The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen went to Xiaofang's room and moved Xiao Zhao's urn and portrait back to his room. Xiaofang wouldn't be back next year anyway, and He Hongmei was in Hangzhou now and no longer lived here.

"Xiao Zhao, let's go back to the room." Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said.

Putting the urn on the bedside table, Zhang Chen picked up the towel and wiped it gently. While wiping, he talked to Xiao Zhao. He told him about the additional order from Target and that he wanted to return to the headquarters. He Dongmei and Ma Ya were worried about the agency franchise fee. They said, what should we do and what should our agents do?

The general agent collected half of the franchise fee for their agents, and the other half was handed over to the company. Of course, there was no problem with the company. When he decided to refund the franchise fee, Zhang Chen had already included this half and wanted to refund it. The problem with second- and third-level agents is that there are still half of them. If the general agents are asked to withdraw, many of them are unwilling to do so.

This is also what Zhang Chen thinks is the most difficult thing.

It can't be that half of their money has been returned, and half of the general agent's money has not been returned, and half of the things have been done, but the problem is still not solved. Moreover, even if they want to return the half they received, they don't know where to return it. It was collected through the general agent. If you want to return it, they still have to return it through the general agent.

Zhao Jingjing reminded Zhang Chen that this cannot be done, otherwise we would refund half of the franchise fee to the general agent. They did not continue and withheld the half of the money. We have spent money and nothing has changed.

Zhang Chen felt that what Zhao Jingjing said made sense. If so, this matter really couldn't be done.

This is a delay.

The problem is that now that Target’s additional orders have been placed, they must reduce the exchange rate. If it cannot be reduced, the factory’s production capacity cannot be released. If they want to complete the order, they must increase equipment and Workers, on the one hand, there are no empty workshops in the factory now. The cost of labor is also getting higher and higher, and they don’t want to add more people.

Especially when there is a lot of existing production capacity and new waste is constantly being generated.

The increase in labor costs is not only in wages themselves, but also in many other places. The most troublesome thing in factories now is signing labor contracts. The labor contracts seem to be very high-end and are designed to protect workers, but they are exactly the same. The last thing workers want to sign is that every time a new group of workers comes, the biggest headache for them is how to persuade them to sign a labor contract.

The reason is very simple. After signing a labor contract, you have to pay social security. In addition to the large increase in expenses for the unit, individual employees also have to withhold a part of their monthly wages. This is the part that workers think It's a scam.

At that time, social security was not connected to the Internet across the country. If you paid it in Zhejiang, it would be useless when you returned to Anhui, and you could not even see a doctor. What most criticized the workers was that the social security must be paid continuously and could not be enjoyed until the end of the year. And workers We go out to work, who doesn’t want to take a break?

It is normal to work for half a year and take a few months off every year. It is also normal to work outside for a few years, then go back home to build a house or something, and stay for a year and a half.

When he is at work, his salary can be deducted. If he does not work, he must make up for the part paid by his original employer. Otherwise, it will be interrupted and his salary will be gone. How can he make up for it? Should you use your little savings to pay for social security?

There are many more. When he came out to work, he was already in his fifties. You asked him to pay for fifteen years before he could enjoy it. The workers scolded me and asked me to hand it over to the coffin?

What's more important is that at that time, there were very few factories that actually signed labor contracts and paid social security. Not to mention that it would be interrupted when he returned. He just stopped working in Zhang Chen's factory and it would be interrupted when he changed factories.

Zhang Chen also felt that this was a plan devised by some idiot. Why is it so complicated to interrupt and make up payments? Why can't we pay more and benefit more, and pay less and benefit less? Even if he only pays for three months, when he reaches retirement age, you can just let him enjoy one or two yuan a month. Anyway, he can enjoy as much as he pays. Isn't this reasonable?

The increase in labor costs is due to the increase in social security and the increase in wages themselves. The wages of workers in Xiasha now have more than doubled compared to when they were in Sanbao.

While wages have increased, living conditions have also improved. Factory workers are provided with food and accommodation. Now prices are rising rapidly, but the food in their employee canteens is still improving. The workers' daily labor intensity is so high. , the food is not good, how to increase their appetite? If you don't eat well, how can you have the strength to work?

The weather in Hangzhou is extremely hot in summer and freezing in winter. They not only installed air conditioners in the workshops and canteens, but also installed air conditioners in the employee dormitories. They also changed the original collective bathrooms into individual bathrooms. There is a separate bathroom in each room.

The reason is also very simple. If workers don’t even get a good rest, how will they have the strength to work?

All these changes have turned into costs. Although each item does not seem to increase much, considering that they are a factory with thousands of employees, every little increase on each person's head adds up to a big number.

