Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 370

Cao Zhiqiang had wanted to say these things to Director Li for a long time.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang wants to use this to pretend to be aggressive, this is really not the case.

If you really want to pretend, at least you have to say it in a crowded place, it is impossible to say it when the two of them are whispering.

In fact, what Cao Zhiqiang said was from the bottom of his heart, he really thought so.

After all, he is not an ordinary person, he is a systematic traveler.

As an open traveler, he is a bit ambitious, isn't this a normal situation?
Not normal.

Of course, if it was just like this, Cao Zhiqiang wouldn't say these things at this time.

In fact, he said these words, there is another layer of meaning, which is to take the opportunity to beat and beat Director Li in a subtle way.

He wanted Factory Manager Li to understand the positions of both parties, and not to think that Cao Zhiqiang was really easy to take advantage of.

He also wanted to let Factory Manager Li understand that it was Factory Manager Li who was begging him now, not the other way around.

He already understood why Director Li was so kind to him and why he was so tolerant to the publishing house.

To put it bluntly, everything, in the final analysis, is because of the great leader, that is, that Uncle Xu!

In fact, for this Hongguang Publishing House, it was Cao Zhiqiang who single-handedly got through the relationship with Uncle Xu through the silly column at the beginning, and then got to know Uncle Wang through Uncle Xu, and with the help of his excellent performance, Uncle Wang agreed to let Cao Zhiqiang started the publishing house.

Without Cao Zhiqiang's efforts, Director Li would never have thought of asking someone to start a publishing house.

And after the publishing house got the license, the reason why it settled in Hongguang Machinery Factory was regarded as a subsidiary unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory. This was mainly a compromise.

To be more precise, it was Uncle Xu, the former leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy, who wanted to use this as a pilot reform.

The reason is very simple, that is the first time Cao Zhiqiang went to Uncle Xu’s house to meet him, and talked about it in front of him, especially how Cao Zhiqiang earned 10 yuan by writing a book in a short period of time, and explained in detail how to publish it. When the company's profit was so high, it actually gave Uncle Xu a big blow.

Uncle Xu never expected that a young man could earn so much money just by writing a collection of poems.

According to what Cao Zhiqiang said at the time, he only made a fraction of the money at the time, and most of the money was made by the publishing house.

The subtext is that if the publishing house allows Cao Zhiqiang to open it, it will earn more.

That being the case, Uncle Xu wanted to give Cao Zhiqiang a chance to see how far he could go.

The reason why the publishing house became a subordinate unit of the machinery factory after the license came down was that it did not violate the regulations, and it was also to take care of Hongguang Machinery Factory and use this Hongguang Machinery Factory as a pilot.

That's right, if Cao Zhiqiang met Uncle Xu for the first time, Uncle Xu didn't know Cao Zhiqiang well, but he was only shocked by Cao Zhiqiang's literary talent, earning speed and bold ideas.

Then when Cao Zhiqiang left Uncle Xu's house, he naturally had a way to investigate Cao Zhiqiang.

After figuring out Cao Zhiqiang's situation, Uncle Xu had the idea of ​​using Cao Zhiqiang as a pilot for reform.

That's right, the reason why Uncle Xu was able to find Uncle Wang and get Uncle Wang to agree to help Cao Zhiqiang start a publishing house was not entirely because Cao Zhiqiang played and sang a few nice songs in front of him and Uncle Wang, nor was it because Cao Zhiqiang can massage and massage, or give gifts such as tea cream.

For a person like Uncle Xu, these little gadgets are not on the table at all, and because of this, they will not mobilize people to use their old connections to find Uncle Wang who is in charge of cultural propaganda.

To put it bluntly, Uncle Xu was able to help Cao Zhiqiang so wholeheartedly because he liked Cao Zhiqiang's talent in writing and singing, as well as his ability to realize his talents.

When Uncle Xu sent someone to inquire about Cao Zhiqiang's identity, he naturally also inquired about Cao Zhiqiang's income. This information was not a problem at all for Uncle Xu.

When Uncle Xu heard that Cao Zhiqiang earned 6000 yuan in just over half a month by publishing a collection of poems, he was quite taken aback.

Although the figure of 9 yuan is nothing in the eyes of Uncle Xu, if it comes to an individual, and it is earned in half a month, it is indeed a bit scary.

With solid achievements, combined with Cao Zhiqiang's bragging in front of Uncle Xu before, this made Uncle Xu a little tempted.

He suddenly felt that the publishing house might be really interesting.

Then he asked people to investigate the situation of the publishing house.

As a result, he found that, in fact, today's publishing houses make money, but not so much.

The reason why Cao Zhiqiang earned [-] in half a month is entirely because his poetry collection is too popular, which is a rare phenomenon in recent decades.

