Chapter 392: Dedication or salary, which is more important?
The talks between Yang Yumin and Li Yue went very smoothly, and they quickly set the wedding date for National Day. Even Li, who was asked to act as the matchmaker, said, "It's over without me doing anything."
Indeed, how can a grown man talk about money? Women usually say the ugly words. This is the correct way to recognize relatives in Dongshan. It's just that Wu Juying did it in a beautiful way. She not only gave a large dowry, but also said that the man would contribute more to the small family.
Similarly, Yang Yumin is also under a lot of pressure. The girl has given you both face and heart. So go back and think about how to treat Li Yue in the future!
Since ancient times, dowry has been the confidence of a new daughter-in-law. Otherwise, how could Su Che sell his house and land to raise dowry for his daughter?
Although the times have changed, people's hearts have not changed. Even decades later, when women's status was about to soar to the sky, those with good conditions still had good ways of marrying, and those with poor conditions had poor attitudes.
It's not impossible to marry into a family with nothing in hand and still be very proud of it. Either the mother-in-law will punish the daughter-in-law, or the daughter-in-law will make the mother-in-law angry to death. It all depends on who is more capable.
Li Yue, Li Zhongfa and others saw Yang Yumin off and came back very happy, but Wu Juying stopped her.
"Xiao Yue, even if you don't know how much wealth our family has, you can still roughly calculate it. Your brother gave you more than half of your dowry, so you should have an idea of it."
The person with the highest salary in the Li family is Li Zhongfa, who earns more than 100 yuan a month. Then there is Wu Juying's pension of several dozen yuan, Li Kaijian's several dozen yuan, and Han Chunmei's more than 20 yuan. All together, it's just over 200 yuan.
With these conditions, they are already one of the best families in Qingshui County.
But even so, after deducting the expenses for food, clothing, and social matters, the Li family could only save a little over a hundred yuan a month. Even if they saved for two years, it was not enough to buy a motorcycle, let alone a TV, so they had to use Li Ye's money.
Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Grandma, I can't let Xiaoye pay for this. I will definitely save up money to pay it back in the future."
"You don't have to pay it back," Wu Juying said arrogantly, "Dowry is dowry, we will pay it back for you, you just need to remember your brother's kindness,
After you get married, every penny you earn is not your own. Don't steal things from your parents' home like a mouse. If someone pokes your spine and makes fun of our Li family, I will not forgive you. "
“.”
At this point, we have to say that Wu Juying and Li Zhongfa have their own principles. If they ask Li Yue to pay back the money, then what kind of dowry is that?
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Wu Juying was explaining the truth of life to Li Yue. Han Chunmei, who was tidying up the tables and chairs and sweeping the melon seed shells, was stunned for a moment and lowered her head in shame.
Compared with the marriage of their daughter to the Li family, my own experience when I got married here was simply... indescribable.
Wu Juying was such a smart person that she immediately noticed Han Chunmei's embarrassment.
Then she added, "Chunmei, your two daughters will also have six dowries when the time comes, and I guarantee that nothing will be missing."
Han Chunmei was stunned at first, then she said with a sour nose: "No need, mother, Xiaojuan and Xiaoying are still young, I can just give them whatever I have when the time comes."
"How can that be possible?" Wu Juying said in a deep voice, "Since the two children have taken our surname Li, we must treat them equally and never let outsiders laugh at them. Do you understand?"
"I know, mother."
Han Chunmei began to wipe her tears, nodding as she did so.
"Okay, these were actually Xiaoye's ideas. They are lucky to have a brother like Xiaoye!"
"Ah, alas, mother is right, they are both lucky!"
Wu Juying looked at Han Chunmei in tears, thought for a moment, then lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, has anyone come to see you and your child recently?"
“.”
Han Chunmei was stunned for five seconds before she realized what was going on, and then she shook her head vigorously like a rattle.
"No, mother, I really don't. If I tell lies, God will strike me down."
