Chapter 18: Friendship
Zheng Jiayi soon had news from his side...... Within a few days, Zheng Jiayi hung up the phone to the battalion headquarters!
"Battalion commander!" Zheng Jiayi said excitedly: "I have successfully gathered a group of comrades-in-arms...... As soon as they heard that you had summoned them and that they had a job, they came without saying a word...... We're only halfway there, and there are still a lot of people on the way! ”
"How many are there?" I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this.
"Total number of people...... There are more than 100 of them! Zheng Jiayi replied excitedly: "Because the people haven't arrived yet, I can't tell how many people there are...... Report to the battalion commander when you are ready! ”
"So many?" I couldn't help but frown.
secretly said in his heart that this Zheng Jiayi is really brainless...... Our capital cost is only more than 10,000 yuan, which is only enough to run a small business...... You should start small! For example, this wholesale department...... Twenty people can do everything, then you call more than a hundred...... What does this make the others do? Not to mention the rest, just eating, drinking, and living...... It's going to run out in a few months, so what else can I do!
"Yes! Battalion commander! Zheng Jiayi on the other end of the phone still didn't understand the situation at all, and still said happily: "I'll sum it up like this...... More than 100 may be more than that, because more than 100 people are still contacting comrades who have not found jobs, and some of them are the battalion commander's idea when they hear about it...... This quits the job, and that's it...... I was your soldier in the army, and now I have to follow you when I am demobilized, yes! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but secretly complain, but I didn't expect that this reputation was also a burden......
"Zheng Jiayi ......"
"Here!"
I spoke into the microphone and said, "This is business...... You have to learn a little bit more, it's not like fighting. Pay attention to what kind of people are powerful ......"
"Hmm! This ...... "Only then did Zheng Jiayi realize if he had done something wrong.
"Doing business is a science!" I said, "You call so many people at once...... Earn a hundred dollars and two hundred people a point. Five cents per talent. As a result, no one survived...... If twenty people finish the work, each person can get five pieces, so that they can survive, they can continue, and they can last for a long time...... Do you understand? ”
"Battalion commander......" Zheng Jiayi said embarrassedly: "I ...... I don't understand any of this...... I thought...... It's ......"
Then Zheng Jiayi asked a little strangely: "Battalion commander...... So if we can only have 20 people and no one else, how can we achieve the problem of helping demobilized veterans? They are our comrades-in-arms, I ...... I can't choose one over the other. If none of them have ...... That...... Then I don't want it either! ”
"Alas!" I couldn't help but sigh: "You can slowly grow the company...... When the company grows, it needs more people, so it will slowly recruit them! Won't there be more and more people helping at that time? Now call in all at once...... The total is only more than 10,000 yuan, and the operating costs are deducted...... That's enough for you to live for a few months? ”
At this time, I couldn't help but blame myself for being confused, why didn't I explain this matter to Zheng Jiayi in the first place? I only blame myself for too many things, I can't think of such meticulousness! It's all called now...... Because there is comradeship-in-arms in it, it is not possible to let them come, and it is not possible to persuade them to go back!
After being silent for a while, Zheng Jiayi replied, "Battalion commander...... Just now, a few of our comrades summed it up and felt that what you said made sense...... You are planning for the long term, and it is for our good! We are too short-sighted. Turning a good thing into a bad thing......"
"It's useless to talk about that now!" I said, "It's imperative to come up with a solution!" ”
"We've already figured it out!" Unexpectedly, Zheng Jiayi replied decisively: "We have discussed...... The comrades who arrived here first didn't work at home anyway, and it was the same everywhere...... If it's coming, it's coming! But we don't put a burden on businesses. We're just waiting here...... Find some manual work or something else and try to support yourself as much as you can...... If we can't live, we can lay on the floor, and we can squeeze it...... Wait for the day when the company wants to hire people, let's count the heads! ”
"This ......" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this: "The soldiers are all ...... Wounded, can you stand it? ”
"We've survived the rain of bullets on the battlefield, what's there to stand it?" Zheng Jiayi replied: "What's more, many people have no work at home and are bored...... How to talk about it when you get together here, there are also people who can talk! Battalion commander...... You tell me? ”
"Okay!" I nodded: "But you have to remember, you must not let these comrades go hungry, try not to lay on the floor...... Cat ear piercing is a little bit arthritic, and it's okay to have several layers of bed like a dormitory! If there is any shortage of medicine...... You must report to me, and if it doesn't work, we'll still make some money...... It's impossible to leave you without medicine! ”
"Yes!" Zheng Jiayi answered on the other end of the phone, but I also heard a few snorts...... Presumably these words moved them!
