After chatting with Xie Feibai for a while, he went out when it was time for inspection. Xie Houming was outside the door before, talking to the people around him, but after Cheng Ran came out, no matter what he was saying, he stopped at this time. Several "black suits" around Xie Houming also turned to follow Xie Houming, with him at the head, forming a pyramid array in the middle waist and base, facing Cheng Ran. These "black suits" all had smiles on their faces, and were cordial and sincere. Although most of them had no idea who Cheng Ran was, it did not prevent them from speculating and being surprised in their hearts.
As the secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of Sichuan Investment Group, Xie Houming has always been known as "Xie Tiequan" within the group company, which has more than 10,000 employees in all its wholly-owned companies and holding companies. He is vigorous and resolute in his work and is extremely resolute in his will. When he took charge of Sichuan Investment, many people thought that he was just a leader who was going through the motions and singing the same tune. After all, compared with his predecessor who had worked for ten years and had a complex network of power, he, the new chairman, might not even be able to find the way in a big way.
After a few years of finding the way, you will be able to muddle through. The most important thing is not to make mistakes. Then you can use Sichuan Investment as a springboard to get a better job wherever you want in the future. It will be a matter of patting your butt and leaving. Leaving behind a decent business for those who come after you will be all good.
However, what was unexpected was that after taking office, Xie Houming did not follow the institutional practices of "paying homage to the mountain masters" or "testing the depths". Instead, he carried out drastic reforms without fear of offending any interest groups or anyone. He formed his own core team, and the people in the team called him "Boss Xie" in a gangster way. He conducted independent assessments and calculations on the group's internal affairs, and was called "Jinyiwei" by the outside world.
Xie Houming's life can be described as legendary, so this "legendary" boss caused a big ripple in Sichuan Investment. During that period, as many as 18 deputy general managers and general managers were replaced with signatures by him, spanning multiple companies in the province. At the same time, several people were reported to the police and arrested as a warning to others. After such an iron-blooded purge, those in high positions throughout the group were in panic, but the sound of firecrackers could be heard in some company family compounds.
However, Xie Houming's actions were not immune to all evil. It is said that they still angered a certain big boss, who launched some high-level meetings to criticize Xie Houming for being too harsh in the reform of the group. However, at that time, he took the lead in promoting the restructuring of Egang in his own way and revitalized a large amount of state-owned assets. For a while, all the noise was suppressed by the achievements he achieved with an iron fist. Sichuan Investment Group completely changed its appearance and embarked on a path of rapid development.
Even some opponents feel headache when they hear the "Xie Houming model" that is hyped up by the outside world. They have to smile bitterly, and some even criticize it with some acid, saying "big problems will arise sooner or later!"
When Xie Houming talks about plans and tasks, it seems like he has endless energy. There was even one time when he was conducting research on a group-holding company in a city, he found a problem and scolded the person in charge. At that time, a deputy mayor came to rescue him, but he was just outside the door. Xie Houming finished what he wanted to say before he went out and started chatting with the man with a livid face. However, he had a reputation as "Boss Xie", and in the end, people admired his tone.
Just now, Xie Houming was talking to them about the development and major projects of the group. One is that the group's main energy business accounts for a large proportion of the group's interests, so we need to sound the alarm and gradually shift the focus in the future. The second is to make Yiyang Coal Mine achieve a "green transformation" and at the same time specify a loss-reduction and loss-making plan for a subsidiary company with assets of over 100 million yuan. These are the major links that Xie Houming has focused on recently. But this young man came out, and Xie Houming stopped "on-site work" for him when he talked about the key points. This is a very rare side of this iron-fisted "Boss Xie" in their impression.
I can't help but wonder who in my memory has such qualifications? Maybe the mayor of Chengdu will be treated similarly
Xie Houming said to Cheng Ran, "Why don't you go back and take a walk downstairs?"
The two of them were walking along the grapevine corridor built for patients to enjoy the cool air at the bottom of the hospital. Cheng Ran asked, "Any progress on Xie Feibai's matter?" Cheng Ran could roughly guess the cause and effect of Xie Feibai's matter. Now he was thinking about the attitude of Xie Houming and the others and whether he should mention it, although Xie Feibai looked stubborn.
