Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 212 Factions and Circles

After leaving the courtyard in Houhai, the first place Cao Zhiqiang went to was Wangfujing Bookstore, or Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore.

The reason for coming here is very simple, because so far, this Xinhua Bookstore in Wangfujing is the bookstore with the highest traffic in Beijing, bar none.

Therefore, as long as a newly launched domestic book can be sold here, it will basically enter the mainstream business circle.

And as long as you know the sales situation of a book in Wangfujing Bookstore, you can basically know the general situation of the book.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wangfujing Bookstore is a barometer of Peking Bookstore.

Because of the importance of this place, the people in charge of this store are Cao Zhiqiang's most valued new right-hand men, that is, Shen Zhenhua and Liu Donghai.

Liu Donghai was recruited by Yu Deli. He has served as a soldier, participated in the battlefield, and participated in the counterattack against Vietnam in 79.

But that's all a gimmick, and the reality is not so mysterious.

Because this Liu Donghai is not a combat soldier, but a literary and artistic soldier, and he is an orderly in the literary and artistic soldier who does miscellaneous tasks, such as repairing scenery panels, moving equipment, helping with laundry and sweeping the floor, etc.

His so-called going to the battlefield also stayed in a safe place behind, so he was not taken seriously.

After the battle, the army began to lay off a large number of art soldiers, including this Liu Donghai.

According to the normal situation, it is impossible for Liu Donghai, a native of Liao Province, to stay in the capital.

But Liu Donghai was tall and mighty, so during his work, he secretly fell in love with a female art soldier from the capital.

In this way, after changing jobs, Liu Donghai did not return to his hometown to work in agriculture, but came to the capital with the female art soldier and got married quickly.

After getting married, the father of the female art soldier had some connections and helped Liu Donghai arrange a job as a typesetter in a publishing house, specializing in typesetting.

During this period, typesetting was all done with typesetting, and typesetting was a job with heavy workload but low salary.

But there is no way, Liu Donghai was born in a rural area, and it is already very good to be able to stay in the capital relying on the relationship of his father-in-law, so how dare he have any complaints.

But this does not mean that Liu Donghai has no ambitions.

During the opening ceremony, Liu Donghai did Cao Zhiqiang a small favor and asked Cao Zhiqiang to avoid drinking with the leader, so he came into Cao Zhiqiang's eyes.

After several contacts, Cao Zhiqiang discovered that although this Liu Donghai was very tall and big, he was actually very careful, and he was very good at getting things done, and he was very good at drilling.

Ever since, Cao Zhiqiang secretly developed Liu Donghai.

The so-called development is nothing more than giving some money and adding some big cakes, and soon Liu Donghai was quietly pulled over and became his insider.

Not to mention Shen Zhenhua, he was originally one of his own.

Shen Zhenhua's nickname is Hua Zi, and he is the neighbor of Yang Ping'an who is still learning to drive.

The reason why Yang An'an recommended this person to Cao Zhiqiang in the first place.

Firstly, because Yang Pingan had to learn to drive now, he couldn't continue to run errands for Cao Zhiqiang, so he found a substitute to temporarily take over his position.

Secondly, it was Yang An'an who wanted to find a good job for Shen Zhenhua so that he would not continue to idle around.

After all, Shen Zhenhua's situation is special, and it is impossible for a normal state-owned unit to want him.

Cao Zhiqiang was really short of manpower before, and Huazi was recommended by Yang Anan, so he accepted it.

However, at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang just asked Huazi to dress up as a businessman and go to a big hotel to stay. First, to see if it is possible to find Lou Xiao'e, and second, to find a reliable Hong Kong businessman boss.

In fact, the purpose of finding Lou Xiao'e can only be said to be incidental. After all, Cao Zhiqiang never thought that he would really meet Lou Xiao'e at that time.

So the real purpose of letting Huazi stay at the hotel is to let him find reliable Hong Kong businessmen, and then he can take the initiative to contact those Hong Kong businessmen.

Who knows, it was less than a week before Huazi was put into work, and no reliable unfamiliar Hong Kong businessman could be found, but Lou Xiao'e was found first.

