Chapter 262 It is inhumane to work overtime like this!

After the news that the electric furnace factory was going to be recruited came out, strong laborers from several nearby towns flocked.

Being a worker in a factory is definitely more profitable than farming. In rural areas, if someone works in a factory in the town, even if it’s just a small and broken township enterprise, it’s a good thing to talk about it.

Disguised, Noda Chuichiro was among the registration teams, waiting to fill out the registration form.

For this undercover mission, Noda Chuichiro deliberately went on a diet for two weeks to make himself look thinner. In addition, before coming to China, he also went to a tanning hall to tan his skin to make himself more like being outdoors. laborer.

Then Noda Chuichiro bought another set of old clothes to wear on his body, and then grabbed a handful of loess and sprinkled it on his face and body, making himself so disgraced that the whole person looked like it was dug out of the ground just now.

In this way, Noda Chuichiro was mixed in with the registration crowd, but he was not conspicuous.

Queue up, come in ten more! Someone in front shouted.

The queue began to move forward, and Noda Chuichiro was lucky enough to be the tenth person.

Walking into the electric furnace factory, there are three long tables at the door, and pencils are placed on the long tables.

Looking not far away, I saw Li Weidong and Watanabe Xiong, standing there observing the situation here.

After seeing Mr. Watanabe, Noda Chuichiro was determined, and he walked forward with nine other people.

One registration form per person, fill it out first, there is a table next to it, and there are pens on the table! Someone held a stack of registration forms and distributed them to everyone.

Noda Chuichiro took the registration form, sat at the table, picked up a pencil and started writing.

Name, Li Fugui, age, 25 years old, date of birth, February 26, 1965, home address...

Noda Chuichiro filled in the identity information of his cousin Li Fugui. Before that, he had memorized the relevant information of Li Fugui by heart.

Not far away, Li Weidong introduced to Watanabe Yu: From the moment we filled out the application form, our recruitment assessment has already started, and at least those illiterate people can be screened out! In rural areas,

There are not many illiterate people under the age of forty, but there are always people from poor families who are completely uneducated.

Watanabe Yu nodded. He didn't care how many illiterates there were in China's rural areas. He now wanted to know whether Noda Chuichiro could pass the subsequent assessment and enter the factory smoothly.

Noda Chuichiro's education level must be much higher than the surrounding farmers, he quickly filled out the form, and then handed in the form.

The person who collected the form looked at the information above, and when he saw Noda Chuichiro fill in his home address, he frowned and asked, Aren't you from Qinghe?

No. Noda Chuichiro shook his head and said, There are too many people in the family, so I came out to find some work! When I walked to Qinghe, I ran out of money, and I just saw that you were recruiting people, and there are dormitories. , come and try.

This is the rhetoric that Noda Chuichiro has long thought of.

The person who retrieved the form looked at Chuichiro Noda suspiciously, obviously not believing the words of this foreigner.

Migrant workers in 1990 did not have the mobility of later generations. Even those with more avant-garde thinking were willing to go out to work, but not too far from home. Unless they go to some big cities and the wages are relatively high, they will make migrant workers leave their homes.

Qinghe is not a big city, and its economy is relatively backward. Its per capita GDP is lower than the national average, making it unattractive for migrant workers.

Now that a non-local migrant worker appears here, it is hard not to make people suspicious.

Not far away, Watanabe Yu saw this scene and immediately realized that Noda Chuichiro was in trouble.

Watanabe Yu walked over immediately, and then deliberately showed a puzzled expression.

Li Weidong could only follow up and asked, What's going on?

Director, this is not our local.

Li Weidong took the registration form and looked at the home address above.

What's the situation? Why is there a foreigner here? This is the first time! Our salary is not high here, so if you want to work part-time, you should go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou! Li Weidong also felt very puzzled.

Noda Chuichiro hurriedly explained: My family has many people and few land, so I came out to find some work! When I went to this place, I ran out of money I brought. I just saw that your factory is recruiting people and there are dormitories to live in, so I came here. Sign up!

So it is! Li Weidong nodded.

At this time, Yu Watanabe's voice sounded next to him: Mr. Li, what happened, is there something wrong with this person?

He's not a native of Qinghe, so I asked a few more questions to understand his situation. Li Weidong answered truthfully.

Watanabe Yu immediately put on a stern expression, and then said, Mr. Li, aren't you openly recruiting, do you have to divide the region? I think this is an unfair behavior.

Mr. Watanabe, our recruitment of workers is absolutely fair and impartial, and the standards for locals and foreigners are the same. Li Weidong said immediately.

From Li Weidong's point of view, he must be more interested in recruiting local workers. After all, local people know the basics, and management is much more convenient.

