Chapter 874: War without smoke (second update, please subscribe)
The air conditioner is definitely the greatest invention in the world!
In this regard, no Nanyang person would doubt that Nanyang, located on the equator, has an average temperature between 23 and 34 degrees Celsius, making it a truly tropical country.
However, thanks to the popularization of air conditioners, the indoor temperature in public facilities in Nanyang can be maintained at around 20 degrees all year round. As the Ministry of International Trade and Industry was the first to install central air conditioning, the temperature here has been lowered by two degrees. Spend.
Because keeping a clear mind at all times is the key to people being able to work efficiently.
Because of this, central air conditioning and air conditioners began to be popularized in Nanyang as early as the early days of construction. And thanks to the emphasis that companies place on related technologies, air conditioners have now become a dominant industry in Nanyang. Even with central air conditioners, the quality of Nanyang's products is no worse than those in the United States, and they have also begun to be sold back to the United States.
Air conditioning is combat effectiveness, this is something Li Yian has repeatedly emphasized.
Zuo Xiaohan never doubted this. After he was promoted to chief, he even ordered the air conditioner to be turned down two degrees. In the ministry, if you don't wear a coat, you will definitely feel the chill. Forcing.
As usual, Zuo Xiaohan, who was sitting in the office, was not only wearing a tie, but also neatly wearing a coat. In front of him, Zhang Songjie, the director of the Personnel Department, was talking there. The matter of personnel adjustment in the department.
After he finished speaking, Zuo Xiaohan asked.
"But, what do you think about your own affairs?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Songjie immediately replied loudly:
"Commander, please let me continue this period. "
"Is it okay? It's very nerve-wracking to do personnel work. Usually you will have a nervous breakdown after one period of doing it..."
Although Zuo Xiaohan admires Zhang Songjie's ability, As we all know, doing human affairs is a very tiring job.
"No, I'm just the opposite. I'm most interested in people, and I want to work harder to come up with an ideal personnel plan. I plan to completely change the seniority-based personnel arrangement in our Ministry of International Trade and Industry that no one can offend. "
Zhang Songjie said, his voice getting louder and louder. He had his own ideas about personnel work.
“Our agency does not have a huge budget that can be used at will, and now it does not have much approval power. It can only rely on administrative leadership to maintain ties with the business community. Therefore, the talents of those officials who hold important positions and Personality is a problem. We are different from those agencies that only arrange teams in order of seniority. If we do not cultivate and discover courageous talents and place them in appropriate positions, our Ministry of International Trade and Industry will accomplish nothing one day. And we formulate industrial policies, which are related to the economic development of Nanyang. If we make a mistake, the whole of Nanyang will be affected..."
"Yes, I understand. "
Zuo Xiaohan raised his hand to interrupt his rambling words, nodded and said,
"It seems that you like the personnel business very much!"
"Yes, I like it very much. After all, personnel is the foundation of everything."
Nods, for this subordinate, Zuo Xiao John is very familiar with it. He has a good grasp of the more than a thousand personnel of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, and he can always make the best use of them. As early as when he was the section chief, he showed extremely outstanding abilities in this area and served as the personnel director. After that, I helped him solve many problems. In terms of personnel appointment, he even has the ability of a prophet, and he can always put the right people in the right place.
Because of this, he admired Zhang Songjie very much, and even intentionally took him to the official residence several times, hoping to become familiar with you.
However, this guy seems to have no interest in being an official. In fact, this time, he originally intended for him to go to the Secretariat. This position will give him the opportunity to contact you. After all, sometimes they need to go there. reported. Being in that position will be beneficial to his next development, and it is a position that many people dream of.
But this guy still refused and actually continued to do very tiring personnel work.
Seeing that he has made up his mind.
Zuo Xiaohan did not persist any longer. Then he said.
"Zhao Peiqi, are you transferred from Dongning Hall?"
