Early the next morning, when the workers at the Baojun Base General Assembly hurriedly walked out of the living area after breakfast, the same notice typed in large fonts was posted on the bulletin boards next to dozens of entrances and exits.
The notification content is very brief.
The cultural quality of employees in state-owned enterprises is relatively high. Basically, they all have a junior high school education or above, so they can naturally understand the above content.
Master Yao first noticed the notice printed on the red paper, and couldn't help but stop and read: "Notice, in view of the hot season in Nangang area, from now on, Nanfang Industrial will give all front-line workers 100 yuan per month.
High-temperature subsidies will be distributed on-site on the 1st of every month. Southern Industrial. August 8, 1992..."
After finishing reading, Master Yao still didn't react.
He quickly looked at it again and subconsciously shouted: "One hundred yuan monthly subsidy?"
Immediately other workers gathered around to watch, and the news spread quickly. Officials from various units were alerted and ran out to watch.
Some people thought it was a prank and immediately contacted people from Southern Industrial.
Duan Hanwen rarely returns home, but he came here early. When he arrived, Master Yao and several other workers immediately surrounded him.
"Mr. Duan! Is this notice true?"
"Yes, is such a good thing really possible? Who is joking with me?"
Duan Hanwen climbed onto a pile of materials, pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and said loudly, "Comrades, the notice is true. Our big boss feels that everyone is working hard and it is a hot weather, so he specially spent a sum of money
Come and give subsidies to everyone!”
It was a sensation immediately.
In an era when wages were generally two to three hundred yuan, a monthly subsidy of one hundred yuan was definitely a huge sum. This meant that it would be one thousand, two hundred yuan a year. This amount of money could be used to build a large house in a rural area.
A tile-roofed house or a huge amount of money to buy an adult cattle!
Duan Hanwen said loudly, "We have comrades workers in front-line positions, everyone has them. Of course, there are none who sit in offices. I can also tell you that the battle headquarters studied last night and decided to arrive at 12 noon.
All outdoor work stops at three o'clock in the afternoon. The sun in Nangang is very strong and we can't work hard, so we take the three hours at noon for everyone to rest and make up for it in the evening."
The workers cheered one after another. If possible, who would be willing to work under the scorching sun?
This humane provision was obviously proposed by Yao Yuan.
The system is constantly improving. According to the current weather conditions, the three-shift working system is not the most suitable for outdoor operations. On the contrary, staggered peak operations are more friendly to the workers. Avoid the hot midday
Three hours is helpful to improve work efficiency.
The team leaders of each team greeted everyone to the construction site. The workers became more energetic and talked excitedly about the high subsidies.
Some people are still dubious, and most people think that Southern Industrial will not joke about this kind of thing. Of course, some people think that the money will go to the company first and then be distributed to individuals.
Master Yao is also the team leader. When he heard his brothers talking, the comments became more and more outrageous. He interrupted them and said, "The notice clearly states that it will be distributed on the 1st of every month. Mr. Duan also said that it will only be distributed to
None of our front-line workers sit in offices, so why are you guessing!"
"One hundred yuan a month, it sounds unreliable. It's not a pie in the sky, right? There's nothing you can do if you find a reason to cancel it." Some workers who had calmed down thought from a habitual point of view.
Master Yao thought for a while and said, "A company as big as Nanfang Industrial should not be such a childish person."
A worker immediately made a calculation and said, "There are probably 80,000 or 90,000 frontline workers instead of 100,000. I'll count 80,000 and give each person 100 yuan, so that's 8..."
Seeing that he was holding a shovel and counting with his fingers for half a year, Master Yao said helplessly, "Eight million."
The worker was stunned and said, "No, it should be 80 million."
Master Yao glared and said, "One hundred and eighty thousand, followed by seven zeros, how did you calculate eighty million?"
The worker counted tens of millions and suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, yes, it's eight million, eight million. That's ninety-six million in one year, and the subsidy alone is ninety-six million.
I’m a good boy…”
He was frightened by the amount of money he had calculated.
"Squad leader Yao, no matter how rich Southern Industrial is, it won't be willing to spend 96 million, right? The total cost of the project in front of us is only more than 10 million, but we have worked for half a year!" The workers became more and more frustrated.
I believe that the high temperature subsidy is real.
