Chapter 222 We Can Trust You

Tang Zifeng said it easily, but in fact, he still spent a lot of time in convincing Huang Liting. It is true that Huang Liting admires Tang Zifeng, but she is not completely brainless. Tang Zifeng suggested that she go to Tengcun to open a branch, but she immediately refused. Of course, the words were put in a more tactful way. The general meaning was that the provincial market has not yet been completed, and she suddenly went to the Northeast to open a branch. The power It is unwise to be too scattered, inconvenient to manage, and not acclimatized to the local environment.

Huang Liting also reminded that you should not be emotional in running a business. It is true that Zhou Heng is Tang Zifeng's Bole. It is understandable that Tang Zifeng is willing to give him a Bole Award worth ten thousand or eight thousand yuan, but there is no need to kidnap Lijia Supermarket and take him to Tengcun. Who can afford to open a branch and invest millions if it turns out to be in vain?

Tang Zifeng talked to Huang Liting for a long time about the big and small truths. He said that opening a branch in Tengcun was in line with the principle of rural areas surrounding cities. Starting from economically underdeveloped provinces and cities can avoid competition with retail giants; and He said that Lijia Supermarket would have to go out of the province anyway in the future, so this time it was just to train the team. What he told Zhou Heng, that Zhou Heng could help the supermarket in Tengcun, was also one of the reasons for persuading Huang Liting at that time. Huang Liting actually agreed with this point.

What Tang Zifeng finally convinced Huang Liting was that all the initial investment in opening the supermarket would be borne by him personally and would not occupy Lijia Supermarket's liquidity. What he needs Huang Liting to do is to open the branch, send capable personnel to manage it, and provide regular guidance to the Tengcun branch. When his words reached this point, Huang Liting really couldn't refuse anymore. If she continued to push him, the two of them might become "friendless".

In this way, Huang Liting personally went to Tengcun to inspect the local business situation and people's lives. After returning, she told Tang Zifeng that it was feasible to open a branch in Tengcun, and the profit was expected to be worse than in several cities in Dongye Province. Much more, but if nothing unexpected happens, it won’t be a loss, and the initial investment is still guaranteed to be recovered.

Of course, the investment in human resources cannot be calculated in detail. If the few people sent to Tengcun were left to develop in a city in Dongye Province, the profits they would create would be greater. This could be regarded as Tang Zifeng's sacrifice for Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng didn't know what happened, but he also knew how difficult it was to mobilize Lijia Supermarket to open a branch in Tengcun. He had vaguely heard that Lijia Supermarket had shares in Tang Zifeng, and now he heard that Tang Zifeng said that all the funds for opening a branch were personally advanced by him. This favor was really too big.

"Xiao Tang, actually... you don't have to do this. After all, this is a public matter. How can you be asked to pay for it privately?" Zhou Heng said with mixed feelings.

Tang Zifeng looked indifferent and said: "The purpose of making money is to spend it. Spending it on business is better than using it to show off your wealth, right? Besides, why do you say that you will lose money if you open a supermarket in Tengcun?" I have also been to Tengcun, and the business there is still at the level of the 1980s. Opening a supermarket can blind the eyes of the people in the city, and maybe it will make a lot of money."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and said: "You don't have to say this in front of me. The reason why Tengcun's business is underdeveloped is precisely because investors are not optimistic about Tengcun's market prospects. You are doing this purely to help I, I have to remember this favor."

Tang Zifeng said: "Huang Liting told me that instead of investing millions to open a supermarket in Tengcun, I might as well give you 100,000 for your retirement. Lao Zhou, you still have a choice now. If you don't want to go to Tengcun, I will give you 100,000 immediately, which is enough for you to retire comfortably."

"In less than a few minutes, you're talking nonsense again! Why should I take your money? If I take your money, I won't be able to retire comfortably." Zhou Heng was furious and said fiercely He gave Tang Zifeng a harsh lesson, which changed the topic just now.

A few days later, Xie Tiancheng went to Linhe in person and announced the appointment and dismissal list of Linyiji cadres at a meeting of middle-level cadres. Zhou Heng was removed from his posts as director and secretary of Linyi Machinery Factory and transferred to Tengcun Machine Tool Factory to hold these two positions. Tang Zifeng was appointed as the executive deputy director of Linyi Machinery and became a member of the Linyi Machinery Party Committee as a probationary party member. This is considered an exception.

The position of Linyi Machinery Factory Director is temporarily vacant, and the executive deputy factory director will take charge of the work. As for the position of secretary, it will be held by a deputy department-level cadre who is about to retire from the Ministry of Machinery. The newly appointed secretary is named Zhang Qun. He used to do party work in the ministry and has a certain political level.

