Chapter 396 Reuse
The newspaper life that made him "satisfactory" did not last long.At most, it will be one or two years longer than the "[-] years at the grassroots level" - that is the whole time Zhong Ren spent in the newspaper office.

More than ten years is enough for Zhong Ren to make a fortune.Even if you spend your whole life at the grassroots level, you may not make as much money as you did in the ten years at the newspaper office.

This is honest.

In particular, Zhong Ren can frequently pull advertisements through his "exclusive" special "pull advertising" method, and his monthly "commission income" is quite considerable.

Counting his annual "annual income", Zhong Renshao earns hundreds of thousands.

The benefits are huge.

Colleagues may not know his detailed income.But for Zhong Ren's "ability", it is generally accepted that he is a "talent for generals".

The president of the newspaper at that time was an "airborne talent" from the "Emperor Capital".Although he didn't hold a very important position in the upper echelon, but he has been in that "first-tier city" for many years, the president's vision is undoubtedly forward-looking, and the pattern in his chest is also grand.

In short, the income of this big newspaper in the south like Zhong Ren's is mediocre, and there is almost not much "living money" left to maintain a large workforce of various expenses and benefits.

For a newspaper office in Nuoda, except for the "fixed assets" such as "office buildings", other assets, especially cash, are really pitifully small.

In the financial situation of a newspaper office that can only "balance expenses", the president from "Emperor Capital" has long seen such a problem, such a "hidden danger".

As long as there is a storm, such a newspaper office with a large shelf and a large number of pages has a very low ability to resist risks.

The key is too little money.Profitability is too low.

Back in the days when everything was "planned", even if the newspaper office didn't have any income, the higher-ups' "financial and administrative" departments could still provide it with "funding" to maintain its normal operation.But in the new era and the new background, what the newspaper pays attention to is "self-financed", which has been changed into a "self-financed" company-like unit. You can no longer rely on your superiors to help you draw out funds to "cover the bottom line".

What the higher-ups can do for the newspaper office is to retain the "level" and corresponding "remuneration" of the newspaper staff, and to help mobilize the various grassroots units below when the newspaper is about to be "published" every year. Come to "subscribe" to this newspaper... If you can do these two things, at least you can guarantee that no matter how difficult it is for the newspaper office, it will not be "unable to open the pot".

But these are all settings based on the beginning of the "reform". The reference is to the "time and space background" of that year.In the new era, despite ensuring that such "too rigid" newspapers still have a fixed "number of orders", they can be printed every day normally.Otherwise, just printing the newspaper would be a huge sum of money.It would be unsustainable to "make up" this shortfall every year, month, month, and day.

Now newspapers can ensure enough "quantity" through the call and mobilization of "superior" to keep down the printing cost of each newspaper.Especially in the early years, the newspaper purchased printing equipment and set up a printing factory, which further lowered the printing cost... Under such circumstances, the newspaper printed more than [-] copies every day to ensure a "slight surplus".

However, from the "sales" of hundreds of thousands of copies at the peak, to now it can only maintain a "print run" of 10,000+ per day, which has been greatly "shrunk".

But at least it won't cost you money to fill this "big hole" every day.

But just relying on the "sales" of the newspaper, the "income" of this year is only a few million, and it is "stretched" to maintain the operation of an entire large newspaper.

First of all, the big newspaper has more than 300 formal employees.The average salary per day and year is about 5 yuan (an average of more than 4 yuan per month).At the end of this year, about 160 million wages have to be paid out.

Also, is the various expenses of the office building.For example, the electricity bill of the entire office building, every day, the "air conditioning fee" alone costs thousands of dollars.The monthly air conditioning fee is almost 20.

Fortunately, in a year, only about half of the hot months need to "turn on the air conditioner".If so, calculated on an annual basis, the annual air-conditioning fee will be about 120 million.

There are other miscellaneous expenses.For a large unit to "operate", of course there will be its "operating costs".

