Life 1984

Chapter 322 Do you want to be a producer?

Li Yunhai was shocked. The typewriter factory had received the care of Sihai Group in the past two years, and the results were pretty good. Jiang Zhijun was the director of the factory, so how could he not even get 3000 yuan?

He coughed lightly, opened his briefcase, took out three wads of money, and handed them to Jiang Zhijun.

"Director Jiang, this is 3000 yuan. You should take the emergency first."

Jiang Zhijun shook his head repeatedly: "You can't do it, Mr. Li! We can't afford to pay back so much money."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "It's only 3000 yuan, how can you not afford it? Take it! It's important to save people!"

Jiang Zhijun chuckled, stretched out his hands to take it, and said, "Mr. Li, thank you! I'll give you an IOU."

Li Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now."

When Jiang Zhijun got money, he straightened up immediately. He stuffed the money into his wife's arms and said, "Why don't you go to the hospital?"

His wife hesitated to speak, put the money in her bag, and went out. After a while, she came up again and picked up the washbasin she had just thrown down and took it home.

Jiang Zhijun said awkwardly: "Mr. Li, I'm telling you a joke. Come on, please sit down."

His house was narrow and there were only a few chairs. It was difficult for Li Yunhai to sit down, so he said, "Director Jiang, let's go outside and talk!"

Jiang Zhijun said hello, said a few words to his parents, and then went downstairs with Li Yunhai and the others.

Li Yunhai asked: "Is your family in such a difficult situation? It's impossible, right? Aren't the typewriter factory's profits recently very good?"

Jiang Zhijun sighed: "No matter how good the profits are, they can't fill the holes caused by previous losses. So many workers and retired employees have to be fed by the factory!"

Li Yunhai probably understood what was going on and said, "Then you are the director of the factory. Your bonuses and benefits should be quite generous."

Jiang Zhijun said: "My monthly salary is 126 yuan. As you can see, there are so many people in my family to support. The factory where my parents work has been reorganized and diverted. They are older and cannot find jobs, so they are retired at home. .My wife’s work unit is not very profitable, and she gets a minimum salary of 36 yuan a month. I still have three children who need to go to school. How can our salary be enough? My mother-in-law is in poor health, and my wife is an only child. The elderly couple in her family also have to bear the burden on us."

Li Yunhai nodded: "That's really difficult."

Jiang Zhijun said: "My wife and I are both only children, so we thought about having two more children so that our children would not have the same difficulties as us in the future. But what happened? Our generation has it even more difficult!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "No matter how difficult it is, it will only last a few years. Your children will grow up soon and will be able to work and make money soon. The day when you will finally be rewarded after all your hard work is not far away!"

Jiang Zhijun smiled, but his brows furrowed deeper.

The group arrived at the International Hotel, and Gong Jie ordered a table of food and wine.

Jiang Zhijun said: "Mr. Li, you don't have to spend so much money! You are a guest in Shanghai, so I should treat you."

Li Yunhai said: "There is no need to make such a clear distinction between us."

As soon as the food and drinks were served, Gong Jie filled the wine glasses for all three of them. She didn't know what Li Yunhai had to do with Jiang Zhijun, and thought they were talking about the production of typewriters.

After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Zhijun asked: "Mr. Li, you said you have something to discuss with me. What is it? If it is a production matter, please don't worry. I promise to deliver the goods on time. I am a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. No matter how bad things go, it won’t affect my work.”

Li Yunhai said: "Director Jiang, with the current situation in the typewriter factory, have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

Jiang Zhijun was stunned: "Changing jobs? In terms of efficiency, our factory is pretty good. I can't get into a better unit."

Li Yunhai said: "If there is an opportunity for you to develop in Xizhou, would you be willing?"

Jiang Zhijun asked: "Xizhou? What good work can you do for me?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "Would you like to work in our group?"

Jiang Zhijun asked: "Which factory in Xizhou?"

Li Yunhai said: "It's like this. Our group headquarters lacks a vice president to manage production. I wonder if Factory Director Jiang is willing to come and submit?"

"Ah?" Jiang Zhijun was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't believe his ears.