However, at this time Watanabe Yu was next to him, and Li Weidong did not want to leave a bad impression on Watanabe Yu, so he could only treat all applicants equally, and let Noda Chuichiro enter the next link.

...

Next is the physical examination.

The physical examination items are very simple. It is to measure the height, weight and vision, check whether you are colorblind, listen to whether the heartbeat is normal, check whether the limbs are healthy, and whether the ten fingers can move freely. Then I took off my shirt to check if there was any major surgery, did push-ups and leapfrogs in place, and tried to see if my legs were flexible.

Basically, as long as you are not disabled, you can pass the physical examination.

Noda Chuichiro is a normal person with healthy limbs, so he easily entered the next link.

Seeing Noda Chuichiro coming out of the medical examination room, Watanabe Yu was also relieved. He took advantage of the situation and said to Li Weidong next to him: Mr. Li, let's go to the next session!

Next is the written test.

At the beginning, Noda Chuichiro was still a little nervous.

But when he saw the test questions, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Please make sentences with the following words.

Come, spring, open, many, all, flowers. Spring is here and many flowers are blooming.

The river water, many, clear, inside, fish, there are. There are many fish in the clear river. It's so easy!

Fill in the corresponding numbers in brackets. 4, 8, 12, (), 20, the brackets must be 16!

54 divided by 9, plus 16 equals how much, the third grade of elementary school can do it!

How many days are there in February in 1988, 1988 is a leap year, and February has 29 days, basic common sense.

Labor Day is a few months, and China's Labor Day should be May 1st!

The question is very simple, and the fifth grade of elementary school can't answer it wrong. Noda Chuichiro quickly completed the test.

At the same time, Li Weidong is also introducing this part to Watanabe Yu.

Considering that our workers are not highly educated, many of them have not even attended middle school, so our test questions are not very difficult, basically only the difficulty of the second and third grades of primary school. The test questions include Chinese, mathematics and Common sense. Li Weidong said with a test paper.

Li Weidong said, and out of the corner of his eyes, he caught the question What month and day is Labor Day.

Who made this question? There are so many festivals, why do you have to mention Labor Day! When the time comes, the workers are clamoring for a holiday, what should I do!

No, this question has to be changed and changed to National Day. No, National Day also has to be a holiday. Let’s change it to Children’s Day. Children’s Day doesn’t have to be a holiday!

...

After a day's recruitment work, Watanabe Yu returned to the reception room.

Li Weidong asked: Mr. Watanabe, how do you think our factory's recruitment work is doing? What areas need to be improved?

Well, very good! Watanabe Yu said perfunctorily.

Very good? This is the end? This answer is so distracting! At that time, you took the initiative to ask for the recruitment, so I also specially recruited a group of workers! Li Weidong complained in his heart.

Watanabe Yu said: Mr. Li, I want to see the results of today's recruitment.

Bring all the newly recruited personnel information. Li Weidong opened the house and ordered.

After a while, a statistics table of the personnel list appeared in the hands of Yu Watanabe.

Watanabe Yu quickly checked the form, and sure enough he found the name Li Fugui.

Watanabe Yu suddenly let out a sigh of relief: Noda-kun has been accepted, my plan has succeeded!

...

Noda Chuichiro finally began his undercover career.

He was taken to an eight-person dormitory. The facilities in the dormitory were a bit rudimentary, with nothing but beds and cabinets.

The washroom is public, and the toilet is also public, which is very bad news for Noda Chuichiro.

But in order to complete the undercover investigation mission, Noda Chuichiro could only follow the local customs and force himself to get used to all this.

Among the eight people in the dormitory, seven were new employees, and the other was an old employee, who was their monitor.

As an old man in the factory, the squad leader naturally became the leader of these eight people.

Tomorrow you will start the training. During the training period, you will be paid as normal for work. The monitor paused, and then said:

Our factory implements militarized management, and there are strict requirements for working hours. Tomorrow is the first day, so you can't be late. The training starts at eight o'clock. Before seven thirty, you will be in the training workshop.

Squad leader, what is militarized management? Someone asked.

Military management is similar to the army. Go to get off work on time, leave work on time, eat on time, sleep on time. In short, you can do whatever you want! Specifically, I will tell you during training. The squad leader explained. .

Squad leader, you just said that during the training period, you will be paid according to normal work, doesn't that mean that we will be able to make money tomorrow? Another person asked.

Just thinking about making money, don't forget that you signed a contract when you came in. If you can't pass the training assessment for a week, just pack up and leave! The squad leader immediately moved.

The third person asked, Monitor, are our wages here high? Can we earn 80 yuan a month?

The squad leader smiled smugly and said, Don't say it's 80 yuan, you can even earn 100 yuan!

So much? The man suddenly looked surprised. If he farmed at home, it would not be easy to earn 100 yuan.