Units like major newspapers are in a special situation, and the "operating costs" include some of their unique stuff.For example, the consumption of A4 paper.That is also a huge amount.In addition, when editing a newspaper, a "small sample" and a "big sample" must be produced first, so that the editor can then review it to see if there are any mistakes or omissions?If there is, it can be remedied and corrected in time... All of these are extremely paper-consuming.

There is also a huge expense for the newspaper office, which is the distribution of "retirement benefits" for the "retired old employees" of the unit.

This is also very "burning money".

The so-called "retirement benefits" do not only include "pensions" - this part must be paid to retired employees.

It also includes the reimbursement of sickness of retirees-this part is the content that drags down the "legs" of the newspaper.Seriously dragging the "hind legs".

You know, there was no such thing as purchasing "social security" back then. If you are a retired employee of this unit, the unit must always guarantee to pay you "retirement benefits" after you retire.

Moreover, this major newspaper gives employees "level wages" based on "civil servants."The various "levels" accumulated during his lifetime, when the higher authorities ask for a certain salary increase for a certain level, the newspaper company must also increase the salary for each level of "newspaper employees".Retired veteran cadres also enjoy this kind of treatment.

For this reason, the newspaper also set up a "Retired Cadres. Department. Liaison. Office" to be responsible for various related affairs of retired veterans.This shows how huge the team of retirees in this newspaper is.

There are more than 100 newspaper retirees.The distribution of "retirement funds" for these people is another huge sum of money.

What's more, among the retirees, those who are over 70 years old will gradually suffer from various diseases.In this case, if it is an ordinary retired employee of a newspaper office, after being hospitalized, the "reimbursement ratio" given by the newspaper office is about 6% to 7%. The total reimbursement of the "capping" is set within 25.

There are also some "retired cadres" with a certain level, and the reimbursement rate for hospitalization will increase to about 8%.The upper limit of reimbursement is raised to 40.

There is also a so-called "retired cadre department", that is, they started working earlier than the time when the local establishment was established, so they are considered "retired cadres".They are regarded as special contributors to the local area, and [-]% of the expenses incurred in hospitalization are directly reimbursed.And there is no “reimbursement cap.”How much hospitalization expenses are incurred, then how much should be reported-the so-called "real reimbursement".

In this case, the newspaper office's expenditure on personnel is extremely huge.It would be very good if it could not lose money and still barely maintain a "fragile" "balance of payments" state.

The maintenance of such a "balance of payments" state is not only achieved by the "sales" of 10,000+ copies of the newspaper.To achieve this state, the poor "advertising" income of the newspaper must also be included.

Also, doesn't the newspaper itself have a "printing factory"?If there is a printing factory, it will definitely be able to solicit "printing tasks" from the outside world.

In this way, the income of the printing factory that comes down every year is all calculated into the "total income" of the newspaper office, and the newspaper office uses the money to meet various expenses in a unified manner.

This includes the payment of various “welfare benefits” to retired personnel.In fact, the staff of the "printing factory" also felt unhappy about this.I feel that I am using the "fruits" of my hard work to support those people who should be supported by newspapers.After all, most of the "retired list" are former editors and reporters.

The profits created by the newspaper itself cannot guarantee the payment of benefits to "retirees", and printing plants have to create profits to maintain the retirement benefits of those personnel. It is really unpleasant.

I feel that the benefits I get from working as a living and dying person are not as much enjoyed by a group of retirees.How can this effectively mobilize everyone's positive attitude towards work?
In short, the family is big and the business is big, and all kinds of conflicts within the newspaper office are naturally inevitable... Being the president of this kind of unit is actually quite stressful.

It is necessary to find ways to maintain the normal operation of the newspaper, but also to ensure that the benefits of various personnel cannot be reduced.We have to find ways to increase some "profit points" for the newspaper.

In short, newspaper offices at that time were in great need of talents.It’s not that you need editing talent. Anyway, the “property of the article” determines that no matter how well written the articles for serious newspapers are, they will not be able to capture the hearts of the “free subscription” citizens.They will never pay for a newspaper like yours.

