Chapter 56: Courier Companies
Long Dan's position in the express company is the reserve manager, the so-called reserve manager, is to enjoy the level of the manager, there is no actual authority, there is a need to go there. Long Dan remembered the lesson in the cement factory, and as soon as he entered the company, he gave a gift to his immediate boss, the director of the personnel department. Long Dan still sent calligraphy and paintings, and the reason why he sent calligraphy and paintings was because when Long Dan came out, he only brought a dozen calligraphy and paintings, and Long Dan did not bring other valuable things. Another reason is that Huang Qing, the director of the personnel department of Long Dan, is a master's student, and cultural people always know the value of calligraphy and painting.
Long Dan's guess was really right, Huang Xueqing, the director of the personnel department, was very happy to receive the gift, and thanked Long Dan in person and said a lot of kind words. Long Dan listened to the peace in his heart, and knew that his things were not given away in vain, and they could be regarded as making the best use of them.
Long Dan went to work for a few days, it was the Spring Festival, Long Dan volunteered to sign up for duty, and the leaders were even more happy, saying that Long Dan was active in work, sacrificing his holidays and making contributions to the company. In fact, even if Long Dan was not on duty during his annual leave, Long Dan had nowhere to go, and could only live in the company, but for this special reason, Long Dan did not sue others.
After the Spring Festival, the leaders of Yuantong Express Company specially issued a bonus of 1,000 yuan and a living allowance of 100 yuan in order to reward the employees on duty during the Spring Festival. Long Dan received the 1,100 yuan, and happily spent 100 yuan to invite Lao Wang, who was in the same dormitory, to a restaurant for a drink.
Lao Wang's name is Wang Hongqi, he came a few days earlier than Long Dan, he is about the same age, and he is also a reserve manager. Lao Wang is a native of Shanbei Province, he was laid off when he was young, and he has been floating in Kyoto, working for more than ten years, and rarely returns to his hometown. I don't know how many jobs have changed, and I am an old part-time worker.
Long Dan said to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, you have also been out for more than ten years, you always work part-time, do you have the idea of doing something?" Lao Wang didn't know what Long Dan meant by doing something, so he asked puzzledly: "What do you do, isn't it just a part-time job?" What else can be done? Long Dan said: "During the Spring Festival duty, I heard some things, our express company is ready to expand the scale, the purpose is to prepare for the listing. This is a great opportunity to have branches in every city in the country. Lao Wang was very realistic, and he didn't guess Long Dan's thoughts, so he said: "That's the boss's business, what can we do?" Long Dan continued: "You can't say that, since we are reserve managers, that means that we will have the opportunity to be assigned to the following branches in the future, and if you can't say it, you can take charge of it alone and be the head of the branch." I heard that the manager of the branch has a salary of more than 20,000 yuan, and if we get to this job, we will have a head."
After listening to Long Dan's words, Lao Wang understood what Long Dan meant. Who doesn't want to mention their wages if they are working, now it is only more than 3,000 yuan, if the salary can rise to more than 20,000 yuan, it will not be in vain for more than ten years of hard work. Lao Wang came to the spirit and asked: "How can I do this", Long Dan said firmly: "It's very simple, the first thing is to do a good job, don't let colleagues find faults, and let the leaders look comfortable; Second, you have to have a good relationship with the leader", Long Dan naturally couldn't say that he gave a gift to the leader, but only vaguely said that he had a good relationship with the leader.
Lao Wang is not a stupid person, and he understands the meaning behind Long Dan's good relationship. It's just that Lao Wang is a very honest person, and naturally he has a stingy character, and he is reluctant to give gifts, so he said: "Then I will invite Director Huang in a few days, how about you accompany me to the guests?" Long Dan smiled: "There is no problem, I dare not say anything else, if I want to talk about drinking, there are no guests who I can't accompany, but Director Huang is not good at stubble, but I am afraid that it will not be useful to invite guests to dinner", Lao Wang said: "It doesn't work first, anyway, it's better to invite than not to invite, first mix a familiar face, I don't have much ambition, please talk about it."
A few days later, Lao Wang invited Director Huang out, and Lao Wang ordered a table of exquisite wine and food in the restaurant, and accompanied Director Huang with Long Dan to have a good time. Director Huang was obviously very happy, and drank a lot of wine, Lao Wang and Long Dan deliberately flattered, and slapped Director Huang's sycophants on the mountain, which made Director Huang proud, and called Lao Wang and Long Dan brothers, and said that they must take care of it, Lao Wang Longdan was also very happy to hear it, especially Lao Wang, Qingxin's own hundreds of yuan old man's head did not have white flowers.
Sure enough, a few days later, Lao Wang was appointed as the administrative manager of the express company, the salary was raised by one level, and he took over the logistics of the company.
