Chapter 160 Busy and Happy
Hanhua Company's takeover of Xunzi's factory area will inevitably involve the problem of how to solve the housing of Xunzi's employees.Of course, it is impossible for Lin Zhenhua to drive all Xunzi employees out of the factory area. The result of the discussion is to let them still live in the original house, which is regarded as renting the residence of Hanhua Company. A few cents a month.

Lin Zhenhua did not move the original housing stock, but he could use the increase in housing as a bait to attract employees from Xunzi to abandon their status as state-owned enterprises and invest in the embrace of Hanhua Company.

In Xunzi's factory area, there is still a lot of open space.After taking over Xunzi's factory area, Lin Zhenhua immediately invested 60 yuan to start construction of 4 staff dormitories.There are 48 houses in each dormitory, which are divided into three-bedroom units of more than 70 square meters and two-bedroom units of 50 square meters. There are kitchens and bathrooms in the suites, and a firewood room of 6 square meters is reserved for each family in the basement.

In order to better stimulate the nerves of Xunzi employees, Lin Zhenhua asked the design unit to draw a color rendering of the house, printed it in large size, and pasted it outside the construction site.The workers in Xunzi can see these pictures when they pass by to and from get off work. The scenes with bright and clean windows inside make people's imagination endless.

Lin Zhenhua let it out that all employees who signed an employment agreement with Hanhua Company will be eligible to participate in the queuing room allocation.He also hinted that these four houses are only the first phase of the project. After Hanhua Company's income increases, more houses will be built, and finally the dream of everyone living in a building will be realized.

housing!This was the last straw that crushed Xunzi employees' psychology.

It can be said that there is not a single employee in Xunzi who does not care about housing.The houses of many employees were divided 20 years ago. At that time, they were just married, and a two-person world was arranged in two small bungalows, which seemed very loose.But with the birth of the eldest, the second and the third child, and as these children gradually grow up, the housing problem has become more and more serious.

Those families with sons and daughters have to face the dilemma of older boys and older girls living in the same room. There will inevitably be embarrassment.There are also some families with elderly people living together, which is even more embarrassing.

In many families, middle-aged couples have to live in the same room with sensible children, and those things that are not suitable for children to see and hear can only be put on hold indefinitely.This kind of thing that everyone loves to do is put on hold for three to five years, who can stand it?
Facing Lin Zhenhua's housing offensive, Xunzi's employees began to feel excited, and they all murmured.

"With so many houses built at once, should we solve our housing problem?"

"You think about beauty. Didn't you hear what Manager Lin said? Only the employees of Hanhua Company are eligible to line up. How can we Xunzi people have this qualification?"

"Why, this is a house we built ourselves in Xun."

"Brother, wake up, now Xunzi has been sold to Hanhua Company, and even the house we live in now is owned by Hanhua Company. Whenever you want to drive you away, you have to go."

"He dares! I have worked in Xunzi for so many years, who dares to drive me away?"

"Okay, if you can, they don't dare to take over the old house, but there's no need to give you their new house, right?"

"No way, I think they have built so many, more than 100 sets, can their people live there?"

"I asked Chief Peng, and he said that Manager Lin issued a death order. Except for the people of Hanhua Company, no one else is allowed to live. Even if it is empty."

"It's so unreasonable, we live in such a bad way, and they won't let us live in their empty house."

"Don't you understand? They are trying to attract us to resign from our state-owned enterprises. As long as we resign and agree to work as a collective employee in Hanhua Company, they will immediately give us a house."

"Then I won't do it."

"You don't do it? Naturally, someone else did it, and I want to go."

"No way, are you willing to give up your public office? We are genuine state-run identities."

"Fart, the state-run status is a fart. Can Xunzi give you a house? Can Xunzi give you benefits? Look at the Hanhua Company, which sends 20 catties of eggs to each person during the Dragon Boat Festival. We have no share. Those Xiaonian squatted at the door and cooked tea eggs to eat, they were delicious."

"Their welfare is good, but this large group is always unstable, right? What if Hanhua Company can't continue to operate? It's not like our state-owned unit. Even if it loses money, the salary can still be guaranteed."

