Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 426 Recruitment
Deputy factory director Niu is a practical man, and he settled all the details in less than three days.

The office of the director of the TV factory during the year.

Deputy factory director Niu put a document on Wang Weidong's desk: "Director Wang, this is the number of workers our TV factory needs. Take a moment, and if there are no special requirements, I will start recruiting workers." The recruited people have to be sent to Jincheng 712 factory for training."

Ever since he learned that Wang Weidong wanted workers to receive training before starting work, although Deputy Factory Director Niu felt that this was a bit of a fuss, but the factory director's order was still to be carried out, so Deputy Factory Director Niu contacted the former boss. Colleague, that colleague happens to be working as the workshop director at 712 Factory in Jincheng.

"Jincheng 712 Factory? That's one of the earliest TV factories in our country, and it can be regarded as a leader in the TV industry. Okay, Lao Niu, I knew you were a practical person." Wang Weidong He is always generous with compliments to his subordinates. You must know that people in this era pay more attention to face, and sometimes the effect of spiritual rewards is better than material rewards.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Deputy Factory Manager Niu's cheeks instantly turned rosy, and he straightened up all of a sudden.

"This is what I should do! When you reopen the TV factory, you can think of me, Lao Niu, and I, Lao Niu, will definitely live up to your expectations."

Wang Weidong casually picked up the file.

There are 20 inspection workers, 300 production line workers, and 30 logistics workers. There are always more than 500 people.

The number of people seems small, but the preparation of the TV factory has a process, and these people are more than enough to run the first batch of production lines.

Seeing Wang Weidong's satisfied expression, Deputy Factory Manager Niu felt relieved, and said in a low voice, "If there are no other questions, I'll post the recruitment notice later, and then contact the former old employees to see if they Willing to come back."

That's what he said, but Deputy Factory Director Niu didn't have a clue in his heart.

Although the TV factory has reopened, but not a single TV has been produced. In the eyes of most people, it is still a mess, and it may be closed at any time.

Those people have been away from the TV factory for a long time, and most of them have been assigned to other state-owned factories. Now it is wishful thinking to ask them to give up their original jobs and return to the TV factory.

Only temporary workers like Liu Shitou who have never found a job will wait anxiously.

Wang Weidong also saw the clue from Niu's deputy factory manager's expression. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said, "Old Niu, do you think this is okay? Let's go to the TV station and introduce our TV factory, maybe it will attract people. More great talent."

He originally planned to advertise on TV, but then thought of the saying that there are no advertisements in this era, so he had no choice but to give up.

"On TV? That's a good relationship!" Deputy Factory Manager Niu couldn't close his mouth with joy. How did the young man in front of him come up with such a good idea!
Afterwards, after thinking about it, he felt that there was something wrong, and said slowly: "Director, that TV is not accessible to ordinary people, there is only one TV station in Ningzhou City, even if you are an ordinary leader, you have no chance to show your face. "

"If there is no opportunity, we will create an opportunity!"

Wang Weidong smiled faintly, he had already thought of a way.

In fact, besides recruiting workers, being on TV has another major benefit, which is to make the Lanhua TV Factory famous. These days, regional protection is still very serious. If a product wants to go to the whole country, it must have a strong base camp.

Nothing can add luster to Lanhua TV Factory like showing your face on the TV.

However, just as deputy director Niu worried, the TV station is not accessible to ordinary people.

So when the director of the TV station heard Wang Weidong's words, his face was in disbelief: "I, I, I, Director Liu, what good things are you thinking of! Do you know what unit our TV station is? Those who can appear on the TV are all leaders. True leadership!"

If Wang Weidong's hands were not tightly gripping his bicycle handlebars, he would have left a long time ago.

Facing the contempt and anger, instead of being angry, Wang Weidong laughed. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to the director: "Old Qin, Nemo is angry. I heard that your TV station has been working for half a year. No salary?"

"Hey, how do you know? Besides, whether we pay wages or not has nothing to do with you." Director Qin took the cigarette in his mouth, struck a match and took a deep breath.

