Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

The machines that were originally densely packed in the workshops were appropriately moved away and replaced with long tables and chairs lined up in rows. On the tables were placed snacks such as canned yellow peaches and maltodextrin carefully selected by Assistant Zhang. In addition to these snacks for the conference, the factory cafeteria also worked overtime to prepare a batch of snacks to ensure that every worker could enjoy delicious food at the conference.

With everything ready, the employees sat down at designated locations and listened to the speech that was about to begin through the loudspeaker. The core technical personnel and outstanding workers were arranged in the auditorium, which could accommodate thousands of people but was almost full. The workers were very proud to be able to come to the auditorium to participate in this grand ceremony, which was a recognition of their personal abilities and contributions. They were even more hungry when they saw the food in front of them.

When all preparations were completed, Su Chen stepped onto the podium and swept his eyes across the audience. Many familiar faces came into view. The closest to the podium were consultants and experts from Russia and technical elites from the factory, who were successful in making seamless steel pipes and crawler tractors. Not only did the members of the steel rolling mill participate, Su Chen also invited the employees of the tractor factory, so in addition to the technical elites of the steel rolling team, there were also important forces from the tractor factory. As for the personnel of the shipyard, they were assigned to various branch factories.

They all longed to get closer to Suchen, but these employees who had just joined the shipyard family were not yet qualified to attend the meeting in the conference hall.

When all the personnel were in place, everyone looked at Su Chen with anticipation.

At this time, almost every employee in the factory is a loyal fan of Su Chen. Without him, the workers would never have such a generous salary today.

After clearing his throat, Suchen began: "New Year's Day is approaching, and another year has passed. This year has been an outstanding year for our factory."

As the words fell, the staff in the backstage moved a large sum of money to the front desk.

This amount of money was exactly the bonus that Su Chen planned to distribute on the spot. When everyone saw the bonus piled up on the stage, their eyes were instantly focused.

Facing the shining eyes of the crowd, Suchen felt quite satisfied and said, "Everyone has performed well this year. According to your performance this year and after evaluation by the management, we have selected a group of outstanding model workers. Now we will award corresponding bonuses."

Upon hearing this, the workers were extremely excited. At first they thought that today's meeting was no different from other leadership meetings, and was nothing more than empty talk. They didn't expect Su Chen to actually give out real bonuses.

All the employees sat up straight and leaned forward, wanting to know if they were eligible for today's bonus.

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic response, Su Chen smiled and said, "The first one is Jiang Jiefang! This comrade not only developed new air-conditioning fan products this year, but also participated in the production process of seamless steel pipes and fire-fighting equipment and made significant contributions. Therefore, the first place in the list of outstanding employees this year will be awarded to Comrade Jiang Jiefang."

Suddenly, applause broke out.

Jiang Jiefang stood up and saluted to both sides.

Many employees know Jiang Jiefang and know that he has indeed worked very hard over the past period of time.

He also handled the factory affairs very well.

Therefore, there is no doubt about Su Chen's high evaluation of Jiang Jiefang.

With a rosy face, Jiang Jiefang walked to the front as if he was in the clouds.

He had never expected to receive such an honor. When he heard Su Chen mention him, he seemed to be in a dream.

Su Chen smiled and patted Jiang Jiefang on the shoulder, admonishing him, "You must work harder next year, Comrade Jiang Jiefang."

After saying that, he took out a thick stack of money from the pile of bonuses behind him and handed it to Jiang Jiefang.

The photographer quickly followed and took a few shots.

These photos will then be published in the factory newspaper for reporting.

Today, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has published its own internal newspaper to report on what happens in the factory and its factory planning.

In their spare time, employees like to read the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Newspaper.

Holding the huge bonus in his hand, Jiang Jiefang couldn't help but feel happy.

At first when he heard how much the bonus was going to be, he had no idea, but now that he holds the bonus in his hands and feels its weight, he truly feels that he has earned this income.

The bonus amount given by Su Chen this time was also quite generous, totaling 500 yuan.

During this period, a bonus of 500 yuan was enough to support a family's living expenses for a year.

Therefore, with this huge sum of money in hand, Jiang Jiefang became more determined to work harder in the coming year.

He expressed his determination with a little excitement: "I will definitely work harder and live up to the expectations of the factory director!"

After the first bonus was awarded, Jiang Jiefang became the focus of the whole audience and received many envious looks.

Su Chen then announced the name of the next outstanding worker. As each worker came on stage to receive the award, their faces shone with brilliance without exception.

