Liu Lang led Jiang Botao and others into his office building. Even though the hall was very spacious, it was still a bit crowded with more than a hundred people arriving at once.
"In a moment, everyone will go to the conference room on the seventh floor. It is more spacious than here. Minister Jiang, there are too many people here. Let's go up together. But before that, I will introduce to you our living conditions!"
The seven-story office building is equipped with an elevator, but the elevator cannot accommodate so many people.
"Okay, then let's take a look at your living area first, and then go to the factory later!"
Jiang Botao smiled and nodded.
"There is a kitchen, canteen and activity room on the first floor. Come with me!"
Ten employees in the kitchen are busy preparing for lunch. Today we have chicken stewed with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork ribs, fried hairtail, tofu, scrambled eggs with green onions and fried beans, plus fried soybeans, spicy cabbage, pickled radish and green onions for dipping.
There are four kinds of pickles, and the staple food is rice, flower rolls and steamed buns.
"Ha, Liu Lang, your lunch is so sumptuous that I have a huge appetite!"
"Mr. Jiang, there is our recipe out there. Today there is no sweet and sour pork ribs, only four dishes and one soup, but we have guests coming, so of course we have to add some hard dishes!"
Liu Lang pointed to a blackboard at the door, with a recipe for the week posted on it.
"Let me see!"
Jiang Botao didn't pay attention to the recipe and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen. At this time, there were already many people standing around outside, sighing incessantly.
"Minister, the food provided by Norinco is really good!"
The director of Jinling Machine Tool Factory was so excited.
Monday is Sichuan white pork stewed with sauerkraut, stir-fried meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried dry tofu; Tuesday is stewed beef, fried fish, stir-fried beans and stir-fried shredded potatoes; Wednesday is boiled meat slices, fried mutton balls, preserved egg tofu and stir-fried potatoes.
Sauerkraut……….
Jiang Botao was dumbfounded when he saw it. From Monday to Sunday, there were four dishes and one soup every day, two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes. It was basically the same every day. This food was better than a restaurant, let alone any other food.
factory, not even the canteen of its Ministry of Industry can compare!
"Liu Lang, you didn't make this up just because we came here, did you?"
"Minister, do you think I will talk about unnecessary things just to curry favor with you?"
"Well, let alone me, even if Vice Premier Bai came here, you wouldn't do this. Wow, my eyes have been opened today. You are the only one who has this kind of food in our country. There is no other.
Yes! More than 200 people have to eat. The food expenses for a month must be tens of thousands of yuan. Do workers spend money to eat?"
Jiang Botao asked.
“Three meals a day are all free. Recently, my workers work overtime until 7pm, so they have to add a midnight snack at 7:30pm!”
"It's free, and you also get late night snacks? That's amazing, I admire you!"
Jiang Botao couldn't help but nod, but the others felt that Liu Lang was going too far.
Most factories do not have a staff canteen. Workers only have one lunch and have to bring their own meals, which are made from aluminum lunch boxes.
Usually, workers in a workshop will put the lunch boxes together and then move them to the boiler room. When noon is approaching, the workers in the boiler room will put these lunch boxes into the steam box of the boiler. This steam box is specially made for hot rice. The boiler
The steam heats up the rice very quickly.
Even if the factory has a canteen, workers still have to spend money to eat. Usually there are only two or three kinds of dishes, and a meal only costs about one yuan. It is enough to satisfy them.
A factory is a place for work, not a restaurant. It costs tens of thousands of yuan to feed the workers a month. This is a pure waste.
Some people stood in the distance and kept shaking their heads, puzzled by Liu Lang's "wasteful" behavior.
"Minister, it's winter now, so there aren't many dishes. When summer comes, our dishes will be more diverse and richer. If you come then, I'm sure you won't want to leave!"
Liu Lang joked.
"Liu Lang, it's enough for the workers to have enough to eat. There's no need for such luxury. We still have to save what we should save!"
Jiang Botao also felt that it was a bit "serious", so he couldn't help but persuade Liu Lang.
"Minister, my Norinco Group is different from other factories. My employees will be the best workers in the country in the future. The value of each of them cannot be measured by money. I cannot wait for so many precious talents.
Ensuring their health is the most basic principle. Not only must they do the best in diet, our Norinco Group will also organize a physical examination every year!”
"Is there still a physical examination?"
Jiang Botao was even more surprised. Cadres at or above the municipal level only had physical examinations once a year. The treatment of the workers was almost as good as that of municipal cadres. Liu Lang really regarded these workers as treasures.
"Okay, let's go to the cafeteria and have a look!"
Liu Lang led everyone through a double door, and their eyes suddenly opened up. This was a hall of more than 500 square meters, with rows of tables and chairs neatly placed inside.
“This canteen is really impressive and cleaner than the canteen in our Ministry of Industry!”
Jiang Botao couldn't help praising him.
“There’s also an activity room there!”
Liu Lang took everyone to another hall. There were ten table tennis tables, three billiard tables, and more than ten four-person tables where you could play poker together. There were also chess tables and checkers tables.
Tables, etc., the spacious space can accommodate seventy or eighty people at the same time.
"Isn't it too luxurious?"
Everyone began to shake their heads. If eating well can give you the strength to work, then engaging in so many entertainment activities is not doing your job properly.
"Minister, the workload of employees in my company is much greater than that of other companies. They have to learn more things every day. Over time, people will become very nervous. This is a place for everyone to relax. We also have a video room.
They are all video tapes bought from Hong Kong Island!”
Liu Lang knew what everyone was thinking and explained directly.
"I've never seen it before, I really haven't seen it before! You are setting a precedent!"
Jiang Botao didn't know what to say.
Everyone went to the second floor again. The second and third floors were staff dormitories. There were four beds in one room, and there was a desk next to each bed, which was very similar to a university dormitory.
The bedding on the bed was folded neatly, and every room was cleaned by someone, so it was very clean. Jiang Botao walked into a room casually and saw a few notebooks, pens, rulers, etc. placed on each table.
He felt very curious about the stationery, so he picked up a book and flipped through it. The book was filled with dense text, all about mechanical knowledge points.
"Liu Lang, do you usually teach them?"
"Of course, my main responsibility now is to teach them, first in theory, and then in practice. I want to train them into the best talents in the shortest possible time!"
"The shortest time? How long?"
"There is no end to learning. As long as they work here, they will continue to learn. However, the preliminary stage will be completed this year. In the second half of the year, I plan to officially start the research and development and production of machine tools!"
"Completed this year? That seems a bit short, right?"
