Chapter 592: Not enough people, practice together

Narawani reluctantly paid Fukang Engineering $70 million for the goods, and then greedily greedy the remaining $50 million in purchases.

Of course, most of the 50 million dollars was given to his cousin, and a small part fell into Nalavani's pocket.

The cousin also needs to take out a sum of money from it and open up the corresponding network of contacts, so that he can use the money with peace of mind.

But once the door of greed is opened, it is very difficult to close. Nalavani has already tasted the sweetness. The first time this kind of thing happens, there will be a second and third time, and he will be more and more greedy in the future.

Li Weidong transferred some of the orders, and those companies that got the orders owed Li Weidong a favor. This favor is not a big deal, but it has to be paid back. If he can help Li Weidong a little favor at a critical time, Li Weidong will be able to make a return.

After the exhibition, Li Weidong did not stay abroad either. He immediately returned to China to arrange production tasks. After all, it is a large order of tens of millions of dollars, and the delivery time is relatively tight, so we still need to speed up the production progress.

In the workshop, the workers are in full swing.

Our workers are very motivated. In recent days, they have been working twelve hours a day! the workshop director said proudly.

The income of workers in the manufacturing industry has always been linked to the working hours, so the workers in the manufacturing industry often do not resist overtime work, because the more overtime work, the more income.

Of course, this law is limited to Chinese workers, and foreign workers are not as hardworking as Chinese workers.

Europe and the United States do not have a culture of working overtime. It may be possible to work overtime occasionally, but it is definitely not acceptable for Chinese workers to work overtime like this.

Overtime is a taboo in Latin American countries, and commuting time is absolutely unstoppable. If you say that you have a rest today, you are resting. No one pays overtime, and it is even more impossible to take a break.

Not to mention Africans, let alone working overtime, it would be nice to find someone in the days just after the salary was paid.

In Asia, local tyrants in the Middle East work four hours a day, even if they work overtime.

South Asians work overtime all relying on rhetoric. They say overtime is good, overtime is wonderful, and overtime earns more money. I will work overtime until the boss goes bankrupt. It really makes them all work overtime.

Overtime in Southeast Asian countries is an accident, and strikes are the norm. If you don’t let them work overtime, they will all find excuses to hold various strikes and ask for better pay. If you let them work overtime, the factory will stop running and make fun of the union every day!

Probably only in East Asia, influenced by Chinese culture, will there be diligent workers who work overtime.

In the low-end intensive manufacturing industry, overtime is purely a pile of output, which is equivalent to making hard money. However, in the mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry, overtime means that orders are in short supply, and companies will gain huge profits.

Moreover, the mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry uses skilled workers, and their overtime pay is much higher than that of labor-intensive industries. For example, the Indian order that Li Weidong brought back this time, after the successful completion, the bonus for the front-line workers is enough to buy two motorcycles.

Therefore, when the order came, Fukang Engineering immediately started the overtime mode. The workers are also very self-conscious and work twelve hours a day without complaint.

After all, everyone is looking forward to completing this order and sending a large bonus.

The workshop director was expressing his work, but Li Shouyi, the deputy director of production next to him, said, Chairman, in fact, our manpower is still insufficient. Even if we work four hours of overtime every day, the time to complete the order is still a little stretched.

Now all the production capacity of the whole factory is concentrated on this batch of orders in India, and other production projects have basically stopped, and can only be done after this order is completed.

Isn't there any new staff recruited by the personnel department? Li Weidong asked.

We have recruited. We recruit every year, but the number is not very large, and the main skilled workers are not easy to find. In addition, the number of this order is too large and it came too suddenly, so that our production capacity cannot keep up in a short period of time. Li Shouyi continued. Reports.

Li Weidong nodded.

Construction machinery companies mainly use skilled workers. Daily work in workshops such as stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly requires certain skills.

In later generations, the degree of industrial automation is high. Even if there is no such technology, after a few months of training in the factory, you will be able to operate the machine and be competent for these positions.

However, in 1999, the degree of industrial automation of Chinese enterprises was not high, so many of the production work in these workshops needed to be done manually, so professional skilled workers were needed to operate.

In China, where vocational education was underdeveloped at that time, it was relatively difficult to recruit professional skilled workers. The talents that technical schools provide to the society every year are very limited, and the biggest source of skilled workers is the laid-off workers of other enterprises.

