Then I heard Jia Youcai speak again: "Since all the sisters look up to me, Jia Youcai, and can trust me, Jia Youcai.
I don't treat everyone as outsiders. Once you enter the factory, you are all one family.
I know that most of you don’t have any relatives or friends.
If everyone is willing to trust me and the factory, then you can treat this factory as your own home.
Once you have integrated into the collective life, you sisters can get married or start a new family, which is fine.
The garment factory I run is your natal home. I will prepare a dowry for you and help you sisters start a new life.
If you get married and are bullied or discriminated against, you can come back to your parents' home and ask us for help. We will never stand idly by.
If you don’t want to get married, don’t worry. I have prepared an employment contract for you, you can take a look.
It describes in detail the welfare benefits that everyone should receive, not only you, but also the workers to be recruited in the future.
Everyone is treated equally, except that the basic apprentice salary is temporarily set at 20 yuan per month.
The internship period is three months, and after passing the exam and becoming a regular employee, the salary is 36 yuan per month.
In addition to the salary, food and accommodation are free, and there are two sets of clothes every quarter and some daily necessities.
Each worker can participate in the factory's shares, but only has the right to dividends, not decision-making power.
This dividend is available to anyone working in the factory, regardless of their job position, including sweeping the floor.
In addition to deducting about 5% from workers' wages every month, these factories also subsidize 5%.
A total of 10% of the proceeds will be stored in a special bank account in trust until everyone gets older and can no longer use it.
The bank will distribute pensions on behalf of the people, so that everyone can have something to rely on in their old age."
After Jia Youcai finished speaking, he instructed Chen Xueru beside him to distribute the detailed contract to the important representatives in the factory.
The extra money was distributed to the women sitting below.
All of this was done by Jia Youcai after Wang Xiulan arrived yesterday. He dictated it himself, Yan Bugui copied it, and finally selected and sorted it out, copying dozens of copies overnight.
Yan Bugui's hands were numb from working an extra night shift, but he still didn't get paid. He just asked He Daqing to make him a bowl of noodles to get by.
Well, to explain, He Daqing has come to work in the kitchen of the garment factory. Sha Zhuqian has returned to his old ways, but he did not go to Fengze Garden to learn cooking. Instead, he followed his father to help in the kitchen and learned cooking by the way.
The scene was quiet for a while. Most of the women below were illiterate, but some of them were not only literate, but also had high sexual skills.
Comrade Zhao Gang and Comrade Wang Xiu Lan were caught off guard. Jia Youcai didn't even say hello to them, and this caused trouble again.
But it doesn't sound like a bad thing. Everyone has a copy and is looking at the contract carefully.
In order to understand the terms, Li Huaide wrote down every word Jia Youcai had just said in his notebook, and also took a copy of the contract to read.
He would glance at Jia Youcai from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Jia Youcai suddenly said something to Comrade Zhao Gang on the side.
"Comrade Zhao Gang, can you please let Comrade Wang Xiulan come to our factory first to help manage these women?
Talk to them more about the Party’s policies and encourage them to emancipate their minds and actively face the new era and new life.
After they have integrated into the collective, Comrade Wang Xiulan will be allowed to return to work.
Maybe I'll have to send some more people here in the future, because not everyone here knows who I, Jia Youcai, am.
With the public involved, the credibility is much stronger.
It won't take too long, just three years, and it will be almost done. The factory will definitely be expanded in the future, and there will be too much to do. I definitely can't take care of these trivial matters.
My wife has to run around the country to get materials, and I have to go abroad frequently to look for orders. I really can’t take care of so many things.”
Comrade Zhao Gang nodded as he read the contract, thinking about what Jia Youcai said. It made sense, but he didn't know whether Wang Xiulan was willing to do so.
Wang Xiulan was dumbfounded. Why did this situation seem so familiar? It was as if she had been cheated by Lao Yang last time.
When Jia Youcai saw Zhao Gang nodded, he didn't care about anything else and just lifted Wang Xiulan up.
"Comrade Wang Xiulan, you are willing to contribute to these women who have suffered humiliation, oppression, and exploitation, helping them out of their predicament and encouraging them to start a new life.
Step into the new era and transform them from ghosts of the old era into people of the new era. You only need to spend three years to help dozens or even hundreds of them for a lifetime.
I believe that under the leadership of the Party and with the selfless dedication of Comrade Wang Xiulan, after integrating into the New China Society, these oppressed and exploited women will sincerely thank the organization, the Party, and Comrade Wang Xiulan.
Please do not refuse. Xia Hong, come here and, on behalf of all the sisters, bow to Comrade Wang Xiulan and Comrade Zhao Gang present here, and thank the Party organization for its help."
ps: Don’t be afraid of good welfare. Ahem, you can borrow money from the bank, and whether you have to pay it back or not is another story.
