Sui Qi said with emotion: "It feels like you two are close friends! You can both figure out each other's thoughts."
Wang Guoyue smiled and said, "Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. The strongest enemy is often the one who knows you best. Because they have studied you deeply, they can make the right judgments."
Sui Qi said incomprehensibly: "Can't you fight side by side?"
Wang Guoyue paused and said, "It's fine to fight together, but the premise is that we can't fight side by side! He and I must be one, two, and three."
Sui Qi knew that what he had just said was a bit childish, so he slowly advised: "You are now the secretary of the municipal party committee, the monitor of the team, and the leader."
Wang Guoyue smiled and said, "Fang Zhicheng came to Caoyao as a temporary official. He is a free man. I have no power over him."
…
Du Guangquan likes to ride a bicycle to and from get off work. Although the group provided him with an Audi car more than ten years ago, he still habitually rides his bicycle to and from get off work every day.
Although the economic performance of Caoyao Heavy Industry Group has not been very good in recent years, Du Guangquan's reputation has not been affected at all, because everyone knows that Du Guangquan is dedicated to the factory. He is 62 years old and can retire according to retirement regulations, but in the past two years, he continued to work longer hours due to the strong demands of the factory employees.
Du Guangquan got off his bicycle, held the handlebars, and stopped by the roadside. The two old men who were playing chess hurriedly said with a smile: "Director Du, let me play for you!"
Although Caoyao Heavy Industry Group has undergone several reorganizations and Du Guangquan has long become the chairman of the group, the old people still habitually call him Director Du.
Du Guangquan grinned and said, "Okay, then I'll play a game."
Although the game had not yet been completed, the two old men took the initiative to withdraw from the game and let Du Guangquan take over.
Du Guangquan's chess skills are not very good, and he played particularly badly today. He made several bad moves in a row, lost a chariot and two cannons, and was so anxious that his brows were furrowed.
The opponent laughed and said, "Director Du, you have to be careful. If nothing unexpected happens, you will lose in three moves."
Du Guangquan also saw the danger and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, I lost another game to you today, come to my house for a drink tomorrow night."
The other party waved his hand and said, "No need for that. You always lose in chess games. We can't always come to your house for food and drinks, can we? Sister-in-law warned us yesterday that we are not allowed to play chess with you in the future."
Knowing that the other party was joking on purpose, Du Guangquan patted his butt and happily pushed his bicycle towards the old yard.
Although most people in this residential building in Caogong Lane have made money and moved out over the years, Du Guangquan and his wife still live here. After locking the car downstairs, Du Guangquan walked upstairs slowly. As soon as he reached the second floor, he heard a voice coming from inside.
Du Guangquan was slightly startled, realizing that there was a guest at home. After opening the door, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa and talking with a young man.
The young man stood up, greeted Du Guangquan with a smile, and said, "Hello, Chairman Du!"
Du Guangquan looked the man up and down for a long time before recognizing him. He smiled and said, "Are you Mayor Fang?"
His wife was slightly stunned and looked at Fang Zhicheng in surprise and doubt.
Fang Zhicheng said embarrassedly, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you my identity just now. I was afraid that you wouldn't let me in, so I lied and said I was a salesman."
Salesman? Du Guangquan looked at his wife in surprise.
My wife laughed unhappily and said, "He knocked on the door, carrying a bunch of nutritional supplements. I asked him who he was, and he told me he was selling nutritional supplements."
Du Guangquan also found Fang Zhicheng's behavior unreasonable. Isn't it too absurd that a deputy mayor actually deceived an old man
Fang Zhicheng explained apologetically, "I've heard this story before. The home of Du Guangquan, chairman of Caoyao Heavy Industry Group, is never closed. Employees who need help can come to his house anytime, anywhere, but there is a prerequisite, that is, gifts are not accepted. I couldn't come empty-handed when I visited him rashly, so I brought some nutritional supplements. But I couldn't break the rules, so I pretended to be a salesman and 'sold' these nutritional supplements to the aunt."
