Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 256
Not to mention how Cao Jiajia educated the children, but Cao Zhiqiang went straight back to the publishing house after Hulala took his people away.

As soon as I entered the gate of the publishing house, there was a burst of shouting from a room next to it, and there was a vague smell of smoke wafting out.

After frowning, Cao Zhiqiang did not go directly up the stairs in the middle, but walked to the side of the first floor and came to the door of a room.

Hearing that the voice was coming from this door, Cao Zhiqiang was not polite, and gently pushed the door open.

After entering, I found that the inside was smoky, and many people were chatting and playing poker together. It seemed that six players were enough.

Those six people were so engrossed that Cao Zhiqiang came in, and no one noticed for a while.

Zhang Qianjin, who was still a dog's leg, couldn't help coughing, which alarmed a person.

When he turned around and found Cao Zhiqiang, the man immediately trembled in fright, quickly took off the Xiangyan dangling from his mouth, threw it on the ground and stomped it out with his feet, and said loudly: "Group leader, no, hello, general manager!"

With this voice, everyone came back to their senses and discovered the existence of Cao Zhiqiang.

Ever since, those who pinch cigarettes pinch cigarettes, and those who throw poker throw poker, the scene is in chaos.

Cao Zhiqiang squinted his eyes and found that more than half of the people here did not know him, or he was not familiar with them.

Only then did I remember that these people were all transferred from the security department to help.

Although Cao Zhiqiang said that he doesn't need anyone to protect him.

However, with Li Youfu's great success in Tianjin, news inevitably came back to the machinery factory.

No way, Li Youfu didn't go by himself this time, he took the heavily armed security personnel of the machinery factory, and went in a large truck from the transportation department.

After the team went to the local area, they went directly to a machinery factory in Tianjin to settle down, and used the internal guest house of that machinery factory as their base camp.

As soon as this battle comes out, it doesn't work for this team or that gang.

The so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, it is only because that dragon is not strong enough.

Now Li Youfu brought the fully armed security personnel, relying on the momentum of the Hongguang Machinery Factory, to the Jinmen area, and got a full contact with the local machinery factory, can it be the same as ordinary individual traders?

Therefore, on the night of Li Youfu's arrival in Jinmen, he held a banquet in a local state-run guest house for some local wholesale traders similar to his in the past, and then talked about the situation of selling books.

There are also many schools in Jinmen, for example, Nankai University is here.

There are countless other middle schools.

Moreover, because Jinmen is a coastal port, it can often receive a large amount of overseas goods, so the pursuit of martial arts novels is actually more popular than that of Beijing.

When I heard about Li Youfu's intentions, especially when I heard that the book that Li Youfu asked everyone to sell was a martial arts novel with the title of poetry anthology, and it became a hit in the capital, I was a little moved.

You must know that the capital city is very close to the gate, and Jinmen can actually know immediately if there is any trouble in the capital city.

So although "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" came out not long ago, it has also been heard in Jinmen.

Just because of well-known reasons, the Xinhua Bookstore in Jinmen has not officially put this set of books on sale.

As a result, Xinhua Bookstore has not yet been listed, and the private channel came first. The time difference here is all profit.

Moreover, this time Li Youfu also said that buying from him is not only a genuine product, but also a [-]% discount.

That is, for ten yuan books, they can buy them for eight yuan.

This is very attractive.

After all, in the past, it was impossible for their individual book sellers to buy new books like this at discounted prices like Xinhua Bookstore.

Now that they have this benefit, even if they sell it at the original price, they can still earn two yuan for a set of books, which is very good.

You know, these book dealers are not the same as Xinhua Bookstore.

Although Xinhua Bookstore can get a high discount, but their family has a big business and high consumption.

But these book sellers are different, they are just their own group, they don’t have any employees to support, they eat as much as they earn, and the cost is much lower.

Therefore, the profit of two yuan for a set of books was already considerable for private book sellers in this period.

Not to mention, they may not sell according to the price, they can sell at a higher price.

In this way, Li Youfu sold 50 sets in just one night.

This is just a test of the water. If the test is successful, it proves that this set of books is indeed a bestseller, and it will only become more powerful in the future.

However, 50 sets is already quite good, and it is a good start.

You know, during this period, when selling books with private dealers, you paid the money and delivered the goods.

So 50 sets, based on the original calculation of eight yuan, is 400 million RMB!
As soon as this number came out, the accompanying guards were immediately frightened.

You know, it is not certain whether the entire Hongguang Machinery Factory can create a profit of 400 million yuan in one year.

But here, in just one night's effort, he got 400 million small money!
This is cash, proper cash!
Sacks of cash!
It can be said that those young security personnel have never seen so much money in their life!
After being frightened, the group of security personnel immediately called Section Chief Zeng.

