Chapter 901 Start of Construction (Part 2)

Xiangjiang has had a system of competition for jobs and competition for layoffs for a long time.

When every factory encounters employees who do not meet its needs, the first reaction is to fire them and then find new workers to replace them.

In the world of capital, there is no warmth at all, only bare interests.

However, the most direct response to such profit-oriented goals is that Hong Kong's industry has developed rapidly, becoming one of Asia's electronics and small commodity industrial bases in the 1970s and 1980s, and becoming one of the Four Asian Tigers.

It is difficult for us to assess whether this development direction is the most correct.

Because Japan, just next door, adopts a completely different set of measures.

No matter when, no matter what the fault, no matter what shortcomings, unless it is absolutely necessary, you cannot fire an employee.

This is the business philosophy proposed by Konosuke Matsushita. After decades of practice and development, it has taken root and blossomed in Japan's corporate and factory systems.

Logically speaking, this kind of loose system will not easily motivate workers to work - anyway, I won't be fired if I don't work hard, and I can still get a salary, how good is it?

But the result is exactly the opposite. From the 1950s until 2020, Japan has been the most famous industrial machinery power in the world.

Except for Germany, which can compete with Japan, no other country can compare with Japan in the industry, machinery, and electronics industries.

This is a shameful fact. When we happily celebrate ourselves as the "number one manufacturing country", we never dare to say that we are better than Japan in these technical fields.

We can surpass Japan and Japan in aerospace technology, but in some industries, if we can't do it, we just can't do it.

If it doesn't work, just keep trying to catch up. There is never any shame.

Talk back to the present.

Therefore, Japan can become the best in the world by relying on a loose system, and Hong Kong can also become a bright spot by relying on a strict system.

Both systems have very clear pertinence, but they have both succeeded.

There are many, many reasons for this, but in Yin Jun's opinion, this will ultimately fall on people.

Yes.

The main body of society is people.

The main body of production and work is people.

Why can Japan, with such a loose employment system, still catch up with a series of industrial powers and become one of the best?

Aren’t they just insisting on their own cultural education and quality education?

Cultural education enables people to understand and practice more accurately.

Quality education enables people to have a strong sense of identity with their work and their factory, and truly regard the company as their home, which unleashes strong work ability and team spirit.

In fact, there are times like this in our country.

That was the 1950s and 1960s. During that difficult time, a large group of factory workers gritted their teeth and worked hard to build up the industrial foundation of the impoverished China.

Especially the aerospace industry and the technology of the Two Eggs, especially the Two Eggs, have allowed China to truly stand up and no longer worry about external military crises.

Without a strong spirit of dedication and teamwork, this would be impossible to achieve, and China would become second-rate and never get up again.

But, there is one thing to say.

In the past ten years, this dedication and seriousness have been challenged. The ten years from now will be the decade that caused the collapse of China's state-owned factory system.

All kinds of chaos make people look sad 30 years later.

Once the spirit that supports the workers dissipates, then we will no longer be like Japan, but will become a real pile of waste factories, beaten to pieces by fierce market competition, with thousands of workers When a factory goes bankrupt, it is the workers who suffer in the end.

…

It is now 1981, and the people are still generally simple.

Being able to enter the factory, say goodbye to idleness all day long, say goodbye to the days of farming in front of the loess, and work cleanly and decently, is such a dream job for these 10,000 workers.

The most important thing is that the salary is so high. The internship period is 50 yuan a month, which is equivalent to regular employees in other factories or supply and marketing cooperatives! By the time they officially join the workforce, their salary is at least 80, which is more than the combined income of their parents and brothers in the countryside.

Who do you think is willing to give up such a job? Who wants to be eliminated?

They have endured the previous study of culture and English, and now they are finally going to work, officially receiving high wages, and about to be eliminated. Who can bear it?

Not only are they a little panicked here, but Huo Jianning and the others also feel a little trapped in themselves.

Over the past few months, they have been carefully observing their employees.

Those whose hands and feet are not flexible, those who are lazy at work, those who do not know how to do things, those who like to be clever...these are not the workers that Kirin Electronics needs.

But the problem is that no matter how much inspection and screening is done, at most 500 people will be unsuitable, and the rest will all be qualified.

