Chapter 1305 I'd rather rot than be fair
When seeing his workers "collectively absent from work", Director Han's face turned very dark.
He turned around and shouted to the people behind him: "What's going on? Where are the people in the shearing workshop?"
The person being scolded looked aggrieved, and obviously had the attitude of "who should I ask if you ask me?"
Fortunately, a smart person said, "Director, they all went to the stamping workshop to help. There are some large equipment that needs to be moved, and there are not enough people."
"Why don't you shout?"
“Hey~”
Several people ran away, causing Director Han to yell again: "Why are you running? Why are you panicking?"
“.”
Ten minutes later, dozens of people in work clothes ran back, lowered their heads and went into the shearing workshop, forming three rows of people.
Li Ye looked at the workers carefully and found something wrong.
Because these workers all had resentful expressions on their faces, and some were even mumbling, which was very abnormal.
How could you still be in such a bad mood in front of factory leaders and visiting guests?
【Well, there must be something fishy about this matter.】
Director Han stood up, gave a few lectures, and then announced Li Ye's suggestion.
"The First Branch is a star enterprise in Beijing. You have all seen the Beijing-brand cars it produces. But I want to remind you that the First Branch is also a high-standard production unit.
Apart from other things, the workers in the first branch often work overtime, this is a well-known fact, you should think about it yourself, if you don’t have a few pounds and ounces, you can’t keep people’s jobs.”
Li Ye: "."
Lu Zhizhang: “.”
After Director Han finished his dignified speech, he said to Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang, "Two directors, please take a look and decide which workers you want to select for the visit?"
Li Ye looked at Director Han, then smiled at the workers and said, "First of all, let me explain. Our factory's production tasks have been very tight in recent years. For example, the orders for Jingcheng brand vans are scheduled until next summer, so overtime is definitely required.
But the overtime in our factory is not free. The daily overtime is paid at 1.5 times the basic salary, and the overtime on holidays is double the salary. That is to say, if you are paid one dollar an hour on normal days, you will be paid one dollar and a half or two dollars an hour for overtime."
“.”
The workers who were lined up in three rows immediately became a commotion, and several people in the back row even tried to squeeze forward.
[Overtime pay? Double the amount?]
[Come on, come on, let me overwork your factory until it goes bankrupt.]
But Li Ye did not immediately select anyone. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then everyone go back to your respective workstations. We will do some simple operations and then select 20 employees to visit first, okay?"
As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, some people went back to their respective workstations, but the remaining half of the people were a little at a loss.
And these people were the ones who were later called back from the stamping workshop.
Director Han shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go back to your respective work stations?"
But it would have been fine if Director Han hadn't shouted. Once he shouted, these people suddenly became a mess. You go east, I go east, you go west, I go west. It took a long time before they dispersed to the equipment in the workshop.
Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang both laughed.
Isn't this clear enough? These people were just pulled in from other workshops to make up the numbers. The discipline at the Red Star Factory was so bad that they were absent from work en masse.
Of course, many state-owned enterprises that do not have production tasks are in a similar situation. If you have no work to do and no wages to pay, why do you call the workers over?
Are you bored and bothering others?
But today, Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang came to visit! So everyone showed up in the morning and left in the afternoon.
Who would have thought that Li Ye would come back again in the afternoon.
Li Ye observed these people carefully, and finally walked to a shearing machine, took out a notebook and drew a simple processing diagram.
"I need an irregular diamond-shaped plate, and the side length and angle will be processed accordingly."
Several workers took the sketch drawn by Li Ye. They understood it, but when it came to operating the shearing machine, except for a young guy, the others were very unfamiliar with it and it was obvious that they were not normally good at this job.
But the attitude of these guys who were new to the job was very good. They all rushed to do it, and in the end the young guy was so anxious that he couldn't get involved.
[I earn overtime pay, two dollars an hour.]
But when the workpiece was processed and measured with a measuring tool, it turned out to be an unqualified product.
Director Han's nose was crooked with anger, and he started to scold the young man: "Jin Xiaochuan, you have been working for two years, right? You can't even process such a simple workpiece? What's your attitude?"
"My attitude is yours!"
“.”
The young man named Jin Xiaochuan blurted out a Beijing curse, which stunned Director Han.
That's right. This guy was doing a good job just now, but he was pushed aside by several people from outside the workshop. You leaders can't see it, so who are you scolding now?
After Jin Xiaochuan finished cursing, he decided to give up and started cursing while taking off his clothes.
"You are all just talking nonsense. You will have no food to eat if you leave the unit, but I am not like that. My master left, so I think it is time for me to leave too. If there is no place for me here, I will find another place to stay. People with ability will be sought after everywhere."
