"Left and right, left and right!"

At sunset on a wasteland by the Huangpu River, with the sound of the password, more than 1,000 men of different costumes and ages were divided into ten teams with the captain's command, walking and carrying a cowhide whip.

Although there were screams repeatedly, the scattered and chaotic crowd began to take on the appearance of a phalanx. The more than 1,000 construction workers have been training here for five days, and even the people who train them are six instructors who can speak simple Chinese from the German team of the International Chamber of Commerce.

"The foreign devil that the dog said!"

Although Zhengbu walked better than others, as long as he saw those German instructors carrying wooden couches, Wei Ze couldn't help but curse in his heart, you must know that he was still fighting with these German soldiers in Tianjin last year, but he didn't expect to be teased by them here now.

If it weren't for the fact that he had 60 yuan for practicing so hard every day, he would have stopped doing it a long time ago, so he had been suffering, all because of Qiu Niang, and this family always had to have a meal.

Oscar, who was holding a leather whip, couldn't help but nod with satisfaction as his queue was obviously neater than the other five teams, thinking that after five days of training, his team would definitely become the best team, and then the prize money of 50 taels of silver would be in his pocket.

"Stand!"

Wow, but only five days of training, this team of two hundred construction workers, who had only learned to distinguish between left and right in a day, lined up in a square line with the command of the instructor.

Seeing that their reaction was so fast, Oscar looked at "Xiao" in the distance with his spare eyes, and saw him nod his head with satisfaction, Oscar's heart was so proud!

Looking at the Chinese in the front row from the left, Oscar shouted in stiff Chinese.

"Ask the car!"

Oscar knew that the reason why his team trained better than the other teams was because he had "Ask Che", a Chinese who had been a soldier, who helped him a lot in training, and he knew how to train these ignorant Orientals.

"Yes!"

Hearing the instructor shouting his "name", in the past few days, Wei Ze had already adapted to the foreign devil's "asking for the car", and hurriedly responded from the first place in the front row of the team, ran two steps forward, stood upright, saluted, and was like a soldier, in fact, this is also the requirement of the past five days of training.

"Now you're training nonsense!"

When the order was given, Oscar handed the leather whip in his hand to Wei Ze. After taking the leather whip, Wei Ze started training without glaring, the best team trained every day, each person can get an extra ten cents, although he doesn't like foreign devils, he can't figure it out, the boss of the industrial company has to say what "first learn to prohibit the order and then work", but Wei Ze will not be awkward with Qian Fan.

"All of them, let's go...... Walk! ”

"Order, forbidden!"

Xiao Xinren, who was wearing a Virginia Military Academy uniform, watched the 1,200 workers walking back and forth on the wasteland, this is the craftsman that Lin Yuqing and they recruited in those shantytowns in the past two days, and they were not taken directly to Chen's Garden, at least according to the original plan, they should go to dig the foundation.

But I never thought that day, Fang Jingyuan put forward a request, these workers to carry out military training, teach them to learn discipline and obedience, to be precise, to learn to "order and prohibit", only when the time comes, can they be divided into three shifts, day and night non-stop construction, relying on discipline and effective scheduling, to achieve the optimization of manpower use.

Because he studied military affairs at the military academy, Xiao Xinren knew to some extent that the efficiency of sappers was far higher than that of civilian workers on any occasion, and the orders and tasks that were ordered and prohibited played a vital role in it.

Thinking of this, he then picked up the table, the "Xingye Construction Company Construction Team Regulations" compiled by Chen Moran, this charter was handed to him five days ago, and he began to ponder this construction team management charter.

"The recruited workers are organized according to the establishment of brigades, teams and squads, and each brigade has 10 teams. The first team consists of 1 captain, 1 secretary, 4 leaders, 40 engineers, and 3 men, a total of 49 people. Each team is divided into 4 squads, with the leader as the leader. The captain of each team shall be selected by the chief engineer. The team leader is not only responsible for managing the whole team and leading the work, but also responsible for recruiting the team's workers. …… The working hours of workers shall not be less than 10 hours per day, and the normal non-emergency working hours shall be changed according to the length of the day. There are no days off during the week, only two afternoons on the 1st and 15th of each month for repairing tools and washing clothes.

…… The treatment is modeled on that of the army and is called a stipend. The monthly allowance is 8 yuan for the captain, 6 yuan for the secretary, 5 yuan for the leader, 4.5 yuan for the sapper, and 3 yuan for the man. In addition, each person will be given 30 yuan for laying grass once, and each team will be given 2 yuan per month for miscellaneous expenses.

The construction team implements paramilitary management, the team places team flags, people wear labels, and the team leader issues uniforms......"

"Soldiers in work"! Looking at this charter, these four words came to Xiao Xinren's mind, in fact, in the past five days, he has been thinking about this construction team charter that is almost equivalent to "serving soldiers and working".

