Chapter 369 - Eclectic Talent Reduction (I)
The country's influential "declaration" began on September 20, and spent a whole month on the front page under a quarter of the page to publish the "Jiangnan Enterprise Group Recruitment Enlightenment", this major move has won the attention of all walks of life in the country, and it seems that the "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" that emerged overnight has become the focus of heated discussions from all walks of life with its strong strength, large capital investment, vacant many high-paying positions, advanced machinery and equipment, etc., and the Nanchang "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" has sprung up As a result, it was familiar to people all over the world, and soon became a sensational national surname news.
Soon after the announcement of the earth-shattering effect, the transportation company under the "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" continuously published the news of its opening:
The regular passenger and cargo ship routes from Nanchang to Jiujiang, Nanchang to Hukou and Nanchang to Qingjiang were opened, and the highway passenger and cargo transportation from Nanchang to Fuzhou and other surrounding eight counties was declared for business.
In the next two months, the various news of the "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" became the focus of heated discussions in newspapers across the country, and its hardware factories that produced nails, wires, and hardware tools, chemical factories that produced soap, soap, and laundry detergent, pen factories and ink factories that produced pens and pencils, grain, oil and food factories that produced high-quality tea oil and biscuits and candies, garment factories that produced various styles of novel, beautiful and durable clothing, and shoe factories that produced all kinds of rubber shoes and water shoes Since then, various products of the trademark have appeared in front of the public one after another.
On 10 October, the "Jiangnan Group" published a week's worth of enrollment advertisements in major newspapers across the country, and announced to the whole country a list of 50 young men and women who had received funding from the "An Yi Education Foundation" and who had not yet set off to study in the United States.
The newly established Jiangnan Medical College and Jiangnan Institute of Technology, which employs experts from Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Russia, began to recruit students from five major majors in medicine, machinery, textiles, construction and economics across the country, and the first enrollment of the two schools was 300 and 600 respectively, from the date of the advertisement to December 1 for the registration time, December 3, 4 and 5 for the entrance examination time, once the examination and physical examination are passed, the college will exempt all students from tuition and miscellaneous fees and room and board fees. And for one-third of the outstanding students to provide a scholarship of five yuan per month, each class of graduates with both ability and political integrity will be sent to various universities in Europe and the United States for further study, by the "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" under the "Anyi Education Foundation" to provide full funding including travel expenses, tuition and miscellaneous expenses and living expenses.
This time the famous An Yi is even more famous, together with his "Jiangnan Enterprise Group", the million-dollar "An Yi Education Foundation" and two new colleges together to become the focus of national attention, An Yi for the first time used his existing popularity and influence, skillfully tied his own enterprises and schools together to promote the whole society, the sensational effect, the positive evaluation far exceeded his expectations, the country's major newspapers and magazines have sent reporters to Nanchang, A series of interviews and repeated reports on An Yi and his enterprises, talents and young students from all over the country flocked to Nanchang, a long queue formed in front of the recruitment point, and young people gathered at the entrance of the military recruitment office, which was overcrowded.
Zhou Chongan and his new assistant Le Cheng, who had just returned from studying in the United States, stood under the autumn sun on the east bank of Chengbi Lake, looking at the office building covering an area of 2,500 square meters that had been built to the second floor, and at the piles of steel and cement on the construction site and the sweaty builders. He will never forget the night when he returned to his home in Shanghai a month ago, An Yi, who had just been separated in Nanchang a few days ago, suddenly appeared in front of the extremely lost Zhou Chong'an, An Yi locked the two personal guards out of the door, pulled out a stool and sat in front of the surprised but anxious Zhou Chong'an as if he had entered his own home, staring at Zhou Chong'an's eyes coldly with his unique domineering air, until Zhou Chong'an no longer dared to look at him, and then told Zhou Chong'an's detailed family history and experience one by one. Then he used very harsh language to damage Zhou Chong'an's literati temperament and dignity, and finally left a sentence and turned to leave: I will stay in the newspaper preparatory office at No. 198 Father Jin Road tonight, and I will leave Shanghai and return to Nanchang by boat at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
At eleven o'clock that night, Zhou Chong'an, who was full of excitement, entered the baroque three-story western-style building on Father Jin Road, and An Yi, who personally went downstairs to open the door, put his arms around his shoulders and laughed heartily.
It was only at eight o'clock in the morning that Zhou Chongan hurriedly returned home in a newly purchased car from the soon-to-be-established newspaper, packed his luggage and rushed to the wharf with An Yi.
