The effect of this family-style exchange with Masashi Sada was very obvious.
The most typical change is that Masashi Sada decided to extend his stay in the mainland and wait until he has attended the opening ceremony of Cao Zhiqiang's publishing house before leaving.
It turned out that this time Masashi Sada came to the mainland, he had no intention of staying longer. He just wanted to return to Japan after discussing the film copyright issue.
Therefore, Masashi Sada's original plan was to stay on the mainland for three days.
But now because I got to know Cao Zhiqiang and planned to cooperate with Cao Zhiqiang, I made a temporary change and extended my stay in the mainland.
After all, no matter what Cao Zhiqiang says, if he doesn't have a real publishing house, it's just empty talk and of no use.
In the next few days, Cao Zhiqiang started a fulfilling and busy schedule again.
First, he wants to buy a house to use as the office of the publishing house.
In fact, the Hongguang Machinery Factory originally wanted Cao Zhiqiang to use the factory's original office location of the Hongguang Magazine Department, which was the office building where the Publicity Department of the Hongguang Machinery Factory belonged.
The advantage of this is that it can save a lot of money, and you can even go to the factory cafeteria for meals.
However, Cao Zhiqiang didn't like it, because in that way, he would not look up or down with the people at Hongguang Machinery Factory, which would have a very low autonomy.
But the office location is too far from Hongguang Machinery Factory.
After all, Hongguang Publishing House is a subordinate unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and some things still have to trouble the main factory.
For example, in the area of printing, it is necessary to prevent the waste from flowing to outsiders and try out the printing presses within the Hongguang Machinery Factory.
Yes, Hongguang Machinery Factory has its own printing workshop, which contains professional printing machines. It is said that they were imported from the Soviet Union when the Soviet Union aided the construction.
Although the machine is old, it is well maintained and is much better than the equipment in many township printing plants.
Of course, this is also the characteristic of state-owned enterprises like Hongguang Machinery Factory, which is that it is large and comprehensive.
In fact, the Hongguang Machinery Factory during this period was basically a small town with all the internal organs.
There are not only production workshops here, but also various supporting industries such as eating, drinking, playing, etc., are also very complete.
Although there are only more than 8,000 people here, in fact this is because too many people were transferred out when we supported the third-line construction and opened branch factories.
It is said that in the 1960s, the scale of the Hongguang Machinery Factory was more than 30,000, no smaller than the scale of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
However, when supporting the third-line construction, Hongguang Machinery Factory was a key factory, and many key personnel were assigned to support fraternal units, including Cao Zhiqiang's father, mother, and Cao Zhiqiang's sister.
On the contrary, the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant was not weakened due to the different nature of the plant and the degree of splitting was relatively low.
But that is also true. Today, the Hongguang Machinery Factory in Beiping has not only a greatly reduced number of people, but also a shortage of technical personnel. It is actually not as good as some branches and brother units that supported the construction in the first place.
For example, the Nanjing Yuhong Machinery Factory, where Cao Zhiqiang's parents once worked, is now much larger than the Hongguang Machinery Factory, and its overall technical level is also higher.
This kind of situation where the main factory is not as good as the branch factory is also common in this era, so it is difficult to explain the pros and cons of supporting construction.
Today's Hongguang Machinery Factory Headquarters, although it still has a scale of 8,000 people and a large factory area and equipment, is no longer as prosperous as it was back then.
Even the scale of more than 8,000 people is the result of Hongguang Machinery Factory saving one province after another.
Because Hongguang Machinery Factory is now a loss-making enterprise. For a loss-making enterprise like this, layoffs are the last word. If you can't recruit people, you won't hire them.
In short, since Hongguang Machinery Factory has its own printing equipment and workers, and Director Li has made it clear that he will give preferential prices, there is no reason for Cao Zhiqiang not to hand over the printing business to his own factory.
Since we still need the printing capabilities of our own factory, the office location cannot be too far away from the machinery factory.
So Cao Zhiqiang made many choices, and finally bought an office building in a glass factory next to Hongguang Machinery Factory.
As for that glass factory, due to problems such as backward technology and pollution, it has now been annexed by another glass factory, and a large number of people have gone to the new factory.
It turns out that the old factory buildings here are now basically used as warehouses.
As for the two-story office building of the glass factory, it is temporarily vacant.
The glass factory has been putting that office building out to bids, hoping to find someone to buy it.
However, this place is outside the North Second Ring Road and north of Jiuda Lake. It is already remote and inaccessible, and it is also an office space. Therefore, at this time, no one is interested in the office building here at all.
