Chapter 436 Without delay
The first day of work after the holiday.

It wasn't just Liu Haizhong's family that had the accident; the steel rolling mill also had a major incident.

The steel mill has just started operation and there are many things that need to be dealt with urgently.

These matters are closely related to everyone in the steel mill, not just the workers, but also the leaders and cadres of all ranks.

As the saying goes, food and supplies must be prepared before troops move forward. As a large factory with thousands of employees, a steel rolling mill must first do a good job in logistics if it wants to ensure production.

At this time, all the leaders of the steel rolling mill gathered together.

Director Yang saw that everyone had arrived and said, "Let's start the meeting now."

Everyone sat upright.

"The steel mill officially opens today, and there are many things that need to be dealt with urgently. I won't waste time talking and will get straight to the point."

Everyone looked at Director Yang's serious and solemn attitude, and felt that something was wrong. Generally speaking, small matters are handled in big meetings, and big matters are handled in small meetings.

Now that we are holding a meeting to discuss important matters, it means that this matter is closely related to everyone and everyone must be adequately prepared.

"Deputy Director Li." Director Yang looked at Li Huaide.

"The grain inventory in the factory is only enough to ensure the operation of the steel mill for five days. Please fill the gap in grain as soon as possible."

Li Huaide nodded: "I will always follow up on the food issue."

"It's not enough to just follow up. Deputy Director Zhang of the grain station left Sijiucheng the day before yesterday, and our steel mill's relationship with the grain station has been severed."

"I don't care what you guys in logistics think. No matter what, we will do everything we can to get in touch with the grain station and reconnect."

"There are thousands of people working in the steel mill, and we must ensure that there is an adequate supply of food. There must be no mistakes."

Zhang Lan’s departure is not just her own business, but also Zhang’s father’s.

The grain station can only guarantee basic food for the steel rolling mill. If you want more food, you must have connections. Now that Zhang's father is gone, the gap in connections must be filled.

Director Yang's words were very serious, just like interrogating a prisoner. Li Huaide frowned slightly when he heard his tone, feeling that he was not giving him face.

But it was only the beginning of the year and there were a lot of things to do, and Li Huaide didn't want to go against Director Yang.

"Director Yang, don't worry, I will personally take responsibility for the shortage of grain stations."

Director Yang nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Deputy Director Li. I'll feel relieved to have you here."

Li Huaide looked at the purchasing department, they were the protagonists of this mission.

"It's over, it's over." The heads and deputy heads of the third and fourth purchasing departments felt that something was wrong. When they saw Li Huaide looking at them, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Huaide would definitely be able to establish a good relationship with the grain station if he personally took charge of the matter, but that would make things difficult for them as they had to accompany him for drinking.

In the past, there were quite a few deputy section chiefs who had to accompany drinking, and one or two of them would have to lie at home to recuperate.

The current situation is even worse.

The people around the purchasing department couldn't help but look at them with sympathy, "The purchasing department is going to be in big trouble."

Director Yang doesn't care which department gets unlucky.

Then he looked at the canteen director Zhao Gang.

"Where is Director Zhao Gang of the cafeteria?"

"Here!" Zhao Gang stood up quickly.

Director Yang looked at Zhao Gang.

"There is not much food in the factory. You canteen staff need to think of a way to ensure that the workers are well fed and that food is saved."

"Your cafeteria must do this no matter what. Do you hear me?"

"Ah, Director Yang..." Zhao Gang looked embarrassed and hesitated to agree.

Isn't Director Yang's request difficult for him? He wants the workers to have enough food, but he also wants to save food.

When we are full we waste food, and now we have to save food. Isn’t this asking too much?

Director Yang didn't care: "What? Can't do it? If you can't do it, you don't have to do it. Give up your position and let someone who can do it take it!"

Hearing that he had to give way to someone else, Zhao Gang quickly agreed, "I can do it, Director Yang, I will do my best to make it happen."