This is the Sihai Group!
Although the Shanghai Typewriter Factory once had great glory, that is all in the past. Today’s typewriter landscape is subject to change, and the world of smart typewriters has long been dominated by Sihai smart typewriters.The Shanghai Typewriter Factory also became a foundry for Sihai Group.Without the order from Sihai Group, this factory would have been the first target of reform in the trend of reform.

In terms of size, Sihai Group is a multi-billion company, dozens of times larger than Shanghai Typewriter.

The development prospects are improving. Sihai Group is an emerging technology industry. It is in the best period of development and has a bright future.

In terms of job position, Jiang Zhijun was just a factory in Shanghai Typewriter Factory, but when he arrived at Sihai Group, he was the vice president of production at the headquarters, which was completely different.

Happiness came so suddenly that Jiang Zhijun was stunned and forgot to answer Li Yunhai for a while.

Li Yunhai said: "Let me tell you about the salary package first. Our company's vice president's current salary is 2000 yuan per month, which is 2 yuan a year. Year-end bonus, benefits, and dividends are not included. "

Only then did Gong Jie realize Li Yunhai's intentions, so naturally she wanted to help him put in a good word, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I think it's pretty good. I've made more money than I used to make in movies."

Li Yunhai said: "You are the branch manager, and you have performance commissions. Of course your income is high. Director Jiang, if you come to our headquarters, although you will not get commissions, you are the vice president in charge of production, and you will receive year-end bonuses, There will be more performance awards.”

After a long time, Jiang Zhijun finally let out a breath and said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Li, you don't have to pity me. My abilities are limited and I can't take on such a big responsibility. You have also seen that I can't even manage the housework." It’s going to be a mess.”

He also thought that Li Yunhai wanted to help him because he saw that his family was in difficulty.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Director Jiang, it is difficult for an upright official to handle household affairs. No one can manage the affairs of this family well. What I value is your management ability in the factory. To tell you the truth, I am very interested in products." The quality of products has an almost paranoid high requirement and strict standard. I can’t wait to reduce the repair rate and return rate of products to zero! I know that you are also a person who is strict with yourself and strict with your subordinates at work. In this regard, Yes, we are connected. That’s why I want to ask you to come over and help me. I hope Director Jiang can agree and let’s work together to create a great cause!”

Jiang Zhijun looked serious and said: "Mr. Li, you think so highly of me. If I continue to be ignorant, I will be a useless person! I promise you!"

Li Yunhai said: "Great! Come on, let me toast you! After you go home, discuss this matter with your family first. After all, Shanghai is a big city, while Xizhou is a small place. If they don't agree, I won't Express understanding."

Jiang Zhijun took a generous sip of the wine and said: "What should I discuss with them when I am a man? I can see clearly, it is difficult for a rich man, but it is difficult for a man without money! If I can't make money, I can't do anything at home. Even my wife hates it. One year of working in Xizhou is equivalent to 20 years of working in Shanghai. Why don’t I go? Even a fool can calculate this debt! Mr. Li, I promise you now, I will settle it !”

Li Yunhai was naturally happy to have a good general and had a few more drinks with him.

After the meal, Li Yunhai took out 6000 yuan, handed it to Jiang Zhijun, and said: "This is your salary for the first three months. I will pay it to you in advance. You can settle down at home before coming to Xizhou."

Jiang Zhijun drank some wine and became excited. His big face turned red. He took the money, patted his chest and said, "Mr. Li, a man who knows his friends will die for his own good. I, Jiang Zhijun, will work hard for you from now on! Please look at me." Let’s show off!”

Li Yunhai said: "Okay!"

After Jiang Zhijun left, Gong Jie said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are really good at poaching. You hired a factory director with just a few words."

Li Yunhai said: "Who is the director of the factory? A movie star was fooled by my few words!"

Gong Jie knew that the person he was talking about was her, so she couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, and said with a cute smile: "Fooling? Are you fooling me?"

Li Yunhai said seriously: "You have to ask yourself this. If you are happy, happy and have a sense of accomplishment working in Sihai Group, then it is not considered cheating."

Gong Jie said: "Well, I am living a very happy life! I am very free! I don't have to stay up late, and I don't have to worry about whether there will be filming tomorrow, or whether anyone will appreciate the film. The most important thing is that I don't have to play someone else, I can play myself." Mr. Li, where should we go for a walk? The weather is so good, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant everywhere. It is a good time for an outing. "

Li Yunhai looked at the sky and said, "It's going to be dark soon. Where are we going? I'm not familiar with Shanghai either. You decide, I'll go with you."

