As the general manager of Yuanye Automobile Industry Group, Chen Huai has naturally seen Chen Huai for a long time, but except for the enterprises and institutions he has focused on research, Chen Huai has mainly met with the person in charge of other provincial state-owned enterprises in the system. If management teams like Qi Jiancheng were not met by occasional opportunities, Chen Huai would not be able to recognize them for a while.

After Yuanye Automobile Industry Company reorganized the group, it was a wholly state-owned proprietorship and did not have a chairman. Zhou Dainian, as the secretary of the Party Committee and general manager of Yuanye, is the top leader in full responsibility. He is already fifty-eight years old this year and will retire in two years. His manes are a little gray and he looks very thin. He is wearing a suit and is trembling a little by the cold wind.

As a technical worker, Zhou Dainian entered the field of Huaihai Automobile Factory in the mid-1960s, from a technician to a technical team leader to a workshop director, and step by step to the position of deputy department-level group party secretary and general manager.

In the early 1995, Yuanye had just built a new production car and commercial vehicle base in Zhunan Industrial Park. The group looked full of glory on the surface. Zhou Dainian was full of energy at that time and even wanted to compete for the position of secretary of the State-owned Enterprise Working Committee, but did not call Tian Jiageng, the then secretary of the provincial party committee.

Looking at the senior executives of Yuanye Group who walked out to greet him, they were all wearing suits and ties. Chen Huai said nothing. He shook hands with Zhou Dainian, Qi Jiancheng and others. Seeing that they were still looking at the Dongshi pickup truck he was driving, he smiled and said, "I want to have a comprehensive understanding of the production and operation of passenger cars in the province during this period. I finally felt that it was light, so I borrowed a few of the best-selling cars in our province to try to drive. I just returned a van produced in Yuanye yesterday, otherwise I would drive it today..."

Chen Huai said this, but did not make Zhou Danian and others feel good, but his face became hot instead.

Just a few days ago, a van born in Yuanye accidentally fell off when passing Tiananmen Square in Yanjing. This news was widely fermented and spread in the automobile industry. Zhou Dainian didn't believe that the scandal had not reached Chen Huai's ears. He even thought that Chen Huai might have specially borrowed Yuanye to produce a van from other units to test drive, and did not drive it directly, which was to leave some face for them, but Zhou Dainian and others did not think that Chen Huai had the right to directly interfere with the operation of Yuanye Automobile Industry Group.

The Shenhuai car drove relatively fast. Jiang Yibin, Tang Baocheng and others took two cars in separate cars and blocked the red light at the intersection. After two minutes, they stopped in front of the factory gate.

"Old Zhou, you and Deputy Director Chen are both chatting." Jiang Yibin got out of the car and greeted in a hearty voice.

"We are hearing Director Chen tell us about the automobile industry?" Seeing Jiang Yibin get out of the car, Zhou Danian strode to him, holding Jiang Yibin with his increasingly enthusiastic hand, and then walking back to Chen Huai's side.

Chen Huai took Tang Baocheng and others out of the Guojin Building in the morning, Jiang Yibin and Su Ping were waiting for them in the parking lot. When he heard Chen Huai say he was going to the wilderness to investigate, he followed him in a car behind his butt.

Looking at Zhou Dainian, he had known that Jiang Yibin would come to investigate, Chen Huai just smiled in his heart, thinking that Zhao Moshi was really capable, but he didn't know what kind of chips he had to let Jiang Yibin go this trip himself.

When he saw Jiang Yibin walking towards this side, he smiled:

"Yes, I'm not familiar with the automobile industry in the province, so I have specially found several passenger cars produced in the province to try to drive them in person," he said.

Seeing that no one responded to his words, Chen Huai continued,

"Our province only produces pickup models, and both of them are in Xucheng. I have been specially looking for pickup trucks from Dongshi and Yuanye to drive in the past few days. The pickup truck models of the two factories are similar, both of which use Japanese technology, which can be compared intuitively. After driving in two days, I feel that Dongshi's pickup truck has a stronger sense of power. Whether it is speed, off-road performance, or the interior of the driver's seat, the quality is better than Yuanye, let alone market performance - Secretary Zhou, is what I experienced a reaction to the actual situation?"

