Rebirth of the Almighty Internet Celebrity

Chapter 413 The Powerful Father

The "eldest son of the Zhong family" couple pays special attention to the education of their two sons.

Especially willing to invest more resources in education for children.To put it bluntly, it is to attend those "training courses" that cost tens of thousands of yuan.

It seems that very few salaried people living in big cities do not pay attention to children's education.Not only the migrant workers who were born and raised in the cities value their children in cities, but even the migrant workers who went to economically developed cities from rural areas are also affected, and they attach great importance to their children's education.

If conditions permit, the children will be sent from the countryside to study in the big cities where they work. Of course, they will have to pay more expensive fees.If the money earned is not enough to afford, then choose the best kindergarten and the best school in the town of my hometown, rural Wei.

The "Zhong family's eldest son" and his wife are also highly educated, so of course they pay more attention to their children's education.

The expenditure in this area is also extremely huge.But they can also afford it.

But this time, the mother of "the eldest son of the Zhong family" fell ill, and the illness was still so serious and threatening.Even in terms of medical expenses, his father Zhong Ren will take the "big head" and bear the heavy burden.But as a son, it is impossible for "the eldest son of the Zhong family" not to pay a penny.

In addition, "the eldest son of the Zhong family" is an out-and-out filial son, belonging to the "as fake as it is" kind.Like him, a filial son of Zhong Da, once he heard about some therapeutic medicine from various sources, and the medicine was particularly effective, he would pay out of his own pocket and spend "a lot of money" to buy it.

As a result, the family's expenses have increased significantly.

As for the "Zhong's Children" family, they are not like Da'er, who see some medicine that may improve the symptoms of "senile dementia", so they try their best to buy it.The family of the youngest son gives his father Zhong Ren a fixed amount of money every month (not too much, not too little), and supports his father to "take care" of his mother steadily.

To be more precise, it can be regarded as reducing part of the cost of "accompaniment".

At this time, Zhong Ren, who already had plenty of ways to make money, felt more and more that he didn't have enough money.

He must earn more money to be able to arrange his life that was disrupted by his family member's serious illness.

Zhong Ren had been the boss of "Zibao" for seven years.For more than 7 years, he only made money according to his ability, that is, through his own network and ability, solicited advertising sponsorships, but according to the "rules", he took his due share of "commission".

But gradually, the high advertising commission could not catch up with the family's ever-expanding expenditure.Zhong Ren also had to "open up" new channels to make a lot of money.

In fact, in an "important position", Zhong Ren is mostly concerned with making money.It's just that those are somewhat illegal.Zhong Ren doesn't talk about "high integrity", but the minimum "professional drill. Ning" is still very particular.He will not be able to "use power for personal gain".

But the pressure brought on him by the "sick wife" at home was too heavy.

In addition, it is not always possible to continue to engage in the matter of earning "commissions" through advertising sponsorships.After all, the kind of tricks that rely on "commission" to make money consume "human affection".

As time goes on, there will be fewer and fewer "connections" that can be counted on.That means that "favor" is used less and less.

At this time, it happened that his wife was suffering from that "clumsy disease".When Zhong Ren is old and "carrying weight", he feels unusually heavy.

He still has to figure out how to find a new source of income.The two sons thought that he was really "skilled to the sky", but in fact, he had already done a bit of "top" in advertising sponsorship.It feels a little "unsustainable".It seems that it is becoming more and more difficult to find "connections" who want to continue but are willing to help him.

Perhaps, someone who knows Zhong Ren's method of establishing "connections" will suggest to continue to actively develop "new contacts" as before.

But developing "new contacts" requires a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Where can you build it immediately if you want to?

If it is so easy to achieve, all the middle-level leaders of the platform in the newspaper office can do it.

First of all, it takes time, and it takes a lot of time to "grind" slowly.Such a process is full of many uncertain factors.Where is overnight success? !

In addition, even if Zhong Ren is willing to work hard, actively write manuscripts to "give away", and open up some new "personal connections", it will not be as "effective" as before.

