Chapter 124: A Chance Encounter
readx;
Liu Gang has been in the town for more than a month, and he has never been in the factory or anything, and Lu Feng was originally in the Qianfeng Village Primary School, and he was seconded to the town to basically engage in writing work, and both of them are very young, and in those factories, basically no one knows him, and the two have walked four or five factories in succession, and no one recognizes them, these factories are not big, there are dozens of people in a factory, there are no factories with hundreds of people, there are town-run enterprises, and there are also private enterprises, although there is no factory that is very good, but the wages are still paid, Of course, the wages are not high, and the wage standard in the town is just that, but the consumption in the town is not high, but it can get by.

"There don't seem to be any factories and mines ahead! Mayor Mare, shall we move on? After walking along the side of the highway to five factories and mines, and also walking a few kilometers away, Lu Feng asked in a low voice.
"There seems to be a restaurant not far ahead, let's go over for lunch!" Liu Gang looked at the time, it was also twelve o'clock, and said with a smile, there are indeed no factories in front, there are, that is, a few small family-style workshops and the like, there is no need to check, of course, the meal is to be eaten, and it is too late to go back to eat at this time, so it can only be eaten.
Continue to walk only about 100 meters, a farmhouse restaurant appeared in front of you, although it is a farmhouse restaurant, but the scale of the restaurant is not small, Liu Gang drove by here many times, naturally, I also saw this restaurant, the restaurant not only sells food, but also sells mutton, about the same time, half of the mutton is hung under the eaves.
"What are you going to eat, two young men......?" a young girl greeted warmly.
"Mayor Liu......" Liu Gang was about to speak, when suddenly a car drove over and stopped outside the door, and a person hurriedly got down from the co-pilot.
"Director Wu, you are also coming to eat!" Liu Gang looked back, but it was Wu Gangxuan, the director of the cement plant, but soon, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Dad, you're back...... You are Mayor Liu......" While Liu Gang greeted Wu Gangxuan, the young girl called Wu Gangxuan affectionately, and while speaking, she also remembered her father's name, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Girl, how do you speak, call Uncle Liu...... I'm sorry, let Mayor Liu smile, this is the little girl Wu Yue...... "Wu Gangxuan is obviously a person who is not good at words.
"Liu ......" Wu Yue looked at Liu Gang, but the uncle couldn't scream, she was nineteen years old at this time, and Liu Gang in front of her was not much older than her.
"Hehe, my name is Liu Gang, just call me by my name!" Liu Gang said with a smile.
"Mayor Liu, do you eat mutton soup pot? The mutton soup pot made by my mother is the most authentic......" Liu Gang's name, Wu Yue obviously didn't dare to call it.
"Little girl, what do you have to say, go and bring it quickly...... Mayor Liu, sit in the house! Wu Gangxuan greeted Liu Gang warmly, and Wu Yue ran to the kitchen in a hurry.
"Hehe, I'm bothering Director Wu!" Liu Gang knew that today's meal could only be eaten in vain, and it would definitely be impossible for Wu Gangxuan to let them give money, and at this time, people had already come in, and it was impossible to leave, so he didn't have any more hypocrisy or anything.
"What's the matter, Mayor Liu, but we can't invite a distinguished guest!" Wu Gangxuan said busily, he respects Liu Gang from the bottom of his heart, although the problem of the cement plant at this time cannot be completely solved, but it is undoubtedly that everyone sees hope, so that he, the director of the production plant, sees hope. And most importantly, Liu Gang let the big moth Yang Jian be punished by the law.
"Director Wu, I came here just now to see that the cement factory is smoking, and it is already in normal production, right?" Liu Gang asked with a smile.
"Well, in the past few days, the workers have been very energetic and have basically resumed normal production. Thank you, Mayor Yoo! Wu Gangxuan's honest voice was full of sincerity.
"It's good to be able to produce normally!" Liu Gang nodded, the investment in Jinyang Cement Plant, after all, is only the preliminary inspection stage, the cement plant itself, can not completely wait for others to invest, otherwise, if the investment fails, what can the cement plant do? Therefore, he was very satisfied with Wu Gangxuan's rapid organization of production.
"Although the equipment of the cement plant is old, however, it has not yet reached the time when it can not be used completely, as long as the management is good, it can basically maintain normal production, some time ago, the living expenses were paid for several months, and the hearts of the workers were scattered, how could they still be in the mood to work......" Wu Gangxuan is obviously a person who has a deep affection for the cement factory, and when it comes to the cement plant, it is basically a gushing thing.
