Spring Breeze 1991

Yao Yuan stayed at Jichai Power Plant for two full months. He was the focus, he was valued wherever he was, and thus Jichai Power Plant received unprecedented attention.

Since the establishment of Chunfeng Group, Yao Yuan has been separated from front-line work and put his focus on the front line of expanding territory. He is the one who charges forward, leading a group of people in the front to break down the position, and the professional management team follows behind. Into take over.

Now, he began to consciously deploy the charge troops, while he himself slowly retreated until he was completely pushed behind the scenes.

Based on such a strategic idea, on November 1994, 11, Chunfeng Group held a meeting in the auditorium of Jichai Power Plant. The group's strategic direction and policy established the major move for all the enterprises to join the supply chain management system, established Yao Yuan's absolute leadership in Chunfeng Group, and established the fundamental principle of enterprise management specialization.

It is known as the Jichai Conference in history.

More than 5000 people participated in the conference, all of whom were managers of companies at all levels and heads of important departments, and the entire auditorium was filled.

Attending the meeting were Xia Honghua representing ministries and commissions, Zhang Gensheng, executive vice governor of Guangdong Province, Liu Peiyan, executive vice governor of Shandong Province, Wen Mingbao, executive vice mayor of Mingzhu City, leaders of Shenzhen City, Nangang and other cities, and leaders of various cooperative central enterprises. The person in charge is headed by Wen Tiejun.

After the conference was successfully concluded, Xia Honghua said with emotion, "In just three years, Chunfeng Group has developed into a giant conglomerate with more than [-] employees. Xiao Yao, your achievements are unprecedented. A miracle of reform and opening up."

Yao Yuan smiled and said with a complicated mood, "I didn't expect that there would be so many people. When I started doing business, there were only three or two kittens. I really didn't expect that there are so many people now. The reform and opening up itself is a miracle. , and it's happening."

"Your overseas career is a bright spot. If one or two state-owned enterprises have such achievements, then our state-owned enterprises' going global strategy will be considered a success." When Xia Honghua said this, he looked at Wen Tiejun. Leaders of large state-owned enterprises.

Wen Tiejun and others were very embarrassed.

Yao Yuan spoke for them and said, "There is no doubt that state-owned enterprises will be able to go out. In fact, both the Petroleum Corporation and the Petrochemical Corporation have been deeply involved in the development of the Shidan Oilfield. If I remember correctly, These two companies have already earned over [-] million U.S. dollars in the third quarter.”

"Yes, yes, we just held a mobilization meeting, and strive to earn [-] million US dollars this year." Wen Tiejun said confidently.

Not to be outdone, Zhang Huaide of the petrochemical head office said, "Director Xia, our petrochemical head office is also aiming for this goal. It has already completed 80.00% of the goal. It is not a big problem to complete the set task by the end of the year."

Xia Honghua has officially served as the director of the leadership office, in charge of the Economic Reform Committee and the Planning Committee, so he can be said to be the number one person in charge.

He is not surprised by the foreign exchange earnings of these two companies, including construction engineering companies, because these companies are all brought by Chunfeng Group to earn foreign exchange overseas. Now he is more concerned about other types of companies, especially technology companies.

Earning foreign exchange by selling raw materials, agricultural products, and low-end industrial products is too low-level, and it will not last long.Now, the cutting-edge bureaucratic class represented by Xia Honghua has a clear understanding of this.

Chatting all the way out of the auditorium, there were several queues lined up in the square in front, in order, and the workers were queuing up to receive the souvenirs of the conference, which were grain, oil, pork, milk and electric fans full of sincerity.

"The style of Chunfeng Group is pragmatic." Xia Honghua said with emotion, "Some companies also distribute souvenirs, and they always make things that look good but don't work. I think it's better to find gold."

A group of state-owned enterprise leaders could only laugh awkwardly.

Of course, the Chunfeng Group is rich and powerful, and of course they can do this. If they have money, no one would do it, but these words can only be said in their hearts.

As souvenirs for this conference, all employees of the Spring Breeze Company have them. In addition to real supplies, there are also thermos cups printed with the commemoration of the conference.

Just for these souvenirs, Chunfeng Group spent tens of millions of Huaxia coins.

Except for super-large state-owned enterprises such as Petroleum Corporation and Petrochemical Corporation, there are really not many companies that can afford it.

After chatting a few words at the entrance of the auditorium, the executives of Chunfeng Group accompanied others to visit the Jichai Power Plant. Xia Honghua had something to say to Yao Yuan, and the two slowly wandered around in the factory area.

With his hands behind his back, he said as he walked, "I heard that you are going to obey the assignment of the state to participate in the work. If you have any specific intentions, I can help."

"You are very well informed." Yao Yuan smiled.

