Chapter 544: When writing articles, you need to be down-to-earth
The phenomenon of retired workers' re-employment at Factory 506 inspired the thinking of Peking University economics students such as Zhen Rongrong and Chen Xiaoling.
Unlike Li Ye who came to Factory 506 for a visit, Zhen Rongrong and others came here for real social practice.
After a while, Zhen Rongrong's notebook was filled with lines of questions and thoughts.
[The development of the free economy, its impact on the planned economy - fifty-year-old retirees, driven by the money of the free economy, have regained their vitality, and their economic value has been squeezed out again.]
So to whom should these economic values belong? Should they belong to the original planned economy units that trained the workers?
Or does it belong to the workers themselves, or to the free economy that has once again stimulated the workers' enthusiasm for work? 】
[Is the private economy's absorption of retirees into re-employment a hidden loss of state-owned assets? ]
Li Ye secretly glanced at Zhen Rongrong's notes, then smiled and said, "Hey, Class Leader Zhen, are you going to study abroad at Lighthouse with a research project? Your project is quite big, enough for you to study at Lighthouse for several years."
The number of students who will study abroad in the 82 World Economics major this year has been confirmed, and there are only two of them in total.
Compared with Sun Xianjin who went to Moscow State University in the Soviet Union, Zhen Rongrong, who got the opportunity to study abroad at Lighthouse, is undoubtedly the object of everyone's envy.
However, Zhen Rongrong's victory was undisputed. After all, whether analyzing from the aspects of academic performance, ideology and morality, and determination, she was the most competitive candidate.
Zhen Rongrong glanced at Li Ye, writing with her pen in hand, and said, "It's as easy for you, the great talent Li, to publish papers in journals as it is for you to drink water. How about we work together to write a related paper, and I can also take advantage of your fame?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know how to explain this topic clearly. Let's wait a few years before trying it again!"
Li Ye was telling the truth. The issue of privatization of state-owned assets under the impact of the free economy has been hotly debated in recent years. The disputes caused by this may be big or small, so it is better to wait a few years before making a summary.
"Li Ye, I find that you are becoming more and more sophisticated. Where did the high-spirited you go?"
Zhen Rongrong couldn't stand Li Ye's evasive attitude, so she closed her notebook and argued with him.
But Li Ye changed the subject and said, "Actually, what I mean is that we come to social practice not to explore such high-level problems, but should pay more attention to the small things around us.
Think about it, when we are assigned to a unit in the future, do we need to explain this kind of consciousness to our colleagues? Do we need to talk to our superiors and colleagues about the world situation? "
"I think it is definitely not necessary, and the company will not give us the opportunity to speak eloquently."
Li Ye looked at several classmates coming over and said honestly: "In fact, we still need to pay attention to some specific and subtle things.
For example, what are the needs and aspirations of the employees of the original joint venture unit of Factory 506? When their satisfaction reaches a certain level, can the enterprise's transformation be smoothly implemented?
What difficulties does the enterprise have? What does the enterprise need? What gains and losses have they made after the joint venture? Has the injection of new ideas improved the competitiveness of the enterprise in the market?
I think that when you start working, the first tasks you will encounter are these small, concrete things. When your boss asks you what you think about a certain company's problems, will you tell him whether it is capitalist or socialist? "
"So, unless you are in a very high position, you will be qualified to express your own views on the conflict between reform and conservatism. Otherwise, it will only make people feel empty."
Zhen Rongrong's notebook was already open, and she quickly wrote down Li Ye's suggestions in beautiful penmanship.
Everyone understands what is in the textbooks, and can write a paper in a fancy way to sound serious. But when it comes to actually starting work, how much of the ideas and laws in the books can be applied?
Seeing that Zhen Rongrong was teachable, Li Ye said to her, "Go talk to the workers and their families first, then interview the factory managers, and then use the theories in the book to write an economic paper that the leaders can understand."
"What does it mean to make the leader understand?"
"Ahem~"
Li Ye smiled and said, "What I mean is that in the future, the suggestions you write to your leaders must be down-to-earth and not be so vague that others can't understand them."
“.”
Zhen Rongrong seemed to understand and wanted to ask Li Ye for more information, but Li Ye had already gathered together with a group of old employees and started a casual interview.
