Just when Cao Zhiqiang took Xiang Dongfang to the workshop, carefully visited the freshly baked "Little Red House", and explained his convenience box plan in detail, Director Xiao, who was squatting at the door of the workshop smoking and sentry, suddenly shouted: "Director Cao, Director Li is here!" ”

Cao Zhiqiang, who was talking to Xiang Dongfang, was stunned, turned his head to look at the voice, and happened to see Director Li and Director Xiao walking towards him one after another.

Seeing that it was really Director Li, Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly got out of the convenience booth and walked quickly towards Director Li.

And behind Cao Zhiqiang, Xiang Dongfang also hurriedly got out of the convenience booth and kept up with small steps.

"Director Li!" Cao Zhiqiang ran to Director Li and immediately said with a smile, "What wind blew you here?" ”

Director Li looked at Cao Zhiqiang, who was grinning, and then at Xiang Dongfang, who was following behind him, and frowned slightly: "Xiao Cao, you come with me, I have something to tell you alone." ”

After speaking, Director Li first put his hands behind his back and walked in the direction of the small red house.

Cao Zhiqiang blinked, asked Xiang Dongfang to wait here, and then quickly followed behind Director Li.

After Director Li walked to the small red house and stood still, and Cao Zhiqiang also followed, Director Li turned around, glanced at the people behind Cao Zhiqiang, and made sure that Xiang Dongfang and Director Xiao couldn't hear what they were saying, so he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Cao, what's the matter with you, how did you play with women here?" Aren't you afraid of something big? ”

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Director Li, the conscience of heaven and earth, I don't play with any women." That woman is my newly recruited secretary, she is a college student, by the way, she is still a graduate student, a high-achieving student, a talent I finally poached! ”

"College students?" Director Li frowned.

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "A college student from Beijing Normal University, a graduate student, a serious person, by the way, Lao Chen also knows about this." ”

"That's not going to work either." Director Li frowned and said, "Xiao Cao, this is not your publishing house, this is a machinery factory!" There are a lot of people here, you said that you brought a young and beautiful young woman here, and asked Director Xiao to guard the door of the workshop, you, what do you think when you let other employees see it? ”

"What can you think?" Cao Zhiqiang also frowned and said, "She is my secretary, and I plan to put her in charge of this project in the future, and bring her over to have a look, it's normal?" ”

"Lake Tu!" Director Li said with his hands behind his back.

"Xiao Cao, you are different now, you are not only the president of the publishing house, you are also the deputy director of the tertiary production office of our factory, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a high authority.

The problem is that at a young age, you suddenly became the deputy director of the tertiary production office, responsible for the tertiary production business of the entire factory, and many people have a lot of complaints about your appointment.

I can't cut the government subsidy in half now, and the other half of the salary depends on what you provide, after all, stabilizing people's hearts is the first thing, right? ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, indicating that Director Li's words were very right.

Indeed, Director Li discussed with Cao Zhiqiang at the beginning, saying that since June, since the municipal government has reduced the subsidy by half, the other half of the funding gap will be temporarily provided by the Hongguang Publishing House controlled by Cao Zhiqiang in the name of loans.

…

Let's not say that this money is only more than 200,000 yuan, which is not much, and besides, this money was actually officially issued in July, so it is not a big problem.

However, what Director Li meant was that in order to stabilize people's hearts, he did not want to say that the government subsidy would be halved first, but planned to talk about it in a few months after things stabilized.

Because at that time, when the majority of factory workers find out, even if the government subsidy is halved and the wages are not reduced, they will not panic.

On the contrary, if they talk about the government subsidy now, they don't know, or don't believe that Cao Zhiqiang's Hongguang Publishing House can subsidize the machinery factory every month, if it starts now, it will be troublesome.

In fact, the halving of government subsidies is probably the intention of saving this test.

If Director Li can't calm the emotions of the factory workers, it means that he is incompetent, and that the organization and discipline of the factory are completely gone.

At that time, the Ministry of Metallurgy, the direct boss of the machinery factory, had nothing to say, and the relevant departments of the local government could naturally absorb the Hongguang Machinery Factory at a faster speed.

To put it bluntly, from the standpoint of Shougang and the local government departments, they don't want Hongguang Machinery Factory to be strong.

Because Hongguang Machinery Factory stays for one more month, the government will subsidize it for one month, even if it is halved, it will also be subsidized, and it will be all money.

