"Sister Huang, according to what you say, is there anyone Qu Tao can trust?"

Qin Hai asked Huang Yanling with a helpless expression.

Embarrassed, Huang Yanling said, "Of course, at least, Liu Shuo, me, and Yongbo, we are absolutely fine, I can swear to God."

"That's right, I can also swear to God, if I have the behavior of eating inside and outside, let me..." Ming Yongbo also raised his hands with a pale face, ready to make a vicious oath.

"What are you doing!" Before Qin Hai could say anything, Liu Shuo was already annoyed, "Don't you think it's shameful enough! If you want to swear, Wang Peichao and the others have also sworn. If we share weal and woe, what will be the result? If swearing is useful, why do we need the police!"

"..." Qin Hai was almost choked by Liu Shuo's words. Could it be that this man is also a time traveler, and he actually knows such a fashionable saying. However, what Liu Shuo said is exactly what Qin Hai wanted to say. To be a company, you can't just rely on everyone to swear. If you want to keep the company away from moral hazards, you still need to use the system to guarantee it.

"Brother Liu is right. We can't rely on swearing when we run a business. After all, we are running a modern company, not a gangster." Qin Hai said, "When we first established the Brothers Ceramics Factory, we didn't establish a Perfect management system, Wang Peichao and the others took advantage of this management loophole to steal the core secrets of the company unscrupulously and fill their pockets. We want to take advantage of this to grasp the work of establishing a modern enterprise system, including Several aspects must be done..."

"Mr. Qin, wait a minute. I'll find a note." Hearing Qin Hai's serious words, Huang Yanling hurriedly got up to find a pen and paper. After finding it, she gestured to Qin Hai and said, "Mr. Qin, what are you talking about?" Well, I'll write it down and implement it one by one."

Qin Hai nodded and said: "First, to change the characteristics of the family business of Quwu Ceramics Company, the original 20 shareholders of Brother Ceramics Factory should rearrange their positions according to their respective abilities and loyalty to the company. They must not be allowed to occupy important positions because of emotional factors. Doing so will not only lead to operational risks, but also block the channels for talent promotion and affect the morale of the company.”

"That's right." Liu Shuo nodded his head desperately, and said, "We in Qutao already have such a problem now. It turns out that the 20 people from Brother Ceramics Factory came here, plus the original Quwu Ceramics Factory No. 1 and No. 2 Factory. Cadres, all positions are filled to the brim, and there is no place for the talents we recruit.

It is very unreasonable for a person like Wang Peichao to be the deputy director of the production department, while the heads of several departments below the production department are all more capable than him, and they should be inferior to him. In fact, Wang Peichao showed dissent very early on, but because he is a little brother who grew up with us, I have never been wary of him. This is the main reason for the current problem. "

Qin Haidao: "Out of the 20 of you, except Wang Peichao and the others, the rest of the people need to be readjusted. It is not necessary for everyone to stay in management positions. Some people only need to get dividends from the shares. It is not necessary. What other important positions do you think?"

"Agreed." Huang Yanling and Ming Yongbo nodded in agreement. What Qin Hai said was "some people", it didn't mean that all 20 of them had to be adjusted, at least the three of them who were present could still stay, because their ability and loyalty could be trusted.

Qin Hai continued: "Secondly, all employees in important positions must sign confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements, and they are not allowed to engage in the same business as the company during their tenure and two years after leaving..."

"Non-compete agreement? How do you sign this thing?" Liu Shuo asked in surprise.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, it's time for you to learn some business management knowledge." Qin Hai sighed, and briefly explained to Liu Shuo and others what he knew about non-competition. He also didn't know about some things. , I can only say a general meaning, but Liu Shuo and the others deal with people in the company all day long, and they can draw inferences about what Qin Hai said, and they immediately understand the value of this agreement.

"If we had come up with such an agreement earlier, we could sue Wang Peichao now." Ming Yongbo said with emotion.

"Now we can also sue him. Mayor Mo has already issued an order to the police. Wang Peichao dared to enter Quwu City, so the police arrested him." Liu Shuo said.

Xiao Dongping interjected: "Mr. Liu, you haven't figured out the problem. Why should we arrest Wang Peichao? To put it bluntly, he just took advantage of Qu Tao's management loopholes. Let's say he stole Qu Tao's technical secrets, but What about the evidence? There are no patents for these technologies. If we can use them, so can others. We didn’t keep the secrets. Who are we to blame? Mayor Mo asked the police to arrest Wang Peichao. It's also against the law for the mayor to do that."

