Wu Xingzhou saw Chai Dongliang coming back, and hurriedly leaned down to worship, Chai Dongliang hurriedly helped him up: "I can't help it, I can't help it, you are a senior, and you have a leg disease, you worship me to fold my life!" ”

Wu Xingzhou sighed and said: "My two children are not sensible, they are both old husbands and godsons, please punish them!" ”

Wu Jintang hurriedly stood up and bowed to the ground deeply: "All the mistakes are the fault of Jintang alone, I shouldn't use some trivial things to trouble the governor." ”

Chai Dongliang waved his hand and said: "I understand all your things, and I also know your hardships, these things are not your fault, I didn't think it through." But when it comes to the great heavens, there is no reason why the Military Advisory Office has categorically not participated in the affairs between you proprietors and workers, do you think this is the truth? If the Military Advisory Office had intervened, it would have been to suppress it by force, and I dare say that as long as the guns rang out, the workers would certainly not make trouble??? But pressing it down does not mean that the world will be peaceful from now on, and doing business is like a doctor seeing a doctor, and if you can't find the root of the disease, you can't cure the disease. ”

"The Governor is taught!" Wu Jintang was dizzy when he was scolded by his father, and he didn't understand what Chai Dongliang meant at all, so he just echoed casually.

"The Governor has seen the root of the disease? Can you make a prescription? Wu Xingzhou has been in the mall for decades, and he immediately heard Chai Dongliang's voice.

"Workers make trouble, to put it bluntly, because skilled workers are scarce, and there are many people who want to set up factories to make money. If you want to cure this problem, you still need to train more technicians! Chai Dongliang said eloquently.

Wu Xingzhou frowned and said, "The old man that the governor said doesn't know." It's just that there is intrigue between the workers, the mechanics hide their skills and refuse to teach the skills to the small workers, often only one or two people will use a machine, as long as three or two big workers make trouble, the whole factory has to rest. ”

Wu Jintang also interjected: "The Wuhu Arsenal and Machinery Factory are responsible for making guns and cannons for the Jianghuai Army, and they have also received many contracts from various places. If there is a slight mistake in the pool, killing me is a small mistake and the governor's major event, Jintang will not be redeemed! ”

Chai Dongliang smiled and said, "You asked for it!" ”

Wu Jintang was stunned: "Where did the governor start?" ”

The maid took the tea, Chai Dongliang took it and took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Did your workers sign a contract when they entered the factory?" ”

"No, what contract do workers have to sign for work? It's not a sale! ”

"You are very wrong, the workers sell their labor, and the factory owners pay for it, this is the sale! There is no contract, both parties are not bound, now there is a shortage of technicians, of course, they have an advantage, they can blackmail the owner at will, and one day in the future, there is a surplus of technicians, and the owner can knock them out??? The end result is that the workers and the factory owners hate each other, and one day this contradiction will erupt, and it will be a great deal! ”

Wu Xingzhou frowned and thought for a moment, then exclaimed: "It's this reason, if a worker wants to toss the owner, he only needs to quietly sprinkle a handful of sand in the gearbox of the machine, and he can destroy a machine worth thousands of taels." If the owner and the guy can't get along, sooner or later something will happen. ”

Chai Dongliang bowed his head and said: "What the old gentleman said is extremely true, it is better to cooperate with each other than to end up together. You look at those Jin merchants who opened money banks and ticket numbers, they are models, starting with the guys, everyone carries their stocks on their backs, and everyone has a share in the trading, can they not die for the owner? Don't talk about it, let's talk about it, this time the horse bandits attacked Baotou, and all the guys with the ticket number took guns to play with the horse bandits! Are the workers in your factories willing to work for the factory? Definitely not! The glory of Jin Shang for hundreds of years is not a fluke, and the way people get along with their owners and buddies is really worth learning from! Foreigners have a foreigner's management system, and what our Chinese ancestors have handed down is not necessarily worse than theirs! ”

After Wu Xingzhou pondered for a long time, he patted his thigh and said: "I understand, what the governor means is that if you want to sign a contract with the workers, no matter who violates the contract, there will naturally be a royal law to sanction it, so that other factories can't do it if they want to dig up the wall and raise the market!" In addition, it is to link the income of the factory to the income of the workers, and if the factory is good, they are also good, and if the factory is poor, they will also be affected? ”

