Chapter 2

After the meeting, the skinny monkey said to Wu, "You were right.
You contradicted him.
Not only did he not criticize you, but he also praised you.
Did he become your master and give you special face?" Wuzheng said, "Being a master is just a formality.
He has worshiped so many masters.
If all of them are given face, how can he work?""I think he's a director who knows how to think and work.
I'm sure he'll be able to change the back of the workshop."One day, the staff of the workshop took back an email from the reading room.
Tian Zili glanced at it - it was a letter from the provincial university to Wuzheng.
Tian Zili inwardly praised - What an outstanding young worker.
He turned to the staff and said, "Let me send this email to Wuzheng."After lunch, Tian Zili hurried into the canteen and bought two sets of food for Wuzheng.
Wuzheng had arrived late, which was a habit of his.
"Master Xiaowu, I've already bought you a good meal." Tian Zili called out to Wuzheng.
"Chief Tian is treating me to a meal!
Sigh, I'm truly honored."Chief, did your wife go on a business trip?
Why isn't she home for dinner?" Tian Zili said, "No, my wife and children are all at home.
I'm just here to have a meal with you today, aren't you welcome?""I don't know how well this meal is!
It's to educate me in thought.""I'm here to ask Master for guidance." Tian Zili handed Wuzheng a lecture and asked, "What specialization did you learn?" "Mechanical manufacturing.""Good job.
Xiaowu, you're so good at learning.
We don't have a lot of talented young workers in our workshop.
The country needs professional knowledge and practical experience!" Tian Zili added, "Xiaowu, I really hope that you can play a role model among the workers in the workshop.""I wanted to ask everyone to learn from you in the workshop.""I absolutely can't!" Wuzheng said eagerly, "I'm in the workshop with a bad image of being unconvinced.
It's already a blessing that I won't be criticized.
How could I possibly have a charisma?
Besides, I'm asking everyone to learn some skills, so I don't think there'll be anyone to listen to, much less study.""Why?" Tian Zili asked."The production of workshops isn't complete well.
It's not all because of the poor skill of the workers that they can't make a living.
In fact, there are still quite a few excellent young workers in our workshops.
For example, 'Little Monkey', 'Oh', it's Yu Mingqi.
Not only is he skilled, but he also works as he complains."For the past four to five years, he had never been late or retired for no good reason.
If you knew Yu Mingqi's situation, you would have been moved by the fact that Yu Mingqi had been able to return without any delay for so many years.
As for the completion of his production task, the quality of his products was the best in the workshops.He was the most honest person in the workshop.
It was precisely because he appeared to be depressed and exhausted all day long that he didn't want to talk to his superiors.
Secretary Wang and the old chief of faculty disliked him.
Yu Mingqi's story.
If you're interested in it, I'll tell you about it later.In the old chief's eyes, workers had to rely on their leaders to manage them.
Only through strict management would they be willing to work properly.
Secretary Wang only knew how to put on a hat for others, and sometimes he even said that workers were like rogues from the old society."However, they are unwilling to patiently look for a factory worker.
The motivation for their labor is not high.""Then tell me the reason.
Alright!"Tian Zili said, "I think there are many reasons.
But at present, what everyone is most dissatisfied with is the evaluation rule for bonuses.
Although the monthly bonus is only a few yuan, everyone has calculated those few yuan into their own living expenses.
Especially the chefs who have their own homes.
They value the bonus very much."So people pay attention to it.
It's the same as doing more or less now.
Those who do more are worse than those who work less and have worse product quality.
The evaluation of bonuses is all up to the leaders.
Would they have the motivation to produce?
You might say that workers have high class awareness and work is free of pay.However, it wasn't at the point where work and rewards weren't included, was it?
Otherwise, what was the point of giving out bonuses?
Since there were bonuses and distributions that weren't reasonable, everyone had their opinions, but they couldn't express it.
How could they be able to display their competitiveness in production?!?After listening to Wuzheng's words, Tian Zili pondered for a moment before saying, "How can we make a reasonable distribution?
Tell me about your suggestion.""...""I don't dare to suggest anything.
Perhaps the Secretary of Hell is going to say something wrong about me." Tian Zili smiled, "The old chief of faculty and the Secretary of Hell might have done something wrong, but they're also worried about the background of the carriage!
I've been in a hurry for a while now, so I can't help but say something wrong.
I hope everyone can understand.Then let's not talk about your suggestion or your thoughts.Wuzheng smiled and said, "Isn't the distribution principle of socialism a bit too much?
I've heard that during the year 56, there was a period of 'timer salary calculation', as many products and wages as the workers do."Later on, she heard that there were a lot of imperfections that stopped.In that case, would it be possible to use the Dorat Dodo method on the distribution of bonuses?
-- However, there might be two kinds of consequences for doing so: the first was to pull one's hair and move the entire body, and when it was done, it could lead all aspects of the workshop to progress.The workshop's appearance may change a lot."Secondly, if something goes wrong, the workshops will be in chaos and contradictions, which will seriously affect the work.
The greater risk is that they may be labeled as 'money stimulation'."Tian Zili nodded, "That's a good idea.
Some companies are also discussing how to mobilize their workers' production potential.
Some of them have suggested this idea, but none of them have tried it out.
I have to think about it carefully, and I have to ask the other leaders for their opinions."This isn't something that I can decide by myself." Tian Zili continued, "You're a capable and capable person.
I hope you can come up with some ideas for the workshop.
I've benefited greatly from our conversation today."Thank you!" Tian Zili said excitedly, holding Wuzheng's hand.
Wuzheng looked at Tian Zili's sincere and serious expression, and his heart was filled with unease.
