Chapter 244: Nothing is approved except money
Shengjing Haoyuan, Kuiguang Group.
Today is the day for outstanding students to join the company.
Yang Ruoqian is now perfecting the last step of his arrangement.
In fact, Mr. Yang had been struggling for a while about how to properly place this group of talents in order to maximize the loss-making effect.
Distribute it to different departments of the group?
Not really.
Now that other projects are relatively mature and have stable structures, adding a few talented people will not only fail to harm the herd, but on the contrary may be assimilated by the old employees.
To take a step back, even if their abilities are so poor that they drag the company down, the destructive power of a few small employees on the project is so small that it can be ignored. At most, they are just a bunch of idlers who are just drawing a salary without doing anything.
With the current financial resources of the Kuiguang Group, the empty salaries of a dozen idlers are simply insignificant. Even if they are paid at the maximum standard, the negative contribution to the third quarter will be basically zero.
When they gather together, they are a bunch of stars; when they scatter, they are a sky full of shit…
We still have to come together to play a significant role.
Then just pack up these junior students and find a most profitable cancer project to pack them in? That's not a good idea either.
In a mature project, both senior and middle-level leaders have sufficient prestige. A dozen people may sound impressive, but it may not be able to make any waves in front of so many veterans with both achievements and qualifications.
Most of the dozen or so students are pure and clean at heart and have strong plasticity, so we cannot easily expect them to learn from the old employees.
After thinking it over and over again, Yang Ruoqian suddenly came up with a very creative idea.
Give these junior students a new project to work on!
But unlike previous projects, Yang Ruoqian has learned from countless lessons and plans to make some changes to this project.
A year ago, the naive Mr. Yang thought that as long as he set a wrong general direction and then found a bunch of inexperienced employees to follow this direction, he could achieve the goal of losing money.
During this period, Mr. Yang, who was full of confidence in the general direction, gave his employees the green light everywhere, providing them with people and money, and whatever they wanted.
Judging from the results, this outdated and radical thinking is no longer in line with the trend of the times.
At this time, Yang Ruoqian had already formulated a new plan in his mind.
First of all, not only did this project not have a specific project establishment, it didn’t even have a general direction. When assigning tasks, they just spoke nonsense and left the employees guessing.
Even if there is no leader, the whole army will be destroyed, not to mention that now there is no leader, the project will only become more chaotic and worse.
Secondly, the levels of more than a dozen employees are all the same, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates before the project results come out.
Most of them are not familiar with each other, and this arrangement is enough to promote the traditional virtue of "three monks have no water to drink" to the greatest extent.
The first ruthless move was not enough. Mr. Yang, whose defenses had been breached by his employees many times, had already learned his lesson. This time, he not only had first and second insurances, but also an even more ingenious third insurance.
That is the constraint from the group, or more precisely, from Yang Ruoqian himself.
Once he decided on a rubbish project, he would give employees whatever they wanted and whatever help they needed...
But this time, everything is different.
Yang Ruoqian did not provide anything other than unlimited funds. Not only that, he also imposed many restrictions.
For example, projects cannot be outsourced, new employees cannot be recruited without the approval of the group headquarters, other group projects cannot be interfered with, and so on.
Nothing will be approved except money!
It's a severe choke!
The whole project must be a complete mess!
Simply put, Yang Ruoqian planned to use nonsense to create a new project for the emperor, let a group of inexperienced newcomers do this non-existent project, and did not allow them to seek any help from the outside world.
I just don't believe it! Is there anyone who can achieve results facing nothing? And most of these people are outsiders who don't know much about the entertainment industry.
It would be unfair if this kind of project could make money.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqian once again affirmed his own intelligence and wisdom - such a brilliant scheme would probably be quite explosive in any era, right? ...
"Jian Che, give me a pinch. I'm really not dreaming, am I?" Gu Yongxin, who had been playing sloppy in front of Yang Ruoqian at the gym last time, couldn't believe that she could be directly hired. "Senior Yang just waved his hand and took all of us away?"
"Is Guidong really that prestigious?"
“Is this really where we’re going to work from now on?”
Jian Che carefully looked around the office and sat down at his seat, fearing that he might accidentally break something by moving too much.