Chai Dongliang laughed and said: "The old gentleman is worthy of being a leader in the business community in Anhui, I have no immature ideas, you can draw inferences??? You've already prescribed this prescription yourself, so you don't need me to come to the class to get an axe, right? ”

Wu Xingzhou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The old man is ashamed, he has been in the industry for half his life, but he is still ignorant!" This branch factory system and assembly line production are all the initiatives of the governor, and that's it, I even forgot the truth of the owner's family and the co-governance and sharing of the ancestors left by my ancestors, which is really shameful! ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "My means of governing Anhui are almost the same as those of the Jin merchants, all of them are to let all the people involved in it share the benefits, so that everyone will do their best, and the people of Anhui will share the benefits of economic development, and they will naturally work with one heart and one mind??? Why was it so easy for the Jianghuai army to enter Jiangxi? It was the people of Jiangxi who heard that Anhui could divide the land and the proceeds from the minerals to build factories, roads, and water plants, and to implement free education. The common people are not stupid, whoever can let them get benefits, they will sincerely support whom??? Why are the workers making trouble? Why are the men of the Jin merchants willing to fight to protect the shops? The workers don't regard the factory as their own at all, of course, they can be lazy, and if they can get one more, they will count it as one! The men of the Jin merchants regard the business as their own, so they are willing to be loyal to the owner for the rest of their lives, to put it bluntly, they are not loyal to the owner personally, but to the system that has been followed for hundreds of years by the owner and the partners to govern and share! ”

Wu Jintang looked at his father's face and said boldly: "The system of our factory was set by foreigners, and it is similar to that of foreigners. ”

Chai Dongliang pouted and said, "Is the foreigner's thing necessarily the best?" Yes, foreigners have more experience than us Chinese in managing factories, and good things naturally have to be learned, but the concepts of Chinese and foreigners are very different, foreigners attach importance to professional ethics and observance, while Chinese pay attention to family values. Only by letting the workers treat the factory as a big family, and you factory owners as parents, can we do a good job! ”

In another time and space, Toyota adhered to the traditional system of annual success and lifetime employment after World War II, and was ridiculed by its peers as an antique??? As it turned out, Toyota became the world's largest car manufacturer, and those who laughed at it were bought by it. He began to re-examine the East Asian model, analyzing how the cultivation of Confucian culture was combined with Western scientific management.

Chai Dongliang was also very interested in the model of the Jin merchants, and the more he learned about it, the more surprised he became, the full shareholding system that was very popular in the West of the twenty-first century, and the Jin merchants had been popular in the eighteenth century. Moreover, Jin Shang has almost pursued the credibility of the enterprise to the extreme, and the two sides do not need to borrow vouchers at all, and "ten thousand taels of silver in one sentence" is a true portrayal of the credit between them.

After the collapse of the Jin Shang's business, they pursued the principle of "only pouring in and not pouring out", taking unlimited risks, even if they went bankrupt and sold their houses, all arrears must be paid off. Under the high degree of credibility and the management of all employees sharing benefits, there are hundreds of years of glory of Jinshang.

One success may be accidental, and it has been successful for hundreds of years, and that is the triumph of institutions and institutions. Privately owned, shared by all, this concept is quite advanced even in the 21st century. Private ownership ensures the vitality of the enterprise, which is shared by all employees, and ensures the harmony and stability within the enterprise. Employees regard the enterprise as their own, naturally full of enthusiasm, and will work together, one person is short and three people are long, all employees are coming up with ideas and solutions, and they are willing to work hard in a down-to-earth manner, and it is difficult to think about buying and selling.

Wu Jintang, Wu Xingzhou, father and son are very familiar with this set of Jin merchants, but they have always believed that industry is an emerging industry, and the system of foreigners must be copied, and traditional Chinese things are outdated. Almost all entrepreneurs in China, including the factories run by the Jin merchants themselves, had the same idea, so that the workers and the factory owners were separated from each other. Chai Dongliang said that Wu Jintang asked for himself, and he was not wrong.

"Giving workers stock and signing contracts is only the first step, and the more important thing is to vigorously train skilled workers, otherwise technicians will still be pampered and proud, and there will be big problems in the inheritance of technology." Chai Dongliang continued.

