Chapter 870: The Hardest Thing to Guard Against Is a Thief in the House [Asking for a Monthly Ticket]
When it comes to the large aircraft project, there are quite a few people who have some doubts about choosing an old Jewish man of this age to be the managing director. They think that as a strategic project of China, it is not appropriate to let a foreigner serve as the general manager. The manager was really surprised.
Others have doubts.
Will selecting a foreigner as the general manager leak some country's secrets and cause very heavy losses? Some people also expressed different opinions on Maximus's old age, thinking that he was an old man who was almost seventy years old.
Can you still hold on to this?
Wen Chengdu of the project is unknown, how can he be allowed to take up such an important position? Even if you want to choose a general manager, he should be a talented person of this year, right? Fan Wubing was dismissive of this, and the reasons he made public seemed very convincing.
"As for the large aircraft project, if we cannot achieve results within ten years by digesting and utilizing the original technology and supplementing it with the technological level of the current era, then I am afraid that it will not be achieved in another fifty years. There is no achievement anymore.”
Fan Wubing said to the project leaders of various departments, "Ten years is nothing to Mark. After all, it is not that there are not many people who are still serving as presidents of large international companies at the age of eighty, and it is not that there are not a few. There are quite a few people! I also believe in Mark’s ability.
And his enthusiasm for work far exceeds that of many senior managers in China. At least he is dedicated enough! If you're going to send me a bunch of bureaucrats to hold me back.
I don't mind driving them back one by one! My place here is to rely on achievements to speak for itself, not to pursue political achievements for gold plating! "In fact, there is no need for him to say it.
Most people who don’t have a lot of money don’t dare to hang out here. After all, it’s a big project in the name of a joint venture. The final budget may exceed hundreds of billions of yuan for a big project. It’s certainly good to be able to serve in this kind of management organization. , It will help your career, but if you are not capable enough to occupy these positions, forcing yourself in will only put you in a dilemma, in which case the gain will outweigh the loss.
After all, there are many places where you can make political achievements, and there is no shortage of places like this. You must know that some places are not only stable, but also have a lot of money and water, which is suitable for bureaucrats to stay. On the contrary, in large enterprises with too high technical content, I want to It is too difficult to make ends meet.
If I had some ideas, I wouldn't be willing to come here to gain seniority.
In fact, as the managing director, Maximus is mainly responsible for Fan Wubing personally, so he has established a team.
Except for some old subordinates who followed him, the rest are mainly some outstanding managers from the headquarters of Fan Investment Group.
If you want to manage a large group with more than 200,000 employees, you can't do it without a certain amount of courage. Of course, you can't do it without a capable management team. Currently, Fanshi Investment Group is acquiring various companies through large capital injections. shares, and at the same time use his status as a major shareholder to integrate all these companies together. Integrate their resources with efficient digital management and an experienced senior management team, so that a strong and powerful company can be formed in a short period of time. An efficient workforce can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
In fact, basically no one can find fault with Maximos' work experience. After all, someone who has served as a senior vice president in three major American companies is also a very successful business person.
Moreover, as a Jew who was the best at business, Maximus' aura was very dazzling.
The only thing that makes people uneasy now is that he is a foreigner, which makes some sensitive departments feel a bit unreliable. If some confidential information is leaked, it will be great fun.
In fact, if it were anyone else, Fan Wubing would not dare to hand over such an important position to him.
But Maximus is different. As his partner, Maximus no longer worries about money. Now he is invited to serve as the managing director of the Aviation Manufacturing Group Company. He actually wants to gain a good reputation. That's all, and what I value about him is not only his management experience, but also his foreign status.
With Maximus as a foreign executive, he can operate the new company more internationally, and the benefits are obvious.
In addition, the Aviation Manufacturing Corporation of China under the leadership of Fan Wubing has also launched a large-scale global recruitment campaign for senior managers. The recruitment positions cover operations management, production management, marketing, and technology research and development. , capital operations, etc. This is also the first time that a Chinese industrial enterprise has openly recruited senior managers overseas.
Although Fan Wubing has been emphasizing that China Aviation Manufacturing Corporation is a completely civilian enterprise and produces large civil aircraft, it is obvious that all departments do not think so. They still regard this newly formed group company as customary. Therefore, many people have expressed different opinions. They believe that military industrial enterprises are the lifeblood of the country and the nation, involve national security and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation, and are highly confidential and sensitive. It is very inappropriate for foreigners to be involved as senior executives in such fields.
Especially for key areas and departments involved in the research and development and application of military technology, we must always maintain a high degree of vigilance and confidentiality, and cannot tolerate any luck or negligence.
The hidden dangers and risks that such recruitment brings to our industrial career are too great. No one can bear the responsibility if something goes wrong.
It can even be said that such a recruitment policy that is full of high-risk factors should not be integrated at all. If it does not work well, it will attract wolves into the house, causing irreparable losses and harm.
Although the new group company also stated that it will conduct background checks and sign confidentiality agreements on the foreign executives it hires.
But it is obvious that background checks and confidentiality agreements cannot eliminate many people's doubts and worries.
It is also impossible to fundamentally prevent accidents and major leaks from happening.
In this regard, Jiang Lue from the Ministry of Security also found Fan Wubing and strongly expressed dissatisfaction with his decision.
He believes that external work has always been a major weakness of many departments. They do not publicize what should be publicized to the outside world, and do not understand what should be understood. As a result, people in many countries around the world still think that China still lacks food and clothing. A few people It's a situation where we can't just talk together casually.
This is in addition to the slander and smear campaign by hostile forces.
Our own inaction and mediocrity in external work are also important reasons.