"It's best if there is none," Wu Juying whispered, "If there is, you should know what to do. Don't take the blessing for granted."
"I know mother, I know what to do!"
Han Chunmei agreed with gritted teeth, her eyes turned red. She, who had always been weak, suddenly burst out with ruthlessness.
. . . . . .
After seeing off the Yang family, Li Zhongfa announced that his family would stay in Beijing for a few more days, waiting for the visiting and study group from the Qingshui Instant Noodle Factory to come, and would return after completing friendly learning with the Changbei Machinery Company.
This made the two younger sisters extremely happy. They had never been to Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace, Badaling, and other scenic spots on the pencil cases!
"I'll call back and ask for leave so that you three can have a good time touring the capital."
Li Kaijian also made a phone call to ask for leave for himself and Han Chunmei, which made Han Chunmei, who had been feeling gloomy just now, happy.
However, Li Zhongfa quietly found Li Ye and asked, "Where is Xiaoruo? Didn't she say she would stay in the capital?"
Li Ye also whispered: "She said she missed her mother and wanted to go back to Pengcheng for a few days. She will be back in a few days. She has a special status and can buy a ticket and take a plane. It's convenient."
"This child is sensible, but he is also a poor child!"
Li Zhongfa nodded slowly, and then asked Li Ye: "So do you think the upcoming visit and exchange will include Pengcheng Red Bull?"
“.”
Changbei Machinery Company and Qingshuihe Food Company are of the same nature, both of which are joint ventures between Pei Wencong and mainland companies. However, the same is true for Pengcheng Red Bull.
So, Li Zhongfa, can you visit Pengcheng Red Bull?
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Grandpa, I'm just a child, don't ask me about this kind of thing, okay?"
Li Zhongfa was choked by Li Ye's words for several seconds, and then he said with complicated meaning: "Are you trying to deceive your grandfather here? If I treat you as a child, then I am really blinding my old eyes."
. . . . . . .
The visiting group from Qingshuihe Food Company came very quickly. After all, they were on the eve of launching their products and were in urgent need of "mature experience".
As a pioneer that has already earned its first pot of gold, Changbei Machinery Company is naturally a role model worthy of learning.
However, when Li Ye saw the huge size of the visiting group, which consisted of more than 20 people, including several half-grown children, he still expressed deep helplessness about certain trends these days.
The problem is that besides being helpless, the other person is still very familiar with Li Ye.
"Xiao Ye, please keep an eye on your brother. He has never been far away from home. Don't let others laugh at us."
"Xiaoxia, follow your brother Li Ye closely, don't get lost! Tell your brother if you are hungry or thirsty."
I'm so meow
Li Ye really had no choice, because these people used to have a good relationship with Li Zhongfa, and they would call him uncle, aunt, or something like that whenever they met them. They let you be the leader of the children because they trust you, and you really can't kick them on the spot.
Li Zhongfa saw the change in his grandson's expression, and took the opportunity to come over and say, "I told them that they must pay for the expenses of irrelevant people, and they came out with me just for safety."
Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, it's okay for the company to give employees' families some benefits like public travel, but they have to be separated from their formal work. Some active production elements can also be given similar rewards."
What Li Ye was talking about was the family team-building activities organized by some units in later generations, which can also be regarded as a benefit to enhance employees' sense of identification with the company.
Li Zhongfa agreed and said, "Xiao Ye, you are right. I will hold a meeting after I return to focus on this issue and try to set some rules before I retire."
Many things in the workplace are like this. When a person in charge takes responsibility and establishes a rule, new people in the workplace can benefit from it or be restrained. As long as it does not affect the interests of the vast majority of people, it can last for a long time.
“Dongdongqiang~Dongdongqiang~Dongdongdongdongdongdongqiang~”
As soon as the bus of the Qingshuihe Food Company's visiting group arrived at the gate of Changbei Machinery Company, it received a warm welcome with loud drums and gongs and waving colorful flags. A new banner that read "Warmly welcome Qingshui brothers to visit us" was very eye-catching.
