Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 507 Old Man, You Love Faces
Uncle Yi nodded: "Then, is this independent workshop of yours temporary or long-term?"

"Of course it's for the long term." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I either don't do it, or if I do, I have to do long-term business. Temporary business is not enough."

"But what if I can't make a rifle?" Uncle Yi frowned, "It's not that I don't have confidence in myself, but after all, I have been retired for many years, and many skills are unfamiliar. The things you make don’t meet other people’s requirements, and your money is wasted.”

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Don't worry about this, if you really can't do ordnance, we can do other work, such as the production of new bicycles, new radiators and new reverse combustion boilers. Can continue to make steel.

Anyway, these days, as long as it is something that is close to steel, there is no need to worry about selling it. It is nothing more than a matter of selling more and selling less. "

Indeed, at this time, there is a severe shortage of steel products in the country. In this respect, it is still a planned system of unified purchase and sales, and it is not easy to get it in the market.

This is why the Hongguang Machinery Factory is so poor that it is clearly engaged in steel processing, because no matter how much they produce, they can't make much money. After all, they all produce according to the plan and there is no profit.

It was only later that the dual-track system was implemented, so that the production enterprises could sell a batch of over-produced products to the market at the market price while completing the tasks, thereby earning additional income.

Originally, this dual-track price system should not be implemented until the second year, but due to various reasons in this time and space, it is actually planned to be implemented now.

According to the information obtained by Cao Zhiqiang, the factory's dual-track price system is already planned to be officially implemented on October [-] this year.

It's just that this is officially implemented, not all factories will implement it, but some factories will be selected as pilots to see the situation first, and then decide whether to roll it out based on the feedback from the pilots.

That is to say, after October of this year, the factories on the pilot list can implement the dual-track price system model of planning and market, and Hongguang Machinery Factory happens to be in this batch of pilot list.

It is also because of knowing this that Cao Zhiqiang dared to contract the workshop for production, because the workshop he contracted was not in the plan, there was no so-called production plan, and all the products produced went to the market, with absolute freedom, which can be said to be Do whatever you want.

But no matter what you do, thanks to the shortage of production materials such as steel in the country, the products you produce are nothing more than the difference between ordinary profits and hard profits, and it is impossible to lose money.

Even, he can go out directly, as long as there are foreign businessmen who are willing to ask for it.

In short, the independent workshop contracted by Cao Zhiqiang is said to be a workshop, but strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a factory within a factory, and it is definitely not the treatment that ordinary people can get.

Naturally, there are actually more secrets involved in this, which cannot be known by outsiders.

Anyway, to the outside world, the workshop contracted by Cao Zhiqiang is an innovation pilot, a bold innovation, and a perfectly normal economic behavior. As for other nonsense, they are all rumors.

"Master Yi." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Anyway, the behavior of my contracted workshop is originally a trial transformation of our unit, even if there is no contract for the trial production of military products this time, we have to do other things.

Nowadays, reforms are being carried out everywhere, and our factory will take this step sooner or later. "

"That's true." Uncle Yi nodded, "Traditional factories have many rules and regulations, and it's really troublesome to change them. It's really a good idea to get a contract, so that you can jump out of the original rules and paint again."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Master Yi, you know what to do, that's the reason."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately sighed: "To be honest, the current enterprise reform is really difficult, and the difficulty lies in the people.

You can say that the current employees are all the rules of the older generation. After entering the factory, as long as there are no major mistakes, they generally work for the rest of their lives.

But in fact, due to various reasons, the factory actually has too many unnecessary people.

If you are like the Western countries, you can lay off people at any time to reduce the burden, but we can't.

But if you don't lay off people, you have been carrying so many redundant staff burdens, and the burden will only become heavier, and eventually the entire factory will be ruined.

So when I contracted the workshop, it was just an attempt. The model was self-financing, self-recruitment of personnel, and paid use of production materials.

I have thought about it, I plan to single out those young people in our factory who have just entered the factory, who still have a bit of fighting spirit, and are not willing to wait to die, and bring them into my workshop, and then hire a group of people like you Really skilled old technicians go in to be leaders, and the model of rewards and punishments is clearly defined, and distribution according to work is implemented.

Of course, you are the workshop director and general technical consultant, and you can grasp everything, so how to make specific changes, how to make the reward and punishment system, will be planned by you at that time, what do you think? "

Uncle Yi frowned and said, "Zhiqiang, I'm just a fitter and only know how to do things. It's not suitable for you to let me be the workshop director who can grasp everything at once?"

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "There is nothing inappropriate about this, although you have never been a workshop director before, it does not mean that you do not have leadership skills.