Wang Weidong also lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of white mist, watching the continuous flow of people on the road.

"The janitor of our TV station, isn't it your old man? I heard what he said. Also, my sister-in-law hasn't let you go to bed for two months, right?"

The TV stations of this era are different from the TV stations of the later generations. There is no advertising revenue, no variety show sponsorship, and the only income in the station is the financial funds allocated by the above.

This model is naturally no problem in big cities like Beijing.But Ningzhou City is a small city, a small city with only two buses, and there is not much industry. Land sales are not allowed these days, so financial funds are naturally tight.

Every year, the limited funds must be closely allocated to those important departments.

For example, in the education department, the teachers really dare to listen to the lectures. At that time, the leaders above will have to face the angry parents.

As for the cold-water yamen of the TV station, there are no self-produced programs on weekdays, and all the TV programs of CCTV are rebroadcasted. Even if the broadcast is stopped, it will not attract too much attention, so the TV station cannot get enough funds every year.

".This old man, why are you talking about everything?" Director Qin felt ashamed when he heard that his family's old background had been exposed. He wished he could find a hole to drill in. He is also a leader, and the leaders of other units are popular. Drinking spicy food, he won't even return his salary, it's really embarrassing.

What's more serious is that among the hundreds of employees of the TV station, few of them can get full salary.

It’s better if the family members are in other units, and the family members can take on the burden of life. If the couple both work in the TV station, it will be troublesome.

Just now, Lao Wang and his wife were dragging him to complain that they hadn't been paid for more than half a year, and they couldn't afford to pay their son's school fees next month.

Although Director Qin fully promised that he would definitely solve the salary problem for one of them next month, he didn't have a clue in his heart.

He is well aware of how tight the financial resources of Ningzhou City are now.

Sometimes, he really would rather not be the head of the station.

Director Qin took a few deep breaths, settled his mood, and said coldly: "Comrade, if you are fine, I have to go back, so we won't talk much."

Just two steps away pushing the bicycle, he was stopped by Wang Weidong again: "Don't tell me, I have a good business with you."

"What good thing?"

"I'll pay your TV station a month's salary."

"Just kidding? Just you? Pay our TV station?" Director Qin looked at Wang Weidong like a monster: "There are more than 100 people in our TV station, and the monthly salary is more than 2000 yuan. Can you afford it?" You! Besides, your TV factory hasn’t reopened yet, where did you get the money from?”

"Don't worry about this." Wang Weidong took out a thick envelope from his pocket while speaking: "There is 600 yuan in it, which should be enough."

When Director Qin saw the thick pile of banknotes in the envelope, his eyeballs almost fell out of shock, this guy really has so much money!
Earlier, there were rumors that the city was not planning to reopen the TV factory, but the new director, Wang Weidong, rushed into the leader's office and dumped 1 yuan as wages for those retired workers.

Hearing this at the time, his first reaction was that this is not a fairy tale.

That's 1 yuan, who can have so much money!

Now that he saw the money in the envelope, he realized that he had made the mistake of sitting in a well and watching the sky.

However, Director Qin still didn't reach out to pick up the envelope, he knew that there is no free lunch in the world.

This is 600 yuan, and he or the TV station must pay a price.

Sure enough, Wang Weidong shook the envelope in his hand and said with a smile, "I want your TV station to advertise for our TV factory?"

"Advertisement?" Director Qin was stunned for a moment, and the hope in his eyes quickly disappeared: "You know about advertisements, which means that you have some cultural knowledge, but you should also know that advertisements are only available overseas, and our domestic TV stations do not allow them. Play ad."

Although he is eager for this money to solve the wage problem of employees, he dare not violate the regulations.

"Of course I know this rule." Wang Weidong said with a smile: "We can change the way, for example, if you bring someone to interview our TV factory, the interview program will be broadcast after 07:30 in the evening. We are not advertising , is a news program."

Director Qin froze for a moment, his eyes lit up immediately: "Hey, this is easy!"

Wang Weidong stuffed the envelope into his hand: "As long as the recorded program is broadcast on the TV station for a month, the money will belong to your TV station."

