Chapter 915: A Good Man (Ask for Subscription!) )
"Losing money to produce? If you don't make money and don't produce, why do you have to lose money to produce? Xu Yinglong asked puzzled.
"There are many reasons, for example, now many steel mills are listed, if the steel mills do not produce, then the stock price will fall directly, so many companies can only grit their teeth and produce. And some companies are transfused by government departments, so they will also lose money to produce when steel prices are low. But no matter what the reason, in short, it has led to the current situation, so the company is not very in favor of starting production now! Liu Haiyang said.
Xu Yinglong frowned but didn't speak, he usually didn't care much about these things, so he didn't know that the situation facing the steel industry was so grim, even unsustainable.
At the same time, Xu Yinglong also understood why Liu Haiyang made a special call to let him have an idea, and it was clear that he would lose money if he started work now, and as a normal company, he would never choose to start work at this time. But he is only the general manager of the company, not the chairman, so the final decision-making power can only be determined by himself.
Xu Yinglong thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, then don't start work, when will you not lose money, when will you produce!" ”
"Well, but even if we don't produce it, we'll lose money!" Liu Haiyang sighed and said.
"Why is that?" Xu Yinglong asked puzzled.
"That's right, when we bought Haiyun Steel Plant, we took it over with their 3,000 employees. The main reason is that the steel industry is different from other industries, and workers can be hired to replace them at any time. The steel industry is a highly professional industry, which not only has high requirements for management personnel. Even ordinary workers are higher than ordinary industries, so when they took over, they also took over their workers. Liu Haiyang said in a deep voice.
"You mean we don't produce. The wages of the employees of the enterprise must also be paid, right? Xu Yinglong asked.
"Hmm. Unless we lay off all the workers, then we would have to pay a hefty severance pay. Liu Haiyang said.
"I can't quit, and if I want to find it after dismissal, I can't get it back in a while." Xu Yinglong said in a deep voice.
"That's what I mean, and although we are paying wages to workers now, because the company is in a state of shutdown, it only pays one-third of the usual wages, more than 3,000 workers, and about 6.5 million per month."
"A third? Will this be enough for the living expenses of the workers? ”
"That's the rule of the industry, you can only get one-third of your salary when you stop working. There's no way around it! Liu Haiyang said.
Although Liu Haiyang did not answer Xu Yinglong's question directly, Xu Yinglong already knew the answer, in fact, if you think about it, more than 6.5 million yuan is evenly distributed to more than 3,000 people, and each person is only 2,000 yuan. Moreover, the salary of the management of the enterprise must be higher, and the real distribution to the employees may not be enough for 2,000 yuan.
If it was more than ten years ago, 2,000 yuan could indeed be called a high salary, but now, even in the most remote mountainous areas of China, it may not be enough to live. Not to mention the fact that the price is really high and can scare people to death.
After thinking about it, Xu Yinglong asked again: "Lao Liu, if we start production, how much will we lose every month?" ”
"More than 10 million, but our companies are not far apart. If production starts, the tool factory can save a lot of transportation costs, which can save more than 3 million per month. ”
"In other words, if we produce, the loss is actually not very large, is it?" Xu Yinglong said.
"Hmm. If the operation is good, it can even be flat. After all, we produce our own products, and the specifications and models of the products we produce can be controlled by ourselves. Liu Haiyang said.
"Oh well. I've decided to start production right away! We can lose some money, but we can make the employees of the enterprise eat enough! After speaking, Xu Yinglong hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Haiyang held the phone in his hand for a long time and did not put it down. To be honest, he was really worried that Xu Yinglong would really drag it out indefinitely, or cut the project directly.
If it is only from the perspective of a business manager, the steel plant is indeed a place to make money, if it were not for Xu Yinglong's direct order, Liu Haiyang would not mind Hailan Knife Factory intervening in this industry.
But when Liu Haiyang went to see the living conditions of the workers in the steel plant, he really couldn't bear it. Since the Haiyun steel plant had been shut down for more than half a year before it was acquired, all workers were only paid one-third of their wages for nearly 10 months. Due to everyone's seniority and various insurances and other relationships are still in the steel plant, once the resignation is faced with a lot of problems, so except for some new employees, the vast majority of people are waiting.
Most of the workers in the steel plant have already got married, and most of their families also live in Tianhai, how to support a large family in Tianhai for 2,000 yuan, so life is very difficult. And how similar this situation is to last year's knife factory, if it weren't for Xu Yinglong's sudden appearance, their life would actually be the same as these workers with an uncertain future.
Because of empathy, although Liu Haiyang called Xu Yinglong nominally to ask if he wanted to start work, in fact, he had been thinking about how to persuade Xu Yinglong not to stop work.
But when he told these situations one by one, Liu Haiyang found that he really had no reason to persuade Xu Yinglong to start production. Liu Haiyang knows very well that as a company, the pursuit of profit is the most fundamental, and no one will use the hard-earned money to do charity in business. The life of the workers is hard, but because of this, only a madman would do it to let a company that knows that it will lose money in production resume work!
The reason why Liu Haiyang has such an idea is mainly because he knows Xu Yinglong's personality. Since Xu Yinglong took over the knife factory, the living standards of the workers in the factory have risen sharply, and many times some expenses are completely unnecessary in Liu Haiyang's opinion, but Xu Yinglong has not hesitated to invest.
In addition, during this time, the tool factory also did charity with other enterprises under Xu Yinglong's name, and it can be seen that Xu Yinglong is a very kind entrepreneur, so Liu Haiyang will have such expectations, although this expectation is not very big.
However, Xu Yinglong's reaction was greatly beyond Xu Yinglong's expectations, and before he even thought about how to persuade him, Xu Yinglong made the decision to produce, and the reason was just to let the workers eat a full meal.
From an entrepreneur's point of view, Xu Yinglong is definitely unqualified. But from a person's point of view, he's definitely a good guy. And as a part-time worker, all people prefer to work under a good person, not a qualified entrepreneur.
At the same time, Liu Haiyang finally figured out one thing. In the past, Liu Haiyang has been thinking about a problem, although Xu Yinglong is the owner of the company, he rarely interferes in the specific management of the factory, and even now he has not been to the company a few times. However, at a staff meeting at the end of last year, in the annual evaluation form of the leadership sent to the employees, everyone was very satisfied with Xu Yinglong's evaluation, and the praise rate reached 100%, while the praise rate of him, the general manager, was only 95%. Many workers even write a lot of words of thanks on the back of the evaluation form.
Liu Haiyang has been wondering why this is? It stands to reason that many of the employees' benefits are awarded by him, and even he fights for the employees, why are the workers grateful to him for being the shopkeeper?
Now he finally understands, because he is the one who really thinks about the employees, because he is a good person.
Xu Yinglong didn't know that at this moment, Liu Haiyang had thought so much, and he was not as selfless as Liu Haiyang thought. The reason why Xu Yinglong did this was of course out of compassion, but more importantly, he wanted to show kindness to those workers, so that they would be grateful to him, so that they could become his own believers and provide himself with the power of faith. This is very fair in Xu Yinglong's opinion, you like me and support me, and I provide you with jobs and full salaries. (To be continued......)