Since then, Zhou Chongan, the former reporter of the "Declaration", has become the general manager of the "Jiangnan Enterprise Group", and at the same time has become the executive director of the nine-member board of directors composed of Kong Xiangxi, Ou Yaoting and An Yi.
Three days later, Zhou Chongan learned that An Yi's partner was so strong, and he learned that forty percent of the shares of the grain, oil and food factory, which had begun trial production of military compressed biscuits and was installing two canning production lines, actually belonged to two well-known lieutenant generals in the revolutionary army: one was Yu Feipeng, who was still serving as the quartermaster minister of the Ninghan Confluence Political Axe Military Committee, and the other was Jiang Dingwen, who had just been promoted to deputy commander of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army!
Zhou Chong'an lived in Building No. 7, with his own special car, full-time driver and personal guard, An Yi gave Zhou Chong'an great trust, never interfered with Zhou Chong'an's regular management work, let him recruit personnel to form his own management team, and actively cooperated with Zhou Chong'an to formulate a complete set of enterprise management system and personnel assessment system, and from time to time put forward very insightful and refreshing business management suggestions that benefited Zhou Chong'an.
Zhou Chongan soon entered the role, half a month with his profound knowledge, rigorous style and diligent and efficient performance, won the unanimous praise and respect of Lao Shoudao and other veterans, Zhou Chongan except for sleeping and every morning before 10 o'clock in the morning this time needs to meet to discuss decision-making time, rarely stay in the temporary general manager office in Building 7, his figure frequently appeared in various factories, workshops, docks, transportation companies and construction sites.
There is only one place in the entire enterprise group that is not under his control, that is, the extremely secret arsenal that Lao Shoudao is personally responsible for, but although this important department is not under Zhou Chong'an's jurisdiction, An Yi still explained to him truthfully, and personally took him into the production base that was being secretly built by the brothers of the newly formed engineer battalion, and into the production and research and development workshop hidden deep in the mountain, so that he could see the production of weapons that he had never seen before.
Zhou Chongan was extremely grateful for An Yi's trust, and Zhou Chong'an was also shocked by An Yi's mechanical knowledge, arsenal manufacturing technology, and lofty development goals, he knew very well what he was seeing, and he also knew that the burden on his body was heavier.
The European-style five-storey building and two three-storey auxiliary buildings under construction will become the tallest landmark building in old Nanchang, the first, second and second floors of the building are department stores, the third to fifth floors are hotel rooms, and the auxiliary building that is pouring the foundation is 35 meters away from the construction building, which is the future office building of Zhou Chong'an, and the various management departments of the enterprise group will be concentrated in this auxiliary building.
At this moment, Zhou Chongan felt very interesting that Zheng Jinglun, a Guangdong engineer of Shanghai Yuanheng Construction Company, who undertook the construction of these three buildings, has become the target of An Yi's eagerness to recruit.
Another important reason is that Zhou Chong'an's newly listed "Jiangnan Construction Company" has recruited more than 500 stonemasons, masons and strong workers, and what is lacking is engineers with professional skills and can undertake the survey and design of high-rise buildings, roads and bridges. So An Yi seemed very anxious, and said to Zhou Chongan twice:
More than 30 teachers hired from the United States, Germany, and Belarus on the beach will arrive within a month, and the teachers poached from various universities in China will also have eyebrows.
Zheng Jinglun, who is relatively thin, is only about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a rattan helmet just produced by the rattan weaving workshop of the top hardware factory, wearing a pair of gold wire glasses on his face, and a large mouth with a clear outline under the slightly hook-shaped high nose, he saw Zhou Chong'an coming, hurriedly put down the drawings, briefly explained a few words to the two assistants, crossed a pile of imported rebar and came to Zhou Chong'an to say hello, refused the cigarettes handed by Zhou Chong'an, and asked with a smile:
"Brother Zhou comes here every day, and he doesn't worry about the difficulty of washing an expensive suit?"
Zhou Chongan shook his head and smiled: "How come?" Compared to you, I'm comfortable, Brother Jinglun, have you considered our commission? ”
Zheng Jinglun nodded solemnly: "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, it's not easy!" According to the requirements, the teaching building of the college must have distinctive characteristics, but the construction period is only more than four months, so I can only choose the design scheme of the three-storey building, if we must maintain the characteristics of European architecture, it is difficult to build within half a year, therefore, I have been hesitant to take on this design task. ”
"Do you have any good advice from Brother Jinglun?"
