Chapter 120: Recruiting Troops (1)

Xiao Zhenlei went to the county office the next morning to get the relevant approval back, with the approval of the government, it is equivalent to having an official recognized identity, and after Ge County ordered to receive the money, he gave Xiao Zhenlei the identity of the general commander of the township Yong battalion, although the township Yong battalion is not a regular military unit, it is only a temporary irregular military unit that can be dismantled at any time, but it is also an officially recognized local armed force, with this officially recognized local armed identity, Xiao Zhenlei can train the troops in a bright and bright manner.

Soon, the barren mountains behind the factory site were surrounded by barbed wire by Xiao Zhenlei, prohibiting anyone from approaching and entering, and the eagle got Xiao Zhenlei's instructions and began to lead people to build the barracks and training grounds of the escort team here, while Hu Weishan was specifically responsible for recruiting troops, not only recruiting people on the factory site, but also sending Wu Shirong to recruit people in the western part of Shanghai.

A few days ago, Ma Hanlong, who had been lying in the hospital to recuperate, was finally discharged, Ma Hanlong was very grateful to Xiao Zhenlei for sending someone to the hospital for treatment in time in the ring that day and paying all the medical expenses, if it wasn't for Xiao Zhenlei, he would have been seriously injured and died. In order to be with Hu Weishan and these brothers, and in order to repay Xiao Zhenlei's kindness, he decided to stay and be loyal to Xiao Zhenlei.

Xiao Zhenlei is very happy and welcome Ma Hanlong's joining, judging from the fact that Ma Hanlong went to the ring to compete with Opiyin out of righteous indignation that day, Ma Hanlong is a person with a very national integrity, a person who is not afraid of the power of the powerful and foreigners, as long as such a person is used well. Surely loyal and competent, Xiao Zhenlei asked him to follow the eagles to train the escort team like Hu Weishan, and to be responsible for the safety of the factory site, Ma Hanlong liked this new job very much and was full of enthusiasm. After all, it was too aggrieved and boring to be lying in a hospital bed for nearly two months, and the two brothers who had been taking care of him also became part of the escort team.

Two days ago, Fast sent a telegram from the United States, saying that he had arrived in Los Angeles and had begun the work of pulling people, and that four mechanical workers had been fooled by him. And took the luggage on the ship to Shanghai, and asked Xiao Zhenlei to do a good job of reception, which is the right thing, and then send someone to the dock to hold up a sign to pick up people.

Xiao Zhenlei was very surprised by Fast's ability to fool, and he had just arrived in Los Angeles and fooled four skilled workers. Will you have it in the future? It seems that this time there is no wrong person, Fast is indeed suitable for this kind of thing, this is his specialty.

In mid-June, the construction of the power plant and the machinery plant was finally completed, and now only the infrastructure outside the plant remains, and these small things can be done slowly, and the most important building means that it can be installed just when the machine arrives.

The patrol office of the French Concession has been investigating the wharf explosion case, but the information and clues are too limited. It seems that there is no way to investigate this case at all, and even if all the black and white forces in the French Concession are mobilized, the patrol room has not received the slightest information. No one thought that Xiao Zhenlei transported the weapons and ammunition to the Baoshan construction site and hid them, and blocked the possibility of news leakage.

In order to cover up the source of weapons and ammunition for the escort force, Xiao Zhenlei had to buy weapons and ammunition from major foreign companies everywhere in the concession, but the explosion at the 16-shop wharf blew up all the weapons and ammunition in the hands of the major foreign companies, so there was also a shortage of weapons in the concession, which caused the price of weapons on the black market to skyrocket.

In the end, Xiao Zhenlei asked Bao Er and other foreign devils to get through the relationship. Two hundred old guns were purchased from the police offices of the Public Concession and the French Concession, which were pulled from the corners of the warehouses of the patrol houses of the police offices of the two concessions.

In fact, Xiao Zhenlei didn't plan to let the members of the escort team and the members of the secret operation team use this old gun at all. He just wanted the outside world to know that he bought a few hundred guns from the concession, so that. can cover up the source of the guns in the hands of the escorts, how did the legal arrest room not think that the person who did the bombing at the dock was by their side, and they drank with them and bought guns from them, Xiao Zhenlei and them came up with a trick to hide the world.

