Text Volume 046 [Selfishness]
In order to continue to study hard, make progress every day, and strive to be a young man with four talents in socialist modernization, Song Weiyang didn't want to be disturbed by others, so he asked Reporter Lu: Don't publish photos, don't use your real name.
Lu Huizhen expressed her understanding and admired Song Weiyang's character even more - what an excellent boy! To do such a big thing, but still not be dazzled by the victory, maintain a normal mind, and maintain a love of learning, it would have been showing off everywhere for others.
Since the 1980s, the government has faced the difficulties of state-owned enterprises and created several reform models.
These role models who were set up were all exhausted by the sudden huge reputation, without exception.
In 1980, Bu Xinsheng took up the post of director of a shirt factory in a county in Zhejiang Province. He immediately started to reform, and implemented a bonus system in the factory. Workers who were not diligent were deducted from wages, and even two were fired. This was an unimaginable thing in that era, because the workers were the owners of the factory, and the factory manager was not eligible to deduct wages, let alone be fired, and the factory manager could be scolded by the workers if they committed a mess.
Letters of complaints flew to counties, cities, and provinces like snowflakes, but under the leadership of Bu Xinsheng, the shirt factory became more and more prosperous.
In 1983, a long newsletter reporting Bu Xinsheng's deeds appeared on the front page of People's X Daily. This report was also included in the internal reference, and then Xinhua News Agency issued a draft to newspapers across the country, and newspapers from all over the country began to report frantically.
Large and small visiting groups and study groups poured into this factory to learn from it. Central government agencies, provinces and cities invited Bu Xinsheng to give reports one after another. He was elected as a special member of the CPPCC National Committee, and the cloth cutting scissors he used were included in the Chinese History Museum.
It seems that as long as they learn from Bu Xinsheng, state-owned enterprises can easily get out of the predicament.
From then on, Bu Xinsheng's daily task was to receive various visiting and inspection groups, and he had to go to other places to give reports every month.
Lu Guanqiu, a famous private entrepreneur, recalled later: The gravel road leading to Wuyuan Town was full of traffic and people who went to visit and study. At that time, the factory director Bu was very popular, and it was very difficult for bureau-level cadres to meet. Our car was stopped at the door. To put it bluntly, the doorman agreed to let our car drive around the factory area, so we have learned it. Under the recommendation of two reporters, Director Bu finally agreed to see us. After he spoke for 15 minutes, we withdrew, and another group of people came in from behind.
Bu Xinsheng soon drifted to outer space, and he didn't pay attention to production management, and he explained the truth to people every day. Although the sales of the shirt factory were very good because of this, he did not expand the scale steadily. Moreover, the daily hospitality expenses of the shirt factory are astronomical, and a good factory is going to decline like this.
There have been several such examples.
Therefore, Lu Huizhen admired Song Weiyang's low profile very much, and immediately agreed not to publish photos, nor to use Song Weiyang's real name, so that he could continue to develop the company with peace of mind.
Originally planned to rush back to the provincial capital overnight, but Lu Huizhen chose to stay, and she had to interview the workers in the canning factory.
The workers said Mr. Xiao Song said one by one, which made Lu Huizhen feel Song Weiyang's personal charm more intuitively. At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of Duke car and the Taiwanese businessman Boss Zheng who came to invest repeatedly appeared in the workers' mouths, which made Lu Huizhen very puzzled.
Song Weiyang explained with a smile: The Duke car was rented, and the Taiwanese businessman was also invited by me to appease the creditor. Otherwise, given the situation of the cannery at that time, it would have been impossible to restart work. I am a liar. Do you want to keep reporting?
Pretend I didn't ask. Lu Huizhen immediately shut up.
If Lu Huizhen wants to get rid of the hat of an intern reporter and become a regular, she must give a report with a sensational effect. Liars are easy to cause controversy, and there is no need to add extra details. It is more in the interests of each other to create a perfect business legend.
The moment Lu Huizhen and Song Weiyang decided to report on Song Weiyang's deeds, they had formed a community of interests.
Back at the newspaper office, Lu Huizhen spent two days writing a long newsletter of more than 5,000 words: The Business Legend of a Seventeen-Year-Old Boy——Records of Xifeng's Best-selling Canned Food.
Lu Huizhen did not use a pseudonym, but, like the workers, referred to Song Weiyang as Xiao Song's director in the article. The story starts from the establishment of the winery by Song Shumin, and continues until the hot sale of Xifeng canned food. The whole story is sensational, like prose.
Moreover, Lu Huizhen did not hand over the article to her instructor, because it was likely to be hacked, so she could only continue to sign it as a second author.
Boom boom boom!
Come in!
Zhang Xiaoguang glanced at Lu Huizhen, feeling familiar, and asked, What's the matter?
Lu Huizhen took out the manuscript and said, Editor Zhang, there is a sensitive manuscript, and you need to read it yourself.
Let's put it down. Zhang Xiaoguang said.
Lu Huizhen put down the manuscript but did not leave, saying: Editor Zhang, this manuscript is urgent.
Zhang Xiaoguang picked up the manuscript and asked, Are you new to the editorial department?
Lu Huizhen said, I'm from the reporter department.
You asked me to read the manuscript from the reporter department? No organization and no discipline! Zhang Xiaoguang suddenly became a little angry.
The editor-in-chief is not the boss of the editorial department, but the boss of the entire newspaper, and generally does not ask about specific manuscripts.
Lu Huizhen was already desperate, and said bravely, Editor Zhang, can you take a few minutes to read this report?
I want to see what tricks you are playing! Zhang Xiaoguang has already decided to fire Lu Huizhen. After the reform of the newspaper, he has this right.
Zhang Xiaoguang's first impression of the manuscript was that the writing style was very beautiful, but a little wordy. After all, newsletters are not lyrical prose, which is a common problem for novice journalists.
But after reading the manuscript, Zhang Xiaoguang immediately changed his attitude. He said: The newsletter is very well written, but Song Shumin's issue is indeed very sensitive. This involves the attitude of the provincial leaders towards the reform of state-owned enterprises.
That's why I have to ask Editor-in-Chief Zhang for instructions. Lu Huizhen laughed.
Today no official dares to block the reform, but there are differences on how to reform. Some think that they should let go of their courage and sell all the state-owned enterprises; some think that they should act cautiously to avoid the loss of state-owned assets-Song Shumin hit this point.
Zhang Xiaoguang lit his cigarette and said to Lu Huizhen, You go out first!
Okay. Lu Huizhen left quickly.
Zhang Xiaoguang quietly made a phone call, and the other end of the phone also made a phone call, and it was finally confirmed - the manuscript can be sent, but the content about Song Shumin needs to be mentioned in one stroke!
Lu Huizhen waited outside the door for half an hour, and finally heard the editor-in-chief's voice: Come in.
Editor Zhang, does the manuscript need to be revised? Lu Huizhen asked.
Zhang Xiaoguang said: The first part is a bit omitted, understand?
Lu Huizhen said, Understood.
Zhang Xiaoguang looked at the signature of the manuscript and said, Lu Huizhen, right? How long have you been in the newspaper office?
Lu Huizhen said: The one who joined the newspaper last year was an intern reporter.
Zhang Xiaoguang understood instantly, and criticized: Do things well in the future, don't engage in crooked ways, and discuss with the instructor first when encountering problems.
Lu Huizhen was ecstatic in her heart, bowed her head and said: The editor-in-chief is right in criticizing, I must reflect on my mistakes.
Okay, let's go, the manuscript has been revised and handed over to the editor in charge. Zhang Xiaoguang said.
Thank you, editor-in-chief! Lu Huizhen finally smiled.
