The main leaders of the municipal party committee have spoken out, and this matter will naturally be over. There is no need to worry about anyone holding on to this matter.
In fact, when he first bought the property, Zhang Junping also considered buying it himself and renting it to the company.
In that case, it will indeed save a lot of trouble.
However, renting and buying are different after all. Galleries and art stores are different from other luxury stores. Especially when Zhang Junping wants to open the market in the short term and make profits, there is a difference between buying or renting a house.
Very big.
You promise to preserve the value of art works. What promise do you make?
There is a credibility issue here.
However, what art companies lack is credibility.
If you tell consumers: The art company is state-owned and trustworthy.
In this era, it is better to say that art companies are privately owned and more trustworthy.
There are some things involved here. Things that happened in the 1950s and 1960s cannot be detailed.
Therefore, after Zhang Junping thought about it, he decided to lend the money to the company and let the company buy the facade building.
As for the controversy Wu Xinping mentioned before, Zhang Junping already knew it.
I have also said that not everyone can figure him out. He has an old father-in-law who has an old leader above him.
The old leader is a member of the Presbyterian Church.
"Master, how is our filing process going?" Zhang Junping asked about business.
"We're working on it right now! You kid, you're really going to find me a job!"
Do you know how troublesome it is to file tens of thousands of calligraphy and painting works one by one and have photos?" Wu Xinping said angrily.
"The trouble is nothing, the key is, do you know how much manpower and material resources will be used?
You kid, if your upper lip touches your lower lip and you notice, your master will break his leg and scratch his mouth!" Wu Xinping was full of complaints when he mentioned filing.
Of course, this is not a complaint against the work, but a complaint against myself as a cheap apprentice.
Wu Xinping felt proud and depressed at the same time as he had such an apprentice.
Pride naturally comes from the achievements of an apprentice. Who doesn't want his apprentice to be better than his master?
As a disciple, I have accomplished this, but I am very good at instructing others. As a master, I am constantly being instigated.
In order to compile this artwork file, all employees in our company are now on duty, and those interns have also completed their training ahead of schedule and entered their jobs.
If this is not enough, I also invited students from Central America to work part-time." Wu Xinping briefly explained the situation to Zhang Junping.
"Master, thank you for your hard work! If it weren't for the fact that Jiang is still too old, it would be a great idea for you to invite students from Central America to work part-time." Zhang Junping said sincerely.
"Stop doing this! You can use your nice words to coax me!" Wu Xinping glared at Zhang Junping.
Although I say I don’t want to do this, in fact, it actually makes me feel good.
After chatting with Wu Xinping for a while, Zhang Junping returned to the office.
"Xiangzi, Juanzi, go and notify the heads of departments at home. They will come to my office for a meeting in half an hour." When he returned to the office, Zhang Junping asked Xia Guoxiang and Li Wenjuan to notify them.
"yes!"
If you say there will be a meeting in half an hour, no one will be so stupid as to wait half an hour before coming over.
In less than five minutes, people came to Zhang Junping's office one after another.
When it comes to talking about it, you can get close to the leader, but you can't exchange feelings.
"Manager, you are back!" The first person to come in was Lu Guozhong, the company's deputy manager and office director.
"Back!
You just happened to come over and I have something to tell you.
You can arrange for people to go to Hangzhou and Fujian later, contact the local governments, and arrange for them to visit some tea mountains.
Famous teas such as Longjing, Dahongpao and Tieguanyin all contain at least one tea mountain." Zhang Junping explained to Lu Guozhong.
“Manager, we don’t know how to grow tea either!”
"Lao Lu, what are you thinking? If you don't know how to grow tea, you can't build tea mountains?
Co-author, according to your theory, I can’t work in an art company even if I don’t know how to paint?” Before Zhang Junping could speak, Chen Lijun, who came in from the outside, started to retort.
"Minister Chen, that's not what I meant.