"Is that so?" Liu Shuo was a little confused, and turned to look at Qin Hai, hoping to get confirmation from him.

Qin Hai nodded, and said: "I also felt that this matter was unreliable just now, and I also felt that it was true after listening to what Minister Xiao said. Mayor Mo said that Wang Peichao should be arrested. What is the reason?"

"So, we have nothing to do with Wang Peichao?" Huang Yanling asked with some doubts.

"This matter is a little troublesome." Qin Hai also scratched his head a little. He recalled the methods of protecting technical secrets of later generations of enterprises, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was really no way to hold Wang Peichao accountable. If the reconnaissance force of a powerful agency can be used to obtain evidence that Wang Peichao stole technical secrets from Qu Tao, then he can naturally be brought to justice for this crime. But it is obviously impossible for the powerful department to stand up for such a small matter among enterprises. In this way, it would be a waste of effort to rely on Qu Tao's own strength to find evidence. There is no evidence, and Wang Peichao has not signed a non-compete agreement with Qu Tao. It is really difficult for Qu Tao to do anything about Wang Peichao.

"Let's put this matter aside." Qin Hai said, "In order to avoid leaks from happening again, we need to take some protective measures. For example, the core technical links must strictly control the entry and exit of personnel, and any technical information must not be taken out of the confidentiality It is very important to ensure that neither a piece of paper nor a floppy disk can leave the scope of secrecy.”

"I'll make arrangements right away," Huang Yanling agreed. She knows very well that Qu Tao's measures in these areas are indeed too weak. Because she over-trusts the loyalty and self-consciousness of the personnel in each link, there are no strict regulations on data management. It is very common for technicians to take core technical materials home to study, and even the company once praised such behavior, thinking it is a manifestation of selfless work. Thinking about it now, if these technicians make a copy of the data and provide it to competitors, or even accidentally leave it outside and be picked up by competitors, it will cause great damage to the company.

"So, what should we do about the ceramic turning tool?" Ming Yongbo asked, "Our company still hopes to rely on this product to make a comeback next year. Now that confidentiality measures have not been established, we dare not share the technology Putting it into production, if it is delayed any longer, it may be taken by other companies."

"Ceramic turning tool?" Qin Hai pondered deeply.

The things that should be explained have been explained, and it is time to deal with the urgent affairs of the moment. The production of ceramic turning tools is undoubtedly an important matter. Qin Hai himself participated in the process of developing ceramic turning tools and has a full understanding of the technical level of this product. It is no exaggeration to say that if this kind of turning tool is put on the market, it will cause a revolution in metal cutting tools. It will take two to three years for competitors to imitate the same turning tool. It is enough for Qutao to earn hundreds of millions of profits and create a good brand image.

However, if there is an inner ghost inside Qutao, who leaks out the secrets of the core technology of the turning tool, then the opponent can easily imitate products of the same quality. If this competitor has something to do with an international ceramics giant like Kusela, it may even stand on the basis of Qutao's existing technology and launch better products than Qutao, which will make Qutao lose the wind instead.

Wang Peichao has worked in Qutao for many years and has many friends. Who knows who will fall to Wang Peichao's side under the temptation of interests? There are many links involved in product production, and some people are involved in each link. It is very difficult to fully screen these people.

Is this a deadlock?

Seeing Qin Hai's brows furrowed tightly, Liu Shuo and others didn't dare to say anything, for fear of disturbing Qin Hai's thinking. Xiao Dongping sat by the side, looked at it for a while, and reminded in a low voice: "Xiao Qin, actually, I don't think it's difficult, right? Do you remember our Qingfeng Factory's cooperation in auto parts in Beixi in the past? Our How to do it at the time, and do it now, isn’t it all right?”

auto parts?

Qin Hai felt his eyes light up, and a thought flashed out.

At that time, Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory took over the processing tasks of dozens of auto parts from Pusang Localization Office, but it did not have such a strong production capacity. Therefore, Qingfeng Factory subcontracted the production of these accessories to dozens of enterprises in Beixi City, and only retained the last and most critical technical link. Since other companies do not have the core technology, they cannot bypass the Qingfeng factory and directly contact the localization office, which ensures the high profits of the Qingfeng factory in this cooperation.

Xiao Dongping's suggestion was nothing more than asking Qin Hai to bring up the key links in the production of ceramic turning tools and put them in other places other than Qutao to complete them. It is impossible to grasp the core technology.

However, Qin Hai thought of far more than this. (My novel "Material Empire" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
