Chapter 369: Dropping talents without sticking to one pattern
Chapter 369: Reducing talents in any way
Starting from September 20, the influential "Shenbao" magazine spent a whole month publishing "Jiangnan Enterprise Group Recruitment Inspiration" on the bottom quarter of the front page. This major move made a lot of money.
The attention of all walks of life across the country seems to have emerged overnight. With its strong strength, large capital investment, numerous high-paying positions, advanced machinery and equipment, etc., it has become the focus of heated discussion from all walks of life and has suddenly emerged.
The Nanchang "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" became familiar to people all over the world and soon became a sensational national news.
Not long after the ground-breaking announcement was published, the transportation companies affiliated to the "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" successively published news about their successful opening:
Regular passenger and cargo ship routes from Nanchang to Jiujiang, Nanchang to Hukou, and Nanchang to Qingjiang were opened, and road passenger and cargo transportation from Nanchang to Fuzhou and other eight surrounding counties were declared open for business.
In the next more than two months, various news about the "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" became the focus of heated discussions in newspapers across the country. It has a hardware factory that produces nails, iron wire, and hardware tools, and a daily-use factory that produces toilet soap, soap, and washing powder.
Chemical factories, pen factories and ink factories that produce pens and pencils, grain and oil food factories that produce high-quality tea oil and biscuits and candies, garment factories that produce all kinds of novel, beautiful and durable clothing, and shoe manufacturers that produce all kinds of rubber shoes and water shoes.
Factories and so on, one after another, brand-new factories and various products with the beautiful "Jiangnan" trademark have appeared in front of the public one after another.
On October 10th, the "Jiangnan Group" published recruitment advertisements in major newspapers across the country for a week, and announced to the country fifty students, including Qiu Mingxuan, Ding Molan, and Zhang Ruyi, who had received the "Anyi Education Fund"
As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused a huge response from all walks of life.
The newly established Jiangnan Medical College and Jiangnan Institute of Technology, which hired experts from Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Russia, began to recruit students from the five majors of medicine, machinery, textiles, architecture, and economics across the country. The first enrollment of the two schools was 300.
and 600 people. The registration period starts from the date of advertisement to December 1st. December 3rd, 4th and 5th is the entrance examination time. Once admitted, the college will exempt all students who pass the examination and physical examination.
Tuition, miscellaneous fees, room and board, and a monthly scholarship of five yuan is provided to one-third of the outstanding students. Each graduate with both ability and political integrity will have the opportunity to be sent to universities in Europe and the United States for further study.
"An Yi Education Foundation" under its umbrella provides full funding including travel expenses, tuition and living expenses.
Now the famous An Yi has become even more famous. Together with his "Jiangnan Enterprise Group", the million-dollar "An Yi Education Foundation" and two newly established colleges, they have become the focus of national attention. For the first time, An Yi
Taking advantage of his existing popularity and influence, he cleverly tied his company and school together to promote it to the whole society. The sensational effect it caused and the positive reviews he received far exceeded his expectations. Major newspapers and magazines across the country sent dispatches one after another.
The reporter rushed to Nanchang and conducted a series of interviews and reports on An Yi and his companies. Talents and young students from all over the country flocked to Nanchang. Long queues formed in front of the recruitment points, and young people gathered at the entrance of the military recruitment office.
The crowd was so crowded that An Yi and his brothers laughed from ear to ear. The old man said with emotion that he even saved money to continue advertising.
Zhou Chongan and his new assistant Le Cheng, who had just returned from studying in the United States, stood under the autumn sun on the east bank of Chengbi Lake, looking at the office building covering an area of 2,500 square meters that had been built to the second floor, and at the piles of piles on the construction site.
Steel, cement, and sweat-prone builders made this erudite, wise, and strange-looking talented man feel ups and downs and filled with emotions. He would never forget the night when he returned home to Shanghai a month ago, and what he had just said in Nanchang a few days ago.
An Yi suddenly appeared in front of the extremely disappointed Zhou Chong'an. An Yi shut the two personal guards out, pulled up a stool and sat in front of the surprised but uneasy Zhou Chong'an as if he were entering his own home, staring coldly with his unique domineering attitude.
Looking into Zhou Chongan's eyes, until Zhou Chongan no longer dared to look at him, he told Zhou Chongan's detailed family background and experiences one by one, and then used very harsh words to completely destroy Zhou Chongan's literary temperament and dignity, and finally left a sentence
Then he turned around and left: I will stay in the newspaper preparation office at No. 198 Father Jin Road tonight, and I will leave Shanghai by boat at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and return to Nanchang.
At eleven o'clock that night, Zhou Chongan, who was full of excitement, entered the baroque-style three-story building on Father Jin Road. An Yi, who went downstairs to open the door in person, put his arm around his shoulders and laughed heartily. After going upstairs, An Yi brewed it with his own hands.
With a pot of fragrant coffee, the two sat on the luxurious and comfortable leather sofa and started talking all night long.
It was not until eight o'clock the next morning that Zhou Chong'an hurried back home in the newly purchased car of the soon-to-be-established newspaper office. He packed his luggage and rushed to the dock with An Yi. After boarding the ship, their interest did not diminish and they continued to talk secretly.