After all, poetry collections belong to the unpopular niche books, so a large publishing house like Writers Publishing House has never sold 20 poetry collections in half a month since its establishment.

It is precisely because the collection of poems is a niche and unpopular book, so the price is high, and it is something that a group of intellectuals like.

The ability to sell 20 copies in half a month, and some of his poems are still popular all over the city, shows that Cao Zhiqiang belongs to the kind of real poet, without any water.

The key point is that Cao Zhiqiang sings very well. No matter the lyrics of the song or Cao Zhiqiang's personal singing, they are all masterpieces that Uncle Xu has rarely heard in the past few decades.

Talent, ideas, and strong action, this is the real talent.

That's why Uncle Xu wanted to give Cao Zhiqiang a chance to set up his own publishing house and see how far he can go.

Of course, an individual publishing house is impossible, at least not during this period.

Therefore, Uncle Xu wants Cao Zhiqiang's publishing house to be placed under Hongguang Machinery Factory and become a sub-unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory.

The purpose of Uncle Xu’s doing this is firstly to meet Cao Zhiqiang’s requirement of owning a publishing house, and secondly, he wants Cao Zhiqiang to distribute some of the profits to the machinery factory after he makes money, to see if he can help the machinery factory collect some three workers.

After all, Uncle Xu has known for a long time that Hongguang Machinery Factory is facing rectification. He also knows that after the rectification is completed, it is impossible for all employees to be employed. There must be many employees who will be laid off.

So Uncle Xu put the publishing house in the machinery factory because he wanted Cao Zhiqiang's publishing house to take the opportunity to recruit some third-industry workers from the machinery factory, as much as he could.

In this case, Cao Zhiqiang's publishing house will automatically become a public institution when the machinery factory is annexed and rectified in the future, which is also worthy of Cao Zhiqiang.

As for further ideas, such as letting Cao Zhiqiang support the entire machinery factory, Uncle Xu really didn't think about it at the time.

In order to delegate power to Cao Zhiqiang, Uncle Xu had already communicated with Factory Manager Li and Secretary Dong to ask them to take care of Cao Zhiqiang and delegate more power, even if he asked for contracted management.

It was because of Uncle Xu's words that Secretary Dong and Director Li were so tolerant towards Cao Zhiqiang.

Otherwise, in the face of these cash cows from Hongguang Publishing House, how could Director Li and Secretary Dong not be able to resist?

I really think that they are all moral models, and they put a long line to catch big fish.

Both Secretary Dong and Factory Manager Li are old people who are about to retire. If it weren't for the bigger officials watching over them, how could they resist doing anything.

In fact, at the earliest time, Uncle Xu's verbal intention was to let Cao Zhiqiang directly control the publishing house by himself in the form of contract management, that is, let Cao Zhiqiang be the president directly.

But both Secretary Dong and Factory Manager Li felt that this was inappropriate and easy to invite people to gossip, so they forced someone to be the president and let Cao Zhiqiang be the vice president and general manager.

On the surface, this matter was for the good of Cao Zhiqiang, but in essence, it was a nail that could grab the class and seize power at any time.

After all, the person they arranged is the president. The position and power of the president are not fake.

It's just that neither Factory Manager Li nor Secretary Dong thought that the people they had arranged to enter were so muddled that they couldn't support the wall. When Cao Zhiqiang had made great achievements, they would still have conflicts with Cao Zhiqiang, thinking of grabbing the class and seizing power. Even embezzling the small treasury in private is unbearable.

Just kidding, Hongguang Publishing House is a project that the top leaders are watching closely. You, a nail we sent over, dare to reach out at this time. Isn't this courting death?

What if Cao Zhiqiang sued Uncle Xu?
Moreover, at that time, Cao Zhiqiang had already asked the publishing house to publish a book "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes", and in a short period of time, a hit product was born, and the income he earned made Secretary Dong and Director Li jealous.

Cao Zhiqiang has already proved his worth with his own strength.

Under such circumstances, Director Li made a decisive move to appease Cao Zhiqiang's anger by sacrificing those two nails, and kept Cao Zhiqiang here.

Afterwards, Factory Director Li resolutely delegated power to Cao Zhiqiang, allowing Cao Zhiqiang to control more power, and he did not hesitate to speak out about the crisis facing the machinery factory, so that Cao Zhiqiang could relax.

What's more, Factory Manager Li deliberately set up a powerful department like the Third Industry Office, and appointed Cao Zhiqiang as the deputy director of the Third Industry Office, just to bind Cao Zhiqiang deeply, so that Cao Zhiqiang would not leave the machinery factory in a fit of anger.

Because Director Li has already understood that it doesn't matter what publishing house or not.

What really matters is Cao Zhiqiang, the cash cow.