Now that Lou Xiao'e has been contacted, Cao Zhiqiang does not need to find other Hong Kong businessmen for the time being, after all, it is better to be familiar with it.

Since then, Huazi no longer wears a suit and tie all day long, and goes to various foreign-related hotels to find Hong Kong businessmen, but resumes the role of running errands.

For example, it was him who helped Cao Zhiqiang run an errand to buy something, or ordered him a takeaway.

Later, Shen Zhenhua's mother fell ill, and he went to the hospital to take care of her, and happened to miss the opening ceremony of Cao Zhiqiang's publishing house.

However, after the publishing house was officially put into operation, Shen Zhenhua's mother recovered and was discharged from the hospital, so he came back to report to Cao Zhiqiang.

And Cao Zhiqiang was also very straightforward, and directly signed an employment contract with Shen Zhenhua in the name of the publishing house, making Shen Zhenhua an employee of the publishing house.

Although Shen Zhenhua was just a contract worker, the same nature as Zhou Huai'en's daughter, but the degree of reuse was completely different.

You know, although Hongguang Publishing House is very small, the current employees are basically divided into two factions.

One faction is the elder faction headed by Zhou Huai'en.

The other faction is the cutting-edge faction headed by Yu Deli.

The so-called veterans are mainly those old people from the original Hongguang magazine department, such as Zhou Huai'en and Niu Dajie.

These people came to the publishing house to provide for the elderly. Theoretically, they only take money and don’t care about their affairs, and the treatment of these people is all borne by Hongguang Publishing House. This is why the machinery factory can agree to contract the operation one of the conditions.

For this reason, Cao Zhiqiang was also willing to bear the salaries of these people, so when these veterans came, Cao Zhiqiang gave them a noble but no-nonsense position.

However, after the publishing house actually opened, I don’t know what’s going on. Some of these veterans no longer stay at home all day to continue to provide for the elderly, but instead come to the publishing house to work all day.

For example, the president Zhou Huai'en, the editor-in-chief Qian Degui and Sister Niu, these three people go to work in the publishing house almost every day, at most they arrive late and leave early.

The enthusiasm of these three people is not small, at least when it comes to the planning of the subordinate magazines, they are doing their best.

Because these three people were originally engaged in internal magazines and have rich experience, so the planning projects of the subordinate magazines are basically entrusted to them at present, and the speed of progress is quite fast.

By the way, these three people also have a common feature, that is, they all arrange their children and relatives in.

For example, Zhou Huai'en put his daughter in as an intern editor.

Qian Degui and Sister Niu also placed their own sons in.

In this way, these three veterans who come to work every day, plus their three children, equal to a total of six people!

Six people, the number of veterans is quite a lot.

From the current point of view, these people in the veteran faction are very obedient. Cao Zhiqiang does what he says, and rarely has his own opinions. He is a bit like an old scalper who works more and talks less.

On the contrary, those people from the cutting-edge faction always raise opinions in various ways.

The so-called cutting-edge faction is Cao Zhiqiang's own name, referring to the group of people Yu Deli recruited.

Those people were all brought by Yu Deli from various units relying on his own contacts.

They themselves are all young employees of various magazines or publishing houses, with certain work experience, but because they are not willing to continue to earn their qualifications with meager income in the original unit, they followed Yu Deli to come here for a break.

Obviously, since Yu Deli brought this group of people, they must mainly listen to Yu Deli's words.

For example, Yang Shouwen dared to openly contradict Cao Zhiqiang at the all-staff meeting, but he did not dare to contradict Yu Deli, which is evident from this.

Although Cao Zhiqiang didn't seem to care about these things on the surface, and seemed very generous and approachable, but that was all pretending.

In fact, how could Cao Zhiqiang really not care?

But there is no way, Cao Zhiqiang is too young and has too few qualifications. Even if he has a good network, they are all too high-end.

This determines that it is impossible for Cao Zhiqiang to have a real confidant at the moment.

Fortunately, the publishing house was established from scratch by Cao Zhiqiang, who controls the personnel and financial power of the publishing house, and the leadership behind it is too strong, so he has the absolute right to speak.

