Chapter 1373 I don’t need this kind of support
May 7th, Thursday, cloudy and rainy.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the drizzle that had been falling all night finally stopped, but the sky was still very gloomy. It was estimated that it would not be long before the annoying drizzle would fall again.
Niu Hongzhang in the office was talking on the phone. His tone was very calm and a bit respectful, but his face was even gloomier than the sky outside the window.
"Yes, we discussed this a few days ago when he first came back. He didn't want to lose any of the important parts."
"You don't want to let go at all? Haha, you don't want to let go of the driver's seat either."
"We didn't discuss the cab specifically, but I know there's a batch of large stamping machines that were just shipped from Eastern Europe. They're said to be for the expansion of a new stamping workshop, and I guess he wants to get his hands on them."
"Shipment from Eastern Europe? So he's very active in the Kamaz project now?"
“.”
Niu Hongzhang narrowed his eyes and said affirmatively, "Yes, they are very active. Their technical department has been working overtime frequently these days. They must have started to tackle technical problems."
The person on the other end of the phone suddenly interrupted Niu Hongzhang and said seriously, "Niu Hongzhang, don't always think of them as their own. You are a member of the Light Vehicle Company.
Besides, you are their leader, so you can fully grasp the actions of the first branch in real time, instead of using words like "should" and "estimated" to explain the progress of the KAMAZ project to me."
"You have to understand that the higher-ups have always supported you and trusted you, and we believe that you will not let us down."
Niu Hongzhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I understand, leader. I'll report back to you as soon as I get the confirmed information."
“.”
Originally, Niu Hongzhang had been keeping calm while making the call, but at this moment, he unconsciously became humble. It was not until he hung up the phone that he suddenly realized what had happened.
Niu Hongzhang sat tiredly on the chair. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly laughed at himself.
"The higher-ups support me? If not, wouldn't I have just left like the last one?"
When Niu Hongzhang was first transferred to the Light Automobile Company, he was full of energy and had great ambitions. However, after only two or three years, he felt that "the imperial edict could not leave the imperial city."
People like Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye are simply too unreasonable. They were polite at the beginning, but later they simply didn't take Niu Hongzhang seriously, so that the fence-sitters below also followed suit, making it impossible for Niu Hongzhang to control anything.
No matter how you shout, they just don't listen.
You are a senior leader, but you can't control the middle-level managers. How can you talk about control?
"But can I be blamed for this?"
Although any paratrooper would face similar problems, Niu Hongzhang felt that his start was simply hellish.
When Niu Hongzhang was first transferred to the Light Automobile Company, he felt something was wrong. The main factory was actually being held hostage by a branch factory.
Niu Hongzhang immediately asked for support from above.
For an organization, support comes down to two things: people and money.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. You can only make people powerful if you have money. As a result, Niu Hongzhang risked his reputation but did not get any money. Instead, it was the branch factory developed by Ma Zhaoxian that provided continuous blood transfusion to the main factory.
How could you, Niu Hongzhang, arm wrestle with Ma Zhaoxian? You've already lost halfway.
Even if there's no money from above, it would be okay to give two people, right? According to Niu Hongzhang's situation, he could bring a confidant with him to take up the post.
Although several close associates of his former unit were unwilling to start over with Niu Hongzhang, it was still acceptable for the higher-ups to assign him a capable person. After all, it was a department-level position, and there were plenty of people willing to fill it.
In the end, no one was assigned to Niu Hongzhang. I don’t know what the higher-ups were thinking, but in the end, they didn’t assign any staff to him.
So now when the higher-ups called him and said they supported him and trusted him, Niu Hongzhang really wasn't moved at all.
Because it seems that the greatest support he has received is that his position has remained unshakable.
But Niu Hongzhang does not think this is support, because he has done nothing wrong in this position and his opponents cannot find any handle on him. Why should they shake him?
Especially after the Shanghai Auto Show last year, Li Ye clamored "I'm watching you too", causing a group of villains to make trouble for Niu Hongzhang at every turn.
However, Niu Hongzhang held himself to unprecedented standards, living a hard-working, simple life, and putting justice above his own. He never took a single cent from the public money and repeatedly crushed the open and covert attacks of those treacherous villains.
So even if the higher-ups don't support him, his position is unshakable.
“Huh~”
Niu Hongzhang let out a long breath, stood up, opened the door and walked towards the first branch factory.
Even if he didn't get any support, he still had to obey the arrangements from above. He needed to find out what stage the research progress of the Kamaz project had reached so that the higher-ups could better weigh the pros and cons.
Niu Hongzhang was actually very clear that if the first branch was still in the research and development stage, then there would not be much action on his side. But if they had made a major breakthrough and were about to succeed, then the real game would begin.
Only then might Niu Hongzhang get more support.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Niu Hongzhang walked into a branch factory with a stern face and went straight to the R&D workshop without looking around.
Why did Niu Hongzhang not look around? Because if he looked around, he would find that almost everyone, after seeing him, either "avoided him" or pretended not to see him and ignored him. Who could stand that?
Thinking back to when he was in his previous unit, whenever Niu Hongzhang came out of the workshop, everyone would greet him warmly with words like "Secretary Niu, you are here," or "Secretary Niu, you came to inspect in person." This made Niu Hongzhang feel warm in his heart.
But these people in the first branch factory are just like they are guarding against thieves and avoiding the plague. It is simply unreasonable.
Moreover, when he arrived at the R&D workshop, Niu Hongzhang had to fill out the "personnel entry and exit record" meticulously at the reception desk at the workshop entrance.
This is the rule set by Li Ye. No matter who it is, even if Ma Zhaoxian comes first, he has to fill in the record.
Don't be unconvinced. Many people are not qualified to enter the R&D workshop, and they are not allowed to fill out records even if they want to!
And just when Niu Hongzhang was filling in the record, he heard someone shouting inside, and he almost threw the pen in his hand out in anger.
"The old cow is here~~"
The voice was very melodious, just like a certain singing style in Peking Opera, graceful and tortuous, with a strange flavor, which caused a burst of laughter.
Tell me, with such a working situation, would Niu Hongzhang be willing to come?
The person on the phone just now was very dissatisfied with Niu Hongzhang's inability to accurately grasp the project progress, but can Niu Hongzhang be blamed? You come and try it.
When Lu Zhizhang entered the R&D workshop with a dark face, not only was there no one to explain to him, no one to report to him, but also Niu Hongzhang was ordered "not to touch anything".
Because they are all precision instruments or research materials, you have to be responsible if you move them.
Therefore, Niu Hongzhang may not come to a branch factory once a month, because it would be useless if he came. He would not understand anything without someone to explain it to him. It would be better for him to find out the situation from the side through the few informants he has.
But Niu Hongzhang’s trip today was not in vain.
Because the research projects that were booming and being worked overtime a few days ago were all covered with tarpaulins and sealed up.
