Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 401 To prevent unexpected events, I want to nip them in the bud!

Two days later, the Peking Youth Daily published Cai Ling's exclusive interview with Cao Zhiqiang, titled "Work is the highest honor, the self-choice of a liberal arts champion!"

After reading this report, Cao Zhiqiang felt emotional and felt that the person mentioned in it had nothing to do with him.

When I was young and ignorant, I was forced to go astray. Because of my mother's death, I suddenly realized that the prodigal son turned around.

Then I have to work hard and study hard. I also take good care of my sister. I am always willing to help others and do good deeds every day. I am just a living person.

That's all. The key point is that after taking the college entrance examination, I obviously got good grades, but I didn't fill in my college application. Instead, I wrote "work hard and build the motherland" on it.

The reason for this is because this living person feels that it is more important to continue working with peace of mind than going to college, because in this case, he can use practical actions to serve the motherland.

He also wants to use this kind of deed to tell everyone that young people are not the only way to go to college, nor is it the only way for young people to better serve the motherland.

As long as you are down-to-earth and do your best, you can contribute to the construction of socialism and realize your own value.

However, the purport of this article in the newspaper was different from Cai Ling's original purport.

Although this article in the newspaper also contains Cai Ling's "interview" content, the comments have been changed.

The focus of the entire article is no longer how excellent Cao Zhiqiang himself is, but that Cao Zhiqiang ranked first in the city but gave up his real purpose of going to college.

To put it bluntly, this article is to warn young people not to use whether they can get into college as the only criterion for measuring personal value. The key is to be down-to-earth and do what they can. They should find a job as soon as possible and don't be idle at home all day long.

.

As long as you can find a job and work hard, you are still building the motherland and realizing your personal value.

Obviously, this is using the fact that Cao Zhiqiang became the top scorer in the college entrance examination but gave up going to college to guide social trends.

Because during this year, due to the serious shortage of jobs in the city, a large number of young people who went to the countryside returned to the city, resulting in a large number of idle people with nothing to do in society.

Many young people are just like Cao Zhiqiang. They don't go to school or work. They stay at home all day in the name of taking the college entrance examination. This is actually a huge waste of labor.

In other words, during this period, a large number of squatters had already appeared in major cities across the country.

For example, Yu Yuanyuan's sister Yu Fangfang is a typical squatter in her hometown.

It's just that Yu Fangfang never thought of using the college entrance examination as a cover. Instead, she just wanted to find a person from the capital with good conditions to marry.

Of course, Yu Fangfang no longer lives at home. She has moved into the courtyard house that Cao Zhiqiang bought for Yu Yuanyuan and lived with Yu Yuanyuan.

The reason is very simple, that is, the courtyard house Cao Zhiqiang bought for Yu Yuanyuan is larger and more comfortable, and while living there, Yu Yuanyuan will not talk about her as her sister all day long.

On the contrary, when I live at home, not only is the space small, but I also have to watch my parents' faces and be lectured by them all day long, which is very annoying.

By the same token, it is precisely because there is a large number of idle young labor forces in society but there are not enough jobs to accommodate these young people that it has also led to the rapid deterioration of social security.

Of course, although the lack of jobs is the main reason for the large number of idle people in society, there are actually solutions.

It is a good idea to intensify reform efforts and increase the number of jobs in the service industry.

For example, riding a tricycle, setting up a street stall, running jobs for people, etc. are all possible.

In other words, when the country is unable to provide more formal jobs for the time being, the best solution is to let young people use their subjective initiative and find jobs by themselves instead of sitting back and waiting to get what they want.

The comment in the Peking Youth Daily that Cao Zhiqiang won the top prize in liberal arts in the college entrance examination but did not go to college is obviously leading in this direction.

This idea is indeed more noble than Cai Ling's original content of praising Cao Zhiqiang personally, praising Cao Zhiqiang for carrying forward his style and taking the initiative to give up his university place.

"This is obviously not me." Cao Zhiqiang put down the newspaper and sighed, "I'm exaggerating."

Xiang Dongfang smiled on the side and said: "President, although the praise is a bit exaggerated, it is also based on facts. After all, you are indeed the top scorer in this year's liberal arts college entrance examination, and you did give up going to college.

Since we have this fact as a basis, what’s the big deal if we let people blow it up and use it to guide the social atmosphere?”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "That's true, but I'm just afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Xiang Dongfang asked.