"Are you still dreaming? Go and ask, did we collapse first, or the Hanhua Company collapsed first. Don't you know that Hanhua Company sold 100 million electric fans at the Canton Fair, and earned money from foreign exchange alone?" 4000 million U.S. dollars. Now the Department of Light and Chemical Industry and the Department of Foreign Trade are supporting it, can they still collapse?"

"What you said makes sense, let me think about it again..."

Conversations like this happen in every corner of Xunzi.At the beginning, they discussed in twos and threes, and later, ten or eight people gathered together to discuss.Some self-informed informants bought by Lin Zhenhua kept conveying Lin Zhenhua's meaning to his neighbors and friends, and strengthened everyone's determination to give up public office.

People have a herd mentality. It is difficult for a single worker to make a decision, but when everyone is thinking about the problem, it is easy to make a decision.Everyone thought the same thing: If others can do it, why can't I?
Finally, the first worker to eat crabs appeared. His name was Zheng Kunsheng, a young worker who had just married. He was still living in the original collective dormitory. The couple lived together in the same room with their former roommates behind the curtains.The newlywed couple can only seize the time to make out every time their roommates go out, and the quality of their intimacy can be imagined.Zheng Kunsheng couldn't stand such a life for a day.

What about state status?As long as you can give me a room and let me sleep with my wife in my arms, get rid of his state-run status!
"Manager Lin, I have already sent a resignation report to Director Qiu, please accept me to join Hanhua Company." Zheng Kunsheng handed an application letter to Lin Zhenhua.

"Okay, Comrade Zheng Kunsheng, on behalf of Hanhua Industrial Company, I officially accept you as an employee of the company. Welcome." Lin Zhenhua said enthusiastically.

Zheng Kunsheng asked: "Manager Lin, since I joined the company, I don't have any problem with any job you ask me to do. I just want to ask, can I have a room in the newly built dormitory?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "No problem. According to your conditions, you can be the first to be allocated a two-bedroom house. You can move in this winter at the earliest. You and your lover can spend the Spring Festival in the new house."

Zheng Kunsheng's resignation broke the deadlock in Xunzi Factory.According to Lin Zhenhua's instructions, Zheng Kunsheng talked about how generous the treatment of Hanhua Company was in the factory, and the distribution of houses would be in accordance with the order of registration.

Hearing such news, other young workers who were in the same housing dilemma as Zheng Kunsheng were also anxious, rushing to Lin Zhenhua's office one by one, almost wishing to bite their fingers and write a blood letter to express their admiration for Hanhua Company .

With the first one, there will be the second, and the third. When [-] or [-] workers submitted their applications to Lin Zhenhua, the entire iceberg completely collapsed.

"Fuck him, get the house first and then talk about whether it's state-run or not."

"Everyone has resigned, what am I afraid of?"

"Let's resign first. In the future, if Hanhua Company really fails, I don't believe that the Qinghua Department will ignore us."

"Yes, resign and join Hanhua Company."

More and more people made up their minds. In just ten days, nearly [-]% of Xunzi's original employees submitted their resignation applications to the factory department and joined Hanhua Company.The other [-]% of the people belonged to the kind of extremely conservative thinking, or were somewhat jealous of the success of Hanhua Company, and held a tragic mentality that they would never join the nouveau riche.

For the Xunzi employees who defected here, Lin Zhenhua planned to make three chapters with them, saying that Hanhua Company's rules are different from Xunzi's, and whoever dares to violate labor discipline will have their wages deducted at least, or fired at worst.In the enterprises of later generations, such regulations are really too common.

However, such an idea was rejected by Zhu Tiejun.Now Lin Zhenhua has to discuss with Zhu Tiejun, Liang Guangping and others before making any major decisions. He feels that these old people consider issues much more comprehensively than he does.Regarding the management of Qianxun's employees, Lin Zhenhua naturally also asked Zhu Tiejun for advice.As a result, as soon as he expressed his thoughts, he was criticized by Zhu Tiejun.