Section Chief Zeng was also frightened, and quickly called Director Li.

Director Li woke up with fright, and called Secretary Dong overnight.

In the end, Secretary Dong was heart-warming and fat, and immediately made a decision, asking the factory to fully support Cao Zhiqiang's great cause!

Then, early the next morning, the printing office of the machinery factory began to implement the long-lost three-shift policy, and began to go all out to print the "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" suit.

The reason is very simple. Only 100 million sets were printed before, and then 38 sets were sold in Beijing. Li Youfu was just in Jinmen area, and he sold 50 sets in just one day.

Now that the inventory is running out, if you don’t print more, if the demand breaks out again in the future, it will be too late.

At the same time, the security department of Hongguang Machinery Factory also sent many security personnel to the printing office.

They also specially sent six elite soldiers from the security department to protect Cao Zhiqiang.

It's a pity that Cao Zhiqiang didn't like these people following, so he let Sister Niu watch over the arrangements.

As long as Cao Zhiqiang wants to come, it doesn't matter if these people come, such as serving tea, handing water and cleaning up, they will be responsible for it in the future.

In this way, other manpower can be liberated.

It is a pity that because Hongguang Publishing House was founded not long ago, various rules and regulations are not perfect, which is the so-called "flat management".

This kind of unit itself is very loose, and the responsibilities and powers are not clear enough.

Under such circumstances, six security personnel were suddenly sent from above, and they didn't know who was in charge for a while.

After all, strictly speaking, these people in the security department are not staffed by the publishing house.

It is equivalent to saying that in such a large Hongguang Publishing House, only Cao Zhiqiang, who also serves as the "Head of the General Business Group of the Factory Office of Hongguang Machinery Factory", can manage them both in name and in reality.

But Cao Zhiqiang, who likes to be the hands-off shopkeeper, let Big Sister Niu figure it out, and ran away by himself.

So after these people came, Sister Niu had to arrange a big room first, and temporarily put up a sign of the duty room, so that these people would be the gatekeepers for a while.

But just because no one cares about them, this group of people started to gather in the house, play cards, smoke and drink tea. Anyway, they just idle around, just like they usually do.

That's right, the security department is actually a relatively leisurely department. As long as they are free, they are basically in this state, that is, they get together to play cards, chat, smoke and drink tea.

I definitely don’t dare to drink alcohol, at least not during work, it’s a violation of factory rules and disciplines, and serious violations of factory rules and disciplines will result in dismissal.

It was found that Cao Zhiqiang kept his face sullen and silent, and the six sent guards did not dare to speak.

The reason is very simple. When they came, Section Chief Zeng had specifically told them that Cao Zhiqiang was a person that the higher-ups focused on, and that he would be everyone's future parents.

From now on, everyone's salaries and bonuses will be in charge of the "Factory and Office Comprehensive Business Group" led by Cao Zhiqiang.

Therefore, after they came to the publishing house, they must listen to Cao Zhiqiang's words, otherwise, if Cao Zhiqiang spared them, Section Chief Zeng would not spare them.

In severe cases, expulsion is possible.

That's all the talking, can everyone be careful?

This silence lasted for a full minute before Cao Zhiqiang spoke first: "I know, you guys were sent by the factory to defend the publishing house. If so, what is the defense method? Hiding in the office all day playing poker? Is it enough?" class?"

After the six people looked at each other in blank dismay, finally a middle-aged man with the fastest head said:
"General Manager, it's like this. When we came, the superiors explained that we were only here to protect you personally, but you didn't let us follow, let us stay here, we, we had no choice but to wait here."

Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes: "Is that still my fault?"

"Where can it be?" The stout middle-aged man chuckled.

"That's right, General Manager Cao, since we were all sent by the top to protect you, if you are willing to let us protect you, you can also give us some work.

As long as you speak, we promise to obey orders without any ambiguity.

However, you have not ordered it down, we can only play cards first to relieve boredom. "

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Didn't I ask Sister Niu to arrange work for you?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The burly man nodded quickly, "We were arranged here by Big Sister Niu.

Sister Niu told us to stay here honestly and not to rush in, so we just stayed here honestly! "

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, knowing that he might have wrongly blamed them.

There is a high probability that I didn't explain it clearly, and Sister Niu didn't arrange to understand it, and then this group of people was dead-headed, and it ended like this.

So, don't blame these people for fishing, but blame yourself, the leader, for not arranging correct tasks for others.

But Cao Zhiqiang didn't know what they could do for a while.

After thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang said directly: "You guys wait here, you can play cards, drink tea and read newspapers, but don't smoke.

