Chapter 55: Something Goes Wrong with the Supermarket
Qin Zhongnian asked Han Weichang to leave first, and then called Sun Min, the director of the technical department, to convey Zhou Heng's request to him. As soon as Sun Min heard that everyone was going to work overtime, he shook his head like a rattle, but when he heard that the factory promised to give a bonus of 300 yuan to each engineer working overtime, he immediately cheered up, patted his chest and said that this matter was on him, and whoever dared to drop the chain didn't need to speak in the factory, he could clean up the people.
As for the way the bonus is distributed, Sun Min proposed some amendments. He said that there are nearly 200 engineers and technicians in the entire technical department, and if only 25 people are selected to participate in this technical research and a high bonus is issued, it will inevitably cause some bittersweet and uneven discussions, affect the unity of the technical department, and is not conducive to the development of work. He suggested that the factory should hand over the promised bonus of 7,500 yuan to the technical department for overall distribution, and the work tasks should be properly decomposed, so that most people have something to do and can get a little money. For those who are just engaged in support work, they may only get a bonus of 5 or 10 yuan from this project, but it can also make them feel that they are not being taken lightly.
When it comes to such a problem, Qin Zhongnian can't play it. Zhou Heng also has a bit of a mind that does not doubt and suspects people, and immediately made a decision and let Sun Min be fully responsible for the specific organization of the project, but the final distribution plan of the bonus still needs to be reviewed by the factory, and Sun Min cannot have the final say. As for Qin Zhongnian, his task is to complete the overall design of the baler, and then break down the task to each engineer.
After Sun Min was authorized, he went out to arrange work. After a while, the corridor was lively, and people from various departments were constantly visiting each other's doors, some people were standing in the corridor discussing things, and some people were laughing for some reason. Zhou Heng and the others stayed in Qin Zhongnian's office, although they couldn't hear what the people outside were talking about, but the kind of emotion that was agitated and restless due to excitement was something that everyone could feel.
"What's going on!" Qin Zhongnian sighed depressedly, "I convened a meeting of engineers two days ago and called on everyone to work hard and share worries for the factory. But now you listen, just because the factory promised to give everyone a bonus, these people can be happy like this. ”
Zhou Heng said: "Over the years, we have shouted too many slogans, and the workers are not interested in the slogans now, they want to see real things." ”
"Isn't the real thing money?" Qin Zhongnian said with some disdain, "These people are still intellectuals, and they have all fallen into the eyes of money, which is really unimaginable." ”
Tang Zifeng said: "Intellectuals are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they have a tendency to interests. The ancients knew that Cang Liao knew the truth of etiquette, and if you want everyone to have ideals, first of all, let everyone get rich first. ”
Zhou Heng said: "Xiao Tang is right. Linyi machine has only paid wages 3 times in the past year, and in this case, no one will believe what ideals and beliefs you say. We must seize the time to turn around the loss, and if we can give a bonus of 300 yuan to each of the workers in the factory, I believe everyone will start to become noble. ”
"That's something you should think about. Qin Zhongnian said dejectedly. So far, he has not been able to substitute himself into the atmosphere of Linyiji, and he can't understand the mentality of a group of people who have only received wages three times a year. However, he will still do what he needs to do, and he said to Zhou Heng: "I'd better draw my drawings steadily." Director Zhou, you can rest assured that within 15 days, we will definitely be able to design a new type of baler. ”
"That's hard work for you. Zhou Heng bowed his hand to Qin Zhongnian, and left with Tang Zifeng.
It takes half a month to design a new type of baler, and during this time, Tang Zifeng can't go to Mingxi, Jingnan and other places to talk about business, so he can only wait first. Fortunately, he still has his own business in the factory, that is, the rectification of the labor service company.
"Assistant Tang, the situation is gratifying!"
As soon as Tang Zifeng walked into Zhang Jianyang's office, Zhang Jianyang greeted him like a treasure and reported to Tang Zifeng in an exaggerated tone.
"What's the situation?"
Tang Zifeng knew that Zhang Jianyang was a little surprised, so naturally he would not be easily swayed by his emotions. He sat down on the sofa leisurely and asked Zhang Jianyang with a smile.
Zhang Jianyang said: "Assistant Tang, under your inspiration, these days I have convened a meeting of the cadres and family workers of all subordinate units, asking them to use their brains, change their thinking, speak their minds freely, and make suggestions for the improvement of the operation of their departments. Everyone's enthusiasm is very high, and each department has put forward good opinions for its own situation.
