After listening to Chen Jiabang's statement, Cao Zhiqiang knew his hardships and understood the predicament that Hongguang Factory is facing now.

To put it bluntly, the Hongguang Factory has long been an abandoned child who has been abandoned.

The reason why it is popular again now is not because of how this factory is, but because he Cao Zhiqiang is strong enough to cover this red light factory.

Once he Cao Zhiqiang withdrew, or let outsiders think that he didn't care about the Red Light Factory anymore.

Then this red light factory will immediately fall and scatter, and it will be eaten up by the people around it.

Once they start to eat the Hongguang factory, subordinate enterprises such as Hongguang Publishing House, Hongguang Department Store, Hongguang Transportation Company, Hongguang Catering Company, Chaoyang Electronics Company, etc., will be laughed at by other units.

Of course, when other units laugh at this, they will definitely not move Cao Zhiqiang's interests, on the contrary, they will give Cao Zhiqiang greater convenience, at least business as usual.

Doing so is not only beneficial, but also the key is to gain Cao Zhiqiang's own power.

It's true, and you don't lose money.

And the unit that wants to do this, Chen Jiabang said it very clearly, it is the old superior of the Hongguang Factory - the Metallurgical Department!

In addition, there is also the Ministry of Culture, which also covets the units at Cao Zhiqiang's disposal, such as Hongguang Publishing House and Hongguang Film Factory.

Don't think it's a joke.

Not exactly!

Because during this period, these government agencies and units can also directly engage in enterprises.

Otherwise, where would there be so many affiliated enterprises now?

In addition, from Cao Zhiqiang's point of view, this kind of rectification is also beneficial to him.

Because once Cao Zhiqiang's units are separated from the Hongguang Factory and directly attached to the ministry units, Cao Zhiqiang's own power will also increase.

To put it simply, in the past, these units controlled by Cao Zhiqiang had a general head of the Hongguang Factory, and above the Hongguang Factory, it was the Ministry of Metallurgy.

Now, the metallurgical side is planning to remove the middle layer of the Hongguang Factory and directly connect with Cao Zhiqiang, which can bring benefits to Cao Zhiqiang, which is self-evident.

Even, they may also plan to give Cao Zhiqiang a serious compilation.

At that time, Cao Zhiqiang will be a serious cadre, and he will no longer be a marginal cadre like he is now.

However, as long as Director Li doesn't give up for a day, those people above are embarrassed to come hard.

However, once Director Li wants to retire, and the next director is not Cao Zhiqiang.

Then they have all kinds of reasons to ban the Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Theoretically, they could directly rectify the Hongguang Factory without the consent of the director of the Hongguang Machinery Factory.

After all, the Hongguang Factory is a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Metallurgy, and the relationship is there, in a word.

It's just because Secretary Dong and Director Li's prestige and connections are there, and they don't want to look ugly, so they continue to drag it like this.

Also, they didn't want Cao Zhiqiang to misunderstand because of this, so they continued like this.

But in fact, they have a lot of dissatisfaction with Hongguang Machinery Factory.

This is not the kind of companies that Cao Zhiqiang is completely interested in.

It's the red light factory, in the eyes of the people above, it is indeed a burden.

The more than 8,000 people, especially the large number of retired workers, are going to cost money.

Cao Zhiqiang's previous method was to open new companies and new channels to provide more jobs.

This approach has indeed proven to be effective.

But the problem is that Cao Zhiqiang's method can only be effective by himself, and others can't learn it if they want to.

However, there is not just a red light plant under the Ministry of Metallurgy, there are too many similar factories.

Once the example of the Hongguang Factory is there, and everyone has the same example, then it will be a big problem.

If other factories learn from the red light factory, the gains outweigh the losses in the end, and the losses have to be given from above.

Those people saw the problems inside, so they tried their best to rectify the red light factory.

However, there is another Cao Zhiqiang who can't be provoked, which is a headache.

So they actually hope that Cao Zhiqiang will fall out with Hongguang Factory.

Once Cao Zhiqiang fell out with Hongguang Factory, they could take advantage of the situation to throw an olive branch to Cao Zhiqiang and let Cao Zhiqiang become their person.

"I have a general understanding of the situation."

