Warship of Great Power

Chapter 219: Drastic measures (additional updates)

 Chapter 219 Taking a bold move (additional update)

  Everyone in the conference room had a straight face and no one dared to speak. They knew that Mr. Qin in front of them was about to lose his temper.

 “Lao Zhang, it’s up to you to tell me what’s going on.”

"Mr. Qin, our factory has started to produce waterjet thrusters. The quality of the products is currently improving steadily. The comrades in the machine tool factory are also very cooperative and continue to improve our blade processing capabilities. However, after all, we have little demand. A 022 missile boat only needs two waterjet propellers produced by us, and our monthly output is single digits." Zhang Guangrong said: "With this profit, we simply cannot support so many people in our factory. , so it would be great if we could provide them with a basic salary, and don’t even think about benefits or anything like that.”

Qin Tao nodded: "So, we have to start from two aspects."

 The fateful moment has arrived!

Everyone held their breath, listening to Qin Tao's words, waiting for the judgment of fate.

“First of all, transfer half of the people to different positions, and move away all the people who have nothing to do. None of the flatterers today will be accepted.”

Qin Tao is not just joking, he is serious about it.

“Mr. Qin, please rest assured that our thirteen personnel in the Human Resources Department will definitely complete this glorious and great task, slim down our factory and achieve better development.” Hu De, the Chief of the Human Resources Department, spoke.

Qin Tao glanced at the middle-aged man with a beard: "In your personnel department, it is enough to keep two people. The rest will be transferred to other posts. You and your subordinates must do a good job and the people who are transferred will be transferred to other places." Mainly those departments that are not on the front line of production, and some departments that have no need to exist, such as the publicity department, can all be transferred to different positions."

"Mr. Qin, it is not necessary for our Propaganda Department to exist. Our department is responsible for the ideological work of workers and plays a great role in maintaining order and stability in the factory." Zhao Min, the head of the Propaganda Department, was anxious.

"Doing ideological work for workers and stabilizing the order of the factory?" Qin Tao glanced at Zhao Min: "When these workers besieged the factory leaders today, where was your propaganda department? With your little ability, can you maintain the stability of the factory? "

“However, after all, we have contributed to the factory. There is no credit but hard work. If our department is directly abolished, we can’t think of it.”

"You do ideological work for others, but you still can't figure it out?" Qin Tao said: "If you can't figure it out, then think about it more, why is the factory like this? Isn't it because there are too many people who are not engaged in production and are getting paid? !”

Qin Tao looked at the people present. Some of them had pale faces, obviously expecting to be laid off.

For those who sit in the office all day, it is indeed cruel to suddenly have their jobs gone. However, their good days cannot continue like this, because the existence of these people will put a heavy burden on the company. .

"This step cannot be omitted. The Human Resources Department must implement it." Qin Tao said: "The proportion of people sitting in offices in the factory cannot exceed 2% of the total number of employees in the factory. If it exceeds, then Abolish the personnel department.”

Hood nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Qin, we promise to complete the task."

At this time, Hu De was extremely conflicted. Of course he knew that he was going to be a villain. He didn't know how many people would scold him. It was light to tie up a scarecrow. From now on, he would probably be beaten when walking at night.

Qin Tao sighed. In the 1990s, more than ten years after the country was opened, there were still some factories that lacked the spirit of reform and were lazy. His subordinates really lacked talents!

 He can only enlighten these people to avoid causing a bigger disturbance.

"I have made it clear just now that we are calling for job transfers and diversions, not layoffs, let alone expulsions." Qin Tao said: "It is necessary to downsize the factory, but the methods must be gentle. For example, determine Those who come down can be given three months. During this period, the factory will continue to pay them wages, and they can find their own way. The outside world is very exciting, and maybe they can do better outside! If they have any ideas, the factory can also provide help.”

 “What about three months from now?”

"After three months, it will be half of the salary. After three months, there will be no salary." Qin Tao said: "The buffer of half a year is enough!"

 No one dared to refute, because Qin Tao was not here to discuss with them, but to give them orders!

“Director Qin, you just said to prepare from two aspects, but what about the other one?” Zhang Guangrong asked.

"On the other hand, we need to develop new products." Qin Tao said: "Since only water jet thrusters are not enough to feed us, then we must find new ways out. A nuclear industry plant can make ice cream, and an aircraft factory can make ice cream." Our factory makes refrigerators, can't we make something else? If I had known that our factory was this virtuous, then I shouldn't have taken over this factory in the first place. It would be better for me to build a new factory than to take over this mess. Strong. Humph, there is no one around when we work, but everyone is very confident when asking for benefits, and the group does not owe our factory anything!"