"Uncle, we are here from Peking University to study economics and do social practice. Can you tell us how you have been doing recently?"
"You're studying economics at Peking University? Then why are you asking us about our daily lives?"
"We must pay equal attention to both the economy and people's livelihood! People's livelihood issues are closely related to economic issues. The quality of the economy also affects the quality of people's livelihood."
"Hey, classmate, what you said is quite interesting. Let me tell you! Nowadays, people's lives are either good or bad.
Our generation has no worries about food and clothing, but it is difficult to find jobs for our children, and the extravagance and waste of weddings are getting bigger and bigger.
A few years ago, those kids wanted sewing machines when they got married, but now they want color TVs and refrigerators. Why don’t they want a three-bedroom apartment?”
"Okay, okay, aren't we all doing this for the children? If it weren't for the children, who would be willing to go back to work? Who wouldn't want to lie down at home? And now, she's here and she's even disgusted with me.
I am a driver! How dare you say I am not a technician? Screw that!"
“.”
Zhen Rongrong and others followed suit and started chatting with the enthusiastic uncles and aunts, and they all had pleasant gains.
These Beijingers are born talkative, and many of their "down-to-earth" topics are things that Zhen Rongrong and others would never encounter at school. If you think about them carefully, you can find that they can all be linked to the various contradictory relationships in the books.
Because of the relationship between Li Ye and Chen Donggou, Factory 506 also sent a deputy director to receive these Peking University students. He explained the current difficulties and expectations after the joint venture from the perspective of the company's leadership.
Two hours later, several students had written down a large notebook of materials, and felt that if they went back to organize them, they would become a good paper.
"I'll ask Li Ye to suggest where to submit this topic. Eh? Where's Li Ye? Why did he get distracted again?"
Everyone was happily savoring their harvest, but when they looked back, Li Ye was gone.
Zhen Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "He might have gone to look for the two new researchers! They seemed to be from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They knew each other before."
Chen Xiaoling asked curiously, "How come Li Ye knows people from everywhere? We are all students in the same class, so why are they so different?"
“Heh~”
Zhen Rongrong chuckled and said with a far-sighted look, "Haven't you noticed yet? He doesn't look like a student."
. . . . . . . .
Li Ye had indeed met Master Ni.
Master Ni and his assistant went into the office building to handle the transfer procedures. They came out nearly two hours later and met Li Ye at the door.
Li Ye saw that Master Ni and Xiao Yu were both very happy, so he asked with a smile: "Engineer Ni, judging from your expression, the treatment in this company is okay?"
Master Ni hadn't said anything yet, but the excited Xiao Yu spoke first. He was a straightforward person, and his mood had been very up and down today, so he couldn't hold back his words all of a sudden.
"What do you mean by 'just making do'? Mr. Li, guess how much they pay us here?"
Li Ye shook his head and smiled, "I can't guess. The salary in a joint venture is not so fixed. If you are capable, you will get a high salary. If you are not capable, they won't hire you at all."
"Brother, you are right. The more skilled you are, the higher your salary will be."
Xiao Yu held up a finger and said, "They give me this amount every month."
Li Ye was surprised and said, "Ten thousand? That's really not low. If you work for three months, you can buy a house in Tuanjiehu."
"Ten thousand? What are you thinking?" Xiao Yu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "One thousand, a thousand a month. You have been with Boss Pei for a long time, so you are really arrogant!"
"One thousand is not too high," Li Ye said seriously, "As far as I know, a foreign language translator in a joint venture earns between six hundred and eight hundred a month. You have been a researcher in the industry for many years, so giving you one thousand is a bit low."
“.”
Xiao Yu almost couldn't catch his breath, and it took him a long time to take out another set of keys.
"Little brother, look at this? Two suites of 28 square meters. And they said that when the new dormitory building is built, they will definitely give me a two-bedroom, one-living room suite.
I am confused. Am I working for Factory 506 or am I working for the capitalists?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "You can ask Engineer Ni about the treatment of technicians like you overseas. How big is the gap compared to ordinary workers?"
Xiao Yu is a straightforward person, and he actually turned his head to look at Master Ni.
Master Ni said helplessly: "Overseas is overseas, and the mainland is the mainland. Xiaoyu, don't tell everyone that you have a high salary. It will only cause gossip. You should just be happy with the money."
