Please Do Not Disturb My Cultivation
Chapter 205: Changshan Iron and Steel Works (Second Update)
As soon as I entered the door, I felt the heat blowing against my face. The Finance Department has changed offices since it gained financial power.
Now its office is the largest in the entire county hall, with more than 400 square meters, but there are at least 200 workstations in it, and the average workstation is only 2.1 square meters, and the aisles are so crowded that they can only walk sideways.
Every workstation is full of materials, and paper documents are everywhere.
Several large heaters are placed in the corner, and they are constantly emitting heat. Several people are still moving and adjusting the position of the heaters. It seems that they have just been installed.
Among the vast sea of people and books, Lin Wen saw Lao Xie running towards him at a glance. His obese body was interspersed in every gap, and he was as flexible as a strange species.
When Lao Xie broke through many obstacles and came to his side, Lin Wen raised his hand to stop his words.
"Let me ask you, how do you work overtime?"
Old Xie was taken aback, quickly restrained his joy, and said, "Not too much, not too much, and we only work 12 hours of overtime every day. We endure hardships and stand hard work..."
Lin Wen looked at him sternly: "What happened to the three girls just now?"
Old Xie was stunned: "They are weak, and they might not be used to the heating at the beginning. They have already been sent to the hospital. To be honest, their bodies are not strong enough. They have to be as strong as me to serve Sheriff Lin better..."
"you shut up!"
Lin Wen interrupted him.
If he came a minute later, the three girls would have been lost.
Not to mention the loss of a good karma to help, maybe there will be a bad karma.
However, Lin Wen also knew that this was not Lao Xie's fault, it was a work problem.
This is the problem of the world.
good!
Then I will change it.
Lin Wen said: "From now on, employees of any department of the County Hall shall not be allowed to work more than 36 hours of overtime per month, and the overtime wages shall be calculated at 150% of the original salary. If you need to work overtime for more than 36 hours, please apply to me."
Lao Xie froze for a moment: "Well, why is that, County Chief Lin? Am I doing well? With such a heavy workload in the Finance Department, I..."
Lin Wen said flatly: "Using overtime to cover up incompetence is the worst kind of leader."
"A top leader is a leader who can improve the efficiency of the team."
"He can enable his employees to complete heavy work within 8 hours, and then go home happily to recharge their batteries so that they can go to work in a more efficient state the next day, forming a virtuous circle."
"Incompetent leaders will only torture employees by working overtime and deducting money, forcing them to use infinite hours and ultra-low efficiency to complete their work."
"Then the next day employees come to work with less productivity and are forced to work longer overtime, creating a vicious cycle."
"Do you understand it?"
Lao Xie's face was dull, his nostrils were bigger than his mouth.
In the traditional cognition of the empire, a person who can make the department work overtime without spending money is a good boss, a good leader, and a good official, which is the embodiment of his ability, because it proves his control over the department.
Lao Xie has been working overtime crazily without paying overtime pay, just to prove his ability to Sheriff Lin silently.
Unexpectedly, in the mouth of Sheriff Lin, the ability he was proud of turned into a manifestation of incompetence.
For a while, he still couldn't accept the result of the overturned worldview: "But, but this..."
Lin Wen glanced at him: "If you don't change this thinking, I will change."
Lao Xie froze all of a sudden, he kept picking at his bald head, looking panicked.
Of course, Lin Wen also knew that it would be very difficult to reverse the ideas he had formed over the years in a short period of time, and the Finance Department was really busy.
He thought for a while and said, "You can recruit people or ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to second people to share the pressure. Don't just work overtime."
Seeing that Lao Xie was still panicked, he patted him on the shoulder again and opened his Qiqiao Linglong Heart.
Just listen to it say:
"Only such a leader is Lao Xie in my heart. This is what I expect from you, and it is also where you are better than Lao Lei."
All of a sudden, like blowing up a balloon, Lao Xie, who was originally sluggish, suddenly inflated, and his whole body was almost floating.
"I got it! I got it! So it's like this! I will definitely live up to your expectations. Sheriff Lin has sharp eyes, and my admiration for you is like..."
"alright."
Lin Wen interrupted him.
"Now report to me about the industry situation in Changshan County."
The enthusiastic old Xie immediately explained everything to him in detail.
It turns out that there is no industry in Changshan County. The only things that can be exported to make money are cotton, tobacco, and tea. The food grown is not enough to eat by ourselves.
As soon as the flood came, the three industries of cotton, tobacco, and tea were directly wiped out, and the three related enterprises also stopped production.
This is a local asset belonging to Changshan County. Once it is shut down, the industrial income of Changshan County will drop sharply.
Then there is the main loss-making project: Changshan Steel Plant.
This was an ambitious project introduced by the former county chief. Due to lack of funds and accidents, only a part of the factory was able to operate.
In addition, there is a breeding farm and a textile factory, both of which are super small factories with a monthly turnover of no more than 50,000.
Lin Wen wrote it down and asked, "Is there any organization in Changshan County that manages them?"
Lao Xie said: "Are you talking about the Imperial Assets Office? Yes, but the people inside have been arrested."
Lin Wen was silent for a while, and decided to go to Xia Xiaoxiang, because he seemed to have seen the Imperial Assets Office on Xia Xiaoxiang's list of officials.
After saying goodbye to the rejuvenated old Xie, Lin Wen found Xia Xiaoxiang who was buried in piles of documents in the official department. She raised her head, as if she was not happy to be interrupted at work, and she did not show her previous enchanting and approachable.
