Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 158 I have great ambitions and want many things
After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's impassioned remarks, the leader suddenly slapped the armrest of the sofa, and then laughed: "You are young and energetic, not bad, you should be energetic when you are young, this is what young people should look like!"

After shaking his head, the big leader once again looked at Cao Zhiqiang with admiration and said, "I don't care if you can do it or not, I'm going to be optimistic about you if you have the drive to do it.

Not bad, no wonder you were able to find me through Sha Zhu, I thought you were going to go through the back door through me to find yourself a good job or something.

But I never expected that you are looking for me to do bigger things, which is far more difficult than finding a job. "

"If it's not difficult, I won't come to you." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "If it's just to find a job, it's too easy for me.

To be honest, since I became famous for writing poems, many magazines are now begging me to join, and even the Hongguang Machinery Factory where I am currently begging me to stay.

In order to let me stay, Hongguang Machinery Factory even transferred me out of the workshop and gave me a very leisurely job. They even said that I would become a regular in a few years, and let me be a cadre in a few years. . "

"Oh, that's right." The big leader said with a chuckle, "It's normal for a capable person to shine wherever he goes, everyone will notice it, and everyone wants to keep it in his hands."

"So, great leader." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "If it's just for myself and for me to live a better life, my follower doesn't have to come to beg you."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Actually, I'm not afraid to tell the big leader.

Recently, since I became famous, not only have I met many editors and experts, but I have also met two god-sisters recently, one of which is the father of the god-sister, who is the secretary of the mayor of Chongwen District, Beiping City, and the father of the other god-sister , is the real power leader of the army.

If I want to make a big name and earn a lot of money, I have a lot of ways and a lot of connections.

Among other things, if I want to open a magazine affiliated to a certain unit, it will be easy and easy, as easy as drinking water and eating.

There is also a restaurant. I bought a front-facing house in a good location a long time ago, and invited people from the Peking Design Institute to renovate it. The renovation is almost over now.

Coupled with the addition of Uncle He, my restaurant business will officially open in a short time.

However, I have more ambitions, I have more and bigger ambitions, I am not willing to only open a very profitable magazine, or only open a very profitable small restaurant.

I want to set trends, I want to change the entire publishing world.

I can't understand the many chaotic phenomena in the current cultural world, and I can't understand the scar literature, reflection literature, and miscellaneous literature from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the West that are everywhere.

What I want is something more aggressive.

Either I don’t do it, or if I do it, I will be Lu Xun back then.

No, I'm not only going to be Lu Xun, I'm going to do more than him.

Not only do I want to become famous myself, but I also want to lead a large number of like-minded people to become famous together, and then drive a more positive cultural trend.

I want to launch a new new culture movement, I want both classical and modern, I want to combine classical and modern.

In terms of literary creation, I don't want to be sad about the spring and autumn, and I don't want to reflect on the scarred literature of many mistakes in the past. I want to be more positive, more reflective of reality, and more new literature that seeks innovation and change.

In the field of singing, I am even more demanding for innovation and change, combining classical Peking opera with pop songs, and combining traditional Chinese musical instruments with modern musical instruments to create new star individuals and star groups.

I want the whole world to hear my voice, I want the whole world to see my words, and I want all the people in the world to understand what I think.

I want to be a new generation of youth leaders, and more importantly, a new generation of cultural changers.

Yes, now is the time.

The spring breeze of reform is the best soil for my survival.

I want to take advantage of this spring breeze to completely spread out my youth and talent.

Then, I will use my influence to drive more and more latecomers to play a movement of the new era with me!
To put it bluntly, I have great ambitions, and I want a lot of things, and I am absolutely not reconciled to just being a well-known rich man.

And to do all of this, I can't do it alone. I must have a platform, a platform that is completely under my control and can give full play to my personal influence.

This platform can only be an all-encompassing publishing and distribution platform like a publishing house.

