Chapter 174 None of us are cowards

Great Hall.

Amid bursts of applause, Xu Zhiquan walked to the podium with a smile.

As he picked up the microphone, the "ceremonial" applause from the audience quickly stopped.

Hundreds of machine factory workers in the audience were waiting for the future leader to speak and see what he had to say.

Naturally, what Xu Zhiquan was going to talk about today had been discussed with Xu Chen several times.

This is the first communication between all employees of the factory, and we really have to pay great attention to it...

"First of all, let me introduce to you that the person sitting next to me is a leader from the city..."

Xu Zhiquan did not rush into the topic, but first introduced Qu Fei, the deputy mayor's secretary.

Naturally, he also specifically pointed out the identity of the other party.

“I am very grateful to Vice Mayor Wu Yongming and Secretary Qu for their continued support of Dongchen Shares!

I am able to stand here today because the city and Vice Mayor Wu have given me a lot of care and help! ”

The purpose at this level is also very clear. Behind Dongchen Co., Ltd. and Mr. Xu, there is support from the city!

Qu Fei happened to be sitting next to Xu Zhiquan, which also hinted at this supportive relationship.

With the platform and endorsement from the city and leaders, the employees' trust in Mr. Xu and Dongchen's strength has naturally increased.

"I'd better make a simple introduction of myself.

I am a farmer born and raised in Tiancheng. In the 1980s, I also made my way to Guandong and worked as a workshop director in a state-owned factory in Northeast China...

Later, I returned to Tiancheng and started a foundry accessories factory. I also worked as a supplier to Guangming Factory for a few years..."

This self-introduction was naturally intended to shorten the psychological distance with the hundreds of workers in the audience.

The implication is that although he is the big boss now, he has also been a worker in the workshop like everyone else, and even has connections with Guangming Machinery Factory itself.

Xu Zhiquan continued without hesitation:

"Our current main business at Dongchen Co., Ltd. is actually seedling engineering.

In the past year or two, we have discovered the decline of sand foundry accessories. Behind this, of course, there is also a downward trend in the overall agricultural tricycle industry.

Therefore, within this year, I decisively shut down the sand foundry parts factory that I was operating, and even voluntarily gave up the bidding for a part from Guangming Factory at that time.

It was also after that that Dongchen Co., Ltd. saw major opportunities in highway construction and seedling projects, and established a seedling planting company...

At present, we are doing the seedling greening projects for several expressway sections under construction in Tiancheng..."

This introduction is also very important, and Xu Chen specifically asked it to be added.

The bankruptcy of Guangming Machinery Factory actually has nothing to do with the workers working underneath.

More responsibility lies with the leadership.

Failure to see industry trends, incomplete development planning and even major mistakes...

Xu Zhiquan specifically mentioned that he had predicted the decline of agricultural tricycles and successfully transformed the seedling project. This is a display of vision, courage and strength.

Naturally, this has the "incompetent" leadership of Guangming Factory, which instantly formed a sharp contrast and widened the gap.

In fact, most of the hundreds of workers in the audience had some complaints against the leadership of Guangming Factory.

In their eyes, the bankruptcy of Guangming Factory and the layoff of employees are naturally mostly the responsibility of the leadership...

And the current "Mr. Xu" is obviously much higher in ability and courage than the several Guangming Factory leaders sitting on the stage...

As Xu Zhiquan explained, some subtle changes also occurred in the eyes of the employees in the audience.

Xu Zhiquan paused for a moment before getting to the really important part of today's communication.

"I am a farmer and have also been a worker. I deeply understand the difficulties of working people.

Guangming Factory is facing bankruptcy, and the employees of Guangming Factory are about to be laid off and unemployed. I feel the same pressure..."

“Several companies have participated in the acquisition of Guangming Factory.

Thanks to the trust of the city and leaders, the Guangming Factory was finally handed over to Dongchen and me..."

"Vice Mayor Wu once told me face to face that one of the most important reasons why our plan was selected was that we were willing to take in all the old employees of the machinery factory and would never force any old employee to be laid off!"


The words fell to the ground, and they were loud and clear.

Xu Zhiquan paused deliberately.

Behind him, Ji Yusheng, the old secretary sitting on the left side of the podium, took the lead in applauding.

Hundreds of employees in the audience immediately burst into applause with eager eyes.

What they were most worried about finally got a face-to-face and formal affirmative answer from Mr. Xu.

