Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 732: Fuck a large area, shocking people’s hearts

Nanshan Automobile Group has once again been on the hot search list.

In less than a month, more than 120 people were fired, and more than 20 of them were handed over to relevant departments for processing.

This intensity is definitely very strong among private enterprises.

Combined with the news that a flight attendant held a banner at the entrance of Nanshan Automobile Group some time ago, many people felt that the flight attendant had made great contributions to Nanshan Automobile Group.

It is also the automobile industry. Nanshan Automobile Group has made such a big response. It is naturally impossible for other companies to make no movement at all.

"Mr. Wang, I have re-formulated the "Great Wall Motors Integrity System" and will officially announce it after the company approves it."

As the director of the purchasing department of Great Wall Motors, Wei Qiang is not afraid of being investigated, but he is also a little worried about whether the people below him are so clean.

There is no way, who told this anti-corruption campaign in the automobile industry to be caused by the purchasing department of Nanshan Automobile Group?

Wei Qiang, who is also the head of the purchasing department of an automobile company, has a bit of a free will.

This immediately made some companies feel the pressure.

He is not from a purchasing background, but he has naturally heard about some of the practices of the General Purchasing Department in Shanghai.

Under Wang Ying's rule, ordinary employees of Great Wall Motors are very self-disciplined, which is indeed rare in China.

Wang Huiliang called Yu Xing to his office.

If you accept a banquet in private, you will be punished internally if found out.

In the internal magazine of Great Wall Motors, there is also a special section called "Integrity World", which contains telephone numbers, Penguin numbers, e-mails and other contact information for employees to report in real time.

This kind of normal business dealings will not be associated with integrity.

"Since the establishment of the company, we have always regarded 'integrity' and 'trust' as our core concepts, and have made great efforts to ensure that the company's employees do not make mistakes from a institutional perspective."

“At the same time, by identifying areas and positions with corruption risks and by improving systems and processes, we will conduct anti-bribery investigations on specific transactions, projects, activities, business partners and employees with greater bribery risks, assess the level of bribery risks, and take effective measures. control measures.”

Yu Xingshi has walked step by step from an ordinary employee in the purchasing department to where he is today. Naturally, he is very aware of the situation below.

"Mr. Wang, those online posts often talk about untrue things."

Wei Qiang was prepared to regard the "Great Wall Motors Integrity System System" as one of his major political achievements, so he not only formulated the relevant specific provisions, but also prepared the meaning behind these provisions in full.

In its previous life, Great Wall Motors was the first domestic car company to pass ISO37001 anti-bribery management system certification.

After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

"There is zero tolerance for corruption and severe punishment for all forms of corruption."

"In terms of model development and parts technology, there is indeed a gap between us and Nanshan Automobile Group. There is nothing to deny this."

Compared with the relevant systems announced previously, the content this time is more detailed and more enforceable.

Even internal employee gatherings can easily violate the warning line, so it is best not to do so.

But at Great Wall Motors, this behavior is absolutely not allowed.

"Yes, this time we formulated the "Great Wall Motors Integrity System System" with the purpose of building an integrity education system to improve employees' professional ethics through multi-level training, pre-job testing, development activities, etc., and to implement a top-down approach Integrity management and continuous development of integrity education for employees’ families, suppliers, dealers and other relevant parties.”

As an anti-bribery compliance management tool, ISO37001 is designed to help organizations manage bribery risks and guide organizations on how to build systems and frameworks to manage potential bribery risks to prevent, detect, discover and deal with bribery risks, thereby reducing corporate operating costs and improving customer Confidence in the organization, establishing an image of integrity, and sharpening competitive advantages.

Many people suddenly discovered that a private automobile company did so well in terms of integrity.

"Well, I really didn't expect that this kind of thing could have a publicity effect before. It seems that our thinking is not broad enough."

For example, it is normal for employees in the purchasing department to have meals with suppliers occasionally in most car companies.

After Wei Qiang and Wang Ying reported, the "Great Wall Motors Integrity System System" was officially issued.

However, something is wrong with the public opinion online now, and he feels that he needs to take some action.

It's a bit unjustifiable if I don't make some good moves.

Great Wall Motors has internal regulations that require company employees to participate in banquets between suppliers and other people with whom they have business dealings. They must ask for permission in advance and can only participate after receiving approval.

