Chapter 900 Start of Construction (Part 1)

The best season of the year in Lin'an is March.

For example, "The Legend of the White Snake" sings "The beauty of the West Lake, come March..."

Spring in the south of the Yangtze River is a time that many literati and tourists yearn for.

Even in ancient times, countless students came from various water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to experience the beauty of China's mountains and rivers, so the most poems were left here.

This is also what Jiangnan literati are most proud of.

For example, Su Shi of Shuchuan is an unparalleled poet who is a master of poetry. However, because Su Shi served as governor in cities such as Lin'an and Jiangdu, Jiangnan literati felt that Su Shi was influenced by our beautiful rivers. The one who wrote so many great poems and lyrics.

If it weren't for Su Shi's "From now on, and after all eternity, there will never be another poem to chant the moon", "Shui Tune Song Tou? When will the bright moon come", it was written when Ludong was an official, and Ludong would not be considered Jiangnan. In this place, the noses of Jiangnan literati can reach to the sky.

However, June in Lin'an, at least June of 1981, was still very comfortable.

The weather is getting hotter now, but it is not as hot as July. In addition, there is not as much industrial pollution and greenhouse effect as in later generations. Walking under the sun at more than 20 degrees during the day is still a bit refreshing.

Baishi Lane is cooler because it is surrounded by farmland, but inside the "Qilin Park", it is now a bustling work scene.

Kirin Electronics only purchased 10 production lines from Philips with an annual production capacity of 100,000 radio cassette players. However, it purchased the core patents for the radio cassette production lines from Philips and other companies, and was allowed to produce radio cassette players on its own. At that time, it would only need to provide Philips with the number of assembled production lines. Their patent fees are enough.

After returning to the mainland, Huo Jianning visited a very famous domestic machinery factory in Shanghai. Witnessed by the machinery department and other relevant leaders, he signed a contract to develop and produce 50 cassette recorders with an annual production capacity of 300,000 units. production line.

In today's era, except for leaks, you don't have to worry about the inability of China's factories to do their job.

It only took them just two months to successfully develop and upgrade the technology provided by Philips. In just two months, all production and commissioning were completed, and the equipment was shipped to the Kirin Park by rail.

A few days ago, when Philips' general manager in the mainland came to inspect and collect patent fees, he couldn't help but be moved when he saw so many production lines in good condition being produced at such a fast speed. After finishing the work, he went directly to Shanghai. Hai, I'm ready to talk to you over there.

Compared with the cost in China, the European ones are really too expensive. If they can be commissioned to be produced in China and then shipped back to Europe, or to Japan, South Korea and other places, it will be a huge profit.

Businessmen are like this, they will never let go of any opportunity to make a fortune.

As for the work of domestic workers... I don't care what they do, that's the government's business!

Preparing the production line is one thing. For Huo Jianning, the more difficult problem is recruiting workers.

It's not that Kirin Electronics can't recruit enough people. In fact, the number of people who applied for the job exceeded 70,000!

There were only 8,000 people, but more than 70,000 came. They came not only from the surrounding areas of Lin'an, but also from many surrounding cities and villages.

Especially in rural areas, in some places, all the young and strong labor force from a village have come here.

And they all set up camp here in Baishi Lane. It feels like I won't leave if you don't let me work.

No wonder.

Nowadays, the average salary in Lin'an, which is thousands of kilometers away, is much higher in Lin'an. The average salary is about 50 per month.

But do you know how much Kirin Electronics gives?

The lowest starting price is 80 yuan, and the highest price can reach 500 yuan!

It is said that when this wage standard came out, the bosses in Lin'an City couldn't help but ran over and asked Huo Jianning if it was true, not to mention the ordinary people who flocked to the factory gate to ask for information.

They seriously disrupted the construction process.

Huo Jianning really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Now in 1981, the minimum salary in Xiangjiang was almost 1,800, with the most common being around 2,000.

Although the mainland currency is twice as high as that in Hong Kong, it is 80 yuan a month, which is 160 Hong Kong dollars a month. Such a price was even higher in Hong Kong ten years ago!

As for the highest monthly salary of 500 yuan, it is for highly skilled electronic component workers. They are usually the backbone of their respective electronics factories. If you were in Xiangjiang and you were missing 8,000 or 10,000 yuan a month, no one would even look at you. One glance.

But now in the mainland, 500 yuan is enough to make them flock to it. This is really sad and sad.

