National Tide 1980

In fact, it is normal to have doubts.

Because even if it is a good thing, everyone is willing to do it.

But after all, no one has ever actually done it.

No one can say what difficulties will be encountered in the process.

Therefore, in a prudent and responsible manner, everyone has to figure out where problems are most likely to occur, so that we can nip them in the bud and truly implement this matter.

Otherwise, why hold this meeting? Isn’t that the purpose of meetings?

Not only did Ning Weimin fully understand this, but he had already considered all possible problems in advance.

When Director Li asked this question, he gave a pragmatic solution without stumbling at all.

"Well, the possibility you mentioned is a very critical issue. I think it can be done this way. Since we have raised the standard of toilet facilities, the management methods cannot be based on the past. We cannot point at the excrement workers of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau. Just flush and sweep with water pipes every day. We must also hire a special person to take charge, and our street must be responsible for management. We must set rules and regulations for him, reward him for doing well, and punish him for failing. In fact, capitalist countries also have public toilets, because they are There is a dedicated person in charge and it is very clean..."

After hearing this, Director Li immediately became speechless and fell into deep thought.

It's just that one problem has just been settled, but a new one has arisen.

Director Wei from Jingshan Street couldn't help chewing his teeth and complaining.

"Manager Ning, no matter how much you spend to build the toilet, it is a one-time deal after all, and there is always a certain amount. But hiring someone to take care of it requires long-term wages. This money will always be borne by the street from now on. , that is a burden to our street. You know the situation of our small factory. We cannot compare with these two street enterprises..."

Indeed, Ning Weimin knew how difficult the carton factory in Jingshan was.

It's really not to blame for Director Wei's ambiguity. After all, the strengths are different, and the person with the money is the one holding the money.

However, before he could speak, Director Niu, who was sitting next to him, waved his hand and reassured Director Wei.

"Old Wei, I know you have a weak foundation, and I'm worried about it. In fact, I'm similar to you. I have no money in my pocket and can't do anything. But since then, with the help of Manager Ning, our street has started a production cooperative again. , that’s a big difference.”

"Don't brag. It was really booming day by day, and the business was expanding day by day, so I no longer had to worry about sales. Now it is about to be expanded into a factory, and it is also going to have a hundred employees. As for Director Li, let alone , they were the first to become prosperous. That would have to feed hundreds of people."

"So I dare to say that as long as Manager Ning is willing to lend a hand to your street enterprise, it will definitely be good in the future. It won't be long before it will be like us. Why don't you just hire two more people? On the contrary, it can be better Let your street solve the work problem of two more people."

"You, relax. With the kind of person Manager Ning is, he won't make it difficult for you. If it's really difficult for you, just tell him directly. At worst, let him, a wealthy man, pay for it to help you support this. There are two of us, who gave him the idea..."

The last sentence is really unreasonable. Director Niu was just joking.

No one at the scene took it seriously, including Ning Weimin, everyone laughed in unison.

However, after laughing, what the three directors did not expect was that Ning Weimin agreed and made the joke come true.

"Since Director Niu thinks so highly of me, it doesn't make sense for me to shirk it. Director Wei, I understand all the difficulties you have, so let's just settle it like this. I will bear all the expenses."

"As for our street carton factory, I keep my word and will try my best to take care of it in the future. When you have more money and the economic situation improves, I will relieve myself of this burden."

What he said next was even more shocking and puzzling.

"I have only one request for you. You must take the lead in this matter before it can be carried out. If you do it well, it is your work achievement. It doesn't matter if you do it badly. Anyway, the toilet has to be used every day. We will learn from the situation according to the situation. Learn a lesson and try to make corrections slowly.”

"As for me, as I said before, I only want to contribute money and effort but not the limelight. I just want to help you get this thing done. Please don't mention me to the outside world and don't reveal it. Even if your superiors want to Understand the details, and you must downplay my role in this matter. Okay?"

Everyone was stunned at this moment and couldn't help but look at each other.

Finally, Director Li spoke.

"Weimin, you... you really confused me. Did I hear you right? Could it be that you... are you spending money in vain? This is a good thing, why do you have to cover it up? Just It is said that you are not seeking fame or profit, but want to promote your style, but can your company do it? Let’s not mention you personally, but you must mention your company, right?”

"Director Li, maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough, which caused you and everyone to misunderstand. This matter is actually paid for by me personally and has nothing to do with our company."

Ning Weimin smiled calmly.

But what he said completely confused the three chief directors. It would be an understatement to say that they were in a state of confusion.

"Ah! Are you paying for it personally?"

"This...this costs tens of thousands!"

"Ning... Manager Ning, is this a joke? Have you really thought about it?"

Good guy, all the senior directors couldn't sit still, they were all excited and frightened.

Even his eyes were a little worried, and he kept looking at Ning Weimin, fearing that something was wrong with his mind.

Ning Weimin quickly waved his hands to calm the mood of several people.

"Our company really can't have anything to do with this. As you guys think, our company is engaged in clothing, catering, and international brands. We strive to create a high-end image. Even if we want to stand out, we can't rely on donations. The toilet has a bad reputation! It will actually damage the image of our company."

"Similarly, it would be even more inappropriate for me to show off and become famous. After all, I am from Pierre Carton. Our company must think that my doing this will damage the company's image. Not to mention our government. , the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, would you like that?"

"Oh, I am an employee of a foreign-funded enterprise, and I personally contribute money to build toilets in the capital. Why am I so ignorant of the sky and the earth? Do I deliberately rely on having a few stinky money to make the government lose face? If I do this, it will lead to trouble. An unnecessary misunderstanding will cause some trouble. Only in the name of our street can everyone accept it and it will be good for everyone."

"As for my motivation, I really just want to do something practical within my ability. If it can make everyone's life more convenient and comfortable, that's enough."

"Frankly speaking, the places I go to now are more comfortable, and I no longer have to endure the pit-like toilets that are full of feces and urine and have a foul smell. But I can't keep watching my uncle Kang and his neighbors suffer from this. no?"

"I can't even think about it. If the old man really falls down one day, then I will regret it to death. So, since I can make some changes, but I haven't done it yet, what does it mean? I am still Human? I should have done this long ago."

"The same goes for you guys. You are all very kind to me and have helped me a lot. But since you are all public servants, I can't give you any generous gifts. It just so happens that if the toilet is repaired, you guys can go to work. It's good that I feel relaxed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all."

"Really, please don't misunderstand how enlightened I am, and don't think of me as a fool or a lunatic. In fact, many people did this in the past. Like Ding Deshan, the shopkeeper of 'Shundong Lai' , Tongrentang Lejia, there are so many of them.”

"It's just that some people build bathhouses, some add street lights for passers-by, and even organize fire brigades. And they don't have to put their names on it. They want everyone to know."

"My toilet repairs are incomparable with those of the older generation. It's just a child's play. The only thing I can barely mention is that I am as sincere as them. As my uncle Kang always said, be kind to others. See, it’s not true and kind. I don’t do this for any other reason than to make it convenient for others and myself. If I want to make everyone happy, that’s enough.”

Ning Weimin's words made the three directors nod frequently.

Especially the last sentence touched their souls and reached the bottom of their hearts.

Their expressions invisibly relaxed, and their eyes looked at Ning Weimin with a little more intimacy and appreciation.
