Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 192 Lao Tzu's business has just started, and stability must override everything else

Although Cao Zhiqiang didn't like most of the performances, and thought they were too old-fashioned and old-fashioned, they were mainly aimed at those singing and dancing shows, especially Peking operas that were incomprehensible.

He still likes some acrobatic and juggling shows.

For example, Cao Zhiqiang watched the monkey show that was being performed on the stage with great interest.

But at this moment, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly felt his right arm being pulled.

Turning around to look, it was Zhou Huai'en, President Zhou who was at the same table as him.

President Zhou Huai'en was wearing a peaked cap, a pipe in his hand, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked like a cultural person.

Of course, even though he is the president, that was said to the outside world.

In fact, he is a mascot, similar to the President of India.

On the contrary, Cao Zhiqiang, the vice president and general manager, is the real helm of this publishing house.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang signed the contract with Hongguang Machinery Factory in his own name. In theory, it is no different from the current contracting system.

Since it is a contracted operation, of course the contractor has the final say.

Although this President Zhou is a mascot, if he has no power at all, that's not true.

At least, if he concentrates on doing bad things, he can still disgust people.

In view of this, Cao Zhiqiang, at least on the surface, still respects the president, and he deserves a lot of treatment, as long as he doesn't mind things.

Well, in fact, at present, the publishing house is really not a big deal.

If there is something to do, it is the cleaning and remodeling of the office building before, but how can the president and other six mascots do such rough and tiring work?

That's right, the work of renovating and cleaning the office building and the yard before was done by newcomers. Zhou Huai'en, Sister Niu and other six veterans from the government did not actually participate.

However, they don't show up when working hard, but they must show up at this kind of opening ceremony.

Anyway, in terms of status, the six mascots are also employees of the publishing house. It would be inappropriate if they don't appear on such an important occasion as the opening ceremony, not to mention there are free shows and free food and drink.

If you eat, play and take, you are a fool if you don't come.

Of course, that's all. Don't even want the real power of the publishing house.

A mascot must have the consciousness of a mascot.

In view of this, and there are so many important people attending the ceremony this time, Cao Zhiqiang usually has no time to talk to those mascots.

But at this moment, the President Zhou suddenly took the initiative to pull himself, which is a bit interesting.

Although he looked down on him in his heart, on the surface, Cao Zhiqiang still respected him very much.

Ever since, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said to Zhou Huai'en beside him in a low voice: "President Zhou? Do you have something to do?"

Zhou Huai'en nodded with a smile on his pipe: "Xiao Cao, you did a good job at the opening ceremony."

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then he could only continue to smile and said, "It's all thanks to Editor Yu."

"Humility, it's too modest." Zhou Huai'en shook his head with a smile, "I know that boy Yu Deli, with his ability, he can't do this. Especially Director Chen of the Publishing Bureau is not something he can hire. It seems that Xiao Cao, your background is very deep."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled and pretended to be profound without saying a word.

What can he say?Could it be that he didn't know that Director Chen of the Publishing Bureau was coming, and he only found out later?
But it is not unreasonable to say that I have a deep background.

After all, there are two big Buddhas, Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang, behind him. As far as the current capital is concerned, they can indeed be regarded as having a deep background.

Seeing that the other party was still flirting with him, Cao Zhiqiang gradually lost his patience, and simply said: "Well, President Zhou, you should speak directly if you have something to say, you are not an outsider."

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Zhou Huai'en took a puff of his pipe with a smile on his face, and then slowly blew out a smoke ring. Under Cao Zhiqiang's frown, he said slowly, "Xiao Cao, don't be nervous, I have no intention of seizing power with you. , don't be nervous, hahaha."

Hearing what he said, Cao Zhiqiang frowned again.

However, Cao Zhiqiang frowned, not because the other party said a joke about seizing power, but because the other party smoked in front of him, which made him very disliked.

