Chapter 639: Eighty-seventh edition of "Dream of Red Mansions"(1/2)
In early May, what people in Sanshui County talked about most was not the seven or eight joint venture companies that had been listed one after another, but the six public toilets.
This is the case for ordinary people in Shengdou. They don't care much about national affairs and pay little attention to the county's decision-making. But when new gadgets appear around them, they will definitely talk about them.
The six flushing toilets are all located in prosperous areas of the city, all without spending any financial resources, and they are all beautiful.
And as long as people have seen and used it, they all know that such new toilets are donated and built by "Full Energy Enterprise" and "Huameifeng", and each one costs more than 10,000 yuan.
The designers are of course Huang Han and Luo Pengfei, the head of Sanshui County Architectural Design Institute. To be precise, Huang Han drew a sketch to explain the intention and use, and Luo Pengfei designed it himself.
Each toilet covers an area of fifty square meters and has two floors. The downstairs is the men's and women's toilets, and the upstairs is the manager's tool room, office, duty room, and rest room.
Everyone on earth knows how expensive houses in prosperous areas will be in later generations. With the development trend of Sanshui County, it is rushing to become a prefecture-level city.
Huang Han is confident that he can do it. He believes that by 2020, according to conservative estimates, the permanent population of Sanshui City will definitely exceed one million, and may reach 1.5 million or 2 million.
There can be accommodation and offices above the toilet, and managers might rush to take up their posts.
There is no need to wait more than thirty years later. It seems that the current Sanshui County is not an environmental sanitation management office. The ones who manage toilets and empty toilets belong to the "cleaning management office". People in Sanshui County habitually call it the "cleaning management office".
When the "cleaning office" took the toilet management standards drafted by Huang Han and asked hundreds of cleaners to compete to manage the six flush toilets, they became popular and everyone signed up to participate...
The jobs that everyone is vying for are the best to manage. After the six flush toilets were put into use, the sanitary conditions have become the benchmark for restrooms in the county.
"Full-force Enterprise" and "Huamei Style" have received rave reviews because the name and company profile of the donated company are written prominently on the wall at the door of the toilet.
If you sincerely do good deeds, you will not suffer any loss. The advertising effect, social benefits, and political capital harvest will be great, and many companies will be motivated.
Next, it will be much easier to implement the renovation of dry toilets. Many units have made high-profile announcements that they are willing to contribute to the hometown elders and donate funds to build new toilets.
This era is completely different from that of later generations. Even cats and dogs dare to pay fines.
There is no charge for flushing the toilets, and there are dedicated personnel to manage them.
People who use the toilet must consciously abide by the rules and regulations.
Those who are uncivilized and littering will be severely punished if caught by the administrator. Those who dare to be dishonest will be deducted directly, and the employer or parents will be asked to pay the fine and receive education.
Sometimes management without worrying about "human rights" can be simple and effective.
The people have become accustomed to the new rules of the new toilet, and they all abide by the rules consciously. If they accidentally pull the toilet outside, they will fetch water and flush it themselves.
Too many people would rather run an extra mile or two to use the flush toilets. They also joked that they were used to this place and couldn't even poop out in the dry toilets.
I believe that by the end of the year, Sanshui County will completely bid farewell to dry toilets, and the sanitary conditions will definitely rise to a higher level, even better than those in Shanghai, the provincial capital, and Hangzhou.
This is really not bragging. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the capital city of Shanghai still had too many dry toilets!
In the old city of the capital, residents line up to go to the toilet early in the morning, empty the spittoon, and the toilet is also a sight to behold!
The people of Sanshui County had been talking about the novel flushing toilet for more than half a month. Then the topic changed and everyone started talking about the seventy-two advertising light boxes on West Street.
Each light box is handmade, and the pictures are all creative. Each one can be called a work of art.
Not only the common people loved to see it, but leaders also took to the streets to appreciate it. Soon, leaders from the city and province came with their cadres to learn from the experience.
Three days later, a report about the advertising light box on West Street appeared on the evening news in Southern Jiangsu Province.
In less than a week, the brightly lit Sanshui County Pedestrian Street once again appeared on the CCTV news broadcast, reporting on these advertising light boxes that combine political correctness and commercial behavior.
Boss Kong saw the scene on the news broadcast.
By chance, the light box of the "Sunshine Brand" rice cooker appeared in the picture for three seconds, because the advertising picture was accompanied by the slogan "unwavering persistence in reform and opening up."
CCTV reporters must be of high standard. They certainly know that the "Sunshine Group" in Sanshui County is a joint venture, and that Taiwanese businessmen hold 51% of the shares and control it.
The "Sunshine Brand" rice cooker's advertisement and slogan "Insist on reform and opening up unwaveringly" appeared on the TV screen at the same time, which is of great significance!
Boss Kong knows the time slot of the news broadcast. All TV programs in China are broadcasts of CCTV's news broadcast, and the audience may be hundreds of millions.
He exclaimed that this advertisement was very cost-effective and regretted that he could not occupy all the advertising space on the pedestrian street.
Boss Kong also reflected on himself, because at that time he thought the coexistence of advertising images and slogans was a bit inappropriate.
However, Huang Han persisted and told him that national conditions are different and socialism with Chinese characteristics cannot be understood in a short time. It requires time to settle.
One day, the freedom that capitalism advocates will make them reap the consequences.
Those politicians in Wanwan are just copying what the United States does, and the current economic level is much stronger than that of mainland China.
Boss Kong was severely poisoned, and of course he refused to accept it. He believed that advocating freedom should be what every citizen should pursue tirelessly.
Huang Han told him that freedom is indeed precious, but pursuing freedom blindly and regarding it as the only bottom line of value will become liberal fundamentalism, which will backfire on human civilization.
