"Everyone is on his own." Cao Zhiqiang simply put down his knife and fork, "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't like to guess."

Xiang Dongfang took a deep breath and then said: "That's right, I just want to ask, does your company have a job suitable for me?"

"Oh?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "What job is suitable for you? Teacher Xiang, what do you mean? Could it be that you want to work in our unit?"

"Yes." Xiang Dongfang nodded, his expression became serious, and his speech began to flow smoothly.

"Well, you should know that I am currently studying for graduate school, but I will graduate from graduate school in about a year.

Once I graduate, if I can't stay here, I will go back to Nanjing.

So, I want to ask, does your company have any suitable job for me, and then let me work there?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang instantly understood what she meant.

To put it bluntly, I still want to stay in the capital.

During this period, the number of registered permanent residents in cities was overwhelming, and the number of registered permanent residents in Beijing was even more overwhelming.

If you could have a Beijing household registration, many people would be envious.

However, it is really difficult for outsiders to obtain a Beijing household registration.

Even if you come to Beijing to study at university, it is generally difficult to stay in the local area and obtain a Beijing household registration after graduation.

In fact, during this period, being admitted to Beijing University does not mean that you can stay after graduation.

Because in universities during this period, graduates were all allocated in a package, and this package allocation was somewhat coercive.

To put it simply, if a foreigner comes to Beijing to attend university, you will basically be asked to return to your place of origin to work after graduation and are not allowed to stay.

At most, if you have a rural registered permanent residence, you don’t have to go back to the countryside after graduating from college. You can take your dispatch certificate and go to the local city to find a job in an institution or state-owned enterprise.

Therefore, during this period, if you are admitted to a university in a certain city, you will definitely be able to stay in the city where the university is located. This is actually very difficult to do.

Especially the capital, which is already overpopulated at this time, makes it difficult for outsiders to stay, even if you are a college student.

Unless you can choose your own career, before graduation, contact a good unit in Beijing and let them take you in.

This good unit is limited to government agencies, public institutions, state-owned enterprises, joint ventures, and collective enterprises.

However, it is equally difficult for outsiders to find a place in government institutions or state-owned enterprises in the capital.

Because during this period, the government agencies and institutions in the capital, as well as state-owned enterprises, were already full and overstaffed. They were all looking for ways to streamline their staff, and few were willing to recruit new people.

Even if those units agree to recruit new people, they must first keep track of the locals who have returned to the capital.

Yes, in the capital at this time, there were a large number of educated youths who had gone to the countryside to join the army. Most of these young people born in the capital had not yet settled down, let alone outsiders, even if you were a college student.

Although Xiang Dongfang is one of the few graduate students in China at this time, it does not change the fact that she is an outsider.

Under normal circumstances, as soon as she graduates, she will immediately return to her hometown of Nanjing with a dispatch certificate, and then work in Nanjing in the unit specified on the dispatch certificate.

Yes, package allocation means that you don’t have to worry about not finding a job, but you don’t have the right to choose. You can go wherever it is arranged for you.

Unless you have the means to contact your next employer before the dispatch certificate is officially issued, you also need to convince the school to let you go to that employer.

Otherwise, you can only listen to the school's assignment.

Of course, Nanjing is not bad at this time and is also a big city, but compared with Beijing, it is still far behind.

Especially in terms of career prospects, how can Nanjing's development prospects be compared with those in Beijing?

In fact, if Xiang Dongfang didn't know Cao Zhiqiang and didn't know Cao Zhiqiang's specific identity and abilities, she might not have the extravagant hope of staying in the capital.

But she happens to be a caring person!

So after understanding Cao Zhiqiang's specific identity and energy, she began to think about joining Cao Zhiqiang's unit, and then stay in the capital in this way.

Xiang Dongfang had already inquired about the Hongguang Machinery Factory where Cao Zhiqiang worked, let alone the Hongguang Publishing House where he actually had the final say. It was a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Wei system.

