Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 396 What I want is not to do my best, but to promise to do it!

"What? Go to Japan?" Xu Qingdong was stunned when he heard the news, "Do you have Japanese relatives?"

"No." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "My roots are red, I was born and raised here, so I don't have any Japanese relatives."

"This, this is impossible?" Xu Qingdong frowned, "You have no relatives in Japan, how can you go to Japan?"

"How strange?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Without Japanese relatives, you can't go abroad?"

"It's impossible." Xu Qingdong continued to frown, "There's no reason, no relatives, how did you go abroad?"

Indeed, during this period, there was no concept of self-funded outbound travel, only the concept of private outbound travel.

Even if you go abroad for personal reasons, it's a concept that only existed this year.

However, although in 1983, that is, in March of this year, the country just opened up the policy, and ordinary people can also go abroad at their own expense, but this kind of self-funded going abroad is also conditional, and it is limited to people with overseas relatives .

If you have no overseas relatives, you also cannot go abroad at your own expense, even if you have money.

Therefore, if Cao Zhiqiang had no Japanese relatives, it would be impossible to go to Japan at his own expense at this time. Even if he went to Japan to study, it would not be that simple, unless he was smuggled.

But it is impossible for Cao Zhiqiang to smuggle.

For no other reason than it's not worth it.

Because smuggling is a crime at this time, basically they will never return, and Cao Zhiqiang is so good in the country, how could he do such a thing?
Of course, there are other ways too.

For example, in Shenzhen, there are some scalpers who specialize in helping people leave the country at this time. They can help you with private departure by identifying false relatives in Xiangjiang. Do it, open your eyes and close your eyes, and basically never return, it is also not suitable for Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang's household registration is in the capital city. If he wants to leave the country at this time, he can only go to the foreign affairs office where the capital city is located to handle the exit matters. It is impossible to go to Shenzhen for processing, unless he first transfers his household registration to Shenzhen.

Wait, other than that, there is no way to go abroad.

In other words, there is a more convenient way to go abroad more easily.

Suddenly, Xu Qingdong blinked, and suddenly said: "Oh, I understand, you didn't go abroad at your own expense? You, you went abroad at public expense?"

"Hahaha!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, "Of course!"

That's right, Cao Zhiqiang's trip to Japan next month will really be going abroad at public expense, or going abroad on business.

In fact, in China during this period, it is really difficult for ordinary people to go abroad.

Even if the private exit policy is launched this year, ordinary people can go abroad.

But first, the restrictions are very strict. You must have relatives overseas and have money in your hands;

So even for Cao Zhiqiang, no matter how rich he is, it is basically impossible for him to take the road of leaving the country for private reasons, at least this year, because he does not meet the requirement of having overseas relatives.

However, if it is not a private departure, it becomes a business trip, and it is different.

To put it simply, during this period, if you want to go abroad for investigation or business negotiation at public expense in the name of a state-owned enterprise or government agency, you can go abroad, but you must go to the local foreign affairs office in the name of your unit. After a series of tedious application and review.

But even so, it's not that easy.

After all, there are many state-owned enterprises and government agencies. As long as you are a leader in this period, who would not want to travel abroad at public expense in the name of going abroad for inspection.

Therefore, the foreign affairs offices in various places actually receive a lot of applications for going abroad every year, but not many of them are actually approved.

In other words, even if you are a state-owned enterprise, government agency or institution, you are the leader of your unit, and your unit has money, then if you want to go abroad, it is not so easy. level inspection.

The first one is political review.

The political examination is to check your innocence, to see if you have the intention of leaving the country and fleeing.

Those who fail the political examination, such as those who have committed crimes themselves, or those whose immediate family members have committed crimes, are of course not allowed to go abroad.

The second is to look at your health.

Well, this health means good health in name, as long as you don’t have any diseases.

But there is actually an implicit condition here, which is whether you are old enough or not.

Generally speaking, during this period, those under the age of 30, without special circumstances, are not approved.

Because there is a saying in this period that young people under the age of 30 are not qualitative enough. After seeing the prosperity outside, it is easy to go abroad and not come back, especially after several incidents of young people who went abroad for business and did not come back. , the card is even stricter.

Therefore, unless you are a special person such as a translator or a technician, or your rank and position are high enough, and your background is large enough, such as the children of high-ranking cadres, otherwise young people under the age of 30 are generally not allowed to go abroad for inspection at public expense.

The above two conditions are actually easy for most people. What is really difficult is the third condition, which is to have an invitation letter from a relevant foreign unit.

That's right, at least in the early 80s, it was not so easy to travel abroad at public expense in the name of going abroad for inspection or business negotiation.

