Liu Erxi's words, to the ears of some people, are probably ridiculously naïve, and they are likely to be called "angry youth" again.

But Shi Shaoying was nodding vigorously, in essence, he himself was actually a big angry young man, so when he was writing, the protagonist would give an impassioned speech at every turn, and was eventually known as the "slogan man".

Shi Shaoying raised the mineral water bottle in his hand and raised it slightly to Liu Erxi, "Respect you." ”

After pouring a mouthful of water into his throat, the corners of Liu Erxi's mouth raised a happy smile, "When I was twenty years old, a strange boy suddenly ran up to me, holding a letter written by my aunt, telling me that he was my own brother. It wasn't until that time that I learned that before my dad died, my mom was pregnant with a child again, and he was a widow. My family is so poor, and my mother is not in good health, it is impossible to support two children at the same time, so I passed my younger brother to my aunt. After my brother was eighteen years old, according to the rules of the mountains, it was already time to find a blind date to find a partner, and now what bride price do you want to marry, blind date, dripping wine, return gifts, looking at the house, a lot of messy things, anyway, they all ask for money, my aunt's family is also poor, and I have two children, and finally pushed my brother to my side. Facing a younger brother who suddenly appeared, although I was surprised, but more than that, I was happy, it turned out that in this world, I still have one of the closest people, floating outside for so long, lonely for so long, I have a family again! ”

Two big boys wander together in the city and depend on each other, they have no skills, and lack of education, the job they can find will not be very good, and life is of course very hard.

But for Liu Erxi, this is the happiest time in his life.

"We came to this city together, if you have to sum it up, in the coastal cities of Shandong, there are many investors from South Korea and Taiwan, and there are many joint venture factories here, and most of the products will be exported to European countries, just like the factory we entered, with more than 30,000 employees, that is, to manufacture some plastic daily necessities, and take orders to export to the United States."

"Those plastic products have no technical content, and the reason why they can be exported to the United States is only because Chinese labor is quite cheap. The management of the factory is really smart and very good at exploiting loopholes in national policy. The state stipulates that overtime work on weekends should be paid twice the salary, and overtime on statutory holidays should be paid three times the salary. However, our factory has set up a 'change of leave' system, if I work overtime on the weekend, I can choose a day off from Monday to Friday. In other words, even if I work overtime on weekends or national holidays, I will never get a penny more. But that's what everyone does, even if we are dissatisfied, our arms can't twist our thighs, just put up with it, think about the migrant workers who are still beaten for wages in the news, we should really be content. ”

Shi Shaoying listened very carefully. He had never worked in a factory like this, let alone been deducted from his wages, and it was the first time he had heard that there were some factory managers who were using these methods to change concepts and reduce labor costs in the production process.

"In each region, according to the local economic situation, the minimum living security standard for residents will be announced. According to national regulations, the per capita income of the region shall not be lower than this standard. The factory management is very smart and smart, and the wages they set will be 100% stuck with the minimum security standard. ”

Hearing this, Shi Shaoying shook his head. The management of the factory is obviously changing the concept again.

Per capita income is the total household income divided by the entire population. For example, if there are five people in a family, and only the husband and wife work, the monthly income of both husband and wife is 3,000 yuan, and the total income of 6,000 divided by 5 is 1,200 yuan. In other words, the per capita income of the family will always be much lower than the salary of the husband and wife.

Those workers are better off if their families are not hungry, and they can finally survive with a minimum guaranteed income in the city. If they still have families to support, their per capita income will be far below the government's published standards. This is called a policy at the top and a countermeasure at the bottom.

In this case, these workers want to support their wives and children, and save a little life-saving money in case of illness, and their only way out is to work overtime.

"Working eleven hours a day, we were so tired that we could fall asleep standing there, and we just tried to stay alive. However, with the advent of the economic crisis, the factory received fewer orders, and we had fewer opportunities to work overtime. Taking into account the price factor, the government announced that the minimum subsistence standard in our city has been adjusted from 760 yuan to 830 yuan. When I heard the news, the people in the factory were very happy, which means that we are finally going to increase our wages. In fact, if wages don't go up, we really won't be able to survive. ”

Watching Liu Erxi slowly squeeze the plastic bottle in his hand, he could guess without asking Shi Shaoying that the salary increase is a beautiful soap bubble, perhaps, all the conflicts also come from this adjustment of the minimum living security standard.

