Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 720
After the adjustment of bonuses this time, there seems to be no change in the workers in the factory.

Most of the people have nothing to do with themselves and hang on high. Xu Liang's adjustment of the bonuses of the front-line workers has no effect on the staff of the department, and because in the past, the front-line workers were more expensive than the employees of the department. Earn a lot, so these people in the office building even gloated a little.

But when the knife moved to their heads, the staff in these departments finally couldn't laugh out loud.

On the morning of the second day, Xu Liang held a leadership meeting in the factory. During the meeting, Xu Liang suggested canceling the perfect attendance award that Duan Yun had set up for the departments of the department. Liang has also formulated a strict punishment system. If one violates the most serious one, all wages and bonuses of the month will be deducted.

When Xu Liang shared his ideas with Jiang Jianhua and other factory leaders, all the leaders present objected.

Previously, Duan Yun set up a perfect attendance award of 5 yuan a month for the labor service company. In addition, there are various awards such as hygiene competitions every month. The total is nearly 10 yuan. The rewards specially set for the income of front-line workers are generally not as much as the front-line workers in the workshop, but the difference is not too much. It is precisely because of the establishment of these bonuses that the labor service company and the hygiene of the office building Very good, the windows are bright and clean, the environment is fresh, and there are nearly 200 staff members in the entire office building, and they are almost full every month.

But these bonuses set by Duan Yun are superfluous in Xu Liang’s view. When he was in the army, he used to be a soldier to do internal affairs with the most basic quality. The quilt was stacked like a tofu block, and the ground of the barracks was even cleaner Like a dog licking it, these are the most basic qualities, so there is no need for a hygiene award.

However, Xu Liang's plan to revoke the bonuses for the employees of the office building was eventually rejected by the leaders of other factories. This was also the first time Xu Liang hit a wall.

But Xu Liang's temper was obviously a bit stubborn. Seeing that other leaders disagreed, he simply retreated and cut the health awards in half. In the end, Jiang Jianhua and others had no choice but to agree. Xu Liang was "hand-picked" by the new director general, and he always wanted to give some face.

In fact, Xu Liang himself knows that doing so will definitely offend some people in the factory, but Xu Liang feels that he is upright, and he is not afraid of the shadow. All these things he does are to save costs for the factory, which is a good thing and very necessary. Yes, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

But changes in the environment are always subtle, and Xu Liang didn't know that he was already heading for a crisis.

On Thursday morning, just as Xu Liang changed into his overalls and went to the workshop, he saw five college students including Jia Zhiqiang and Kong Jing directing workers to assemble a new gearbox.

"Morning Manager Xu!" Seeing Xu Liang approaching, Kong Jing immediately greeted him politely.

"What are you busy with?" Xu Liang looked at the semi-finished gearbox placed on the fitter's table, and asked Kong Jing and others.

"This is the imitation version of the MQ41 gearbox of the Volkswagen Light Vehicle. We have made some improvements to it..." Jia Zhiqiang introduced from the side.

"I remember you guys were still testing this gearbox yesterday, right?" Xu Liang didn't seem interested in Jia Zhiqiang's introduction. He asked with another disassembled car gearbox next to the public platform. .

"Oh, that one has been scrapped..." Jia Zhiqiang said.

"Scrap?" Xu Liang frowned suddenly, and said in a serious tone: "Do you know how much such a gearbox costs?"

"Of course I know, but the problem is that developing new products requires..."

"It took less than two days to waste a car gearbox. If you do this, our factory will lose tens of thousands of dollars a month!" Xu Liang's tone became more serious, and he continued: " You college students, you are really not in charge of your family, and you don’t know how expensive it is! A 2000 yuan gearbox was reimbursed in two days, which is equivalent to a month’s wages for dozens of workers! If you continue to work like this, ours Sooner or later, the factory will go bankrupt!"

"But Manager Xu, the research and development of new products is the task assigned to us by Manager Duan before, and the testing of new products itself requires a lot of samples, which is essentially a trial and error process. We also did some calculations before testing. , but some data must be obtained through actual product testing, which is very necessary..." Jia Zhiqiang also frowned slightly, and explained to Xu Liang.

"Okay, let me think that kid Duan Yun is a prodigal! How can he waste things like this!" It's okay not to mention Duan Yun, but when Duan Yun is mentioned, Xu Liang's eyes flashed a look of displeasure, and he only heard him continue : "The operation of this factory is the same as living at home. What you save is what you earn, and the products of our factory are not selling well at present. Why waste money on developing new products? You are all engaged in As for technology, it’s enough to just follow a few foreign drawings, if it’s really impossible to buy one, we’ll be done if we follow it, do we still need to do so many experiments?”

"Manager Xu, foreign technology is not so easy to learn. Design drawings alone are not enough. The materials of parts, processing technology, and parameters between parts must be obtained through experiments. As long as the appearance is the same..." Kong Jing also explained at this time.

"Don't tell me these useless things, you college students..." It seemed that it was too much to say so, Xu Liang immediately showed a smile on his face, and said: "You used to waste so much material before, so you just waste it. In fact, this is mainly due to Duan Yun’s management problems, and you are not responsible. In the future, you should work harder on how to reduce product costs. The lower the cost, the more competitive our products will be, and the benefits will increase. The most important task of you college students."

Useless is a scholar, Xu Liang has never taken these college students seriously
But anyway, these college students were cadres assigned by the state, and they were specially arranged by the provincial department, so although Xu Liang looked down on them in his heart, he was quite polite to them.

"Manager Xu, actually we..." Kong Jingliu frowned slightly, and wanted to explain a few words.

"Needless to say, you just follow my arrangement. You don't need to do any new product research and development. Think about how to reduce the production cost of our factory. This is the right thing to do."

After Xu Liang finished speaking, he turned and left...
