Chapter 67 Labor Service Company
Lin Zhenhua has actually thought about the matter of contracting a labor service company for a long time.After talking with He Haifeng, Lin Zhenhua thought about it seriously, and felt that it would be very difficult to join a private company now.The most basic one is that the means of production are allocated by the state, and all kinds of industrial raw materials cannot be bought even if you have money.It is possible to engage in trade, but at best, it is like what Xiong Lijun and Lan Wufeng are doing, selling some small commodities from the south. Lin Zhenhua thinks that he is not good at this aspect.What's more, he has already hired Xiong Lijun and others to do it, so there is no need to do it himself.

Since this path of private ownership does not work, the second way is to contract an enterprise.At present, the national policy on contracting state-owned enterprises has not yet been issued. In fact, this policy has to wait until 1987 before it is generally introduced throughout the country. Lin Zhenhua can't afford to wait.During this period, the enterprises that could be contracted were mainly township enterprises, which belonged to collective ownership enterprises, and the mechanism was much more flexible than that of state-owned enterprises.Lin Zhenhua is not a farmer, so he can't find a way to contract township enterprises, but in front of his eyes, there is actually a collectively owned enterprise, which is Hanhua Machinery Factory's own labor service company.

The form of labor service companies was very common in those days. The reason for their emergence, as Zhu Tiejun said, was to solve the employment problem of unemployed youth in cities and towns.From the day these companies were established, no one expected them to make money. The labor service companies run by the unit basically rely on maternal blood transfusions to survive. There are also some labor service companies run by streets and neighborhood committees. Such a project needs money from the finance to support it.

This kind of large collective enterprise can't talk about any business at all, it just does a little business symbolically to hide people's eyes and ears.It is said that a certain street set up a big bowl tea stand of a large collective nature, and placed seven young men as waiters. As a result, there were not as many tea drinkers as there were tea sellers.Seven young men poked at it. Those who knew it said it was a waiter, but those who didn't know it thought it was a gang fight. Who would dare to drink tea?

Regarding labor service companies, there is another very interesting title called "tertiary industry companies".The origin of this word probably refers to the tertiary industry, because factories belong to the secondary industry, and labor service companies generally provide some service items for factories, such as transportation and cleaning, which mostly belong to the tertiary industry.In this way, everyone is used to using the term "tertiary industry" to describe it.Some labor service companies gradually developed in the future and started manufacturing, but the name is still called "tertiary industry".

In the Hanhua factory, temporary workers such as Peng Shaozhe, Chu Hongyang, Zhao Yongqun, Yang Xin, etc., all have their identities attached to the labor service company, and their wages are paid by the labor service company in name, but in fact the money is all from the Hanhua factory. Profits are transferred in a disguised form.This kind of thing was also a customary practice at the time, and there was no need to hide it or hide it.

Lin Zhenhua took a fancy to the platform of the labor service company, but he has been hesitant, wondering whether this step should be taken.The matter of Peng Gang's retirement from illness touched Lin Zhenhua a lot and prompted him to make up his mind.He thought that as an ordinary traveler, he couldn't change history, but at least he could change the environment around him.His seemingly bold and reckless actions today will not be considered anything at all in a few years. Since he knows that the society is bound to open up, why should he confine himself like this?

After returning to Hanhua Factory from Nandu, Lin Zhenhua formally submitted a report to the factory department and applied for contracting the labor service company of Hanhua Machinery Factory.He promised that within one year, the labor service company will be self-financed, and Hanhua Factory will no longer be required to supply blood to the labor service company.At the same time, in addition to ensuring the payment of the wages of the current 100 temporary workers, he also has to bear the rehired wages of a group of old workers such as Peng Gang.The condition he needs is complete autonomy for the company.

"What does Xiao Lin want to do?" At the factory meeting, the factory director Chen Weiguo said in bewilderment, "I just promoted him to be the deputy chief of the technical department. Isn't that enough for him? He also wants to be the employee of the labor service company manager?"

Party Secretary Zou Shicheng said, "Does his request violate the policy?"

