It was already noon when Shen Man got up. If she hadn't been hungry, she might have slept until night.
"Mom." After washing up and going downstairs, Li Jinhua just finished cooking.
"Wake up, thank you for your hard work!" Li Jinhua went to get her bowls and chopsticks.
At noon, it was just the old couple and Shen Man who had dinner.
The two children eat in the school cafeteria. They can play with their classmates until class, so they don't come back to eat.
"Where's Brother Chen?" Shen Man took a bite of steamed buns and didn't see Gu Chen.
Li Jinhua replied: "Chenzi went to the blanket factory and said he could just drive there when you wake up."
Hearing this, Shen Man nodded, cleaned up after finishing his meal, and then went upstairs.
Just put on clean clothes, find a coat to put on, and put on light makeup.
After going out and getting into the car, Shen Man saw a crowd of people as soon as he drove to the entrance of the alley.
What happened?
I parked the car and went to check it out. According to what my neighbor said, the bike must have been stolen.
"Comrade, please help us look for it!" the old lady grabbed the police officer's clothes and spoke coquettishly.
A bicycle is very expensive these days. Even if Shen Man's family owns a car or a motorcycle, most people can't afford it.
The working class is still buying bicycles, and self-employed people can drive motorcycles.
The policeman said helplessly: "Madam, we will notify you if we find her."
After the police left, everyone dispersed.
"Hey, there are too many people stealing things now. How could they be so blatant before?"
"It's all because of the lack of jobs. Look at these high school graduates, they are falling one after another. There are no jobs."
"That's right, there's nothing we can do about it."
Hearing the comments from people around him, Shen Man sighed. There are too few jobs today, and there are too many young people, which can be considered a growth in population.
But what makes Shen Man most emotional is that if there are more private enterprises in Jicheng, some employment problems may be solved.
But without a formal establishment, it is difficult to change old ideas.
She turned around and drove away from here and came to the blanket factory.
In the office, Gu Chen was talking to someone about the renovation of the factory building. When he saw Shen Man coming, he asked someone to go back first.
"Here you go, have you eaten?" Gu Chen raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already one o'clock.
"I've eaten for a long time, haven't you eaten yet?" Seeing that he didn't eat like this, Shen Man went straight to the phone to call the cafeteria.
Ask someone to bring you two dishes. This is a good factory. You can do whatever you want.
Gu Chen sat down to take a rest and asked, "When are you going to bring the machine over?"
There are twenty-five machines in the space, which are good things to increase productivity.
Shen Man replied: "Just this afternoon, I'll go see Deputy Factory Director Ma later."
"Okay." Gu Chen said nothing and waited for the food to be delivered.
When I arrived at Ma Yueru's place, she was writing with her head down.
Hearing the knock on the door, Ma Yueru looked up and said with a smile: "Director Gu said this morning that you would come today. Can you have a glass of water?"
"No need to bother." Shen Man asked her to sit down and continued: "Our factory is going to expand production, and this time I brought back twenty-five machines."
"Really?" Ma Yueru was very surprised and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, our Jicheng newspaper wants to interview you. They told me a few days ago, but you were not in Jicheng at the time, so I told them to wait until you come back to contact me."
Interview?
Shen Man was a little surprised, but felt that it was expected.
After all, my blanket factory is already the largest private enterprise in Jicheng.
Now with the addition of twenty-five machines, it is considered the largest private factory in the entire Northeast.
"I understand, let them come tomorrow." She agreed.
This can also be regarded as a publicity opportunity for the blanket factory, and there is another very important thing.
Ma Yueru nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll call them soon."
After saying this, Shen Man asked about the recent situation in the factory.
In fact, it's nothing wrong at all. After all, the machine is new and some of the workers are experienced workers with blanket technology.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Speaking of this, Ma Yueru said with some embarrassment: "I don't play much role here. It's really not enough for you to pay me so much money a month. Just do it like an old state-owned factory."
Nowadays, the wages in Shen Man's factory are more than twice as high as those in state-owned factories. Including overtime pay, ordinary workers can get a salary of more than 100 a month, and those who work harder can get more than 200.
For a position like Ma Yueru's, the monthly minimum salary is RMB 300, which is considered a profit for the factory, and the monthly bonus is RMB 30.
Such a salary is equivalent to a good job.
It's higher than other people's wages.
Shen Man said with a smile: "Auntie, why are you so outspoken? Don't you think other people's wages are high? Our factory has good profits, so it's normal to give more wages. If you can't make so much money, I can't give it either. .”
The price of factory-made blankets is now RMB 5. After all, they are exported products, so they have to use a separate account book.
Despite this, Ma Yueru also feels that the profit has been a lot.
"Okay, I will work hard in the future." She was grateful to Shen Man.
Not only did it bring me a decent job, but it also saved me the anxiety of retirement.
In fact, most people nowadays look down on private enterprises, but it is different when you become a cadre. The more money you can earn from a private enterprise is also a guarantee.
Shen Man thought of what he had encountered today, thought about it and asked, "Auntie, are there many unemployed young people in Jicheng?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yueru was stunned for a moment, then sighed and nodded: "Yes, your Uncle Jiang and the others are all having a headache now, but you also know that the establishment is a carrot and a pit. Many people are staring at it, But there’s only one pitfall.”
"Our lumber factory in Jicheng has hired dozens of temporary workers, but it can't solve many problems."
At present, the leaders are worried about this matter and there is no way to solve it.
Even if each factory provides dozens of temporary worker quotas, only a few hundred people will be helped to find jobs, and there are still hundreds more people waiting.
After understanding the situation, Shen Man went back first.
This matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Yes, she plans to use recruitment to solve the unemployment problem, but her factory can only recruit a thousand people at most. What about those who come back after graduation? It still can't be solved.
Thinking of this, Shen Man might as well pull the machine back first.
I found someone to go to the warehouse in the suburbs with me, and then brought the machine back.
Although it is a little more troublesome, at least it is safe and will not be discovered.
After returning, Gu Chen took her to the factory, pointed to the open space next to it and said, "I plan to build a warehouse here. It is different from the previous warehouse. I think it will mainly be based on safety issues."
His idea was very good. The previous warehouse had poor sealing, was prone to fire, and did not have the corresponding equipment.
