Chapter 72

"Plan to clear out Workshop Two. We must prepare a clean and tidy workshop within a week at the latest."

The business license is being processed, the destination of the 501 Factory workers is still being counted, and various procedures are being carried out, but time is running out for Hu Wenhai.

"But we are short of manpower. The personnel department is still tallying the list of workers who will stay, and the files and data for the New Ke Company are being redone. Right now, everything requires manpower..."

The speaker was Hu Wenhai's distant cousin, Hu Hu. There was no need to talk about nepotism; at this point, if he didn't trust his own buddies, should he trust the old bureaucrats?

Hu Wenhai stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said decisively, "Then work while organizing the manpower. In any case, the progress here cannot be stopped. Once the personnel department confirms a worker's willingness, bring them over and get them to work!"

"That's fine. This morning, the personnel department has already cleared over a hundred files. I think forming a moving team would be enough."

"Alright, in the future, the workers of the New Ke Company will definitely be reorganized. Hu Zi, pay attention and see if there are any who can take the initiative to organize the work!"

"Don't worry, Brother Hai, I know what to do." Hu Hu nodded, understanding that Hu Wenhai was looking for talent to strengthen the grassroots cadres.

From the current trend, especially at the level of workshop directors, many have left. Some team leaders and foremen have also chosen to leave. With these vacancies, someone will have to step up. It's better to start paying attention now rather than be caught off guard later.

However, Hu Wenhai's current focus is not here. In fact, the first batch of equipment from the U.S. is about to arrive. Before the equipment arrives, the 501 Factory must be operational, or the equipment will just sit in Xiucheng Port.

But even in such a tight situation, he did not choose to act hastily. Instead, he proceeded methodically according to his plan.

After instructing Hu Hu to start clearing the workshop for the equipment, Hu Wenhai called his other buddy, Lu Daming, and they drove out of the 501 Factory gate.

Lu Daming had one good quality: he was tight-lipped and reserved. Hu Hu's personality complemented his, and although he wasn't particularly eloquent, he always carried out Hu Wenhai's orders with unwavering determination.

So Hu Wenhai sent Hu Hu to handle the project and kept Lu Daming to drive him. The car was Hu Wenhai's father, Hu Jiefang's Santana. Hu Jiefang was still the factory director of the 501 Factory and the New Ke Company, so the task of stabilizing the situation was left to him. Hu Wenhai, however, took his father's car for himself, leaving Hu Jiefang to fume.

But there was no help for it. With Hu Wenhai's success in the U.S., Hu Jiefang's status in the family had inevitably declined.

Not only Hu Jiefang, but Xiao Yeqin, who had already taken a leave of absence from the Optoelectronics Institute, also joined the New Ke Company as the "Chief Accountant," fully responsible for managing Hu Wenhai's finances.

Oh, and there was Xiao Yeqin's colleague from the Optoelectronics Institute, Bai Shi. The red dot sight project had benefited greatly from his help, otherwise, it wouldn't have been developed so quickly.

This time, in the rewards, Bai Shi became the director of the Optoelectronics Research Institute of the New Ke Company—temporarily a one-man show. Hu Wenhai had made it clear: the more people he could recruit, the higher his position would be. If he could recruit a few researchers, he would be a small boss. If he could recruit a few small bosses, he would be a big boss. If he could bring the entire Optoelectronics Institute over, he would be the director of the Optoelectronics Research Institute!

Bai Shi's family's economic situation had greatly improved thanks to the bonus Hu Wenhai had given him. The contrast was clear to his colleagues at the Optoelectronics Institute. Now, with Hu Wenhai's enthusiastic invitation to "dig the socialist wall," a group of researchers at the Optoelectronics Institute were in a state of unease.

Lu Daming drove Hu Wenhai out of the 501 Factory gate, heading straight for the city center train station. There were few cars and pedestrians on the road, which gave the newly licensed Lu Daming some room to maneuver. After a bumpy ride, they finally arrived at the train station.

Around 10:30 AM, a train from the capital entered Xiucheng Station, and a few passengers trickled out of the exit. Hu Wenhai scanned the crowd and spotted a man in his thirties from the south, wearing suspenders, a white shirt, a tie, and a yellow suit. He carried a sleek leather suitcase, and his clothes were perfectly wrinkle-free, a mystery given the long journey. His attire was clearly different from the others around him.

"Mr. Yu, this way!" Hu Wenhai waved his hand, and Mr. Yu, who had just exited the station, smiled and walked over enthusiastically.

"Mr. Hu, hello. This is my first time in Northeast China, and I didn't expect it to be so cold." Mr. Yu extended his hand, his voice tinged with a southern accent but still quite standard Mandarin. He did not underestimate Hu Wenhai because of his age, shaking his head and smiling, "I'm really sorry, the train was so delayed that Mr. Hu and the driver must have waited for a long time."

"Not at all, I've been eagerly awaiting Mr. Yu. Waiting a bit for the train is nothing. It's cold outside, let's get in the car quickly."

