Accidentally Born in the ‘60s: 110. Interview
Yu Shoujing likes young people who are full of energy and energy. For this student who has won the first place in journalism at Imperial Capital University for four consecutive years, he wants to train her well, so he is willing to say a few words in advance to her: "This manuscript is not news. , so you don't have to rush to publish the manuscript, the most important thing is to do the interview work well, collect more materials and data, so that your manuscript will not be meaningless when you write it out." After looking at the calendar, Yu Shoujing said: "I gave you There are five state-owned enterprises and five private enterprises on the paper. They cover all aspects of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and they are all representative. In this way, I will give you a week. You can arrange the interview and writing time reasonably. Next Monday Show me the finished manuscript."
"Okay, editor-in-chief." Zhen Zhen responded quickly: "I see."
Yu Shoujing smiled and handed her a temporary job card: "Some of these factories are close and some are far away, you don't have to report every day, just go directly to your interview location, and if you encounter any problems, you can Don't worry about it alone, come to the unit to find me, I will help you find a way."
Zhen Zhen bowed gratefully: "Thank you, Chief Editor Yu."
Yu Shoujing smiled softly: "Okay, let's go to work quickly."
Zhen Zhen left Yu Shoujing's office briskly. When passing by the editorial hall, she saw Wei Yujin sitting at a desk reading documents. Zhen Zhen walked over quietly and said softly, "Sister Wei, I have an interview assignment today, so I don't think I will go back to the unit. You can go directly to Tengda Furniture Factory after get off work in the evening. I will wait for you there."
Because they were all classmates, Wei Yujin was inconvenient to talk too much, just nodded and instructed: "Be careful when riding a bicycle." Zhen Zhen responded and left the office quickly.
Come under the bicycle shed, Zhen Zhen took off her backpack and took out the piece of paper given by the editor-in-chief Yu. There were five state-owned enterprises and five private enterprises written on it, and Tengda Furniture Factory was ranked first.
Zhen Zhen looked at the name of the furniture factory under her own name with a black face, and decided to interview other companies first. After scanning the imperial capital with her consciousness, the locations of several companies had already appeared in her mind. Zhen Zhen decided to go to a clothing factory of a state-owned enterprise first, then a food factory, and finally drop by the way to Tengda Furniture Factory.
Putting the paper into the bag, Zhen Zhen used her consciousness to see that no one around was paying attention, she quickly took out a cool hat from the space and put it on her head. After pushing the bicycle out, Zhen Zhen stepped into the car with her long legs, and went straight to the old state-owned enterprise in the imperial capital, the People's Clothing Factory, with an excited look on her face.
The People's Clothing Factory is also an old state-owned enterprise. The sea soul shirts and green military uniforms worn by the people of the Imperial Capital were basically produced by this clothing factory. But since the reform and opening up, people's clothes have changed a lot. The original blue and gray clothes have no longer aroused people's desire to buy. Young people prefer clothes with brighter colors. With the same clothes as the heroine in the movie, going out can definitely become a beautiful landscape.
About 20 minutes later, Zhen Zhen came to the People's Clothing Factory. The janitor looked at her strange clothes and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing? Who are you looking for?" /
"Hello, uncle." Zhen Zhen took out her temporary work permit: "I'm a reporter from Huaguo Society. I want to interview our factory manager, is it convenient?"
The uncle who guarded the door didn't know that the factory manager was inconvenient, but he knew that the reporters of the Huaguo Society could not be neglected. This is the most important newspaper in Huaguo. He opened the door and let Zhen Zhen come in and tutted his tongue in praise: "It's amazing that a girl can be a reporter at a young age." Zhen Zhen smiled, thanked her, and went straight into the office building to find her. the factory manager's office.
Si Yaren, the director of the People's Garment Factory, is sitting at his desk and looking at the payroll with a frowning face. There is a backlog of tens of thousands of clothes that cannot be sold. If the inventory cannot be cleared, it means that the funds cannot be returned, and the factory cannot do anything about it. Normal operation, no money for new fabrics. Seeing the vicious circle that has formed, Si Yaren sighed with a sad face, does the factory have to be in his own hands?
"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door, Si Yaren buttoned the salary table on the pile of documents next to him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then shouted: "Please Enter."
Zhen Zhen pushed open the door of the office and asked with a smile: "Hello, is this the director of the department?"
