Chapter 13 - Raising Wages (2)
There is now an empty shell in the grain and oil store, and there is no stock at all, except for two earthen round warehouses full of pigeon food that is about to turn into garbage.
The doorman in the factory will regularly deliver a copy of "Weizhou Daily" every day, so that this place is like a unit.
This time, including his two brothers, the number of employees has reached more than 20. Several of them are perennial, and the first thing Fan Jianxin did when he took office was to fire them, which he had communicated with the factory.
Let him raise a few employees who don't see each other all day, and he will definitely not do it.
In addition to these workers, there are twenty other people. That is, the average monthly salary per person is calculated at 35 yuan, and it is at least 700 yuan a month, which is really a problem!
If you don't have a penny in your account, you have to pay a salary of 700 yuan! Plus the contract fee at the end of the month is 833.33 yuan, where do you tell him to get this money?!
The problem is that in order to make up the contract deposit in the factory, all the money in his family was looted!
The money saved by my sister's work for more than a year, and the coffin book that my grandmother saved over decades...... It's all taken out; plus Hua Wei's 100 yuan, Feng Shuisheng's 100 yuan, and Yang Miao's 100 yuan to make up 1,000 yuan.
Although Ersunozi entered the store and became a temporary worker, he didn't ask for a penny to find his family. His elder brother Da Heizi is going to get married, and he is worried about getting together the bride price demanded by the woman's family, how can he have the money to make a fool of Erheizi!
His shareholding money is still paid by Fan Jianxin.
If there was really no way, Fan Jianxin would not have asked for Yang Miao's share money. In his previous life, he was so disgusted with her, and he didn't want to get involved with her at all in this life!
Now the employees suddenly bring up the matter of paying, which is really a headache for him!
Part of the store of Yuejin Flour Mill is No. 14, which belongs to the first half of the month. According to the current relevant regulations, as long as you participate in the work in the first half of the month, you should be paid the salary of the whole month; Those who participate in work on or after the 16th are only required to pay half a month's salary.
Even if it is a half-monthly salary, it has to be 350 yuan!
Where did Fan Jianxin think that on the first day of work, he encountered this tricky matter.
If this matter is handled well, it will be able to establish prestige in front of the employees, and the government decree will be able to pass in the future, and everything will go smoothly; If it is not handled well, it will be unimaginable.
The first thing he thought of was to borrow money from the factory!
He sent Director Fan to discuss with the leaders of the factory, even if he borrowed some money to pay half a month's salary first.
However, he knew that it would be difficult, because it was clearly written in the contract that the store would be responsible for its own profits and losses from the date of contracting. To put it bluntly, his relationship with the factory is only a contractual relationship, a contracting relationship, and an affiliation relationship.
There is no obligation to support you in the factory.
Sure enough, the meeting was not over yet, and his father Fan Fa was angry and came back with a blue face. Seeing this, Fan Jianxin didn't ask, and motioned for his father to sit down and continue the meeting.
In fact, Fan Jianxin gave employees a training meeting equivalent to a pre-job training meeting. He set three rules for the employees of the grain and oil store:
1. No unexcused absenteeism, late arrival, or early departure. If you are absent from work for one day, a bonus of one yuan will be deducted, and if you are absent from work for more than three days in a month, you will be dismissed.
Second, greet customers with a smile.
This one he emphasized the most, "Remember, the customer is God!" He asked the customer to come, the staff to take the initiative to greet them, to show 6 teeth and smile...... If you quarrel with a customer once, you will be deducted a bonus of one yuan, and if you quarrel more than three times in a month, you will be expelled.
This point makes it most difficult for employees to accept!
Over the years, they have worked in the store department, whether it is the citizens who come to buy grain or the farmers who come to exchange flour, they have to look at their faces.
Do you love to come!
This is the consistent attitude of their work.
Three, don't take anything from the store.
