The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

My father consulted a lawyer, who said that he might be able to get more compensation if he sued, but he couldn't afford the money for a lawsuit. Besides, it wasn't certain that he would get more compensation if he sued. My father said, "They are from the city, so they have many options. Look, the certificate issued by the hospital said that two bones were broken, but the forensic disability assessment said that the film clearly showed that four bones were broken."

The mother had to stay in the hospital, and the father was taking care of her. The little boy had to walk three or four miles to go to school alone. He didn't change his clothes or shoes for several days, and he was as dirty as a mud man. After learning about the boy's situation, the school director consulted the boy's parents and decided to take the boy to live in the school for a period of time.

During these days, the little boy was surrounded by four teachers in the classroom dormitory.

(Players) take turns to "take care of" him, first forcing him to finish his homework; if he finishes his homework, they will see which teacher is free to help him do something else.

Some players choose to play the built-in mini-games in the game and call the little boy to play the Subor game with them; some players take the little boy to the hospital to see the child’s parents, understand the family situation, and make a home visit.

At the end of the composition, the little boy wrote: "The teachers here are different from the previous teachers. They are like my parents..."

Many children also wrote down their wishes. Some wanted to get an Ultraman storybook, some wanted to eat a birthday cake,

Some people want to get a new schoolbag, some people want to go to the zoo to see the old

Tiger, someone wants to get an English-Chinese dictionary. These wishes and the birthdays of the students will be recorded in the background. On the day before the birthday of these students, the player whose "employment unit" is xx school will

Received background prompts, reminding them to fulfill the small wishes of those small NPCs.

As the pens and papers in the classroom made rustling sounds, shouts were heard from the playground outside the classroom.

The students on the playground stood straight, staring at the dean (player) intently. The class they were about to take was the school's "School

This course is one of the most anticipated courses for boys and is also the most discussed course among non-player teachers in our school. Some people say that this is teaching children to "fight with bayonets", while others say that this is something learned from Japan.

The "Gun Kendo" is just a way of introducing some foreign specialty courses to improve the "international level" of our school.

After checking the students' protective gear, the dean first demonstrated the basic gun-holding posture and steps in front of the students, and then

He practiced several moves of "breakthrough, defense, attack, and deception" with clean and neat movements, and every detail revealed murderous intent. The students followed his movements carefully, although they were a little clumsy, but everyone tried their best to do their best. After practicing for a while, the director said:

"Very good! Very energetic! Now everyone can practice with each other in pairs."

Chapter 108: Lindentu is coming to preach corporate culture?

The construction site is surrounded by towering scaffolding and piles of building materials, the roar of machines and the shouts of workers, forming a busy and noisy scene. In the center of the construction site, project manager Lao Li is checking the progress of the construction with chief engineer Lao Zhang to ensure that every detail is going according to plan.

"Manager, the weather has been nice these past few days, so we can work overtime. Although we have to pay a little more for overtime, it's still much less than the cost of renting equipment and machinery."

"I'll talk to the boss, but he may not agree. You know, the boss is from a foreign country, and the workers there are lazy, so the boss also thinks that the workers can only work eight hours a day."

"These foreign workers are spoiled. No wonder they are said to be slacking off... To be honest, as long as they can be paid overtime, these workers are eager to work and have no problem working more than ten hours a day."

At this moment, a scream broke the noise of the construction site. It turned out that a worker was knocked down by something falling from a height. He fell straight to the ground with blood flowing from his head. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Quick! Call an ambulance!" the manager shouted, with a hint of

—A little panic, the machine is tied. The weight is about to burst out of the chest. Especially the fixed focus or feeling

The worker who was knocked down was not wearing a helmet.

I felt a chill, "Fuck, where's the safety director? Where's the safety officer? Why aren't they forced to wear helmets? Damn, call an ambulance first! If I get killed, I'll kill you, the safety director, first! If I go in, I'll definitely take the safety director with me!"