Alas...... People in this era are so easy to be moved...... Comrades-in-arms who were born and died together, who else can they care about if they don't care!
"So be it!" In the end, I said, "Now it's good to let the comrades-in-arms come by themselves, and don't call too many people...... Otherwise, in the end, it will be a waste of bamboo and blue water! ”
"Yes!" Zheng Jiayi answered again.
When you put the microphone down...... I felt more and more that it was the right decision to find someone outside the army to manage it.
The reason is ...... Doing business is something that sometimes requires turning your face and denying people...... For example, to run an enterprise, we must adhere to one principle...... That is, only those who are competent for this job can be used, and those who are not competent will naturally be fired...... It sounds simple, but what if the person to be fired is his comrade-in-arms? And it's quite difficult at home? Is it even possible to save your own life? Does that make sense?
So...... If I were to be asked or any of our troops to run the enterprise, I am afraid that it would soon be filled with a large number of people who were not up to their jobs...... Eventually, the entire enterprise will collapse!
This proves once again that there are two sides to everything...... There is a good side to friendship, which can make the whole company work together in one direction, but there is also a bad side...... That is, it is not easy to manage, or it is difficult to be objective when managing!
As soon as he put down Zheng Jiayi's phone, the phone rang again soon...... I picked it up and listened, and this time it was the instructor calling!
"Have you seen Comrade Yang Xianjian?" I asked.
"See!" The instructor replied, "I talked to him for a while......
"How's the talk?" I asked.
"This ......," the instructor said hesitantly, "something went wrong......
"Oh, what's the problem?" I couldn't help frowning, it seems that this Yang Xianjin is not like Scar said.
"Let him tell you personally!" The instructor said, "When he heard that the model of this business was what you came up with, he wanted to talk to you!" ”
"No problem!" I say.
It seems that what really attracts this Yang advanced is the money-making method of this wholesaler that I proposed.
"Hello! Homosexuals! A firm and steady voice came from the microphone...... I don't know why, but I thought it sounded familiar, but it felt like it was just a passing moment...... I didn't pay much attention to it.
"Hello! Comrade Yang Xianjian! ”
"Don't get me wrong!" Yang Xianjin on the other end of the phone said: "As soon as I heard that this enterprise was run by the army to take care of demobilized soldiers, I raised my hands in favor!" I myself am a demobilized soldier, and my son is still being cared for in your unit...... Where do I still have a reason not to support it! What's more, the business model you proposed is also very attractive to me......"
"Then ......" I couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "What is the problem that the instructor said?" ”
"That's the case......" Yang Xianjin replied with some embarrassment: "I mean...... This enterprise can't just rely on gangs and factions, don't ...... The term cliques may not be appropriate...... I think it's still the same way we used to pay salaries, and sooner or later there will still be problems. What does the instructor mean...... These people are comrades-in-arms, and there will be no problems, and problems can be solved by ideological education...... But that's the way it can be used on the battlefield, on the battlefield...... Shopping malls are not necessarily suitable! On the battlefield, because they are born and die together, they fight the enemy together...... So the gap in personality is not obvious, because the comparison between life and death is too small! But in a peaceful society, it's different...... At present, contradictions and differences have not yet broken out, and after a long time, this originally good comrade-in-arms may become enemies! ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but nodded, and what Yang Xianjin said was the same situation I encountered just now...... If some soldiers become managers or something, they don't let their former comrades-in-arms be promoted or even let their comrades-in-arms go away, or there is competition in the workplace...... Then the contradiction comes out!
"it! Lao Tzu saved your life on the battlefield back then, and you fired Lao Tzu! You are ungrateful! ”
"Have you forgotten how I took care of you on the battlefield? You're still a soldier I brought out! ”
……
At that time, there will be all kinds of strange theories, and just like Yang Xianjin said...... Then the brothers will become enemies!
"Then what do you mean......" I asked Yang Xianjian.
"I mean my brother settles the score!" Yang Xianjin replied: "Although your idea is very good...... It doesn't make sense to make money according to your business model, but if you don't make it clear...... This company can't do it...... Of course, your original intention is to take care of demobilized soldiers, and I agree with that...... However, I can only guarantee that we should try to employ people from the people you give, and if you don't do well, you should be fired or fired, and if you can't find a suitable candidate, you won't exclude people other than military personnel! ”
After thinking about it, I nodded and replied, "I'm okay with that!" (To be continued......)