So they are different from previous years. In the past few years, they were afraid that they would have too few workers. Now, what they are most afraid of is adding more workers.

The factory's production capacity has reached a time when it must be released. Zhang Chen and Xiao Li said that the stalemate cannot continue and the exchange rate must be lowered to 10%. In this way, the franchise fee of the general agent will be refunded to them to avoid them. Long-winded.

They decide for themselves whether to refund or not, as long as they have the ability to swallow up this exchange rate.

Zhao Jingjing and Zhang Chen said that there is another way. If the franchise fee of the general agent is refunded, the agents below them can refund it if they want, but they must contact us themselves and send back the franchise agreement, saying that we want Make a note on the agreement, otherwise, with so many franchise stores, we would not know which one has withdrawn and which has not.

With such a request, the general agent cannot hide it from us.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Li both thought this was a good idea.

Xiaoli said, don’t hold any meetings. A large group of people coming and making noise will only cause chaos. I think we can decide this matter ourselves. Anyway, the franchise fee has been refunded to them, and the general agent has nothing to do with it. You can say whatever they want to complain about, let them complain to me.

If you don't want to do something, then don't do it. We will develop another general agent with no franchise fee. Don't be too easy to find, grandma's.

The girls upstairs, following Xu Qiaoxin, now always say "grandma's" in their words, whether it's Xiao Li, Ge Ling, or Li Wei, no matter what happens, they always end up saying "grandma's".

Zhang Chen laughed and scolded them, "Why did grandma offend you?"

No, grandma is blessing us. You see, religious people don't always say "Amen" at the end. We love grandma, grandma. Xu Qiaoxin said.

"Xiao Zhao, you also know that those people will definitely have opinions, but there is no way. If we don't do it now, we will regret it in the future." Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said, "Don't worry, He Dongmei and Ma Ya, I will personally I called them and reassured them, and they understood."

"By the way, Xiao Zhao, Zhang Xiangbei has already gone to study with Awan. Awan promised that she would definitely let Zhang Xiangbei pass in one try. Even if she comes to teach in person, she also supports Zhang Xiangbei going to the United States. She said that even though I, a Taiwanese, have moved to the mainland, this person still has to move to survive.

"That's the truth when you think about it. Are you right? Xiao Zhao, our son will study in the United States in the future. What are we afraid of in the United States? There is also Xiaofang in the United States. As a man, he just needs to go to the dock more often. People who worship the mountains mature faster, don’t you think?

"At that time, we didn't have the conditions. We could only go as far as Hainan Island. If we could go to the United States, then maybe I wouldn't go to Haicheng, but Philadelphia or New York... Oh, if I go If we leave the United States, we will no longer know each other, and there will be no Zhang Xiangbei. Forget it, let’s just stick with Haicheng.”

Zhang Chen also told Xiao Zhao about his visit to Huijuan today. Zhang Chen said, I am very sad. Really, Xiao Zhao is also at a loss. Sometimes, I really don’t know what to do.

Hongmei always says that she is afraid. Actually, I am afraid too. I'm very afraid of getting married, Xiao Zhao.

When we were together, we never quarreled. Although I know now that you actually have a lot of grievances, we never quarreled, right? But when we are with other people, I don’t know. I'm very afraid that two people will be together and noisy all day long. How will that be different from being in hell? You don't have to do anything, you don't have to think about anything.

Just think about quarreling.

Hongmei, Huijuan, and Xiaozhao all have stubborn tempers. When Hongmei was still my apprentice, when the three of us were together, she was not so stubborn, but she and I have become closer. , why do I feel that she is not as easy to talk to as before, and the harmony between the two of us is not as harmonious as before.

This is especially true for Huijuan. She is now older than Brother Zhang and younger than Brother Zhang. She has a low eyebrow and looks good on the eyes. But I am not sure, Xiao Zhao, will she change again when we are really together? I am I have seen her trying to fight with others. We are a couple. One day she becomes cruel and wants to fight with me. How can I bear it?

Xiao Zhao, I'm really scared. I don't know why this is happening, and I don't know if everyone is like this. The physical distance is close, even to the negative distance, but the heart seems to be far away and becomes elusive. Yes, why doesn’t this happen when we are together?

Oh, Xiao Zhao, when a man and a woman are together, I sometimes think about it, just like a pair of chopsticks, the length and thickness of the two chopsticks must be the same, so that they can be used smoothly. I just make do with two different chopsticks. They can be used together, but they are just uncomfortable.

why are you laughing? Xiao Zhao, I know you are laughing. Do you want to say that I am actually much more difficult to deal with than I seem? Yes, I am just difficult to deal with. My temper is actually very weird. It seems that I only have You can handle it, but it's a pity that you are no longer here.

I really miss you, Xiao Zhao.
