Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 261 Establishing a sales company, a new chapter in life

Next to him, Xu Jichang was sleeping soundly with Chen Xiaoen in his arms, and was not affected at all by her soft scream just now.

As long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed!
After Chen Xiaoen experienced the initial panic, his face was as red as a ripe persimmon.

Could he be pretending to be asleep to take advantage of himself?
An idea came to Chen Xiaoen's mind.

"Continuing, continuing."

Chen Xiaoen gently called Xu Jichang twice in his ear, hoping to wake him up.

As a result, Xu Jichang remained motionless and slept as peacefully as a baby.

This time Chen Xiaoen was completely confused...

Fortunately, after a while, Xu Jichang released Chen Xiaoen when he was about to wake up, avoiding the eye-to-eye situation she was most afraid of.

"What's going on? Were you hot last night?"

Xu Jichang got up and leaned on the bedside, rubbing his sleepy eyes and asked Chen Xiaoen.

"No, I didn't...I'm fine."

Chen Xiaoen stammered and waved his hands, quickly got out of bed, picked up his clothes and left, leaving Xu Jichang with a hurried back.

Looking at Chen Xiaoen's back, Xu Jichang spread his hands in his heart.

Yes, he was just pretending to sleep.

I didn’t expect that this girl Chen Xiaoen would be so embarrassed that her face would turn red like this if she hugged her...

……

After breakfast at Chen Xiaoen's house, Xu Jichang went to the post office.

Shunzi wrote to him yesterday, saying that he had sold a lot of mountain goods in recent months, and Xu Jichang should have received more than 2 yuan in proportion. He had already remitted it to him through postal services.

In the 70s, there were no wire transfers in China because banks did not have computers themselves and had to go through the post office.

Shunzi deposited a sum of money at the county post office and sent a telegram. The post office in the capital would give the money to Xu Jichang according to the number on the telegram.

When Xu Jichang arrived at the post office door, the door was not open yet.

He found a breakfast restaurant outside and ordered a cup of soy milk. He looked at his watch and drank slowly while waiting.

Finally, about half an hour later, the post office door opened. Xu Jichang got up and walked to the post office door and went in to check the telegram.

After checking, there was indeed a telegram belonging to him, with the amount of the remittance clearly recorded on it.

A total of more than 7000 yuan was collected. Xu Jichang took out the money and carried it out of the post office under the incredulous eyes of the postal staff.

It's naturally not safe to walk down the street with so much money.

Not long after Xu Jichang walked out, he turned into an alley, stored all the money on the space shelf, and then strode to work.

The post office is not far from the unit, and Xu Jichang walked there in a short time.

At present, the operation of Dongfang Fertilizer Plant is on track. Walking into the unit gate early in the morning, you can see many cadres and workers walking in a hurry, including some unfamiliar faces.

Most of these new faces are educated youths who have returned to the city to recruit workers, because the superiors have assigned tasks to various units to help digest the employment of educated youths who have returned to the city.

Enterprises that really couldn't provide jobs even built collective factories specifically for the purpose of housing educated youths.

The same is true in every street. You can see newly built factories everywhere, but their scale is far smaller than that of state-owned enterprises.

As far as Xu Jichang knows, Dongfang Fertilizer Factory has not been able to complete its task of resettling educated youths and is considering setting up an affiliated factory to solve the employment problem of educated youths who have returned to the city.

However, there is no decision yet on this matter.After all, setting up a factory costs 10,000+, which is not a small number. The factory must make careful decisions.

"Jichang, what are you busy with?"

Xu Jichang had just sat in the office for a while when Director Zhang of the factory's organization department came to look for him.

"I'm reading the latest instructions from the factory and studying the spirit of the documents."

Xu Jichang put down a few pieces of paper in his hand and stood up with a smile.

"It's good. The air in the morning is fresh and clear, so it's suitable for studying."

Minister Zhang walked up to him and stood still and said, "But your study has to be interrupted for a while. There is an important meeting going to be held in the factory. Come with me quickly."

"Good leadership."

Xu Jichang picked up a pen and paper and followed Minister Zhang out, went upstairs and went straight to the large conference room of the unit.

Behind him, Chen Xiaoen looked at him in ecstasy for a while, feeling nothing but admiration in his heart.

Minister Zhang came directly to call Xu Jichang just now, and did not notify Tong Guoliang after leaving.