I mean, our art company has nothing to do with tea!" Lu Guozhong also knew that there was something wrong with what he just said, so he quickly explained.
"Lao Lu, who do you think our art company deals with?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm dealing with artists!"
"Artists all like to drink tea and talk about Taoism. When dealing with artists, it is more elegant to give tea." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Manager, there's no need to pack tea, right? If we need tea to give gifts to the artists, we can go directly to the tea company to buy it." Lu Guozhong frowned.
"Buy tea? That's fine!
Lao Lu, go and buy me one thousand catties of Shifeng Longjing in Qing Dynasty and ten thousand catties of Shifeng Longjing in Qian rain.
Now that the spring tea is here, we have to express our gratitude to our contracted artists." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Uh... Manager! This... This... If you want two or three kilograms, it's easy to handle, but a thousand kilograms...
"..." Lu Guozhong said hesitantly with a grimace.
"What? Didn't you just say that if you need tea, you can go directly to the tea company to buy it? Hurry up and do it, I'll wait for it!" Zhang Junping frowned and looked at Lu Guozhong.
"Manager, Ming and Qing Longjing is already scarce and is not sold on the market at all. You also asked for Shifeng Longjing. Where can I buy it for you?" Lu Guozhong simply refused.
"Lao Lu, you just kept saying that you can buy it from the tea company! Did Minister Chen hear it too?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Yes, I certify that Deputy Manager Lu just said that you can go to the tea company to buy tea." Chen Lijun raised her hand with a smile to testify.
"Okay, you don't have to attend this meeting. You should hurry up and find a way to buy tea. This is a major event related to the next development of our art company.
If the tea leaves affect the art company’s next development plan and the art’s ability to earn foreign exchange for the country, Lao Lu, you will become a sinner of the country." Zhang Junping looked at Lu Guozhong and said with a smile.
"Manager, it's just a tea leaf. There's no need to go online, right? I don't believe it. Without tea leaves, those artists wouldn't write or draw."
"That's right! It's just a tea leaf. You can't work without tea leaves?" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded, "Then we will do what Lao Lu wants. From now on, we will not give gifts to those works of art during the New Year holidays.
Without gifts, why don't they write and draw?
Also, within our art company, we will no longer provide benefits during the holidays. Without benefits, everyone will not work?
You're so used to it!" Zhang Junping nodded in agreement.
Lu Guozhong's face turned green. If these words spread, Lu Guozhong would be scolded to death.
At this time, Lu Guozhong regretted a little, what was he doing?
What are the benefits of discussing this with the manager?
While we were talking, the heads of various departments arrived.
"I just came back from abroad. Our art company has been developing well during this period, and we have finally assembled the company's party committee team." Zhang Junping said the opening remarks with a smile.
When Zhang Junping left, he asked Wu Xinping to communicate with the bureau and promoted Lu Guozhong, Zheng Dongmei, and Chen Lijun to deputy managers. Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying were members of the company's party committee and enjoyed deputy director-level treatment.
"There are two things in today's meeting. The first thing is that Lu Guozhong is now the deputy manager of the company, so we have to appoint a new comrade to take charge of the office director.
If you have any candidates, please mention them.
Although it is relatively sudden, we still adopt democratic centralism. Everyone will first introduce the people they like and then discuss it together.
Xiao Li, why are you standing there dazed? Why don't you hurry up and pour tea for the leaders? You really have no vision at all!" Zhang Junping scolded Li Wenjuan who was standing aside taking notes.
Everyone understands.
"Manager, I think Li Wenjuan is good. Although the girl is young, you have trained her well, manager.
He's no worse than us old guys when it comes to handling people and things." Lu Zhaode was the first to speak.
"I think Comrade Li Wenjuan is very suitable for the position of office director.
The country has always been advocating the rejuvenation of cadres and improving the cultural level of cadres.
Li Wenjuan is a high school graduate, and with this degree she serves as the office director. I see no problem at all." Zheng Dongmei followed up by expressing her opinion.
