Chapter 269: How Big Is the Heart?

Our Chinese is very good at summarizing and generalizing.

It is often possible to express a very complex meaning in just a few simple words, or a concise short paragraph.

So that the wisdom of the predecessors can be passed down through idioms, proverbs, poems, or slips of the tongue, etc., and will be remembered by our children and grandchildren.

But there are also not so good things about this kind of convenience.

That is, it will be easy for the younger generations to have a self-righteous arrogance and a sense of contempt for the experience of their predecessors.

So that these truths are clearly known, but because they do not seek to understand them, few people can really benefit from them.

For example, the famous phrase in our local business philosophy - "harmony makes money" is like this.

In everyone's general perception, we only know that this means that the merchant should be kind to the customer.

But in fact, it would be too one-sided to emphasize only the service attitude.

The true meaning of this sentence is much more than that, but encompasses all interpersonal relationships in business dealings, and we must try to achieve harmony and balance.

In the same way, the saying "how great a person's heart is, how great is his achievement."

This phrase is usually understood as being enterprising, even ambitious.

Basically, it is equated with "how bold people are, how productive the land is".

But in fact, the "heart" in this sentence should contain more content.

For example, people should also have empathy, tolerance, fairness, and responsibility......

As for the reason why Ning Weimin and Song Huagui fell in love like this.

Why is it that on the matter of consignment, Song Huagui will be so contemptuous to Ning Weimin.

The fundamental reason is that both of them understand this quite well, and they are actually a kind of human being.

They treat their subordinates and never shrink back.

Not only will we try to give generous treatment, but also treat them fairly.

If you find that your subordinates have made mistakes in your work in a timely manner, you are willing to be as tolerant as possible and give them the opportunity to correct them.

Even they are very good at discovering the strengths and talents of their subordinates.

I am willing to give my subordinates more opportunities and inspiration to help them show their talents and create value.

That's their greatest charm as leaders.

For this reason, they will firmly attract many loyal subordinates around them, willing to serve them dogs and horses.

At the same time, on the other hand, Ning Weimin and Song Huagui also have a strong consensus on how to safeguard the company's interests.

They will never do anything that is detrimental to the interests of the company for their own personal gain.

They also cherish and appreciate the opportunity given by Pierre Caton.

This is not only because they know how to be grateful, but also because they have the professional ethics of "cannibalism and loyalty".

And because they all understand a truth.

It is one thing for people to have ability, but it is another thing to have a stage where they can display their ability.

So the most interesting thing is that none of them know that the two of them also have a very similar habit of settling accounts.

At the end of each month, they each have to calculate the value they have created for the company in private.

They don't get complacent like most people do to do less and get more money.

On the contrary, they will only feel at ease if they are sure that the value they create for the company is far greater than what they take away.

Otherwise, you will feel a kind of mental anxiety.

In short, it is precisely because they are not people who blindly pursue power and ignore obligations.

It is true that they will become more and more involved, trusting, understanding and sympathetic to each other in the process of coexistence.

Only then can they use a very humanized way of doing things to efficiently develop the business of "PC" clothing in China and prosper day by day.

But it is a pity that these are the concepts and foundations that our state-owned enterprises have always pursued.

Before the "movement", our state-owned enterprises actually paid great attention to both rights and obligations, and they have always done a good job in this regard.

But the reality is so ironic, after ten years.

Most state-owned enterprises, from top to bottom, have almost lost this faith.

Although workers in the fifties and sixties generally had a sense of responsibility and ownership.

But in the '80s, there weren't many people who really didn't open their mouths anymore to say things like, "I have to be worthy of the salary the state gave me."

And this has led to the inevitable decline of a large number of enterprises.

This is true even for even the best companies.

For example, the jade factory in Chongwen District.

As the jade production base that has won the most awards in the national competition.

As an enterprise that has 15 national-level craft masters, it has won the National Arts and Crafts Hundred Flowers Gold Cup Award for eight consecutive years, and has created a large number of jade carving treasures that can be called national treasures.

What can be done?

At present, if anyone can seriously understand the actual situation in the factory, I am afraid that they will be quite disappointed.

Because the cadres of the jade factory at this stage are accustomed to honestly acting according to the spirit of the superiors, and are accustomed to obedience, but not accustomed to being responsible.

In the end, it only retained the superficial characteristics of a large factory, such as a large enough factory area, a grand gate, and complete production equipment.

With the retirement of more and more veteran cadres and workers, the drawbacks of relying on the protection of the policy of unified purchase and marketing for a long time have begun to appear.

The jade factory has completely become a "rich second generation" who lies on the credit book of the past and does not want to make progress and eats the old foundation.

It can be said that the whole factory, the old days of excellence, the spirit of struggle and innovation has been lost.

Even in terms of aggressive spirit, I am afraid that it cannot be compared with a small factory like the brocade box factory that has been struggling.

Don't believe it, this can be clearly reflected from the mental outlook of the workers who come to work every morning.

