The Magical Blacksmith

Chapter 317: Following the Miracle

Later, Zhang Ye and the General Secretary discussed the specific matters of the new department, and the abandoned Lingbao Division North Courtyard was set as the address of the new department. As for the name, the General Secretary said it didn't matter what it was called, as long as Zhang Ye was happy.

Because the new department needs to operate independently, the issue of income distribution is particularly important. Zhang Ye suggested: "Lingbao Division belongs to the official department and does not have to pay taxes. Although the new department also belongs to Lingbao Division, after all, it operates independently, so 20% of the tax will be paid." Turn it over to Lingbao Division."

Nantianfu's commercial tax rate is 20% of income. Zhang Ye was doing business under the banner of Lingbaosi, so it was impossible for Zhang Ye to make a profit, so he distributed profits to Lingbaosi in the name of taxes.

Only if the agreement is made now, there will be no trouble later. Otherwise, if the new department has achieved good results, Lingbao Division will definitely get jealous and get dirty.

However, Mr. General Secretary did not seem to be optimistic about this new department, and said generously: "It is not easy to establish a new department, so there is no need to distribute profits to Lingbao Division. I will explain this matter to Mr. Tianzun separately. It should not be a problem."

Zhang Ye looked weird, you don't want this, I hope you won't regret it.

Since they don't want the 20% of the income, Zhang Ye is also happy to hear it: "Thank you, Mr. Director."

In this way, the new department was finalized with Mr. General Secretary, and we were waiting for the official documents from Tianzun Mansion to start establishing it.

But before that, the General Secretary had not ordered a cessation of layoffs. The people on the roster would become the first batch of employees of the new department, and whether they would stay or leave at that time was entirely up to their own volition.

Except for Zhang Ye, several general managers gradually handed in their rosters, but Zhang Ye did not make any move and continued to do whatever he was supposed to do.

Zhang Ye's employees felt that the general manager was so awesome that they dared to openly defy the general manager's orders.

The employees under other general managers are a little envious. The general manager is a good general manager who thinks about the grassroots.

As for the second manager, he looked like he was watching a joke. Of course, he didn't know that Zhang Ye had already discussed new strategies with the chief manager, and thought that Zhang Ye was digging his own grave. Even the Chief Superintendent cannot bear the consequences of disobeying His Majesty's orders.

Two days later, the General Secretary reconvened the four general managers.

The Second Manager looked at Zhang Ye coldly. The deadline for the General Manager's order had passed. This high-level meeting was clearly intended to take action against the First Manager.

The third and fourth managers couldn't help but shake their heads. They thought that the chief manager was a talented person, but they never thought that he would go against the chief executive and seek death just after he took office.

After a while, the General Manager came belatedly, holding three rosters in his hands. These were the layoff lists submitted by the second, third, and fourth managers.

The lord general ordered everyone to sit down, and then said: "Lingbao Division's reduction of personnel has been approved by the lord general. The second, third, and fourth general managers have contributed a lot!"

The second, third, and fourth managers bowed their hands and bowed modestly. The second manager glanced at Zhang Ye sarcastically. The chief general praised the second, third, and fourth managers by name, but did not mention the first manager. It seems that Zhang Ye will end up very miserable!

When the Chief General said this, he handed the three rosters directly to Zhang Ye. The proud look on the second manager's face suddenly froze. What should Zhang Ye do with the rosters he had worked so hard to select?

At this time, the General Manager took out another official letter and handed it to Zhang Ye: "The General Manager's proposal has been highly praised by Lord Tianzun. This is an official document of approval."

The remaining three general managers worked hard to streamline the staff, but only received approval from Lord Tianzun; and the proposal of the first general manager received high praise from Lord Tianzun, which was not a half-star high rating.

The second manager was particularly confused. Did he miss something? He quickly asked: "May I ask Mr. General, what proposals does the Chief have?"

Mr. Souji was stunned: "Didn't the chief manager tell you?"

