Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 866, Phone Call

Knowing that he could get an advance on his salary, Huang Dachun thought of his family first. The money he, his parents and his wife earned was tight every month, and they could only eat meat a few times a year. Although the family would not starve to death, it would not be enough to eat enough. So he made up his mind and advanced more than 30 yuan a week's salary.

Huang Dachun took his things and happily rode his father's 28-inch bicycle, which was so old that it made noises except for the bell, straight to the pork stall in the market and bought two pounds of fat pork.

At this time, the tickets still existed, but they were a little more relaxed. Many farmers' markets already had people from the village selling their own poultry, so he was able to buy pork.

When he arrived at his own courtyard, he pushed the cart and walked excitedly towards his home.

In the yard, the aunties who were not working were chatting in low voices while working. When they saw Huang Dachun coming in, they couldn't help but look at him curiously. What they saw was amazing: the back seat of Huang Dachun's bike was full of things, and there was a piece of pork on the handlebar.

"Hey! Dachun, what happened? You got rich, why did you buy so many things today? And you even cut such a big piece of pork?"

"Aunt Li, I was accepted by BMW and will start working tomorrow. I'm going to cut two pounds of meat to celebrate. Those are the work clothes issued by the factory." Huang Baochun answered cheerfully.

Jiang Yan's company is called Panshi Group, and its subsidiary car company is called BMW. In fact, when he started selling cars in the 1960s, Jiang Yan instructed Xu Damao, who had already arrived in Hong Kong at that time, to register the BMW and Mercedes-Benz trademarks. These trademarks were not only registered in Hong Kong, but also in many countries around the world.

"BMW Automobile Company is the factory that was mentioned in the newspaper. The benefits are quite good."

"Yes, that's it. Their factory has generous welfare benefits and higher wages than state-owned factories. Your Xiaosi doesn't have a job yet? Why don't you go and have a look? They are still recruiting now. There are a lot of people going there. If you are late, you will miss the chance." After saying that, he went home without paying any attention to Aunt Li. The whole family was still waiting for good news from him.

"It seems that what is said outside is true. Dachun is so happy, it must be a good company. I'll talk to Xiaosi about it. Such a good company is hard to find even with a lantern." Aunt Li looked at the things in Huang Dachun's car with envy, and ran back home while thinking, while other aunts also rushed back home. These days, every family has a few unemployed young people.

With this recruitment, news about the welfare benefits of Jiang Yan's company spread throughout the city, causing a huge sensation. The average salary was twice as high as that of employees in state-owned factories, and the benefits were better than those in other state-owned enterprises. This led to many workers in state-owned factories becoming eager to resign and come to work for him, but there was no other way because the pay was too much.

Although it is not the time for state-owned enterprises to change their business, some state-owned enterprises are still having a hard time, and some simply pay basic wages. Jiang Yan's welfare benefits are undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

.

"Hurry up and produce it. Calculate the time for this process." Jiang Yan said to his secretary while looking at the document in the office.

"Okay, Dad! I'll contact the technical department right away." Jiang Yiyi said.

Now almost all the middle and senior leaders in the factory know about the relationship between Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Yan, so Jiang Yiyi can do things quite smoothly. After all, no one dares to mess with the company's princess, right? Besides, her boss is quite famous in the whole city for being a daughter slave.

"Ring, ring, ring." Jiang Yiyi had just left when the phone in Jiang Yan's office rang. "Hello, who is this?"

"I'm your Uncle Qian from the State Planning Commission. Didn't you hear me?" someone shouted loudly from the other end.

"Oh, Uncle Qian, I haven't heard you yet. I wonder what you can do for me. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll be happy to help you." Jiang Yan joked.

Uncle Qian of the State Planning Commission was a department-level cadre who was in charge of the factory. His original name was Qian Lei, and he was an old party member, so Jiang Yan took good care of him. As a result, the old and the young became close friends regardless of age. Their relationship was quite good. Uncle Qian was good at everything except drinking. Jiang Yan would always drink with him every time he went to the farm.

"Stop smiling so frivolously, I don't have time to joke with you. What's going on in your factory? A bunch of people have come to complain to me. Thanks to you, my place is like a vegetable market now. You really won't let me live in peace."

"As for this matter, I didn't know about it. No one from below has come to report to me recently, and I have been working on the prototype of the new car." Jiang Yan thought about it and realized that he had been quite honest recently and had not done anything out of the ordinary. How did they find him?

"Benefits, and wages, by the way. I wonder why you set the wages so high for no reason? You're just wasting money! The news about your factory's benefits has spread all over the city, and people are panicking. Many workers have lost their motivation to work, and they're also clamoring for a wage increase. Otherwise, they'd just quit their jobs and go to work for you. They don't even want a stable job now." Qian Lei said.

Hearing Qian Lei talking about this issue, Jiang Yan finally felt relieved and said:

"Uncle Qian, you can't blame us. You have to know that we are a private enterprise, not a state-owned enterprise. We don't have relevant welfare policies, and the country's talents are unlikely to be inclined towards us. All this depends on ourselves. If we don't increase wages and benefits, how can we attract talents? What will happen to our factory?"

Jiang Yan was speechless about what Qian Lei had said before. They have the protection of the country and policy support, so they have a stable job.

What should we private enterprises do then? There is no government support, so we have to rely on ourselves for everything. Whether we can get the meat or the soup depends on our own performance. Besides, the wage standards set by the state are from that era.

In fact, Jiang Yan's complaints may be his own, but the national average wage during that period was around 790, or about 60 yuan a month. This was only the average wage, and some people's wages were even lower. According to current prices, a haircut costs about 3 cents, an egg costs 5 cents each, and pork costs about 9 cents. Prices are low, but it depends on how you calculate it.

Nowadays, many dual-income families have only two people earning money, but they have to support a lot of family members, especially children. In the past, children naturally had less food to eat, but now many children born in the 50s are in their twenties. Since most factories are not hiring workers, many people still rely on their parents for support. There are also children born in the 60s, who are now at the age where their young children can make their parents poor. Even in a dual-income family, if there are two or three children in the family, they cannot bear this, not to mention that there are elderly people above them.

What's more important is that the prices of industrial products are high now. A Shanghai watch costs about 100 yuan, and the prices of clothes have also increased to a certain extent. In other words, money is no longer valuable, so this situation has occurred.

Now that the country has begun reform and opening up, it is estimated that in the near future, a large number of commodities will return to the domestic market, and a new round of price increases is expected to begin. Jiang Yan has read the information. It was also during this period that the country took these situations into consideration and introduced new wage standards in 1984, which led to large-scale wage increases.

However, now with the manipulation of Jiang Yan, the catfish, it is estimated that large-scale salary increase will be brought forward.