"What's your business? I'm very busy right now."
Lin Wen asked: "You are also responsible for the construction of the county government hall and the discipline of officials."
"right."
At work, Xia Xiaoxiang speaks and does things very concisely. While answering Lin Wen's words, she wrote down on a file:
All officials who have not worked at the bottom but commanded at the front will all enter the probationary period;
All officials who sit in the office and pat their chests and say how long I can finish the work ahead of schedule will all enter the probationary period;
All officials who only use task indicators and standard answers to guide their work will enter the inspection period;
"You add a labor law now."
Lin Wen said that he memorized the labor law of Changshan County that he had just created by himself without any reference.
Xia Xiaoxiang raised her head, her eyes were sparkling, and there was only a serious expression on her pretty face, which made people dare not insult her.
"What about heavy work?"
"When recruiting people, you can also work overtime appropriately, but overtime pay must be paid, and overtime work beyond the limit must be approved by me."
"Why don't officials get overtime pay?"
"They have a future and want to be officials. How can they do it if they don't work hard?"
Xia Xiaoxiang smiled: "You give real money to ordinary workers, and make money for officials. I have never seen anyone do this before."
"You see now."
Xia Xiaoxiang lowered her head again: "Okay."
"Also, who is in charge of the Imperial Capital Office now?"
"Zhao Pengyuan."
"good."
Lin Wen turned and left.
Xia Xiaoxiang looked at his receding back, thoughtful on her pretty and lovely face.
The Imperial Assets Office hadn't been listed in the County Hall yet, so Lin Wen directly asked Fang Weiwei to find him.
As the county chief's only secretary at present, since the duty of supervising Lao Xie was replaced by the security department, Fang Weiwei has nothing to do except occasionally sit on Lin Wen's lap.
Bored, she can only read some acting books every day, cry or laugh in front of the mirror, and practice her acting skills.
When Lin Wen finally returned to his county sheriff's office to arrange tasks for her, Fang Weiwei almost burst into joy.
Although it was just a simple job of finding someone, she was serious about it.
Zhao Pengyuan was inspecting the Changshan Iron and Steel Plant, and as soon as he heard that the county chief was looking for someone, he immediately dragged the factory director Zhang Xiaoda here.
Lin Wen didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "What's the situation in the steel plant, why is it losing money?"
Zhao Pengyuan has a cheeky face and Zhang Xiaoda has a big beard. Although they saw the legendary Sheriff Lin for the first time, they had heard about Lin Wen's murderous reputation for a long time, and they all bowed their heads in fear.
Zhao Pengyuan said: "Jun, Mr. Changshan Iron and Steel Works is small in scale. At the beginning, the funds were not enough. The iron factory was fully built, but the steel factory lacked some auxiliary facilities."
"The county is really out of money, but stopping is not an option. Sheriff Zhao summoned engineers to discuss and forced to start work. The first few weeks of construction were good, and some minor accidents were resolved, but a major accident occurred in the second month. More than half of the steel furnaces were cut off. The molten steel condensed into lumps, and all steel furnaces were scrapped."
"Now there is only one steel furnace that can be used, and the molten iron cannot be eaten."
"At that time, Commander Zhao had a big heart. The ironworks bought the best Xu's large blast furnace. Once the furnace was fed, it could not be stopped. It could run continuously for more than ten years. If it stopped once, it would change from a first-generation blast furnace to a second-generation blast furnace, and its efficiency would drop drastically."
"The iron-making blast furnace cannot be stopped, but the amount of molten iron is too large to feed the steel furnace. We can only reduce the blast furnace feed rate, but the efficiency of the blast furnace is very low. Now the price of coke has risen again, which has caused us huge losses."
Lin Wen asked, "Why don't you buy a new steel furnace?"
The factory manager Zhang Xiaoda replied in a low voice: "They told us to wait, wait, we will buy it, but we have been waiting for a long time, until County Chief Zhao has been transferred, and there is no news..."
As he said that, he actually started to cry, and the tears fell into his beard.
"It's been a year, a whole year. There are more than 2,000 people in our Changshan Iron and Steel Plant. We built it with such high spirits. We thought that we would end the poverty and backwardness of Changshan County. In the end, we lost money for a whole year. Everyone is starving to death!"
"Sheriff Lin, think of a way."
Lin Wen didn't speak, he decided to go to see if the factory had salvage value first.
Save it if you have one.
If not forget it.
In Lin Wen's plan, steelmaking is obviously uneconomical if he wants to make a lot of money.
Because this is a basic product, unless a steel group with an annual output of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of tons is established, the profit will not be very high.
But Changshan County has not yet established such a large enterprise with that capital.
What Lin Wen really wants to do is some low-cost, high-value-added and high-profit technological products. The overall technological level of the empire is relatively backward, and some industries are relatively advanced, such as biotechnology, but some industries are very backward, such as mobile communications and nuclear industry.
According to Lin Wen's knowledge, there are thousands of ways to make a fortune, robbery, fraud, plunder, embezzlement and bribery, and learning twists are just one of them, and there are more and better choices.
The key is time cost and management cost.
Lin Wen doesn't like to make things too complicated in the physical world and involve too much.
Because these are mundane tasks that he dislikes very much, and they will pollute his Dao heart.
Therefore, his philosophy has always been that the simpler the better, the more violent the better, the less involved the better, and the sooner he can reincarnate perfectly, the better.
