Lao Fan has served in politics for a long time and has a deep understanding of selecting and employing people. The examples cited by Factory Director Yuan proved to him that Fang Hanmin was not ignorant in this aspect.
There was also the interactive session of that on-site meeting. Whether faced with sharp questions or general questions, Fang Hanmin could handle it with ease, without any trace of nervousness or panic. Fang Hanmin's performance that day left a deep impression on Director Fan.
Lao Yuan also gave Director Fan an example of Fang Hanmin’s organizational management ability, “The process transformation of the first and second workshops of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory are both large-scale projects, and the construction difficulty and organizational complexity involved are even higher than those of the newly built ones. Both workshops need to be bigger.”
"Are you saying that Fang Hanmin was responsible for the process improvements in both workshops?"
"Because both new processes are provided by Fang Hanmin, Fang Hanmin naturally serves as the general project commander for the process transformation of the two workshops. You have already seen the situation of the second workshop during the on-site meeting, and the process transformation of the first workshop is also It was completed some time ago, and the technical transformation of the two workshops was completely handled by Fang Hanmin. Not only did I not have to worry about it, the deputy factory boss in charge of production, Wang Wang, and the chief engineer Lao Xia were more worry-free than me." Old Yuan Wei I feel proud to have subordinates like Fang Hanmin.
Director Fan nodded in agreement, "This young man's work ability and technical level are indeed rare, but in the process of organizing the construction, it involves equipment procurement and construction unit bidding. How is his performance?"
Factory Director Yuan knew what Lao Fan meant, "You are referring to the unhealthy practices in equipment procurement and construction bidding, right? I was a little worried at first, but before the start of the technical transformation project, Fang Hanmin took the initiative to request the establishment of a temporary engineering headquarters. Although he is the commander-in-chief of the project, all major matters are collectively decided by the headquarters. He deliberately stayed away from funds and entrusted the infrastructure project to the deputy director of infrastructure in the factory."
"This young man is very smart and knows how to take the initiative to avoid suspicion and prevent outsiders from gossiping. However, he has a soft personality. Is he strong in principle? As the leader of a factory, he must not only have firm principles but also dare to resist bad phenomena. Of course, toughness The work style also needs to be balanced with appropriate compromises. This is called the art of leadership, don’t you think?”
Lao Yuan knew that Director Fan's casual words actually meant he wanted to know whether Fang Hanmin met these conditions. "As far as I know, Fang Hanmin's character is not soft at all. As long as it involves issues of principle, he even dares to talk to members of our factory-level leadership team," he said. He argued that before the new technology in the two workshops was put into use, all employees would be trained and assessed. No matter who they were, they would not be allowed to work as long as they did not pass the assessment. Even the most difficult-to-manage employees in the workshop would not be exempted from him. "
"You have the most contact with Fang Hanmin, so of course you know him best. Judging from what you mentioned, Fang Hanmin is indeed a good young man."
"Based on Fang Hanmin's comprehensive ability, I think he is the best candidate to succeed me." Director Yuan said with certainty.
Director Fan agreed with Lao Yuan, but he still had some worries, "Old man, your opinion is one thing, and the opinions of your existing team members are another matter. Do you think they can agree to Fang Hanmin taking over your job?" Class?"
"100% I won't agree." Director Yuan blurted out.
"In this case, how much resistance will your nomination encounter? Maybe the deputy director of production has long been looking forward to taking over from you, but you gave your position to a young man. How much more impact will he have to suffer?" Director Fan Said worriedly.
"What's even more incredible is that this young man is someone our Deputy Director Wang has always looked down upon." Lao Yuan added.
"Really? Why does Lao Wang always look down on Fang Hanmin?"
"Maybe you don't know Lao Wang well. He appears to be very orthodox on the surface, but in fact he is conservative, stubborn, and self-righteous. Because Fang Hanmin has no education and little qualifications, he originally entered the factory as a temporary worker. In Lao In Wang’s mind, Fang Hanmin was not on the table at all, and no matter how much contribution Fang Hanmin made to the factory, it could not change his subconscious prejudice against Fang Hanmin.”
"That's it! How could Lao Wang be like this? Don't ask where the hero comes from. He is also a highly educated person. He is so stubborn!"
"I'm not complaining in front of you. If Lao Wang had followed Fang Hanmin's attitude, Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory would not be what it is today! Because of his prejudice, everything Fang Hanmin did would not only fail to attract his attention, but would suffer from him. Resistance. Without my support, none of Fang Hanmin’s technologies would have become a reality in Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory.”
Director Fan looked at the other party in surprise, "Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"
"On the one hand, the family scandal must not be made public. On the other hand, I also have to consider the unity of the leadership team of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. If I reported these things to you in the past, it would be like I was suing the bureau. Besides, no matter how vigorously Lao Wang objects, there are still With my strong support, the process transformation Fang Hanmin wanted to implement and his technical plans have been implemented to the letter. In fact, if we hadn't talked about the successor today, I still wouldn't have told you these things." Lao Yuan told the truth.
"Oh, it seems that your life in the team has not been easy in the past few years! If we had known that Lao Wang was not playing a good role, the bureau would have transferred him from the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory."
"Hey, isn't it just to eliminate resistance? After all, I am the factory director, and this is also part of the factory director's job. As for Lao Wang's departure, not only was it unnecessary before, but it will also be unnecessary in the future, because he is the veteran of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. Let him continue to stay in the leadership team, I don’t think he can make any big waves.” Director Yuan said confidently.
