"We don't need the workers yet. I discussed it with others and we decided to have the workers divided into early and late shifts. With the help of the machines, the output can be greatly increased."
The problem now is that there are a lot of documents to process in the office, and the phone keeps ringing. I might need to find someone to help me with the documents.
These supply and marketing cooperatives and Friendship Stores all called to ask for orders. Wang Jianmin originally wanted to go out and find these places to sign contracts, but because of the constant calls, he put it aside.
Fu Wan raised an eyebrow, realizing that she had made the right decision to come this time.
"Take a look at my sister-in-law. She has a high school education, so she should have no problem understanding documents."
Wang Jianmin had noticed Ye Lin and Chen Guifang earlier, and upon hearing Fu Wan's words, he immediately slapped his thigh.
This is truly like handing a pillow when you're about to fall asleep.
Seeing the timidity on Chen Guifang's face, Fu Wan still gave Wang Jianmin a few instructions.
“My sister-in-law hasn’t been to work for a long time, so it might take her a while to adjust. See if there are any female colleagues in management, and have her mentor her for a while.”
Wang Jianmin thought for a moment, "Our accountant is a woman, so why don't I let her take care of her?"
"Okay, you guys decide what to do."
Then Fu Wan remembered something else, "Does the factory have a canteen and dormitories?"
She hadn't really noticed before.
"Yes, we have them. There are canteens and dormitories, but the environment may be a bit basic. I don't know if this comrade can adapt."
When Chen Guifang heard that she was being talked about, she quickly nodded and replied, "I can adapt, no matter how hard or tiring it is."
Seeing this, Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you have someone take her to see a doctor?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jianmin went to the next cubicle and called over a woman, then introduced her to them: "This is our Accountant Xiao. I'll have her come along and take a look."
"After all, it's a women's dormitory, so I can't really go in there."
Fu Wan nodded, then turned to Chen Guifang and said, "Sister-in-law, you and Comrade Xiao go and take a look. If there are any problems, tell me later. Comrade Wang and I will go for a walk in the workshop."
For canned food production to go far, various problems in the workshop should not be underestimated.
So, besides bringing Chen Guifang over today, Fu Wan's main purpose was to check if there were any obvious problems in the workshop.
However, to her relief, she followed Wang Jianmin around and found that the workers were very quick and efficient, and everyone was wearing white work clothes and gloves. There were no flies or mosquitoes in the workshop, and it was basically spotless.
When Fu Wan finally arrived at the loading workshop, she saw Fu Ming and Jack. The two of them had joined the workers and were busy packing and sealing the canned goods.
Seeing this, Ye Lin quickly went over to help.
"That's good. The most important thing for our cannery is to pay attention to hygiene. I think we're doing quite well now, and we should keep it up."
Upon hearing Fu Wan's words, Wang Jianmin nodded in deep agreement.
"Don't worry, factory manager, I know about this."
After instructing her on hygiene, Fu Wan also made sure to check on the workers' welfare.
After all, if you want oxen to work, you have to feed them grass.
How much do workers earn in a month now?
Wang Jianmin thought for a moment and said, "The average worker in the workshop earns 30 yuan a month, but Lao Qian and I earn a little more, around 40 yuan a month."
Fu Wan glanced at the workers who were constantly moving goods, and without thinking, she said to Wang Jianmin, "Starting this month, everyone's salary will be increased by ten yuan. 10% of the monthly profit will be taken out, with 5% going to the workers as commission and the other 5% going to the canteen to improve everyone's meals."
And please check if there's anything in the dorm that needs improvement, and let me know later.
"After we finish this busy period, if we still don't have enough manpower, we can consider adding more production lines and hiring more people. Remember to let me know when that happens, and I'll come over to check on things when I have time."
The accounting books and forms from the finance department are all set up; I'll take a look at them when I have some free time at the end of the year.
After giving a series of instructions, Wang Jianmin admired Fu Wan even more.
Actually, Fu Wan hasn't recouped her investment yet, but she's already thinking about how to improve everyone's treatment.
As the former director of the cannery, he was glad that he hadn't misjudged Fu Wan and sold the factory to her.
After finishing looking around, Chen Guifang returned with Accountant Xiao.
Fu Wan could tell that Chen Guifang looked relaxed and had a smile in her eyes, so she was probably quite satisfied with the environment.
But she still asked, "Sister-in-law, how are you feeling? Can you stay here?"
Chen Guifang nodded emphatically, a smile spreading across her face: "Awan, this place is already very good. I can start work today!"
She feels full of energy now and can't wait to get back to work.
"Okay, your salary will be the same as the workers in the workshop, 30 yuan for now, and we'll add the extra 10 yuan after a month. You'll have two days off on weekends, and you can call back to the village to have your cousin pick you up."
"So, are these conditions acceptable?"
Chen Guifang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Wan, isn't 30 yuan too much?"
Fu Wan shook her head, "Everyone follows the same standard. As my sister-in-law, you don't have any special privileges, but your salary has to be the same as everyone else's."
Chen Guifang agreed and said confidently, "Okay, I will definitely study hard and work hard!"
Fu Wan knew what kind of person Chen Guifang was and trusted her completely; otherwise, she wouldn't have sent her to her factory.
But it wasn't that she wasn't given any special privileges. She planned to take some of her share of the profits at the end of the year and give Chen Guifang a big red envelope, on the condition that she work hard.
The reason for not clarifying things now is to avoid gossip among the factory workers, which could cause resentment among them.
After securing Chen Guifang's job, Fu Wan went home with Fu Mingjie and Ye Lin.
There was nothing else to do at the factory, so they had to go back and prepare for their trip to sea tomorrow.
As for Chen Guifang, she stayed behind with Accountant Xiao and began her working journey.
"Ah Wan, if we drive the car away, what will we do about the cannery's delivery later?"
Fu Ming drove the car back. He had just delivered several goods for the cannery and was now busy with other matters.
"It's alright, they'll arrange for a tractor to deliver the goods."
The main problem is that the tricycle was just bought, and it's not convenient to let unfamiliar workers drive it. So, family members can only help deliver things occasionally when they go by.
Of course, if some workers become familiar with the tricycle later on, she can buy one to use in the factory.
Before they knew it, it was early the next morning. The Fu family had breakfast early and then set off with their fishing nets and bamboo tubes.
Now their team has grown considerably. Jack was initially reluctant to go out to sea and become a fisherman, but after Fu Ming bragged about catching a giant grouper last time, the foreigner became itchy to try it himself.
He wants to catch big fish too!