Wu Xingzhou was in trouble: "What the governor said is that Wuhu Industrial Park has also done the matter of running a technical school, but the effect is not good." People who have read books want to do things in the yamen, no one wants to touch the machine with sweat and oil, and those who have not read books can't understand the lectures of the gentleman. The young people in Wuhu City have a lot of knowledge and ideas, and they would rather go to the army and get five yuan of military pay than be a worker and get nine yuan! ”

Wuhu is a treaty wharf, as well as the concessions of various countries, and the common people are well-informed and will naturally settle accounts. Although the money for being a soldier is small, once you are promoted, you will have a future, and even if you get an extra three or two yuan as a worker, you can work until you die, and you will be a machine driver.

China has been an official-based country since ancient times, and being an official is the dream of every scholar. "Learn to become a scholar and martial artist, and sell the emperor's family", Confucianism originally excluded those who worked hard, and the social status of workers was still below the peasants.

Chai Dongliang said categorically: "The matter of running a technical school is promoted by the Military Advisory Office, and your Chamber of Commerce can assist??? There are some things that can only be done by using the power of the political axe! ”

After talking about the business, Wu Xingzhou looked at Chai Dongliang's mood and was not bad, and after coughing dryly, he glanced at his son.

"Du Du, the old man feels a little uncomfortable, retire first, Jintang, you and the Du Du will discuss again." Wu Xingzhou made an excuse.

Chai Dongliang asked the maid to help him, looked at his decrepit body with a cane, and walked out of the door tremblingly.

Wu Jintang sat there, his lips squirming and he wanted to speak, but he kept drinking tea. He didn't say that Chai Dongliang also understood that he was going to talk about Wu Meiqi.

After Chai Dongliang saw the workers in the restaurant, he also understood Wu Jintang's difficulties. Several enterprises in his charge were related to the military industry and exports, and there could not be the slightest mistake, and after the workers made trouble, they saw that they were cheap, and they intensified their efforts again and again. And Chai Dongliang has a wrong understanding, he always feels that the truth is on the side of the poor, and if there is a conflict between the poor and the rich, it must be the rich who are at fault. Wu Jintang had a hard time, and finally begged his sister to help him bring a message, hoping that the Military Advisory Office could send troops to suppress the trouble-making workers.

The consequence was that Wu Meiqi was looking for death and life, and Wu Xingzhou rushed to Anqing from Wuhu after knowing about it, and scolded Wu Jintang half to death.

Wu Jintang saw that Chai Dongliang had not spoken, so he had to open his mouth to break the silence: "Governor, I am not doing well below, and I have caused you trouble." ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Wuhu Industrial Park and Shanghai Guanghua Company, I am the largest shareholder, and I am responsible for my own business, and there is no trouble." ”

"I shouldn't let my sister tell you these things, she is young and doesn't know the joints inside, and please don't care about it." Chai Dongliang took over the conversation: "Brother Yinfu, you and I are both people who have a great deal of responsibility for the world, I am responsible for the fate of 50 million people in Anhui and Jiangxi, and you control the economic lifeline of the two provinces with one hand. I'm really annoyed by this, I'm not annoyed by Maggie interfering in political affairs, I'm annoyed by you! Is there anything between you and me that can't be said straightforwardly? Do you have to involve a little girl Maggie? She's young and doesn't know how important it is, and she's a girl, so that's fine, but shouldn't you be separated from me? The phone in the military advisory office goes straight to the management committee of Wuhu Industrial Park, and also to your home, the workers in the industrial park make trouble, this is a bigger thing than the sky, but you have been hiding it from me, and finally you can't hide it, let Meiqi come and tell me!

Yin Mansion, let me ask you, what can I do if something really gets bigger? Do I shoot, or don't I shoot? Do I kill the workers to quell the incident, or do I kill you to quell the grievances of the workers? ”

As soon as he spoke, Wu Jintang was stunned and drenched in cold sweat!

"Dudu, I really didn't expect this matter to be so serious!"

"Brother Yinfu, open your eyes and look at the world, it is not unheard of for foreign workers to revolt and overthrow the political axe! When the Qing Dynasty fell, it was the time when the financial revenue was the highest and the national strength was the strongest, and the people's grievances were often caused by the estrangement between each other. Have you ever thought about it, when the workers make trouble, if I really send troops to shoot, this revenge will not be solved!"