It is true that he was a smoker in his previous life, but Cao Zhiqiang, who has traveled through time, pays great attention to his personal health. He has never smoked, and he does not like others to smoke in front of him.

He hates the dangers of second-hand smoke.

It's just that on this occasion, he was embarrassed to have an attack.

As for never worrying about the other party seizing power, thinking that the other party said that as a joke... The reason is very simple, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and they are completely unequal.

You know, Zhou Huai'en's position as the president is just a false one. It's Secretary Dong's move to take care of the elderly and block the mouths of outsiders.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang is too young, only 19 years old, no matter how talented he is, he is a famous poet, but at this age and qualifications, he has become the president of a publishing house, which has never happened before in the whole country.

Moreover, the publishing house is still a contract management system. Although this is not the first in China to do so, it is indeed the first in Beijing to do so.

It is precisely because of this that Secretary Dong made Zhou Huai'en, an old guy, the president. The purpose was to show it to the outside world and avoid too much dissent and resistance.

As for how it works internally, it is not something that outsiders can know, let alone control.

To put it bluntly, Secretary Dong did this for Cao Zhiqiang's sake, because he didn't want Cao Zhiqiang to be criticized too much from the outside world at the initial stage, and it was also a show of love.

Of course, if the publishing house does well enough, Cao Zhiqiang has accumulated enough prestige, and everyone obeys him, then this mascot president will no longer be needed, and Cao Zhiqiang can be the real president.

Cao Zhiqiang believed that Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li should have mentioned this matter to Zhou Huai'en early in the morning, so as long as Zhou Huai'en hadn't had a brain twitch, he would not have wanted to seize power with Cao Zhiqiang, let alone at this time.

Because if Zhou Huaien really wants to do something, such as seizing power, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't need to do anything else, just file a complaint.

As long as Cao Zhiqiang files a complaint with Director Li, then Director Li can transfer Zhou Huaien away at any time and replace him with someone else as the mascot president.

After all, in the final analysis, Zhou Huai'en's file relationship is still in the Hongguang Machinery Factory, and he is still a member of the Hongguang Machinery Factory, so of course he has to listen to the machinery factory's orders.

On the contrary, the six newcomers brought by Yu Deli, the current personnel contracts signed are only signed with Hongguang Publishing House, which is a contract system, similar to temporary workers.

Contract workers who sign contracts with publishing houses like this, the main factory, that is, Hongguang Machinery Factory, have no management rights, after all, the files are not with them.

Unless the six recruits want to be promoted, for example, to the administrative staff, they need to re-sign the contract with the machinery factory, and they will become employees of the machinery factory.

It sounds complicated, but it is.

The so-called unequal pay for equal work in China at this time is often due to the differences in the treatment of employees in the same job because of different establishments and file jurisdictions.

As for the contract that Cao Zhiqiang signed with the machinery factory.

Hehe, the contract, at least for now, doesn't make much sense.

Because during this period, for state-owned enterprises, the legal constraints are not so great.

Therefore, in theory, Hongguang Machinery Factory can unilaterally tear up the contract at any time without any punishment.

Even if you signed the contract and had it notarized!

Who makes the cost of breach of contract low, which is the characteristic of this era?
Unless it entered the 90s and the country began to transform into a society ruled by law, especially after the company law was officially promulgated, then Cao Zhiqiang's contract would be useful because it was binding.

But that's really nothing.

Because Cao Zhiqiang's biggest reliance now is not the contract, but Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang.

As long as Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang survive, even if they retire, Cao Zhiqiang is not afraid that anyone will dare to break the contract.

In Cao Zhiqiang's memory, although Uncle Wang didn't know the details, he didn't know how long he would live.

But that Uncle Xu, the big leader behind Sha Zhu, seems to have lived a long life.

It seems that at the finale of the courtyard full of love, the big leader is still alive and kicking.

As for the finale of Love Man Courtyard, it was [-].

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang has a good relationship with Secretary Dong and Director Li.

