When will I have a long tassel?

"But, Lao Zhou, the power management has been delegated to Tengcun City. Now you are considered a cadre of Tengcun City, right? The Tengcun State-owned Assets Bureau can remove you first and replace you with an obedient factory director. Isn't that enough? ?”

Tang Zifeng raised a question.

Zhou Heng said: "From the perspective of authority, of course they can do this. But even if a new factory director comes in, the decision-making in the factory will still have to go through the 5,000 cadres and workers in the factory. Now I can still be effective in speaking in the factory. , if someone else comes forward, talking will not work at all. When the workers in the factory start to make trouble, the city government will also be unable to do anything."

"That's true." Tang Zifeng nodded. Tengji, like Linyiji, used to be a subordinate enterprise and had its own system in the local area. From the factory leaders to ordinary employees, everyone felt that they were superior to others and did not pay attention to the local government at all. Now that the country is engaged in institutional reform, the management system has been decentralized to Tengcun City, but the mentality of cadres and workers cannot be adjusted for a while. If Tengcun City dares to point fingers at Tengji, the factory employees can teach the city how to behave without Zhou Heng coming forward.

It is probably because Tengcun City understood this that they did not dare to touch Tengji's land casually, but had to discuss it with Zhou Heng. After negotiations failed, Tengcun City once again assumed a hands-off attitude, waiting for Tengji to fend for itself.

"What is the mentality of the workers in the factory?" Tang Zifeng asked again.

"Everyone is anxious." Zhou Heng said, "Originally, everyone thought that Tengji was a subordinate enterprise of the ministry. When the situation was really at the end of the rope, the ministry would definitely lend a hand. Now even the Machinery Department is gone, and Tengji is directly transferred to Tengcun City, and Tengcun City made it clear that it would not help Tengcun City, so everyone felt the pressure.

"These days, there are dozens of middle-level cadres who come to me directly to inquire about information. It is inconvenient for ordinary workers to come to me directly, so they all inquire from their respective workshop directors. These situations are also reported below."

"It's a good thing to have pressure." Tang Zifeng said, "When you are poor, you want to change. It should be easier to use this moment to let everyone change their minds and abandon the bossy style of old state-owned enterprises in the past."

Zhou Heng said with a wry smile: "It's not that easy. There are indeed some cadres and workers in the factory who are reflecting on Tengji's own problems and suggesting that they should learn from some companies in the south and change their business concepts. But most of the workers are of another kind. The prevailing view in the factory is that we have made contributions to the country for decades, and now the country doesn’t care about us, which is unfair to us.”

"It's as if no one has made any contribution." Tang Zifeng sighed. He had heard opinions similar to this in many places. When people encounter difficulties, they often subconsciously look for reasons in others and blame others for treating them badly. Those who can find the reasons for everything from themselves are saints. Of course, such people live a very tiring life...

"We have a deputy factory director named Nie Xianlun who often spreads this kind of remarks among the workers. Many workers think that he is very just and a representative of the workers. As a result, my words in the factory are not as effective as his." Zhou Heng Said helplessly.

"Then let him be the director of the factory. Wouldn't it be nice for you to retire early and return to the capital to have grandchildren?" Tang Zifeng said.

Zhou Heng sneered and said: "If he had this ability, I would have given up on him a long time ago. This guy used to be a dawdling guy in the factory. Because of his qualifications and background, he became the deputy director. This time, he also took advantage of the ideological confusion in the factory to come out to make a fuss and say things that everyone wanted to hear. In fact, he was causing chaos in the factory. But ordinary workers didn't understand this, so they felt that what he said was reasonable, and they all clamored to do it. Go to the city and petition.”

Tang Zifeng smiled and said: "I think this person is not without merit. At the very least, he stirred up the workers' emotions and made Tengcun City afraid to act rashly against Tengji, right?"

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "What you said makes sense. With him interfering in the middle, Tengcun City is indeed going to use a virulent weapon. Thinking about it this way, Tengcun City State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau did not touch me. I am worried that if I go down, no one will be able to control Nie Xianlun, and the city will be even more passive."

"This is really messy." Tang Zifeng said. He counted on his fingers one by one: "The Ministry of Machinery has been cancelled, and Tengji is no longer concerned about it; Tengcun City is eyeing Tengji's land and does not care about Tengji's life or death." ; The employees in the factory don’t want to make progress, and just want the state to continue to control them... In other words, after a long time of trouble, we are the only two people in China who still want to revitalize Tengji. I suddenly feel a lot of pressure. "

"You still have to bear the pressure." Zhou Heng responded. He was already familiar with Tang Zifeng's various witticisms. He said: "The country has handed over such a factory to me. I can't let it collapse, right? Tengcun is an old industrial base. Hundreds of factories have collapsed over the years, which makes people look real. I feel bad. I can't control the affairs of other factories. Out of sight, out of mind. But after all, I am the director of Tengji, so I can't stay out of it."

