Chapter 306 General Election

If it weren't for the joint-stock company system of later generations as a reference, it would be really troublesome to settle the differences between such a large group of shareholders. After the rights and interests of shareholders are clearly stipulated in the management system, many seemingly complicated disputes will arise.

This provides the basis for judging whether it is feasible or not. The details of the company system formulated by Schneider are beyond the reach of the Ming Dynasty businessmen of this era. They found that all the situations they could imagine seemed to be possible here.

The relevant regulations and solutions were found in the set of systems. Even a few merchants who initially had a sense of superiority began to have doubts about the development prospects of "Qiong Lianfa" after realizing that the management level of Haihan people was much higher than theirs.

There are more expectations.

For Ming businessmen in this era, there are only two reference standards for judging the operating level of their peers, one is profitability and the other is management methods. No one can question the profitability demonstrated by Chuanchuan Group, even in the entire Guangdong

The largest companies dare not say that they can do better than Haihan people. As for the management methods of Haihan people, perhaps they were not well known before, but after seeing the company system of "Qiong Lianfa",

Everyone is also aware of the gap in management level between themselves and the Haihan people - if they can scale their business to such a large scale within a year, they can't just rely on selling a few rare gadgets.

of.

It was after the business capabilities were recognized by the partners that the preparatory work of "Qiong Lianfa" was successfully concluded. The initialing of the cooperation agreement was just a symbol of the end of the work. There are still many matters that "Qiong Lianfa" needs to do next.

The organizing committee will handle it one by one. The most urgent task is to determine the opening process of "Qiong Lianfa".

According to the opinions of shareholders, such big news as the establishment of "Qiong Lianfa" naturally needs to be publicized and hyped in Guangzhou, striving to become an instant success. But Schneider wants to hold the establishment ceremony in Shengli Port

held because the executive committee also asked him to find a reason to arrange an inspection trip to Victory Port for the main partners of the Cross-Train Group in the mainland during the anniversary celebration.

Of course, the inspection is just an excuse. The main purpose of the executive committee is to take the opportunity of the anniversary of Time Travel to show its muscles to future partners at close range, so that they can have more confidence in the Time Travel Group.

According to the executive committee’s plan, there will be a series of celebrations at the end of March and early April, including large scenes such as naval and land military parades and live-fire exercises. In addition to business partners like Guangzhou, the executive committee also plans to invite Ya

Representatives of some officials from the state attended, and even the North Vietnamese side has contacted through the radio, asking Qian Tien Don to send a visit invitation to Zheng on behalf of the executive committee. Although Thang Long has not responded yet, based on the recent closeness between the two sides

Judging from the cooperation situation, Zheng will not refuse this friendly invitation. Even if things go wrong, he will send a delegation to visit Victory Port and talk about the details of this year's arms sales plan to Vietnam.

The more guests that can be invited and the higher the level, the better the publicity effect of this anniversary celebration will be. It is not difficult to imagine what it will be like for Yazhou officials who have been defeated by the money offensive to see a huge investment team from the mainland.

If the shareholders of "Qiong Lianfa" can see Yazhou officials attending the activities of the Crossing Group, they will be more convinced of the influence of "Qiong Lianfa" in the local area. As for those from North Vietnam

Representatives, I believe they will realize that the Cross-Travel Group not only has huge advantages in the military field, but also has political and business strengths that cannot be underestimated.

It is precisely because of such planning considerations that the invitation to guests from all walks of life has become a task with political purposes. For this reason, the Executive Committee has notified the Ministry of Shipping to free up the sailing schedule of two catamaran sailing ships in advance.

Come out so that you can go to the Pearl River Estuary to pick up these guests and go south if necessary.

On March 15, a sailing ship under the name of the Ministry of Shipping arrived at the Pearl River Pier. Maliko and Cai Jinmei, who were sent by the Executive Committee to take over Schneider's work, came on the same ship and began an intense work handover with Schneider. On March 20,

Tao Donglai concluded his half-month inspection tour of the General Office of the People's Republic of China and headed south by boat back to Victory Port with Schneider.

