Chapter 636 Hit him with welfare

In the planned economy era, there was no problem of job stability and instability. At that time, there were only jobs and no jobs. Those who had jobs were those who had workers.

After the reform and opening up, there were gradually self-employed and private enterprises, and with the reform of state-owned enterprises, the so-called worker establishment also disappeared in the long history.

The older generation of workers have experienced the era of planned economy, they once enjoyed stable jobs, and they are particularly fond of the word stable.

Especially after the wave of layoffs in the late 1990s, many workers lost their jobs. At this time, a stable job without worrying about being laid off has become an ideal goal for many people.

Even now, civil servants, doctors, teachers, etc., are still the best occupations in the eyes of the mother-in-law, and the next-level ones, such as banks, state-owned enterprises, etc., will be able to make do in the near future.

The biggest advantage of these occupations is stability.

The workers of the New Oriental Motor Factory opposed Li Weidong's acquisition, mainly because they did not want to lose this stability.

Especially a slightly older worker like Master Wang, who has passed the age of hard work and struggle. He has worked for more than 30 years. Although he is not very rich, he has some savings.

Giving him a salary increase of 180 yuan every month is not very attractive to him. For those tens of yuan more, it is better to give him a job that can succumb to retirement without worrying about being laid off in the middle. work.

So Li Weidong simply came up with the trick of unfixed-term labor contract.

The Labor Law promulgated by China in 1994 protects the legitimate rights and interests of laborers in many details, such as recruitment age, working hours, public holidays, holidays, paid vacations, and so on.

One of them is that to establish a labor relationship between an employer and a worker, a labor contract must be signed in accordance with laws and regulations.

However, the regulations at the time clearly stipulated that the contract must have a clear time limit. The purpose of this is to ensure the interests of workers and prevent workers from being tied to an enterprise for a lifetime and becoming the long-term worker of the enterprise.

After all, at that time, many people still felt that private entrepreneurs were like capitalists or old landlords in the old society, and would exploit workers as much as possible. In order to prevent private entrepreneurs from restricting the freedom of workers to come and go with a paper contract, a fixed period must be added to the contract.

However, with the discovery of the economy, the situation of signing contracts every three to five years has harmed the interests of workers.

Workers will worry that when the contract period expires, if the company does not sign a contract for them, then they will be unemployed!

Especially some older workers,

It's hard to find another job if you're unemployed.

Therefore, in 2007, when the country revised the labor law, there was an indefinite labor contract. Prevent workers from being unemployed when they get older.

According to the provisions of the law, if the laborer has worked continuously for more than ten years in the same employer, and both parties agree to renew the labor contract, if the laborer proposes to conclude a labor contract with no fixed term, it shall conclude a labor contract with no fixed term.

Of course, even if a labor contract with no fixed term is signed, those who should be laid off will also be laid off. In later Internet companies, there are only a few who are over the age of 40 who are not laid off.

But layoffs and non-renewal of contracts when they expire are two completely different situations.

Layoffs require compensation to workers in accordance with the law. Some big Internet companies have laid off employees, and the compensation given is enough to live in a small city for a lifetime.

If the contract does not renew when it expires, it is to leave directly without getting a penny of compensation.

Therefore, although this kind of non-fixed-term contract cannot guarantee that workers can be as stable as civil servants, it can indeed protect the rights and interests of workers to a certain extent.

It is still in 2001, and the labor law has not yet specified an open-ended contract, but in order to solve the problem of workers in the New Oriental Factory, Li Weidong simply came up with the trick of an open-ended labor contract.

Moreover, Li Weidong also changed the concept very stealthily, associating no fixed period with being able to work for a lifetime.

How does Master Wang know this? Hearing that the contract has no time limit, that means he can work until he retires without worrying about his career in the middle.

In Master Wang's subconscious, the same stability as a state-owned enterprise can be considered.

However, in terms of face, private enterprises are not as good as state-owned enterprises.

State-owned enterprises are not within the system, and the workers of state-owned enterprises do not have the status of civil servants or career establishments, but the status of state-owned enterprise workers is also a matter of face.

When working in a private enterprise, the common perception is that you work with your own boss, and you don’t have the face to talk about it, and it doesn’t sound that promising.

I saw Master Wang sighed, his attitude softened a lot, and then said: With this open-ended contract, it is stable enough, but we are no longer state-owned enterprise workers. If relatives and friends ask about it, where are you? Where to work, I'm embarrassed to answer!

...

The phrase get rich by work has been shouted for a few years, but in the subconscious of many people, as long as you don't eat public food, it's not a serious job, and it's shameful to say it out.

