Qin Yourong and Xu Qinghe looked at each other, and both of them had helpless expressions on their faces.
In response to Chen Yan's question, neither of them had any intention of speaking, and it was obvious that they had no idea how to answer the question.
Seeing this, Chen Yan simply called out his name, "Yourong, go ahead and speak up. No matter what you think, whether it's right or wrong, just share it for reference. One person can make a plan, two people can make a plan, and three people can help you work together. Maybe your ideas can inspire me."
Qin Yourong pouted and said, "You make it sound easy. Since the production department is already a whole, what can I do? From childhood to adulthood, the thing I'm most proficient in is just killing zombies and mutant creatures. If you ask me to fight, that's easy. But if you ask me to use my brain, that's too difficult.
Anyway, you are the new director of the production department. Naturally, you should consider and solve the problems of the production department. What does it have to do with me? I will just do what you tell me to do. Just tell me what to do and I will execute it. This is the arrangement that suits me best.
Faced with Qin Yourong's cheating, Chen Yan had no good solution and could only look at Xu Qinghe again.
Xu Qinghe sighed and frowned, "I can't think of how to handle this situation. Once we take over the production department, there are only two options left. One is to be quickly assimilated into the production department, become a member of this group, and share the benefits within the production department with them.
The second is to immediately uncover the hidden filth and dirt inside. If we choose the second path, we will be standing in opposition to the entire production department. Aside from killing everyone in the production department and replacing them with a new group of people, I can't think of any other solution."
Chen Yan reached out and rubbed his temple.
He said with a headache: "It's impossible to kill everyone. The vast majority of people in the production department are actually technical positions, not management positions. If all the management positions were killed, it might cause some chaos, but it wouldn't be fatal. At least the daily production capacity of the production department can still be maintained.
But if all the technical staff were eliminated, the production department would be instantly paralyzed. Once the production department was paralyzed, the vast amount of supplies Kahn Company needed for daily operations would be cut off. The current inventory would not be able to sustain it for much longer.
At least relying on inventory to support the company won't be enough time to train a new batch of skilled workers. Are we going to let everyone at Kahn go hungry? That's simply unrealistic. If we really did that, we'd be kicked out of the company immediately."
Having said that, Chen Yan stood up, stretched, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, and looked out.
The scenery inside the giant wall of Kahn Company certainly cannot be compared with the quiet and peaceful metropolis in the previous life. The scene seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows does not make people feel that they are looking down on the world. Instead, it makes people feel depressed because there are exactly the same buildings everywhere.
"As for the first option, it's actually not an option. The board of directors of Kahn Company must be aware that the production department is rotten to the core. The sudden appointment of me as director is enough to explain this problem. If the board of directors wants to change the current situation of the production department, they can't promote the director from within the production department.
Because if a director was promoted from within the production department, the situation wouldn't improve at all; it would only worsen. The only way to resolve the problem without being tainted by personal interests was to parachute in a director, ensuring that he had no connections to the production department.
So if we choose to assimilate, to go along with the Production Department, then the Board's decision to appoint me as Director will be meaningless. We'll be surrendering to the Production Department, betraying the Board's trust. Do you think this will end well? I feel... it won't be any better than the second option."
After listening to Chen Yan's explanation, Xu Qinghe also felt that it made sense.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "There are two roads, and neither of them works. Doesn't this mean there's no way out?"
Chen Yan shrugged and said, "Who said there's no way out? We clearly still have a dead end."
Seeing Xu Qinghe's expression instantly become dull, Chen Yan couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "It's just a joke. The atmosphere is a bit heavy, so I have to adjust it. Otherwise, the air around me will be depressing and I will feel uncomfortable.
In short, the option of going along with the crowd is actually the worst. Not only will we immediately lose the trust and support of the board of directors, but how can we ensure that those in the production department will truly accept us wholeheartedly?
What if, in their eyes, we are the perfect scapegoats, waiting to be blamed for everything? If that were the case, we would be in dire straits.”
Having said that, Chen Yan clenched his fist and continued, "So my idea is to use the remaining time to find some people in the production department who are dissatisfied with their current situation. Although the production department is a whole, the benefits are limited. Some people get more, while others get less.
No one thinks that what they eat is all they deserve, and almost everyone thinks they should eat more. Human desires are always unsatisfied, and there are definitely many dissatisfied people in the production department.
We must try to identify these people, then work hard to separate them and turn them into a group that can be won over. We can then use this group to crack down on those who have encroached on the most interests and are least likely to reform.
We can propose to the board of directors that we only punish the few individuals responsible, limiting the scope of the crackdown as much as possible. At the same time, we can promise the rest of the production department that if they actively return the stolen goods, they will be given a chance to reform.
Chen Yan waved his fist and continued, "You don't have to return all the stolen goods. For many people, profit is more important than life. If we really ask them to return everything, we might as well kill them directly. But we have to establish a ratio, and this can be achieved by relying on 'hope'."
Analyze how much each person has embezzled since they took office in the production department, and then set a repayment amount that will make them extremely heartbroken but barely acceptable. If they accept this amount, they will be forgiven, and those who refuse will be punished with a single blow.
"The great man taught us to win over some, divide some, and suppress some. As long as we can make the enemy less united, we will have the opportunity to defeat them one by one! Do you understand?"
Qin Yourong and Xu Qinghe exchanged a glance, then responded in unison, "Understood!"