With Cao Zhiqiang, there is a steady stream of small money and a bunch of completely feasible new ideas.

Especially after Cao Zhiqiang was willing to take the initiative to take [-]% of the profit and distribute it to Director Li and Secretary Dong, these two people relied on Cao Zhiqiang even more.

It's just that Secretary Dong is an old fox, and he usually doesn't come out, and the one who comes out is Director Li.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang didn't know much about these things, but these days he ate too much with the leader, especially after getting acquainted with Yu Deshui, and sometimes drank too much wine, he couldn't help talking about how he became The experience of a publisher.

This is also very normal. When Cao Zhiqiang has dinner with the leader, he always has to introduce his identity, and it is obviously abnormal for him to become the president of a publishing house at such a young age, so it is only natural for everyone to ask about the situation.

This is also a way to find out about each other and prevent contact with some unscrupulous people.

Leaders have different people when they eat. Not all the dogs can sit and eat with them. You have to prove your value and status before everyone can let you integrate into their circle.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, if he didn't understand it before, then Yu Deshui was a military adviser, so he understood it even if he didn't understand it.

So he just concealed the real identity of Uncle Xu, and only said that he had a good relationship with Secretary Dong of Hongguang Machinery Factory and Director Li, and through their relationship, he got the position of president of the publishing house under the Machinery Factory.

This can be justified.

After all, as one of the enterprises directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy, Hongguang Machinery Factory is also a unit in the capital, so its rank is quite high.

Among them, Secretary Dong is the main office, and Director Li is the deputy office. They have been in the capital for decades, so it is not difficult to run a publishing house.

It's just that Hongguang Machinery Factory is facing rectification. It's no secret to the leaders of the Beijing circle, so they began to transform into various analysis emperors to analyze the situation for Cao Zhiqiang.

A group of leaders analyzed with you, even if Cao Zhiqiang didn't understand at first, he can understand the intentions of Director Li and Secretary Dong.

Then Cao Zhiqiang suddenly woke up.

That's right, now it's Factory Manager Li and they're begging him to be more Cao Zhiqiang, not the other way around.

Because Cao Zhiqiang belongs to the kind of person who has money and talent, and people like him are always scrambling for places wherever they go.

As for the Hongguang Publishing House, once Cao Zhiqiang is gone, what else is there?
Just relying on Yu Deli's people, without Cao Zhiqiang's forward-looking guidance and micro-manipulation, what good things can be produced?
It is precisely because he wants to understand this point that Cao Zhiqiang's confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

But just like this, Cao Zhiqiang will not have a direct showdown with Director Li.

It's really that what Director Li has done recently is a bit out of character.

It's nothing else, but Director Li has recently started to send a lot of people to the publishing house.

It's just that this time, the people planted by Factory Manager Li were no longer talented like Chen Jiabang, but some bastards.

Two days ago, Cao Zhiqiang learned from Hua Zi, that is, Shen Zhenhua, that the publishing house had ten more people last week.

Originally, it was fine to have ten more people, but according to Huazi, these ten people would drink tea and read newspapers every day after they came, and did nothing. They came to get paid for nothing.

Obviously, Hua Zi is making a small report to Cao Zhiqiang, and hopes to win Cao Zhiqiang's favor again in this way.

The fact is also the same, because when Cao Zhiqiang comforted Hua Zi, he told him that Hua Zi was his confidant, and the reason why he was transferred to the publishing house as an internal security guard was mainly to let him secretly monitor every move of the publishing house for him.

Of course, this is just an excuse, mainly because Shen Zhenhua's ability is just that. After Cao Zhiqiang has more people available, Shen Zhenhua's ability is dispensable. It is actually for his own good to let him be a security guard.

It's just that Shen Zhenhua obviously doesn't think so. He really regards himself as Cao Zhiqiang's confidant, and really thinks that he is Jin Yiwei who secretly monitors the publishing house for Cao Zhiqiang.

Although Cao Zhiqiang himself doesn't like snitches, such people are really good to use.

That is, through Huazi, Cao Zhiqiang knew that the ten people came to get their salaries for nothing.

Of course Cao Zhiqiang couldn't bear it, so he called for Chen Jiabang, intending to get rid of those ten poor people.

Who knew that Chen Jiabang told him that it was arranged by Director Li, and that they were all related to him.

After knowing this, Cao Zhiqiang let it go temporarily, but still wanted to find an opportunity to have a formal showdown with Director Li.

"Director Li, we can make money together, and we can save Hongguang Machinery Factory together, and let this factory achieve greater glory, but since you believe in me and put the future on me, don't make trouble for me anymore .”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed and said: "Director Li, I remember your kindness to me, but I hope you understand that I am only grateful to you, not to your relatives.

