Chapter 244: Destruction and Establishment
After the Little New Year, the Lunar New Year is just around the corner. However, Liansheng, a small company that has received much attention at the local policy level as the first company in Jiangchuan City and even the entire southern Hunan Province to acquire the Longjingyuan Cannery through property rights reform, is far from welcoming the New Year holiday.

Now that Longjing Garden is about to resume work, ordinary employees who have been on break for nearly a whole year are looking forward to it. However, as the eighth day of the first lunar month approaches, more and more things need to be prepared and handled for the resumption of work. All the management and office staff are busy in a tense and orderly manner. Today is the management meeting before Longjing Garden resumes work.

Zhang Yunqi arrived at Liansheng at around eight o'clock.

At that time, his elder sister Zhang Qiulan had already arrived and was sitting in the reception room looking through materials. Zhang Yunqi chatted with her for a while and suddenly remembered something. He asked, "Sister, I heard from mom that you applied for the night school of Jiangchuan Normal University?"

Zhang Qiulan was startled, a little surprised that her younger brother suddenly cared about this matter: "I applied for the Finance Department, but I always feel that my ability is not up to par, and I want to learn more."

Zhang Yunqi didn't know what the current night college was like. If it were in the future, this thing would be purely for the purpose of getting a diploma. Of course, having said that, whether it is useful or not depends on oneself.

As for his elder sister Zhang Qiulan, Zhang Yunqi looked at her current professional white-collar outfit and kept thinking of the housewife who followed him to the market to sell Tetris handheld games and was cheated by the owner of the No. 2 Middle School Store. It has been almost two years, and she seems to have changed. Sometimes you have to admit that the environment makes people. If you have a good platform and are willing to make progress, learn more, watch more, and practice more, you will definitely make continuous progress, not to mention how excellent you are.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunqi said, "Since you have signed up for night school, let your brother-in-law and Wang Guibing go there too."

Zhang Qiulan nodded and agreed.

The two chatted for a while, and the management above the section chief level of Longjingyuan arrived one after another. Everyone sat in the conference room and the atmosphere was quite good. It had been more than two months since Liansheng acquired Longjingyuan. These management employees often came to Liansheng to handle work matters, and they no longer had the uncertain mood they had when they first came to the meeting.

At nine o'clock, the meeting officially began.

The first thing Zhang Yunqi did at the meeting was to formally appoint Li Jilin as the general manager of Liansheng, fully responsible for the company's daily operations and management. Although his work relationship had long been transferred from Longjingyuan to the district by Zhang Yunqi, and he was also seconded to Liansheng, for more than two months, he had been handling various matters in the factory as the former head of the Longjingyuan Canning Factory, and now he was given an official identity.

As for the main content of this meeting, Zhang Yunqi and Li Jilin had already discussed it privately, and he would announce it directly.

First, the marketing department of Longjingyuan was officially dissolved. The marketing department employees who ranked in the top 30 in sales performance at the end of last year were incorporated into Lianzhong Trade. Under the leadership of Zhang Qiulan, the head of Lianzhong Trade's business department, a market operation division was established to readjust the organizational structure. As for the marketing department employees whose performance did not meet the standards, they can choose to be transferred to a different position or laid off. For those who agree to be laid off, the resettlement fee will be fully supplemented according to the acquisition agreement, and the historical wage arrears will be settled in one lump sum.

Second, the publicity department of Longjingyuan will be incorporated into the Lianzhong Market Operation Division. Employees of the publicity department need to be re-interviewed and evaluated. Only those who pass the interview can join the company. Those who fail the interview can choose to be transferred to the same level or be laid off. The layoff plan is the same as above.

Third, except for the production and security departments, all the personnel, administration, finance, and procurement departments of Longjingyuan were merged into Liansheng. The middle-level management was transferred horizontally, and the positions remained unchanged. The departments were changed to divisions, and the section chiefs were changed to managers. Among them, the procurement department was upgraded to the raw material supply division, which was directly managed by Zhang Yunqi. It had major functional departments such as the transaction procurement department and the self-operated supply department. The transaction procurement department was headed by Wu Xinghua, the former head of the procurement department, and was mainly responsible for maintaining the previous suppliers of Longjingyuan. The self-operated supply department was headed by Niu Fen, who was mainly responsible for the Yunxi Village Rural Planting Cooperative Project.

Fourth, the production department only has two days off during the Spring Festival. On New Year’s Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, the section chief Du Zhongping needs to lead core employees to cooperate with Zhang Yunqi to fully develop a series of new canned products with fermented black bean chili sauce. After Longjingyuan officially resumed work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, it was immediately put into production. This canned new product uses fermented black bean chili as the main raw material. Compared with canned meat products, it can greatly reduce production costs and prices, thus solving the pain point that the current domestic canned products are generally expensive and ordinary people want to eat but cannot afford them, and catering to the middle and low-end consumer market with a wider audience.

Fifth, after officially resuming work, all Liansheng staff must submit work reports regularly every week, which must be approved by their superiors and approved by Liansheng Administration and Performance. The work reports of management employees at the section chief level and above must be submitted to the general manager for approval, and the administration must copy them to Zhang Yunqi for approval.

As these policies were announced one by one, the expressions of the section chiefs in the conference room began to change noticeably.

Although Li Jilin's voice was full of passion, as if he was announcing a lot of exciting good news, these old hands who were used to staying in the offices of state-owned enterprises were not fools. They knew clearly the interests and stakes of every policy therein.