When talking about Changbei Wharf in Nanchang, I never feel tired.
Since then, Zhou Chongan, the former reporter of Shenbao, has become the general manager of "Jiangnan Enterprise Group" and the executive director of the nine-person board of directors composed of Kong Xiangxi, Ou Yaoting and An Yi. Under the command of the highly respected chairman of the board of directors, Lao Shoudao,
Fully manage an increasingly large corporate group.
Three days later, Zhou Chongan learned that An Yi's partners were so powerful, and that 40% of the shares of the grain, oil and food factory that had started trial production of military compressed biscuits and were installing two canning production lines actually belonged to two well-known companies in the revolutionary army.
Lieutenant Generals: One is Yu Feipeng, who is still serving as the munitions minister of the Military Commission of the Ninghan Convergence Government, and the other is Jiang Dingwen, who has just been promoted to deputy commander of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army!
Zhou Chongan moved into Building 7 and had his own special car, full-time driver and personal guard. An Yi gave Zhou Chongan great trust and never interfered with Zhou Chongan's daily management work. He let him recruit people to form his own management team and actively
Cooperated with Zhou Chongan to formulate a complete set of enterprise management systems and personnel assessment systems, and from time to time put forward very insightful enterprise management suggestions that were refreshing and beneficial to Zhou Chongan.
Zhou Chongan quickly entered the role. Within half a month, he won unanimous praise and respect from Lao Shoudao and other elders with his profound knowledge, rigorous style and diligent and efficient performance.
During this time when meetings were needed to discuss decisions, he rarely stayed in the temporary general manager's office in Building 7. He frequently appeared in various factories, workshops, docks, transportation companies and construction sites.
There is only one place in the entire enterprise group that is not under his control, and that is the extremely confidential arsenal that Lao Shoudao is personally responsible for. However, even though this important department does not fall under Zhou Chongan's jurisdiction, An Yi still truthfully explained to him and
I personally took him into the production base that was being secretly built by the brothers of the newly formed engineering battalion, into the production and research and development workshop hidden deep in the mountain, and allowed him to see the weapons production situation that he had never seen before.
An Yi's trust made Zhou Chong'an extremely grateful. An Yi's mechanical knowledge, arsenal's manufacturing technology and lofty development goals also shocked Zhou Chong'an. He knew very well what he saw and knew that the burden on him was heavier.
The European-style five-story building and two three-story annex buildings under construction will become the tallest landmark buildings in old Nanchang. The first and second floors of the building are department stores, and the third to fifth floors are hotel rooms. It is three meters away from the construction building.
The 15-meter annex building whose foundation is being poured is Zhou Chongan's future office building. All management departments of the enterprise group will be concentrated in this annex building.
What Zhou Chongan finds very interesting at this moment is that Zheng Jinglun, a Guangdong engineer from the Shanghai Yuanheng Construction Company who built these three buildings, has become an eager target for An Yi. Zhou Chongan and this man graduated from a prestigious British university with a major in architecture.
After several contacts with the Guangdong talented man with five years of experience in design and construction, he had to admire An Yi's vision of people, and took over An Yi's task and began to lobby Zheng Jinglun.
Another important reason is that Zhou Chongan's newly listed "Jiangnan Construction Company" has recruited more than 500 stonemasons, masons and able-bodied workers. What it lacks is those who have professional skills and can take on high-rise buildings and roads.
Engineers in bridge surveying and design, and now more than 500 workers of the construction company are building the three-row, two-story college building of "Jiangnan Institute of Technology" and several sports fields in the north of the residential area in the west of the city. The teaching building with more stringent requirements has not yet been designed.
, so An Yi seemed very anxious and said to Zhou Chongan twice:
More than thirty teachers hired from the United States, Germany and Belarusian middle schools living in Shanghai will arrive within a month. Teachers poached from various universities in the country have also been recruited. If the school cannot be built before the Spring Festival,
Too embarrassed to see anyone.
Zheng Jinglun, who is relatively thin, is only about 1.65 meters tall. On his head is a rattan safety helmet just produced by the rattan weaving workshop of the hardware factory. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face and a slightly aquiline-shaped high nose.
It was a big, well-defined mouth. When he saw Zhou Chongan arriving, he quickly put down the drawings, briefly explained a few words to the two assistants, stepped over a pile of imported rebar, came to Zhou Chongan to say hello, and declined the cigarettes offered by Zhou Chongan.
, asked with a smile:
"Brother Zhou comes here every day and doesn't worry about his expensive suit being difficult to wash?"
Zhou Chongan shook his head and smiled: "How could it be? Compared to you, I feel comfortable. Brother Jinglun, have you considered our commission?"
Zheng Jinglun nodded solemnly: "I have been thinking about it these past few days. It is not easy! According to the requirements, the college's teaching building must have distinctive features. However, the construction period is only more than four months, so we can only choose a three-story building.
If the design plan must maintain the characteristics of European-style architecture, it will be difficult to complete within half a year. Therefore, I have been hesitant and dare not take on this design task."
