Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Welfare benefits for the supervisor?" Gerihi looked at Wang Chunyang: "What's the use of this kind of factory director?"

"The use is great. Our automobile factory will definitely have good development in the future, and its profitability will also be very strong. Employees can receive some welfare benefits every day they go to work. These welfare benefits definitely need a dedicated factory director to purchase. Whether it's fruits or meat, or other living supplies, there must be someone to manage them," Wang Chongyang said. "That's how Tianqi is. Every day employees go to work, they have to bring a bag to bring things back with them."

Wang Chongyang frowned: "Employee benefits are not distributed like this. We also have reward measures, but these rewards must have a reason. Some people save production materials for the factory, and some people improve the technology for the factory. These can be issued as rewards. Ordinary employees already receive wages for working normally. Why should they be given welfare benefits every day? This can only cultivate the idea of getting something for nothing."

"Then how can employees have a sense of pride and honor? How can they reflect the superiority of being a worker?" Wang Chunyang asked.

"Of course, it is reflected in the salary. Our factory will implement a structural wage system. Workers' wages will rise and fall with the extension of seniority, changes in positions, and changes in work results, fluctuating once every two months."

Everyone present was surprised: "Fluctuating once every two months? Are you kidding me? If you do this, won't the factory be in chaos?"

"Yes, our automobile factory must be stable. When employees enter the factory, the salary is what it is, and it cannot be changed casually."

These people obviously cannot accept the new system.

"I am the factory director, and what I say counts," Gerihi said. "I have noticed that some factories have all kinds of complicated and useless departments. When these people come to work in the factory, they spend the day with a cup of tea and a newspaper. My factory will never allow such a phenomenon to occur! What propaganda department, what welfare department, we will cut off all these departments that are useless for production in our factory! In our factory, except for financial personnel who can sit in the office, everyone else needs to be on the production line!"

Qin Yang was very satisfied on the side. Did you see that? Our foreign friend is very helpful and can see the drawbacks of domestic enterprises at a glance, and then carry out drastic reforms!

The competitiveness of state-owned enterprises is getting worse and worse. After the 1990s, more than half of state-owned enterprises were in a state of loss. Why? Isn't it because there are more people who are idle than people who are working?

This kind of situation must never happen in the new automobile factory!

"President Qin, this foreign friend has not figured out the situation in our country. I am afraid that his system will not be able to be implemented," a leader said to Qin Yang in a low voice.

"No, our domestic enterprises need to be reformed and need to break the stubborn diseases of the past," Qin Yang said. "Therefore, our Capital Agricultural Machinery Factory is establishing this new automobile factory, not only to introduce advanced technology, but also to introduce advanced management concepts, so that our automobile factory can become the pioneer of reform and the benchmark of reform. Leader Wang, I value your Tianjin's development zone and the courage to reform, so I set up the automobile factory here. If you want to make my automobile factory the same as other state-owned enterprises, then I would rather find a new site."

"No, no, of course we support the reform," Leader Wang quickly stated: "President Qin, don't worry, Tianjin will fully support you!"

"The old leader also attaches great importance to our factory and hopes to break the stubborn diseases of the past, establish a modern enterprise, and set a benchmark for our national heavy industry enterprises. I hope that all leaders will not hold our factory back."

"Don't worry, President Qin, if you encounter any resistance, just come to us. Whoever dares to reach out to your factory is tarnishing our development zone and tarnishing our Tianjin!"

The reform plan was proposed by Gerihi, and Qin Yang acted as the hands-off shopkeeper while fully supporting it. After explaining the importance to these local leaders, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to express their support. This matter was finally settled.

While the factory was being built in full swing, the recruitment of workers was also slowly starting.

Many people were looking at the newly established automobile factory with questioning eyes.

The geographical location is not close to the urban area, and there is nothing in the development zone. Who would go to such a desolate place? Moreover, after going there, no welfare benefits are given, and the salary fluctuates once every two months. Who would be willing to go?

Isn't the reason why everyone goes to work in a big factory to seek stability and leisure?

Countless people were slandering, and countless people were waiting to see a good show, but when the recruitment really started, there were countless people lining up.

"This time we are recruiting experienced masters," Zhang Chao led people to help maintain order, and also explained to these people: "After the recruitment, they will become the backbone of the factory! If you are a novice, don't line up and wait for us to recruit workers next year!"

"Although our factory is not a private enterprise, there is no iron rice bowl. After coming here, you have to work hard. Those who don't do well will be fired at any time. Think carefully before coming."

These words were simply driving people away, but no one left, and the queue was still increasing.

"We don't want an iron rice bowl. An iron rice bowl is for supporting idlers."

"That's right. If the factory is an iron rice bowl, and people come in just wanting to eat free food, how can the factory develop?"

"We are optimistic about the factory's prospects! Let's sign up first, even if we don't recruit now, let's register first. By the way, is the salary of ordinary workers in the factory eighty yuan?"

In 1983, the average salary was 40 yuan, and many people's salaries had not changed for many years. However, the salary of the workers recruited by the new factory opened by the Capital Agricultural Machinery Factory was 80 yuan, which was twice as high as the average salary. Of course, it could attract many people to come.

"Our factory implements a floating salary. If you don't do well, you may be suspended. After the suspension, you will only be given 0.45 yuan for living expenses per day, and you may even be kicked out. Our Factory Director Ge's money is not so easy to get."

"But I heard that there are rewards in the factory if you do well, right?"

"Of course, especially for rational improvement suggestions, the highest grade is 2,000 yuan at a time, but it depends on whether you have the ability to get it!"

"We have to work towards this goal!"

"That's right, we are here to work hard!"

"Are you here to make a lot of money?"

There was a burst of laughter in the queue.

The news spread quickly, and Wang Chunyang's expression became complicated after hearing it.

The impact of this system is quite large! Those idlers who are supported in the factory, of course, hope that the original system will continue, so that they can lie down and muddle through their days leisurely. However, those capable people in the factory will probably leave. This new automobile factory has given those who are willing to work hard a better future!

No need for qualifications, no need for connections, no need for favors, as long as you have the ability, technology, and are willing to endure hardship, you can double your money!