Wu Gangxuan's words also made Liu Gang's worries about the cement plant completely put aside, the situation of the cement plant is far from being as bad as imagined, the main equipment of the cement plant is completely able to operate normally, but the maintenance cost is higher, and when Yang Jian was the director of the factory, he controlled the money very hard, did not buy the spare parts that should be bought, did not maintain the maintenance, or the spare parts purchased were of very poor quality, and the equipment was naturally often problematic. For a production enterprise like a cement plant, a problem with one equipment may affect the entire enterprise to stop production, and frequent shutdown will not only reduce output, but also seriously affect the quality, causing many unnecessary losses.
"The sales department has also performed well during this time, all of them have been sent out, and in a few days, more than 300,000 payments have been recovered, and two payments have been classified into dead accounts, all of which have been recovered by them. Factory Director Li called in the morning and said that it was possible to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars in the next few days, and he said that he would strive to recover 1 million yuan before the end of this year. Speaking of sales, Wu Gangxuan's eyebrows fluttered.
"If you get back a million dollars, what are you going to do with it?" At this time, the soup pot was also on the table in the morning, Liu Gang asked casually while eating, Wu Gangxuan's words made him feel at ease with Li Weiran, these so-called recovery funds, most of them are Li Weiran's embezzled funds, such a disposal method, Liu Gang has no opinion, his purpose is to take back the money, as for what way, he doesn't want to interfere, Li Weiran used this inconspicuous way to solve the problem, which can be regarded as a smarter way, that is, to return the money, but also to maintain his own image.
"A few of us discussed, in addition to the necessary funds to maintain production, we are going to use this money to buy workers' social security funds, many workers have worked for the factory for decades, and they can't get a pension when they retire, and it is difficult to even guarantee their lives......" Speaking of the situation of the old workers, Wu Gangxuan was a little ashamed, after all, he was the deputy director in charge of production of the cement plant.
"Well, these problems should be solved as soon as possible, although the surname is paid more at a time, but these people have entered the social security, there is security, and the burden of your factory will be reduced a lot, in the long run, it is beneficial!" In charge of labor security, and in the restructuring office for such a period of time, Liu Gang for social security, also has some understanding, social security for the factory, is very cost-effective, after all, like this kind of social security, the state is given a lot of support, the factory once the surname to pay the social security funds, definitely than the annual payment of retirement wages and easy more, but because the number of funds paid by a surname is somewhat large, many business leaders are willing to drag, not willing to pay.
For those enterprises, Liu Gang was very incomprehensible at first, these things are obviously very cost-effective, why are these companies unwilling to pay? However, I gradually understood that whether it is these township enterprises, state-owned enterprises, or factory directors or whatever, they are all appointed from above, just like these political axe leaders, who knows how long they can stay in that position? Although it is cost-effective to pay social security with a surname, it is necessary to take out so much money at a time, not to mention that for enterprises with poor efficiency, it is a good enterprise, which is also a relatively large burden, and the annual payment of pension, although it is not cost-effective, but the amount paid every year is much less, and the burden of the enterprise is much smaller. Maybe they'll just be transferred.
There are not many retired workers in the cement factory, after all, the cement plant has only a history of more than 20 years, and later, when the factory was built in Liulin, almost one-third of the skilled old workers were taken away, and a group of new people were supplemented, however, the cement plant was in their fifties, and there were many people who were close to retirement, and the old factory for more than 20 years, the young man in his twenties who participated in the work at that time is now in his fifties, and he is also about to retire at the age of retirement. That is, according to age and length of service, you can pay as much as you can, and then solve the remaining employees when you have funds.
Wu Gangxuan's arrangement of funds also made Liu Gang have a little more recognition of Wu Gangxuan, although he didn't understand Wu Gangxuan's ability, but for Wu Gangxuan's character, it was at least agreed, as for Wu Gangxuan's ability, he did not doubt that in just a few days, the cement plant could resume production, and the things that should be considered should be considered and thoughtful, which is also a kind of ability in itself.
The two talked about the specific situation of some cement plants, as well as the prospects of the cement industry, the unfavorable factors of building a cement plant in Liuhe, etc., for the cement industry, Wu Gangxuan said, it is the first way, and it also makes Liu Gang less worried about whether it is suitable to build a cement plant in Liuhe, the transportation cost of cement, although it is indeed something that must be considered, but it is not the most critical issue, the cement plant is almost in a relatively remote place, after all, limestone cannot be on the plain, it is in the mountains, Like the cement factory near Linshan, their limestone is fainted from dozens of miles away, and the cost of transporting limestone and cement, if not completely offset, can offset most of it.
