Seldy Stock's intuition told him that this was a major event involving the future of the entire factory. Although he had never been regarded as an outsider by everyone, and was even used as an accountant by everyone, he still felt that
, on this kind of issue, it is better to stay silent as much as possible.
That's why he asked Aunt Maggie to speak.
Facts have proved that this is indeed a very sensitive issue. It is understandable for him, an outsider, to avoid suspicion. Everyone was silent, but they all looked at Yu Lian, who should also be an "outsider".
The latter was already very used to this scene. He pondered for a moment, but then he answered the question in a different way: "Miss McGee, there are 200,000 people in Factory City, and your accounting department only has 17 or 18 people. Can they handle it?"
Aunt Maggie, who is dark and fat, is divorced and is very satisfied with Yu Lian calling her "Miss" instead of "Auntie", "Auntie", "Mrs." etc. Although she doesn't quite understand why the other party asks this, but
Still saying: "How busy can we be! Let's count the goods sent by everyone, and then distribute them according to everyone's position and needs. If we wait until the salary starts to be paid in the future, it will be easier, right? Anyway, how much everyone wants to receive,
There are also systems in place. With the help of computers, we will do the review..."
Speaking of this, Aunt Maggie felt as if she had discovered Hua Dian, and she suddenly showed a puzzled look.
"Isn't that what accounting is like? But my previous boss had to support so many accountants, all of whom seemed to be very knowledgeable gentlemen. They had to live in a separate dome villa area, eat meals cooked in a small kitchen, and use the latest technology.
The equipment, every day... I really can’t understand it!”
Aunt Maggie really put forward her thoughts in a simple way of thinking. Yu Lian knew that the other party's thoughts were actually a bit simple, but for a moment he felt that the other party made sense.
Yu Lian decided to ignore the problem for the time being and said: "At present, this deposit may be the first deposit received by the factory in a long time, so it should be kept as a reserve amount for the time being. As for everyone in the factory, you can
According to everyone's position, length of service and previous salary system, some temporary bills will be issued. Daily necessities and food can be collected through the bills. Of course, these are all temporary."
"Can't we just follow the previous method and distribute it through the Workers' Self-Government Council?" Busca didn't quite understand, and subconsciously looked at his friend Babaru. He is also the chairman of the Workers' Self-Government Committee. Once the change occurs, the people who will be most affected will
It's him.
However, after Babalu pondered for a moment, he shook his head: "That was before."
Busca was still a little confused, and the latter continued: "Maybe our reputation can last for a while. But as time goes by, everyone will hate me...and this is really not a long-term solution. Captain's
The opinion is correct. Everyone must take action and make it clear to everyone in the future. The temporary bill is just an excess. When we reach long-term cooperation with New Sevilla, we will definitely repay everyone's wages."
Yu Lian looked at the young worker leader and gave him a like.
In the past, there was nothing in the Red Maple Factory, so everyone could share the joys and sorrows, but now that there is something, that is another matter. Forcing everyone to pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait for the unified allocation of supplies is inconsistent with reality.
, which is also inconsistent with human nature.
The concept of not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality is very simple to say, but when a person sits in this position and holds power, his mind is often not so clear.
There is no way, since it cannot be distributed according to need, then it can only be distributed according to work.
In this matter, Babalu made a very correct decision. If it is because he has figured this out, Yu Lian's trust in him will be even higher; if it is because of his character, in addition to trust, he should
There was also a bit of awe.
"In the future, the responsibilities of workers' committees may be purely transformed into factory management and supervision."
"Isn't this what we did before?" This time it was Babaru who didn't understand.
Of course, even he didn't understand it, let alone others.
Yu Lian explained: "At the same time, we also need an organization that can organize workers and their families so that we can help and support each other. Our medical care, education, job training, and support for the elderly and disabled
Assistance and even organizing entertainment activities during holidays should be within the scope of this organization's remit. If the factory treats its workers as family members, the workers will protect the factory with the same awareness of protecting their homeland."
Everyone nodded. They had always done this, and because of this, even when the Red Maple Factory was at its most dying, there were still so many people willing to stay and live together.
"However, I must pour cold water on you now. Today's passion is burning, today's blood is boiling, today's sacrifice and hard work cannot be sustainable. Again, when everyone is broke, as long as they are willing to
As long as you are willing to sacrifice your life, you can always open up some situations. However, when this Red Maple Factory gets back on track, and even becomes a large and prosperous factory according to our original plan, you can still guarantee that today
Passion?"
Everyone was silent.
If the people present were those young officers who would only take it for granted if they had never seen them before, or students who stayed in the ivory tower, some people would probably laugh jokingly and say something like, "Captain, you are worrying too much." However, they were
Laborers are still the most elite group among laborers. They have seen the reality of the world and experienced the sufferings of the world. Even if their education level is not high, they are much more sensible than most of the emperor's pride who claim to have received higher education.
Since ancient times, we have shared hardships and joys together!
"You can do it, your children can do it, but what about your grandchildren? Will one day they take everything they have for granted?" Yu Lian asked again.
"Captain, do you have any solution?" Babalu looked at Yu Lian expectantly.
"This is a social problem that can even rise to the level of philosophy and human nature, and involves the ultimate dilemma of civilization. Even with the development of civilization today, this is still a problem that is difficult for everyone to solve." Yu Lian shrugged.
Babalu was a little disappointed.
"...But, maybe we can find this method together." Yu Lian added.
No one cares too much about it. Philosophy, human form, society, civilization, etc. are indeed too far away for them. Normal people will not have a deep understanding of these surrealities.
However, the only highly educated person present, Seldy Stock, thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"...Captain, I understand."
Everyone looked at the graduate student one after another.