So, I hope that there will be no more staffing for the publishing house.

Of course, this matter itself is not important. At most, there are ten people, and I can afford it.

What I really care about is the convenience kiosk project! "

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang pointed to the board room of the convenience kiosk that had just been painted and was not completely dry: "Director Li, I believe you also know how important this convenience kiosk project is. Once it succeeds, our Third Industry Office More than half of the people are settled.

So the more this time, the more we cannot take it lightly.

For example, the group of people in the early pilot must be people who are truly down-to-earth, willing to work and able to endure hardships. Those kind of bastards with relatives and old friends are absolutely not acceptable.

No matter how good a project is, it must be executed by reliable people.

No matter how good the project is, it is useless if the people are not good enough.

Why did Wang Anshi's reform fail back then? Isn't it because of improper employment?

You don't know this, do you? "

Factory Manager Li was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "So you care about this, but it's my fault that you put people in your publishing house, but I can't do anything about it.

Those ten people are actually only distant relatives to me, not very close.

It's just that these people are old employees who have been working for decades. After they know that your publishing house has paid well, they come to my house in groups all day long to block the door and make troubles. They eat and live at my house.

I was so disturbed that I agreed to transfer them to your place.

Originally, this was my own scandal, so I didn't tell you.

Since you mentioned this, I will explain it to you now. "

After taking a deep breath, Director Li said with a serious face: "Don't worry, I know the seriousness.

It's really nothing to arrange for a few old fried dough sticks who can make trouble to go to your publishing house to have a dry meal.

After all, they are all under their noses, and they can't think of any moths. They just want more bonuses. I believe you can't afford them.

But without these old bastards in the factory, many things in the factory will be easier to carry out.

As for the convenience kiosk project, I certainly know it's important.

Therefore, the people selected in the early stage are reliable and will never be held back.

In fact, working as a salesperson in a convenience kiosk is definitely not as comfortable as working in a factory, and most old bastards probably won't be willing to go there.

I'll be able to deal with those old bastards when everyone knows that the salary is high.

Anyway, Zhiqiang.

You live up to me, and I live up to you.

Old Dong and I are both of this age, and we even ate [-]% of your money. We are all that, yes, a community of interests!

Do you think our community of interests is more reliable, or are those relatives who are not in touch with each other more reliable? "

Cao Zhiqiang thought about it for a while. After all, he said that ten thousand is ten thousand. He wanted to share [-]% of the profit and give it to Director Li and Secretary Dong respectively. This in itself is the greatest bond of interest.

From the perspective of benefits, Secretary Dong and Factory Manager Li can only continue to enjoy the [-]% profit after they retire if they give Cao Zhiqiang the position in the factory.

Otherwise, it was just a verbal agreement, and Cao Zhiqiang could break the contract at any time.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "So, Director Li, do you really plan to make me the next director?"

"That's for sure." Director Li nodded.

"Let's do this." Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes, "I'm impatient, and I'm also afraid of long nights and dreams, so I hope that next year at the latest, or when I solve the rectification crisis of the machinery factory, the factory can be self-sufficient. After turning losses into profits, I will be the director of the factory, can you make this promise?"

Director Li frowned: "Are you too anxious?"

"Don't be in a hurry." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "It's useless to just draw a big cake for me. What I want is a real promise and a real deadline, otherwise, I don't have time to continue to accompany you guys." Play the game of drawing cakes to satisfy hunger."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Well, it's a deal.

As long as you can guarantee that I will be able to become the director of the machinery factory next year, then I will make a shareholding reform at that time.

The specific plan is that the publishing house will become a joint-stock company, and then both you and Secretary Dong will take a stake in the publishing house in the form of personal dry shares, each with [-]% of the shares.

In this way, you are all formal shareholders, and you don't have to worry about me going back on my word and not giving you [-]% of the profit.

And [-]% of the shares, from the perspective of dividends, earn more than the so-called [-]% profit, don't you think? "

"Oh?" Director Li's eyes widened, "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

Factory Manager Li rubbed his chin: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss this matter with Old Dong.

Although it is a little hasty to let you be the factory manager next year, special circumstances will be treated specially.

Now that the factory is in crisis, if you can get the factory out of the crisis and have a certain prestige, and Lao Dong and I will push you together, it is not impossible.

But the premise is that you must be able to support the entire machinery factory, and let the machinery factory be responsible for its own profits and losses, without relying on government financial subsidies.

If you can't do this, without this great achievement, without the support of the cadres and workers in the factory, it will be useless for me and Lao Dong to recommend you.

Not to mention the two of us, even the big leader behind you, it's useless for him to come forward to recommend you. "

"Don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "As long as you can trust me as always, I can do it!"

"A word is settled!"

"A word is settled!"