Furthermore, Hongguang Publishing House is now a small temple, and there is no conflict of interest, so the so-called factional disputes are not a problem.

But Cao Zhiqiang knew that after the publishing house grew, it might not be so peaceful.

So he has to be a little bit really his own man.

At the very least, you can't let the people below work together to make yourself confused, so that you can't figure out what they are doing.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang simply brought Shen Zhenhua in, signed a formal employment contract with him, and made Shen Zhenhua his secretary.

In this way, Shen Zhenhua became his own.

The role of secretary to the general manager is a lowly role. Shen Zhenhua has become the secretary to the general manager, at least in the publishing house, he has enough deterrent power.

It is also because of Shen Zhenhua, the secretary of the general manager, that Cao Zhiqiang can read novels at home without having to go to the office building all day to work.

Without him, if something happens, Shen Zhenhua, a bastard, no, the general manager's secretary, will call him to report the situation.

Therefore, through the secretary Shen Zhenhua, Cao Zhiqiang can remotely control the entire publishing house.

It's really not that difficult.

After all, the publishing house has just started, with a small staff and only one project, which is Cao Zhiqiang's buy one get one free book bundle.

In this case, as long as Shen Zhenhua is in the publishing house, it should not be too easy to supervise everyone.

It is also because of Cao Zhiqiang's buy one get one free book project that at present, except for Cao Zhiqiang, the general manager, and the three veterans Zhou Huai'en, Qian Degui and Niu Dajie, the publishing house is still staying in the publishing house.

Others, including Zhou Huai'en and other children placed by the veterans, will be sent out to promote sales and monitor the sales of books in real time.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the main project of the publishing house at present is the release of the two books by Cao Zhiqiang, and the publishing house no longer supports idlers except for those veterans, so they send out people to promote sales and count sales. It is the best use of people.

As the most important barometer of Wangfujing Bookstore, Cao Zhiqiang must not hand it over to outsiders, but of course he has to hand it over to his two confidants, namely the secretary Shen Zhenhua, and the editor-in-chief Liu Donghai.

In addition, it needs to be pointed out that this personnel appointment was ordered by Cao Zhiqiang himself.

The purpose is to force Liu Donghai to stand in line and let everyone know that Liu Donghai is Cao Zhiqiang's man.

In this way, Liu Donghai stood in the clear, and it was impossible to be at both ends of the first mouse.

In fact, this is not a bad thing.

After all, a small publishing house doesn't need to engage in ghosts or ghosts.

It is enough to let everyone know who holds the highest power and who is most beneficial to follow.

Whoever you are, the old school or the new school, so what?
If the people who follow you find out that what you say doesn't count and you can't give yourself enough benefits, then it will be a matter of minutes.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang only needs to let Liu Donghai and Shen Zhenhua have enough power and get better benefits than others, and everyone will naturally know how to choose sides.

And let Liu Donghai and Shen Zhenhua come to Wangfujing Bookstore to sit in Wangfujing Bookstore, besides that they are confidantes and can convey the correct information to Cao Zhiqiang more accurately here, but also to give them a chance to make meritorious deeds.

Only meritorious deeds can be rewarded, and rewards can lead to progress, progress can be envied, and when someone is envied, they will naturally know who has the final say and who to curry favor with in the future.

What?Why bother?
No trouble.

The publishing house is now created by him with all his painstaking efforts, and many people are staring at him.

Cao Zhiqiang can only succeed, not fail!

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang also relied heavily on the experienced Yu Deli and Zhou Huai'en. At least until Cao Zhiqiang himself became an industry insider, he couldn't do without the help of these two people.

Furthermore, there is no party or affiliation, and there are all kinds of strange things.

When there are more people, different factions and circles will naturally appear.

So it is unrealistic to expect to eliminate factions.

If you really use strong means to eliminate it, you can only eliminate what is on the bright side. Once it turns from the bright to the dark, and a group of people secretly form a small circle, it will be even more troublesome.

On the contrary, it would be easier to deal with everyone's faction identities as they are now.