Although they are both state-owned enterprises, they are not the same as state-owned enterprises.

The most typical place is that the immediate boss or the department directly under him is different.

For example, if an enterprise under the municipal government is controlled by the local government, it is a local government enterprise. For example, some soda plants directly under the Beijing City Government are local state-owned enterprises of this nature.

However, there are also some state-owned enterprises that are directly affiliated to Buwei. Such enterprises are not directly owned by local enterprises, nor are they under the jurisdiction of local governments. Instead, they require financial support from local governments.

For example, Hongguang Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy. This kind of enterprise is part of the Ministry Wei system.

In fact, if units like Hongguang Machinery Factory survive until the end of the 20th century without dying early, they will basically become state-owned enterprises.

In short, because Hongguang Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise belonging to the Ministry of Education, it can enjoy a higher level and higher benefits. The most obvious manifestation is that it has a collective household registration and a large number of employee and cadre quotas.

As a subsidiary of Hongguang Machinery Factory, Hongguang Publishing House also belongs to the Ministry of Education, but it is also a cultural institution. With a formal publishing license, it can be allocated more quotas for cadres and employees.

The cadres and employees here are not temporary contract workers without formal status, but have the status of cadres registered with the Personnel Bureau, and the status of workers registered with the Labor Bureau.

In fact, even if they are contract workers, as long as Hongguang Publishing House is willing, or as long as Cao Zhiqiang is willing, he can use the name of Hongguang Publishing House to turn those contract workers into regular workers. It is nothing more than asking them to register and send them to

The Labor Bureau just prepared the plan, but Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to do it.

Because once you become a worker who is officially registered with the Labor Bureau, it will be difficult to train.

Why was it difficult to reform state-owned enterprises in the early stage? The difficulty lay in the fact that workers’ status was too rigid. State-owned enterprises could not fire people at will, nor could they not pay wages.

Since they cannot be fired and their wages cannot be withheld, even if their bonuses are deducted, many people will unscrupulously be lazy and slip up, or even directly contradict the factory leaders.

Only those companies that are in trouble and have begun to be unable to pay wages will turn around.

For example, the reason why the Haier Group was able to successfully reform was not because of the high level of consciousness of the old employees of that factory. To put it bluntly, it was because the new Mr. Zhang was well-connected and capable, and he was able to get funds to reactivate the factory and re-invest it.

Those who have been unable to pay wages will be paid.

Everyone just wanted to be able to get their wages paid again, and they didn't want the factory to close down or lose their jobs, so they listened to Mr. Zhang and started to rebound from the bottom and work hard.

Otherwise, if there were many factories in difficulty and many leaders wanted to reform, why wouldn't other factories succeed?

In the same way, although Hongguang Publishing House can recruit regular workers, Cao Zhiqiang refuses to do so and only recruits contract workers.

Even though the comprehensive income of many of these contract workers is actually higher than the salary of ordinary regular workers at Hongguang Machinery Factory, they are not regular workers after all. They can terminate the contract at any time and fire these people at any time.

However, contract workers can only be used on people with low academic qualifications, not college students.

Because as soon as a college student graduates, he or she becomes a cadre, and his or her profile is assigned to the Personnel Bureau.

These college students whose files have long been managed by the Personnel Bureau, once they enter a state-owned enterprise or government institution, they will naturally have the status of a regular cadre. At most, they will be an intern cadre at the beginning, but the time of this intern cadre cannot exceed half a year.

And once cadres are recruited, they cannot be dismissed easily.

Not only that, once a graduate cadre like Xiang Dongfang enters a state-owned enterprise, she will naturally have to be given a Beijing household registration and even be assigned a house.

For example, when Chen Jiabang entered the Hongguang Machinery Factory as a cadre, he was given a collective household registration and was given a house.

Therefore, if Xiang Dongfang can enter the Hongguang Publishing House controlled by Cao Zhiqiang, with her status, she can stay in the capital and become a serious cadre with a household registration in the capital.