Zhu Tiejun said: "Xiaolin, I completely understand your thoughts. That's right, this is how a company should be managed. Without strict discipline, how can a company be managed well? But have you ever thought about it? When the Hanhua Company came, they had doubts. If you make another three chapters of the agreement, would they dare to come? Unless you don’t want these 300 people, otherwise, it’s better not to show the three chapters of the agreement.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "If I don't have the three chapters of the agreement, after they arrive at Hanhua Company, they will play around and refuse to obey the management. What can I use to restrain them?"

Zhu Tiejun asked with a smile: "Xiao Lin, is there such a situation in your current Hanhua Company?"

Lin Zhenhua thought for a while and said, "That's not true. It seems that I am quite authoritative in the company."

"Yeah, how did you do it?"

Lin Zhenhua thought about it again, and said: "I have summed it up. There are probably two things. One is that I gave everyone hope and made them feel motivated, which mobilized their enthusiasm. The second is for disobedient people. I adjusted them to auxiliary positions, and their income was much lower than others, and everyone was afraid of this move."

Zhu Tiejun nodded and said: "That's right. What you can do in the original Hanhua company has expanded in scale. What can't be done? Let me give you an idea, you can set up a service brigade, The task is to do some auxiliary work for the company. If anyone is disobedient, you will let him go to work in the service brigade. There is only salary, no bonus, and he will be hanged for a few months like this. You can see that he is not honest.”

Lin Zhenhua gave a thumbs up and said, "Tall, Taijun is really tall."

Zhu Tiejun reprimanded: "Don't flatter you, kid. The country has entrusted such a large factory to you. If you can't manage well and fail to complete the export task, I'll see how you explain to the Light Chemical Department."

Of course, Lin Zhenhua knew that the reason he was able to receive such a large amount of support was because of the foreign exchange earned by the five-leaf fan, so he could not lose the chain on this issue no matter what.After solving the problem of Xunzi's employee status, he devoted himself to the production of fans with all his strength.

In order to support the export business of Hanhua Company, the Department of Light and Chemical Industry paid an export subsidy of 1000 million yuan in advance and gave the green light to the supply of raw materials.Lin Zhenhua put all the first export subsidy he received into expanding reproduction.

With the gradual completion of the merger with Xunzi, Lin Zhenhua moved all the production of electric fans to Xunyang.All the equipment and personnel from Fenghua have come here, and a batch of brand new machine tools have also been put in place. Hanhua Company has built two new production lines, thus forming an annual production capacity of 100 million electric fans.

Although the export contract signed by Hanhua Company at the Canton Fair is as many as 100 million units, not all of these fans will be delivered within this year. This year, Lin Zhenhua only needs to produce 50 units of five-bladed fans.In addition to the overseas market, Lin Zhenhua also did not give up the domestic market. He set aside a production capacity of 50 fans to focus on the domestic market in several major cities. The capacity of this market is also very large.

The news that five-leaf fans are selling well overseas has also played a role in promoting the sales of Water Lily fans in the domestic market. Xiong Lijun, Lan Wufeng, Chu Hongyang and others all took this news as hype in the markets of Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuhan. topic of.Under the plan of Lin Zhenhua, the evening papers in several places reported the deeds of Hanhua Company's success in the Canton Fair at great length, thus conveying the two concepts of "Hanhua" and "Water Lily" to thousands of households.

From early summer to late autumn, there was never a moment of peace in Hanhua's new factory. The workers worked in three shifts at full capacity, producing electric fans day and night.Large trucks with a load of [-] tons shuttle back and forth between Hanhua Company, the railway station and the wharf, pull the raw materials into the factory area, and send the finished fans to the train and ship.

The advantage of Xunyang City's proximity to the Yangtze River is fully brought into play at this time. During the wet season in summer, a 5000-ton barge fleet can go all the way back to Xunyang from the mouth of the Yangtze River.The five-blade fans of Hanhua Company are first transported to Shanghai Port through these barges, and then loaded on to ocean-going freighters and sail across the ocean to European and American countries.

Lin Zhenhua, who was busy and happy in 1982, bid farewell to the last snow in winter with his fellow workers and greeted another new year full of hope.

Many years later, people in Xunyang will still remember that on New Year's Eve that year, the fireworks set off by Hanhua Company were the most brilliant ever.