The monitor went on to say: In our factory, the wages are average. If you want to make money, you mainly rely on overtime pay. Overtime pay is 1.5 times your salary. That is to say, if your salary is ten yuan, the overtime pay is fifteen. The more overtime you work, the more you earn! If you work enough overtime, you can earn 145 yuan a month.

One hundred and forty-five dollars? Everyone suddenly showed envious expressions, and some people were already gearing up for a big fight.

The monitor went on to say: But I have to remind you first, although working overtime can make more money, it is also very hard work. After adding a few hours of work a day, when I return to the dormitory, I don't want to move, I lie on the bed. Go to sleep!

Hehe, isn't it just working overtime, can it be compared to doing farm work? someone said.

It's not the same. Although working on the farm is also physically exhausting, it's not the same thing as in the factory at all! The squad leader sighed earnestly: Our factory uses an assembly line. I can’t come down, and I’m not allowed to chat when I’m working. After a day, I really feel more tired than doing farm work!”

Tired of sitting and working? The man obviously didn't believe the monitor's words.

Don't believe it, when you really enter the workshop and add a month of continuous shifts, you will know that you are amazing. The old monitor said.

Beside him, Noda Chuichiro quietly listened to the conversation of several people, but his heart was full of disdain.

Isn't it just overtime? It's a normal thing. There are no Japanese companies that don't work overtime. We Japanese have long been accustomed to overtime! When the time comes, I'll let you know. I'm a 'overtime maniac'. It's not vain!

...

The next day, after all the new employees arrived, Wang Jing personally stepped forward to give lectures.

My management is very strict. Working in our factory, being late and miners are not allowed. If you are late or miners, you will be punished accordingly. There are only two punishments, deduction and dismissal! Next , the new employee training has officially started, I will first introduce the basic situation of our factory.

Noda Chuichiro originally thought that the training would be to practice assembling equipment on the production line, but he did not expect the training to start with a cultural class.

Wang Jing introduced the general situation of the factory to the new employees, what industry is the factory in, what departments are in the factory, what are the main businesses of the factory, and what are the main products.

For employees, of course, it is necessary to understand the basic situation of the enterprise. If a worker does not even know what his factory does, it is definitely unqualified.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Jing introduced the factory management system to the new workers, and then each handed out a piece of paper on which the workers' daily code of conduct was written.

For example, what cannot be done, what can be done but restricted, and what kind of punishment will be imposed if the regulations are violated, the rules and regulations are very clear.

After that, there is an explanation of safety knowledge, such as what problems are encountered, what to do, and what safety regulations workers must abide by in the factory area.

The difference from before is that all safety regulations must be memorized. Only by memorizing all safety regulations can we proceed to the next step of practical learning.

...

A week later, Noda Chuichiro completed all the training and officially went to work.

Early in the morning, Noda Chuichiro had breakfast and looked at the watch on the wall. It was already seven twenty!

Oops, I'm going to be late! Noda Chuichiro got up quickly and ran towards the workshop.

Along the way, Noda Chuichiro met several co-workers, and they all trotted all the way to the workshop.

When you arrive at the workshop, the first thing to do is to change into uniform work clothes in the locker room at the door. There are many lockers in the locker room, and each employee has a locker to store clothes and personal items.

Looking at his locker, Noda Chuichiro felt as if he was back in middle school. In Japanese schools, everyone has a locker.

After changing his clothes, Noda Chuichiro hurriedly entered the workshop.

Li Fugui, hurry up, the director will be here soon! the squad leader shouted at Noda Chuichiro.

Noda Chuichiro ran over immediately. At this time, the line leader of the production line he was on had already arrived. He found that Noda Chuichiro came a little late, and a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on the line leader's face.

The clock on the wall said it was half past seven.

The workshop director came over and started a routine morning meeting, which was actually a lecture.

After the lecture, the workshop director led everyone to shout slogans.

I saw the workshop director raised his right hand and shouted impassively: Time is money, efficiency is life!

The next second, everyone in the workshop shouted in unison: Time is money, efficiency is life!

Safety is the foundation of life, and violation of regulations is the source of accidents! the workshop director shouted again.

Everyone immediately said in unison: Safety is the foundation of life, and violation of regulations is the source of accidents!

Conscientious and meticulous, the pursuit of perfection!

Strive to do it right at the first time, and strive for the greatest benefit!

Cherish the material and pay attention to the quality!

The workshop director led everyone to shout seven or eight slogans, and then handed over the rest of the time to the line leader.

It was about seven forty-five at this time.

The line leader took the workers to their respective production lines, summed up yesterday's work, and then assigned tasks for today's work.

Next, the line leader led everyone to shout slogans.

No matter how busy the production is, don't forget the quality!

According to the chapter, pay attention to safety!

Keep improving, casting quality!