"Yes, he is a very capable general in Dongning Hall. I plan to place him here Light Industry Bureau, if nothing happens, the Light Industry Bureau will definitely be very busy this year and next year.”
"Oh? Why?"
Zuo Xiaohan looked at his right-hand man with interest and asked.
“Because of trade disputes,”
“Trade disputes?”
“Yes, it’s a trade dispute,” Zhang Songjie said.
“Last year, the United States reduced tariffs on textiles, and cheap textiles from Asia poured into the United States, namely Nanyang goods, as well as those cheap OEM goods coming from duty-free zones. So far, Nanyang textiles have Representing Asian textiles, their share of the U.S. market has soared from 27.4% in May 1999 to 60% currently, while the "one dollar shirts" in Malaya, Mindanao, Surabaya, Kyushu, and even Bay Island are ", has occupied most of the U.S. market share. In general, all this will have an impact on the U.S. textile industry, and as we all know, we are the leader among them. Under the pressure of the U.S. textile industry, U.S. officials will definitely not sit idly by. "
Listening to Zhang Songjie's analysis, Zuo Xiaohan said with deep understanding.
"Indeed, the official residence also has this concern. It is unavoidable at this time, and it is natural to think of ways to deal with it."
Zuo Xiaohan said after taking a look at Zhang Songjie.
"So, you are ready to let Zhao Peiqi take the lead in dealing with future trade disputes."
"He has studied in the United States, knows the United States and Americans very well, and is very good at dealing with Americans. And he He is still a very motivated guy and can definitely take on heavy responsibilities."
"Yes!"
Zuo Xiaohan said, nodding.
“I got it.”
In fact, Zuo Xiaohan knew Zhao Peiqi when he was transferred to the ministry. He was indeed a very capable guy, so he mentioned this name to his wife, and she also understood and sent a fruit basket. It's his habit. He would ask his wife to send a fruit basket to everyone who worked in the ministry or went to other places from the ministry.
"Since we are going to fight, let's be prepared. Zhao Peiqi will definitely not be able to do it. We need to give him some helpers. Let's see."
"I understand. Commander-in-Chief, he is a capable person who leads the charge, and I will also assign him a Chief of Staff."
Soon, Zhang Songjie left the Commander-in-Chief's office.
After returning to his office, Zhang Songjie took out a stack of cards from the drawer and spread them out one by one on the table. The cards were half the size of business cards, each with the name of an important official in the ministry written on it.
Looking at the cards one after another, the faces, personalities and expertise of these people kept popping up in Zhang Songjie's mind. Then, he drew out a personnel organization list on the table and tried to place the cards in the positions he thought were appropriate.
Stare at the cards on the table. First he loosened his tie, then unbuttoned his shirt to get some air.
Even though the temperature in the room was only 18 degrees, he still felt a little hot. At this time, the card on the table was shouting like a human being.
"My work is too light!"
Another card cried:
"My burden is too heavy!"
So, he readjusted the position of the card.
From the side, it looks like playing poker alone.
This is his house of cards, his personnel house of cards. Zhang Songjie started playing with these cards several years ago. According to the names, talents, and personalities of the people on the cards, adjust their positions and analyze them.
Therefore, the old cards with the names of officials at all levels were stained by hand dirt and changed color. However, in the past, the spread cards, as the chief said, were of a prophetic nature, and could always predict what position such a person should be placed in.
Although Zhang Songjie calls it an ideal candidate, for him, it is still just a table game.
However, now that he has become the director of the personnel department and is about to serve for a second term, Zhang Songjie is particularly enthusiastic when lining up his cards. Once the cards are placed, personnel changes will follow: some people will be resurrected and make a comeback, while others will be relegated to the cold palace and buried alive. Some people are even sent to other areas.
In short, in his own house of cards, he can decide everything!
Now Zhang Songjie is like a general. The cards in his hand are the soldiers he has arranged in formation. He is making final preparations for the upcoming battle. They need to be put in the most appropriate position so that they can play their greatest role and ultimately win this war without gunpowder.
