- Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home
- Chapter 294 We are different
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Ngee Ann is starting to get a little hot in the morning and evening. Even in the north, it’s hot during the day.
Now, people all over the country are taller. Because most areas are about to harvest food, and there will be a lot of rain this year, so the food harvest is going to be bumper. We have finally passed three years of famine, and it is hot now, but with the current water storage, many places do not have to worry about sowing and harvesting in autumn.
But this is only the harvest of the first season, and it can only alleviate the food problem in many areas for the time being. Urban residents have lowered their rations in the past two years. If we want to resume rationing, we have to wait at least for another season.
Recently, Dai Qianqian’s work has been slowly developing, and more than ten art soldiers have been recruited. Most of the children of military workers in the army are women. The men’s families are more willing to arrange to serve as soldiers and be cared for. The army also recruited several male soldiers who could perform as actors and sing. In addition, the families of the martyrs have also recruited a few people to come over.
The small team of the Ngee Ann Art Troupe has finally gathered together, but a movie is still being shot. Film is expensive these days, and there are no special effects. When shooting a scene, you often have to rehearse it in advance, and setting up the scene is also slow. It’s not like later generations, who just shoot directly and shout “click” if something doesn’t look right.
According to Dai Qianqian’s estimation, the filming will not be completed until at least August. At that time, Xiaoyu and Shishi could see themselves in the movie in the cinema. Of course, so does Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng plays a guest role in a positive way. But it only appeared for a while, and a young officer led his team through the city in the plot. The local gentry was frightened into thinking that they were going to stay here, and the people seemed to see hope.
But the troops led by Luo Cheng were just passing by, and they took care of one or two bad guys and left. Xiaoyu and Shishi played the roles of women who were bullied. Later, they were bullied by a rich man. They deducted wages from their work and refused to give them food. They went to find people in the army to expose the rich man.
When the rich man discovered that the two were not there, he was frightened to death when he heard that they had secretly run away to expose him. But when Xiaoyu and Shishi arrived at the temporary foothold of the army, they found that the army had set off early in the morning. They went to chase him, but in the end they failed to catch him and were captured by the rich man.
Anyway, this movie is about life in a certain place before liberation. Later, new troops came. This time they really wanted to rectify the local situation, but everyone was afraid that the troops would come and go this time. Many people were afraid to speak nonsense, but with the subsequent publicity and enlightenment, everyone had the courage to stand up.
The content is very simple, but this is what ordinary people love to watch these days. It can also inspire everyone to appreciate this hard-won stable life.
The people who play the roles of the troops in the movie are all transferred from the army. Most of the people who play ordinary people are nearby residents, and some fixed roles are played by people from the art troupe. The actors are all in charge of the meal and don’t get a penny of pay. As I said before, the people in the art troupe are all paid, and the salary cannot be paid from the money made in the movie.
Even if he was in charge of food, it would only be cornbread. As for vegetables, Luo Cheng asked the cooperative in Longjin Town to send a lot of vegetables and eggs. There is also chicken, but it is impossible to eat chicken every day. It would be great if all the vegetables can be fried in lard.
Wowotou is already considered a very good meal for the troops and the residents nearby. At least it’s not rare, it’s solid stuff. Dai Qianqian, Zhao Qian, Tan Meng and others used to eat rough food in the art troupe. Even in my own home, the family’s ration is not enough to eat refined grains every day.
But at Luo Cheng’s house, after a few months, the appetite has somewhat improved. I used to dare to say how many bowls of steamed buns I could eat, but now I can only say how many bowls of rice I could eat.
As for Luo Bing, a porter, manual labor, and a lot of food, Wowotou can still do a lot. But it doesn’t change at all. I used to be able to eat it dry, but now I eat steamed buns and always want to get some vegetables to eat with it.
This caused Zhao Qian and Tan Meng to wonder if they could always eat together here. They had to pay five yuan every month. But I also know that I can only think about it. After the filming of the movie is completed, many buildings built there for the filming of the movie will be the base of their art troupe. I will live there then, and it is impossible to eat here all the time.