In general, their boss has a clear idea in the overall planning of the company in the new year, and the rectification efforts are quite large. Through the integration and splitting of departments, he wants to split Longjingyuan Canning Factory into three major sectors: raw material supply, product processing, and publicity and sales. Now the two departments of sales and publicity will be separated and incorporated into Lianzhong Trade, becoming a semi-independent market operation division. Then, Longjingyuan will no longer need to be responsible for the publicity and sales of canned products, and the procurement department will be directly upgraded to the raw material supply division. Under it is the Yunxi Village Crop Planting Professional Cooperative, a large project. If this trend continues, it will be separated sooner or later. In other words, Longjingyuan will completely become a pure food processing company.

This kind of rectification method will bring great benefits to the development of Longjingyuan.

Professionals do professional things.

The quality of the canned food produced by a state-owned canning factory like theirs is naturally top-notch. However, in the previous planned economy era, Longjingyuan directly sold the canned food to the supply and marketing cooperatives in various regions. It never had to worry about not being able to sell the food, and it had never experienced the market. Its capabilities in the two areas of sales and promotion were extremely weak. After such a rectification, Longjingyuan now only needs to manage the processing and production of canned food, which can naturally give full play to its strengths in canned production and avoid its weaknesses in market sales.

However, these policies involve too many personnel transfers, and the focus is also very obvious, which will naturally affect the vested interests of various departments. For example, Zhao Tengfeng, the head of the market department, and Liao Hui, the head of the publicity department, looked as ugly as a Muggle. These two departments have the biggest changes. Employees will be laid off and those who can stay will be transferred to Lianzhong. The future is uncertain. No idea, no ghost!
Of course, some are happy while others are sad.

While there are those who complain all the time, there will naturally be those who benefit secretly.

Wu Xinghua, the head of the purchasing department, had no hope of attending this mobilization meeting today, because at the first expanded management meeting of Liansheng before the New Year, Zhang Yunqi directly asked his brother-in-law Niu Fen to be in charge of the purchasing department. At that time, he was really angry and wanted to stand up and question Zhang Yunqi, why? Why did Niu Fen, an ordinary worker in the operation room, climb above him, an old state-owned enterprise cadre who had devoted half his life to Longjingyuan without any credit or hard work?
Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly.

Out of nowhere, the boss changed his mind and upgraded the purchasing department to a raw material supply division, which was semi-independent from Longjingyuan and managed by him personally. He, the head of the purchasing department, continued to be the manager of the transaction purchasing department, responsible for maintaining Longjingyuan's existing raw material suppliers. Nothing changed except the title.

What a pleasant surprise!

As for Niu Fen, he is in charge of the self-operated supply department and the big project of Yunxi Village Crop Planting Professional Cooperative that was negotiated by Boss Gu himself. He has to run to the remote corners of the mountains every day and deal with farmers. He cannot get involved in this area.

In fact, at that moment, there were many section chiefs who were thinking countless twists and turns like Wu Xinghua, but everyone knew that the young boss Zhang Yunqi was very strong. There would be no room for negotiation on the policies he had already set. If they kept arguing and arguing like they did when Longjingyuan was still a state-owned enterprise, the end would be to pack up and leave.

Of course, after Li Jilin announced the company's rectification policy, Zhang Yunqi just glanced at Wu Xinghua, whose face was full of red, with a special meaning. He did not mean to let others speak, and directly took over and said: "I have always emphasized that Longjingyuan is a wholly-owned private enterprise. Making money is our most important goal. The reason is simple. If we can't make money, who will take care of the lives of more than 200 ordinary employees? The state? The history of state-owned enterprises has turned over. We can only rely on ourselves and everyone present to work together. As for the company's rectification policy, this is it for the time being. Of course, the adjustments in some departments are relatively large. I hope that the person in charge can consider more positive aspects. Without destruction, there is no construction! I am not blind. As long as you can make due contributions to the company, you will naturally get due rewards."

Zhang Yunqi paused and said, "After the Chinese New Year, we will officially resume work on the eighth day of the first lunar month. We all know how much money the company owes. To be serious, we are trying to achieve our goal in one fell swoop. Whether we can keep this job depends on this. Of course, as the backbone of Liansheng, you have actively cooperated with the company's policies and worked overtime for more than two months. It was really hard, especially during the canned food promotion period. Among the more than 200 brothers and sisters in our company, I saw an unprecedented mental outlook and professional attitude. I have heard about many ordinary employees who dragged carts along the street to sell canned food in the cold winter, so I know very well that you don't need me to mobilize you. You who have been with Longjingyuan through ups and downs for so many years will never have any reason to retreat! On the eighth day of the first lunar month, I hope that under the leadership of General Manager Li Jilin, you will take up the responsibility, implement the company's rules and regulations, take responsibility, and go all out. At this time next year, we will hold a celebration party and distribute money according to merit!"

There was applause in the conference room.

Zhang Yunqi was just about to end the meeting when the pager on his desk rang.

Zhang Yunqi took a glance at it: there were six words on it: "Ji Ling, call back quickly!"

******
pls. I wrote more than 5,000 words, deleted and revised them repeatedly, and finally reduced them to 3,200 words. I read it over and over again countless times, and everyone who read it became numb. I have no idea how well it is written, or if there are any problems. It makes me depressed.
