Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 635
Chapter 635 Allegiance must be early
The situation that the New Oriental Motor Factory is in was as early as Li Weidong’s expectation.
During mergers and acquisitions, employees will worry about their future. At this time, people’s hearts are fluctuating and it is normal for them to be upset.
What’s more, New Oriental Electric is a subsidiary of Huanghai Petrochemical, and Huanghai Petrochemical is a state-owned holding company. The change from a state-owned holding company to a private company will of course be opposed by employees.
If it is a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy, similar problems will probably not occur. Jobs are about to be lost. How can employees care whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise. As long as the enterprise does not close down and can continue to pay wages, what if it is acquired? The big deal is to change the boss to work!
However, this is not the case with New Oriental Electric Machinery Factory. The benefits of this enterprise have always been very good, otherwise it would not have become a high-quality asset of Huanghai Petrochemical.
Since the survival of employees has not been affected, it is better to retain the status of state-owned enterprises, or at least a stable job.
Especially in the northern region, people are more interested in stability. Even if the salary is lower, they hope to have an iron rice bowl that guarantees income during drought and flood.
Therefore, Li Weidong’s acquisition of Huanghai Petrochemical and the successful acquisition of the New Oriental Motor Factory is only the first step, and then the problem of employees’ emotional disturbance can be solved before the motor factory can be officially operated.
Li Weidong came to Huanghai Petrochemical and met Song Jinlong.
“The workers’ representatives are all in the small conference room!” Song Jinlong continued, “Chairman Li, I have tried my best to persuade them, but unfortunately it has no effect at all.”
“It’s hard work for Song Dong.” Li Weidong continued: “Please find Song Dong another room for me. I’ll see Director Pan first!”
“Aren’t we going to see you together?” Song Jinlong asked.
“Of course we can’t meet together!” Li Weidong continued: “After all, the demands of the workers are different. If we talk separately, one will be the other!”
This kind of one-to-many negotiation, of course, must be discussed separately, which makes it easier to differentiate opponents and achieve the goal of negotiation.
Pan Yongjian, director of the New Oriental Electric Factory, was taken to another room.
“Director Pan, this is Chairman Li Weidong of Puppy Electric.” Song Jinlong introduced.
“I saw Chairman Li in a magazine.” Pan Yongjian said.
After a few chats, Li Weidong asked, “Director Pan, if you have any demands, feel free to mention them. We can negotiate and resolve them!”
“Our appeal is very simple, that is, please don’t buy our New Oriental Electric Factory.” Pan Yongjian said.
“I’m sorry, I can’t make this request.” Li Weidong refused without hesitation, and then continued: “Director Pan, you should change the terms.
“Another condition? That is, all the employees of our electrical machinery factory will return to Huanghai Petrochemical. But this is not what you said, it’s up to Song Dong to speak!” Pan Yongjian said.
Li Weidong responded: “I don’t know if Huanghai Petrochemical has the ability to accept so many employees at one time. But even if Huanghai Petrochemical is willing to accept this condition, I will not agree. If there are no employees, I will buy New Oriental Motor. , it’s just an empty shell, what’s the point!”
“That means there is nothing to talk about.” Pan Yongjian spread his hands.
“Of course there is talk!” Li Weidong continued: “Director Pan, don’t you want to hear it, what kind of treatment can I give?”
“You, the big bosses of private enterprises, just want to pay more!” Pan Yongjian said.
Li Weidong replied: “Besides the Puppy Group, I have two other companies, namely Fukang Engineering Company and Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory. The management team and scientific research team of these two companies both enjoy 15% of the company’s equity. , you can get a 15% share dividend.
I plan to implement the same system in the New Oriental Electric Factory. In the future, the management and scientific research teams of the New Oriental Electric Factory will each enjoy 15% of the equity, and there will be dividends at the end of the year. ”
Hearing the word “dividend”, Pan Yongjian’s mouth trembled slightly, obviously moved by this condition.
State-owned enterprises have stable jobs and good pay, but in terms of salary, they must strictly follow the rules and regulations.
For example, New Oriental Electric Machinery Factory and New Oriental Electric Machinery Factory, if you want to issue a bonus, you have to go through the approval process according to the rules. It is even more impossible for the shares to be rewarded.
After all, it is a state-owned holding company, and the shares are owned by the state. When the dividends are made, they should also be handed over to the state. The managers of the enterprises will definitely not be able to make money.
Now that Li Weidong is willing to give his shares to the management, and he can also enjoy dividends, how could Pan Yongjian not be tempted!