"I hope you can do what you say. My in-laws will come to check in two days. It's useless to just talk nicely. I want to see how you do it."

Director Yang made a comment and gestured for him to sit down.

The two section chiefs of the purchasing department looked at Zhao Gang sympathetically, and Zhao Gang looked back at them, his face showing an expression of wanting to cry but not being able to.

Both sides are in the same boat and face arduous tasks.

Seeing that the two departments were in such a miserable state, the others couldn't help but feel sympathetic, and soon it would be their turn.

"Where is the Director of Publicity?"

"Director Yang!" The director of the Propaganda Department stood up quickly.

"You guys in the Propaganda Department should also stay busy. When you have time, write a few more radio articles to inspire everyone and boost morale so that everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties."

"Starting tomorrow, I will hear at least four of your radio articles every day. I will hear your voices every morning, at lunch, and on my way to and from get off work in the afternoon."

"Can you do that?"

"Yes! I guarantee that the task will be completed!" The director of the Propaganda Department agreed loudly. How could he refuse? The first two departments were in such a miserable state. What was the point of him refusing?

He also didn't expect that this matter would fall on the Propaganda Department. Having to write four radio articles a day, isn't this going to cost him his life?

Director Yang then asked, "Also, are the projectionists in our factory under your supervision?"

"Yes."

"You should ask him to go to the countryside more often, show more movies to the villagers, make them happy, and find a way to get some grain from them, no matter how much."

"One or two catties is not too little, five or ten catties is not too much. We must give full play to our shameless and thick-skinned spirit and make sure we get the food."

The head of the publicity department responded, "Yes, I will definitely tell him."

Director Yang then made arrangements for several departments, and the burden on each section chief and director was greatly increased.

No one has an easy time. Even the least valued health department has been assigned a lot of work and requirements.

The sanitation team leader Niu Laxi had never expected that a cleaning department like his would one day be tasked with purchasing food.

What do you want him to use to purchase food?
Take shit?
That's not impossible.

Arrange things one by one, and then come to the most important thing.

"This year's reward system has been changed. The original system that only low-level workers and apprentices can participate has been abolished. Now everyone can participate, including mid-level and senior workers."

"The selection criteria originally only included scrap rate and finished product quantity. Now we have added the difficulty of the workpiece. These three are used as the judging criteria, with the difficulty of the workpiece being given priority."

As soon as Director Yang finished speaking, the faces of the leaders changed slightly.

Secretary Wang took the lead in refusing: "Director Yang, this is not good."

Director Yang looked at him and said, "Secretary Wang, tell me, what's wrong with this?"

Last year, the implementation of this reward system was proposed to ensure that production tasks could proceed smoothly.

It has been on trial for 4 months now and the workers have gotten used to it.

Secretary Wang: "Letting mid-level and senior workers participate, and adding the difficulty of the workpiece, isn't that too bad for the low-level workers? How can they compete with the senior workers?"

“Besides, there are still many low-level workers and apprentices who have not received their rewards.”

Once the difficulty of the workpiece is taken into account, low-level workers have no advantage. No matter how low the scrap rate or how high the output of finished products is, it is not as important as the difficulty of the workpiece.

There is no need to have specific standards for catching up. No matter how many low-level workpieces you make, they are not as good as making one high-level workpiece.

After all, there are many low-level workers in the steel rolling mill, but there are clearly many middle and senior workers.

Factory Director Yang treats everyone equally. "I have given them opportunities. From October last year to now, these low-level workers and apprentices have received a lot of rewards in the past few months."

"At the time, none of the middle and senior workers participated. Now that it has been changed back, they are not happy. How do you think the middle and senior workers will feel?"

"Secretary Wang, don't forget that many of the factory's orders require mid- to high-level workers to complete."

"As for those who didn't receive the reward, it's because they were not good enough. It's impossible for a system to take care of all aspects."

At this point, Secretary Wang remained silent.

