Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 592
Chapter 592 Not enough people, practice together
Naravani reluctantly paid Fukang Engineering $70 million for the purchase, and then greedily greedy the remaining $50 million for the purchase.
Of course, most of the 50 million US dollars was given to his cousin, and a small part fell into Nalavani’s pocket.
Cousin also needs to take out a sum of money from it and open up the corresponding network of contacts, so that the money can be used with peace of mind.
It’s just that once the door of greed is opened, it is difficult to close. Nalavani has already tasted the sweetness. The first time this kind of thing happens, there will be a second and third time, and he will be more and more greedy in the future.
Li Weidong transferred some of the orders out, and those companies that got the orders owed Li Weidong a favor. This favor is not big, but it has to be paid back. If you can help Li Weidong a little favor at a critical time, Li Weidong will be able to make a return.
After the exhibition, Li Weidong did not stay abroad either. He immediately returned to China to arrange production tasks. After all, it is a large order of tens of millions of dollars, and the delivery time is relatively tight, so we still need to speed up the production progress.
In the workshop, the workers were working in full swing.
“Our workers are very motivated. In recent days, they have been working twelve hours a day!” The workshop director introduced with pride.
The income of workers in the manufacturing industry has always been linked to the working hours, so the workers in the manufacturing industry often do not resist overtime work, because the more overtime work, the more income.
Of course, this law is limited to Chinese workers. Foreign workers are not as hardworking as Chinese workers.
Europe and the United States do not have a culture of working overtime. It may be possible to work overtime occasionally, but it is definitely not acceptable to work overtime every day like Chinese workers.
Overtime is a taboo in Latin American countries, and commuting time is absolutely unstoppable. If you say that you have a rest today, it is a rest. If you pay three times the overtime pay, no one will do it, and it will be impossible to take a break.
Not to mention Africans, not to mention overtime work, it would be nice to find someone in the days just after the salary was paid.
In Asia, as long as the local tyrants in the Middle East go to work, they are working overtime.
The overtime work of South Asians depends entirely on the rhetoric. They say that overtime is good, that overtime is wonderful, and that overtime earns more money. I want to earn overtime pay and make the boss bankrupt. It really makes them all work overtime.
In Southeast Asian countries, overtime is an accident, and strikes are the norm. If you don’t let them work overtime, they will all find excuses to hold various strikes and ask for better pay. If you let them work overtime, the factory will stop running and make fun of the union every day!
Probably only in East Asia, influenced by Chinese culture, will there be diligent workers who work overtime.
In the low-end intensive manufacturing industry, overtime is purely a pile of output, which is equivalent to making hard money.
But in the mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry, overtime means that orders are in short supply, and companies will gain huge profits.
Moreover, the mid-to-high-end manufacturing industries use skilled workers, and their overtime pay is much higher than that of labor-intensive industries. For example, the Indian order that Li Weidong brought back this time, after the successful completion, the bonus for the front-line workers is enough to buy two motorcycles.
Therefore, when the order came, Fukang Engineering immediately started overtime mode. The workers are also very self-conscious and work twelve hours a day without complaint.
After all, everyone is looking forward to completing this order and can send a large bonus.
The workshop director was watching the work, but Li Shouyi, the deputy director of production next to him, said, “Chairman, in fact, our manpower is still insufficient. Even if we work four hours of overtime every day, the time to complete the order is still a little stretched.
Now all the production capacity of the whole factory is concentrated on this batch of orders in India, and other production projects have basically stopped, and can only be done after this order is completed. ”
“Isn’t there any new staff recruited by the personnel department?” Li Weidong asked.
“We have recruited. We recruit every year, but the number is not very large, and the main skilled workers are not easy to find. In addition, the number of this order is too large and it came too suddenly, so that our production capacity cannot keep up in a short period of time.” Li Shouyi continued. Reports.
Li Weidong nodded. Construction machinery companies mainly use skilled workers. Daily work in workshops such as stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly requires certain skills.
In later generations, the degree of industrial automation is high. Even if there is no such technology, after a few months of training in the factory, you will be able to operate the machine and be competent for these positions.
However, in 1999, the degree of industrial automation of Chinese enterprises was not high, so many of the production work in these workshops needed to be done manually, so professional skilled workers were needed to operate.