Safety production, quality first!

After the line leader finished shouting the slogan, it was almost eight o'clock, and it was time to go to work!

Sitting on the assembly line, Noda Chuichiro sighed deeply.

Said to go to work at 8:00, but it was already too late when he arrived at 7:30, and for the next half an hour, he was reprimanded and shouted slogans.

Noda Chuichiro starts his day at work.

It goes without saying how boring and tedious the work on the assembly line is, and a new employee like Noda Chuichiro does the easiest job, which is screwing.

Holding the electric screwdriver in his hand, tightening the small screws one by one, this is the work of Noda Chuichiro.

Behind Noda Chuichiro, the line leader of the assembly line was constantly patrolling back and forth. Anyone who dared to be lazy would be caught immediately.

For the whole morning, the assembly line was running non-stop, and Noda Chuichiro was working all the time, and there was no chance for a breather, and even the time to go to the toilet was prescribed.

At twelve noon, the workshop bell rang, the line leader finally stopped the production line, and then everyone went to the canteen for lunch.

There are three dishes for lunch, fried shredded potatoes, stewed tofu with cabbage, and stewed vermicelli with minced meat. The staple food is all you can eat. For the migrant workers at that time, this was already a very hearty lunch.

Watching the co-workers around him feasting, Noda Chuichiro could only force the food into his mouth.

There is only one hour of free time at noon, in addition to eating, and going back and forth to the cafeteria, it is enough to go to the toilet to pee.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the assembly line started again. Noda Chuichiro started the repetitive work again until 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Eat an hour, come back to work overtime at 6 o'clock! The line leader instructed.

For dinner, there are fried shredded potatoes, cold cucumber slices, cabbage and tofu stewed minced pork vermicelli, which is to mix the cabbage stewed tofu with minced pork vermicelli at noon. In addition, there is an extra tomato egg drop soup. There are very few eggs and tomatoes, mainly relying on MSG to improve the flavor.

After eating his dinner wholeheartedly, Noda Chuichiro quickly went to the toilet and then returned to the workshop.

Then, work overtime from six to ten.

It was finally ten o'clock, when the line leader stood up again and said, It's ten o'clock, raise your hand if you don't want to continue to work overtime, I will record the working hours, and then you can go back to the dormitory to rest, if you want to continue working overtime , just stay, let's work until twelve o'clock today!

Noda Chuichiro wanted to raise his hand, but seeing that no one of the workers around raised his hand, and no one left, Noda Chuichiro could only sit there.

Noda Chuichiro's concept is that you can't cause trouble to others. Now that no one else raised their hands to leave, Noda Chuichiro felt that if he left alone, wouldn't he be causing trouble for others.

Isn't it just overtime? I'm a 'overtime maniac'. When I was at Xizhi Electric, my colleagues couldn't keep up with the rhythm of my overtime work! It's just two more hours of overtime, what's the point! Noda Chuichiro comforted himself.

When the line leader saw that no one had left, he shouted, All stand up!

Crash! Everyone stood up.

In the next second, the line leader raised his right hand and shouted loudly, as if he had been beaten with blood, Everyone shout with me, today's efforts will be tomorrow's success!

Today's hard work is tomorrow's success everyone shouted in unison.

Speak louder, go further every day, and embark on the road to success!

Go further every day and step on the road to success! the crowd continued to shout.

Very good, speak louder, don't underestimate yourself, people have infinite possibilities!

Don't underestimate yourself, people have infinite possibilities!

After shouting some slogans, Noda Chuichiro seemed to have forgotten his fatigue, and even became excited.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Noda Chuichiro finally ended his day's work and returned to the dormitory.

...

Just like that, a month has passed.

In fact, this month, Noda Chuichiro only stayed on the assembly line for three weeks, because the first week was used for training.

work overtime! work overtime! work overtime! Working overtime every day!

Noda Chuichiro felt that his life was like a walking dead.

Finally, Noda Chuichiro persisted until the day when he was paid.

In the accounting office, Wang Kaiping handed a wad of money to Noda Chuichiro, and said at the same time, Isn't it Li Fugui, I remember you are a new employee. You new employees worked fewer overtime days last month, so their wages are also less than old employees. Some, but it doesn’t matter, if you work more overtime next month, the salary will be more!”

The former overtime mad Noda Chuichiro looked at the pile of money in his hand. It was not thick, and it was all ten yuan in face value. Visually, it should be less than 100 yuan, and about 1,300 yen.

This is the fruit of a month of hard work by Noda Chuichiro.

I worked so long to make so much money?

Noda Chuichiro's inner defense line was broken in an instant!

The next second, Noda Chuichiro looked at Wang Kaiping with grief and indignation, but he said with a bit of tears:

It's inhumane for you to work overtime like this!
