Sheng Liancheng took out his key, opened the gate, and the group entered the courtyard.
The dogs at home were overjoyed to see their owner return, wagging their tails and rushing to him, whimpering incessantly.
This time, before Sheng Xiping could even comfort the dogs, each of the four children grabbed a dog and held onto its neck tightly.
After being comforted by their little owner, the dogs finally calmed down, and Sheng Xiping went over and patted each of their heads.
Sheng Xiping and his sons were playing with the dog outside, while the others carried their things inside.
The couple, Sheng Liancheng and his wife, were gone for nearly two months. Fortunately, Xu Xiuxiang, Zhao Chunlan, and others took care of the house, coming over every day to heat the kang (a heated brick bed), feed the chickens and dogs, and clean the house.
So the house was clean and the kang (heated brick bed) was quite warm.
Of course, they only lit the fire on the south kang (heated brick bed) in the east room, while the north kang was cold, and they didn't light a fire in the west room.
No one lives in the house, so burning so much firewood is a waste. As long as the water pipes and sauerkraut jars don't freeze, it's fine.
So everyone put down their things and quickly started a fire.
Sheng Xiping still had a lot to do, so he couldn't stay. Now that he had safely brought his family back, he was relieved.
So he said goodbye to his parents, turned around, went out, and drove away.
Back in Songjianghe, Sheng Xiping first went to the factory to check on the progress of the project.
In the winter in Northeast China, temperatures can drop to minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, making construction impossible. The office building project had already been shut down long ago.
The factory buildings, on the other hand, were built before winter, so while the work outside couldn't be done, the work inside wasn't delayed.
Now all the large workshops have been cleaned up, and all kinds of pipes and other equipment have been installed according to the original design drawings.
Once the machinery and equipment arrive and all the workers are recruited, we can start work here.
"Hmm, not bad, the factory buildings are being built well." Sheng Xiping toured several workshops and was quite satisfied with the current progress.
"I had already placed an order for the machinery and equipment with overseas suppliers before I came back. There are a few machines that we have high requirements for and need to be specially customized. I estimate that they will not arrive until the spring."
So, while there's nothing to do in winter, let's recruit workers first.
"We'll allocate manpower to set up registration offices in surrounding towns and villages, initially only recruiting male workers. We'll consider recruiting female workers once the factory is in production next year."
Timber processing plants use various circular saws, band saws, planers, veneer cutters, presses, etc., which involve a lot of heavy physical labor, so they definitely need more male workers.
"President Sheng, what about the various forest farms? Should we try recruiting there too? There are quite a few unemployed young people in the forest farms right now, with nothing to do," Zheng Hua asked from the side.
In recent years, the Forestry Bureau has recruited several batches of workers to accommodate the children of its employees, including state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, and agricultural and forestry workers. Now, the workforce is already saturated.
However, many people still fail to get into vocational schools or universities after graduating from junior or senior high school and can only wait for job openings.
"Hmm, we could give it a try, but I don't think it'll be very good. There are many unemployed young people in the forest farm waiting to be hired, and they might not be interested in our private factory."
Sheng Xiping didn't have high hopes for this. Forestry workers' children are different from rural people; they have a backup plan. If they can find work, they can find work; if they can't find work, they can take over their parents' jobs.
This is a private company after all, and it doesn't offer the same benefits as state-owned enterprises. At most, the salary is a bit higher, which may not be enough to attract these forestry workers' children.
"By the way, when recruiting, make it clear that we are a private company and don't have the same benefits as state-owned enterprises."
The day shift is from 7 am to 5 pm, and the night shift is from 7 pm to 5 am. The salary is higher, with a base salary, full attendance bonus, and performance bonus.
I'll think about the specific base salary later and let you know. Next year, once the dormitories are built, those who live far away can stay there.
Sheng Xiping thought for a moment and figured that the recruitment process was pretty much all there was to it; the other details could be dealt with later.
