The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 696 We women must recognize the reality clearly

Wu Ming parked his bicycle and said, "Today, the factory organized a tree planting outside the city. I am responsible for digging holes."

Qin Huairu, who was clean and tidy, smiled and said: "Xiao Ming arranged an easy job for me, asking me to name everyone and register the quantity."

Although there are cases where fruit trees are cut down to plant food, afforestation has never stopped. In recent years, large-scale tree planting has been carried out across the country.

It is a big expense for the production team to buy saplings. More and more production teams are beginning to cultivate their own saplings, "self-picking, self-cultivation, and self-production".

At this stage, forest coverage is still growing slowly.

However, after the second forest resources census from 1973 to 76, deforestation became more serious, and the forest coverage rate began to decline.

Social demand has increased significantly, and there is no foreign exchange available to import large quantities of wood. It is helpless and normal to cut more.

People must give priority to ensuring food, clothing, housing and transportation. Once these basic needs are met, they will focus on other aspects.

Wu Ming said it smoothly and complained: "You lesbians always get all kinds of preferential treatment."

Qin Huairu retorted: "Female employees work much harder than you male employees."

"After get off work, I have to cook, take care of the children, serve my parents-in-law, and do the laundry. I do more work than you do at work."

After hearing this, Wu Ming was not in a hurry to go to the bathhouse, "I can't say much about taking care of my children and my parents-in-law."

"How can you, the female employees, do more work at work than our male employees?"

Qin Huairu was a bit tongue-tied just now, but she still said plausibly, "I'm definitely no less qualified than you."

Wu Ming chuckled twice, "If they were no less important than us, the team leaders, section leaders, and workshop directors wouldn't dislike female workers."

"There are so many people, but the amount of tasks completed is obviously small, which seriously reduces the labor productivity of all employees."

Qin Huairu argued: "That's because female employees often have to take time off to take care of their children."

"In the corridors of the hospital, I have never seen any young gay men taking their children to see the doctor."

"As long as you gay men take time off to take your children to the doctor, the productivity of us lesbians will also increase."

This was indeed the case, and it seemed to make sense. Wu Ming was speechless for a moment.

Yan Bugui spoke helpfully, "That's because gay men have a higher salary level and more money will be deducted for asking for leave. They are all members of the same family, so they must be able to get the most bang for their buck."

“Similarly, if lesbians’ wages are high, it will be more cost-effective for gay men to take time off.”

Wu Ming laughed and said, "Third uncle, you really know how to live a good life!"

Qin Huairu said unconvinced: "Then why are gay men's salary levels higher?"

Wu Ming said unceremoniously: "Young female employees don't spend their minds on improving their skills. They only think about what to eat, what to wear, and how to dress up all day long."

"Salary upgrades are like this. One step is slow, and the next step is slow."

Qin Huairu retorted: "You are only talking about a small group of female employees. There are also a lot of male employees who are idle all day long."

Uncle Dong understood again, "Actually, this is also the fault of the woman herself."

"When looking for a partner, pick someone here and there. Don't pick someone whose salary level is lower than yours."

"Since I have chosen to marry someone with a higher salary level and have taken advantage, I will definitely have to pay for it later."

Wu Ming smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Dong, you are absolutely right!"

Qin Huairu thought about it again, "There are also couples of the same rank, and the lesbians also ask for leave to take care of their children."

Wu Ming immediately said: "What you are talking about is only a few isolated cases. I don't believe that there is not one gay man who asked for leave to take his child to see a doctor."

"We are definitely discussing most of the situations."

Silly Zhu came back holding the bicycle, "The courtyard is so lively today."

Yan Bugui's eyes were sharp, "Silly Zhu, you have several lunch boxes today!"

Seeing that everyone's attention shifted to Shazhu, Qin Huairu, who failed in the debate, took the opportunity to sneak back to the middle courtyard. She decided to ask her man that night how she could win the argument.

Silly Zhu said cheerfully: "Help other leaders cook and entertain guests from out of town."

"The guests will be flying back soon, so it's hard to pack them up and take them away. Doesn't this make it easier for me?"

Yan Bugui said wisely: "You can fly! That's not easy."

To buy a plane ticket, you not only need a letter of introduction and a work permit, but it is not a special case. The person taking the flight needs to be at least the county group level.

Air tickets can easily cost tens or even hundreds of yuan, or two or three hundred yuan for longer distances. Without reimbursement, not many people can afford it.

