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

It was indeed difficult to find management talents for construction machinery companies 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 to find suitable candidates to take charge of the work in the heavy machinery factory for a while.

After all, the Heavy Machinery Factory is a large enterprise with assets of 800 million yuan. In a small place like Qinghe, such a scale is highly valued, and the person in charge must 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 a little selfish, occasionally disregarding the overall situation. But at any rate, you need to be professional and professional, and you need experience and experience. At least if the general is selected from among the cripples, he can be selected.

And apart from Zhang Tao, there was really no other suitable person for a while, so he was the only candidate.

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

If Zhang Tao does a good job, the word agent may be removed. If Zhang Tao does not do well, he will probably continue to be an agent. After all, apart from Zhang Tao, there is no other 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 that his feet were light and light, as if he was about to transform into a feather and become a fairy.

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

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

I didn't expect it. There is no way out, there is no way out, 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 at least the number one leader. He has great power in his hands. Isn't it better than Fukang Engineering, where there is an overlord!

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

In this way, I also have to thank Li Weidong, if he hadn't kicked me away, I wouldn't be the leader of this heavy machinery factory! There is a saying that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune. The ancients do not deceive me!

Zhang Tao obviously didn't realize that all of this was Li Weidong's game, and Zhang Tao was just a chess piece used by Li Weidong to deceive foreigners.

At the same time, Li Weidong was in the office, meeting the Infernal Affairs.

I saw Li Weidong asked with a smile: You are on Zhang Tao's side, haven't you leaked it yet?

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

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

You have worked hard for the past two years. There is a house here, so go to a house when you have time! 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, and it was a large apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

Infernal Affairs knew that this house was worth more than 200,000 yuan, and with his salary, it would take him a long time to afford it without eating or drinking.

After several years of being Infernal Affairs, in exchange for a big house, this is really worth it!

Li Weidong went on to say; I originally planned to let you go to the engineering department, but I just heard the news that Zhang Tao has been appointed as the director of the heavy machinery factory. So I would like to ask for your opinion, whether you are willing to continue To work as an undercover agent next to Zhang Tao?

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

Three years and three years, when is the end

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 guess the heavy machinery factory can last for three to five years.

Li Weidong continued; You don't have to worry, you can go back and think about it first, and then answer me.

Infernal Affairs thought about it, and if he went to be an undercover agent for three to five years, he might be able to earn another flat. The key is that you can receive wages on both sides, which is equivalent to doing one job and receiving two payments. This kind of business is a good deal!

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 should go through the resignation procedures 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 move around more. It is best to call them over. Li Weidong said.

Zhang Tao's old subordinates, if they continue to stay in Fukang Engineering, may become a hidden danger to the company, and they may also become Li Weidong's infernal affairs, so Li Weidong wants to clean up all Zhang Tao's old subordinates.

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

Old leader, I still want to continue to follow you! Infernal Affairs continued with a sincere face: 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 What to wear, this Fukang project, I can't stay any longer!

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

But Zhang Tao still said, I just went to the heavy machinery factory to take up the post, and I'm just an acting factory manager. I'm afraid I will attract people's tongues if I put people in the factory before my ass is hot!

Old leader, in order to go to you, I have already resigned from my job at Fukang Engineering. If you don't take me in, I will be unemployed. You can't do nothing! Infernal Affairs begged His face looked like he was about to cry.

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

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

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

Oh, didn't I say that, I just went to the heavy machinery factory, and my buttocks haven't warmed up yet! It's okay to arrange you alone, but if you arrange so many people, you will definitely be chewed out! This is inappropriate, very inappropriate That's right. Zhang Tao said so, but in his heart he was flattered.

Infernal Affairs smiled, lowered his voice and said: Old leader, if you take 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 It's not as stable as Mount Tai!

Moreover, more than half of the cadres in the heavy machinery factory have followed Ding Youliang to Fukang Engineering. Now there are many vacancies in many positions.

Zhang Tao nodded silently, what Infernal Affairs said is 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 secure the position of acting factory director.

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

And Zhang Tao took his old subordinates to work in the heavy machinery factory.

