Revival Road

Chapter 179 Communication with the Youth

Meng Fan and You Benling, who were sweating from work, did not expect Tao Tang to come to their new house.

This is a small two-bedroom apartment. Because it is rented, the hard decoration has not been done much, only the wallpaper is pasted, and the lights are not even changed.In addition to the newly bought furniture, what shows the atmosphere of the new house is the hanging color practice.

"I didn't expect you to come... This moved us so much... It gave us face..." You Benling, who had a yellow towel wrapped around her head, was overjoyed and stammered.

"Hurry up and make tea for Mr. Tao," Meng Fan said to You Benling.

"Don't be too busy." Tao Tang waved his hand, "I just heard Xiao Li say, Meng Fan, you are not mean enough, you don't regard me as a friend."

"Ah," Meng Fan kept rubbing his hands excitedly, "You are too busy, I don't want to disturb you..."

There were also Chen Yan and two youths from the research institute in the room, especially the two young men invited by Meng Fan to help with the decorations. They didn't expect Tao Tang to say that.This was especially true for those two young men, who were full of envy towards Meng Fan.

"A date has been set?"

"September 9st...is the date chosen by Xiaoyou's family..."

"Xiao Li, remind me when the time comes"

"Yes, Mr. Tao"

"Can I visit your new house?"

"Of course." Meng Fan and You Benling took Tao Tang around, even looking at the kitchen.

"The rented house can only be cleaned up briefly..."

"How much is the rent?"

"4500"

"4500 a year is not expensive...but the factory has not built a house for several years, and it is a problem for young people to get married..."

"Mr. Tao, our income is not high, and the rent of 4500 yuan is a lot of money for us..." Meng Fan said seriously.

"That's true." Tao Tang cast his eyes on the two young men, "Both of you are from the research institute?"

"Yes, Mr. Tao"

"Have you got married yet? Are you a Red Star kid or an outsider?"

"My name is Zhang Yong. I'm a boy from the factory. His name is Xu Chen. He's from outside, but his home is in the city..." said the tall young man.

"Oh, are you two married yet?"

"I'm married, he hasn't yet, but it's coming soon..." It's still Zhang Yong.

"Who is your father? Didn't he retire?"

"My father's name is Zhang Shouxin"

"Secretary of the Seventh Branch Factory?"

"Yes"

"Then how did you solve the problem of starting a family house? Do you live with your parents?"

"My family bought me a small apartment in Golden Olive Community..."

"Not bad." Tao Tang laughed, "Run home every day?"

"No, I usually live at my house, go back on Sunday"

"Oh," Tao Tang turned to Xu Chen, "Little Xu, right? How is the house going to be settled?"

Xu Chen is a dark-skinned short man. "I can only rent a house like Meng Fan. How can there be any other way? Mr. Tao, why doesn't the factory build a house? Is it because our factory is moving?"

"The home is in the city? Where are your parents working?"

"My parents are in Donghu"

"Oh, that's good. East Lake is the pride of Hiraizumi City."

"Mr. Tao, Xiao Xu's father is at the East Lake headquarters, and he is quite a leader."

"is it?"

"Private enterprises actually don't have any leaders... No, I mean it's not quite the same as ours..."

"It's interesting. It's said that Donghu's salary is high, Xiao Xu, why didn't you go to Donghu but came to our Red Star?"

"The main reason is that the major is not right for me," Xu Chen said, "My dad insisted that I apply for Red Star..."

"What major did you study in college?"

"Car powertrain..."

"Thank you," Tao Tang took the tea offered by You Benling, "ah, that's good. I admire your choice. Young people nowadays rarely insist on technical pursuits, which is very good." Tao Tang said to Xiao Xu nodded, "Work hard, you will be successful."

"Xiao Xu is already the backbone of our room," Meng Fan said.

