Chapter 258 The Importance of Public Opinion Position

According to the agenda of the conference, after Tao Donglai completed his work report on behalf of the executive committee, the leaders of each department took the stage and made public reports on the performance of their respective departments during the post-travel period. There are currently nine executive members in the executive committee. Each executive member is responsible for the leadership of a "ministerial" unit, which basically covers all aspects of the existing industry. This is also a continuation of the governance policy determined at the previous plenary meeting. system.

There are indeed a large number of technical talents in the Chuanchuan Group, but there are relatively few management talents suitable for taking the administrative route. Therefore, the division of department functions is still relatively general, and the affairs that each department needs to be responsible for are quite complicated. The Executive Committee has also had relevant discussions on this and believes that it is necessary to further subdivide the functions of the current ministerial-level units after the first-year Executive Committee re-election. In the existing industry, agriculture, construction, military and police, information Establish more specific management agencies under the nine ministries of industry, internal affairs, foreign affairs and commerce, finance, and shipping. Some ministry-level units may even need to make thorough adjustments based on the current situation. For example, the Ministry of Shipping is expected to be upgraded to the Ministry of Transportation, and land transportation matters currently under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Construction will be taken over.

In the report, Bai Kesi mentioned the functional subdivision of subordinate units using the Ministry of Industry as an example. Under the current development conditions, the Ministry of Industry needs to divide the management departments of energy, mining, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, chemical industry and other industries according to industry. At the same time, it is also necessary to establish supporting units such as the ministerial general office, development planning office, policy and legal office, safety supervision, scientific research, etc., to change the current chaotic situation of one office of the Ministry of Industry.

Such division of departmental functions is not just a problem faced by the Ministry of Industry. Similar situations occur in almost every department. But the problem facing the Cross-Travel Group is not that it cannot support a large bureaucracy, but that it is unable to draw so many of the Cross-Travel Group from the production line to be promoted to technocrats - not to mention that most of them have not served as senior managers at all. Based on our experience, the consequences of trying to encourage others to succeed are likely to be counterproductive. Therefore, this subtle contradiction has become a shortcoming that currently restricts various departments from improving their management functions. Even though everyone knows in their hearts that they should go on the right path, they are held back by the current situation and have to continue. The current management model is gradually showing its shortcomings.

Of course, even if the planned system cannot be implemented immediately, it must be planned first, because this will definitely involve the amount of resources that the executive committee will allocate to each unit in the future - not just funds, but more importantly, talents. Many members of the Time Travel Group hold multiple positions, and working part-time across departments is the norm, and this norm cannot last for a long time. Sooner or later, each member will determine his or her own work unit. How the executive committee will allocate members will, to a certain extent, have to be fought for by each unit.

As the main and most important production department of Chuanchuan Group, the Ministry of Industry does have certain natural advantages in this regard. Both public and private, the executive committee will have policy preferences for the Ministry of Industry. Bai Kesi, as the head of the department, is under pressure It is also smaller than other executive committee members.

The person who gave the report next was Tao Donglai, who stepped onto the podium for the second time today. Originally, he wanted Liu Shanxia to speak on behalf of the Ministry of Construction, but Liu Shanxia couldn't leave Tian Du's factory construction site, so he had to take action personally. The Ministry of Construction does not have many difficulties in construction technology now. All the basic building materials are available, and the technical force is relatively sufficient. Construction workers can be trained much faster than industrial workers. The bottleneck limiting the Ministry of Construction is mainly manpower. Although the Executive Committee has specially designated a naturalized commune establishment for the construction team of the Ministry of Construction, it is obvious that the construction team of several hundred people cannot keep up with the current comprehensive rollout in Sanya. infrastructure project progress requirements.

In his report, Tao Donglai vaguely discussed the Ministry of Construction's manpower needs - one of the most important projects next year is Chuanzhong Living Apartments, and based on the current manpower situation of the Ministry of Construction and the progress of the project at hand, , it’s hard to say whether construction can start in the first half of the year. If you want to move from a prefabricated house to an apartment as soon as possible, then think about it.

Perhaps because these matters are related to their own vital interests, all participants listened attentively, and there was no more confusion like the general meeting before the time travel. The executive committee members were originally worried about the order of the venue, but now it seems that they are worried too much. After more than half a year of time-travel life, all the time-travelers who had been daydreaming before have realized the difficulty of changing the world. In this group, nothing really has nothing to do with them. The policies, regulations, and plans of other departments and units Arrangements and production progress will also affect one's own interests - no one in the community of interests of the Crossing Group can stay out of the matter.

During the noon recess, the cafeteria also prepared a rich buffet for the participants. As soon as Tao Donglai found an empty table and sat down with his dinner plate, Yan Chujie, Bai Kesi and Ning Qi filled the three empty seats.

"Old Tao, did you read the forum yesterday?" Ning Qi asked first.

