Chapter 551 Isn't it delicious to be a coal boss?

It was indeed difficult to find management talents in construction machinery enterprises at that time.

If it is a big city, the talent is more concentrated, and the situation will be better.

Ordinary small and medium-sized cities do not have so many talents, and it is difficult for a suitable person to go to the heavy machinery factory to preside over the work.

The heavy machinery factory is also a large enterprise with assets of 800 million. Such a scale is highly valued in a small place like Qinghe, and the person in charge should be carefully considered.

Zhang Tao is obviously a very suitable candidate, although his ability is very average, his level is very limited, and he is also a bit selfish, occasionally disregarding the overall situation. However, it is also necessary to be professional and professional, and to have experience and experience. At least the lame man can choose him if he pulls out the general.

Besides Zhang Tao, he really couldn't find any other suitable person for a while, so he was the only candidate.

Therefore, after research, it was decided to let Zhang Tao go to the heavy machinery factory as the acting director.

If Zhang Tao does a good job, the word agent will have the opportunity to be removed. If Zhang Tao does a bad job, it is estimated that he will continue to agent. After all, apart from Zhang Tao, there is no more suitable candidate.

After talking with the leader of the state-owned assets department, Zhang Tao walked out of the office. At this time, he only felt light on his feet, as if he was about to become a feather and ascend to an immortal.

Not long ago, Zhang Tao was like a bereaved dog and was kicked out of the Fukang Engineering Company. In just a few days, he became the acting director of the heavy machinery factory!

Happiness came so suddenly, Zhang Tao was overwhelmed and a little overwhelmed.

I really didn't expect that, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is another village. Although I was driven away by the Fukang project, I found a better job!

The acting director of the heavy machinery factory is the top leader anyway. This is the power in his hands. Isn't it better than the Fukang project, where there is a supreme emperor on it!

If the heavy machinery factory is acquired by foreign capital in the future, wouldn't it become a foreign-funded enterprise, and then I will be an executive of the foreign-funded enterprise! Shouldn't it be time to learn English?

In this way, I also have to thank Li Weidong. If he hadn't kicked me out, I wouldn't be the leader of this heavy machinery factory! There is a saying that if you don't die, you will have good luck. The ancients did not deceive me!

Zhang Tao obviously didn't realize that all this was done by Li Weidong, and Zhang Tao was just a pawn that Li Weidong used to trick foreigners.

...

at the same time,

Li Weidong was in the office, meeting the Infernal Affairs.

I saw Li Weidong smiled and asked, You are on Zhang Tao's side, haven't you leaked?

Infernal Affairs shook his head: No, until he resigned, he still trusted me.

Very good. Li Weidong said, took out a key and a real estate certificate from the drawer, and handed it to Infernal Affairs.

You have worked hard for the past two years. There is a house here. If you have time, go to a house! Li Weidong said.

Thank you, Chairman. Infernal Affairs excitedly picked up the real estate certificate and took a closer look. It was a recently developed high-end community, or a large apartment with three bedrooms and two halls.

Infernal Affairs knows that this house is worth more than 200,000 yuan. With his salary, it will take a long time to buy it without eating or drinking.

After a few years of infernal affairs, in exchange for a big house, this is really worth it!

Li Weidong went on to say, I originally planned to send you to the engineering department, but I just heard news that Zhang Tao has been appointed as the director of the heavy machinery factory. So I would like to ask your opinion whether you are willing to continue. Go undercover with Zhang Tao?

If you continue to stay with Zhang Tao, the salary here will be paid. Of course, if you don't want to, then stay and still go to the engineering department to be responsible for infrastructure.

Three years and three years, when is the head?

So Infernal Affairs hesitated for a moment and asked, Chairman, if I continue to follow Zhang Tao, how many years will I have to stay by his side?

Three to five years! I estimate that the heavy machinery factory can last three or five years. Li Weidong continued; You don't have to worry, you can go back and think about it before answering me.

Infernal Affairs thought about it, going to be an undercover agent for three or five years, maybe he could earn another suite. The key is that you can receive wages on both sides, which is equivalent to doing one job and receiving two dollars. This kind of business is cost-effective!

So Infernal Affairs nodded: Chairman, I am willing to go to Zhang Tao's side and continue to be an undercover agent!

Okay, then you go through a resignation procedure as soon as possible, so that Zhang Tao can trust you more. In addition, Zhang Tao's old subordinates, you should take the opportunity to walk around more, it is best to call them all together. Li Weidong said.

Those old subordinates of Zhang Tao, if they continue to stay in the Fukang project, may become a hidden danger for the company, and maybe they will also become infernal affairs around Li Weidong, so Li Weidong will clean up all of Zhang Tao's old subordinates.