However, Long Dan, seeing that the company's leaders did not have the slightest intention of promoting themselves, sighed, and said in his heart: The calligraphy and paintings he sent are not as effective as Lao Wang's table of wine and food? Although Long Dan was puzzled in his heart, it was inconvenient to ask, so he just worked in a muffled voice, so that the leader valued himself.
On this day, as soon as Long Dan arrived at the office, he was called to the director's office by Director Huang. Director Huang said to Long Dan: "I decided to let you go on a long trip, don't you mind?" ”。 When Long Dan saw that the leader let him go on a business trip, he said: "How the leader arranges it, I obey it", Director Huang continued: "You also know that our recruitment pressure this year is very high, tens of thousands of people in the company, the turnover rate is not small, and we need to continue to recruit new people. In addition, the company will expand its site this year, and the number of workers recruited will be a large number. The people I sent out a few years ago spent a lot of money on business trips, but I didn't recruit a few people, and the boss was very angry. This time, when you go out, you are going to the following provinces, you can go there if you want to, and the travel expenses will be reimbursed, and you don't have to worry about spending money, as long as you recruit people back, and let other personnel specialists see your level." Long Dan listened and said: "There is absolutely no problem, then I will go to Hexi Province, where the economic level is lower, maybe I will recruit a large number of general workers", "Okay, I believe you, you go to the finance to get 30,000 yuan, you live in Hexi Province, after recruiting enough people, you think you can take them back to the company" Director Huang finished speaking, and arranged for Long Dan to go to the finance to withdraw cash, Long Dan prepared for two more days, packed up and changed clothes and went to Hexi Province by train.
Before Long Dan went, he checked it clearly on the Internet, there is a Heyin County in Hexi Province, and there are dozens of townships in the county, which is an area with few land and many people. Most of the peasants in Heyin County grow apples, but few crops, and because of the frequent drought and lack of rain, the common people often plant their crops in the ground to answer their fate. So there are a lot of idlers, and Long Dan estimated that he could recruit a large number of workers in this kind of place, so he lived in Heyin County.
Long Dan found a decent hotel and stayed there. Use the hotel as your makeshift office. I found a temporary helper in the county town and promised him 50 yuan a day. This temporary helper is also a rural village head, who Long Dan met at the railway station in Heyin County. The village chief was very happy to see that Long Dan gave him 50 yuan a day, so he tried his best to help Long Dan recruit workers.
Long Dan asked the helper to lead him, went to the county TV station, spent 1,200 yuan to make a 20-day cable TV subtitle advertisement, and spent 660 yuan to print 30,000 leaflets, and asked the helper to lead four or five people to post advertisements in the townships below. Long Dan was quietly waiting in the hotel for the hired workers to come to the door.
Several measures of Long Dan really worked, less than a week, called, to the hotel to find Long Dan to inquire endlessly, Long Dan originally planned to recruit 200 people would be good, but in less than half a month, Long Dan recruited more than 400 people. Long Dan reported the situation to Director Huang, and Director Huang was overjoyed, so he asked Long Dan to find a way to bring back more than 400 people first. Long Dan was busy for more than ten days, calling the workers one by one, telling them the route and way to go to the capital, and telling them that their company would reimburse the travel expenses. Less than ten days after I returned, more than 400 people came to the company to report one after another.
Long Dan's recruitment created a record for the recruitment of express companies, and the personnel commissioners who used to shout loudly that it was difficult to recruit workers quietly closed their mouths. The leaders also praised Long Dan's work ability in unison. Just when everyone praised Long Dan, Long Dan did something that made Director Huang very dissatisfied.
It turned out that after Long Dan came back, he counted all the expenses in detail, and spent less than 10,000 yuan in total, so he pasted all the documents together and asked Director Huang to sign for reimbursement. Director Huang flipped through the slips and looked at them several times and said, "That's all?" Long Dan thought it was too much and said: "It cost nearly 10,000 yuan, I hired a few helpers in the local area, and it took a little more", Director Huang looked at Long Dan's face and looked at it for a long time, as if he wanted to find out something on Long Dan's face, and said: "You, it's really good" He signed on Long Dan's bill, fell hard, and said angrily: "Go to the financial reimbursement", Long Dan Zhang's second monk was confused, so he went to the financial department to report the list. Later, when I talked to Lao Wang, Lao Wang said: "You probably got Director Huang's meaning reversed", and it wasn't until later that Long Dan asked a veteran who often travels to know the mystery. It turned out that Director Huang meant to let Long Dan reimburse all the 30,000 yuan he had withdrawn, and he would also get some benefits by the way. But Long Dan knew it too late, this kind of thing can only be understood but not spoken, and it was too late for Long Dan to regret it.
