Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Although Cao Zhiqiang's attitude is very "refined and easy-going", his tone is also very good.

But after being reprimanded by Yu Deli before, the somewhat young and energetic Zhao Shouwen also came back to his senses and felt that there was indeed something wrong with what he had done before.

Just kidding, this is a good job where the salary during the internship period is as high as 30 yuan a month, and the internship period is only one month. After becoming a full-time employee, the salary can be as high as 50 yuan a month.

And what did he do before?

He is just an educated youth from the countryside who has finally returned to the capital after losing all his strength.

After returning to the capital, his parents begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, so they had to kneel down and found a temporary job as a warehouse guard in a small magazine.

There, he did hard work, but his monthly salary was only sixteen yuan!

When he came in, he said he would become a full-time employee in three years, but he has been working diligently for four years. He is now over twenty-seven years old and is about to turn thirty. He is still a temporary worker.

These days, it’s so easy to convert an employer into a regular employee.

Formal positions are a carrot and a pit. Others have taken all the positions, and the superiors do not approve new places. Naturally, there is no channel for the interns below to become regular workers.

If you want to become a full-time employee, unless someone above him retires or leaves his job voluntarily, it's really a long way to go.

Because of this situation, he wanted to change his way of life and resolutely followed Yu Deli to change jobs here.

The act of job-hopping is still considered a kind of betrayal in China in this era, and it is quite despised.

In fact, voluntary job-hopping behavior is not bad.

But if he is fired soon after he switches jobs here, then it won't be a question of whether he can make it in this industry, but that he will always be branded as "unreliable" in his file.

If this is the case, if he wants to work in another unit in the future, no one will reuse him.

It's just that people's tempers and habits are difficult to change.

When Zhao Shouwen was in his original employer, although his salary was low, he lived a happy life.

As long as you get to get off work on time, don't be late and absent from work, and do your job well, no one will care about you.

Usually everyone is playing cards or chess in the warehouse, but he doesn't like playing cards or chess, he just likes to read and write.

He also likes to submit articles to various magazines. For example, he submitted poems to poetry magazines and had them published.

It was the publication in Poetry Magazine that made him meet editor Yu Deli and gave him the opportunity to change jobs.

Therefore, he respected Yu Deli very much and did not dare to offend him.

However, precisely because of his past work status, he has no respect for his leader, let alone respect.

Even if the leader comes in person, he will do what he is supposed to do and say what he is supposed to say.

Damn it, seventeen yuan a month, and that doesn’t include food and accommodation, how do you want me to respect you?

However, if it is thirty yuan a month and becomes fifty yuan a month after becoming a regular employee, then...

"Sorry, General Manager!"

After some inner struggle, Zhao Shouwen immediately stood up, put his hands together, and bowed deeply at 90 degrees to Cao Zhiqiang: "General Manager, I was wrong. Please forgive me for my recklessness this time!"

This sudden move immediately stunned Cao Zhiqiang.

After being quiet for a while, Cao Zhiqiang finally came to his senses and said with an annoyed smile:

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, I'm asking you sincerely, and I hope you can answer it well. You suddenly acted like this, which makes me very embarrassed. People who don't know may think I'm saying something sarcastic, hahaha."

Following Cao Zhiqiang's laughter, the originally silent office immediately burst into laughter. It was obvious that everyone was echoing Cao Zhiqiang.

In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang was also a little helpless.

How come this small publishing house that just opened with a dozen people has so many problems and behaves like the Japanese and Korean workplaces?

It seems that the working atmosphere at Yu Deli's previous publishing house was not like this, right?

Well, Cao Zhiqiang really doesn't understand this atmosphere.

The real reason for this kind of atmosphere is that he gave too much.

Nowadays, the average salary of most people is very low, even for positions in public institutions such as magazine editors.

For units like publishing houses and magazines, the real spring came after the second half of 1984.

Before this, most publishing houses and magazines were actually half-dead, relying on financial allocations.

But today's country has not yet undergone tax reforms such as the tax-sharing system, and the government's finances are in dire straits.

Therefore, the income of public institutions that rely on financial allocations can be imagined.

You will know this when you look at the current miserable situation of the Peking Architectural Design Institute, which was once very powerful and later became very powerful.

Therefore, during this period, employees in cultural publishing units such as publishing houses and magazines had very low incomes, even lower than workers.

Moreover, the working hours of interns in public institutions are not generally long. Three years and three years are the basic time. There are many people who have worked as interns for ten years.

This is nowhere near as good as a factory.

The 1980s, overall, was still the era when factory wages were the best.

For government agencies and public institutions to really become powerful, it would only be after the 1990s.

After laughing, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly lowered his face and stared at Zhao Shouwen without saying a word.

As Cao Zhiqiang became serious, everyone who was laughing in agreement fell silent like a duck whose neck was suddenly pinched.

This is not like filming, no one has given a script in advance, but it is really done consciously.

It was such a turning point that made Cao Zhiqiang realize that the kind of harmonious and friendly relationship he wanted to have with these people would not work.

Because he already has a natural gap with these people.

After all, these people were not familiar with him. They were either recruited by Yu Deli or sent by the old factory. Their purpose was to make a living with him, not to be friends with him.

After understanding this, Cao Zhiqiang no longer smiled playfully, but looked seriously at Zhao Shouwen, who was a little pale: "Zhao Shouwen, don't play with me like this!

Just tell me honestly, if you want us to plagiarize a book by a great Hong Kong writer, what should we do if they sue us for copyright infringement?"

Zhao Shouwen was stunned and looked at Yu Deli subconsciously.

As a result, before Yu Deli spoke this time, Cao Zhiqiang slapped the table first: "What are you looking at? I am the general manager, and I am the one who pays the money! Do you understand that I am your food, clothing, and parent? Hurry up and answer honestly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shouwen looked at Cao Zhiqiang again: "General Manager, you, you really don't know?"

"I know why I'm asking you?" Cao Zhiqiang continued with a serious look on his face, "I'm asking you because I don't know. Otherwise, why would I need you? Even the emperors in ancient times couldn't be omniscient and omnipotent, right?"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang frowned deliberately and impatiently: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, answer stupidly, or get out! Don't forget, you are only a temporary worker now!"

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Zhao Shouwen took a deep breath: "General Manager, then I will tell the truth.

Well, actually even if we plagiarize, no, borrow novels from Hong Kong and Taiwan writers and publish them, there won't be any problems, and no one will sue us.

In other words, it’s useless even if you sue us! It won’t have any impact on us.”

"Why?" Cao Zhiqiang asked, "I remember that all their works are protected by copyright law?"

Zhao Shouwen smiled: "Yes, they may have some copyright protection over there, but that is overseas law.

How can overseas laws control our inland people?"
