Chapter 324: Investment Promotion
In front of the gate of Haicang Petrochemical Base, the Haicang County Government has built a commercial street, with a bank at one end and a government service hall at the other.
The service hall includes more than 20 departments such as taxation, industry and commerce, safety supervision, health, and overseas Chinese affairs.
Haicang County completed these works as early as a few days ago, and the county also deliberately moved some merchants over, so that the commercial streets not only have food, drink and shopping, but also a wide variety of types, reaching the level of ordinary county towns at this time.
Secretary Jin touched his half-bare head and said with a smile: "The entry of Dahua Industrial Group has stimulated the economy of the region. Thinking that the petrochemical base will have a scale of 50,000 or 60,000 people in the future, I am also excited......"
Su Cheng laughed twice, thinking to himself, Dahua's methanol project has been done for a year, and I haven't seen you say that it will stimulate the regional economy.
The mayor also praised with a smile: "Investment is rich land." As government officials, we must do our best to provide good services, and pro-business, safe business, and pro-business are our main tasks. Whether it is in terms of employee life or traffic safety, Dahua does not have to worry. ”
Secretary Jin hurriedly picked it up and said, "Yes, yes, after hearing the news that Dahua Industrial took over the Haicang plan, our county party committee immediately organized a meeting of team members. Specific arrangements have been made for all kinds of work. By the way, we are going to build a police station in the petrochemical base, which also has more than 100 square kilometers and a population of more than 50,000, which is completely in line with the regulations. You can also give some advice. ”
Sioux City listened with sweat on his head. During the time he worked in Shengli Oilfield, he also saw some grassroots work styles. But I haven't seen the way the local grassroots do things. Secretary Jin invited the candidate to meet Su Cheng, and made it clear that he was asked to choose the director of the police station. In this way, wouldn't it be equivalent to the police station being opened by the enterprise?
If he is asked to choose people, if he is dissatisfied in the future, will he be able to change the personnel again? Su Cheng suddenly thought of the security section in the state-owned enterprises, those large state-owned enterprises that are bullish and coaxing, and the security department has always supported the police station to turn around. Especially in the early 80s. The police station even has to plan and use oil, and the resources of state-owned enterprises are abundant, so you can show a little bit between your fingers. It's enough for the police station to eat and drink, but the result is that the police station is poor, and only by following the security department can it be better.
The same is not true of the current environment for attracting investment. Secretary Jin is bent on currying favor with Sioux City. For institutions such as police stations, it is completely incompatible.
The county magistrate next to him finally found the topic, and also said there: "Our county has recently purchased a fire extinguisher, and we are also preparing to place one in Dahua Industry, not afraid of 10,000 in case." If Su Dong doesn't have any taboos, we will arrange it. ”
"In Dahua's factory, fire extinguishing devices will be installed uniformly. Of course, if there is any surplus in the county and arrange for the petrochemical base, it would be very thankful. "Sioux City knows. Fire trucks are a big thing, and the county can't have any of them. However, their kindness also makes sense, at least experienced firefighters are better and more formal than Dahua's own recruitment. The end result. It is likely that Dahua Industrial donated several fire trucks and related equipment to the county and petrochemical bases.
Huo Chang listened to them, coughed lightly, and said: "The Haicang Petrochemical Base did not have 50,000 people in the early days, and if it was Dahua's employees, it was estimated that there would not even be 10,000 people. ”
"How?" said the documents we saw. The base is estimated to be more than 50,000 people, and it may eventually reach 100,000 people...... "Secretary Jin was surprised, they still care more about the number of people, this is an easily attractive data, although it is not really important.
Huo Chang looked at Su Cheng, and then explained in a low voice: "The documents you see may be based on the analysis of Sinopec's Yangtze Ethylene Project, and the equipment they use is advanced equipment from the 60s, and it was installed too late." The latest product we use from BASF in Germany, the ethylene equipment that was finalized three years ago, reduces the use of labor, and the corresponding maintenance and supporting requirements are also reduced. ”
"From 50,000 to 10,000?"
