When will I have a long tassel?

Perhaps out of a desire to discount merit, Han Weichang investigated the situation clearly in less than a day and reported to Tang Zifeng.

According to what Han Weichang learned, He Jian had already hooked up with a Japanese machine tool company that had just entered China, called Someno Machine Tool Co., Ltd. China, before Dongyuan Machine Tool Company went bankrupt. Someno Corporation is a powerful machine tool company in Japan. It entered China to establish a branch this time because it saw opportunities in the Chinese market.

Someno China Company is located in Pengcheng and has a production base, a research institute and a sales center. The products currently produced and sold by Someno Co., Ltd. are all mature products of Someno Co., Ltd., with only slight modifications based on the characteristics of Chinese users. But Someno Corporation’s executives know that machine tool technology is developing very fast and user needs are constantly changing. If Someno China Company wants to continue to obtain high profits from the Chinese market, it must comply with market demand. Continuously developing new products is why Someno Corporation wants to establish a research institute in China.

According to Someno Corporation's plan, the entire company's production focus will gradually shift to China in the future. One of the important reasons for this is that China has abundant cheap labor resources. Whether it is skilled workers or engineers, the salary level is only equivalent to that in Japan. 1/10 or even lower, which is very important for Someno Co., Ltd. to reduce production costs.

Japan was once the world's factory, with strong industrial manufacturing capabilities and development capabilities. However, in recent years, with the development of Japan's economy, the younger generation with superior living conditions have become increasingly reluctant to engage in industry, preferring finance, culture and other industries. The number of engineering college graduates is shrinking, making it increasingly difficult to hire young mechanical engineers in the workplace.

In contrast, China has hundreds of thousands of engineering graduates every year. These people generally do not have high salary requirements. For a small amount of money, they can hire very outstanding graduates from prestigious schools. Of course, these young people are not good enough to take over immediately, but if someone gives them guidance, with their talent and hard-working spirit, they can do a very good job. Someno Corporation decided to continuously expand the scale of the Chinese research institute and eventually transfer all machine tool design work to China.

In addition to technology development, what Someno China Company is more eager to carry out is to open up the sales market. The machine tool market is very particular about long-term cooperative relationships. Users are accustomed to using the products of a certain manufacturer and will give priority to this manufacturer when purchasing new machine tools in the future. This involves the usage habits of operators and the continuity of after-sales service. As a new manufacturer, it takes a long time to gain recognition from users.

The method adopted by Someno China Company is to recruit a group of people with rich connections in the Chinese machine tool market as sales representatives. These people are familiar with users' needs and can rely on old relationships to persuade users to accept a new brand. It is precisely because of this ability that He Jian was reused by Someno China Company.

After He Jian joined Someno Company, he took on two responsibilities at the same time. One was to use his connections to promote Someno Machine Tools, and the other was to help Someno Machine Tool Research Institute recruit outstanding engineers. The word "recruiting" sounds very gentle, but what He Jian actually does is to pry into the corners of various machine tool companies. Most of China's outstanding machine tool engineers work in large state-owned machine tool factories or machine tool research institutes. The wages in these units are not high. He Jian's promise of more than double the salary to them is easy to tempt people.

"In the final analysis, we are still too poor. If we can raise the wages of engineers, it will be difficult for an old boy like He Jian to recruit people." Han Weichang said to Tang Zifeng with emotion.

"It's useless." Tang Zifeng shook his head and said, "Japan's salary level is 10 times higher than ours. Unless we increase the salary of engineers by 10 times, others will always have a way to take advantage of us."

"Yes, why are we a developing country?" Han Weichang said following Tang Zifeng's words. He has actually thought about this problem and found that it is indeed an unsolvable problem. As people move to higher places, water flows to lower places. Japanese-funded enterprises offer high wages, so naturally some people want to climb higher branches. This is difficult to stop.

"Director Tang, I understand that He Jian is not in Linhe now. He has fled to Huangyang. I have asked my friends to keep an eye on him. Whenever he comes back to Linhe, several of my friends will Let me know immediately. Then we will give him a trap to catch a turtle in a jar." Han Weichang suggested.

Tang Zifeng said: "But why should we arrest him? He has not broken the law."

"Isn't it a crime to pry into a corner?" Han Weichang said.

Tang Zifeng said: "For this kind of thing, I really can't find any reason to arrest him. Besides, what's the use of arresting him? People who want to change jobs can't be retained by just arresting He Jian."