"Manager, you can't suppress Li Wenjuan's little girl just because she is your apprentice to avoid suspicion." Chen Lijun said with a sweet smile.
"No, no! Li Wenjuan is only eighteen years old, what kind of office director should she be?
Isn’t this nonsense?”
"Manager, if you say that, I have to say a few words.
What's wrong with being eighteen? You are allowed to be a manager in your twenties, but we, Juanzi, are not allowed to be the office director at the age of eighteen?" Song Heping said scornfully.
Lu Guozhong looked at the people in front of him blankly, who am I? Where am I?
Zhang Junping didn't even need to speak, he just hinted a little, and four of the seven team members had already agreed.
"You guys! What a nonsense. Li Wenjuan is too young and has too little qualifications. She should just work as a clerk in the office temporarily.
If you don't have a better candidate, then leave it vacant for the time being while your HR department seizes the time to find a suitable candidate.
The second topic is to adjust the division of labor.
In the past, the team members were not all together, so the division of labor was quite chaotic. Now that we have all the people in the team, let’s reorganize the division of labor.
I recommend:
Secretary Wu is in charge of the Party and Government Office, Publicity Department, and Discipline Inspection Department.
My personal focus is on the finance department, chain galleries and chain art stores.
Comrade Zheng Dongmei is in charge of the personnel department, office, security department, and training department, and continues to serve as the director of the personnel department.
Comrade Chen Lijun is in charge of the business development department, archives room and mounting studio, and continues to serve as the director of the business development department.
Comrade Lu Guozhong is in charge of the Women's Federation, Trade Union, and Logistics Section.
Lao Lu, your burden is very heavy!
Whether it's the training or logistics department, they are very important departments, and you can't let anything go wrong.
Master, do you think this distribution is okay?" After Zhang Junping finished speaking, he turned to look at Wu Xinping and asked with a smile.
Wu Xinping cursed in his heart, "You bastard, you've already finished dividing the food before you come to ask me."
“The company is different from the administrative department. The party committee of the administrative department is in charge of personnel, ideology, party discipline and state laws.
However, when it comes to the company, the party committee is only responsible for ideology and party building work.
Everything else is your responsibility as the manager.
The purpose of this is to allow you to free up your hands and feet to work.
I support your decision!" Wu Xinping said calmly.
Lu Guozhong's face was ashen, but he was helpless. Even the old leader did not speak for him.
No one sympathized with him, and everyone was happy that the scope of their responsibility had expanded.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about the personnel matters, let's talk about the company's business development during this period.
Manager Chen, you go ahead!" Zhang Junping said to Chen Lijun with a smile without looking at Lu Guozhong.
"Okay, manager!
According to your instructions when you were in France, we..." Chen Lijun reported on her work in the recent period.
“Has the first group of artists to participate in the exhibition in France been decided yet?”
"It's settled, here's the list!" Chen Lijun quickly took out a list and handed it to Zhang Junping.
Zhang Junping took it and took a look at it, nodded noncommittally, picked up the pen, and added a name on it.
Zhang Junping really has no objection to who participates in the touring exhibition. Anyway, in the end, the company and the country will benefit.
"I will go back to Mr. Yuan Bo's work. He must participate in this traveling exhibition. There are people waiting for him in Paris!" Zhang Junping smiled and told Yang Yeming's story.
"Master, this is a letter written by Mr. Yang to his uncle." Then he took out the letter Yang Yeming wrote to Qi Gong from his briefcase and handed it to Wu Xinping.
"Yang Yeming, I know this person. He is a patriotic businessman. He is very accomplished in Chinese studies and calligraphy. Your uncle will be very happy if he knows about it." Wu Xinping took the letter and said with a smile.
"I have to ask my uncle to treat me later, otherwise I won't be able to give him this letter." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"That's it! Let him go to Zhiweizhai to treat us!"
The two exchanged a few words and continued the meeting.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lou, are your special issue and first issue ready?"