Cao Zhiqiang picked up the newspaper again and said: "I'm afraid some people will get inspired after reading this report and really want to turn me into an advanced model and ask me to go around giving reports and giving speeches. That would be troublesome."

Indeed, during this period, I often like to catch examples and make reports.

For example, the factory director has now begun to rise to prominence, and the Zhejiang Provincial Daily has devoted a full page to reporting on his bold innovations.

Soon, this factory director will become famous overnight, and his deeds will be promoted throughout the country, and he will be praised highly.

It's a pity that after all, because he was praised too highly, he was morally kidnapped, and his leaders had too high expectations. In the end, the orders from above exceeded his personal ability. Coupled with the problems of the market environment, he became insolvent not long after.

As a result, he fell from the altar and became the object of rejection by thousands of people.

In other words, at this time, it is okay to be moderately famous, but it is absolutely not possible to be famous.

Once you become famous, you are no longer you, but become a symbol.

By then, there will be too many people trying to take advantage of you, and you will no longer be able to make the final decision on your own.

In fact, what Cao Zhiqiang is doing now is already somewhat interesting.

However, Cao Zhiqiang's advantage is that he is too young and is not a real factory director. Moreover, the industry he really started in is not a physical enterprise like a shirt factory, but a service-oriented enterprise such as publishing houses, audio-visual companies and film studios.

Tertiary Industry.

To be more precise, Director Bu's success is highly popularizable and replicable, while Cao Zhiqiang's success is basically not popularizable.

Because Factory Director Bu's success was achieved by breaking away from the big pot and establishing a joint-production remuneration system, which is similar to a joint-production contract responsibility system. What was changed was the management model, which is very popular.

But Cao Zhiqiang's success is basically his personal success. He relies solely on his personal talents to publish books and records. It does not change the original management model, nor does it touch the old vested interests.

For example, at Hongguang Machinery Factory, those people who take sick leave every day and don't go to work even though they are fine, who are the so-called sick leavers, can still get their wages on time every month, instead of following the policy set by Factory Director Bu.

, people who take sick leave and don’t go to work will not get paid.

Another example is that the workers at Hongguang Machinery Factory still receive a dead wage, and they get the same money no matter how much they work or how little they work, instead of the piece-rate wages like the factory director's, where they get more for more work, less for less work, and nothing if they don't work.

Cao Zhiqiang is different. Whether it's his publishing house or audio-visual company, there are actually very few people under him, and the existence of these people is basically service personnel who serve Cao Zhiqiang personally.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang still relies on his own ability to make a living, and his subordinates are all working for his personal service and are dependent on Cao Zhiqiang's existence.

Once Cao Zhiqiang is gone, others will lose their service targets and will immediately fall apart.

Even if Cao Zhiqiang founded a new confidant magazine, giving Yu Deli and others more work to do, at least for now, they are still inseparable from Cao Zhiqiang.

In essence, the unit currently controlled by Cao Zhiqiang is different from a production-oriented enterprise. It is not promotional or learning-oriented, and is a special case.

Of course, as the deputy director of the Tertiary Industry Office of Hongguang Machinery Factory, Cao Zhiqiang did not help the machinery factory to reform, but Cao Zhiqiang's so-called reform was to avoid the original problems, open up new fronts, and make the cake bigger.

For example, Hongguang Department Store is Cao Zhiqiang’s reform of Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Hongguang Department Store is a public-private joint venture, in which Hongguang Machinery Factory holds 51% of the shares and Cao Zhiqiang personally holds 49%.

According to current rules, Hongguang Department Store is actually a holding subsidiary of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and can also be considered a part of Hongguang Machinery Factory.

In this way, Hongguang Machinery Factory can use the personnel unification principle of state-owned enterprises to directly connect the personnel appointments between Hongguang Department Store and Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Then, the main project of Hongguang Department Store is the convenience kiosk chain.

Work as a salesperson at a convenience kiosk and implement a new salary system, which is a basic salary plus commission.

The so-called basic salary plus commission means that when you work as a salesperson at a convenience kiosk, you will receive a fixed monthly salary equivalent to the salary of an intern at Hongguang Machinery Factory, but in addition there is a commission.

The official name of commission is share bonus, but it is actually a category of bonus.