The person who was knocked to the ground was a young laborer in his early twenties. His face was pale, his eyes were dazed, and blood was oozing from the wound on his head. Manager Li squatted down and stood by the laborer, his voice trembling but he tried to stay calm: "Hold on, hold on! The ambulance will be here soon."

The laborer slightly opened his eyes, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only uttered a low moan. Li Jianguo's heart suddenly sank, and he began to pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky not to let out a murder. In other construction sites, the boss would tend to cover up if possible, and would not even think about paying compensation, and even if he did, he would be stingy. But based on his understanding of the boss's character...it's best not to let anyone die, otherwise the boss will most likely punish managers like him.

"Lao Zhang, hurry up! Help me carry him to the car, let's take him directly to the hospital!"

The car sped along the crowded road, but Li Jianguo's mood became heavier and heavier. When they arrived at the hospital gate, the manager and the chief engineer quickly lifted Xiao Liu out of the car and rushed into the emergency room. The doctors and nurses immediately took Xiao Liu to the hospital.

Liu took it and pushed it into the emergency room. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The two people waiting outside the door were filled with anxiety and uneasiness. Every second counted.

Like a century.

"Manager, now, should we call the boss and report the situation......"

Lao Li took a few deep breaths and dialed the phone. The boss (player) on the other end of the phone did not curse, but said calmly:

"Okay, I understand. I'll come right over..." the boss said calmly.

The response was even more terrifying than the curse. The manager was uneasy and called the security director again, then said calmly: "Get out of here!"

Come to the hospital, now!"

Time passed by, and the door of the emergency room finally opened. The doctor came out with a serious face, but he said comfortingly: "The patient

He is no longer in danger of death, but he still needs further observation and treatment."

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much. Phew..." The manager took a long breath and turned to the chief engineer beside him and said, "That's great.

I now have some confidence, otherwise I really don’t know how I would face my boss. If someone dies, it will never be solved by just one move.”

The project was suddenly suspended. It was said that the boss was very angry. Many leaders on the project never came again. Some people said that they went to jail. In addition, almost all the project sites of Huanyu Group were suspended for safety rectification. They said that if the safety was not rectified, they would rather not start the project. If they did not start the project, everyone would only get the basic salary. What if I quit and go to another construction site? Then we can only say "it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality".

When working for Universal Group, you live in a four-person dormitory with air conditioning, rather than a large dormitory with dozens of people in one room.

The food was good, with fish, meat, and milk, and they were all fresh. In contrast, most other construction sites would just add some potatoes, cabbage, and some meat to celebrate the festival. After eating such a meal, you would get hungry very quickly. Sometimes the food was not enough, and you had to ask the chef to prepare more food.

The migrant workers came up with many ways to get more food. Some people made a small hole in the bottom of the bowl so that the soup would leak out when they were eating. This way, they could get more food in the bowl.

Prepare meals.

In order to save money, the unsold vegetables in the wholesale market are the best choice for the canteen owners at the construction sites. The staple food is often "migrant workers' rice".

It's called "migrant workers' rice". It's yellow in color and moldy in taste, but cheap. Due to its most critical label of "cheap", it's not only construction sites that purchase "migrant workers' rice", but many school canteens also come here to purchase it.

In addition to rice, the same is true for meat. It is common for migrant workers to eat stinky meat. Sometimes when the canteen's refrigerator is broken, the canteen will add a lot of salt to the meat. When they need to fry the meat, they will use a little salt. Every time they eat it, it always has a stinky smell. Migrant workers often say: "We are not afraid of working hard, but we are afraid of getting sick. When that happens, not only will we suffer, but we won't even earn enough to go to the hospital."

Sometimes, migrant workers would say to the construction site canteens with great pity: "You can sell us food at a higher price or with smaller portions, but please don't sell us rotten meat, okay?" However, the answer they got was: "If you want to eat it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, forget it."