If you take the items in the store home without permission, the light one will be deducted from the bonus of the month, and the heavy one will be handed over to the factory security department for processing.
"Director Xiao Fan, you've been talking for a long time, but the salary hasn't been seen yet, not to mention the bonus, what are you deducting the money?"
"Don't worry, not only will this month's salary be paid, but the bonus will not be less than 30 yuan per person!"
As soon as these words came out, the employees at the meeting were in turmoil!
In recent years, it would be good for them, the workers of non-state-owned units, to be paid in full, and there was basically no bonus, and at most a few yuan could be paid a few yuan for the Spring Festival at the end of the year, so they were satisfied.
This little Director Fan, a big child, doesn't know who he is when he becomes the deputy director of the grain and oil store? ! I don't know how thick the sky is?! Opening and closing your mouth is a monthly bonus of 30 yuan, who can believe it?!
Even his father, Fan Fagui, who was sitting next to him, didn't believe it.
If anyone here believes what he says is only his two iron buddies, his mother Ye Nan is skeptical.
Of the seven contractors of the grain and oil store, three of whom were from his family, plus his two good brothers, there would certainly be no problem if they were to vote.
But where can you get the money for your salary?!
"Comrades, this is the end of our induction training meeting. The rules set by Master Li are to be copied on paper with a brush and pasted on the wall, and they will be implemented today......
I know that people are concerned about wages and bonuses, please give me a few days, at least five days, at most ten days, and we will pay them out. Now, I'm going to arrange specific jobs and find a way to earn our first month's salary and bonuses......"
The employees present are curiously looking forward to Fan Jianxin's actions.
To be honest, they are still quite interested in this fart leader, although they ignore him on the surface, but they still think that this person has some ability because of his mouth full of fresh words and whimsical and unreliable ideas.
But most people have the mentality of trying it out for him, if it doesn't work, they have to find a way to transfer to Yang Lei's flour exchange department, or the multi-manager in the factory.
Fan Jianxin first arranged for Hua Wei to take people to the factory to transfer flour and products, which does not need to be paid in cash, as long as the sales department applies for the record, and then go to the corresponding workshop to go through the delivery procedures, and the store accounting and accounting department settle the account every month.
It's a cliché, that's how grain and oil stores work.
Fan Jianxin arranged for his mother Ye Nan to be the cashier of the grain and oil store temporarily, and his father was in charge of the store's business as a whole.
The mother really has something to do, and the father is a hands-off shopkeeper.
Then, Fan Jianxin took Erhezi to the printing workshop in the factory.
Yuejin Flour Mill has a small printing workshop, which is responsible for printing the words on various flour bags, sacks, and overalls, as well as printing wrapping paper such as noodles, accounting statements, and lists of goods.
Fan Jianxin found the director of the printing workshop...... Two thousand coupons and ten thousand giveaway coupons for several kinds of shopping were printed by the staring workers.
In this day and age, people use many kinds of tickets to buy daily necessities.
From grain and oil, daily necessities, industrial products, tobacco and alcohol, to pork, cloth, cotton, coal, etc., so that tickets run through people's entire lives.
The use of tickets has become a habit of people, and it has imprinted all kinds of tickets in people's hearts.
Tickets, no matter what they are, have a certain value in the eyes of people. Privately, it is not uncommon for people to exchange various tickets for cash.
Before today's meeting, Fan Jianxin saw a news from the "Weizhou Daily" that the pigeon competition will be held in Weizhou City on the 20th of this month.
He remembered the pigeon food in the two earthen barns.
If hundreds of thousands of catties of pigeon food can be turned into money, not only the wages and bonuses of the employees of the grain and oil stores will be settled, but even the follow-up inter-bank trading will have start-up capital.
He came up with the idea of printing shopping vouchers.
Speaking of 2,000 coupons, it is a lot, but each one is only the size of a movie ticket, and five large sheets of paper are printed; 10,000 coupons for various shopping giveaways, and ten sheets of paper were printed.