"Nobility is the epitaph of the noble. Old Zhou, your biggest shortcoming is that you are too noble." Tang Zifeng said with emotion.

"What nonsense!" Zhou Heng scolded dissatisfied.

Tang Zifeng chuckled, confused by the joke just now, and then asked: "Old Zhou, tell me what your expectations are for Tengji's future."

"Expectations..." Zhou Heng thought for a while and said: "Two things. First, the production foundation of Tengji cannot be discarded. After all, this is the equipment industry foundation accumulated by our country for decades. If it is discarded like this, , it’s such a pity.”

"Yeah, I understand."

"Second, the living security of all factory workers cannot be lost, including retired workers. These people who have worked for the country all their lives cannot be left without a happy old age."

"Your tone is no different from the Nie Shilun you are talking about." Tang Zifeng said with a smile.

"Why is there no difference?" Zhou Heng said, "His point of view is that Tengji has contributed to the country and the country cannot ignore it. My point of view is..., hey, what is my point of view?"

He suddenly felt a little dizzy. He originally thought that he and Nie Xianlun were completely different, but being surrounded by Tang Zifeng like this really made him dizzy. It's clear that I didn't mean it, okay, but what exactly did I mean?

Tang Zifeng summed it up for him: "Let's not talk about the retired employees. After all, they have retired. It has nothing to do with what happens to the factory. They have the right to get their retirement wages. But the current employees are another matter. They have to If you want to maintain your original standard of living, you must work hard. Where you need to change your mindset, you must change; where you need to work hard and sweat profusely, you must not be lazy. If you want to enjoy the treatment of an uncle like in the past, there is no way."

"What you said..." Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and looked like he had a toothache, and said, "Okay, that's roughly what you meant, but it's a bit too cold."

"The words are rough but the reasoning is rough." Tang Zifeng said confidently.

"Yes." Zhou Heng surrendered. Tang Zifeng was right. Sometimes, he was really tough. He asked, "If this is your point of view, what are you going to do?"

Tang Zifeng said: "I have thought about it. For the sake of you, Lao Zhou, I will definitely take care of the aircraft. No matter what, I can take care of the retired workers of the aircraft. At worst, I will take care of the aircraft." The land will be returned to Tengcun City, and 20 million will be enough to provide these retired workers with 20 years of pensions. But for the existing employees, I can only give them a chance. If they are willing to accept this opportunity, I welcome it. I think Anyone who behaves like an uncle in front of me can get away as far as he wants, I will not wait for him."

"What if they make trouble?" Zhou Heng asked.

"What's the fuss about? The money is in my pocket, why can they come and snatch it away?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Zhou Heng said: "Even if you have never experienced workers making trouble, you have always seen it, right? If thousands of people really make trouble, the production order of the factory cannot be guaranteed. It is not easy for the police to deal with such a big thing. By the way, wasn't that what you did when you led people to attack the Linhe Industrial and Commercial Bank?"

"That was spontaneously done by the masses, okay?" Tang Zifeng corrected with a smile. In fact, after so many years, Zhou Heng already knew the whole story. It was meaningless for Tang Zifeng to say this. It was just habitual sophistry. After saying this, he returned to the topic and said: "Lao Zhou, I have also considered the situation you mentioned. Therefore, I have thought about it these days and feel that it is not appropriate to take over the aircraft directly when the aircraft is coming. In the end, So that we can save the country through a curve and use the warm-water frog tactic."

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Heng asked.

Tang Zifeng lowered his voice and told Zhou Heng a plan. Zhou Heng listened carefully, pondered for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine. Let's gradually digest Tengji's employees and assets step by step, so as not to eat them all at once and suffer from indigestion, which will drag Linyiji down."

"That's exactly it." Tang Zifeng said, "However, to achieve this, we need to maintain a high degree of confidentiality and not let anyone know our true plans."

Zhou Heng said: "This means that even if it is Tengji's factory leadership team, I cannot reveal the truth to them. Every factory leader has a relative, and the information at the factory affairs meeting cannot be kept secret." of."

"This is your business." Tang Zifeng spread his hands, "If this news leaks from your mouth, Lao Zhou, causing the plan to fail, I will not be responsible. When the time comes, I will just walk away and Tengji will be a mess. , Who cares about it, it has nothing to do with me."

"Okay." Zhou Heng was really used to Tang Zifeng's laziness, but he also knew that Tang Zifeng was mean in his mouth but passionate in his heart.

"There is another obstacle in this matter, the Tengcun Municipal Government. If you want to implement your plan, it is impossible to bypass the Tengcun Municipal Government. I dare not say whether they can keep it secret." Zhou Heng reminded.

Tang Zifeng waved his hand and said: "Their side is also not ventilated. Now we must treat all parties as thieves and guard against them. Please ask someone to contact me, and I will go to see the officials of Teng Village this afternoon."
