Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Although Cao Zhiqiang is young, he is the youngest among everyone present.

But as the actual founder and top leader of Hongguang Publishing House, coupled with the aura of being a famous poet, and the legendary background of having a big backstage, no one dares to underestimate Cao Zhiqiang.

But the most important thing is the jaw-dropping start.

Not long after the publishing house was founded, a phenomenal best-selling book was released, making the publishing house a lot of money.

This huge start is enough to make all the most picky people in the publishing house give it a big "F"!

In other words, without knowing it, Cao Zhiqiang established absolute prestige in the publishing house!

Under this prestige, even Zhou Huaien, the nominal president, is acting with his tail between his legs.

After all, compared to the brilliance created by Cao Zhiqiang, President Zhou really has no sense of existence.

You can't compare with background, you can't compare with talent, you can't compare with ability, you can't compare with anything except age, so what else can you compare with?

No need to compare, it would be better to continue having fun.

Therefore, although Cao Zhiqiang just came over and said with a relaxed smile that he was just stopping by to discuss something with everyone, no one dared to treat him casually.

Leaders can be casual, but subordinates must not be casual.

"Do you want to go to the conference room for a meeting?" Yu Deli asked seriously.

"No, no, no." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand with a smile, "I think the atmosphere here is quite good, so just chat with everyone here."

Upon hearing this, Yu Deli quickly said to everyone: "Have you heard that? Move the table quickly. The manager wants to chat with everyone here!"

As soon as Yu Deli finished speaking, the young men and women quickly took action.

The person who moved the table moved the table, the person who moved the chairs moved the chairs, and the person who poured the tea.

In less than three minutes, the desks were used to form a large long conference table, turning the editorial office into a conference room.

Well, it's just a rectangular table, with the delegates sitting at the head and the people on both sides making the kind of conference table and conference room.

It's not that Cao Zhiqiang didn't think about stopping it, but seeing how concerned everyone was, he consciously kept his mouth shut.

After turning the editorial office into a temporary conference room, Yu Deli invited Cao Zhiqiang to come over again and then took his seat.

Cao Zhiqiang was not polite and sat down on the upper seat. Then the others took their seats on both sides.

Yu Deli is still sitting first on the right.

However, the first person on the left is not President Zhou Huaien, but Niu Shufen, Sister Niu.

"Sister Niu." Cao Zhiqiang was the first to ask, "Where is President Zhou? Why haven't you seen him?"

Sister Niu laughed and said: "Lao Zhou went fishing and won't come today... Why, do you want him to come over?"

"No, no, no," Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "Just asking."

After that, Cao Zhiqiang looked down again and found that he only knew Niu Shufen among the elders, but he didn't know anyone else, and they were all young people in their early twenties.

"Eh? Sister Niu." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile again, "There are a few new faces here, why don't you introduce them?"

"Oh, okay." Sister Niu turned around and introduced with a smile, "This is Zhou Yingying."

When introduced here, the girl in her twenties and wearing yellow clothes immediately stood up and nodded to Cao Zhiqiang: "Hello, general manager, I am Zhou Yingying."

"Ah, sit down, sit down." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and pressed his hands.

At this time, Sister Niu explained: "She is Lao Zhou's cousin."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang immediately understood that it was Zhou Huai'en who got him involved again.

At this time, Sister Niu began to introduce the next young man: "This is Qian Desheng! Old Qian's third grandson."

The young man nodded shyly to Cao Zhiqiang: "Hello, general manager."

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.

"This is Chen Guangming, Lao Chen's sixth son."

"This is Liu Xiaofeng, Lao Zhou's eldest nephew."

"That is Zeng Meihua, my niece!"

Every time Sister Niu introduces someone, Cao Zhiqiang smiles and nods, saying okay.

Until the last Zeng Meihua.

By now, Cao Zhiqiang understands that the young people on the relationship side are the children and relatives of the elders.

This also made Cao Zhiqiang realize that the power structure of the publishing house must be strengthened as soon as possible.

In just a few days, so many people that I didn't know had arrived.