Gong Jie pointed to the People's Park opposite the International Hotel: "Let's go to the park for a stroll?"

Li Yunhai agreed and followed her to the park.

There are many people in the park, and they all come out for a walk after dinner.

Several people walked towards me. One of them recognized Gong Jie and shouted, "Gong Jie! It's really you. Nice to meet you!"

While greeting the other party, Gong Jie introduced to Li Yunhai: "This is director Wang Pei. I once had a movie made by director Wang."

Li Yunhai said oh.

Wang Peixiao laughed and said: "Gong Jie, I have a play in my hand that is very suitable for you to act in. Do you want to try it?"

Gong Jie said: "Director Wang, I won't be filming anymore and will quit the film and television industry. There are so many newcomers coming out every year, are you still worried that you can't find a good heroine?"

Wang Peidao: "Oh, don't mention it! I went to the theater for an interview and tried hundreds of people they recommended, but none of them were smart. They are beautiful, but what's the use of just being beautiful? Those eyes are dead Yes, the acting is also dead, and the beauty is just as beautiful as a vase, which can’t bring out the charm in acting. I still want to use you as the heroine! The play you perform is alive!"

Gong Jie smiled and said: "Thank you, Director Wang, for thinking of me. I really don't want to act anymore now. I have a new job and I don't have the time or energy to invest in filming anymore."

Wang Pei shook his head and said: "What a pity, what a pity, what a loss!"

Li Yunhai thought this director was very interesting and smiled slightly.

Wang Pei looked at Li Yunhai and asked, "Who is this comrade?" Gong Jie introduced Li Yunhai's identity.

Wang Pei groaned and stretched out his hands: "Mr. Li from Sihai Group, nice to meet you! I've heard about his reputation for a long time! I didn't expect that Mr. Li is so young and promising, disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Li Yunhai shook hands with him: "Hello, Director Wang."

Wang Peidao: "Mr. Li, are you interested in investing in the film industry?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "Director Wang, it depends on what kind of movie it is. If it is a movie starring Sister Gong, then I will invest in it without hesitation."

Wang Pei was so anxious that he slapped the back of his hand: "Aren't you making things difficult? You clearly heard just now that she is unwilling to take my film! But, even if I can't get Gong Jie for this film, I will Invite another beautiful woman to play the role. Zhu Lin, have you heard of it?"

"Zhu Lin from North Zhunan Gong? The king of the daughter country in Journey to the West?"

"Yes, that's her! How about it? Is this drama worth your investment?"

"You are a big company, so you are still short of investment? The movies you make are purchased and sold under a unified system, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them."

"That's what I say, but you still need funding for filming in the early stage."

"How much investment is required?"

"Five million is enough!"

“What benefit can I get from this?”

"Producer! The first word that comes out of the movie is the producer! You can write your personal name, or you can write the name of Sihai Group. The more popular the movie, the more people will naturally see it. And you are the main character The producer can participate in the movie's dividends. We can discuss this ratio."

"Well, then I'll think about it."

"In this case, Mr. Li, please leave me a phone number and I will contact you later."

Li Yunhai said: "Do you have Gong Jie's phone number? I've been in Shanghai these days."

Wang Pei said no, so he asked Gong Jie for a business card, and then asked Li Yunhai for a business card as well.

After parting, Li Yunhai and Gong Jie continued to move forward.

Gong Jie said: "Director Wang is a very good person. He is a veteran director of Shanghai Film Studio. Most of the movies he directed are pretty good."

Li Yunhai said: "It's one thing to make a good film, but it's another thing to have a box office success."

Gong Jie said: "The movies he made last year had box office of millions."

Li Yunhai said: "So, even if I invest 50 yuan, even if I can't make a profit, I can at least get my money back? I can also advertise a lot."

Gong Jie said: "Absolutely. Director Wang's films have never lost money."

Li Yunhai nodded: "Then do you want to make a guest appearance?"

Gong Jie said: "This Director Wang is not reliable anymore. He has obviously made an appointment with Zhu Lin, and he wants to make an appointment with me. Isn't this intentional?"