Think about it, you have been the grand master of this courtyard for a long time, and almost everything in this courtyard is decided by you..."

"I dare not say that." Uncle Yi quickly waved his hand, "In the past, decisions were made collectively. At best, I just stood on the stage. Everyone loved me, so I reluctantly did it."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "No matter what, everyone's love shows that everyone trusts you. As a leader, the most important thing is to be able to gain everyone's trust."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang tapped his fingers on the table, organized his words, and then said:
"To be honest, Uncle Yi, the factory director of our unit, when he first came to me and wanted me to help contract a workshop and help with reform pilots, the first thing I thought of was you.

As for me, I don't worry about making money, and I have a lot of good ideas, but if I want to talk about serious production, I absolutely can't do it.

You are different, you have long been a real eighth-level fitter, a person with real skills and capabilities.

Of course, as you said, you have already retired, and you have been away from your old job for a long time, so your hands will inevitably become rusty, and I understand this.

But what I really value is not your technology, but your organizational ability. You are born to be a leader. "

Seeing that Uncle One was about to speak, Cao Zhiqiang quickly waved his hands: "Master One, let me finish my sentence first."

Uncle Yi frowned, then nodded, motioning for Cao Zhiqiang to continue.

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Uncle Yi, although I am not good at giving birth, I am not an idiot, I have eyes, I can see, I can think.

I don't know about other factories, but in our Hongguang Machinery Factory, due to many historical reasons, there have been too many managers for a long time, and laymen lead experts.

You are like a production factory. It is best not to have too many administrative personnel, and it is best not to have laymen who do not understand the industry as the management team. You must have someone who really understands technology as the leader.

Otherwise, if you are a layman leading an expert, the people below will have ways to fool the leader. You must be familiar with this point, Mr. Yi, right? "

Uncle Yi glanced at Cao Zhiqiang and nodded slightly.

Cao Zhiqiang then continued: "However, you are an eighth-level fitter. Even if your hands are not good, you still have eyesight. You can see through whether things are done or not, and whether others are lazy and slippery, so I chose you to be the workshop director. , It is most appropriate to grasp production.

In addition, you have worked as an eighth-level fitter. The so-called division of people into groups, you must have known many skilled colleagues.

How about this, you can call all your old friends and old colleagues, no matter whether you are retired or not, I will at least give you a regular employee position in the machinery factory, and as long as you approve, the salary and other things are negotiable.

Also, during your return to employment, you can choose to live in the factory, or you can choose to continue to live here.

If you live in the factory, I will ask the factory to assign you the best dormitory.

If you still live here, I can arrange a special car for you to take you to and from get off work, and let the factory send one or two people to be babysitters.

As for your medical insurance 100% reimbursement in case of illness during your re-employment, what do you think? "

After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's words, Uncle Yi pondered for a long time, and then said: "This is a big matter, can you let me think about it?"

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Master Yi, I have given such good conditions, you still need to think about it?"

Uncle Yi said with a serious face: "The conditions are good, and what you said moved me very much, but I know how much I own, so I still need to think about it and think about it, lest I agree to you rashly. In the end, they didn’t do well, it was a disservice, and it made everyone feel uncomfortable.”

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Okay, if that's the case, then you should go back and think about it carefully, but I hope to give it to me as soon as possible, preferably within three days.

Because in a few days, I will go on a business trip to Japan again, and this time it is a long trip, and I won't be back for a while.

I like to act swiftly and resolutely, and I don't like to procrastinate, so I hope you can make a decision early, so I can make arrangements early. "

Uncle Yi nodded: "Okay, within three days, I will definitely give you an answer, but if you are not here, how can I find you?"

"You are looking for my sister." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "My sister is here. She has a phone at home and knows where I live. You can ask her to pass it on, or ask my sister directly for the phone number. Just call me. I'll talk to my sister about it then."

"Okay, I got it." Uncle Yi stood up, "Let's just do it, I'll write to you within three days."

Cao Zhiqiang also stood up: "Okay, uncle, are you leaving? Won't you stay and eat with us? The food will be delivered soon."

"No." Uncle Yi waved his hand, "Qin Huairu has reserved food for me, I'll go there to eat, and there's a lot going on there right now, I have to go and have a look."

"Ah, yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then you go, I won't keep you for dinner."

Uncle Yi turned around, waved his hand at Cao Zhiqiang again, and then slowly left with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the bleak back of Uncle Yi leaving, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It is true that Cao Zhiqiang contracted the workshop, but if you want to talk about the director of the workshop, you don't necessarily have to give it to this uncle.

