The years of red flags

The Gulfstream passenger plane chartered by Jiang Hua stopped at the airport. He came out of the VIP channel with several entourages and suitcases. General Manager Liu and his assistant had been waiting for a long time.

"Welcome, Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "You have already come to the airport to pick me up. If you want to go further, you will have to go to Beijing to pick me up."

Sitting in a Mercedes, Jiang Hua and General Manager Liu said with a smile: "You guys are making quite a noise, and you've alarmed the leader. Give me an order, so I can come and see what you're doing."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Mr. Liu said with a smile, "It's normal to have some disagreements in business. If you don't argue, it won't be clear. Once it's clarified, everything will be fine. It's not a personal conflict."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Jiang Hua smiled and said, "You are all smart people. I can't control you. But the leader asked me to come here in person, so I can only go through the motions."

"We can't just pretend to obey our leaders." Mr. Liu said with a smile, "We still have to say what needs to be said and investigate what needs to be investigated. We can tell everyone everything."

"Relax, I'm really just here for the sake of formality." Jiang Hua smiled and shrugged, "To be honest, I don't care about this 20% share. Even if you fail, I can still sell this ship for money."

When we arrived at the office building of Donghai Mining, it had been cleaned and looked brand new. Another vice president was busy working inside and outside the building.

After a half-hour break, the three vice presidents talked to Jiang Hua and reported on the basic situation of the company. From their words, one could feel that the work was not going smoothly.

They also wanted to hold a management meeting and let Jiang Hua speak, but Jiang Hua directly refused.

"I'm here on a commission. The leader said that this is to solve the problems of you three. It has nothing to do with other management. Once your problems are solved, all the work below will go smoothly."

"Thank you for your concern, leader."

Jiang Hua knocked on the table and said, "I don't have much friendship with the three of you, and I don't know what you are doing. I will say a few more words to you as an outsider. If you think it makes sense, you can listen to it. If you think it doesn't make sense, just treat it as my fart."

The vice president smiled and said, "You say, you say."

"East China Sea Mining, this is just a pilot project for the seabed mining industry." Jiang Hua glanced at the three people and said, "You don't think this is the pinnacle of your career, do you? If you see it this way, then it only shows that you are short-sighted."

Jiang Hua looked back and saw a world map hanging behind his desk: "Look at how long our coastline is? How many places are suitable for seabed mining? How big is the world's ocean area?"

"Undersea mining will be a booming new industry in the future." Jiang Hua pointed at Mr. Liu and said, "If you do a good job at Donghai Mining, you will probably be promoted to be responsible for undersea mining. You two may also become founders of other companies. Why are you so short-sighted?"

Jiang Hua laid it all out to them and said, "I know what you are fighting about. Mr. Liu built up Donghai Mining single-handedly. You two are veterans in the mining industry. Is it interesting for you to fight for power and profit?"

The three people denied it in unison: "No, no." "Don't beat around the bush in front of others." Jiang Hua shook his head: "In fact, what is wrong with you, doesn't the leader know? The leader knows it very well. He asked me to warn you because he thinks things are not out of control yet. If it really comes to that, I will not be the one to come."

Jiang Hua glanced at the three of them. They looked at each other, with a look of luck in their eyes that showed they had escaped disaster.

"If the three of you can run this company well, you can all move up a level." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "Why do you have to fight to the death for the sake of a few petty gains?"

Jiang Hua changed the subject: "Unless you three think you don't want to make any more progress, whoever has this idea can file a report and I will transfer you to another place. Donghai Mining currently does not need people who are stagnant."

Jiang Hua stopped and looked at the three of them. All three of them were shaking their heads. Nonsense, who doesn't want to make progress? If they don't want to make progress, why would they still fight?

"You've figured it out, right?" Jiang Hua said with a smile, "We are all smart people, so it's understandable that you were confused for a while. The reason why the leader asked me to come and talk to you is because I can be fearless, and sometimes I don't like to show mercy to others, but I think my ruthless words just now should be very effective."

The three men nodded in agreement. At that time, there was a popular saying that one flower-growing man is a dragon, but three flower-growing men are just a worm. It is not without reason. Chen Shouting in the Dye House also said that for men to work together, it is a great art not to compete with each other.

"I came here just to tell you this." He smiled and said, "I believe it will be effective. I will stay here for three to five days to see the specific operation of the company and report to the higher-ups."

"No problem, we've always kept an office for you."

Jiang Hua waved his hand and said, "I won't sit in the office. I finally got a chance to come out, so I'll just treat it as a trip. You guys do your own work, and I'll take advantage of these few days to have some fun here."

"We didn't book a big hotel for lunch." Mr. Liu said with a smile, "We booked a farmhouse by the sea, where we can eat fresh seafood right after we catch it."

Jiang Hua said happily, "That's right. I won't take care of it. Just do your job well and report to the higher-ups. In the future, our ocean mining will definitely not be limited to the domestic market. If you run this company well, you will all be local lords in the future."

After lunch, Jiang Hua was sent to the hotel to rest, and the three of them held a closed-door meeting.

Mr. Liu said first: "Based on my understanding of Mr. Jiang, his words are still authoritative and forward-looking. What he says should be the future. Since he has said so, can the three of us work together in the future?"

"Boss Jiang has spoken out loud, so let's not hide anything. Since you, Old Liu, have already taken a step back, and I, Old Zhang, am also a straightforward person, I will definitely cooperate with you and take care of my own business."

Another vice president also nodded and said, "I am a straightforward person. If there are any conflicts at work, you all have to bear with me, but I will definitely cooperate with you in your work."

Jiang Hua received a call from his leader that evening: "Jiang Hua, is your work very effective? We held a video conference today, and the three of them took the initiative to review their work with me."