It can be said that in order to pass such a system certification, the company must have some relevant system documents to support it and implement it in a real way.

"In this regard, you can consider working with the sales department to see if you can find an advertising company to help operate it and promote it well."

"I think we can hold an integrity meeting within the procurement department, sign an integrity commitment letter, and then find some relevant cases to explain to everyone and provide a warning."

“But in terms of anti-corruption, we are ahead of Nanshan Automobile Group.”

"Yu Bu, now on forums such as Autohome and our sub-forum of Shanghai General Motors, there are many people complaining, saying that the people in your purchasing department are eating and drinking, and it looks ugly."

"This is not about placing restrictions on employees, this is about protecting our employees."

"By establishing a three-dimensional integrity system that integrates education, prevention, and crackdowns, we provide employees with a fair, just, simple and transparent work and development platform, and provide business partners with a green and healthy cooperation environment to achieve shared results and win-win cooperation."

And after this system was announced internally, it was quickly "unintentionally" spread on the Internet.

In the past, as long as the company's performance was good and no one was causing trouble, he would turn a blind eye.

Otherwise it will be difficult to explain.

Wang Ying took the "Great Wall Motors Integrity System" document with many pages and quickly read through it.

"In the past, we have always been advertised as the car company with the strongest anti-corruption efforts, but we rarely publicized our work in this area."

"I haven't noticed this kind of publicity effect before, and it's not too late to make up for it now."

Precisely because he knew this situation, he didn't want to delve into it even more.

Because if you dig deeper, things get a little complicated.

Even he himself can't say that there is no problem at all.

"After the supplier's mold production is completed, a 5000 yuan inspection fee will be charged for accepting a set of molds. Regardless of the size of the mold, it is calculated based on the number of sets."

"Even simple fixtures and inspection tools are charged according to this standard."

"Some inspection tools for small brackets originally cost several thousand yuan, but because of the inspection fee, suppliers did not dare to quote less than 1 yuan, otherwise they would easily lose money."

"These things have been written in such detail on the forum, is it true?"

Wang Huiliang stared at Yu Xing with a somewhat ugly expression.

Although he doesn't want anything big to happen to Magic City under his watch.

In particular, GM is now China's largest car company by sales. If it wants to maintain this position in the future, it will require the joint efforts of the company's employees.

If something goes wrong at this key point, it will definitely not look good.

By then Wang Huiliang's leader will also have opinions on him.

But Yu Xing's behavior of doing nothing is definitely not in line with Wang Huiliang's requirements.

"This is even more impossible."

"The number of molds, inspection tools and fixtures involved in a new model is at least more than 1000 sets. If the acceptance fee is really based on this standard, then one model will cost more than 500 million."

“No one in the purchasing department would be so bold.”

Yu Xing actually knows in his heart that individual buyers may indeed be united with quality personnel to take advantage of some suppliers.

In his view, this kind of thing is difficult to completely avoid in every company.

As long as it's not too much.

"The investment in molds, inspection tools and fixtures for a car model is almost 10 billion. Compared with this figure, the inspection fee of 500 million does not seem to be an exaggeration."

"Perhaps some people feel that they have given so many orders to each other, so it is natural for them to charge some money."

Wang Huiliang obviously did not intend to let this matter go so easily.

This time, he felt it would be more difficult to communicate without making some noise.

Yu Xing had already sensed Wang Huiliang's attitude and took a step back: "Mr. Wang, I will immediately arrange for someone to investigate and see who is stretching his hand so far."

Wang Huiliang is still dissatisfied with Yu Xing's statement, "I heard that the company's suppliers cannot just go outside to find mold manufacturers for all parts of the mold, but have to find mold manufacturers approved by our company to produce them. "

"Does this matter conform to the actual situation?"

Every industry has various invisible and visible thresholds.

For example, the mold manufacturer certification of Modu General is a kind of threshold.

Under normal circumstances, you cannot say that this threshold is wrong, and it is even an act to improve the quality of parts.

However, if you look at this issue from another angle, this may be a problem-prone place.

It is also a set of molds, and the market price may be 20.

However, if you quote prices among these certified manufacturers, the prices may all go to more than 25 yuan.

A certain tacit understanding has been formed among everyone to quote a higher price.

"Indeed, this is also based on some practices of American General Motors to ensure that the molds produced by our mold manufacturers meet our quality standards."

Regarding Wang Huiliang's question, Yu Xing didn't feel guilty at all.