When asked where you work, if the answer is that you are in a so-and-so bureau, you must have a face. If you say that you are in a so-and-so factory, you will have to go down a step. If the so-and-so factory is still a private enterprise, you will be embarrassed to speak. !

At that time, the contempt chain of migrant workers was that foreign-funded enterprises were better than state-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises were better than private enterprises, and private enterprises were better than working with self-employed individuals.

In order to attract foreign investment, foreign-funded enterprises enjoy some super-national treatment. The common people generally think that the moon in foreign countries should be rounder. No matter what, as long as it can touch a little foreign style, it is good.

Being able to work in a foreign-funded enterprise means that you can feel foreign every day, and naturally you have to look taller. In some developed coastal cities, if you work in a foreign-funded enterprise, you are more popular than civil servants.

Moreover, at that time, the scale of China's own enterprises had not yet developed, the management and system were not in line with international standards, and the salary was not high. Compared with foreign investment, it does give more money, good benefits and advantages in terms of treatment.

At that time, when you were admitted to university, majors related to foreign trade were the best choice, because you could go to work in foreign-funded enterprises by studying this major.

At that time, many graduates of 985 University would break their heads for the position of foreign trade salesman in a foreign-funded enterprise. In the eyes of ordinary people, the foreign trade salesman of this foreign-funded enterprise is a golden collar!

In the present, it is simply unthinkable! I am a top student who graduated in 985, going to be a foreign trade salesman? Funny too!

A level lower than a foreign-funded enterprise is naturally a state-owned enterprise. Everyone understands this aspect, so there is no need to explain it.

The next lower level is the private enterprise. Those that can be called private enterprises are those that already have a certain scale.

Although private enterprises are not as good as state-owned enterprises in terms of stability, such large-scale private enterprises still follow the rules in management. At least they formally sign contracts with trade unions, and they will not deliberately make excuses to deduct wages, holidays and rest days. Also guaranteed.

Ordinary workshop-style factories are not considered private enterprises in the eyes of ordinary people, and they can only be regarded as larger self-employed, similar to roadside restaurants.

This category is the bottom of the working class contempt chain.

Small businesses or self-employed people often do not follow the rules in management. They do not sign contracts, do not pay social insurance and medical insurance, deduct wages at will, forcibly work overtime, work as usual on statutory holidays and rest days, do not pay overtime pay, and deduct money when they ask for leave, etc. etc., is a common phenomenon.

Going to a small business or working with a self-employed person, there are too many unknown factors. Whether or not you can meet a conscientious boss depends entirely on personal luck.

And most workers just simply hope to get rewards through their labor, not to gamble on luck. Therefore, this kind of work full of unknown factors is naturally unpopular.

It is precisely because of the existence of this chain of contempt that Master Wang proposed that working in a private enterprise has no face, which is indeed a very realistic problem.

And this problem not only existed then, but will still exist in the future.

Li Weidong is incapable of solving this kind of problem, but he has the ability to solve the person who raised the problem, that is, Master Wang in front of him.

So Li Weidong said: Master Wang, although I am not a state-owned enterprise, the treatment I give to workers is better than that of foreign-funded enterprises!

You are a private enterprise, can the treatment be better than that of a foreign-funded enterprise? Master Wang looked incredulous. After all, at that time, the best domestic treatment was the foreign-funded enterprises.

Li Weidong went on to say: I plan to implement an enterprise annuity system for the employees of the New Oriental Factory.

What is the enterprise annuity system? Master Wang asked immediately.

Enterprise annuity is a kind of old-age insurance system. Li Weidong went on to explain: I will give you an example, like Mr. Wang, you are now getting your salary from the New Oriental factory, and after you retire, you will get your pension from the state's social security fund. .

This enterprise annuity is equivalent to the social security fund established by the enterprise for its employees. After you retire, not only can you lead a pension from the state, but the factory will also give you an additional pension, which is equivalent to receiving two pension!

Two pensions? Really or not? Is there such a good thing? Master Wang had an expression of disbelief.

Of course it's true. Li Weidong continued; Developed countries have already implemented this system. For example, in the United States, many companies have this enterprise annuity. And Japan, whether large or small, has Enterprise pension system.

However, these are all benefits given to them by foreigners. After foreign companies came to China, they did not implement the enterprise annuity system for Chinese employees. Now I plan to implement this system in the New Oriental factory. Isn't this a better treatment than foreign-funded enterprises!

In the latter part of the explanation, Master Wang generally did not listen to it. He is now full of two pensions.

For a person who is about to retire in ten years, how much pension he can get after retirement is obviously his most concerned issue.

