Xinxing Group has the qualification of railway construction, and has long carried out mapping and surveying of the Haicang base, and almost after the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction of the special railway line began.

The nearest railway line is about 50 kilometers from Haicang, and the main function of the special railway line is to connect the railway line and the port terminal, except for the part within the base, so that the goods in the base can be transported seamlessly. After all, in addition to the chemical raw materials such as ethylene and methanol rushing in the pipeline, the finished products made from these raw materials still need to be transported through the channel.

The construction of roads and ports is much faster than that of railways. Two years ago, when Su Cheng came to Haicang, he saw Xinxing Group doing three links and one leveling project with a uniform pace. The port project also has the participation of Dahua Industrial, which is part of their "early construction", regardless of whether this strategy has worked in the vote or not, at least it has played a role now, especially the overweight and oversized machinery and equipment, which can often be easily sent to the Haicang base for installation, which moved BASF's technicians to tears.

The tall Germanic man said embarrassedly: "We have just installed a rubber vulcanization plant in Ghana, and it is 150 kilometers from the port to the destination, and it takes a whole week. Only one day was spent in the hotel, and the rest of the time had to sleep on the side of the road with the convoy......"

Shu Lan listened to the translation, and at the same time felt sad, she said curiously: "Don't do it if the business is not good, if you sleep in the wild, it is not good for your health." ”

As mentioned earlier, the Germanic man knew that Shu Lan was Sioux City's girlfriend, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If the business is not good, you have to do it." What is it to sleep on the streets, one year there was a riot in Haiti, and we went to install water purification devices for them, which was paid by a charitable organization, and they were trapped in the hotel for 13 days, and there were gunshots outside every day, and the water and electricity were simply cut off in the back. People don't dare to go out, and those who install purified water can't drink clean water......"

Shu Lan was frightened and said, "In this case, why don't you change jobs?"

The Germanic man blinked for a long time. Helplessly: "I'm good at this job." ”

"Gee, you must have been lazy while studying. Or like my brother, can't go to school well. Every day when you go to school, you have to put up slogans and shout slogans?" Shu Lan's tone was extremely sympathetic, and he turned his head again, and whispered: "Su Cheng, you said that people in developed countries are also rich and poor, is his family too poor to read when he was a child? Now he can only work on the construction site?"

In front of them is the ethylene pipeline under construction, and the pipe with a diameter thicker than a person has to be combined with a small crane for hoisting, and the process is not simple. The people in charge at this point are all mechanics and engineers. However, in terms of image, they are indeed working on the construction site, except for the helmets and newer clothes, which are no different from the image of migrant workers in TV and movies at this time.

But. To say that people came to do this job because they didn't study, Su Cheng really couldn't say it.

The Germans had to defend themselves: "I studied engineering, I graduated from RWTH Aachen University, and I was in the 10th percent of my class. ”

Yang Ming was worried that Shu Lan didn't understand, so he hurriedly explained: "One class of them is equal to our age, maybe two or three hundred people. ”

Shu Lan sighed. Said: "That's the top 30 in the whole grade? In fact, you might as well come to China to work, at least you don't have to travel a lot, and you don't have to go to dangerous countries. ”

The Germanic people lamented: to come to China is to go on a business trip, and China is a dangerous country!

But he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only listen silently, his eyes constantly roaming the equipment, trying to find a place with an inappropriate installation and escape from here.

However, Dahua's technicians and BASF's engineers worked well together, and there was nothing wrong at all. Half a year ago, Dahua began to spend a lot of money to hire BASF to send people to train Dahua's employees, coupled with Dahua's own training base and ethylene simulation equipment and other equipment, Dahua's technicians are on par with those technicians who often install equipment.

On the other hand, the German equipment has the advantage that the tolerances are so small that it is easy to install, almost all spare parts can be used, and sometimes the worker can look at the installation instructions and complete the installation work alone. Unlike some Chinese-made equipment, the tolerance is so large that the screws cannot be universal, and there can be four or five kinds of screws on a 3-square-meter component surface. There are unspoken rules for the installation of some fasteners, not the people of the factory, and you can't find the left three circles and the right three circles, and in turn screw the secret.

Many old workers who came over during the sports era, although their own skills are not very good, as long as they remember enough unspoken rules, they can mix very well, all relying on the help of different local state-owned enterprises.

Shulan then continued to chat with the Germans, and at the same time persuaded him to come to work in China.

