Zhang Wencheng stood in front of all the workers and said excitedly.
"Comrades, have you all received your wages?"
"Got it!"
The employees responded loudly.
After working for so many years, it was the first time that I saw my salary paid in full, and I also made up part of the salary arrears.
Although only a small part.
but......
Significant!
This means that they survived the darkest night and saw the dawn.
Dawn has finally arrived.
Zhang Wencheng's voice was choked up.
No one can understand his mood at this moment.
When Cao Weidong handed the factory over to him more than ten years ago, Zhenhua Energy Plant was still the leading enterprise in Tongquan City.
That was the most prosperous time for Zhenhua.
All young people in Tongquan City are proud to join Zhenhua.
But after the highlight, the city declined, and Zhenhua inevitably declined.
Especially after he was "voluntarily" retired and the new factory director took over, Zhang Wencheng watched helplessly as Zhenhua accelerated towards the ditch.
Zhang Wencheng wanted to stop it, but was powerless to stop it.
Until Zhenhua collapsed and employees were laid off, his heart was about to break.
This emotion is incomprehensible to others.
Fortunately, Cao Weidong came back at the critical moment.
In just one month, everything seemed to be back on track after injecting capital into factories on the verge of bankruptcy, exploring overseas markets, and taking back the oil and energy business.
Looking at all the employees present, Zhang Wencheng's eyes were moist and he was so choked up that it was difficult to speak.
Cao Weidong walked over, patted Zhang Wencheng on the shoulder, and made a little joke.
"Okay, let our Factory Director Zhang rest for a while, and I will say a few words next."
"I am Cao Weidong, many old employees should know me."
The employees in the audience immediately cheered.
"Old factory director! Old factory director!"
Cao Weidong waved his hand, suppressed the noise, and continued.
"I am a practical person and don't like to talk nonsense. Here I will say three things."
"First, give me half a year and I will settle all your previous unpaid wages and medical reimbursement expenses."
"Second, from now on, the factory will gradually restore the previous welfare policies."
"Third, everyone, work hard and I will help you make a fortune. For every worker in Zhenhua, I will let you live in your own house!"
boom!
The employees cheered again, and the sound shocked everyone!
With people's hearts united, Mount Tai will move. Cao Weidong looked at these employees and knew that Zhenhua was about to take off.
.......
This is just the beginning.
But it's a good start.
As Cao Weidong expected, Zhenhua entered the upward channel again.
The factory's biogas equipment shipments have steadily increased, and the performance generated by the oil business has also gradually increased.
However, at this time, the problem of Zhenhua’s insufficient production capacity was exposed.
Production is already somewhat insufficient for sales.
Under such circumstances, Cao Weidong prepared to upgrade Zhenhua's equipment, introduce advanced machinery where it was necessary, and improve production technology where it was necessary. At the same time, he convened the factory cadres to discuss the new overtime system.
Many cadres expressed concerns.
In the past few years since the storm, Zhenhua's production capacity has almost stagnated, so there is naturally no overtime, and the workers are used to living without overtime.
At this time, the overtime system was announced, and they were worried that it would trigger employees' plans.
Cao Weidong said sharply.
"Are the employees resisting overtime work? What they are resisting is that they are not paid for overtime work and cannot make money. As long as employees are guaranteed rest within a reasonable period of time and can actually get money, I believe no employee will refuse.
"
"But the situation in our factory is a bit complicated..."
The officer retorted.
"Some employees just want to be lazy and not work, and they have great resistance."
Cao Weidong asked back.
"Why do we still keep such employees?"
"this......."
The cadres hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Cao Weidong knows that in the era of state-owned enterprises, many employees came in through connections.
It is common for employees to have close relationships with each other.
There are even cases where several generations pass down the same position in the same factory.
The consequences of this are low work efficiency and overstaffing.
After turning into a private enterprise, these shortcomings will be improved one by one.
Cao Weidong doesn't mind raising wages to motivate his employees, but he cannot accept his employees continuing this bad culture.
"therefore......."
Cao Weidong slapped the table and made the final decision.
"We need a set of employee standards. Employees who do not meet the requirements will be transferred from their posts, their salaries adjusted or even fired. Of course, if there are any unpaid wages, we will first compensate them and then deal with them."
The factory cadre looked bitter.
"But in this case, it will be difficult for us to recruit new workers."
It's not easy to recruit people at this time.
Zhenhua Energy Plant is now a private enterprise, and in the minds of many people, it is still labeled as unstable and insecure.
If it weren't for the fact that the factory owed them wages, these talents would not choose to stay.
At least most people won't choose to stay.
Cao Weidong smiled and said: "What if we raise wages? There are many unemployed young people in the city."
According to the wage system after the reform, and based on the current efficiency of the factory, ordinary employees can earn at least 150 per month, plus scattered overtime work, at least 200 per month.
This salary is double the average salary in other state-owned enterprises in Tongquan City.
Cao Weidong is not worried that no one will come.
"Of course, we still need to grasp the order. First, issue employee standards and codes of conduct, clarify employees' rights, obligations and various welfare guarantees, compile them into a book and send them to each employee. After that, we will issue an overtime system and adjust the factory building
Process planning.”
"If there is any further objection, we will follow the employee standard manual."
Cadres, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally everyone nodded unanimously and agreed to this plan.
.......
Next is a meeting to discuss company systems.
This meeting lasted for a week.
After rigorous discussions with factory officials, the newly released employee handbook covers all aspects, and compared with other state-owned factories at the same time, the treatment is generous.
So after the emergency batch printing was completed, the employee handbook was distributed to each employee and employees were organized to study it.
A week later, the factory announced a new overtime system and a new construction schedule.
As expected, workers' attitudes were polarized.
Some workers are eager to earn more money by working overtime.
After all, the New Year is just around the corner, and the most important thing is to make more money to buy New Year goods.
Moreover, the overtime hours are not long and are within their acceptable range.
But some workers began to complain.
These people are just here to eat and wait to die.
They think the current situation is fine, so they are very resistant to the new system.
These people joined forces, got together, and ran to the front of the office to protest.
Zhang Wencheng sent cadres to come forward and carefully explain the reasons for the overtime system, but these employees refused to listen and said that if their demands were not met, they would go on strike and file a complaint in the compound.
Cao Weidong understood the situation and said calmly.
"We are a private enterprise, unlike state-owned enterprises. Since some employees do not accept the company's arrangements, we should handle them according to the content in the employee handbook."