There are really two pensions? Master Wang confirmed again.

Of course, I still say that, when we sign the contract in black and white, you can't trust me, can you still trust the contract? Li Weidong replied.

Master Wang nodded dazedly. At this time, his mind was full of chaos, and he no longer knew how to choose.

As a worker in a state-owned enterprise, it's a lot of fun to talk about it, but two pensions are really tempting!

Especially this kind of old workers who will retire after a few more years, how can the face of the pension be important!

Li Weidong went on to say: Master Wang, I think we'll talk about it today. This non-fixed-term labor contract, as well as the enterprise annuity, what are the specific contents and how to implement it, I will write a written plan, and then report it to me. Tell all employees of New Oriental Factory!

...

Enterprise annuities, even after 20 years, are a rarity for Chinese people. Only a few companies with good welfare will have an enterprise annuity.

However, in developed countries in Europe and America, the enterprise annuity system has been implemented for decades.

Enterprise annuity is similar to social security, in which the individual contributes part of the money, and the enterprise contributes part of the money to form a fund. When employees retire, they will receive money from this fund, either in installments like social security pensions, or in one lump sum like provident funds.

This fund can also be invested in the same way as the social security fund, except that it usually invests in some capital-guaranteed wealth management products.

China's Enterprise Annuity Management Measures was officially implemented on February 1, 2018. Now Li Weidong took out this weapon in advance in order to solve the problem of workers in the New Oriental Factory.

Although the policy at the time did not contain regulations related to enterprise annuities, it was obviously a good thing to provide workers with more retirement security. Private entrepreneurs take the initiative to provide benefits to workers, and there is no reason to stop them in terms of policy.

In addition, the enterprise annuity is based on the proportion of salary, and the individual and the enterprise each contribute a sum of money.

In 2001, the salary level of Chinese workers was generally not high. If the enterprise annuity was paid in proportion to the salary, the pressure on the enterprise was not too great.

Twenty years later, the Chinese people's salaries have risen, the proportion of labor costs has increased sharply, and the enterprise annuity is also a large expenditure.

...

As a boss, it is a necessary condition for workers to give their lives willingly and willingly to give money.

But there are many ways to give money. The same amount of money, sometimes spent in welfare, is more likely to buy people's hearts.

In the face of these workers in the New Oriental Motor Factory, Li Weidong chose not to throw money directly, but to exchange the money for welfare, and then throw the welfare at him!

The labor contract without a fixed term only appeared when the Labor Contract Law was revised six years later. Since it is a law implemented by the state after sufficient research and demonstration, it also means that the labor contract without a fixed term is very important. Meet the needs of the majority of workers.

Li Weidong took this measure out in advance, and 80 to 90% of the workers' resistance instantly disappeared.

What's more, there is also an enterprise annuity, which is an employee benefit that is still unachievable after 20 years! In 2001, it was really more favorable treatment than foreign-funded enterprises.

Who doesn't want an extra pension? The original resistance that still remained 10% or 20%, with the blessing of the enterprise annuity, also disappeared without a trace.

Shares and dividends have successfully made the management of the New Oriental Factory allegiance, while the non-fixed-term contract and the enterprise annuity have also eliminated the emotions of the workers, and there is no obstacle to the acquisition of the New Oriental Electric Factory.

Even if there are still a few people who are still dissatisfied, it is harmless, and there are scattered voices of opposition, which is not a climate.

...

Li Weidong finally successfully acquired the New Oriental Motor Factory, and then the New Oriental Motor Factory was renamed Fukang Motor Company.

In the conference room of Fukang Motor, Pan Yongjian is reporting to Li Weidong:

In the earliest days of our motor factory, it was the motor production workshop of Huanghai Petrochemical. Because Huanghai Petrochemical's business needs some motor equipment, it has specially set up a motor workshop.

Later, enterprises became popular to engage in tertiary production, and the motor workshop was also independent from Huanghai Petrochemical and became the tertiary production of Huanghai Petrochemical. In addition to providing motors to Huanghai Petrochemical, it also provided motors to other companies.

At that time, the domestic supply of materials was still in short supply. Our motor factory was backed by Huanghai Petrochemical, and we could obtain more resources. The supply of products was in short supply, so we also achieved relatively rapid development.

Later, when the state checked the tertiary industry of the enterprise, our motor factory became an independent enterprise completely, and it was regarded as a subordinate of Huanghai Petrochemical. In the mid-1990s, the shareholding system reformed, Huanghai Petrochemical became a state-owned holding group, and we became a wholly-owned enterprise of Huanghai Petrochemical.

