But he doesn’t have his own cronies. All foreigners say that they can’t do it. When people go back to the factory for the New Year, Hao Kejiu inquired about many things with the concierge and went through the foreigner’s bookkeeping method in the factory.
At this time, he now has a group of people in the arsenal in Foshan Tiefang. These people are not close to the people in the factory all the year round. Even the people in the factory are mostly brought out by foreigners. Their basic purpose is to disobey foreigners, which means bullying their teachers and destroying their ancestors. Although they are also brought out by foreigners, Hao Kejiu now finds that most of these people are the earliest apprentices, and most of the first foreigners have already returned.
Seeing this situation, Hao Kejiu had an idea in his heart. After the New Year, he recruited those people back. The main purpose was not to let them work. The real intention was to pull these people up and make them listen to him.
In order to carry out this plan, Hao Kejiu used his brains for a long time, not only to make foreigners suspicious, but also to be beautiful. Finally, he came up with the idea of letting everyone copy the best machines currently on the market in groups, and let them take the lead as car assistants to produce this kind of machine on the basis of public discussion.
In fact, Hao Kejiu had already seen these people helping the small workshop to copy machines in Foshan, so he knew that these people must do their best, and as he hoped, more than a dozen newly established car assistants were pawned by these foreigners.
At this time, in the high-level management of the whole factory, production supervision and factory quality are still foreigners, but the middle-level management cars have already been pulled up by Hao Kejiu, and then he has to sell the second-step production capacity, otherwise how can he make money?
This time, he still used the old method that everyone should talk on the basis of performance, and whoever has big business will be in charge.
But the original factory management system was that others were looking for doors to place orders, and the responsible industries in the factory were also foreigners. They had done their business in the office, and now they are going out to pull business. There is no such person in a factory to visit running broker.
Foreigners say they can’t do it. They don’t even know the way out of the door.
This is right in the middle of Hao Kejiu’s pregnancy. He can just recruit a group of new people. There are such people in various shops in Guangzhou. running broker is a shop apprentice. The most basic quality is called a salesman in later generations. This year, he is called running broker.
As soon as he recruited 30 young apprentices from Guangzhou, he bought the best machines in Guangzhou, Foshan, Xin ‘an and Kowloon, and went to run around in person, otherwise these people would make great achievements.
Foreigners soon took away their own power and came to the factory to order less foreign companies, because the business was taken away by those running broker.
They are not naturally dissatisfied, but they are still dissatisfied with Hao Kejiu.
Hao Kejiu thinks that they have nothing to do now, but the salary is still rich, which is unreasonable.
In the face of interests, foreigners are more difficult to provoke than China people, and they have brought the lawsuit to the Ministry of Industry.
The Ministry of Industry sent someone to mediate once. Hao Kejiu’s attitude was very tough. He said that there is no reason why foreigners want to take money for nothing. Let’s go to running broker.
A large number of foreigners want to resign. These people are not professional businessmen. Many of them are from the past. In those days, Zhu Jinglun kept them and even built villas for them. They felt that they were very important.
But this time Zhu Jinglun decided to support Hao Kejiu. If he wants to resign, he needs Hao Kejiu’s approval to implement it.
They live in a villa in China with three times the salary in China, enjoying low prices and comfortable life, making them feel that everyone is a floating society. At this time, they are just hired by China people to work, which is a huge psychological blow, but they dare not do the right thing with Hao Kejiu.
Hao Kejiu thinks that these people are not expected to do business, and they don’t know how to bargain with people and pull business. But Hao Kejiu admits that these people still have two skills, which have been cultivated by apprentices over the years. They don’t go to production, so it is better to let them do production now.
So Hao Kejiu arranged for these people to do technology again.
This thing has been tossing for half a year. At this time, Hao Kejiu is already in control.
At this time, he dared to do things according to his own ideas. I don’t think he will change the old rules and regulations in the factory and the rules of production process, because he doesn’t understand it very well. He will change it to the wage system
The former wages are all dead wages. It is almost the same to do more and get less. Of course, if the western quota system is implemented in the factory, it will be deducted.
Now Hao Kejiu plans to introduce the stock system.
This method has been used by shopkeepers and apprentices for decades.
Although the arsenal is not the same as the ticket number, Hao Kejiu didn’t know how to do it for a long time, but after half a year, he learned that he now manages different cars as ticket numbers in various places. Everyone settles independently at the end of the year and pays dividends according to the profit situation. From the shopkeeper to the buddy, he enjoys different dividend distribution according to the years and positions.
First, the distribution of official stocks and stocks, the arsenal, is suspected to be a government industry, and the government invests money to run the government, which is the rule of financial east Shanxi merchants. The financial east can often distribute about half of the profits, and there are some low scores of 60% to 20%.
Considering that the arsenal is official, Hao Kejiu has left enough benefits for the government. It is stipulated that 60% of the factory belongs to the government. From his general manager, he has just recruited apprentices and divided the remaining 40% into bonuses. Of course, the salary is unchanged. This bonus belongs to extra benefits.
Since it is extra, no one will object to it, nor will foreigners.