The applause gradually subsided, and Xu Zhiquan continued:

“When I was working as a workshop director in Northeast China, I also encountered the entire workshop being laid off.

I know very well that for laid-off workers, they care more about a long-term stable job and income than a compensation payment!

Stable job, decent life, continuous income...

This is fundamental! ”

As soon as the words fell, someone in the audience suddenly shouted:

"Mr. Xu said it well!"

Then, there was another burst of non-stop applause.

On the stage, Jin Guiyuan was drinking tea from a white porcelain tea cup, his face became a little ugly.

……

Xu Zhiquan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Doing business is not just empty talk.

To provide stable jobs and income for everyone here, we still need the factory to have stable business and revenue.

Everyone must also be curious. The tricycles produced by Guangming Factory can no longer be sold. If I take over the factory, what will I do in the future? ”

“Dongchen Co., Ltd. was selected by the city based on our future transformation plan for Guangming Factory...

I think everyone knows Director Yang Congxin of the technical line in the factory! ”

Yang stood up again, turned around and bowed.

Xu Zhiquan continued:

"Last month, Director Yang and I visited several factories in the south. I think he has a lot of experience and wants to share it with everyone!

Please invite Director Yang! ”

Old secretary Ji Yusheng once again took the lead in applauding!

Yang Congxin adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and walked quickly from the audience to the podium.

He took out a prepared speech, which was naturally what Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen had read in advance.

Next, to make the employees of the machinery factory accept the development plan of the electric vehicle factory, it would be perfect for the former technical director of a machinery factory to introduce it.

Yang Congxin introduced the situation of the inspection trip to the south and talked about the development trend of electric vehicles.

Speaking of some key points, it is difficult to conceal the excitement and excitement.

As a veteran employee of a machinery factory, he once managed two production lines, so his words are naturally more impressive and convincing.

When he talked about the advanced electric vehicle production line he saw in the southern factory, a group of workers on the technical line in the audience showed longing and joy.

……

Near the end, Yang Congxin suddenly cleared his throat.

He put down the speech in his hand, calmed down, and said:

“Dear old partners from Guangming Factory!

The Guangming Factory, which had been in operation for more than 20 years, closed down. I, Old Yang, was holding a breath in my heart!

None of us are cowards, every worker in our Guangming Factory is more capable than the last!

Working hard, getting up early and working late...how the hell did he close down the factory? !

In the past, we had no strength to act blindly, and even followed the leaders every day to engage in intrigues and armchair talks!

Now that we are bankrupt, I think that is a good thing!

Nothing can be broken, nothing can be established!

If Guangming Factory is not bankrupt, we will not have a chance to regroup and follow Mr. Xu to make electric vehicles!

Mr. Xu and Dongchen’s idea of ​​​​the layout of electric vehicles is not a slap-in-the-head decision, let alone an armchair plan written by some leaders for promotion!

We have been in Guangming Factory for more than ten or twenty years, and we are fed up with those formalistic reforms and reporting plans just to please the leaders... I, Lao Yang, have been following Mr. Xu for a while.

I can use my old Yang’s head to guarantee that Mr. Xu is a real person who does practical things!

He is a person whose ability, courage and character make me, Lao Yang, convinced!

If you follow Mr. Xu, you won’t suffer any loss!

Mr. Xu wants to transform and upgrade our Guangming Factory into an electric vehicle factory. This is a forward-looking judgment based on industry and market demand...

Not only can it save our Guangming Factory, it may even have the opportunity to develop us into a large national factory!

Old friends!

We can finally let go and do our best!

Our good days are coming too! ”

……

Yang Congxin's words were not written in the manuscript, but they were his generous words from the bottom of his heart.

After the words fell, the whole place was quiet for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, there was thunderous applause...

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

On the rostrum.

Ji Yusheng, the old secretary, looked ashamed, but immediately stood up and clapped vigorously.

Jin Guiyuan and Chief Engineer Zhao Jihong looked at each other, but their expressions were very ugly.

What Yang Congxin said just now slapped many people in the face.

The ones who were beaten the hardest were probably Ji Yusheng, Jin Guiyuan, and Zhao Jihong on the stage.

However, compared to Ji Yusheng's shame and self-blame, Jin Guiyuan and Zhao Jihong could not hide their anger.

……

Qu Fei clapped his hands and turned to look at Xu Zhiquan.

Xu Zhiquan smiled and whispered:

"Secretary Qu, this is really not what he was told to say."