As soon as Li Zhongfa got out of the car, Director Wang gave him a military salute.
Li Zhongfa's expression remained unchanged. He also returned a standard military salute, then smiled and said, "We are not soldiers anymore, so it's better to be more casual. Look, you've embarrassed others."
Director Wang shook Li Zhongfa's hand warmly and said sincerely, "It would be fine if I didn't know your experience, but since I know it, I must show my respect.
To be honest, when I first received the call, I thought it was a scam, but when I called Qingshui County to ask, I learned about your legendary deeds."
"What legendary deeds are not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
Li Zhongfa had a smile on his face, but he felt a little puzzled.
Because this visit and exchange was arranged by Pei Wencong's people, how could Director Wang think that they were scammers? Why did he have to call Qingshui County to inquire?
It was only after he entered Changbei Machinery Company that Li Zhongfa noticed some clues.
The entire Changbei Machinery Company was artificially divided into two parts.
Eighty percent of the area is occupied by people from the former Changbei Machinery Factory, while the remaining small area is used by the Hong Kong company. The two are separated by a row of low fences.
Li Zhongfa asked in confusion: "Director Wang, are the Hong Kong people in your company so ignorant of the ways of the world? They actually separated you from them with railings? This doesn't look like a family!"
Director Wang's face darkened and he shook his head, saying, "No, I had them separated. I don't know what it's like in your unit, but here, if we don't separate them, our fine tradition will be ruined."
Li Zhongfa asked puzzledly: "What is the fine tradition that Director Wang is talking about?"
Director Wang did not answer, but waved his hand. Someone behind him immediately took out a whistle and blew it rapidly.
The whistle sounded one long and five short. Li Zhongfa, who had been a soldier for many years, could tell that it was an emergency assembly whistle.
As soon as the whistle sounded, the machinery factory was like a boiling pot. Workers rushed to the open space like soldiers. In just a few minutes, thousands of people were lined up in an orderly manner.
"This is our fine tradition," said Director Wang with a ruddy face: "Hard work and plain living, fighting wherever directed, fearless of difficulties, and courageous in making sacrifices."
Director Wang said a lot, and they were indeed the excellent qualities of the new flower-growing class workers. Even Li Zhongfa had to admit it.
But after he finished speaking, he pointed to the Hong Kong side and said: "But in their eyes, it's all money, money, money, money. Everything and everything is expressed in terms of money. It seems that they only have money in their eyes."
Director Wang looked at Li Zhongfa and said solemnly, "Old comrade, tell me, if this continues, will our workers still have a spirit of dedication? Which is more important, dedication or high wages?"
“.”
Li Zhongfa sighed, not knowing whether to agree or disagree, but his expression was extremely solemn.
Director Wang did not hide his words from the people around him at all, and it was obvious that he was not afraid of being known by the Hong Kong side. It can be seen that the contradiction has become obvious.
In a few days, Li Zhongfa will change from being the host of the mainland side to being the person in charge of the Hong Kong side.
What he will face at that time will actually be the same as what Changbei Machinery Company is facing now.
The Hong Kong side represented by Guo Tianyong, Tang Mingtai, Li Dayong and even Li Ye all used "wage level" as the basis for enterprise management, advocating rewards and punishments, and more work, more pay.
But this will lead to income differences within the group. Everyone is in the same unit, but some people earn 40 yuan a month, while others earn 300 yuan. If the workers start to make trouble, how can you solve the problem? How can you explain it to the higher-ups?
Therefore, the conflict between the two sides due to their interests and values may happen at Qingshuihe Food Company in the future. However, by then, Li Zhongfa will be the XX class waving money.
So when Li Zhongfa came to visit and inspect this time, there were quite a lot of things he needed to investigate and consider.
