Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Gao Hongda took everyone under the shade of a tree. He Shengnan took out mineral water from the car and gave it to everyone. The workers took the mineral water, but they held it in their hands and were reluctant to drink it. It was sad to see it.

"Brothers and sisters, I would like to ask if all the workers in our factory are in the same situation? Is it useful for you to make such a fuss?"

Wang Donglai was worried that the workers were worried, so he quickly explained: "This is the boss Gao who rents our factory and has nothing to do with us. Don't be afraid, just say whatever you want!"

The seven workers started chatting instantly. One male worker said: "We have worked in this factory for two lifetimes. This factory has also been prosperous. In recent years, I don't know what has happened. It has been said that it is losing money, and wages are often in arrears." Just default. At least we can still have an income to support the family. Now that we are fine, the government and workers are asking us to close down. How will our family live in the future? In the past two years, we have been relying on the pension of the elderly at home. support."

Gao Hongda asked in confusion: "Didn't the government tell you how to resettle you?"

A female worker said angrily: "Don't mention the government. A leader in the factory revealed that the government only provides job placement positions for established managers. We workers have nothing, so we can just get out!"

Gao Hongda continued to ask: "Did you say it in a document or in a meeting?"

The female worker responded mysteriously: "It's the inside information we got. The factory leaders secretly told us and asked us to come together to make trouble."

Gao Hongda and Wang Donglai looked at each other. Wang Donglai shook his head and said, "Isn't that right? According to the information I got, a boss wants to buy our factory. The condition is that only our workers will be left and no managers will be left. Is your information inaccurate?" "

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the workers' faces, Gao Hongda continued to ask: "What is your current salary? I also heard that the new boss will increase the workers' wages."

Another female worker replied: "Our salary ranges from 800 to 1 yuan. Excluding social security, it is less than 1 yuan per month. Fortunately, we live in a large courtyard. Don't rent a house, otherwise we will not be able to survive." .”

Gao Hongda shook his head and clicked his tongue and said with great regret: "It's really too little. The consumption in the capital is so high. It's too difficult to feed another child! I heard that after the new boss bought the factory, he directly doubled the wages of the workers. Starting at 1500.”

Several workers who had looked puzzled just now looked extremely excited. Someone raised his voice and said, "Is this fucking factory lying to people? Who is telling the truth and who is lying?"

Gao Hongda said seriously: "I really know the boss who bought this factory. We talked about this when we had dinner together. The conditions he proposed to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission were to retain the existing workers and not to eat freeloaders. But in the office building Those gentlemen who refused to agree, especially a man surnamed Huang who seems to be the director of your factory, did not agree with it. They said that it didn’t matter whether the workers lived or died. We must ensure the placement of administrative staff first. Don’t believe me, I I just came here to rent two factories. Guess what? That guy surnamed Huang still insisted on giving us union personnel. You think, what use do I need from these wastes? Even if I raise a few pigs, I won’t be able to pay for the New Year. If they can be killed and eaten, I will raise them and they can do nothing but cause trouble for us!"

Some workers echoed, "Yes, yes, the people in this union are the most indifferent to human affairs. Apart from distributing gloves to us once a month, they don't do anything else! They either play cards or drink alcohol every day."

Wang Donglai said sadly: "As for the workers, we have all been taken advantage of by the leaders of the factory! The last thing they want is for the factory to go bankrupt. Once it goes bankrupt, they will have nowhere to go, so they trick us workers into causing trouble." , even if things get serious, it is us who bear the responsibility, and they have no responsibility at all! If you think about it, it is actually good for us if the factory goes bankrupt. The salary is doubled, comrades! And it still increases every year. Salary! What are you thinking about? Are you stupid?"

After such a round of deception, the seven workers looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. Gao Hongda took advantage of the situation and continued to make more cuts: "Look, the troublemakers are all workers. Who are the administrative staff in the factory? One of them is here?" None! They have sold you a long time ago, and you are stupid enough to check the money for them! I also run an electronics factory, how can I still get a salary of 1500 a month? My workers are also Starting at [-], plus piece-rate wages and bonuses, five insurances and one housing fund are also quite a lot, and the benefits are better than those in state-owned enterprises!"

One of the female workers asked tentatively: "Can we go to work in your workshop?"

Gao Hongda said with a look of embarrassment: "You are all experienced workers, and I want to use them too, but your factory leaders won't let you go. Didn't they say that a group of trade union workers must be hired? Now we are in the process of hiring them." We are in a stalemate. Actually, I think that as long as your factory goes bankrupt and is run by another owner, your wages will immediately double. Then my two workshops and your factory can form a joint venture. Without this If you help the shit-stirring stick make trouble, your life will definitely be easier!"

An older male worker said with some confusion: "When we were young, we all said that capitalists were evil. They oppressed workers and exploited their surplus value..."

He Shengnan waved his hand and interrupted him very impatiently and said: "It has been more than 20 years since the reform and opening up. Why haven't our minds been liberated yet? Your state-owned enterprise is so good. The monthly salary of 800 yuan is still half a year in arrears. Our private enterprise is No way. We can only get wages once a month, bonuses only once a quarter, and you have to get double overtime pay for overtime work. It’s really difficult for us workers in the private sector!" He Shengnan’s words became more and more sour, which made him feel uncomfortable just now. The male worker was ashamed.

Gao Hongda pretended to remember something, clapped his hands and said, "Don't you think we have nothing to do? What does this have to do with us? We are still here in a hurry to get angry. We really eat carrots and worry less!"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to get in the car and leave. Two workers quickly grabbed him and begged him: "Boss, I see that you are a good person. You are educated and knowledgeable. Please help us come up with ideas. This What should we do?"

Gao Hongda sighed heavily: "We are all workers, and I really can't bear to see you all being deceived. I can only give you some advice, and I can't help you with anything else!"

One of the workers quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one for Gao Hongda. It cost two or three yuan a pack. Gao Hongda didn't mind it, so he took it and put it in his mouth. Another worker quickly smoked one. Light the lighter for him.

The smell of the cigarette was really not good, so Gao Hongda pretended not to dislike it at all, and deliberately took a deep breath, hoping to get closer to the workers.
