Let’s not talk about how Cao Jiajia educates her children. Let’s talk about Cao Zhiqiang. After leading people away with a lot of cheers, he went straight back to the publishing house.
As soon as I entered the publishing house, there were shouts from a room next to me, and a faint smell of smoke wafted out.
After frowning, Cao Zhiqiang did not go upstairs directly along the stairs in the middle, but walked to the side of the first floor and came to the door of a room.
After hearing that the sound came from this door, Cao Zhiqiang was not polite and gently opened the door.
After entering, I found that it was smoky inside. Many people gathered around chatting and playing poker. It seemed that six people were enough to play poker.
The six people were so engrossed that when Cao Zhiqiang came in, no one noticed for a while.
Zhang Qianjin, who was still a bitch, couldn't help but cough, and then he alerted someone.
When he turned around and found Cao Zhiqiang, the man immediately trembled with fright, quickly took off the Xiangyan in his mouth, threw it to the ground and stamped it out with his feet, and then said loudly: "Team leader, no, hello, general manager!"
With this voice, everyone came back to their senses and discovered the existence of Cao Zhiqiang.
As a result, people were smoking cigarettes, people were throwing poker cards, and the scene was chaotic.
Cao Zhiqiang squinted his eyes and found that he didn't recognize most of the people here, or was unfamiliar with them.
Then I remembered that these people were transferred from the Security Department to help.
Although Cao Zhiqiang said that he does not need anyone to protect him.
However, with Li Youfu's great success in Tianjin, the news inevitably spread back to the machinery factory.
There was no other way. Li Youfu didn't go there by himself this time. He went there with heavily armed members of the Machinery Factory Security Section in a large truck from the Transportation Section.
After the team arrived at the local area, they went directly to a machinery factory in Tianjin to settle down, and used the internal guest house of that machinery factory as their base camp.
Once this battle breaks out, it will be difficult for this team and that group to work.
The so-called strong dragon does not defeat the local snake, it is just because that dragon is not strong enough.
Now Li Youfu, with his heavily armed security personnel, has come to the Jinmen area relying on the momentum of the Hongguang Machinery Factory, and has also received comprehensive contacts from the local machinery factory. Can it be the same as ordinary individual traders?
Therefore, on the night when Li Youfu arrived in Tianjin, he hosted a banquet at a local state-owned guest house for some local wholesale dealers similar to his in the past, and then talked about the situation of selling books.
There are also many schools in Jinmen, such as Nankai University.
There are countless other middle schools and so on.
Moreover, because Jinmen is a coastal port, it often receives a large amount of overseas goods, so the pursuit of martial arts is actually more prosperous than in the capital.
When I heard about Li Youfu's purpose, especially when I heard that the book Li Youfu asked everyone to sell was a martial arts book with the title of poetry collection, and it was selling like crazy in the capital, I was already a little interested.
You know, the capital is very close to Jinmen. If there is any trouble in the capital, Jinmen will know it immediately.
Therefore, although "Journey to the Rivers and Lakes" came out not long ago, people in Jinmen have heard about it.
Just because of well-known reasons, Xinhua Bookstore in Jinmen has not officially put this set of books on sale.
As a result, Xinhua Bookstore has not yet been listed on the market, and private channels have come first. The time difference here is all profit.
Moreover, this time Li Youfu also said that if you buy from him, you will not only get genuine products, but you will also get a 20% discount.
In other words, they can buy books for ten yuan for eight yuan.
This is very attractive.
After all, in the past, it was impossible for their individual book sellers to purchase newly released books like this at a discount like Xinhua Bookstore did.
Now that they have this advantage, even if they sell it at the original price, they can still make two yuan from a set of books every time, which is great.
You know, these book dealers are different from Xinhua Bookstore.
Although Xinhua Bookstore can get very high discounts, they have a big business and high consumption.
But these book sellers are different. They are just their own group. They don't have any employees to support. They just eat as much as they earn, so the cost is much lower.
Therefore, the profit of two yuan for a set of books was already considerable for private book sellers in this period.
Not to mention, they may not sell according to the list price, they can definitely sell it higher than the list price.
In this way, in just one night, Li Youfu sold 500,000 units.
This is just a test of the water. If the test is successful, it proves that this set of books is indeed a best-seller, and it will only become more powerful in the future.
However, half a million units is already quite good and a solid start.
You know, during this period, when selling books to private dealers, you paid and delivered the goods.
So five hundred thousand sets, calculated at eight yuan a piece, is four million RMB!
As soon as this number came out, the group of accompanying security personnel was immediately frightened.
You know, it is not certain whether the entire Hongguang Machinery Factory can create benefits of four million yuan in one year.
But here, in just one night's work, I got four million in small money!
