How do people describe an organization? It's called "a cup of tea, a cigarette, and a newspaper to read for a long time."
Design institutes are similar to agencies. Although everyone has some work under their name, these tasks can be completed in 20% of working hours. The remaining time is considered "spare time".
Of course, the premise is that the leader is not present.
Zeng Jiaxiong naturally knows what Liao Derong is referring to, and he also believes that what Liao Derong can do, he can also do. If we are all in the same design studio, who's ability is not known to each other?
The question he is more concerned about is what kind of reward he can get after doing these part-time jobs for Liao Derong, or for helping Liao Derong's company, whether it is two old hens or a barrel of camellia oil?
"In terms of remuneration, the company is very generous." Liao Derong did not let Zeng Jiaxiong struggle and gave the answer directly, "Manager Gao said that our design institute is a national unit, and he directly pays part-time engineers. I'm afraid it is not in line with the national standards.
Policies, if the superiors investigate, it will be difficult for everyone to explain."
"Actually..." Zeng Jiaxiong muttered in a low voice, but did not continue.
His original intention was to say that there are actually policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. As long as everyone keeps things secret, it's okay to get some rewards in private. But it's not appropriate to say this now, because it seems that Liao Derong has more to say.
Sure enough, Liao Derong laughed and said: "What Manager Gao means is that it is not convenient to give remuneration, but everyone has done something for them, so it should not violate their principles for them to give everyone some souvenirs."
"You mean, like those souvenirs you brought out?"
"Essentially the same."
“What do you mean essentially the same?”
"The company gives you souvenirs, but it's not a direct gift."
"Then how to deliver it?"
"Manager Gao said that everyone's situation is different from mine. I went directly to Cangtang and I could bring back the company's benefits directly. Everyone works in Ruizhang. If they drive the benefits
Sending it here would be troublesome, and it would be eye-catching and have a bad impact."
"Too……"
"So, the company will exchange the benefits given to everyone into vouchers. With the vouchers, everyone can go to the department store to buy these things by themselves, and buy whatever they like. Wouldn't it be simpler?"
"..."
Zeng Jiaxiong was speechless.
Isn’t this just giving out money?
Many elderly people recall the old state-owned enterprises and always talk about the various benefits provided by state-owned enterprises, such as charcoal in winter and watermelon in summer, and then complain that the current enterprises no longer provide these benefits.
In fact, in their memory, a very important stage is missing, that is, the stage when physical welfare is transformed into monetary welfare.
Things like charcoal and watermelon are very nice when I think back on them today, but they were not popular with everyone back then. For example, I was young and had strong firepower, so I didn’t need a fire, so these charcoals were superfluous to my family. For another example, my family
The couple both have work units, and each of them was given 100 kilograms of watermelon. How can they finish it?
What's more, the procurement of these benefits is handled by people from the administrative department. If these people have their hands in it, the benefits received by everyone will be reduced. And if these people's hearts are darker, they take kickbacks, buy a bunch of charcoal that cannot be burned, or have no money.
When the ripe watermelon comes back, do you want it or not?
So, someone asked me, can I not give up these charcoal and watermelon, and my employer can directly give me the money?
The system at that time did not allow payment of money.
Welfare is not money, so it can be paid.
Before the 1980s, the state had very strict control over enterprises. If they said they were not allowed to distribute money, no one would dare to distribute money. They could only distribute charcoal and watermelon.
In the 1980s, the country proposed to expand the autonomy of enterprises, and many things were not so strict. Therefore, various companies began to find ways to circumvent the policy. Things like vouchers were invented by people at that time.
The so-called vouchers are not money.
Really not, if you don’t believe me, look at my honest eyes.
Vouchers are benefits, equivalent to charcoal and watermelon. However, there are many kinds of charcoal, including pine wood, basswood, and sandalwood. Everyone has different tastes, and it’s not convenient for the factory to make the decision for everyone, right?
So, we converted 100 kilograms of charcoal into an amount and gave everyone vouchers. You can use the vouchers to go to designated stores to buy charcoal. You can only buy charcoal. Who wants to use the vouchers to buy sneakers for their children in the store?
The factory must severely criticize...
As soon as this practice appeared, it was immediately welcomed by all units. If any unit did not do this, the employees would mutter: Is the leader trying to get something famous? Is the leader receiving kickbacks from the charcoal factory?
After all the units turned the physical benefits into vouchers, everyone applauded: Isn’t this superfluous? Why don’t we just give out the money directly?
At this time, the country's policies have also become more relaxed. Units can decide on their own to issue bonuses and various subsidies. There is no need to use vouchers as a covert tool.
Time goes by, and after a few decades, everyone has forgotten this past event, and is muttering about why the workplace did not provide benefits, and thinking about how easy it was to burn the charcoal distributed back then, how sweet the watermelon was, etc. This can only be attributed to the weakness of human nature.

Zhou Xiaoyun asked Gao Fan to find foreign aid, but all Gao Fan could think of was to exploit the Chemical Engineering Design Institute. It was impossible to continue borrowing people from the Chemical Engineering Design Institute, but there was no problem in finding people to work privately in their "spare time."
In Gao Fan's humble opinion, it is only natural thing to find people to work and pay them. But Gao Yiping, Gu Kunquan and others stopped him, saying that paying money was not in compliance with the regulations. Once word got out, there would be trouble in the future.
endless.
In the end, everyone discussed a plan. Canghua Technology and Trade would find a department store in Ruizhang City and send a sum of money there in exchange for a batch of vouchers of different denominations. Then, everyone would work for Canghua Technology and Trade.
Living people receive vouchers based on their workload, and externally it is said to be benefits provided by the company. This is currently a gray area of policy, and leaders at all levels are inconvenient to say anything.
Liao Derong explained the conversion relationship between workload and vouchers to Zeng Jiaxiong. Zeng Jiaxiong looked happy and stood up to leave. Before he could go out, there was another knock on the door. Liao Derong went over to open the door and took a look.
But it was another colleague in the hospital.
Seeing Zeng Jiaxiong present, the colleague was a little embarrassed and said hello perfunctorily:
"Hey, Lao Zeng is here too."
"Hmm, I haven't seen Lao Liao for a long time. Come and have a chat. What, Lao Wang, do you have something to do with Lao Liao?"
"It's nothing. No, I just came to chat with Lao Liao."
"Oh, chatting is good, chatting is good, chatting is healthier, hahahaha."
