Chapter 221 Soft Power
Lai Xiaoni, whose appetite was aroused, put on her small backpack and drove her electric scooter towards the food street.
Workers at pig farms, processing plants, and power stations who had just gotten off work also began looking for their favorite restaurants for dinner.
Somewhat different from ordinary residents in China, the proportion of families in Hongsavadi who cook at home is very small.
Especially for families where both husband and wife are working, cooking is a waste of energy and time.
All the restaurants outside are run by companies. The raw materials are no worse than those at home, and the hygiene is definitely better than many homes. In addition, due to the scale effect, the cost of restaurant dishes is lower than that at home, and the taste is also impeccable.
In this case, eating out becomes the first choice for most families .
Since Lai Xiaoni was traveling alone, she ordered a small portion of fried rice noodles at a restaurant, which was filled with eggs, shredded pork, green peppers and bean sprouts, and cost only 3 yuan per portion.
Sitting on the clean wooden dining table, she picked up the hollow stainless steel chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
Unlike ordinary fly restaurants, the restaurants in Hongsavadi are very spacious inside, with tables spaced far apart and a lot of single tables reserved.
Since various factories and farms adopt staggered get off work and rest hours, although there are many people in the food street at this time, there are no queues.
Generally speaking, if there is a long queue, it means that some restaurants are unable to attract customers, causing customers to prefer queuing up in restaurants with better service and better food.
In this case, the consulting company will inevitably intervene in the investigation.
Therefore, each restaurant pays great attention to service, hygiene, quality control and price.
If there is a sharp drop in customer flow for a week in a row, or the occupancy rate does not meet the standard, everyone in the restaurant will be investigated.
In Hongsavadi, the deterrent power of the three major groups is too strong, and employees are actually quite afraid of the company's punishment.
For the service industry, this performance-based operating model allows one to tell whether the service industry has capabilities or problems just by looking at its performance.
Although Lai Xiaoni feels that this is very utilitarian, as a business, the three major groups have indeed effectively stimulated the enthusiasm of employees.
After all, in this absolutely utilitarian model, capable people will quickly stand out, and there is no way to get promoted through seniority and nepotism.
Thanks to this model, many employees who feel they are open and honest are not afraid of their superiors and colleagues at all. Employees who are serious and responsible in their work are more likely to get promotions and rewards in this environment.
Since you can get promoted by working hard and being serious and responsible, all that empty talk about socializing will naturally become unimportant.
At first, Lai Xiaoni thought that this kind of corporate culture of the three major groups was just a fantasy and a pie in the sky in TV dramas.
But from what we have seen and heard along the way, the three major groups are indeed implementing this corporate culture.
In order to ensure that this corporate culture is implemented to the end, the current employee size of the three major groups' consulting companies, human resources review departments, and network data analysis departments has reached an astonishing 124,000 people.
This is equivalent to about 0.2% of Hongsavadi's population working in supervision, data analysis and personnel review.
Plus the secret assistance of the supercomputing system and the internal affairs department.
This has created such a unique corporate culture for the three major groups.
Lai Xiaoni put down her chopsticks, picked up the glass bottle of iced black tea and took a big sip. She looked up and saw that the TV in the restaurant was broadcasting a rock climbing competition .
She had no interest in sports, but after opening her laptop and connecting to the restaurant's signal, she found the TV series she had been watching these days.
This is a TV series shot by Hong Shavadi himself . The title of the drama is "New People in the Workplace". It is a situational drama about the daily work of a company.
The reason why she watched this was not because the show had very high ratings in Hongsavadi, but because the consultant behind the show was a consulting company of the three major groups.
In "New Humans in the Workplace", all the plots are adapted from real cases provided by consulting companies.
Therefore, this TV series is an essential career guide for anyone who wants to understand Hongsavadi or has just come to Hongsavadi to work.
Watch "New Humans in the Workplace" to learn about the three major groups in Hongsavadi. Lai Xiaoni was also told this shortcut by a Chinese immigrant during her travels.
In addition, there are TV series such as "High Mountain Rain Forest", "The Long River", "Pioneers", "Pure Operation", "Good Morning! Yangon!", "A Century of Storms in the Wulong River", and "Iron Wall".
These TV dramas are very well-made. They don't have too many love stories, but instead show the social changes, daily life, personal struggles, eradication of cancer, and battles of wits and courage in Hongsavadi.
Through these TV dramas, Lai Xiaoni now knows about the complicated gangs and warlords in the Golden Triangle.
We also know how much Hongsavady paid in the original purification operation (the TV series fabricated many tragic cases to create the difficulties and determination of Hongsavady).
Those cases seemed very real and brought tears to Lai Xiaoni's eyes.
In any case, when it comes to shaping characters and personalities, Hongsavadi's entertainment department is very professional. Their object of learning is Japan, not their weak neighbors in the north.
As the boss behind the scenes, Sapiens Company actually attaches great importance to this kind of cultural power and provides great support.
Currently, the three major groups all have their own TV stations, TV program production companies, social software, portals, film companies, theater companies, brokerage companies, broadcasting companies, music companies, animation companies and publishing houses.
In order to cope with foreign cultural invasions, the three major groups focused on cultivating their own cultural and entertainment practitioners and established a complete offensive and defensive system.
For example, TV series, movies, animation, music, literary works and the like have all been formed into professional studios. From creation to distribution, they must be carefully polished and improved, grasping every detail in order to create great works.
Therefore, the various domestic cultural works that can be seen on the Internet in Hongsavadi are actually excellent works that have been refined and carefully crafted.
The reason why Lai Xiaoni's impression of Hongsavadi has changed greatly is largely due to the subtle influence of these cultural works.
If Hongsavadi's cultural works are all "shit, piss and fart", "emotional dramas" with distorted values, and "divine dramas" that are crudely made, then the first impression it gives to foreigners will definitely not be very good.
It is precisely because of this rigorous, logical, and realistic style, Hongsavadi's cultural strength, coupled with its rapid economic development, that the locals have become more and more confident.
At least for now, the high welfare in Europe and the United States, as well as those empty and pretentious "slogans", do not have a strong appeal to the young generation in Hongsavadi.
The work of building a cultural core within the controlled area is treated by the Sapiens Company as a war, and the annual investment in it now amounts to more than 2 billion yuan.
Of course, this investment is not just a simple loss, but it also brings a lot of positive feedback and profits.
At least in Southeast Asia and East Asia, Hongsavadi's overall image has improved, and movies, TV series, animations, etc. have also earned a lot of box office and advertising fees.
If this special position is not occupied with all our strength, Europe, America, Japan and South Korea will definitely invade quickly and take this opportunity to smuggle some dyes in.
