Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 592: Not enough people, so I have to make do with internships

Naravani reluctantly paid US$70 million to Fukang Engineering, and then tearfully misappropriated the remaining US$50 million in purchase money.

Of course, most of the 50 million US dollars was given to his cousin, and a small amount fell into Naravani's pocket.

The cousin also needs to take out a sum of money and open up the corresponding network of contacts, so that he can use the money with peace of mind.

It's just that once the door of greed is opened, it is difficult to close. Naravani has already tasted the sweetness. The first time this happened, there will be a second and third time, and he will become more and more greedy in the future.

Li Weidong transferred some of the orders, and the companies that got the orders owed Li Weidong a favor. The favor was not big, but it still had to be repaid. If he could help Li Weidong a small favor at a critical moment, Li Weidong would get his money back.

After the exhibition, Li Weidong did not stay abroad. He immediately returned to China to arrange production tasks. After all, it was a large order worth tens of millions of dollars, and the delivery time was relatively tight, so the production progress needed to be accelerated.

In the workshop, the workers were busy working.

"Our workers are very motivated. In the past few days, they have been working twelve hours a day!" the workshop director introduced with pride.

The income of workers in the manufacturing industry has always been linked to working hours, so workers in the manufacturing industry often do not resist working overtime because the more overtime they work, the more they earn.

Of course, this law only applies to Chinese workers. Foreign workers are not as hard-working as Chinese workers.

There is no overtime culture in Europe and the United States. It may be possible to work overtime occasionally, but it is definitely not possible to work overtime like Chinese workers do every day.

Working overtime is a taboo in Latin American countries. Commuting hours are absolutely fixed. If you say you have a day off today, it means you have a rest. No one will do it even if you are paid three times the overtime pay, and even more can't be compensated.

Not to mention Africans, let alone working overtime, it would be good to find people in the days after wages are paid.

In Asia and the Middle East, as long as wealthy people go to work, they are considered to be working overtime.

South Asians rely on words to work overtime. They say overtime is good, wonderful, and earn more overtime. I want to earn overtime pay and make my boss bankrupt. I really want them to work overtime and disappear one by one.

In Southeast Asian countries, overtime is an accident and strikes are normal. If you don't let them work overtime, they will find excuses to engage in various strikes and demand higher wages. If they are allowed to work overtime, the factory will stop operating and they will have fun with the union every day.

!

Probably only in East Asia, influenced by Chinese culture, will there be workers who work overtime diligently.

In the low-end intensive manufacturing industry, working overtime is simply to pile up production, which is equivalent to earning hard-earned money.

But in the mid- to high-end manufacturing industry, working overtime means that orders are in short supply, and companies will make huge profits.

Moreover, mid- to high-end manufacturing industries use skilled workers, and their overtime pay is much higher than that in labor-intensive industries. For example, after the Indian order that Li Weidong brought back this time was successfully completed, the bonuses for front-line workers were enough to buy two motorcycles.

Yes.

Therefore, when the order came, Fukang Engineering immediately started working overtime. The workers were also very conscious and worked twelve hours a day without any complaints.

After all, everyone is looking forward to completing this order and receiving a large bonus.

The workshop director was showing off his merits, but Li Shouyi, the deputy director in charge of production next to him, said: "Chairman, our manpower is actually still insufficient. Even though we work four hours of overtime every day, the time to complete the order is still a bit tight.

Now all the production capacity of the whole factory is concentrated on this batch of orders from India, and other production projects have basically stopped and can only be completed after this order is completed."

"Isn't the Human Resources Department recruiting new employees?" Li Weidong asked.

"We are hiring, and we are recruiting every year, but the number is not very large, and it is difficult to find key technical workers. In addition, the order is too large and comes too suddenly, so our production capacity cannot keep up in a short period of time," Li Shouyi continued.

Reporting.

Li Weidong nodded. Construction machinery companies mainly use skilled workers. Daily work in workshops such as stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly all require certain skills.

In later generations, as industrial automation has become more advanced, even those who do not have this kind of technology can still be qualified for these positions after a few months of training after arriving at the factory and knowing how to operate the machines.

However, in 1999, the degree of industrial automation of Chinese enterprises was not high, so much of the production work in these workshops needed to be completed manually, so professional and technical workers were needed to operate it.

In China, where vocational education is underdeveloped, it is relatively difficult to recruit professional technical workers. Technical schools provide very limited talents to the society every year, and the largest source of technical workers is laid-off workers from other companies.