"Sure, let's go." Although Mr. Yu was clearly underdressed for the cold, his greetings and manners were impeccable, making people feel at ease.

"Da Ming, head to the factory guesthouse first," Hu Wenhai instructed, and even opened the car door for Mr. Yu.

"Mr. Yu, let's go to the factory guesthouse to settle in first, and then we can start work after you rest. What do you think?"

To Hu Wenhai's surprise, Mr. Yu's face turned serious, and he waved his hand, "Mr. Hu, from now on, you cannot call me Mr. Yu. If you want me to train your subordinates, you must establish my authority. Please call me Professor Yu Shiwai or Dr. Yu Shiwai. Secondly, I cannot wait to rest before starting work because my work has already begun. I must observe my trainees to train them purposefully. Not all principles are suitable for everyone, and the results you hope to achieve will influence the content of my lectures, so I have no time to rest."

"Oh, then let's follow Mr. Yu... Dr. Yu's instructions. We'll put your luggage in your room and then go meet the people you will train."

Indeed, the person Hu Wenhai personally came to pick up was none other than the famous Professor Yu Shiwai, known in university dorms in the future—please don't misunderstand, he is not an actor in Japanese adult films.

But the number of people watching Yu Shiwai's videos in university dorms in the future was not much less than those watching adult films. Well, at least before 2010, it was probably like that.

Yu Shiwai, originally from Xiaogan, Hubei, holds a Ph.D. in Public Decision-making from Nova Southeastern University in Florida, a Ph.D. in Business Management from Harvard University, and a postdoctoral degree in International Economics from Oxford University. He is a guest professor at many prestigious universities worldwide and is known as the "First Person in Chinese Management Education."

Cough, the above is Dr. Yu Shiwai's public title. However, Hu Wenhai felt that many people might have another label for him: "success coach."

Yes, Yu Shiwai is one of the pioneers of success coaching in China and is considered one of the more conscientious success coaches.

When Hu Wenhai first took on a management role, he also watched Yu Shiwai's lectures for a while. To be honest, although he was no longer easily swayed by emotional appeals, he still found some value in Yu Shiwai's videos.

Yu Shiwai's lectures are considered some of the more conscientious success coaching lectures because, besides motivational speeches, he also普及了商业社会的基本观念。

例如守时、契约精神、沟通与尊重、团队精神、执行力问题，余世维的视频没有太深奥的内容，案例其实有些也是倒果为因，不可能通过看视频就成为MBA，那是开玩笑。

但话说回来，对于八十年代的中国人来说，讲微观经济学、讲运营管理、市场营销，那才是拔苗助长。反而是这些掺着鸡汤的基础常识，才是人们亟待补充的内容。简单来说，余世维来到新科公司的任务，就是给这些工人洗脑和开阔视野。

用鸡汤激发他们对工作的激情和向往，培养基础的工作秩序，以及一些基础的管理理念。虽然说是“基础”，但对于连按件计酬都是新鲜事物的前国企员工来说，还是很有用处的。

而余世维授课中的各种高大上的案例，也足以给工人们制造一些动力，在工作中向这些被神话的案例学习。正所谓矫枉过正，只要培训之后在实际工作中能发挥出一两成的水平，胡文海就要笑醒了。

路大明开车载着胡文海和余世维先去了501厂招待所，把余世维的行李放到了房间里，然后三个人便马不停蹄地赶回了厂里。

在这一两个小时的时间里，胡虎已经找来了不少人在清理二车间的设备。然而当胡文海赶回来时，整个工程却已经陷入了停顿。

“怎么回事？”胡文海看向一片混乱的二车间门口，拦住一个工人询问道：“你们的队长呢？胡虎呢？怎么设备堆在门口，却没有人干活？”

However, to be honest, for the Chinese people of the 1980s, discussing microeconomics, operations management, and marketing would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Instead, these basic common-sense principles mixed with motivational speeches were what people needed to supplement. In simple terms, Yu Shiwai's task at the New Ke Company was to brainwash and broaden the horizons of these workers.

Using motivational speeches to ignite their passion and aspirations for work, cultivating basic work order, and some basic management concepts. Although these are "basic," they are still very useful for former state-owned enterprise employees who find piece-rate pay a novelty.

The various high-profile case studies in Yu Shiwai's lectures are also enough to give the workers some motivation to learn from these mythologized cases in their work. As the saying goes, overcorrection is better than undercorrection. If the training can help them perform at even 10-20% of the level in the case studies, Hu Wenhai would be overjoyed.

Lu Daming drove Hu Wenhai and Yu Shiwai to the 501 Factory guesthouse first, where they put Yu Shiwai's luggage in his room. Then, the three of them hurried back to the factory.

In the past one or two hours, Hu Hu had already gathered many people to clear the equipment in Workshop Two. However, when Hu Wenhai returned, the entire project had come to a standstill.

"What's going on?" Hu Wenhai looked at the chaotic entrance of Workshop Two and stopped a worker to ask, "Where is your team leader? Where is Hu Hu? Why is the equipment piled up at the door with no one working?"