As she spoke, the Germanic man could only follow her words and ask, "If I come to China, how much will I be paid?" My salary in Germany is more than $3,000. ”

Denominated in US dollars because the exchange rate of the Deutsche Mark has increased. Like the yen, Germany has been forced to appreciate, but not to the point of Japan. So, the purchasing power of a German worker's salary is actually less than $3,000.

Shu Lan silently calculated and said, "In this case, your monthly salary will be 15,000 yuan." ”

"And it's a five-day work week, a statutory holiday. The German man said proudly.

Hearing this, Sioux City said softly, "Finn." If you bring your team in, I'll pay you double the salary. ”

"$6,000?"

"$6,000, your team's salary. "Sioux City means, naturally, less than double the salary.

The Germans have no doubt about the strength of Sioux City, and the boss who can buy billions of dollars of equipment and pay an annual salary of more than 70,000 dollars is naturally simpler. But he hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard that the salary in China is very low, is it necessary for you to give me such a high salary?"

Su Cheng saw his thoughts and said, "If you want, you can sign a long-term contract, and you don't have to worry about me firing you afterwards." As for whether it's necessary, I pay BASF more than $50 million a year for training, and if you can help me save that money, that's fine. ”

"I'm just an engineer and I don't know that much technology. Familiar with maybe only drawing and welding......"

"Can you find someone who is familiar with technology?"

"Well, it's not that easy to ......"

"You find a useful one, and once we hire it, we will give you a 10% commission. It doesn't matter if it's not BASF, as long as he meets our requirements. "The fastest way to increase technology is undoubtedly mergers and acquisitions and poaching. It takes years, maybe decades, to train a person, but it only takes a few months to poach him, and the training cost is saved, which can be used for labor wages.

China's private enterprises have always been the vanguard of poaching. As early as the 80s, they poached large state-owned factories in a hurry, but it was only because of the iron rice bowl status of state-owned enterprises that they did not dig up state-owned enterprises. But since the 90s, more and more private enterprises have succeeded in poaching state-owned enterprises with several times their salaries. Sioux City poached foreign companies, in fact, only 10 years earlier.

Finn originally said it casually, which was considered to be cooperating with his employer, but when Su Cheng said this, he was moved. He hesitated and asked, "You mean really?"

"Of course, if you find a suitable technician, I mean, if you have a level of skill that can catch up with the technician who trains our staff, I'll give you 10% of the salary, $6,000. ”

"10% of the annual salary. Finn couldn't contain his greed now. German workers are paid very well, they spend a lot of money, and the increase in wages is very small. In this regard, they are very much like workers in state-owned enterprises, living well but with little living money, and having the opportunity to earn extra money, which is quite exciting.

Moreover, at Finn's age, it is easy to find a job in itself. Going to China for a few years to pan for gold, and then returning to China to find another job, by the way, solves the problem of buying a car and a house, which is a way for many Germans to pursue financial freedom. The mercenaries before the war and the exported laborers after the war were all the same.

Fein has also been in China for some days and knows that the level of consumption here is low. Even if you live in a hotel, you can have a lot of money left over in a year, and after paying taxes, it is estimated that it is higher than your original salary.

After thinking for a while, he said softly, "I have to discuss it with my family." ”

Su Cheng nodded and didn't say anything more. In front of foreigners, he mostly appears as a boss and speaks very little.

Shulan made a cheering gesture and said with a smile: "You can continue to study, Germany has continuing education." In the future, you don't have to stay on the construction site all year round. ”

Finn smiled wryly and thought: I am a major, and I have a doctorate, and I don't want to come to the construction site.

Sioux City is looking even further.

Dahua's workers have successively installed five 100,000-ton methanol plants and have accumulated considerable experience. In addition to their own training, the ethylene equipment was also helped by the Yangtze ethylene team sent by Sinopec, and the progress was very fast.

However, in order to prove itself and attract investment, the current base is not obvious enough.

Su Cheng thought for a while, called Yang Ming, and said, "You guys discuss, let's set up a completion award, based on the current time, every day in advance of the completion of the progress, we will give a bonus, the specific amount, you calculate it and show it to me." ”

Completion awards are nothing new at this point. There are many engineering projects that have begun to adopt this method, and completing the project as soon as possible will significantly increase Party A's income, and it always hurts for Party B to make more money. It can be counted as a win-win for money.

However, for military companies such as Xinxing Group, state-owned enterprises such as Sinopec, foreign companies such as BASF Group, and countless ordinary Chinese engineering teams of large, medium and small enterprises, it does take a lot of thought to set an appropriate completion bonus.
