After leaving Shi Wanchun's office, Zhou Yan was not in a hurry to leave, but chose to walk around the school.
He spent too little time in school this year. He was teaching a class before, but he just stopped teaching this semester because he really didn’t have time.
Looking at the students coming and going in the school, Zhou Yan felt a lot more relaxed.
Students kept saying hello to him along the way, and he responded to them one by one.
News spreads slowly these days. Otherwise, when he was walking on the road, he would hear not only greetings, but also congratulations.
More than 20 years later, on the night when the results of such awards are released, school students will be able to get the news, and social software will accurately deliver the news.
While passing by the door of the piano room, I happened to bump into Sun Dong coming out of it.
Seeing Sun Dong, Zhou Yan felt it was quite a coincidence. He had just heard the teacher talk about Sun Dong.
Sun Dong is not particularly familiar with Zhou Yan, but Sun Dong is a red-faced man who smiles when he sees everyone. He is considered a "social butterfly" in the orchestra and is very popular in school.
When he met Zhou Yan, Sun Dong was also very enthusiastic, "Teacher Zhou, why do you have time to come back today? You must be very busy recently, right?"
"Well, let's go back to school to deal with some things."
"Are you done with the work?"
"I'm done, ready to go around the school."
Sun Dong seemed to be I still had something to say to Zhou Yan, so he came closer and handed Zhou Yan a cigarette. Zhou Yan didn't ask for it, so he lit it himself, then took a puff of the cigarette in the cold wind and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhou, what's going on with your band this semester?" What’s the situation? Aren’t you ready to recruit new students?”
Under normal circumstances, the Piano Youth Orchestra has recruitment activities every semester.
Although there have been fewer and fewer new recruits in the past two years, there are still some every semester. However, the Piano Youth Orchestra has not taken action so far this year. It happened that Sun Dong asked Zhou Yan when he met him today.
"Fang Xiu is in charge of recruiting new people. I usually don't ask about it. Maybe she has her own plans? You and Fang Xiu should be in constant contact, right?"
So is Sun Dong. For those who have coursework, he also taught Fang Xiu when she was an undergraduate.
After Fang Xiu took charge of the Piano Youth Orchestra, Sun Dong has always been in charge of the business of the orchestral department, so the two should have more contact.
“Fang Xiu told me that the members of your band are now stable and there is no need to recruit new members for the time being. However, I think that the only way to make the band more dynamic is to keep new people coming in. , Teacher Zhou, what do you think?”
Zhou Yan nodded. In fact, what Sun Dong said made sense.
It is definitely not good for a band to have too many staff turnovers, but it is not good if there is no staff turnover at all. If it is too stable, it will be difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of the original members.
Human nature is such that it is difficult to change and can only be maintained by rules.
Of course, Sun Dong said this not mainly for the sake of their orchestra. He definitely wanted to give orchestra students the opportunity to go to the Piano Youth Orchestra to practice.
No matter how good the teaching is, it is just talk without practice. The Piano Youth Orchestra has been a good place for orchestra students to practice in recent years.
"Is there any outstanding student in the new orchestra class?" Zhou Yan asked.
"There are so many. If you have time, I can take you to see them?"
"I'm afraid not today." Zhou Yan shook his head.
"Haha, of course not today. Even if you want to watch today, I can't go and get someone for you. Speaking of which, you haven't been to our orchestra department for a long time. Our orchestra can count you. Half of the family is gone. When you formed the Piano Youth Orchestra, you took away half of our orchestra."
Hearing Sun Dong's words, Zhou Yan almost laughed, because he heard " "Half of the Country" reminds me of Wang Feng, and Wang Feng was orchestrated by them.
However, what Sun Dong said is correct. When the Piano Youth Orchestra was formed, there were many people from the orchestra department, all of whom were outstanding students. It is not an exaggeration to say that half of the band was composed of the whole band.
"I don't even come here to compose. Well, after a while, when I finish the work at hand, I will go to your place to sit. Don't be unwelcome then. "
"Look at what you said, if you come, then all of us in the orchestra will definitely eat pots of juice to welcome Master Wang. There is no reason not to welcome you when our two departments performed together last semester. , many people want to invite you over, but you are too busy and can’t invite you.”