These days, there are plenty of senior workers who are unwilling to retire, and Yi Zhonghai is not the only retired eighth-level worker in the capital.

Moreover, the retirement benefits of these years are actually not high, and the living standards of most retired senior workers are just like that.

If Cao Zhiqiang is willing to re-employ those retired senior workers with high salaries, there is no need to do anything, just let the wind out and ensure that a large number of people rush to apply for the job.

There is no way, why is re-employment not popular now, why is it that there are fewer factories and fewer jobs, and we are in a stage of serious waste of talents.

The reason for the waste is simply a lack of enough jobs.

In short, these old workers, if you say that their skill level is really good, but most of their skills are old skills, and with the development of the times, they gradually can't keep up with the trend.

For example, things like CNC machine tools are difficult for old eighth-level workers to operate.

However, this does not mean that those old technicians are useless, on the contrary, their role is very important.

Although it is a joke that the eighth-level engineer rubs the aircraft carrier with his hands, it is not a joke at all when he rubs the aircraft cannon with his hands.

For example, the so-called Qiye, that is, the J-7 fighter jets, are mostly rubbed out by old technicians, and because most of them are rubbed by hands, the tolerances of a large number of aircraft parts are too large, and many of them cannot be used universally.

The fighter jet that our country really implements standardized production is actually the J-8 fighter jet, and the industrial upgrading of this fighter jet was completed with the help of the Americans. Of course, this process was also thoroughly researched by the Americans .

In other words, it is really out of date for the senior technicians of the older generation to engage in mass production, but it is still very good if they are engaged in research and development.

For example, the trial production of new firearms does require manual rubbing of parts, and some production machine tools also require manual rubbing.

As long as there are design drawings, as long as there are materials, as long as there is basic equipment, as long as precision work is required, these old eighth-level workers can make it for you. Many people's work is more precise than CNC machine tools.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang only needs to gather these old technicians, and then let them produce samples of high-end weapons and copy high-end machine tools and other equipment, so as to complete the industrial upgrading little by little.

The simplest example, those so-called industrial master machines that can be mass-produced are basically rubbed by hand. Once these old technicians are gone, many industrial master machines will be gone.

Later, the main reason for the hollowing out of industry in the United States was not the lack of mechanical equipment and related technologies, but the lack of skilled old technicians.

Therefore, top technicians like eighth-level workers are real treasures, but they must be used in the right place.

Letting them directly produce industrial products such as aircraft and cannons is a waste of resources and a waste of talents.

Let them produce the most basic industrial mother machine, the most basic machine tool equipment, or carry out trial production of new weapons and customize weapon standards, that is where they can really exert their power.

Now this time is the best time. After this time, after entering the 90s, those retired old technicians can't use it, or they can't use it even if they want to.

Because in the 90s, not only will he be targeting those old technicians, but some private enterprises, joint ventures and township enterprises will be targeting them. At that time, it would not be worthwhile to rob people.

To apply the words from a later movie "The Whip of God", the braids may be gone, but God will keep them.

Even though the current technology of these old technicians can no longer keep up with the international trend, the spirit in their hearts is still there.

What they lack is good treatment and good design, especially good blueprints.

As long as you have a good design drawing, as long as it is something that people can produce, they will definitely be able to rub out the things in the design drawing for you!

If scientists and designers are responsible for imagination, then these old technicians are the group of people responsible for realizing imagination, and their importance is self-evident.

Having said that, although Uncle One is a little bit of his own in some things, but in terms of work and management, he really has nothing to say.

In fact, in the entire courtyard, the only one who has the most leadership style is Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle.

A long time ago, Uncle Yi had always been the leader of the courtyard house. This is an existence that everyone admires, and it explains a lot of problems in itself.

Not to mention, Uncle Yi is a highly skilled worker and is an eighth-level worker.

He can stick to the principle, but also has a flexible bottom line. He doesn't talk much, but he can convince the public. He is the best candidate to be the workshop director.

The most important thing is that he has no children for retirement, and his wife is sick and needs a lot of money, so if there is no accident, the first uncle will definitely agree to re-employment.

The reason why he didn't directly agree was probably because of his face, secondly, he wanted to slow down and stabilize, and thirdly, he wanted to solve the problem of Shazhu first.

"Old man, it's about saving face." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, I'll give you this face. Why do I always respect the old and love the young, and always cherish talents."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang looked up at the gray sky at a 45-degree angle behind his hands:
"Oh, sure enough, there is only so much sky in this courtyard, and it really takes some courage to jump out of here.

I hope Uncle Yi and Uncle Silly can jump out of this sky, and don't be bound here for the rest of their lives, wasting years and wasting talents. "
