Chapter 407: Can that spirit be passed on?
The visiting group did not stay in the office building for long before leaving.
Some old hands saw that Li Zhongfa and Wang Qinshan both had serious expressions, and they had already started thinking about how they could build relationships after returning this time so as not to be "reduceeded" to the workshop.
The higher-ups have been calling for “streamlining” for many years, but it has been all talk and no action. Some units have even set up streamlining teams and added a few more people off work.
But looking at the current situation, it is better to prepare for a rainy day!
After the visiting group entered the factory workshop, the dull atmosphere was gradually replaced by novelty.
The degree of automation of Pengcheng Red Bull canning production line is much higher than that of Changbei Machinery Company. Although canned beverages are not sewing machines and the process difficulty is very different, at first glance, it is "advanced", isn't it?
"Look, how many cans can be filled in one minute? This money can be earned faster than counting money."
"It's indeed faster than counting money. Our instant noodle production line is about to go into production, and it will be the same then."
"How can they be the same? A can of Pengcheng Bull costs more than two yuan, while our instant noodles are only a few cents a bag. We use flour, beef, and beef bones, while they use water and flavorings."
Everyone in the visiting group was paying attention to how Pengcheng Red Bull could generate benefits through advanced technology, but their leader had long since stopped paying attention to the equipment and instead focused on the employees in the workshop.
The employees in the workshop were very busy and worked very seriously. When they saw the visiting group approaching, they just glanced at them at most and basically did not stop the work in their hands.
Wang Qinshan whispered to Li Zhongfa: "Brother Li, do you think these workers are performing for us?"
Li Zhongfa shook his head and said, "I don't think so. They didn't even send a few people to greet us, so why would they need their employees to perform for us?"
Wang Qinshan looked carefully for a long time and said coldly: "I can see that they were forced to do this by this assembly line.
If you don’t believe me, just look at it. If they were a little slower, everything would be in chaos. This is a typical means of capital exploitation.”
"Not necessarily. Director Wang, please don't say that. How can we have any means of exploitation in our inland areas?"
Li Zhongfa was still very aware and immediately corrected Wang Qinshan's point of view.
But Wang Qinshan said, "Then why are they so busy like grandchildren? Is it for the March 8th Red Flag Bearer? Or for the award of advanced workers or model workers? Aren't they all just for a few bucks?"
“.”
Chen Yanhong had always been following Li Zhongfa and the others, helping them to answer questions at any time. She was speechless after hearing this.
[No wonder General Manager Fu didn’t receive you! You are here to criticize the capitalists!]
Chen Yanhong smiled and said, "Two factory managers, we don't have any means of exploitation here. The current production speed has been agreed upon by the workers through a joint vote. If we lower it now, they will be unhappy."
"Oh? You still don't want to lower the price?"
Director Wang smiled and suddenly asked, "How much can your workers earn every month for working so hard?"
Chen Yanhong smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's not convenient to disclose this. I can only say that it is indeed linked to production and quality. The higher the production and the better the quality, the higher their salary will be."
"You're still keeping this a secret!"
Director Wang was somewhat unwilling, but Li Zhongfa pulled him forward.
"Let's go, let's go faster, there's still a lot of land we haven't seen yet! It'll take a whole day to see it all, don't delay people from getting off work in the evening!"
Director Wang said, "Brother Li, we are here to inspect. What are we inspecting if we don't ask clearly?"
Li Zhongfa whispered, "You! They just said it's inconvenient to disclose, but they didn't say we can't ask the workers. If you want to know, why don't you go and ask the workers separately later?"
Director Wang: “.”
In fact, this is a "flexible thinking question", just like a very sad story in later generations.
An elderly person in a community suddenly fell ill and needed a defibrillator to save his life, but the ambulance he called had not arrived yet.
Just at this moment, another ambulance called by someone else came into the community, so the elderly man's children went to borrow a defibrillator.
The paramedics clearly said: "The defibrillator is right behind our car, but according to regulations we cannot lend it out."
Then the elderly’s children complained and posted their complaints online. The consequences for the rescue workers are unknown, but they certainly did not end well.
Do you think the paramedics are losing out?
I told you there was a defibrillator behind the car, why didn't you just reach out and take it? I didn't stop you, but you still forced me to break the rules?
After listening to what Li Zhongfa said, Director Wang found an opportunity to give orders. A dozen of his men immediately understood and took action, and got back the information within ten minutes.
"Director, this is unbelievable. Ordinary workers earn this much every month."