 Everyone present lowered their heads.

Why should you let the group treat you as your own son? It's the last thing to do. Do you expect the group to continuously give you blood transfusions, and then you can continue to live a comfortable life? Stop dreaming! The group doesn't want this kind of vampire.

 They also felt ashamed.

Wang Jinbao raised his head and looked at Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, please show us a way. We will definitely work hard."

"Since we have already started building water jet propellers, let's just continue on this road and become bigger and stronger. We will make ship propulsion systems." Qin Tao said: "Next, we will make pitch changes. propeller."

 Variable pitch propeller?

Hearing Qin Tao's proposal, Wang Jinbao was shocked: "Mr. Qin, this thing has a high technical content and requires high precision machining. If it is not done well, oil will leak from the propeller hub!"

“So, we can’t do it anymore?” Qin Tao asked.

Wang Jinbao lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his head again: "Mr. Qin, we will try our best. If we can't do it well, please fire me."

He has decided to take a few times, and the rest must be based on his ability. Wang Jinbao is engaged in technology. If he can't make such a promise, what qualifications do he have to stay here?

“Okay, I’ll give you one year to first make a variable-pitch propeller with a diameter of less than one meter. I will give you the relevant information.”

 “Do you have any information?” Wang Jinbao was overjoyed.

Qin Tao nodded: "What you have to do is to study the craftsmanship, the precision machining craftsmanship, to ensure that it does not leak oil, has the right center of gravity, and does not have any defects."

"yes."

The propeller matter has been finalized in this way. This is also a pre-arrangement of Qin Tao. He still has confidence in this place, but a reform is needed to let everyone in the factory know that if they want good benefits, then You have to devote yourself to the factory and only look at the welfare of Mingzhou without working down-to-earth. That will not work. At the same time, a large number of irrelevant personnel will be cut.

 After such operations, the atmosphere in the factory will be completely renewed. When the time comes, the Toshiba CNC milling machine obtained from Lao Maozi will be installed here, and it will become the largest propeller production factory in the country.

Those who should be eliminated will be eliminated. The remaining ones are down-to-earth and skilled. The welfare of these people will definitely not be bad in the future.

“Is there anything else?” Qin Tao looked at the people present.

 No one dared to speak. Only Zhang Guangrong's throat moved twice, but he still did not dare to speak out.

 “Old Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it. I don’t like my subordinates working hard.”

“Mr. Qin, housing for our factory’s employees is still a big problem,” Zhang Guangrong said.

So many workers in the factory came to block the factory, and Zhang Guangrong did not have the confidence to confront the workers because he knew that housing was indeed a big problem.

If it is a large state-owned enterprise, everything is self-sufficient. There are schools, hospitals, cinemas attached to the factory, and a dedicated infrastructure department to carry out construction.

However, their small water pump factory does not have so many departments. Of course, this also reduces the resistance to Qin Tao's drastic reforms. Moreover, this is also because the factory is established in Huating City, which is an international city. , the city's various supporting facilities are very complete.

 However, the housing problem is indeed serious. If it is not solved, it will still be a landmine that may explode at any time in the future.

Qin Tao nodded: "The problem of housing is not limited to our factory. All factories in Huating have this problem. However, the era of welfare housing distribution has passed."

It is not that easy to live in a big city. When Bai Juyi wanted to settle in Chang'an, he couldn't afford a house. Is it so easy to get a house under the emperor's feet?

The same is true for Huating, a big city. It is difficult to have a house to live here. In the 1980s, as a large number of educated youth returned to the city, the problem of housing began to become prominent.

In terms of specific data, in 1980, the per capita living area in Huating City was only 4.4 square meters, and there were 42,000 extremely poor households with a per capita living area of ​​less than 2.5 square meters. The housing supporting rate (that is, one family has its own independent bathroom) , kitchens) is less than 30%, and there are still more than 1 million square meters of dilapidated houses, shanties and simple houses in urgent need of renovation.

At that time, we were clamoring for reform, but what was the result?

 Ten years later, the per capita housing area in Huating City has dropped from 4.4 square meters to 3.6 square meters, because more people have poured into Huating City in the past ten years.

It is no longer possible to rely on work units to allocate houses. This problem exists all over the country. Therefore, in February 1991, Huating City officially launched a policy to "promote provident funds, increase rents and provide subsidies, allocate houses to buy bonds, and buy houses." The housing system reform plan with the main content of "providing preferential treatment and establishing housing committees" has kicked off the housing reform. Among them, the establishment of a housing provident fund system has become the core content of the entire housing system reform.

 It will be impossible to divide the house in the future, and you will have to buy it yourself.

