Chapter 341 There is an old family, if there is a treasure
"Did you know that our factory has been sold to a private owner?"
A piece of news spread like wildfire in Jinnan Chemical Plant. In just half a day, it had become a household name and had many opinions.
In the early 1990s, losses and production suspensions of state-owned enterprises were very common, but corporate bankruptcies, reorganizations, mergers, etc. were extremely rare. Although national policies do not exclude the merger of state-owned enterprises by private enterprises, it is not easy in practice. And
Not to mention that the turmoil in the late 1980s made some private entrepreneurs tremble. Even without such political worries, merging a state-owned enterprise is still a very troublesome matter. The cultural integration alone is enough to give private entrepreneurs a headache.
Precisely because there was no such precedent around, the employees in the factory had extremely complicated feelings regarding the merger of Jinnan Factory by a private enterprise.
The factory is not well managed and has suffered serious losses. It has reached the point where it is unable to pay wages in full. Every employee with some sense knows that the factory must change. If it does not change, there will be a dead end. Now there are people who are willing to pay to merge the factory. For the factory
It may not be a way out, so everyone has some expectations in their hearts.
However, at least nine out of ten employees are resistant to the merger of factories with private companies as the main body. After being the owner of a state-owned enterprise for a lifetime, it is difficult to change one's identity overnight to become an employee of a private enterprise.
Acceptable.
A few years ago, the factory carried out employment reform and changed the status of all on-the-job employees to "contract workers." At the time, everyone didn't feel anything at all, thinking that it was just a name change. Only now did everyone suddenly realize that they were
The iron rice bowl in your hands had already been replaced at that time. The so-called "contract labor" means that the workers and the factory are bound by a contract. Now they want to cancel the contract, what can you do?
"Damn it, the country just kicked us out. After decades of hard work, we returned to before liberation overnight, and now I have to work for the capitalists!"
"What a bullshit annexation. It's obviously the country trying to shed its burden, okay?"
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter who I work for, as long as someone pays me a salary."
"Pay wages, you think so. Do you know what a capitalist is? You didn't learn it when you were in school. Capitalists exploit us workers. Do you know what exploitation means?"
"No matter what it is called exploitation, I am not being exploited now, but I can only receive 50% of my salary a month. It is not as much as those workers in private enterprises earn."
"Oh, let's just leave it to fate..."
Various discussions are going on throughout the factory area, including some that can be defined as "reactionary". The workers don't understand any big principles. All they care about is their own livelihood. They hope to get enough money every month.
However, they are worried that private bosses will come and deprive them of the iron rice bowl they have always been proud of, even though this iron rice bowl has not contained any food for a long time.
In the large conference room of Jinnan Factory, a symposium for retired workers was being held at this time. More than 200 retired workers came and more than 100 people came, making the entire conference room full. Fortunately, everyone is a worker who knows each other well. Two people sat together.
You won’t feel any awkwardness with a stool, and you can even bring back some warm memories of the past.
"Masters, please be quiet. We are now having a meeting." Yu Kexiu stood at the end of the conference table and said loudly to everyone.
The bustling crowd in the room suddenly calmed down. Yu Kexiu's prestige in the factory was indeed not an exaggeration. These retired workers had all worked under Yu Kexiu and admired his ability and character, so they also
Very happy to cooperate with his work.
"First of all, let me introduce to you that this is Mr. Qin Hai, the chairman of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory in Anhe Province. You must have heard of it. Our factory is going to be restructured and turned into a private enterprise. Chairman Qin Hai will be
The chairman of our factory is here, and everyone welcomes him." Yu Kexiu pointed at Qin Hai who was sitting next to him and introduced him to everyone.
Amidst the sparse applause, Qin Hai stood up with a smile. He hugged his fists to everyone and said: "Masters, you don't have to be polite. I am with you, the factory director, as well as you, Section Chief Yu from the Technical Department, and Director Tao from the office.
, are all old friends. I came to Jinnan Chemical Plant to study a few years ago, and some of the masters sitting here may have been met by us before. This time, I was invited by the Jintang Municipal Government to come to help
The purpose of the restructuring of Jinnan Chemical Plant is to get Jinnan Plant out of trouble as soon as possible. In the future, all the work will require the strong cooperation of all the masters, and I would like to thank you all in advance."
Having said this, he bowed slightly to everyone, and received another burst of applause. Compared with the applause just now, this one seemed to be more enthusiastic. It was obvious that his confession made everyone feel a little goodwill.
After Qin Hai finished speaking, he sat down. Yu Kexiu looked at everyone and knew that everyone despised Qin Hai. The reason was very simple, that is, Qin Hai was too young, especially among these retired workers.