Because even when they came to the factory gate, the workers heard the electric bell ringing at work, and no one would rush to complete the 100-meter sprint.

Although there are regulations in the factory, if you are one minute late, you will be deducted a bonus of one hour, and if you are one hour late, you will be deducted a bonus of one day.

But no one will sit in the guard room with the roster of employees, so who cares?

This is a false rule that exists in name only.

Of course, occasionally the factory leader may be more serious about attendance.

But who wouldn't go to the hospital to make up a false note?

Like Hu Jisong, a fifth-level worker in the second workshop, he is quite a smart person in this regard.

Don't look at him almost every day, but he has special props.

He always carries a medicine bag in his hand, which is high.

This shows that he is working with illness and is excusable for being late.

Instead of being blamed, it should be rewarded.

And after entering the workshop slowly, Hu Jisong always had to grin his teeth and twist his body a few times, and beat his back in pain.

Even his colleagues have long been accustomed to it, and they will only lazily cast him a look of disbelief at all.

But Hu Jisong still has to do enough play.

The basic quality of an actor.

Only in this way is it more reasonable for him to sit slowly next to the machine to smoke, chat, and be lazy.

He is no better than those young workers who dare to play chess and cards blatantly.

Those girls and boys, almost all of them took the "sick retirement" parents into the factory.

Go to the countryside to cut the queue and wait for a long time to work, so that they become free and lively.

Not only are they hard to repair, but they also have no craftsmanship and no pursuit.

So after deducting the bonus, they won't care too much, as long as they can be so mixed with a salary all day long, they will be quite content.

As for him, when he is middle-aged, his family still has to feed half the size of the child who can eat.

Of course, it is better to earn one more point than to earn one less.

But then again, he can't learn from the old masters who only know how to work with their heads down.

Those people are too honest.

For a day of tiring work, the whole month is only fifty or sixty bonuses, and there is no opinion at all.

What's more, the benefits in the factory are not as good as in the past.

Thinking that there is a lot of work to do, and the bonus is much less, who can be happy?

He is not stupid, so he naturally has to use his strength to work on the tip of the knife so as not to lose.

So at present, there are only two situations that can make Hu Jisong do his best to throw off his arms.

The first is the time period when the deputy director of production comes to "inspect".

According to the law, it is about ten o'clock in the morning to half past ten, and in the time period of two o'clock in the afternoon to half past two o'clock, the deputy factory director is very fond of surprise inspections.

Therefore, during this time, Hu Jisong will be used to work hard and show a good working attitude.

The second is an hour and a half of a break at noon, and two hours from work in the afternoon.

That was when Hu Jisong did private work for Boss Ning and really made money.

He would use his working hours and the factory's machines to grind the stone slowly.

Then as soon as the bell stopped, he began to work hard.

Since he is already very proficient in his work, he can really grab two of them every day, and even do four on weekends.

After a month, earning 200 yuan is not a problem.

That's almost double the salary plus bonuses for going to work!

So doing this kind of work, Hu Jisong never felt that there was anything to be tired of, he just felt that time passed too quickly.

Of course, the factory is definitely not allowed to do private work.

But the problem is that this kind of thing can't stop the gate, not to mention that the law doesn't hold the public accountable.

In fact, the entire second workshop is counted together, and there are already people in half of the workshop doing this.

Except for those timid masters and unskilled young workers, almost everyone has a share.

In this case, no one can interfere in this matter, not even the workshop director.

Because cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

He wants to intervene rashly, everyone is in a mood, who will complete the production task of their second workshop for him?

Not to mention that someone will smash the glass of their house at night.

So every noon, the bell rings.

Seeing Hu Jisong and eight or nine other jade carving technicians, he handed over the rice bowl and meal tickets to his apprentices and helped them go to the canteen to eat.

Then they themselves took out the stone from the pile of raw materials, which had been almost polished, and began to carve it.

The workshop director of the second workshop could only leave with a helpless wry smile, and came out of sight and out of mind.

In recent years, it has become common for young people to tease old men and make fun of cadres.

He knew that he was an eyesore, and if he stayed for long, he would definitely hear "Who cares who now, don't earn for nothing, don't earn for nothing." Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted. Whoever earns more money is a good ......", which is disrespectful nonsense to him.

As for recommending these stone carved ashtrays to the factory leaders, see if they can be used as the factory's new business thoughts.

The workshop director didn't even think about it.

Although he himself knew that the leaders of the Tiantian factory urged the innovation workshop to come up with new things.

And he actually thinks these things are good, especially the ashtray in the gate tower that he can't put down.

But once you come to the jade carving factory to do stone carving, the leader will definitely think that this is a self-depraved move.

Second, he was afraid that the leaders would see these things, and it would be obvious that the workers could not work properly, and their minds were all spent on these evil ways.

will be more angry and will blame him for mismanagement.

So, one more thing is like one less thing.

Anyway, such a big factory can't collapse, so why bother with this as a small workshop director.

That's it, it's best if everyone can get along safely, and it's a day to deal with it.