The shrewd Zhou Chongan seems to have seen something in Zheng Jinglun's eyes.
Zheng Jinglun pondered for a moment, raised his head and replied: "If you adopt a combination of Chinese and Western architectural style, replace the elaborate decoration with a bright and concise shape, replace the Western-style tower and the decorative part with a heavy eaves roof, it can still be completed on schedule, if it can be settled, it is necessary to partially modify the school building under construction, otherwise the whole campus building will be very uncoordinated after it is built, I went to see it yesterday afternoon, the construction progress is very fast, and it will be too late to change it after the school building is capped." ”
Zhou Chongan thought for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Brother Jinglun, how about you being in charge of the design and planning of the entire campus building?" ”
Zheng Jinglun was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand again and again: "Where does the little brother have this level?" Haha, aren't there a couple of White Russian engineers in full charge? It is enough to have them, although those White Russians are old-fashioned, they are still very level, and the younger brother has talked with them for more than an hour, and it can be seen that they are very experienced and dedicated. ”
"Brother Jinglun, how about you lead them?"
Zhou Chongan suddenly said this, and saw Zheng Jinglun staring at him blankly, and then looked at his eyes with deep meaning: "As far as the junior brother knows, Brother Jinglun has not been duly recognized in Yuanheng for four years, and he still can't get the company's shares and job promotions.
If Brother Jinglun can afford our Jiangnan Group, the younger brother is willing to recommend Brother Jinglun to the board of directors as the manager and chief designer of the construction company, and suggest that the board of directors give Brother Jinglun 5% of the shares of the company.
Brother Jinglun should see that in the next few years, Jiangnan Group will invest heavily in infrastructure construction, and buildings, factories and residential areas are being planned, which will definitely allow Brother Jinglun to display his talents and engrave his name on the cornerstone of the building!
The younger brother and other directors of the board of directors are very impressed by Brother Jinglun's talent, personality and professionalism, and very much hope that Brother Jinglun can join in and become a member of Jiangnan Group. The younger brother still has some affairs to deal with, so I won't bother Brother Jinglun, how about the younger brother invite Brother Jinglun to have a drink in the evening? ”
Zheng Jinglun lowered his head and thought for a moment, raised his head and smiled slightly: "The dishes of the old Sichuan in Huxi are good, I heard that they have also started to sell foreign wine, so I will invite Brother Zhou to get drunk tonight!" ”
"Haha! Deal! Zhou Chongan stretched out his hand.
Zheng Jinglun held Zhou Chongan's hand tightly and smiled: "A word is a certainty!" ”
Satisfied, Zhou Chongan took his assistant across the small garden by the lake, walked through the gate of the compound of the recruitment office to the non-commissioned officer base, and showed a special pass to the sentry guarding the gate to enter.
Zhou Chongan walked behind a battalion officer and soldier who was sitting neatly on the east side of the high platform, and whispered a few words to a major who greeted him, and the major immediately ran to An Yi, who was directly in front of the high platform, and whispered a report.
An Yi, who was wearing a dark blue literati robe, soon came to Zhou Chong'an's side, no matter how Zhou Chong'an looked at it, he felt that An Yi's dress was nondescript, and it was very inconsistent with the officers and soldiers wearing new black military uniforms in the audience, and couldn't help but whisper to An Yi, who was greeted by the spring breeze: "Why do you keep wearing this dress recently?" No matter how you look at it, it feels awkward. ”
An Yi shrugged his shoulders and said self-deprecatingly: "I have been expelled from the military and the party, and I am a complete civilian, what are you wearing if you don't wear this?" Besides, I don't always wear this dress, I have four pieces of the same clothes, and I wear them every day, where do you say it's so unbearable? ”
Le Cheng on the side couldn't help laughing, Zhou Chongan shook his head and looked at the high platform where the winners and losers were separated: "What is this for?" ”
"Military selection, Lao Ding, they have to pick out another 150 people from among the more than 3,000 brothers, and Xia Jian's Fengcheng garrison has also sent more than 100 people to participate in the competition."
After An Yi finished explaining, he asked, "You came to me in such a hurry, there must be something important, right?" ”
"Brother Jinglun invited me to the old Han Tou's tavern for a drink tonight." Zhou Chongan blinked after speaking.
An Yi was overjoyed: "It's done?" ”
"It is estimated that it was done, I originally invited it, but Brother Jinglun said that he would invite." Zhou Chongan explained easily.
An Yi's face was full of excitement: "Don't invite you, I'll invite you tonight, haha!" ”