This means that Xu Jichang has actually become the number one person in the factory's distribution office, with a higher status than the nominal director Tong Guoliang.

It is really a great thing to have such a status in the company at such a young age.

Even though Chen Xiaoen had seen a lot of things in the world because of his family, he still admired Xu Jichang in his heart.

At this time, Xu Jichang, led by Minister Zhang, entered the large conference room on the fifth floor of the new office building of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory.

I saw that both sides of the conference table were full of people, all leaders of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory. The lineup was exactly the same as in the county seat, except that Qian Jinsong was missing.

Seeing Xu Jichang entering the conference room, Director Gao nodded slightly and immediately announced the start of the meeting.

Xu Jichang sat down at the end of the conference table, put down his pen and paper and listened carefully.

"Comrades, we have been called here today to study the establishment of collective enterprises and the placement of educated youth who have returned to the city to find employment."

Factory Director Gao was full of confidence and said very seriously, "The state attaches great importance to the employment issue of educated youth who have returned to the city, and the superiors have repeatedly issued orders asking our factory to advance this matter as a key task."

“In the past, our factory actively responded to the spirit of its superiors and absorbed as many educated youths who had returned to the city as possible during the recruitment and employment process.”

"However, as you all know about the situation of our factory, the production units have remained in the Northeast, and only the government agencies have moved to the capital. The digestion and absorption capacity is bound to be limited, and it is already stretched thin."

Director Gao frowned when he said this: "And according to my judgment, the subsequent employment placement tasks will only become more and more difficult."

"If we don't come up with a solution today, the pressure on this issue will increase in the future."

"Today I want to ask you if you have any good solutions to this problem."

As soon as Director Gao's question came out, the conference room immediately fell into deathly silence.

The educated youth returned to the cities to find jobs, and there were more monks and less food.What they want to study today is how to cook as much porridge as possible to ensure that everyone can eat.

Speaking of which, this is also a very difficult question, otherwise Director Gao would not have to convene so many people for a meeting.

It’s difficult, it’s really difficult.

The factory leaders present all had troubled expressions on their faces, among which Minister Zhang had the most troubled expression.

As the head of the factory's organizational personnel, no one knows the current dilemma of employment recruitment better than him.

After the Oriental Fertilizer Factory moved to the capital, the factory's scheduled headcount was 2155, and initially there was still room for 150 people.

In just six months, in order to respond to the request of superiors and solve the employment problem of the educated youth returning to the city, the factory not only used up 150 vacant positions, but even overstaffed it by more than 100 people.

If this continues, the factory organization will inevitably become bloated, which will not only greatly increase operating expenses, but will also lead to overstaffing and reduce work efficiency.

Including Minister Zhang, everyone present did not want to see such a situation.

"Factory Director, when other units encounter this problem, they set up new collective enterprises outside the main body of the factory to resettle the educated youth who return to the factory."

“Can our factory consider following this idea?”

At this time, a deputy factory director suggested. "This is the idea, but how to implement it? Although our factory has good benefits, the cost of relocation this time is not small, and we do not have the ability to carry out large-scale construction in the short term."

The other deputy director looked embarrassed and shook his head.

At this time, more people spoke.

Some people think that they can apply for loans from banks to set up collective factories.

Some people objected, believing that this would increase the burden on the factory and that a lower-cost solution should be proposed.

Director Gao said nothing, just watched the two sides continue to argue calmly.

He doesn't like to get involved in the debates among team members, but is used to finalizing the decision at critical moments.

Xu Jichang also said nothing, only occasionally writing a few words in his notebook. His expression was as calm as Director Gao's. It was impossible to guess what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

Just as the debate intensified, Director Gao spoke up: "It is imperative to start a new business."

"It's just that the cost cannot be too high. The current limit we can afford is [-]. Beyond this number, all plans will be discussed."

The other factory leaders present fell silent for a moment.

5 yuan to set up a collective enterprise?This budget is really low.

Not to mention buying machines and so on, even building a color steel factory building is not enough.

But if the collective enterprise is not established as soon as possible, the increasingly heavy job placement tasks will immediately overwhelm the unit!
Everyone's heart became heavy.

Factory Director Gao didn't pay much attention to the expressions of other people present. He only focused his attention on Xu Jichang: "Comrade Jichang, you haven't said a word since the meeting."

"Now express your opinion."

Xu Jichang then raised his head: "5 yuan is enough, even a bit too much."