Zhou Dainian said with a hint of disguise: "The market performance of Dongshi Pickup is better than the cars produced by our group."

As soon as Chen Huai got up, he took Dongshi's car and slapped Yuanye's skin and slapped Yuanye in the face. Jiang Yibin confirmed that what Zhao Moshi said was true. Dongshi had had contact with Chen Huai, but a few days ago, Yuanye had a scandal of a van falling off the car door on the road. He wanted to catch Zhou Dainian and the others to curse. At this time, he was embarrassed to ask him to bite the bullet and explain it to them.

"Secretary Zhou has reported to me about the situation of Yuanye and Dongshi," said Jiang Yibin. "Dongshi is a township contracting enterprise. Whether it is the business mechanism or not, it is true that it has poached all the technical backbones of Yuanye with high salaries in recent years. This has seriously weakened Yuanye's technical strength. Yuanye is a state-owned enterprise, and the mechanism is not flexible enough. First of all, it is reflected in the fact that the enterprise distribution system is not controlled by the group. Now, money is talked about everywhere, and if it is not about carrying forward the spirit, the technical backbones of Yuanye cannot retain them, so it is difficult to talk about the development of the enterprise. Therefore, we have to talk about restructuring and restructuring, separation of government and enterprise, and give enterprises greater business autonomy..."

"Secretary Jiang is right, there are some objective reasons," Chen Huai nodded, but looked at Zhou Dainian and others, and asked, "Who among you has driven the Dongshi car?"

Jiang Yibin was irritated when he saw Chen Huai chasing him. According to the saying, Chen Huai chose one of nearly 200 enterprises and institutions in the system to conduct an operation. Even if he was the top leader of the State-owned Assets Office, he had no reason to stop him. However, Chen Huai and Pucheng Group were both staring at Yuanye Automobile Industry Group, which was really difficult to deal with.

Seeing that Zhou Dainian and others were all facing each other, Jiang Yibin knew that the high-level suits and ties might not have put down his airs and drove a dual-purpose pickup truck for Dongshi sedan.

Chen Huai waited for a while, and saw that no one said, he said bluntly: "How much of the pickup truck market in Yuanye has been eroded by the Dongshi in the past few years? But no one has tried to drive the Dongshi's car. How can Secretary Jiang and me be satisfied with this?"

"The group has a special evaluation department. There is a certain gap between our group's cars and Dongshi, but the main reason is that Secretary Jiang said just now, "Zhou Dainian walked out of the door to greet Chen Huai for a long time, and he also became angry and made a tough tone. "The group's freedom of operation is too little. I wanted to give more year-end bonuses before, so I had to approve the Working Committee. How to retain talents? Talents cannot be retained, and talking about development is also a luxury, which has caused the current situation. There is data from the evaluation department and direct reflection of market performance. Whether it has been driven or not, we all know that the cars produced by the group are different from Dongshi. There is no reason. Do you have to force the senior management of the group to work every day?"

"Old Zhou," Jiang Yibin said with a long tone, looking at him with a blame, and said, "Deputy Director Chen is also eager to improve the current operating conditions of the wilderness. You must first correct your attitude."

Tang Baocheng and other entourages watched Jiang Yibin and Zhou Dainian sing and thinking about resolving Chen Huai's offensive, and secretly said that if Zhao Moshi of Pucheng Group could really exert influence in Jiang Yibin's ear, the battlefield of the real confrontation would not be here, and the future fate of Yuanye Automobile Industry Group was not determined by Zhou Dainian and others.

*********************************

After entering the factory, Shenhuai mainly looked at the actual situation of the production departments of Yuanye cars and commercial vehicles.

Although Jiang Yibin is the top leader of the State-owned Assets Office, he came to investigate with Chen Huai. Naturally, Shen Huai took the initiative in the investigation.

Chen Huai was very diligent in his feet and did not stop for a long time. He walked every corner of Yuanye's production base in Zhunan.

The entire factory area is also an ambitious sedan of Yuanye Group. Although the first phase of the commercial power project is only more than 500 acres, it took half a day to go all out.