He swore to himself that he would change his bad temper and work hard.Over the past few days, Tian Zili had been watching the workshop produce in a calm manner, especially when he saw the indifferent expressions on the workers' faces after receiving the monthly bonus.
He was extremely anxious.
He murmured angrily to himself, "It's better not to reward such an insignificant reward." He recalled Wuzheng's words, and felt an urge to give it a try.He knew that following Wuzheng's suggestion would bring him certain risks.
But he couldn't find a better way to deal with the situation in the workshop right now.
He decided to give it a try, with the determination to lose his official position.After a few days of careful deliberation, Tian Zili found Wang Zhiqiang, the team leader of the technical team, Li Xunda, Liu Yubin, and the production team leaders, and asked for their opinions.
Most of them agreed to calculate bonuses based on working hours, especially Liu Yubin.Xu Yangyi's brain had been damaged according to the monthly production plan, and he had exhausted himself.
He hadn't been able to complete the mission.
He had long since seen that the current bonus system not only didn't help promote the production process, but also hindered the smooth progress of production.He said, "This evaluation method is even worse than not giving out a bonus." Some people were eager to propose a time-calming method.
Everyone's opinions were firm on Tian Zili's determination and confidence in changing the current bonus system.As soon as Qin Ye brought up the idea of 'overtime timed calculations' to Wang Fentian, Wang Fentian shook his head and said firmly, "What are you trying to do?
What are you trying to do?
Why aren't you facing the central government?
You can't possibly do anything about it right now.
The newspapers are currently criticizing money-bound marshals and physical stimulations.
How can we possibly go against them?!
Hmph!
This can't possibly be Wuzheng's idea, can it?
You have to be more vigilant of him.""...""No, no!
What does this have to do with Wuzheng?
I've proposed my own thoughts based on the situation in the workshops.
I've sought out some of the workers in the workshops for their opinions, and most of them think that it's necessary to change the current system of rewards." Wang Fentian explained, "The staff have some miscalculations, and we'll have to lead them on the right track.
We can't allow them to be influenced by them.""Wang Fentian's lecture made Tian Zili feel somewhat displeased.
He said excitedly, "The workshops have been in a state of decline for a long time.
Both you and I have responsibilities that cannot be avoided."We couldn't be doing nothing all day, just watching the production progress in the workshops.
We had to find out why we were behind and try to change."...""There are many reasons why the workshops fall behind, and there's no way we can use money to deal with them.
I don't agree with your opinion." The two of them agreed with each other, and then left in displeasure.
Later on, Tian Zili asked Wang Fentian several more times to modify the bonuses.
Wang Fentian's attitude didn't change in the slightest.
At this moment, the so-called "egg incident" made Wang Fentian extremely embarrassed, and Tian Zili took advantage of this opportunity to implement a reform of the bonuses system.Lilan's wife was short, fat, and rough.
Her voice was loud and hoarse.
She was famous for being a ruthless person in the dormitory.
If anyone offended her, she would carry the legs of her pants with both hands.
She would jump up and scold her for a day without feeling tired.
The 18 families next door had no choice but to listen respectfully.Who wasn't afraid of her in the dormitory!
Everyone knew that Li Lan was afraid of her.Everyone called her the 'mother-insect' in the dormitory.
On this day, the mother-insect chatted with a sister-in-law named 'Qianyan' at the entrance of the house.
Qianyan said, "The chickens that my family raised last year were all eggs now."There were a few of them a day, and they were very loving.
Our family couldn't finish eating, and it was easy to break after a long period of time.
I was embarrassed to sell them to acquaintances, and I was afraid that others would say that we were involved in capitalism.
These days, I took the eggs to the countryside market and sold them.
Although it was a little far away, no one knew.In this way, we can earn five or six yuan in a month's time.
Old Ji and Xiao Bao have cigarettes and tuition money.
You and I bought chickens together, it's time for you to lay eggs, isn't it?
If you sell the excess eggs with me, it can also be used on the house."I don't have many eggs!
My son loves to eat eggs.
Two or three eggs a day.
Besides, Laoli still needs to give some eggs to his secretary for three days and two days."How could there be so many eggs to sell!?Qian Yi asked in amazement, "The clerk is looking for you guys to buy eggs!
How much is he worth to sell one?""So I told him about raising chickens for Secretary Wang.It turned out that during the spring season this year, Wang Fentian saw someone selling chicks.
He saw that the fluffy chickens were quite cute.
Because he lived far away in the north of the river, when he got off work, he was lonely alone in his dormitory, so he bought a few chicks for fun.
One day, Li Lan went to talk to Secretary Wang.
Coincidentally, he saw the clerk panting as he drove the chicks all over the ground.Lilan hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The chickens screeched and ran about.
Wang Fentian was already in his fifties.
He was tall and fat, and it was difficult for him to bend over.
Lilan was clumsy and slow to react.The chicks barked as they slipped away from between Li Lan's hands and passed through Wang Fentian's crotch.
The two of them had bumped into each other, but still couldn't catch the chicks.
It wasn't until the chicks themselves were tired of running and lying on the ground that they caught them and carried them into the cardboard box.Lilan said to Secretary Wang, "Secretary, don't waste your time.
My family has raised more than a dozen chickens.
Why don't I take them and ask my wife to take care of them for you?" Weizi wanted to raise a few chickens for fun, but he didn't expect that they would be so troublesome, so he decided to let Lilan take them.When Lilan finished speaking, the duke said to Wang Fentian, "When the chicken grows up, you'll have an egg to nourish your body." Wang Fentian laughed heartily.