Even if Secretary Dong and Factory Manager Li are very old, they will have to retire within a few years, but at least for now, with the support of these two people, I can still say the same in the publishing house.

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang just frowned and didn't speak, President Zhou smiled a few times, and stopped pretending to be profound, and directly stated the purpose:

"It's actually like this. I have a young daughter who is currently unemployed and has no job at home. Can you see if you can let him work in our publishing house?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "That's it? No problem, let him come for an interview later, just go through the motions and sign an employment contract with us."

"That's a good relationship." President Zhou smiled, "However, do you think it's okay, doesn't our publishing house still have a few places for administrative editors and career editors?

My youngest daughter graduated from high school, so I don’t want to be in the administrative department, but do you think it’s possible to give her a place in the career department? "

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang frowned again.

His publishing house has only three agency establishments and five business establishments. Compared with other publishing houses, the number is not small.

But Cao Zhiqiang planned to keep those few weaves as decorations, or as bait, so that they could be used to attract people.

In other words, these vacant places are very valuable, but they are most important only when they are not given.

Just like a nuclear bomb, the most deterrent effect is not fired.

As a publishing house, it is a different state if you have time to prepare or not. At this time, the attraction to outsiders is also absolutely different.

How could Cao Zhiqiang give such a precious thing to others at will?

Just kidding, Cao Zhiqiang, the vice president and general manager, actually doesn't even have a staff yet.

It turned out to be a good thing, you, the mascot president, asked me for a career editor at such an important opening ceremony?

Is the face a bit big?
I really think that the president of me is awesome, I have to see your face?

I thought so, but Cao Zhiqiang didn't show it.

After all, after being around for so long, even though his acting skills may not be very strong, he is still qualified for his basic skills with a paralyzed face that shows neither emotion nor anger.

Of course, when Cao Zhiqiang thought about it casually, he knew why the old guy brought up this matter on this occasion.

It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of this occasion to force himself to submit.

"It's easy to talk about." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled and didn't directly refuse.

"Well, the issue of compilation is easy to talk about.

But you also know, president, that our publishing house is just an empty shell, with no serious business yet, so it's too early to talk about establishment at this time.

Moreover, as a newcomer, your daughter will be prepared as soon as she arrives, so it cannot be justified.

In fact, you can let your daughter come to work as a contract worker first, and then adjust slowly when the conditions are right. "

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai'en was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, then it's settled!"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "You are the president and one of your own, so of course you have to give this face."

In the hahaha happy atmosphere, the monkey show on the stage was over, and then a few Huadans came up and began to babble and sing Peking Opera.

It may be because of letting go of his worries and having the Peking Opera he loves to watch, Zhou Huai'en stopped chatting with Cao Zhiqiang, but watched Peking Opera happily.

On the contrary, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't stand the other party's pipe, so he found an excuse to go to the bathroom and left.

After leaving the smoky auditorium and coming to the backstage, Cao Zhiqiang found a place where no one was around and sat down, heaving a long sigh.

"It's kind of interesting. It started to install relatives as soon as it opened, and it's blatantly planning to organize? It's really a characteristic of the times!"

"If this starts with you, how will I mess around in the future? Wouldn't everyone rely on their old face to ask me for this or that?"

"Forget it, I've just started my business, and stability must override everything else!"

"It's very dangerous to have internal strife right after opening!"

"When our publishing house grows bigger in the future, and my prestige will be established, and I can truly convince the public, then you, the mascot president, will be able to do it."

"Now, since you've already spoken, I'll take care of an idler."

"But it's nothing. It's not easy to deal with her when she's in my hands?"

"The president's youngest daughter, right? Seeing that someone is here, how can I use her desperately!"

"If I don't drain her last remaining value, and don't make her resign automatically, I won't be named Cao!"

"In short, in my place, except for the six of you who are left over from history, which can be regarded as my compromise and deal with the factory, there must be no one else who is superficial!"

"I really think this is a public business, isn't it enough to take advantage of it?"

"This is mine, mine!"