Although he is not Wang Huiliang's person, he has found a backer in the Modu Automobile Group.

Otherwise, how could it be possible step by step from an ordinary employee to become the deputy director of the purchasing department of Modu GM?

“Are other companies in the industry doing the same thing?”

"Does the mold manufacturer of Xingchen Automobile have any requirements in this regard?"

Wang Huiliang kept asking for specific details.

Obviously, he planned to take this opportunity to clean up the purchasing department.

When the time comes, if you take down a few people, you can replace them with a few of your own.

"Each company's situation is different. Some car companies have a similar approach to ours. Some car companies completely leave the mold selection of parts to the parts manufacturers, without any special interference from the OEMs."

"Xingchen Automobile, as far as I know, mainly manages the quality of molds indirectly through the control of the overall quality of parts."

As soon as Yu Xing's words came to light, Wang Huiliang said: "Does that mean Xingchen Automobile doesn't restrict suppliers to purchase molds from designated mold manufacturers like we do?"

"Yes!"

<divclass="contentadv">Wang Huiliang asked so straightforwardly that Yu Xing had no choice but to go around in circles.

"In this case, it is necessary for us to carefully examine the rationality of this regulation."

"I think we have set some certification thresholds. In order to obtain this certification, the relevant mold manufacturers will try their best to convince our relevant employees to recognize their level."

"It's very easy for integrity issues to arise here."

Although Wang Huiliang has never worked in the purchasing department, he has worked his way up from the grassroots level step by step.

So he is also clear about many doorways.

He didn't find a good entry point before, so he didn't cause trouble.

Now the public opinion on the Internet has put the knife in Wang Huiliang's hands. If he doesn't make good use of it, it will be unjustifiable.

Even if Yu Xing doesn't want to, there is nothing he can do.

Wang Huiliang's rank is higher than him, and besides, he acts from the moral high ground.

Even if you want to refute, you can't find a suitable reason.

Even at this time, the more Yu Xing refutes, the easier it is for everyone to have some bad associations.

……

If GM's actions can be regarded as spreading the flames to joint venture car companies, then the actions of Spring City Automobile Group and Xifeng Group will make the anti-corruption campaign in the automobile industry even more intense.

Relevant departments directly arranged special teams to enter Spring City Automobile Group and Xifeng Automobile Group, obviously rolling up their sleeves and taking action.

Suddenly, suppliers in the entire Chinese automotive industry felt the changes in various OEMs.

It’s hard to make appointments for dinner.

It’s a bit hard to give gifts.

This is a good thing for some manufacturers.

But for some manufacturers, it is difficult to describe.

Because you can't get the key people, some jobs are stuck there.

……

"Mr. Wang, we have conducted an in-depth investigation and found out that the things reported online are half true and half false."

"But there are indeed some employees within us who have gone too far."

Within BYD, Sales Department Director Wu Huabing and Purchasing Department Director Zhong Qiang reported to Wang Fu on the turmoil caused by Xingchen Automobile's integrity campaign.

In addition to companies such as Modu General Motors having some inappropriate practices exposed by some netizens, BYD has also been exposed by some people.

However, compared to GM, BYD is more focused on the sales field.

In the field of procurement, since most auto parts are produced in-house or purchased from Nanshan Automobile Group, the problem is relatively not that serious.

Of course, only relatively speaking.

It can't really be as clean as the white lotus.

"What an extreme method?"

Wang Fu asked expressionlessly.

The company has hundreds of thousands of employees, so it is normal to have some problems.

He was mentally prepared for this.

However, some of the content exposed online goes a bit too far.

So he was in a bad mood and asked the sales department, purchasing department and other departments to work together to figure out the situation.

Of course, by letting these departments investigate on their own, it means they don't want to make the matter bigger.

"Some employees took advantage of their authority to manage 4S stores and collected tens of thousands of yuan in benefits in order to provide them with more hot-selling models."

"There are also some people who illegally apply for sales funds to dealers in order to obtain rebates from the other party..."

Wu Huabing bit the bullet and gave a few examples.

He also felt a little depressed.

He obviously kept himself clean and didn't do anything illegal.

In the end, he was tricked by the people below.

"Mr. Wang, this time Xingchen Automobile learns from Warwick's approach, which is of great reference value in the industry."

