This official "treatment" took much longer than the last test. It took a full hour. The feeling of itching all the bones in the body was both extremely comfortable and unbearable, but Wallis couldn't even move.
Can't move.
When the treatment finally ended, he was sweating all over his body again. He drank two bottles of mineral water in one breath and felt as if he had come to life again, with every pore in his body exuding a happy breath.
Feng Zibin put away the Five Qi Pills and said: "The effect of this treatment is very good. It seems that your physical condition is very good recently. You have not taken any medicine this week. How is your sleep situation?"
Wallich: "I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow!" This was the truth. He had been very miserable and tired this week, but he had the best sleep in recent years, and he didn't need to drink before falling asleep.
Feng Zibin: "If there's nothing else, you can go back. I'll ask someone to take you off. If you have any other ideas, you can call me anytime."
Wallis didn't want to leave. This week had really exhausted him. After receiving treatment, he felt physically and mentally no longer tired, and his brain became very clear. In his own office, he seemed to have regained his senses.
I lost the feeling of being the "big boss".
He sighed and said: "Your Excellency, actually I have a lot of ideas. Now I can understand why you want me to be an ordinary miner. I didn't understand the miners' situation at first, and I didn't want to understand.
.But now I know that as the person in charge of Wage Mining, I am willing to try my best to improve their situation.
In fact, in terms of labor treatment at Wage Mining, at least in this ghost place like Wage City, we should be doing very well. Maybe there are problems in some links in the middle, and I will try my best to solve these problems. In your opinion, is it right?
Can you change my job position so that I can learn more about the situation...is there something wrong with what I said?"
While he was speaking, he had been observing Feng Zibin, and the playful look on his face definitely did not mean he agreed, so he stopped to ask.
Feng Zibin smiled and said: "You have only been working for a week, do you want to be promoted? I said that before your illness is completely cured, you need to become a miner, but I will not interfere with how you become a miner.
miner.
If you do a good job and perform well, I won't stop you from being promoted. Maybe you can work your way up and become the general manager here again! But now, you have to take a good bath and change into clean clothes.
, then get a haircut and shave.”
Wallich really wants to change his position, even to an ordinary management position! And Mr. Lord really knows how to joke. According to the meaning of what he just said, if Wallich works as a miner as Vagrian, he will perform well.
Being promoted step by step, and finally becoming the general manager again... This scene is simply unimaginable.
Wallis smiled bitterly and said: "I don't have clean clothes, and it's very inconvenient to take a shower."
Feng Zibin: "I have prepared four sets of clothes for you, two sets of work clothes and two sets of casual clothes to wear after get off work, so that you can wash and change, but you have to wash the clothes yourself.
The conditions for washing clothes, drying clothes, and bathing will all be improved in the near future. There are implementation measures in the document you just signed, and you should have seen it."
Wallich: "I fully understand your intention. I will improve the working and living conditions of these miners. I am not a harsh and cold-blooded person. I am also employed.
This is also good for Wage Mining. I will cherish these workers, at least in this place, we can't find more replacements. But it seems that it doesn't make much sense for me to continue to be a miner."
Feng Zibin's face darkened: "Are you bargaining with me? Remember what you once said, no matter what I ask you to do, as long as you can do it, I will do it unconditionally, as long as it does not violate the law and
Conscience.”
Wallich quickly explained: "I don't want to go against your wishes. If you insist on letting me continue to work as a miner, of course I will do it."
Feng Zibin's expression softened: "It's not that it means little, but it means a lot! You just said that you will also pay attention to caring for workers in the future, which is also good for Wage Mining. After all, it is difficult to find replacements here.
I don’t agree with their people.”
Wallis: "Then what do you mean..."
Feng Zibin: “If they need your love and care, they will only be cared for if you are willing to care for them. This is desperate and not the result I want to see.
If you have a computer, you must use it to complete your work, and you will also take good care of it because it is your tool. If one day you have a better new computer, I believe you will care about that computer.
Old computers also don’t hold more emotion.”
Wallisy said doubtfully: "I don't quite understand."
Feng Zibin: "Those people are not computers, they are not tools, they are living people, and you are yourself. Although we are all willing to improve their situation, the underlying logic is not the same... Without further ado, you go back
Keep up the good work."
After Wallich returned, the first thing that improved was the food on the construction site. In fact, the miners were always well fed. After all, they had to do manual labor and the calories were guaranteed, but the quality was terrible. Wallich said that was
Pig food is not an exaggeration.
