Chapter 5: Office Automation
Su Cheng came to the Ministry of Petroleum with great enthusiasm, and after explaining his intention to the door guard, he smoothly walked into the office building.
It is a solemn building with a solemn exterior and a heavy interior, with light traces of decoration and no major changes to the stairs and corridors. When you enter the office of the Department of Personnel and Labor on the third floor, you can see the not very smooth floor and blue paint, which can be called simple from the eyes of Sioux City.
The little clerk of the personnel department, with a natural arrogance on his face, heard him say that he was from Su Cheng from Peking University, so he smiled a little and said, "Director Liu went to a meeting, and specially instructed you to come and wait for a while, do you want to drink tea?"
"Just plain water. ”
The clerk poured him boiled water and went back to his own business.
Sioux City leisurely cocked the fifth chapter: office automation legs, waiting with peace of mind. The weight of the personnel department, the assigned office, is facing the shady green trees in the backyard, and the scenery is unique.
The only thing that annoys me is that the big office is too noisy. Four or five staff members circled around the two computers, and there were a few gentlemen next to them who were carrying materials......
Sioux City suddenly had a thrill, which was a rarity in China in 1987.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Cheng leaned in and looked in next to the shoulder of a small clerk.
On the Japanese brand machine, the word 286 is written in big letters, the butt of the monitor is big and long, and the screen used for display is small and square, but what is being used at this time is the Excel familiar to Sioux City.
However, looking at the annoyed looks of the clerks around him, it was obvious that the software was not easy to use.
Two computers, two readings, two typing, and three people helping: "Oops, the name is wrong again." ”
"It's too hard. ”
"Minister Ma is too, what must be printed documents, how good is it to hand-draw before......"
After listening for a while, Sioux City understood. The Ministry of Petroleum is engaged in office automation, requiring new technologies such as electronic reports, electronic documents, and e-mails. But just look at the staff around you, almost all of them came from the sports era, the older ones are old athletes, and the younger ones have only learned sports, and they are good at criticizing and fighting, and they can make a living by writing something, and they are completely blind when they play technology.
A good excel sheet, which has been changed by them, is already a mess. However, the report workload of the personnel department is extremely large, and there is a strict time limit, so I scolded anxiously for a while.
Su Cheng looked at it for a while, coughed lightly, and said, "The problem of consistency of the names of subsidiaries and departments can be solved with the data validity function." ”
"Huh?
Su Cheng squeezed in, held the long-lost mouse, sighed for a moment, and directly operated it.
After a while, he looked at their files again and said, "I see that you have a lot of the same data, and these can be put in together." ”
"Why did you put it in together? The little fat man in the seat tried it quickly with his eyes. Unfortunately, he will only use the mouse and keyboard to select horizontal or vertical cells.
Su Cheng suddenly understood, daring these staff members would not use Excel at all.
In contrast, he spent two years at the University of Petroleum with spreadsheets, so he said, "Discontinuous cells can also input the same data, let me demonstrate." ”
Su Cheng snatched the mouse from someone's small hand and began to operate.
In a matter of seconds, dozens of pieces of data from different locations were entered.
The task was expected to be completed, and a group of clerks suddenly became excited, and someone shouted: "Oops, there is a master, there is a rescue." ”
The gentlemen, who were still calm, finally did not calm down, and swarmed in, draining the computer where Sioux City was located, and asking their own questions.
Excel in this era is still immature, but the prototype has appeared, and Sioux City is a little familiar with it, and it is very comfortable to solve their basic problems.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a heavy cough behind me, and Director Liu said majestically: "What are you doing there?"
The old man was pitiful in the admissions office of Peking University, but when he returned to the Ministry of Petroleum, he was still a god.
Su Cheng laughed secretly, got up and shouted, "Director Liu, I'm here to report today." ”
"Sioux City. Director Liu's expression was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that they knew each other, someone stood up and said with a smile: "Director, Comrade Su Cheng is a computer master, and he taught us to use spreadsheet software." ”
Director Liu raised his hands suspiciously and asked officially: "Su Cheng, you are a student of the Chinese Department, how did you become a computer master?"
Su Cheng said modestly: "I came into contact with it when I was in school, and I know a little bit." ”
"It's not that I understand a little, Su is much more powerful than Japanese technicians. Director Liu, with his help, we are expected to complete today's report. With the eyes of a group of people in the Personnel Department, it is easy to see Director Liu's tendency.
As for the relationship between computers and ancestors, that's a topic that no one cares about.
Su Cheng is a highly educated talent recruited by Director Liu, and the better he performs, the more it proves Director Liu's vision.
So, His Excellency the Director changed back to the image of an old man, smiled happily with yellow teeth, and said happily: "Okay, Xiao Han will go to Su Cheng first." Xiao Su, you can help them first. ”
Su Cheng answered, and got busy in the office.
Director Liu also stayed in the office, watching him operate the computer with great interest.
For people of this era, the computer is a magical machine, far more magical than television and photocopier. But even televisions and photocopiers are something that most people have never seen. Even the mouse, which is most accustomed to modern people, is not standard on the 286's computer. The Japanese brand machine of the Personnel Department used Windows2.0, so two mice were installed, and other departments were mostly using DOS systems, but they didn't even have mice.
Except for graduates in recent years, most of the ordinary clerks of the central ministries and commissions are about 30 years old, who have gone up the mountains, down to the countryside, and perhaps entered the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, but they have not received systematic study, and in the face of a large number of English and inaccurate translations of Chinese terms, it is inevitable to be blind.
However, among the middle and high-level cadres of Director Liu's age, there are many veteran college students with a solid foundation, and they can have a little experience after watching it carefully for a while.
Director Han, who was handling the matter, completed the formalities, came to the middle of Director Liu and Su Cheng, and asked with a smile: "Director, which department is Xiao Su sent to?"
Director Liu asked without looking back: "Xiao Su, which department do you want to go to?"
Everyone looked sideways.
Being able to pick a place to go is not an ordinary preferential treatment.
Su Cheng was dazed and said with a smile: "I am a brick of the revolution, where I need to move it, but I hope to go to the oil field and do practical work." ”
At the end of the day, the petroleum major is what he understands.
Director Liu didn't take it seriously, thinking to himself, what can you, a student of the Chinese Department of Peking University, do in the oil field. He pondered for a moment, remembered Su Cheng's performance just now, and said, "That's it, you stay in the Personnel Department first, and help everyone make forms in the past two days, familiarize yourself with the environment in the department, and then make a decision." ”
This is an unparalleled preferential treatment everyone showed surprised eyes, and then they seemed to understand whether they understood or not they had their own judgments, and when Director Liu left, they all flocked to the front and set up almost.
The little fat man who was sitting in front of the computer didn't dare to show weakness, and said to Su Cheng: "Brother Su, you can accept me as an apprentice." ”!!!