Sun Dong is talking about the graduation work concert, the full name is the graduation work of the composition department (orchestral). ) concert is a collaboration between the two departments and is also the most important event of both departments every year.
In recent years, the most popular concert was probably that of Zhou Yan’s graduating class. The concert hall was full at that time.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "If I have time next year, I can go and have a look."
"I have taken note of what you said, and I will definitely remind you in advance."
Again After chatting for a few words, Sun Dong tightened the collar of his clothes, said goodbye to Zhou Yan, and left with a cigarette in his mouth.
......
Zhou Yan didn't stay in school for too long, mainly because he couldn't take a quiet walk in school. There were too many classmates saying hello, and he kept responding, which was fine. Tired.
After returning to the studio, he first called Liu Hang to the office and briefly talked to him about the school-enterprise cooperation.
“You should make a plan during this period and try to finalize this matter during this semester.”
Liu Hang nodded and said, “No problem, the studio is really lacking recently. After the school-enterprise cooperation is implemented, it can also reduce our pressure.”
Although Liu Hang has never done school-enterprise cooperation before, he is not unfamiliar with this model and knows that it is very important for their studio. In this case, school-enterprise cooperation is very suitable.
There are more and more jobs in the studio, but it is not appropriate to recruit a large number of full-time employees, which will put a burden on the studio. The key is that the people recruited may not be as useful as Yangyin students.
The main reason for using students is that it is flexible enough, the cost is low, and it can maintain a good relationship with the school.
"If you have any questions, come and communicate with me at any time."
"Okay." Liu Hang nodded, but did not leave, and said to Zhou Yan, "I just came to work this morning , Director Li came to my office.”
“Did he ask you for anything?”
“He didn’t say anything specific. He just came over to chat with me with a cup of tea. Most of them talk about the situation in the factory. ”
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes. Some time ago, before the filming of "Space Traveler" started, Liu Hang told him about this, and Li Xiuhai was always looking for him.
The situation of the electronics factory is getting worse and worse. The hole is getting bigger and bigger, and it can no longer support it. At that time, Zhou Yan had the idea of selling other buildings in Changzi, but he put it aside at that time.
Now that Li Xiuhai is here again, the situation is probably getting worse again.
Think about it. It’s only a few months before the Chinese New Year, and the factory’s performance is deteriorating. When the Chinese New Year comes, the workers’ wages and benefits may not be available.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yan said, "I know about this, you go ahead and do your work."
"Okay."
After Liu Hang left, Zhou Yan picked up the I called Li Xiuhai.
The call was answered quickly.
“Hello, who is this?”
"Director Li, it's me, Zhou Yan."
Hearing that it was Zhou Yan, Li Xiuhai revealed a hint of surprise in his tone, "Teacher Zhou, why did you remember to call me?"
"Are Director Li busy now? If not, come to my office and have tea?"
Faced with Zhou Yan's invitation, Li Xiuhai didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly, "It's a great honor. Then I'll go over now."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
...
In less than two minutes, Li Xiuhai arrived at Zhou Yan's office.
Their offices are not far apart, but it takes some effort to go up and down the stairs. They arrived so quickly, which means that Li Xiuhai rushed here after hanging up the phone, which shows that he really Very urgent.
Although there is no heating in the factory, it is very warm inside. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is quite large. In addition, it is windy today. Li Xiuhai rushed all the way here and was blown by the cold wind. After entering the house, his face turned red.
Seeing Li Xiuhai's red face, Zhou Yan thought to himself, it seemed that he was indeed in a hurry.
But this Li Xiuhai is really interesting. Since he was in a hurry, why didn't he just come to him instead of "harassing" Liu Hang?
"Director Li, please sit down."
Zhou Yan poured a cup of tea for Li Xiuhai and sat across from him, "Director Li, we haven't seen each other for some time, right?"
"Well, Teacher Zhou, you have been very busy recently. It is not easy to see you."
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "It is not difficult to say that I am I’ve been in the office for a while, so just come to me if you want.”
"Isn't this because I'm afraid of delaying your work?"
"Director Li, you are serious. It is indeed rude of me to say that I am rude. The studio uses Guibao Land and thanks to your continuous support, I should go there more often." Walk around."
