Wang Baohu drove an American jeep and pulled Zhu Tiejun and Lin Zhenhua to a small restaurant. The three of them walked in, Zhu Tiejun asked for two dishes, and then ordered four taels of wine, and Lin Zhenhua had two taels of one person. Lin Zhenhua was secretly glad that Zhu Tiejun was not so crazy when he drank, or he would have to lie down.

Wang Baohu wants to drive, so naturally he can't drink. Lin Zhenhua and Zhu Tiejun took a sip and drank for a while, Zhu Tiejun slowly calmed down his emotions, and said to himself: "Alas, in fact, I have also figured it out, this is like a veteran in the army who retired from the army, people came to serve as soldiers at the age of 18, and when they are in their 20s, they have to let the family go back and get married." Although I know that it is not easy to train a good soldier, I have to let him retire from the army. It's the same with the workers, who should go, but can't stay. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's what I said, but it's a pity that a master like Peng Gang, who is only 49 years old, is in the prime of life, so he retired early for the sake of his children." ”

"What if you don't let them go back? There are so many recruitment indicators for a year, and there are all kinds of related households to arrange people to come in, and it is our own workers' children's turn, and we can solve three or four in a year. We have more than 100 unemployed children, if we don't take the road of substitution, when will we be able to arrange it? ”

"However, as soon as these masters leave, a lot of work really can't be played." Lin Zhenhua said that he is not the deputy chief of the technical department in vain, and he has been familiar with the technical situation of the Hanhua factory in the past few months, and knows that many of these workers have unique skills in their hands, and there is really no one in the younger generation who can withstand it.

"Isn't it, like Master Sun Changyuan in the metalworking workshop, a seventh-level fitter, our centrifugal pumps are all pointed at him and assembled, and as soon as he leaves, the production of centrifugal pumps will become a problem." Zhu Tiejun said.

Lin Zhenhua knows this, fitter is one of the oldest types of work in the industrial field, the development of the machine industry in the past 100 years, eliminated many traditional manual work, but the role of fitters has never been replaced. Even until the seven-axis, nine-axis, and eleven-axis CNC machining centers have been invented, some of the most precise molds, measuring tools, guide rail surfaces, bearings, etc., still need to rely on excellent fitters to process them by hand.

In the Hanhua factory, there was a somewhat legendary story: a fertilizer factory in a certain place bought a centrifugal pump produced by the Hanhua factory, and it was used very well at first. Later, the mechanics of the fertilizer plant took the centrifugal pump apart and did some maintenance work. When they put the centrifugal pump back in its original state, they found that the noise of the machine was more than twice as loud, and it was terrifying to hear.

At a meeting in the Light Chemical Industry Hall, the director of the fertilizer plant talked about the incident and had some criticism about the quality of the products of the Hanhua plant. At that time, the director of the Hanhua factory was also at the meeting, and when he heard this, he couldn't hold his face, and when he returned to the factory, he immediately sent a fitter to the fertilizer factory to check the condition of the machine.

It is said that after the fitter arrived at the fertilizer factory, he asked the mechanic of the other party to disassemble the machine again, and then stepped forward in person, lifted a cylinder block from the machine, put it back again, and then asked the mechanic to install the machine for testing. He just mentioned it like this, and after turning it on, the cacophony of noise miraculously disappeared.

This fitter master is the Sun Changyuan that Zhu Tiejun said. To the uninitiated, it seems very simple to mention and put it away, but in fact, there is a lot of way. If the center of gravity of high-speed rotating equipment is deviated, there will be shaking, loud noise and other phenomena, and Sun Changchang's ability lies in the fact that he can judge the position of the center of gravity as long as he uses his hand, and then find a suitable angle to assemble the parts into it.

This kind of technology is not something that anyone can learn if they want to, to master it, one is to have rich experience, the other is to have a unique understanding, and those who have these two points at the same time are the best workers.

However, such workers have to leave their jobs early because they have to make room for their children.

"Director Zhu, I think that masters like Peng Gang and Sun Yuanyuan, the factory can agree to their retirement, but they can be rehired in the future." Lin Zhenhua proposed.

"Rehire? What do you mean? Zhu Tiejun didn't understand.

"Even though these people are retired, the factory still needs them, so they will be rehired and let them go back to work in the factory." Lin Zhenhua said that the method of re-employment is very common in scientific research institutes in later generations, and after some old professors retire, the institute will hire them back to let them exert their residual heat. Lin Zhenhua's mentor Yao Heliang is already in his 70s, but the old man is in good health, so he was not only rehired, but also able to supervise graduate students.