Before Zhang Qun took office, the department's party committee had a special talk with him. The general idea was to ask him to focus on political and ideological work, improve the construction of a clean government, and not easily interfere with the daily operation and management of the factory. Zhang Qun had also heard about Tang Zifeng a long time ago and knew what the leader meant. He immediately said that his only mission after arriving at Yiji was to be a good support for Tang Zifeng and never hold him back.

Zhou Heng delivered a farewell speech at the meeting, thanking all the cadres and workers of the factory for their past support for his work, and reviewing the problems existing in his work. Subsequently, other factory leaders and some middle-level cadres spoke one after another, speaking highly of Zhou Heng's great achievements during his work in Linyi Machinery, expressing their reluctance to leave the old factory director, and wishing the old factory director continued success in his new position. . These are all routines and there is no need to go into details.

At the end of the meeting, Xie Tiancheng and Zhou Heng left at the same time. Zhang Qun and Tang Zifeng led a group of people to take them to the factory gate. Seeing the car in the factory carrying the two people disappear out of sight, everyone's eyes moved to Zhang Qun and Tang Zifeng. Tang Zifeng was really not used to this situation. After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Qun smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Director Tang, from now on, I will rely on you to handle this ship." At the helm.”

Only then did Tang Zifeng react, and he quickly handed over to the other party and said: "Secretary Zhang is wrong. You are the helmsman of Linyi's machine. We are all rowers. Secretary Zhang is responsible for pointing the direction, and we are responsible for contributing." ”

Zhang Qun said: "This is not possible. Now we are focusing on the factory director responsibility system. Since the factory director is temporarily absent, then you, the executive deputy factory director, have to take responsibility. I am a layman when it comes to machine tools. Before I came to the river, The department leader has already told me to provide logistical services to you, Factory Director Xiao Tang."

"How dare I do this? You are all my seniors..." Tang Zifeng was still polite.

Shidisha interjected: "Director Xiao Tang, this is the trust of the bureau leaders in you, the trust of all the cadres and workers of our Linyi Machinery factory, and the trust of Director Zhou in you. Please stop being modest. Yes. Secretary Zhang and I are working as your support staff. If you have any tricks, just use them. We will never let you down when it comes to employee political and ideological work."

As soon as she started, everyone else followed suit and said to Tang Zifeng:

"That's right, Xiao Tang, this is the trust that the bureau leader has placed in you. Just be brave enough to shoulder the burden."

"Xiao Tang, we can trust you."

"Director Tang, we are all waiting to hear your policy agenda..."

"With Director Tang at the helm, we can rest assured!"

The factory leaders were relatively reserved, and continued their past habits in addressing Tang Zifeng to show their closeness to him. A group of middle-level cadres did not dare to make mistakes. They were all scrambling to express their loyalty to Tang Zifeng. They were all worried that if they did not express their opinions in time, Tang Zifeng would be resentful.

Regarding Tang Zifeng's appointment, there had been some rumors in Linyiji a month or two ago. Some people are doubtful about this, thinking that it is impossible for the Second Bureau to let a young man under the age of 26 take charge of a large factory like Linyiji. The greater possibility is to appoint another factory director. Tang Zifeng is just as a Assistant to the new factory director.

But now, the impossible happened. Tang Zifeng did not serve as the director of the factory, but only served as the executive deputy director. However, the position of director was vacant. Tang Zifeng became the actual leader of Linyi Machinery, which broke many people's glasses.

Over the past two years or so, Tang Zifeng has demonstrated his abilities to all the cadres and workers in the factory. Even the most arrogant cadres have to admit that Tang Zifeng does have a few tricks up his sleeve. But even so, there are many people who are not convinced by him. The main reason is that he is too young.

You may have some ability and good motivation. After all, you are young and energetic. But to be a factory director, is it enough to just be capable? Are you stable enough? Can you guarantee that you won't make mistakes? Can the bureau leaders really trust such a smooth-talking guy to manage a large factory with 7,000 people?

If you don't accept it, you can't accept it. At this point, everyone can only come forward and compliment Tang Zifeng in every possible way. Some of them had bad intentions, hoping that Tang Zifeng would float up amidst the stars and make some mistakes so that they could see the joke. People with this kind of mentality were particularly flattering in their compliments to Tang Zifeng, which made the people around them unable to listen.

Zhang Qun played his role as secretary at this time. He waved his hands to everyone and said loudly:

"Everyone, don't hang around here and let Director Tang talk. Let's go back to the conference room. Director Xie and Director Zhou have left. We will change the topic and continue. This topic is to invite Tang The factory director will tell you about the next step of Linyi Machinery's work. Director Tang, what do you think?"

He said the last sentence to Tang Zifeng beside him. Tang Zifeng chuckled and said: "As Secretary Zhang said, let's go back and continue the meeting. Although Director Zhou has left, he has created a great situation for us. We have no reason not to make greater achievements, right? ?”

"That's right!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then walked back in groups of twos and threes, chatting with friends, whispering along the way, and what they were talking about was hard to explain to outsiders.