At this time, various preparations for the anniversary celebration of Victory Port have also entered the final countdown state. In addition to a large number of gift projects prepared by various units, what is more important is the adjustment of department structure and staffing for this anniversary celebration.

.

According to the decision of the first plenary meeting before the crossing, the interim executive committee formed directly by the crossing operation preparatory committee has a term of only one year. At that time, the first executive committee after the crossing will be reorganized, and at the same time some parts that need to be adjusted will be reorganized.

Institutions and units are rearranged. For example, the current military police department, which has a lot of eyebrows and beards, will split the police department and merge it into the soon-to-be-established Ministry of Justice, and the military will be split from the original amphibious system into the army and the

The two independent departments of the Navy will also establish supporting departments such as the Political Department, Equipment Department, and Logistics Department to further improve the management organization of military forces.

For the existing nine executive committee members, it is not certain whether they can continue to serve. All members will elect the new nine executive committee members through secret ballots.

Except for Tao Donglai, who has been awarded the honor of being a lifelong member of the executive committee, several other executive committee members are actually likely to lose in this election.

In addition to the administrative duties of the executive committee, the executive committee members basically also serve as leaders in various industries. Talents like Tao Donglai, who are multi-talented, even serve in the military, police, construction, business, civil affairs, etc.

The executive committee members have important responsibilities for multiple departments. In fact, they still have certain inherent advantages in this election. After all, they have many opportunities to stand out and it is easy to become familiar with them.

Regarding the matter of running for the Executive Committee, according to the original regulations, participation is voluntary. As long as you are nominated by five members, you can be qualified to run. The registration period starts in early March, and the deadline is in March.

25th. The voting period begins on March 25th and ends on April 1st. After the votes are counted on that day, the list of elected persons will be announced on April 2nd.

Since only those who are over 16 years old are eligible to vote, the voting base for this election is too small. In order to prevent some current executive committee members from being re-elected with a large number of votes, and the subsequent elected candidates with too few votes, resulting in an unsightly scene,

Each traveler can fill in three candidates in order with the ballot paper in their hands. If there are duplicates on the ballot, only one vote will be counted. The Heitu Port and the Guangdong Office in other places chose to vote ten days in advance due to distance reasons, and the deadline is March.

On the 20th, the sealed ballots were then sent back to Port Victory by ship.

For this kind of election activity, the enthusiasm of the public to participate is still relatively high. The vast majority of people have filled out their ballots before the voting period begins and are waiting for the executive committee to put out the open ballot boxes. However, due to the limitations of objective conditions

, everyone is busy preparing for various activities for the anniversary. The new candidates and the current executive committee members cannot expect any public canvassing activities. At most, they can only take the time to connect in private.

.This election process is more about competing for the connections and reputation accumulated during this year.

So far, there are three dark horses among the newcomers who have signed up for the election, namely Ren Liang, Yue Zhiyun and Zhou Hengxing. These three people are all young representatives who have been favored by the executive committee after time travel, and they have quite a lot of people behind them.

number of potential supporters.

Not long after Ren Liang traveled through time, he began to make a name for himself in the management of labor camps. Later, he became famous for proposing the "Labor Management System" and then completed a rare cross-industry transfer within the time travel group, from the Military and Police Department to the Enforcement Department.

The Shengli Port Management Committee, the administrative unit of the committee, serves as the director. At present, the development of Shengli Port is in full swing, the new integrated passenger and cargo terminal has been basically completed, and the construction of the business district is also extremely smooth. This situation is consistent with Ren Liang

Excellent performance in this position is naturally inseparable. The executive committee also highly recognizes his work ability. According to some unknown gossip, Ren Liang is very likely to be transferred again during this organizational adjustment—

—Based on his current work performance, the transfer at this time should not be a flat transfer, but a preparation for another promotion.

The votes that Ren Liang supported behind him mainly came from the Military and Police Department where he once served, the Port District Management Committee where he currently serves, and some loose votes from personal relationships. According to some good people on the forum,

It is estimated that Ren Liang's vote bank is conservatively estimated to be more than 100 votes, and there is still a certain possibility of being elected.