After listening to Chen Jiabang's explanation, Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"Lao Chen, I still say the same thing, I can't be the factory director, I have my own difficulties."

Chen Jiabang frowned and said: "If you don't become the factory director, the Hongguang Factory will be finished!" ”

After saying this, he found that Cao Zhiqiang frowned, and Chen Jiabang said again: "Don't think I'm alarmist, what I say is the truth."

Of course, I say this not for my own sake.

You know, even if the Hongguang factory is gone, I won't have a problem myself.

After all, I am still the vice president of Hongguang Publishing House and the general manager of Hongguang Department Store.

Even if the Hongguang Machinery Factory is gone, my positions should not change much.

So, I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about the entire Hongguang Factory!

To put it bluntly, I don't want to watch the Hongguang Factory disappear like this.

Well, how to put it, I have worked and lived there for so long, and I also have feelings.

And there must be many, many people like me.

The current situation is far less relaxed than others think.

The top has been staring, mainly staring at Director Li.

Once Director Li went down, the new director could not convince the public and could not suppress the form.

The ban of the red light factory is a certainty, and no one can do anything about it.

Because that's what they say, you know? ”

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said, "It's not as bad as you think, right?"

You are the factory director, I am the deputy factory director, and then I fully support you, isn't it? Is it that serious? ”

"Zhiqiang, you're still too naïve." Chen Jiabang shook his head, "It would be nice if things were that easy." ”

After a short pause, Chen Jiabang said: "Under the new factory director responsibility system, the difference between the factory director and the deputy factory director is only one word, in fact, the power difference is too big, and the responsibility is too big.

If you don't use this factory, they can forcibly ban the red light factory, in this case, it is actually equivalent to not confronting you head-on, and you can't resist them, because you are not qualified.

Only when you become a factory director can you have the qualifications to oppose them and harden them.

Or to put it more explicitly.

When you become the director of the factory, once they want to ban the red light factory, they will directly oppose you.

When the time comes, you can justifiably go up to the relationship to find someone, and everyone will feel normal and will help you.

But once you're just a deputy factory director, you don't have that much power and responsibility.

At that time, even if you want to keep the Hongguang Factory and want to find someone in the relationship, such as going to the big guy, people will have an excuse to excuse themselves, they can not help with this, and even take the initiative to connect you and let you cooperate with them again.

When the time comes, they will give you various levels and treatments, and you will have nothing to say, at least the people behind you will have nothing to say.

I say that, can you understand? ”

Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin: "You mean, with great power comes great responsibility, and vice versa." So if I want to keep the Hongguang factory, I have to take on greater responsibility, and this requires more power, is that what does that mean? ”

"That's right!" Chen Jiabang smiled, "It seems that you really understand what I mean." ”

Cao Zhiqiang sighed and took a leisurely puff of his cigar: "Why is it so hard, do you have to do this?" ”

Chen Jiabang also sighed: "The times are changing, the situation is also changing, and many times, we are just responding passively. ”

After taking another puff of cigar, Chen Jiabang said: "Moreover, our Hongguang Factory, there are still two troubles now, if you don't cover them, these two troubles in the future are likely to be two attack points." ”

"What's the trouble?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"The shipping company, and the sales department you run." Chen Jiabang said.

"Transport company? Sales department? Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Jiabang smiled: "What, you forgot all the things you did yourself?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jiabang explained to Cao Zhiqiang.

When Cao Zhiqiang heard this, he reacted, it was really what he did at the beginning.

The transportation company, in fact, is the Hongguang Transportation Company, which was originally a partnership between the Hongguang Publishing House and the Hongguang Machinery Factory, and they were all people from the security department and the transportation department of the original Hongguang Machinery Factory.

As for the sales department, it refers to the sales department of Hongguang Publishing House, which is the self-employed people who were originally incorporated, and after they are co-opted, they are regarded as supernumerary personnel, that is, informal employees who are not paid salaries and are only included in the social security system, with Li Youfu as the leader.

Through this method, Cao Zhiqiang gathered the original self-employed people who were fighting alone, and let them use the name of Hongguang Publishing House, combined with the name of the transportation company, to distribute and sell goods everywhere, and everyone cooperated in the form of commissions.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with doing this, and there was no big problem.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang later stopped focusing on the publishing house, the situation changed.