Li Yunhai said: "Maybe he wants Bei Zhu and Nan Gong to appear on the screen together? This is also a good story! Maybe it will make a good drama."

Gong Jie said: "I've been busy with work recently, so I haven't been filming anymore."

Li Yunhai smiled slightly.

It got dark when it was dark.

The street lights in the park are lit one after another.

Li Yunhai and Gong Jie walked around and came out.

Gong Jie said: "Mr. Li, are you staying at the International Hotel?"

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, I live here. You go back, I will go to the company tomorrow."

Gong Jie said: "I have an appointment with a leader in charge of purchasing tomorrow. What do you think I can do to win this order? I am sincerely asking for your advice."

Li Yunhai asked: "Which unit?"

"Municipal Science and Technology Association."

“How many pieces of equipment are they going to purchase?”

"I don't know yet. Don't we have an appointment to meet tomorrow?"

"Shall we meet outside? Or will you go to their workplace?"

"I've been to their unit twice, and the leader entertained me very warmly, saying he was a fan of mine, and we could chat for a long time, but when it came to purchasing matters, he took matters into his own hands. So, I I’ll ask him out tomorrow and want to have a good talk.”

Li Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Then you invite him out for dinner at noon and we can meet him together?"

Gong Jie said: "That's what I thought. I made an appointment with him to meet at the Yangtze River Hotel. There is a Chinese and Western restaurant there. It just opened the year before last and it is very famous in the local area."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, then Yangtze River Hotel! You go back, I'm going back to the hotel to rest."

Gong Jie said: "Why don't you go sit at my place for a while? It's still early!"

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "You live at home, right? It's not convenient for me to go."

Gong Jie said: "No, I rented a house near the company. It's very convenient. You should at least go and find the door, right? You can come to me if you need anything in the future."

Li Yunhai nodded and said, "Since you have moved out, why not just buy a house?"

Gong Jie said with a smile: "I want to buy it too, will you invest?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said: "Let's do this. In the name of the company, I will pay you to buy a house. From now on, I will deduct a few hundred yuan from your salary every month and treat it as an installment payment. How about that? It's equivalent to you being I used my salary as collateral and took a loan from the company to buy a house.”

Gong Jie's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible? That would be great!"

Li Yunhai sent her back home.

This is a single room with a relatively large area of ​​more than 30 square meters.However, there are independent kitchens and bathrooms, which are relatively small, so it is worry-free to live alone.

Li Yunhai entered the room and saw that the door and window on the balcony were open. Gong Jie's clothes were hanging on the balcony. What caught his eye was a pair of white underwear.

Gong Jie hadn't noticed this yet, so he asked Li Yunhai to sit down, made a cup of tea and put it in his hand.

Li Yunhai drank tea and said: "Let me tell you the truth, go and see if there is a better house nearby. If it is suitable, you can buy it. I will pay you to buy it in the name of the company. You can use it again." The salary is enough.”

Gong Jie calculated carefully and said: "Then I can buy a better house. With my current salary so high, I can't spend so much money. I can pay 1000 yuan a month. One year. I can repay 2000 yuan, which is 12 yuan in ten years, then I can buy a house with less than 10 yuan, right?"

Li Yunhai said: "Of course. And your salary is constantly increasing."

Gong Jie said: "Okay, I will go look at the houses when I have time. If I see a good house, I will buy it."

Li Yunhai finished his tea and stood up to leave.

He returned to the hotel, called Lin Zhi, had a chat, and then took a shower and rested.

The next day, Li Yunhai came to the branch and went with Gong Jie to inspect the store on Nanjing Road.

This store covers an area of ​​400 square meters, and Sihai Group's products, including Paiqi's engineering machines, are sold inside.

Such a large office equipment store is also ranked among the best in Shanghai.

Li Yunhai asked Gong Jie: "Please make an appointment with the leader of the Science and Technology Association again. This will make it appear grand and formal."

Gong Jie used the store's phone number to contact the leaders of the Association for Science and Technology, and agreed to have dinner at the Western restaurant on the first floor of the Yangtze River Hotel at 12 noon.

After putting down the phone, Gong Jie smiled and said: "The leader promised to come at noon. Mr. Li, I have to rely on you to see if I can get this order. I really have no idea."