"Don't think too simplistically. You were here before and you could suppress him. Therefore, Lao Wang did not cause great harm to the factory. If Fang Hanmin becomes the factory director, Lao Wang will naturally not be convinced. He is also a veteran. If he gets into trouble with Fang Hanmin, the team will be in chaos? Aren't you worried that the work of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory will not be carried out? "
"Fan Bureau, since I recommend Fang Hanmin to take over my position, I have done so after careful consideration. All the process technology and production conditions of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory are under Fang Hanmin's control, and the future of Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory also depends on Fang Hanmin's scientific and technological achievements. Unremitting efforts in progress. Even though Lao Wang is the deputy director in charge of production, how much does he know about the production situation of the entire factory? If production or technical issues are discussed in the factory team, I think Lao Wang’s opinions are more important than Fang Hanmin’s There is not much resistance to the decision-making.”
Director Fan nodded, "In terms of technology and production, Fang Hanmin can completely dominate. If Lao Wang puts pressure on Fang Hanmin as a veteran and affects his decision-making, do you think Fang Hanmin can withstand it?"
"I said earlier that Fang Hanmin is a very principled person. Regarding technology and production, Fang Hanmin will stick to his principles without giving in. As for other aspects, as long as he does not violate the general principles, he may not bother to interfere. Back then When Fang Hanmin was promoted to the chief of the technical section, the technical section was almost entirely composed of old scientific and technical personnel, who were also considered veterans of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. I think the resistance he encountered at that time was no less than the resistance he would face when he became the director in the future, but he successfully dealt with it. overcome those challenges.”
"I think the situation is not necessarily as simple as you think. Those old technicians in the technical department are just ordinary employees with no positions or rights. They can only contradict each other in person and do some small work behind the scenes, but Lao Wang is the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory after all. The first deputy factory director, the second most powerful person in the factory, if he competes with Fang Hanmin, I think the resistance will be extraordinary."
Director Yuan thought for a moment, "Well, your worries are justified, but Fang Hanmin also has his own unique advantages. His technological achievements won the first prize of the province's Science and Technology Progress Award last year. This honor is enough to offset Lao Wang's status as a veteran. In addition, he participated in a national pharmaceutical technology seminar in the first half of the year. At the meeting, he read papers published in famous national publications, which shocked the participants. Fang Hanmin has now become a nationally famous expert in the industry. I I think, facing Fang Hanmin today, Lao Wang might be more restrained."
"Yes, when a veteran meets an expert, his temper may not be so strong. However, except for Lao Wang, don't the others in the team have any ideas?" Director Fan reminded again.
"Lao Xia is the chief engineer. At first, his attitude toward Fang Hanmin was somewhat similar to that of Lao Wang. As Fang Hanmin continued to make technical achievements, his attitude changed. In addition, he was slapped in the face by Fang Hanmin's test results. Lao Xia Now Fang Hanmin keeps a distance from him, and since he is the oldest, he should not have such unrealistic ideas. If the deputy director in charge of logistics infrastructure and finance is self-aware, he should follow the trend and do his best. Do your own job.”
"It seems like what you said, Fang Hanmin is the best candidate to succeed you. Before the bureau officially announces it to the public, you have to say hello to the current team members, do their job well, and try to win their support. . In addition, after all, Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is a large-scale local state-owned enterprise with thousands of employees. To be its leader, there are requirements for political appearance. Maybe Fang Hanmin has not joined the organization yet? Based on your understanding of him, do you think he is close to joining? How far does it fall short of the organization’s requirements?”
The issue mentioned by Director Fan was ignored by Lao Yuan, but he was not very worried about it. “This matter is very critical. However, judging from Fang Hanmin’s initiative in work and his sense of responsibility, With a positive and enterprising spirit, good character and strict self-discipline, I think he already has the conditions to join the organization, the only difference is just a formality."
"If this is the case, you should do this as soon as possible after returning, and then communicate with the team members so that they can be mentally prepared." Director Fan warned.
"Okay, time is pressing. If there is nothing else, I will go back." After saying that, Lao Yuan stood up and left.
"Why are you in such a hurry? No matter how tight the time is, you can't stay for a few more minutes, right?"
Lao Yuan sat down again, "Why, do you have anything else to do?"
"I just had another idea. Regarding Fang Hanmin, if you encounter too much resistance in the team, you can push the matter to the bureau and push it to me."
"I don't understand what you mean." Lao Yuan looked at the other party inexplicably.
"Just like what I did, you recommend several candidates to the bureau at the same time, and nominally let the bureau decide, but in fact it has already been decided. Even if the members of your team have objections, you will be selected. .”
"Fan Bureau, thank you for your kindness! But I don't need to do this. Most of the members of the leadership team of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory are reasonable. For a few members, I have long been accustomed to listening to their objections, but that cannot sway me. decision. I believe that as long as we explain the truth thoroughly, we can definitely gain the understanding and support of most members. I have this confidence."
"Then I'm worrying too much. You're right. Explain the truth thoroughly, strive to gain the understanding of the majority of team members, try to resolve conflicts, and create a relaxed and peaceful working environment for your successor. Fang Hanmin is young after all. He took over We will also need everyone’s support in the future.”