"That's about the same number I asked, but the team leader's number is a little higher."
Visitors to Changbei Machinery Company all stretched out their fingers, some stretched out two fingers, and some stretched out three fingers.
Director Wang was stunned.
Of course he knew that this couldn't mean twenty or thirty. Two or three hundred per month, what kind of salary level did this mean?
Director Wang asked hurriedly, "How many people are you doing this for? Are the people from Hong Kong getting this salary, or are there other people getting this high salary?"
"They are all this high. There are some that are over a hundred, but they are very rare, and the work is easier."
Wang Qinshan was stunned for a long time before he turned around and asked Li Zhongfa: "Brother Li, how much do you make every month?"
“Hehe~”
Li Zhongfa held up a finger and said, "More than a hundred. How about you?"
Wang Qinshan shook his head slowly and walked forward silently.
At Director Wang's Changbei Machinery Company, few people's salaries exceed 100 yuan. The only ones who earn over 100 yuan are those from Hong Kong, who form a "very small minority" and are isolated by the masses.
However, high salaries at Pengcheng Red Bull are a common phenomenon.
So who are the isolated people?
. . . . . . . .
Pengcheng Red Bull is quite big. The tour group started the tour at around nine o'clock, and they had not finished the tour by noon, so naturally they had to be treated to a meal by the host.
But the host's attitude towards entertaining us at dinner was a little too casual.
"Let us eat with the workers? We came all the way here, and you can't serve us some seafood?"
"Hush, didn't you see that the bosses of our two families all looked gloomy? This might also be part of the tour. Don't talk too much, the first bird to stick its head out will be shot down."
“.”
Chen Yanhong led Li Zhongfa and others directly to the staff cafeteria and had meals with the company's employees.
The only difference is that they do not eat the same meals as the front-line employees, and there are more types of food.
Li Zhongfa and Director Wang carefully looked at the variety of food in the cafeteria, and their expressions became more serious.
Because the food in this canteen is much better than the food in their two employee canteens, and much better.
They both ordered a lot of food and observed while eating. They found that the workers who were eating were in good spirits. Some were even laughing and joking. There was no sign of oppression like being "exploited".
Chen Yanhong came over and asked Li Zhongfa and Wang Qinshan with concern: "Two leaders, do you think the taste is okay? If you are not used to it, you can also order dishes separately."
Li Zhongfa smiled and shook his head, saying, "This dish is good. Your unit's logistics management level is not low, and it is worth learning from."
"Director Li, you are too kind. Our company's cafeteria was modeled after the Seventh Factory in Pengcheng!"
"Pengcheng Seventh Factory! I know."
Li Zhongfa suddenly understood. Hao Jian had talked to him about this matter before. He said that the canteen of Pengcheng No. 7 Factory was personally managed by Li Ye, and it was highly praised among the countless units in Pengcheng.
But after observing for a while, Director Wang asked Chen Yanhong: "I saw your management staff. Why is there a separate area and no single window for serving food? Did you learn this kind of specialization from Pengcheng Factory No. 7?"
Chen Yanhong turned her head and looked at it. "That window is not special. It is a window for paying to order food. Meals for ordinary employees are free. If you want to eat better, you can pay for it yourself. The general salary of managers is higher, so most of them like to order their own food."
“You.”
Director Wang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "You are still dividing people into different classes, which is not very reasonable."
Chen Yanhong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, leaders, when you are at work, do you eat the same meals as ordinary workers?"
Director Wang immediately said righteously: "It's the same. I queue up to get food with the workers every day. I will never treat them specially."
Li Zhongfa: “.”
Brother, you don't have any treats, do you? When I went to your place, the food was pretty good!
Of course, when Director Wang visited Qingshuihe Food Company some time ago, Li Zhongfa also entertained him well. This is all about human relationships and social situations, and one has to understand.
In the afternoon, Li Zhongfa and others went to the accommodation arranged by Pengcheng Red Bull, and Director Wang suddenly found Li Zhongfa.
"Brother Li, your sugar-coated bullets are powerful, and your intention to destroy me is still strong!"
"You are talking nonsense."
"Hi~"
Director Wang shook his head and asked Li Zhongfa: "Brother Li, you and I both came from that era. In our generation, we worked very hard without asking for any reward. Do you think that spirit will be passed on?"
"If we cannot pass on the legacy, will we be sinners in history?"
“.”
Li Zhongfa was unable to answer.
Because in that era of national mobilization, countless great feats were accomplished. How could that spirit be easily abandoned?