When he said this, Master Yao became a little suspicious. After all, this was a very, very large sum of money, and it was an additional expense.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about it. Without the high temperature subsidy, wouldn't we be able to work? Let's get started. Try to complete today's tasks before getting off work at noon, and work on tomorrow's work in the afternoon and evening. Other groups are already ahead of us.
Already."
After saying this, everyone stopped talking and started working quickly.
Yes, even if there is no high temperature subsidy, we still have to work. When everyone thought about it, they let go.
The issue of high-temperature subsidies has caused huge repercussions among workers. In any case, in the eyes of workers, Southern Industrial, a private company, is much more lovable.
However, at the battle headquarters, Duan Hanwen was immediately criticized and complained by everyone.
As soon as he walked into the battle headquarters, several deputy commanders from various units smiled bitterly and complained in unison.
The battle headquarters has more than a dozen deputy commanders, all of whom are second-in-commands of participating units and are responsible for their respective construction teams.
Qiu Kunming, deputy general manager of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau, was very dissatisfied. He said, "Old Duan, what are you doing at Southern Industrial? You are so good at offering high-temperature subsidies. You are making a very bad start. This is causing trouble for several of our units."
What to do next."
"Yes, Southern Industrial has sufficient funds, but our pockets are empty. Taking a step back, you understand that Southern Industrial feels sorry for the workers. Even if high temperature subsidies are to be paid, should we hold a meeting to discuss the amount and method of payment?
These are all things that need to be discussed!" Chen Fakui of the Southwest Construction Association clapped his hands with the back of his hands, very excited.
The Southwest Construction Corporation is also very large. This time they have more than 3,000 workers, making them a relatively large unit participating in the war.
Nine out of ten units expressed dissatisfaction. When Fang Yaozu, deputy general manager of the Guangdong Provincial Construction General Administration, saw the situation, he stood up to smooth things over and said, "Southern Industrial also has good intentions. Besides, the general battle is a construction model under special circumstances.
You don’t have to follow Southern Industrial’s standards in the future.”
The ones who have the biggest opinions are the construction units in the south. Are there any high-temperature subsidies? There are not many hot weather in the north. The people watching the show with smiles and silence are basically the construction units in the north. China Construction Third Engineering Bureau has the biggest opinions.
, because Wuhan is one of the three hot stoves in the country, and the situation in Southwest China is not much different. However, Guangdong Province is definitely the one with the longest number of hot weather days in summer.
But Fang Yaozu couldn't tear down Nanfang Industrial, because they were all companies in Guangdong Province. Not only could they not tear it down, but they also had to make up for it. They had to stand together with Nanfang Industrial. Other matters would naturally be negotiated by the leaders.
These deputy commanders all work under the leadership of the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief is concurrently served by Vice Governor Zhang himself. This setting is enough to reflect the great importance that Guangdong Province attaches to this project. Moreover, the four sets of teams in Nangang area
All the top leaders have entered the general commander's office as directors and deputy directors to assist the general commander in his work. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire province and city have mobilized their efforts to support this conference.
"To put it lightly, is it so easy to raise the standards and lower them? Is it so easy to cancel the subsidy projects once they are introduced? You southern industrialists have a great cause, and your Guangdong Province Construction Bureau has a lot of money, but our southwest is a poor place, and you can't wait for a dollar to be broken.
Two pieces of flowers." Zhang Fakui said resentfully.
This is the reason why many companies would rather give out bonuses of thousands or tens of thousands at a time than give employees a salary increase. When the salary standard goes up, it is almost impossible to lower it. In the short term, it may only cost dozens or hundreds of yuan more in a month, but
Salary is only a matter of three to five years, but follows the employee throughout his or her career.
This is especially obvious in state-owned enterprises, because it is very, very difficult to fire an employee. To be precise, factory leaders do not have the power to fire employees at all. Therefore, in state-owned enterprises in the 1980s and 1990s, it was normal for employees to be dissatisfied with factory leaders.
However, there are some rogue employees who are determined to eat and die. They even dare to throw feces at the door of the factory director's house. You really can't do anything about him.
The Southwest Construction Association is very poor and has been owed wages for half a year. However, it cannot collect money from Nanfang Industrial for participating in the battle. This is a political task assigned by superiors. Zhang Fakui actually has no objection to Nanfang Industrial paying workers. He is opposed to it.
