Chapter 66 Re-employment
Wang Qinhu drove an American jeep and dragged Zhu Tiejun and Lin Zhenhua to a small restaurant.Three people walked in, Zhu Tiejun ordered two dishes, and then ordered four liang of wine, and Lin Zhenhua had two liang of wine.Lin Zhenhua secretly rejoiced that Zhu Tiejun was not so crazy drinking, or else he would have to get down.

Wang Qinhu wants to drive, so naturally he can't drink.Lin Zhenhua and Zhu Tiejun sipped and drank for a while, Zhu Tiejun calmed down slowly, and said to himself, "Oh, actually, I've figured it out, it's like a veteran in the army Similarly, when someone joins the army at the age of 18, and when he is in his 20s, he has to go back to get married and live a life. Although we know that it is not easy to train a good soldier, we have to let him retire. The same is true for workers. They should leave, no matter what. Can't keep it."

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's what I said, but it's a pity that Master Peng Gang, who is only 49 years old, is in the prime of life, and retired early just to replace his children."

"What if we don't let them quit? There are only so many recruitment quotas for a year, and there are still various related households who need to arrange people to come in. When it's our own employees' children, we can solve three or four jobs a year. We have more than 100 If you don’t take the path of being a replacement for an unemployed child, when will the arrangement be completed?”

"However, once these masters leave, many jobs are really out of control." Lin Zhenhua said, he is not the deputy chief of the technical department for nothing, and he has become more familiar with the technical situation of the Hanhua factory in the past few months. Now, I know that many of these workers have unique skills in their hands. Among the younger generation, there is really no one who can stand up to them.

"Isn't it? For example, Master Sun Changyuan in the metalworking workshop, a seventh-level fitter, all our centrifugal pumps are assembled by him. Once he leaves, the production of centrifugal pumps will become a problem." Zhu Tiejun said.

Lin Zhenhua knows this. Fitter is one of the oldest types of work in the industrial field. The development of machine industry in the past 100 years has eliminated many traditional manual operations, but the role of fitter has never been replaced.Even until the seven-axis, nine-axis, and eleven-axis CNC machining centers have been invented, some of the most precise molds, measuring tools, guide rail surfaces, bearing bushes, etc., still need to rely on excellent fitters to manually operate. processed out.

In the Hanhua factory, there was a somewhat legendary story: a chemical fertilizer factory in a certain place purchased a centrifugal pump produced by the Hanhua factory, and it was used very well at the beginning.Later, the mechanic of this fertilizer factory disassembled the centrifugal pump by himself, probably doing some maintenance work.After they put the centrifugal pump back as it was, they found that the noise of the machine was more than doubled, which was terrifying.

During a meeting of the Light Chemical Department, the director of this fertilizer factory talked about this matter, and he was somewhat critical of the product quality of Hanhua Factory.At that time, the director of Hanhua Factory was also present at the meeting, and when he heard this, he couldn't hold back his face. When he returned to the factory, he immediately sent a fitter to the fertilizer factory to check the condition of the machine.

It is said that after the fitter arrived at the chemical fertilizer plant, he asked the other party's mechanic to disassemble the machine again, and then stepped forward to lift a cylinder from the machine, put it back, and then asked the mechanic to install the machine for a test run.He just mentioned it like this, and after turning it on, the harsh noise disappeared miraculously.

This master fitter is Sun Changyuan that Zhu Tiejun mentioned.It seems very simple for laymen to mention and let go, but in fact there are many ways to do it.For high-speed rotating equipment, if the center of gravity is biased, there will be vibrations and loud noises. Sun Changyuan's ability lies in the fact that he can judge the position of the center of gravity by just weighing it with his hands, and then find a suitable one. Angle to fit the parts in.

This kind of technology cannot be learned by anyone who wants to learn it. To master it, one must have a wealth of experience, and the other must have a unique understanding. Those who possess both of these two points are the best workers.

However, such workers have to leave their jobs early because they have to make room for their children.

"Director Zhu, I think, for masters like Peng Gang and Sun Changyuan, the factory can agree to their retirement, but they can be rehired in the future." Lin Zhenhua suggested.

"Re-employment? What do you mean?" Zhu Tiejun didn't understand.

"Although these people have retired, but the factory still needs them, we have to do a re-employment so that they can return to work in the factory." Lin Zhenhua said that this method of re-employment is very common in later generations of scientific research institutes. Some old professors After retiring, the Institute will hire them back again, so that they can use their spare energy.Lin Zhenhua's mentor, Yao Heliang, is over 70 years old, but the old man is in good health, so not only was he hired back, but he was also able to guide graduate students.

