Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 111 Proposal
"To solve this problem, we have to reassure the masters. The current situation in our factory is just right for solving this problem, because our factory is in need of a large number of mid-level and senior workers. We don't have to worry about the apprentices starving to death. In addition, we can give rewards, which are different from the rewards for apprentices."

"We can set a certain time frame and reward a certain amount of money to bring a junior worker to level 4. As long as the research is reasonable, it can fully motivate the workers."

Yang Zhenyu did not directly give a plan on how to implement it, but only gave a plan. The specific implementation plan needs to be discussed and improved by the entire leadership group. In this way, everyone will share the blame, but everyone will definitely benefit from the rewards.

There will be no good ending if you eat alone. Not to mention whether other colleagues are happy about it, it is hard to say whether you can carry on with some things by yourself.

After hearing what Yang Zhenyu said, everyone fell silent. They were also thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"Well, Comrade Zhenyu's suggestion is good, but I still have a doubt. Our country now has a clear wage system. If we do this at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the higher-ups." Secretary Liang spoke first.

"This is indeed a problem, but we haven't broken the rules. Our superiors cannot assign more middle and senior workers to us, so we train them ourselves. There's nothing wrong with that, right? Training workers requires tuition fees, right? There's nothing wrong with us paying teaching subsidies to the masters, right?" Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

This is a substitution of concepts. Sending workers to study further and giving bonuses to senior workers are two completely different things.

But what does the factory need now?
What is needed is production capacity and mid- to senior-level workers, so everyone will be able to adapt.

"Director, I think what Comrade Zhenyu said is right. We have to charge tuition fees for teaching students. Why don't we report it to our superiors? Maybe they will agree." Secretary Liang looked at Director Yang and said.

"The most critical issue here is the intensity of the reward. If it's too little, senior workers will look down on it. If it's too much, the pressure we bear will increase. In the end, it may cause some losses to the factory." Deputy Director Li said.

"Well, I also think this plan is feasible, but we need to discuss a detailed plan. Otherwise, if the superiors really ask about it, we can't be ignorant of everything, right?"

There was no way. He did not offer any suggestions during the specific discussion and was mainly there to listen. After all, it was he who came up with the idea, so there was no need for him to compete for the credit with others.

Fortunately, after a day of research, there are finally results. Tomorrow, Director Yang and Secretary Liang will go to their superiors to apply for this matter.

The entire day was spent discussing this issue, even lunch was eaten in the conference room. We discussed the issue while eating, just to finalize the matter faster.

"Comrade Zhenyu's opinion is worthy of our study. For example, how to reward those who are promoted from Level 1 to Level 2 also needs to take into account the actual situation of our factory. In addition, there is the issue of annual reports, which also needs to be resolved." Deputy Director Wang followed.

Even if you are kind enough, will others share it with you?
"That's right. The most critical issue now is the intensity. If it's too much, it will indeed be detrimental to unity." Director Yang nodded.

"I was a little distracted because of some personal matters." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Happy event?" Secretary Liang asked.

"Comrade Zhenyu, why do you look a little absent-minded?" Director Yang teased Yang Zhenyu after they finished discussing the serious matters.

As factory leaders, none of them are fools. They all know that Yang Zhenyu has divided the credit at this time. Looking at Yang Zhenyu's calm and composed look, how could he not be confident?
If you are not proactive now, how will you feel comfortable getting a share of the pie in the future?

"Well, my wife is pregnant. It's the first time in her life, so she's inevitably a little excited." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"This is a great event, Director. Why don't we let Comrade Zhenyu get off work half an hour earlier?" Secretary Liang looked at Director Yang and said.

"Secretary Liang is right. You, Engineer Yang, are still sitting here calmly despite such a big event. You are really amazing." Director Yang also joked. "Yes, I still remember how excited I was when I heard my wife was pregnant. I couldn't even sleep well, let alone work." Deputy Director Li joked.

"Well, this isn't something that has just been discovered, and the baby isn't about to be born, so don't be anxious." Yang Zhenyu said, waving his hands repeatedly.

"Ha ha……"

Several people in the office laughed. Good things had already happened today, and now another great thing had been achieved. Everyone was in a good mood.

"Okay, now that we have settled this matter today, you should go and see your wife. What's so good about a bunch of old men like us?" Director Yang said, waving his hand.

"Then I'll leave." Yang Zhenyu didn't hesitate and stood up directly.

I've been busy all day and I only have half an hour left. I don't even need a leave note and can leave right away.

Yang Zhenyu still has this right. The nature of his job has determined it. Who knows if he went out to look for inspiration?

Yang Zhenyu happily left the factory with his wife, pedaling his bicycle excitedly all the way.

"Slow down, slow down!" Zhou Qianqian was so scared that she sat behind Yang Zhenyu and patted his back repeatedly to ask him to slow down.

"Is it fast? Not fast!" Yang Zhenyu said, turning his head, and then continued to pedal hard.

I must be excited, this is the first child in two lives.

I couldn't suppress my excitement as a new father, and it was already great to be able to have a serious meeting in the factory for a day.

In response to this, Zhou Qianqian was speechless, but she also felt sweet happiness in her heart. She could see that her man was truly excited.

Yang Zhenyu did not rush home, but went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. He usually carried some tickets and money with him in case of emergency.

Yang Zhenyu bought a lot of meat, ribs, candy and other things.

Zhou Qianqian felt so distressed when she saw this, as these things cost a lot of money.

"Okay, okay, don't buy it. We've spent a lot of money and we won't be able to get it later." Zhou Qianqian said, pulling Yang Zhenyu.

"A lot? Not much, right?" Yang Zhenyu scratched his head and said.

"This is not enough. Let's go home quickly. If it's too late, my aunt and the others will be worried." Zhou Qianqian said, pulling Yang Zhenyu.

"Well, let's go home." Yang Zhenyu looked at the things in his hand and agreed.
