It turned out that the day after Cao Zhiqiang officially broke Gua Qinghong, Hongguang Machinery Factory called Cao Zhiqiang and asked Cao Zhiqiang to go to the work unit the next morning.

Just like this, two days ago, Cao Zhiqiang went to work at Hongguang Machinery Factory early in the morning, and as soon as he went to work, he was called to the factory director's office.

Director Li was in his office, chatting kindly with Cao Zhiqiang for a long time, and the topic was about the publishing house.

According to Director Li, the publishing license applied for by Hongguang Machinery Factory has been approved.

In other words, from the moment Director Li came to talk to Cao Zhiqiang, there was already a new publishing house affiliated with Hongguang Machinery Factory - Hongguang Publishing House.

Don't blame the name because it was decided in advance. In fact, the name of the publishing house is really beyond Cao Zhiqiang's control.

After all, the main sponsor of this publishing house is Hongguang Machinery Factory, so according to normal procedures, the new publishing house must of course be called Hongguang Publishing House.

In order to take care of Cao Zhiqiang, the former editor-in-chief of Hongguang Magazine, Zhou Huaien, was appointed as the president of Hongguang Publishing House.

The reason why Zhou Huaien is appointed as the president is not only because he is the oldest and has the highest seniority, but also because Zhou Huaien is now 58 years old and is about to retire.

Nowadays, Editor-in-Chief Zhou is basically retiring at home in Hongguang Machinery Factory. In the past, he did not even need to participate in the duty activities of the magazine department. He only had to go there regularly at the end of every month to check the contents.

It only matters if there are any sensitive issues in the published article.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Huai'en's previous position was said to be chief editor, but in reality it was just a review. He only needed to show up at the end of the month for final inspection, and he was not required to do anything else.

When this old man came to be the president, he clearly delegated power to Cao Zhiqiang, the general manager.

That's right, according to Director Li, after the Hongguang Press applied for it, it was nominally a subsidiary unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory, but in fact, Hongguang Machinery Factory would sign an internal contracting agreement with Cao Zhiqiang personally.

.

In other words, as long as the contract agreement is signed, Cao Zhiqiang will be the general manager of this publishing house and will be fully responsible for all operating matters of this publishing house. However, Hongguang Machinery Factory does not need to pay a penny to this publishing house.

Cao Zhiqiang only has a publishing house, and everything else, such as office space, water and electricity bills, and staff salaries, etc., are all Cao Zhiqiang's responsibility.

By the way, the old people from the original Hongguang Magazine Department, such as Lao Qian and Sister Niu, were also arranged to join the newly established Hongguang Publishing House.

It's just that these people don't need to work in a publishing house, they just need to be idle and get their wages on time.

In other words, whether it is President Zhou or Sister Niu, those old people who used to work at Hongguang Magazine are now paid by Cao Zhiqiang, but their relationship is still with Hongguang Machinery Factory.

People like Sister Niu do not need to participate in the operation and management of the publishing house, but their salaries must be paid on time, and other medical reimbursements and other benefits must not be bad. This is equivalent to letting Cao Zhiqiang support these idle people for the machinery factory.

As a result, Hongguang Machinery Factory will have one less burden, but this burden will have to be shouldered by Cao Zhiqiang.

It doesn't matter, after all, it's just the salary of six people. Even if bonuses and allowances are included, it's nothing in this era. Cao Zhiqiang didn't notice it anyway.

As a contractor, Hongguang Publishing House should also pay a management fee, or contracting fee, to Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Generally speaking, this kind of contracting fee can be divided into two models, one is the unfixed sharing model, and the other is the fixed model.

The sharing model means that the publishing house and the machinery factory share the money in proportion to their profits.

Generally, it is 30-70 cents, which means that the publishing house pays a fixed 30% of its profits to the machinery factory every year.

The disadvantage of this model is that the more the publishing house makes, the more money it has to pay.

The advantage is that if the publishing house does not make a profit or suffers a loss, it theoretically does not need to pay management fees.

As for a contractor, since he has the right to operate a unit, if he wants to cause the unit he has contracted to suffer a loss on the books, it is too simple. He can just find a qualified accountant to do it.

Therefore, during this period, most contractors generally like to play the share-sharing model, but most contracted units often do not like it because the risks are too high.

Another model is the fixed management fee model.

In this model, no matter whether the unit contracted by you as a contractor makes a profit or loses money, or whether you make more or less, you only need to pay a fixed management fee.

Under this model, the contractor is under greater pressure, while the contracted unit is under less pressure, because no matter whether the contractor makes a profit or loses money, the contracted party will always get money.

Originally, because of the good relationship, Director Li wanted Cao Zhiqiang to implement a share-sharing model.

After all, under the share-sharing model, the contractor can play many tricks and have less pressure. As long as he makes a book loss every year, the machinery factory will not ask for management fees from him.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of care from Secretary Dong and Factory Director Li, who want to help Cao Zhiqiang start his own business.

Of course, the premise of this kind of care is that Cao Zhiqiang has a good relationship with the two big leaders, Uncle Xu and Uncle Wang. If it weren't for these two giant Buddhas, neither Secretary Dong nor Factory Director Li would be so kind to Cao Zhiqiang.

Easy to talk to.

Among them, Uncle Xu has actually been relegated to the second line, and his actual power is not great, but his connections and prestige are there.

