The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 420, Changing of Guards

"Well, I was assigned to the sand casting workshop of the steel rolling mill, and I am a temporary sand casting worker."

As soon as he said this, the third uncle and his family looked a little embarrassed. This job can be said to be a job that no one can do, and it is not much better than Jia Zhang's excrement worker.

Jia Zhang's job of digging out feces was at most dirty and smelly, but not too tiring. But Yan Jie's job was really hard and tiring.

With his small body, he can do some ordinary work, but if he enters the sand foundry workshop, he will shed his skin even if he doesn't die.

Not only do you have to face the high temperature for a long time, but you are also in danger of being burned by flowing and splashing iron juice at any time.

This is not a job that just anyone can hold on to, let alone an unregistered temporary worker.

Hearing this, Li Weiguo understood. No wonder the third uncle and his wife couldn't wait to find him as soon as he came back.

But he also understands that these days you don't have to choose the jobs assigned by the school. Those who have connections and backgrounds can be assigned better, and those who don't have the background are just random.

Whatever comes your way is what it is. If you are not satisfied, you will find a way out.

And now is not the time after the [-]th Anniversary Games, when various intellectual classes are divided and cultural people are very valuable.

At this time, the status of high school students can be said to be very embarrassing.

Professionally, they are not as good as technical secondary school students, and academically they are not as good as college students. Speaking of cultural level, it is a little bit, but not that extraordinary.

Generally, job recruitment units give priority to universities and technical secondary schools in allocating job quotas. After completing the set targets, the remaining ones will be assigned to high schools.

High school graduates like Yan Jiecheng and others just took advantage of the best place in the imperial capital. Otherwise, in some cities and counties below, they might not even have the opportunity to be assigned jobs. After graduation, they would just go back to where they came from.

If you have connections at home, that's fine, and you can ask for help on your own, but if you don't have connections, you can only wait in line and wait for arrangements from the street and commune.

So this is why Li Weiguo insisted on letting Yu Yu go to college.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo struck a match, lit up the cigarette, turned around and asked, "Third uncle, what do you want to do? Do you want to transfer Jie Cheng to a different position, or do you want to find him a formal worker?" "

Yan Jiecheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Li Weiguo's question, but before he could be happy for two seconds, the third uncle gave his answer.

"Just swap it, just swap it, haha."

The third uncle actually really wanted to have a formal job establishment, but the cost of a formal job is not small, often hundreds or even thousands. The couple has been frugally living and saving for decades, and they have a little savings, but they don't dare to Made in one go.

After all, there are three children behind him. It costs money to study, eat, and even find jobs for them and start a family in the future, so they can only give Yan Jiecheng a temporary job that is easier to do first.

Although there is no establishment for temporary positions, as long as you do a good job, there is still a chance to become a regular employee.

Li Weiguo nodded and understood: "Okay, where do you want to exchange Xie Cheng? Do you have any intention?"

The third uncle rubbed his hands with a smile, considered for a moment, and then cautiously tried:

"Haha. Section Chief Li, you don't need a good position. We have discussed it together and want to change to a position where I can learn a trade so that Xie Cheng can support himself in the future. You are widely known in the factory. Duo, I wonder if you have any good recommendations?”

After saying that, the third uncle, his wife and Yan Jiecheng looked over expectantly, wanting to hear his opinion first.

But after hearing what he said, Li Weiguo couldn't help but complain: "Third uncle, your scope is too broad. There is no job that you can't learn a craft from. Sand casting is also a good craft. After you do it well, you can become a regular employee. master."

It's just a change of position, which is nothing to Li Weiguo, but he doesn't want to take over everything, and he doesn't want to give the third uncle any ideas.

If you want to arrange work, you can say what you want yourself and pay the appropriate price. If you can succeed, others will arrange it for you for the sake of friendship. If you can't, let's put it another way. There is no saying that others will help you with ideas.

As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

If the recommended job is suitable, that's fine. If it's not suitable and you're in the wrong industry, wouldn't it mean that you're not a good person inside and out?

The third uncle obviously also thought of this, and he apologized, and then talked about his intention:

"Chief Li, what do you think of the electrician team in the steel rolling mill? Is there any chance to give it a try?"

electrician?

Hey, the third uncle knows how to choose.

Being an electrician is a popular job. It doesn't require much work all year round. Not only is the job easy, but you can also earn a lot of extra money when you go out to take on private jobs, which is no less generous than the members of the Eighth Army.And due to the scarcity of electricians, one advantage of working in an electrician group is that no matter you are a temporary worker or an apprentice, or how long you have been working, as long as you can get an electrician certificate, you can immediately go through the formalities to become a regular worker. .

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said: "Third uncle, you can give it a try, but the electrician group is not as good as other positions. It will cost a lot to change. You have to think clearly."

