Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Zhu Guangcai, the head of the Labor and Personnel Department, was smiling all day long, like a wealthy local tycoon. Yes, he was a fat man, which was rare in this era (excluding those who were swollen due to hunger).

The technical and administrative leaders present here are generally over 30 years old, with Li Guohua being the only young one.

"Recently, the labor dispute has caused quite a stir, and it has even affected production. The factory committee must come up with a solution as soon as possible. Let's all speak out!" Wang Shaosheng said when he saw Li Guohua coming.

It's not easy for him to make a direct decision on this matter. Both sides of his hand are made of flesh and blood, and it would not be good to favor anyone.

"Then let me start with a few words. What our textile factory mainly does is production! And our workshop is the main force of production!

In order to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, the workers worked overtime every day to produce. Their sweat is visible to all. No one should suffer, but the workers should suffer." Jiao Zhiqiang, the production section chief, saw that no one spoke, so he started with a map cannon.

"Well, that makes sense. If people's morale is low, it will be hard to lead the team! Moreover, the number of workers in the workshop accounts for more than 90% of the total number of employees in the factory. They should be taken care of more!" Deputy Factory Director Jiang Changfu said calmly.

"I don't agree. Only the workers in your workshop are working hard. Does that mean the workers in other departments are not working hard? Without our sleepless construction day and night to ensure that everyone has nothing to worry about, you won't even have a place to sleep. How can you engage in production?" Liu Qingyi from the Infrastructure Department retorted.

"Well, the truth is there. The achievements are the result of everyone's joint efforts." Zheng Aimin lowered his head to look at the document and said it as if unintentionally.

As expected, they were all speaking in favor of their own people. Li Guohua felt like laughing.

"Well, we are all comrades, so don't say anything that will affect our unity!" Wang Shaosheng saw that everyone was a little angry and nodded.

"I think what Deputy Director Zheng said is right. A textile factory cannot be supported by one person or one department. The indicators given by the Ministry of Light Industry this time should be evenly distributed among all departments!" said Zhu Guangcai, the head of the Labor and Personnel Section, with a smile.

"Well, the average is good, and everyone has nothing to say!" Finance Chief Ma Yun nodded.

Strictly speaking, labor and finance are considered to be one department, but with different divisions of labor.

This time, the target given by the superior to the textile factory is 40%. There are only a few dozen people in their two departments together. If it is evenly distributed, everyone can get a salary increase. He is very calm.

"Deputy Director Hu, what do you think?" Wang Shaosheng asked.

Among the three deputy factory directors, only Hu Qiuxiang remained silent.

"There are few people in the department, but many in the workshop. It would definitely be unfair to the workers if the workers were divided equally. But if the workers are not divided equally, I'm afraid everyone will be very resentful!" Hu Qiuxiang said with a wry smile.

She had no good solution when faced with the office faction and the workshop faction.

"How about raising each person by half a level? Then 40% can become 80%! This will not only comply with the superiors' restrictions, but also satisfy more people!" said technical section chief Wang Li with a smile.

People in technical departments generally have higher salaries, but they are not as excited as the workers.

When everyone heard what he said, they rolled their eyes. He was just trying to smooth things over. They had never seen anyone so shameless.

It's easy for office workers to get a pay raise under other names, but what about the workshop workers? Second-level workers become second-level half-level workers? What the hell is a half-level raise?

"Chief Sun, what do you think?" Wang Shaosheng asked Sun Zhanwu.

Sun Zhanwu has personal connections in the ministry and is on a temporary basis at the textile factory.

"I think each department should take the initiative to do the following work, and then propose the number of quotas, and the factory will make the final decision. Those with more should be reduced, and those with less should be increased!" Sun Zhanwu said after thinking for a while.

Everyone shook their heads after hearing this. His method was not uncommon. It was just that the leaders pushed the pressure down layer by layer, making it difficult for the team leaders below to live their lives.

"Director, Guohua hasn't said anything yet!" Just when everyone was arguing again, Zhu Guang looked at Li Guohua and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Guohua thought to himself, I have something to say, MMP, do you want to hear it?

I am just a nobody, I just came here to join in the fun. I am doing my job well, why are you mentioning me?

"Guohua, tell me what you think!" Wang Shaosheng asked absentmindedly after taking a sip of tea.

The superiors gave a hint about this matter. We must come up with a plan today to let the textile factory set an example for the Ministry of Light Industry, but how can we do it ourselves?

"I have a few immature suggestions. If there is anything wrong, please help me correct them!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him and Wang Li and Zheng Aimin were still encouraging him, Li Guohua had no choice but to stand up.

"First, for couples with two or even three working spouses, only one person in each family can get a quota,"

"Secondly, we will not consider university graduates who are working, because they have only graduated for a few years and their salaries are already very high, even higher than many workers who have worked for seven or eight years."

“Third, we should carry out extensive “three-talk” activities: talk about politics, talk about ideas, and talk about contribution. Everyone must participate, regardless of whether they participate in the salary increase or not.

Everyone expressed their opinions and talked about working hard, working hard, working hard, and working hard. They explained their backward thinking and whether they had made any mistakes. They talked about their contributions to the factory, whether they had completed the working hours quota, whether the product quality met the standards, what technical research they had done, and what projects they had participated in.

The person who speaks the best and is recognized by everyone can get a salary increase."

"Finally, the quota is decided and the notice will be posted on the big blackboard at the factory gate for supervision by all factory employees. If anyone fails to meet the requirements, all factory workers are welcome to offer suggestions!" Li Guohua took a sip of tea and paused.

"Good! This is a good idea!" Wang Shaosheng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

Everyone applauded and encouraged Li Guohua to continue speaking.

The first two requirements are enough to eliminate half of the people in the factory, and they can't say anything.

The third point is to block those people who are not active in their work, are not familiar with the technology, and like to slack off.

The fourth point is the most powerful. People who do not have the best skills, work the hardest, or have good interpersonal relationships dare not be on the list at all. In addition, the leaders’ responsibilities are gone, so they are not afraid of anyone mentioning them in the future.

"In addition to the above four points, there are still many workers who are not good at speaking and can only do but not talk. Or workers who have large families and difficulties in life, we cannot ignore them. I suggest leaving some more indicators for them, or solving the problems left over from the past!" Li Guohua continued.

He had read all these in the newspaper before, and he didn't know if they were useful.

The reason for adding this last clause is that today’s workers are having a hard time and they need help; it is also to appease some honest people who only know how to get practical work done.

Honest people are very popular and can only do things but not talk.

Honest people generally don't get into trouble. Once they do, it's not considered a big deal, it's considered news. In this case, how can I continue to slack off in the textile factory?