According to the standards of workers in Xiangjiang, they are definitely the best workers. Compared with the group of workers in Qilin Industrial Park, they are not inferior in any way.

You must know that the workers in the Kirin Industrial Park at the foot of Lau Fau Shan have long been the signature of Xiangjiang. Every time foreign inspection groups come, the government people will definitely take them to the Kirin Industrial Park to show them what Xiangjiang has to offer. What great workers.

Although they are not as good as Japanese workers in terms of cultural level and potential for advancement, apart from Japanese workers, they are also one of the strongest.

The excellence of these workers is related to Yin Jun's welfare benefits and the strict system of Qilin Group.

But the salary of the current group of workers is more than ten times worse than that of Xiangjiang, but they are still doing so well, which makes Huo Jianning and others reluctant to cut off the redundant staff.

It's just that it's a bit outrageous for you to say these words out loud and then take them back casually.

Besides, the Kirin Electronic Radio Recorder Factory really doesn’t need so many people.

The current 60 production lines are operating at full capacity. With everything included, 8,000 people are a bit rich, let alone more than 9,400 people.

Businessmen in Xiangjiang hate waste the most.

What to do, Huo Jianning finally had no choice.

Now that he has been in the mainland for more than half a year, he is already very aware of the folk customs here. If the workers who have entered the factory are fired rashly, it will easily cause big problems.

This is not about whether you are justified or not, but this kind of thing is difficult for workers to accept.

In the end, he really had no choice. Seeing that the official start of production was coming, but there was still no explanation, and the workers' mood became more and more unstable. Huo Jianning could only call back to Xiangjiang and ask Yin Jun what to do. Yes, do you want to call the province and ask them to help demobilize these people?

Yin Jun rejected the idea upon hearing this.

He is more familiar with the situation in the mainland than Huo Jianning. Although Kirin Electronics has said it before and there is nothing wrong with eliminating so many workers, the eliminated people will cause a lot of trouble. The government is very worried.

Even the government will not blame Kirin Electronics, but it is definitely uncomfortable.

This is also Huo Jianning's fault. If you want to eliminate people, recruit 8,000 people first. After they are eliminated, you can add them according to the number. Why recruit 2,000 more people?

Now you have given people hope, and they have worked hard, but in the end you have to eliminate the already qualified workers, and no one can figure out who to replace them with.

Therefore, Yin Jun directly told Huo Jianning to keep these more than 1,500 people as backup candidates for the third shift.

It seems a bit wasteful now, but there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, the music tape production line and recording workshop will start next year, and these workers just go to these two factories to work.

With the boss's permission, Huo Jianning escaped.

He quickly announced the incident with a loudspeaker in the factory area, and immediately notified the more than 500 unqualified employees to let them quit.

With such a clean and tidy handling, except for the frustration of the more than 500 unqualified employees, most of the rest were happy, and the grievances of these more than 500 people did not affect the normal operation of the factory at all.

The leaders of Lin'an City secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qilin Electronics handling it this way. They were also worried that this would cause problems. Fortunately, it has been solved very well now and everyone is happy.

After settling the matter with the workers, Kirin Electronics Lin'an Radio Recorder Factory chose an auspicious day and officially started lighting firecrackers and producing them.

The annual production capacity of 16 million cassette players is enough to make any cassette player factory in China fearful!

Even in the first few months, adaptive production only used half of the machines at most, but the trend of cassette players has begun to spread its influence.

Whether it is from Shanghai, Jiangdong, or other cassette player and radio factories, they are all paying close attention to Kirin Electronics.

They don't know what this electronics factory from Xiangjiang is like about its technical capabilities, product quality, price... they don't know these issues.

Because this is a factory in Xiangjiang, they prohibit any unrelated persons from entering the factory except for some leaders who will take a look.

Unlike these factories in China, no matter which factory they are, they are all brother units. We can visit them casually and learn from them. I will learn your technology.

In fact, they are not particularly worried.

As for the Xiangjiang factory, various costs are high. Although the products produced may be better, their prices are expensive.

Our prices are very cheap and are aimed at ordinary people.

The sales targets of both are different, so why should there be market conflict?