Si Yaren saw a young, beautiful and fashionable woman looking for him, and immediately stood up with anticipation: "Hello, are you here to order?"
Zhen Zhen was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "I'm sorry, I'm Li Mingzhen, a reporter from Hua Guo News Agency, our agency recently wanted to make a newsletter, through research and analysis of the current situation of enterprises, to take a look at the rapid development of reform and opening up. What kind of enterprise can develop better under the situation.”
When he heard this proposition, Si Yaren suddenly had a bitter face: "Then our factory designation is a negative example, the kind that is on the verge of bankruptcy."
Zhen Zhen has already taken out a pen and paper: "What do you think is the difference between running a business now and before?"
Si Yaren scratched his head: "In the past, we produced green military uniforms, Lenin uniforms, etc. according to the instructions of the state. Anyway, these things are available all year round, and I don't worry about not being able to sell them. Now I don't know what to produce. , the backlog of clothing in our warehouse can't be sold, and even the supply and marketing cooperatives and stores that have been cooperating in the past are unwilling to buy our goods, saying that the color and style are as monotonous as the stone wall, I don't understand, I wore it in the past For so many years, everyone is proud to wear such clothes, why is it monotonous and unfashionable now?"
As soon as she heard it, Zhen Zhen understood that this person had the same brain circuit as the original manager of a furniture factory that she had accepted before.
The long-suppressed thoughts were finally expressed to someone. The director of the factory opened the chat box. He chatted for three hours, from the glory of the past to the downfall of today, and filled five glasses of water. He finally closed his mouth. Zhen Zhen has already memorized ten pages of paper at this time, she basically understands what she wants to know and what she doesn't want to know, she closed the book and asked with a smile, "I don't know, it's inconvenient to look at your overstocked clothes. ?"
"Okay, there's nothing you can't watch." Si Yaren stood up cheerfully: "You reporters have many contacts, so maybe you can help me sell it."
Si Yaren brought Zhen Zhen to the warehouse, where there were piles of clothes, Si Yaren casually opened a bag and took out one: "Look at the quality of our white shirts, before this The big girl and the little daughter-in-law don’t all like to buy a pair of military trousers to wear, how stylish.”
Zhen Zhen looked at the fat and shapeless shirt, and glanced at him helplessly: "It's not fashionable to wear military pants anymore, even girls in shirts don't like this style." Si Yaren again He scratched his head, obviously not knowing what to do.
Zhen Zhen remembered the Japanese TV series "Blood Suspect" that was about to be released in China. Back then, the TV series became popular and the Sachiko shirt was hot. Basically, young girls had one piece, and they had to lose their long hair and comb a Sachiko's head. I'm just embarrassed to say I'm fashionable.
Zhen Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly and asked nonchalantly, "Director, how much do you guys sell for a batch of shirts?"
Si Yaren sighed: "One dollar a piece, in fact, the price is not too expensive. Look at the quality of our shirts. Look at the quality of this fabric, it hasn't worn out for many years."
Zhen Zhen nodded, this price is really not expensive, the shirts sold outside are just a little more decent, they all have to sell for three yuan. Picking up a shirt, Zhen Zhen made her own calculations: "Director, if someone wants these stocks, but they need to change some styles, how much will they cost?"
Si Yaren looked at Zhen Zhen in surprise: "Do you know that someone is willing to buy our clothes? What kind of things need to be added, and how big is the change?"
Zhen Zhen picked up the pen and quickly drew a short-sleeved "Sachizi shirt" on the notebook, and showed it to Si Yaren: "The lapel needs to be changed to a vertical collar, there are streamers on it that need to be tied with flowers, and there are a pair on the chest. Embroidery, some pleats on the shoulders."
Si Yaren frowned slightly: "It means that we have to renovate and redo it, but we are not alive now, and the funds are not working. If we can sign the contract immediately and pay half the deposit in advance, I will only add one item. Thirty cents will do." Fearing that the business would fail, Si Yaren quickly explained: "The three cents are entirely due to embroidery, and artificial water and electricity are not included. As long as the factory's situation is better, I can't do it. Such a low price."
Zhen Zhen smiled and took back the book: "I know what the director of the factory means, but I also heard a relative mention it occasionally. I go home and tell him, I'm not sure if it's successful or not, I have to let him come. Talk to you in detail."