If we continue to let things go like this, won't things get chaotic in the future?

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he was too gentle before and acted as the shopkeeper of everything, and the publishing house suddenly became rich.

Because strictly speaking, Zhou Huaien, as the president, has the right to recruit people, while Sister Niu is also in charge of accounting and human resources.

Therefore, if Zhou Huaien and Niu Shufen have agreed to recruit someone, they do not need Cao Zhiqiang's consent at all.

The people on Yu Deli's side probably pretended that they didn't know about it because the matter was too trivial and they didn't need to get into conflict with others over such trivial matters.

For the children of these related families, it may be difficult to be organized, but if you just sign a contract worker, it is still very easy. Sister Niu can make the decision herself, not to mention Zhou Huaien.

But the problem is that they recruited everyone but did not notify themselves. This seems to mean that they will kill them first and then report them, or they do not take themselves seriously.

Sister Niu is also good at observing words and expressions. She seemed to see that although Cao Zhiqiang was smiling, his eyes were not warm, so she immediately explained:

"Mr. Cao, actually they just came today, just to get familiar with everyone.

Also, I originally wanted to tell you about this matter right away, but President Zhou said that you have a lot of things going on at home recently and are very busy. There is no need to bother you with such a trivial matter. Let me talk about it tomorrow.

So look, don’t pay attention!”

Cao Zhiqiang turned to look at the smiling Sister Niu, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing. We do not avoid relatives when we promote talents. It is an honor for our publishing house to have so many young pillars join us.

but……"

"But what?" Sister Niu asked.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly again: "However, our publishing house is a small temple after all. If you have such a thing in the future, you should ask me first.

If I'm really too busy and can't be contacted for the time being, you can also discuss it with Lao Yu. Wait until the discussion is completed. Wait, wait, wait for me to finish my work, and then talk to me. Wait for me to make a decision. Don't make decisions in private anymore. Okay.

What?"

Sister Niu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sneer: "I don't think it's good, but this is all agreed by Lao Zhou, no, President Zhou."

"President Zhou agreed." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "In that case, from now on, President Zhou's new recruits will have the same salary as President Zhou, okay?"

Sister Niu sneered again: "Well, that's not good, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes and smiled: "That's not good. How about I go find Factory Director Li and Secretary Dong and transfer President Zhou away? And Sister Niu, do you want to go with us?"

As soon as these words came out, you could hear a pin drop.

After half a minute, Cao Zhiqiang spoke again to break the silence: "Anyway, if the publishing house wants anyone to come in from now on, I must sign it in person. Anyone without my signature will not be counted."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at the anxious young people behind Sister Niu and frowned slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang smiled gently at the young people who came in through the back door: "You don't have to be afraid. I said that from now on, you can forget it. After all, it was my negligence and I cannot let you take responsibility.

However, you can only work as contract workers in our publishing house. As for what happens in the future, it depends on your performance.

I am a very simple person. I always treat people equally and put the most capable ones first.

I don't care how you got in, but you'd better be more attentive when you work in the future.

Arriving late, leaving early, and doing nothing will not work here.

Don't talk about people like Lao Zhou and Lao Qian.

Those people are different.

They have a formal establishment and their files are in the factory. If I can't do well here, I can find another place to do it, but that's not the case with you.

Of course, although I can't give you a formal establishment here, I can't give you high wages either.

But the bonus here is high.

As long as you do well, you can achieve results.

I have never been shy about promotions when they should be promoted and rewards when they should be rewarded.

In short, since you are here, do your best and don't entertain the idea of ​​just messing around.

If you have this idea, you should leave as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment in the end, do you understand?"

"Understood." The young people replied in unison.

"Louder." Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "I can't hear you!"

"Understood!" The young people immediately shouted together.

"Very good." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, "You look a bit like a young man now."

After knocking on the group of elders who used the back door, Cao Zhiqiang stretched himself and said, "Okay, that's enough gossip, let's talk about something serious."

Everyone was sitting upright and no longer dared to smile playfully.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Comrades, although our publishing house has only been established for a short time, our achievements are already obvious to all.