Only if I have a publishing house that is completely under my control and allows me to splash ink at will, can I realize my ambition faster and better!

But to do this, I think about it, only you, the big leader, have this ability.

As long as you say hello to the relevant departments, you will definitely let me have a publishing house that I can decide on my own, and I can display my ambitions and realize my dreams as soon as possible.

So, I'm here, just to beg you. "

After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's long speech, the big leader didn't admire immediately, but frowned, and fell into the long test again.

Following the long exam of the big leader, the scene suddenly quieted down.

Not only the big leader, but even He Yuzhu looked at Cao Zhiqiang in surprise, obviously he didn't expect Cao Zhiqiang to say such a thing.

After a full 3 minutes of silence, the big leader ended the long exam and smiled slightly at Cao Zhiqiang: "Young man, I appreciate your frankness and courage, and of course I also appreciate your ideas and courage.

Not bad, not bad, really good, there are really fewer and fewer young people like you who dare to think and do.

However, what you just said are all your own ideas, or were they taught to you? "

"Of course it's my own idea." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"Oh?" The big leader raised his eyebrows, "I remember your name is Cao Zhiqiang, right? Then I call you Xiao Cao, don't you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly.

The big leader nodded, put down the passbook and receipt in his hand, and sighed: "Xiao Cao, you are so talented, you dare to think and do things, although it looks a little arrogant, but I think it is very good, very good.

Young people should have vigor, dare to think and do, and dare to fight.

Then, it seems that you are not only good at talking.

You can rely on your true ability to make money that ordinary people can't make in a lifetime in just a few months, and as you said, you will make more and more money in the future.

It is very rare that you have the ability to make a lot of money, and you also have the desire to make a lot of money, and you follow the right path and don't engage in crooked ways.

What's even more rare is that after you earn money, you don't think about enjoying yourself, but have greater ambitions, wanting to use the money to do more things and help more people, which I appreciate even more.

However, have you ever thought that writing your own articles to earn manuscript fees and opening a publishing house under your complete control are completely different things.

You earn manuscript fees by writing articles, and you earn all your own. As long as your talent is not exhausted and everyone loves to read what you write, your wealth will continue to flow.

But if you start your own publishing house, or even a chain of restaurants, it will be different.

Whether you open a publishing house or a restaurant, it all involves management skills, which are completely different from your writing articles.

Let’s not talk about opening a restaurant, let me just talk about opening a publishing house.

Although now, privately run publishing houses are not allowed, but now that the reform and opening up is in progress, everything is seeking innovation and change, so it is not impossible to use you as a pilot.

But the question is, what if you screw up?Have you thought about the consequences?

As you said, if you open a private publishing house by yourself, that is a private company model, and you have to pay business tax seriously, and the risks are far beyond those of regular publishing houses.

You finally managed to save 50 yuan. Once you start a publishing house and lose money, don’t you worry about being in vain? "

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Crossing the river by feeling the stones, there must always be pioneers, and someone must go first. Personally speaking, I am very confident that I can run a publishing house well.

Without him, it means that besides being more enthusiastic and aggressive, I also have better talents than others! "

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said directly: "To put it bluntly, my works alone can support a publishing house, and I can beat at least half of the poets and novelists in the country by myself, and I can also be a catfish. Let the entire publishing industry experience a major earthquake and force them to reform!"

"Oh? So powerful?" The big leader smiled, "The tone is not small!"

Cao Zhiqiang said with a serious face: "The tone comes from the strength. I have the strength to dare to say that."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Boss, first of all, although the publishing house is looking at the means of operation, in the final analysis it is still looking at the product.

And what is the product of the publishing house?
Of course it is an excellent work!

As long as my own works sell well, it will soon become a trend and symbol, and become a popular star writer!

If I'm just a writer, even if I become a star writer, the most I can do is make more money.

However, if I, a star writer, were also the boss of a publishing house, it would be different.

At that time, I can self-publish my own work, and I can also change the pricing power of the publishing world.