"I've said it before... We should try our best to persevere until things come to a conclusion."
"No, no, no, this is not what I'm worried about the most right now!" Gu Yongxin sat down at her workstation, looking horrified. "I did such a bad job in the interview, will the senior hold a grudge against me and assign me to sweep the floor, cook, and clean the table?"
Jian Che, who had found a job, felt relaxed for once. When he heard Gu Yongxin's frightened question, he couldn't help laughing.
Not long ago, a dozen people who were in a state of panic just entered the company. Before they could even say a few polite words, they were rushed in like ducks to sign labor contracts.
Along with the labor contract are three documents - "Employee Code of Conduct", "Ideological Guidance" and test questions based on these two documents.
Employees who fail to pass the test cannot officially participate in the work and can only be punished by taking paid tests until they pass the test and can work.
If you can't pass the exam, you will have to keep reviewing for the exam and will never be able to work.
After failing several times, the group finally passed the exam and finally sat in this spacious office.
Jian Che finished laughing and comforted her, "I think that instead of worrying about whether the leader will make things difficult for you, you might as well think seriously about what tasks he will assign to us."
"Have you seen the treatment in the contract? How difficult would the task be to deserve such treatment?"
"If we fail to complete the task, we will really be kicked out."
Gu Yongxin cheered up immediately: "That's right, the company will definitely not pay me a high salary to clean toilets, it's such a waste of money! A salary of 11,000 yuan, who can afford it!"
If you want to hire a toilet cleaner, you can get it done with a few thousand yuan, and you don’t need many benefits, so why offer a salary of tens of thousands? What does this mean? It means that the senior thinks that each of them can create at least 11,000 yuan of value for the company every month! "I'm so nervous now." A gentle boy next to him pushed his glasses and interrupted, "I actually know almost nothing about the entertainment industry. What if I accidentally mess up the job?"
"What are you afraid of? The group will definitely send a big boss to lead us. How can a group of newcomers be in charge of such an important project right after they start?"
"Yes, look at our job arrangement. Everyone is at the same level, which means that a leader will definitely come over. Otherwise, how can we assign work?"
"When the time comes, we will do whatever the boss tells us to do. Even if he is deliberately trying to embarrass me, I will accept it! With such a high salary and such good benefits, it's just a small shoe. I can accept it!"
"Hey, check out our corporate WeChat account. Our mission is here!"
The noisy people suddenly quieted down, stopped talking, took out their mobile phones, and opened the document sent by Yang Ruoqian personally with the attitude of preparing for the college entrance examination.
This is a piece of information that can determine your future life even more than the college entrance examination!
I must read it carefully before the group leader comes over.
A group of people who don't even know much about the entertainment industry suddenly come to one of the top entertainment companies in the city or even the province. Even if they don't have enough ability, they still have to get their attitude right.
Gu Yongxin, who thought he had left a very bad impression on his leader, had an extremely positive work attitude and read through the document carefully at the fastest speed.
"1. Project background and objectives. Kuiguang Group is a company specializing in entertainment business with 10 years of rich industry experience and. In order to adapt to market changes and customer needs, the company decided to launch this project, aiming to improve the work and adaptability of new employees through new methods, and achieve the dual effects of talent training and profitability."
A lot of nonsense, very good... worthy of being a big company.
Gu Yongxin complained in her heart and continued reading.
“The main objectives of this project are to complete the initial development of the project within five years, achieve self-breakeven within 10 years, and achieve profitability within 20 years.”
Seeing this, Gu Yongxin suddenly realized that there seemed to be something unreasonable in this project book.
Generally speaking, even if you want to talk nonsense, it can't be complete nonsense, right? At least the project goal must be clearly stated! For example, a specific goal such as creating an original music variety show.
Just talking about a goal of making a certain amount of money is too broad... It's better to say, which project is not established for the purpose of making money? The document sent by Yang Ruoqian is one of the top ones even in nonsense literature. After reading the whole text, there is not even a single useful information provided to the employees.
The originally lively atmosphere in the entire office suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was shocked by this project proposal which seemed unusual from the very beginning.
“Second, project organization and responsibilities.”
"This project is led by an 18-member project team. There is no project leader or project management office. The project team is responsible for its own overall coordination and self-supervision..."