"No." The second manager became more and more confused.

"I thought the General Secretary would say that." Zhang Ye smiled harmlessly.

The General Manager understood what he was thinking. He pondered for a moment and announced directly: "It's like this. It is inevitable that Lingbao Division will lay off employees. However, the General Manager sympathized with his subordinates and suggested that a new department be established to accommodate these layoffs and retain the establishment, but no longer The Lingbao Division will allocate funds to allow them to operate on their own and be self-reliant..."

When the third and fourth managers heard this, they looked at Zhang Ye in amazement. They thought that the chief manager would lose completely in this confrontation. Unexpectedly, the chief manager had already taken action and used the new department to accept the layoffs. This move was very clever. .

Why do you say that? Because the second general manager worked hard and wanted to weaken the power of the first general manager on the pretext of layoffs, in the end, after working hard for so long, he all made a wedding dress for the first general manager. With one more department under the general manager, his influence will be much stronger.

Thinking of this, the third and fourth managers looked at the second manager with pity.

The second manager looked ferocious. As a person involved, he understood the serious relationship. No wonder the first manager had been indifferent in the past two days. It turned out that he had made such a move.

The second general manager was unwilling to give up. Even if a new department was to be established, why should it be put under the name of the first general manager? The second general manager wanted to compete, but he suddenly calmed down.

The profits from the overall operation of Lingbaosi are not enough to be distributed, and a department is split off. Do you still want to be self-reliant? Isn’t this seeking death?

The second manager understood that the new department was actually a hot potato, so he was no longer anxious. Instead, he looked at Zhang Ye with gloating. His current thoughts are similar to those of the General Secretary. Zhang Ye is playing with fire and burning himself.

The third and fourth general manager realized later and frowned slightly. The move made by the first general manager seemed very clever at first glance, but in fact it was a stupid move or even a dead game.

As for Zhang Ye, is it possible to bring the dead chessboard back to life? Based on the knowledge and judgment of the general managers, the possibility is almost zero.

The Chief General asked the other general managers for their opinions as usual. What else could the other general managers say? They pretended to be confused and even praised Zhang Ye fiercely.

In order to show his fairness, Mr. Souji also asked other general managers if anyone wanted to join the new department. Everyone shook their heads like rattles and refused to touch this hot potato.

"In this case, the affairs of the new department will be fully handed over to the general manager. Let's adjourn the meeting." Mr. General Secretary finally said.

When he came out of the general hall, the second general manager stopped Zhang Ye: "General Manager, I have something unclear, and I would like to ask the first general manager for advice."

Zhang Ye said: "But it doesn't matter."

The second manager pretended to be confused: "I stored a batch of beans at home, but they were improperly stored and sprouted due to moisture. Should I throw them away?"

Zhang Ye understood that the second manager was talking about beans on the surface, but in fact he was talking about the problems of Lingbao Company. The laid-off employees were just sprouted beans, and it was useless to sarcastically hold them in his hand.

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Congratulations to the second manager, you can eat fried bean sprouts."

The second manager was stunned and said unwillingly: "I am too old to be fried as bean sprouts."

Zhang Ye smiled again: "Then plant it in the ground and it will produce new beans next year."

The second manager wanted to slap himself in the face, why did he compare himself with beans, but he was riding a tiger, and he didn't want to fall behind, so he said: "But then I no longer want to eat beans?"

"Then grind it into tofu."

"Is the tofu spoiled?" The second manager's expression became more and more ferocious.

"Let's eat stinky tofu." Zhang Ye laughed, ended the conversation, and strode away, leaving only the second manager standing there with a pale face.

"Speak hard, let's see how you end up!" the second manager cursed viciously.

Within the Lingbao Company, the layoff scandal caused people to panic. Many people knew in advance that they were on the roster, and they were even more depressed. They just waited for the ultimatum to pack up and leave.

But somehow, news spread that the people on the roster were not laid off, but transferred to the new department.