"From 30,000 to less than 10,000. The specific number of people will not be known until the equipment is installed, and each time the equipment is installed, there will be different problems. Huo Chang continued: "The number of supporting factories is estimated to fluctuate. If they use advanced robots, the number of people will be very low, and if they use all people, the number of people will increase a lot. ”
Secretary Jin's eyes widened and he asked, "Can you use people? I mean, isn't it cheaper to use people?"
Su Cheng and Huo Chang both made a deep groan.
Zhang Chao came back from studying abroad, and worked in Dahua for two years, but still not fully localized, and explained with a smile: "For example, large ethylene equipment must be produced continuously for 724 hours, and if workers work in three shifts, the labor cost will be relatively high, the price of medical insurance will also increase, plus the management cost, it is better to use the machine as much as possible." ”
"Our labor cost is very low, if you think it is expensive, we can come forward to help you reduce it. Do you think the monthly salary is acceptable, and 150 yuan is okay?"
Due to the hyperinflation of the early 90s, workers' wages have lagged far behind the price level, and even so, the wages of ordinary workers in 1991 were above 150 yuan. The county magistrate's proposal can be said to be the minimum wage.
Zhang Chao didn't expect that government officials would help workers lower prices, and he wanted to say something, but he held back, after all, the reduction of workers' wages is good for the company.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the county magistrate gritted his teeth and said, "If 150 yuan is too much, we can find a way to reduce it to 120 yuan, and the workers who have just entered the factory can be 100 yuan." In that case, can you use a lot of people to operate the machine?"
Secretary Jin looked at the expressions of the Dahua people and explained: "Our county was an agricultural county in history, and the money earned from tending to the land was too small. We've been waiting for the petrochemical base for three or four years, and now that you're here, we're wondering if you can help us solve some workers. Let everyone have a class and a salary, Dahua can also reduce costs and make more money, right?"
Their reasons, Sioux City did not like very much. Solve the problem of unemployment, but by lowering the wages of workers. It is equivalent to eating another big pot of rice, and in the end, the workers with the minimum wage lose their enthusiasm for learning. Either give up the job in the factory and leave, or just eat and wait for death, it is difficult to burst out the enthusiasm of learning.
For skilled trades. If you are 20 years old, you can eat youth rice, and if you do a general attack after 30 years old, not only can you not support your family, but it is also difficult for your body to support. Whether from a macro or micro perspective, solving the employment problem in the form of lowering wage standards is fundamentally putting the cart before the horse.
If it is just for people to have a bite to eat, why should the state take measures to lay off workers from state-owned enterprises?
However, Secretary Jin's reason is always a reason, and Su Cheng has no position to refute it in a righteous and stern manner.
Therefore. After a short silence, Su Cheng spoke: "When we attract investment, we will make a special explanation to Taiwanese businessmen and ask them to consider hiring more workers. Instead of procuring machines. ”
"Great. The county magistrate was overjoyed, and said, "Can Dahua also increase some employees?" 20,000?"
"Dahua's human resources system has different standards. Su Cheng stopped there, and didn't want to say more.
The county magistrate didn't give up, and said with a smile: "What standards does Su Dong have, we will try our best to achieve them." If Dahua can guarantee the employment of 10,000 workers from Haicang......"
"Lao Lu ......" Mayor Tang Anke covered his mouth with his hands. Coughed.
The county magistrate seemed to understand, and hurriedly said: "Yes, if Dahua can guarantee to hire more than 10,000 people from our Xiamen, we will find a way to reduce your salary to 100 yuan." How can this be? There are indeed quite a few laid-off workers at present, and the surplus labor force in the rural areas cannot be ignored......
"Dahua's current minimum wage standard has exceeded 600 yuan. Su Cheng interrupted the county magistrate's words, lest the more he talked, the more outrageous he became.
The county magistrate was surprised and said, "The minimum 600 means that if you enter the factory in Dahua, you will have a salary of 600?"
Zhang Chao couldn't help it for a long time, and said cracklingly: "600 yuan is the salary of our first-level workers, and the fourth-level workers have 1,000 yuan, and the wages during overtime are doubled, and there are various incentives and subsidies, and it is not uncommon for an ordinary fourth-level technical worker to get 2,000 yuan a month." ”
"That's not higher than the railroad workers. "In China in 1991, the highest-paying industry was the railway. The average annual salary is more than 3,000 yuan, and almost everyone has a monthly salary of 300 yuan. In contrast, the average annual salary of state organs is only 2,380 yuan, which is less than 200 yuan per month. Moreover, the 90s was the beginning of the implementation of the railway work efficiency linkage and the "100 content" wage package, the effect was excellent, and the front-line workers even received a salary of more than 4,000 yuan, which is equivalent to twice the civil service system, which is a veritable iron rice bowl.