The new alliance sent a group of chefs to improve food processing and cooking methods, and also provided a batch of seasonings produced by Huanxiang Industrial's affiliated companies. The increased cost was not high, but the taste was greatly improved.
, it can be different seven days a week.
I think the New Alliance first did this in the military camp in Port Feso, and now they are familiar with it. This does not require a chef of Hua Zhenxing's level, but Hua Zhenxing also provided some suggestions on how to use existing materials.
Come up with a variety of flavors and patterns.
Its main taste is still heavy on oil and salt, but it is very popular here. Even middle-level managers who originally had special small restaurants also like to eat food in the big canteen.
Wage Mining took the opportunity to change its management method and merged the small restaurant and the large canteen, which also saved a certain amount of costs. The management staff and front-line miners in the mining area all eat the same meals, and ordinary meals are free of charge.
A small number of more exquisite or high-end foods are provided, but you need to spend extra money to buy them.
The original miners did not have a formal canteen, only a few meal points. At each meal point, they would queue up to receive their own food, and then find a place to eat. Now they have built a shed and divided the kitchen area and dining area.
Tables and stools are also prepared, which is quite formal.
Of course, the living areas of the miners are built in places with water sources. Although the northern part of Wage City is a desert, the southern part is not short of water, and water is needed for production. Even though the distribution of precipitation is very uneven, buildings are also built here.
Water storage and drainage facilities can be renovated and utilized.
First of all, we built several "bathing centers", which are actually open-air shoals with water flowing through them. The bottoms are built with stones, and everyone can stand in them and scoop water to take a shower. They can wash away the smelly sweat after get off work every day.
As for washing clothes, we also set up a swimming pool like this not far from the living area. Put the clothes in and simply shake them around to remove dust and sweat. For more sophisticated people, you can also rub them.
There is now a clothesline outside each dormitory. With the weather here, clothes can be dried quickly. Considering that the light rainy season is coming soon, awnings will be added to the clothes drying area in the future.
These measures do not increase the cost much, but they can make life more comfortable and convenient. During the small dry season after the heavy rainy season every year, various facilities and buildings in the mining area undergo renovations, and now we take the opportunity to arrange them.
What really costs money is the reconstruction of the water supply and drainage system in the living area, especially the new sewer ditches. This is very important in a place with a long rainy season, and can also greatly improve the sanitary environment.
Labor costs can be solved internally. As for material costs, Wallisi decided to use financial means to deal with them and include them in fixed asset investment projects. Although it also costs money, the accounts can be amortized over many years, which will not affect this year too much.
report data.
What Wallisi could see with his own eyes was the mining area where he was located. Wage Mining has more than a dozen mining areas and several processing plants. He could only learn about the situation in other places through Feng Zibin, but he
I don’t have the energy to ask too many questions yet.
Not all changes have received active cooperation from all miners from the beginning.
Although all the gangs outside have been eradicated, the gang culture here still exists. The workers originally belonged to various neighborhood gangs. Their production activities and living arrangements were divided according to this sphere of influence, and they are still used to forming gangs.
group.
There are certainly no problems with some things, such as improving food. There are also some things that require them to do it themselves, such as personal hygiene, laundry, and the improvement of drainage ditches in their respective areas. Many people are unwilling to do it.
These people are used to being lazy. Even though they are already the most hard-working group in Wage, the logic of many people is - where are you from, why should you care about me? Some people will bully others, such as forcing
Someone else does your laundry for you.
How many people are there in the working group sent by the New Alliance to Wage Mining? The number is unexpectedly huge, a thousand people in total! On average, there is one working committee member for every twenty miners. This is a task that the New Alliance has concentrated its efforts on in a short period of time.
There was a movement, and Hua Zhenxing personally took charge of it.
According to the plan, during the light rainy season, the new alliance will take the next step and continue to move south to liberate the entire Kingdom of Kilili. The time left for them to rest and consolidate in Wage City is actually only three short months from the end of July to the end of October.
months, and this place is so important.
If the New Alliance's operation fails in the end, the worst plan is to abandon Wage City and retreat to the north. I believe that other armed forces are unlikely to cross the Wage Desert and the Banwei River and continue to pursue the north, but that is definitely not what Hua Zhenxing and Xia Zhenxing want to do.
The results you want.