But if just because the wages of one month are halved, the workers start to make trouble, it means that the factory has a big problem, and naturally there is no need to give a grace period of half a year, and mergers and acquisitions can be rectified in advance, which can save a lot of expenses and worries.

Of course, Director Li knew about this scheme, otherwise, he would not have supported Cao Zhiqiang so much, didn't he just grasp this life-saving straw and not let it go?

However, after Cao Zhiqiang came up with real money and Director Li was able to get through the current salary crisis, Lao Lao's political literacy was re-reflected.

To put it simply, Director Li didn't want to advance Cao Zhiqiang's trump card of Hongguang Publishing House.

After all, not many people know how high the actual income of the publishing house is.

For most people in the factory, they only know that the Hongguang Publishing House is a subordinate unit of the machinery factory, but they don't know that the Hongguang Publishing House is actually taken by Cao Zhiqiang himself with his ability, and the relationship with the machinery factory is a contract management relationship.

Most of the factory workers only heard that Cao Zhiqiang was appointed as a vice president because he was famous for writing poems, and later he was temporarily promoted to president because of the corruption of the previous president and the peach dispute.

In other words, at present, most of the factory workers only think that Cao Zhiqiang is a lucky literary and artistic youth, and the so-called president is just a decoration, and the real one who has the final say should be the newly sent vice president, that is, Chen Jiabang, the former secretary of the factory director.

There is nothing wrong with this idea, after all, Cao Zhiqiang's qualifications are too shallow, his age is too young, and it has not been long since he really joined the machinery factory to work, if he can become the leader of a subordinate unit in a short period of time, no one dares to believe it, or he refuses to believe it.

…

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang does have a set of poems to write, and everyone knows that the poet Qiangzi who is in the limelight now is him, so they all think that it is Director Li's love for talent, and his ups and downs in life gave him this opportunity, which can be regarded as improving the style of the publishing house.

However, if you want the majority of workers to believe that Cao Zhiqiang is the actual number one of the publishing house, and in just two or three months, he has earned millions of dollars, then they absolutely do not believe it.

In fact, whether ordinary workers believe it or not, Director Li doesn't care, what he cares about is Shougang and the government.

Once they know that the publishing house is so profitable, there will be other moths if they don't do it well.

For example, he took a salary at the bottom of the kettle, used high returns to persuade Cao Zhiqiang to change jobs, and then set up a new publishing house with the nature of a public institution for Cao Zhiqiang to master.

It's no joke, they can do it.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about a unit like a publishing house, the Beijing Municipal Government is fully capable of opening one on its own, and it is not difficult at all.

And the reason why Hongguang Publishing House is so powerful and makes money so ruthlessly is that Cao Zhiqiang is there, if he doesn't have it, then this publishing house will only be an empty shell, which is not worth mentioning at all.

Others don't understand this, but Director Li has been deeply aware of it.

Because the most profitable product of Hongguang Publishing House is the "Jianghu Xing", and this "Jianghu Xing" is a poetry collection written by Cao Zhiqiang himself, and even not only the works are written by himself, but the entire follow-up marketing plan is also operated by himself, and then it is a remarkable achievement.

It can be said that Hongguang Publishing House was able to fire the first shot and get off to a good start, and ninety percent of the credit is due to him Cao Zhiqiang.

Without Cao Zhiqiang to provide products, without Cao Zhiqiang to provide channels, without Cao Zhiqiang's various unbelievable means, such as co-opting self-employed individuals and privately establishing a sales channel with individual booksellers, how could he make so much money in such a short time.

Therefore, Director Li understands very well that it is not important whether the publishing house is published or not, but the important thing is Cao Zhiqiang.

The mountain is not high, there are immortals, and he, Cao Zhiqiang, is the immortal!

If Director Li wants to survive the catastrophe smoothly, and can make a fortune before retirement, and enjoy his old age in the future, he must grasp the cash cow of Cao Zhiqiang.

Why did he hold Cao Zhiqiang firmly? There is only the position of director of the machine factory.

However, even if Cao Zhiqiang is pushed to the top, it cannot be achieved overnight, and it must come step by step.

The first step is to let the majority of employees eat Cao Zhiqiang's favor, so that the hands of people are short and the mouths of people are soft.

At this point, Director Li did not hide his secrets, but put his heart to heart with Cao Zhiqiang and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Director Li told Cao Zhiqiang that in fact, the majority of grassroots workers did not have any complaints about the factory rectification, but would be very happy.

