Chapter 474 The Evil Beast Won’t Let People Celebrate the New Year
Perhaps to add some New Year atmosphere, it snowed again in the afternoon of New Year's Eve. The outer part of Wujia Lake was covered with white, and the center of the entire lake was like a huge mirror, which made it look very beautiful.
The "Liangliang Little Train" then opened its last trip, and even several middle-aged men wearing aprons waiting for dinner went up to enjoy it.
It was just a little cold, but everything else was impeccable.
After enjoying it, everyone went to the canteen to help with work, setting tables and serving dishes. The workers who stayed in Shacheng also discussed how much money they had saved this year.
Fan Zhenhua lit a cigarette and talked about accounts with his cousins who came from his hometown. They had saved at least 20,000 yuan this year.
The expenses throughout the year were not large, and the problem of food and accommodation was basically solved. There were still two buildings in the New Year, one for employees and the other for employees.
The laid-off workers of the Lezhu Agricultural Machinery Factory introduced by Fan Zhenhua now work around Fan Zhenhua, forming the "Lezhu Gang" in the front-line workshops. The scale is not large, but it is obvious that they have more say.
This kind of thing is inevitable, but Fan Zhenhua is also afraid of being accused of selling his niece, so he has always been low-key and soft-tempered as before.
The common problem of honest people is that they will not explode unless they are forced into a corner, and Fan Zhenhua is naturally the same. Fortunately, the atmosphere of the entire enterprise is very suitable for people who do things. Even if they smoke in the working area, they will be severely punished if they are found out. It is okay to smoke outside the yellow line at the factory gate, but you cannot smoke after entering, and outside visitors must also abide by it.
Just for this matter, the machinery factory fought with the troublemakers more than 20 times, and the police were almost crazy.
However, in the circle of factory bosses in Shacheng, they all know that the workers of "Wujia Machinery" stick together and will really fight together if there is something wrong.
Especially the subordinate "Wujia Agricultural Machinery", which also linked up with the harvesting teams of several villages to go on strike in the autumn. The reason was very simple. The overdue summer grain harvesting fees were not paid, and the harrowing fees were still being delayed.
Originally, no one knew what to do, and then a message came from the top that the strike was over. What's so difficult about it.
There is actually nothing wrong with the strike, and there is actually nothing wrong with the linkage. Usually the problem is that the demands are unclear and exaggerated.
Boss Zhang is quite familiar with this aspect of the business. He asked the training department and sales department of "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" to communicate with the harvesting teams in each village first. There is only one demand, to get back their share of the money, and nothing more.
No matter if it is ten times or eight times the compensation, I don't want it.
There are also harvesting teams in some villages who want to ask for a lot of money, but they are honest after being beaten.
The harvesting teams in each village are not an organizational entity. They are all temporary groups of various individual households. The ideas must be all kinds of strange. After uniting, it will be different. As long as the demands are unified, they will not step on the minefield casually.
At the same time, the higher-level government usually hopes to solve the problem as quickly as possible, so the clearer and more precise the demands are, the easier it is for the higher-level government to solve the problem.
Often, the reason why things drag on and get out of control is that the demands and opinions are not unified, which requires the higher-level government to design different solutions according to different people, so they keep delaying and end up with a mess.
The core problem is that the people who solve the problem don't want to take the blame. Ambiguous demands will lead to ambiguous handling methods, and finally to ambiguous responsibility issues.
The principle of "not doing it is not wrong" will never go out of date, as long as people are still doing things.
Therefore, "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" insisted that as long as the summer harvest fee was paid, the matter would only stay at the town and street level, and even the desks of various departments of the Shacheng Municipal Government would not have a single word.
Because it is easy to solve, the town and the street want to get things over with as soon as possible, so no matter whether it is borrowed, stolen or robbed, the money must be cleared first.
After that, it is a financial issue between the local village and town, which has nothing to do with the harvest fee.
Of course, it is not easy to do all this. The loose joint venture relationship of ordinary individual households is useless. They are all on guard against others harvesting three or five acres of land more. How can they help others?
The reason why "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" came out is very simple. Almost 60% of the local agricultural machinery drivers in the new century came from "Wujia Agricultural Machinery". First of all, there is a close relationship in terms of personal relationships; secondly, "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" has already reached other places, and many harvesting teams have gone out of the province to earn machine farming fees during the busy farming season. "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" is already a business distribution association at this time.
For example, the harvesting team in Andong County will have their own business. It is certain that they can earn tens of thousands of yuan locally, but there will be a difference of several days to dozens of days in the busy farming season in various places. For example, it is normal for the busy farming season in southern Henan and eastern Henan to differ by ten days, even if the climate and environment are exactly the same.
At this time, you have to rush to the market. After harvesting in eastern Henan, hurry to southern Henan. As long as a machine of an individual household is not broken, it is not a problem to earn 90,000 yuan at this time.
But the problem is that you can't make money. Don't even think about it if you rely on your personal ability.
Trailers, guides, personal safety, charging ability, etc., if you go to other provinces alone to earn this hard-earned money, you are likely to be a new century serf, and 99% of the time you work for nothing.
