It's not that he lacks this taste.
But after all these years, he hasn't even moved around much. Is someone like that really suited for this position?
Nevertheless, he still said, "You know, there's Wang Shouren..."
"With Wang Shouren around, to still act like this, what else could he be but an idiot?" Qin Tian clapped his hands and dusted himself off. "Alright, Uncle Li, you don't need to worry. I know what to do. To be honest, I had some resentment, but now, it's gone. Even if this guy were in your position, we wouldn't be any better off. The way he looks, he probably thinks he's been demoted, right?"
The so-called "decentralization".
It's essentially a test. When someone reaches a certain level and wants to move up, they're sent down to a lower level to test their interpersonal skills and problem-solving abilities. How they handle things in a local area is a test of their abilities. If they manage the situation well, they'll naturally receive recognition for their achievements, which is one reason why so many places want investment.
This is one of their resumes. During their tenure, as long as there was a factory like the Dayun Motorcycle Factory opened by Wang Shouren, it would be a brilliant achievement no matter what.
Xu Jiaguo went to take over the Dayun Motorcycle Factory.
In his view, this was a way to give him good results; not to mention overseas sales, his domestic sales were also considerable.
Sales have also exceeded ten million.
Isn't this practically a free gift?
Therefore, Xu Jiaguo was very excited.
I picked up a factory manager on the way; who wouldn't be happy about that?
He instantly suppressed the ominous feeling he had earlier; after all, his superiors still valued him quite a bit!
He didn't take his negotiations with Qin Tian very seriously. After giving him some brief instructions and telling him that he could call him anytime if he had any problems, he went to work at the factory with great enthusiasm the next day. This period of time happened to be near the end of the year.
When he arrived at the factory, he saw many trucks carrying goods out, and he thought they were shipping out goods.
He saw the old man guarding the gate looking him over.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, he walked over and said, "Sir, I'm the new factory manager sent down from above. I'd like to ask how to get to the factory office?"
"Factory manager? He doesn't even own a motorcycle?" Grandpa Qiu looked Xu Jiaguo up and down with disdain.
This made Xu Jiaguo lose face.
He immediately put on a stern face and lectured, "Sir, at your age, how can you not have this much awareness? I'm here to work, not to show off. Besides, I was sent here by my superiors; how could I possibly afford a motorcycle? A factory manager should be honest and upright. How can you, at your age, still treat people differently based on their status?"
Grandpa Qiu sneered, "Integrity, huh? Where were you when I was fighting the Japanese on the battlefield? And you're telling me this? I risked my life so that my descendants could have a good life. What? You can't blame your incompetence on integrity? Director Wang is corrupt? Then why don't you arrest him?"
Xu Jiaguo: ...
Alright, this old man who fought the Japanese is someone I can't afford to mess with. Let's go!
Xu Jiaguo didn't know he could continue the conversation, so he quickly changed the subject: "Grandpa, are you shipping goods out to sell?"
“Sell? Sell what? We stopped selling a long time ago. The Dayun brand has been removed. What’s there to sell? They said they were moving these equipment to the new factory.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaguo's face immediately darkened.
Without saying a word, he jumped in front of the car and blocked its way.
The driver was startled and slammed on the brakes. Luckily, the car had just started moving and the speed wasn't too fast, so it wouldn't have killed anyone.
Without saying a word, the driver jumped out of the car and punched Xu Jiaguo, who was trying to stop him. The punch caught Xu Jiaguo off guard.
"You son of a bitch! You're really unlucky! Damn it, if we weren't at the factory gate, I would have run you over, you believe me!" After saying that, he punched Xu Jiaguo twice more. Xu Jiaguo felt his stomach cramping; it hurt more than he had felt in a long time.
The incident at the factory gate immediately attracted the attention of the security department.
The security department had been replaced long ago. The new person was surnamed Zhang, and he had also retired from the military.
Section Chief Zhang stopped the driver, who was still trying to hit someone, and asked sternly, "What's going on?"
The driver pointed at Xu Jiaguo, who was crouching to the side clutching his stomach, and said, "I was driving perfectly fine when this bastard ran out and blocked my car. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have run him over. Tell me, shouldn't this bastard be beaten?"
Section Chief Zhang frowned and walked over. Xu Jiaguo had recovered by then.
I saw Section Chief Zhang.
Section Chief Zhang spoke up: "Comrade, who are you? Why are you stopping our factory's drivers? Please give me an explanation."
"Comrade." Xu Jiaguo clutched his stomach, took out a document from his backpack, and handed it to him: "I am the factory director sent down from above. I want to ask why someone is transporting equipment out of the factory. This equipment belongs to Dayun Motorcycle Factory. This is embezzlement of state-owned assets. I only stopped the vehicle in desperation."
Section Chief Zhang took the document from Xu Jiaguo, glanced at it, and after confirming there were no problems, said, "I don't know about this. I just give them a slip of paper, so I let it go. It's that simple. If you have any questions, you can go to the factory director's office to ask."
"I'll go right now!" Xu Jiaguo didn't bother arguing with the driver, giving him a fierce look as if he wanted to memorize his appearance.
"Sixth Brother, it seems that kid has remembered you. What should we do? Will he retaliate against you later?"
"Retaliation?" The driver, nicknamed "Sixth Kid," scoffed. "Retaliation my ass. We're contract workers. When the time comes, we'll transfer the contract to the company next door. What's it to him? It's none of his business."
He knew all about these things.
The motorcycle factory also had several different types of workers.
There are two types of workers: contract workers and permanent employees.
"Publicly employed workers" refers to those with official positions, most of whom are placed in these positions by higher-ups. Those who are willing to work are paid high wages, while those who are unwilling are kept on by the motorcycle factory, given some face.
As for the contract workers, they were hired independently, and Wang Shouren paid most of their salaries. After 1980, Xu Jiaguo repeatedly caused trouble for Wang Shouren. Sometimes he said that the wages he paid to his employees were too high and that the ministry would not recognize them, so Wang Shouren had to pay them himself. Other times he said that the research funding was too high and that the ministry would not recognize it either. At first, Wang Shouren would explain, but Xu Jiaguo did not believe him at all and kept telling Wang Shouren to adjust it.