“.”
The workers nearby quickly went over and grabbed Jin Xiaochuan, pulling him aside.
After gritting his teeth for a long time, Director Han called Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang aside.
"Two factory managers, I will not hide it from you. There are private enterprises that are poaching our employees. Several experienced workers have indeed been poached, but it does not affect the normal production of our company.
But you must guarantee that you are really going to merge with us, and not just pick and choose to poach people, before we can continue the discussion. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I have learned too many painful lessons like this.”
Li Ye: "."
Lu Zhizhang: “.”
Private enterprises in this era are indeed very wild, and it is true that they spend a lot of money to hire experienced workers, but you can't put this hat on us, right? Our branch is a state-owned enterprise, and if we poach your employees, it will be a waste of money.
Director Han sighed and said helplessly: "Maybe you think the situation of our Red Star Factory is not very good, but I can tell you that our situation is much better than that of the Eighth Machinery Factory and Miyun Forging Factory.
First, compared with the other two companies, we have the least foreign debt and the smallest hole. In addition, we are closest to the city center, and the land of our factory is more valuable than the two companies combined."
Li Ye sighed, not knowing what to say.
Director Han was too confident. He was so confident that he thought that even if Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang had to choose one among three, they would definitely choose the Red Star Factory.
But the land nowadays is not as scarce as it will be in a few decades! You can buy land anywhere with a little money.
As for what Director Han said, "The situation in our factory is not very good," it is what Li Ye cares about most.
The situation at the Red Star Manufacturing Plant is not just not very good; it is clearly very bad, extremely bad.
Because Director Han and his colleagues no longer have the ability to control all the employees in the factory, they don’t know whether they can still organize all the employees to carry out normal production.
You must know that although Li Ye has repeatedly emphasized that more workers and fewer cadres should be accepted, there are people above who "weigh the pros and cons", and in the end they will definitely have to accept some management personnel, otherwise there will be no way for them to be arranged.
So, these managers don’t need to be very capable, but at least they have to be useful.
But now it seems that the management and organizational capabilities of the Red Star Manufacturing Plant are not even a little bit inferior to those of Director Kong of the Eighth Machinery Plant, and their attitude is even more different.
At least Director Kong knows very well that if the workers' practical living difficulties are not solved, the core production backbones will leave. If you don't lower your attitude towards the branch, the branch will not merge with you.
If you don’t have spearhead troops in a war, you won’t be able to attack the enemy. If you don’t have core backbones in production, you can’t produce anything.
You still stubbornly demand "equal status" from a branch factory. If you are not given rights and status, you would rather not merge. You would rather let the situation remain rotten than not have fair rights.
[After all, it is a state-owned enterprise. Even if the state doesn’t care about these workers, it has to care about us XX.]
Are you kidding me? Do you really think that the branch factory would care about you guys? A bad apple spoils the whole barrel, and people would avoid you!
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
In the end, Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang selected fifteen workers from the Red Star Manufacturing Plant and five managers to go to the first branch factory for a "visit and internship", which was actually a "trial job".
But by the time Lu Zhizhang and Li Ye left, they had both lost hope in the Red Star Manufacturing Plant.
Financial holes are easy to solve, but spiritual holes can never be filled.
Lu Zhizhang asked again: "Li Ye, the journey to Mi Yun tomorrow is a bit far, should we set off earlier?"
Li Ye snorted and laughed, "I won't go, you go by yourself!"
Lu Zhizhang asked in surprise: "You're not going? Why?"
Li Ye said helplessly: "Because their factory director is called Li Gang. I met him when I went to Shanghai to attend the auto show."
Li Ye chattered to Lu Zhizhang about the unpleasantness between him and Li Gang, and also mentioned that the other party knew Niu Hongzhang.
Then Li Ye said, "What if we don't merge with them in the end? What if Lao Niu accuses me of using public power to take revenge on private interests and not distinguishing between public and private?"
"Is there such a thing?"
After listening to this, Lu Zhizhang stared at Li Ye for a while, and finally smiled and said, "Okay, you can hold a production responsibility meeting at home tomorrow! I will take on the inspection task over there."
"Well, thank you for your help."
"What's the trouble? We are friends now!"
Lu Zhizhang chuckled.
He had already made up his mind to go to the Miyun Forge tomorrow and kill them when he came back.
Li Ye has already expressed that he doesn't want to go, so why don't I be smart enough to help him solve this problem?
When two people work together as a team, they need to help and understand each other. Otherwise, if you make the other person feel uncomfortable, they will also feel uncomfortable with you in the future.