"Oh, thank you very much, Comrade Xiao Li." Si Yaren held Zhen Zhen's hand excitedly: "The life and death of our factory is up to you, please be careful."
Zhen Zhen smiled: "As long as the quality can be guaranteed, there will be more and more such win-win business in the future." Looking at the watch on her wrist, Zhen Zhen smiled politely: "It's getting late , it's time for me to say goodbye too, thank you for accepting my interview."
"Don't go, it's just time for dinner, let's eat in our cafeteria." Si Yaren had a particularly good impression of this little reporter from the Huaguo Society, and he kept inviting her to taste the dishes in the cafeteria in the factory. : "There should be meat dishes in our cafeteria at noon today. I will ask the chef to make you a chicken leg."
"No need." Zhen Zhen quickly refused: "We also have regulations when we come out for interviews, we really can't eat here."
As soon as I heard that there were regulations, Si Yaren didn't dare to persuade him any more, but he couldn't because his meal was affecting the future of the little girl, seeing that Zhen Zhen was about to leave, Si Yaren was going all the way. After sending it to the door, he asked eagerly: "Well, when did the person who said he wanted clothes come to the factory to order?"
Zhen Zhen thought about it for a while and said, "I will tell him to bring money with me at the earliest this afternoon, and at the latest during the day tomorrow."
Hearing this, Si Yaren breathed a sigh of relief as if he had taken a reassurance, and waved vigorously at Zhen Zhen: "Reporter Li took the time to come to the factory to play."
"Okay." Zhen Zhen also waved her hand and rode away on her bicycle.
The old man who was the gatekeeper stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time. Seeing that the factory manager had left, he was still standing like a fool. He couldn't help but stand behind Si Yaren and stepped on his feet to look at Zhen Zhen's figure. Si Yaren didn't turn around until Zhen Zhen rode the car around the corner and couldn't see her figure, then turned around happily, but when he turned around, he was startled by the old king standing behind him.
"Oh, I said Old Wang, you stood behind me and didn't make a sound, but you surprised me." Si Yaren took a few steps back before he came back to his senses: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at that beautiful comrade reporter." Old Wang winked at Si Yaren with a gossip face: "I said, factory manager, why are you smiling so happily, are you planning to take this comrade reporter? Introduce your son as a partner?"
"What's the target? Can the reporters from the Huaguo Society like my son?" Si Yaren gave him a sullen look, looked at Lao Wang's confused appearance, and kindly explained one more sentence: " This reporter is a good person, I heard that our factory has a backlog of inventory and can't pay wages, so I'm going to introduce a relative of her to our factory to order clothes."
"It's a good thing." Old Wang's head just laughed halfway before his face collapsed: "You can pull it down, how can we have money to buy cloth?"
"You know quite a lot." Si Yaren couldn't help laughing: "I told you, people said that we can change the style of our inventory. What, reporter Li said, maybe this afternoon or Come over tomorrow to sign the contract, if someone comes, you have to be more enthusiastic and send them directly to my office."
"That's necessary." Lao Wangtou said, "I haven't been paid for two months, so I can't be active."
Watching the factory manager leave with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune, Lao Wangtou returned to the gate and said, "When the salary is paid, I will cut half a catty of pork head meat and mix it with cucumbers to eat. I haven't tasted meat for three months. I'm so thirsty."
Zhen Zhen rode her bicycle and turned into a remote alley. With her consciousness, she saw that there was no one nearby, so she even took the car and led the person directly into the space. Putting the car aside, Zhen Zhen went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, then brought out a bowl of fried noodles from the kitchen, and took another bowl of mung bean soup and took a sip.
Because of the fact that the food in the space will not spoil, Zhen Zhen usually stuffs it into the space to eat when she is free. Sometimes when you are hungry at night or it is inconvenient to cook, the food prepared in the space can be used in an emergency. After the meal, Zhen Zhen set the alarm clock at 1:30, lay down on the bed and slept again, until the alarm clock rang, then she went straight to the food factory full of energy.
Compared with the People's Clothing Factory, this Imperial Food Factory is very advanced with the times. It not only produces many traditional desserts that are loved by the elderly, but also produces many Western-style pastries that young people like today, such as Cream cake, coconut filling, cocoa and peanut crispy, chocolate nutcracker, chocolate pineapple filling are all popular.