Uncle Dong ignored Shazhu's lunch box and said, "Is your wife sick? I met her in the morning and she looked like she didn't look right."

Silly Zhu was even happier, "She is pregnant again, and she has been retching for the past two days."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "You can do it, Silly Zhu. Congratulations."

Uncle Dong said with concern: "You have two children to raise, Silly Zhu, your salary is a bit low."

Yan Bugui disagreed and said, "Old Dong, you have gone astray."

"Teacher Ran also gets a salary, and Shazhu can bring some vegetables back from time to time. It's no problem for the two of them to support three or five more."

Silly Zhu said cheerfully: "Third uncle, you are really good at speaking."

Uncle Dong thought about it and found that, as Yan Bugui said, raising children is not a big problem. "Who told me last time that the rain is about to happen?"

Silly Zhu replied: "She has given birth to a boy. She is in confinement."

Uncle Dong said in a reproachful tone: "I didn't even see you bring anything to see the rain."

Silly Zhu patiently explained: "I asked Xiao Ming to help get some tonics. I got them in the factory and sent them directly to Rainwater."

Uncle Dong said with emotion: "It feels like just a blink of an eye, everyone is getting married, starting a business and raising children. Time flies so fast."

Yan Bugui also sighed: "It's quite fast."

As mentioned earlier, Section Chief Li has been a little irritable recently.

In addition to the many meetings and the fact that Silly Pillar gave birth one after another, the bellies of the three women here did not move.

Li Ming was a little anxious.

Qin Huairu thought of the little problem in the afternoon, "How can I win them?"

"Why do you say you win?"

"That's what I'm thinking about. Please help me think about it."

Li Ming said casually: "What a simple thing."

"You can say it's the result of internal strife among men. Those with lower salary levels can't compete with those with higher salary levels. Anyway, it's all nonsense, no matter how you talk about it."

"Furthermore, if a female employee is pregnant and has a baby, it will take her three years to get pregnant. It's crazy if her salary level can catch up."

Qin Huairu, who was blushing, smiled sweetly, "Yes! In the workshop, female employees who get married early are generally of a lower rank than those who get married later."

Lou Xiao'e interjected: "Sister Qin. In fact, there are also problems with the workplace."

"We women can still compete with men in the easy work of the workshop."

"We women have to recognize the reality of those backbreaking and tiring tasks. We are really not as good as men."

Qin Huairu sighed: "It seems that we women have no future."

Li Ming hugged her and joked: "Why do you always want to stand out? What? You still want to kick me away?"

Lou Xiao'e chuckled and said, "Sister Qin, kick him and let us live together."

Qin Huairu said with a sweet smile: "Then you have to kick him, and you will become my wife." Lou Xiao'e said with a playful smile: "You are so beautiful, it is better for me to be your husband."

Li Ming interrupted with a smile and said, "You two beauties, please wake up. You have to wait until daybreak to daydream."

Lou Xiao'e complained: "It's so annoying. Sister Qin and I are having fun."

Li Ming said with a smile: "Sister Qin is going back, let's go wash up together."

Qin Huairu also remembered, "If Sophora japonica wakes up and can't find me, she will cry. I have to clean up quickly."

The living facilities in the small world are complete, and Qin Huairu took care of them in a few moments and went home first.

Not yet sleepy, Li Ming and Lou Xiao'e were chatting in the hot pool.

Lou Xiaoe shared the Canton Fair publicity with Li Ming as an anecdote.

"But one day a stupid person deliberately made the quotations old to win the favor of the staff."

Li Ming frowned slightly and said: "Such a little clever, regardless of place, people in Hong Kong City must also do that."

"Originally, they could promote it however they wanted, but now it seems that it may affect orders from food import and export companies."

"The chain reaction will affect the pork allocation of the ham sausage processing plant, which will also affect the output value and profits."

Lou Xiao'e wondered: "Didn't you tell me that feed technology has been widely promoted in several northern provinces and that pork production can be greatly increased?"

"There is too much pork, and the cold storage can't hold it all. We have to transport it to the processing plant."

Li Ming explained: "They can't make ham, but they can make sausage."

"That is to say, the financial situation is tight and infrastructure construction has been greatly reduced. Otherwise, a large number of ham sausage production lines will be launched in various places."

Lou Xiaoe asked curiously: "Then what are you going to do?" She often studied and borrowed from her men's ways of handling things, and for the time being she felt that she could make rapid progress.

Li Ming's response was simple, "I will ask the people at the ham sausage branch to inquire about the order status of the food import and export company."