Because according to the rectification plan of the relevant departments, after the rectification of Hongguang Machinery Factory, the production department was merged into Shougang and continued to become a part of Shougang.

The non-producing tertiary industry departments are directly assigned to the local government and transformed into public institutions, together with land and real estate.

In this way, the workers of the production department will automatically become the workers of Shougang at that time, and the workers of public institutions will become the employees of the public institutions.

…

That is to say, after the rectification, most of the cadres and workers have a new place to go, and they will not be dismissed and laid off, they just change their identities, and then obey the organization's assignment, go to new positions, and do new jobs.

Of course, given that the real income of factory workers was higher during this period, the basic salary of those who became business employees may remain the same, but the ticket benefits may be reduced a bit.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the food stamps issued by the factories themselves, this kind of food stamps that only factory workers have, really only factory workers have, and government agencies and institutions do not have this kind of food stamps for the difference in nature.

In addition, the number of tickets such as industrial rolls and bicycle tickets that factory workers can obtain at this time also exceeds that of government agencies and institutions, the reason is that state-owned enterprises and factories have an internal communication channel during this period, and they can trade some things with each other in a small range, which is not available to local government departments.

For example, if a state-owned enterprise factory engages in a great alliance with the people's commune in the village, the factory can provide industrial products and the people's commune can provide agricultural products.

However, if you are a local city government, you will certainly not be able to engage in tandem with a rural commune, and the government will have to eat the finances in a unified manner.

Therefore, on the whole, ordinary people in this period were able to enter state-owned enterprises as workers, and few were willing to go to government agencies and institutions.

But if the tertiary workers of the factory post their wages, or if their wages are halved, it is better to go to work in public institutions.

Therefore, the factory reform in this period is basically this kind of big fish swallowing small fish co-optation mode, and a large number of workers will basically not be dismissed.

The wave of layoffs of workers really did not appear until after the 90s.

However, it is precisely because the grassroots workers have little relationship that talents like Director Li are in a hurry.

Because once the factory is reorganized, high-level people such as Director Li and Secretary Dong are the real ones who will lose their interests.

Therefore, he must think of a way to let the cadres and workers at the grassroots level also tie up with him, Director Li and Cao Zhiqiang.

Only by tying up the cadres and workers at the grassroots level to themselves can they be invincible.

After all, the relevant leaders in this period actually valued the grassroots cadres and workers the most, not the very few high-level leaders of Director Li.

If you think about it this way, Director Li's concealment strategy is very simple.

He just wanted to temporarily conceal that the municipal government only paid half of the subsidy, and then let Cao Zhiqiang's publishing house pay to make up for the gap.

Once Cao Zhiqiang fills this gap, all the cadres and workers of the factory will be equivalent to taking Cao Zhiqiang's money, and of course it is equivalent to taking the money of Director Li, after all, Director Li is the supreme leader who actually has the final say.

When everyone gets used to the money for a few months, when Director Li talks about the matter again, everyone will naturally be weak-hearted.

If you know that Director Li and Cao Zhiqiang subsidize everyone with their own money, then how can everyone be willing to make trouble?

And Cao Zhiqiang is still engaged in the reform of the tertiary industry, looking for a new way out for the workers of the tertiary industry.

Once the reform of the transformation of the tertiary industry is successful, the majority of tertiary workers in the factory feel that if they continue to stay in the machinery factory, their income will be higher and their treatment will be better, then they will prefer to stay in the Hongguang Machinery Factory, keep the Hongguang Machinery Factory, and do not want to be integrated and annexed.

Once the majority of grassroots workers want to keep the machinery factory, the leaders above will not be reluctant.

This is the voice of more than 8,000 people, which leader dares to ignore it?

As long as the Hongguang Machinery Factory remains, then he, the factory director, can retire with peace of mind.

Therefore, during this period, we must hide the people below and not let the people below know about the halving of government subsidies.

Even if some well-informed people know about it, they must be silenced as soon as possible, and publicize it as a rumor.

As long as everyone's salary is still paid in full, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating.

Wait for everyone to take Cao Zhiqiang's money for a few months, and then announce the truth, saying that it is for everyone's good, and everyone will have nothing to say.

I have to say that Director Li is worthy of being a master of playing with people's hearts, and this bit of controlling people's hearts is really understood by him.

Actually, that's fine.

With the old fox Director Li shielding Cao Zhiqiang from the wind and rain, Cao Zhiqiang only needs to make money and start a career with peace of mind.

This can be regarded as a division of labor and cooperation, and each performs its own duties.