But Xie Houming said, "At that time, a friend reported to the police station. They also found out what happened in the area. There were witnesses at the scene of the incident. It was a fight. The person was a student from Northwest Middle School. The child's name is Zhang Heng. He was Feibai's junior high school classmate. His biological father died, and his mother married to the power company here. I guess Xie Feibai bullied him in the past. Now there should be public security personnel who have contacted the child, but it is probably just a warning and education, mainly to prevent dangerous things from happening again. We decided not to pursue the case and not to file a case."
Cheng Ran nodded, thinking that there was no need for him to tell everyone what he knew.
Xie Houming lit a cigarette between his fingers and said to Cheng Ran, "The situation in the US Internet is not good right now. I've seen many people analyze that the domestic telecommunications industry will also decline in the future. Your father's Fulong Company has encountered a big problem recently. I heard that your father has carried out a shareholding reform..." Because he had a cigarette between his right index and middle fingers, he had to point at Cheng Ran with his ring and pinky fingers, "Tell me honestly, this method of preventing similar companies from surviving, are you the one who instigated it behind the scenes?"
Cheng Ran shook his head, "It really wasn't me, my dad figured it out himself."
Xie Houming squinted his eyes in the curling smoke and looked at him, "In the Basic Law of Fulong that you made back then, there was a concept of virtual restricted shares, but it was a means of raising funds back then, but it still has a basis. If your father really decides to implement it, it should be derived from this point. You can only build a house if you have a foundation. This is not something that comes out of nothing."
"Some time ago, your father told me that winter was coming, and I asked your son to give you some advice. Your father pretended to be like that, but I saw that he was still smiling. What's the matter? What advice did you give him?"
Cheng Ran said, "Grab money, grab people, and seize opportunities."
Xie Houming was stunned for a moment, then he took a deep puff of his cigarette and laughed, "You are really clever, kid."
"That's fine. Originally, his mother and I were planning to send Xie Feibai abroad. His grades are okay now. I don't have as high expectations for him as your father has for you. Now that he can get into a second-tier university, I'm actually satisfied. With some work, we can get him into a good university abroad. But now I have a different idea. Let's let him stay in China. It's not that important what school he goes to. Ability is more important. Let him learn from you. I won't put too much pressure on him, but I believe he can handle it himself."
Cheng Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I protest. Don't blame me if you lead people astray."
"You can't lead him astray." Xie Houming bared his teeth, "Because this kid has never been upright. If you can lead him astray to the point where even I can't recognize him, I, Old Xie, will give you a thumbs up. There aren't many people I can give a thumbs up to."
"Thank you!" Cheng Ran said unhappily.
Xie Houming took another puff of his cigarette and said, "I might be transferred."
Cheng Ran looked at him in surprise. Xie Houming smiled like a distant mountain. "It's in the middle."
"Is there any accurate information?" Cheng Ran asked.
Xie Houming laughed, "What else?"
This time it was Cheng Ran's turn to give a thumbs up.
Xie Houming smiled happily, "Work hard, I will have you, Uncle Xie, in the future!"
In 2000, this country faced many pressing problems, internal and external worries, and fierce conflicts. However, there were also new and emerging changes.
The country is still weak, with humiliation, forbearance, hard-earned backwardness and unwilling self-esteem. There are also shocks brought by reform, the upcoming entry into the WTO, the Internet, basic industries... many wildly growing things.
The multi-level differentiation of the world, the rapid changes of the times, and the ever-changing patterns have also given space for people like Xie Houming, who may one day leave behind inscriptions on monuments, to show their talents.
People like Xie Houming and Cheng Feiyang are both rising.
If there are more and more people like this, I would actually be willing to be a small person in the corner.
However, as a "little man" under this big man, he will have to face another major decision in his life again and chart a new course and route.
It is like riding a horse and whipping it, it is like galloping through the waves.
It is to set sail and cross the vast ocean, it is to laugh and talk alone on the thousands of peaks.
It is everyone’s great journey.