Generally speaking, you have to have an invitation letter from a relevant foreign unit.

For the invitation letter from a relevant foreign unit, you can’t just do it by anyone, at least it must be a formal invitation letter issued by a foreign company or group that has been certified by the embassy.

It is this invitation letter from relevant foreign units that has blocked [-]% of state-owned enterprises and institutions, making it impossible for most units to go abroad for inspection easily.

Of course, in the middle and late 80s, or after [-], this condition was relaxed a lot.

At that time, there will be many foreign companies specializing in this business, and they will issue invitation letters to various domestic units in various names, inviting domestic units to go out for tourism and consumption in the form of public inspections. This is a later story.

In short, in [-], it was quite difficult to study abroad as an employee of a state-owned enterprise, because the censorship was extremely strict.

But no matter how difficult it is to go abroad at public expense, it is much easier than going abroad privately, and the difficulty is not an order of magnitude.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he happened to meet the conditions to go abroad.

First of all, he is an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and he owns more than one state-owned enterprise.

Cao Zhiqiang currently has many positions, from top to bottom, they are the deputy director of the Third Industry Office of Hongguang Machinery Factory, the president and general manager of Hongguang Publishing House, the major shareholder and general manager of Huaxia Audio-Visual Company, the major shareholder of Hongguang Department Store, the Light Film Studio Director.

In addition to his position, Cao Zhiqiang has another level, that is, the status of a cadre.

Because Dong Shuji had already used the name of the Organization Department of Hongguang Machinery Factory to work for Cao Zhiqiang and became a 23rd-level cadre.

In terms of rank, Cao Zhiqiang's cadre level is only level 23 cadres, which is the same as the level assigned to the unit of a college student who has just graduated.

But in terms of position, Cao Zhiqiang's position is much higher. He is not only the senior leader of Hongguang Machinery Factory, but also the leader of many subordinate units.

This kind of position does not match the rank, and the position is high and the rank is low, or the position is low and the rank is high. Although it is not particularly common during this period, there are many.

The so-called parallel linking of positions and ranks is something that has been reformed later, specifically, after the 90s.

During this period, the positions in state-owned enterprises mainly refer to leadership positions. To be precise, they refer to the power you have, which has nothing to do with your salary.

For example, factory director, this is a position, not a rank.

During this period, the position is the power you actually have, and the rank is directly linked to your salary.

In other words, job title is not the same as rank.

It's like a factory manager, although his position has great power, but if his rank is too low, it is entirely possible that his salary is not as good as that of an ordinary sixth-level fitter.

The so-called job allowances only appeared after the third wage reform in 1985, and they did not exist in 1983.

Therefore, although Cao Zhiqiang has a lot of high-level positions now, it can only be said that he has a lot of power, and those who can do more work, but when it comes to his level specifically, he is only a 23rd-level administrative cadre.

The result is that the salary he gets is still the salary of a 23rd-level cadre, and no matter how many units he personally controls, he can only get salary once a month and cannot get it repeatedly.

In other words, even though Cao Zhiqiang controls many units, such as publishing houses, audio-visual companies, and film factories, he can only get the salary of a 23rd-level cadre every month. This salary is paid by the machinery factory. Other units, such as publishing houses And so on, you can no longer pay wages.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't only eat salary, he can also eat shareholder dividends, manuscript remuneration, records, and unit bonuses.

Not to mention the dividends, this unit bonus, he can get it repeatedly in various units under him, because the bonus is different from the salary, and it is not strictly according to your level.

That is to say, if Cao Zhiqiang is willing, he can get a bonus once a month from Hongguang Publishing House, Huaxia Audio and Video Company once, Hongguang Department Store once, and Hongguang Film Factory once a month.

As for the bonus, it really depends on the leadership of the unit. It has no direct relationship with the rank. It mainly depends on the level of the position and the effectiveness of the unit.

Therefore, before the wage reform, bonuses are the best supplement.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang is not so ugly, there is no need to get a salary from the unit he controls.

Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and no bonus will be taken, which will not delay Cao Zhiqiang's money at all.

Because the units that Cao Zhiqiang fully controls are currently either in the form of joint ventures with Cao Zhiqiang personally, or in the form of contracted operations by Cao Zhiqiang himself. In theory, the money of those units belongs to him.

The first is the contracting business model.

This currently refers to the two units of Hongguang Publishing House and Hongguang Film Studio.

For contracting operation, as long as Cao Zhiqiang pays a part of the money to the owner, that is, the machinery factory, then the specific operation and management have nothing to do with the machinery factory. Cao Zhiqiang’s profit is his own, which is the kind allowed by the law.

