Chapter 17: The Industrial Base
Nearly a month has passed since the establishment of the fertilizer factory, and the initial heat has now gradually dissipated, and the fertilizer factory, which has lost its halo, is only busy with work in addition to facing the expectations of the villagers.
Busy back and forth, the workers who were seriously learning various skills under the guidance of the engineers have now been able to go on the line on their own, although the production efficiency is not high, but there is also a trace of progress, after all, the fat man is a bite to eat.
Looking at the newly grown crops, the area where the fertilizer was sown and the crops that were not sprayed were clearly in confrontation, and the villagers gradually believed Wang Lin's words.
There is only about half a month left to reach the end of the year, in China, the Chinese New Year is the most important festival every year, the family will do their best to overcome all difficulties, return home and reunite with the whole family, there are talking and laughing together to talk about their own things in the past year.
The villagers also seemed to be driven by the upcoming festival to have a happy atmosphere, and at this time, Wang Lin could only sit in the office and carefully count every account.
The original promise is about to be fulfilled, the workers have been working for more than 20 days, and it is less than a week to complete the month, Wang Lin's plan is to pay the first month's salary when the month is full, and then by the way, it is a holiday for the New Year. Of course, the most important point Wang Lin has not forgotten, that is, to give some benefits to the workers in the factory, which is a good way to win people's hearts as a boss, and Wang Lin naturally cannot use it.
After calculating the wages that each worker should pay, Wang Lin put the ledger in the drawer, took out a small smoking gun and gradually smoked, Wang Lin, who originally did not smoke, was forced by endless pressure after coming to this world, and finally had to smoke to relieve the pressure.
However, this kind of cigarette gun is really a little inconvenient to smoke, not to mention that it is not easy to bring, far less than that kind of cigarette, and now cigarettes seem to have been introduced to China, right? It's just that it hasn't started production yet, and I'm going back to find a way to get a whole cigarette factory out.
"Mr. Wang, are you busy?" Tang Yubo, the second person in charge of the entire factory, is both the village head of Tang Village and the second person in charge of the fertilizer factory, and after inspecting the factory today, he followed the engineers to learn some necessary knowledge, and then came to Wang Lin's office, and Wang Lin seems to have begun to be the shopkeeper, and he has not taken care of anything, but has thrown it all to Tang Yubo.
"Uncle Tang, you came just in time, I was just about to go to you." Wang Lin glanced at Tang Yubo, who was standing outside the door.
"Well, Mr. Wang, isn't this almost the end of the year, the villagers have been working for almost a month, and they are now very concerned about what this month's salary is, I will take the time to come over and see if you have calculated it." After a few months of interaction with Wang Lin, Tang Yubo gradually understood that Wang Lin was a straight person and didn't like to beat around the bush, so he directly explained his intentions.
"The wages of the workers have been almost calculated, plus the work that will be added in the future, the most paid this month is about one or two, and the least seems to be more than 800 yuan." Wang Lin told Tang Yubo the result he had just calculated.
You must know that one tael of silver in the current Qing Dynasty can probably make an ordinary person's family spend a month normally, although the salary issued this month is only enough for them to spend for a month, but there is a reason for this. The first is because the factory has just opened, and the proficiency of the workers is not high, and the production efficiency is low, and it is already Wang Lin's maximum limit to be able to get one or two pieces of silver. The second is that because the factory is not profitable yet, there is only a starting capital of two million taels, so you have to save some money, right?
After listening to Wang Lin's settlement, Tang Yubo was suddenly taken aback in his heart, and secretly said that he had heard it wrong? You must know that those who are tired and tired of working in the county town for a month and have to keep their voices down may not be able to get 500 Wen, which is still the result of the boss's mercy. When I came to this factory, I only worked eight hours a day, eight in the morning and five in the evening, with an hour's rest in between. Moreover, the skills of the workers still need to be improved, and the output is not high, so it is indeed unexpected for Tang Yubo to get so much.
