Chapter 41: Resistance

In the first month after Liu Hong's reform, all channels did not complete the advertising tasks assigned by the station. The wages of employees are paid according to the regulations and the proportion of completing advertising tasks, so the person who receives the most salary is only more than 80% of the original, and the least is less than 50% of the original.

Those workers with high age, high professional titles, and high salaries have become the biggest resistance to the reform of television stations because the station has canceled their professional title salaries, and their workload cannot catch up with that of young people. They went to Liu Hong to report the problem, but Liu Hong simply refuted it.

They turned to Cao Jianhua to reflect their demands.

Cao Jianhua's face is relatively thin, and his heart is also very weak, and after listening to the opinions of several old workers, he couldn't resist the pressure, and found Liu Hong with a faint expression, sighed deeply and said: "Liu Tai, I don't know if you know that the workers in Taiwan now have a particularly strong opinion on reform? Are we postponing the implementation of some radical reform measures? I think we must first gather people's hearts and build consensus, and then steadily push forward reform. ”

Liu Hong was very annoyed when she heard Cao Jianhua's advice, and wanted to lose her temper with him, but when she thought that she still needed his strong support for her future work, she patiently reasoned with him and introduced the examples of difficult reforms in ancient and modern China and foreign countries that she had learned when she was studying in Donghai City.

In the end, Liu Hong said to Cao Jianhua earnestly: "Cao Tai, I understand your mood very well. As long as we are united and resolute in implementing the reform plan, I promise that we will soon achieve tangible results. At that time, the workers of Taiwan will definitely thank our team. ”

Cao Jianhua's ears have always been soft, and after listening to Liu Hong's earnest teachings, he was speechless, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "What you said makes sense. At the end of the day, I'm in favor of reform. I just hope that everything is safe, steady and stable. ”

Half a year passed quickly.

With the exception of the news channel, which barely completed the advertising task, the performance of other channels and departments was miserable. All cadres and workers in Taiwan have not received their full wages for a month, and some workers have difficulties in their family expenses.

For a time, the hearts of Anxi TV were fluctuating and mournful.

Although the old director Sun Weide has retired, he has always been very concerned about the career development of the TV station. After hearing about the situation of the television station, he made a special phone call to Liu Hong, inquired in detail about the process and goals of the reform, and spoke highly of Liu Hong's work.

In the end, Sun Weide advised: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhai and Xiao Chen are very good comrades. They came when they built the station, and they were the veterans of the TV station. The old man is a treasure wow. ”

Liu Hong smiled and asked, "Director Sun, what you said is so right. These veteran comrades are very serious in their work, and the television station lacks such good comrades. ”

Sun Weide continued: "I heard that they can't get their full salary. ”

Liu Hong patiently explained: "Director Sun, you don't know, the expenses of the TV station now are much larger than when you were the director. If there is no tens of millions of advertising revenue a year, it will really affect the income of employees. ”

Sun Weide said: "The Taiwan leadership group can report to the municipal party committee and strive for more money from the treasury." ”

Liu Hong said: "You don't know, the municipal party committee is planning to transform a public institution like ours into an enterprise management that is responsible for its own profits and losses, and the financial pressure is too great. ”

Sun Weide sighed a few words and hung up the phone.

Within two days, Yu Siwei, the former director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, called again.

Yu Siwei politely exchanged a few words with Liu Hong, and then cut to the chase: "Our TV station is the mouthpiece of the party and the regime, and it is a bridge to communicate with the people. ”

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Director Yu, although you left the TV station, you have not forgotten the duties and missions of the TV station at all." ”

Yu Siwei said with a sigh: "Although I have left the TV station, I can never forget the purpose." In any case, the hearts of the employees cannot be dispersed. If your mind is distracted, your work will go wrong. If there is a problem in the work, it will affect the role of the mouthpiece. ”

Liu Hong said: "Director Yu, you are still so philosophical in your speech, which has benefited people a lot." I would like to hear your opinion on the reform of television stations. ”

