Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Zhao Yukun pretended to scold: "Cao Dahai, why are you everywhere! The introduction of foreign investment into the machine tool factory is a decision made by the Linhai Municipal Government. Does it still need your consent?"

"Isn't it Mayor Zhong who asked us to speak freely?" Cao Dahai said unconvinced, holding his neck.

Zhong Weimin glanced at Zhao Yukun thoughtfully. He also wanted to understand why Zhao Yukun used retired workers to put pressure on the government. This Zhao Yukun still had illusions about Linhai Machine Tool Factory. He did not want to be annexed by the Germans, but wanted to use this opportunity. The merger failed, forcing the government to provide funds for technological transformation...

"Master Cao, in what year did you retire? You look very young! You are also very strong..." Qian Ning suddenly asked in a confused manner.

"I retired last year and I am 51 years old this year..." Cao Dahai replied a little embarrassed.

"Lao Cao left early so that his son could join the factory instead. There are many in the factory like him." Zhao Yukun explained in a low voice.

"Master Cao, how is your health? Can you still work?" Qian Ning continued to ask.

Cao Dahai patted his chest and said carelessly: "I'm not bragging to you. There are only a few fitters at Linhai Machine Tool Factory who are better at their jobs than me, Old Cao!"

"Qi... look at what you, Cao Dahai, can do..." a group of retired workers shouted.

"Masters like Master Cao who retired early and can still work, raise your hand!" Qian Ning said with a smile.

Suddenly, four to fifty people in the auditorium raised their hands. Qian Ning waved his hand to signal them to put it down, and then asked: "Masters who are willing to pass the labor skills assessment and return to work raise their hands again!"

With a "swish" sound, more people raised their hands this time. Almost half of them raised their hands. Qian Ning said with a smile: "Workers and masters, in principle, those who have reached the retirement age will no longer be re-employed in the factory. Those with special skills can engage in guidance work, but they cannot do it themselves!”

After Qian Ning finished speaking, he discussed with Zhong Weimin, Zhao Yukun and others in a low voice for a while. Zhao Yukun stood up and announced: "After the symposium, masters who are interested in participating in the foreign labor skills assessment and returning to work should register at the factory office , Linhai Machine Tool Factory will conduct a skills assessment for all employees in three days, and those who fail the assessment will be temporarily put on the back burner!"

The news that all employees need to undergo vocational skill assessments spread quickly throughout the factory, as if they had wings. With the collusion and deception of interested people, a bigger storm is brewing!

Logistics service and management positions far outnumber front-line production positions, and with the addition of some young workers who are idle and not doing their jobs, one worker basically has to support three employees on average. This is a common problem for every state-owned enterprise in trouble!

In the employee job skills assessment three days later, the workshop production positions with the strictest assessment had the highest pass rate, with only 50 to [-] people failing to pass the assessment.The hardest-hit area is a newly established labor service company. Almost half of the employees have no idea about everything from production to sales. They can't even explain the difference between a lathe and a milling machine...

In accordance with the agreement before the assessment, the factory office posted the list of nearly 150 employees who failed the assessment on the notice board of the factory office building. The entire machine tool factory was suddenly in a panic. These employees who were suddenly "waited for work" suddenly destroyed the factory office building. People were surrounded by people, and they asked Zhao Yukun for an explanation!

Hearing the noise downstairs, Zhao Yukun walked out of the factory building angrily and yelled: "What do you want to do? Is it reasonable to be inferior to others in terms of skills? Gu Bin, you are the one who shouts the most! In the past few years, you have been What did you do that you don’t know about? If it weren’t for your father’s sake, I would have fired you! You still want an explanation? I turned against you! This was a decision made by Mayor Zhong and foreign investors together, what? Do you still want to go to the city government to ask for an explanation?"

Gu Bin, who yelled the loudest, had been in the factory for three years. Being late, leaving early and being absent from work was a common occurrence. Fights were not uncommon. He seemed to be the leader of a group of trouble-making young workers in Linhai Machine Tool Factory...

Gu Bin was a ruthless master, so he couldn't stand Zhao Yukun's aggressive tactics. He held his neck and said, "Just go! Do you think we don't dare?"

After Gu Bin finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the young workers who were making trouble together: "Brothers! Just letting the good ones stand idle is not giving us a way to survive! The machine tool factory was built with the hard work of our fathers. , it’s not Zhao Yukun’s alone. If Zhao Yukun can’t give us an explanation, we’ll go to the city. If the city can’t give us an explanation, we’ll go to the province... I don’t believe there’s no reason for it!”

Looking at these trouble-making off-duty workers, they walked angrily toward the city hall. Zhao Yukun showed an imperceptible smile. It was impossible for the city to accept these thorns. Ten or eight would be fine, and they would be thrown into the street office. The factory was left to fend for itself, but if these nearly 150 idle workers cannot be properly resettled, it will bring huge social problems to Linhai City...

After a while, Zhao Yukun put out the cigarette butt in his hand, picked up the phone and reported to Zhong Weimin.

Zhong Weimin scolded Zhao Yukun on the phone.

After putting down the phone, Zhong Weimin asked someone to intercept the rioting workers on the way, and promised that the city government would send people to the machine tool factory to negotiate with foreign businessmen to resolve their unemployment problem.

Zhong Weimin rushed to Linhai Machine Tool Factory anxiously, only to learn that Qian Ning and two technicians had gone to the East China Sea, leaving only Yuliye alone.

Zhong Weimin had a bad premonition in his heart. The duck that was not fully cooked would really fly away. He knew very well that no matter in terms of enterprise size and technical strength, Linhai Machine Tool Factory and Donghai Machine Tool Factory were very different. What could the government do? In terms of the preferential policies provided, Donghai has incomparable advantages!

Facing the unemployed workers who had been gathering at the door of the factory office building and refused to disperse, Zhong Weimin had to bite the bullet and negotiate with Yuliye.

Juliet spread his hands and said helplessly: "Mayor Zhong, our Xima Machine Tool is here for investment, not a charity. We cannot accept so many idle people with no skills... Oh my God! They are still here Gathering a crowd to make trouble and leaving such a large factor of instability will affect the normal operation of Xima Machine Tools!"

Zhong Weimin explained patiently: "Most of them are apprentices who have just entered the factory. I think as long as you give them a little time and let experienced masters lead them, they can still become qualified workers. As for gathering people to make trouble, that's fine too." You are a young person who cannot accept the arrangement of waiting for work at the moment! It is inevitable that you will be bewitched by some people and make some overreactions."

Juliet frowned, lost in thought.

Zhong Weimin struck while the iron was hot: "Ms. Yuliye, do you think this will work? You can pick out the workers who are leading the trouble and hand them over to the government, and give the other workers another chance?"
