Chapter Forty-Eight: The Bonus Storm II
During the Spring Festival of '81, all the families of the workers of the Xiangyang Chemical Plant were very happy, the efficiency of the factory was very good, and the wages and bonuses were very high.
I am also doing well, and when I see others doing well, my heart will not be too sour.
But Wang Haifu is different, Wang Weidong is his son, and he feels that it is necessary to talk to his son about this matter.
"Don't think that incident is a trivial matter, think about it before doing things in the future! In your factory for the disabled, if everyone eats a big pot of rice for fifty or sixty yuan a month, everyone feels good, but if most people earn 100 and a few earn 200, even if their income increases a lot, most people must be dissatisfied! Think about it! Wang Haifu said.
"What's the big deal, shouldn't I have racked my brains for the sake of the factory in the past two years to make a little more? Who would want to do things if they couldn't make more? Wang Weidong said.
"If you think so, something will happen sooner or later! What you say is a small reason, and a small truth must be subordinated to a big truth! Wang Haifu said.
"Dad, can you explain to me what the big truth is?" Wang Weidong asked.
"What most people think is right is the truth!" Wang Haifu replied.
Seeing that his son didn't understand, Wang Haifu said angrily: "You are a person who creates problems!" Think for yourself when you go back! ”
A few days after the Spring Festival, Deputy Director Fang sent someone to ask Wang Weidong to go to his office.
"Weidong, it is said that I can't control you if you are working alone now, but are you a factory kid, I am always your uncle, right? A few people from your factory and their parents came to me to report your problem, and I told them that now that you are working alone, Xiangyang Chemical Factory can't control your business, so it is easy to talk about it to stop them back. Deputy Director Fang said.
"Thank you, Uncle Fang, thanks to you for doing the work for me." Wang Weidong said gratefully.
In fact, those people who felt that it was unfair for them to get a bonus of 200 yuan and a bonus of 500 yuan for cadres of course knew that the radio factory had nothing to do with the Xiangyang Chemical Factory, but due to ideological inertia, they still went to the factory to find the deputy director of the factory to respond to the problem.
"I've been reflecting on myself for the past few days, and I feel like I'm really not doing it properly." Wang Weidong pretended to be sincere and said.
"Weidong, you're right to think so! Are you a cadre, do a little more, and your heart will be unbalanced? As a cadre leader, you must be selfless and dedicated! Deputy Director Fang said.
Wang Weidong nodded and said, "Uncle Fang is right, I guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen again!" ”
"Actually, I came to you today to talk about another thing, more than 20 disabled young people who transferred out of your factory came to me, and they all asked to return to work in the radio factory. Deputy Director Fang asked.
The current entrepreneurial radio factory is a private factory, and Wang Weidong can completely refuse these people to return to the factory as workers, and Deputy Director Fang has no authority to order him.
But Wang Weidong knew that he couldn't do that, and it was immature to do that.
"Since they are willing to come back, let them come back! Uncle Fang, don't worry, I will definitely treat everyone equally! Wang Weidong said.
"Weidong, you're doing the right thing!" Deputy Director Fang said with relief.
Every day, someone finds their home, and Deputy Director Fang is really unbearable.
After Wang Weidong returned to the rented house of the radio factory, he saw Liu Jianguo, who only tested the radio, in the factory, and Shi Yueshuang and Bao Qihang both went home.
"Jianguo, I am with Chen Jihong now, and we will get married in a few months, when will you have a happy event?" Wang Weidong asked.
"Who like me wants to marry me?" Liu Jianguo replied dejectedly.
"You've saved one or two thousand in the past two years, isn't that enough money to get married?" Wang Weidong said.
"You can get married for 500 yuan, and if you get Chen Jihong's house upside down, I can't do it, and no one wants 2,000 yuan!" Liu Jianguo said.
"Two thousand dollars is not willing, what about five thousand dollars?" Wang Weidong asked.
"Five thousand? You give me the other 3,000 dollars? Liu Jianguo asked unhappily.
"You can earn it yourself." Wang Weidong replied.
"How to earn? Now our factory is already good, I can add the 500 yuan in a year, and I will save more than 1,000 yuan, and it will be a few years before I can save 5,000 yuan. Liu Jianguo said.
"I'm afraid that the price will rise again at that time!" Wang Weidong said jokingly.
He approached Liu Jianguo and whispered: "Jianguo, do you want to make more money faster?" ”
Liu Jianguo looked at him puzzled.
"As you know, the fact that I gave a bonus of 500 yuan to several of our cadres was reported to Deputy Director Fang by the workers in the factory. It seems that if I continue to do this in the future, the dozen or so workers will definitely make a fuss! We have done more than them, and we have greater responsibilities than them, and they have no opinion on these, and they will have more bonuses than them, and they will have opinions immediately! Wang Weidong said.
"Today, Deputy Director Fang sent me to say that more than a dozen employees of our radio factory who had been transferred to other places were now clamoring to come back, and I had to agree under pressure from Deputy Director Fang. In the future, the piecework workload will definitely decrease, and the income will naturally decrease. Wang Weidong continued.
"You're really not a good factory director!" Liu Jianguo said sincerely.
"It's not easy for all people to know me like you do! But they can't see it! When we are working, we have no opinion on those who do more, and if we take a little more money, they will immediately have an opinion. Wang Weidong said with emotion.
"So I came up with a way, a few of us can work more and earn a little more!" Wang Weidong continued.
"How can I make more?" Liu Jianguo asked.
"I have a grasp of the number of specific electronic components, and when I purchased from the factory in Wuxi, I purchased them in two batches, and the larger one went into the factory account, and the more than 30 workers who came back evenly distributed the radio installation, and everyone made the same amount on the surface. But I will purchase a small number of electronic components, and these electronic components are in my hands, and you, me, and Chen Jihong will install the kind of radio that can listen to TV programs. I intercepted some of the mail-order radio payments and letters I received every day, and sent them out the radios that the three of us had produced. Wang Weidong replied.
"In fact, we just secretly do more than others and make money by working more. You and Chen Jihong are the people I trust the most, so let's do it together! Wang Weidong finally said.
More than 20 disabled people left when the radio factory was decoupled from the Xiangyang Chemical Plant, and now they think that the radio factory is still better, so there are more than a dozen people coming back, so that there are more than 30 workers in the radio factory, and the number of radios installed by each person will definitely be reduced, and the monthly salary according to the piecework wage will also be reduced.
Wang Weidong did this to ensure the workload of him, Liu Jianguo, and Chen Jihong, that is, income.
Liu Jianguo calculated the increased processing fee for each radio, but Wang Weidong continued: "After deducting the cost of electronic components, the rest is ours!" ”
Liu Jianguo's heart was pounding!
