Shenzhen, October 1, 1981. The first batch www.biquge.info of 50,000 laser head components was transported to the humble port of Shenzhen by a cargo ship from the Netherlands to China on a cargo ship from the Netherlands to China. Although, this batch of formations is not even enough to fit a container, but no one can ignore its amazing value!

Each laser head costs $300, and 50,000 is $15 million. Just a few containers are so expensive that when the port unloads the goods, even military vehicles are sent to escort them.

After the container scratched the truck and transported it to the factory, Xinai Electronics Factory began to accelerate its production capacity in an orderly manner after collecting the core components.

Using cheap labor, production is organized in an environment where there are few advanced machines in sight. This was originally the main production mode of factories in the south of China in the early days of reform and opening up.

In fact, not only is production organized in China, but also the current way of organizing production in factories in Hong Kong and Taiwan is also this kind of more workshop-style pressing. At present, the conditions of Taiwan's Hon Hai (Foxconn) are even inferior to Xinai Electronics. However, with the development of time, this kind of labor-intensive production line, as long as the enterprise operator pays a little attention to technological upgrading, sooner or later it will be transformed into an advanced production line with higher and higher technology content.

After the parts arrived at the factory, the engineers and technicians in China were already confident enough to start the assembly staff to expand production.

In addition, Xinai Electronics' Shenzhen factory guarantees that CD players will be available in the near future, and they can guarantee a production capacity of more than 30,000 units per month - as long as the supply of laser head components is sufficient.

"You can't do it! I mean 1,000 units a day, perhaps, some of your workers can assemble CD players with screwdrivers, but the real mass production can only be the assembly line equipment to arrive in China. Dutch technician Jack Philips insists.

"Take a month's work as a bet, if we can achieve more than 1,000 units a day of industrial mass production, I win, you lose. Otherwise, you win!"

"It's not fair, your month's salary is only worth 1 day's salary of mine. Jack Philips hesitated.

"Do you dare to bet? You're still not a man? It's just a month's salary!" the Chinese technician spied him.

"Well, bet on it!" and just like that, Dutchman Jack Philips lost a month's salary - more than $9,000!

"Too ...... It's astonishing! It seems that I still know too little about you Chinese workers!" Jack Philips, a technician from Philips, was sent to Shenzhen and made a bet with the Chinese technicians that it would be impossible to produce CD players on a large scale without advanced equipment.

"If you want to gamble and lose, you won't pay the bills, right?" said a young Chinese technician with a smile.

"Of course!" Jack Philips gritted his teeth and handed over the financial staff, a month's salary he had lost, to the Chinese who bet with him.

……

With a daily production capacity of more than 1,000 units, it can be said that it is already considered mass production.

When the production line is put into operation, it is expected that the daily production capacity will exceed 10,000 units, which is the Dutchman's estimate of production efficiency. The same set of equipment is in the hands of Chinese workers, and after they are proficient, then the efficiency can be increased by more than 20,000 units per day, as long as there are enough parts.

The Dutch work about 4 hours a day per capita, most of the Dutch people do not like to learn knowledge, do not like to work, and even a large number of people eat welfare at home, and do not plan to go out to find a job, after all, the Netherlands rich resource export, has created huge income, to provide good welfare to its citizens, so, Europe has produced a term - Dutch disease!

In this case, most of the jobs in Philips are no longer available in the Netherlands, so it is only natural for companies like Philips to subcontract their business globally.

The Dutch technicians mistakenly measured the Chinese workers of this era by the willingness of Dutch workers to work and study and study.

In fact, the Chinese workers of this era, except for the state-owned enterprises that eat in a big pot, all other enterprises have exerted their human potential to the limit for the sake of survival.

No matter how simple the working environment is, as long as the salary and treatment are sufficient, the workers will study frantically and quickly study a set of feasible production plans.

"It's not that we don't need a production line, it's that we can't just wait for the production line to be installed before we start organizing production, which would be too slow. At present, China's biggest dividend lies in the tens of millions of high-quality veteran skilled workers. As long as our old skilled workers are still there, then, no matter how humble the environment, we can complete the industrial products that can be manufactured by human hands. Cao Jing, a veteran technician over 60 years old, explained.

Jack Philips couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard this, and said: "It's still the old workers of the past who are more reliable, and we are about the same in Europe." There are many young people in their twenties and thirties, who talk rhetorically, but very few are willing to do things patiently. As a result, a lot of complicated and boring work can only be done by relying on forty or fifty old workers. ”

"Our young workers, although a little bit behind, are willing to study hard. After all, we offer a salary that far exceeds that of other units. Cao Jing, an old technician, said proudly.

This veteran mechanic, who used to support the third-line project, went to the mountains to dig holes, hid machinery and equipment in the mountains, and carried out production. Under this model, the quality of technical personnel is required to be comprehensive, rather than specialized. Industrial capacity is also decentralized, not concentrated. This line of thinking is based on the premise that a large-scale all-out war may break out.

Of course, a world war or a nuclear war has never broken out, and after the reform and opening up, the high-level leaders have made a judgment that the probability of a world war breaking out in the next few decades is not very high, so they have gradually developed the coastal areas.

The practice of reform and opening up is of course correct, but there are also huge mistakes. For example, for the sake of economic development, factories in third-tier cities that have invested a lot of money and resources in the past have been abandoned, resulting in a great waste of resources.

In particular, due to the waste of human resources, many skilled and skilled workers in state-owned enterprises retired early in order for their children to be able to replace their positions. The replacement of young people with little skills and no experience has further deteriorated the efficiency of state-owned enterprises.

What's even more wasteful is that a bunch of technicians in their early fifties originally possessed a single technology, and even if these young people are willing to learn, they can't master it in ten or twenty years. And these talents with better quality will give up their jobs to young people who have returned to the city or are waiting for work with worse quality.

The period of the lowest efficiency of state-owned enterprises is not before the reform and opening up, on the contrary, it is the 80s ~ 90s, the era of encouraging youth, and the efficiency of state-owned enterprises has dropped to the freezing point. Because, a large number of young people who don't know anything have replaced the old technicians with rich production experience and solid technical level.

Many short-sighted enterprises in China regard these elderly people as a burden. However, at the suggestion of Lin Qi, Rong Jian hired these old workers in enterprises across the country.

As a result, Xinai Electronics does not pay attention to "youth" for technical personnel, but engages in "aging" against the general trend of history.

The so-called political correctness of "rejuvenation" is essentially nothing more than the fact that the state cannot solve the employment of young people, and it is forced to encourage the elderly to retire early and give up their jobs. Politically, this is true, after all, the more unemployed young people are, the more unstable society is.

But at the enterprise level, this is not necessarily true. In particular, the wages of skilled old workers are not too high, so it is the priority to recruit these experienced old workers with their ability to recruit people, rather than young people who don't know anything and need to learn slowly.

Moreover, experienced old skilled workers, they can also bring the old with the new.

An old mechanic like Cao Jing, Xinai Electronics Factory has not one thousand but eight hundred. Some countries have been withdrawn from various units, but more are the corners that enterprises have taken the initiative to dig up later.

In this era, college students who have just graduated, the state uniformly allocates jobs, and Xinai Electronics can't grab a few, but these retired old people, no one will rob them, right?