This is cash, real cash!
Sack after sack of cash!
It can be said that those young security officers have never seen so much money in their lives!
After being frightened, the security guards immediately called Chief Zeng to notify him.
Section Chief Zeng was also frightened and quickly called Director Li to notify him.
Director Li woke up with a fright and called Secretary Dong overnight.
In the end, it was Secretary Dong who had a big heart and a fat body. He immediately made the decision and asked the factory to fully support Cao Zhiqiang’s great cause!
Then, early the next morning, the printing office of the machinery factory began to implement the long-lost three-shift policy and began to go all out to print the "Journey to Jianghu" set.
The reason is very simple. Before, only one million sets were printed, but later 380,000 sets were sold in the capital. Li Youfu just sold 500,000 sets in the Tianjin area in just one day.
The inventory is already running low now. If we don't print more, it will be too late if demand breaks out again in the future.
At the same time, the security section of Hongguang Machinery Factory also sent many security section personnel to the printing office.
They also specially sent six elite soldiers from the security department to protect Cao Zhiqiang.
Unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang didn't like these people following him, so he asked Sister Niu to oversee the arrangements.
When Cao Zhiqiang thought about it, no matter if these people came, they would do everything from serving tea and water to cleaning.
In this way, other manpower can be freed up.
It's a pity that because Hongguang Publishing House was founded not long ago, all the rules and regulations are not perfect, which is the so-called "flat management".
This kind of unit itself is very loose, and the responsibilities and powers are not clear enough.
In this case, six security personnel were suddenly sent from above, and it was unclear who was in charge of whom.
After all, strictly speaking, these people in the security department are not employees of the publishing house.
It is said that in such a large Hongguang Publishing House, only Cao Zhiqiang, who is also the "leader of the comprehensive business group of the factory office of Hongguang Machinery Factory", can manage them in name and in practice.
But Cao Zhiqiang likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, letting Sister Niu take care of things, and then run away.
So after these people arrived, Sister Niu had to arrange a large room first, and temporarily put up a sign for the duty room, so that these people could watch the door for a while.
But just because no one cared about them, this group of people started to gather in the room to play cards, smoke, chat and drink tea. They were just lazing around in boredom, just like they usually did.
Yes, the Security Department is actually a relatively leisurely department. As long as they have nothing to do, they are basically in this state, that is, they get together to play cards, chat, smoke and drink tea.
You definitely don’t dare to drink, at least not during work. That is a violation of factory rules and regulations, and if you violate factory rules and regulations seriously, you will be fired.
It was discovered that Cao Zhiqiang had been sullen and silent, and the six sent security personnel did not dare to speak.
The reason is very simple. When they came, Section Chief Zeng had specially told them that Cao Zhiqiang was a person of great concern to the superiors and would be everyone's future bread and butter.
From now on, everyone's wages and bonuses will be taken care of by the "Factory Office Comprehensive Business Group" led by Cao Zhiqiang.
Therefore, when these people come to the publishing house, they must listen to Cao Zhiqiang, otherwise, even if Cao Zhiqiang spares them, Section Chief Zeng will not be able to spare them.
In serious cases, expulsion is possible.
Now that we have said this, can we all be careful?
This silence lasted for a full minute before Cao Zhiqiang spoke first: "I know that you are sent by the factory to protect the publishing house. In this case, is this the only way to protect the publishing house? You hide in the office and play poker all day long? You haven't fought enough. class?"
After the six people looked at each other in disbelief, a middle-aged man who was the eldest in the group finally said:
"General Manager, it's like this. When we came, the superiors told you that we were only here to protect you personally, but you didn't let us follow you and told us to stay here. We, we had to wait here."
Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes: "Is that still my fault?"
"How can that be possible?" The stocky middle-aged man chuckled.
"That's right, General Manager Cao, since we are sent here to protect you from above, if you are not willing to let us protect you, you can also give us some work to do.
As long as you ask, we promise to obey your orders without any ambiguity.
However, you have never given the order, so we can only play cards to relieve our boredom. "
Cao Zhiqiang said: "Didn't I ask Sister Niu to arrange work for you?"
"Yes, yes." The stout man nodded quickly, "Sister Niu arranged for us to be here.
Sister Niu asked us to stay here and not to break in, so we just stayed here! "
"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, knowing that he might have blamed them wrongly.
There is a high probability that I didn't explain it clearly, Sister Niu didn't arrange it, and then this group of people were stupid again, and that's what happened in the end.
Therefore, I don’t blame these people for taking advantage of the situation, but I blame myself as the leader for not arranging correct tasks for them.
But Cao Zhiqiang didn't know what they could do for a while.
After thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang said directly: "You can wait here, you can play cards, drink tea and read newspapers, but don't smoke.