With such a level of external work, it is not difficult to determine the quality and credibility of the background checks, not to mention complete strangers, even for the foreigners to be hired. Once you know something, it is not easy to finally get a true and comprehensive picture.
It is not difficult to imagine that what you get with a lot of effort is mostly external and superficial things, and it is difficult to see the hidden and deep things.
For foreigners, there are no conditions or means in the country to carry out detailed investigation and investigation, especially regarding spiritual aspects such as ideological tendencies and values, as well as whether they have espionage missions, etc. These cannot be seen from the outside.
As for strangers who know nothing about it, how to distinguish the authenticity of the background information and circumstances obtained through investigation? It is possible that you are confused by the illusion and are still in the dark, because there is nothing to compare and refer to for identification on this issue.
And Jiang Lue also said, “Now that the recruitment information has been made public, foreign spy agencies will immediately package one.
The spy Ying Cheng arrived in time.
May I ask what advanced methods and means the relevant departments have for screening? We may not have a good understanding of the thoughts, morals and values of Chinese executives, let alone foreigners living in other countries? In view of this, foreign executives must not be hired in our military industrial enterprises. Who can guarantee that we will not end up with the consequences of opening the door to robbers? Even if someone dares to guarantee it, I can’t believe it.”
After hearing these words from Jiang Lue, Fan Wubing just smiled.
"Don't laugh! I am doing this for your own good and for the sake of national security, so I came here to say these things to you. Do you think I have nothing to do?" Jiang Lue saw Fan Wubing's face full of smiles. Yi, said immediately very unhappy.
He has been in a relationship with Fan Wubing for many years, and they have always gotten along well. In addition, because of his special position, he can communicate many things directly. However, he is not afraid that Fan Wubing will not like to hear it. Guan Zhen is a spy with a special mission, or someone with hostile ideologies and values.
He won't reveal any flaws easily, and it's hard for you to detect any abnormalities.
After they have completely or most of the secrets.
Even if he returns to China through normal channels, we cannot interfere, and then he will never come back.
I wonder what we can do to deal with such a situation? Extradition: Not to mention it is impossible for foreigners. How many of our own people have been extradited after so many of our own people have fled abroad? Prosecution; who listens to you? Who cares about you? Fine: Will he still worry about money now that he has done this? If such an unbearable situation occurs, it means that it will be too late, and all the consequences will have to be borne by China itself.
Therefore, if foreign executives cause major damage and threats to national security, no one can bear the shocking responsibility of causing major losses and harm to the fundamental interests of the nation! It is extremely unrealistic and impossible to expect a confidentiality agreement to bind foreign executives.
It’s not a fantasy! He is also naive to an astonishing degree! Those hostile countries and forces that dream of encircling, containing, and dividing China will do anything they can. Will they give you credit? "Fan Wubing nodded. He was quite clear about this. Take the United States as an example. It always puts its own interests first and adopts double standards. Those who attack it are terrorists who carry out bombings and murders in China. They are not terrorists, but what the United States wants to protect and use to harm China.
Under certain circumstances, the confidentiality agreement is nothing more than a piece of non-binding waste paper. Only mentally retarded people will completely believe and rely on it. Moreover, the agreement may also become a way for foreign executives with ulterior motives to protect themselves. amulet.
In other words, even if he does not abide by the confidentiality agreement in China, you dare not do anything to him. Not only will his home country put strong pressure on him, but some people in China have become accustomed to admiring foreign things and being weak and retreating. How dare you do anything to him? Another point is that even if there is no problem during his term, how can you restrict him from keeping secrets after returning to China? In short, Jiang Lue believes that Fan Wubing made such a recruitment decision that contains great risks and uncertainties, and the relevant parties approved its implementation, which is really confusing and incredible.
We cannot help but question Fan Wubing's basic concept of confidentiality and his sense of responsibility for the safety of the country and the nation? Jiang Lue feels that for military-industrial enterprises, at best, they can only recruit a small number of foreign consultants or experts after strict review, and only carry out thematic work on a case-by-case basis, and must not allow them to enter confidential areas such as coordinated management and core technology.
If used properly, the effect will also be very good, and the risks and costs will be greatly reduced.
"Military enterprises belong to the country's highly confidential areas. They are not vegetable greenhouses or pig farms, chicken farms, etc. Foreigners must not be hired at will.
The fact that military enterprises recruit foreign executives is enough to prove that many of us still have a very indifferent concept of confidentiality, almost equivalent to no such awareness.
This phenomenon of actively recruiting foreign personnel into our highly sensitive and confidential areas such as military industry without any precautions cannot but make people worry.
.
Jiang Lue said to Fan Wubing worriedly, "Even if foreign executives will not leak secrets, they cannot do this. This is determined by the high confidentiality of the military industry and the high standards and requirements that must be ensured to be foolproof.
If something goes wrong, the risk is too high and the cost is too high.
We don't need to take this risk like a bet, let alone pray that foreign executives will never leak secrets.
Simply not recruiting will fundamentally block the channel of foreigners leaking secrets, saving us from being worried all day long.
They can also focus on preventing Chinese leaks. How proactive is that? For a sovereign state, no matter what, its military-industrial enterprises should not have foreign executives. This should be an international practice with high symbolic significance, not just leaks.
But after listening to Jiang Lue's words with a smile, Fan Wubing only said one sentence to block his mouth, and blocked it tightly, "Minister Jiang, do you think that if you say this, your own people will not leak? The missile incident in the past two years, and the strategic deployment map leak, were all done by foreigners?" "You" Jiang Lue was speechless immediately. He didn't expect Fan Wubing's skill in exposing shortcomings was even better.
As the saying goes, you can guard against thieves at home!