"Teacher Zhou, you are so polite. You have solved a big problem for us by renting the warehouse and Building 3."
Seeing that Li Xiuhai didn't take the initiative to mention it, Zhou Yan didn't follow. He took a roundabout way and got straight to the point, "I heard from Liu Hang that the factory's operation is in some trouble?"
After Zhou Yan asked, Li Xiuhai began to pour out his bitterness, "The current environment is too bad. Every factory was laying off workers, and workers were laid off one after another. When I came, the factory was already in a mess, and it was impossible to save it. I tried all kinds of methods, but in the end there was no way to save the situation without massive layoffs. You are so lucky. It’s the end of the year and you have a lot of money to spend, but you don’t have much money in your account..."
Zhou Yan was not in a hurry to interrupt him, and listened quietly to him pouring out his bitterness for five or six minutes before he slowly said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Li Xiuhai didn't hesitate at this time. He said directly, "Teacher Zhou, your studio is getting better and better. Do you think you should rent out the two buildings here? These two buildings are about the same size as Building No. 3, so they will be rented as No. 3 buildings." How about we not increase the rent of the building?"
Zhou Yan also found it interesting. Just these few words, Li Xiuhai was stunned for several months, or he took the initiative to find him, He just said.
The matter of renting a building is optional for Zhou Yan.
The studio does need to expand, but that cannot be solved by just renting a few buildings. These buildings in the electronics factory have fatal flaws and cannot support the later transformation of the studio.
What Zhou Yan thought was that it would be best to take down the electronics factory and then transform it on the original basis.
In his opinion, the electronics factory will collapse sooner or later, but at this stage, it is definitely impossible for Li Xiuhai to sell the factory to the studio, and Li Xiuhai does not have this right.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan said, "Isn't that building in the northwest also empty? Why not rent that building to us too? These three buildings are packaged together, and I won't occupy your factory. It’s cheap, add 20% to the rent of the previous building No. 3.”
Zhou Yan is not a philanthropist. The reason why he is willing to increase the rent by 20% is because of the northwest building. The building is far away from their current warehouse, and there is a large open space in the middle. By renting that building and connecting it with several other buildings, this large open space can be covered.
As long as this piece of open space is taken down, there will be room for anything you want to do later.
Li Xiuhai could actually guess what Zhou Yan was thinking, but the conditions proposed by Zhou Yan were too tempting, and the factory had no other options at this stage. Being able to rent another building was what he wanted.
So, Li Xiuhai nodded without much thought, "No problem, as long as you are willing to ask for it, Mr. Zhou, then we can rent the northwest building to you, along with the open space in the middle. I’ll rent it to you too.”
Li Xiuhai understands that after the northwest building is rented out, they won’t be able to use the open space in the middle for their own factory. It’s better to be a favor and just tell the studio. .
Seeing that Li Xiuhai was so sensible, Zhou Yan also nodded, "Thank you, Director Li, we don't want this land in vain. I won't add 20% to the rent. The three buildings will be directly Counting the four buildings, the rent of the extra building will be considered as the rent of this vacant land."
Li Xiuhai was naturally very happy when he heard what Zhou Yan said. He originally increased the rent for the three buildings by 20%. The rent is only equivalent to 3.6 buildings, and now it is equal to four buildings, which is equivalent to 0.4 more buildings. This is a lot of money.
"Okay, then I will go back to have a meeting today to vote and finalize this matter."
The meeting is naturally a process. Now everyone in the factory is waiting for the rice to be cooked, and the rent paid by Zhou Yan has been solved. Their urgent need can keep the factory going for a while.
However, in Zhou Yan's opinion, not only will he not be able to save the factory by renting these buildings, it may actually accelerate its collapse.
Originally, without Zhou Yan's intervention, the electronics factory would have been similar to other state-owned factories, laying off workers step by step and then dying slowly.
But with the rent provided by Zhou Yan, there were basically no layoffs at the electronics factory.
With so many people, Zhou Yan couldn't afford the rent. When the rent was used up and the factory's efficiency basically returned to zero, problems would erupt intensively, and by then it would be too late to lay off people.
It is equivalent to saying that if a person is about to die, he is suddenly given a strong dose of medicine. Although he can recover for a while, he will die faster. (End of this chapter)