"My Family Agricultural Machinery" is different. You can directly go to a certain village in a certain township in a certain county, sign a contract, take 30% of the advance payment, and then schedule and call the harvesting team at the location of the Liangjiang Rural Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
"My Family Agricultural Machinery" does not pursue any high commission here, because the inspection and maintenance of agricultural machinery alone, plus the supply of fuel and equipment money, can make a steady profit.
In short, "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" is objectively a business association with the function of an agricultural machinery 4S store. The association will list its business in advance in the rural supply and marketing cooperatives before the busy farming season. The harvesting fees in different provinces and regions will vary from a few yuan to more than ten yuan, so you have to choose according to your own conditions.
After the people in the supply and marketing cooperatives sign and stamp on the registration timetable, they will register with the local county and city offices on a first-come, first-served basis.
Generally speaking, during the busy farming season, drivers in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the northern part of Liangjiang Province earn much more than those in the southern part, with an average of more than 30,000 yuan a year.
It is true that the south is relatively richer, but the arable land area in the surrounding areas is limited, and the distance to operate outside the province is also far, while the northern part can easily enter the Central Plains, Haidai, Huaixi and even Jibei, and can achieve extremely large quantities.
In an "expedition" organized by Wang Xi to the Central Plains Province, a couple's machine that harvested and plowed together achieved a performance of 220,000 yuan, which is currently the highest peak in Liangjiang Province, leaving the second place by a full 100,000 yuan.
In Wang Xi's words, it means harvesting in the fields even when sleeping.
These things were unthinkable in the past, but with "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" and the rural supply and marketing cooperatives behind it, the workers only need to consider doing the work well, and the rest, they don't have to think about it.
Over time, the extended organization is relatively higher, and it is easier to reach a consensus.
This is why the organization of the strike and the connection of the agricultural machinery teams in various villages did not cause any hot public opinion, nor did it intensify the worse conflicts between cadres and the masses.
Of course, the Shacheng Municipal Government also sent a working group to "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" to stay there, after all, they had to prepare for the evil beast surnamed Zhang to suddenly do something big.
So when Wujiadai was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, a group of farmers and workers in the Political Research Office of the Shacheng Municipal Government was still working overtime, because after the eighth day of the first lunar month, they had to come up with preliminary content on the integration of the "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" business platform.
It needs to be separated, but not completely separated.
Forced separation is not possible, as it violates market principles. After all, the scale of "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" is not too large, let alone monopoly; but it is not possible not to separate, as it is too easy to affect the agricultural order during the busy farming season in the region, unless more efforts are made to invest in the mechanization scale of grassroots rural areas, but this will greatly increase the financial pressure on county and township governments.
Governance is a place of high energy and intelligence. "Wujia Agricultural Machinery" has inadvertently opened up a new market. In Liangjiang Province alone, rural agricultural machinery teams have created a market of more than 200 million this year.
The people are a little poor, but there is still a demand for mechanical harvesting of rice and wheat, mechanical harrowing and plowing, digging ditches and canals. Grit your teeth and take a dozen or twenty yuan or a little more than a hundred or ten yuan. Different families have a little bit.
Although there are still human teams, such as transplanting rice, etc., they are all relatively delicate jobs, and rice transplanters are not more labor-saving and cost-saving.
But the local government has also done the math. In three or four years at most, if the current annual household income growth rate is followed, the cost of manpower and machinery for rice transplanting can be basically equalized, and the larger the scale, the more machinery will be saved.
Because the agricultural machinery teams of several villages went on strike in tandem, although this matter was not a big deal, in line with the principle of preventing problems before they happen, the task given to the city government secretaries by the Shacheng Municipal Government was to compress a policy that would take many years to complete within three months.
The preliminary research took more than two months, and the data summary was almost exhausting. Then I looked up the yearbook and related experiences. It was normal to work overtime on New Year's Eve and the first month of the year.
When the "Liangliang Little Train" finally returned to the awning, the young people in the Policy Research Office of the Shacheng Municipal Government were gnashing their teeth and working overtime while chewing the steamed buns for the New Year. They only dared to curse Zhang Haonan secretly in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say it out loud or complain.
God knows if there are any colleagues who are working overtime together who are flirting with Zhang Haonan.
For matters related to education and employment for the disabled, there are many people who go to Zhang Haonan to beg for alms all year round. These people are comrades, but they are not trustworthy.
Zhang is narrow-minded and holds grudges.
In addition to the Shacheng Municipal Government, the provincial government also has a lot of young people working overtime, and the information piled up in their hands includes but is not limited to LCD panels, beer industry, tea beverage industry, computer industry, transportation industry, agricultural and sideline products processing industry...
Last year, the province imported about 6,000 fresh blood. Since the beginning of this winter, three-quarters of them have not returned home.
The tasks imposed by the superiors are so heavy that no one dares to relax; and the big companies outside collude with the local government to make trouble at every turn. Many things are delayed, and all kinds of old leaders and old comrades come to question with various powerful departments.