"Mr. Xiao!"

Just then, a voice interrupted his thoughts, and when he looked up, it was Oscar.

"Oscar, sit, drink some tea!"

Xiao Xinren pointed to the teacups on the table next to him, those workers drank large bowls of boiling water, and these instructors drank the best Longjing.

Taking a sip of tea to wipe away the dryness in his throat, Oscar pointed to his team of workers who were training under the leadership of Wei Ze.

"Mr. Xiao, look at the people I train, especially the one who asks the car, you see, he can already supervise other people now!"

For reasons of show, Oscar pointed to Wei Ze, who was in charge of training.

"Hmmm! Not bad! ”

Xiao Xinren nodded.

"Now, your third team, the training is the best! It can be seen that Mr. Oscar is indeed an excellent moral [***] person! ”

Hearing him say this, Oscar hurriedly said his physiognomy with a snake.

"Mr. Xiao, I dare to say, if you give me a hundred days, I can make my team become the best team in China!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Oscar looked at Mr. Xiao, who graduated from a [***] school in the United States. After retiring from the army, the reason why Oscar came to China and joined the International Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai was nothing more than to pan for gold, compared to the 60 taels of salary per month for the International Chamber of Commerce, and the salary of training workers for industrial companies was as much as 100 taels for ten days, if they could continue to train.

In the past few days, Oscar has fantasized that industrial companies can train workers in a steady stream, and that maybe in two or three days, he will become a rich man.

Oscar's words made Xiao Xinren smile, these six German instructors, all of them want to stay in the company to train workers for the company, three hundred taels a month, no matter how much a year plus bonuses or something, there are four thousand taels, which is undoubtedly an attractive wealth for these Germans who come to China to pan for gold.

"Mr. Oscar, you should know that our company needs not soldiers, but workers!"

"Mr. Xiao, the quality of a soldier will only make them work faster, right? Ten days, we can teach them obedience and discipline, if it is a hundred, no! In two months, your construction team will be a well-trained engineering force, and at that point, they will be more efficient. ”

Xiao Xinren nodded, Oscar was right, if there is enough time, this construction team can indeed train a well-trained engineering unit.

"Mr. Xiao, imagine that in the whole of Shanghai, or even in the whole of China, who else but your company can have such a well-trained engineering army? It takes half a year for other companies to build a building, but you only need a few weeks, and with this construction team, you can completely monopolize the entire construction market in Shanghai! ”

"You mean to expand our construction team into a pure engineering force?"

Xiao Xinren nodded, what Oscar said in the afternoon was indeed to his heart.

"However, since you have decided to build a construction team of the company's own, your plan is to leave at least 300 people in this engineering team after this orphanage is covered, and these people will be the backbone of the project in the future. At least ten or more major projects can be carried out at the same time! ”

When Xiao Xinren spoke, Chen Moran looked a little proud, and after Fang Jingyuan said the "imitation of the engineer system, the prohibition of orders, and the improvement of efficiency", he thought of the later generations of construction companies that were converted from railway engineers, they only retained the backbone and recruited migrant workers during construction, which enabled them to carry out multiple large projects at the same time. That's why I put forward that suggestion, and even deliberately drafted a charter for the company's construction team.

"But according to your plan, the orphanage, the factory until the bank building, and even the development of the entire Pudong, there is no interval between this, if we carry out a project, we recruit a group of people to come in, every time, we have to waste a few days of time, re-training workers, rather than this, I think, we should directly raise a large construction team, anyway, in the next few years, we will continue to build buildings, build factories, even if we don't build, as long as the company's reputation is out, with this engineering construction team, We may be able to monopolize the entire construction market in Shanghai! ”

"Monopolize Shanghai's construction market?"

Chen Moran looked at Xiao Xinren in surprise, he couldn't really take his original words seriously! But...... Thinking of this, Chen Moran frowned and pondered, it seems that it is not bad to keep a large engineering team by himself, although the cost is a little larger, but it is also widely used. What's more, by the end of the year at the latest, there will definitely be a large engineering team, and then an engineering team of several thousand people may be needed.

And more importantly, if you really have such a big engineering team, it is equivalent to holding thousands of numbers in your hands, and you can obey your own orders at any time, there was a cousin in my hometown in the past, the reason why he was able to walk sideways in the south, even the local gangsters gave him three points, but it was not an engineering team with a thousand mouthfuls in his hands, then he would do the project there is a do, almost robbed! If you get some guns for the engineering team, this is the beach...... Thinking of this, Chen Moran nodded.

"That's it, but we can't recruit more than we can now, at most 800 people! Also, the construction of the orphanage must not be delayed! …… Well! Also, I'm going to take a trip to Nanjing...... Well, it's Jiang Ning! ”
