I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

"Then, let me talk about it first." Lucien said, looking around at the participants in the conference room.

In addition to Lawrence, William, and Dalton, the three department leaders who must be present, there are also the main officials in charge of various projects under them. Everyone sits in a row, and everyone holds their own work reports in five copies— — Take one copy for yourself, one copy for Lucien, and one copy for each of the three leaders. In the era of handwriting without copying and pasting and one-click printing of multiple copies, just transcribing documents is already a lot of work.

Especially for the financial department, it is extremely unfriendly. Pie charts, line charts, and histograms are not things that can be drawn by hand. Besides, the data in their department is very large and the charts are very complicated. A lot of thought.

It would be nice if there was Office.This idea flashed through Lucien's head. The officials had a hard time writing documents, and he was not very happy to read the handwritten work reports all winter. The method is completely horizontal and vertical and the edge of the handwriting is blurred, which gives him a very informal sense of sight of a handwritten newspaper in elementary school.

However, Lucien just thought about it for a while. If he wants to develop products with office software functions in this world, he needs to overcome a lot of technical difficulties, and based on what Lucien saw and heard in the palace, the commonly used document formats are not used in office software. The demand and the application market are narrow, and it is difficult to recover the cost after the research is done.

So this thought flashed through Lucien's mind, and it didn't affect his opening speech at all.

Lucien first talked about the purpose and process of the meeting straight to the point, "Everyone has worked very hard during the past period, and we have also completed a lot of work and achieved some results. I believe that after this period of work, you have also discovered that, As a member of our Wilhelm County government, we cannot work alone, we must cooperate with each other, and the various departments coordinate and support each other, so that the whole can work better."

"So at today's meeting, each department will summarize and report on their work in the past period of time, and at the same time sort out and plan for next year's work."

Before the meeting, Lucien had read the departmental summaries of the leaders of the three departments in advance, so he briefly summarized the work of each department in a few words, so that everyone present could have a basic impression first.

"The civil construction department has completed a lot of construction work on roads and docks during this period, and it is only with their support that the newly-built processing plant can run smoothly. In addition, the relief office that cooperates with the church is also doing very well."

"Then the financial department, the most important project in the near future is the trade fair, and then there are the routine income and expenditure records, accounting and financial support, including many administrative maintenance tasks of the county government. They are also in charge."

"Then there is the rule of law department, which mainly focuses on the clearance of monsters and the establishment of a cordon, as well as some adjustments and improvements in the training and rectification of the security team and the dispute judgment process. William can talk about it in detail later, this is still quite important of."

Lucien looked at William, and William couldn't refuse, so he could only show a very approving expression.Fortunately, he was in charge of the training and rectification of the security team, and Sheld, who revised the year-end summary for him, was also an official in charge of adjudicating disputes over violations of law and discipline. In addition, William was already familiar with the lord's problem baby routine, so he did enough in advance Prepare.

Lucien nodded satisfied with William's response, "After each department has finished speaking, if you have any questions or suggestions, you can immediately raise them. Our problems should be discovered as soon as possible and resolved as soon as possible... Today's purpose is to summarize and reflect on what mistakes have been made in the work. Loopholes are normal, don't worry about me or your boss."

He paused as he spoke, as if he realized that in this class society, what he said was not convincing, and then said: "I licensed it as a lord, and today everyone can speak freely, no matter what you say, you will not be held accountable for offending and arrogating." crime."

"Of course, it's limited to work." Lucien added, jokingly, "If you get stabbed out for uttering wild words to His Majesty, then I don't care."

The others hurriedly said "Don't dare" when they heard the words, and felt more and more nervous while pinching their reports and summaries—after Lucien's winter report hell, they all felt that they had a little resistance to work reports, but As soon as Lucien's posture for the year-end meeting was put on, they immediately realized that this was completely different from the usual work report.

Lucien's next speech also proved their thoughts, "I arranged the time, and it's almost noon after the department summary is finished, let's take a break and have something to eat. Starting from the afternoon, Lawrence and I will be next door In the small meeting room, I will listen to the work report of your project alone. You should have written and prepared this, and we will judge your performance and ability based on your work results and understanding of the project..."

He paused for a while as he spoke, and after confirming that everyone in the conference room was listening to him carefully, he continued: "I also want to send a year-end report to the imperial capital. This year's situation is quite special. We don't have a consul to come Preside over the work, so the results of everyone's work will be directly reflected in my report and submitted to the imperial capital." Seeing the suddenly bright and expectant expressions of the officials, he nodded and said, "As everyone thought, so today's meeting You must take it seriously."

If the summary is well written and the report is good, promotion and salary increase are just around the corner.

"That's about all I want to say." Lucien leaned back on the back of his chair and looked down at the three of Lawrence sitting down. "Which department of yours will start reporting first?"

This report is also the last opportunity for everyone to make up lessons. If you were lazy before and only knew to finish the work in your hands, take advantage of this opportunity to temporarily hold the overall operation and project status of the county government. Lucien's random checks won't make him unsure.

Dalton and Lawrence looked at William, who had a bitter smile, and discussed with each other for a few seconds. Dalton resolutely stood up and became the first person to eat crabs.

"Then I'll start first."

The first one always leaves a deep impression on people. The results of the financial department during this period are blinding people’s eyes with real money. As an airborne soldier, Dalton’s lack of talent is a disadvantage. Focusing on money, he must demonstrate his ability as much as possible to suppress dissenting voices and gain a firm foothold among the officials of Velvet.