There is nothing to discuss, they are all urging, and urging non-stop.
And most of the industrial plans are related to a guy who plays with women every day.
At the same time, a large part of the 6,000 fresh blood imported last year used to hang out in the Jiankang college circle.
As seniors, they once envied the reputation of "Brother Haonan".
Now, like the people in the Policy Research Office of the Shacheng Municipal Government, they cursed "Brother Haonan" with gnashing teeth.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the big canteen in Wujiadai had already started to prepare some snacks on the table in advance, such as fruits and snacks, as well as sesame cakes, cloud cakes, etc.
Of course, there was also a big screen showing CCTV's New Year's Eve special program and various rural interviews.
Originally, CCTV would come to Wujiadai Village to conduct live interviews this year. They would choose urban streets and rural areas across the country to conduct live interviews. However, Zhang Haonan refused and introduced him to Yushan City.
CCTV rarely agreed, and the superior departments had no objections. The reason is very simple.
For CCTV, Boss Zhang is now a major financial backer.
To the higher-level department, Boss Zhang is a representative, and this face must be given.
The mayor of Yushan City, Li Ninghua, even made a special trip to Wujiadai on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month to express his gratitude. In fact, Zhang Haonan and Li Ninghua have always had a good relationship. They worked together happily when he was the former deputy mayor of Shacheng.
Now it's just a matter of further deepening our friendship.
Furthermore, the exchange of political and economic resources between Yushan, Shacheng, and Chengjiang has always been a matter of course. Li Ninghua also reciprocated, and the "Shashi Group" has a share of the new land at the dock along the river.
When dealing with other capital groups, at least there are internal meetings and discussions on taxation and employment.
But there is no need to do this with Zhang Haonan. Before the "Safety Food Group" changed its head, the symbol "Zhang Haonan" was synonymous with taxation and employment.
At this time, the elders of the family were all watching the big screen. After the renovation, the large canteen functioned as a banquet hall. After all, May Day and National Day within a year are both good days for collective weddings. They were originally invisible benefits for employees. , a group wedding can save more than 80% of wedding expenses.
In addition, Wujia Lake itself is a first-class location for wedding photos. Apart from my hometown, there may be some rural atmosphere, but as long as you hold your wedding in the big dining hall here, it basically costs nothing.
The sound system is also very good. Old men can hear clearly whether they are sitting in the front or in the back.
The only fly in the ointment for them this year is that CCTV’s New Year’s Eve special program was pushed by Zhang Haonan.
"It actually allowed Yushan to take advantage."
"Li Ninghua is a very nice person. Zhang Nan is not in the countryside, and he came here during the twelfth lunar month."
"Besides, you have only had enough food for a few years, and you want to compare with Yu Shan? Other people's houses and cars have been as good as you want for more than ten years."
The old men chatted and found out that the person in charge of the big canteen is no longer Mao Jianmin. It was not Zhang Haonan who removed him from his position, but because he himself was unwilling to take care of larger business anymore, so his position remained unchanged and his level was raised.
Now he is still working as a chef in the countryside, and he thinks that he is best suited to provide food for workers. In self-effacing words, he "cannot get on the stage."
"Jianmin, sit down for a moment. There are many people available, so why bother."
"Right away, right away."
Mao Jianmin walked by with a smile, and handed out a ring of cigarettes to the old men, saying "Uncle" and "Old Man" in each puff, as polite as ever.
Just as I was going to take a look at the incubator in the kitchen, I saw Zhang Haonan walking over in a military coat and shouting from afar: "Uncle Jianmin!"
"What to do?"
Stopping, Mao Jianmin stopped, turned around and stopped.
"Here, I'll get you two cigarettes."
There were two cigarettes in the military coat and he gave them directly to Mao Jianmin. Before Mao Jianmin could thank him, Zhang Haonan took out a large envelope and made several old men look at it. ”
"After the New Year..."
"This banknote will last for a whole new year. It will be paid out at the end of the year. How can it be paid out at the beginning of the year?"
Zhang Haonan spoke domineeringly, and Mao Jianmin was also afraid of him. He accepted it sheepishly while laughing, and then said he would part with it immediately.
When Mao Jianmin went to the kitchen, there were cheers not long after. In addition to the people who worked in the cafeteria, there were also people from other villages and towns who helped. They all took the time to come over and say hello to Zhang Haonan.
The old men are concerned about one thing: when will our village be on CCTV?
"There's no point in being on CCTV. It's just bragging. If you really want to be on CCTV, I'll invite someone to come over and do a rural special program after the third episode of 'My Family Garden' is over."
"Really or not? Haonan, can you speak on CCTV now?"
"Grandpa, are you talking nonsense? Two of the eight public service announcements are mine. I can ask CCTV to do direct sales for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars."
Zhang Haonan looked calm, grabbed a few walnuts and cracked them loudly, then said, "Except for the mission, no matter what the media, as long as the money is in place, anything is fine."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Several old men with firm ideas and strong principles were almost defeated by Zhang Haonan's few words.
