Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

It turns out that this reward is really good. As long as the workers are willing to work overtime, they can get almost double salary a month.

In addition, advanced individuals will be given practical information directly, and will be rewarded with bicycle tickets and 100 yuan in cash.

There are also many rewards for advanced teams. Unlike before when they would just give out an enamel pot or washbasin as a trick, this time it’s all real money and bill rewards.

Finally, in terms of meals, it was clearly stated that not only would dinner be provided during overtime, but meals would also be improved twice a week.

Just tell me, which worker can resist the temptation of such a reward?

After reading it, Section Chief Yao couldn't help but ask, "Director, do we cadres get any rewards for working overtime?"

“You’re dreaming. Let me tell you, this time the reward is only for the workers. It’s only natural for the cadres to take the lead. You should make it clear when you publicize it.

If any cadre has any objections, he can write a report and I can approve him to go to the workshop and guarantee that he will receive a full reward."

After hearing what Sun Zhengguo said, Section Chief Yao smiled awkwardly.

Although this suggestion sounds good, I believe no cadre would do this unless they are stupid.

……

At noon, when the workers of the branch factory were having lunch, they saw many people from the Propaganda Department posting various slogans.

Every time they put one up, someone would follow and recite it.

“We will work together to achieve our March goals.”

"We will unite as one, fight for 100 days, unite as one, and create greater glory."

"I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue. I will work hard for three months and contribute to the country."

……

When the workers saw these slogans, they were not moved at all and just continued doing their work!

But while they were eating, the loud radio came on. First, a red song was played as usual, and then the content of the program made people completely unable to sit still.

"What? A 100-day production plan? There's even a reward."

When they heard this, many workers put down their chopsticks and began to listen carefully, fearing that they would miss any details.

It was not until the broadcast was repeated several times that the workers were sure they had heard it correctly and then the canteens started to go into an uproar.

"Oh my god! Is this fake news? Is the reward really that high?"

"Come on! The broadcast clearly stated it. Who dares to joke? Otherwise, who can bear the wrath of more than 20,000 workers?"

……

At this time, a worker team leader listened to the broadcast. He looked around first, then lowered his voice and spoke to the workers in the same group.

"Everyone, hurry up and eat. Don't make any noise. After you finish eating, go work overtime. Let's strive to get first place in the team."

The other workers understood what he said immediately and just kept eating. After they finished eating, they didn't say much. They just quickly washed their lunch boxes and returned to the workshop.

It wasn't until about ten minutes after they left that someone came back.

"Oh no, Chen Jianghe is playing dirty tricks. They must have gone to work overtime. We should leave quickly. We can't let them leave us behind."

This remark woke people up from their dreams. Many workers who were resting just now went out one after another after hearing this.

So, starting from the afternoon, the workers were like people who had been given a shot of chicken blood. They were not afraid of hardship or fatigue. They even jogged to the toilet and worked very enthusiastically.

So much so that on the weekend two days later, no one took a break and continued to work overtime.

Of course, if the workers work overtime, the cadres will certainly not be able to escape. Even if there is no overtime pay, they cannot be the bad example.

Sun Zhengguo was of course very satisfied to see this situation, but he still explained that the quality must be guaranteed.

……

Time passed quickly and a month went by in the blink of an eye. During this period, although the workers were a little tired, their achievements were very remarkable.

The North and South branches produced nearly 10 pagers in the past month.

Combined with the previous 3 units, sales in Hong Kong Island have finally slowed down a little.

The total sales of this batch of pagers was as high as 4 million Hong Kong dollars, which is nearly 5500 million US dollars when converted into US dollars.

Such a perfect result moved the higher-ups, and several bigwigs sent congratulatory messages one after another.

In addition, two interesting things happened during the sales process.

The first thing is that when we first started selling, everyone paid one year’s service fee, and now this has become an unwritten rule.

If you want to buy a pager, you have to pay a minimum one-year service fee, otherwise we won’t sell it to you.

The second thing is that because the pager always makes a beeping sound when it receives a message, Hong Kong people gave it an affectionate name, called BP machine.

After Sun Zhengguo learned about this, he just smiled faintly. He didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, he still called it by this crappy name.

That day, he was looking at a report in the office when Zhou Weimin walked in with a list in his hand.

"Director, this is the list you asked me to compile. Please take a look."

Sun Zhengguo took the list, took a quick glance at it, and then asked a question.

"Is there anything fishy about this list? I don't want anyone on it to do something tricky. Otherwise, even if I can let him off, the workers won't let him off either."

"Director, please rest assured that I have checked the list many times and it is absolutely true. There is no falsehood in it."

Seeing Zhou Weimin's confidence, Sun Zhengguo picked up the pen, signed his name on the back, and handed it back to him.

"Wei Min, there's no need to delay this reward. During lunch, use the loudspeaker to tell the people on the list to go directly to the finance department to claim their rewards."

"Ok."

After talking about the reward, Sun Zhengguo continued to ask, "By the way, the color TV production line has been debugged a long time ago. How many main screens can be produced in a day now?"

"About a thousand a day! We definitely don't need that much right now. Director, how about we produce color TVs?"

After hearing Zhou Weimin's wild idea, Sun Zhengguo immediately rejected it.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to produce color TVs, but once the game consoles go on sale, this amount can only be used for his own use.

……

At noon, in the cafeteria of the institute's branch, when everyone was busy getting their meals, the radio suddenly sounded.

Now I am going to announce a notice: "Attention, fellow workers! Attention, fellow workers!

In the recent 100-day competition held in our factory, the advanced individuals include: Chen Jianghe, Huang Aiguo, Zhang Jianshe...

The advanced teams include Li Dong's team, Chen Jianghe's team, Jiang Dongmei's team, ...

Comrades whose names are read above, please go to the Finance Department as soon as possible to receive your rewards.

The prizes for outstanding individuals include 100 yuan in cash and a bicycle ticket.

The prize for the advanced team is 20 yuan per person, plus two kilograms of meat coupons and five kilograms of grain coupons.

I hope all workers will take them as examples, learn from their spirit of not fearing hardship and fatigue, and strive to make greater contributions to society."

……

The radio was still repeating the message, but the workers were already in an uproar.

"Chen Jianghe is such a cunning guy. He won two awards by himself. No, he must treat us."

"Yes, yes, Chen Jianghe must treat us. Oh! No, where are they?"

……

While this group of familiar workers were still looking for someone, Chen Jianghe had already run to the Finance Department and happily received the reward.

Then he didn't go back to the cafeteria. He quickly ate a few bites and went back to the workshop to work overtime.

Therefore, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. It is hard for people like Chen Jianghe not to win awards.