...

In the evening, Infernal Affairs came to Zhang Tao's house with gifts such as tobacco and alcohol.

Old leader, I want to continue to follow you! Infernal Affairs continued with a sincere expression: In Fukang Engineering Company, everyone knows that I am your secretary. Now that you have resigned and left, Li Weidong will definitely give me small shoes. Wear, this Beverly Project, I can't stay any longer!

Seeing Infernal Affairs coming to defect, Zhang Tao still has a sense of accomplishment in his heart, which shows that he is still quite popular.

But Zhang Tao still opened his mouth and said, I just took office at the heavy machinery factory, and I'm just an acting factory manager at the moment. If my ass is still hot, I'm going to put people in the factory, I'm afraid it will attract people's tongues!

Old leader, in order to join you, I have already resigned from the Fukang project. If you don't take me in, I will become a jobless and blind stray. You can't help me! Infernal Affairs pleaded with a face. The expression on his face, he was about to cry.

As expected of doing Infernal Affairs, his acting skills are comparable to Dehua and Chaowei.

You quit your job! Zhang Tao was shocked, but he didn't expect the secretary to be so loyal to him.

Infernal Affairs continued; In addition, I also went to Minister Liu, Minister Hu, and Minister Sun to find out. I heard that you have become the director of heavy machinery, and they are also willing to resign and join you!

Oh, didn't I tell you, I just went to the heavy machinery factory, and my butt is still hot! It's okay to arrange for you alone, if you arrange so many people, you will definitely be talked about! This is inappropriate, very inappropriate. That's right. Zhang Tao said so, but his heart was full of joy.

Infernal Affairs smiled, lowered his voice and said, Old leader, if you bring Minister Sun and Minister Hu to the heavy machinery factory, then the core management positions will be yours, and the position of your factory director will be yours. Not as stable as Mount Tai!

Moreover, more than half of the cadres of the heavy machinery factory have followed Ding Youliang to the Fukang project. Now many positions are vacant. It is a person who has been placed several times and whom you can trust!

Zhang Tao nodded silently, what Infernal Affairs said was indeed very reasonable.

If all those old subordinates can be placed in various positions in the heavy machinery factory, then Zhang Tao will naturally be able to take the position of acting director.

...

Ding Youliang took a group of backbones from the heavy machinery factory and moved to Fukang Engineering Company.

Zhang Tao, on the other hand, took his old subordinates to work in a heavy machinery factory.

The two sides played a wave of switching homes, each occupying the other's base, and then developing again.

After Zhang Tao became the acting factory director, he placed his old subordinates in various important positions, and instantly grasped the power of the heavy machinery factory.

On Li Weidong's side, the two companies, Fukang Engineering and Fukang Agricultural Machinery, have carried out equity reforms.

The reforms of the two companies were carried out almost at the same time, and the content was similar. All of them took out 40% of the equity and distributed them to the management team and scientific research team.

In the future, the management team and scientific research team of the two companies will each enjoy 20% of the shares, and at the end of the year, dividends will be distributed according to the company's profits.

As for front-line workers, they are not entitled to share dividends.

For manufacturing, frontline workers will always be replaceable. There are a lot of unskilled jobs in the job market. As long as the money is in place for skilled jobs, there is no need to worry about no one coming.

In the future, many front-line jobs in the manufacturing industry will simply replace humans with robots, and they can work with electricity, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.

This is the case in the manufacturing industry. The lowest-level workers are also the easiest to be replaced, and those who are most easily replaced often become the most severely squeezed.

Therefore, in modern manufacturing, front-line workers have always been ineligible for dividends.

Management positions and scientific research positions are not so easily replaced. You can't expect robots to formulate the strategic direction of the company, or rely on robots to develop advanced technologies!

At the very least, your technology is not yet at that level. Even the most advanced AI cannot do high-level management and R\u0026D like a human being.

Therefore, the management team and scientific research team are eligible to enjoy share dividends.

In fact, this model is not a new product. Shanxi merchants have used similar equity incentives for hundreds of years.

The ancient Shanxi merchants created a system of top-notch shares. The so-called top-end stocks, we know that they do not have funds, but use labor to occupy shares, which are also called labor shares in some places.

Corresponding to the top body stock, it is the silver stock, that is, taking the silver to directly invest in the stock.

This set of equity incentive system is very effective, otherwise Shanxi merchants will not be able to grow and develop.

At the beginning, top-level shares were only held by the shopkeeper class. If you want to get top-level shares, you can only be promoted to shopkeeper.

