Chapter 318: A Lot of Work Needs to Be Done
In short, some people out of trust Zhang Ye, some people out to please Zhang Ye, for various purposes, more than 300 people voluntarily joined the new ministry.
There were no volunteers to fill in the remaining two hundred people. Zhang Ye did not expect that there would be a full five hundred people who were volunteers, so he started to draw lots.
After an hour, another two hundred people were drawn by lot. Some had no expression on their faces and accepted the reality; others were crying and feeling despair...
Zhang Ye had said everything he needed to say. He didn't want to say anything more and ordered someone to count the roster.
Today, the rosters of the four general managers are all in Zhang Ye's hands, which contains a total of two thousand people, nearly half of the staff of Lingbao Division. They will leave Lingbao Division forever.
As for whether all members will join the new department, Zhang Ye cannot guarantee it, because Zhang Ye allows them to find a better place, so it is still uncertain how many of the two thousand people will eventually join the new department.
"Mr. Wang, according to the roster notification, it is up to them to choose whether to go to the new department or leave Lingbao Division forever." Zhang Ye paused, "Any personnel on the roster will be given three days to hand over the work at hand. If they are willing Those who join the new department will gather at the North Campus of Lingbao Division in three days."
Lingbaosi North Campus, separated by several streets from Lingbaosi, was the branch of Lingbaosi during its heyday. As Lingbaosi gradually declined, the place has been abandoned, but it still belongs to Lingbaosi in name only.
After hearing this, everyone understood that the address of the new department was Lingbaosi North Campus.
"By the way, Chief Manager, does the new department have a name?" Chief Wang asked.
Zhang Ye pretended to be profound: "We will know when the time comes."
…
In other departments, some people may have already known that they were on the list. When they were notified, they just seemed a little lonely and handed over the work at hand; some people were surprised and shouted that they had given gifts to their bosses, how could they be on the list? Unwilling to accept the reality; some people hugged Mr. Wang and cried loudly, hoping to give him a chance...
All living things are different, but no one can stop the operation of Lingbaosi.
Three days later in the early morning, more than a thousand people came to the street of the North Campus of Lingbaosi on time. These were the people who were willing to join the new department. The remaining thousand people chose to leave Lingbaosi completely and make a living on their own.
The North Courtyard of Lingbaosi is not as deserted as imagined. It should have been renovated in the past few days. At least the facade looks very grand. There are two large stone lions at the door, a red door with gold rivets, and a plaque hanging on the lintel. It's just covered by a red cloth, so this must be the new department's sign.
More than a thousand people were either a little confused or a little hopeful. This is where they will work in the future.
At this time, Zhang Ye walked up the steps of the main entrance, turned around and looked at the more than a thousand people in front of him, and said in a loud voice: "I know that many people don't want to stand here. Everyone's hearts must be filled with unwillingness, anger, or... Disappointed, discouraged..."
"But I think that everyone is no worse than those in Lingbaosi. It's just that for some reasons, we have to leave Lingbaosi."
"I hope that everyone who walks into the door behind me can work hard to prove themselves, not only to make this manager think so, but also to make the entire fairy world think so - you are no worse than the people of Lingbaosi, and even, Much better!”
…
When everyone came here, they must feel a little inferior, thinking that they had been kicked out by Lingbaosi, and they were also holding back their anger. Zhang Ye's words completely aroused their anger, and they were all high-spirited and no longer as before. Decline.
"My subordinates are willing to do their best to serve the General Manager!"
After hearing everyone's words, Zhang Ye nodded with satisfaction, but he said: "You are not only serving me, but also serving yourself. I also said ugly words in front of me. Whenever someone lives a life, gives up on himself, or causes disaster. Once the new tribe is discovered, the new tribe will be expelled from the new tribe, or the new tribe will be abolished, and all the gentlemen will encourage each other..."
After Zhang Ye established the rules, he said: "Okay, no more nonsense, let's reveal the name of our new department!"
Zhang Ye reached out and waved his hand, and the red cloth covering the plaque slipped off, and the five large golden characters pierced everyone's eyes.
"Magical blacksmith shop!" Everyone was stunned on the spot.
"Isn't the name chosen by the manager himself very domineering?" Zhang Ye looked at the plaque with satisfaction.
Thousands of people present had strange expressions. Hey, who made you the general manager? Let’s give him some face. Then there was sparse applause: “What a good name. The general manager is a great talent!”
Zhang Ye, with his hands behind his back and high spirits, reappeared the sign of the Magical Blacksmith Shop. Zhang Ye was also declaring to the entire Nantianfu City that I am Zhang Ye, the Zhang Ye of the cultivation world; I am here, starting to conquer the heavens here!
The opening of the magical blacksmith shop once again aroused heated discussion in Nantianfu City.
"Have you heard that Lingbaosi has separated a magical blacksmith shop? This is the pace for big things."
"They are just a bunch of trash who were kicked out by Lingbaosi. They can do big things!"
"It's just that it was useless when I was in Lingbao Division. After leaving Lingbao Division, how can I compete with other Lingbao shops without the support of official orders!"
"If nothing else, let's just say that the Magic Blacksmith Shop has a bad reputation. It is poisonous and extremely poisonous. This Shennong is dead and waiting to close down."
"Thank you for testing the poison upstairs!"
…
Such news quickly reached Zhang Ye's ears, but he didn't react at all. He deserved to be looked down upon, because the current blacksmith shop did not have many advantages.
