Chapter 128 Rewards Based on Merit

On the one hand, Linyi Machinery Factory had an unwavering attitude, and on the other hand, the labor service company made every effort to expand resettlement channels. The diversion of 1,500 redundant employees was finally completed without incident. Although some people are still petitioning and complaining persistently, in the end they can no longer make waves. After the first batch of people who start their own businesses with the support of the labor service company have made huge profits, those who only know how to complain all day long about their unfair fate will eventually become the laughing stock of the entire factory.

After the work of relocating the diverted employees came to an end, Linyi Machinery held another massive commendation meeting to commend those who had made significant contributions to Linyi Machinery's difficulties in the past six months, including engineers from the technical department and those in the workshop. The outstanding technicians include salesmen at the sales office and family workers in the labor service company.

The two most eye-catching people at the commendation meeting were Han Weichang and Huang Liting. The former's contribution lies in keenly discovering business opportunities for balers and innovatively proposing the concept of "sheet baling", opening up a new market for Linyi Machinery and achieving an output value of nearly 50 million yuan. The latter's contribution was to contract the East District store and turn over more than 100,000 yuan in profits within half a year, setting an example for encouraging employees to start their own businesses.

At the commendation meeting, Han Weichang and Huang Liting received awards of 50,000 yuan each. Said to be awards, in fact, the former received the business commission promised by the factory, while the latter received contracting dividends. Huang Liting had already received her contract dividend before. This time she borrowed 50,000 yuan in cash from the Finance Department and went through a formality in front of everyone. After the commendation, the money still had to be returned to the Finance Department.

As for the other recipients of commendations, they also received rewards ranging from a few hundred yuan to a thousand yuan. Although they are not comparable to the rewards received by Han and Huang, they are still enough to make people jealous.

Zhou Heng also had some considerations in choosing to hold a commendation meeting at this time to disclose the huge income earned by Han Weichang and Huang Liting. He wanted to use this method to give hope to the factory workers. Previously, in order to create psychological pressure on the diverted personnel, many rumors were created in the factory, which caused a lot of harm to the minds of all factory employees. The purpose of this large-scale commendation is to counteract the influence of rumors and let everyone understand that if you have an opportunity, as long as you are willing to work hard and have some ability, you can make a fortune.

The commendation meeting had a good effect. For several days, the hot topic in the factory was how to make money. Especially the salesmen at the sales office, each one was taught a lesson by their family members, asking them why they couldn't make big news like Han Weichang did. Han Weichang was not a salesperson at all, just an engineer, but he was able to bring back more than 20 million yuan in business, and his hands cramped up with the commission money. Those of you who are serious about running business outside, why don’t you have this ability?

As for other staff in agencies and workshops, they are also using their brains to figure out how to do some extraordinary work in ordinary positions, so that some extraordinary numbers can appear on ordinary salary slips.

Of course, negative effects are inevitable. For example, Han Weichang encountered happiness worries after returning home with 50,000 yuan in cash. In one day, he received hundreds of guests who came to congratulate, borrow money, and propose marriage. Don’t get me wrong, the last type of people are not here to introduce Lao Han to an affair, but they are interested in his two sons, one is 17 and the other is 15...

Another major initiative in the factory was also launched at this time, that is, according to Tang Zifeng's suggestion, the factory vacated the three office buildings closest to the edge of the factory area for rent to the public. Nowadays, the rental price of office buildings in Linhe is about 1 yuan per square meter per day. An office building is about more than 2,000 square meters, and the annual rent is more than 700,000 yuan. Three buildings can receive more than 2 million yuan.

The rental income of office buildings is not the same as the output value of the products produced. Producing products requires investment. An output value of 2 million yuan can only generate a gross profit of 600,000 yuan, of which more than half is salary, and the net profit is discounted. The rental income is basically profit, and at most it covers some maintenance and management costs, the proportion of which is very limited.

"Several measures have been taken at the same time, and it is expected that the financial situation of the factory this year should be relatively optimistic. Even if it does not reach the level of full profitability, it should at least be able to achieve breakeven, and there will be no problem in paying employees' wages in full."

At the factory affairs meeting, Chief Economist Ning Suyun said confidently after introducing the factory's income and expenditure.

"It's not easy!" Deputy Secretary Shi Disha lamented. "At this time last year, the most discussed topic in the factory meeting was how to coordinate with the bank and borrow some money to pay part of the salary. Director Zhou took office until Now, in less than five months, the factory has a completely new look, which is really amazing.”

"This also shows that the party committee of the bureau has a sharp eye and sent a wise leader like Factory Director Zhou to this opportunity. It is indeed extraordinary." Zhang Shu also joked.

Zhou Heng smiled and said: "Lao Shi, Lao Zhang, there is no need for us to flatter each other like this, right? Linyiji's improvement is the result of the joint efforts of everyone here. What can I accomplish by myself?" matter?"

