Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chen Changan couldn't do what Aunt Feng asked. The quantity was too large, and the Huo family didn't care whether you could produce it or not, so they just set up the stall first.

Chen Changan said directly, "Aunt Feng, I'm afraid the pharmaceutical factory cannot produce the quantity you requested.

Do you know what I was doing before I answered the phone? I was in the workshop teaching the workers how to operate the machines.

The workers currently working in the workshop are not skilled in operating the machines, so Deputy Director Hou and I take turns to be teachers in the workshop.

Many workers have not received much training and do not even know many medicinal herbs. I only require each team to know one medicinal herb. "

Aunt Feng also sighed after hearing what Chen Changan said. She was able to make money, and foreign exchange, but the output could not keep up.

"Then how do you think the problem of production capacity can be solved? Did you encounter production capacity problems when you were in the motorcycle factory?"

Chen Changan replied, "This is different from the original motorcycle factory. With skilled workers and blueprints, what parts can't be produced?

But we are the first Chinese patent medicine pharmaceutical factory in the country and even in the world, and we can't transfer people from other places to help.

There was only one way to increase production. There were thousands of job applicants at the factory gate, and the pharmaceutical factory recruited them all at once.

After a simple training, they were divided into three teams and started working in three shifts.

One shift works eight hours, three shifts run around the clock, and the machines keep producing non-stop.

But there are also a few problems here. The first one is that there is definitely a difference between working during the day and working at night. Can there be some subsidies in terms of salary?

Another problem is, if one day, the market demand for quick-acting heart-saving pills is not so great and there is no need for so much production, how will these workers be relocated? "

Aunt Feng now understood that Chen Changan still had a way, but he had some concerns in his heart.

So he said, "These problems are not problems. Now I just want production. As for the workers' subsidies, you are the factory director, you decide for yourself.

The placement issue is not something that needs to be considered at this stage. I also believe that as the pharmaceutical factory continues to develop, it will be able to absorb it internally. "

Chen Changan nodded helplessly. Okay, since Aunt Feng is willing to give up power and cover for him, he will accompany Aunt Feng to have a big game.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Changan came to the gate and looked at the long queue. He first found Hou Mingjun.

Then he pulled Hou Mingjun aside and said, "The plan has changed. The sales of the quick-acting heart-saving pills have exploded overseas. The department requires us to go all out in production. As long as these people are not defective, we will recruit them all."

Hou Mingjun was shocked. There must be thousands of people outside the factory gate. Where would they be assigned if they were all recruited?

Hou Mingjun thought Chen Changan didn't understand the situation, so he reminded him, "Our factory can't accommodate so many people. There must be thousands of them."

Chen Changan nodded, indicating that he knew how many people there were, and then said, "There is no other way. After they are assigned, they will be given a simple training and directly arranged to work in three shifts.

The machines here are different from those in the motorcycle factory and are relatively simple. The two of us will work hard for two days. Once this group of people have learned how to use them, our pharmaceutical factory will no longer have to worry about lack of manpower. "

Hou Mingjun nodded. Since Chen Changan said so, Hou Mingjun turned around and did as Chen Changan said.

Not long after Chen Changan left, he heard cheers coming from behind him.

Chen Changan was thinking in his heart that it seemed that other medicines could be put on the agenda.

The news that the pharmaceutical factory recruited thousands of people in one day spread throughout the city in an instant.

Some people sighed, some regretted, and some envied. Even Jia Zhang heard the news that anyone who lined up at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory in the morning was accepted by the pharmaceutical factory.

Jia Zhang was so angry.

Then he said to Qin Huairu, "Tell me about yourself. When I asked you to line up, what did you say?

Now all those who lined up have been recruited. What do you think of you? Ah, you wasted such a good opportunity."

Qin Huairu knew she was in the wrong, so she stood by the wall with her head down, accepting Jia Zhang's scolding without saying a word.

Jia Zhang was really angry. Qin Huairu went to the pharmaceutical factory. The job at the steel mill was for Banggeng. Even if Banggeng was young, she could wait until he grew up. At worst, she could sell him off.

Nowadays, a regular worker position in a steel rolling mill can be sold for several hundred yuan.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang felt distressed, as if she had lost hundreds of dollars.

Looking at Qin Huairu's aggrieved look, he became even more angry.

If Qin Huairu hadn't been pregnant, Jia Zhang would have definitely given her a few beatings to vent her anger.

So he said to Qin Huairu fiercely, "When the old man comes back, I will ask him whether he has made an agreement with the steel mill. If he agrees, you will go to work at the steel mill tomorrow, and the pension I get will be reduced to five yuan per month. Do you understand?"

After seeing Qin Huairu nodded in agreement, Jia Zhangshi felt better.

Qin Huairu also knew that her mother-in-law didn't like her at the moment, so she quickly took the dirty clothes and ran to the sink to wash them.

Chen Changan and Hou Mingjun came back late because there were too many things to do and too few cadres.

The pharmaceutical factory was just starting out, and there were not enough people to fill many administrative positions, and Chen Changan didn't want to just randomly let anybody come to the factory.

By then, the pharmaceutical factory would be in a mess again. There was no other way, so Chen Changan would have to do some of the work himself. It was impossible for Hou Mingjun to do it alone.

After a busy period, it was New Year's Day 1962.

Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Chen Changan sat in his office drinking tea, in a rare good mood.

With so many workers recruited, there will always be a few who learn quickly and get the hang of things quickly.

Chen Changan made these people regular employees with a wave of his hand, and they started working as squad leaders.

Guide some workers who are not good at hands-on work and are slow learners, and help them make progress together.

Chen Changan and Hou Mingjun were finally freed from their busy work.

Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Chen Changan felt a little emotional. After several years, he finally saw heavy snow in winter.

This natural disaster has been overcome, and people's living standards have begun to gradually improve since this year.

Just as Chen Changan was still lamenting the heavy snow, the phone in the office rang.

When Chen Changan picked up the phone and heard the first words Aunt Feng said, he was stunned.

"What? The Japanese are coming to our pharmaceutical factory for inspection? Aunt Feng, did I hear that correctly? The Japanese are coming to our country? Aren't they afraid of being beaten to death on the way?"