Dalton stood up and dragged a wooden board from the corner of the conference room—similar to the one Lawrence had used to confirm the performance sheets for the craftsmen, but larger, and put it on a stand with wheels for easy movement.

A thick stack of more than a dozen sheets of paper was fixed on the wooden board. Lucien visually estimated that each sheet was as big as two A3 sheets put together. Dalton turned the first blank sheet to the back, and used another The thick and thick handwriting reads [Velvet County Finance Department Year-End Work Report] and other words.

Well, this title was changed by Lucien for him.

Dalton said: "There will be a lot of figures and charts in our department. I am worried that everyone will not understand it just by listening, so I prepared this. I wrote the key points and charts so that everyone can see clearly."

The meeting room is not big, and there are not so many people participating. Such a large wooden board and such large characters are enough for everyone to see clearly.

Dalton turned the pages while talking. If anyone other than Lucien from the previous world looked at this operation and the layout design of each page on the wooden board, they would definitely not be able to help complaining, "Isn't this just a handmade version?" It’s low with PPT” and so on.

After all, this is really a manual version of the low-profile PPT.

The method of wooden boards was inspired by Lawrence, and the design idea of ​​each page above came from Lucien—the summary of each department is still very important, and it can be regarded as an internal display of results, Lucien It's impossible for them to let them play freely. The summary documents and presentation methods have to be reviewed by Lucien in advance, and the wording and sentence formats should be changed to adjust the structure. Only when there is no problem can they be used in the meeting.

If Dalton hadn't thought of using a large board, Lucien wouldn't have asked him to modify and simplify it to a format similar to PPT. Although Lucien personally felt that the year-end summary would lose his soul without PPT, his He tolerated paperwork like copying newspapers. As long as the display form of the year-end report meets his requirements of "clear communication, clear focus, and sufficient data", he will not insist on specifics.

The first item in the work report of the financial department is the trade fair. Doton gave the expenditure and income of the trade fair, and made a data chart by item and situation, and made a report on the sales of commodities, various tax revenues, and the proportion of capital inflows. analyzed.

"According to the sales situation of each type of commodity, we can see that the same wool products, the sales of woven products are obviously not as good as felt products, and the sales of woven products are concentrated in large-scale commodities such as blankets and carpets, trial-produced scarf gloves and other commodities Most of them are combined and sold as discounts."

"The reason for this situation has been discussed in an internal meeting of our department. The main reason is price and cost performance. Due to the craftsmanship, the price of wool scarf gloves is relatively high. The price of leather products has dropped due to assembly line production, so it is on sale. At the meeting, you can buy similar products made of fur at the same price as wool fabrics, but there is nearly double the gap between the two in terms of market prices.”

"What's more, the chambers of commerce we invited this time are all the chambers of commerce in the northern and eastern provinces that distribute goods in the north. The cold climate in the north makes the sales of woolen products not as good as felt products. Felt products are relatively more cost-effective and have more applications. Wider."

"Based on the above considerations, next year we will adjust the taxation of woolen products to further reduce the cost price of woolen products; in addition, we will try to develop new business routes and establish contacts with chambers of commerce in the central province and nearby southern regions. The market for woolen products will be larger." Dalton concluded, "In addition, we recommend that processing plants adjust the production direction of woolen products appropriately, increase the production proportion of felted products, and woolen products can be mainly made of blankets to improve production and quality."

Dalton selected and analyzed the various data of the fair in this way, and then turned another page to enter the next topic.

"Next, here is the financial statement we have sorted out for this quarter."

"In addition, we took stock of all the assets, liabilities, expenditures and revenues of the Wilvelde County Government, and tracked the basic budget data for the past few years and next year. You can look at the figures here, although the earnings for this quarter Very good, but the overall situation is still not very optimistic."

"Based on this data, we hope that you can carefully plan the use of funds in your project plans for the coming year. At present, the money in our hands seems to be a lot, but it is evenly distributed to the places where the money is needed-as you can see, it is actually very tight. of."

"In order to track and record expenditures more clearly, in the next period of time, we will gradually standardize work procedures such as fund applications and official reimbursement, and will provide you with detailed operation guidelines and application forms. Please cooperate with us at that time. "

"And... the next thing will be a relatively long-term task. Considering that the current bookkeeping method we use is prone to confusion and unclear accounts, we plan to gradually replace the new bookkeeping method for revenue and expenditure records. , This matter still needs to be communicated with the lord in more detail, and it is expected to be initially completed by the end of next year."

Doton didn't want to write the last point at first. After all, no matter how difficult the current bookkeeping method is, he has no better alternatives. As a result, when he was reporting to Lucien in the early stage, he didn't know which topic got distracted from this matter. Something happened, Lucien turned his head and took out a new bookkeeping method that "I read in the book, it seems that you can use it to study it yourself".

Dalton obediently took it back and studied it carefully, and found a few data records of old accounts for trial use. He found that although this new accounting method was a bit complicated and difficult to learn, it was really easy to use in account management.

hiss--

Look at him, he said that Lucien is a hidden big devil who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

But Lucien really has no humility in this matter. Although he exchanged the "Detailed Explanation of Double-Entry Bookkeeping" from the system, and then copied the content word by word from his head to paper, he copied it again and again. That is to say, I understand what this is and roughly what recording method, as for the deeper principle...

It is Dalton who is in charge of finances and not him. Dalton is the one who has to understand this book thoroughly before teaching his subordinates. As long as Lucien can understand the financial report that Dalton analyzes and submits, it will be fine.