“Our Purchasing Department and the Sales Department have drafted the “BYD Company Whistleblower Protection and Reward Regulations” together. For foreign units involved in the case that take the initiative to report, whether actively or passively providing improper benefits to our company employees or their relatives, as long as they proactively provide information and actively cooperate with the investigation, and promise that similar problems will not occur again in the future, and the company will provide certain understanding and guarantee."

"For external units that intend to establish cooperative relationships, the company will retain or give priority to provide cooperation opportunities and preferential treatment based on their qualifications, business nature, report content, etc."

"The company will continue to cooperate with external units that have established cooperative relationships, and at the same time, the company will not be held accountable for breach of contract for corruption behaviors they are involved in and proactively reported."

"And if the content of these reports is found to be true after investigation, the company will also give the whistleblower a bonus ranging from 5 yuan to 1 million yuan based on the validity of the clues provided, the nature and severity of the case, etc."

"We believe that through the implementation of these measures, we can effectively prevent something like this from happening again."

Zhong Qiang was willing to take the risk this time.

He not only formulated relevant internal regulations of the company based on Xingchen Automobile, but also directly created a reward regulation.

As long as this thing is implemented properly, those bad cases that happened in the past will basically disappear slowly.

Of course, some deeply hidden situations definitely still exist.

But that doesn't hurt the overall situation.

"Now that you have all thought it through, let's announce it as soon as possible."

"We must draw lessons from the past and avoid a public opinion crisis like this one happening again."

Wang Fu still trusts Wu Huabing and Zhong Qiang.

Otherwise, they would not be allowed to investigate matters in their respective departments.

After BYD announced these things, various discussions on the Internet became more lively.

"I went to Guancheng for purchasing. How can I say that I was given special treatment? I can't control it?"

“Well done, treating employees and suppliers as human beings!”

"It's okay if internal employees earn a lot of money, but if they all earn five to six thousand, is it possible to be honest?"

"I hope the wind is clear and the air is right!"

“Sweatshop wages are low!”

"If I hadn't resigned from BYD, I would have believed you!"

"A model of integrity and integrity that other companies can learn from and refer to!"

"There are always requirements. As for whether they can be implemented, only God knows!"

“Consumers value good products~”

"Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are docks. Where there are docks, there is water. As for the depth of the water, you can figure it out for yourself!"

"A private company doesn't have to do this!"

"In general, it is indeed better than other companies in this regard. It is much better than the automobile factory in the Imperial Capital. Some famous trademark companies in the Imperial Capital have serious problems!"

“There is nothing to be corrupted in the private sector, only nepotism!”

“I really can’t believe that such a lively scene was caused by a stewardess going to the gate of Nanshan Automobile Group to pull a banner!”

……

Various comments have put several companies such as Xingchen Automobile, BYD, and Great Wall on the hot searches.

However, Cao Yang was left speechless.

When I first studied with Warwick, I really didn’t think too much about it.

"Mr. Cao, I think it is necessary to take some new actions. Otherwise, there will be constant discussions on integrity-related topics on the Internet. I feel that it will not be particularly helpful to our model sales and corporate brand building."

Mi Ying collects and organizes the important news of the previous day every day so that Cao Yang can understand the overall situation early in the morning.

However, during this period, they were all the same hot spots, and gradually they lost their appeal.

The Chinese auto market in 2012 is said to be a year of fierce competition.

If you are always attracted by news in this area, the popularity of each model will not be so high.

In a sense, things must be reversed.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Making new moves every now and then to keep various models of Nanshan Automobile Group relatively popular is what Cao Yang has been doing.

Therefore, he naturally had no objection to Mi Ying's statement.

"I see that the Human Resources Department is already counting the school recruitment needs of various departments this year. The relevant results should be out soon. Then we can see if there are any articles that can be written."

"In a few days, the sales volume for the first half of the year should be almost out. There should be a lot to say about making some preparations in this regard."

"If it doesn't work, we can have the sales department direct and act on their own to come up with some hot news to attract everyone's attention."

Mi Ying is now considered a very capable professional.

She has certain experience in handling various matters in business management.

"You are right. Call Liu Youmei and Zeng Tingting over later. I will have a chat with them to see if there is any good plan."

Cao Yang has been busy with Daystar during this period. If some projects are presented in advance, they can also attract attention.

But if Zeng Tingting and Liu Youmei can provide better materials, then there is no need to rush to produce Venus stuff.
