Chapter 033 Job Competition
During the afternoon work, Feng Rui took Chen Yong and Tian Xiang to the two family handicraft production groups he managed.
This so-called production group is a small-scale production group based on the community, formed by recruiting unemployed people from various families.
This form of production and operation usually involves cooperation with factories or supply and marketing cooperatives. The other party purchases the products at a unified price, and we organize and are responsible for production, earning a certain amount of labor fees to use for family expenses.
Although this production team is small and not very stable, it is an important part of community activities.
Jobs are in short supply nowadays. In some families with elderly and children, there are seven or eight people in the family, but only one person can find a job. The salary they earn is barely enough to feed seven or eight mouths. The establishment of production teams can alleviate the pressure on these families to a certain extent.
In other places, such production teams are managed jointly by the street and neighborhood committees.
But on Hongwu Street, all these matters are taken over by the trade unions of several major factories.
There is no way. The people on Hongwu Street are very organizational-minded. They don’t listen to others’ advice, so they like to listen to what people say in the factory.
Over time, all these matters were transferred to the factory union.
Because Tian Xiang lived in Sanli Lane and was not very familiar with the situation here, Feng Rui explained the key points to her on the way.
Currently, Feng Rui manages two production teams, namely the weaving team and the construction team.
Both groups are in the resettlement area.
The resettlement area of Hongwu Street is shared by five major factories. It is mainly composed of old houses, large courtyards or townhouses, and its environment is similar to that of Sanli Lane.
The staff quarters of the five major factories were uniformly built as unit buildings ten years ago. Although there are many people living in the buildings, there are unified toilets and washrooms, and there are trees, flower beds and other facilities in the yard. Some community courtyards even have basketball courts and ping-pong tables. The community facilities alone are much more advanced and feel more comfortable than the previous messy alleys and courtyards.
People are fighting for such buildings but they cannot even afford to live in them, so there is definitely no place to use them for production.
Therefore, the production teams of the machinery factory are all located in the resettlement area.
Feng Rui first took the two of them to the weaving group.
This weaving group is located in a dilapidated ancestral hall. There are more than one hundred registered members, but only about ten of them actually work every day, and most of them are elderly people.
There is no way. Young people only want to work in factories. They think this job is boring and difficult.
When Feng Rui led the two people in, the two old masters greeted them cheerfully. Knowing that Tian Xiang and Chen Yong were new union officials, they said enviously, "It's so comfortable. Your future will be stable."
Who says it isn’t?
But you have to fight to stay.
Tian Xiang walked around with a pen and notebook, and got a general understanding of the situation of the knitting group.
When she was leaving, she asked Feng Rui, "Teacher Feng, does this group only produce vegetable baskets and sieves?"
All she saw inside just now were these two types.
Feng Rui: "Not really, it's just that the demand for these two products is huge and the supply and marketing cooperative has placed many orders."
Tian Xiang also asked about the procurement of raw materials, ordering and sales.
Feng Rui told her everything.
At present, everything they produce is handed over to the supply and marketing cooperatives. If the products are unsalable at the supply and marketing cooperatives, or if the products become hard to sell due to seasonal issues, they will also face suspension of production and a reduction in income for the team members.
Tian Xiang had never known about this aspect before, so she tried her best to write down everything Feng Rui said in her work notebook.
On the other hand, Chen Yong was a stark contrast to Tian Xiang. He brought a notebook and a pen, but he never even opened them. Although he nodded when Feng Rui was talking, as if he was very serious, needless to say, he just listened in one ear and out the other.
Feng Rui used to be a teacher, and he really liked students like Tian Xiang who loved to take notes.
Since she was serious, he also took it to heart and told her everything.
After talking about the weaving group, Tian Xiang asked about the construction team's situation. Should they go there to take a look next?
Feng Rui smiled and said, "The construction team doesn't have much work, maybe only a few times a year..."
Feng Rui also briefly introduced the situation of the construction team.
This so-called construction team is actually just repairing roads in the family compound, or if someone wants to build a wall or a stove, the construction team will have work to do.
Things like road construction are mostly matters of higher authorities and have nothing to do with the residents. Only when higher authorities do not approve it and it affects the lives of the residents, the trade union can apply to the factory for some funds to allow the construction team to carry out the repairs.
As for construction for household needs, residents will definitely pay for it themselves.
The construction team does not have an office, and the tools are kept by the weaving group. When there is work, people are gathered together, and they bring their tools and start working.
It seems that this construction team has a very low presence and is in a dispensable state.
Tian Xiang asked again: "There are more than just these two production teams in our union, right?"
Feng Rui nodded, "There is also a matchbox pasting group and a sewing group, both of which are managed by Qu Yingchun."
Speaking of this, Feng Rui began to persuade Tian Xiang, "Tomorrow, talk to Director Li and ask him to go back to Qu Yingchun's group. Her previous work was mainly in the family compound, so she has more experience than me. The two groups I just mentioned are all women comrades, and they are very motivated in these areas. If you take over, it will be easier to achieve results."
There was one thing Feng Rui did not say clearly, and that was that the two new recruitment positions were for one man and one woman.
Although Chen Yong also wants to take part in the trial, his gender advantage has already made him a sure winner, and his actual competitors are only Tian Xiang and Tao Huilan.
This morning, Tian Xiangcai had threatened Tao Huilan over the grouping issue, and she lost face at noon. Now if she was asked to go back there, she would not do it.
Moreover, she also realized that Aunt Qu was clearly biased towards Tao Huilan, and the two families might have some private relationship.
If she insisted on getting close to him, it wouldn't be a big deal if that person was partial to her. She was afraid that he would deliberately cheat her and she would lose before the trial was even over.
Tian Xiang: "Let me take a look. Thank you, Teacher Feng."
No matter what, Feng Rui means well.
Feng Rui saw that Tian Xiang didn't listen, so he thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll take you to see someone to deal with a problem that even Chairman Jiang couldn't solve. No matter which of you succeeds, it will be a great achievement in your work performance."
Feng Rui checked the time and said, "Let's go to the school."
The three of them rode their bicycles to Lixin Primary School.
The school is next to the Lixin community. It was a cement building built together with the community’s staff housing estate. It looks new and spacious.
Tian Xiang thought they were going to school.
Finally, I arrived at the gate, turned a corner, and entered the alley behind.
