The Hongqi Factory is a state-owned enterprise, and it is an old-fashioned iron rice bowl type state-owned enterprise. When the father retires, the son can take over, and the factory has to manage the workers for life.
From birth to death, they take care of everything, including work, medical care, and children's education. It's a one-stop service. If the Hongqi factory can continue to develop, the welfare will be comparable to the social welfare system in Europe and the United States. This system is so advanced.
However, with the increase in population, Hongqi Factory could no longer afford it. On the one hand, its economic benefits declined, and on the other hand, Hongqi Factory had to bear the employees' wages and medical expenses. Coupled with the problem of triangular debts, Hongqi Factory was directly dragged down.
There are already many people working for themselves at the Hongqi Factory, but is it so easy to find a job now?
The workers at the Hongqi Factory had little educational background. Most of them were junior high school graduates, with a small number of high school graduates. There were also some with bachelor's degrees, but they were all assigned from outside.
After all, the government used to assign jobs. Chen Fei's generation was like that. He was assigned a job after graduating from university, but he chose to work in the private sector simply to make a little extra money.
Chen Fei was envious of such a factory, but it did not conform to the laws of the market economy. Even the country could not do it, let alone a factory.
Chen Fei and Lin Meifang agreed and left. As soon as they walked out of the family quarters of the Hongqi Factory, they heard someone calling them.
He doesn't come here very often, so he doesn't know many people.
When he turned around and saw the other person coming towards him, Chen Fei remembered who the other person was.
"Du Li?" Chen Fei was a little surprised. This was a former classmate of his ex-wife's. Hongqi Factory had a kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school. High school students went to other schools. Chen Chen's mother was one of the few girls at Hongqi Factory who had completed high school.
The conflict between Chen Fei and his ex-wife was because of Chen Chen's mother. In the early days, everyone in the family hoped that Chen Chen's mother would marry a cadre in the factory, but in the end, Chen Fei got the upper hand.
However, he only took advantage of her temporarily and she eventually became his ex-wife.
"Long time no see." Du Li was wearing very ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and her face looked a little haggard. When she was young, she was also a beauty in the factory.
Chen Fei didn't meet the other party very often, but they could always talk to each other.
"Yes, long time no see!" Chen Fei was a little embarrassed.
Du Li had also played a role in his acquaintance with Chen Chen's mother, so she could barely be considered a matchmaker. When they were dating, Du Li often covered for Chen Fei and Chen Chen's mother.
It is obvious that the other party is having a hard time now. He no longer has the energy he used to have. It seems that life is difficult.
"How have you been these past few years?"
"Our factory is on the verge of bankruptcy. What else can we do? We're just hanging on by a thread, and everyone's busy trying to find connections," Du Li said with a wry smile. "I heard a boss has set his sights on our factory, but I'm not sure if it's true. Hey, I don't even know if we can pay salaries next month."
As long as Chen Fei's affairs go smoothly, Hongqi Factory will definitely be able to pay wages next month.
Fade Chen smiled and said, "Think positively, it will all pass!"
"You just think it's okay!" Du Li, who rarely found someone to talk to, suddenly opened up and said, "You don't know that our factory has only paid half of the salary since the year before last. I only got 100 yuan last month. Everyone has been making a fuss many times. Some young people, who can't help it, have been secretly stealing supplies from the factory and selling them. Everyone turned a blind eye."
As for quarreling, it was commonplace. Every night when the family gathered together, the residential area of the Hongqi Factory was dead silent, or everyone was cursing in the streets.
Chen Fei thought about it. After all, Lin Meili was an old lady. Although she could help him promote and recruit people, the old lady might not be without her own ideas.
"I remember you seemed to be a production team leader?"
"It's not worth much!" Du Li smiled bitterly.
Fade Chen nodded. "Are you free next time?"
Du Li said: "I am free every day now!"
But in fact, Du Li was feeling anxious. She had elderly parents, a husband, and children at home, and the whole family was crowded in an old house in the family quarters.
Her husband was very good and serious to her. When he couldn't make money in the factory, he went out to ride a tricycle, and that was how the family could barely make ends meet.
Fade Chen said, "I have something to talk to you about. Let's go out and talk."
Du Li didn't think much about it and followed Chen Fei into a restaurant. Du Li was obviously a little nervous. "Still eating."
"Please help me, I will treat you to a meal at least!" Chen Fei started to order food.
When Du Li saw that all the food Chen Fei ordered was expensive, she suddenly felt very nervous and felt like she was eating for free.
"That's enough, that's enough. How can I help you? There's no need to do this. Just stir-fry some vegetables."
Fade Chen shook his head and didn't respond. After ordering the dishes, he looked at Du Li and asked, "Do you want to make money?"
"Ah..." Du Li didn't understand at all, but making money was a no-brainer: "Of course I want to, I want to be crazy, but where can I make money? I just can't make any money!"
"Then I'll give you a chance!" Fade Chen said, "I've opened a factory and I'm looking to hire people. I'd like you to help me with this, but you have to do it secretly. Find a worker in your factory who you know well and has decent character. Talk to them secretly and ask them to follow my instructions."
"Are you the boss now?" Du Li looked at Chen Fei in confusion. You know, the reason why Lin Meifang's family was dissatisfied with Chen Fei was because they despised him for being poor.
"It's just a small factory. I've started my own business now!" Chen Fei said, "As for me, I hope you can mobilize everyone. You know what I mean, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, no problem!" Du Li said quickly, "Don't you know how everyone is going crazy from poverty? If you want to hire anyone, I'll hire as many as you want. Um... can I ask about the salary?"
"My factory pays by the piece. You have the skills and can pick it up quickly. It won't be a problem for you to earn one or two thousand a month!" Chen Fei said.
Du Li was dumbfounded. Last month, a skilled worker like her at the Red Flag Factory only received a salary of 100 yuan!
Chen Fei is willing to give one thousand!
Du Li didn't dare to think about two thousand, that was too much. Even if it was one thousand, she felt it was too much. Since she started working, she had never seen a job that paid one thousand a month.
Fade Chen said, "The people you recruit will be under your management in the future. You will be considered a member of the management team, and your salary will be increased by 200 per month!"
hiss!
Du Li stared at Chen Fei, her heart pounding but she immediately became worried that Chen Fei was bragging, as the salary was really too high.
"Are you serious? Chen Fei, don't lie to me. We are really penniless now. My family still owes foreign debts. Don't give me hope!" Du Li's eyes were red!