The two sides played a wave of changing homes, each occupying the other's base, and then re-developed.

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, carried out equity reforms.

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

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

As for front-line workers, they do not enjoy the treatment of share dividends.

For the manufacturing industry, front-line employees are always substitutes. There are a lot of unskilled jobs in the job market. As long as the money is paid for the 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 most basic workers are also the easiest to be replaced, and the easiest to be replaced often become the most severely squeezed.

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

And management positions and scientific research positions are not so easy to be replaced. You can't rely on robots to formulate the strategic direction of the enterprise, or rely on robots to develop advanced technologies!

At least your technology is not yet at that level, even with the most advanced AI, it is impossible to do high-level management and research and development like a human.

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 as early as hundreds of years ago.

The ancient Shanxi merchants created a top body stock system. The so-called top body shares, know that no funds are used, but labor is used to occupy shares. In some places, they are also called labor shares.

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

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

At the beginning, the top body stock could only be held by the shopkeeper class. If a guy wanted to get the top body stock, he had to be promoted to the shopkeeper.

This shopkeeper class is equivalent to the current CEO, cfo, coo and other positions. And it is almost as difficult for ordinary apprentices to be promoted to the class of shopkeepers as it is for newcomers in the workplace to be promoted to corporate executives.

When Gu arrived in the Qing Dynasty, a Dashengkui firm appeared, and began to give top shares to the guys.

Da Shengkui is doing trade with Mongolia. This trade route is more difficult than other routes, and life may even be in danger on the road. And the guys dared to fight with their lives only after they got the top stock, so Da Shengkui also succeeded in monopolizing more trade with Mongolia.

It can be seen from this that the stock incentive system is definitely a great weapon for the development of the enterprise. The guys have taken the top shares and can risk their lives to make money for the firm.

Of course, modern manufacturing does not require employees to work hard, 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 probably only a few companies such as Huawei were using it.

At that time, after all, state-owned enterprises occupied an absolute dominant position, and among state-owned enterprises, equity was not a matter of discussion, and naturally there was no equity incentive system.

With the development of Fukang Engineering and Fukang Agricultural Machinery, 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 scientific research team will easily lie flat, and the business expansion of the company will also slow down.

Therefore, it is necessary to use a more effective incentive method to ensure the healthy development of the enterprise.

With more and more industries under Li Weidong's command, he does not have so much energy, and has been staring at Fukang Engineering and Agricultural Machinery.

If the management team does something harmful to the company and cheats, 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 going to get dividends, and their workers' interests are directly linked to the interests of the company. At this time, if someone harms the interests of the enterprise, it means harming the interests of everyone, and everyone will definitely attack.

Therefore, the equity incentive plan is not only a means of incentives, but also a means for executives to restrain 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 unite spontaneously, 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 in a certain link or a certain person, other people will correct it in time based on the principle of safeguarding their own interests. will turn a blind eye.

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

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

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

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

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

The reason why he was surprised was because Li Weidong knew Zhao Jinshan's background very well. He felt that there should be nothing wrong with Zhao Jinshan.

Zhao Jinshan said, I lost a lot of money!

No way? The Nasdaq index has been rising, and it's heading towards 2500 points. Even if you didn't buy technology stocks such as Microsoft and Apple, industries such as medical pharmaceuticals and electronic hardware, you wouldn't lose money. ! Li Weidong said.

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

Russia? Li Weidong was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, Could it be that you went to Russia to make a fortune with the financial giants?

Zhao Jinshan nodded honestly: It's all my fault that I didn't listen to you, you didn't let me go at the beginning, but I saw those international financial giants go to Russia, and they all made money in the end.

I was also greedy, so I couldn't hold it back for a while, so I followed, wanting to earn a sum of money and leaving, but who knew that I really used two tricks that would hurt both sides, and announced a delay in repayment. Now that the ruble has collapsed, all my funds have been trapped.

I don't know if I can get the money back, and with Ruble's current state, 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? No matter how capable I am, I can't fight against a country, let alone a big country like Russia.

Then my money will be wasted? Zhao Jinshan looked anxious.