In China, where vocational education is not yet developed, it is relatively difficult to recruit professional skilled workers. The talents that technical schools provide to the society every year are very limited, and the biggest source of skilled workers is the laid-off workers of other enterprises.
Moreover, Qinghe is not an industrial city. Even in the planned economy era, there were not many high-end manufacturing enterprises, and the number of skilled workers in the city was not large. Even after the wave of layoffs appeared, those with technology in their hands quickly found their next home.
In recent years, Fukang Engineering has been recruiting people. Anyone with some technology in their hands will definitely not refuse, and they can also meet normal production.
But with so many orders coming in this time, the manpower in the workshop is not enough.
Although the production needs of this order in India can be met by working overtime, the normal production of other products should be temporarily suspended until the order in India is completed before it can be resumed.
“If we suspend the production of other products, it will affect our normal sales in the country. This is not very good, and maybe part of the market will be lost!” Li Weidong frowned and thought,
After a while, Li Weidong said, “Well, I’ll find a way to temporarily transfer a group of interns. Some simple and errand work can be handed over to the interns. Find a few experienced masters to watch more. already.”
“Chairman, many positions in the workshop require some skills to some extent. Ordinary interns don’t understand anything. After coming here, not only are they useless, but they are likely to cause safety accidents, which is a disservice.” Li Shouyi said.
“Don’t worry, all the interns I transferred have studied technology.” Li Weidong paused, then said, “Don’t forget that I have a technical school, which also teaches electric welding and lathe operation. .
After a while, I called the technical school and asked them to send a group of students to help us with some simple tasks. Although they haven’t graduated, they are better than people who know nothing. They should be able to do simple jobs, so let them learn through practice! ”
“Chairman Gao Ming, this will not only solve the problem of our shortage of personnel, but also get a large number of free labor and save a lot of expenses. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!” Li Shouyi quickly flattered.
Li Weidong opened his mouth and said: “Old Li, don’t talk nonsense, I’m not Zhou Papi, I let them come for internships, not free work, we can’t exploit workers, so we have to pay internship wages during the internship, and in addition You have to control what you eat.
Although they came to intern, they used our resources, but we are such a big company, and we don’t have to save money in such a place. If you criticize the intern, you will not save a lot of money, and it will not sound good when it is spread, and it will damage the corporate image.
In addition, I am also thinking about choosing some of the better interns, and they will come to work directly in our factory after graduation, so I have to show the benefits of our factory so that we can retain people.
Go back and inform the workshops, don’t criticize the interns when they come, and don’t think they are free labor. Be nice to others, and teach a few words if you can.
In addition, let the workshop directors pay attention to the good seedlings. You can talk to them in advance about the employment after graduation, and strive to keep all the better students in our factory! ”
…
When it is time to employ people, the role of technical schools is revealed again.
Although the students of these technical schools have not yet graduated, they have received some professional training, and they can do some simple jobs in the factory.
Students with good comprehension, learn a little more from the master, maybe they can be competent for some ordinary jobs.
The addition of interns also liberates those formal workers, who do not need to do those simple jobs, which greatly improves the efficiency of production.
It will take more than ten years for China’s manufacturing industry to begin to transform to automation, and before that, factories still need a large number of workers.
The past ten years have also been a period of rapid development of China’s manufacturing industry.
In the past ten years, although China has developed the world’s first manufacturing industry and has become the world’s factory, the problem of lack of skilled workers has always existed.
Senior craftsmen are always in short supply. Any senior craftsman will be a treasure in the factory.
The gap between intermediate and low-level skilled workers is also huge. Although these intermediate and junior skilled workers will have longer working hours and greater labor intensity, the wages may not be very high, but the factory still welcomes skilled workers.
Therefore, domestic vocational and technical training has also been popular for more than ten years. Not only are there many people who learn to drive excavators, cook pastries, and learn beauty and hairdressing, such as the use of various machine tools, it is also a popular major in vocational technical schools.
Li Weidong is good at planning ahead. He invested in technical schools that year, and he also hopes that in the next ten years, the technical schools can provide technical talents for the companies under his command.
According to Li Weidong’s original plan, this move will probably not be used until after China joins the WTO. Unexpectedly, a large order from India made him activate this chess piece in advance.
…
Li Tie Niu originally planned to join the army, but he signed up but was not selected. So he came to the technical school to learn how to operate machine tools, which can be regarded as a craft of eating.
