1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 152 It’s none of my business!

Although the office space of the business management research group is quite large, its layout is quite peculiar.

To put it simply, all the re-employed employees of Xintai Company are located on the third floor, while those interns who were transferred and transferred here are all on the second floor.

Although there are many empty offices on each floor now, there are still more than enough rooms even if two groups of people are combined on one floor, but this is the layout of the research team.

………………

Old Chen walked into the second office on the left on the third floor carrying a briefcase, then sat on a chair and quietly watched Old Bao count the various invoices on a table.

This pile of invoices mainly includes invoices for the purchase of office supplies and consumables, rent and decoration invoices, as well as invoices for travel expenses and food reimbursement.

That's right.

The thickest and most important invoice is actually the stack of invoices for travel expenses and food reimbursement.

All the rehired employees of Xintai Company on the third floor have been sent out to various units for inspection in the past few days, and if nothing unexpected happens, this inspection work will continue until the end of the project.

Although the rent and office supplies purchases are huge amounts, they are all one-time, so the invoices generated are only a few. However, with dozens of people going out for inspections every day, the expenses and corresponding invoices and subsidies generated are endless.

After Lao Bao sorted all the invoices into different file bags, Lao Chen handed him a cigarette and said, "Lao Bao, tell Luo Yun and the others to stop running into the company all day long. The county is so big, isn't it enough for them to visit?"

Hearing this, Lao Bao laughed and scolded: "These guys, if they don't eat enough chili, they will die... Forget it, I'll talk to Lao Liu and then add some budget and hire a chef to cook here!"

After cursing, he nodded, indicating that he would talk about this issue later.

Although it is not a particularly rare thing for employees who are supposed to be investigating and researching other units to suddenly appear in the drilling company, it is a bit unreasonable if they are always encountered by other people they know.

Although these employees rehired from Xintai Company are "sensible", it is understandable that they can't help but run back to the company every now and then to get some chili due to the huge dietary differences between the north and the south.

As for why all the rehired employees on the third floor were sent out to do research, but were still spotted in the drilling company’s restaurant from time to time... guess?
Hearing that Lao Bao was planning to cook here, Lao Chen nodded, thinking that this was a good idea, and then shook off the ashes of his cigarette: "Lao Bao, it's not a good idea for all the young people on the second floor to just sit there doing nothing. It's not a big deal to spend real money on water, electricity and wages, but it's not appropriate to just do nothing like this."

Lao Bao was extremely impatient with the group of little guys who needed real money to pay them full wages, so he waved his hand and said, "Then find them something to do!"

Old Chen blinked his eyes: "Then find something for him to do... I just don't know what to do for them, so I came to you!"

If nothing unexpected happens, the investigation report of the rehired employees on the third floor will not be submitted in written form until a long time later... and even if there is an investigation report, the sample size will definitely not be large.

Although neither Liu Jiyou nor Wang Xiaoguang, who are the team leaders or deputy team leaders, cares whether the rookies have work to do, you still have to be on guard in case the company leaders suddenly get the urge to conduct a surprise inspection one day.

After thinking for a long time without any result, Lao Bao simply waved his hand and said, "Since we don't know what work to assign to them, let them figure out what they should do now!"

Let those newbies figure out what they should do now?
Old Chen looked at Old Bao in astonishment...Are you sure you are not kidding?

Seeing this, Lao Bao smiled smugly: "Lao Liu said that since we are a research group on enterprise management, we should carry out our work from multiple angles... Like now, everyone can't find a direction, so mobilizing the power of employees to work together to overcome difficulties, can't this also be one of the research topics?"

Upon hearing this, Old Chen opened his mouth widely, and then gave a thumbs up with admiration: "As expected, you are the deputy director of the General Affairs Department of Xintai Company. I admire you!"

………………

Half an hour later.

A bunch of rookies looked at Lao Chen in amazement.

"Let us study what we should do?... Director Chen, this, this...?" Li Ming felt that his three views were refreshed.

"Yeah, how do we study this thing?" Zhang Bo said in a muffled voice. Out of respect for his leader, although his face was full of confusion, he had no intention of complaining.

Old Chen's face turned pale. "What are we? ... We are a research group on enterprise management! A research organization. Don't bring the fixed ideas from the production unit here!"

"Since you are already a team member and you are all college students with higher education, you should give full play to the knowledge you have learned... Use your brain more, give full play to your subjective initiative, and don't ask the leader for everything!"

………………

five minutes later.

As soon as Lao Chen left, a group of rookies gathered around him.

"What should we do now?"

"I studied metallurgy in college, and I don't know anything about business management!"

"Yes, yes, I majored in history and I don't understand this either!"

"Subjective initiative... How can we exercise our subjective initiative when we are completely in the dark?"

After arguing for a long time and getting nothing, a young man sighed: "Forget it, the leader has made arrangements, what can you do? Anyway, find a way to take the first step!"

Another young man rolled his eyes: "How do we take the first step? The biggest problem now is that we don't know how to take the first step!"

Li Ming smacked his lips and said in a sarcastic tone: "You can't ask us to jointly draft a document called "How should we take the first step now?"

Zhang Bo scratched his head and said, "Eh? It seems like it could work... How about we give it a try?" Everyone stared at him, which made him feel uneasy. "But, but what else can we do now besides studying this problem?"

Hearing this, everyone sighed in unison: "That's right... OK, let's have a meeting to discuss it. Since the leader has made the arrangements, we have to do it."

Two hours later.