It's not that the heads of departments at all levels suddenly became less enthusiastic about "publishing articles" to show their theoretical level.That's absolutely not true.Among the huge group of people who receive salaries from the finance and government, there is no one who is not keen on taking advantage of all available opportunities to show off and advertise themselves.

How could he not be keen to use his own name to publish theoretical articles in major newspapers?

Although Zhong Ren has already transferred his position from the "deputy" of the theory department to the boss of "Contemporary Metropolitan Evening News" through "internal transfer".The position has changed, and it is getting better and better, not worse and worse. Under this situation, he wants to publish some articles (whether signed by him or signed by other authors) in the theoretical version of the original "big newspaper". ), that can still be done.

Zhong Ren was in the newspaper office, if he didn't have this bit of face, then he would have done too badly.

Why do the "connections" he established want to publish "unread theoretical articles" in major newspapers, and they don't want to publish articles in "sub-newspapers" with extremely strong sales and advertising benefits? !

This is related to the needs of those "connections".

The "connections" don't publish theoretical articles just for their own pleasure. The effect they hope to achieve is to let the people who can decide their position "promote" recognize their theoretical level after reading this theoretical article.

Once the enthusiasm of this kind of favor is transformed into one of the factors for the superior to promote you, then you will make a lot of money.

Therefore, if there is a "channel" to earn more and greater favor from superiors, the "connectors" will spare no effort to do so.

But it is getting more and more difficult to use Zhong Ren's "theoretical articles" to accumulate the goodwill of the superiors through twists and turns.

The reason is also very simple.That's because "times have changed".

Times have really changed.In the past, each unit more or less held a lot of funds, or some sources of income.Therefore, the heads of each unit can have the so-called "small treasury".

The biggest advantage of the existence of the "small treasury" is that the bosses have to spend some expenses that do not meet the regulations, such as treating personal friends to a big meal or something. Not many times.Of course, there must be a "channel" to reimburse.

The meaning of the existence of the so-called "small treasury", or the greatest meaning in the eyes of some people, is nothing more than this.

But since the reform in that year, each unit basically has no right to "charge" itself.For example, if your "resident registration book" is damaged, you have to go to the relevant department to get a new one, and the old one becomes invalid.

That's 10 yuan for the "production cost".Even this small amount of money was not collected by the "Household Registration Section" of the relevant department.Instead, you transfer the "cost" to the "financial department at the same level" designated by the other party through the bank.

This is just a small example.

Other bulky charges, such as the "social insurance premiums" that professionals basically have to pay, were collected by insurance offices in various places in the past, but now they have to be directly transferred to the accounts of the local "finance, government, and department" .

The "financial, administrative, and department" is responsible for collecting money, and then, according to the annual "budget" compiled by each unit below (after it can be approved), the money is sent to each department and unit.

The purpose of using money in a big circle "without bothering" is very clear, which is to restrict various units from spending money indiscriminately.

Your "budget" plan must be approved before you can draw money to your unit.In this way, some unreasonable expenditures, expenditures that cannot be put on the bright side, of course have to be "dramatically" cut off.

In short, once the above-mentioned new regulations are strictly implemented, the heads of all units will have to "tighten their belts" to live a "hard life".

Why do we only say that those "bosses" are going to have a hard time, but not the "soldiers" in various units?

Originally, in the era when there was a "small treasury", it was only used by the brains.What's the matter with the "little soldiers" below?

The "little soldiers" receive relatively fixed wages and bonuses.Whether there is a "small treasury" above, they will not be given any additional "benefits" for them.

Therefore, the "little soldiers" did not feel any change at all.Only the heads of various units have the deepest feeling for such a big change!
That is also impossible.

The general trend is difficult to defy.

What about the others?Zhong Ren may not know.All he knows is that those "connections" he knows, those characters who can be called "one promise" in various units, now want to "chaotically" spend some money, it is also subject to a lot of restrictions and becomes difficult Incomparable.

Especially when using money from the unit to publish some advertisements for Zhong Ren's "sub-newspaper", it is impossible for these expenditure "budgets" to be put on the surface, and it is impossible to pass the approval of relevant departments.