Yu Siwei laughed: "How can I have any high opinions? I have a small suggestion for your reference. ”

Liu Hong said: "Say it, I must keep it in mind." ”

Yu Siwei said: "I am afraid that news gathering and editing and advertising management should be separated, and let professional people do professional things, so that the effect will be better." ”

Liu Hong smiled and said, "Director Yu, what you said is so good. We will do so. ”

Liu Hong suddenly found that the number of leading cadres who care about the TV station has suddenly increased. She gets several of these calls almost every day. At first, she could explain patiently, and then she was busy with work and finished it in a few words.

At that time, the TV station was a hot unit with a high threshold, and it was difficult for ordinary people to come in and work. A lot of people who come in are based on one kind or another relationship. Naturally, these people reported the tragic situation of the TV station reform to the municipal party committee and government through their own connections.

After receiving public opinion, Yang Weimin, secretary of the municipal party committee, attached great importance to it and immediately sent a working group led by the propaganda director of the municipal party committee to the television station to investigate the actual situation.

Yang Weimin privately called Liu Hong to his office and asked the TV station about the actual situation in person.

Liu Hong made a detailed report to Yang Weimin in 1510, and then confided all the grievances and troubles in his heart to him.

After listening to this, Yang Weimin said with a smile: "Your reform has no ready-made experience to copy, it is a real originality and exploration, and it is inevitable that you will encounter some problems by crossing the river by feeling the stones by yourself." In the future, when dealing with the interests of the broad masses of workers, you must think twice about what you do, do the ideological work in advance, and let the workers understand and digest it before implementing it, and the results will be better. It doesn't matter, you will definitely become more mature through these trials and endures. ”

After listening to Yang Weimin's conversation, Liu Hong's heart suddenly brightened: "Secretary Yang, what you said is too correct. It is true that my personality is rather impatient, and I am a little anxious to achieve results, thinking only about the pursuit of speed but ignoring ideological and political work. Please rest assured that I will correct the existing mistakes as soon as possible, improve my working methods, and put the reform on the right track. ”

Yang Weimin commented with satisfaction: "Very good. We should sum up our experiences and lessons and strive to improve and perfect our work ability and level. ”

Liu Hong nodded solemnly.

Through talking and understanding with cadres and workers on the television station, the working group finally came up with the following research results: Some workers who are nostalgic for the big pot of rice do not seek to be motivated, are backward in thinking, make trouble without reason, and obstruct reform.

Yang Weimin personally read the research report and commented on the report:

The reform of Anzay TV is completely correct. The municipal party committee and government should vigorously support it. In addition, all units in the city should conscientiously study the experience of the reform of television stations and popularize their good practices and experiences throughout the city.

After Liu Hong was fully affirmed by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, her confidence increased greatly, and she immediately convened a meeting of cadres and workers in Taiwan, and read out the full text of the research report of the working group and the important instructions of Secretary Yang of the Municipal Party Committee.

The workers sitting in the auditorium were all dumbfounded. They don't understand how they have become conservatives who obstruct reform in a daze, just by putting forward a few opinions and expressing a little dissatisfaction with the reform that does not conform to reality.

After calculation, some veteran workers found that the pension they received after retirement was higher than the salary they earned by working at work, so they asked someone to find a relationship to go through the procedures for sick retirement or early retirement.

Liu Hong is optimistic about this: First of all, these old workers can't do much work, and they still think about getting high wages all day long, relying on the old and selling the old, which not only disobeys the management, but also affects the enthusiasm of the young workers. If you retreat, it is equivalent to reducing the resistance to the reform of the television station. Secondly, there are a lot of people who want to enter the TV station, and there are a lot of people who have come to the TV station, and there are many people who come directly to Liu Hong.