"No, what's wrong?" Tao Donglai asked nonchalantly. The internal forum set up by the Ministry of Information Industry is still running, but today's discussion atmosphere and influence are far less than in the early days of time travel. This is because the forum server is set up in Base No. 1, and the time-travelers currently stationed near Victory Port are only a little more than half of the total staff. Naturally, there are fewer people who can log in to the forum regularly, and the executive committee members are not paying attention to the forum. Therefore, it is reduced accordingly.

"It's still a brothel thing." Ning Qi explained: "Some people think there is something wrong with the current welfare distribution method."

"What's the problem? It's just that I feel unhappy that I can't get the benefits for the time being." Tao Donglai sneered and revealed the secret.

The Executive Committee has not only adopted strict control measures for the controversial brothel, but has even restricted the consumption frequency of its members. This will naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of some radical people, and this is actually what the Executive Committee expected. So Tao Donglai was not surprised by this.

"The point of spraying this time is different from before." Bai Kesi took over the topic and said: "They said that this is the executive committee's surrender to the feminists, and they should not use the roundabout method of brothels to solve the problem of bachelors. Spouse Issues ”

"Does that mean the executive committee is going to send women directly?" When Tao Donglai heard what Bai Kesi said, he roughly guessed the reason why the executive committee was criticized again.

"That's probably what it means." Yan Chujie responded with a wry smile: "They think that whether they buy or rob, the executive committee should get a group of women back as soon as possible and distribute them to singles as welfare. The executive committee is not doing anything now , just afraid that feminists will stand up and make trouble.”

"They know nothing!" Tao Donglai's voice suddenly became louder: "The decision of the Executive Committee is the highest directive. Any bullshit doctrine must first obey the decision of the Executive Committee. Feminists... really think that Feminists can shake things up! ”

"Old Tao, keep your voice down!" Ning Qi gave Tao Donglai a wink. Sitting with Gu Kai for dinner in the distance was Raisa, the number one feminist in the Time Travel Group. With this person's talkative nature, it would not be conducive to internal unity if word spread.

Tao Donglai lowered his voice, but you could still hear his excitement: "I haven't even secured three points of land, but I'm already thinking about dividing the women. After dividing the women, I'll probably start thinking about dividing the houses and land to start my own business." Right? Typical small farmer mentality! What about going out to rob... If the people below start to follow suit and think that everything can be robbed by violent means, then within three to five years, this Victory Harbor will become a It’s like a pirate’s den! In three to five years, when we gain momentum, we will be able to choose any woman we want. How can these people be so short-sighted?”

"Old Tao, don't be angry. Not everyone sees the problem from the perspective of the Executive Committee." Ning Qi persuaded: "The people in our network come from all religions and streams, to say the least. You It is absolutely impossible to expect everyone to think about the interests of the group first. Most people are willing to follow us through it. Most people just want to live a comfortable life for themselves. As for how the group develops, they do not need to worry about everything. " "Teacher Ning is right." Yan Chujie also rarely agreed with Ning Qi's opinion: "Think about it, among us, 70% to 80% of people chose to follow us because they had been unhappy in the past. , there are only 12 out of 10 people who are truly ambitious and want to do something in this time and space. To put it bluntly, most people have failed in their careers, are frustrated in life, and have different values. You can’t expect these people to be the same. We have the same mentality as ambitious people. Many people just want to live in the privileged class and have a wife with dozens of houses at home so that they can live the life of a local emperor."

Bai Kesi lamented: "If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team!"

Tao Donglai suddenly realized that the opinions of these three guys seemed to be relatively unified, and they did not seem to be asking for his opinion, so he changed the topic and asked: "Then what do you three mean?"

"Our current stand is getting bigger and bigger, and the public opinion position must be paid attention to again." Ning Qi said the theme: "The words and deeds displayed by our people play a role in presenting themselves to the naturalized people. The number has doubled, and correct public opinion guidance is necessary to prevent naturalized people from being misled by some wrong information.”

"Is the situation so serious?" Tao Donglai frowned.

"Nip problems in the bud! We used to only think that there was a place like the forum where everyone could make complaints and relax, and also have a channel to report problems upward. But now it seems that the work in this area is a bit too relaxed, and even our own No one can understand the policies of the Executive Committee. How much can we expect the naturalized people to understand? Some people do not want to make progress and just want the Executive Committee to quickly distribute time-travel dividends. This sentiment is likely to affect the naturalization they manage. People, it will have a negative impact on our career," Ning Qi explained to him solemnly.

Hearing Xiange, he realized that this was not his first day as a leader. Tao Donglai looked at the other three people looking at him, nodded slightly and said, "Do you think there is something wrong with the current approach of the Ministry of Information Industry?"


Due to limited conditions, the division of functions of each unit is large and general, and the affairs of the public opinion field have always been handed over to the Ministry of Information Industry. There is a special propaganda office under the Ministry of Information Industry that is responsible for these matters. Luo Wudan, the leading reporter, has always been famous for stalking interview subjects. But now it seems that the work of the Publicity Department clearly cannot satisfy the Executive Committee - at least one-third of the Executive Committee has clearly expressed their dissatisfaction.