But Xiao Yu said, "I am secretly happy with the money, but what about you? You also secretly hide the car that the company allocated to you? Can you hide it? Take out the key and open this little brother's eyes."
Li Ye looked at Master Ni, who had no choice but to smile and take out a car key: "After we started working today, the company directly gave me a car, saying that our technical staff often work overtime and it would be convenient for us to go home at night."
Li Ye smiled and shook his head: "It's just a Santana, Mr. Ni, why are you embarrassed? You have earned an annual salary overseas, so it's not too much for you to drive a Mercedes, right?"
“.”
Master Ni smiled awkwardly and didn't respond, but Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, yes! Old Ni, you have driven a car overseas, right? Let's go back to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Didn’t the Hong Kong representative ask us to help set up a technical team and recommend suitable technical personnel to join the company? I think Xiao Zheng is a good choice! Let’s go ask him and see if he is willing to come.”
Master Ni said quickly, "It's fine if Xiao Zheng doesn't come. Don't provoke them again. We can ask colleagues from other institutes some other time."
It turned out that during the onboarding process, the Hong Kong capital representative gave Mr. Ni the authority to form a technical team, asked him and Xiao Yu to "recommend" researchers to join the company, and also gave them a large sum of "reception fees" in advance.
Is this the reception fee? Is this the activity fee? This is encouraging him to spend money to poach people!
However, Mr. Ni is definitely willing to form his own technical team. He has just arrived at a new unit, and it is important for him to establish his authority. He knows the people he chooses, and it will definitely be more effective.
As soon as Xiao Yu went out, he recommended several capable researchers to Mr. Ni, and Mr. Ni did plan to visit them as soon as possible, but do you think it would be interesting to look for Xiao Zheng now?
But Xiao Yu was not willing to give in: "You have to ask whether Xiao Zheng is coming or not. Besides, I left in a hurry the day before yesterday. I left something very important there. Can you accompany me to get it?"
Master Ni was completely speechless.
Are you going back to get something? You're obviously going back to show off, right?
Seeing that Master Ni was not leaving, Xiao Yu said unhappily, "Come on! Didn't you brag to us that you bought a second-hand Toyota overseas for 800 foreign currency and it drives great, so why can't you just give me a ride today?"
Master Ni had no choice but to say: "My driver's license is from overseas, not from the mainland. When they gave me the keys, they also told me that I can't drive if I'm drunk or without a license. I have to take the mainland license test first."
“.”
Technical staff just like to be serious. Although there are many people driving without a license nowadays, Master Ni said that he does not have a license, and Xiao Yu can't do anything about it.
But at this moment, how could Li Ye not add fuel to the fire?
So he immediately said to Chen Ergou in the distance: "General Manager Chen, Chief Engineer Ni is still in need of a driver!"
Chen Ergou was arranging reemployment for a group of employees. After hearing Li Ye's words, he reacted very quickly. He picked up the microphone and shouted at the people in the yard.
"Who said he was the driver just now? Has he left? We are short of a driver now."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not leaving, I'm here!"
The old driver who was squatting in the yard and chatting with a group of old colleagues suddenly ran over. Looking at his fast legs, it would be a pity to retire like this.
While Master Ni was still in a daze, Xiao Yu had already snatched his car keys and handed them to the driver.
"I was just assigned by the factory. This is Santana. Does the master know me?"
"Yes, I came to the company just now to check it out. They just added two new cars and they are parked over there!"
The driver quickly took the key from Mr. Ni and drove the new car over in two minutes, even opening the door for him.
“.”
Li Ye couldn't help but complain in his heart, did this retired driver used to drive for the former leader?
Xiao Yu excitedly pulled Master Ni into the car.
"Master, please go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I left some stuff at my old workplace. There aren't many things. I'll go in and take a look around and then we'll leave."
"Okay! Let's go back to our original unit, right? Hey, comrade, what's your name? Okay, okay, Mr. Yu, when you need to move something, just tell me to do it. Don't do it yourself, or I won't treat you as a leader."
“.”
Master Ni was even more speechless.
The drivers all know that they go back to their original units just to show off, what's wrong with you?
But, why am I still secretly looking forward to it?