At the beginning, the sales department and transportation company were engaged in the opportunity to sell Cao Zhiqiang's "Jianghu Xing".

Due to the best-selling of "Jianghu Xing", such a sales team was built.

In this era, being able to engage in this model of self-production and self-sale can be regarded as being at the forefront of the times.

After all, the previous model was that the producer was only in charge of production, and the seller was only in charge of sales.

For example, the previous publishing house only managed to publish and print, and as for the specific sales, they were all handed over to Xinhua bookstores, department stores, post offices and other units.

But Cao Zhiqiang's own production and sales method is equivalent to maximizing profits, and he has also established his own sales channel.

Thanks to the great charm of "Jianghu Xing", this sales team is doing a good job.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang finished publishing "Jianghu Xing" and also released a few tapes, he went directly to Japan and ignored the publishing house and audio-visual company, the situation changed.

Cao Zhiqiang can ignore it, but the people in the sales department and those in the transportation company always have to continue to eat.

So they started working on other products.

Anyway, it's nothing more than buying low and selling high.

The self-employed associations of the sales department continued to resell all kinds of pirated tapes and pirated videotapes in the name of Hongguang Publishing House and even Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Even all kinds of piracy in the south, such as those martial arts imported from Hong Kong and Taiwan, they have begun to resell.

The result, of course, is a good result.

You must know that during this period, the domestic transportation channels were far less smooth than those in later generations.

Therefore, between the south and the north, whoever can control the circulation channels will have the initiative.

And the Hongguang Machinery Factory, with its train quota, itself has an important circulation channel.

In addition, they have their own fleet of cars, which can carry out transportation over short and medium distances.

In this way, transportation between provinces is carried out by train lines.

Then by car, the transportation is carried out at the municipal level.

With different regions and different prices, they have made a lot of money.

Among them, in fact, a large part of them were left behind by themselves, and only a small part was handed over.

After all, no one knows how much money was sold in the specific sales link.

Hongguang Machinery Factory and Hongguang Publishing House are just doing wholesale business.

However, to put it bluntly, this kind of business is still buying and selling, which is a kind of side-rubbing behavior.

Say you're guilty, you didn't run at all.

It's just that there was a red light factory covering it before, and this matter has passed for the time being.

However, that doesn't mean that the people above don't know what you're doing.

Once they want to get their hands dirty, that's the best way to break through.

As long as these evidence of resale are presented, the Hongguang Factory can be dumbfounded, and can only obediently accept the above requirements.

Here another problem arises, and that is the question of the person responsible.

If Cao Zhiqiang becomes the factory director, he is the person responsible.

Once this happens, those people will be jealous and dare not convict easily, which will offend Cao Zhiqiang and the big people behind him.

But if the factory director is not Cao Zhiqiang, but a person like Chen Jiabang, it will be easy to do.

They can clearly put the blame on Chen Jiabang and use this to warn Cao Zhiqiang.

At that time, if Cao Zhiqiang wants to save Chen Jiabang, he can only compromise with them.

Otherwise, Chen Jiabang, the factory director, that is, the person responsible, is estimated to go to prison.

Anyway, as long as Cao Zhiqiang is not the factory director, they have too many ways to clear up Cao Zhiqiang's involvement.

For example, they can say that although Cao Zhiqiang is the president of the publishing house, he is only in name only, only responsible for publishing works, and the specific operations are Chen Jiabang's gang.

In particular, the cashier, accountant and others are all from the Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Cao Zhiqiang alone, how can he manage these people?

And Cao Zhiqiang will go to Japan soon, and he doesn't have time to do this.

Well, anyway, as long as they want to exonerate Cao Zhiqiang, there are always excuses and ways.

It is precisely because of these that Chen Jiabang did not want to be the director of this factory.

Because once you become the director of this red light factory, you will sit on the fire and roast, and sooner or later you will be unlucky.

Chen Jiabang does have feelings for the Hongguang Factory.

But if there is an emotional price, that is, he went in, and the factory is gone, just to get past the addiction of the factory director, then it is not necessary.

Otherwise, who is willing to give up the power and title of the factory director. (End of chapter)