Strictly speaking, do you say it is "illegal" to use public money for advertising?It can't be said to be "violating the law".It doesn't even count as a "violation of the rules".

After all, during the whole process, no one collected "public funds" into their personal pockets.

But even if it does not violate the regulations, it can be included in the list of "extravagance and waste".For example, if your unit wants to "attract investment" and use public funds to receive businessmen, this is definitely not against the rules.

But if you use the financial resources of the whole unit to pack a "package" for Russian space travel to entertain customers in order to express goodwill to customers, then this is too "extravagant and wasteful"... It is too "extravagant and wasteful" to review your plan at the higher level When it comes to "budgeting", such an "expenditure" budget is absolutely difficult to pass.

Just because he understood the truth behind this, [-]% of Zhong Ren's "connections" suddenly became "silent".There is no way to help Zhong Ren from time to time and publish some "advertisements" on the page he designated.

Therefore, the consequence is very direct, that is, Zhong Ren's income suddenly "dropped".

It's impossible not to drop sharply, the advertising sponsorship doesn't even have a "fraction" that he got in the future, and the "commission" he gets is even more pitiful.

Zhong Ren's most intuitive feeling is that even if the pressure brought on by his eldest son's admission to the "intensive care unit" was not as great as the pressure on his old wife to "recover from illness" at home now.

The feeling is so intuitive.

After all, there were a lot of advertisements at the beginning, and the commission was also very generous.Now that there are fewer advertisements, how much "commission" can I get?
Even if a "nursing worker" is hired to take care of the sick wife now, the cost is actually much lower than when the eldest son was in the "intensive care unit".

If it weren't for the fact that the work and career of the two sons are on the "right track", and they can also provide financial support from time to time, Zhong Ren's life will be even more difficult!Now at least it can barely sustain it.

Just because he felt that life was becoming more and more difficult, Zhong Ren began to "think about change when you are poor".

Others that are too obvious belong to the money-making channels of "using power for personal gain", and Zhong Ren is definitely unwilling to touch them.

After thinking about it, he picked and picked, and finally let him pick a money-making channel that didn't seem to be too violating the principle.

That is, because of the large sales volume of the "sub-newspaper" he presided over, in order to be able to see the newspaper in various places in the province at the first time, it cannot all be printed by the newspaper printing factory in the "second-tier city" for dozens of copies. Millions of newspapers are spent, and then truckloads of vehicles are distributed and delivered to various places.

In this way, too much time is wasted.

If it is closer to a "second-tier city", the "sub-newspaper" can be printed by the "newspaper printing factory", and then distributed and sent by car ("sub-news" has long stopped sending newspapers to subscribers through the "post office" Yes. After all, the postage is a huge expense if the newspaper is delivered through the post office).

And in some cities that are too far away from the newspaper printing factories in the "second-tier cities", if you want to print the "sub-newspaper" and then drive there, the time spent in transportation will be more than 8 hours.After being transported, it is distributed to the subscribers. The "today" newspapers will not reach the bookers until "tomorrow".

As early as when Zhong Ren had a little savings, he partnered with some friends to open a "small printing factory" in the subordinate city with the most subscriptions to "sub-newspapers" in the local area.

Now Zhong Ren's idea is to hand over the printing task of more than [-] copies of "Contemporary Life Evening News" in that subordinate city to the "small printing factory" jointly established by himself and his friends to print.

That's a fixed printing quantity of more than 10,000 copies every day.Although the profit from printing each "sub-newspaper" is only a mere ten cents, it cannot support the large number.If [-]+ copies are printed every day, the profit will be tens of thousands to several thousand yuan.

Even if he "shares" with his friends, Zhong Ren can earn several thousand more, nearly ten thousand yuan a day.After a month, not to mention too much, it is easy to earn 10,000+ yuan more.

In addition, when the printing capacity of the "small printing factory" in the subordinate city can keep up, it can also take over the printing task of the "sub-newsletter" in the adjacent city.

In this way, you can steadily develop a larger printing business volume.