"I really understand." He said with suppressed excitement.
So what exactly did you understand?
People with high academic qualifications and knowledge are the most likely to have random thoughts. Yu Lian is too lazy to pay attention to his mental state now, and said to everyone: "It won't take long, even if it is to prevent the Red Maple Factory from being completely rigid, the elimination system will inevitably appear. .For efficiency, survival, and development, the factory management will once again become the strong party. Then, the trade union should also serve as a representative of the workers and communicate and negotiate with the management on the workers’ treatment.”
Yu Lian saw that everyone was lost in thinking, so he added: "The workers' committee used to lead the workers against the bosses and capitalists, but now, everyone has made the decision in this Hongfeng factory. The union stands on the workers' side. , and management from a development perspective should be separated.”
Babalu must have understood and nodded. However, when he heard the word "call the shots", he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little distressed.
"I have a draft factory system here, which will be called An... Hongfeng Factory Charter from now on! Everyone, please go back and take a look at it, and we will discuss it at our next meeting."
Probably the amount of information in today's meeting was too great. When the meeting ended, everyone was a little silent, and the state was infinitely close to that of high school students who were forced to answer more than a dozen big questions during evening self-study.
Yu Lian also packed up his things and was going to see Feifei in class, but saw that Babalu hadn't left yet.
"Can we chat for a few words?" he asked.
Yu Lian nodded, took out a pack of old knives from his arms, and put it back in imagination. Babalu then stepped forward to clear the way.
The two of them left the conference room and reached the top of the building. This is the highest place in Maple City, completely overlooking the factory area opposite. The scenery is good and it is secluded and no one is around, so it is really suitable for private conversations.
Perhaps Babaru hadn't organized his words yet, so he didn't speak for a while. He looked at the factory area with flashing lights and sparks in the distance, and the continuous roar of machinery, his eyes were blurred, as if he was looking at the things he was haunted by. Goddess-like.
Yu Lian understood the other party's mentality very well and didn't bother him.
It wasn't until he finished burning an entire old sword that Babalu said: "Captain, I just thought of a very troublesome issue... It's hard to discuss with other people, so I can only talk to you."
"Is it about the property rights and future management of our Red Maple Factory?" Yu Lian asked.
The word property rights was a bit beyond Babaru's knowledge, but he quickly came to his senses, nodded and said, "...I can't hide anything from you."
"You don't have to worry about the military. Since I'm here, I represent the will of the military. In the future, the military will still send military representatives, but they will not directly intervene in the production and management of the factory. You only need to follow the initial equity,
Just hand over the due profits. Moreover, this part of the profits can be directly deducted from the products. This saves a lot of things, right?"
Seeing the disbelief on the other side's face, Yu Lian smiled: "For ten years, the Red Maple Factory was unable to provide the military with a dime of profit or even a gram of Taishi alloy. They had long wanted to get rid of it.
In that case, I might as well let you do it. The big shots in the National Defense Committee have forgotten about you a long time ago and won't cause trouble."
Anyway, after the previous restructuring, Hongfeng Factory is no longer a military enterprise, and naturally it will not be directly controlled by the military. Once it is back on track, the far shore defense fleet and the two corridor fortress groups will be nearby.
Purchase needed military spare parts and metal consumables here.
This is a win-win future. Marshal Paris, who just took office, also agreed. Anyway, even if it fails, the military will not suffer any losses, so why not be happy to see the results?
After Yu Lian explained this, Babalu finally understood. He knew that Yu Lian had made a longer-term plan for the factory, and he was moved for a moment.
But the more this happened, the more worried he became.
"I believe you." Babalu said.
"You will definitely be able to convince the military to let go...but when the factory really resumes operations, Xingsheng Company will definitely come back. Can you convince them to give in?"
Yu Lian thought for a long time before he recalled that the so-called Xingsheng Company was not the private enterprise after the restructuring? Its full name was Xingsheng Metallurgical Trading Company. After the Far Coast District Government withdrew from the Red Maple Factory, it
Its shares, as well as management and operating rights were handed over to it.
Of course, because the operational level of their management was lower than that of the military representatives, it triggered protests and boycotts from the workers, and they withdrew faster than the military representatives.
However, it was only the managers who retreated. Of course, Xingsheng Company also thought about getting rid of the company, but it could not find a reliable successor at all, and the result was that it failed. At least from a legal perspective, that company did own the Red Maple Factory.
part ownership.
When the Red Maple Factory comes back to life, they will definitely come back like sharks that smell blood.
Once the bosses come back, where will their employees go? This is why Babalu feels helpless.
"You are not their employees, what do you have to worry about?" Yu Lian said matter-of-factly.
"……no?"
"Of course not. Feifei has already reviewed the legal documents of ownership of the Red Maple Factory, and they are not particularly formal. At least it is not certain that the shares owned by Xingsheng Company exceed those collectively owned by the workers of the original factory. Therefore, according to the laws of the community, or even according to the national
According to the corporate laws of most countries in the Galaxy, they have no legal management rights!"
Babalu was a little confused. With such a description, the biggest boss in his mind actually became
"The military needs you to provide high-quality and cheap military equipment, and the government needs you to pay taxes legally. As long as you do this, you don't have to worry about external constraints. Then, it will be a hands-off battle between you and the capitalists! As long as you don't mess up.
, if you are always united, then there is nothing to be afraid of."
"However, this is also the most difficult." Babalu breathed out. He and his companions have endured until now, and are full of confidence in them, but now they have little confidence.
"...Yes, so you must even be mentally prepared to destroy each other's body." Yu Lian said with a smile.
Babalu was completely speechless for a moment. He really didn't know if the other party was joking.