The steel rolling mill is a large factory, so the orders it accepts are naturally difficult. Low-level workers are unable to complete these workpieces and can only assist middle- and senior-level workers.

Rough-process the workpiece in advance, and they have nothing to do after it is done.

"Okay, just do as I say. If they are dissatisfied, tell me and I will handle it."

"Now that we have finished talking about things, let's go and deal with it."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

After that, Director Yang left first. Director Yang acted so vigorously and without regard for others in order to ensure the operation of the steel mill and to set a tone for everyone.

This year is not easy. If you want to keep your position secure, you'd better do good things with all your heart.

As soon as Director Yang left, everyone returned to their respective departments and began to arrange tasks in a hurry.

Purchasing Section.

Sun Yongkai from Purchasing Department 3 and Zong Changyi from Purchasing Department 4, for once, put aside their past grudges and brought people from the two purchasing departments together.

"Everyone, we will be busy from now on. The higher-ups have given us orders to procure food no matter what."

"From now on, we will put aside any conflicts we had in the past and try our best to purchase this month's food first."

"Did you hear me?"

"heard it!"

"Okay, all buyers, get out there! Go to the countryside and do the shopping!"

In an instant, a large number of buyers came out of the purchasing department.

The two section chiefs looked at several deputy section chiefs, and the next task was theirs.

"Everyone, I won't repeat what Director Yang said at the meeting. Now, not only Director Yang is watching us, but Deputy Director Li is also watching us."

"This battle is very difficult. Everyone, be mentally prepared and start taking action. If you can't do it, don't come back."

Several deputy section chiefs went out with bitter faces to establish relationships with the people at the grain station.

"Let's go." The two section chiefs went to find Li Huaide. They were not in much better condition either.

canteen.

Zhao Gang went straight to the cafeteria and gathered everyone together.

"The leaders above have spoken, and our canteen has to shoulder the heavy responsibility."

"Not only do we have to cook good meals to feed the workers, but we also have to save food. If you have any ideas, please share them."

Zhao Gang couldn't think of a solution for such a difficult task and could only brainstorm.

But everyone in the cafeteria was in the same situation as him, with an embarrassed look on their faces.

One worker grumbled: "It's impossible to feed the workers and save food at the same time."

Zhao Gang turned around and glared at him. "This is a mission. We must complete it no matter what. I'm not here to listen to your complaints. You might as well find a solution instead."

"If you can't figure it out, you will need food coupons to eat in the future. Full food coupons. Don't even think about taking advantage of others and eating for free."

Canteen workers usually didn't pay for their meals with food coupons, they just took the food away with them. However, in order to deal with inspections from above, everyone would put in some food coupons.

If other workers had five kilograms of food coupons, they only had two kilograms, or even less.

In order to cope with Director Yang's task, Zhao Gang could only take advantage of them, which would save him some money.

There was silence in the cafeteria for a while. No one spoke, and everyone was racking their brains to find a solution.

After a while, a worker tentatively asked, "How about going to the countryside to dig some wild vegetables and make wild vegetable dumplings?"

"Tell me in detail what's going on?" Zhao Gang's eyes lit up when he saw someone speaking. No matter whether it was good or bad, there was finally a solution.

"This is how I spent it. Wasn't it Chinese New Year a few days ago? I went back to my hometown."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Gang interrupted him: "Don't talk about those nonsense, just get to the point. What's the matter with the wild vegetable dumplings?"

"This wild vegetable dumpling is great. If it's cooked well, it can fill you up, save food, and make you eat well. Isn't that what the leader said?"

"Is it really as good as you say?" Zhao Gang couldn't believe it.

"Really? I've eaten it. A bag of wild vegetables in a steamed bun tastes great and can fill your stomach. It's free, you can just go to the mountains and dig them up."

"Okay, if it's as good as you say, you will definitely be one of the outstanding workers of the month."

"Thank you, director."