If you really want to smoke, go out and smoke, don’t smoke in the office, you hear me? "
"Yes, yes!" The sturdy man in the lead nodded quickly, and the others also nodded.
Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Okay, you guys go ahead. I'll go up and have a meeting with you. I'll also arrange your official work after that, so you don't have to waste time here every day."
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang left the office with a group of people nodding and bowing.
As soon as Cao Zhiqiang left, a group of people breathed a sigh of relief.
Then a thin man said to the stout man in the lead: "Boss, I was scared to death just now. I thought Team Leader Cao was going to blame us and drive us away."
"What do you call a team leader?" The stout man glared. "This is a publishing house. I want to call him the general manager. I don't think the general manager likes to be called the general manager. Don't you like to be called the team leader?"
"Yes, yes." A young man wearing a hat smiled and nodded next to him, "The general manager sounds very impressive, much better than the team leader."
"Stop talking." The sturdy man in the lead sighed, "Everyone put away their cigarette butts and open the windows to get some air. This general manager doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so hurry up!"
Only then did everyone start to clean up in a hurry.
And just when the security guards started to clean up the duty room, Cao Zhiqiang had already gone upstairs to his editorial office.
The editorial department is currently the largest office of Hongguang Publishing House. Basically, most of the employees work here.
To the east of the editorial department is the president's office, and to the west of the editorial department is the general manager's office.
Because the current model is that the general manager's family dominates, so people in the editorial department generally call the general manager's office the West Wing and the president's office the East Wing in private.
Obviously, this is influenced by some spy movies.
All I can say is that as long as there are people and there are hierarchies, then office culture is really something that no one can learn without a teacher, and it is impossible to guard against it.
After Cao Zhiqiang entered the editorial office, he found that there were many people here, and they all gathered together to chat, but there was no smoking.
It's not that no one here smokes, but Cao Zhiqiang has stipulated from the beginning that smoking is not allowed in the office and must be smoked outside.
These people strictly abide by this rule, including President Zhou.
Even though Zhou Huaien is the president, if he wants to smoke, he has to smoke in the corridor and cannot smoke in his office.
Euphemistically called this, it’s called taking care of lesbians and preventing second-hand smoke. In fact, everyone knows that it’s because Cao Zhiqiang himself doesn’t like it.
"Hey, everyone is here." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"General Manager!" Yu Deli was the first to come over and say hello, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you have something to do at home today and won't be back?"
Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "After I've taken care of my family affairs, I'll come back to see you and discuss some things with everyone."
Well, now due to the popularity of "Jianghu Xing" and the establishment of the sales department, there is no need to let people like Yu Deli who are not proficient in sales go to Xinhua Bookstore for promotions.
Because the current problem is not a problem of promotion at all, but a problem of insufficient production capacity and supply exceeding demand.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing trouble, Cao Zhiqiang withdrew people like Yu Deli.
But when this group of people came back, they found that they had nothing to do for a while, so they had nothing to do but chat.
In the final analysis, this is still a problem for Cao Zhiqiang, the person at the helm.
One thing to say, Cao Zhiqiang does have a lot of ideas, very strong cheats, and very good courage and decisiveness.
But when it comes to leading a team as a leader, Cao Zhiqiang is indeed not qualified, at least not yet.
Cao Zhiqiang didn't think this was a thing before.
After all, the publishing house has only been established for a short time and has very few manpower, so it can carry out so-called "flat management."
As the publishing house slowly grows and its manpower increases, it will naturally change.
But now it seems that with the sales of the product "Jianghu Xing", the attention of superior leaders, and the rapid increase in the number of people under his command, the development speed of the publishing house is beyond everyone's imagination.
Nowadays, the publishing house is not growing slowly at all, but blowing up into a fat man like a balloon.
At this moment, Cao Zhiqiang was a little overwhelmed.
You know, Cao Zhiqiang now has to record, manage the company, do sales, take care of housework, prepare for the next singing and recording, and even has a hotel that is about to open waiting for him.
It can be said that Cao Zhiqiang's current stall is too big, and he needs to invest a lot of energy in any one project, let alone all projects together.
Human energy is limited, and you cannot want and want more at the same time.
We must learn to concentrate on the main things and separate out the secondary things.
You want everything, you grab everything, and in the end you can't do anything well.
In short, it’s time to make a change!
If we don’t quickly change the organizational structure from top to bottom while the problem is not big now, carry out more detailed decentralization, and strictly implement the reform of a modern management system with clear responsibilities and powers, the problem will be big in the future!
Apart from anything else, at least in terms of the organizational structure of publishing houses, the extensive “flat management” of the past can no longer be carried out.
To sum it up in one sentence.
He needs a real manager!