Qu Fei laughed and whispered:

"What Director Yang said is great! It doesn't matter whether it was arranged or not!

This is what the city and leaders want to hear! ”

Xu Zhiquan stood up and walked to the podium.

The applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic.

Xu Zhiquan looked emotional and shook hands with Yang Congxin.

He picked up the microphone and cleared his throat before the thunderous applause gradually subsided.

But the hundreds of employees in the audience all had even more eager eyes.

Obviously, Yang Congxin's words just now ignited all the potential emotions that they had suppressed their needs...

Under the stage, next to the first row.

Fang Jun frowned, turned to look at Xu Chen, and asked in a low voice:

"Did you write this last paragraph for Director Yang?"

Xu Chen laughed, but did not answer directly.

……

Xu Zhiquan held the microphone and said:

"Thank you, Director Yang, for your trust!

Since Director Yang said that I, Lao Xu, am a practical person, I won’t talk too much nonsense!

I know that everyone has been without work and wages for several months.

Making a living is already difficult, let alone having to support a family...

But our electric car factory cannot start up in a short time.

At least in the next month or two, everyone’s food problem still needs to be solved..."

After the words fell, the employees in the audience all looked a little moved.

Obviously, the problem Xu Zhiquan mentioned is also their most urgent situation at the moment.

"I discussed it with the city and came up with a plan, but I also need to discuss it with everyone here.

As mentioned just now, Dongchen Co., Ltd. is also currently working on high-speed seedling greening projects in Tiancheng and surrounding areas.

If you don't mind it, you can do some work on the seedling project first, and I promise to pay you your wages normally.

When the renovation of the old factory and the introduction of new production lines begin to be implemented at Guangming Factory, everyone will come back!

I, Mr. Xu, was born a farmer and also worked as a worker.

Working in the fields is still harder, so everything is done on a voluntary basis.

If you are willing to work on seedlings first and receive some salary to support your family, the company will arrange training and employment.

If you don’t want to bother, just sit idle for now and wait until our electric car factory starts working, and then you can rework..."

After Xu Zhiquan finished speaking, there was a burst of whispering in the audience.

But not long after, someone shouted:

"Mr. Xu, we are willing to do it!"

"We follow Mr. Xu's arrangements!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we can all endure hardship, and it's not easier in the workshop than in the field!"

……

Xu Zhiquan also had a look of emotion on his face when he listened to the words in the audience.

Behind him, Ji Yusheng, the old secretary on the podium, suddenly stood up and said:

"Mr. Xu! I, Ji Yusheng, went to the fields with me and didn't receive any salary!

Hard work has always been the founding tradition of our Guangming Factory!

All leaders and supervisors, even if I am an old man, I will wait and see what your stance is! ”

As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Jin Guiyuan and Zhao Jihong beside him.

In the audience, several supervisors stood up and said:

"Secretary Ji! We were going to do it together!"

"Yes! We have been idle for a few months, and we have long wanted to roll up our sleeves and get to work!"

Yang Congxin walked to the front and said loudly without taking the microphone:

“Don’t worry too much!

I have been working in Mr. Xu’s nursery stock company for a few months. It is easy to get started and the work is not too hard! ”

As soon as the words fell, there were waves of echoes from the audience.

Xu Zhiquan stood on the stage and exchanged glances with Xu Chen in the audience.

Both father and son knew that there were no mistakes in today's communication with the five hundred machine factory employees, and it could even be said to be very smooth.

In fact, Chenxin Nursery's labor shortage problem is very serious now. Several projects are being carried out at the same time. Fourth uncle Xu Zhilin has long been worried.

Now using the employees of the machinery factory to make the transition is indeed a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Xu Zhiquan glanced back at the rostrum with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for something...

The old secretary Ji Yusheng suddenly said:

"Director Jin, Chief Engineer Zhao, don't you two leaders make a statement?"

Jin Guiyuan and Zhao Jihong looked at each other, but smiled and said nothing.

Xu Zhiquan naturally saw it, but remained calm.

Naturally, he does not need Jin Guiyuan and Zhao Jihong to plant seedlings in the fields, but their "statement" is also crucial.

Taking the initiative to work in the fields like Ji Yusheng is a sign of "submission" and "acceptance of management"...

Xu Zhiquan has just arrived. Whether Jin Guiyuan and Zhao Jihong can be "subdued" is something that many people are paying attention to.