Therefore, from the perspective of the "President", he actually felt that the newspaper had no shortage of editors and reporters.What is lacking is leadership talents who can make suggestions for the operation of the newspaper and have real execution capabilities.

It was at that time that Zhong Ren showed an extremely strong ability to "make money", which was why the "President" and other superiors looked at him.

This guy seems to be quite good at "making money".

The president also gradually began to feel: If he really wanted to create a profitable "project" for the newspaper, wouldn't it be a good choice for Zhong Ren to be the person in charge?
Zhong Ren has entered the president's assessment list.

When Zhong Ren was doing well and smoothly, in fact, there were quite a lot of things that he did not "fight for" or "ask for", but after he fully demonstrated his extremely strong working ability, he just happened to The newspaper office was in a moment of "deeply needing change and breaking the situation", so he caught up with the opportunity.

The president needs to reuse some talents.And this talent standard, Zhong Ren is very in line with it.The president was able to see him because he saw his ability, and also saw that Zhong Ren was already a "middle-level deputy" in the newspaper. To promote him, all the conditions were ripe.

At this time, the president wanted to promote Zhong Ren without any pressure.Nobody would object to such a promotion.

After all, Zhong Ren has no "short board" in all aspects of his ability and popularity.

For the president to reuse him and promote him, few other colleagues would really envy him.Most of my colleagues think that it is only natural for Zhong Ren to be reused.

Zhong Ren's "popularity" is really good.Not only are there not many colleagues (except for his competitors) who are jealous of Zhong Ren, they also believe that he should shoulder the burden of "making money" for the newspaper.

There are so many people who can edit and write in newspapers!But few dare to claim to be top-notch in "making money".Not to mention "challenging" Zhong Renlai.

In this case, if the president really reuses Zhong Ren, let him make money for the "newspaper".After the "benefits" of the newspaper office go up, the benefits of the employees and colleagues of the newspaper office can of course be improved steadily.

This is the core reason why colleagues love to hear and are willing to support the president to reuse Zhong Ren.

As for whether the president's money-making idea is reliable or not, everyone can give their opinions.If it is reliable, the key factor in determining failure lies in the fact that the candidate who acts as the "executor" is "capable or not".

Of course, Zhong Ren had also heard about the above-mentioned "gossip" inside the newspaper office.

Perhaps, this no longer belongs to "grass news".Because before promoting him to an important position, the president must first raise Zhong Ren's "level".

Before that, Zhong Ren only served as the "Deputy" of the "Theory Department", "Art Department" and even the "Communication Department" of the newspaper.

The corresponding level is the level of "deputy department".

The president wants to reuse Zhong Ren and put him in a more important position, regardless of whether he can do well in that position or how long he can do it, first of all, that position belongs to the level of "director".

Zhong Ren wanted to go to such a position, but his level was not high enough, of course he had to be "rectified" first.

If the level is raised by half a level, it is also necessary to report to the higher level, and then the higher level passes, and a one-month "publicity" will be carried out.

But as long as the president intends to reuse Zhong Ren and raise a level, that's not a big problem.After all, the president has the full right to decide the promotion to the "official" level.Generally, as long as he proposes it, the higher authorities will not deny it.Because that's exactly one of his powers.

Only at the level of "deputy president" does the president have no authority to approve.

Now Zhong Rendu has been promoted half a level by the president, "rectified", and is in the one-month "publicity period".

After this period of time, if no one jumps out to prove that Zhong Ren is unfit for promotion with "real evidence", then Zhong Ren's "promotion" will be completed.

After that, the president wants to put him in the corresponding "official office" position. Within the authority of the president, the president only needs to send a document through the "Social Committee" and make an announcement, and it will be considered complete. The whole program is gone.

And Zhong Ren can "take office immediately".

Zhong Ren, as the person involved, probably had a "president" come to him for a "talk".Therefore, he will know some real and accurate information more or less.But this guy is also "tongue" tight enough.No matter how his colleagues "congratulate him" and inquire about him, he always deals with it with "haha".