By the way, in the early 1980s, the suburbs outside the Second Ring Road in Peiping were equal to leaving the city.
Jiuda Lake was actually Liuyin Park later, but it was not called that at this time.
Although no one wanted that office building, Cao Zhiqiang thought it was good, so he talked with people again and again.
In the end, Cao Zhiqiang spent 90,000 yuan in his own name to acquire the two-story brick-concrete office building, plus a large area of factory land around the office building. The total area reached 2,300 yuan. One hundred and thirty-eight square meters!
This property is for rent, not for purchase, and the lease term is thirty years.
In other words, within thirty years, this building will be owned by Cao Zhiqiang personally.
After placing the order, Cao Zhiqiang decided to use this place as the office location of Hongguang Publishing House.
Although many people think that Cao Zhiqiang is too stupid, saying that he spent 90,000 yuan to buy a dilapidated building on industrial land, which is not cost-effective.
You know, although the place is large, with a total area of more than 2,300 square meters, it is too remote, and because of the industrial land, 60,000 yuan is not worth it.
However, Cao Zhiqiang knows how profitable this approach is.
Just kidding, where is this? It's near Liuyin Park within the Third Ring Road!
Further south here is the branch of Beijing Normal University, later known as Beijing Normal University!
Even though this place is very remote now and there are not many people there, once it enters the 1990s, it will enter a stage of major development.
By then, unless something unexpected happens, this factory area will be demolished and rebuilt.
Once the demolition and reconstruction begins, the office building that I have owned for thirty years will be worth a lot of money.
Of course, there is no need to tell others these things, just enjoy them yourself.
The office location has been allocated, and the next step is to recruit people.
In this regard, Yu Deli was very agile and quickly pulled the person over.
Yu Deli found six people this time, four of whom were under thirty years old, the other two were over thirty, and the oldest was only thirty-three.
It can be said that the people Yu Deli is looking for are all quite young.
However, it is understandable that now only young people have the urge and desire to change jobs.
If you are over forty, unless you have no other choice, you are generally not willing to give up your old job and work for a newly established publishing house where you don’t know what the future will hold.
Although Yu Deli was a little embarrassed, Cao Zhiqiang thought it was okay.
In other words, Cao Zhiqiang feels that personnel with this age composition are more in line with his requirements.
Only young people are adventurous and creative, and their thoughts will not be rigid. This will provide more support for what they want to do next.
On the contrary, if you find a bunch of old pedants, they will probably be hindered in everything you do.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang gave these people a lot of encouragement, and also gave them something more practical, which was to give them money.
Cao Zhiqiang said that as long as these six people agree to work here, the internship period will only be one month, and they will all become full-time employees after one month. Although the salary will vary slightly depending on the job position, it is guaranteed to be a minimum of fifty yuan per month. .
Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang also guaranteed that these people are entrepreneurial veterans.
As veterans, as long as their character is reliable and their work is fine, within that year, they are guaranteed to be promoted to leaders with a raise in salary.
This promise naturally made everyone very happy. After all, who among young people doesn't want to be promoted and raised as a leader?
However, some people also raised questions and asked whether they could be honored.
Of course Cao Zhiqiang repeatedly promised to have confidence in himself.
After all, they are a state-owned comprehensive publishing house. They can not only publish books, but also expand other businesses on their own.
For example, you can open your own subordinate magazine, start a subordinate audio-visual publishing house, or even open a bookstore. The business scope is wide.
Since the business scope is so wide and everyone is a pillar of talent, there is no reason why we can't make achievements within a year?
After saying this, everyone immediately felt relieved and full of more longing and expectations for the future.
Of course, as a publishing house affiliated with Hongguang Machinery Factory, its staff are not only these people, but also six old guys from the original Hongguang Machinery Factory.
However, those six old guys are actually just six idle people. As long as they are paid on time, they have no desire or interest to participate in the management of this publishing house for the time being.
The only difference is the nominal president Zhou Huaien.
After all, he is the president, and theoretically the top leader should still tell others about things like preparation and final review.
Although in fact, it is Cao Zhiqiang who really has the final say, it would be inappropriate if he really didn't care about Zhou Huai'en's opinion at all and really treated him as an idler.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang even built a president's office for Zhou Huaien, and gave him all the respect he deserved, including small money.
Because Cao Zhiqiang has enough money and is willing to spend money, as well as the strong support of Director Li and Secretary Dong, Hongguang Publishing House is still full of vitality even though it has not officially opened.
There was no need for Cao Zhiqiang to spend money to find someone to clean. Yu Deli and the six newcomers he brought started cleaning spontaneously.