"Well," Tao Tang didn't seem to want to talk about this issue any more, and turned to ask Chen Yan, "I'm a bit bureaucratic. Chen Yan, go and hear from Xiao Li that the date of the two of you hasn't been finalized yet, are you planning to rent a house?"

"Of course. Unless you order to build several apartment buildings for Qinggong," Chen Yan said with a smile.

"Chen Yan!" Li Zhibin was dissatisfied with his fiancée's nonchalant attitude.

"This request is not too much...Xiao Xu asked a key question just now, let's talk about this first, what do you think of the legendary relocation? I mean, do you agree with the relocation? Meng Fan, tell me first, why? Say what you want, just chat."

Meng Fan scratched his messy hair, "This topic is too big... If relocation is beneficial to our company, then move, if it is not beneficial, then don't move..."

"Meng Fan, you have the potential to be a great leader." Tao Tang said with a smile, "You are too principled. What are benefits? What kind of benefits should we pursue?"

Chen Yan couldn't help interjecting, "I think, just in terms of geographical location, moving to the development zone is definitely not as good as it is now. Our factory covers an area of ​​nearly [-] mu, and the entire area of ​​the development zone may not necessarily be larger than our factory. It must be very cramped to move, how spacious is it now? In addition, how many buildings will be built if all the employees move there? Is it unrealistic? But relocation is not bad. I always hear the leaders say that there is a problem with funds. If the government pays the demolition compensation price Our factory is just fine, so how much money should that be. With that amount of money, Mr. Tao, you don’t have to worry about funds.”

"Chen Yan, you think so... Do you agree with Chen Yan's opinion?"

Li Zhibin quietly glared at his fiancee again.Suspect her talking nonsense.Just now he has been thinking about whether the situation reported to Tao Tang is appropriate, other things are fine, but maybe he should not talk about gossip with Lu Qi, no, absolutely not!The more Li Zhibin thought about it, the more he regretted it, but it was hard to take back what he said. He couldn't take back what he said, so that he heard Chen Yan's "unauthorized" comments, and he felt that he shouldn't talk nonsense.

"Why are you winking? Do you disagree with what she said? Then tell me your opinion." Tao Tang saw Li Zhibin's small movements, but he couldn't see through the thoughts running through his secretary's mind.

"I think so," Li Zhibin collected his thoughts and organized his words, "First, relocating our factory will definitely not be like demolition of residential households, and the government may not be able to spend such a large sum of money. Secondly, our factory has such a large stall. , still rely on products to make money, not sell land for a living..."

"I agree with Zhibin." Meng Fan said, "Our Red Star is a large state-owned enterprise, which is different from a small unit with hundreds of people. We must stand on our own feet and consider the company's development..."

"That's right. Who said that young employees don't consider the overall situation? I think what you said is very good... The factory has not built a new residential building for several years. There are many reasons. The new city planning of Hiraizumi City is one of them. But it’s not the only factor. There are also its own reasons. One is that the company’s operation has been relatively difficult in recent years, and it has not been able to spend more money to consider life. The other is that according to the information submitted by the property management company, the average residential property in our factory The area is quite large, and the figure in the report is 26 square meters, which is not low. There are many vacant houses in the one-story compound. Everyone hopes to build a house, and most of them hope to improve the living conditions...Xiaomeng, you can rent a house. Prove it, and it is said that the number of migrants has increased a lot in recent years... I understand your request to build a house, and the company will consider your request. As for the overall relocation of the company, it is indeed not an easy matter. Hiraizumi City may not be able to afford it What about a big cake..."

"Mr. Tao, no matter whether the company moves or not, it will get better and better under your leadership." Meng Fan said solemnly, "We are absolutely confident! Several people who were planning to resign and leave the factory have given up their minds."

"Oh, when did you learn to flatter?" Tao Tang said with a smile.

