Chapter 449 Wage Standards
The emergence of the Northwest Bank, so that the original only scattered development of the industry, began to concentrate, itself, Yang Yuanzhao can only be through the guò machine qì factory installment payment method, to support the industry, the factory's windfall profits can not be continued, the price of the machine will be gradually reduced, such a way may be able to do it in the early stage, now it is a little unworkable, the emergence of the bank, to complete one of the weakest links in industrial investment, even in the future, the profit margin to reach a relatively meager Cheng dù, Banks can also lend money to support. `
Northwest, because of the continuous industrial development, including Yang Yuanzhao and Harpy's call for wind and rain in the world financial market, and even the direct mining of gold, the capital has extremely large, from the beginning of the wages of workers, are fixed at a higher Cheng dù, the urban population in the northwest, are relatively wealthy, these scattered money, in accordance with the habit of Chinese savings, began to flow slowly into the bank, after all, the bank has the Northwest government behind as a guarantee, and even the deposit has interest, which is much better than putting it at home. Under the whole deposit, you can even buy a large item at a critical time.
Huge funds gathered in the bank, and then under the guidance of Yang Yuanzhao, the focus was on investing in electricity, water conservancy, farmland facilities, infrastructure and some industrial enterprises.
After the establishment of the Northwest, the Northwest did not stop recruiting workers from all over the country, and every month, the number of people flowing into the Northwest increased from the original number. It's an increase of more than 30%, but recently. There has been a small change, and some workers have basic skills or experience. It became the focus of recruitment.
There is money in the northwest, several years of development, the earliest families and individuals who joined Baotou, have earned a lot of money, after the establishment of the bank, well-informed, and obtained a loan from the bank, in order to get benefits as soon as possible, the goal is placed outside Baotou.
It's not just Baotou that has a factory. Outside of Baotou, because of the relationship between the Wuhan Quanye Association and the promotion of the machine factory, a large number of primary factories have been formed, and some of the buildings in Baotou are now overlapping with these, and the newly occupied three provinces and regions are in the ascendant, in addition to the construction of the city itself, clothing, food, housing and transportation. Ordinary light industrial products, these have a huge market, just look at Baotou to know, industry generates value. The wages of workers are relatively high, and as long as they are cultivated a little, it is a huge market.
There are shortcuts to take. This is already a characteristic of Baotou, when Yang Yuanzhao first arrived in Baotou. It is to rely on recruiting workers from all over the country, and the means is to hire at high salaries. Although the high salary at that time was nothing for the current salary in the northwest, but externally, it was still a really high salary, especially for the capitalists in other places, who were not supervised, they were never charitable, as long as the conditions permitted, they could even put the salary to the minimum.
This gives the factory owners in the northwest an opportunity, as long as they take the ordinary wages in the northwest, they can recruit workers who have undergone preliminary training and can even directly produce and work, without running-in and training, which will save a lot of money and recover costs faster.
The value of money is huge, when countless wielding banknotes, indiscriminately poaching people all over the country when the trend is formed, the entire Chinese business community, completely chaotic, because of the support of the Northwest machine, the initial formation of the factory, they spent a lot of energy, training and training a group of skilled workers, such a factory, is the most suitable, some people may because of the countryside or other reasons, unwilling to leave, but most of them, are succumbing to the charm of money, this is not a little bit of improvement, from two or three yuan per month salary, Suddenly growing to twenty or thirty yuan, or even giving a year's advance payment at a time, such a means is simply popular.
Just like in later generations, a civil servant's stable salary is only about 3,000 yuan, and when someone offers a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan, or even a one-time salary of 360,000 yuan, which is not illegal, it is a legal job, and there are several people who can endure such temptation.
The resignation of a large number of workers, at the beginning, those factory owners, do not care, personnel turnover, all kinds of things will lose employees, but when a factory is lost 20%, 30%, or even more workers, this is a big deal, a small number of factory owners who are still paying installments are directly anxious, those who have no pressure to repay the loan, are also shocked, the factory has no workers, is it still called a factory.
Capable of building a factory, are the local head snakes, soon, the reason for the departure of personnel was also found, businessmen from the northwest, waving banknotes, almost at the price of 200 yuan per person, frantically recruiting skilled workers, some of the good level, and even get additional rewards.
