"Crazy! Lose your marbles! It's all crazy! ”

Early in the morning, Fang Zizhou, who was woken up by the noise outside the yard, couldn't help but shake his head and scold, how many days is this? It's the sixth day.

He didn't have to think about it, he knew what the scene was outside the hospital now, and the people who were crowded and waiting for the recruitment of workers were afraid that they could travel a few miles.

Almost fifteen years later, the recruitment office at the ferry port was surrounded by hundreds of people, they only asked about one thing, and they did not recruit workers, and in the next few days, thousands of people gathered here, asking for only one of the 200 jobs.

A piece of the ocean in one day! It's the old wealth of the landlord in the countryside, and he can't earn so much silver in a day.

"The company will achieve a piece of work! Any worker of a qualified industrial company, regardless of age or type of work, receives his own wage. ”

Ma Yu shook his head with the newspaper and admired the chairman's generosity, the chairman can be regarded as throwing a big bomb in the Qing Dynasty in this big year, this bomb blew up everyone, it used to take at least half a month to recruit hundreds of workers, but now, there are tens of thousands of people waiting for them to pick outside.

"Look at what the chairman said,"

With the newspaper in his hand, Ma Yu pointed to one of the sentences and read it aloud.

"I'd rather have 50,000 of the new generation of workers in my company who have become wealthy than just a handful of millionaires in my company!"

After that, Ma Yu slapped the newspaper and shouted.

"I'm just saying, the chairman is a person who does a big business, let's go to the industry, and meet a person like the chairman, that's the luck of our life!"

"Hmm!"

Fang Zizhou nodded, but when he was about to brush his teeth, he suddenly remembered another thing.

"You say, these workers get a dollar a day, will our wages be higher?"

Ma Yu, who only asked one sentence, almost didn't bite off his tongue, what was Fang Zizhou thinking in his head, is the salary of sixty yuan a month less? Definitely no less.

"Don't mention this, do you see the company's new recruitment standards?"

Outside the gate of Pudong Mustang Automobile Factory, like any subordinate enterprise of an industrial company, there is also a long queue here, although the two yuan salary has already been realized here, but the two yuan salary of Mustang Automobile is far less than that after the New Year, the chairman of the company released the "one yuan work said" at the press conference to make a greater sensation.

However, everyone in the circle knows that the treatment of the Mustang Automobile and Machinery Factory is the best in the industrial company, almost from the establishment of the Mustang Automobile Factory, and there are often some job seekers waiting to be hired at his gate, ranging from dozens to two or three hundred, but now there are more people in line, and there are even workers from as far away as Hanyang and other places.

The person in charge of maintaining order called in 10 people at a time, handed out a piece of paper to each person in the reception room, and several staff members instructed them to fill in their names and residences on the piece of paper, and then went to another reception room.

There are two male clerks from the Human Resources Division who interview job seekers and ask very simple questions.

"Have you worked at this factory before?"

"Jinling Arsenal!"

"What kind of machine can you make?"

"Milling machine!"

"Do you have any other hopes for your job?"

"I just want a higher salary!"

"Are you satisfied with our two-dollar-a-day salary?"

"That's what I'm coming from!"

The question-and-answer answer only made the three of them laugh, and the workers who passed the question will undergo a physical examination, which is the responsibility of the doctors of Pudong Hospital. In the experience room, each worker is stripped naked, and then at the mercy of the eyes, the eyes and other internal and external organs of the body are examined in turn, and those who pass will be sent to the next reception room.

This reception room is responsible for the registration of inquiries, and job seekers must answer questions such as name, residence, date of birth, time of arrival in Shanghai, whether they have wife and children, education and skills, etc., and the questions and answers are recorded by the recorder and kept on file by the company. After passing this level, each qualified job seeker will be issued with a label of an industrial company, and the admission work will be over, and then after passing the 6-month trial period, many of them can get a salary of two yuan, of course, the vast majority of workers can only get a salary of one yuan, and many more can not even get a dollar.

“…… When a group of workers from industrial companies, including newly hired workers in high spirits, dressed in clean overalls, and wearing a glittering bronze medal of the industrial company on their chests, came to work, they were blocked from entering the factory by hungry and cold job seekers who had gathered there. Whether out of jealousy of the workers of the industrial company or to vent their frustrations, the job seekers are stuck there, and the two sides are confronted. Faced with this situation, the employees of the industrial company wanted to open a passage for the workers to enter, so the two sides began to push and pull, and finally a fierce fight began with the factory employees and workers on the one hand, and the job seekers on the other. Eventually, the police from the Pudong Police Department finally intervened in the clash by spraying water with high-pressure taps into the ranks of job seekers, who returned fire with stones and frozen clods. When the temperature was below zero degrees Celsius, the water sprayed on the clothes, and immediately formed into hard ice cubes, and finally, the job seekers finally dispersed, and many of the glass of the industrial company was shattered......"

Regarding the conflict reported in the newspaper, Chen Moran just smiled, but pointed to the newspaper in his hand and said to Huang Huiyun, who was sitting in front of him.