Lao Bao and Lao Chen watched the rookies discussing issues through the windows and doors, and nodded with satisfaction: "These guys finally have something to do, and it's a good start... Even if the leaders come for a surprise inspection now, we can handle it!"

………………

the next day.

"New Employees' Self-awareness"
From work mentality to behavioral norms management,
"Some thoughts on the coordination and function allocation of a new team";
"On team communication and work development in a confused state";
……

Liu Jiyou looked at the reports on the desk that were extremely naive but full of wild and creative ideas that the rookies had discussed and summarized. He rubbed his chin with interest and said, "Heh~ Yesterday Director Xie asked me how the work here was going. I was originally worried about how to make the report..."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, then knocked on the table and said, "I have an idea for our next stage of work... Let these college students study how to manage new employees!"

To study how to manage new employees?

Lao Bao and Lao Chen looked at each other in bewilderment. Every company has its own rules and regulations, management processes and new employee training system. You let these rookies sit in the office and study...how to manage new employees?

Liu Jiyou laughed: "Aren't all units now constantly reorganizing and building new ones under the coordination of our company? The completion of any reorganization and the establishment of any new project means that those employees will enter a brand new unit and a completely unfamiliar environment... From this perspective, they are also newcomers!"

"Since it is a new unit, it should have a new look. Not only will the business be adjusted, but the management system should also be different from before."

As he spoke, Liu Jiyou patted the documents and said with a smile: "Attendance, safety, mental outlook, hygiene standards, daily life... and so on and so forth;"

"Each item needs to have a system, and then a set of implementation standards and assessment rules... Haha, if this is the case, won't the research topics be more diverse?"

Lao Bao took a breath with some pain in his teeth: "So much work, so many rules... can these little guys handle it?"

Liu Jiyou glared at him in frustration and said, "Since this is a new research topic, the most important thing is the word 'new'. If you let those experienced employees do this, they will not be able to achieve results in front of the leaders!"

"Hehe, they are all newcomers, so you should understand the mentality of newcomers the best!"

"Let them work in pairs in the office to draft a draft. Once the draft is ready, let them go to the cooperative units to conduct field research, and then come back to revise the draft.

"After the initial proposal is revised, we will place them in the newly reorganized units according to the cross-cutting principle to conduct field research, and then return to revise the initial proposal;"

"After revising the initial draft, merge the teams and compile the first version of the management manual. Then give them the title of team leader and have them conduct experiments in several new projects and collect data. "

"By the time……"

Lao Bao immediately responded: "Then we can cross-summarize them into several management plans, and then have these people grouped into new projects to experiment with the new plans!"

"We can cross-cross and cross-cross again, and experiment and experiment again. In this way, no matter when the leaders come to inspect or ask questions, we will have new results to report and new achievements for others to see. We can even start to apply some research results... and the funds on our side can be allocated again and again, for generations to come!"

"Hehe, Lao Liu, you really are worthy of being the backbone of the Asset Management Department... Your endless methods of recruiting students are brilliant!"

Liu Jiyou took out a cigarette and lit it up with some pride: "Wang Yangming studied the study of things... What we are doing is even higher than his... It's called self-discipline!"

"Anyone who has worked in a department for a few years will know that management is both a science and a philosophy... Hehe, if we approach the research topic of corporate management from a philosophical perspective, no one can say no, right?"

The word "self-discipline" was brought up by Wang Yinuo at a summary meeting three years ago after he inspected the work of their asset management department. Liu Jiyou had a deep memory of it, so he just applied it this time... Before the mid-1990s, domestic companies did not follow the Western approach when talking about management. In addition to applying famous quotes from the Little Red Book, their favorite thing to do was to quote philosophical thinking from traditional classics.

But since the purpose of this matter is to fool Xie Hui, it is better not to use the words "self-discipline"... This guy has been Wang Yinuo's secretary for more than three years, and President Wang must have mentioned this aspect many times. It will be troublesome if he misunderstands.

After thinking about it, Liu Jiyou shook his head and said, "It's not a good word to use 'self-discipline'... Let's just call it [spontaneous self-management]. Nowadays, the work attitude of many state-owned enterprise employees is a bit lazy, which is completely inconsistent with their identity as the protagonist... If I use this name, I guarantee that the leaders will be interested!"

Lao Bao and Lao Chen were impressed when they heard this: "What a great name! As soon as we heard the name, we knew that it was studying how to awaken the protagonist spirit and work enthusiasm of employees... Just based on this name, it is worth the additional investment of 200 million!"

Seeing this, Liu Jiyou smiled even more proudly, as if he saw that another 200 million investment amount would be transferred to the research group's account soon, and he had no worries about being exposed at all.

Again, if you are not in this system, you will never know how powerful "correct positioning" is at this historical juncture.

Regardless of whether this so-called research project is essentially intended to fool people, once it is directly linked to the words "inspiring the protagonist spirit of employees" and formed into a report document, even Wang Yinuo would never dare to easily deny this project... With the arrival of the economic winter, the left/right and south/north disputes have become increasingly fierce. On such matters, the position of state-owned enterprises has almost been locked.

This shows how important it is to give a project plan a good name.

As for whether this kind of poaching would make Vice President Tang, who was already somewhat passive, even more passive...

Please, isn't there the tall guy Xie Hui who is in charge of the market management research project standing in front? As long as there are results over there, it will be fine even if we hand in a pile of waste paper here.

If there is no result in the end...

Ha ha,

He is not a direct subordinate of Vice President Tang, and he is separated from Vice President Feng by the relationship with Section Chief Xiang.
The PK between the top leaders has nothing to do with a small pawn like him!