The sales performance of each convenience kiosk will be divided according to the principle of 30% to 70%, 70% will be given to the department store, and 30% will be retained as personal bonus.

In other words, the better the sales performance of each convenience kiosk, the higher the personal bonus of the salesperson in this convenience kiosk.

If you are not a salesperson but just a delivery person, it will be a basic salary plus bonus model.

The basic salary of a delivery person is the same as that of an ordinary first-level fitter, but bonuses will be given based on the quantity you deliver. The more goods you personally deliver, the greater the bonus, which is not much different from piecework.

The key is that the convenience kiosk project is not to be promoted on a large scale suddenly, but to start with twelve convenience kiosks as a pilot project and to take things slowly.

In terms of specific personnel, a group of relatively obedient young people who had just joined the factory less than three years ago and belonged to the tertiary industry were transferred to work as salesmen and delivery persons.

In this way, those old employees who are like old fried dough sticks can be left alone.

As long as the old employees don't move, there will naturally be no obstacles.

Then, as long as you can get a higher salary as a salesperson at a convenience kiosk, which is much higher than working in a machine factory, it will definitely make people excited, and they will definitely find ways to be transferred to Hongguang Department Store as a salesperson.

But Hongguang Department Store is, after all, a new independent unit with its own new rules.

So if you go to a new unit, you will naturally have to follow the new rules of the new unit, and this is natural.

In this way, once they are transferred to Hongguang Department Store, those people will no longer be able to take sick leave all day long to collect money. They can only go to the convenience booth to work on time every day, and they must have a kind attitude. Otherwise, various punishment mechanisms will definitely teach them

Be a human being.

Yes, Hongguang Department Store not only has high bonuses, but also has numerous punishment systems. Once violated, no mercy will be given lightly.

Why does a convenience kiosk require at least two people?

This is not only a master leading an apprentice, but also two people supervising each other.

After all, in this era, there is no 5G and cameras, so employees cannot be located at any time, and there is no way to monitor them in real time.

But if two people monitor and supervise each other, and if one person makes a mistake and both are punished, this will have a certain effect.

Moreover, each convenience kiosk will have a minimum sales level. If the standard is not met, you will also be fined.

If you fail to meet the standards for two consecutive months, you will have to leave directly and find someone else to take over.

It is equivalent to saying that Cao Zhiqiang set up a new plate, and then used the high salary to put the available people from the old plate into the new plate bit by bit.

In the end, when all the available people have entered the new plate and the old plates are all dregs, the old plates can be discarded and the new plates can go out independently.

This method is relatively gentle and leaves no room for fault.

And the last bad guy, that is, the rectification problem, is borne by the leaders and the government above. Neither Cao Zhiqiang nor Factory Director Li will have to bear too many consequences.

It is precisely because they understand the benefits of starting a new business and the interests involved that Director Li and Secretary Dong are so interested in it.

In the same way, because Cao Zhiqiang's set of reforms is starting from scratch, it is best to do things quietly and get things done quietly without making any announcements in advance, especially not to attract too much attention from the leaders.

It would be tragic if Cao Zhiqiang received too much attention and was given too high expectations by some leaders. If the layman and the expert gave orders that "I can't do".

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "I was careless. I was really careless. If I had known this, I would have refused the interview. I am still not stable enough!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Dongfang said with a smile: "President, is this what you said, Versailles-style showing off?"

"What do you know?" Cao Zhiqiang glared at Xiang Dongfang, "I really regret it!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "It's cold at high places. The higher you hold it, the more painful it will be if you fall!"

What if a leader, especially a big shot above, sees this and becomes interested in me and wants me to be a role model and wants everyone to learn from me?

Even if my story is published in the People's Daily and promoted nationwide, what should I do?

By then, I will really be roasted on the fire!"

Xiang Dongfang sighed: "President, are you thinking too much? A top scorer in the liberal arts college entrance examination in Peiping City is good, but it is not enough to be promoted nationwide. Do you think you are a **?"

"No!" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly stood up, "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected! To prevent unexpected events, I want to nip it in the bud!"

"Nip it in the bud?" Xiang Dongfang asked, "What are you going to do?"

Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath: "Of course I'm looking for the thigh!"

After taking a look at Xiang Dongfang, Cao Zhiqiang said with a serious face: "The newspaper has already published it, and the future is unpredictable. If you want to avoid trouble in the future, you have to let your thighs take action!"