Cao Jianhua was still worried all day long, for fear that the TV station staff would poke out some basket and detonate the bombs buried in people's hearts. However, he never delayed his work, and carefully reviewed every news release every day to prevent work mistakes and unpredictable events from happening.

In order to close the relationship between the team members and make everyone unite and work in a comfortable mood, Liu Hong came up with a way.

On the eve of the National Day, Liu Hong personally informed the deputy directors with a smile: "October 1 is my birthday. To thank you for your support of my work, I'd like to invite you all to a meal, okay?"

The flattered deputies nodded again and again and quickly agreed.

They knew that Liu Hong usually liked leather shoes very much and had a hobby of collecting leather shoes, so they got together to buy her a birthday gift - a pair of black and shiny, high-end and fashionable brand-name leather shoes.

The dinner was held at the Central Asia Hotel.

On behalf of everyone, Wu Shifei presented Liu Hong with everyone's thoughts: a bouquet of flowers and leather shoes.

When Liu Hong saw the beautiful leather shoes, her heart not only did not have joy but became heavy: gifts are exquisite. Giving shoes means giving someone someone a small shoe. Even the leaders of the station don't understand the taboo of gift-giving, and the TV station really needs to be rectified.

Despite this, Liu Hong is very grateful for everyone's kindness.

Dong Xiaoli, Feng Qin and others sang and danced for a while, and made up various names for a while, and kept toasting several deputy directors.

The deputy directors usually drink a lot of alcohol, and it is not a problem to drink a pound and a half bottle. Today, perhaps because of a lot of preoccupations, one by one they were red and a little drunk. They dance to the beautiful lyrical melody of music, releasing the stress and worries that usually accumulate in their hearts.

At work the next day, Liu Hong called Cao Jianhua to the office to chat, and inadvertently mentioned the drinking and dancing last night.

She lowered her voice and warned solemnly: "You hugged Dong Xiaoli when you danced last night, and your hands and feet were a little dishonest. Xiao Dong cried on the way home. You'll have to pay attention to the impact in the future. ”

Cao Jianhua was dumbfounded when he heard Liu Hong's words, and he couldn't remember the dancing last night after racking his brains, and wanted to go to Dong Xiaoli to ask it, but he felt that it was boring for himself, so he had to give up. From then on, Cao Jianhua was cautious in front of Liu Hong, lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and thought that he had a handle to hold in Liu Hong's hand, even if Liu Hong's work requirements or personnel arrangements did not conform to his own views, he had to be obedient, and it was difficult to say half a word.

Liu Hong made bold moves on the road of reform, forged ahead bravely, adhered to the three-noes policy of not compromising, not changing, and not giving in, and established an image of hard work, determined reform, and tough style in the hearts of the people. The title of "Anxi's Iron Lady" spread throughout the city.

Liu Hong is not static, and when she needs to be flexible, she still adapts and takes advantage of the situation. For example, she changed her date of birth from September 18, 1964 to October 1, 1966, two years younger than her actual age, hoping to prolong her youth and take advantage of her age to go further.

This year, Liu Hong made every effort to promote the reform of the TV station, leaving early and returning late, exhausted, and had no time to take care of Zhao Qingsong and Long Long. Every time the school held a parent-teacher meeting, Zhao Qingsong or her mother-in-law Chen Xiufang attended, and she didn't even know who Longlong's homeroom teacher was or what her surname was.

Once, an employee of the TV station said to Liu Hong with a smile: "Liu Tai, your son won the grand prize, congratulations!"

Liu Hong immediately asked, "What award did my son win?"

The employee said in surprise: "The first prize of the provincial youth piano competition." Why, you don't know?"

Liu Hong was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "Yes? I don't know." When?"

The employee replied, "Last month." My daughter won the third prize. ”

This year, Liu Hong also had a lot of gains.

She was awarded the deputy high title - chief announcer, and was successively rated as the "38 Red Flag Bearer" by the Municipal Women's Federation, and was elected as the winner of the "May Day Labor Medal" by the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions.