Originally, I thought that as long as it wasn't too low, I could give three or four hundred Wen and explain it to the following, right? After all, our technology is not very good now, and the output is not good, and when our technology is high in the future, the output will be raised, and this will ask the boss for wages. Unexpectedly, Wang Lin directly gave twice the price of the budget, which surprised Tang Yubo.
"Uncle Tang, don't be surprised, I said at the beginning that I will never owe you anything if I work here, and the salary is definitely higher than other places. Besides, isn't it the end of the year, I thought about buying two pigs, and then killing them and distributing the meat to the workers, which should be regarded as a kind of welfare. Wang Lin shook his head and continued.
originally thought that Tang Yubo would be dissatisfied with his salary, not too high, but too low, but I didn't expect Tang Yubo to say that just now, but it reminded Wang Lin that they have basically been studying this month, but their salary is already more than twice that of the county, why is this unhappy?
"Still fleshy?" Tang Yubo looked at Wang Lin in surprise, as if he had seen a monster.
"Well, now that our factory has just opened, our family foundation is not too thick, and we can only do so much at present, and when the factory situation is a little better next year, I will find a way to give you more benefits." Wang Lin nodded and continued.
In this way, Wang Lin led his four proud students to the county seat in an ox cart, bought two fat pigs, and then drove back to Tang Village.
Even though he summoned a few workers who had killed pigs in the factory and asked them to act as butchers, the two pigs were slaughtered by everyone in one afternoon, and finally the fat pork was placed in front of everyone, and the mouth was full of water.
The next morning, the workers came to the factory as always, before they had learned from Tang Yubo the approximate amount of their wages, no matter who could get the one or two silver, no matter who got the more than 700 Wen, they only knew that their lives in this month were really meaningful, and the wages were far higher than those given in the county, what Wang Lin said was true.
After a busy morning, everyone is tidying up the factory, isn't this about to be a holiday, a lot of chores to do, first clean up the machinery and equipment, and then put the things together. At noon, Wang Lin left all the workers in the factory, and everyone had a meal together, and Wang Lin made the cook throw down twenty catties of meat from the hundreds of workers.
In the afternoon, Wang Lin did not let the workers work, but gathered everyone together to summarize the experience and shortcomings of this month. Then one by one, the wages were paid by name, and watching the villagers close their mouths happily after getting the wages, Wang Lin also felt a little satisfied, and he had finally done something meaningful.
After all the wages were paid, Wang Lin announced one thing again, that is, the annual summary and the commendation meeting for outstanding employees. Everyone doesn't understand what this so-called conference means, anyway, they have their wages in their hands now, and they are happy to sit here and listen to Wang Lin blindly.
But just when Wang Lin took out red bags from the drawer of the table in front of him, a striking moment happened. There is not much money in each bag, only 300 Wen, which is a red envelope issued to employees at the end of the year.
Commendation meeting? What is a commendation conference? Is it just for the sake of giving out red envelopes? No, no, no, since it's a commendation meeting, we must pull out a few hard-working employees.
Wang Lin personally called the names of ten people and asked them to come to the temporary rostrum, and these ten people stood away one by one, not knowing what tricks Wang Lin wanted to play.
But when Wang Lin named the first person, he then said a big call, of course, it was all about how the employee performed at work, how hard he worked, etc., and then took out two taels of silver to him, saying that this was a reward for outstanding employees.
The same is true for the second place, except that one or two or five hundred wen are awarded, the third one is awarded one or two silver, and the other seven are each rewarded with five hundred wen.
Although the last few people don't have much money, they are rewarded and show off in front of people, and the smiles on the faces of the ten people have never disappeared. Tang Shaoyun, as the person with the highest salary and the first reward, finally calculated carefully, my God, he actually got three, two or four hundred yuan, only worked for a month, and he was not very tired to get so much money? I secretly made up my mind that I would follow Wang Lin to do a good job in the future.