However, Qinghe is not an industrial city. Even in the era of planned economy, there are not many high-end manufacturing enterprises, and the number of skilled workers in the city is not large. Even after the wave of layoffs appeared, those with skills in their hands quickly found their next home.

In recent years, Fukang Engineering has been recruiting people. Anyone with some technology in their hands will definitely not refuse, and they can also meet normal production.

But this time, so many orders came in, and the manpower in the workshop was not enough.

Although the production needs of this order in India can be met by working overtime, the normal production of other products must be temporarily suspended until the Indian order is completed before it can be resumed.

If the production of other products is suspended, it will affect our normal domestic sales, which is not good! Li Weidong frowned and thought,

After a while, Li Weidong said, Well, I'll find a way to temporarily transfer a group of interns. Some simple and errand work can be handed over to the interns. Find a few experienced masters to watch more. already.

Chairman, many positions in the workshop require some skills to some extent. Ordinary interns don't understand anything. After coming here, not only are they useless, but they are likely to cause safety accidents, which is a disservice. Li Shouyi said.

Don't worry, all the interns I transferred have studied technology. Li Weidong paused, then said, Don't forget that I have a technical school, which also teaches electric welding and lathe operation. .

After a while, I called the technical school and asked them to send a group of students over to help us with some simple tasks. Although they haven't graduated, they are better than people who know nothing. They should be able to do simple jobs, so let them learn through practice!

Chairman Gao Ming, this will not only solve the problem of our lack of personnel, but also get a large number of free labor and save a lot of expenses. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone! Li Shouyi quickly flattered.

Li Weidong opened his mouth and said: Old Li, don't talk nonsense, I'm not Zhou Papi, I let them come for internships, not free work. During the internship period, the internship salary must be paid, and the food and housing must be managed.

Although they came to intern, they used our resources, but such a big company, we can't save money in such a place. If you criticize the interns, you will not save a lot of money, and it will not sound good when it is spread, and it will damage the corporate image.

In addition, I am also thinking about choosing some of these interns who are more excellent, and they will come directly to work in our factory after graduation. Therefore, I have to show the benefits of our factory, so that we can retain people at that time.

Go back and inform the workshops, don't criticize the interns when they come, and don't think they are free laborers. Be nice to others, and teach them a few more words if they can.

In addition, let the workshop directors pay attention to the good seedlings. You can talk to them in advance about the employment after graduation, and strive to keep all the better students in our factory!

...

When it came time to employ people, the role of technical schools was once again revealed.

Although the students of these technical schools have not yet graduated, they have received some professional training after all. When they arrive in the factory, they can do some simple jobs.

Students with good comprehension, learn a little more from the master, maybe they can be competent for some ordinary jobs.

The addition of interns also liberates those formal workers, who do not need to do those simple jobs, which greatly improves the efficiency of production.

It will take more than a dozen years for China's manufacturing industry to start the transition to automation, and before that, factories still need a large number of workers.

The past ten years have also been a period of rapid development of China's manufacturing industry.

In the past ten years, although China has developed the world's first manufacturing industry and has become the world's factory, the problem of lack of skilled workers has always existed.

Senior technicians are always in short supply, and any senior technician is a treasure in the factory.

There is also a huge gap between intermediate and low-level skilled workers. Although these intermediate and junior skilled workers will have longer working hours and greater labor intensity, the wages may not be very high, but the factory still welcomes skilled workers.

Therefore, domestic vocational and technical training has also been popular for more than ten years. Not only are there many people who learn to drive excavators, cook pastries, and learn beauty and hairdressing, such as the use of various machine tools, it is also a popular major in vocational technical schools.

Li Weidong is good at planning ahead. He invested in technical schools that year, and also hopes that in the next ten years, the technical schools can provide technical talents for the companies under his command.

According to Li Weidong's plan, this move will probably not be used until China joins the WTO, but he did not expect a large order from India, but he enabled this piece in advance.

...

Li Tieniu originally planned to join the army, but he signed up but was not selected. So he came to the technical school to learn how to operate machine tools, which can be regarded as a craft of eating.

