Chapter 853
In order to win over people's hearts?
Chapter 853 In order to win over people's hearts?
Secretary Su nodded.
Grandpa Wu was telling the truth; he has seven children.
Four boys and three girls. A few years ago, only one of them was working. They say that half-grown boys can eat their fathers out of house and home, and that's really true. Not only did we not have enough to eat, we didn't even have money to buy our kids homework.
That's only because the factory has a school; otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to afford the tuition.
After the factory was converted into a wool sweater factory, the workers' lives suddenly became much better.
Of course, only workers who pass the exam again are treated this way.
Those who failed the exam were sent to the service team to learn technical skills.
Anyway, they teach all sorts of things there.
Only those who pass the qualification test can enter the workshop as workers.
Grandpa Wu didn't take an exam or get a new job. Years ago, when the factory caught fire, he was burned on his arms and face while trying to save public property. Naturally, he continued to work as the factory's gatekeeper, and his salary increased along with the factory's when it was raised.
Originally, the salary was 32 yuan, but after three months, it was increased by 15 yuan, so the salary suddenly became 47 yuan.
Bonuses are based on performance.
That month, Grandpa Wu also received a bonus of six yuan.
As a result, he earned fifty-three yuan in one month.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the company gave each worker two pounds of mooncakes, three pounds of apples, five pounds of rice, ten pounds of flour, and three pounds of pork.
It can be said that the workers' lives changed overnight.
This wool sweater factory shocked the entire northern capital.
Some were jealous, but even more were envious...
Some people say that things haven't even really started yet, and they're already getting restless. It's true that you don't know the value of money until you're in charge. They say that Director Zhao and Lu Qiaoge are just trying to win people over.
Some people say that with orders coming in one after another, the factory is making money, so why not pay the hardworking workers more wages so they can have a better life?
Some people say that the workers in the wool sweater factory were oppressed, and they had to pass an exam to continue working. Some had worked for more than ten years, but they couldn't pass the exam for an apprentice. Then the older worker was reassigned to a service team, while the apprentice became a regular worker...
Some people criticized Lu Qiaoge for bringing all the capitalist practices into the factory.
Secretary Su knew that this decision was not made by Lu Qiaoge alone; everyone from top to bottom agreed, and this was a pilot program.
As long as you pass the exam and work diligently and responsibly, you can receive corresponding compensation.
Instead of the old system where doing well or badly didn't matter.
Workers who only work two days a month and those who don't rest at all in a month get the same salary. Do you think that's fair?
That kind of communal cooking method doesn't work well in this factory.
Last year, after passing the exam, both of Mr. Wu's children got jobs in the factory. In addition, Mrs. Wu does odd jobs in the service team. Now there are five people in the family working and earning money, and each person earns more than 200 yuan a month.
Then tell me, didn't Grandpa Wu's family's life suddenly become much better?
Not only have all the debts been paid off, but the bank also has deposits in their accounts.
Then, at the beginning of this year, the factory also put forward the plan to build employee dormitory buildings.
Of course, that's just what people are used to calling it, but it actually falls under the category of fundraising now.
It is said that the experiment in Jiangcheng was very successful.
The houses built this year will solve the housing problem for all the workers in the wool sweater factory.
The workers at the First Wool Sweater Factory are the most enviable people now, and the young men and women there are the easiest to find partners.
For no other reason than that they earn more.
The cacophony of voices subsided considerably after the person who became a "ten-thousand-yuan household" (a term used to describe someone with ten thousand yuan in assets).
These days, nobody turns down money, and nobody dislikes living a good life.
"Just ask Grandpa Wu—do you prefer the days when you couldn't even get enough cornbread to eat, or the days when you can eat big mutton dumplings now?" Secretary Su listened to Grandpa Wu's answer with a smile.
The factory takes great care of these workers who have made contributions.
It's not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Those who got in through connections but were idle and mediocre were all removed from their positions by Lu Qiaoge and Factory Director Zhao.
Director Zhao was initially worried that doing so would cause a stir, since everyone who could get into the government office had powerful connections.
For example, there are more than 20 people in the factory's document room.
Only three or four people actually did the work.
The rest... either work sporadically or frequently take leave, some are even nowhere to be seen, but when it comes time to get paid, they always show up without fail.
And these people don't have a housing shortage.
This factory isn't led by only Director Zhao.
To be honest, if those people really united, this reorganization would be impossible to implement.
Not only is it impossible to carry out, but the plan to convert the sweater factory into a factory may also be ruined.
Unable to attack Lu Qiaoge, those people turned to attacking Factory Director Zhao, saying that his son was a criminal and that since he was in jail, why should he still be the factory director?
He failed the political background check alone. We strongly demand that he be removed from his post.
However, the organization did conduct an investigation at the time.
Factory Director Zhao has no problems in either his work or his personal life.
His son was neither causing trouble nor committing a crime; according to the public, this was an act of bravery.
That year, Zhao Zhigang and some friends went ice skating and saw a young man harassing a girl, insisting that she was his wife. He dragged the girl towards his jeep, but the area was secluded and there were few people around. In addition, the few bystanders were timid and too scared to say a word when they saw this.
In reality, Zhao Zhigang was just an ordinary person.
Although his father was the factory manager, he didn't have any bad habits.
They also responded to the call to go to the countryside to work as sent-down youth.
But after his wife Hu Dan ran away, he became indifferent.
But the girl lived in the textile factory's staff quarters, so the group started fighting.
Zhao Zhigang didn't accidentally pull the young man away; he grabbed him and pulled him to the side, but the young man lost his balance and fell, hitting a large rock...
He was originally supposed to be sentenced to death.
Although the other party has three sons, this one was born to his second wife, and the mother of that son has caused quite a stir.
However, several thousand workers united to report the situation to higher authorities, who eventually sent a working group to investigate. As a result, Director Zhao remained the director and was not affected.
However, Director Zhao highly values the renovated wool sweater factory.
He felt this was the best way out for thousands of workers.
If it's changed, the workers' lives are thriving; if it's not changed, it'll remain stagnant and eventually go bankrupt.
What about the thousands of workers?
He wouldn't let the factory fall to that point, so he took the initiative to ask his superiors for his resignation.
Lu Qiaoge told him not to rush and to wait and see!
The result was only three days later.
Those who were planning to cause trouble all took the initiative to approach Director Zhao, saying that they were willing to participate in the assessment, and even if they failed the assessment, they were still willing to serve the brigade.
It's like someone has caught me red-handed.
He was incredibly honest, not arrogant at all, and even seemed apprehensive.