“Dong Song said before that Li Weidong was generous with his money, and he didn’t seem to lie to me! 15% of the management team’s shares and 15% of the scientific research team’s shares were distributed like this, which is equivalent to taking out hundreds of shares all at once. Wan!” Pan Yongjian secretly said in his heart.
The opposite Li Weidong continued: “Director Pan, I hope you can carefully consider my conditions. Of course, for a talent like Director Pan, even if they return to Huanghai Petrochemical, I believe Huanghai Petrochemical will also arrange for President Pan. A suitable position. But in that case, the 15% of the shares and dividends will be distributed to other leading cadres in the factory.”
After all, Pan Yongjian is the director of the New Oriental Electric Machinery Factory. If he returns to Huanghai Petrochemical, although he will not be able to enter the decision-making level, he can also be a middle-level cadre.
But there is a saying that it is better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, and to be a middle-level cadre in Huanghai Petrochemical is definitely not as comfortable as being the head of New Oriental Electric.
What’s more, the management of New Oriental Electric Machinery Factory is not only Pan Yongjian.
Even if Pan Yongjian is willing to take the 15% of the shares and dividends, other cadres in the management may not be willing. The 15% dividend is also a lot of money. If the management divides one point, it will definitely be more than the usual bonus.
Pan Yongjian can still be a middle-level cadre when he returns to Huanghai Petrochemical, but other people in New Oriental Motor Factory, such as the deputy director, department head, workshop director, etc., may only be a grass-roots cadre when they return to Huanghai Petrochemical, and may even be downgraded for ordinary workers.
Instead of that, it is better to stay in New Oriental Electric and continue to be the leader, and the size also has some real power.
Pan Yongjian thought about it again, maybe the deputy factory directors under his command were eager to leave by himself! As soon as Pan Yongjian leaves, several deputy factory directors will have a chance. As long as they express their willingness to be Li Weidong’s loyal dog, maybe they will straighten up directly!
After such a calculation, Pan Yongjian realized that if he left New Oriental Electric, he would be cheaper for others!
At this time, Li Weidong on the opposite side said: “Director Pan, you don’t have to worry, you can think about it again. Or let’s talk about it today, I have to meet other leading cadres of New Oriental Factory next, and share the shares. Tell them about the bonus!”
“Meet the other cadres? If those deputy factory directors were the first to show their loyalty to Li Weidong, what else would I have to do!”
Thinking of this, Pan Yongjian immediately said: “Chairman Li is young and promising, and has always been an entrepreneur I admire. It is my honor to work under the leadership of Chairman Li, Pan Yongjian!”
It is better to show loyalty as early as possible! The sooner you show your loyalty, the more benefits you can reap.
Seeing that Pan Yongjian is so acquainted, Li Weidong immediately stretched out his right hand and said with a smile; “Director Pan is very capable. I am very relieved to hand over the New Oriental Motor Factory to you. In the future, the New Oriental Motor Factory will be honored by Director Pan. !”
“Chairman, rest assured, I will do my best!” Pan Yongjian even omitted the word “Li” in his address.
…
The best way for foreign capitalists to deal with worker strikes is to disintegrate them from within, and then break them down one by one.
Li Weidong is also well versed in this, so his first step is to use shares and dividends to lure the management of New Oriental Electric Factory.
The so-called snake does not go without a head, and the geese do not fly without a head. If the management of the New Oriental Electric Factory is dealt with first, then the ordinary workers will lose their backbone, and it will be much easier to talk about it later.
And the management is also the easiest to compromise, because they are all vested interests of the company, and they are the ones who don’t want to lose the pot.
This is like the replacement of feudal dynasties in ancient times. The person who least wants the dynasty to perish must be the emperor, because if the dynasty perishes, the emperor will definitely not end well. Next are those princes and ministers, even if they don’t lose their heads, they will lose their power.
As for ordinary people, it is nothing more than changing the court to pay taxes, and they have to continue to live a hard life.
The same is true for enterprises. The management can enjoy more benefits, and it is easier for them to make compromises in order to protect their own interests. And if some additional benefits are given, the management’s direct allegiance is not a problem.
And there is a special situation in New Oriental Electric Factory, that is the problem of chicken head and tail.
The leading cadres of the electric motor factory are the chicken head when they stay, and the phoenix tail when they return to Huanghai Petrochemical. This is also a multiple-choice question that concerns their own interests.
Pan Yongjian has been a chicken head for many years, obviously he is not willing to go back to be a phoenix tail, not to mention the temptation of shares and dividends.
With Pan Yongjian’s allegiance, it should not be a problem to get the entire management team.
The next thing to do is to solve the ordinary employees.