There were also desks, chairs, benches, lights, phones and other office supplies. Cao Zhiqiang didn't have to worry about them. They bought them all themselves. Of course, Cao Zhiqiang had to pay for them.
In fact, they even renovated the toilets themselves.
They dig septic tanks, install flush toilets, and even lay tiles all by themselves.
Look at the way they roll up their sleeves and lay bricks and cement, that’s called professionalism!
This was an eye-opener for Cao Zhiqiang, and he praised the literary workers of this era. They are so versatile.
Who will tell me from now on that if the code writer can't pick up his shoulders or lift it with his hands, I will be in a hurry with him!
But it's understandable.
Young people like these would probably have to wait a long time to get ahead if they were in their old workplace.
But here, they have become veterans from the moment they arrived. Not to mention doubling their salary, they still have a promising future.
Furthermore, this will be their office space from now on. The better the environment here, the more comfortable they will live.
With all this going on, how dare they not do anything?
I have to say that people in the early 1980s were really simple.
If you arrive at the beginning of the 21st century, see if there are any new employees doing this.
Taking the community as their home, they really do it!
"General manager, what do you think of this place?" Yu Deli said with a smile on his face to Cao Zhiqiang who came to inspect, "Is it completely different from before?"
Cao Zhiqiang looked around, then nodded: "It's indeed different. It's completely new. It's awesome, awesome."
Then, Cao Zhiqiang sighed and said, "Lao Yu, you have worked really hard these past few days. You have been keeping an eye on me."
"It's not hard work." Yu Deli chuckled, "I'm just a supervisor. They are the ones who really do the work. I don't care about it."
When Yu Deli said this, several other young people immediately began to compliment Yu Deli, saying how editor Yu was very helpful and sharing the joys and sorrows.
Saying this made Cao Zhiqiang a little embarrassed.
Because while these people were renovating the office building in full swing, Cao Zhiqiang was kissing my sister.
Right to know, he had just gone to watch a movie with his god-sister Yu Yuanyuan who was off work today.
After watching the movie, he broke up with Yu Yuanyuan and went to have lunch with Jin Xiuying.
After lunch, Cao Zhiqiang took a nap at Jin Xiuying's place. After waking up, he came here to inspect.
So, he is really busy these days.
There are so many women to accompany and coax, isn’t it very busy?
Oops, I feel really ashamed when I think about it.
"I'm really ashamed." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, with a look of regret on his face, "You worked so hard, but I couldn't sweat with you. I, I feel ashamed."
"Wherever, whatever the general manager said."
The 33-year-old man with glasses named Sun Weihua, the oldest among the six newcomers, immediately smiled and said: "The general manager has a heavy responsibility, and if he can't come, he must have more important things to do.
Not to mention anything else, as far as I know, the publishing house is about to open its doors now, and it is not easy just to go to various yamen and deal with various leaders.
Therefore, when it comes to hard work, the general manager is the hardest. "
When Sun Weihua said this, the others immediately nodded in agreement.
Indeed, theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Sun Weihua said.
After all, if you want to open a publishing house, you do need to go to many yamen. At least the publishing bureau, the cultural bureau, the public security bureau, the fire bureau, the street office, etc., all have to run. Just go through the formalities.
Don't take it seriously. If you miss one of these yamen, they may cause trouble for you in the future.
However, those are ordinary people, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't have to be so troublesome.
His publishing house is a subordinate unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and it has the support of big leaders and first and second leaders behind it, which saves a lot of trouble.
As long as Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang... no, there is no need for these two uncles to come forward at all.
In fact, all it takes is Secretary Dong from Hongguang Machinery Factory to make a few calls to the leaders of relevant departments, and Cao Zhiqiang's matter will be given the green light without any obstacles.
After all, unit and unit energy are different.
It may be difficult for an ordinary small unit to get things done, but for a state-owned enterprise directly under the ministry and commission, setting up a subordinate unit is not a matter of just one or two phone calls.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work," Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"In this case, I will tell you some good news today."
"That's our publishing house. All the procedures have been completed, including the signboard."
"Originally I was worried that the office building was not ready."
“But now that the office building is available.”
"Then I announce that our Hongguang Publishing House will officially open at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow!"
"At that time, we will have a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, and we will also invite some leaders and guests to visit."
"By the way, there will be a buffet at noon the day after tomorrow. You can bring your family members over and enjoy the delicious food!"
"In a word!"
"You chose me and our Hongguang Publishing House. It must be the wisest decision in your life!"