In the interview, Zhang Runxiang, the person in charge of the food factory, put some snacks for Zhen Zhen to taste, and introduced that they were brought by professional chefs to all parts of the country, and even to Hong Kong Island to learn: The factory can’t just rely on the old one, and on the basis of adhering to the traditional taste and traditional craftsmanship, it must also increase the new things that the people like, so that it will not be eliminated.”
Zhen Zhen nodded and wrote down this sentence, stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you, Director Zhang, your ideas are very inspiring and helpful to me. I must write this sentence in the report."
From the food factory, Zhen Zhen went to the store outside the food factory, bought a pound of the delicious snacks she had just tasted, and put it directly into the space when she rode to a place where no one was around.
Looking at the watch, it wasn't even four o'clock, Zhen Zhen went directly to the Tengda Furniture Factory. Since the furniture factory opened up the market, Zhen Zhen has retreated behind the scenes and rarely came to the furniture factory. This is to express her love for Sun Rende Trust, if I come here often, Sun Rende will inevitably ask for instructions and report on everything, and he will be at a loss when managing the factory.
The furniture factory is now more than ten times larger than when I first took over, and the number of people in a workshop is more than that of a factory in the past. In this way, the workers are still busy every day like a draught All kinds of furniture are made to order. Tengda Furniture Factory is already a well-known brand of furniture in China. The young couple got married and bought a set of Tengda furniture and a Tengda brand mattress. At first glance, others knew that the family lived a good life and lived a prosperous life.
The janitor of the furniture factory has been replaced by a young and strong guy. Like many workers who came later, they didn't know Zhen Zhen.
A young man saw Zhen Zhen standing at the door and ringing the doorbell, so he went out and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Zhen Zhen smiled and handed over her work card: "I'm a reporter from the Huaguo Society, and I want to interview Director Sun."
"Okay, wait a moment." The young man returned to the reception room, made an internal call, and came out after a while to open the door of the factory: "Our factory director Sun invites you in, and you go to the first floor of the office building. You can find him in the factory director's office."
Seeing that the young man is very polite from beginning to end, Zhen Zhen can see the whole thing from a glimpse. From the quality of the guard, it can be seen that the management of the factory is very strict.
Arriving at the door of Sun Rende's office, Zhen Zhen knocked on the door, Sun Rende knew that a reporter from the Huaguo Society was coming to interview, so he quickly stood up and opened the office door. Seeing Zhen Zhen standing outside, Sun Rende suddenly smiled: "How come you are free, factory director? Come in, there will be a reporter from the Huaguo Society who will come to interview later. It's just that you have a good chat with the reporter comrade."
Zhen Zhen smiled and slapped her work permit on the table: "Don't wait, I'm a reporter from the Huaguo News Agency, and I'm here to interview you today."
"Don't tease you." Sun Rende made a cup of tea and put it in front of Zhen Zhen: "You can just interview yourself."
Zhen Zhen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You are the manager of the factory, I don't interview anyone, you have to cooperate with me."
Sun Rende looked at Zhen Zhen dumbfoundedly: "I don't have you to control the overall situation. Otherwise, there are so many furniture factories in the country, how can we stand out in such a short period of time and become the leader in the national furniture industry."
"Of course it's because you did a good job." Zhen Zhen smiled: "Okay, let's talk about the interview later. You asked Xiao Wang to come over, I have a personal matter and I want to ask him for a favor. "
Xiao Wang's name is Wang Xinzhi. Regardless of his age, he is a serious student of business management at the Wharton School of Business. After graduating from college, he returned to the imperial capital after his father recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestry. Xi Junjie heard his father say this One person immediately recommended it to Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen has a shortage of such management talents. She invited Wang Xinzhi to be Sun Rende's deputy with a high salary. After a year of running-in, Sun Rende, in addition to controlling the overall situation, focused more on technical control, external negotiation and negotiation. Wang Xinzhi is basically responsible for internal management.
Wang Xinzhi's office is next door, Sun Rende called him on the inside line, Zhen Zhen said straight to the point: "I went to the People's Clothing Factory to interview this morning and found that their enterprise's inventory backlog is very serious and has affected Now that the factory is running normally, I plan to ask them to change the shirts in stock to new styles, you can help me negotiate the contract and pay the deposit directly.”