"It's done. Now we can take advantage of the art archives. The special issue and the first issue have been produced. Here are the sample issues. Take a look!" Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying quickly took out two thick sample issues.
Leave it to Zhang Junping.
"Master, have you seen it?" Zhang Junping turned to Wu Xinping and asked.
"I saw it and it felt pretty good!" Wu Xinping nodded.
Zhang Junping first took out the first issue of "BJ Painting Shop". The cover was okay, very simple, but full of artistic beauty.
As an art magazine, if even a cover cannot be designed well, then there is no need to continue running this magazine.
After flipping through it, Zhang Junping started reading with confidence.
After reading it, I did not express any opinions and continued to pick up the special issue and read it.
Then, I picked up "Impression of China" and read it myself.
The office was very quiet, Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying looked at Zhang Junping nervously.
They have been busy for so long, and whether they succeed depends on Zhang Junping's words.
“Overall good.
However, there is a problem here, Mr. Lou, "Chinese Impression" is a comprehensive art magazine, and its content should cover all art categories, not just calligraphy and painting.
I took a look and found that "Impression of China" also touches on traditional handicrafts. The facade includes jade carving, ivory carving, and wood carving.
But! Calligraphy and painting account for too much!
If it is a certain issue of a magazine, it doesn’t matter if the proportion of calligraphy and painting is larger.
Now that we are publishing the first issue, we should clearly tell readers in the first chapter what our magazine is about."
"I know the manager, we will make adjustments immediately!" Lou Xinying's face looked a little ugly, but she still nodded in agreement.
"Another point is that "Impressions of China" must be both interesting and readable.
We want readers to read "Impressions of China" like reading an interesting novel.
I seem to have mentioned before that behind every antique, there are many interesting things or exciting and ups and downs stories.
You need to tell the story well and integrate traditional craftsmanship into the story.
Instead of sending the data like an academic report.
In fact, you can study the gossip tabloids, entertainment newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong.
Of course, I’m not asking you to reveal the private lives of artists, but you can write about the embarrassing things about artists in a moderate way, such as being careless and forgetting to bring money when buying things, or being too involved in creation, and even the ink is all over your face.
Note that after finishing the creation, I just wiped my hands and went out, and ended up being laughed at without even realizing it.
This kind of harmless fun can bring readers and artists closer together." Zhang Junping tapped two magazines with his fingers.
To be honest, Zhang Junping was not satisfied with the two first issues, but Wu Xinping set the tone in the previous one, which was pretty good.
This made Zhang Junping regret asking Wu Xinping for his opinion.
I can only talk about too many calligraphy and painting sections in "Impression of China", but I don't know if two people can understand what I mean.
"Hurry up the time to arrange the printing of the special issue, and hurry up and send it out after printing." Zhang Junping could only say truthfully in the end.
After the meeting, Zhang Junping came to Wu Xinping's office.
"What's going on with Xiao Lu?" When the meeting just started, Wu Xinping naturally supported Zhang Junping unconditionally. After the meeting, he must understand the situation.
"Since becoming the deputy manager, Lu Guozhong has been a little distracted and doesn't know how many bowls of rice he has eaten.
Before I came back, I went to the human resources department to give advice and wanted to interfere in human affairs matters, but Zheng Dongmei pushed me back.
He also threatened to change his position and asked a young intern girl to date his son.
I just arranged for him to pack a few tea mountains, but this guy actually objected to me righteously, saying that there was no need to pack tea mountains and that if you need tea, you can buy it directly from the tea company.
It means that I am doing something unnecessary." Zhang Junping said with a cold smile.
"This Xiao Lu is simply too much! I used to think that this guy was very efficient and obedient, but I didn't expect..." Wu Xinping became angry when he heard this and cursed angrily.
"Master, some people can't give them rights. If you give them some rights, they won't know what their last name is."
"What are you going to do with him?" Wu Xinping asked.