Jiang Yibin, Su Ping and others did not expect that Chen Huai could leave so much, and he could only follow him even after complaining.

The production base for car, commercial vehicles, engines, and gearbox parts began construction in mid-1992 and at the end of 1994, the turnkey project was carried out. During the construction process, China did not participate, but after the completion and acceptance, Yuanye Automobile Industry Group was responsible for accepting it. Although the technology digestion was poor, the conditions of the factory and production lines in the past five years were still relatively good. This is also a key factor that the negotiations delayed for more than a year and BAIC never gave up.

This investigation cannot be without mentioning the issue of restructuring and restructuring. This is also the work that Chen Huai is directly in charge. At the afternoon research seminar, Chen Huai specially invited some grassroots managers he had contacted during the factory inspection in the morning to attend the seminar.

Although Liu Jizhou of Dongshi Automobile is not welcomed by senior management such as Zhou Dainian and Qi Jiancheng, he still has some influence among the grassroots managers of Yuanye. After all, he also went out of Yuanye. It can also be seen that Liu Jizhou may have done some work in advance. At the research and symposium, Yuanye Group had grassroots managers dissatisfied with the current cooperation plan negotiated with BAIC:

"Once the group takes out cars, commercial vehicles and power plants for joint ventures with BAIC, this will become a small part of BAIC's production system. Should the group still develop and strengthen the automobile industry? Will Huaihai Province still develop and strengthen the automobile industry?"

Zhou Dainian was so angry that he vomited blood. This macro-level issue in the economic industry is not something that grassroots managers need to consider. Now, grassroots managers have just raised it at the research and symposium. Isn’t it just that everything is sunk and Dongshi Automobile has made arrangements behind it?

At this time, someone directly revealed that Dongshi Automobile had proposed to cooperate with Yuanye:

"After the state adopts production catalogue for car production, Dongshi Automobile was forced to stop the production of the car line without a license system, but it once found the group to propose cooperation and wanted to establish a car factory in joint venture. Now that the group has admitted that Dongshi Automobile is in production management and market operations must be stronger, why hasn't it ever considered cooperating with Dongshi Automobile?"

"Secretary Jiang, do you know this?" Chen Huai asked Jiang Yibin.

Jiang Yibin realized at this time that the water entangled behind him was too deep. He did not take Zhao Moshi any benefits. There was no need to sacrifice for Pucheng Group. He shook his head and said:

"I have been in charge of the State-owned Enterprise Working Committee for less than a year. I heard about Yuanye and BAIC cooperation. Mayor Li may know about this situation," asked Zhou Dainian again, "You didn't report this to Mayor Li Gu back then?"

"Now someone reported that Liu Jizhou of Dongshi Automobile Factory had hollowed out collective assets and deliberately imported the interests of Dongshi Automobile Factory, a collective enterprise of Panyuan Township Government, into Liu Jizhou's family business, causing the loss of collective assets in Panyuan Township. Before Dongshi Automobile proposed cooperation, the group's deputy general manager Qi Jianguo had investigated. In order to avoid the loss of state-owned assets, we did not consider cooperating with Dongshi Automobile Factory, so we did not report to the working committee." Zhou Dainian said, staring at Chen Huai, thinking about how he would take over the loss of state-owned assets.

"It's not wrong for the group to think so." Jiang Yibin said.

Seeing that Jiang Yibin made up his mind and mixed things, Chen Huai wrote down Zhou Dainian's words in his notebook and asked again: "How much did Yuanye lose last year?"

Zhou Dainian immediately questioned Chen Huai, and his old face turned red. He realized that Chen Huai might have been waiting for his words from beginning to end.

Chen Huai closed the notebook and said, "Yuanye established a car, commercial vehicle production department, and a power plant that produces engines and gearboxes. A total of 1 billion yuan was invested. By the end of 1998, the total loss was 200 million yuan, which means there were 800 million yuan in assets left. Secretary Jiang and I would like to ask you here, how much did the group lose in a piece last year? How many years can you do this part of the state-owned assets be completely lost?"