"The achievements of our collective should indeed be affirmed. But as the squad leader of our collective, Director Zhou should be the first to contribute. If nothing else, he decisively sold the Mercedes-Benz after Director Zhou took office. Reimbursing medical expenses to retired workers is something that other leaders cannot think of and achieve. Another point is that Factory Director Zhou dares to boldly use young people and entrust them with important tasks. This is also a rare courage." Vice President Factory director Zhu Yachao said.

Wu Weiqin smiled and said: "Lao Zhu, this young man you are talking about must have something to say, right?"

Zhu Yachao also laughed. He pointed at Tang Zifeng, who was sitting at the corner of the conference table, and said, "That's self-evident. I'm talking about Xiao Tang. I heard that Xiao Tang was insisted on by Director Zhou. Initially, some leaders in the bureau did not agree with the idea of ​​bringing him to Linyiji. They felt that Xiao Tang was too young to take on important responsibilities.

"But practice shows that Xiao Tang is a rare talent. He went to Jinche to collect debts, developed the baling machine business, and obtained computers for the technical department. These are all achievements that everyone can see. I think there is another thing that has been ignored by everyone. Yes, that is, the Labor Service Company can be what it is today, which is inseparable from Xiao Tang’s efforts.

"Think about it, if the labor service company remains the same as before, not only unable to make money, but also requiring subsidies from the factory, then where can we put the 1,500 people we diverted this time? If the resettlement of these 1,500 people cannot be completed, how can the factory This is a great situation.”

"Yes, I think revitalizing the labor service company is Xiao Tang's greatest contribution." Zhang Shu agreed.

Tang Zifeng quickly expressed his humility: "Director Zhu, Director Zhang, you are so ridiculous. The labor service company can be what it is today, in fact, it is mainly the work done by Manager Zhang, I just gave him a small drumbeat. Director Zhou put Zhang The key to the whole matter is that the manager arranged for him to go to the labor service company, and the facts show that Zhang Jianyang did an excellent job in that position."

"Zhang Jianyang's work is indeed worthy of recognition." Zhou Heng said, "It's true that Xiao Tang gave him some ideas, but it still takes some energy to implement these ideas. I have learned that Zhang Jianyang's performance in the past few months , just talking to people hundreds of times. For example, Zhang Jianyang personally handled the business adjustments of stores, restaurants, and several affiliated factories in the East District. Family workers and later diversion personnel were not easy to do their jobs. It is indeed not easy for Zhang Jianyang to do a good job for these people. This also proves that Comrade Zhang Jianyang has both work ability and enthusiasm, and deserves praise."

"That's true." Zhu Yachao nodded, "Zhang Jianyang, when he was the deputy director of the factory office, was more careful and able to endure humiliation. Director Zhou removed him from his position as deputy director of the factory office and asked him to serve in the labor service Everyone says that becoming a manager in a company is a punishment, but it is very rare for him to be able to achieve results in this position, which makes me look at him in a different light."

Wu Weiqin said: "I have an idea. The labor service company may be the department with the most obvious development in our factory. Originally, this department was affiliated with the Logistics Department and was just a department-level unit. Now it can make hundreds of thousands of profits a year. It manages 800 family workers and 1,500 regular employees, which is almost 1/3 of the size of our factory. It is somewhat inappropriate to maintain a department-level unit. I think it should be raised to a higher level. Get up?"

"I agree!" Zhang Shu raised his hand and said, "Actually, when the Factory Affairs Council first decided to let Xiao Tang be in charge of the Labor Service Company, the Labor Service Company was no longer under the control of the Logistics Department. Now its level is raised and it is directly A virgin is justifiable."

Shidisha also said: "I also think its level should be raised a bit. Good guy, there are more than 20 secondary companies under it alone. Is this still like a department-level unit?"

"But our department-level units are not that large, right?" Zhu Yachao reminded.

Shidisha smiled and said: "What, Lao Zhu, are you still going to suggest that Zhang Jianyang be promoted to the factory leader?"

"That's not enough." Zhu Yachao said.

Tang Zifeng took over and said: "Secretary Shi, Factory Director Zhu, I think that if everyone admits that Zhang Jianyang's work in the past period of time is effective, then he will be rewarded based on his merits and promoted to be an assistant to the factory director. Yes. I once thought that in the future, the labor service company should be responsible for half of the factory. The canteen, guest house, hospital, school, etc. in the factory can all be placed under the labor service company. The factory headquarters only needs to focus on the main business. That's it.

"At that time, we will no longer call it a labor service company. We can give it a formal name, such as Kemao Industrial Company, and it can become an independent legal person or even go public."

"Isn't this a step too big?"

Everyone was stunned.