However, everyone seems to have overlooked one issue intentionally or unintentionally - as a woman, even if Luo Wudan is not a feminist, it is unlikely that she will praise the emergence of brothels in Victory Port. Of course Tao Donglai also understood this truth. Ning Qi and others raised this matter because they actually wanted to use the excuse of rectifying the propaganda front and also hit those who had too many thoughts. For those whose thoughts cannot be synchronized with those of the Executive Committee, dealing with them directly will seem too simple and crude, and the reasons are not sufficient. However, it is appropriate to use propaganda means to express the position of the Executive Committee. .

Of course, this does include the dissatisfaction of some executive members with the propaganda department. Since the press release for the inauguration ceremony of Tiandu Power Station, the propaganda department seems to have not issued any positive press releases. Most of them are criticizing the various policies of the executive committee, which is quite public knowledge for later generations - no matter what happens Whatever happens, it must be the fault of the Executive Committee. If the people must find fault, then the only mistake is probably to allow people like the Executive Committee to continue to wield administrative power on stage.

Especially when the Military and Police Ministry appointed a chief military officer to Black Earth Port, the propaganda department's interference almost ruined the layout of the Military and Police Ministry, thus completely offending the largest force in the time-traveling group, so much so that last month " When the USS Discovery was launched for sea trials, the military and police departments directly suppressed the application of the propaganda department to report on the ship. The reason was that there were too many technologies on the ship that needed to be kept secret and should not be exposed too much. As a result, the press release on the forum only distributed a few pictures of the "Discovery" on the slipway. The writer also described the trial as "covert in broad daylight". As a result, even the Ministry of Shipping was offended. . Although Tao Donglai has not yet asked Yue Zhiyun for his opinion, he is almost certain that Yue Zhiyun will definitely agree with Ning Qi and others' suggestions.

"In order for the propaganda front and the executive committee to have a unified voice, the propaganda department must make personnel adjustments!" Yan Chujie issued conditions on behalf of the Military and Police Department.

"I think the affiliation of the propaganda department also needs to be adjusted. Isn't it inappropriate for such an important mouthpiece department to be placed under the ministries and commissions?" Bai Kesi said it very tactfully, but the effect is much more ruthless than Yan Chujie ——Yan Chujie only planned to move a few people's positions, but Bai Kesi simply wanted to take the blame and move the entire propaganda department's staff.

Tao Donglai thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It is not appropriate to make a big move now. The one-year anniversary of time travel will be in three months. There will be re-election of the executive committee by then. Department adjustments should be better arranged at that time."< br>


Although Tao Donglai did not agree to implement Bai Kesi's proposal, he had already approved this approach and just postponed the time. After being reminded by the three people, Tao Donglai also noticed that the supervision of the propaganda department had indeed been too relaxed before, and these doubts from the public reflected the weakness of the executive committee in the direction of public opinion. Reminiscent of the × Propaganda Department that later generations were "affectionately" called the "Five Scumbags" by the public because they were repeatedly in a passive position in propaganda work, Tao Donglai also felt the importance of grasping the direction of public opinion.

Ning Qi said: "I also agree with Lao Tao on this point. There is no need to rush to change the affiliation of the propaganda department, but Lao Yan is also right. Personnel adjustments are necessary. In order to stabilize the overall environment, the direction of public opinion must be adjusted. It’s in the hands of the Executive Committee.”

"Let's do this. The relevant personnel will be transferred away from Victory Port for a period of time. The personnel department will be responsible for arranging this transfer order. As for the adjustment of administrative relations in the propaganda department, Meng He will be briefed later. There is no need to carry out a surprise attack." Tao Dong Coming here would set a tone for this matter.

"I hope everyone can work hard on the propaganda front and get things done first." Ning Qi suggested: "Although we are not reporters, we can still write commentator articles! We will directly interpret the policies. It is better than letting the people below misinterpret and misunderstand it. Although there are many members who have different ideas from us, as long as we clearly explain the starting point of the executive committee's policy and the benefits it can bring, I want to unite the majority. People should still be able to do it.”

So in a meeting of just a few minutes during lunch, the executive committee's decision to make adjustments to the publicity department was basically confirmed. Of course, this resolution cannot be implemented after discussion by the four of them. It must be put forward for a vote at the subsequent regular meeting of the Executive Committee, and the necessary democratic procedures can be completed before it can be implemented. However, this vote will still get at least two votes from Yue Zhiyun and Schneider. Although there is doubt about the whereabouts of one vote in the hands of Gu Kai, a strict wife, the six votes already account for two-thirds of the executive committee. According to the current discussion system , it is appropriate to pass this motion.

As for those voices that question and criticize the policies of the Executive Committee, they may become very sparse in the future. Especially for certain arguments that are objectionable to the Executive Committee, their holders may be unknowingly recorded in the Executive Committee's small black book. Although such people can continue to live in this collective, it is obviously unlikely that they will be entrusted with important responsibilities by the executive committee. The most likely possibility is that they will be gradually marginalized and become ordinary technicians. Administrative positions are basically no longer a dream. .

Thank you all for your monthly votes and golden keyboard votes for this book, don’t stop! Come for me!
