Chapter 515 Lin Dadan
The auditorium on the third floor of the county party committee office building was packed with people.
A large banner hung on the podium: "Anning County Enterprise Reform Exchange Conference".
Rows of vermilion solid wood tables were set with name cards for each attendee.
The first row consists of the county party committee standing committee members and Lin Xiaohe.
On either side of the wall in the conference room were cameramen and reporters holding cameras.
Wu Qiang, deputy county head of Anning County, warmly shook hands and talked with the factory directors: "The task assigned to us by the higher authorities is arduous, but our determination to complete it is unwavering. Facts have proven that on this rugged road, some people have successfully forged a bright path. We should learn more from Director Lin and strive to complete the enterprise reform as soon as possible so that the factory can be revitalized."
"County Chief Wu is right. Even if there are many difficulties ahead, we will overcome all obstacles and live up to the expectations of the Party, the country, and the people."
"Thank you to the county for arranging this exchange meeting. We will definitely learn a lot from Director Lin."
The atmosphere was harmonious until Lin Xiaohe entered, at which point the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone turned to look at her.
Lin Xiaohe wore a pure black cashmere coat, had a neat short haircut, a red shirt, black suit pants, a brown belt around her waist, and black mid-heeled ankle boots. She walked with a confident stride, exuding both a powerful aura and a vibrant energy.
Lin Xiaohe waved to the crowd, her smile so bright it was almost blinding.
Fortunately, the host didn't let everyone be blinded for too long before announcing the start of the meeting.
After the county officials and the county head gave their speeches, it was finally Lin Xiaohe's turn.
The host's passionate voice echoed in the conference room.
“In our Anning County, there is a company that stands out. Its predecessor was Changhong Radio Factory, a state-owned enterprise established in the 70s. Due to rigid systems and mechanisms, a single product line, and intensified market competition, the factory fell into operational difficulties in the early 90s, becoming insolvent and on the verge of bankruptcy. Hundreds of employees faced the severe situation of being laid off and reassigned.”
"Our county committee and the factory's leadership explored two avenues for the factory. One was to establish Longtai Electronics Co., Ltd. as a joint venture with Gangcheng Huantai Group; the other was to appoint Comrade Lin Xiaohe as the factory director, as decided by the factory's management. In less than two months, Changhong Factory's new product, the Haiyan brand sauna tub, became a bestseller nationwide, with a total turnover of 50 million yuan! Not only did it bring back 300 old workers to the production line, but it also created thousands of new jobs. It has become a shining example of enterprise reform in our county."
"Next, please welcome Comrade Lin Xiaohe to the stage to share her advanced work experience."
Lin Xiaohe took off her black wool coat and stepped onto the podium with firm steps, exuding confidence and radiance.
"I am very honored to be able to stand here and speak. First of all, I would like to thank the county leadership for their trust in me, allowing a young comrade like me who has just graduated to stand on the big stage of Changhong Factory."
A burst of good-natured laughter erupted from below.
Guan Hai also heard someone chuckle beside him: "At crucial moments, our Director Lin really knows the art of language."
Lin Xiaohe continued, "Secondly, I want to thank the factory committee and employees of Changhong Factory for their hard work. It is thanks to their hard work, working in three shifts and rushing to finish before the holiday that we have achieved such outstanding sales. This proves that our country's workers are the most hardworking and disciplined!"
These were well-said, and the applause from the audience grew even louder.
Lin Xiaohe: "I won't say any more polite words. Since everyone trusts me so much, I will naturally speak my mind. I attribute the success of Changhong Factory to the establishment of a market-oriented business policy, technological innovation, management restructuring, and keeping up with the times in the tide of reform and opening up."
Lin Xiaohe's remarks weren't too outrageous. The old factory director, who had snuck in with her, sat in the last row of the conference room, letting out a long sigh of relief, his hands red from clapping.
It's good that the factory manager didn't cause any trouble!
Next, the host announced that the Q&A session would begin.
Actually, it was the segment where other people asked Lin Xiaohe questions.
The cannery manager secretly glanced at Deputy County Head Wu Qiang and was the first to stand up and complain: "Manager Lin, your factory can engage in technological innovation, but how can a cannery like ours innovate? It's not that we're trying to shirk responsibility, but the more we produce, the more money we lose. We really can't find a way out."
The heads of the other factories also complained.
"Nobody wants the snacks produced by our food factory; people in the south don't buy them. Why don't you stock up on our products at Pang Donglai Supermarket?"
"Director Lin, we understand the principles you're talking about. But right now, even if our factory wanted to produce, we don't have the money to buy the necessary production materials. If we don't merge, we'll only have bankruptcy as our option."
“We know that Director Lin doesn’t want more laid-off workers, and neither do we! These are all veteran workers who have been here for decades. Who wants to push them out into society? Isn’t there just no other way?”
One after another, people spoke, all complaining about how dire the situation was.
The county head of Anning County frowned slightly.
Is a perfectly good exchange and commendation meeting going to be turned into a meeting of criticism?
Wu Qiang, this old comrade, has too narrow a vision.
Twelve factories are insolvent, yet they're putting pressure on Lin Xiaohe. What are they trying to do?
Lin Xiaohe on the stage remained calm and composed, and only spoke after everyone had finished speaking.
“I am basically aware of what the factory directors have said. I am a native of Anning County and grew up here. For my beloved homeland and my kind and friendly neighbors, I am willing to be a whistleblower.”
Upon hearing this, the old factory director's face twitched.
Good heavens, he relaxed too soon. Not causing trouble is simply not the style of Director Lin!
The members of the county standing committee looked at each other in bewilderment, especially Zhang Dongliang, whose expression changed drastically.
Lin Xiaohe didn't care what her subordinates thought. If they gave her a chance to speak, she was ready to ramble on.
"There are some things I didn't finish saying earlier. The reason why our Changhong factory was able to succeed is actually due to Comrade Guan Hai, the former factory secretary. He took away the corrupt management of Changhong factory and cleared the obstacles for us to rebuild a high-quality team of young cadres."
sizzle.
Everyone looked at Guan Hai in the conference room, and saw that his eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, and the veins on his neck were standing out.
Damn it, Lin Xiaohe actually said those words in public!
What's even more chilling is that Lin Xiaohe wasn't just attacking him: "Regarding the cannery, I disagree with what the cannery director said. As far as I know, the canned yellow peaches produced by the cannery have a large customer base in our three provinces. They may not make a lot of money, but they're not insolvent. I think the cannery's problem is a management problem, more so than a product problem."
The auditorium was as quiet as a chicken's nest.
The cameramen and reporters from the county TV station were sweating bullets, wondering whether they should continue recording the exchange meeting.