The coupon says that with this ticket, each ticket will be supplied with 200 catties of pigeon food, 1 point per catty. Valid for three days, from 20 to 22 December 1982; The sub-coupon reads, tear this line, invalid, etc.
The shopping gift coupon says that for every 50 catties of flour purchased in this store (East Street Yuejin Flour Mill Grain and Oil Store), 1 catty of noodles will be given with the ticket, and the validity period is from December 20 to before the Spring Festival.
Since ancient times, the city has been known as the hometown of pigeons, and a pigeon race is held in December every year to celebrate the New Year. Tens of thousands of selected pigeons compete in a spectacular spectacle, especially when the pigeons are released.
Although Fan Jianxin does not raise pigeons, there is no shortage of people who raise pigeons in the neighbors at the door. Since I was a teenager, I have been going to the pigeon competition every year to join in the fun.
In later generations, the feed of pigeons was mainly wheat, corn, beans, and sorghum, and in the era of material poverty, wheat and other crops were not enough for people to eat, so how could they feed the pigeons?
At that time, the feed for pigeons was mainly weed seeds such as weeds and weeds selected from wheat, such as wheat grains and wheat lingzhu, which were collectively referred to as pigeon food.
The pigeons are only fed corn, wheat and other grains when they are in competitions.
Fan Jianxin printed the coupon and asked two pallet trucks to load the weed seeds under the wheat sieve stored in the earthen round silo in a dozen sacks, which is the pigeon food written on the coupon.
Each bag is 100 catties, and dozens of bags are 3,000 catties.
Everyone didn't know what they meant, and Fan Jianxin didn't explain much. In my previous life, I gave a lecture to the students of an ordinary high school all day long, and I was too lazy to say a word of nonsense in this life.
Fan Jianxin took Erhezi and others to pull two carts of pigeon food, and went straight to the Weizhou Pigeon Association......
Fan Jianxin asked the others to look at the cart, and only took Erhezi to find the chairman of the pigeon association and explain his intentions.
One is to sponsor 3,000 pounds of pigeon food as a prize for the pigeon conference held on the 20th;
The second is to give 2,000 coupons to the participating pigeon owners who can buy pigeon food from the flour mill grain and oil store at a low price.
He also told the president of the association that the owners of the pigeon races can only issue one coupon per person. If you really have a good relationship with you, you can give one more, but you can't let others know about it, so as not to cause conflicts.
Moreover, their grain and oil store only prepared 2,000 tickets for pigeon food, and those who did not have tickets could only buy them at the market price.
The market price of this kind of pigeon food brought by Fan Jianxin can generally be sold at 1.5 cents to 2 cents a catty, but the sales volume is very low, and the attitude of the salesman in the store department is not good, so it can't sell much in a year. Otherwise, there would not be hundreds of thousands of catties left in the two earth round warehouses.
Now with the coupon, only 1 point per catty, which is of course a great discount.
The chairman of the association is a man in his fifties, and when he saw someone giving prizes and coupons to the pigeon competition, he smiled and was overjoyed, and warmly received Fan Jianxin and Erhezi.
"Ah, you are so young that you are the person in charge of the grain and oil store of the flour mill!"
Today, in the printing workshop of the flour mill, Fan Jianxin printed some simple business cards (a thin piece of paper, the size of half a palm) with his name, position, address, telephone number, and scope of business in the grain and oil store.
He handed one to the president of the association.
"Yes, I am in charge of more than 20 men and women in the grain and oil store, and I have the right! I also like to raise pigeons, but I am busy with work and don't have time! Keeping pigeons is not easy...... I decided to sponsor your pigeon races this time. ”
Fan Jianxin pretended to be forced to show off and show off with the chairman of the pigeon association, and the two sunspots blinked when he saw it.
I thought, aren't your 2,000 coupons just printed casually? ……