It’s the way it’s distributed—you can’t distribute it directly to workers!
Qiu Kunming put forward his own opinion and said, "Old Duan, the notice has been sent out, and taking it back may dampen the enthusiasm of comrades. I think otherwise, this money should be distributed to various units, and each unit will
Send it to your fellow workers."
Same idea as Zhang Fakui.
Immediately many people agreed.
Duan Hanwen snorted in his heart, Mr. Yao has already guessed what you have in mind, so he emphasized that it should be sent directly to the workers.
However, the emotions of exhibitors must be taken care of, as each has its own difficulties.
Duan Hanwen looked at the time and simply said, "Let's do this. The commander-in-chief and our Mr. Yao will come over soon, and the two leaders will talk to everyone."
At this time, Li Yan walked in. Their Xinxing Group was regarded as an independent force in this battle. It was directly dispatched by the commander-in-chief. It was also a critical team. The most difficult tasks were all assigned to them, so Li Yan usually rarely
Come to the battle headquarters, he has his own command post.
"Mr. Li." Duan Hanwen greeted.
In terms of level, Li Yan is the highest in the field. Xinxing Group is a military-level unit, and the general manager is a deputy military-level unit. When converted to the local level, it is actually the same administrative level as a general deputy governor. Vice Governor Zhang is the executive deputy.
, so it is at the provincial and ministerial level.
Li Yan greeted everyone with a smile and said, "Mr. Duan, the No. 7 mixing station can be completed today. Do you think we should ask the team to pull the materials in advance?"
"It was completed three days ahead of schedule?" Duan Hanwen said in surprise, "The efficiency of the troops is really nothing to say. No problem, I will arrange it right away."
Li Yan added, "Our group has decided to strengthen the battle force and send another thousand people here, so I have to trouble you to arrange a piece of land for us to set up a camp area."
"Mr. Yao said that the accommodation of all units participating in the war must be replaced and all use mobile dormitories. Mr. Li, you can leave this matter to me," Duan Hanwen said.
Of course Li Yan nodded in agreement, everyone wants to make the comrades' stay more comfortable.
After saying these two things, he walked away slowly, with his hands behind his back, like a living god.
As soon as Li Yan left, the battle headquarters became lively again.
"Mr. Duan, even if Governor Zhang and Mr. Yao come, can this matter still be withdrawn? I agree with Mr. Qiu's opinion, change the distribution method and leave it to each unit, so that we can explain it easily.
"Zhang Fakui said.
Several deputy commanders expressed their agreement one after another, accounting for the majority of the people.
Duan Hanwen was very calm. He said, "Don't be anxious, everyone. As I said just now, Governor Zhang and Mr. Yao will be here soon and will explain the situation to everyone in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Vice Governor Zhang arrived. Yao Yuan accompanied him, and Zhou Liang and other leaders followed behind. To everyone's surprise, Director Xia Honghua, who had only appeared at the mobilization meeting, also came.
Long right side.
Duan Hanwen immediately called everyone to sit down.
The layout of the battle headquarters is very practical. In the middle is a very large conference table, which can accommodate thirty people for meetings.
Everyone tacitly agreed to sit down in order, and other personnel who had no seats found chairs to sit on the side. Obviously, this was a meeting that all personnel in the battle headquarters could participate in.
Vice Governor Zhang said a few words briefly, and Director Xia Honghua also said a few words briefly, which together only lasted ten minutes. Obviously, the leaders knew that the key to the battle was time, and would not use precious time for retreats.
meeting.
Vice Governor Zhang, the commander-in-chief, is by no means a mascot. He participated in the battle of Hedi Reservoir when he was young. Later, he was basically responsible for large-scale construction projects in the province. He is very experienced in organizing such battles.
Zhou Liang presided over the meeting. After the two leaders finished speaking, he asked Yao Yuan to speak.
Yao Yuan stood up, glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, Southern Industrial is going to provide high-temperature subsidies to front-line workers, one hundred yuan per person per month. I didn't expect the trouble this matter will bring to everyone."
"Workers are the most valuable asset in our country's economic construction, and there is nothing comparable to our worker brothers. Here I can tell you realistically that Southern Industries is not short of money, and we hope to do more for everyone, especially
It’s to do something for the worker brothers.”
Yao Yuan paused and observed everyone's expressions.
