manager Wang, what do you think of the company's current procurement process?" Cao Shujie asked as soon as he came up, which was something Wang Zhifeng had not expected.

This also made Wang Zhifeng feel that Cao Shujie's patience with the company's procurement seemed to have reached its limit.

Otherwise, the boss would not have come to him directly to discuss this issue.

Wang Zhifeng pondered for a while before saying: "Boss, what aspect are you asking about?"

"Don't play dumb, Manager Wang, do you really know nothing?" Cao Shujie came up and said this.

After hearing this, Wang Zhifeng's heart trembled, and for a moment, Wang Zhifeng was very scared.

"Boss..." Wang Zhifeng thought again and again, thinking about how to answer Cao Shujie's question, but he found that no matter how he answered, this matter was difficult to handle.

For example, he told the boss that he knew there was a problem with procurement, why didn't he report it?

If he told Cao Shujie that he didn't know about the problem with procurement, then as the manager of the human resources department, he must have a big loophole in managing people.

There was no need to even say the excuses like "This is the Purchasing Department's own business. As the manager of the Human Resources Department, he has no access to the internal management of other departments and does not know how the Purchasing Department operates." If he said it, it would prove his incompetence, which would only make Cao Shujie look down on him even more.

This matter made him feel torn.

When Wang Zhifeng was thinking about this problem, Cao Shujie did not urge him, but waited patiently.

He gave Wang Zhifeng enough time to think about it, which was also a test for Wang Zhifeng.

About five or six minutes later, Wang Zhifeng's voice rang out in the office again: "Boss, there is a problem with the Purchasing Department."

"What's the problem?" Cao Shujie did not pursue the previous matter, but asked directly along with his words.

Wang Zhifeng hesitated for a moment again, and then said: "Boss, some time ago, Manager Xiang of the Purchasing Department invited me and Manager Guan of the Sales Department to have dinner together. During the meal, Manager Xiang mentioned that the 2018 procurement plan was rejected by the boss."

He thought about it and found that he could not get around this matter. In this case, he might as well tell the truth.

And to put it bluntly, they are all workers, and they all earn this money from Cao Shujie, not to form gangs in Cao Shujie's factory and then pull Cao Shujie down from the boss's throne.

If the uprising is that simple, it will be fine.

At this time, Wang Zhifeng told himself that he must not be confused.

He told Cao Shujie exactly what happened when he had dinner with Xiang Zhengyan that night, and also said that after the three of them separated, he and Guan Boyong got together again to discuss the problems of the purchasing department.

In a word, there are big loopholes in the purchasing department.

"Why didn't you find it before?" Cao Shujie asked.

Wang Zhifeng didn't know what to say.

In fact, if it weren't for the last company management meeting, Cao Shujie's attitude at the meeting changed 180 degrees, Wang Zhifeng would not have realized these problems. Later, Xiang Zhengyan asked him and Guan Boyong to have dinner alone, and took the initiative to tell them that the 2018 annual procurement plan had not been passed, and asked them for help. At that time, Wang Zhifeng realized the gray area in the purchasing department.

But the problem is that this kind of thing exists in any factory.

In response to the question Cao Shujie just asked, Wang Zhifeng thought about it and said to Cao Shujie: "We are currently using manual operations in the procurement area. I think we can install a special procurement system."

He also told Cao Shujie: "We can implement cross-audit for future procurement."

"Tell me." Cao Shujie was very interested in his statement.

Wang Zhifeng told Cao Shujie about a procurement system he knew about.

In general, all products that need to be purchased are entered into the system. Each time an order is placed from the online mall, the inquiry staff and the purchasing staff are two independent operations. Not only will there be cross-audit after the order is placed, but even after the order is placed, there will be a dedicated audit department to conduct spot checks every day.

Wang Zhifeng told Cao Shujie that after this procurement system is installed, the audit of purchase orders will not only be completed by the procurement department, but the company can also require the audit department to participate.

However, this cannot completely avoid this situation 100%, but it can avoid most of it.

After all, any operation is done by people, and as long as the process involves people, there will be loopholes, but we can't hide our problems just because we know this.

They should seek more perfection from the process and system.

"But Manager Xiang failed to do his job." Cao Shujie said.

Wang Zhifeng already understood what Cao Shujie meant, and he asked Cao Shujie whether he wanted to recruit a new purchasing manager.

But Cao Shujie told him unexpectedly: "Let's transfer Lian Qijian back first."

"Who will be responsible for the Northwest region?" Wang Zhifeng asked.

The Northwest region is not only responsible for sales, but also for the purchase of raw materials. In a sense, the purchase of the Northwest region is more important than sales.

Cao Shujie then said: "Didn't Hu Yong go there? It just so happens that he has been studying with Lian Qijian for so long, and he is also familiar with Adilijiang and others.

Let him be responsible for the purchase of apples and other fruit raw materials in the Northwest region first, and as for sales, arrange another person to go there."

Wang Zhifeng quickly nodded and agreed, he already understood Cao Shujie's next arrangement.

From Cao Shujie's perspective, he wanted Lian Qijian to take over Xiang Zhengyan's position, and then let Hu Yong take over Lian Qijian's position.

Even Wang Zhifeng didn't expect that this arrangement could be made.

Even thinking about the work arrangements for Lian Qijian and Hu Yong, Wang Zhifeng was thinking in his heart, could it be that Cao Shujie had been thinking about this matter a long time ago?