Luo Cheng has recently been separating the projects in the car factory one by one. Except for the repair workshop, other projects can actually be established as factories. Because the demand alone is enough to build a factory for each project. For example, the demand for shock absorbers alone would exceed 10,000 units per month if the company were mass-producing them, plus other usage.
In addition, the water tank, fuel tank, and even the exhaust pipe can be set up as a factory. And now it is time for the current graduating class of each school to graduate. There is no need to say hello to the school in advance. It is the time for students to start allocating wages, or for high school students to find jobs.
People from this province, except for majors that have nothing to do with the industrial zone, basically want to come to work in the industrial zone first. But liberal arts students don’t have much demand in industrial zones, and they still have to go to work in local units.
As for high school students, Luo Cheng can’t actually satisfy everyone. High school students just have more cultural foundation. But without professional knowledge, you can learn and absorb something faster than ordinary people. But to be truly useful, you need training, and in terms of training, some technical positions are actually still implementing a master-apprentice system.
For high school students, the logistics department wants more, as long as they are smart. But other departments really don’t have many advantages. As for teaching, there are only primary schools near the car factory and in the industrial area, which don’t require many people.
But that doesn’t mean that we don’t want these high school students. Luo Cheng will accept all comers anyway. The educated ones are better than the uneducated ones. Those who can go to high school these days are actually smart people. But when you come to the industrial zone, some of them have not found suitable positions. For example, the Propaganda Department also wants some female high school students.
All high school students, as long as they do not feel superior to others, must be given better jobs than ordinary people. Luo Cheng accepted it completely, and directly approached the supervisors of each workshop to take charge. There were actually team leaders under the workshop supervisors. According to the rules, all newcomers are led by the team leader.
But if Luo Cheng wants to train a group of grassroots managers, high school students are more suitable, and they can be led directly by their supervisors. A special assessment system will be implemented. After three months, the ability will be checked. If suitable, they will be at least a team leader and can become a supervisor in half a year. Anyway, it can give them a closer channel for improvement.
Unlike ordinary workers, they can only pass the grade assessment to increase their wages.
Of course, if others have objections to this system, you can go to a high school if you have the ability. Moreover, college students are reserve cadres when they arrive, and their salary is one level higher than that of ordinary regular workers. After a few months, he became a regular employee and became a cadre directly, earning the salary of a skilled worker at level 4 or so. Why don’t you have any opinions?
Even technical secondary school students have higher wages than ordinary workers, and they are basically skilled workers. Therefore, high school students only have an additional channel for rapid promotion. In fact, it depends on performance. If performance is average, the salary is the same as that of ordinary workers, but less than that of technical secondary school students. There is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
And these days, high school students are actually very rare. A high school can graduate at most 200 high school students in a year. There are only a thousand high school students in a city plus the county below. It’s just that because of the problem of the industrial zone, the recruitment of workers during the graduation season is for the entire province, so it is actually difficult for the industrial zone to accept workers.
The only reason is that the treatment here in the industrial zone is so good. Many things are free of charge and can be purchased directly inside. And these days, many bills are actually worth more than cash. For example, fine grain stamps cost more than 16 cents per kilogram of rice, while food stamps cost 2 cents per kilogram. Even in the past two years, food stamps cost 30 or 40 cents per kilogram.
During the famine, it was normal for a pound of rice to sell for 50 or 60 cents in the Pigeon Market. What increased was the price of the tickets. Because with the tickets, you could always buy food for 16 cents, and you could definitely buy food with the tickets.
When you go to work in an industrial area, even if you spend all the money you earn on food, then if you pour out the food, you will know your true monthly income. But if you want to sell grain, you have to be careful. If you go to sell grain, be careful of getting caught. The best thing is for relatives to help each other. Neighbors can help each other occasionally, but don’t go to Pigeon Market to sell food.