Yue Zhiyun, who is currently the Minister of Shipping, has a much higher starting point than Ren Liang. As one of the few shipping professionals in the group, Yue Zhiyun and his partner Sun Changmi have been influenced by the project since the beginning.

The executive committee has been reused. The entire organizational structure of the Ministry of Shipping is basically built around him and Sun Changmi. Now all matters related to shipping are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Shipping. Even the navy that is about to be established has

A considerable part of the resources depends on the support of the Ministry of Shipping.

The Shipping Department is a unique dual-director configuration in the entire Chuanchuan Group. Sun Changmi, who is a professional in navigation technology, is mainly responsible for shipbuilding and seaman training, while Yue Zhiyun, who is a marine electrical engineer, is more inclined to administrative work.

The pursuit of politics was more intense, so Yue Zhiyun was elected as a candidate for the Ministry of Shipping to participate in this election.

In terms of responsibilities and authority, the leadership position of the Shipping Department is no less important than any other department. It can even be regarded as one of the lifeblood of the entire crossing group. Yue Zhiyun serves in such an important position. It can be said that he has the qualifications.

With a certain competitive advantage, when the executive committee holds meetings, Yue Zhiyun often attends the meeting as the head of an important department. Although he does not have the name of an executive committee, he is actually acting as an executive committee. But Yue Zhiyun also has

An obvious shortcoming is that he held too few jobs in the year after time travel. He was just a director of the shipping department, which was not enough to reflect his personal work ability and political attitude. The votes behind him are basically

The Ministry of Shipping is the main body, and there are also a few friendly tickets from the military and police departments and foreign trade and commerce departments of friendly units. The source of tickets is relatively stable.

Zhou Hengxing is also one of the young talents that the Executive Committee has always valued. Shortly after crossing, he was appointed as the head of Lemiao affairs in the civil affairs department because of his work experience and outstanding performance. He formulated ethnic policies for the crossing group and controlled the Lebanese and Miao people near Victory Port.

Miao Village has laid a good foundation. When Heitu Port was developed, Zhou Hengxing was appointed as the local civil affairs official. Now that Gu Kai's term has expired, he has recently returned to Shengli Port to start the preparatory work for the Ministry of Justice. The vacated

For the position of Chief Administrator of Black Earth Port, the successor will definitely be selected from several key local managers.

It is definitely impossible for Qian Tiandun, who is in charge of the military, to take over this position. His focus is entirely on the military. Becoming a famous general is his life goal. Moreover, the Military and Police Department will never let him, a capable general, go into politics.

This is the way. Although Xie Chun, who is in charge of shipping affairs, is not bad in ability, he is relatively irritable and restless in character. At least at this stage, it is difficult for him to be further reused by the executive committee. As for Tian Yeyou, who is in charge of mining development,

They are not interested in politics at all, and have no intention of pursuing an official career. Whether it is these people or the former director of Heitu Port, Gu Kai, the recommended successor is Zhou Hengxing. It is basically a done deal, and he is just waiting to be replaced by the executive committee.

The process of appointment letter is over.

In the Black Tu Port of North Vietnam, including the Tushan stronghold, Zhou Hengxing's name will basically appear on the votes of these expatriates. And because Zhou Hengxing provided a lot of support for Qian Tiandun's military training plan in the Black Tu Port, he has always stood by the military.

On Fang's side, Qian Tiandun has also made it clear that he will support Zhou Hengxing's election - after all, if Zhou Hengxing can squeeze into the executive committee, it will be almost equivalent to the military having one more supporter in the executive committee. Consider this.

For this reason, the support Zhou Hengxing can get from the Military and Police Department will not be any less than that of the other two candidates.

Judging from the situation of these three candidates, they are all young and capable generals, and they are all likely to get the support of the Military and Police Department, a large voting base. As the largest group in the crossing group, the Military and Police Department is the third on the ballot.