Zhao Gang waved his hand: "Alas, don't thank me yet, we have to try it first and see how the workers react."

"Since you are the one who brought this up, then we won't bother you twice. You can handle this matter. If you have any requests, just let us know. We will all cooperate with you on how to do it."

"Oh, good leader, I'll make sure the task is completed."

This is what a good leader is, he gives benefits when they are due and delegates power when it is necessary. Unlike some leaders, he takes the benefits but does not provide convenience to others, restricting others in every way.

If you don't do it well, you will be scolded.

Everyone in the steel rolling mill was on the move, and no one was idle, except for the people with connections in the purchasing departments one and two.

Even the security guards were busy, checking the warehouse to see if anyone was hiding anything.

"Puff puff~" Suddenly, a sound came from the horn.

"The Red Star Steel Mill Radio Station is now reporting a piece of news."

"The leadership has solemnly decided to adjust the reward system for outstanding workers. This adjustment will no longer be limited to low-level workers and apprentices."

“All workers can participate, including mid-level and senior workers.”

The workshop workers listened to the adjustment of the reward system with mixed expressions of joy and sorrow.

"Great, I can participate too. It's finally our turn."

"No, if the middle and senior workers can participate, then there is no chance for us low-level workers. I haven't been selected yet, and I'm gone just like that. How can I compete with them?"

"Do you think we still have a chance after this change?"

"I don't think there's a chance. Intermediate and senior workers can all participate. What role can we low-level workers have? What skills do we have?"

A group of workers were talking at once and the scene was in chaos.

At the end of the discussion, the low-level workers and apprentices became excited.

"I don't accept it. If they join, what will it have to do with us? We have been living on this little reward, and now it's gone. What else can we do?"

"That's right. Those mid-level and senior workers don't have much money. How much do we have? They don't lack that much, but we do."

"Everyone, come with me to find Director Yang. We don't accept it!"

Soon, the angry low-level workers and apprentices rushed to Director Yang's office.

The mid-level and senior workers just watched from the sidelines and did not stop them. In fact, their making a fuss was a good thing for them.

Wouldn't it be better to make Director Yang unhappy and simply not let them participate, just like what happened last year?

Although they have a lot of money, they cannot buy food with it.

The reward is not just miscellaneous tickets, but also food.

The black market is now empty. All the black market grain traders have been arrested. With no place to buy food, what’s the use of having more money?

"Director Yang! Come out!"

"Director Yang, give us an explanation!"

"Director Yang, we quit!"

In the office, Director Yang looked at the workers making trouble downstairs and smiled gently. He had expected this situation.

He has been thinking about the reward system these days. In fact, this change is just to distribute the profit share that originally belonged to low-level workers and apprentices.

The number of these workers is large, and it is not easy to get a turn, but if the changes are not made, it will discourage middle and senior workers.

We can't delay their participation, as that would dampen the production enthusiasm of middle and senior workers.

The middle and senior level workers are the backbone and mainstay of the steel rolling mill. They can do what the low-level workers can do.

What they can do, low-level workers cannot.

"Xiao Wan, let them choose two representatives to come up and talk to me."

"I'll go now." Wan Shen went downstairs immediately.

After discussion, Director Yang and they reached a consensus, which was also something Director Yang had thought of a long time ago.

The quota for outstanding workers will be distributed evenly according to the share of each workshop.

In this way, low-, medium- and senior-level workers will not compete for each other's quotas. All three parties will have quotas, achieving a win-win situation for all parties, and the problem can be considered solved.

The two representatives went back and talked to the low-level workers, but no matter how angry they were, it was of no avail.

Directly, "Don't forget who your master is? Are you trying to take your master's place?"

They were repulsed by this remark and could only accept their fate. No matter who else's quota they tried, they could not snatch their master's. They were not Jia Dongxu and did not have the heart to respect their teacher.

The reward mechanism has been formed at this point and will basically not change.
