Material Empire

Qin Hai came to Beixi this time with a mixed team, including Qiao Changsheng and Dai Jiayin, old workers from Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant, Fu Zhihao from Qujiang Farm and his three accomplices, and Baihe from his hometown. Two distant cousins, Qin Rongcai and Qin Rongqing, were recruited from the town, and finally there were two Qingfeng factory workers, Yu Haitao and Wang Xiaochen.

The purpose of Qin Hai bringing Yu Haitao here is because the joint venture factory will have a lot of capital and material exchanges, and needs to be managed by its own person. The reason for bringing Wang Xiaochen here is to consider that there may be some matters involving female workers, and it is sometimes inconvenient not to have a female in the team.

Although Wang Xiaochen has a heart of gratitude and admiration for Qin Hai, she is still very hesitant to ask her to quit her job at Qingfeng Factory and come to help Qin Hai. In the end, Qin Hai asked Ning Zhongying to come forward and send Wang Xiaochen to Qin Hai in the form of dispatch from Qingfeng Factory, which solved Wang Xiaochen's psychological barrier. After Wang Xiaochen arrived at the joint venture factory, all the salary relations at the Qingfeng factory were frozen. Qin Hai promised to give her twice the salary, which made this frugal girl secretly happy for a long time.

A few days ago, Qin Hai discussed cooperation with the city, and the whole team was not idle. They investigated Beigang through various channels and made friends with some Beigang workers. Today, Beixi Special Steel Works was officially listed, and Qin Hai brought the entire team here to answer the inquiries of Beigang workers on the spot. All the people have been trained by Qin Hai in advance, and there is a standard paradigm for how to say what to say, so Qin Hai doesn't have to worry about their inappropriate words causing trouble.

Old Yu, don't you want to know what is going on with the recruitment of the special steel plant? Come on, come and talk to our director Qin. Let me tell you, don't look at the young director of Qin, he has real skills in his hands. Even the Japanese are not as fluent as he is in Japanese. While bragging, Qiao Changsheng pulled Yu Youheng across from Qin Hai, and made him sit down.

Master Yu, right? Why, do you intend to work in our special steel plant? Qin Hai sat behind the table and asked Yu Youheng with a smile.

Yu Youheng is an old worker of the Beixi Iron and Steel Plant. He used to work in the No. 2 open hearth furnace workshop. Now that he heard that the workshop has been contracted by others, everyone has to adjust their positions. He feels a little lumpy in his heart. Fortunately, he also met an old friend Qiao Changsheng in the contractor's team. After being fooled by Qiao Changsheng, he began to feel a little bit excited, wanting to know what it would be like to work in the joint venture factory.

Director Qin, I am an old worker. I have worked in Beigang for more than 30 years, and I will retire in a few years. I heard from Master Qiao that if you apply for a job at a special steel factory, your income can be double that of Beigang. , are you serious? Yu Youheng asked Qin Hai timidly.

Qin Haidao: This statement is true or not, it depends on what Master Yu intends to do.

What does this mean? Yu Youheng was a little confused.

What Qin Hai wanted was this effect. He had to arouse the other party's curiosity first, and then explain it. This kind of communication effect is the best. He said: Director Xu told everyone just now that our special steel plant is a reform pilot in the province and adopts a market-oriented management model. How good or bad the results of a worker’s work are.”

What does it mean to be uncapped? If I do well, how much can I earn at most? Yu Youheng is most concerned about income. He is in the same situation as Qiao Changsheng. He has several children who are about to get married. The economy is very tight. What Qiao Changsheng talked with him just now, what moved him the most was the issue of income. If the usual salary can be doubled, the year-end bonus will be 1,000 as soon as he gets it.

Qin Haidao: Our salary system is based on the technical level and the performance of the work. Steelmaking is a technical job, and the wages of senior workers and junior workers can differ by more than two times. This should be the same in Beigang. The so-called work effectiveness depends on how much work your team has completed and the quality of the products. If you have a high level of technology and good work results, generally speaking, your wages can indeed be doubled compared to when you were at Beigang. If you do something special Well, with outstanding contributions, it is also possible to double or triple.

Then if I come to work with you and feel inappropriate and want to go back to Beigang, can I still go back? Yu Youheng asked again.

Qin Haidao: It's absolutely possible. We have discussed with Beigang. All personnel who come to work in the special steel factory will be treated as if they were suspended without pay. They can return to work at the original factory at any time.

So, it's quite a simple matter. Yu Youheng said to himself.

Why, is Master Yu interested in trying it? Qin Hai urged.

No, no, I'm just asking first. This matter... I have to think about it. Yu Youheng waved his hands again and again, then quickly stood up, looked at Qiao Changsheng with apologetic eyes, and said, Old Qiao... I have been in the factory for so many years, and I am about to retire again, this matter... I have to think about it, think about it.

