The factory does pay high wages.
If I just hold out a little longer, I'll be back to normal when my February salary comes in. At most, I'll just stop gambling altogether.
But they never expected that there would be such a thing as being fired.
Now, everyone was terrified.
"No, sir, we didn't do anything wrong. We just played a couple of games after get off work. Why are we being fired?"
According to the "Regulations on the Prohibition of Gambling in Beijing"
1. Those who participate in gambling will be fined or administratively detained by the public security authorities. The fine is usually between 50 and 500 yuan, and the administrative detention period may be between 5 and 15 days.
2. Those who organize gambling will be held criminally liable according to law. Depending on the circumstances and impact of the gambling, organizers may be sentenced to detention, imprisonment, or other penalties.
Director Wu first explained the law to everyone present, and then said, "I don't know if your factory manager will fire you, but I do know one thing: in a normal factory, it's unlikely that someone who has been detained will be detained, let alone in a motorcycle factory."
"No...no...sir..."
Some people still want to make excuses.
However, Director Wu waved his hand and had him taken away.
This incident naturally caused a sensation at the motorcycle factory.
For the first time, Wang Shouren, the factory director, lost his temper at a factory meeting, although it was a performative outburst.
"Good! Very good!" Wang Shouren's voice was so loud that it could be heard outside the conference room: "I've only been gone for a year, and you've all become so capable, huh? You can even gamble in the dorms now?"
Kui Datou's mouth was full of bitterness.
Originally, Wang Shouren wasn't usually so short-tempered. If outsiders set a trap and arrested people in the factory, most of the problem lay with the outsiders, and a good talking-to would suffice. But one person was indignant and said, "They can play around in the dormitory too, what's the big deal?" This directly enraged Wang Shouren.
“I think it’s because we pay you too much. Starting tomorrow, anyone who dares to gamble in the factory is fired immediately. This time, anyone caught will also be fired. My factory doesn’t need gamblers. If you dare to gamble today, will you dare to sell the stuff in my factory tomorrow? And that guy from earlier, pack your bags, you don’t need to come in tomorrow.”
The person who had just retorted was stunned, and immediately slammed his fist on the table: "Why?!"
Wang Shouren glanced at him: "Notify the logistics department and the security department to bring their weapons. Settle the wages of the logistics department guy today and get the hell out of here. If the security department guy keeps arguing, just pull out your weapons and take him down."
Ultimately, Wang Shouren's deterrent power was still the greatest.
The entire conference room fell silent.
Nobody wants to lose their job.
"Let me tell you, I, Wang Shouren, always do things my way. From today onwards, gambling is off-limits to me. I don't care if you gamble or not, or if you're addicted. Anyone who comes into my factory and touches this stuff, if I find out, they're fired immediately. Also, I'll draft an elimination mechanism, so everyone will have a chance to leave."
Everyone fell silent, terrified.
Who wants to leave this factory?
In 1980, the average wage in Beijing was only 700 yuan. This factory, however, paid more than 2,000 yuan for various jobs, and some even earned more than 3,000 yuan. Nobody wanted to give up such a good job.
And thinking back on it, it seems that none of us really have official positions.
"Kui Datou, Xu Weiwei, and Qin Jingru, stay. Everyone else, get out."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and immediately got up, ready to run away.
Then, Wang Shouren added, "Go back and have a good talk with your men. Remember, be gentle in your tone. If something happens to your men, don't expect to get away with it!"
Dayun Motorcycle Factory now has around 3,000 employees. It's not a huge factory, but it's not small either. The management team has already surpassed the 100-level mark.
The sight of a group of people rushing out of the conference room was quite striking.
Once they had all left, Wang Shouren calmed down.
He looked at the group and said, "Tell me what you've learned."
Kui Datou scratched his head, unsure of what to say.
"Should we establish a system to instill respect in them?" Xu Weiwei asked, puzzled.
“That’s one point,” Wang Shouren nodded. “There’s more.”
"Should we publicize the dangers of gambling? Should we strengthen education on this topic?" Qin Jingru added.
"Where's Da Tou?" Wang Shouren asked, looking at Kui Da Tou.
Kui Datou scratched his head: "Brother, I don't quite understand. I just feel like you're not talking about this."
Wang Shouren glanced at him; this seemingly simple-minded fellow actually had a really good intuition.
“As the factory grows, management can no longer be as precise in its communication down to the individual level as it used to be. It’s impossible for one person to clearly understand my ideas. For example, what I told them at the annual meeting this year—that they need to learn more, even if it’s not about the factory itself—do you think many people would listen?”
"Yes, but very few," Xu Weiwei said, adjusting her glasses.
“That’s the problem. Sending a document today telling them that gambling is not allowed won’t have much effect,” Wang Shouren continued. “Therefore, we need an emotional transmission. Tell them I’m angry. This transmission doesn’t go to every individual, but to the management. When it reaches those in management who have some power, they will amplify this emotion and pass it down.”
"Only then can a deterrent effect be achieved."
At this point, Wang Shouren took a deep breath, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it. "Now that the factory is getting bigger and bigger, I need to start training the management team. Da Tou, you need to keep a close eye on things and see if there are any promising talents among them. Also, you need to be careful about how you handle things now. Don't try to do everything yourself like before. That will exhaust you."
"But what if they don't do it properly?"
“Find some time to go down and take a look, do a spot check in a casual way. This year’s sales will continue to rise, and becoming a factory with 10,000 employees will only take a few months. I hope you will change your mindset as soon as possible.”
Wang Shouren only told Kui Datou and the others this, and didn't need to explain anything to Shen Yuanliang. Shen Yuanliang was a seasoned veteran, and he knew very well how to deal with subordinates and what their tactics were.
After giving his instructions, Wang Shouren returned to the factory director's office.
