Chapter Seventy-Four: Changes (1)
Kaile's investment in a fertilizer production base in Luzon is not bluffing, but a real project.
At present, Homo sapiens has controlled the Fernando family, the Lopez family, the Dutt family, and the Tusun family, and is the uncrowned king of Luzon.
Of the remaining three big families, in fact, a small number of middle- and lower-class members have been infiltrated.
Therefore, Homo sapiens also seems to be a little unscrupulous in doing things within Luzon.
For example, as the earliest base camp, that is, the provinces controlled by the Fernando family, the initial transformation of giant enterprises was completed after this time.
Southern Luzon.
Around Ciudad Sud of Lima.
More and more farmers were forced to join agricultural cooperatives or had to go bankrupt and become urban workers, while land was quickly concentrated in the hands of Haitian Agriculture.
At this time, a large number of construction workers in the urban area of Limanan are working hard, like a swarm of tireless worker ants.
The large infrastructure in southern Luzon has made it full of construction sites, and a large number of bankrupt farmers, small handicraftsmen, and small industrial and commercial workers have not become impoverished because of bankruptcy, but feel that their lives have been much better.
Bauer, who used to work as a fisherman in a small fishing village, wiped his sweat and threw the dirt from the tunnel to the sides with a shovel.
He feels lucky, although the half acre of fish pond in his family has been sold, he now has a salary of about 4,000 pesos (equivalent to 660 Chinese yuan) a month compared to the days when he didn't make much money from his hard work.
If that's all there is to it, life won't get much better.
However, as an employee of the Homo sapiens department, there are many hidden benefits, such as performance points, staff dormitories, employee canteens, internal discounts, children's education, medical insurance, etc., which are all benefits that ordinary small businesses cannot support.
At least Bauer doesn't have to worry about the education of his two children, and his wife works as a picker in a supermarket, and this kind of dual-employee family is also a better part of the local life.
"Bauer, it's time for lunch break."
Hearing a worker not far away calling him, Bauer hurriedly climbed up with a shovel.
"Whew! It's too hot. The worker complained as he wrung out the towel that wiped his sweat.
Bauer licked his dry lips: "What do you eat at noon?" ”
"How about going to the East Star Restaurant?" The worker suggested.
"Dongxing? We're in Nancheng, is it necessary to go that far? Bauer asked, scratching his head.
The worker looked angry: "Those stupid pigs in the Balikun restaurant, I want to beat them up when I see them, they think they are the masters?" I have already written a bad review complaint to the supervision department, and I will let them know how good Lao Tzu is next month. ”
"You don't want to die?" Bauer said worriedly.
The worker sneered: "Bauer, you have to learn more from my brother, this is the power given to us by the head office, all employees are equal, those stupid pigs think that they are the staff cafeteria, they dare to put on a show and bully us, I just want to complain about them." ”
Bauer, of course, knew that this was one of the powers given to all employees by the head office.
In the whole city of Lima South, there are a total of 8 designated staff restaurants, which are managed by the Home of Plenty.
As for the service attitude and meals in the staff restaurant, the manager of each staff restaurant is responsible for it.
Although other employees have no way to order the restaurant, it does not mean that the restaurant can do its own thing, because employees can choose to eat at other restaurants and complain about bad restaurants.
All the complaint investigation and handling work is not the responsibility of the subsidiary itself, but the supervision department of the head office.
Once a staff restaurant is complained about a large number of complaints, or the profitability is very poor, the supervision department will inevitably intervene in the investigation.
The employees involved in the restaurant that were found to be problematic were either imprisoned, assigned to mines and farms as ordinary employees, or directly dismissed.
But Bauer didn't believe that the supervision department would pay attention to such a small matter, not to mention that the manager of the staff restaurant was from the Fernando family, so he asked the workers not to set themselves on fire.
It's a pity that he didn't know that his co-worker was a soldier hidden at the grassroots level of the company, and he also received the salary of the internal service department.
The soldier's task is very simple, supervising the middle and lower levels of the subsidiary, as well as guiding the junior staff.
Complaining about the staff restaurant with a bad service attitude is one of the guiding tasks of this soldier, the purpose is to let the grassroots employees understand that the company's regulations are inviolable, the supervision department is fair and strict, and the boss is the person who really cares about them.
Bauer didn't quite believe it at this time, but still chose to go to the East Star Restaurant with this good friend.
They were accompanied by six or seven other construction workers.
Come to the bus stop.
After a while, a Golden Dragon bus appeared not far away.
Bauer and others through the staff card, half price on the bus, there are not a few passengers on the bus, a few people casually find a place to sit, the air conditioning in the car is very sufficient.
"Cool, this car is much better than the old bus before, and it doesn't emit black smoke." Bauer complained.
Other passengers felt the same way.
In the past, the buses in the south of Lima were not only tattered, the aging diesel engines emitted black smoke as soon as they started, but also the buses were ventilated on all sides, and there was no air conditioning at all.
Hearing Bauer's complaint, the bus driver smiled bitterly: "You think I don't want to turn on the air conditioning, but the old bus has no air conditioning at all, or this batch of new cars is good and comfortable to drive." ”
"Old Muk, this car is not cheap, is it?"
"Let your company maintain more! Otherwise, black smoke will come out again in a few years. ”
The old driver shook his head: "This is a natural gas car, it doesn't burn diesel, and it doesn't emit black smoke." ”
"Natural gas cars? We won't find gas on our side, will we? One of the passengers asked, confused.
The old driver gently slapped the steering wheel: "Who knows?" ”
In fact, cities in southern Luzon have built a number of methane fermentation plants to supply the gas needs of local residents, and there is even a gradual overcapacity.
Although it is possible to store excess methane by expanding the storage tank.
But this is not the way to go, because in addition to the 11 methane fermentation plants that have been built so far, there are 8 methane fermentation plants under construction in other cities, and 14 methane fermentation plants that are in the planning state.
These methane fermentation plants will be put into use one after another, and the methane production in Luzon will reach between 8 billion ~ 10 billion cubic meters per month.
Even if there is the consumption of fertilizer production bases, there is no way to eat so much methane.
Therefore, after discussing with a group of management, Fang Xincheng decided to introduce natural gas vehicles, and the partners are King Long Automobile Company and Shaanxi Automobile Company.
King Long Automobile mainly supplies buses, ambulances, fire trucks, tourist buses, etc.; Shaanxi Automobile Company supplies large trucks, small trucks, cold chain transport vehicles, garbage trucks and the like.
These vehicles are required to be uniformly converted into natural gas vehicles, but the gas cylinders do not need to be equipped by them, and are assembled by Homo sapiens itself.
Anyway, the gas cylinder storage tank of our own company is very good, and the methane produced by ourselves is very cheap, so that the fuel cost in the transportation cost is greatly reduced.
Although the bus fare has dropped, the bus company is still profitable, and even increased by about 63% compared to the previous profit.
The secret of this is that fuel costs have dropped dramatically, infrastructure has improved and energy consumption has been reduced by a small amount, and the number of people taking buses has increased due to the general increase in residents' incomes.
What is Competitiveness?
That's competitiveness.