On the training ground, the queue training of the guards is in full swing, the eagle is the chief instructor, Ma Hanlong, Hu Weishan, Wu Shirong and others are the first to accept his queue training, they learn early in the morning, practice before breakfast, and after breakfast they go to teach other guards, so that the speed of training is greatly accelerated, Ma Hanlong and Hu Weishan and others are the hardest, they not only have to learn the eagle to teach them things first, and then teach the guards during the day after learning, and be responsible for the safety of the factory at night, It's nice to get three or four hours of sleep a day.

In late June, Bauer, the manager of Lihe & Co., called to say that the ship had arrived at the wharf, and asked him to prepare the means of transport to pick up the goods at the wharf.

Xiao Zhenlei immediately prepared mules and horses, board trucks and heavy lifting tools, and brought Song Shijie and others to ask them to organize factory employees to go to the dock to help get the machine parts onto the vehicle, and those machines were disassembled into parts and transported over, otherwise, with the conditions of this era, many things could not be transported as a whole.

In addition, Xiao Zhenlei also sent someone to arrange for more than a dozen technicians sent by Lihe Foreign Bank to stay in the Licha Hotel, and entertain them as much as possible with good food and drink.

It took two days to transport all the machine parts to the factory, everyone was so tired that their bones fell apart, others could take a rest, but Xiao Zhenlei couldn't rest, he had to preside over the overall situation and arrange for others to do things.

He brought Song Shijie over and instructed: "Mr. Song, now that the machine has been shipped, I estimate that it will take ten days and half a month to install so many spare parts, and what we have not done before must be done within this period of time!" ”

Song Shijie asked: "I don't know what Mr. said, I'll do it immediately!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei pondered for a while and said: "First, find some literate, young, and clever young people among the workers to follow the technical guidance sent by those Li and foreign companies, and arrange at least three or four young people around each foreigner, so that they can follow these foreigners to learn how to install the machine, how to troubleshoot the machine, how to operate the machine, etc., in short, we must learn from these foreign devils themselves, and vigorously promote and reward those young people who are willing to work hard, be diligent, hardworking, and learn quickly. You can send money and things. Second, we need to set up a technical hierarchy system for workers, for workers to assess the technical level, can not let the skilled workers and poor workers have the same salary and treatment, this is not good, the salary of skilled workers should be high, the treatment should be good, if the salary is the same, then who will work hard to study technology? How can our technology improve? How do you make more sophisticated and cutting-edge devices? Third, this is also the most important thing now, up to now, we have not found experienced, understand the factory management of professional managers, we people actually do not know factory production management, such a large company and factory, let us people who do not know anything to manage? If you manage it well, it's nothing, if you don't manage it well, you won't be able to operate, then the loss will be not just one or two dollars, but a loss of 100,000 or a million taels, so you arrange it, within this half a month, we must find someone with such talent, how to find it? On the one hand, I put job advertisements in the newspapers, and on the other hand, I asked the managers of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association and major foreign banks where there were such management talents! If someone sees a job advertisement in the newspaper and comes to apply, you inform me and I will come for an interview in person, and if you find out where there is such a talent, you should also tell me, and I will visit me personally."

Song Shijie nodded and agreed: "Okay, sir, I'll arrange these things immediately, so where is the location of the interview?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said, "Let's arrange it in the factory area, isn't there a two-story house as the office building for the management?" Just arrange it there, clean up an office for me, and I'll be there for the rest of my time! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The next day, the front page of the major newspapers in Shanghai Tang published the recruitment advertisement of Zhenhua Company, a few big words in bright red, the first position to recruit is the general manager of the company, Zhenhua Company's recruitment conditions are not limited to nationality, gender, male gender, age over 35 years old, under 60 years old, not limited to education, with more than five years of management experience in large machinery manufacturing companies, in Shanghai Tang and the surrounding areas have a certain number of contacts, the future development of machine equipment has a forward-looking vision.

There are two deputy general managers, and the recruitment conditions for these two positions are roughly the same as those of the general manager, but Zhenhua Company's professional skills of the deputy general manager are higher than those of the general manager, and the requirements for contacts and management level are lower than those of the general manager. In these two positions, Zhenhua Company also gave a little different treatment, the same is a villa house, a full-time secretary, a four-wheeled car with a full-time driver, and an annual salary of 20,000 taels of silver.