Du Guangquan knew that Fang Zhicheng's series of means were just to indirectly bring gifts. The price of the nutritional supplements was sold to the boss at a low price.
Du Guangquan was both angry and amused by Fang Zhicheng's "cunningness", but overall he still had some new views on Fang Zhicheng.
Du Guangquan knew that Fang Zhicheng was a prominent figure, and he secretly thought that he would warn his wife later not to let strangers in. Fortunately, it was Fang Zhicheng this time. If it was someone with ulterior motives, who knows what kind of chaos would have happened.
Du Guangquan waved to Fang Zhicheng and said, "You came to see me, there must be something. Let's go to the study room for tea."
Fang Zhicheng nodded to his wife, then followed Du Guangquan into the study.
The house where Du Guangquan lives is not big. Although it has three bedrooms and a living room, the total area does not exceed 110 square meters. It is also an old-fashioned layout. In addition, there are a lot of things in the study, giving people a very crowded feeling.
Du Guangquan pointed to a chair and asked Fang Zhicheng to sit down. His eyes were clear as he asked, "We are just nodding acquaintances. We should not come to each other for no reason. Let's get straight to the point."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Du Guangquan looked ordinary, and his clothes and appearance were no different from those of ordinary old people, but as soon as he spoke, an aura involuntarily emerged from him.
Cao Yao Heavy Industry Group is a department-level state-owned enterprise. As the chairman, Du Guangquan is a department-level cadre, at the same level as Wang Guoyue and Qu Kang, and half a level higher than himself, the deputy mayor.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. I'm here today mainly for the restructuring of the Heavy Industry Group."
Du Guangquan stared into Fang Zhicheng's eyes for a long time, and said: "Caoyao Heavy Industry Group has been trying to reform and innovate for so many years, but it turns out that the more it tries, the greater the damage it suffers. A simple decision made by the top management may affect the lives of thousands of people."
Fang Zhicheng could hear helplessness in Du Guangquan's tone, but also his concern for his employees. The reason why Du Guangquan was so prestigious was mainly because he was devoted to the factory and treated his employees sincerely. So this was also the reason why Wang Guoyue didn't know how to start.
If Du Guangquan was a person with a weak character, Wang Guoyue could naturally ask him to step down in an upright manner. However, Du Guangquan had worked diligently in Caoyao Heavy Industry Group for so many years and was loved by employees. If such a person was treated harshly, it would easily cause social fluctuations and shocks.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said patiently: "Chairman Du, according to the current operation and management methods of Caoyao Heavy Industry Group, it is only delaying its death. As for those employees, they will eventually face greater survival difficulties due to the decline and death of the enterprise."
"Caogong must transform mainly because of the severe economic situation and the continuous decline in business volume in recent years. The inventory has been squeezed a lot, but the factory still maintains normal production. This is actually a way to deceive oneself. There are many ways to let employees survive. Take Yinzhou's Qinhuai Heavy Industry as an example. It has now transformed into the largest vertical online trading platform for heavy industry products in China. They no longer produce products, but provide channels for selling products, which has become their biggest source of profit. At the same time, because of the sales channels, they can feed back production, and Qinhuai's old factories have also come alive."
Du Guangquan's face became serious. He subconsciously took out a cigarette, lit it, put it to his mouth, and started smoking. Fang Zhicheng's words were still convincing. Qinhuai Heavy Industry was far inferior to Caoyao Heavy Industry in terms of scale and fame, but it had indeed been thriving in recent years and had successfully built the largest heavy machinery sales channel in the country.
Fang Zhicheng continued, "If Caoyao Heavy Industry Group is willing to reform, I will contact Qinhuai Heavy Industry and ask them to provide Caoyao Heavy Industry with new management methods, so as to give Caoyao Heavy Industry Group a new look."