Moreover, Qinghe is not an industrial city. Even in the era of planned economy, there were few mid-to-high-end manufacturing companies, and the number of skilled workers in the city was not large. Even after the wave of layoffs, those with skills in their hands

They all found their next homes quickly.

In recent years, Fukang Engineering has been recruiting people. As long as they have some skills, they will definitely be welcome, and they can still meet the normal production requirements.

But this time there were so many orders coming in that the manpower in the workshop was somewhat insufficient.

Although the production needs of this order from India can be met through overtime work, the normal production of other products will have to be temporarily suspended until the order from India is completed before it can be resumed.

"If we suspend the production of other products, it will affect our normal sales in the country. This is not good, and we may lose part of the market!" Li Weidong frowned and thought,

After a while, Li Weidong said: "Well, I'll find a way to temporarily transfer a group of interns. Some simple and odd jobs can be left to the interns. Just find a few experienced masters to keep an eye on them.

Already."

"Chairman, many positions in the workshop require some technical skills. Ordinary interns don't know anything. Not only are they useless after they come, they can easily cause safety accidents, which is a disservice." Li Shouyi said.

"Don't worry, the interns I transferred have all studied technology." Li Weidong paused and then said: "Don't forget that I have a technical school under me, which also teaches electric welding and lathe operations.

.

After a while, I called the technical school and asked them to send a group of students over to help us do some simple jobs first. Although they have not graduated, they are better than people who know nothing. Simple jobs should be done

If they are competent, let them learn through practice!”

"Chairman, you are so clever. This way we can not only solve our problem of insufficient personnel, but also get a large number of free labor and save a lot of expenses. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!" Li Shouyi quickly flattered us.

Li Weidong said: "Old Li, don't talk nonsense. I'm not Zhou Bapi. I asked them to come as interns, not to work for free. We can't exploit workers, so we have to pay intern wages during the internship. In addition,

You have to take care of food and shelter.

Although they use our resources for internships, as a large company like ours, there is no need to save money in such a place. If we criticize the interns harshly, we will not save much money, and it will not sound good if it is spread out, and it will damage the company's image.

In addition, I am also thinking about selecting some of the better ones among these interns to work directly in our factory after graduation, so I have to show the benefits of our factory so that we can retain them.

Later, you should inform each workshop not to be harsh on the interns when they arrive, let alone think that they are free labor. They should be kind to others and teach those who can teach more.

In addition, let the directors of each workshop pay attention to good seedlings, and talk to them in advance about joining the job after graduation, so as to keep all the outstanding students in our factory!"

…

When it comes time to hire people, the role of technical schools becomes apparent again.

Although students from these technical schools have not graduated yet, they have received some professional training and can do some simple jobs in factories.

Students with good understanding may be able to do some ordinary jobs if they learn more from their masters.

The addition of interns also liberates formal workers, who do not need to do simple tasks, which also greatly improves production efficiency.

It will take more than ten years for China's manufacturing industry to begin its transformation to automation, and until then, factories will still need a large number of workers.

These past ten years have also been a period of rapid development in China's manufacturing industry.

In the past ten years, although China has developed the world's number one manufacturing industry and has become the world's factory, the problem of lack of skilled workers has always existed.

Senior technicians have always been in short supply. Any senior technician is a treasure in the factory.

The gap between mid-level technicians and low-level technicians is also huge. Although among these, junior technicians will have longer working hours and higher labor intensity, and their wages may not be high, the factory still welcomes skilled workers.

Therefore, domestic vocational and technical training has been popular for more than ten years. Not only are there people learning to drive excavators, but there are also many people learning to cook pastry and beauty salons, such as the use of various machine tools, which are also popular majors in vocational technical schools.

Li Weidong is good at planning ahead. He invested in technical schools year after year, hoping that in the next ten years, technical schools could provide technical talents for his companies.

According to Li Weidong's original plan, this strategy would probably not be used until China joined the WTO. Unexpectedly, a large order from India made him use this chess piece in advance.

…

Li Tieniu originally planned to join the army, but he signed up but was not selected. So he went to a technical school to learn how to operate machine tools, which was also considered a skill in eating.

Among this group of colleges, Li Tieniu is not the smartest. Fortunately, he is relatively honest and is not lazy when studying. Therefore, after a series of theoretical studies, Li Tieniu finally entered the practical learning stage.