Jiang Manqing, the deputy director of the factory, said: "I checked the documents, and it seems that there is no rule saying that contracting is not allowed. Nowadays, many township enterprises engage in contracting. Our labor service company, like township enterprises, is also a collectively owned enterprise, so it should be able to contract. "

Chen Weiguo looked at Liang Guangping, called him by name, and said, "Old Liang, tell us your opinion too. You are in charge of labor and management. Do you think Xiaolin's request is feasible?"

Liang Guangping was playing with a Zippo lighter, which was given to him by Lin Zhenhua a few days ago.After going through some things, Lin Zhenhua finally learned to bow his head to the leader. From time to time, he would give the leader some gadgets to get closer.Liang Guangping once inquired about it secretly, and he knew that this lighter was made in the United States, and the surface was plated with sterling silver. It is absolutely unavailable in the domestic market, and the selling price in foreign countries is also hundreds of dollars.Ever since he got the lighter, in Liang Guangping's heart, Lin Zhenhua had become his own person. Naturally, he would unconditionally support his request.

"I think..." Liang Guangping put down his lighter, looked at the crowd, and said solemnly: "I think Comrade Lin Zhenhua proposed a contract labor service company to take the initiative to share the worries of the factory. This spirit is worthy of praise. Everyone knows that, Our labor service company needs to subsidize more than 3 yuan a year, which has always been a big burden for our factory. Now Xiaolin proposes that he can be self-financed within a year, which is a great thing.”

"Self-responsibility for profit and loss is probably enough." Chen Weiguo said, "This Xiaolin has a bit of a bad idea, and he might be able to make some money. But I don't think it is possible to earn more than 3 yuan in profit and realize self-responsibility for profit and loss."

"My opinion is the same as that of Lao Chen, and I think it is unlikely." Liang Guangping quickly echoed, "However, even if I can earn [-] to [-] yuan, it can reduce the burden on the factory. If the labor service company can earn The factory can reduce the subsidy, so our year-end bonus will be guaranteed.”

"Old Liang is right." Jiang Manqing said, "The labor service company is too heavily subsidized. This year is halfway through, and each worker in the whole factory can pay more than ten yuan per person. As a result, after the financial department settled the accounts, the profit It was all eaten up by the labor service company. Over half of the time, only one tea mug was distributed to each person. Alas, I was scolded to death by the workers."

This "Double Over Half" is also a very interesting name. The full name is "More than half the time, more than half the task", referred to as "Double Over Half".In many factories, some bonuses or prizes are given out for half a year, which is actually the meaning of the "half-year award" for later generations. Everyone has worked hard for half a year, and they will send some money and goods to comfort them.In the past, Hanhua Factory had to pay more than half of the double every year. In the past two years, due to the sharp increase in the number of labor service companies and the increasing subsidies in the factory, these bonuses have been squeezed out.

Zhu Tiejun was the last to speak. In fact, he had already exchanged views with Chen Weiguo and Zou Shicheng on this issue when he returned from Nandu.Now that everyone has expressed their opinions, he also said: "Let me say a few words. I am in charge of production. For this reason, I have more contacts with Xiaolin. My feeling is that Comrade Xiaolin is a moral character. It can be believed that he was able to get a CNC machine tool for the factory, which is enough to show that he is a good comrade who regards the factory as his home. In addition, Xiao Lin is very active in thinking. I think that he is likely to give We have some surprises in store."

"Okay, then let's vote." Zou Shicheng said.

Everyone raised their hands, and the factory affairs meeting unanimously approved Lin Zhenhua's contracting of Hanhua Machinery Factory's labor service company.The contracting conditions stipulated that if Lin Zhenhua failed to break even, all his annual bonuses would be withheld.If the labor service company can still make a profit in addition to paying the wages of all temporary workers, Lin Zhenhua can draw the contracting fee from the profit according to the prescribed ratio.

Originally, Lin Zhenhua first proposed to use all his salary as a mortgage for the contract, but the factory affairs committee directly denied this. The factory leaders thought that it was very good for Lin Zhenhua to shoulder the burden bravely. I'm so sorry Lin Zhenhua.

The resolutions at the factory affairs meeting had already spread throughout the factory before they were sent to the typing room to be printed into official documents.Men, women and children told each other: Lin Zhenhua, the young worker who created countless miracles, will become the manager Lin of the labor service company from now on.