Director Qin rubbed the envelope and thought of another question: "In what name is this money given to our TV station. The higher-ups will definitely ask."

"That's needless to say, one of us is a TV station, the other is a TV factory, it must be a brotherhood unit!" Wang Weidong said.

"Yes, brother units should support each other." Director Qin nodded repeatedly.

In Ningzhou City, units sometimes form friendships and support each other.

Of course, the strength of this kind of support is generally relatively small, often a few bags of noodles, and a few bags of rice are enough to complete the task.

It was the first time that such a large amount of money was supported.However, the higher-ups also know the actual situation of the TV station, even if they think there is something tricky in it, they won't expose it.

If anyone dares to make trouble, he, Lao Qin, is not a porridge. He really dares to bring more than 100 employees to block the other party's door.

After the last doubt of Director Qin was dispelled, he unceremoniously sealed the envelope in his arms.

"When are you going to shoot this show?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, the production line will be shipped back immediately."

The two were chatting about the details, a slim, stylishly dressed girl was carrying a canvas bag embroidered with five-pointed stars, and was pushing a Flying Pigeon bicycle passing by.

"Exactly, Comrade Guan Tingting, please come here."

Master Qin waved at the girl.

The girl walked over pushing the bicycle, and said with a smile, "Director, what do you do?"

Director Qin pointed to Wang Weidong and introduced: "This is Comrade Liu Hongchang, the director of our TV factory. The TV factory is going to shoot a few episodes of the program. You have always been very impressed with the production of the program. This task is entrusted to you. .”

Director Qin pointed to the girl and introduced to Wang Weidong: "This is the pillar of our Ningzhou TV station, Comrade Guan Tingting, don't worry that Comrade Guan Tingting is young, but she is a talented student at Beijing Communication University."

"College student!" Wang Weidong stretched out his hand slowly: "Comrade Guan Tingting, please give me your advice in the future."

Guan Tingting was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she also stretched out her hand.

The two hands shook lightly, and then let go.

"Don't dare to be the director of a TV factory at a young age. Comrade Liu, you have a limitless future."

As she said that, taking advantage of Director Qin not paying attention, she muttered in a low voice: "I heard that your cucumbers are delicious."

Cucumber Wang Weidong's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat. How did Guan Tingting know that she was selling cucumbers.

He is cautious enough to do things by himself. In Ningzhou City, the only ones who really know that the peaches and cucumbers are made by him are the two brothers Liu Changshun and Liu Changyi, and the manager Liu Hong of the aquatic product company.

How does this girl know?

Her surname is Guan. And there is a Secretary Guan at the top. The reason why the TV factory can be reopened is the result of Secretary Guan's efforts to overcome all opinions.

Does this girl have something to do with Secretary Guan?

Numerous thoughts flashed through Wang Weidong's mind, and just as he was about to speak out, Director Qin spoke.

"Let's discuss this matter with you two young people. I have to go back and cook with my wife."

After speaking, he got on his bicycle and left.

As expected of a college graduate, Guan Tingting was not at all restrained. The two pushed their bicycles and walked side by side on the road.

"Director Liu, what program do you want to shoot, and do you have any specific requirements?"

Guan Tingting has been looking forward to this task for a long time.

When she was in Communication University, she not only studied broadcasting and hosting, but also studied program production.

At that time, her dream was to enter the capital TV station after graduation, to be a program producer, and to produce programs that ordinary people loved.

Unfortunately, when she was about to graduate, her mother was seriously ill. As the only child, Guan Tingting had to give up her dream and return to Ningzhou City.

Although after returning to Ningzhou City, she also joined the TV station and became a gold medal host in the TV station, but the producer's dream was completely shattered, because Ningzhou TV station is a relay TV station, only when there are meetings in the city, She will have the opportunity to show her face on TV.

Guan Tingting is naturally very excited to produce a program related to the TV factory, and she will host and produce it herself.

Wang Weidong recalled the TV programs in his previous life, and told Guan Tingting the general process.