During this time period, the person who sharpens his head and drills into the railway is simply an investment regardless of the cost.
Hearing Dahua's salary standard, even Tang Anke couldn't calm down, and said: "With such a high salary, there must be higher requirements." ”
Su Cheng smiled slightly and said, "We have higher requirements for the skills, attitudes and other aspects of the employees. Dahua recruits openly to the whole society every year. Local laid-off workers, if they have skills and vitality, can try to apply for Dahua, and our recruitment plan this year will also be tilted towards the local area. However, increasing the number of workers may not be satisfied, our equipment has already begun to be manufactured in Germany, and some equipment has even been shipped on ships and cannot be changed at will. ”
The county magistrate was embarrassed to speak anymore, but now he understood that Dahua cared not about wages, but about the level of workers.
The atmosphere suddenly stiffened. Li Lin jumped out at the right time and smiled: "I am Li Lin, the head of Dahua's public relations department, and some people may know me." Our department is subordinate to the headquarters of Dahua Group, and the salary standard is compared with the first line, and the salary is slightly lower, but there are often opportunities to pay bonuses, and it is in the office. If you have relatives and friends at home, please recommend them to our department. ”
Sure enough, an official asked with concern: "What does the public relations department do?"
Li Lin smiled like a fox and said: "The corporate public relations image is to erect a good image of Dahua in the society, mainly in three aspects, to have a good relationship with the public, to have a good relationship with the media, and to have a good relationship with the government. This is my business card. ”
Everyone suddenly realized. If you send your relatives and friends to Dahua's public relations department, it is estimated that these relatives and friends will come to public relations themselves in the future.
Sioux looked at it with a smile. Dahua's public relations department is an independent department within Dahua, with its own culture and special system, and they can assimilate relatives and friends much faster than they can be assimilated by relatives and friends.
Because of the ability to realize personal value, there are not a few middle-level and large-level officials who are tired of joining the Dahua Public Relations Division, and they are serious about going to work.
Of course, as long as the goal of corporate public relations can be achieved, Li Lin does not care whether they go to work seriously at the dinner party or go home for dinner and work seriously. This is also the way most multinational companies do government public relations, if you recruit a young person who has just graduated from college and doesn't know anything to do public relations, and wants to impress people with sincerity, it will be either a horror movie or a Japanese TV series, and it will never be reality.
On the contrary, if they are recruited and given proper management and inducement, they can create unimaginable value.
In European and American countries, many rich second-generation officials and second-generation officials often choose to start as public relations. Their high level of trust and exposure to the target population, combined with the company's resources and strategy, is a win-win situation. It is not uncommon for corporate PR to be made political PR and political PR to be a White House staff.
There are also more advanced corporate PRs, which simply hire retired senior government officials with high salaries. For example, an arms company hired a Pentagon general as a defense adviser to tackle the Pentagon along the way. Hiring a senior official of the Japanese Defense Agency as a special executive officer, and tackling the Defense Agency by the way, is easy to use and safe.
This kind of use of the generation of public relations is currently only available in academia and state-owned enterprises, and Sioux City is very cautious about it. Li Lin can only regretfully think of a way in the second generation.
However, compared with the self-righteous trading of money and power and power trading of many domestic enterprises, Dahua's methods are naturally more advanced and cleaner.
With Li Lin joining, the topic quickly changed, and the county magistrate quietly bowed his head and apologized, no longer talking about recruitment.
Mayor Tang used an educational tone to say to the county magistrate and others, saying: "It is the benefactors who come to help us attract investment, the businessmen who come to invest in us are relatives, the cadres who can open up the situation of attracting investment are capable people, and the sinners who affect the investment environment." We must seize the historic opportunity, be neither arrogant nor rash, and forge ahead bravely......"
The deafening applause fully illustrates the number of officials who care about the petrochemical base!
