For eight consecutive days, everyone in Chengguan Town, H County, was stunned.
The newly arrived County Magistrate Zhang came up with a set of water-finding theories that were rumored to be the latest developed in the capital, and led a drilling team to dig six wells in one go.
As a result, six more water holes appeared in H County.
Firecrackers were set off in the county town for several days in a row.
Zhang Hongcheng's name is remembered by all the residents of Chengguan Town.
This young county magistrate is really good!
Old Yang Shuji walked around the newly dug wells with his hands behind his back all day long, with confusion and worry in his eyes - he was afraid that these wells would dry up in a few days.
Deputy County Mayor Liao Yuan, who originally thought that Zhang Hongcheng's arrival would not cause him any trouble, is now very busy.
The six newly added wellheads were easy to deal with, but the subsequent water distribution issues almost caused a fight between the directors of various streets in his office.
However, one of the wells was directly allocated to the county compound, allowing Zhang Hongcheng to finally take a bath after coming to H County.
In previous years, H County would hold the autumn harvest work meeting after October, but this year it was decided to hold it in advance on September 20th.
The county considered that it would be necessary to let Zhang Hongcheng get acquainted with the cadres of the four communes (now renamed townships) and towns as soon as possible to facilitate Zhang Hongcheng's next work.
Before the autumn harvest meeting, several people held several meetings.
The summary of this year's autumn harvest work and the general arrangements for next year will still be presided over by Yang Laoshuji. Zhang Hongcheng, who has just arrived, will only speak on issues related to cotton planting.
But at the meeting, Zhang Hongcheng smiled and took out a few pieces of paper.
"What is this?"
Geng Tongpeng looked at the papers in his hand in confusion, then turned his head to look at the other papers in Liao Yuan's hand next to him.
Deputy Secretary Zhou was wearing reading glasses and reading word by word, nodding his head constantly.
Secretary Yang had already looked at these pieces of paper before the meeting. He looked at everyone with a smile.
"Do you all remember when County Magistrate Zhang first arrived, he asked County Magistrate Liao to prepare for the labor export company?"
Jin Fengchun was the best writer among the group, and she was the first to understand the contents of the papers.
With a look of surprise on her face, she was the first to answer Old Shuji's question.
"Is this true?"
"Can our people be treated like this if they go there?"
Secretary Yang smiled and nodded at Zhang Hongcheng, asking him to explain to everyone.
"Let County Magistrate Zhang explain. He's quite familiar with the merchants and leaders in Pengcheng. This is the sample employment contract he negotiated with them before leaving the capital."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhang Hongcheng picked up one of the employment contracts and explained it to everyone one by one.
Originally, Zhang Hongcheng didn't want to start the labor import project so soon. He thought the best time would be after he had established a firm foothold in H County, but the timing now was too tempting.
Since the establishment of the Special Administrative Region two years ago, almost all the Hong Kong bosses who came to invest and build factories have made a lot of money, and some have even made back their capital.
As 1982 began, more Hong Kong capital flocked to Shenzhen, and many factory owners planned to expand their operations, leading to Shenzhen's first major labor shortage between May 1982 and April 1983.
According to Fatty's investigation, Hong Kong bosses during this period used real money to beg their employees to work overtime, overtime, and more overtime.
There have even been some historically rare situations, such as some migrant workers who were reluctant to give up their overtime pay and forced themselves to work shifts, which eventually led to accidents.
Near the labor market in Pengcheng that had just opened, the recruiters from various factories were more enthusiastic than those who recruited people for accommodation and transportation in later generations.
There are even some clever recruiters who sleep on the floor at the station and start snatching up space as soon as a busload of people arrives.
Later, it even developed to the point where the boss would gather people around a car and claim he would take care of all the people in the car, without caring how many of the people in the car were actually working.
In the first few years, the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone will definitely sign contracts when hiring workers, and the salary terms are quite good.
It was not until the late 1980s that more and more manufacturers began to refuse to sign contracts if possible.
These contract templates were negotiated by Zhang Hongcheng with several companies in Pengcheng before he left Beijing.
Xu, the former team leader of the Hong Kong Island Economic Group, is now working in the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone and has also agreed to provide guarantees for Zhang Hongcheng's contracts.
The treatment stipulated in the contract is much better than that of ordinary contracts. They only have one request - County Magistrate Zhang, please send the person to me as soon as possible! ! !
"A three-year contract includes food and lodging. The first month's guaranteed salary is 30 yuan, which increases to 40 yuan after a month. The rest is commission based on the piece."
Geng Tongpeng touched his head and grinned.
“That’s not bad treatment!”
Liao Yuan worked in civil affairs, and he was most concerned about the clauses regarding work-related injuries and vacations. Fortunately, Zhang Hongcheng had already considered this and had included it in the contract.
"Well, the annual leave is pretty good, and the work injury compensation is also okay..."
Zhang Hongcheng smiled and nodded. He thought to himself: In a few years, when a large number of laborers flock to the south, these conditions will no longer exist.
"I'm thinking of organizing a group of workers to go south at the end of the month. It's the off-season now anyway, so we can still work for three or four months."
"The company even said they would pay for the travel expenses and just wait for people to go."
At this time, Yang Laoshuji spoke again.
"H County is poor, with little farmland, little water, and few mineral resources. People don't have much money in their pockets. I think it's better to let them go out and earn some money so they can have a good New Year this year."
Jin Fengchun hesitated a little and pointed above her head.