But Uncle Wang is different. Not only does Uncle Wang have connections and prestige, he is also a leader with real power. In terms of power and status, he is only higher than Uncle Xu.

With these two people standing behind Cao Zhiqiang, they were just a publishing house, and Hongguang Machinery Factory didn't take them seriously at all.

In fact, although in Cao Zhiqiang's view, units like publishing houses are very important, difficult to manage, and even promising.

But in the eyes of many people, especially people like Secretary Dong and Director Li, a mere publishing house is nothing.

Because opening a publishing house is very difficult for Cao Zhiqiang himself, but for people like Secretary Dong and Director Li, it is not a problem at all.

Cao Zhiqiang later learned that even if he didn't ask for help from senior leaders but only from Secretary Dong and Director Li, he could still get his unit to apply for a publishing house and then hand it over to him as the contractor.

The reason is very simple, that is, it is not difficult to be powerful.

As an individual, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to open a publishing house, but it was certainly difficult at this time.

But Hongguang Machinery Factory, as a large state-owned enterprise in Beijing with more than 8,000 people and directly affiliated to the Ministry of Metallurgy, would not be easy if it wanted to apply for a publishing house in the name of the company.

I didn't do this before, just because it was too troublesome and unnecessary, and I was afraid of adding another loss-making department.

After all, during this period, most publishing houses were actually loss-making units. At this time, they were similar in nature to hospitals. They were all under a differential funding model, not a self-financing model like a design institute.

The era when publishing houses really became popular, when a hundred flowers blossomed, and every unit wanted to set up a publishing house to make money. That was only after 1985.

What a coincidence, that is, around 1985, most publishing houses became self-financing units, and everything was responsible for their own profits and losses.

Perhaps it is precisely because most publishing houses have become self-financing units and are under great pressure that later publishing houses only focused on making money.

The sideline magazines and pirated audio tapes are all produced by a bunch of no-name publishing houses.

Of course, it was precisely because of the chaos during that period that after the 1990s, relevant departments began to strictly investigate and crack down, and a large number of problematic publishing houses were cancelled.

In addition, let me tell you a little knowledge.

That is, in the 1980s, not all publishing houses were public institutions. State-owned enterprises could also open publishing houses.

But in most cases, such as in big cities like Beijing, most publishing houses are public institutions.

But in local cities, especially small cities established on the basis of enterprises, such as the birthplace of Qinghong, many local publishing houses are state-owned enterprises and are subordinate units of factories.

In those small local cities, local government agencies and institutions are far less powerful than local state-owned enterprises. Not only are they not as rich as state-owned enterprises, they also do not have the power.

Therefore, as a state-owned enterprise in the capital, Hongguang Machinery Factory has no problem applying for a publishing house.

However, for state-owned publishing houses, this is no longer a differential funding model. The government will not allocate funds to this type of publishing house. Instead, the sponsoring state-owned enterprise will be entirely responsible for the publishing house’s expenses.

However, whether it is a publishing house modeled as a public institution or a publishing house modeled as a state-owned enterprise, it must be supervised by the Publishing Bureau.

Therefore, the Hongguang Publishing House contracted by Cao Zhiqiang is only managed by the Hongguang Machinery Factory, but it is also subject to the management and supervision of the Publishing Bureau.

In the eyes of Director Li, after the publishing house is established, if it can be contracted out and there is no need to invest money in it, and someone will support them with a group of old employees who only take money but do not work, and pay a lot of money, then it is still a waste.

I couldn’t ask for it more.

Even if he doesn't need management fees in order to allow people to provide for others, that's fine.

You know, whether it's Lao Zhou, Lao Qian, or Sister Niu from the original magazine department.

Those people are all senior cadres, with high seniority and seniority, so their wages are quite high, with an average of two hundred yuan per person per month.

On average, each person is two hundred, so six people are one thousand two hundred, which is actually more than one thousand five.

This thousand and a half is given every month, which works out to eighteen thousand yuan a year, which is really not a small amount of money!

Not counting the medical reimbursement of these people, at this time, the medical expenses of these factory cadres are fully reimbursed!

If you include medical expenses, these old guys will spend at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year!

This amount of money is a considerable burden for Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Therefore, in Director Li's view, Cao Zhiqiang can contract a magazine and support idle people like Lao Zhou, which is a great help to Hongguang Machinery Factory. It would be a bit unethical to ask for management fees, let alone

Cao Zhiqiang still has a lot of connections behind his back.

It's just that Hongguang Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise after all, and it must follow rules in everything. It is impossible not to ask for management fees, and it cannot be passed organizationally, so it has to be symbolic no matter what.

That’s why Director Li wanted Cao Zhiqiang to choose the share-sharing model.

Because in this way, as long as Cao Zhiqiang manipulates the accounts and makes losses every year, he will not have to pay management fees.

But Cao Zhiqiang did not choose this, but chose the fixed payment model.

The reason is very simple. In Cao Zhiqiang's view, no matter how clever you are in making false accounts, there are still traces. As long as someone checks, they will definitely be found out. And once found out, it is not a matter of making up money, it is very likely to be continued.

The license will be revoked.

In addition, falsifying accounts is not so easy to pass.

It was okay when Factory Director Li and Secretary Dong were both there, but what if they were replaced?

Secretary Dong is now fifty-six, and Factory Director Li is also fifty-five, both of whom are about to retire.

Once these two people retire and a new leader comes in, they may not be so easy to talk to.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he is very confident in himself.
To be continued...