Can migrant workers choose not to eat in the canteen?

In this environment, they do not have the conditions to cook for themselves, and many construction sites also force migrant workers to eat in the canteen. They can only pay living expenses in exchange for

The meal tickets were used to eat at the construction site. Just like the children in school, they had no choice but to eat the "pig food" sold in the cafeteria.

In short, it's the same as working, but working for Universal Group means living well, eating well, and dressing well, and being like a human being. No one would quit just because of a temporary stoppage of work, because that would only make the coworkers laugh to death, because

There is still a long queue of people who want to work for the Universal Group. Moreover, as the boss said: "Once an accident happens, others will sleep with your wife, beat your children, and spend your pension! Working safety is for you.

Own!"

As things have developed to this point, for most of the migrant workers working for the Universal Group, especially when the workers know that the second half of their lives will not be

When a laborer who was unable to do heavy physical work was hired back by the boss as a security guard, the boss also said that as long as the Universal Group exists, he will definitely give him a job to support himself. They generally think: "The boss is kind and righteous! He is a great man!" "The boss is good to us, we are devoted to him and work hard for him!"

"Don't be afraid to risk your life when working for your boss. If you do, your second half of life will be secure!"

An inexplicable emotion spread among the simple-minded migrant workers. By the end of 1997, the players who stayed in China and the United States suddenly received a notification from the Universal Group in the task bar.

“Task Description: Considering the chaos caused by the rapid expansion of the group in a short period of time, entrusted by Chairman Lin Dengwan, Group CEO Lin Dengtu will conduct a public lecture in the near future to spread our corporate culture to our corporate warriors and all employees of the group’s branches, unify their thoughts, and point out the direction of the company’s development.

Mission objective: Spread this public lecture to all employees (coverage rate 0%/100%)"

Chapter 109 What does Universal Group represent?

There is a cool moon in the sky, and the breeze brings a cool breeze.

As night fell, the workers finished their day's work and walked into the factory cafeteria in twos and threes. In the cafeteria, several long rows of tables and chairs were neatly arranged, the air was filled with the aroma of food, and the ceiling was

The ceiling fan on the board turned slowly, making a slight humming sound.

The workers found their seats and sat down, greeting each other and chatting about their experiences of the day. Everyone ate dinner while waiting for the upcoming speech by the leader.

There is a big TV in one corner of the cafeteria. In the past, the TV would show the most popular TV series and movies.

For example, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "A Better Tomorrow", "Terminator 2", "Jurassic Park" and so on. But today, the boss's boss is going to speak on TV, saying that Uni-President Group

The top-down thinking points out the direction of enterprise development.

The workers are thinking, what does this "high-end" thing have to do with me? But the boss gives us good treatment, so we listen to the boss. Today we won't watch movies or TV series, but listen to what the boss says!

"Everyone, please be quiet. The lecture is about to begin." The originally noisy cafeteria suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the ceiling fan turning and occasional whispers.

"What kind of company is OneWorld? Are its goals consistent with those of other multinational corporations? How is it related to the famous trusts, cartels, syndicates, and concerns in history? How is it different from companies like United Fruit? If we don't clarify this question, our business will easily deviate from the correct path, or even go against it."

Before the presentation to all employees of the group's branches, Lindenwan, Lindentu and other board members held meetings to discuss the matter several times. The group's goal is undoubtedly to revive "our business" around the world. Just looking at the name of the group, you can tell that this goal is written into the group's general charter. However, during the group's development, except for the corporate warriors (players) who came directly from the group's headquarters and could perform the tasks from the group well, most of the employees of other branches did not understand the group's development concept very well. They still regarded the Universal Group as an ordinary multinational company, but with a unique style.

Without understanding the overall development goals of the group, it is impossible to implement the group's development concept well in actual work and put it into practice.

If the group's general charter is clearly displayed to all employees, it is hard to say that it will not cause more harm than good.