Russia just said that the debt was postponed, 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 repay the debt in kind. At worst, you can ask for something, which is better than nothing!

Russia has a vast territory and rich 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 repay their debts from time to time.

Yes, yes. When I went to ask, the Russians asked me directly, do you want Katyusha rockets? And they even gave away one out of ten. I'm a financial person, so why do I want rockets? Zhao Jinshan couldn't help complaining. .

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

What do you want that thing for? It's free to play with anti-aircraft missiles! Besides, if I'm willing to ask for it, they have to give it to me! Zhao Jinshan said.

It's true, this type of weapon has a relatively high technical content, and it's not like giving away casually like Katyusha rockets.

Li Weidong sighed lightly, and then said: Brother Zhao, I really have no way to solve the problem of Russia's debts. At present, the best solution is to pay off the debt in kind.

How about this, when the spring is warm and the weather is warmer tomorrow, I will accompany you to Russia to see what valuable mechanical products can be brought back. I am an expert in this area. In short try to minimize losses!

I didn't listen to you this time, but I lost a lot. It's all because I was too greedy. Now I have transferred all the funds back, and even sold the stocks on Nasdaq, and I am safe. Zhao Jinshan Said with a face of self-blame.

Li Weidong smiled slightly, and it was a good thing that Zhao Jinshan was willing to suffer and gain wisdom.

So Li Weidong comforted him and said: Brother Zhao, there are many places worth investing in. If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. If you lose money today, you will always make it back in the future. For example, those shops in Causeway Bay, after ten years, It will definitely make you a fortune.

I trust you, so I keep all the real estate I bought on Hong Kong Island in my hands this time, and wait for it to appreciate in value later.

Zhao Jinshan paused for a moment, then continued: Brother Weidong, I suffered a big loss this time. I now feel that it is safer to make money with you. Is there any way to get rich now? You are pointing me , let’s do it together, and if we make money, let’s add two to five!”

Li Weidong thought for a while and said, Now there is really a way to make a lot of money. If you are interested, let's give it a try?

What way? Zhao Jinshan asked immediately.

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

Why do you want that thing? Zhao Jinshan curled his lips, and then said: The price of coal is not high now, and it can't be sold at a high price in the market. The price of electric coal is strictly controlled by the state. Sell it It might be a loss to go.”

Li Weidong replied: It is because the price of coal is cheap now that we have to quickly buy the bottom coal mines, and buy the ones that have a large output, good quality, and are easy to mine.

At the end of the 1990s, coal prices began to fall, and the coal mining industry also began a wave of reshuffle. 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, after China joined the WTO, the manufacturing industry began to develop rapidly, and the demand for coal also increased year by year.

The second is that the state stopped issuing guidance prices for thermal coal and implemented market pricing. Since the full liberalization of electricity coal prices, coal prices have changed day by day, and coal mining has officially entered the profiteering industry.

But the coal boss at this time is not at the point where he spends a lot of money. Until 2005, the state promulgated Several Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of the Coal Industry, and capital began to pour into the coal industry.

With the intervention of capital, the entire coal industry will naturally rise. The intervention of a large amount of capital inevitably leads to blind expansion.

In 2012, when the price of coal ushered in an inflection point, the overcapacity caused by blind expansion made many coal bosses heavily in debt, and even went bankrupt, and became old people.

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

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

However, things like coal mines cannot be bought by anyone who wants to buy them. They need some relationship resources.

Therefore, if Li Weidong wanted to be a coal boss, he really attracted Zhao Jinshan. Only through Zhao Jinshan's background could he acquire a large coal mine relatively easily.

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

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 predictions on the economic level, Zhao Jinshan knows that no one is more accurate than Chairman Li in front of him.

Many things that Li Weidong said were difficult for Zhao Jinshan to digest for a while, but Zhao Jinshan subconsciously felt that most of what he didn't understand was 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 quite understand it, but in the end, Li Weidong was right!

After Li Weidong's fooling around, Zhao Jinshan finally decided to go to Inner Mongolia to buy coal mines!

No pop-up window, timely update!