Anyway, after confirming such a high salary, more than 70,000 people came to sign up one after another. More than 20,000 of them were stationed directly near Baishi Lane. They ate water and steamed buns every day, or cooked some wild vegetables. I won’t leave anyway.

Lin'an City is really a headache.

They originally wanted to give local farmers and young people another path, but now they have found a good path. The treatment is so good, but almost 30% of the people come from several surrounding counties and cities.

You want to drive them away, but it’s embarrassing, but if you don’t drive them away, firstly, it will squeeze the welfare of our children in Lin’an City, and secondly, it will also easily lead to public security problems.

Finally, the matter was brought to the province. A group of big bosses in the province held a special meeting and finally decided to ask Qilin Electronics to try its best to give 60% of the quota to people in Lin'an districts and counties, and 40% to surrounding areas. The people of the county and city.

The people of Lin'an were very dissatisfied with this result, but the provincial bosses had to consider the overall situation, so they decided on it.

Once the recruitment is completed, those people gathered around Baishi Lane will be immediately sent back to their place of origin by the police uncles using semi-forced methods.

Huo Jianning also knows how to be a good person. He selected 10,000 people from the beginning. Although there were only 8,000 people, he considered that the quality of mainland workers was not high and kept an extra 2,000 people as backup.

After the training period of two or three months, there will be another round of survival of the fittest, and the remaining ones can basically be used.

But Huo Jianning completely underestimated the difficulty because he had stayed in the United States for a long time.

From the first day of training, the young guys and girls who seemed so smart turned out to be confused when the production line started.

If it weren't for a group of managers from Xiangjiang and the master craftsmen from the mainland, basically the ten production lines from Europe would have gone on strike one after another on the first day.

Huo Jianning, who had not hosted the interview or training, was very curious when he saw this. When he came down to ask, he was also stunned.

Of the 10,000 workers recruited, only more than 1,500 have primary school education, and the rest...most of the remaining workers can't even write their own names.

You said that workers who can't even read, how can they become familiar with the operation, how can they read the precautions, and how can they identify the key points of the production line?

Huo Jianning's mood at that time!

I almost wanted to fire them all and hired people from Xiangjiang at a high price.

But there was nothing he could do.

Recruiting 8,000 mainland workers is not only the ardent hope of the mainland, but also Yin Jun’s fatal order.

He can ignore what Mainland thinks. Even if Jiangnan is dissatisfied, the higher-ups will definitely suppress it. But the boss said so, so he can only do it.

So, the plan immediately changed.

He immediately asked Lin'an City to send 100 teachers to teach these 10,000 workers the knowledge required for the entire assembly line material preparation, production, inspection, packaging and other processes, including the recognition and pronunciation of Chinese and English.

Kirin Electronics has said from the first day that after one month of assessment, if anyone can't do it, he will be among the first batch to be eliminated, and he will receive a trial salary of 50 yuan and leave.

The factories in Xiangjiang are different from the factories in the mainland. The first point is that they can fire their employees at will. This matter is written on the recruitment form together with other precautions before recruitment. Everyone who is recruited knows this.

When I thought that if I couldn't do it, I would be fired, and I would be able to earn factory food again. These 10,000 workers were really nervous, and they worked hard to learn and memorize each one.

As a result, they once again broke Huo Jianning's guess... and they all passed! !

Whether they are 20 or 30 years old, whether they are male or female, they all passed the exam and no one was passed!

A group of managers in Xiangjiang still didn't believe it, so they all randomly checked more than a dozen people, and the results were the same, all of them passed!

Huo Jianning couldn't help but sigh, it seems that life and death can really force people to unleash their potential!

After studying, I went to the production line for the second time. Although there were still many failures due to the rush of each one, these small problems did not require the technicians hired by Kirin Electronics from Xiangjiang to deal with them. These mainland experts could fiddle with them at will. After a few clicks, the production line returned to normal.

It should be said that this group of technicians in Xiangjiang were very proud when they came. Although Yin Jun strictly ordered not to show any discrimination or arrogance, they felt that they were still higher than those from the mainland.

Then, Huo Jianning asked them to compete with the big guys poached from factories in the mainland...

Then, there was nothing more. They followed Daniel all day long. After get off work, they even invited him to drink and eat, and gave him some cigarettes or small things, just to learn more.

Amidst such bumps and bruises, after the workers got started, trial production began again.

Trial production has started for a while, and the machines from Shanghai have arrived again. Everyone is assembling them together, getting familiar with them, and producing...

After working so hard, June has arrived in the blink of an eye.

When it came time to start formal production, it was time to fire 2,000 unqualified employees.