"If there are still a lot of orders, just ignore them."

"If orders are significantly reduced, we should contact the planning teams of several provincial committees in the North China Economic Cooperation Zone in advance."

Lou Xiao'e said casually: "The capital is worried that there are not enough orders. The port city has too many orders and there are not enough containers to ship out."

"Coordinating cargo ships with several shipping companies wastes a lot of our manpower."

"If the shipping company in the port city hadn't ordered a large number of containers, I would have thought that we would have found a manufacturer to help produce the containers ourselves."

Li Ming kissed her and said, "Take your time."

Lou Xiao'e felt sweet in her heart, "The main reason is that the sailing time to Magnesium Country is too long."

“If you’re going to places that are very close to Vietnam or Singapore, the shipping company’s turnover rate is fast, so you can switch to another one in time.”

"Can the mainland produce containers? Help us produce some? Our own cargo ships will also need them in the future."

Lou Xiao'e's proposal immediately aroused a lot of dissatisfaction in Li Ming. "The steel in the mainland is not good and the production is not good. The sea climate is more corrosive. I am afraid that the container will fall apart at sea."

"I pushed out the machinery branch because it was too annoying to hold quality production meetings."

"The machinery branch concluded that the reason for unstable quality was that there was a problem with the parts processed by the machine tool shop."

"The machine tool shop also has a reason, saying that the materials given by the casting shop are of poor quality."

"Those in the casting workshop also have their own opinions, saying that the steel billet provided by the steel plant is not good, and the coke supplied by the coal company is also not good."

"This is still inside the factory. The external power supply is also easy to break and can only reduce the operating speed. At the motor factory, there are many blisters in the castings and it is difficult to process the bearings."

"Anyway, it just doesn't work this way and that doesn't work. No one says they are responsible."

Being able to chatter a lot obviously made Section Chief Li very depressed.

Lou Xiao'e rested her head on his shoulder and said softly: "What is the problem?"

Li Ming let out a long breath and said, "I asked the uncle privately, where are the production difficulties in the factory?"

"My uncle told me the truth. Material reasons only accounted for 5 points. The other 3 points were due to the factory workers not paying attention to production, and the remaining 2 points were due to poor production management."

Lou Xiao'e analyzed: "Employees' lack of attention is also a management problem. Summarizing experience and doing a good job in production management can improve a lot."

Li Ming said the biggest reason, "No one dares to punish workers who produce defective products. The workshop director, section leader, and team leader can no longer control the workers."

"And now there are too many meetings, which delays production time."

"The working hours for production are not enough, and the quality and quantity of the products will definitely be affected. The workshop can only make do with what is available and release it."

"It is impossible to reduce meeting time and improve management work for the time being."

Lou Xiao'e now has rich management experience, "Okay. Without punitive measures, you will definitely not be able to control people."

Li Ming said quietly: "Yes. Human nature is like this."

the next day.

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The new key study class proposed by Li Ming was established with the consent of several deputy directors.

The personnel list was provided by Section Chief Li, which was a small preparation for everyone before the new director arrived.

There are only a few positions, and there are upper and lower positions. No one wants Factory Director Yang and his gang to fight back against them, the victors.

Several deputy directors went to their respective departments today to inspect their work, so as not to leave any clues to others.

Li Ming also inspected the factory, got into his pickup truck and drove to the ham processing factory in Haidian.

Outside the workshop of the processing plant, several male workers gathered together to smoke and chat.

"I heard someone said that the steel rolling mill should be transferred from the Metallurgical Department to the First Machinery Department."

"It's impossible. It must have been rowed 10 years ago."

"I heard another version. The steel rolling mill will be transferred from the Ministry of Metallurgy to the Beijing Metallurgical Bureau."

"Downgrade? What should the bosses in the factory do?"

"Then I don't know. I also heard what others said."

Schools are discussing education reform, and enterprises and units are also discussing reform. There is no consensus or plan on how to make specific changes. Nowadays, everything is possible.

"Section Chief Li is here."

"Impossible, Section Chief Li should be in a meeting at the main factory right now."

"It's really Section Chief Li's minivan! Run quickly!"

The few people who were smoking quickly dispersed and slipped back to their respective production stations to pretend to be active.

No matter when and where there are people like this, they always like to cheat and play tricks, as if being lazy for a while means they have achieved great success.

To say how big of a mistake they made, it's not that big of a mistake, but it did affect the mood of all employees.

Emotions can impact productivity.

Li Ming has always been strict with this kind of people.