Qin Tao has never planned to engage in this kind of welfare house distribution. It will cause too many problems. Huating has already kicked off the housing reform, so if you want a house, you have to solve it yourself.

“However, our factory has not yet established employee housing provident fund accounts.” Zhang Guangrong said.

"Well, this matter needs to be grasped. After the job transfer and diversion are completed, we can do this." Qin Tao said: "As long as employees are willing to work hard in the factory, they can rely on their own efforts to buy of the house.”

This is only the 1990s. If you work hard and buy a house, future generations will enjoy happiness.

The meeting was over. The content of the meeting was quickly spread throughout the factory, and everyone was anxious.

 Qin Tao walked around the factory with square steps, no one around him. This is the best way to understand the factory.

"I heard that workers who are not engaged in production on the front line are likely to be shunted away. What should we do? I'm afraid we will all be transferred and shunted away!" When Qin Tao walked to a warehouse near the gate, he heard There was talk inside.

 The warehouse is at the door, which facilitates the transportation of goods. In the past, their warehouses were filled with production raw materials and products, and they once had a great time.

But now, this row of warehouses is almost idle, empty inside. Naturally, the warehouse managers don’t have much work. They just come here to show their faces all day long. Today I heard that the group boss is here. They rushed over from home one after another and went to work seriously.

As for the riots caused by the workers in the factory, they did not participate. For them, it was just a matter of day to day life, and they did not care about so many benefits.

 But now, it seems that they can't get along.

"Humph, I should have done this a long time ago." At this moment, another voice sounded: "What's the point of hanging around like this all day? It's so useless. I want to go out and work hard, but I am also thinking about this salary. Now I can't Okay, this can help us make up our mind."

“Sister Ding, you have enough to eat alone and the whole family is not hungry. Your husband left early and you have no children. You can make a living if you want. We are all raising the family.”

"Widow Ding, are you making sarcastic remarks to everyone? Who is willing to give up this salary? You don't care, someone has already supported you?"

“Sister Wang, don’t say that, it will have a bad impact.” Someone tried to dissuade her.

"What, isn't she a widow? Did I say it wrong?" The woman named Sister Wang is obviously also a sharp-tongued person, and her words are harsh and harsh.

"Humph, thirteen o'clock." Widow Ding said unforgivingly: "So what if I say that? Does it hurt your heart? Anyway, if I don't say it, we people won't be able to escape even if the factory transfer arrangements are made. Come on, instead of hiding your illness and avoiding medical treatment here, you should be proactive and find a way out on your own! Why, there is a birthmark on your head, and you put down your hair curtain to cover it, do you think the birthmark will disappear? "

"You! You are very capable, but tell me, what else can we sisters do besides guarding the warehouse and turning over the ledgers?"

"You can do a lot more." Widow Ding said: "You can even guard the warehouses. These warehouses are useless anyway. They are still facing the street. We only need to open a door from here, and it will be a shopping mall. After decoration, this shopping mall will be It’s open for business!”

Obviously, Widow Ding is very smart: "There are many factories nearby. There are many workers passing by us every day when commuting to get off work. Moreover, there is no big shopping mall nearby. If we open it, it will only be convenient for people commuting to and from get off work." There will be a lot of customer traffic just by shopping.”

“Hmph, you put it lightly, who can sell goods? Today’s salespersons are no longer in the era when hitting customers was strictly prohibited. As a salesperson, you still have to curry favor with customers, huh, who can do that!”

"Yes, if you can make money just by sitting, or even just walking around every day, who would bother to curry favor with customers? This is not the era when you can beat customers." Widow Ding said, "But now, that era has passed. , Transferring jobs and diversion is not a joke. Mr. Qin takes it seriously. The factory director has become the workshop director. How can we still have a good life? Sisters, we all have hands and feet, and we can make a living through our own hard work. Why should we be parasites? Moreover, as long as we do our job well, our income will rise. Don’t envy the salary of 400 to 500 yuan in Mingzhou. 4,000 to 5,000 yuan is possible. Look at those big brothers outside wearing suits and holding Big ones, do you want to be the same person?"

As Widow Ding said, she pointed outside, and then she saw a man in a suit and tie standing outside, holding a mobile phone.

 Suddenly, everyone was curious, who is this person?

"Where are you from? Are you eavesdropping on us?" A woman with long hair that almost covered her eyes asked Qin Tao with her hands on her hips: "Do you want to snitch on us?"

Qin Tao ignored her and looked at the person opposite her. Just now, the two women were facing each other. He became more and more excited when he heard it, so he took two steps forward. He didn't expect to be discovered, but he discovered it as soon as he discovered it. Yes, stand up openly and be upright.