If you are caught, they will go directly to the factory leaders. They may punish you by cleaning the toilets for a few months, even if it is a light punishment, or cancel your benefits for a certain period of time, or even serious ones, if you not only do your own work but also do it for others, you will be fired, but To be documented. Being fired doesn’t mean that the industrial zone doesn’t want you, but that no place wants you.
Unless your family situation is extremely poor, the street office may give you a job of pooping for 30 cents a day. Still a casual worker.
Projects at the automobile factory were being moved out quickly, resulting in Director Zhang of the Logistics Department unable to stay at the automobile factory. There was really nothing to deal with here. He could only go to work in the industrial area, but fortunately Luo Cheng also gave him a three-wheeler for transportation. Otherwise, even if he has a bicycle to go to work, he will have to pedal for a long time. It is not appropriate for him to take the free bus every day, and the nature of his job is not suitable for staying in the office as he has to run around.
Director Zhang did not expect that this would happen. He still remembered that when Luo Cheng first came here, he still valued Luo Cheng as an engineer. From the beginning, he asked Luo Cheng to go to Tengbian Tricycle. After finishing it, it was to make it easier for him to commute to get off work. At that time, although he used a bicycle to commute to and from get off work, his usual car was a Jeep.
Now I’m fine, I’m a three-wheeler driver, but there’s one good thing: I can drive a three-wheeler home every day, and my employer will reimburse me for refueling. This three-wheel drive to and from get off work is actually much better than before. Director Zhang’s bicycle can also be used by his family.
This project has been moved to the industrial area, leaving only a repair workshop. After all, the entire Ngee Ann City must have a place to repair cars. But in fact, many factories have not been built for half a year. Although many of the factories initially built were single-story small factories of several hundred square meters in order to speed up the construction.
But the quantity is too large, so we can’t just waste it here. As for the postponement of reconstruction and other matters, if we do that these days, we guarantee that Luo Cheng will receive a big education. If you want to push back on reconstruction, you might as well ask the superiors for a new piece of land.
Don’t we just have a cooperation agreement with the little devil now? A large amount of various products and grain will be sent here. These single-story workshops are most suitable for use as warehouses. And the previous parking shed was completely demolished. A large parking shed was built before to store the products and park the car. They are all made of steel and can be easily dismantled and reused.
After the parking shed is demolished, construction will continue here. Build a transfer station, which can also be said to be a large bus and transportation secondary station in the automobile industry zone.
Not only do they exist here, but they also exist in the automobile industry area. Before the drivers go to work, they can’t just park the buses and trucks on the roadside. Moreover, some passengers come in advance to wait for the bus. If they come here, it is convenient to get on the bus first and wait.
Luo Cheng seems to have been a little distracted recently and has been focusing on people’s livelihood. But it took time to develop. Thousands of students were recruited at once, and workers were coming from all over the country. As for the employee housing that Luo Cheng asked Director Zhang to build around the industrial zone, most of them were originally small single-person houses. There is no policy for transferring registered permanent residence. If you want to transfer, you have to apply separately. Otherwise, Ngee Ann City would not be able to bear the ration of tens of thousands of people.
The current house can only accommodate two bunk beds in one room to accommodate four people. College students will be given separate houses, and we will try our best to solve the housing problem for tens of thousands of people this year.
Supply and marketing cooperatives and farmers’ markets are not something Luo Cheng can open, but he can apply. Now it is also opened in the industrial area to make life easier for people here.
But people from local units really don’t want to operate anything in industrial zones. It’s so miserable. Employees in the automobile industry zone there receive various benefits. Workers in marketing cooperatives and farmers’ markets receive wages from local units. Their wages are no worse than those of other employees, but they do not receive benefits. There is no harm without comparison.
The supply and marketing cooperatives and farmers’ markets are pretty good, at least they are not located in industrial zones. What really made some people unbalanced was that in order to complete the production chain and avoid having to go outside for procurement, Luo Cheng invited the screw factory and spring factory to open a branch factory.