For example, I can turn the royalty sharing system into a formal payment method for manuscript fees.

Other publishers don't dare, or they don't want to play royalties, I dare.

Once I form the royalties sharing system into a formal method of payment for manuscript fees, and add my own example, it will definitely attract more outstanding authors to join.

If there are more excellent authors, there will be more excellent works.

The more excellent works, the more they sell and the more money they make.

If it is based on the sharing system, once the joining writers earn more money, as a publishing house, they will only earn more money.

To put it bluntly, my method is the so-called small profits but quick turnover, win-win cooperation.

At that time, if other publishers do not follow me and launch the royalty sharing system, they will be eliminated. "

"That makes sense." The big leader nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Secondly, the same principle applies to hotel management.

I plan to cooperate with Uncle He to open a restaurant, but this is not a simple restaurant, but a chef training class.

In other words, Uncle He is not only the chef of the restaurant, but also a culinary teacher, who will teach many apprentices in my restaurant.

When the apprentices are almost ready to teach, I will partner with these apprentices taught by Uncle He and let them go out to open chain stores in a franchise model.

In other words, I don't just want to open a restaurant, but I want to open a chef training school to train more chefs.

I not only want to recruit idle people in society, let people teach them how to cook, let them learn a craft, but also give them licenses, so that they have a place to show their strengths, and they can rely on the skills they have learned. , live a better life.

Specifically, while I train new chefs myself, I openly recruit people who want to start a business in the society.

At that time, after my investigation, I will select a group of people who want to start a business but have no skills, and everyone will work together.

Then, the partner provides their own funds to provide the space, tables, chairs and benches needed to open the store, but the name and sign of the restaurant must be the same as ours, and their decoration style must also pass our inspection to achieve the same style.

That is to say, the partner only needs to provide the venue and other hardware facilities, but the software, that is, chef support, dish support, and advertising support, are all provided by us.

This model, I call the franchise model.

In this way, the chefs we train can work in these franchise stores.

Where is the advantage?The advantage is that all the chefs who go to the franchise store have been trained and learned by us, and the skill level is similar, so the taste of the dishes they make is not much different.

All franchise stores have the same signboard as the main store, with similar decoration, service quality, and food quality, which can form a scale effect, open up the market as soon as possible, build word of mouth, and allow franchisees to make money faster.

At the same time, all franchise stores must accept unified supervision and management, which is more guaranteed than a single restaurant, and will not easily harm consumers such as using waste oil.

Then, these franchise stores, like our main hotel, implement a sharing model. They only need to pay a part of the franchise fee regularly. The franchise fee is definitely not high, and it can be regarded as management fee and support fee.

What's more, franchise stores can use our signboard to buy our secret formula, while non-franchise stores can't use our photos, enjoy our brand support, and buy our secret formula.

Don't underestimate brand support.

Once the form of chain franchise is formed, all stores are a signboard, then we can advertise the restaurant, such as advertising on TV or newspapers and magazines.

In this way, once the advertisement is advertised, all the franchisees of the entire brand will benefit, and there will naturally be more customers and greater profits.

To put it simply, the model of this kind of franchise store is unified, large-scale, standardized, and corporate!
But to realize this model, a simple self-employment is not enough. There are too many restrictions, and the private company model must be used. "

"I understand!" He Yuzhu suddenly said, "You only pay for technology but not money, do business with individual entrepreneurs in partnership, and unite individual entrepreneurs, isn't that right?"

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang looked at He Yuzhu with a smile, "So this model, also known as the chain store model, is like a chain of boats. Everyone works together to make the signboard bigger and the business bigger, and then support each other and manage it in a unified way." , which is much better than opening a single restaurant.”

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "The West has long had this model, such as their McDonald's, KFC and other fast food restaurants, which are basically this model.

I believe it won't be long before they wait and see for a while and find that our determination to reform and opening up is unshakable, those foreign fast food chains will also enter our country and snatch our market.

