Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Before leaving get off work every day, Chen Changan would go to check the renovation status of the workshop.

Due to the need for partitions, a lot of wooden boards are needed, and the department has only mobilized a part of them for the time being.

As for this part, Yang Yunfei and his team only completed half of it.

Because three workshops were being renovated at the same time, we were worried that some people would come and have nowhere to live.

Chen Changan was in front, followed by thousands of people, and they all came to Workshop No. 1, which was full of male workers.

Compared with the women's workshop, the conditions here are worse. After all, there are relatively fewer women workers in machinery.

"Director Chen, we haven't even put down our bedding yet, why did you bring us to the workshop?

Didn't we just agree in the cafeteria? We're not going to stop working, but at least we should be able to settle down, right?

Now that I'm settled, can't I go to work in the afternoon?"

Seeing that everyone was unhappy, Chen Changan spoke.

“Everyone misunderstood, this is what happened.

I am not very familiar with other areas, so I will just talk about the Sijiu City in front of us.

Many workers who have worked in large state-owned factories for many years can only live in single dormitories.

Although I am eligible for housing allocation, there are no houses available in the entire city.

Our automobile factory has previously paid for the renovation of many houses.

Because there were so many employees, the houses were already full.

We have built five single dormitories in succession, and they were fully occupied early on after we started recruiting workers some time ago.

With the help of the ministry, the automobile factory established its own community not far away on the other side of the river.

If you don’t understand what community means, you can understand it as a residential building.

The residential area has enough houses to provide for the workers in the factory.

Because the area is too large, too many residential buildings are required.

So, at present, the automobile factory and the ministry have not prepared housing for you."

Seeing that many people looked angry, Chen Changan immediately continued.

However, since the car factory has invited you here, it is impossible for them to ignore you.

So I had people clean up the empty factory and divide it into rooms.

In each room, there are four bunk beds and a table.

Now the weather is getting hotter, so let's just stay here for a while.

After the community is built, basically everyone will be able to get a house.”

Chen Changan explained so much to these workers because he was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable.

Originally, they were notified that there would be a place to stay.

As a result, they were asked to live in the workshop, which would be unpleasant for anyone.

This method of letting the workers live in the workshop is something that only Chen Changan could think of.

After hearing that there was a place to live and considering Chen Changan's promise, the workers reluctantly followed Chen Changan into the workshop.

Looking at the partitions, it is no different from an ordinary room.

The wooden boards are no different from the walls in the room.

Those who are arranged to go far away basically have no background and no special skills.

Or they are people who have offended others and can no longer stay in their original unit.

They are all poor people and no one dislikes the accommodation environment.

On the contrary, they felt that this kind of accommodation environment was similar, at least better than the single dormitory they lived in at their previous unit. At least it was much cleaner.

"This is the condition for now, so everyone should just make do with it.

Once the residential area is built, everyone will be able to get their own housing."

"Director, we are not such hypocritical people. Although this place is a workshop, it sounds like the conditions are not good.

But after seeing it, it's not as bad as I thought.

On the contrary, the conditions are much better than those in our previous unit.”

Seeing that most people agreed, Chen Changan first called Yang Yunfei over and then introduced him.

"This is Deputy Director Yang of our automobile factory.

Later, after all the new workers in your batch are in place, we will produce the products that Deputy Director Yang is in charge of.

At present, the personnel and equipment have not arrived yet, so Deputy Director Yang is leading the workers to renovate the workshop.

After you have finished cleaning up here, you can find Deputy Director Yang to help with the workshop renovation. Or you can help debug the new equipment. "

After finishing his explanation, Chen Changan also returned to his office, followed by Yang Yunfei.

“I called you here to give you a task.

In the near future, workers arranged by the department will arrive one after another.

As the deputy director of a car factory, your focus should no longer be limited to things happening within the workshop.

Not to mention your vision, if you want to reach the national level, you should at least look at the entire factory, right?

You will be responsible for truck production, and these workers will be your subordinates in the future.

Truck production is more complex than pickup truck production and requires more workers and workshops.

You still need to select these new workshop directors one by one.

The candidate for workshop director will not be the most skilled worker, but he will definitely be someone with strong ability to get things done.

You need to understand these people's personalities and levels in advance.

As the deputy factory director, you need to lead the workers to transform the workshop.

Do you understand leadership? It’s not that you work, but the workers around you watch you work.

How much work can you do by yourself? If you can mobilize the workers.

Wouldn't that be much more efficient than if you worked alone?

So as a leader, you need to be able to manage. It is not enough to just do well.

Next, the task of receiving and arranging new workers will be left to you.

You need to arrange the new workers based on their performance during this period and their subsequent work ability.

Both you and Shang Ping are newly promoted deputy factory directors.

But you are different from Shang Ping, he is the department director who went to the workshop. You were originally in the workshop.

He has had several years of experience in management, and you are far behind him in this area.

Now that Hou Mingjun has left, you few are the only deputy factory directors left.

At the moment, there is no one waiting to replace me, otherwise I would have given up on being the factory manager a long time ago.

If you want to achieve something, you must learn how to manage. If you want to be a good factory manager.

It’s not enough to just know the technology. Shi Heping’s technology is pretty good, right?

Why couldn’t the quality problems in the factory be solved during the time I was not there?

That’s all I have to say. Think about it after you go back.”

Looking at Yang Yunfei's leaving back, Chen Changan suddenly sighed.

There are quite a few people working in the automobile factory, probably tens of thousands of people.

But it is not easy to find a few helpers among tens of thousands of people.

Chen Changan naturally has a sense of rejection towards people sent by his superiors.

So I thought about training a few helpers. But at present, everyone has their own shortcomings.

Maybe it's because of age and rigid thinking. Or it could be because of education, too little knowledge and insufficient brain flexibility.

It seems that after the community plan, the automobile factory still needs to build its own school.

It is not only about training technical workers, but also about training some reserve cadres.