"I'm not flattering you face to face," Meng Fan said seriously, "Not to mention that your courage in **** has been unanimously affirmed by the employees, but the worker tyrant surnamed Yuwen who handles the fifth branch factory, It’s absolutely heart-warming. You may not know that there was a bully in the machining workshop of our research institute. Now I’m terrified. It’s changed a lot. I can’t say it’s obedient. At least it’s not as domineering as it used to be. If you don’t believe me, ask Xiao Xu , I used to be picky about the drawings and craftsmanship, and scolded the young technicians at every turn, but now it's really much better..."

"Oh? I haven't heard your director talk about it. Don't always give people the hat of a worker. The so-called worker is actually a capable worker. Listen to what you mean. It's still a few people who can find design defects. Brush the brush. If a technician has no skills, he will often be looked down upon by the workers, because your design or weaving process is faulty. Therefore, for you young technicians, you should put down your arrogance and learn from the workers humbly The chairman talked about the "three combinations" in the past. I always think that it is not outdated. It is indeed a treasure book of enterprise management. Our company is an old enterprise, and many workers have very rich practical experience. They may not be as good as you in theory, but they are comparable in practical experience. You are much richer"

"That's it," Zhang Yong said with a smile, "I was ridiculed because of a tooling drawing, and I was thought to be too complicated. The positioning tooling guy solved it with three steel bars. It is simple and practical. It inspired me. very big”

"Yes. Knowing that there are many things you don't understand or don't understand well is the prerequisite for truly understanding. The example you gave just now is very good. The company implements lean management to eliminate all waste. But waste often starts from the design stage. The waste caused by the design stage is difficult to correct, because once the design or process is finalized, it is difficult to change. Now I dare not mention lean design, but you should have the concept of lean, every design, every Molds or tooling must consider cost savings. The company has launched a rationalization suggestion activity, have you ever received a bonus?"

"Meng Fan deserved it, please let our group have a meal." Zhang Yong said with a smile, "We both mentioned it, but we didn't win the award."

"If you mention it, you should be encouraged. It doesn't matter if you don't win an award, just keep working hard in the future. As long as you work hard, you will always find areas where you can improve in your work, right? I read the latest award items and list, and I feel the threshold It's a bit high, and I have exchanged opinions with Deputy Secretary Chang, and suggested lowering the threshold and expanding the scope of rewards. I hope to see your names on the reward list as soon as possible... Oh, not only technical skills, but management skills as well. Recently, the general manager It is very good to use waste printing paper for printing materials. We can do this for the materials we submit internally. Some people say that we are a billion-dollar factory and use waste paper to reduce the price of printing materials for the general manager. What is the adjustment? price? Who came up with the idea? I think it deserves a prize."

"It's him, Secretary Zhu adopted it." Chen Yan smiled and pointed to Li Zhibin.

"Really, it's not bad. Go back and talk to your leaders, just say what I said, and submit the application list to Li Zhibin." Tao Tang laughed, "Don't think it's not much money, what I want is a sense of saving! If Every unit is so stingy, so there is no problem in saving several million a year! Just now Xiaomeng mentioned the low income implicitly, I fully admit that I am indeed thinking about increasing everyone’s income, but the income depends on everyone earning it back , the headquarters won’t allocate funds to us.”

"Really? Are you going to give us a raise?" You Benling said in surprise.

"There are two conditions. One depends on the completion of the company's main indicators this year. The second depends on the completion of the main work of the unit. I don't plan to conduct general surveys, which is meaningless. Technology The mouth is the area I'm focusing on, the agency, I'm afraid I have to bear with it."

"Ah, Mr. Tao, you are too eccentric." You Benling said, "I thought I could get a higher salary."

"Long wages should pay attention to the flow of personnel. If everyone doesn't want to stay in the agency, I will definitely consider the agency. But the current situation is not like this... Well, I am very happy to communicate with you. Today I just came to see Xiaomeng and Congratulations on Xiaoyou's new house in advance. When you have a wedding, I will give you a red envelope! Haha..." Tao Tang stood up, "I have something to do, so I'm going first. Xiao Li, you can stay here."