Some people were skeptical, and some were surprised. The further we went, the more news there was about the establishment of a new ministry.

It turned out that the people on the roster were going to be fired, but the general manager sympathized with his subordinates and suggested the establishment of a new department. The new department carries out business and retains the immortal establishment, but it cannot get the funds from the Lingbao Division, so the new department personnel are self-reliant.

Some people are optimistic about it, and some are not optimistic about it, but those who are on the roster are still very grateful to Zhang Ye. If the general manager hadn't stepped forward, they would have been kicked out.

Although many people have skills, the competition in the fairy world is fierce and it is not always possible to find a suitable job. The new department established by the General Manager was able to retain its establishment, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes.

However, those who were not on the roster began to gossip: "Such a big Lingbaosi can't afford to support these wastes, and still wants to be self-reliant? Stop making trouble!"

"I don't think the general manager has any good intentions. He just wants to use these layoffs to gain some reputation. He doesn't really care about their life and death."

"In less than a month, the new ministry will be completed."

They can say anything, but those who are on the roster dare not speak out. After all, it is indeed difficult for the new department to develop without the financial support of Lingbao Division.

On this day, Zhang Ye summoned the staff of his departments. The five hundred layoffs still had to be laid off, but Zhang Ye did not force it, and emphasized volunteerism. Those who are willing to stay in Lingbao Division can stay, and those who are willing to go to the new department can leave.

Of course, Zhang Ye also briefly planned the future of the new department and threatened that the future treatment would be better than that of Lingbaosi.

Zhang Ye said a lot to his subordinates, but no one said anything. Although they were Zhang Ye's subordinates and did not dare to say that they would definitely die if they went to the new department, but if they went to start a business in the new department, they would not be as safe as they are now.

How could Zhang Ye not know what everyone was thinking? It seemed that his own thoughts were too simple, so he said: "The order from above is to reduce the number of 500 people. Since there are no volunteers, for the sake of fairness, let's draw lots."

Zhang Ye knew that most of his subordinates were hard-working and talented people, and it would be unfair to dismiss anyone. He decided by drawing lots whether to stay or leave, and no one complained.

When they heard that lots were going to be drawn, the subordinates looked a little ugly, but they also knew that it was inevitable. Knowing that other departments under the general manager were more violent, it was better to draw lots.

Everyone thanked the general manager. Depending on luck, it was a rare kind of fairness.

When Zhang Ye ordered someone to bring the lottery box, someone in the crowd said: "General manager, my father and son are willing to go to the new department."

Zhang Ye followed the sound and saw that this person he knew was Deacon Han, who had improved the Immortal Crossbow. He laughed at himself: "I hope the chief manager won't dislike the little old man's clumsiness."

Two days ago, Deacon Han wanted to sacrifice his position so that his son could stay in the R&D department, but now he wants to take his son with him to the new department?

Zhang Ye asked: "Deacon Han, are you sure you want father and son to be together?"

"My father and my son believe in the General Manager!" Deacon Han's voice was very loud, indicating that he was not trying to flatter him, and he thought so in his heart, otherwise he would not be so confident.

Since they believed in Zhang Ye, it was impossible for Zhang Ye not to believe in him, so he nodded: "Okay, you go out."

Deacon Han dragged his son out of the crowd and stood next to Zhang Ye.

At this time, another person said: "I also believe in the General Manager!"

Director Wang strode forward, causing everyone to exclaim. After all, Director Wang is at the level of a director. A boss who is only one level below the general manager is actually willing to go to the new department?

Zhang Ye looked at his guide and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Master Wang bowed and stood beside Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye looked at the people present: "Are there any volunteers?"

I don't know if they were influenced by Deacon Han and Master Wang, but more and more people raised their hands and volunteered to go to the new department.

After all, Zhang Ye went from a small apprentice to the position of the general manager in three or four months. His existence is a miracle and he is an idol of many people. There is no reason not to trust the general manager. He is worth following.