If you really want to smoke, go out to smoke, don't smoke in the office, do you hear me? "

"Yes, yes, yes!" The burly man in the lead nodded quickly, and the others followed suit.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Okay, let's continue, I'll go up and have a meeting with someone, and arrange your formal work after it's over, so you won't have to worry about it every day."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang left the office straight away under the nodding and bowing of a group of people.

As soon as Cao Zhiqiang left, the group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

Then a thin man said to the strong man in the lead: "Boss, I was scared to death just now. I thought Team Leader Cao was going to blame us and drive us away."

"What's the team leader?" The burly man glared. "This is a publishing house. I want to call him the general manager. I didn't see that the general manager likes others to call him the general manager. Don't you like being called the team leader?"

"Yes, yes, yes." A young man with a hat next to him nodded with a smile, "The general manager sounds so impressive, much better than the team leader."

"Don't even talk about it." The burly man in the lead sighed, "Clean up the cigarette butts and open the windows to let the air in. This general manager doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so hurry up!"

Only then did everyone start to tidy up in a hurry.

And just as the security guards began to tidy up the duty room, Cao Zhiqiang had already gone upstairs to his editorial department.

The editorial department is currently the largest office of Hongguang Publishing House, and most of the employees usually work here.

To the east of the editorial department is the president's office, and to the west of the editorial department is the general manager's office.

Because the current model is dominated by the general manager's family, people in the editorial department usually refer to the general manager's office as the west block and the president's office as the east block in private.

Obviously, this is influenced by some spy movies.

It can only be said that as long as there are people, as long as there are upper and lower levels, then office culture is really self-taught, and it is impossible to guard against.

After Cao Zhiqiang entered the editorial department, he found that there were quite a lot of people here, and they all chatted together, but there was no smoking.

It's not that no one here smokes, but that Cao Zhiqiang stipulated from the very beginning that smoking is not allowed in the office, but must be smoked outside.

These people have strictly abided by this rule, including President Zhou.

Don't look at Zhou Huai'en as the president, if he wants to smoke, he has to go to the corridor to smoke, and he can't smoke in his office.

It's called taking care of lesbians and preventing second-hand smoke. In fact, everyone knows that it's because Cao Zhiqiang himself doesn't like it.

"Hey, everyone is here." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"General manager!" Yu Deli was the first to come over to say hello, "Why are you here? Didn't you say that you have something to do at home today and won't come back?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "After finishing the family affairs, I will come back and have a look, and discuss something with everyone by the way."

Well, now due to the popularity of "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" and the establishment of the sales department, there is no need for people like Yu Deli who are not proficient in sales to go to Xinhua Bookstore for promotion.

Because the current problem is not a problem of promotion at all, but a problem of insufficient production capacity and insufficient supply.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Cao Zhiqiang withdrew Yu Deli and others.

But this group of people came back, but found that there was nothing to do for a while, so they had nothing to chat about.

In the final analysis, this is still the problem of Cao Zhiqiang, who is at the helm.

There is one thing to say, Cao Zhiqiang does have a lot of ideas, he is very strong in cheating, and his courage and decisiveness are also very good.

But when it comes to leading the team as a leader, Cao Zhiqiang is really not qualified, at least not yet.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't think this was a problem before.

After all, the publishing house has not been established for a long time, and the manpower is very small, so it is possible to carry out so-called "flat management".

When the publishing house grows gradually and the manpower gradually increases, it will naturally change slowly.

But now it seems that with the popularity of the product "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes", the attention of the superiors, and the sudden increase in the number of people under his command, the speed of development of the publishing house is beyond everyone's imagination.

Now, the publishing house didn't grow slowly at all, but suddenly became a fat man like blowing up a balloon.

This time, Cao Zhiqiang was a little overwhelmed.

You know, Cao Zhiqiang now has to record novels, manage the company, manage sales, handle housework, prepare for the next singing record, and even have a restaurant that is about to open waiting for him.

It can be said that Cao Zhiqiang's current stall is too big, and he needs to devote a lot of energy to any project, let alone all projects together.

Human energy is limited, and we cannot have both.

We must learn to concentrate on the main things and separate out the secondary things.

Want everything, catch everything, but in the end you can't do anything well.

After all, it’s time for a change!

If we don't take advantage of the fact that the problem is not big now, we should quickly change the organizational structure from top to bottom, carry out more detailed decentralization, and strictly implement the reform of the modern management system with clear responsibilities and rights, and the problem will become bigger in the future!

Among other things, at least in terms of the organizational structure of the publishing house, it is no longer possible to carry out the extensive "flat management" of the past.

To sum up in one sentence.

He needs a real manager!
