Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 868 Getting Angry 2
How much do we earn every month? Take the eighth-level workers for example. They only earn more than 100 yuan a month. They earn several times more than the eighth-level workers. Look at the current prices and the wages the workers get. You feel ashamed! You are all factory leaders, and thousands of people eat with you. Why do you let them eat pickled vegetables and steamed bread every day? This has become a sweatshop."

"Even with this, you still want to retain talents. I think it's bullshit! The ancients knew that when the granaries are full, people will know etiquette, and when they have enough food and clothing, they will know honor and disgrace. You don't know this, and you still keep blaming me for disrupting the market."

If we come up with a joke that "making missiles is not as good as selling tea eggs", it will be a disgrace to the country. Is this just a disgrace to one person?" Jiang Yan slapped the table, and with his height and weight, he opened his eyes and looked like a furious King Kong.

At first Jiang Yan was not so angry, but the more he talked, the angrier he got. People are not fools. Everyone knows that people go to high places and water flows to low places. In addition to having a strong sense of patriotism, if you don't get any reward for your efforts, no one will serve you. Wasn't it like this in the previous life? Everyone needs to eat.

The talent gap is the biggest threat, so Jiang Yan said this in a hurry.

A group of people saw Jiang Yan slamming the table and getting angry, and everyone fell silent.

"If you have something to say, say it nicely. Don't be angry. Xiao Jiang, calm down too. Calm down. It's all for work. It's all for work." Qian Lei saw Jiang Yan getting angry and hurried to dissuade him.

"Uncle Qian, all the factory leaders," Jiang Yan calmed down and sat down again.

"I was wrong just now. I apologize to you all. I was a little excited just now. But why don't you think about it? With reform and opening up, we have to open our doors to the world. If we don't improve our wages and benefits, and we are impacted by foreign countries, there will definitely be a large-scale brain drain in the future. At that time, how can we develop, conduct research, and catch up with the world? Can we just rely on our large population?"

"Also, we need to value talent and be good at utilizing it, so that they can develop products with high added value. If we stick to the old ways, our market will be dominated by foreign products. Reform and opening up will be our new battlefield."

Is the country poor now? Yes, it is. But no matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in talent. High value-added industries are the king. You can't make much money by relying on labor-intensive industries, and the bulk of the money is taken away by others. He doesn't want to be like in his previous life, where one plane costs us millions of shirts. The country must pay attention to it. It is not easy for migrant workers to bring their families to work in the city. No matter what, they must be given the respect they deserve. Now he wants to change these things, wants to do something for this country, and wants to advance the country's revival by a few years. He has many, many ideas.

Everyone was silent. Thinking about it, what Jiang Yan said was not wrong. Our person in charge is in charge of a large group of people, working hard all day long, and the salary is not high. When I have time to think about it, I feel very unbalanced.

"Alright, alright, now that something has happened, we have to find a way to solve it. We have to go ahead if there are difficulties, and we have to go ahead even if there are no difficulties. Salaries are like state regulations, there is no room for relaxation, and you can't change it. So, Xiao Jiang, you have to work hard and find time to write a report as soon as possible and hand it to me. We will hold a meeting to study it as soon as possible and report it to the relevant leaders. I believe our leaders will solve all these difficulties. I believe this situation is not just in our Sijiu City." Qi Lei spoke to smooth things over.

Just like that, the meeting ended unpleasantly, but Jiang Yan's words were deafening, and many people fell into deep thought.

He drove back home, sat under the grape vines in his yard, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.

At this time, the old lady who was listening to the opera saw that Jiang Yan was worried, so she turned off the radio. "What could make my precious grandson so worried?" The old lady said.

"It's about work." Jiang Yan said while smoking a cigarette.

"Can you tell it to me, an old lady? Although I may not understand it, it will be better if you say it out loud." The old lady continued.

After Jiang Yan finished telling the old lady what happened today, the old lady said: "Although I don't understand, I feel that your ideas are beneficial to the country and the people. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, grandson, don't worry so much, just do it. No one supports you, but grandma supports you. Even if you offend some people because of this in the future, even if you go to jail, grandma will accompany you." After the old lady finished speaking, she touched Jiang Yan's head as if they had just met for the first time.

It would be a lie to say that Jiang Yan was not moved by the old lady's words. There are not many people as open-minded as the old lady these days. However, although the other old ladies in our country have little education, they have spent their whole lives taking care of their husbands and children and doing things according to their conscience. It is they who have raised us, generation after generation.

After calming down, Jiang Yan said something to the old lady, then went to the study, lit a cigarette, and thought while smoking. After thinking for a while, he turned on the desk lamp, picked up a pen, and wrote two articles on paper: "Report on Future Enterprise Development" and "Report on Talent Drain".

Jiang Yan wrote very seriously. He gave a detailed explanation of the drawbacks of domestic enterprise development after the reform and opening up, the impact of foreign countries on the domestic market, the analysis of the reasons for the loss of talent, etc. He did not make these up out of thin air, but used the information he found on his space computer. The content was written in great detail, and all kinds of drawbacks were written out incisively. It was not until the light in the study was turned on by Jiang Sirui that he realized it was already daybreak outside.

"Why did you come back so late today?" Liu Xufeng asked when they sat down to have a drink together.

Liu Xufeng has now been reinstated and is currently in charge of other work. His family and children are all in other places. His wife passed away a few years ago, so Jiang Sirui took him in to stay for a while. They would drink together from time to time.

Jiang Yan told Liu Xufeng about what happened at the meeting today. After listening, he sighed. He had been abroad, to those developed countries, and knew that the prosperity abroad was something that could not be achieved in China at present. Once the country opened its doors, the loss of talent was inevitable, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

"Are you offering such large-scale high salaries just to prevent these things?" Jiang Sirui asked. She had the same question at the beginning and asked Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan was always vague.

"Yes, if we can't retain talents now, it will be difficult to retain them in the future, especially these older generation of technical personnel who returned from studying abroad. They all have real talents and skills, but they are just delayed by time." Jiang Yan picked up the wine glass and drank it.

"Xiao Jiang, you did the right thing. Talent is the most important thing at all times. Without talent, the country and even the enterprises cannot develop at all and will be ruined sooner or later. I support you. If you need me, just let me know. I will talk to the old guys later. I believe that all of us old guys will support you." Liu Xufeng looked at Jiang Yan and said.