After all, the company law has not yet been issued, so the contracted operation is theoretically no different from your leasing operation. During the lease period, whether you earn more or less is all yours, and there is basically no distinction between public and private accounts, which belong to the contractor. .

Followed by stock cooperation, joint venture business model.

This currently refers to the two units of Hongguang Department Store and Huaxia Audiovisual Company.

In these two companies, Cao Zhiqiang himself has 40.00% of the shares and is the largest individual shareholder. The other shareholder is Hongguang Machinery Factory.

There is no company law now, but there are relevant regulations on joint ventures, such as public-private partnerships.

For a public-private joint venture like this, if the state-owned enterprise unit accounts for 50.00% of the shares, then this is a state-owned enterprise, and it must be classified according to the nature of the state-owned enterprise.

However, according to the rules of public-private partnerships, private shareholders are required to receive fixed dividends every year. This dividend is calculated according to the profit of the company. The higher the profit, the more dividends.

Or you need to ask, why did Cao Zhiqiang go to such lengths to set up a joint venture?Isn't it good to contract all of them?
Of course not, the reason is that the nature is different.

The units contracted by Cao Zhiqiang all have particularly strict approvals and additional management units.

For example, Hongguang Publishing House is under the supervision of the Publishing Bureau, while Hongguang Film Studio is under the management of the Film Bureau.

It is equivalent to saying that Hongguang Publishing House and Hongguang Film Studio are a cross-unit model, the management unit is a state-owned enterprise, and the management unit is the government.

Units of this nature are currently not allowed to engage in joint-stock or public-private partnerships, so they can only be contracted.

On the contrary, Hongguang Department Store and Hongguang Audiovisual Company are different units.

Let's talk about Hongguang Department Store first. This company is a subsidiary of Hongguang Machinery Factory, which means that the management unit is Hongguang Machinery Factory, and the management unit is also Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Hongguang Audio-Visual Company is a little bit special. It is also a subsidiary of Hongguang Machinery Factory. The management unit is Hongguang Machinery Factory, but the management unit is Hongguang Publishing House!
That's right, at present, units like audio-visual companies that produce records have a special nature and a vague positioning. In fact, they only need to be supervised by the publishing house, and they don't need to be supervised by the publishing bureau.

Therefore, those that do not need direct government supervision can directly engage in shareholding or joint ventures, while those that require direct government supervision can engage in contracted operations.

The reason is that the risk of contracting operations is greater.

Because to put it bluntly, contracting is like renting a house. The unit is still owned by others, and it is only leased to you temporarily. When they don’t want to rent it to you, they can take it back at any time.

On the contrary, the shareholding system of the public-private partnership is different. The shares are protected by law, and after the reform of corporatization in the future, they can be transformed into private companies at any time.

Therefore, whenever a joint-stock system can be established, Cao Zhiqiang is the first to implement the joint-stock system, and contracted the operation when there is no other way.

Having said that, the current Cao Zhiqiang forwarded an official invitation through the Japanese embassy in China to the Huaxia Audiovisual Company managed by Cao Zhiqiang in the name of his father's company, Sada Planning Club, through Masashi Sada of Japan. letter.

This invitation letter is for Sada Planning Club to conduct an international exchange and cooperation in music with A Qiang, the general manager of Huaxia Audiovisual Company and contracted artist, in the name of Sino-Japanese friendship.

The name is tall, the process is also in line with the standard, and Cao Zhiqiang is familiar with all the leaders in the capital. Through friends, he found the staff of the Beijing Foreign Affairs Office and passed the application easily.

Now, Cao Zhiqiang has even obtained a passport, but it is not so easy to go abroad. Even if all the procedures are completed, he still needs to queue up, so Cao Zhiqiang's time to go abroad is set for next month.

This is already very fast, and I still found an acquaintance.

If I didn't find acquaintances, it would be absolutely impossible to pass the application for going abroad so quickly and go abroad next month.

"In short, I will go to Japan next month. This is a planned thing and cannot be changed."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Xu Qingdong with a serious face: "So, we must finish filming this movie within this month, at least the part where I appear in the scene must be finished, understand?"

"In this case, there are only more than 20 days." Xu Qingdong frowned, "Time is a bit tight."

"Can't the filming be finished in more than 20 days?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly.

Xu Qingdong frowned: "Okay, I'll do my best!"

"What I want is not to do my best, but to guarantee it!" Cao Zhiqiang said earnestly, "Old Xu, I believe in you, and I will definitely be able to do it!"
