Chapter 89 The Distressed Business Leader
The fact that the cement plant didn't cause a scene surprised many business leaders in the county.
Did the county government really allocate funds to the cement plant to help it weather this crisis?
Many business leaders began to regret ignoring the demands of Executive Deputy County Head Lan Guanghui.
It's just about raising some money, isn't it?
Even a few tens of thousands of yuan would be fine as a token.
Now look what's happened; they haven't raised a single penny, and they've offended Executive Deputy Lan Guanghui and County Head Lei Yaohua.
In the past few days, they went to report to Executive Deputy County Head Lan Guanghui and County Head Lei Yaohua, but were turned away by both.
Their applications for county-level support to get taxis were all rejected.
Many people began trying to contact Lei Yaohua and Lan Guanghui's secretaries, hoping to get an opportunity to report to Lei Yaohua and Lan Guanghui.
However, Lei Yaohua and Lan Guanghui's secretary knew that the leaders did not like these business leaders, so they politely declined.
A few days later, under bright sunshine and a gentle breeze, the county government solemnly convened a grand and significant enterprise development conference.
The spacious and bright conference hall was packed with people, with no seats available. Business leaders from all sectors of the county had gathered together, creating a particularly serious and solemn atmosphere.
At the beginning of the meeting, County Mayor Lei Yaohua and Executive Deputy County Mayor Lan Guanghui walked onto the podium with solemn expressions.
Their eyes were sharp as they scanned the crowd below the stage, and then they began to speak in a steady and powerful voice.
Comrades!
The county party committee and county government have solemnly entrusted these enterprises to you, which shows that they have high hopes for you!
I have high hopes that you will use your wisdom and talent to manage these enterprises well and help them grow and thrive.
However, the reality is so disappointing!
Executive Deputy County Head Lan Guanghui criticized most of the business leaders present without holding back.
"Under your management, most enterprises have not only failed to achieve their goal of growth and expansion, but have even struggled to maintain their original level."
Many companies today are in a state of internal chaos, and their business is deteriorating. It's a complete mess!
This has truly let down the county party committee, the county government, and all the people of the county who have placed high hopes on you!
At this point, Executive Deputy County Head Lan Guanghui paused slightly, then emphasized his point.
At this moment, the entire conference hall was silent. The business leaders who had been criticized by name all lowered their heads, their faces flushed, and dared not meet the gaze of Lan Guanghui, the executive deputy county head on the stage.
Those who were not blamed also looked nervous, secretly relieved but also reflecting on whether they had the same problem.
"We must never tolerate or condone those business leaders who are clearly incompetent and unable to perform their duties."
Decisive measures must be taken to remove him from his leadership position.
Let truly capable and responsible individuals take their place, leading the company out of its predicament and towards new heights!
Finally, Executive Deputy County Head Lan Guanghui stated unequivocally.
These words struck everyone like a hammer blow, shaking the entire audience.
"If a company is poorly managed and not profitable, it is most likely because the thinking of its person in charge is flawed!"
County Head Lei Yaohua raised the issue of ideology with a serious expression and emphasized it.
"Now, thirteen years have passed since the reform and opening up!"
However, a considerable number of people still cling to their outdated and backward ideas!
They are neither willing to be proactive nor willing to actively seek change!
All they did all day long was eagerly hope that the county would provide various forms of support and assistance, without having any thought of self-reliance whatsoever.
This kind of mentality—thinking all day long about reaping the benefits without sowing and waiting for others to "feed" you—is absolutely terrible!
County Magistrate Lei Yaohua looked intently at everyone present and continued speaking.
"You must change your mindset as soon as possible!"
We will face challenges with a more positive attitude, be bold in innovation and change, and go all out to manage the company in an orderly manner!
I hereby solemnly declare that our county's finances currently have no extra funds to provide support to enterprises.
Furthermore, it is absolutely impossible to allocate any funds to the company in the future!
Therefore, every enterprise must rely on its own strength, give full play to its initiative, and find ways to forge ahead in adversity and achieve breakthrough development!
At this point, Lei Yaohua raised his voice and made clear demands of the business leaders present in an unquestionable tone.
Many of the business leaders present seemed somewhat uneasy at this moment.
Many people looked at each other, their eyes revealing confusion and helplessness.
A tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire conference room.
"If you can't do a good job, then you might as well get out of here!"
"I am serious," said Lan Guanghui, the executive deputy county head.
His words struck like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of everyone present.
"The county won't give a single penny to incompetent guys like you to support business development!"
Following that, County Head Lei Yaohua added without any hesitation.
These words sent a chill down the spines of the already anxious business leaders.
However, for these business leaders, running a business well is easier said than done.
They had racked their brains and exhausted all their efforts, but the company continued to decline under their leadership and gradually went downhill.
Faced with such a predicament, many business leaders began to secretly consider whether they should be transferred away from here.
After all, staying in such an environment would likely only lead to more blame and pressure, and possibly even more serious consequences.
It is obvious that the actions of County Head Lei Yaohua and Executive Deputy County Head Lan Guanghui were deliberately intended to make things difficult for them, and they had no intention of letting them have an easy time.
Immediately afterwards, Executive Deputy County Head Lan Guanghui solemnly took out a detailed document, cleared his throat, and solemnly announced the tax payment tasks that each enterprise needed to undertake.
Each number felt like a heavy lead weight pressing down on the hearts of the business leaders present.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this tax payment task is related to the economic development and public works construction of our county."
Please take this seriously!
Every business must fulfill its tax obligations on time and in accordance with the agreed amounts!
Lan Guanghui emphasized.
"I want to make my position clear here!"
If any company's manager fails to meet the tax payment target on time and in full, they will be demoted to a clerk!
This is not a joke, and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.
County head Lei Yaohua then added.
When these business leaders heard about the tax burden they faced, they were all speechless with astonishment.
The county's demand for such a high tax payment target means that their company's profits must increase significantly.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to accomplish such a difficult goal.
For a moment, the venue fell silent, with only the heavy breathing of the people echoing throughout.
Finally, someone couldn't resist breaking the oppressive silence.
Many people shook their heads and waved their hands, indicating that such a task was simply too difficult to accomplish.
"Since you think you can't do it, then please hand in your resignation right now!"
Don't stand in the toilet without using it!
Faced with the doubts and opposition from the crowd, Lei Yaohua responded without changing his expression.
His words resonated deeply, silencing the previously noisy meeting room once again.