"And if Jie Cheng wants to continue working as an electrician, he will have to study for a certificate by himself. There is no such thing as an apprenticeship that will automatically become a full-time job after three years. Without a certificate, you will not be able to become a full-time employee in your lifetime."

This was not because Li Weiguo was fooling them. Due to the dangerous nature of their work, electricians could not become regular workers just by putting in the time.

If you don't have an electrician's certificate, even if you become a regular worker, other people's masters won't let you get started.

What if your second knife doesn't even pull the switch, and accidentally touches the wire, and it snaps and disappears, who can tell this clearly.

The third uncle obviously also knew this. When he heard that there was something going on, he nodded in agreement: "Hey, I understand, Section Chief Li, don't worry, we will definitely urge Xie Cheng to study hard."

Yan Jiecheng, who was on the side, was even more happy when he saw that he did not refuse. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Chief Li, don't worry. Although my grades are not very good and I have no hope of getting into college, my grades in high school are still average. I can take the self-study exam." An electrician’s certificate is definitely no problem, but we just need a master to lead the practice.”

Li Weiguo saw that they had a plan, so he simply didn't stop them, as long as you could afford the price.

So he pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, third uncle, our two families have been neighbors for more than ten years. For your sake, I will help you go to the Personnel and Administration Department to ask you."

"But you also know that I work as a security guard. The personnel in this factory are not under my control. If you want to transfer from the sand foundry workshop to the electrician team, we can't talk to them in vain in the Personnel Administration Department. .You think so?"

Although the third uncle is usually very picky, he is still familiar with some unspoken rules in the workplace and society. When Li Weiguo mentioned it, he immediately understood what it meant, so he nodded in agreement without saying a word:
"Hey, I understand, I understand, Section Chief Li, I'd like to thank you very much for your help. I can't embarrass you. We must be unambiguous in what we should express."

"That's right. Even we don't know much about the market conditions here. How about you give me some pointers? What is the approximate number needed?"

Li Weiguo did not reply immediately, but touched his chin and thought for a moment before replying: "Ordinary temporary workers can change positions with each other. You can do it for a few dozen yuan, but electricians are different from other types of work, even if they are just electricians. The temporary workers in the group are also very popular. If you think about it, it is at least this number."

With that said, Li Weiguo held out three fingers to him.

Seeing the shock and pain on the faces of the third uncle and the third aunt, he continued: "Third uncle, you also know that the electrician's profession cannot be achieved by just reading books and self-study. It requires certain practical experience."

"These three figures are not only for the Human Resources and Administration Department, but they also include the apprenticeship fee for guiding others, so don't be too expensive. If you find someone by yourself, if it is less than this amount, people may not pay attention to it. you."

As he spoke, Li Weiguo opened his palm and gave him a five sign.

The third uncle, the third aunt, and Yan Jiecheng looked at the five that he gestured towards, and their eyelids jumped with fear. The price of a temporary worker from an electrician team was almost as high as that of a regular worker. Who wouldn't be frightened to see it.

However, Li Weiguo didn't fool them. He was conservative about this number. More often than not, you may not be able to find a way out even if you have money.

Electrician is a very rare profession. If you want to get an electrician certificate, you need to have a high school diploma.

Who wouldn’t want to squeeze into such a popular profession? Whenever there is a vacancy for temporary workers or apprentices, the human resources department will give priority to those who have a relationship with them as soon as possible. Others will always take the back seat, even those who are close to them. No qualifications.

And it doesn’t mean that you have a high school diploma and have the qualifications to take the electrician certificate. Once you get in, other electricians will definitely teach you.

Since ancient times, there has been an old concept between craftsmen and technicians: teaching apprentices to starve the master to death.

Therefore, if you want to learn technology, you need to rely on connections to get in. You will also need to show the necessary support.

It's just like the two fools in the original drama who went to the countryside and returned to the city to learn projection technology from Xu Damao. But after this guy learned a little bit, he turned around and ignored all the filial piety given by his fellow villagers, and didn't show any respect to Xu Damao. Keep.

Is this the only one who can tolerate you?I'll kick you out before I even turn around.

The third aunt and Yan Jiecheng looked at the numbers that Li Weiguo gave them. For a moment, they lost their backbone, and they all turned to look at the third uncle.

The third uncle lowered his head and said nothing, constantly weighing in his mind whether it was worth spending 300 yuan to change this job.

Li Weiguo didn't press him, he just smoked his cigarette and let the third uncle think about it. After all, a matter of several hundred yuan is not a trivial matter, so it is normal to be cautious.

Mo Yue thought about it for three to four minutes. After weighing it, the third uncle finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, considering the bright future prospects of the electrician.

"Okay, Section Chief Li, I'd like you to help me make a trip."

With that said, the third uncle turned around and said to the third aunt: "My mother, go and get 300 yuan, hurry up!"

Seeing that her old man had made up his mind, the third aunt nodded and ran out. After a while, she came back.