However, Li Tieniu had only touched the machine tool for a few days when he received a notice saying that he was going to the factory for an internship.

Li Tieniu was an honest boy, he didn't understand and didn't dare to ask, so he packed his luggage, got into a big white car inexplicably, and was then taken to the Fukang Engineering factory.

Then Li Tieniu was assigned to the workshop and followed a master named Zheng.

Master Zheng was responsible for five interns at the same time. These five people were brought to Master Zheng, stood in a row, and began to call their names.

"Li Tieniu!" Master Zheng called Li Tieniu's name.

"Arrived!" Li Tieniu replied quickly.

Master Zheng looked at Li Tieniu and asked, "What's wrong with your head? Why is there a bald patch? Is it a leprosy head?"

"There is no charge for haircuts in school, so I went and ended up getting shaved like this." Li Tieniu answered honestly.

"You can't shave like this without charging money! Are you using your head to practice?" Master Zheng asked with a smile.

Li Tieniu nodded awkwardly: "It's just because I practice, so I don't need money."

Master Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he figured out the key and muttered to himself: "What an honest boy."

There is a beauty and hairdressing major in the technical school, where haircuts are free. To put it bluntly, it is to train the beauty and hairdressing students.

If you are more lucky, you can meet a student who has learned more solidly, and you can get a more normal haircut; if you are less lucky, you can meet a less skilled student, and even if you have thick hair, you can get a shaved head.

Li Tieniu encountered the latter. He just wanted to shave his head, but ended up with a large bald head.

Master Zheng finished the roll call and said, "Starting from today, you will start your internship. It is said to be an internship, but in fact, you will be an apprentice with me!

If it were placed in the old society, being an apprentice was not something you could just do casually. You had to formally become a master, and you also had to give a apprenticeship ceremony. There was no wages during the apprenticeship period, and after you left the apprenticeship, you had to pay homage to the master for the first three years of wages.

It's a good time for you. You can learn a craft from me. You don't have to send apprenticeship gifts, and you can also get an internship salary. This was something you couldn't even think of before!

And if you do a good job, I can recommend you to the factory. After you graduate, you can come directly to work in the factory, which is equivalent to assigning jobs to you!

You know, these days even college students are not assigned jobs. If you go to a technical school and have the opportunity to be assigned a job, you are really lucky. So you must study hard, work hard, and try to stay!"

After listening to Master Zheng's introduction, Zhao Tieniu's eyes lit up with excitement.

Others have to pay to go to school, but he can still make money. This is a good thing that I have never heard of.

And if you do well, you will have the opportunity to stay in the factory, which is equivalent to being assigned a job, which should be a serious worker's treatment of 800 yuan!

A dozen years ago, working in a factory as a worker would have been a great job. At least you could get a city household registration and eat "national treasury food."

Nowadays, after experiencing the wave of layoffs, although workers are no longer valuable, for ordinary people with low education levels, working in factories as workers is still a very good way out.

Moreover, I heard that the efficiency of Fukang Project is quite good, and the workers’ treatment is also quite good.

Master Zheng said some encouraging words and then took the five apprentices to the cafeteria for dinner.

Then I saw the reincarnation of five starving ghosts!

"Eat slowly, everyone will fight with you, there is a lot of food in the cafeteria!" Master Zheng looked at the five people with sympathy and said, "Look, you are hungry, why don't you even get food in the technical school?

"

"It's not that we don't provide food, it's that the food here is so delicious!" Li Tieniu said vaguely, holding a chicken drumstick.

"Delicious? I don't think so! Maybe it's because I'm used to it!" Master Zheng said.

Li Tieniu replied: "Master, you don't know that the food we usually eat is either lacking in oil or salt, some of it is undercooked, and some of it is burnt! Sometimes the steamed buns are as hard as stones, and they irritate your teeth!"

"Then the chef in your school is too irresponsible!" Master Zheng turned around and thought, and then said, "That's not right, doesn't your school teach pasta cooking? Why don't you have a chef who can cook?"

"Master, it's because there are so many people cooking noodles here that we can't get good food!" Li Tieniu sighed helplessly, and then said: "The dishes cooked by the cooking students are all taken to the canteen and given to us.

have eaten!"

Master Zheng nodded suddenly: "Your school is quite good. It produces and sells its own food. At least it doesn't waste food."
