"How is that possible?"
"Yes, right now all the employees in our factory are getting the same salary, and some may even face layoffs. Director Zhao, are you kidding us?"
"That's right, the salary is only so much. Even us senior employees only earn this much money. We all live on this amount. Director Zhao, don't try to fool us with that!"
"..."
Seeing that everyone still looked unconvinced, Zhao Nianmeng didn't let them continue. Instead, she raised her left hand and gently waved it forward, signaling everyone to quiet down.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Whether it's okay or not, please let me finish what I have to say."
Zhao Nianmeng cleared her throat, and as soon as she said this, although everyone still looked suspicious and disbelieving, they all shut their mouths.
"I'm addressing the main problems and troubles in our factory from three aspects."
"If you have any questions during the process I'm explaining, feel free to reach out and ask me. But before that, I hope you can respect my ideas."
"If everyone thinks my proposal is not good, then we'll think of another way."
Judging from Zhao Nianmeng's words, it was simply that if everyone disagreed with the proposal, it would be scrapped.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and there were no further objections.
"Since Director Zhao has said so, let's listen to it."
"That's right. If it really doesn't work out, we can just cancel it. It won't take up too much of our time."
"Director Zhao, please speak. We're all listening."
After all, they were all long-time employees at the company's senior management level. Although most of the plans and decisions in their state-owned enterprises had to be discussed and approved by various departments at the top before they could be implemented.
But before that, their factory also had the authority to hold meetings to review various decisions.
As for whether it will be implemented in the end, even if they agree, it won't matter much to them if the higher-ups reject it after a resolution.
With this in mind, everyone decided to listen to Zhao Nianmeng's proposal.
“I know that everyone here is a long-time employee of the factory. Only when the factory is doing well can everyone benefit.”
Zhao Nianmeng cleared her throat again and said some polite words first: "I also thank everyone for giving me this opportunity, and I believe you will not be disappointed with my choice today."
In fact, she could have easily kept these detailed plans from the factory's senior management. If she approved them, she could have simply submitted them to the higher-ups. Once the higher-ups made a decision and approved them, the factory employees would have no choice but to agree.
The reason for this additional process is that Zhao Nianmeng hopes that these employees will support her so that she can lead the factory to a longer future.
After she said that, no one dared to refute her.
After all, if they can also benefit from the factory's success, it would be a win-win situation, and no one would really turn down money.
"Before we go on, let me give you a brief overview of our factory."
"First, because the workers in our factory basically have the same wages and the same workload, their work enthusiasm has dropped considerably."
"In response to this method, we can change the labor mechanism."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the veteran employees present lit up.
In this era, the only thing that can greatly motivate these employees is money.
Zhao Nianmeng's words naturally aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Director Zhao, what do you mean by that? Are you planning to raise our wages?"
"Yes, our whole family depends on my son and me to support ourselves. If we could earn more, that would be even better!"
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm instantly mobilized, even though the specific content hadn't been explained yet, the scene before us was enough to show that it was a good start.
Zhao Nianmeng smiled and continued to tell her story.
"Don't worry, everyone. Since I've said that, there's bound to be a way for everyone to earn more."
"In order to motivate everyone, wages will definitely need to be increased, but there are some preconditions for this increase."
Seeing everyone instantly cheer up, Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but smile as well.
However, some people couldn't help but raise questions.
“Our salaries are allocated directly to us by the higher-ups, not by us. Director Zhao, now that you're saying you want to raise our salaries, do you think the various departments above will agree?”
This statement hit the nail on the head, and after a moment of silence, many people quickly echoed its sentiment.
"Yes, our factory's required output is only so much. Once it's done, that's it. But the output hasn't increased, yet the wages are going to increase. No one would agree to that, since it's a losing proposition."
"Let me finish speaking first," Zhao Nianmeng said with a smile and a shake of her head. "It's not just about raising wages. As I just said, there are preconditions for raising wages."
"What are the prerequisites?"
“In other words, we will implement the principle of more pay for more work,” Zhao Nianmeng explained patiently. “The so-called more pay for more work means that whoever does more work will get more money, which will motivate everyone.”
"And that's not all. As production increases, the higher-ups will definitely be more willing to allocate funds to us. Don't you all agree?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but get excited.
"Director Zhao's idea is great! Whoever does more work will get more. Anyway, we'll hand over all the increased production to the state. Not only will we get the highest production output every year, but we'll also get a lot of wages. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
"Yes, we only get that little fixed salary every month. I see some employees just coasting through each day. They figure it's the same pay whether they work a lot or a little. The morale in our factory has dropped a lot!"
"That's right! I see some people just coasting along every day. Last quarter, our production volume didn't even meet the target. That's not a good thing!"
"However, with Director Zhao's suggestion, not only will our factory's output meet the target for this quarter, but our annual production will definitely exceed it by a significant margin!"