This class of shopkeepers is equivalent to the current positions of CEO, CFO, COO and so on. For ordinary apprentices to be promoted to the level of shopkeepers, it is similar to how difficult it is for newcomers in the workplace to be promoted to corporate executives.

In the Qing Dynasty, a big Shengkui firm appeared, and began to give its guys a share.

What Da Shengkui did was trade with Mongolia. This trade route was more difficult than other routes, and there were even dangers to life on the way. And the guys dared to fight for their lives only after they got the top stock, so Da Shengkui also succeeded in monopolizing more trade with Mongolia.

It can be seen that the share incentive system is definitely a great tool for the development of the enterprise. The guys have taken the top shares and can risk their lives to make money for the business.

Of course, modern manufacturing does not need employees to risk their lives, but the equity incentive system is still one of the most effective incentives.

In the 1990s, the equity incentive system was not common in China, and only a few companies such as Huawei were using it.

After all, state-owned enterprises were still in the dominant position at that time, and among state-owned enterprises, equity was not something to be discussed, and naturally there was no equity incentive system.

While Fukang Engineering and Fukang Agricultural Machinery have developed to the present, the original salary incentive system can no longer meet the needs of enterprise expansion.

Continuing to use the salary plus bonus model as in the past, the management team and the scientific research team are easy to lay flat, and the business expansion of the company will slow down.

Therefore, a more effective incentive method must be used to ensure the healthy development of the enterprise.

With more and more industries under Li Weidong's command, he did not have so much energy and kept his eyes on Fukang Engineering and agricultural machinery.

If the management team does something detrimental to the company and deceives it, Li Weidong may not be able to deal with it in time.

After the equity incentive plan is taken out, similar things can be avoided to the greatest extent.

Because the management team is to receive dividends, their workers' interests are directly linked to the interests of the company. At this time, if someone harms the interests of the company, it is equivalent to harming the interests of everyone, and everyone will definitely attack them.

Therefore, the equity incentive plan is not only a means of incentives, but also a means of making executives check each other.

From the perspective of the company as a whole, everyone in the management team knows that the more the company earns, the more dividends they get. The management team will spontaneously unite, and even if there are differences, it is easier to compromise with each other to solve the problem.

From an individual point of view, a more effective mutual supervision mechanism will also be formed to avoid the phenomenon of favoritism and fraud. If there is a problem with a certain link or a certain person, others will correct it in time based on the principle of safeguarding their own interests, instead of will be ignored.

For a shopkeeper like Li Weidong, this management model is simply perfect.

...

After completing the reform of Fukang Engineering and Fukang Agricultural Machinery, Li Weidong can also return to Beijing with peace of mind.

As soon as he returned to the capital, Zhao Jinshan came to the door.

Wei Dong, you have to help me! Zhao Jinshan said with a sad face.

What's wrong? What trouble did you encounter? Li Weidong asked in surprise.

The reason why he was surprised was that Li Weidong knew Zhao Jinshan's background very well.

Zhao Jinshan said, I lost a lot of money!

No way? The Nasdaq has been rising all the time, and it's all going to 2,500. Even if you don't buy technology stocks such as Microsoft and Apple, such as medical, pharmaceutical, and electronic hardware industries, you won't lose money. ! Li Weidong said.

Nasdaq made money, but Russia lost! Zhao Jinshan said.

Russia? Li Weidong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, Are you going to Russia to make a fortune with the financial predators?

Zhao Jinshan nodded honestly: It's all my fault for not listening to you, you didn't let me go, but I saw those international financial giants go to Russia, and they all made money.

I was also greedy. I couldn't hold back for a while, so I followed. I wanted to make some money and left. I didn't know that I really used two tricks that hurt both sides and announced a delay in repayment. Now that the ruble has collapsed, my funds have gone into it.

I don't know if I can get the money back, and even if the ruble looks like a bear now, even if I get the money back, I don't know how much is left. My brother Weidong, you have to help me!

Li Weidong spread his hands: What can I do? Even if I have the ability, I can't fight against a country, let alone a big country like Russia.

Then my money will go to waste? Zhao Jinshan looked anxious.

Russia just said that it would postpone the repayment of the debt, but it didn't say that it would not be repaid. Li Weidong paused, and then said: And as far as I know, Russia is also willing to pay off the debt in kind. The big deal is that you want something, it's better than nothing!

Russia has a vast land and abundant resources. They are rich in oil, natural gas and mineral resources. In addition, Russia's heavy industry is also very developed. They should have a lot of heavy industry products and can always repay their debts.

There are, but there are. When I asked, the Russians asked me directly, do you want Katyusha rockets? And they gave one for ten. I am a financial person, what do I want rockets for! Zhao Jinshan couldn't help but complain. .