It may lead to two situations. First, some employees are inspired by radical goals and become radical themselves. They can't wait to raise the banner when the conditions are not yet ripe. This will only bring about the most brutal blow in advance. Second, some employees are scared off by radical goals. The reason is very simple. They are not prepared to risk their lives. They want to live, which is human nature.

“When we formulate propaganda slogans, we should carefully study various aspects and clearly observe the demands and needs of the masses. We must not just rely on our imaginations to arbitrarily formulate propaganda slogans that do not truly represent the demands of the masses or even go against their demands. Such slogans are powerless and ineffective among the masses and cannot appeal to them at all.”

Lindenwan said at the board meeting.

"We should use a lot of real materials to observe the actual situation, go among the masses, and understand the life and emotions of all parts of the masses. We must not simply judge the demands and emotions of the entire masses based on the special expressions of a certain part of the masses' consciousness or the angry or pessimistic reports of individual opinion leaders. Slogans should be put forward appropriately, not too early, otherwise the masses will not accept them or will be suspicious, or even scare them away. They should not be too late, otherwise the masses' morale will be low or the masses will take action on their own, making the actions inconsistent and chaotic."

After everyone brainstormed, they finally decided on a relatively compromising slogan to be used as the current corporate philosophy of the Universal Group.

"Huanyu Group represents the development requirements of advanced productivity!"

Lindenwan mentioned in his speech that the group values ​​long-term interests rather than short-term interests. The development of each branch and the survival of the group depend on the continuous expansion of market share and the mastery of core competitiveness.

The idea of ​​"making do" and "making do" is to say that the quality of products is related to the survival of the enterprise. Anyone who has a crooked mind on this matter will be punished by the world group.

The quality problems in the early stage of the operation of the branch in Lin Changbei Ping, as well as the problems in the Guangzhou branch

For the safety production problems that occurred, the relevant managers have already received the maximum penalty.

Closely related to advanced productivity is the pursuit of core technology by Universal Group. Lindenwan said that the company disdains to use internal circulation.

How can we improve production efficiency by using slavery? If there is no advanced productivity, then slavery must be widely used in this world.

Only technological advantages can build a real "moat". Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and they are the concentrated embodiment and main symbol of advanced productive forces.

"The Universal Group represents the direction of advanced culture!"

Profit is the foundation of an enterprise's survival and development, but an enterprise that attaches great importance to profit will not be able to survive in the long run. Universal Group believes that enterprises need to shoulder social responsibilities, and economic development is unimaginable without social progress. Therefore, the company will also support various public welfare undertakings and participate in community construction to enhance the brand influence of Universal Group, so that the majority of consumers will first leave a good impression of us in their hearts, and then trust our services and products.

"Huayu Group represents the interests of the majority of employees!"

The company believes that employees are the most valuable asset of the company. Without the hard work of employees, there would be no company today and tomorrow. The company will also invest in the present and future of each employee and train employees according to their entire life cycle. Employees should develop in sync with the company, just like comrades and partners who support each other, trust each other and have a place for each other in the bright future, just like the ancients once said, "A wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be abandoned."

In his speech, Lindentu also quoted a great man who said, "The people, and only the people, are the driving force behind the creation of world history." The Universal Group must rely on the wisdom and strength of every employee to drive the enterprise forward. Therefore, the Universal Group must relieve employees of the burden of food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care, education, etc., and give them the hope that "hard work will lead to success", so that employees can devote themselves to their work without distraction.

As the enterprise grows, our employees and the society we live in should benefit together. "Our Universal Group is like a seed, and the workers of various countries are like the land. When we arrive in a place, we must unite with the workers there, take root and blossom in the hearts of the people. We must be like seeds, taking root among the vast number of workers. When the enterprise continues to grow and prosper, we will not forget to give back to the land that nourishes our growth. Without fertile land, the life of the enterprise will wither; without the land where it takes root, the enterprise will surely be finished.