If they want to successfully move south, also because of the obstruction of the Wage Desert, they are too far from Banda City and Fiso Port in the rear area, and cannot guarantee the smooth supply of logistics supplies. Therefore, the outpost of Wage City is very important, and it is better to choose a safe place.
This corner is also a strategic turning point in liberating the whole country.
The new alliance must ensure that Wage City cannot be in chaos, so the prerequisite is to ensure stable control of Wage Mining and bring it into the new order system, rather than letting it continue to wander outside, otherwise Huazhenxing will be full.
Come here to play role-playing?
After liberating Wage City, the New Alliance initially dispatched nearly 10,000 military and political personnel, who were distributed to various neighborhoods to carry out work according to the "Klin District Model". Now one-tenth of them have been assigned to Wage Mining.
The mining area where Wallisi is located is an open-pit copper mine, and it is also the second largest mining area of Wago Mining. There are more than 1,600 managers and miners, and the New Alliance working group has 80 people.
There are five people in charge, named Meng Qi, Mi Lu, Mia, Milan and Mao Dudu. Each has its own division of labor and is under the unified leadership of the Sima team. They are all fourth-level students who have participated in the Yangyuan Valley training class.
We also worked together at a scientific research station.
Some measures implemented by the working group have also been resisted by some people, and some people even want to teach these nosy outsiders a lesson. Mia, Milan and Mao Dudu are all women, and some people have no good intentions...
…but these brave guys will all end badly.
Any revolutionary transformation that breaks the old model cannot only have a tender side, but also be accompanied by constant conflicts. The working group is not soft on this. It is too easy to suppress a few gang remnants. The focus of the work is how to resolve conflicts in the process.
Educate the masses.
The benefits brought by the new alliance to the miners are real. The average monthly salary of the front-line miners employed by Wage Mining is fifty Luo yuan, but in the past, most of them could only get twenty Luo yuan, and another thirty Luo yuan.
Yuandu was ripped off by the gang that "managed" them.
Now everyone can get full wages every month, which actually caused dissatisfaction among some people. Because among the miners on the construction site, there are still former gang members who supervise other people's work and are responsible for cleaning up.
Those who are disobedient.
Nowadays, there are no gangs outside, but they still retain their original habits, such as blackmailing other miners to give them money, or relying on the gangs they formed to bully other weaker groups, asking those people to help them work or
Make offerings to them.
Wallis was the most unlucky. He had no power at all. Before he went to see Feng Zibin for treatment for the second time, it happened to be the mine's turn to pay wages. He also received half a month's salary of twenty-five Luo yuan.
I was ordered by the leader of the group around me to hand over fifteen yuan as a tribute...
Although his real annual salary after tax is as high as 300,000 yuan, how could he not report this kind of thing to Feng Zibin? In fact, he did not need to file a complaint. The working group took the initiative to handle it. Some people were criticized and educated, and some
The people were taken away and never showed up again.
The remaining die-hard gang members have become accustomed to their original way of thinking and behavior and do not want to repent. It is impossible to eliminate them all at once. After the liberation of Banda City, there are still remnants of the Miners Gang who are trying to cause trouble.
, the result was taken over by Xiao Guang, and the working group of the new alliance has experience in this.
One of the things the working group has to do is to replace the original gangs with new organizations that are stronger, more formal, more dynamic and hopeful, and to give them more and more positive life content.
With so many young people gathering together every day and having nowhere to vent their energy, trouble will definitely occur. It was not completely unreasonable for those gangsters to open casinos and brothels at the gates of the mining areas. At least it could solve some of their needs.
Wallisi saw with his own eyes that changes were happening around him every day. The remaining gang members were eliminated, living, living, and working conditions were improving, and production management was becoming stricter.
His dormitory has established a sanitation duty system, with two people assigned to clean the room in turn every day, and a work team to inspect it. Who would usually do this kind of thing? But after a few days, everyone actually thought it was pretty good.
Starting from the second week after the working group entered the mining area, the New Alliance brought in projection and audio equipment from outside, and used the power supply in the mining area to show "movies" to everyone every day, just after dinner every day.
It was not a feature film, but a speech delivered by Charles in local dialect and Eastern Mandarin, and then a promotional documentary about the new alliance. This was so novel that almost everyone would watch it, and some people gradually started to recite it when they came back.
Contents of Charles's speech.
