If there are some particularly lazy people, the type that’s hopelessly lazy, of course Lin Mu can’t do anything for them, they will definitely be dismissed. They don’t work well and still want to earn money; no place will accommodate such people!
"Haha, what Boss Lin said is correct, this plan is indeed feasible. A ten percent quota per year is not high. Does anyone else have other opinions?" Meng Guoxiong smiled and asked the people below.
The city leadership team shook their heads. What they thought of and hadn’t thought of were all mentioned by Lin Mu in advance, so for the moment, they had no opinions!
"Since that’s the case, then it’s settled. Liu Shu. Send, I’ll leave this matter for you to handle." Meng Guoxiong said to Liu Luogen, the secretary of the trade and economic commission in charge of state-owned enterprises.
Liu Luogen nodded, "Rest assured, Meng Shu. Send!"
After the meeting, Lin Mu hosted and accompanied the big leaders to a five-star hotel for a meal. When running an enterprise and handling things in the future, it’s certainly inseparable from these Wancheng leaders, so it’s good to get familiar in advance, making things more convenient!
Through discussions, cigarettes, and wine, indeed, cigarettes and wine are the excitement agents that enhance men’s bonding. A group of men drank to their heart’s content, and Lin Mu made a round of drinks at the table, establishing the relationships more or less.
"President Lin, in the future, if you’re running an enterprise and need help, just speak to your brother, and I’ll provide convenience for you." The mayor, slightly tipsy, said, patting his chest.
"Oh dear, thank you so much..."
"President Lin, if there’s anything you can’t handle, find me; if it can be done, it surely will be done!" The district committee secretary also patted his chest and said.
"Thank you, thank you"
Whether these people are sincere or not doesn’t matter to Lin Mu. As long as it’s lively, that’s enough. After all, the words have been released; even if they can’t help, they won’t sabotage them in the future, so Lin Mu can proceed boldly.
However, this matter isn’t so simple. The city leadership decided, but the company executives still need to hold a small meeting with the managers to discuss how to communicate this to the workers. At least keep the workers’ emotions stable and prevent any mess from occurring by then!
The party secretary of Bayi Steel Group, Chen Dawei, and the general manager of Four Directions Pharmaceutical Company, Chen Dazhuang, returned to the company to hold a high-level meeting, explaining the developments of today’s afternoon meeting and detailing the company’s transition to becoming a private enterprise.
Of course, they weren’t discussing; you could say it was a notification because they had no decision-making power regarding state-owned enterprises. These decision-making powers were only in the hands of the city leadership team. To put it plainly, the higher-ups are the decision-makers, and they are merely the executors!
As a notification, Chen Dawei informed various departments to prepare to appease the workers during the meeting. After all, this is not a small matter, and it concerns the emotions of thousands of factory workers; if anything stirs up, it won’t be a small issue.
"Chen Shu. Send, I wonder if there will be any changes for us after the state-owned enterprise transitions to a private enterprise, or will we be packed off?" The head of the sales department, Section Chief Li, proposed to Chen Dawei.
This proposal by Section Chief Li is what everyone is worried about. To be honest, none of them agree with the state-owned enterprise becoming a private enterprise. This undoubtedly threatens their positions and wages, which are no longer as stable as they are now.
"Everyone, rest assured, the city leadership team has guaranteed this, and the Boss Lin who is buying our steel company has also promised there will be no changes in personnel. Everyone will hold the same position as before, just that the relevant systems have been adjusted. The basic salary of the entire factory, including mine, will be reduced to a living guarantee, but there’s no need to worry about this. In the future, an assessment system will be implemented, and as long as everyone works hard, it will definitely be higher than the current salary!" Chen Dawei explained.
After Chen Dawei finished speaking, the people below started to discuss, evidently having quite a few objections to this plan!
"Oh, of course, if anyone has differing opinions or feels this isn’t good, they can consider other occupations. This won’t be mandatory; since the higher-ups have decided to transition to a private enterprise, it must be done according to the decision!" Chen Dawei said.
The middle management below, although they didn’t voice it, still had many objections. It’s just that their positions and status prevented them from speaking directly, but they are the direct managers. Some things are operated in the dark, unlike the concerns Chen Dawei and the city leadership team have about worker opposition!
After the meeting, the middle managers of the steel company walked out of the meeting room, discussing the most about how the transition from state-owned to private enterprise would affect their interests. And once Section Chief Li returned to the office, he picked up the phone and called Han Si Hai.
"Master Si, there’s something at the steel company. The higher-ups decided to transition the steel company to a private enterprise!"
Han Si Hai, being the head of the three prominent families in Wancheng, had his pieces in various circles in Wancheng, and Section Chief Li was a covert line Han Si Hai placed in the state-owned Bayi Steel Group. Although Bayi Steel Group’s economy had been declining yearly, due to the sales department’s special status and Section Chief Li’s secret operations, Han Si Hai could easily siphon off millions in profits from the steel company!
If it transitions from state-owned to private, becoming individually operated, it would be impossible to amass such large profits. By then, all the money would go into someone else’s pocket. National funds were unmanaged, but a private boss’s wallet was tightly controlled, with virtually no chance to dip in and grab profit.
Han Si Hai was quite surprised. After all, his Han Family had long coveted this steel company but had never found a way to gain control. After all, it was state-owned. But now, with the winds shifting, someone has easily taken over the steel company, they must have some background!
"Find out who is taking over the steel company? How can he have such capability?"
"It seems his name is Lin Mu
"What’s the reaction in your factory?" Han Si Hai asked.
"The higher-ups have a resolute attitude and have decided on a transition, but the workers are discussing heatedly and seem somewhat worried. Nowadays, how can things be more comfortable than in a state-owned enterprise! Turning into a private enterprise, who knows when they might get the boot!" Section Chief Li said.
