As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 108 Merge Upgrade
Seawater rice, which can adapt to most of China's saline-alkali land, is of great significance.

However, after all this time without being able to break through the 0.6% salt content, the sudden appearance of rice seeds that could produce high yields in saline-alkali land with a 3% salt content made Chen Jingrui full of doubts.

As the vice president of China Seed Group, he has been feeling a strange feeling in his heart recently.

Major state-owned enterprises will move out of Yanjing to alleviate the congestion in the capital.

China Seed Group is naturally no exception. State-owned enterprises like theirs can be said to be marginal state-owned enterprises. Logically, they should be in the first or second batch to relocate.

If you move early, you can choose the location, but later you may only be assigned a relocation location.

Therefore, China Seed Group selected Hainan as its relocation site. This decision was approved by the board of directors and also obtained the approval of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

As a result, they were suddenly stopped just before the move. Chen Jingrui thought that the chairman had done some work in the department, so he could stay in Yanjing.

As long as state-owned enterprises can stay in the capital, they will never want to move to other counties or cities, even Xiongan.

Back then, Longfor Properties in Shancheng had two headquarters, one in Shancheng and the other in Yanjing. But why did the leaders work in Yanjing most of the time? What does "running to the department to get money" mean?
If you understand the logic behind this, you will know why the new district near Yanjing cannot be built.

Chen Jingrui was somewhat happy that the group no longer had to move to faraway Hainan, thinking that less trouble was better.

Then there was a major personnel reshuffle within the group. Basically, all the middle-level managers were replaced. Now when the lower-level middle-level managers come to him for signature, there is not a single familiar face left.

You have to know that Chen Jingrui has worked in China Seed Group for more than ten years. Even if he is not very familiar with every middle-level manager, he can at least call out their names.

Now he couldn't even say his name.

Many of the company's scientific research projects have also been suspended. Although the research institute under the China Seed Group is not well-known, it has three academicians.

Many scientific research projects have been suspended these days. Originally, the research institute under the China Seed Group was mainly responsible for seed research and development.

As a result, seed research and development projects have been suspended. Most of the seed research and development projects such as rice, corn, wheat, and vegetables have been suspended.

Only some projects studying the negative effects of GM seeds, such as pesticide resistance and genetic pollution, are still ongoing.

What made Chen Jingrui even more confused was that the chairman of the board was also replaced.

"Mr. Liu, welcome to China Seed Group. I learned a lot every time you came down to hold a meeting with us." Chen Jingrui was unusually polite.

China Seed Group is a second-level company under China Chemical Import & Export Group.

It is equivalent to China National Chemical Import & Export Group being a first-level central enterprise, and China National Seed Group being a second-level central enterprise.

As a result, the general manager of a first-tier central enterprise was transferred down to serve as the general manager of China Seed Group. Chen Jingrui was very polite on the surface.

After he returned to his office, he was full of speculation: "Did Mr. Liu lose the internal struggle and be marginalized by the chairman?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Even if he is marginalized at this level, he can't be transferred to a second-tier company to be the general manager. At most, he can be transferred to be the chairman of the labor union."

"A person can be marginalized, but his rank cannot be demoted, right?"

Generally, state-owned enterprises will not demote people, especially first-tier central enterprises. The general manager of a first-tier central enterprise will at most be transferred horizontally and may not have real power.

Asking the general manager to be the union chairman is the biggest marginalization. When the new chairman of a certain state-owned securities company took office, the former chairman became an expert consultant. He has no real power but the treatment remains the same.

Those with truly wide connections can be transferred from general manager of a central enterprise to become governor of a local area, or governor of a core province.

"The problem is that he came to the Seed Group as a full-time general manager and chairman, not a concurrent position." "This matter is completely inconsistent with the correct procedures and is completely illegal."

After Chen Jingrui returned home, he didn't even bother to eat. He went back to his study to review his thoughts carefully.

"What's wrong? Let's eat first!" asked his wife.

Chen Jingrui waved his hand: "It's something important, I need to go to the study and think about it carefully."

You need to stay calm when encountering big things. This is Chen Jingrui's consistent rule of doing things. The bigger the event, the less anxious you should be and the calmer you should be.

"When the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee came to announce the appointment just now, General Manager Liu had a blank expression on his face, but from my observation, at least he did not look hopeless because of a failed struggle."

"I can even feel the fire in his eyes. It's not easy to see fire in the eyes of a man in his sixties."

“It’s fighting spirit.”

“First, the relocation was stopped, and then the middle management was replaced.”

"Then, the sea rice seeds were suddenly sent over by the Agricultural Science Institute. And today, the chairman of the board of directors was suddenly replaced, and the replacement was a higher-level leader."

After Chen Jingrui made a timetable for these things, he realized that sea rice seeds were the key.

"After the research and development of sea rice seeds reaches a certain level, China Seed Group will take on the task of promoting sea rice, and then a major change will take place."

"But it's still very contradictory. Unless China Seed Group is upgraded to a first-tier central enterprise, it's impossible for Mr. Liu to come down and become the general manager."

“Can a first-tier central enterprise be supported by sea rice seeds alone?”

It is extremely difficult for a second-tier subsidiary state-owned enterprise to become a first-tier state-owned enterprise. Without extraordinary abilities, it is impossible to push forward such a task.

Moreover, if a second-tier subsidiary of a central enterprise wants to become a first-tier central enterprise, it is highly likely that many second-tier subsidiaries of different central enterprises will be separated from their first-tier central enterprises and merged into a first-tier central enterprise.

A second-tier subsidiary directly became a first-tier central enterprise. As far as Chen Jingrui could remember, such a thing had never happened in China.

Chen Jingrui thought he had finally sorted out his logic. He originally wanted to use his connections to find out if there were any other central enterprises that wanted to divest their second-tier subsidiaries, but then he changed his mind and decided not to do so since it involved his own company.

"Second-level central enterprises should be enough to promote sea rice. Why do we need first-level central enterprises?"

"Or does it mean that Chemical Import and Export will be split into two companies, with the other one being mainly the China Seed Group?"

"Either way, this is a great opportunity for me."

The deputy general manager of a second-tier central enterprise is not the same as the deputy general manager of a first-tier central enterprise. The deputy general manager of a first-tier central enterprise is one level higher than the general manager of a second-tier central enterprise.

Chen Jingrui never expected that there would be a day when his fortunes would rise.

Therefore, he repeatedly reminded himself in his heart that he must not make any mistakes at this time.

Whether state-owned enterprises merge or upgrade, there are huge benefits, and Chen Jingrui does not want to lose a step at this time.

Chen Jingrui's judgment was correct. Not long after, the financial sector of the Chemical Import and Export Company was completely separated and merged with the China Seed Group Corporation.

China Seed Group Corporation became a first-tier central enterprise.