"That's true." Han Weichang changed his tune quickly. He had previously made the idea to arrest He Jian, which contained more of a personal grudge. When Tang Zifeng said there was no reason to arrest him, he had no choice but to swallow his breath.

"Okay, Old Han, you did a good job on this matter." Tang Zifeng turned around and encouraged Han Weichang, "Let me discuss the rest with Chief Engineer Qin and Director Sun. You can prepare now." Do a good job in handing over the sales department. The factory affairs meeting has discussed and approved the decision to transfer you to Tengji to take charge of the sales work there. I have also made an agreement with Director Zhou. You can also settle down at home. Let’s take office in a week or two.”

"No problem!" Han Weichang agreed very readily, "I have already told my wife that this is an important task assigned to me by Director Tang, and my wife agreed without saying a word."

Tang Zifeng said: "Okay, then go get ready. If you can successfully complete the work at Tengji, I will write off the past for you, and the factory will not treat you badly."

After sending Han Weichang away, Tang Zifeng called Qin Zhongnian and Sun Min. Sun Min was asked by Tang Zifeng to learn about the situation of Canglong Research Institute being exploited, and some preliminary results had already been obtained at this time. According to what he learned, there were more than a dozen engineers in the institute who had contact with He Jian, and they were all experts who could stand alone.

However, it is precisely because these people are experts and have some foundation in their respective factories that they are reluctant to give up easily. Therefore, so far, there are only three or four people who have actually expressed their willingness to change jobs. The rest may They are still in the wait-and-see period, and some people even want to wait and see how other colleagues have changed jobs before deciding whether they want to change jobs.

"Although there are not many people who want to change jobs, their impact is huge. People in the institute are now in a state of flux, especially those who are determined to leave. They go around bragging about the benefits of job-hopping, which makes other No one can work with peace of mind anymore," Sun Min complained.

"If Xiao Tang hadn't reminded you of such a big thing, wouldn't you have noticed it until now?" Qin Zhongnian glared at Sun Min and asked dissatisfiedly.

Sun Min looked aggrieved, but had no way to argue. If employees want to change jobs, they have to hide it from the leader before it is actually implemented. It is normal for him not to know this situation. Of course, if he is more alert and talks to his employees more often, some clues can always be detected. Now that people had poached him right down to his feet, he realized belatedly that he had indeed neglected his duty.

Tang Zifeng waved his hand and said: "Chief Engineer Qin, don't blame Director Sun. He has been working on a high-precision milling machine project these days. I heard that he often works all night long. There are some things underneath that he didn't discover for a while. It's not like that." His responsibility.”

"No, no, the factory sent me to be the director of the research institute, but I made such a big mistake at work. I must bear this responsibility. I ask the factory to punish me." Sun Min pretended. He said with a fearful look. Although he said this, he knew in his heart that Tang Zifeng would not punish him. After all, he could not be blamed for this matter. If he was to blame, he could only blame He Jian, an enemy who was too cunning and took advantage of the institute's loopholes.

Qin Zhongnian said: "The punishment is waived. Xiao Tang is right. You cannot be entirely blamed for this matter. The most important thing for us now is to discuss how to deal with this matter. Xiao Tang, what are your considerations?"

Tang Zifeng pondered for a moment and said: "If someone wants to change jobs, we can't stop them. It's not sweet to force them. These people's minds are no longer in the institute, so there is no point in keeping them. I think, The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation. Those who want to leave, let them leave as soon as possible. Those who don't want to leave, let them stay and do a good job.

"Director Sun just said that people in the institute are floating. This is the most terrifying thing. In fact, not many people have left, but it has affected most people's enthusiasm for work. This is very inappropriate."

Sun Min nodded: "Yes, I think so too. Those who want to leave, let them go. Even if Butcher Zhang dies, we may not have to eat mixed pigs. But because they want to leave , so that no one is interested in doing anything, and the loss will be huge."

"But how to stabilize the situation?" Qin Zhongnian asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "It's very simple, that is to open things up and not be secretive. I have thought about it. Since we can't stop those who want to leave, we should simply be more aboveboard and open the door to let them go. However, We also have to set the rules. We only give people who want to leave a one-week window period. After this point, if you want to leave again, you have to pay the price. In addition, we are not a hotel here. You can leave if you want to, but if you want to leave in the future, I still want to come back, but it’s not that easy, so I have to say this first.”

"That's good!" Qin Zhongnian praised, "Those who want to leave should go through the formalities immediately, and we will never stop them. Those who stay should work peacefully and stop thinking about leaving. In this way, those who are at both ends of the spectrum can People must make a decision quickly.”
