Chapter 460: Holiday
Taoyuan Village is spectacular in winter. Today, the fog girl is no longer wearing a veil, but a thick white robe. She pulled up the wide white robe and covered the entire Taoyuan Village.
In the distance, the mountain was shrouded in thick white fog, and only its outline could be seen. Nearby, white mist was floating, as if someone was cooking something underground, and the lid of the pot was suddenly opened, and steam suddenly came out and spread. The entire Taoyuan Village fell into a sea of smoke, appearing ethereal and vague, as if entering heaven.
In this "heavenly palace", some people came out of their respective "palaces" carrying simple luggage. They all got on ox carts, and the strong oxen pulled the carts full of people to the Xingfu River Wharf.
Yike, Ziyi and Li Haoran were the first group of people to go out. They were accompanied by their cousin and his wife, as well as Wu Xiangxiang and her husband.
We had dinner together the night before and decided to go out together today.
It is winter now and the water level of Yixiantian River has dropped. The people entering and leaving now are not small boats, but the boat bought by Ziyi. The boat can carry more than a dozen people at a time.
Yike and his group took a boat out of the narrow passage and were directly sent to Dongyun Town.
There is a company service station in Dongyun Town. This service station was established after the discovery of Yitiantian, but outsiders don’t know about it and just think it is rented for people to live in.
As soon as they arrived at Dongyun Town, they went straight to the service station after getting off the boat.
Now the service station has a plaque with the words "Xingfu Xingnong Company Service Station" written on it.
Yike, Ziyi and others walked in. There was a large counter opposite the door, and there was a woman inside the counter.
The woman looked neat and tidy, even her hair was neatly tied into a bun at the back of her head.
"Comrade, what can I do for you?" The woman stood up politely, not at all as arrogant as the waiters in the state-owned guesthouse.
"Hello, I want to borrow the phone to make a call." Ziyi handed his work ID to the woman.
"Hello, General Manager. The phone is in the office, please go in and call." The woman immediately led Ziyi into the office.
Yike was very satisfied with the service attitude of this service station. It seemed that Tang Jianguo had trained his subordinates completely in accordance with the "customer first" business philosophy written by Ziyi.
Ziyi quickly made a phone call, and the person in charge of the service station also came out and arranged for someone to take Wu Xiangxiang to the passenger ship.
Li Haoran and Zhang Yuling took Yi Ke's cousins to take a boat back to the county town. When they arrived at the county town, Ma Youcai would arrange a vehicle to take the cousins and their wives back home.
Ziyi just called to explain this matter to Ma Youcai, and also asked Tang Jianguo to arrange people to deliver food to each county service station.
When company employees go home, they have to go to the service station to exchange food. Of course, the amount of food is limited and cannot exceed one person per year.
Ziyi also asked the service station to arrange vehicles to deliver food to employees' homes as much as possible.
Ziyi has decided to train the people in these service stations to become the couriers in his previous life. After the reform and opening up, the service stations can be immediately transformed into courier stations.
After the matter was settled, Ziyi and Yike went to the machinery factory first. He wanted to hand over the drawings of the two types of tilling machines developed by Su Lao and his team to the deputy factory director.
He plans to have the factory produce large quantities of it before next year's spring plowing season so that it can be sold to farmers for plowing their fields, saving labor.
The deputy factory director was very happy when he saw the drawings brought back by the factory director.
Their machinery factory has not had any new technology in recent years, and the products it produces are still the same old ones. The economic benefits of the factory are getting worse year by year.
The new type of tiller that Ziyi has taken out now is not only more convenient to use than the previous one, but also saves almost half of the materials required.
Ziyi requested that 10% of the profits from future sales be paid to the research laboratory that developed the machine. After a meeting and discussion, everyone at the machinery factory agreed.
How could they disagree? There are more than one machinery factory like them, so if they don’t agree, they can find another one to cooperate with.
In order to increase production, Ziyi proposed a two-shift system for factory workers, one shift during the day and one shift at night, and recruited more workers. There would be no holidays during the New Year, and except for special circumstances, all workers who worked during the New Year would receive double wages.
The employees of the machinery factory were very happy after the meeting. They felt like it was Chinese New Year even though it wasn't yet.
"The new factory manager said at the meeting today that any of our direct relatives over the age of 18 can apply to work in the factory. Does my brother from my mother's side count as a direct relative?"
"That's definitely not the case. There are only parents and children and couples. Brothers and sisters don't count. Didn't the factory director explain this during the meeting?"
"You mean my parents also count and can apply to work in the factory?"
"Yes, your son is still young, and aren't your parents in the countryside? Let them come."
"They will definitely let my brother come. My brother is still farming in the countryside, and they have long asked me to help him find a job in the city."
"That's definitely not possible. The factory manager said that jobs cannot be transferred."
"The factory manager is such a jerk. Before, couldn't workers transfer jobs if they didn't want to? Now they can't transfer jobs. Those who don't have anyone to take over can't even sell their jobs."
"This is good, it protects us daughters-in-law. The parents-in-law who want us to give our jobs to our children won't be able to force us to do so."
"That's right. Do you think we can get Zhang Pandi back from her brother-in-law?"
"That's not necessarily the case. It depends on whether she has completed the transfer procedures."
"She is so pitiful. Her husband is dead, her children are still young, and she can't even keep her job. How is she going to live in the future?"
"Alas, she is from the countryside, has no power or influence, and has no one to support her in her natal family, so she just lets her husband's family bully her."
Two female workers were sitting by the flower bed resting and chatting, unaware that the factory director's wife, Yike, was sitting at the other end of the flower bed.
Yike never thought that he was too bored in the room, so he came out for a walk and heard such a thing.
She felt very sympathetic towards the woman they were talking about, Zhang Pandidi, and didn't know whether she should do anything about it. She also didn't know if this woman named Zhang Pandidi was the kind of person who could stand up with a little help.
You should know that some people in the world bring pity upon themselves, because even if you help such people, But she cannot be independent. You can only help such a person for a while, but not for a lifetime. So, she decided to get to know this person and see if she could help.
Ziyi's expansion of recruitment this time is on the one hand to increase production, and on the other hand to solve the family difficulties of employees.
After he took office as factory director, he learned that the factory had not made any profit in recent years. Not only had it not hired any workers for several years, but many of the employees' children had reached working age and the factory was unable to help them solve the problem.
This time, taking the opportunity of expanding production, he wants to solve the problems of most employees.