Why such a high salary is given, all the factory owners feel incredible, people who don't go to Baotou will never understand, because of Yang Yuanzhao's leadership, Baotou's wages for workers are so high, 200 yuan, maybe here, it may be dozens, or even hundreds of workers for almost a month's wages, but in Baotou, a skilled senior worker, a month's salary plus bonuses, is about the same number.
The strength of the northwest has been fully revealed in the confrontation with the Beiyang Army, and the people who can go around are not ordinary businessmen, although there are some conflicts, but in the end, all of them are mainly based on the compromise of the local factory owners, and such a move, in a certain way, actually promoted the increase in the wages of the workers of the entire factory.
Most of the factory owners in other places began to understand a concept, there is a minimum wage standard in the northwest, before, no one would care about that thing, after all, Baotou is too far away from them, but now, when Baotou is waving banknotes and digging people in all directions, they have to raise the wage standard, if your salary is too low, people will immediately quit, take their families, go to Baotou together, not only enjoy free road fare, but also free housing, high wages, and even a qiē treatment, in this case, If you want to retain workers, you have to increase wages.
Such fluctuations caused a lot of dissatisfaction of landlords and factory owners, Yang Yuanzhao didn't care, forcibly pressed these down, it was about 1914, the First World War came, Russia died, the Red Revolution began to appear, there was no enough improvement in the treatment of workers, just relying on the squeezing of workers, and then ushered in not wealth, but endless revolution, this is the beginning, Yang Yuanzhao noticed, he didn't want to work hard to create a foundation, after the arrival of the Red Revolution, was ruined.
In the future, during the First World War, after the establishment of the Soviet Union, when the workers' revolution was exported to the world, China was the place where the fire of revolution was lowest, because the wages of Chinese workers were much higher than the ordinary standard, the 8-hour working system, and the reasonable work intensity. No one wants to be chaotic, and with the support of a sufficient quality of life, who will not be able to get along with themselves, go to revolution, and work hard, except for some careerists.
This is also inseparable from the advanced work and machine of Baotou, Baotou here, directly used is the concept of later generations, all kinds of materials, but also directly adopted by later generations, which caused Baotou machine qì, the efficiency of work is very strong, the same time, the same personnel, the efficiency of production is several times before, and then a certain process dù on, reducing the increase in labor costs in the unit of goods for production costs, which is also after the 2nd World War, the entire Western world, the relationship between labor and capital eased, Without continuing the roots of the socialist revolution, Baotou and the Northwest, and even the whole of China, have gone through this step several decades ahead of schedule, and it will have a far-reaching impact on China and even the world.
In the summer of 1911, the Beiyang Army of 4 towns was still trapped in Baotou, of course, there was no war between each other, whether it was Duan Qirui or Cai Yi, they all knew that it was only a matter of time before they withdrew, Baotou did not realize that Yuan Shikai's envoy had arrived secretly, and the command of Baotou had been replaced by Sun Yue, and there were still two divisions stationed, but it had been changed from the first division and the second division to the newly established 9th and 10th divisions.
In a few months, a large number of people poured into Baotou, a lot of strong, Baotou's military factory, go all out to produce, so that Baotou has a large number of munitions, simply set up an army, the training of the first few divisions, a certain Cheng dù above, has come to an end, from them some veterans, based on this, and formed 5 divisions, among them, a large number of military academy students, this point, Jiang Baili is a little angry, you know, because Baotou is independent, the last batch of some people, It has already been transferred, this batch, after only a year of study, has been transferred again, but Baotou urgently needs to expand, and the demand for officers and soldiers is almost unlimited.
When Shanxi is thoroughly digested, Yang Yuanzhao is ready to control the entire northwest, Shaanxi has been taken, next, Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang and other places, these are the great northwest, the land is vast and sparsely populated, now is the right time to take it, the Qing government feels that it is chicken ribs, there is not much value, but in Yang Yuanzhao's eyes, all are treasures, after the expansion of the territory and the expansion of strength, in the future, this west is the best springboard to peek into the Russian land, Russia in the future, More than 4 million square kilometers of land have been taken from China and occupied a vast and resource-rich Siberia, this time, to reverse the situation, the climatic conditions are harsh, and there is not much human activity in Siberia, how many resources it has, even in the 21st century, have not been examined.