But Wang Zhifeng felt that Cao Shujie would not go that far.

From another perspective, it can also be said that this is Cao Shujie's trust in Lian Qijian and Hu Yong.

At the end, Cao Shujie said to Wang Zhifeng: "Manager Wang, first notify Lian Qijian to come back, and then make arrangements for Hu Yong's new work, as well as the work arrangements for the Northwest Sales Office. After Lian Qijian returns to the company, you and Manager Xiang will talk alone and ask him what he thinks."

"Okay." Wang Zhifeng nodded and agreed.

At this time, Wang Zhifeng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was in a heavy mood. Such a thing happened, which was not what Wang Zhifeng wanted, but the impact of this matter was too bad and it really needed to be dealt with.

Just as Wang Zhifeng was thinking about how to discuss this issue with Xiang Zhengyan, Cao Shujie came to his desk, took out several documents from a pile of files, and came to the reception area to hand the documents to Wang Zhifeng: "This is the situation I asked Manager Hu to check, take a look."

Wang Zhifeng took it and read it page by page, but he couldn't read it after just a few pages.

Cao Shujie said to Wang Zhifeng: "Manager Wang, the system you just mentioned should be launched as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Wang Zhifeng nodded.

...

Wang Zhifeng looked very bad when he came out of Cao Shujie's office.

Not long after he returned to his office, Guan Boyong came to find him.

As soon as he entered the door, he closed the door of Wang Zhifeng's office, so that the two of them could discuss quietly in the small office and people outside could not hear it.

"Manager Wang, what does the boss want to see you about?" Guan Boyong asked.

Wang Zhifeng glanced at him, hesitated for a while and said, "It's related to what we said that night."

"Are you talking about what happened to Manager Xiang that night?" Guan Boyong seemed to understand something?

Wang Zhifeng nodded, and he didn't say much about this matter.

Guan Boyong was also very smart not to ask.

He didn't ask Xiang Zhengyan's next solution.

In fact, Guan Boyong realized that the matter of the purchasing department was not over since that night.

He felt that the calmer it was at this time, the more it meant that the boss couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

And this also meant that the punishment later would be more severe.

He didn't ask the boss how to deal with the purchasing department, and he could guess it without thinking.

But Guan Boyong couldn't figure out why Xiang Zhengyan had come to this point?

In Guan Boyong's impression, Xiang Zhengyan was not such a person when he first entered Xuemeng Food Factory.

Although people always change, he must have a reason to change, right?

Xuemeng Food Factory gave such good treatment and such a high salary, what reason did Xiang Zhengyan have to do this?

He also asked Wang Zhifeng if he knew why Xiang Zhengyan had come to this point?

But Wang Zhifeng couldn't understand Xiang Zhengyan's actions and thoughts.

In the end, he simply attributed the matter of the purchasing department to human greed.

Otherwise, it was really hard to explain.

However, Wang Zhifeng told Guan Boyong that he wanted to call Lian Qijian back from the Northwest Office, and he asked Guan Boyong to recommend another person who could take on the heavy responsibility in sales.

Especially at this stage, the person in charge of the sales office in the Northwest needs a more capable person.

But Guan Boyong heard Wang Zhifeng say that he wanted to transfer Lian Qijian back, which he never expected.

But he immediately understood the significance of transferring Lian Qijian back.

"Manager Wang, is this the boss's arrangement?" Guan Boyong asked.

Wang Zhifeng nodded, and he did not hide this, but told Guan Boyong to make personnel transfers as soon as possible.

"When will it start?" Guan Boyong asked him.

Then he heard Wang Zhifeng say that he would start the action after Lian Qijian returned from the Northwest.

When he thought of the consequences that Xiang Zhengyan might face next, Guan Boyong felt a sense of grief.

At the same time, he also warned himself not to reach out randomly, otherwise Xiang Zhengyan's fate would also be his tomorrow.

"Sad!" Guan Boyong was also in a heavy mood.

...

When Lian Qijian, who was in the Northwest Office, received a call from Wang Zhifeng and asked him to return to the company to make a work report, he was a little confused and didn't know what Manager Wang was up to.

Besides, it was almost the Spring Festival now. Was it too early to return to the company to make a work report at this time?

After returning to his home in Wuqi, Lian Qijian told his parents Lian Xuezhu and his mother Dang Wanli about this matter, and neither of them said anything.

Since November, Pingyuan County was a bit too chaotic. After they came out, they have been in Wuqi with their son and have not returned to Pingyuan County.

But this does not mean that they have cut off the information channel in Pingyuan County. On the contrary, they all know what happened in Pingyuan County some time ago.

Xia Zhenjiang, the county propaganda minister, stood out from the crowd and jumped a few steps to block the deputy secretary of Pingyuan County.

This change really surprised Lian Xuezhu.

As for other things, the old couple didn't pay much attention.

After their son left, the two of them thought about traveling around the area, and Lian Xuezhu and Dang Wanli even discussed that since they were going out to play this time, they should visit more places.

They were both retired and had pensions, so they just had fun.

They wanted to make their second half of life less boring and live more comfortably.

However, after Lian Qijian left, the procurement work of the Northwest Office fell on Hu Yong's shoulders.

Upon learning about this work arrangement, Hu Yong did not ask much and agreed directly, but Hu Yong also felt very strange about it.

The last time the boss arranged him here, he didn't expect to stay for more than half a year.

When can he go back? (End of this chapter)