At this time, Qin Tao looked at Widow Ding: "Do you want to open this place into a big shopping mall?"

"Yes, I have this idea." Widow Ding said: "In 1984, the first self-selected grain and oil food store opened on Kuaiji Road, XZ South Road. This store sold malted milk, instant noodles, and seasoning packets every day. The daily sales of these are 5,000 yuan. A few days ago, our first supermarket chain Lianhua Supermarket in Huating opened in Quyang, and the shelves were so empty every day that it couldn't close the door at 8 o'clock in the evening."

Speaking of this, Widow Ding was very happy: "What do they rely on? It's not just a big supermarket. Some of them are cheap, such as Sprite, which is cheaper than the wholesale price, but some of them are also more expensive, even more expensive than the half-dead state-owned shopping malls outside. It’s expensive, but if people don’t care about this, they will definitely find it cheap. The daily sales of that supermarket are at least hundreds of thousands!”

Widow Ding looks unattractive, but her mind is full of business knowledge: "If our warehouses are opened up and turned into a large supermarket, I can guarantee that the daily income will be at least 20,000 yuan! The profit will be at least 2,000 yuan." !”

"It's easy to say." Sister Wang spoke again: "Do you know how much it will cost to open the door and fill it with goods? Doing business requires investment. What if you lose money?"

A contemptuous smile appeared on Qin Tao's face. In any reform, you will encounter people like this. They think they are smart, hold on to their immediate interests, obstruct the reform, and make sarcastic remarks when others want to do something. In the end nothing was accomplished.

This kind of person is the most hateful, and she must be on the list, but now, Qin Tao can't care less about talking nonsense with this kind of person.

 “Mr. Ding, please continue.”

"Well, I think..." Widow Ding wanted to continue, but suddenly stopped. She keenly discovered something. Just now, Qin Tao actually called her Store Manager Ding?

 “What, store manager, huh, who do you think you are?”

Sister Wang was very angry at Qin Tao's disdainful look. Isn't this looking down on others? Besides, who are you? Even if you are wearing a suit and leather tie and holding a big brother in your hand, so what? You are just a bumpkin in society who has made money, but we still have an iron rice bowl.

Although her job is about to be gone, the arrogance in Sister Wang's heart still exists.

 Then, she thought of something else: Could it be that this boss-like person had a crush on Widow Ding, and even had an affair with Widow Ding? "

"My name is Qin Tao, the boss of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group." Qin Tao has already spoken. If Sister Wang doesn't hesitate to express her thoughts directly, Qin Tao will definitely slap her twice.

 “Boss? Wait.” Sister Wang’s face suddenly turned pale.

  When he just went to work in the morning, Mr. Qin fired a worker who talked back to him on the spot. After he said that just now, Mr. Qin would definitely fire him!

 Fortunately, I didn’t say I had one leg, otherwise..., thinking of this, Sister Wang’s legs became weak, and then she knelt down with a thud.

"Mr. Qin, you have a lot of trouble, please forgive me. I just spoke carelessly and contradicted you. Please calm down. I, I will slap you."

 Speaking, Sister Wang waved her palms and opened her bows from left to right. The snapping sound was really loud. After a few slaps, her cheeks swelled up.

Qin Tao then said his first words to her: "It's not that you speak without thinking, you don't have a brain at all. You should go aside and reflect."

“Well, thank you, Mr. Qin, thank you, Mr. Qin.” Sister Wang expressed her gratitude.

 You didn’t say you were going to fire yourself on the spot, which means you still have a chance, but it really hurts!

 Widow Ding was completely stunned. Mr. Qin, was he actually Mr. Qin? She looked at Qin Tao and said uneasily: "Mr. Qin, what I said just now were all said casually. I can't be the store manager! Besides, I don't have start-up capital."

"The funding problem will be solved by the group. When this supermarket is established, it will also have shares in the group. However, as the store manager of this supermarket, you will be the top leader and be responsible to the end. Please answer me after you have thought about it. Do you want to try it?" ?”

"I, I am willing!" Widow Ding said: "I want to make a lot of money, I want to live a good life, and I don't want to live in such a hazy state! It's better to do it with great fanfare than to remain unknown!"

Qin Tao looked at the other people: "What about you? What do you think?"

"Let's follow Sister Ding!" The other people have finally figured it out. If they want to continue to live their lives, they have no choice but to live in obscurity or become famous. Anyway, Widow Ding is at the front and they can just follow behind.

 Fuck him!

"Mr. Qin, I want to do it too!" Qin Tao turned his head in surprise, did that Sister Wang change her gender so quickly?

PS: I have troubled everyone today and added an update chapter. I hope you can understand.
