Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 298 The Person Who Brings the Project Down

We've been waiting for this drama to unfold.

If he actually tried to crawl into the bag, Xing Baohua wouldn't give him any face.

Holding the microphone, he said, "Why are we against it? It's not that the factory's managers can't recommend someone, but there's a prerequisite: they must first be a newly hired employee."

Since Kong Xianling has never worked a single day in an electronics factory, any recommendation made by him is invalid.

I'd also like to mention that there are two ways to become a manager in an electronics factory: the first is through recommendation, and the second is through recruitment.

The recruited personnel are all considered specialized talents. Certain conditions need to be met, and the labor union's personnel department will finalize the relevant recruitment criteria.

Old Kong sat down, his face ashen, utterly powerless to resist. He also glared fiercely at Xing Baohua on the platform.

No matter how much he tried to cause trouble, it was no match for a single word from Xing Baohua. But he still couldn't understand why Xing Baohua was targeting him specifically, since he had basically never offended this guy.

The task assigned by my superiors was impossible to complete; it was slapped down before it even began.

This fellow then proposed establishing a Party Members Club, which would be equivalent to a Ministry of Education, and suggested that Secretary Huang, the representative of Shanggu Village and a member of the board of directors, serve as the Secretary.

This leaves Lao Kong completely out of the picture. Not only has he been stripped bare, but his next move is also uncertain.

The morning session of the factory workers' meeting focused on recommending union management personnel. The afternoon session covered the functions of the union and employee benefits.

More importantly, it needs to be made clear that an electronics factory is just a factory.

This will make it clear to everyone that the rice electronics factory is no longer a comprehensive factory.

In other words, the labor union only oversees electronics factories. It cannot interfere with companies like Dami Technology and Dami Experiments.

From now on, these three units will become independent entities, each with its own management, finance, logistics, and other functions.

Those who understand already understand. The rice is no longer the same rice as before. Sales, after-sales service, and R&D have all been separated. So, the rice electronics factory is just a pure processing plant.

But where do rice mills get their profits?

Of course, it's thanks to the orders from Dami Technology.

Dami Experiments developed a new electronic product, and Dami Technology placed an order with Dami Electronics Factory for its production!

Many people feel that the rice electronics factory, like other processing plants, is just making a living by processing.

The profit is just a small processing fee; how much can the workers actually receive from bonuses?

I thought that with rice production reaching billions or even tens of billions, even if the profit margin was only a few percent, thousands of people would make a lot of money.

Who took the big head?

Some of the scholars who came to listen to the lectures had already begun discussing with each other.

Even those who don't understand believe that rice, no matter how it's divided, is still a whole. Only with Xing Baohua around can rice be divided.

The staff meeting was successfully concluded, and of course, it made the city's news that evening.

The rice business model is just incomprehensible to people.

Why split up the family business? Why take out a factory and implement a collective system? Will it actually make money or allow for an equal distribution of wealth?

All of this needs time to prove itself.

One thing Xing Baohua is taking is that Dami Technology is his sole proprietorship.

There is no joint venture or anything like that. If Dami Technology violates regulations, Xing Baohua will immediately change his identity and come to form a joint venture using his Cayman Islands identity.

Fortunately, the experiment was being conducted above, so they didn't pay any attention to it.

As long as the company can make money, it doesn't matter; it's like the "white cat, black cat" mentality.

More importantly, everyone is feeling their way across the river by feeling for stones.

After the conference, it was already the dead of winter, and the electronics factory had already started scheduling shifts.

Chairman Xing Baohua proposed that since the production tasks are heavy, overtime should be arranged appropriately and reasonably, with double wages provided, and overtime work should be entirely voluntary.

People who are used to being poor want to earn more money, as for the New Year.

When there's money to be made, who cares about celebrating the New Year?

Besides, they're all locals, so it's not too late to visit relatives or go on your day off.

This also means that few people at rice factories treat the Lunar New Year as a holiday.

Although Xing Baohua managed to divest the assets, he still had to find a way to divest the debts as well.

Previously, loans and such were all obtained through the rice electronics factory.

If we don't divest ourselves in time, we'll still be in debt next year. And when everyone's waiting for dividends, wait a minute! Why are we even losing money?

Making billions in profits, yet still incurring losses—isn't that ridiculous?

Xing Baohua isn't that shameless; the debt will be transferred to Dami Technology. Anyway, after the New Year, after re-registration, they will recalculate with the bank.

The only problem is that the change procedures are quite complicated.

Companies like China Tobacco, railways, and petroleum pay top taxes, so why do they also have debts of billions or tens of billions?

You don't understand, do you? Even if you do understand, it's none of our business.

As the year drew to a close, Xing Baohua got up and went to the capital.

One task is to arrange the program on CCTV's side, and we also need to invite the person in charge there.

After all, we'll need to continue our advertising partnership next year.

Many people with connections sent their New Year's greetings in advance. So I had to visit the General Post Office and my own department, among others.

Upon arriving in the capital, I first called Xu Si to ask when he would be free. I brought some local specialties from my hometown as a way of wishing him an early New Year.

The local specialties aren't anything fancy, just sweet potatoes and yams from the mountains.

I don't know what the other people gave, but Xing Baohua was very honest; he said it was a local specialty and it was a local specialty.

If Xing Baohua were to send something truly special, I doubt many people would dare to accept it.

Xu Si told Xing Baohua, "Let's find a place tonight. A friend wants to introduce you to him."

"Who?" Xing Baohua asked curiously.