It's understandable. Qiao Changsheng patted Yu Youheng on the shoulder and said, Old Yu, you should go back and discuss it with your family. If it doesn't work out, it's okay. There will be a chance to do things together in the future.

Yes, yes, old Qiao, you are in the factory right now? If you have time, go to the house and sit down. Let's call up those friends from back then and have a drink. Yu Youheng invited warmly.

Sure, I will definitely go to your house for a drink after I've been busy for a while. Qiao Changsheng replied.

Yu Youheng left with a heavy heart, and then other workers sat down and asked Qin Hai and others about related matters. Some workers who were not at the scene before heard the news and ran over one after another. First, they asked the colleagues in the factory about the situation, and then they came to consult the few people brought by Qin Hai. Because Qiao Changsheng had trained at Beigang for a period of time and had some contacts, he was always surrounded in the middle, answering various questions related to work or not.

For a whole day, Qin Hai didn't know how much he said. He only remembered that the little girl Zhang Yunjia poured water for him more than a dozen times, but he didn't seem to go to the toilet a few times. All the water turned into saliva and evaporated.

When it was dark, the people who came to consult slowly dispersed. Qin Hai turned his head to look at his team, and found that everyone was so tired that their mouths were crooked and their eyes were squinting. It was harder than working in the workshop all day. . He was lucky and shouted: Pack up and go, I will treat everyone to a big meal.

Forget it, boss, I want to go back and lie on my stomach right now. Heizi replied glibly. After working in Pinggang for a few months, he and Qin Hai got to know each other well, so he could speak freely. He felt that Qin Hai was younger than himself, and calling Qin Hai an honorary title was a bit embarrassing, so he learned the title of Boss from the Garrison Death Squad, and kept shouting like this with his little brothers.

I really can't eat. How about, Xiao Qin, let's all go back and I'll cook some porridge for everyone. Wang Xiaochen also suggested lazily, she was the most tired today, not only did many female workers come to her for consultation, There are also some young guys who try their best to get close to her, wanting to talk to her if they have anything to say. She was not a good talker in the first place, and now she can drive ducks to the shelves, but with such a high work intensity, her voice has become so hoarse that she can't speak.

The group of people returned to the temporary residence that Xu Yang helped them arrange like a defeated soldier. Zhang Yunjia helped Wang Xiaochen wash the rice and cook the porridge. Everyone lay on the bed in the room for a while, got up and drank porridge, and finally recovered, and gathered together in the big room where Qin Hai lived for a meeting.

So far, there are no less than a hundred workers who have asked us about the situation, but none of them expressed their willingness to work in the special steel plant on the spot. Director Qin, this situation is not very good, Yu Haitao said. Now Qin Hai is also a leader, and Yu Haitao always calls Qin Hai the director of the factory when other people are present.

That's right, boss, the method you're talking about doesn't work. Heizi criticized carelessly. He thought it was cool to talk like this, and Qin Hai didn't bother to correct him.

Wang Xiaochen said: Those people who talked to me today, they all think that the income of our factory is quite attractive, but they are worried that our conditions are too harsh, and some don't believe us. I thought about it, if I don't trust Xiao Qin very much If you don’t, you may not dare to apply for the job, the state-owned enterprise is so stable, and the income of Beigang in the past is not bad.”

Everyone reported the situation of the day one by one, and finally turned their attention to Qin Hai, waiting for him to summarize. The past six months of practice have shown everyone Qin Hai's ability, and everyone believes that Qin Hai can always turn decay into magic.

Qin Hai smiled at everyone, and said: Everyone has worked hard today, and the result is actually very good. Xiaochen is right, he is an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and his income is not bad, why should he take risks to come to us What about doing things? After all, we are just a steel factory in the county, and our status is lower than theirs, so even out of face considerations, they would not be willing.

Face can be eaten as a meal? Dai Jiayin, an old worker, commented angrily. When Ning Mo and the others came to ask him to return to Pinggang to work, he also hesitated because of his face. Only after he got a high salary and a high year-end bonus did he realize how ridiculous his original idea was. Face is something that people use to deceive themselves. If the salary can be doubled, isn't it worth an illusory face?

I think everyone may be waiting. Qiao Changsheng said.

What are you waiting for? Qin Hai asked with a smile. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, and he just wanted Qiao Changsheng to say it.

Qiao Changsheng said: I guessed, I used my own thoughts to speculate on others. I think, in fact, many people want to try, but there is no one who takes the lead, so everyone is waiting. Who I don’t want to be the leader, what we have to do now is to find someone who takes the lead.”