"call......"

"Is the speech over? Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Lindentu..."

"It's okay. It's just some lip service. Compared with those soldiers who risked their lives all over the world, my contribution is nothing. Oh, by the way, where is Comrade Lin Dengsheng? If I want to translate this speech into English, I need his help to look at some of the contents."

"Before leaving, Lin Dengsheng had already marked the parts to be revised and put them on your desk. He has been a bit busy recently. You know, he is running for Congress recently and needs to run many venues. Comrade Lin Dengsheng believes that there are always some things that are not so convenient or efficient for enterprises to do, so he decided to go into politics. In the capitalist world, nothing can achieve a more effective result than changing the United States. His plan has been discussed by the board of directors. Although there will be no great benefits in the short term, if he works hard in the long run...

"It's possible that he could enter the White House, right? (Details in "American Chapter")"

Chapter 110: Specialization, then globalization

Universal Group said it wanted to represent advanced productive forces, so what does it represent?

How to improve productivity? Some people say it depends on the size of the company, some say it depends on the company's signature, and some say it depends on the company's stock price. Unfortunately, Universal Group

Many companies under the group are not listed, such as a pressure cooker company that is regarded by many as having great potential. This company has made a name for itself with a "smart electric pressure cooker" and is listed as a typical case of technological cooperation between state-owned enterprises and foreign capital. Many people are looking forward to this pressure cooker company going public as soon as possible, including local governments, because once the company is successfully listed, their political achievements will also look much better.

Long before Lindenwan gave his speech, some managers, including those of the pressure cooker factory, had already been "ambitious". At that time, there was drive,

All thoughtful business managers hope that their companies can enter the "Fortune 500". Business managers are eager to expand.

For example, in the northeast region where the pressure cooker factory is located,

As the number of orders for smart electric pressure cookers in major Chinese cities and European and American countries increases, some corporate managers have repeatedly asked the directors of their branch offices to

Chairman Chen Gong proposed to expand acquisitions beyond the original plan. Local governments are also willing to promote this acquisition wave and leave more messed up state-owned enterprises to Huanyu Group.

However, the expansion of the pressure cooker company is very cautious. Even if it expands, it is in the field of home appliances and never engages in cross-border operations. As for the acquisition of enterprises in other industries, that is the business of the Universal Group and has nothing to do with the pressure cooker company.

However, many people think that the practices of the pressure cooker company, a "star enterprise" in Northeast China, are still too conservative, including companies from first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Their bosses said frankly: "We have entered the stage of capital operation, acquiring and merging companies, and then packaging and selling them. This can make more money than running the business itself, and it comes faster."

Even so-called "high-tech companies" invest very little in technology development, sometimes less than a few tenths of a percent of the company's total turnover. Many development expenses are used to "treat people for dinner, sing karaoke, buy golf memberships for the president, or use them in faster ways to make money, such as stock speculation, futures speculation, and real estate.

Amid the surging wave of expansion, there are only a handful of entrepreneurs willing to work hard and diligently on making a product.

Of course, there are also many companies that are talking about developing technology, including the various competitors that the pressure cooker company will soon encounter and the large companies in the home appliance industry. In the late 90s, Chinese domestic home appliance companies had defeated the multinational companies that had previously gained the upper hand by relying on brand advantages through price wars, and gained a huge market share. The morale and efficiency of the companies were at their best. To consolidate the market results, it is necessary to have core development capabilities in technology. At that time, all domestic home appliance companies were actually still some assembly factories, and the core components of various home appliances still needed to be imported from abroad. The core technologies of refrigerators, air conditioners and color TVs were controlled by Japanese and American companies.

In this era, promoting "making products 90% made in China" is a very loud slogan. In the late s, Haier, TCL, Changhong and others announced that they would set up "cutting-edge technology centers" in the United States, Europe, Japan and other places.