"How is this possible, who pays them?" Zhu Tiejun shook his head and said, "After these people retire from illness, they will definitely not stay at home, maybe they will go to some township enterprises to help." Although the money given by the township enterprises is small, it is still money after all. ”

"Our factory can also give money." Lin Zhenhua said, "Re-employment is to be paid according to the formal employment, I think, people like Master Peng, if the treatment given in the factory is similar, they will definitely be more willing to go back to work in the factory, and will not go to the small factory in the township." I have also been in contact with those small township factories, all of which produce some small agricultural machinery, how can we enjoy the things produced by Hanhua factory? ”

Zhu Tiejun said: "Your idea is very good, but where does the factory give money?" All expenses in the factory are regulated, and there is no such expenditure item as rehiring. ”

"It's a nuisance." Lin Zhenhua realized that he was too naïve, in the early 80s, state-owned enterprises were very disciplined, not as flexible as later generations. To hire a retired employee, at least the approval of the Department of Light Chemical Industry is required, and the trouble is unimaginable.

Zhu Tiejun sighed: "Our company is like a child daughter-in-law, and it is not even as good as a child daughter-in-law." There is only one mother-in-law above the child daughter-in-law, and there are dozens of mothers-in-law at the head of our business, and anyone can take care of you, and you can't move it casually. If I come to be a leader, I will let the enterprise figure out its own way, as long as you can do a good job in production, do not violate national policies, you can do whatever you want. ”

Another private economist, Lin Zhenhua secretly exclaimed. In fact, in the environment at that time, there were many leaders of state-owned enterprises with Zhu Tiejun's idea, and the famous "Qiao's Appointment Record" reflected this desire to engage in the factory director responsibility system. In September of that year, the State Council approved and forwarded the State Economic Commission's "Report on the Situation and Future Opinions on the Pilot Work of Expanding the Autonomy of Enterprises," proposing that starting in 1981, the work of expanding the autonomy of enterprises should be comprehensively popularized among state-owned industrial enterprises, so that enterprises would have greater autonomy in the areas of personnel, property, production, supply, and marketing. According to the report, the pilot enterprises have the right to decide on their own organizational setup and staffing, appoint and dismiss cadres at and below the middle level, and have the right to dismiss employees in accordance with labor discipline. Compared with the mechanism of today's state-owned enterprises, the expansion of enterprise autonomy in those years was a small fight, but it was an important step after all.

"Director Zhu, we can't wait for national policy matters now. I wonder if it's possible for us to find a way to solve this problem within the scope that the factory can decide. Lin Zhenhua said.

Zhu Tiejun picked up the wine glass, looked at Lin Zhenhua, and suddenly had a smile on his face: "What, Xiaolin, what the hell do you have again?" ”

Lin Zhenhua shouted injustice: "Director Zhu, you can't look at me like this, right?" It's like I'm a person full of conspiracy. ”

Zhu Tiejun said: "It's not a conspiracy, you have a lot of conspiracy. I think your ideas are very active, tell me, is there any way to keep these masters from leaving our factory? ”

Lin Zhenhua hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Zhu, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's appropriate." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Our factory is a state-owned enterprise, and all kinds of regulations are very strict. However, the labor service company of our factory is a large collective, and the autonomy of operation is relatively large, can we hire these masters back in the name of the labor service company, and the labor service company will pay them a re-employment fee? ”

Zhu Tiejun thought for a while and said, "What you said is not a bad idea, but it is estimated that it will not work." The purpose of our labor service company is to provide employment opportunities for unemployed young people in the factory. It doesn't matter if the labor service company pays these young people, and no one says anything. But if these retired workers are also brought in, it is estimated that the Light Chemical Department will not be able to pass this hurdle. ”

"Isn't it that the collective-owned enterprises are under the independent management of the factory, and what right does the Light Chemical Department have to interfere?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Zhu Tiejun said: "You don't understand this, the labor service companies of each factory are the same, and they are said to be enterprises that read and calculate, but in fact, they can't make money at all, and they are all raised by the mother factory." Without the nod of the Light Chemical Agency, can we transfer the profits to the labor service company? This time, Peng Gang and their retirement, the Qinghua Hall was very unhappy. If the front foot gives them a retirement, and the back foot they come back to continue to get their salary, the Light Chemical Department will definitely come to us to settle accounts. ”

"Then, if the labor service company can make money on its own, the Light Chemical Department will not care?"

"If you can make money, the Qinghua Hall may really not care." Zhu Tiejun said, "However, our labor service company makes popsicles in the summer and greenery in the spring, what kind of money can it make?" ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled: "Director Zhu, I have an idea, I want to contract a labor service company and guarantee that it will become a cash cow within a year, can the factory agree?" ”
