Chapter 401: The Smoke and Misery

"In addition, the agreement also requires us to promise not to snatch Kyoto TV's existing advertisers. However, this condition is too overbearing. We only promised not to contact them proactively. If Kyoto TV doesn't do well and there is no effect, it doesn't count if they come to us."

An Zhixia raised her eyebrows.

Zong Yingchao also said angrily: "Of the twelve people who came here, only seven stayed! They wrote well, and Director Bai personally interviewed them and promised them high salaries and benefits, so they chose to stay."

Huang Yaru smiled and said, "All eight of us translators have joined Longteng TV, and none of us stayed. But they shouldn't be afraid, they will go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to borrow people, but our professional ability is definitely not worse than those people!

We can also open an overseas channel to give foreign friends more choices!"

It's easy to say, but it's hard to come up with an idea. After all, they spent a lot of effort to reform those channels. I don't know if they can still open the TV station before the end of the year.

An Zhiqiu handed An Zhixia a peeled and sliced apple, and took one for himself and started to bite into it.

An Zhixia broke off a petal and took a small bite. "Everyone has his own plans. We can only say that people with different plans cannot work together. From now on, you can treat Kyoto TV as your competitor.

You can compete, but you can’t lose your original intention. Otherwise, if you lose yourself, what’s the difference between you and them?”

They all nodded in agreement.

Shao Tongfeng smiled and said, "We are waiting for Teacher Xiao An to come back and be the station director!"

An Zhixia was stunned for a moment, then waved her hands and said, "I have figured it out. I am not suitable to stay in the system and be controlled by others. I am more comfortable at home. Besides, I am pregnant now, and I have to take care of the child after the birth. I am afraid I will not be free for three to five years.

Longteng TV still depends on you to support it, but I can give you some advice."

Several people suddenly felt panicked.

"Comrade Shao Tongfeng has been able to support a TV station after six months of hard work. You also have enough experience. Besides, the supply and marketing cooperative and the Friendship Store will be your strong backing, and the laying of the cable TV network will also provide a stage for your TV station to grow and develop.

Besides, you have hundreds of outstanding people in Kyoto behind you, so what are you afraid of? Roll up your sleeves and work hard, and show the organization and those who have abandoned you what kind of choice is correct and promising. "An Zhixia said with a smile.

They shuddered.

Longteng TV was kicked out of the business, but they are not without advantages. In fact, they have a high starting point and will develop faster and better in the future.

An Zhixia entered the bedroom and took out a stack of information. "This is what I left when I was selecting programs. In fact, the types of programs are not very different, but the organizational form is different. It can't be considered plagiarism of Kyoto TV."

Several people each got two or three and looked at them.

They had all been trained by An Zhixia before, and they could develop a lot of ideas just by giving them an idea. Just by looking at An Zhixia's previous manuscripts, their thinking once again broke through the original shackles and made greater progress.

"As expected of Teacher Xiao An!" Shao Tongfeng's blood boiled and his eyes were bright. "Having a military advisor like you is better than having thousands of troops! Although you are not going to join Longteng TV, there will always be a place for you in our Longteng."

The others nodded in response.

An Zhixia waved her hand, "I still stand by those eight words, never forgetting my original intention and keeping my mission in mind."

She thought about it and asked about the Maicheng Craft Factory and Zhien Education and Training Center.

Shao Tongfeng rubbed his forehead and sighed softly: "They have ruined both of these good units. The Maicheng Technology Factory has recruited a lot of family members, not only the family members of the original employees of the TV station, but also the relatives of other units.

However, the families of our new employees, especially those who are strong supporters of you, are turned away.

The result of their indiscriminate hiring is that the quality of their handicrafts varies greatly, they have no sales channels at home or abroad, they make no money at all, and the TV station has to subsidize a large part of the employees' wages every month.

Now these regular workers have been transferred to us along with the factories.

Zhien Education and Training Center has become a tool for them to show off, attracting children from well-off families in the city center and charging high fees. So if we follow the original fee standards, these students and parents will definitely not be willing to do so.”

An Zhixia frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "If Maicheng Craft Factory wants to get closer to the concept when it was first established, it must make drastic changes. The original employees can stay, but their work must be worthy of their position and salary.

In fact, these handicrafts are not difficult to make, as long as you are attentive and careful.

Although the organization has stipulated the basic wage standard, the rural areas all implement the work point system, and our factory can also learn from it. It is impossible for someone to make a handicraft in a day and get the same salary and benefits as others who work all day, right?

Lower the basic salary to only cover the most basic expenses, and then pay performance bonuses based on piecework.

No matter who is making the noise, we are right.”

Shao Tongfeng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I will write all of this into the factory rules and regulations, and then take it to the leaders for review. We can accommodate these people with connections, but they have to rely on their own efforts to earn their wages.

I see that not only will the basic salary be lowered, but it will also require a certain number of shifts per month to be paid. These conditions are easy to meet for ordinary workers, but are more demanding for people with connections who want to make money.

If they can't stand it, they can just quit, no one will stop them!"

An Zhixia continued, "Zhi En Education and Training Institute is not the palace education in feudal society, which divides the educated people into different levels. This is an institution that serves our children, but those people use it as a means to please the leaders.

This is a direct change to the original model. Anyone who has doubts about it is disobeying the organization and is creating privileges and class. If they don't want their children to study, they can find another teacher.

As for offending people, well, just tell them that Kyoto TV's transfer of the unit to Longteng means it has tacitly given up on the unit and will let Longteng make its own changes.

If they are dissatisfied, they can go find Director Bai and ask Kyoto TV to open another one."

Huang Yaru couldn't help laughing: "I think if we implement what Teacher Xiaoan said, Director Bai and his team will probably regret giving up these two units that have been tossed around in a mess.

In order to appease these people's anger, and also for the sake of their reputation and to avoid getting in trouble with us, they might have to open two new units.

After all, Kyoto TV is very wealthy and has nowhere to throw money away.”

Everyone was becoming more and more relaxed in the discussion, and all were filled with energy.

They didn't sit for long and left directly with An Zhixia's manuscript.

As a member of Longteng TV Station, An Zhiqiu started to get busy with work. Every day at noon, when he hurried back and forth to deliver meals, he would always report to her the progress of Longteng TV Station's preparations.

She would also come up with some ideas from time to time, which he would convey back to her.

Longteng TV Station was sponsored by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Friendship Store, state-owned restaurants and several manufacturers, so it had no shortage of funds and even more so of people.

Zhien Education School does not enroll many students now, so one of its buildings was requisitioned to become the studio of Longteng TV Station.

Everyone worked overtime, using An Zhixia's manuscript as the framework, and began to gradually finalize the number of TV channels, the theme of the channel, the theme content and format of the program, etc. They tried to meet everyone on New Year's Day at Longteng TV Station.

An Zhixia's belly began to swell up day by day like a balloon.

There is no regular prenatal check-up now, so she can only go to the hospital when Fang Yuan is off work and follow the instructions in the book to check each item individually, at least to check some of the contents.

Old Mrs. Jiang took her to Old Man Jiao's house and asked him to take An Zhixia's pulse.

The Jiao family didn't have messy granddaughters to hold them back, and the men devoted their energy to work. Doctors, especially those like Jiao Laoer who knew both Chinese and Western medicine, almost never retired. Instead, the older they got, the more experienced they were, and the more advanced their medical skills became, becoming the object of everyone's pursuit.