According to the current momentum, if nothing unexpected happens, by next month, our publishing house will be able to make a gross profit of over one million."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't restrain their excitement immediately, especially the people on Yu Deli's side, who couldn't help but start whispering to each other.

After all, it has only been established for one month and has made a gross profit of one million. There are not many such units.

The key is that there are not many people in this unit. If we look at Cao Zhiqiang's usual generosity, the bonus afterwards will be indispensable.

"Quiet." Cao Zhi pressed his hand.

After everyone was quiet, Cao Zhiqiang said: "Although the funds from Xinhua Bookstore have not yet been settled, we have already received a lot of cash through our own channels.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that our publishing house needs to reform."

After a short pause, he realized that everyone was still looking at him and listening quietly, before Cao Zhiqiang continued:

"I've thought about it. I'm usually too busy and have almost no time to do anything. If I continue to do what I did in the past, I'll probably lose sight of the other.

Just like today's situation, it is likely to happen again."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Sister Niu.

When Sister Niu lowered her head in embarrassment, Cao Zhiqiang said no more, but continued to turn to look at Yu Deli and said: "Lao Yu, do you know any retired publishing house presidents? Or retired magazine presidents, or

Or the director of a printing factory."

Yu Deli frowned: "Well, Mr. Cao, what do you mean?"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "That's right, I want to hire some retired presidents or factory directors who are experienced and in good health to lead this publishing house instead of me.

In other words, I will no longer be concerned with specific operations in the future, and will only focus on the general direction and provide excellent works.

As for the specific management, leave it to professionals.

Unfortunately, as you know in China, most of the people with management experience are leaders of state-owned enterprises or government agencies and institutions. I probably can’t hire those people.

So, I would like to ask, do you know any retired cadres who have leadership experience and are familiar with the publishing and magazine industries?

If there are such retired cadres, they can be hired as deputy general managers to manage the publishing house for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Niu suddenly said: "Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao?"

"Sister Niu?" Cao Zhiqiang turned his head and said strangely, "Are you okay?"

Sister Niu said: "Mr. Cao, I understand what you mean. You want to find someone to help you take care of things, right?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Why, do you have a good introduction?"

"That's right." Sister Niu said, "Have you forgotten the predecessor of our Hongguang Publishing House? It was the Hongguang Magazine Department!"

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Of course I haven't forgotten it, but what next?"

Sister Niu said: "That's right, the old director of our magazine department is retired at home now. Since you want to find an experienced leader, we can invite the old director back."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "I don't think this is necessary."

Sister Niu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Yes, you are the leader, you have the final say."

After a pause, Sister Niu said unwillingly: "But the general manager, the old director is indeed very capable. When he led our magazine department, it was also prosperous for a while.

Now the old director is retired at home. It is said that he is in good health and is fully qualified for the deputy general manager position you mentioned.

I don’t have any other meaning, I just think why should we seek the distance instead of the near?

Since the old minister is still here, let him come."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said: "First of all, I don't know much about the old minister you mentioned, and I don't have any feelings for it. Secondly..."

After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while, and then decided to speak out.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said: "Sister Niu, I didn't want to say it originally, but now that the matter has come to this point, I have to explain some things clearly.

In fact, you people come to me just to support your retirement. This is why I agreed to let you come to our publishing house in the first place.

To put it bluntly, for the sake of Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li, I took you people here to provide for your retirement.

It’s okay to provide for you in your old age, but you should also be wise and don’t be too self-righteous.

I gave Lao Zhou some face before, just because he was older and I wanted to respect him.

As for letting you be the accountant and human resources officer, apart from the fact that there are currently no suitable candidates, it is also because you were the first to receive me when I first joined the Hongguang magazine department. I miss your friendship with me.

However, you can't just take these and mess around on my territory.

Look, it’s only been a few days, and you’ve recruited people without my consent?

I am not pursuing these matters for the time being just for your sake, but it does not mean that I am happy."

Having said this, Cao Zhiqiang turned to look at Zhang Qianjin: "Zhang Qianjin!"