Li Weidong said, “Director Pan, I heard that there are a lot of ordinary employees who are very opinionated about this merger. I need your help in this regard!”
“Chairman, rest assured, I will do my best to convince the workers as much as possible.”
Pan Yongjian paused, then continued: “It’s just that there are some old workers who are more difficult to deal with. They are old and highly respected among the workers. Moreover, older people will be more paranoid, and they will not enter the market. kind of.”
Song Jinlong, who was next to him, also said, “Director Pan is right, before you came, I talked to a master Wang, and it was really worth it. No matter what I said, he would say ‘I don’t. I understand, so I’ll play. He’s an old master with more than 30 years of experience, and I can’t be angry with him!”
Li Weidong nodded: “Alright then, let’s meet this Master Wang first!”
…
Master Wang walked into this conference room and saw Song Jinlong, Pan Yongjian and a stranger sitting together.
Pan Yongjian took the initiative to introduce: “Master Wang, this is Li Weidong, Chairman of the Dog Group, who invested in the acquisition of our New Oriental Electric Factory, and Chairman Li will be our boss in the future!”
Hearing what Pan Yongjian said, Master Wang immediately realized that Pan Yongjian had defected to Li Weidong’s side.
“Pan Yongjian, look at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come you betrayed!” Master Wang complained in his heart, and then sat down with a cold face.
“Master Wang, if you have any demands, just say it, we can discuss it!” Li Weidong said with a smile on his face.
“Ask? You are my biggest demand!” Master Wang snorted coldly.
Probably annoyed by Pan Yongjian’s betrayal, Master Wang directly swears.
Li Weidong was not angry, he asked, “How old is Master Wang this year?”
Master Wang didn’t speak, and looked like he didn’t want to pay attention to Li Weidong.
Pan Yongjian, who was next to him, said, “Master Wang is almost fifty years old.”
“It will take more than ten years to retire.” Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said: “Master Wang, in fact, I can understand you. At your age, all you want is the word ‘stability’, and you want to be safe and secure. Steady until retirement.
You think I, Li Weidong, is a self-employed individual, and working with me is not as stable as a state-owned holding company. So don’t want me to buy the New Oriental Motor Factory, right? ”
“Humph!” Master Wang snorted coldly, believing Li Weidong’s teaching.
“It seems that I guessed right.” Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said: “Master Wang, in terms of stability, private enterprises are indeed inferior to state-owned enterprises and institutions. Many state-owned enterprises and institutions have low wages but good benefits. , the labor intensity is not large, the key is to ensure the harvest during droughts and floods, and it is better to be stable.
But I, Li Wendong, are not a stingy person, at least in terms of money, I have never been stingy with workers. Over the years, Li Weidong followed me out of poverty and became rich, at least one hundred and eighty thousand. Therefore, after I acquired the New Oriental Motor Factory, I will never treat the workers badly. ”
“What if the salary is more than 180 yuan a month? A private enterprise is a private enterprise, and a state-owned enterprise can be stable!” Master Wang pouted.
“Of course! Master Wang, do you want stability? Then I will give you stability!” Li Weidong went on to say; “Workers of the New Oriental Electric Machinery Factory, as long as they have worked in the factory for more than ten years, can sign contracts with no fixed term. .”
“What is an open-ended contract?” Pan Yongjian and Master Wang asked at the same time, both of whom have worked for more than ten years.
Li Weidong explained: “According to our country’s labor law, when an enterprise employs people, it must sign a labor contract with the worker. For example, if a three-year contract is signed, the worker will work for three years, and if a five-year contract is signed, the worker will work for five years. With a ten-year contract, the worker will work for ten years.
Once the contract term expires, the two parties will not owe each other. If the company wants to continue to employ workers, it has to sign another contract. If it does not want to employ workers, the worker can leave immediately. Of course, the choice is also two-way, and workers can also choose not to dare. ”
“I understand this. Your private enterprise is unstable. You have to leave after working for a few years. It’s not like a state-owned enterprise, you can work for a lifetime!” Master Wang said.
“That’s why we have this open-ended contract. This open-ended contract refers to a labor contract that the employer and the worker agree on with no fixed termination time.”
Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said: “There is no time to terminate the contract, there is no question of whether to work for three years or five years, which means that you can work like a state-owned enterprise, and you can work for a lifetime!”
“What did you say? Private companies can also work for a lifetime?” Master Wang’s eyes widened in surprise, which obviously broke his understanding.
“Of course!” Li Weidong nodded: “I already said, this is to sign a contract, this empty promise will deceive people, and a contract signed in black and white can still deceive you?”