Therefore, we cannot stop it. We must expand our own brand in advance, compete with foreign fast food after the foreign fast food comes in, and learn the technology of the other party in the competition. Only in this way can we gradually build our own chain restaurant brand .

To do this, traditional state-run restaurants are not enough, because that kind of state-run restaurants are too old-fashioned, too inflexible, and wasteful, and they can't compete with those foreign chain restaurant brands.

If the state-run restaurants can do it, there won’t be so many contracted state-run restaurants now. Isn’t it just that the traditional state-run restaurants are a serious waste? "

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at He Yuzhu: "Uncle He, you have the most say in this aspect. After all, you are the chef and director of the canteen of a state-owned enterprise. I think you must be more aware of the disadvantages than me."

He Yuzhu was taken aback, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but didn't know where to start.

In the end, He Yuzhu just sighed: "Indeed, state-run restaurants have a lot of problems. In terms of waste, management and income, they are indeed not as good as individual contracted restaurants."

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang looked at the big leader: "So, big boss, I hope that while you allow me to start a private publishing house, you also allow me to open a private catering company, not a self-employed person, but a serious company.

I think that allowing private individuals to set up companies is already under discussion, but the policy has not yet been issued.

Just right, I am willing to be the first person to start a company, and I am willing to eat this first crab! "

After the big leader heard this, he smiled slightly: "Comrade Xiao Cao, you have a lot of appetite. You also want to open a publishing house and a chain restaurant. You want to work in two industries at the same time. Do you have the energy?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, my main focus in the future will be on the publishing house, chain restaurants, I just need to formulate the rules and regulations, and then let Uncle He do it.

I had an agreement with Uncle He, and we decided to do business together.

In the future, Uncle He will mainly be in charge of the restaurant. He only needs to follow the rules and regulations I gave, teach the apprentices there, cook his dishes well, and take care of the affairs of the restaurant.

Anyway, the catering industry is actually very simple. As long as the dishes are good, the price is right, and the signboard is loud, it is actually not that complicated. Uncle He can take care of it himself.

Of course, I will also select other franchisees in detail, and will not find those who are not qualified to join.

In other words, the catering industry does not need to invest too much energy. It only needs to make good regulations from the beginning, and they will follow the regulations in the future. I will check occasionally, and there will be no major mistakes.

As a manager, you can't do everything yourself, right?
On the contrary, I have the talent to write articles, so in the days to come, I will devote my main energy to the publishing house.

Specifically, I will publish a lot of best-selling books, continue to build my own popularity, and then use this to make a lot of money.

When I become famous and make money, everyone knows that I make money by writing books, and that I have a publishing house under my name. In this publishing house, the manuscript fee can be divided according to the royalties, then there will definitely be a lot of money. authors to contribute.

We only need to select the best from the best, choose those authors who have written excellent works, and cooperate with them, then it will become bigger and stronger.

In this way, we can force other publishers to stop being complacent and start implementing the royalty sharing system. Otherwise, they will not be able to retain excellent authors and produce good works.

The reason why I want to open a publishing house is because I have great ambitions.

Not only do I want to publish books, I also want to publish magazines, and even audio-visual products such as audio tapes and video tapes.

Not only do I want to make every writer popular, I also want to make every singer popular.

In other words, I want to learn from the West, build a domestic art and entertainment company in advance, and then make our own original articles and original music.

Great leader, the music in our mainland can't stop the popular music from the West, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

These things cannot be restrained by prohibition. They can only be properly introduced, and then learn from them and surpass them.

Xiaosheng is not talented, but he thinks that he is outstanding in music creation, instrument performance and singing.

If I were to lead the original trend of pop songs in China, I would definitely be able to fight against the pop music in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even go abroad, go to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan and the United States to use our music to earn their foreign exchange .

Believe me, great leader, I can do this, and only I can do it. "