Among these academies, Li Tieniu is not the smartest. Fortunately, he is an honest person, and he is not lazy when studying. Therefore, after a series of theoretical studies, Li Tieniu finally entered the learning stage of field operation.

However, Li Tieniu only touched the machine tool for a few days when he received a notice that he was going to the factory for an internship.

Li Tieniu was an honest boy, he didn't understand and didn't dare to ask, so he packed up his luggage, got into a big white car inexplicably, and was then taken to the factory of Fukang Engineering.

Then Li Tie Niu was assigned to the workshop and followed a master surnamed Zheng.

Master Zheng was in charge of five interns at the same time. These five people were brought to Master Zheng, stood in a row, and began to roll their names.

Li Tie Niu! Master Zheng called on Li Tie Niu's name.

Here! Li Tie Niu quickly replied.

Master Zheng looked at Li Tieniu and asked, What's wrong with your head? Why are you bald? Is it a leprosy head?

There is no charge for haircuts at school, so I went and ended up being shaved like this. Li Tieniu answered honestly.

You can't shave like this if you don't charge money! Is this using your head to practice your skills? Master Zheng asked with a smile.

Li Tieniu nodded embarrassedly: It's because of the practice that I don't want money.

Master Zheng was stunned for a while, then he wanted to understand the key, and muttered to himself, What an honest boy.

There is a beauty salon major in the technical school, where haircuts are free, and to put it bluntly, it is to practice for those beauty salon students.

If you are lucky, you can shave a relatively normal hairstyle when you meet someone who has learned more solidly.

It was the latter that Li Tieniu met. He just wanted to shave his head, but he was bald.

Master Zheng finished naming and said, Starting today, you will start your internship. If you say it's an internship, you're actually following me as an apprentice!

If it is placed in ancient times, apprentices are not easy to become, they must be formally apprentices, and they must also be given apprenticeships. There is no salary during the apprenticeship, and after leaving the apprenticeship, the salary for the first three years must also be filial to the master.

It's time for you to catch up with me, learn craftsmanship with me, you don't need to send the apprenticeship ceremony, and you can get an internship salary. This is something you never dared to think about in the past!

And if you do a good job, I can recommend it to the factory. After you graduate, you can directly come to work in the factory, which is equivalent to assigning jobs to you!

You know, even college students are not included in the allocation these days. You went to a technical school, but you had the opportunity to assign jobs. You really hit the big luck. So you must study hard, work hard, and strive to stay!

After listening to Master Zheng's introduction, Zhao Tieniu's eyes lit up with excitement.

Others spend money to go to school, and he can still earn money, which is a good thing I have never heard of.

And if you do well, you will still have the opportunity to stay in the factory, which is equivalent to the assignment of work, which should be the salary of 800 workers!

If it was put in more than ten years ago, it would have been very fragrant to be a worker in a factory. At least one could get a city hukou and eat national treasury grain.

Now that after the wave of layoffs, workers are worthless, but for ordinary people with low education levels, it is still a very good way out to be a worker in a factory.

And I heard that the benefits of the Fukang project are not bad, and the treatment of workers is also very good.

Master Zheng said a word of encouragement, and then took five apprentices to the cafeteria to eat.

Then I saw five starving ghosts reincarnated!

Eat slowly, everyone will snatch from you, there are so many meals in the cafeteria! Master Zheng looked at the five people with sympathy, and said, Look, you are starving, don't you get meals in the technical school?

It's not that there is no food, it's that the food here is really delicious! Li Tie Niu said vaguely, holding a chicken leg.

Delicious? I don't think so! It's probably my usual eating habits! Master Zheng said.

Li Tie Niu replied, Master, you don't know that the food we usually eat is either lacking in oil or lacking in salt. Some are unfamiliar, and some are mushy! That steamed bun is sometimes like a stone, with gnawing teeth!

Then the chefs in your school are too irresponsible! Master Zheng turned his face and thought, and then said, No, isn't your school teaching pastry cooking, why isn't there a chef who can cook?

Master, it's because there are so many people cooking pastries in our place that we can't eat good food! Li Tieniu sighed helplessly, and then said: The dishes they practiced and cooked were taken to the cafeteria and distributed to us to eat. !

Master Zheng nodded suddenly: Your school is quite good. It produces and sells itself, and at least it doesn't waste food.