"Leave it to me and I will set up a collective enterprise without spending a penny."

Xu Jichang's tone was calm, but the factory leaders present seemed to have heard a thunder, and their eyes widened at the same time.

Set up a collective enterprise without spending a penny?This is not common sense!
Site, factory, machinery...

What kind of things are not made with free money!

Even if you are a white wolf with nothing, you still have to tie up your children as bait. How can you run a business without money?
"Oh? It won't cost you a penny?"

Director Gao smiled slightly, showing a very interested expression, "Tell me what you plan to do."

"In the name of Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, an affiliated distribution company was established as a collective company."

"Select those who have a good personal image and pass the standard of eloquence among the educated youth who have returned to the city to join the distribution company and be responsible for the sales of unit products."

Xu Jichang said slowly, "Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, our factory must have enough products for flexible sales."

Distribution company?

That's a great idea!

Why didn't you think of it!
After listening to Xu Jichang's plan, the factory leaders who were on site with their ears pricked up all applauded in their hearts.

A distribution company is different from a factory. It doesn't cost much to open. It only needs a few offices and tables, chairs and benches to open.

Not even an office is needed. Sales staff spend most of their time on business trips and sales, and there are not many who work all year round.

I can only say that my thinking is narrow. When I heard that employment was to be solved, my first reaction was to set up factories. I never thought of using the tertiary industry to create jobs.

"This is a good method. It's low cost and has great potential to create jobs. I think it's good."

Minister Zhang was the first to express his position with a smile, looking at Xu Jichang with admiring eyes.

Minister Zhang is in charge of personnel in the factory, and the pressure to attract jobs falls directly on him.It really helped Xu Jichang to come up with such a good idea.

Why is this young man so smart and discerning?

He was able to resolve such a tricky and complicated situation with one simple move. Just by looking at it, you can tell that he will definitely be successful in the future.

Minister Zhang thought to himself as he looked at Xu Jichang.

"I think it's okay too. And the distribution company should play a big role in our factory."

"That's right. The flexible sales quota given by the boss is expanding day by day. I guess it's not far away that I can rely entirely on myself for sales in the future."

……

The factory leaders praised Xu Jichang one by one, and many eyes of surprise and admiration fell on Xu Jichang.

"Well, I have heard everyone's opinions. I agree with Comrade Xu Jichang's proposal."

At the other end of the conference table, Director Gao looked at Xu Jichang with happy and serious eyes and said, "Let's establish a collective enterprise in the name of a distribution company."

"I will notify the specific relevant personnel to make arrangements for the specific follow-up matters. The meeting is adjourned!"

"By the way, Ji Chang, please stay for a while."

"Whoa..."

"Kara..."

There was a sound of tables, chairs and benches, as well as the sound of joint movements made by factory leaders, mostly middle-aged and elderly, after they stood up because they had been sitting for a long time.

Xu Jichang stood up from his seat, put the chair under the table, and walked to the other end of the conference table: "What are the instructions from the factory director?"

The factory leader still hasn't left, so he can't call him Uncle Gao like usual.

"Do you have any specific ideas about setting up an affiliated distribution company later?"

Director Gao pulled out a chair for him and pointed to the chair surface.

Xu Jichang sat down on the chair: "I hope that personnel can enter and exit flexibly."

Sales is a job that highly tests personal ability and diligence.If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work.

Those who cannot complete the sales task must adjust in time.

"Well, I give you this power."

Factory Director Gao understood what Xu Jichang meant, nodded slightly and said, "Anyway, the superiors only require us to solve the problem of employment for educated youths, and they are not required to give them formal worker status."

"do you have anything else?"

Xu Jichang was shocked after hearing this: It is obvious that Director Gao has already considered himself as the top candidate of the sales company.

It was a big surprise.

"There is also a need to liberalize the salary aspect."

Xu Jichang continued, “Otherwise, enthusiasm cannot be mobilized.”

"Okay. However, the factory can only guarantee the basic salary of employees. You have to figure out your own way for bonuses."

Director Gao continued to agree.

Xu Jichang rarely shook his head: "No need, Uncle Gao. As long as the quota given by the factory is enough, I believe the distribution company can support itself."

Xu Jichang thought clearly.

If you let yourself be the manager of a distribution company, then you don't want this company to be controlled by others too much.

The best way to not be controlled by others is not to take the other party's money.