For example, if you become independent from Lingbao Division, you will no longer be able to enjoy official orders. This was also the original agreement with Mr. Souji.
Another example is that the blacksmith shop lacks top blacksmiths, at least a lot worse than Lingbaosi.
However, there are many advantages.
First of all, it will be independent from Lingbaosi and operate entirely in a commercial manner. Without the bureaucracy, the efficiency will definitely improve a lot.
Moreover, the blacksmith shop has absorbed many talents from Lingbaosi. Although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, it is still much more capable than those small shops.
Finally, Zhang Ye is still the general manager of Lingbaosi. With this halo, he can take care of the blacksmith shop and tide over the current difficulties.
Generally speaking, the current blacksmith shop is not as bad as others say, but it is not as bad as the previous one.
The blacksmith shop is in full swing, and everyone is very motivated. It seems that they have not been affected by the rumors outside. In fact, it is not that everyone is confident, but that the situation is no worse than now. As long as you work hard, every day will be better than yesterday. If they don't do anything, wouldn't it just prove that others say they are useless?
Everyone is not stupid, they are holding back a desperate energy, and this atmosphere also infects and inspires others.
When Zhang Ye was not at the blacksmith shop, Chief Wang was responsible for overall coordination. In fact, when Zhang Ye was there, he didn't do much because Chief Wang took care of everything in order.
Zhang Ye only relied on the influence of the general manager to bring a batch of private orders to the blacksmith shop every time he came. He saw that everything was developing in a good direction. However, not long after, the general manager held a high-level meeting again.
"General Manager, how is the development of the new department these days?" Lord General asked.
"Thanks to the efforts of the General Secretary of Labor, the blacksmith shop is in dire need, but it is developing in a good direction." Zhang Ye seemed quite proud. After all, the magical blacksmith shop is like his child. If he grows up well, he will naturally be happy as a parent. .
Mr. General Manager said "oh" and changed the topic: "Seeing that the General Manager is so busy, we can't help but don't do anything. Let's do this. The Commercial Department under the General Manager will be left to the Second General Manager for the time being. It can be regarded as a help. Chief Manager, please lighten the burden. What do you think, Second Manager?"
Zhang Ye was stunned for a long time. Is this helping? It is clearly weakening his own power. Zhang Ye vaguely understood that in recent days, through the influence of the commercial department under his jurisdiction, he had sent several small orders to the blacksmith shop, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the General Secretary.
This is indeed Zhang Ye's fault for not thinking carefully. After all, the blacksmith shop has become independent, and there are some things that need to be avoided. But those orders totaled only a few hundred pieces of low-grade innate spiritual treasures, and the blacksmith shop was nominally managed by the Lingbao Division, and they were all members of the same family. Isn't the Chief Secretary too stingy?
Moreover, the Director-General did not ask himself whether he agreed to hand over the Ministry of Commerce, but directly asked the Second Manager if he would accept it. This was too deceiving.
Zhang Ye was about to say something, but the second manager took it up and said, "My department is short of some people. It's been very busy recently, but I can share the worries of the senior manager. No matter how busy my subordinates are, they should help."
Seeing how he was so obedient after getting a bargain, Zhang Ye really wanted to slap him in the face.
"In that case, thank you, Second Manager..." As soon as Mr. General said this, he was interrupted by Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye said: "Master General Secretary, may I ask what mistake you made to take away my commercial department?"
There are some things that everyone needs to know in their hearts, and there is no need to bring them up on the table. This is a bureaucratic way of doing things. But Zhang Ye is not a bureaucrat, so he can't swallow this breath.
The second manager looked at Zhang Ye mockingly. After all, he was still too young.
The director-general had a deep look on his face, wondering why Zhang Ye was so ignorant. Since Zhang Ye wanted to speak clearly, let's talk about it on the table.
Mr. Souji said: "Recently, you took a few orders to the blacksmith shop, right?"
"I know you may think I'm stingy. You think there are only a few hundred low-grade innate spiritual treasures. Why should a family care about it?"
"Actually, this is a matter of principle. If the new department operates independently, it should be self-reliant and do good or bad. Lingbaosi will not take a piece of sky stone from it."
"But those orders belong to Lingbao Division, and the profits also belong to Lingbao Division. They belong to the vested interests of all blacksmiths. If you use this money to support the new department, what do the blacksmiths of Lingbao Division think?"
"You are not only the general manager of the new department, but also the general manager of Lingbao Division. Don't you think it is biased to do this?" Mr. General Secretary continued, "To put it nicely, this is to support the new department; to put it badly, , this is stealing!”
The words of Mr. General Secretary were very unpleasant, and he even used the word "steal". Zhang Ye understood that he was determined to take away his commercial department.
In fact, those orders were not taken from Lingbaosi's existing orders, but were recommended to the blacksmith shop based on their own influence. Moreover, Zhang Ye just wanted to help the blacksmith shop get through the initial difficulties, and he would not do so again later on.
But the rules were made by these big guys, and Zhang Ye couldn't play with them.
Zhang Ye thought about it and finally gave up the Ministry of Commerce, not only because he could not change the result, but also because it had some advantages. For example, Zhang Ye could have more time to participate in the work of the blacksmith shop.
The most important point is that Zhang Ye held his breath. When the Magical Blacksmith Shop surpassed Lingbaosi later, no one had any reason to say that the Blacksmith Shop relied on Lingbaosi!