The new alliance established many miner groups and organized various amateur activities, such as speeches, singing and dancing, night school training, etc. It also held several critical rallies and brought a group of die-hards who oppressed workers to the stage, and the working committee members exposed them.
His criminal behavior and encouraged those present to come to the stage to accuse.
Once the customs are formed, many old customs will be despised by everyone, and what the locals fear most is being looked down upon.
Some people may wonder why the management of Wago Mining can tolerate such a big move by the new alliance? But Wallis can understand it. The management model of this company looks very formal from the middle level up, but from the middle level up
Going down, we basically let the local people go.
It used to be that each gang organized people from their own neighborhoods to do the work. If something happened, the senior management would first assign it to the middle level, and the middle level would just go directly to the gang leader to explain it. Now those gangs have been eliminated, and the management is also very confused. The new alliance
The working group took advantage of the situation.
Someone also reported this problem to Wallich. The working group of the new alliance is different from the original gang. What they do is a bit too much. It seems that they want to organize the miners in each area into a unified organization. Do you want to intervene or stop it?
?
During this period, sitting in Wallich's office, the person responsible for overall leadership was Hua Zhenxing. Hua Zhenxing responded directly that as long as the working group did not affect normal production and operations, there was no need to interfere.
To open a mine here, you have to deal with local people, and the New Alliance is the local force that replaces the Lions Organization. Their way of doing things may be different from the Lions Organization, so you have to adapt first and wait until the situation stabilizes.
As for other senior managers, will they bypass Wallis and report to the Yimailei Group? Not to mention whether the headquarters will take care of it, this is a workplace taboo, and it seems unnecessary.
The working group did not affect the production and operation of the company, and the production organization and management were actually better than before.
In the open-pit copper mine area where Wallisi is located, there were original production safety management regulations. The relevant systems of the Yimailei Group have long been mature, but many miners here do not care too much or will not take the initiative to abide by them.
When operating construction machinery, entering and exiting blasting areas and working areas, many detailed regulations do not seem to be necessary. Wear safety helmets and gloves, thick-soled high-waisted boots, and long-sleeved work clothes. You must completely obey the whistle command. In the local climate
It's really uncomfortable, but if something happens, you'll be out of luck.
In the past, these things were all supervised by gang bosses holding whips, and those bosses themselves were lazy. Now, the working group organized training and education, and added many details of supervision and execution.
Sometimes Wallis is also curious, what exactly does the working group of the new alliance want to do? This mining area has sent more than 80 people, so doesn’t the entire Wage Mining Group send a team of nearly a thousand people?
The wages of these people are not paid by Wage Mining. They just use some space and electricity on the construction site. The costs of many activities organized are borne by the new alliance itself!
According to the new policy signed by Wallisi, the mining area will organize workers on rotation to go to and from the corresponding blocks in Wage City on weekdays, and provide unified transportation. There are not so many buses, but trucks with guardrails can also transport people and have simple cushions.
, one car can seat many people, and the road is not too far anyway.
Although these miners are only the lowest-level employees in the mining area, they have recently received full wages. When they return to their respective neighborhoods, they will be considered a wealthy class and can enjoy and relax.
Unfortunately, Wallich was alone and had nowhere else to go. Finally, after another week, he finally felt much better than the first week. He was taken to the original office again for "treatment".
Seeing Feng Zibin again, Wallich blurted out before he could sit still: "Your Excellency, are you a socialist?"
This sentence was very abrupt, and Wallis didn't know why he asked it suddenly, because he had been thinking about it for several days, and maybe he just couldn't hold it back.
Feng Zibin's reaction seemed slightly surprised. He did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "I am a capitalist, a big capitalist!"
This is indeed the case. Who can say that Feng Zibin is not a capitalist? And in today's country, he is probably the largest capitalist. In terms of wealth and resources, no local can compare with him.
Compare.
Wallich couldn't question this answer, and couldn't help feeling a little discouraged: "But I'm almost becoming a socialist."
"I also understand the situation in the working group. I heard that you are an activist!" Feng Zibin asked with interest: "What's wrong with this?"
Wallisy blinked and thought for a long time. With his current identity as "Vagrian", he really couldn't say anything bad, but with his former identity as "Big Boss"? Strictly speaking, he actually didn't
They are just workers hired by Yimailei Company...
Feng Zibin did not wait for his answer, and took out the Five Qi Pills again and said: "If you have any questions, let's talk about it later. Let's start the treatment first."