The screw factory and spring factory are in the industrial area and basically serve other factories. For various needs, just place an order directly. Remember ~~ it is a purchase and money is given. The factory buildings are free for you to use, and you only need to pay the water and electricity bills.
But you have to open your own canteen. Canteens in automobile industrial zones are now built separately outside the factory. You need to have a work permit to eat. As long as there are automobile industrial plants nearby, you only need to pay for food without a ticket.
But your screw factory and spring factory, sorry, it’s not that the automobile industry factory is stingy, but it’s just that they just charge you money without any votes, which is a violation of the rules. There is no need to vote for this, and it can be called an internal special supply to the outside world, but your two factories are nothing like internal.
There are also benefits. Everyone receives wages and benefits on the same day. There is still no harm without comparison.
But there was one thing Luo Cheng was generous about. Employees of the screw factory and the spring factory could take their shuttle buses for free when commuting to and from work.
This has caused great dissatisfaction among the workers at the screw factory and spring factory in the automobile industry area, and the labor unions in their factories are about to start a riot. They are required to be treated equally in the industrial area and they also have to eat free of charge. Like other employees around you, you should receive a lot of benefits every time you are paid.
But this is really a joke. As long as your factory has a trade union, right? Zhou Papi, the trade union in the automobile industry factory, will nag you.
Your screw factory and spring factory are located in the industrial zone. As long as screws and springs can be used, the orders from the automobile industrial zone will be given to you. The price won’t pressure you even a cent. If you make a profit, you will have a retention fund. Your retention money is under the control of your factory director, so the welfare of your factory is your factory director’s business.
In the industrial sector, there are so many factories. You must know that these factories are different. There is no finance in the factory, only the industrial zone finance department. Responsible for all expenses and revenue. Therefore, they don’t have any retained money, and all benefits are distributed uniformly throughout the park.
Therefore, many factory directors in the industrial zone joked, “How good are you, the directors of screw factories and spring factories? At least they have autonomy. If you want any benefits, you can just contact and purchase them yourself. If you are capable, you can use a whole pig every day to improve the food.” . They are different. Even though they are factory directors, they are only responsible for producing and completing orders, and they don’t have to do anything else.
In Ngee Ann, the director of a factory knows a lot of people because he works for welfare. But for a factory director in an industrial zone, he is at home besides the factory, so there is no reason for him to be lazy and go out to talk about things. Because there is nothing you need to talk about, there are people above.
So the people from the screw factory and the spring factory were kicked back. Things produced by their factories are directly used by each other. Things from these two factories are purchased with money, so how can they still get the same treatment? Don’t tell me that the screw factory and the spring factory are backed by such a big backing as the automobile industry zone, and even a little improvement in welfare is not enough.
The directors of the screw factory and the spring factory also felt miserable. In fact, after the branch factory was built here, benefits have been improved. But it cannot be compared with the automobile industry factory. The most important thing is that they are a branch factory, and they cannot do whatever they want with welfare. Maybe if something happens here, there will be a fuss over there in the main factory, and everyone will be treated equally.
Just like employees in schools, hospitals, and even movie theaters and skating rinks affiliated with automobile industry plants, even if they are not in industrial zones, their benefits and benefits are the same. If you go and look at those who want to be teachers this year, they will all stop teaching in junior high schools in order to steal the jobs of elementary school teachers who work in automobile factories.
The salary of a junior high school teacher is more than ten yuan a month higher than that of a primary school teacher, but they don’t want it anymore and would rather be a primary school teacher here. As for the employees’ junior high school under construction in the automobile industry factory, it is the same. Why do you think people who can teach junior high schools come to teach elementary schools? It is because it is said that those who can teach high schools are competing with those who teach junior high schools.
Anyway, it is very busy now, and the road leading from the urban area to the industrial area is just a road leading to the suburbs. But now it feels a bit like a gateway to another city.