Although their bonuses were not as generous as Jiang Jiefang's, they were still quite substantial, so the bonuses on the stage were quickly distributed.

During this period, no company had such an atmosphere at its annual meeting. Most companies only distributed some snacks or small gifts. However, Suchen's approach greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the workers, making them feel like they were injected with **.

After all, the cash was right in front of them, and it was not until the workers saw the bonuses being distributed with their own eyes that they realized they could get a year-end bonus by working hard.

Those workers who always think of being lazy are now regretting it. If they had been more diligent, they might be standing on the stage now.

Several award-winning workers seemed particularly proud. They had worked hard for these awards during this period. In addition to the extra bonuses promised by Suchen, the high overtime pay also benefited everyone a lot.

In fact, they already received a small bonus when they were selected as "advanced individuals" every month, but they never expected that there would be a more grand commendation at the end of the year.

This time, it was Su Chen, whom they admired, who personally presented the bonuses. This sense of honor made many workers so excited that they couldn't even walk steadily.

Receiving such a generous bonus and being praised in front of Suchen made every worker feel extremely proud.

After receiving this considerable bonus, they secretly vowed to work even harder in the coming year.

Because at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, not only is the overtime pay extremely generous, but the piecework wages are also very high.

What's even more tempting is that if they can innovate at work and develop new products that can be put into production, they can also get a considerable share of the profits.

These incentives have greatly increased workers' enthusiasm for work.

When the employees who did not receive bonuses saw so many people getting bonuses, they also started to feel jealous.

Workers from both the Tractor Factory and the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had representatives who received bonuses.

Those who failed to win the award were not slacking off at work. They just followed their daily schedule and went to get off work and left work on time, and did not work overtime too much.

Now they are increasingly dissatisfied when they see some workers receiving bonuses, some of which are equivalent to their several months' wages.

Workers who failed to receive the award began to look forward to having their names on the list of award recipients next year.

Those workers who were unable to enter the Great Hall were also extremely envious when they heard the cheers coming from the radio.

They fantasized about how proud they would be if they could sit in the conference hall and attend the meeting next year.

This year they could only listen to Su Chen's speech in the outer workshop.

Some workers were so upset that they simply ran to the outskirts of the Great Hall and peeked in through the windows.

The actions of a few people caused more workers to follow suit, and more workers came over, watching through the windows or doors. The crowd grew larger and larger, and was reluctant to disperse for a long time.

Everyone's heart was drawn to Su Chen's words. They had never seen such an annual meeting format before. The novel feeling made everyone nervous and excited.

When the last bonus was paid out, seeing that the atmosphere in the audience was still heated, Su Chen stretched out his hand and made a downward gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet. Then he said:

"For the production plan of the tractor plant next year, our goal is to produce a variety of three-wheeled vehicles including electric and gasoline vehicles."

After the reward session, Suchen plans to set new production goals. We cannot just stop at rewards without having a blueprint for the future.

Although the employees in the factory have demonstrated outstanding performance, Suchen naturally longs to see their more proactive efforts.

Three-wheeled vehicles are very popular in this era and can be seen on many roads. Su Chen believes that this is an industry with unlimited potential and broad market prospects.

Although there are many manufacturers on the market that manufacture tricycles, industry standards have not yet been formed. At the same time, although the income of ordinary residents has increased, it has not reached the level of affluence, making tricycles an ideal vehicle purchase option for them.

Not only can it be used to carry passengers or transport goods, it can also be used as a mobile sales point or food stall. It is an extremely practical means of transportation.

At that time, many people chose tricycles instead of cars for transportation because ordinary families did not have the ability to buy cars.

Even bicycles are not a convenient option for family travel.

Therefore, tricycles are best suited for family travel or cargo transportation.

When traveling in and out of the city, Suchen noticed that the number of tricycles on the streets was increasing day by day. Since the market competition in this field was not sufficient, he thought it was an opportunity worth entering.

From the time when Su Chen lived to the time when he traveled back, people have been seen using tricycles extensively. This industry is huge and belongs to a billion-level market.

For ordinary people, tricycles are not only an ideal means of transportation in daily life. If the Hongri Tractor Factory can join in and successfully produce and sell this type of vehicle, its future market share will be considerable.

Su Chen's move was also based on consideration of the current situation of the tractor factory.

Since the tricycle technology is relatively basic, it is relatively simple for the tractor factory staff to manufacture it. At the same time, the material supply can also keep up quickly to meet the current consumer demand.
