Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Inside the office of the director of the automobile factory.

"Hello, Director Chen. My name is Zhao Guangming, and I am currently the director of the First Machinery Factory."

"Hello, Director Chen, my name is Qian Yi, and I'm the director of the Second Machinery Factory."

"Director Chen, hello, my name is Sun Penghui, and I'm the director of the Third Machinery Factory."

"Director Chen, hello, my name is Li Jianhui, and I'm the director of the Fourth Machinery Factory."

"Director Chen, hello, my name is Zhou Chengan, and I'm the director of the Fifth Machinery Factory."

So many people introduced themselves at once that Chen Changan had no way of remembering them all.

The five men were about the same height and dressed the same, so at first glance you would think they were five brothers.

The main thing is that these five people have no special features at all, and it is not easy to remember them all at once just by looking at their self-introductions.

However, after Chen Changan silently recited a few sentences, he discovered that the order of these people was not the Hundred Family Surnames?

In this way, Chen Changan finally had a memory point and would not call the wrong person.

"What do you have to do with me today?"

“It’s nothing serious, the five of us were assigned to the machinery factory by the ministry.

The machinery factory is a subsidiary unit of the automobile factory, and a few of us have just taken office today.

I would like to report to you first to see if you have any requirements for our machinery factories.

Besides, the reputation of the automobile factory in the old city is known to everyone.

We have heard of Director Chen for a long time. We have heard that Director Chen is very good at management and technology.

It would be difficult to improve my technical skills in a short period of time, so I thought of asking Director Chen for advice on management.

I hope Director Chen can give us some advice and suggestions.

When we return to the machinery factory, we won’t be completely in the dark.”

The attitudes of these people are pretty good, at least much better than the one arranged by the Lin family before.

Before taking office, he knew to visit Chen Changan to learn from him.

“It’s simple. Several machinery factories previously had problems with withholding workers’ wages.

The first thing he did after taking office was to pay the overdue wages to the workers.

Has the Ministry solved your money problem?"

“The ministry has already solved the problem of money for us and the money has been received.

When we return to the locomotive factory, the previously overdue wages will be paid.”

“Since the overdue wages can be paid, there is no need to worry about the problems on the workers’ side.

Your status in the workers' hearts will also become higher, at least much better than your predecessors.

In fact, it is very simple to manage a factory well. As long as safety and quality are done well, it will be good.

As a subordinate unit of the automobile factory, the machinery factory is mainly responsible for relieving the pressure on the automobile factory.

Automobile factories have heavy tasks. Not only do they have to undertake the task of earning foreign exchange, but they also have to meet the car needs of various domestic units.

Most of the people in the factory are skilled workers, and asking them to produce parts in large quantities that are easy to produce is a complete waste of manpower.

The scale of the automobile factory itself is already large enough. After all, there are more workers, and the pressure on logistics is also huge.

This led to the birth of machinery factories. Automobile factories would entrust some parts that were easy to produce but had relatively high demand to machinery factories to complete.

The quality of the parts you produce is very important to automobile factories.

Although the parts are simple and the requirements are not high, once a problem occurs, it will affect the country's foreign exchange earnings. This is a big problem."

Although Uncle Nie had already told them what Chen Changan said before he took office.

However, they did not dare to show impatience towards Chen Changan.

Uncle Nie has made it clear that whoever works at that factory causes Chen Changan’s dissatisfaction will be fired.

They didn't want to give Chen Changan a bad impression just after taking office.

“Let’s talk about the issue of safety.

Whether they are temporary workers or regular workers, we should take them seriously.

The country is at a stage where it needs vigorous development, but now I am just an inconspicuous temporary worker.

It is possible that I will become a senior worker in the future, but no one can say for sure.

Every worker is the backbone of the family, and has elderly parents and young children to support.

If something happens to them, the whole family will be devastated, so safety is of paramount importance.

As long as it is for the good of the workers, even if some things are hard for them to accept.

As long as it is not intentional to make things difficult for people, it must be implemented. We must explain it clearly to the workers, and most of them will understand.

If you do these two things well, no matter how great your achievements are, at least you are a qualified factory manager."

Although Chen Changan said a lot, in fact, there was nothing useful in what he said.

After all, this was the first time that they met, and Chen Changan didn’t know much about them.

The most taboo thing for a leader is to talk too much with people you just met. It was not possible for Chen Changan to say too many useful things to them when they met for the first time.

They may not really be coming to you to seek advice, but are just doing so because they are the leaders of a subordinate unit.

When you take office, come and meet Chen Changan and get to know him, so that if something happens in the future, you won't forget his name.

Seeing several people standing in the office, neither talking nor moving, Chen Changan spoke.

"Okay, you still have to pay the workers when you go back. It's getting late, so I won't keep you here any longer."

Seeing Chen Changan speaking, several people were about to go back, but Qian Yi from the Second Machinery Factory spoke.

“Director Chen, our machinery factory is a subordinate unit of the automobile factory.

Can I enjoy the benefits of the car factory?"

Chen Changan looked at Qian Yi, knowing that he was from the Second Machinery Factory, and then silently recited the Hundred Family Surnames in his mind.

"Director Qian, right? What do you mean by benefits? Can you explain it in detail?"

“It’s about whether the welfare of workers in the machinery factory can be on par with that of the car factory.

For example, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do the workers in our machinery factory also receive the same benefits as the workers in the automobile factory?

Can the automobile factory also solve the housing problem of the workers in the machinery factory?

If the workers in our machinery factory were converted to regular employees and could live in buildings, I believe they would be very motivated.

From now on, both production and compliance will be accomplished well.”

As Qian Yi finished speaking, the directors of several machinery factories around him all took a few steps away from him.

They didn't even dare to think about such a request. Maybe Director Qian had taken the wrong medicine?

Their several machinery factories can only survive by relying on the automobile factories.

If you really perform well, it would be fine to just make requests.

He's just taking office and he's already thinking about these things? Is Chen Changan capable?

Sure enough, several people heard Chen Changan say.

“The automobile factory has been established for so many years. It is thanks to the hard work of the workers that we have achieved today’s results.

The New Year benefits were also obtained by me through the relationships I built and the products I exchanged for.

If you want good benefits, you need money, so you have to work hard.

As for the housing problem, the buildings in the automobile factory have been almost allocated. There are really not many vacant houses left.

Director Qian can expand and strengthen the Second Machinery Factory and build a house with his own money.”