The basic wage of each worker has been increased by 70 yuan, which really does not seem like much, but the overtime pay of workers is based on the basic salary of the worker divided by the figure obtained when he was working normally. If the basic salary rises, the overtime pay will also rise, although everyone will only get an extra one or two hundred yuan in the end, but for a factory with 30,000 employees, it will cost nearly six million more labor costs every month.

Although it is clear that the living standards of the workers under them are deteriorating, the factory owners must be able to procrastinate. If it drags on for a year, they will be able to save 70 million, and of course what they save is what they earn.

If, in normal times, they drag on for a year and a half and then adjust their wages, the workers can make do with it, and they can endure it. But now that there is less overtime, less income, and higher prices, some workers who drag their families can basically no longer survive.

"People couldn't hold on anymore, and then someone put together to hold a general strike and demand that the factory give everyone a salary increase in accordance with the policy. Just two months ago, our entire factory was shut down, and more than 4,000 people took to the streets to protest. Faced with this scene, Lu Youcai, the boss, finally panicked. He sent people around to do the work, find the leaders of the strike, and stuff them with red envelopes. Those who have strong influence among the workers can get two or three thousand red envelopes, and those who have weak influence but are also considered people can get five hundred to one thousand red envelopes. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Erxi's face showed anger and disdain, "Of course, this money is not taken for nothing. After taking the money, they will immediately settle their salaries, then roll up the bunks and get out, and their names will be blacklisted by the factory, and they will never be hired again. But what can this be, in the Pearl River Sanjiangzhou area, the most important thing is the factory, can get a windfall, and then change the factory, what can't it do? Now that the economy is in a recession, it really can't be done, so take the money and go back to your hometown first, and then come back when the economic crisis is over. In this way, Boss Lu Youcai just stuffed red envelopes into more than 200 leaders, and easily 'suppressed' our strike. ”

Shi Shaoying said in a low voice: "You didn't take that red envelope? ”

Liu Erxi can understand the "red envelope" incident so clearly, and he must also be a member of the "establishment".

Liu Erxi nodded, "They sent me a red envelope of 2,000 yuan, and asked me to sign the agreement, stating that I would voluntarily leave the factory, and the two sides had nothing to do with each other, and I didn't agree." The reason why I stood up was because I wanted to get the wages my brothers and sisters in the factory that I deserved, not because I wanted someone else to take a red envelope of 2,000 yuan to buy me and then get out of the house happily. ”

In the eyes of the factory management, people like Liu Erxi, who don't even accept red envelopes and insist on refusing to back down, are tantamount to a thorn in the head, and an obstacle to the resumption of factory operation! Since the vast majority of people have been resolved, Liu Erxi can't be impressed with red envelopes, toast without eating and drinking, spend some money to find a few people, rush into Liu Erxi's house in the middle of the night, communicate with him with a wooden stick, and let him know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has, and the things behind this become "logical".

A big boss with a net worth of more than one billion, a complicated local network, can be described as a black and white all-you-can-eat, it is so easy to clean up a small thorny worker, maybe in his family history, similar things are commonplace.

What Lu Youcai didn't expect was that he would eventually meet a tiger when he went up the mountain, and this time, he finally met a super thorn who dared to fight to the death for his younger brother!

Not everyone, in the face of power and violence, will obediently lie down like a hen and wait for him to be pampered with money and thugs; Not everyone has forgotten the morality and conscience of being one.

Although, Liu Erxi's resistance this time is too costly.

Shi Shaoying was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Your story is finished, do you want to hear my story before I make my personal advice to you?" ”

Although it was very unexpected, Liu Erxi still replied very simply: "Yes!" ”

"My dad is a major general, my wife's dad is also a major general, the two of us first met in the same junior military academy, but I was swept away by the school at the age of fourteen because I was too naughty, and my wife went all the way. Although I later joined the army, I always held a position lower than her. When I was a captain, she was a major, and this disparity will inevitably become more and more obvious in the future. Later, I fought with the Indian special forces on the border line, he stabbed my right hand, I kicked into a eunuch, in order to calm the situation, I was sent back to the mainland, as a result, in 03 years, just in time for the great disarmament, and was thrown into the local reserves, a few days after entering, because my colleagues joined forces to squeeze out me, a big fight, and three people were in the hospital at once! Anyway, I got around and around, and finally took off my military uniform and became a small citizen. But fortunately, my future wife didn't dislike me, I was twenty-nine, and we got married when she was twenty-eight. ”

Liu Erxi said: "Congratulations! ”

"Congratulations!"