"This project also set up the following subgroups or teams, each responsible for different work content..."
“3. Project progress and milestones…”
“Fourth, project risks and countermeasures…”
After reading four paragraphs of nonsense, Gu Yongxin, who had just graduated from college and was eager to start his career in society, was completely stunned.
Let’s not talk about whether a project has no leader at all and even supervision is done by self-supervision, which will cause big trouble...
There are four major paragraphs, totaling more than a thousand words, and there is no mention of any project!
What about the project? Gu Yongxin couldn't bear to watch it anymore, put down her phone, turned around and asked Jian Che: "Did you understand this project book?"
Even if a piece of air is read by countless people countless times, no one can understand it. Jian Che shook his head blankly: "I don't understand the entertainment industry. I feel that what Senior Yang wrote is too profound."
Gu Yongxin yelled in her heart - don’t say that you don’t understand the entertainment industry, even I who understand the entertainment industry didn’t understand anything!
Isn't this an entertainment industry issue? It's clearly a project book issue, okay? No, you can't think like that.
Think calmly and analyze this seemingly strange project book from different dimensions.
What level of enterprise is Kuiguang Group...how could it make such a low-level mistake?
Considering that Yang Ruoqian recruited them all into the company against everyone's expectation, and judging from the contract terms which were much better than those of ordinary companies, perhaps this project was not as simple as imagined.
There must be a deeper meaning hidden in the seemingly nonsense project book!
As long as you can interpret the deeper meaning, all problems can be solved.
Gu Yongxin calmed down and turned to ask the other people in the office: "What about you guys? Is there anyone who can understand this project book?"
This is the first project for their project team since they joined the company. If they are stumped by the project book before the project even starts, their future in the group will be worrying.
However, to her disappointment, almost everyone quickly shook their heads.
“I don’t understand!”
"I didn't understand it either... I don't know what we are supposed to do after reading it."
"Why doesn't the group send a leader?"
Gu Yongxin covered his forehead with his hands and decided to use his last big weapon - calling for help.
She copied the document several times as quickly as possible and sent them to her professor, her parents, and her classmates who were doing well elsewhere.
There is only one question: what is the hidden meaning of this project book?
Soon, the professor's reply arrived: "Who wrote it? Repeat it, it's hopeless."
Before Gu Yongxin could get confused, answers from other people came one after another.
A quick glance showed all the answers like "The Riddler get out of Gotham", "I suggest asking the person who wrote the project proposal directly", and "If you don't want to do the project, you don't have to do it".
Damn! None of them are reliable!
Aren't you guys just talking nonsense too? The off-field aid was killed before it could be accomplished, and Gu Yongxin didn't dare to ask the group. She was already a bad-tempered person, and she got angry and became more and more evil.
Since the project book doesn’t explain it clearly, I’ll just pretend that I don’t understand it and just take it at face value!
No matter what you do, as long as you can make money, even if you don’t do what your boss wants in the end, at least you haven’t made a mistake and you can at least have an explanation.
Anyway, the funding budget given in the project book is very sufficient.
But...if you want to make money, you need an insider who knows the business.
Although Gu Yongxin usually pays attention to the fan circle's dynamics and even had a painful past of chasing stars in high school, an amateur who has not learned systematically will always be an amateur. It is not possible to understand the inside story by watching a few more movies and knowing a few celebrity gossips.
So Gu Yongxin planned to first find the one who was a little more knowledgeable among these 18 classmates, and then implement the project around his plan.
In any case, there must first be a clear goal and a top decision maker.
Gu Yongxin once again looked around and asked, "Bosses, who among you knows more about the various businesses in the entertainment industry? For the sake of your future, although the company does not divide us into superiors and subordinates, I still suggest that everyone follow the people who know the business for the first project. Internal strife at this time will only harm everyone."
However, to Gu Yongxin's surprise, the classmates' expressions showed that they agreed with what she said, but none of them said a word. Instead, they stared at her blankly.
After being stared at for a long time, Gu Yongxin's scalp felt numb. After a while, he stretched out his hand in disbelief and pointed at himself.
"I?!"
No way! How can a fool like me who has no experience in anything be the most knowledgeable person here?! How can we do this project?