It seems that he is not much older than the grandchildren at home, so how can he have any respect for him.
Yu Kexiu smiled and said: "Before the meeting, let me announce something to everyone. Starting from this month, 100% of the wages of retired workers in our factory will be paid. It will not be delayed until next month at the latest.
All the retirement wages owed to everyone will be paid."
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was like a handful of salt sprinkled into a hot oil pan, and it exploded in an instant. Every retired worker’s eyes widened, and they asked Ke Xiu a lot of questions, lest they themselves
Got the wrong meaning.
"What? Director Yu, what did you say?"
"Less than, are you kidding us?"
"Great, let me calculate how much I can get at one time if my retirement salary is supplemented..."
"Masters, be quiet, be quiet." Yu Kexiu waved his hands desperately. This time, he finally calmed down the excited old people. For more than a year, everyone has forgotten to pay full retirement benefits.
What does it feel like to be paid? Even getting 50% or even 30% of their salary every month makes them secretly happy. Now Yu Kexiu actually said that from now on, he can pay his retirement salary in full, and he will also make up for the past arrears.
In part, this good news can simply be described as pie in the sky.
"Masters, what I just said is correct. Starting from this month, retired workers in our factory will be paid in full for their work hours. This is what Deputy Mayor Shen of the city government signed and pledged, and it will never be changed." Yu
Kexiu said.
"Director Yu, what's going on? We've gone to the city hall to make trouble in the past, but they didn't agree to pay us full wages after the trouble. How did these bastards change their temper this time?" Tian Jinxi, an old worker, asked loudly. .This old master was upright by nature, and he even called Shen Chuanming a bastard in front of him.
Yu Kexiu smiled slightly and said: "Master Tian, you asked a very good question. Let me tell you, our pension is exactly what Mr. Qin has won for us!"
"What, is this little... Mr. Qin?" Tian Jinxi pointed at Qin Hai and asked in surprise.
"That's right, that's Mr. Qin." Yu Kexiu said, and then he elaborated on the situation of Mr. Qin's negotiation with Shen Chuanming, omitting the part where he quarreled with Shen Chuanming. .According to him, the city originally planned to use the funds used by Mr. Qin to annex Jinnan Factory for other purposes. Mr. Qin argued hard and even threatened to withdraw capital, and finally forced the city government to agree to earmark the funds and use them for other purposes. This money becomes a wage guarantee for retired workers.
"This Shen Chuanming, I have known for a long time that he is not a good person. Why did he take away our factory's money?" Tian Jinxi cursed angrily. After cursing, he turned to Mr. Qin and raised a big Thumb said: "Mr. Xiao Qin, you have done a good job. On behalf of the retired workers of our factory, I miss you so much!"
"I don't dare to take it seriously, Master Tian. These retirement wages are originally owed to you by the country. I just spoke out and helped everyone keep this money." Qin Hai said humbly, with a hint of meaning in his words, but he also meant it. He took credit for his work in asking for wages for retired workers.
If Qin Hai wants to take over the Jinnan Factory, he must establish his own prestige. Winning the retired workers' wages from Shen Chuanming is originally his credit, and he will naturally not turn it down. As for the workers because of this Having resentment towards Shen Chuanming is something that Qin Hai can't handle. The situation introduced by Yu Kexiu was not distorted. Shen Chuanming's original thoughts were indeed a little sorry for the retired workers of Jinnan Factory.
Yu Kexiu said: "It is Mr. Qin's idea to call everyone to the meeting today. Mr. Qin said that we retired workers are the wealth of Jinnan Factory. If Jinnan Factory wants to get out of trouble, it must listen to everyone's opinions. Get everyone's help. Therefore, our meeting today is a Zhuge Liang meeting. I hope everyone can continue to carry forward the spirit of ownership and make suggestions for the future development of our factory."
"Director Yu, and...Mr. Qin, we are all old guys. We don't know anything about business. If we are asked to give advice, I am afraid we have found the wrong person?" A retired female worker named Ding Guifen hesitated. said.
"Yes, we are all workers. In the past, we only knew how to work, but we didn't know how to run a business. Director Yu, I think you should ask the cadres in the agency to give Mr. Qin and others some advice." Other workers also followed suit. echoed.
Qin Hai stood up, waved his hands to everyone, and said: "Masters, everyone is wrong. As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. You old workers know the situation of our Jinnan Factory best, so If we want to run the Jinnan factory well, your opinions are crucial. As for business management and product development, we will have dedicated personnel to handle it, so you don’t need to worry about it. Today I would like to invite you to discuss it. , that is, where is the problem of our Jinnan factory and what can be done to solve it." (To be continued...)