Among these academies, Li Tieniu is not the smartest. Fortunately, he is an honest person, and he is not lazy when studying. Therefore, after a series of theoretical studies, Li Tieniu finally entered the stage of field operation.
However, Li Tieniu had only touched the machine tool for a few days when he received a notice that he was going to the factory for an internship.
Li Tieniu is an honest child, and he didn’t understand and didn’t dare to ask, so he packed his luggage, got into a big white car inexplicably, and was then taken to the factory of Fukang Engineering.
Then Li Tie Niu was assigned to the workshop and followed a master surnamed Zheng.
Master Zheng was in charge of five interns at the same time. These five people were brought to Master Zheng, stood in a row, and began to roll their names.
“Li Tie Niu!” Master Zheng called on Li Tie Niu’s name.
“Here!” Li Tieniu replied quickly.
Master Zheng looked at Li Tieniu and asked, “What’s wrong with your head? Why are you bald? Is it a leprosy head?”
“There is no charge for haircuts at school, so I went and ended up being shaved like this.” Li Tieniu answered honestly.
“You can’t shave like this without paying for it! Is this using your head to practice your skills?” Master Zheng asked with a smile.
Li Tieniu nodded embarrassedly: “It’s because of the practice that I don’t need money.”
Master Zheng was stunned for a while, then he wanted to understand the key, and muttered to himself: “What an honest child.”
There is a beauty and hairdressing major in the technical school, where haircuts are free, to put it bluntly, it is to practice for those beauty and hairdressing students.
If you are lucky, you can shave a relatively normal hairstyle when you meet someone who has learned more solidly.
Li Tieniu met the latter. He just wanted to shave his head, but he was bald.
Master Zheng finished naming and said, “Starting today, you will start your internship. If you say it’s an internship, you’re actually following me as an apprentice!
In the old society, apprentices are not easy to become, they must be formally apprentices, and they must also be given apprenticeships. There is no salary during the apprenticeship, and after leaving the apprenticeship, the salary for the first three years must also be filial to the master.
It’s time for you to catch up with me, learn craftsmanship with me, you don’t need to send apprenticeship gifts, and you can get a salary for an internship. This is something that you can’t even think about in the past!
And you did a good job, I can recommend it to the factory. After you graduate, you can directly come to work in the factory, which is equivalent to assigning jobs to you!
You know, even college students are not included in the distribution these days. You went to a technical school, but you had the opportunity to assign jobs. You really hit the big luck. So you must study hard, work hard, and strive to stay! ”
After listening to Master Zheng’s introduction, Zhao Tieniu’s eyes flashed with excitement.
Others spend money to go to school, and he can still earn money, which is a good thing I have never heard of.
And if you do well, you will still have the opportunity to stay in the factory, which is equivalent to the assignment of work, so that should be the salary of 800 workers!
If it was put in more than ten years ago, it would still be very fragrant to be a worker in a factory. At least you can get a city hukou and eat “national treasury grain”.
After going through the wave of layoffs, although workers are worthless, for ordinary people with low education levels, it is still a very good way out to be a worker in a factory.
And I heard that the benefits of the Fukang project are not bad, and the treatment of workers is also very good.
Master Zheng said a few words of encouragement, and then took his five apprentices to the cafeteria to eat.
Then I saw five starving ghosts reincarnated!
“Eat slowly, everyone will **** from you, there are so many meals in the cafeteria!” Master Zheng looked at the five people with sympathy, and said, “Look, you are starving, don’t you get meals in the technical school? ”
“It’s not that there is no food, it’s that the food here is really delicious!” Li Tieniu said vaguely, holding a chicken leg.
“It’s delicious? I don’t think so! It’s probably my usual eating habits!” Master Zheng said.
Li Tieniu replied, “Master, don’t you know that the food we usually eat is either lacking in oil or lacking in salt, some of which are unfamiliar, and some are mushy! That steamed bun sometimes looks like a stone, with teeth!”
“Then the chefs in your school are too irresponsible!” Master Zheng turned his face and said, “No, your school doesn’t teach pastry cooking, why isn’t there a chef who can cook?”
“Master, it’s because there are so many people cooking pastries in our place that we can’t eat good food!” Li Tieniu sighed helplessly, and then said: “The dishes made by those who have learned to cook are taken to the cafeteria and distributed to us. ate!”
Master Zheng nodded suddenly: “Your school is quite good, you produce and sell yourself, at least not waste food.”