Didn't I give you military planes and anti-aircraft missiles? Li Weidong asked with a smile.

Why do you want that thing? I have nothing to do with the control missiles to play! Besides, if I want it, others have to give it! Zhao Jinshan said.

It's also true that this type of weapon is relatively high-tech, and it's not like Katyusha rockets that are given away casually.

Li Weidong sighed lightly, and then said: Brother Zhao, I really have no good way to deal with Russia's debts. At present, it seems that the best solution is to pay off the debts in kind.

Well, when the spring flowers bloom tomorrow and the weather is warmer, I will accompany you on a trip to Russia to see if there are any valuable mechanical products you can get back. I am an expert in this respect. In short, try to minimize losses!

I didn't listen to you this time, but I lost a lot of money. It's my fault for being too greedy. Now I've transferred all the funds back, and even sold the stocks on Nasdaq, so it's safe to do so. Zhao Jinshan Said with a look of remorse.

Li Weidong smiled slightly, Zhao Jinshan's willingness to eat a cut and grow his wisdom is a good thing.

So Li Weidong comforted: Brother Zhao, there are many places worth investing in. If you keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood, the money you lose today will always be made back in the future. For example, those shops in Causeway Bay, after ten years, It will definitely make you a profit.

I believe you, so I will keep all the real estate I purchased on Hong Kong Island this time, and I will wait for the appreciation in the future.

Zhao Jinshan paused, then said, Brother Weidong, I have suffered a big loss this time, and now I think it is more secure to follow you to make money, and now there is no way to make a fortune, you are pointing me. , let's do it together, and after making money, let's make five every two additions!

Li Weidong thought about it and said, There is really a way to make a lot of money now. If you are interested, let's try it?

What's the way? Zhao Jinshan asked immediately.

Coal mines. Li Weidong continued; Brother Zhao, I know you have a wide network of connections. Can you buy some of the coal mines in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia?

What do you want that thing for? Zhao Jinshan curled his lips and continued: The price of coal is not high now, and it can't be sold in the market. The price of electricity is controlled by the state, and it is sold. It might be a loss to go.”

Li Weidong replied: It's because the price of coal is cheap now that we have to hurry up to buy coal mines that have large output, good quality and easy mining.

In the late 1990s, coal prices began to fall, and the coal mining industry also began a wave of reshuffles. Many coal bosses left the industry and switched to other businesses.

However, after entering the 21st century, coal prices have entered a stage of rapid rise.

At this point two things happened. First, China's accession to the WTO, the manufacturing industry began to develop rapidly, and the demand for coal also increased year by year.

Second, the state stopped issuing the guidance price of thermal coal and implemented market pricing. Since the comprehensive opening of coal prices, coal prices can be said to change day by day, and coal mining has officially entered the hugely profitable industry.

But at this time, the coal bosses were not at the level of spending a fortune. Until 2005, the state promulgated the Several Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Coal Industry, and capital began to flow into the coal industry.

With the involvement of capital, the entire coal industry is naturally rising. And the intervention of a large amount of capital will inevitably lead to blind expansion.

In 2012, when the coal price reached an inflection point, the overcapacity caused by blind expansion made many coal bosses heavily indebted, even bankrupt, and became old lairs.

It is undeniable that the decade from 2002 to 2012 was a golden decade for the coal industry and a decade of huge profits for the coal industry.

Taking advantage of the low coal prices in the late 1990s, buying high-quality coal mines, waiting for a few years to become a coal boss and happily counting money every day, isn't it fragrant?

However, something like coal mines cannot be bought by anyone who wants to buy them. It requires some relationship resources.

Therefore, Li Weidong wanted to be a coal boss, and he really pulled Zhao Jinshan. With Zhao Jinshan's background, he could easily acquire a large coal mine.

In order to pull Zhao Jinshan onto the chariot, Li Weidong started a new round of flickering.

For example, after the Asian financial crisis, the manufacturing industry will transfer to China; for example, after joining the WTO, China's manufacturing industry will grow rapidly, etc., and then add some economic predictions.

When it comes to forecasting at the economic level, Zhao Jinshan knows that no one is more accurate than Chairman Li in front of him.

Many things Li Weidong said, although Zhao Jinshan was difficult to digest for a while, but Zhao Jinshan subconsciously felt that nine out of ten things he couldn't understand were the truth!

How many people can understand the theory of relativity? How many people can understand A Brief History of Time?

When Li Weidong predicted the economic crisis in Southeast Asia, Zhao Jinshan didn't understand much, but in the end, didn't Li Weidong get it right!

After Li Weidong's trick, Zhao Jinshan finally decided to go to Inner Mongolia to buy a coal mine!