"Yunda, you see, it only costs one dollar, and I get the essence of the Chinese workers!"

"Boss, the whole Qing Kingdom says you're crazy!"

Although he understands that the boss's one-dollar salary allows the company to get the best workers, Huang Huiyun also knows what kind of impact this wage level will have on China's weak industries, and many in the industrial community think that he is doing this to destroy the industry of the Qing Dynasty......

"Some people say it's an extremely touching act of generosity, isn't it?"

Chen Moran only smiled, perhaps the original intention of increasing wages was to improve the treatment of workers and avoid possible strikes or riots in the future, but now this high wage allows the company to select the best workers, with high wages machinery factories, automobile factories, and steel factories to attract thousands of mature technicians at one time, and this saves the company millions of training fees.

"Generous or not, you know, it's just good business!"

Throwing away the newspaper in his hand, he stood up and walked to the easel next to his desk, and Chen Moran lifted the white cloth covering the plate, which showed a neatly planned community.

"Yunda, look, this is the workers' community that I asked Xuanlin to design for me!"

Pointing to the planning map on the board, Chen Moran looked a little proud, this two-story small building is not a "conjoined villa" in the future! When Fang Jingyuan took out this design drawing, Chen Moran was somewhat unacceptable, after all, this was completely different from the workers' community he envisioned, this kind of townhouse should be a house of the "rich class" in Chen Moran's eyes, but in Fang Jingyuan's planning, it has become the building of the workers' community.

"Steel is more expensive than bricks! Bricks are cheaper than cement! ”

In the end, Fang Jingyuan's explanation only Chen Moran understood that the purpose of building this kind of two-story red brick building was to save costs, according to Chen Moran's vision of the kind of multi-storey community, 20 kilograms of steel per square meter are needed, and a household of 150 square meters needs several tons of steel, just the cost of steel is equivalent to one square dollar.

This kind of two-story brick building does not need reinforced concrete beams and columns, only red bricks are needed, and prefabricated floor slabs only need a small amount of steel bars, which can naturally reduce the cost to the maximum extent that the workers can accept.

"Workers' quarters?"

Huang Huiyun looked at the community on the planning renderings in surprise, not only with conjoined two-story buildings, but also with neat asphalt roads, and even facilities such as parks and stadiums...... Is this a workers' quarter? Even in this concession, the vast majority of Chinese live in places that are not as good as here.

"Yunda, since the beginning of the year, I have taken a look at the workers' residential areas in Pudong and Ma'anshan, and the conditions in which those workers live are not ideal, just simple adobe houses, which are not only crowded, but also dirty. So I want to change the crowded and dirty situation of the workers' settlements, and make the workers' communities of industrial companies clean, safe and full of corporate culture! A good living environment will not only allow workers to improve production efficiency, but also be loyal to the factory and take the enterprise as their home. And it also prevents the bad habits that the workers usually have to be exposed to not spread here. ”

When he said this, Chen Moran seemed to have really become a big philanthropist, full of compassion.

"Of course, I also hope that through this kind of attempt, the factory can reduce costs, increase profits, and introduce a whole new set of business operation models to China and even the world."

opened a rendering, and another rendering appeared in front of Huang Huiyun's eyes.

"Yunda, you see, in the future, our workers will not only live in neat brick houses on both sides of the smooth street, but also have well-manicured lawns. And there are water and gas pipes and sewers in the house, do you know how much gas is wasted in a year in our coking plant in Ma'anshan? Next year, the output of the coking plant in Ma'anshan alone will reach 600,000 tons, and as much as 30 million cubic meters of gas will be burned in vain a year, which will not only pollute the environment, but also waste wealth. ”

Chen Moran shook his head, all looking pity.

"After proper treatment, this gas is enough to meet the living needs of 800,000 people, and when building the community, laying gas pipelines and introducing this gas into the homes of workers can increase the company's income by millions!"

As he spoke, Chen Moran showed his fox tail, and from the time he decided to increase the wages of his workers, he was thinking about recovering the cost from other places.

“…… Each house has a septic tank that can be used as fertilizer after sedimentation, and the company doesn't have a lot of land that cannot be used for the time being? These lands can be contracted to farmers to grow vegetables, and the grain and vegetables grown in the fields can be transported back to the city to be sold to residents, so as to solve the living needs of workers and make full use of the company's idle resources! And most importantly! ”

Suddenly smug with a smile, Chen Moran looked at Huang Huiyun and his expression became extremely serious.

"All these vegetables will be sold in the workers' welfare cooperative, and workers of any industrial company can buy vegetables at lower prices than the market price here, and even agricultural and sideline products such as pork and eggs with the supply book, which will make those workers forever grateful to me and the industrial company!"

When listening to the chairman's introduction, Huang Huiyun was simply confused, this boss made such a big deal to build such a house, how many people can afford such a house? muttered in his heart and was about to say his opinion, but Chen Moran put down those pictures.

Huang Huiyun, who looked confused, looked at the boss who was a little excited, and couldn't figure out why the boss was talking to him about this. There is a clear division of labor within the industrial company, and he is in charge of banking and financing, just like Fang Jingyuan is only responsible for construction matters.