"Yes!" Zhang Qianjin, who was sitting in the corner, immediately stood up and said, "General manager, are you calling me?"

"Lao Zhang!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "You will explain to Sister Niu later. From now on, you will take on the accounting role of the publishing house first."

"Ah?" Zhang Qianjin was stunned, "I work in finance?"

"Temporary!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "You work on a temporary basis first! Haven't you been self-employed before? How about basic accounting? That's it, you do it first, and I will wait until I find a professional to do it for you.

.”

Zhang Qianjin grinned: "Okay, then I'll listen to you!"

Sister Niu finally came to her senses at this time: "You, Cao, Xiao Cao, what are you doing?"

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Sister Niu, I think your work is too hard, let me help you share it. Oh, by the way, Zhao Shouwen!"

"Yes!" Zhao Shouwen stood up immediately, "General Manager!"

Cao Zhiqiang said to Zhao Shouwen: "In this way, you will be responsible for the personnel affairs of the unit from now on. Is there any problem?"

Zhao Shouwen was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed: "No problem, absolutely no problem, I will definitely live up to the trust of the leader!"

Peng!

Sister Niu suddenly slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Cao Zhiqiang's nose, and said angrily: "How dare you, surnamed Cao?"

Cao Zhiqiang glanced at Sister Niu who stood up and pointed at his nose, and sighed softly.

"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

After saying this, Cao Zhiqiang looked around, and then said to Liu Donghai: "Donghai, Sister Niu is tired, take her down to rest."

"Who dares?" Sister Niu got mad, "I wonder which of you dares?"

Liu Donghai, who was walking towards her, immediately stopped and looked at Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin: "That's it, I understand, it was not in compliance with the rules just now."

After clearing his throat, Cao Zhiqiang said to everyone present: "Well, there are a lot of people today, let's take a vote.

I believe that Comrade Niu Shufen is no longer suitable to continue to hold accounting and human resources positions in Hongguang Publishing House due to physical factors. I suggest that Comrade Niu Shufen be removed from accounting and human resources positions.

Which of you is in favor and who is against?

If you object, please raise your hands!”

As soon as Cao Zhiqiang finished speaking, everyone except Sister Niu was still standing.

No one else, including the young men who came in through the back door, raised their hands.

"Very good, the vote passed." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said to Sister Niu: "Comrade Niu Shufen, now the organization has decided to stop all your duties in the publishing house, and you can clean up your own things and do what you have to do. Don't make it too ugly."

"You dare!" Sister Niu's face turned red, "Why? Why do you do it?"

"Just because I am the general manager of this publishing house!" Cao Zhiqiang glanced sideways at Sister Niu, "Just because I have the final say here!"

"Sister Niu, if you are dissatisfied, you can complain to the higher-level departments of our publishing house, namely Director Li and Secretary Dong.

But don’t blame me for not saying the ugly things earlier.

If you are submissive and obedient now, I can continue to support you. You will not be short of salary and bonus at all. All you need is your white-collar salary, and don't worry about anything else.

In other words, if you don't continue to make trouble, you and I will just have internal conflicts, which can be reduced to minor issues.

But if you continue to make trouble, you will really make trouble with Factory Director Li and Secretary Dong.

I'm sorry, at that time, in order to establish my prestige, and also for the sake of my reputation with the publishing house, I can only apply to Secretary Dong to transfer you from the publishing house and let you go to a quiet yamen in the factory to quiet down.

I'm not scaring you, I'm just kindly informing you, don't be ungrateful!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed again when looking at Niu Shufen, whose eyes were dull.

"Actually, I didn't want to do this, but you guys went too far.

How many days has my publishing house been established?

How dare you do this under my nose?

It's obvious that he doesn't take me seriously.

Now you dare to recruit people privately.

Next time, I will dare to use public money privately to engage in corruption.

Your behavior, to say the least, disrespects me.

To put it more seriously, you are trying to rebel against me!

So, let’s get together and have a good time.

Do you think so, Sister Niu?"
