The news that Wang Yu would once again preside over a general staff meeting spread like wildfire throughout Jiangyang County.
This was not the first time the automobile factory had convened a general staff meeting; since Wang Yu took over, several had already been held.
Even Wang Yu's position as factory director after the state-owned to private enterprise reform was solidified at such a general staff meeting... although that could be considered taking the blame.
However, everyone knew that every general staff meeting convened since Wang Yu fully took charge of the automobile factory had been incredibly important.
The plans and measures implemented had propelled the automobile factory to a new level.
It could be said that the automobile factory's current prosperity, with its improving performance day by day, was laid down at these few staff meetings.
And this time... Wang Yu was convening a general staff meeting again. Could it be that there were new important decisions or measures to announce?
Or was there some major undertaking in the works?
Everyone who heard the news muttered to themselves.
What was even more peculiar was that Wang Yu was consolidating the staff meeting and the supply and marketing conference into one event?
The supply and marketing conference was usually held at the end of the year or the beginning of the new year, wasn't it?
It was a meeting with all suppliers, partners, distributors, etc., to summarize the year's progress and issues, and to develop future plans and strategies.
This was a common practice for many companies and enterprises, especially state-owned factories.
Various boasts, various reports, various interpretations, and so on...
As the saying goes, "procurement never starves, finance never goes hungry," and this was an annual opportunity to "harvest leeks"... cough!
In short, the supply and marketing conference was important,
and important in many ways!
But the problem was?
Everyone knew that Wang Yu consistently opposed all forms of formalism and was a true pragmatist.
He had repeatedly issued stern warnings against holding pointless meetings, let alone those so-called "leek harvesting" activities, and anyone caught doing so would be directly fired and dismissed.
How could he now be voluntarily convening such a meeting himself?
And it was mid-year now, what was the point of holding it now?
Furthermore, it was specifically announced that all cooperative units and suppliers must attend,
and all business responsible cadres and all employees were not allowed to take leave without special circumstances!
What did "without special circumstances" mean?
It meant they had to come!
When had Wang Yu ever made such a domineering and forceful demand?
Or were there some hidden reasons or factors at play?
Everyone who received the news murmured to themselves, and some even began to network, trying to uncover some so-called inside information.
Unfortunately, all inquiries ultimately led to a single statement.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, two months later, the general staff meeting and the supply and marketing conference would be held at the Jianghan City Exhibition Center in the provincial capital.
That was all!
No other information was available!
No one knew what kind of game Wang Yu was playing, but one thing was certain.
Given Wang Yu's consistent generosity, extravagant imagination, and decisive actions,
this would undoubtedly be a major undertaking!
Come, you must come!
Otherwise, you will surely regret it!
And with two months to prepare their itineraries, as long as the sky didn't fall, everyone could surely make it!
Including the distributors from out of town, who, after receiving the calls and faxes, unanimously made their decisions.
After all, no one knew what Wang Yu had up his sleeve.
And given Wang Yu's usual style, there was likely some major undertaking or opportunity hidden within.
If they refused, it would be like turning their backs on their own money!
In an instant, the entire Jiangyang County, and even many places in Guanjian Province, were abuzz!
And Wang Yu, the ultimate source of the news,
had already left Jiangyang County and returned to Jianghan City, the provincial capital of Guanjian Province.
...
"Little Factory Director, where are we going now?"
Brother Hu, who served as both driver and lackey, was very excited.
News of Wang Yu returning to Jiangyang County and announcing the general staff meeting and supply and marketing conference spread shortly after, but it had nothing to do with him. Wherever the little factory director pointed, he would follow... pfft, rather, he would go.
However, what made him happy was that after Wang Yu had briefly handled some matters and made arrangements for the production progress of the various large orders received at the industrial expo,
he had arranged for a batch of the newly produced "Shuguang No. 1" super buses to be rushed to Jianghan City.
After all, the general bus factory had a large number of orders from government agencies, which were to be supplied preferentially.
No one's order could be delayed, but government orders could not be slow... cough! m..oΓg
So Wang Yu personally led the team, driving along with the transported commercial vehicles.
It had to be said that the "Shuguang No. 1" was incredibly comfortable to drive, no wonder the little factory director dared to call it a super bus.
It was both stable and fast on this journey, with very little bumpy sensation.
And the seating and handling of the vehicle were designed very well.
This made Brother Hu feel that driving such a bus was a pleasure.
Of course, what made him even more excited was that since they were back in Jianghan City, wouldn't they be able to visit the Jin family father and daughter?
And see if Jin Xiumin's mother had been discharged from the hospital? That's right, he, Hu, had to get the surgical fees back, after all, it was advanced from his salary, so he definitely had to get it back... that's right, that's how it was!
"Wait a moment, Old Feng, go to the government patent office and collect the patent certificates we previously applied for, and here is a new batch of documents, go and apply for them as well."
Wang Yu nodded and began to instruct,
"No problem." Feng Daochun said solemnly,
"I, Old Feng, will definitely handle things perfectly! So that your subsequent plans can be greatly developed, Little Factory Director!"
"...This guy probably conjured up some scheme again, didn't he?"
Wang Yu glanced speechlessly at Feng Daochun,
"Don't be so formal, it's just a normal work application, but I don't trust others with these confidential matters.
Also, Han Jun, take Nie Gaocheng and the others to the 367 Institute, and see how the batteries supplied by them are doing. This falls under the scope of your procurement department's work. And have Nie Gaocheng and the others communicate with the people at the 367 Institute. They are all employees who strive for self-improvement, so they should understand and tolerate each other."
The so-called "employees who strive for self-improvement" were actually disabled people, Wang Yu said it somewhat euphemistically.
The disabled people from Taiping Village had been bullied and harmed in other factories before, so even though they were now under Wang Yu's command, they still seemed very cautious and out of place.
So Wang Yu directly brought Nie Gaocheng and a few other leading disabled individuals this time, letting them communicate with the people at the 367 Institute, as a form of opening up and guidance.
After all, the disabled people at the 367 Institute, who became disabled later in life, had more psychological burdens and a sense of loss than those who were congenitally disabled!
It was a good opportunity for them to share their experiences and offer comfort.
"Okay, Little Factory Director, please don't worry."
"Mm."
Han Jun and Nie Gaocheng replied respectively, though the latter seemed less enthusiastic.
"Then... Liu Lu."
Wang Yu turned his head and looked at Liu Lu, the newly appointed head secretary who was accompanying him for the first time.
"You will accompany me to meet some people, some very annoying, but very important people!"
