Chapter 246
Liu Xinyu whispered in Yang Dongsheng's ear for a while.

"So suddenly?" Yang Dongsheng looked at his form, and he still had a chest X-ray that he didn't take.

The County People's Hospital only arranged for one X-ray machine for physical examination, and there was a long queue at the entrance of the chest X-ray. Yang Dongsheng just saw that there were many people in the queue, so he went to check other items first.

"I didn't want to be so ostentatious!" Yang Dongsheng walked to the front of the line, took out a few 100 cards, and shook them at the front of the line, "Who wants to change places with me?"

When he arrived at the City Oil Tank Factory, Liu Kang's younger brother was waiting for him at the door.

Red paper was pasted at the gate of the factory, and many workers huddled together to read it.

Naturally, Yang Dongsheng didn't have to squeeze with them. Liu Kang's younger brother took Yang Dongsheng to an office and showed him the original document.

After reading the title of the document, Yang Dongsheng was taken aback.

What was originally called mixed reform has now been changed to direct sale.

Guazhou has always been a laggard in terms of reform, so why is it leading this time?
Yang Dongsheng looked at Liu Kang's junior brother, "Is this what you fought for?"

"No!" Liu Kang's junior quickly shook his head.

Presumably, in the case of mixed-ownership reform, state shares can also play a supervisory role. Even if they fight for it, they are trying not to completely sell it to private individuals.

Looking further down, this document mainly has the following meanings: first, all debts of the factory must be assumed; second, no employee can be dismissed; third, the average monthly salary of employees cannot be lower than 120, and retirees are given preferential treatment.

"How much is the oil tank factory's debt?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"I don't know." Liu Kang's junior shook his head.

"How many people are there in your cylinder factory?"

"Less than 500 are employed, and more than 1400 are retired!"

"So many!" Yang Dongsheng was taken aback.

Calculated in this way, wouldn't it mean that 1 working person needs to support 3 retired people?

Speaking of which, the history of Dongsheng No. [-] Mine is much longer than that of the Oil Tank Factory, but the Mining Bureau is still there, and the retired workers are all supported by the Mining Bureau.

"Where's the bearing factory?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"I don't know exactly how many are at the bearing factory, but they have more people than us!"

"There are more retired than you?"

"Yes!"

"If you have no complaints, throw it away!"

After a day of running, it was already completely dark, so Yang Dongsheng found a hotel in the urban area to stay, and saved himself from running back and forth tomorrow.

Yang Dongsheng already had a complete understanding of the situation of the two factories.

There are about 1000 employees in the oil cylinder factory and the bearing factory plus one.

Yang Dongsheng is not afraid of these more than 1000 people, as long as they are working, let alone 120 a month, 1200 a month, Yang Dongsheng will recognize it.

But those who have retired and don't work for Yang Dongsheng for a day have more than 3000 people.

Our country only began to implement the contract system for state-owned enterprises in 1986, and paid pension insurance for employees. Many retired before.

What's more, pension is only a small number, and the real big head is medical care.

Based on the life expectancy of our country, these people still have decades to live, and they will definitely survive the medical reform. At that time, the annual medical expenses will be too scary.

Coupled with the material fees owed to upstream enterprises, as well as water and electricity fees, it is several million.

Yang Dongsheng really doesn't want to buy a cylinder factory or a bearing factory now.

Then there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Liu Kang's younger brother and a man in his 50s outside.

"Mr. Yang, this is my master!" Liu Kang's younger brother introduced the man to Yang Dongsheng.

It is a common practice for masters in industrial enterprises to bring apprentices. No matter how educated you are, as long as you go to the front line, a master will be arranged for you.

When Yang Dongsheng first entered the mine, he arranged a master when he went to practice underground.

In these old state-owned enterprises, this level of master-student relationship is extremely valued.

In his previous life, Yang Dongsheng and his company had a master at the head of their company. He didn’t even graduate from elementary school, but he worked as the deputy director of the company’s production department. It is said that he often didn’t see anyone for a whole day. When he came occasionally, he just spent the day with a newspaper. Receive salary, receive bonus.

One day, if Yang Dongsheng also develops, his master will probably ascend to heaven along with him.

"Hello!" Yang Dongsheng stretched out his hand to the man.

These were a pair of rough hands. Yang Dongsheng noticed that the man's index finger was missing, and the joints of the other fingers that were intact were also severely deformed.

Yang Dongsheng had seen this situation in the machinery factory.

Operating a machine tool in this era is not only a technical job, but also a physical job. When a worker retires, if he can have all 10 fingers, it will be a very proud thing.

"Mr. Yang, I would like to ask, do you want to buy an oil tank factory?" Liu Kang's junior asked.

"It's not that I don't want to, to be honest, the burden is too great!"

Yang Dongsheng talked about his worries. Of course, Yang Dongsheng would not talk about things that haven't happened yet, like medical reform.

"Mr. Yang, if we promise not to report medical expenses, can you buy the oil tank factory?" The old worker suddenly asked.

"Why?" Yang Dongsheng was taken aback.

"The oil tank factory has not reimbursed us a penny of medical expenses for several years!" The old worker smiled wryly.

Yang Dongsheng bought the oil tank factory, without medical expenses, at least he can still get a retirement salary.

"You don't want to, but the city requires preferential treatment for retirees. If it spreads to the city, I'm afraid it will still be my mistake. I have a way. Are you willing to listen to it?"

"You say!"

"I want to buy out your retirement salary and medical expenses all at once?"

"Buy out?"

"Yes! According to the current price of goods and medical expenses, according to your age, the life expectancy announced by the country, and the inflation rate, I will buy it out from you all at once. You take this money and do something small. Whether it’s a good business, buying stocks, or buying a house, it’s far safer than relying on a company!”

It is very appropriate to buy out with the prices of commodities, medical expenses, and life expectancy in this era.

Although it was a bit of a loss to do so, as the manager of the enterprise, Yang Dongsheng must do everything possible to reduce the burden on the enterprise.

Before the old worker said anything, Liu Kang's younger brother said first, "Mr. Yang, retired workers may not be a burden on the factory! Just like my master, although he has retired for almost ten years, every time the factory encounters a big job , I have to invite him back..."

"Wait a minute!" Yang Dongsheng suddenly discovered a question from Liu Kang's words, "Retirement is almost ten years! When did your master retire?"

This worker looks like he is in his early 50s. How could he have retired for almost ten years?
"In order to make room for my son, my master retired from illness when he was in his forties!"

The policy of replacing parents as successors began in 1956, and the large-scale replacement of parents did not begin until 1978 when the state issued relevant policies.

In order to make room for their children, many young and vigorous workers had to retire early, resulting in a sharp decline in the quality of workers. In 1986, the state had to abolish this policy.