In the past ten years, Huanghai Petrochemical has developed very rapidly. Several new petrochemical projects have been launched. The demand for motors has also increased, and the quality requirements for motors are also getting higher and higher.

Our motor factory has also developed several new products by taking advantage of this shareholder wind. At present, we are still incapable of high-end motors, but we provide all the mid-to-low-end motors required by Huanghai Petrochemical.

In addition to Huanghai Petrochemical, we also have many customers, mainly concentrated in several cities around the province, and customers from other provinces are still supplying scattered products, which have not formed a scale for the time being.

Pan Yongjian reported the situation of the motor factory in detail. After Li Weidong wrote down a few key points, he asked, Director Pan, what we currently produce are traditional brushed motors, right?

Pan Yongjian nodded: Yes, in terms of traditional motors, although the technical level of our factory is not as good as that of developed countries, it is still relatively advanced in China.

However, we have also been catching up with the technological level of developed countries, which is also the focus of our scientific research department in recent years. High-end motors are profitable and have a lot of domestic demand, but the domestic market has always been monopolized by developed countries.

If we can make breakthroughs in the research and development of high-end motors, we will become a leading company in the domestic motor industry, and there is no problem in going public.

The scientific research of high-end motors should be very difficult, right? Li Weidong asked.

It's not small, but we have made some progress. Pan Yongjian continued: Chairman, don't underestimate our scientific research department, there are all college students who have graduated from a first book, and one with a master's degree!

With a scale of less than 300 people in the electrical machinery factory, it is indeed a great thing to have a master's degree.

Li Weidong said: As far as I know, in terms of traditional motors, the gap between us and developed countries is mainly in terms of materials. Our materials are not as good as those of developed countries, so the motors manufactured are in terms of performance, stability and lifespan. , not as good as developed countries.”

Chairman, you are right, the more high-end motors, the greater the gap in materials. Pan Yongjian continued: With our technical level, if imported materials are used, the motors produced are worse than those in developed countries. Not much.

However, these advanced imported materials will be controlled, and foreign countries will not sell them to us. Even if it is sold, it will be sold at a high price, which will push up production costs.

The cost of the motor we make with imported materials will be relatively high. As a result, the cost of making our own motor is more expensive than buying a complete imported motor directly. There is no market for it! Therefore, we still have to rely on localization to solve the problem.”

Li Weidong sighed silently: The material problem is a systematic project, not something that can be overcome in a day or two, nor can we solve it by a single motor factory.

However, it is an indisputable fact that we manufacture traditional motors and are caught in the neck by the material. And this problem of being stuck in the neck by the material, I don't know how long it will last!

So I think that if we want to develop Fukang Motor, we must break the tradition and break the routine! Instead of waiting for breakthroughs in materials, we might as well give up the research and development of traditional motors and instead develop new types of motors!

New motor? Pan Yongjian rolled his eyes and immediately asked, Chairman, are you referring to a brushless motor?

That's right, it's a brushless motor! Li Weidong nodded and continued: In terms of traditional brushed motors, we have lagged behind developed countries for a decade or two. We are making progress, and others are making progress, and we want to catch up. Not so easy.

But in terms of brushless motors, we are basically on the same starting line as developed countries, and this is the only chance for us to overtake the machete!

But as far as I know, the performance of brushless motors in all aspects is not as good as brush motors! Brush motors have more stable performance, simple control system, low component requirements, more maintenance, and want to use faster, start The torque is also greater, the shifting is more stable, the running accuracy is high, and it is not easily affected by electrical interference...

Pan Yongjian casually listed more than a dozen advantages of brushed motors. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Li Weidong smiled slightly: I know, from the current point of view, the performance of brushed motors exceeds that of brushless motors in all aspects, and brushless motors are full of various shortcomings.

But this is because brushed motors have been around for decades. I believe that when brushed motors were just invented, there were not so many advantages, right?

Rome wasn't built in a day. Researchers in developed countries have continuously optimized brushed motors for decades, so that brushed motors have today's performance, power and stability.

So I think that through the optimization of scientific researchers, the brushless motor can also become better and better, and the performance, power and stability will be improved, and even surpass the traditional brushed motor in some aspects!

The brushless motor is likely to be the trend of future development, which is definitely worth investing a lot of money in. If we can make a high-performance brushless motor, it is bound to cause a revolution in the motor.

Lao Pan, you tell our scientific researchers to do my best to develop brushless motors. Don't worry about the funds. If the motor factory's funds are not enough, I will pay Li Weidong personally, and I will also give the hard bone of brushless motors to me. Eat it down!