"Chairman, the planning is good, but how much is such a house?"

"Yunda, I know, you must ask this, according to Xuanlin's calculations, the construction cost of a building is about 127 yuan! One acre of land can build 5 residences, and in Pudong, the cost price of land is 60 yuan, so the nuclear price is 400 yuan! ”

"400 yuan, this price is not high, if it is in the concession, such a house can be sold for at least 1,000 yuan!"

Glancing at the renderings, Huang Huiyun even had the idea of buying a few such houses, the price is very fair, and it can even be described as cheap, of course, only for some people.

"And if you save a little bit, those workers can buy a house in two years!"

"But I didn't say I was going to sell it!"

Chen Moran, who was smiling, just shook his head.

"We have to be considerate of the workers in the company, they have only just increased their wages, and they don't have so much money in hand, so the company paid to build the house, and then rented it to them, a house for 6 yuan, so that the cost of two years of rent will be recovered."

"Rent or sell?"

Maybe it's because he rented a foreigner's house in the concession, and the encounter of renting but not selling, made Huang Huiyun frown when he heard this word.

"Of course not! Yunda, we are not foreign devils, how can we do such a lack of morality! ”

As he spoke, Chen Moran forgot that he was doing the same thing in Pudong.

"It's just for the time being, those workers can't get the money to buy a house, so let's rent it to them, the lease period! The first phase is five years, and after five years, they can pay to buy the house, of course, the company will not take advantage of them, and the company's employees can buy their own houses with 80% of the market price! ”

In fact, from beginning to end, there was only one thing in Chen Moran's mind, to reduce the cost of the enterprise as much as possible and increase the profits of the enterprise, even if he was forced to increase his salary due to the panic in his heart, he still wanted to take back the money sent from his left hand from his right hand.

Just by thinking about it, Huang Huiyun understood the calculation in the chairman's heart, what kind of compassion is there, and it is still for the sake of one word "profit".

"Hmmm! The chairman of the board of directors has a good idea, through these workers, the community is revitalized, and then the rent collected in those years not only recovers the cost, but also will get much higher than the profit from the sale of the house, five years later, the place is alive, the house price is naturally high, the house is sold, and it is a net profit, and these societies are probably indispensable to the chairman of the workers' welfare society, the popularity is strong, those shops can naturally be rented at a high price, the store is rented to the outside world, the rent for five years is three hundred and six, five years later, the house price has risen, and the workers have surplus money in their hands, But it costs five or six hundred yuan to buy a house that has actually been quietly bought. Chairman, this house, in your hands, has been sold at least three times! ”

The admiration on Huang Huiyun's face made Chen Moran, who was not without pride, lean back, supported the chair arm with both hands, and then smiled slightly, closed his eyes and recuperated!

"Yunda, in this community, the workers get the houses they need, and the company gets the profits they need!"

At this time, Chen Moran added.

"Moreover, to earn a dollar of wages, you must have the discipline of a dollar of wages! This community will be a model of civilization, not only externally, but even in the homes of the workers, it will be neat and hygienic, the sheets must be changed every two days, the grass cannot be used for vegetables, the height of the grass must also meet the standard, only two days a week will be allowed to dry clothes, and then the company will send an investigator to investigate the workers' homes, and report to the company when they come back which are qualified and which are not qualified, and if they are not qualified, they will be dismissed directly, and at that time, The environment of these communities will be more than a model for the whole world, and a good environment will naturally be the beginning of good housing prices, you say? ”

"Chairman, I wonder if the Industrial Bank has a chance to get involved?"

Totaling the profits that will be brought by the real estate development within the industrial company, Huang Huiyun hurriedly smiled and asked, the profits of his own right and left hand exchanges, that is also profits!

"The bank naturally wants to get involved in this matter, and if you want to get the house price up, the bank is indispensable, the house is not only sold to workers, but also sold to outsiders, and the price for outsiders is 450 yuan, and anyone only needs to pay a 30% deposit to live in, and the remaining 70% can be divided into ten or twenty installments."

"Installments?"

Huang Huiyun asked rhetorically in an uncertain tone.

"It is to repay the loan on a monthly basis, calculate their arrears and interest, and then divide them into monthly installments, ten years into one hundred and twenty installments, twenty years into two hundred and forty installments, and repay five or six yuan a month, after twenty years, the house will belong to him, if it is in arrears for four months, the bank can take back the house for public auction."

In later generations, Chen Moran was just a "house slave" material, and he did real estate development there, even if he developed real estate in Pudong, it was also according to the half-tone real estate knowledge that he heard and witnessed on TV and magazines in later generations, and he was experimenting there, and the results of the experiment were not bad, so naturally here he also wanted to introduce the "house slave" into China in advance.

Just when Huang Huiyun opened his mouth to say something, the door rang twice, and then Yu Hongyu pushed the door and walked in.

"Chairman, Wuchang Branch Office sent a telegram, and Zhang, the Governor of Liangjiang and Huguang, arrived in Shanghai by boat three days later, and inspected the factories in various parts of the industry......"