"How is this possible? Who will pay them?" Zhu Tiejun shook his head and said, "After these people get sick and retire, they will definitely not stay at home. Maybe they will go to some township enterprises to help. The money given by the township enterprises Although it’s small, it’s money after all.”

"Our factory can also give money." Lin Zhenhua said, "Re-employment is paid according to the formal employment. I think that if people like Master Peng are paid similarly in the factory, they will definitely be more willing to return to work in the factory. , won’t go to small factories in villages and towns. I have also come into contact with those small factories in towns and villages, and they all produce some small agricultural machinery. How can the things produced by our Hanhua factory be enjoyable?”

Zhu Tiejun said: "Your idea is very good, but where does the factory get the money from? There are regulations for all expenses in the factory, and there is no such expenditure item as re-employment at all."

"This is a troublesome matter." Only then did Lin Zhenhua realize that he was too naive. In the early 80s, state-owned enterprises had a lot of rules and regulations, and they were not as flexible as later generations.If you want to hire a retired employee, you need at least the approval of the Lightning Department, and the troubles in this process are simply unimaginable.

Zhu Tiejun sighed: "Our company is like a child bride-in-law, even worse than a child bride-in-law. There is only one mother-in-law above the child bride-in-law, and there are dozens of mother-in-laws at the top of our company. Anyone can control you. You can move at will. No. If I were to be the leader, I would let the company figure out its own way, as long as you can do a good job in production and don’t violate national policies, you can do whatever you want.”

Another private economist, Lin Zhenhua secretly exclaimed.In fact, under the environment at that time, there were a lot of state-owned enterprise leaders who had ideas like Zhu Tiejun's. The famous "Jiao Factory Director's Appointment Notes" reflected this desire to implement the factory director responsibility system.In September of this year, the State Council approved and forwarded the State Economic Commission's "Report on the Pilot Work of Expanding Enterprise Autonomy and Future Opinions", proposing that starting from 9, the work of expanding enterprise autonomy should be fully implemented in state-owned industrial enterprises. Promotion, so that enterprises have greater autonomy in terms of personnel, property, production, supply and marketing.According to the report, pilot enterprises have the right to decide their own organizational setup and staffing, appoint and dismiss cadres at and below the middle level, and have the right to dismiss employees in accordance with labor discipline.Compared with the mechanism of state-owned enterprises today, the expansion of corporate autonomy back then was nothing more than a trivial matter, but it was an important step after all.

"Director Zhu, we can't wait for the national policy. I wonder if we can try to solve this matter within the scope of the factory's decision." Lin Zhenhua said.

Zhu Tiejun picked up the wine glass, looked at Lin Zhenhua, and suddenly there was a smile on his face: "Why, Xiao Lin, do you have any crazy ideas?"

Lin Zhenhua repeatedly complained: "Director Zhu, you can't look at me like this? It seems like I am full of conspiracy."

Zhu Tiejun said: "It's not a conspiracy. You have a lot of conspiracy. I think your ideas are very active. Tell me, is there any way to keep these old masters from leaving our factory?"

Lin Zhenhua hesitated for a moment, then said, "Director Zhu, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's the right time."

"What do you think."

"Our factory is a state-owned enterprise, and various regulations are very strict. But the labor service company of our factory is a large collective, and the autonomy of operation is relatively large. Can we hire these masters back in the name of the labor service company? The service company will send them a re-employment fee, isn’t that all right?”

Zhu Tiejun thought for a while, and said: "What you said is a way, but it probably won't work. The purpose of our establishment of the labor service company is to give job opportunities to the unemployed young people in the factory. The labor service company provides these small It doesn’t matter if the young people are paid, and no one said anything. But if these retired workers are also included, it is estimated that the Lightning Department will not be able to pass the test.”

"Isn't collective ownership enterprises managed by the factory independently? What right does the Light Chemical Department have to interfere?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Zhu Tiejun said: "You don't understand this. The labor service companies of all factories are the same. They say they are independent accounting enterprises, but in fact they can't make any money at all. They are all supported by the mother factory. There is no light chemical department. Nod, can we transfer the profits to the labor service company? This time, Peng Gang and the others are retiring, and the Qinghua Department is very unhappy. If the first step is to complete the retirement for them, and then they come back to continue to receive wages, the Qinghua Department We will definitely settle accounts with us."

"Then, if the labor service company can make money on its own, will the light department take care of it?"

"If you can make money yourself, the Department of Light and Chemical Industry may not take care of it." Zhu Tiejun said, "However, our labor service company makes popsicles in summer and greening in spring. How much money can we make?"

Lin Zhenhua chuckled: "Director Zhu, I have an idea. I want to contract a labor service company and guarantee that it will become a cash cow within a year. Can the factory agree?"