Xia Honghua smiled and said, "You forgot that your supervisor is an academician. I talked with Academician Mo during the Academy of Engineering meeting some time ago. He hopes that you can participate in the work. With your ability, you can drive the economic development of one side. I agree. .”

"To put it bluntly, with the full investment of the Chunfeng Group, it can easily drive the rapid economic development of an inland province, but at present, this model is not a long-term solution. There is only one Chunfeng Group in the whole country." Yao Yuan seeks truth from facts say.

The words were harsh, but Xia Honghua understood what Yao Yuan meant, and nodded slowly, "Yes, the key is to practice internal strength well."

Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "After graduation, I decided to obey the state's assignment to work. On the one hand, I didn't want to disappoint my family. On the other hand, I really wanted to contribute to poverty alleviation in poor areas. As for whether to work in the government or in a state-owned enterprise, Haven't figured it out yet."

"I admire your courage from the bottom of my heart. Does it count as a brave retreat?" Xia Honghua looked at the young man in front of him and admired him more and more.

According to the classification of youth by the United Nations, the 40-year-old Xia Honghua is also among the youth.

Yao Yuan shook his head with a smile, "It's impossible to completely step back. It's basically what I said at the meeting. From now on, I'll only delegate the strategic direction and other tasks to them behind the scenes."

"It should be so. It would be inappropriate for you to step back completely. You are only 21 years old this year." Xia Honghua said.

Yao Yuan said, "Well, I will be 22 next year, and I will graduate with a master's degree in two years. My teacher said that I don't have to study part-time. After the Spring Festival, I will start working in a new position."

"Then I suggest you work in the government. It doesn't make much sense for you to work in a state-owned enterprise. The government works the most comprehensively. Aren't you interested in law? You can also do some research in this area." Xia Honghua gave his opinion.

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it again, I will make a decision next month."

"Xiao Yao, you are a person with family and country feelings, but I still suggest you to work in the coastal areas. Get rich first and then get rich. You have to get rich in some areas before you can make other areas rich. Your words should be in the coastal areas. The region can be better utilized." Xia Honghua put forward his own ideas.

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. Wherever I go, the investment of Chunfeng Group will be invested. This is difficult to change. You hope to use this to promote the economic development of coastal areas. I can do that." Understood. But my point of view is different from yours."

Being seen through, Xia Honghua was not embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Tell me."

After lighting a cigarette, Yao Yuan said, "I agree with the development strategy of getting rich first and getting rich later, but I don't think the inland areas should be the type of people who get rich later. To put it bluntly, why should the inland areas The masses bear the pain of reform and opening up?"

Waving his hand, Yao Yuan shook his head and said, "I understand the truth, but I just don't agree with such a concept. This is my subjective opinion. If I want to work in the government, I will definitely choose a difficult area, a difficult area in the interior go."

He said, "The fact that Chunfeng Group followed me to invest and settle down does not solve the fundamental problem. Even if Chunfeng Group spends a sum of money to support the people of a county, it is easy, but it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. The key is Let the local people have the ability to create a happy life.”

Xia Honghua took it for granted, "Yes, it will take a long time. I'm worried that you don't have the patience, because it may take you more than ten years to do this."

Young people are aggressive, but it also means that young people are relatively impatient. It only took three years for Chunfeng Group to expand and develop. Yao Yuan's style is to open and close. Impressed patiently.

"Yeah, my patience is limited. That's because 1 years is too long and we are too far behind. This is the sense of urgency that history has given me." Yao Yuan admitted and said with emotion.

Xia Honghua knew that Yao Yuan had made up his mind, so he stopped mentioning the work in the coastal areas, and instead said, "Let me know if you have made a decision, and I will arrange it for you."

Yao Yuan smiled and waved his hands, "No need, it's too exaggerated for such a small matter to be asked by a dignified vice-ministerial-level leader. I put forward my intention and organize the assignment. Now that I have made up my mind to do this job, I have done it. Under the label of the chairman of the board of directors of Chunfeng Group, to put it bluntly, I am no different from other graduates."

"Okay, in a word, call me directly if you need my help." Xia Honghua no longer forced it.

"That's right." Yao Yuan said, "I remembered something. What did Zhong Weiguo and the others go to the UAE for? It has been more than three months, and I have a guard team still with them."

Xia Honghua shook his head and said mysteriously, "It's not the United Arab Emirates, it's Saudi Arabia. It's estimated to be half a year. You, don't worry about your security team."

"Saudi Arabia..." Yao Yuan suddenly remembered an incident in the 80s, and thought that Zhong Weiguo was leading a group of technicians. He could basically guess that it was probably related to the Saudi missile base.

So he didn't ask any more questions, Xia Honghua's ability to speak up to this point was already very good.