The first pick will definitely be reserved for Yan Chujie, and the remaining two picks will most likely be chosen among these three people. After all, these three people have close ties with the Military and Police Department, and even Ren Liang

At present, half of the personnel ownership belongs to the Military and Police Department. No matter who among them takes the position, their attitude towards the Military and Police Department will definitely be better than that of other civilian executive committee members.

In order to prevent military personnel from interfering in politics and even leading to the emergence of a military government, there was a special provision in the Executive Committee charter that stated that no more than two official military personnel could serve on the Executive Committee at the same time, in order to prevent the Executive Committee from

In some special circumstances, decision-making voting is influenced by military forces - the minimum number of voters on the executive committee is five, so that civilian officials can at least have a decision-making advantage on the ballot.

Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie occupied these two pits. Therefore, the military did not propose its own candidates for this election. The only one who had a close relationship with the Military and Police Department, Ren Liang and Yan Chujie, also made their decision in advance.

Statement: Ren Liang’s current position is not under the jurisdiction of the Military and Police Department, so he cannot be considered a military personnel candidate.

Of course, Yan Chujie's statement is not to draw a clear line between him and Ren Liang, but to clear policy obstacles for his candidacy. In this way, if Ren Liang is elected, he will be a non-military person who stands with the military.

Compared with Ren Liang and Zhou Hengxing, who have clearly expressed their support from the military, Yue Zhiyun is at a greater disadvantage. Although he can get some of the military's friendship votes due to the preparatory work of the Navy Department, he certainly cannot follow them.

Comparing the two who have already taken sides, whether the final vote count can beat the other current executive committee members depends on their personal fortune.

Since Tao Donglai has the special treatment of a lifelong executive committee member, he will not need to participate in this election. The eight temporary executive committee members plus three newcomers are basically a pattern of eleven candidates competing for eight executive committee seats. In the end,

The eight people with the most votes will be elected. According to the previous executive committee charter, the person elected this time will have a four-year term, which will be much longer than the interim executive committee president elected for the first time.

The main source of votes for the current eight executive committee members basically comes from the departments they serve. For example, the votes for the Ministry of Industry are basically destined to Bai Kesi, while the votes for the Ministry of Agriculture will all belong to the respected Mr. Yuan.

Most of the votes from the civil affairs, education, logistics and other departments will go to Ningqi, while those from the finance and commerce departments will target Schneider.

Judging from this trend, some yamen in charge of executive committee members are too small in scale and will obviously suffer from the distribution of votes. For example, the diplomatic and legal departments in charge of Gu Kai are basically empty shelves, plus he and Dayang

There are only a dozen or so people in Ma's girlfriend. Meng He from the Ministry of Information Industry is even worse. Although the number of his subordinates is similar to that of Gu Kai, most of them hold multiple positions. It's really hard to say where the votes will go. It's worth it.

One thing to mention is that Zhou Hengxing, who participated in the election this time, was originally affiliated with the Ministry of Information Industry, but was later seconded to the Civil Affairs Department. If Zhou Hengxing succeeds in this counterattack, it can be regarded as a successful example of defeating the superior.

The succession of Bai Kesi, Ning Qi, Yan Chujie and others who are good friends with Tao Donglai is almost certain. Not only will they have the support of their own departments, but the Ministry of Construction, which Tao Donglai is in charge of, will definitely have no candidates of its own.

There will also be a considerable amount of friendship votes flowing to the names of these people.

On the day when the voting started, Tao Donglai and Schneider returned to Shengli Port with the ballot papers from the Guangdong Office and participated in the voting. The ballot papers from Heitu Port and the Guangdong Office had been brought back to Shengli Port by Gu Kai the day before.

The Executive Committee has set up voting boxes in Shengli Port and Tiandu, and the entire voting process is open to local naturalized residents. Although naturalized residents do not yet have the right to vote, the Executive Committee believes in this "democratic approach".

"Enlightenment" still needs to be started early so that the naturalized people know how the executive committee to which they are loyal is organized.