"Vegetable farms in both the eastern and western districts have decided to adopt the method of renting out stalls to attract farmers in the suburbs to set up stalls to sell vegetables. At present, some farmers have expressed their intention to operate in our vegetable farm, and we are now adjusting the stalls, and we can start attracting investment as soon as the beginning of next month. ”
Tang Zifeng said: "This is indeed good news. However, before you attract investment, you must formulate management rules and regulations, and all farmers who come to rent stalls must sign a letter of commitment to abide by these rules and regulations. Vegetable non-staple food is a major matter related to the health of the masses of workers, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Assistant Tang is so right!" Zhang Jianyang praised, "We really ignored this requirement at first, and then it was Hong Liu from the Eastern District Vegetable Market who saw that they had relevant management regulations in the vegetable market outside, so he reminded us to consider this problem." Assistant Tang really thinks more thoughtfully than us. ”
"Lao Zhang, will you be S if you don't make sycophants?" Tang Zifeng scolded with a smile. Zhang Jianyang's patting the leader's sycophant is almost a knee-jerk reaction, there is a sycophant to shoot, and there is no sycophant to create a sycophant. Tang Zifeng was quite useful for Zhang Jianyang's compliments at the beginning, but he couldn't stand it after a long time, it was too tiring to chat like this.
Zhang Jianyang was reprimanded, and his face showed a little embarrassment. He said a few words, and then began to report on the situation in other departments:
"The three convenient restaurants under the labor service company have elected new managers, and the new managers will lead all employees to jointly contract the restaurants. At present, on the basis of guaranteeing the original gross profit level, 60% of the increased income will be handed over to the company, and 40% will be used as bonuses for managers and employees, and the specific distribution method is determined by them internally.
"On the packaging factory side, the workers proposed that the current packaging business serving the factory is insufficient, and the market outside the factory should be actively explored. Some workers suggested that packaging factories could use existing technology to switch to home and office furniture. They said that the technical level of our packaging factory is no worse than that of the private furniture factories in the city, and those private furniture factories can make money, and there is no reason for us to lose money.
"The original task of the greening brigade was to be responsible for the greening of the factory, and they have a large greenhouse flower garden, which is specially cultivated and placed in various important places in the factory during the New Year's festival to beautify the environment. The workers of the greening brigade pointed out that now that the factory is in economic difficulties, there is no need to engage in these fancy things. They suggested taking the flowers to the market and selling them. Now there are many people who buy a new house near the river, and after buying a new house, they always have to put some green plants in their homes. In the future, our greening brigade will specialize in cultivating green plants and supplying them to the citizens of Linhe, not to mention how much money we make, at least it is no problem to feed the dozens of people in the greening brigade......"
"That's all very good. Tang Zifeng said, "Lao Zhang, let me just say, you are a capable person, as long as you focus on the right path, you will definitely be able to make achievements." Listening to what you just said, all departments of the labor service company have come to life, will they be able to hand over their profits to the factory before the Spring Festival?"
"I think there's a play!" Zhang Jianyang said, "I followed your instructions and promised all departments that as long as they could turn around their losses, they would be given bonuses proportionately." As a result, everyone's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and there are dozens of people who come to me every day to make reasonable suggestions, and there are dozens of people who want to contract various departments. ”
"By the way, you are talking so lively, why didn't I hear you talk about the store in the East District?" Tang Zifeng remembered something and couldn't help but remind. Huang Liting of the East District Store wanted to contract the store and transform the store into a supermarket, Tang Zifeng was very optimistic about this matter, so he was particularly concerned.
"East District Store...... Zhang Jianyang's face quickly darkened, "This matter is a bit troublesome." ”
Tang Zifeng was surprised: "Last time we went to the store in the East District, wasn't that family worker named Huang Liting very confident? In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, what's the matter, has she changed her hexagram again?"
Zhang Jianyang said: "There is no change of hexagram. After we talked to Huang Liting last time, she submitted the contract application to the company on the third day, and you were busy dealing with the matter at the industrial and commercial branch, so I didn't report it to you. ”
"Is there anything wrong with her application?" Tang Zifeng asked.
Zhang Jianyang said: "There is nothing wrong with her application. The conditions she put forward were also discussed together last time, she promised to complete at least 100,000 yuan of gross profit within a year, and if it was completed, the company would give her 5,000 yuan as a reward. If she doesn't, the company can deduct half of her salary as a punishment. ”
"It's a light punishment, but that's all it can be for now. Tang Zifeng said, "After all, the supermarket is still a new thing, and success or failure is also between the two, and it is unrealistic for her to take out all her net worth to guarantee." ”
Zhang Jianyang said: "This is the problem. The company's office meeting discussed and approved her contract application, but when the East District store was announced, many employees raised opinions, saying that Huang Liting was taking advantage of the government, and they opposed this contracting plan. ”
"Taking advantage of the public, where does this start?" Tang Zifeng asked.