The implementation is very smooth. The apprentice doesn’t take his shares in the first year, and then he takes half a cent. Every half a cent counts as a grade, from half a cent to nine and a half. A car assistant can usually get seven cents, unless he is very good, he rarely gets nine cents. The highest is usually a big shopkeeper, such as Hao Kejiu, the general manager. He can get one share of his shares every year.
In the first year when Hao Kejiu introduced the stock system, everyone didn’t care. Later, at the end of the year, when all the talents were settled, the existing people got more money than the salary, and then the production atmosphere took on a new look. That is another story.
When Hao Kejiu reformed the arsenal management system, Zhu Jinglun was not idle. He was busy with the second reform, that is, the education reform was the same as the arsenal reform, and he didn’t have a suitable talent in his hand. Finally, he fixed his eyes on an outsider.
But this person’s identity and status made Zhu Jinglun very afraid. He thought about it for a long time and finally decided to give it a try. There are not many people who can make Zhu Jinglun feel afraid of his identity in this era, but this person is definitely one.
Because this man is called Zeng Guofan.
Section four hundred and thirty-seven Jin Ao, etc.
Zhu Jinglun met Zeng Guofan once before going abroad last year, but they didn’t meet at the entrance ceremony of armored ships.
Before going abroad, Zhu Jinglun told local officials that he invited Zeng Guofan to see Guangdong education with permission. He hoped Zeng Guofan could give some suggestions on Guangdong local education.
Shortly after returning to China, Zhu Jinglun didn’t see Zeng Guofan, but asked someone to send a letter to Zeng Guofan to ask some questions. Zhu Jinglun’s letter was very polite, and Zeng Guofan’s reply was also very polite.
In this way, in the letter, Zhu Jinglun found that Zeng Guofan had a thorough understanding of the big education system.
I don’t know if it’s out of courtesy. Zeng Guofan praised the professor of mathematics. He said that these students not only learn from sages, but also learn some arithmetic. In the future, if they fail to pass the imperial examination, they will do some small business or work as accountants, and they will also have a living.
However, he suggested that we should not just teach students arithmetic, but not directly teach them how to learn arithmetic in finance. It would be a pity if we could not settle accounts.
Zeng Guofan also denied the fact that the rural gentry rejected poor students. He visited three counties in the Pearl River Estuary and talked with the local gentry. He even taught the Analects of Confucius in a school for half a year. His intuitive attitude told Zhu Jinglun that the gentry was not opposed to poor students’ learning, but the schools were limited, and all students could not accept it. Let some naturally stupid children waste a few years in vain, and it would be better for them to learn a trade and become independent in the future.
Obviously, Zeng Guofan recognized the views of the rural gentry. These views were regarded by the new school. In Zhu Jinglun’s view, the rural gentry tried to monopolize the culture, which was a conservative trend. However, in Zeng Guofan’s view, this was the reality. He also cited several examples of rural gentry to run private schools. Most of them were poor and rich students with foreign names, but their foolish brothers refused to accept them.
Zhu Jinglun refuted Zeng Guofan and said that some people said that Zeng Guofan was a stupid person. If he didn’t read Chinese calligraphy when he was young, there would be a great scholar missing.
There is a strange phenomenon in the late Qing Dynasty. Anyone who has met Zuo Zongtang does not boast that Zuo Zongtang is a talented person. It was Lin Zexu who was exiled to Xinjiang when he passed through Hunan. When Lin Zexu met Zuo Zongtang, he decided that Zuo Zongtang would definitely be a pillar of the court in the future.
He Changling, a great scholar, treated Zuo Zongtang as a national when he was ten years old. Tao Shu, a government official, took the initiative to marry his niece to Zuo Zongtang when Zuo Zongtang was a civilian.
But anyone who has seen Zeng Guofan often comes to a stupid conclusion, including Zuo Zongtang, who often laughs at Zeng Guofan’s clumsiness, while Zeng Guofan praises Zuo Zongtang’s acumen.
Zhu Jinglun didn’t interview Zeng Guofan. He didn’t know whether Zeng Guofan was stupid or not, but since so many celebrities thought Zuo Zongtang was clever and Zeng Guofan was clumsy, Zhu Jinglun didn’t doubt this conclusion. He doubted this clever and clumsy concept
First of all, Zuo Zongtang was sure that this man was clever and well known. Later, he helped Huguang local officials to train troops against Taiping rebels, and he really showed his talent. I heard that Shida also visited Zuo Zongtang when Taiping rebels entered Hunan, but Zuo Zongtang could not accept their actions of smashing Confucius Temple by Taiping rebels.
But is Zeng Guofan really stupid?
Cong Zuo Zongtang failed in the imperial examination for three times, but Zeng Guofan did. Not only did he pass the examination, but he also achieved the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry before the formation of the Xiang army. From the ten-year examination of Daoguang, he was an official, and he moved up seven times in the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang, and he even rose ten levels.
The key point is that once he was summoned by the emperor for questioning, he was evaluated by the Daoguang emperor. Zeng Guofan was the first to recognize Zeng Guofan’s most thorough understanding of the Fourth Five-Year Plan and the clearest explanation. As a result, he was promoted to Level 4 in a year.