"Brother Jinglun, do you have any good suggestions?"
The shrewd Zhou Chongan seemed to have seen something in Zheng Jinglun's eyes.
Zheng Jinglun thought for a moment, raised his head and replied: "If we adopt an architectural style that combines Chinese and Western styles, replace carefully crafted decorations with clean and concise shapes, and replace Western-style towers and decorative parts with double-eaves roofs, we can still complete it on schedule.
If it can be decided, it will be necessary to make some modifications to the school buildings under construction, otherwise the entire campus will be very uncoordinated after it is completed. I took a look yesterday afternoon and found that the construction progress is very fast. If I don't decide, wait until those school buildings are capped.
It’s too late to change.”
Zhou Chongan thought for a while, then turned around and asked: "Brother Jinglun, how about you be solely responsible for the design and planning of the entire campus building?"
Zheng Jinglun was stunned for a moment and waved his hands repeatedly: "How can I have such a level? Haha, aren't there a few Belarusian engineers who are fully responsible? They are enough. Although those Belarusians are more old-fashioned, they are still very capable.
I talked with them for more than an hour, and I can see that they are very experienced and dedicated."
"Brother Jinglun, how about you lead them?"
Zhou Chongan suddenly said this, and when he saw Zheng Jinglun looking at him blankly, he immediately looked into his eyes with deep meaning: "As far as I know, brother Jinglun did not get the recognition he deserved during his four years in Yuanheng, and he still gets it today.
Without a share of the company and a job promotion, even though the team you lead is the most dedicated and hard-working, you will receive the lowest remuneration, which is very unreasonable.
If Brother Jinglun thinks highly of our Jiangnan Group, I would like to recommend Brother Jinglun to the board of directors as the manager and chief designer of the construction company, and suggest that the board of directors give Brother Jinglun 5% of the shares of the construction company.
Brother Jinglun should see that in the next few years, Jiangnan Group will invest heavily in infrastructure construction. Buildings, factories, and residential areas are being planned, which will definitely allow Brother Jinglun to use his talents and engrave his name on
On top of the cornerstones of iconic buildings!
The younger brother and other directors on the board of directors admire Brother Jinglun’s talent, personality and professionalism very much. They very much hope that Brother Jinglun can join and become a member of Jiangnan Group. This is my sincere suggestion, and it is also the recommendation of General An Yi and all the directors of the board of directors.
I kindly ask Brother Jinglun to consider your expectations. I still have some matters to deal with, so I won’t disturb Brother Jinglun. How about I treat Brother Jinglun to a drink tonight?”
Zheng Jinglun lowered his head to think for a moment, then raised his head and smiled slightly: "The dishes of the old Sichuan restaurant in Huxi are good, and I heard that they have also started selling foreign wine. Let me treat Brother Zhou to a drunken meal tonight!"
"Haha! It's a deal!" Zhou Chongan stretched out his hand.
Zheng Jinglun held Zhou Chongan's hand tightly and smiled knowingly: "It's a deal!"
Satisfied, Zhou Chongan led his assistant through the small garden by the lake, passed through the gate of the recruiting office compound, and came to the non-commissioned officer base. He showed the special pass to the sentry guarding the gate to gain entry. After the two entered the gate, they were immediately greeted by the high platform in the center of the school field on the left.
Attracted by the fierce fighting, at least 3,000 officers and soldiers were sitting around the high platform in darkness, exclaiming and cheering from time to time.
Zhou Chong'an walked behind a battalion of officers and soldiers who were sitting neatly on the east side of the high platform, and whispered a few words to a major who came up to him. The major immediately ran to An Yi, who was directly in front of the high platform, and reported in a low voice.
An Yi, who was wearing a dark blue scholar's robe, quickly came to Zhou Chongan's side. No matter how he looked at it, Zhou Chongan felt that An Yi's dress was nondescript and incompatible with the officers and soldiers wearing new black military uniforms. He couldn't help but look at the spring breeze on his face.
An Yi whispered: "Why do you always wear these clothes recently? It feels awkward no matter how you look at it."
An Yi shrugged and said with self-mockery: "I have been expelled from the military and the party. I am a civilian through and through. What can I wear if I don't wear this? Besides, I don't always wear this kind of clothes. I have four of the same clothes."
, I change my clothes every day, how could it be so unbearable as you said?"
Le Cheng on the side couldn't help laughing. Zhou Chongan shook his head and looked at the high platform where the winner and loser were decided: "What are you doing?"
"For the military selection, Lao Ding and the others are going to select another 150 people from more than 3,000 brothers. Xia Jian's Fengcheng garrison has also sent more than 100 people to compete."
After An Yi explained, he then asked: "You came to me in such a hurry, there must be something urgent, right?"
"Brother Jinglun invited me to drink at Lao Hantou's tavern tonight." Zhou Chongan said and blinked.
An Yi was overjoyed: "It's done?"
"I guess it worked. I originally invited him, but Brother Jinglun said he did." Zhou Chongan explained easily.
An Yi's face was full of excitement: "Don't invite any of you, I will invite you tonight, haha!"