Of course Boss Kong will not be convinced, because we have to wait until the new coronavirus appears in the world to know that the spread of liberalism will lead to death.
However, he reserved his opinions and came to seek common ground while reserving differences with Huang Han.
Now it seems that Huang Han undoubtedly did the right thing. If the light box advertisement did not have political propaganda, how could it be possible to appear on the News Network?
He has begun to admire Huang Han and believes that Huang Han, who is shrewd, capable and politically astute, has an unlimited future.
The pedestrian street has become brighter and more famous. Many out-of-towners who come to Sanshui County for business purposely stay overnight, even though they can go back on the same day, just to go shopping in the pedestrian street at night and see the bright night view.
There is another good place that is also a must-visit.
"Dream of Red Mansions" officially launched in May. Around the Spring Festival, only a few episodes were selected and aired as a pilot.
This classic TV series has an extraordinary influence, and the Grand View Garden in Sanshui County became famous as one of the filming locations.
Of course, light box advertisements cannot be erected in the Grand View Garden, as they will destroy the classical beauty, but you can light up red lanterns to create a festive atmosphere!
Sanshui County not only has a pedestrian street, the Grand View Garden where you can play, go sightseeing and shopping, but also the Dongyue Temple, which is as old as ever.
The snack night market in front of Dongyue Temple is crowded every day, because it used to be a night market spontaneously formed in the main factory area of "Huameifeng", and it was originally very popular.
Inviting three or two friends, serving a bowl of thirteen-flavored crayfish, drinking beer and bragging has become the favorite of many young people.
The Thirteen-Fragrance Crayfish is also extremely popular, and Sanshui County has become the originator and brand. There are countless self-employed people who come to learn from it, learn from it, and steal it.
Food stall night markets have also sprung up in southern Jiangsu Province, with too many stall owners advertising "Three Waters and Thirteen Fragrance Crayfish" to attract customers.
"Feng Brand Store" won't be polite if it takes advantage of the popularity of the hit drama "Dream of Red Mansions".
The promotional photos that Huang Han prepared two years ago were immediately posted in the window. They were hundreds of photos of the main actors of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew and Huang Han's team.
There will be no infringement of portrait rights, because Huang Han bought the right to use these photos at that time, but the main actors were penniless at that time.
The price Huang Han gave was much higher than the current price, and Bao Daichai was too embarrassed to take it at that time.
It was Huang Han who said that he was optimistic about their roles and believed that the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series would be a sensation across the country. The price given now would definitely be a bargain in the future, so they accepted the copyright fee.
Isn’t it a good deal? We’ll see the results in May 2087!
But Xiu'er, Yu'er, Zhang Yulan, Yu Qin and other senior executives hesitated!
Because society is developing at a rapid pace, the fashions of two or three years ago are now outdated and no longer produced.
For this reason, Xiu'er and Yu'er rushed back to Sanshui County to meet Huang Han to discuss the matter.
After six years of experience, the two of them are no longer Wu Xia Amon. They are both shrewd and capable strong women. They both have cars, and it is the most popular "Crown" car at the moment.
Xiu'er bought a large old house from the Republic of China in Shikumen, Shanghai, and Yu'er bought a courtyard house in the capital that dates back to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
Of course, this was all done by Huang Han to trick them. Huang Han not only encouraged them verbally, but also asked his mother to secretly give them an additional house purchase subsidy, 30,000 yuan per person.
The senior executives of "Fengpai Store" whose positions are second only to Zhang Fangfen cannot be treated badly. Their annual income is more than ten times that of ordinary employees in Sanshui County.
In 1987, the wages of employees in Sanshui County generally increased. Taking into account subsidies, bonuses, benefits, etc., the average annual income of an ordinary employee was between 800 and 1,200 yuan, which was higher than the standards of ordinary counties.
For example, "Huameifeng", "Full Force Enterprise", "Jianghe Shipbuilding Group", "Kuaizaifeng Electrical Equipment Factory" and other particularly profitable units, the income of ordinary employees is 1.5 times or even double the average level.
Huang Han does not practice egalitarianism. He once said publicly that since this is a job that everyone can do, the salary is destined to be impossible to be high.
If you want to earn a higher income, you must learn. If you can do what others cannot, your income should at least double!
Will the widening wage gap cause trouble?
There is no such worry, because the current wage standards are still stipulated by the state.
"Huamei Style", "Self-Strengthening Service Company", "Shijingcheng Hotel", etc., even for the lowest-paid jobs, you can get more than double the national salary.
Is it useful to refuse? If you go to the labor bureau to complain, you will be scolded by the staff there.
People will definitely say: "I don't get as much as you do, and you have only studied for a few years? Who can't do the work you are doing? The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!"
Of course, at present, the Huang Han family's industry will basically not have such embarrassing incidents.
Employees have hope. As long as they work hard and improve their technical skills, there will always be room for advancement for older employees.
Because the Huang Han family's industry is on the rise, a large number of workers are recruited every year, requiring more cadres and masters.
If you can become a master or a cadre, you will immediately receive a job salary, and you will receive at least twenty yuan more money that month.
Yu'er was in charge of the northern market and was normally based in the capital. She arrived in Shanghai by train and discussed with Xiu'er before deciding to return to Sanshui County to meet Huang Han.
They were not only planning to talk about advertising, but also many things. They wanted to hear Huang Han's advice.
Huang Han asked for leave again and talked with Xiu'er, Yu'er, Zhang Fangfen and Song Chunhua for more than two hours.
Then Xiu'er and Yu'er immediately called their managers to arrange the window display according to the original plan!
Although the fashion at that time was already outdated, these photos of the main actors of the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series still attracted too many people to talk when they appeared in the window.
Why is the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" always emphasized?