Although Zhen Zhen said it was his own personal affair, Wang Xinzhi's occupational disease did not allow him to sign the contract in a daze, he sat down, took out his notebook and asked, "What does the chairman want to change the clothes in stock into? Can you ensure market sales? How long will it take to deliver? What price are you talking about?"
Zhen Zhen liked this young man's professionalism, she explained: "I watched the Japanese drama "Blood Suspect" in the school's screening room before. It's broadcast. According to people imitating the costumes of the protagonists of various movies and TV series in recent years, I think the heroine's clothes will be sought after by the people, so I plan to make a batch of clothes of the same style first, and wait for the TV series to become popular. If you take the lead first, you will definitely make a lot of money.”
Wang Xinzhi asked: "Are you going to discuss cooperation with various stores after the TV series is released?"
"Don't be so troublesome." Zhen Zhen replied: "I have several clothing stores myself, I estimate that 10,000 pieces may not be enough for me to sell, this batch of clothes can also drive the sales boom of other clothes. ."
Although Wang Xinzhi doesn't know much about the domestic clothing industry, he is quite able to draw inferences from one case to another: "If the people in China like to pursue celebrity effects, then we simply buy that factory, and in the future, as long as we grasp the trend, we will be able to make a steady profit. Why give them a piece of the pie.”
Zhen Zhen smiled and rolled her eyes: "You have the potential to be a domineering CEO, and you would buy it from a factory." Seeing Wang Xinzhi's dazed expression, Zhen Zhen said quickly, "I'm joking, mainly That factory is a state-owned enterprise. After going through the process of negotiating and purchasing with the government, others will have the first chance. This time, we will sign a contract to let them supply the goods. You can help me keep an eye on it in the future. If there is a suitable factory We could consider an acquisition."
Wang Xinzhi stood up immediately: "Don't worry, Chairman, I promise to complete the task."
Zhen Zhen smiled, and drew a design drawing of the clothes on the paper, and marked the details: "When you go to sign the contract, you must emphasize the details and quality of the clothes, it is better to let them make a sample first. , I brought it over two days later. I saw that it was no problem and then mass-produced. Remember that the production cycle must be shortened, but don't produce it. The summer has passed, and then we will be pressing the inventory." Zhen Zhen finished speaking He took out the 13,000 yuan that had already been prepared from the bag: "This is the full amount of the order, I will entrust this matter to you, and I will give you a big red envelope after it is completed."
"You can rest assured Chairman, I promise to complete the task." Wang Xinzhi took the money and design drawings, went back to the office, took the bag and left.
Zhen Zhen thought of Wei Yujin and hurriedly explained to Sun Rende: "I have a classmate named Wei Yujin, we have been living in a dormitory for four years in college, and now she is also working in Huaguo Society. She was an educated youth in the northwest. I left there after I was admitted to university, but the man and the child have been living in the countryside in the northwest for so many years, and they have been living apart. I heard Mrs. Wei say that his men can also do carpentry work, so I asked him to come to work in the factory. I let him into the factory, but it doesn't mean I want to give him something special. When he comes, you can take a good look at his craftsmanship. If he can't work, let him work as a small worker first, but it can't be because he broke our products. quality.”
"Don't worry, the factory manager, I understand what you mean." Sun Rende immediately agreed.
Zhen Zhen paused and said: "There is one more thing you can help me with the staff, Sister Wei can't apply for a single dormitory in the unit, the accommodation problem for this family of three still needs to be solved by our factory, do you think? Give them a set of dormitories, otherwise she wouldn't dare to let her man come over easily."
Sun Rende hesitated after hearing the words: "Since the factory director doesn't want to make him special, I suggest not assigning him to the dormitory built by our unit, otherwise he can be assigned as a new employee. The house will definitely be discussed in private by other employees.”
"Is there any other place to arrange it?" Zhen Zhen asked.
Sun Rende said immediately: "We also bought some houses as investment in accordance with your request last year. There is a small courtyard with two houses closest to the factory. Wang Xinzhi lived there when he first came, waiting for him. Even if he moved the things there, he didn't move, and if he couldn't, he was arranged to live there."
Zhen Zhen nodded: "Okay, just follow the same practice as other employees, first sign a three-year dormitory use agreement, and if they can't afford to buy a house after three years, give her another three-year extension."
As soon as the voice fell, the phone in Sun Rende's office rang, and the doorman's voice came from the microphone: "Director, a comrade named Wei Yujin is looking for you."
