Back to the golden age

"Master, please take a look at the production plan for next month."

In the factory manager's office, Song Yuanchao handed over a freshly prepared production plan to the factory manager Ma. Seeing that there was not much water in his cup, he took the cup and walked aside to pick up the water bottle to refill and put it in place.

"You sit down first." For his apprentice, the factory director Ma was more casual, picked up the cigarette on the table and threw a stick to Song Yuanchao, and then carefully looked at the production plan Song Yuanchao sent over while smoking a cigarette.

Song Yuanchao's production plan is very standardized, including raw material delivery, production arrangements, staffing and other links, and the time nodes are also arranged in an orderly manner.Factory Manager Ma watched and nodded slightly, feeling very happy in his heart, and even more satisfied with his apprentice.

After reading it, I picked up my pen and signed under the production plan.

"Yanchao, you have been taking over as the workshop director for a week, right?" Factory Manager Ma asked Yan Yuese as he handed the things to Song Yuanchao.

"Master, you have a good memory. Today is exactly one week." Song Yuanchao nodded.

"Your master, I'm still in my seventies and eighties, so I can remember how long it's been." The factory manager Ma laughed and cursed, and then asked: "How does it feel to work in the workshop? Are there any work problems that I can help solve?"

"The comrades in the workshop are very good. They are very cooperative and supportive of my work. I haven't encountered any problems yet, but..." Song Yuanchao hesitated to speak when he said this.

"But what?" Director Ma asked.

"Master, don't you think our factory's production tasks will drop a bit next month?" Song Yuanchao asked, pointing to the production plan that had just been signed.

"Hahaha, you're not used to this job now that it's less and easier?" Factory Manager Ma was immediately amused when he heard it, and pointed at Song Yuanchao with his finger: "You are really busy, you can't take time off!"

"Master, look at what you said." Song Yuanchao shook his head with a smile, then pointed to the production plan in his hand and said, "Aren't I worried? Look, the production task for next month has dropped by 30% compared to this month. But it’s not small. We are a school-run factory, not a large state-owned factory. This production task will be reduced, and the time for Li to work in the workshop will be shortened. It will not affect you and me, but it will be different for others. At that time, the comrades below In case I ask about this, I will ask you here first."

What Song Yuanchao said is correct. Factory Manager Ma, Song Yuanchao, and the cashier are all school workers, and their salaries are fixed. Except for the three of them, the rest of the school-run factories are collective and temporary workers.

The collective establishment is better, but the wages of those temporary workers are paid according to the working days and production tasks. If it is not saturated and the workload is compressed, it will directly lead to a reduction in their income.

In this regard, the director of the horse factory has nothing to worry about.

"This is a normal situation, Aid Korea, you will understand when you have been in the factory for a long time in the future." Ma said with a smile: "The work in our factory is fixed, and each factory distributes labor protection supplies. There is also a time period, so it can’t be distributed all year round, right? Besides, there is still a period of time before next month, and there may be additional tasks at that time, so the production tasks will sometimes be higher, and some will be lower. The production plan is just a reference , can not be used as a frame, everything must proceed from reality."

Song Yuanchao nodded, showing a suddenly realized expression.

After chatting with Director Ma for a few more words in the office, Song Yuanchao left first. After leaving the factory director's office, Song Yuanchao frowned slightly, although Director Ma explained the question he just raised and told him that this is very common. However, Song Yuanchao didn't think so in his heart.

Song Yuanchao knew clearly that this school-run factory did not last in its original history, and the key reason was that it declined within a short period of time after experiencing initial prosperity.

In 1978, the school-run factory resumed production. After the Spring Festival in 1981, the school-run factory could no longer receive orders in just over a year. After a few months of hard support, it completely became history in the summer of 1981.

Song Yuanchao only knew about this incident back then, but he didn't know how the school-run factory turned from prosperity to decline.

Today, as the workshop director, he found a problem when he arranged the production plan for next month for the first time, that is, the production task for next month has a downward trend.

Although Director Ma gave a plausible explanation, Song Yuanchao didn't think so.

The school-run factory mainly produces labor insurance products, most of which are exclusively for some large factories. Calculated according to the distribution time of these large factories' labor insurance products, it is usually once in the middle of each year and at the end of the year, and those daily consumables, For example, gloves, shoes, etc., in addition to being distributed at a fixed time, are also distributed according to consumption needs on weekdays.

Therefore, from these aspects, the orders for labor insurance products are relatively stable after all, and in the one or two months before the two time periods of the year, the order amount will increase relatively, in order to prepare for the fixed distribution.

Calculated in terms of time, the mid-year period for the regular distribution of labor insurance supplies is coming soon. It stands to reason that the production tasks should show an upward trend, or at least remain stable, but at this time, the production tasks for next month have instead shown a downward trend. This cannot be Don't be alarmed.

Song Yuanchao was very sensitive to this situation, so he used this method to remind the dismounted factory director, but the horse factory director didn't take it seriously.

Although the factory director Ma is Song Yuanchao's master, Song Yuanchao can't say something without any evidence. Could it be that he told the factory director Ma that the days of running the factory in the school will not be long, and if this continues, life will be less and less day by day, until Can't close the door in the end?

Shaking his head, Song Yuanchao could only smile wryly.

Generally speaking, the school-run factory is quite popular at present. It is too inappropriate for him to say that there will be problems in the future, even if he is the apprentice of the factory manager Ma.

Having been in contact with Factory Manager Ma for a long time, Song Yuanchao has already figured out his temper. Factory Manager Ma is a very direct and strong elder with a straightforward and cannon temper. In other words, he is a "stubborn old man". Such an elder They often have preconceived notions, and it is not easy to listen to other people's words. Once it makes him angry, even if it is the king of heaven, he will dare to fight with you. For such a person, Song Yuanchao knows very well that he must follow him and never insist on it. It's not about doing behaviors that seem to be smart, or it will be counterproductive.

Song Yuanchao came to work here for his own purpose at first, but after working here for a long time, he got to know the factory director Ma and the colleagues in the factory, so he naturally developed some affection for the factory and the colleagues.

Thinking that this factory will close down in the future, these smiling colleagues who are full of happiness and hope for life will lose their jobs and income, and their hopes will be shattered. The pressure of their families will make them breathless. Song Yuanchao couldn't bear to travel abroad to support his family.

Song Yuanchao didn't know when this idea started, maybe not long after he came to the factory, or when he was officially appointed as the workshop director.

Now Song Yuanchao's thoughts have quietly changed. He is not a saint. He has experienced the ups and downs of his previous life.
