Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In 1996, just after the Spring Festival, Li Weidong brought Mr. Li Dengke to a large hospital in Beijing for treatment.

Mr. Li Dengke has diabetes, which is normal at his age. But what's worse is that Mr. Li Weidong's diabetes has caused kidney disease, and some mild symptoms have already appeared.

In the last life, Mr. Li Dengke died of complications from diabetes. So Li Weidong didn't dare to be careless, and immediately took the old man to the big hospital in the capital.

At that time, it was best to find an acquaintance for such things as seeing a doctor. If there was an acquaintance, the entire diagnosis and treatment process would be much smoother.

Li Weidong has no shortage of acquaintances in the big hospitals in Beijing. Puppy Health itself is selling with money, and all kinds of "outpatient observation fees" are flying up.

Therefore, Li Weidong's need to find a single room in the Beijing University Hospital is just a matter of words. No matter what era, banknotes are the best relationship.

The big boss's father was hospitalized, and his employees naturally couldn't be neglected. The puppy health manager and above all came to visit the doctor with gifts. I don't know what kind of big man lived here!

Li Weidong was sitting beside the hospital bed, smiling at the gift from Yingying's subordinates, and said, "Dad, I looked around, you can't eat these things."

The key to diabetes is to control your diet, not to eat indiscriminately, let alone sweets.

Ordinary people will probably bring some apples and bananas when they go to visit a doctor, and even diabetics can't eat them.

The old man Li Dengke had a bitter expression and complained: "You can't eat this, and you can't eat that. The key is not to drink alcohol. This hospitalization is like going to prison!"

For Mr. Li Dengke, not being able to drink is really tormenting. For a man of his age, if he doesn't drink a few taels a day, he feels uncomfortable.

Li Weidong said, "Dad, how can you drink alcohol in the hospital! Which patient have you seen with a hanging bottle in one hand and a wine bottle in the other? And you have diabetic nephropathy this time. If there is a problem, you can't drink. I think you should take this opportunity to quit drinking!"

"Don't quit! I promised you to come to the capital for treatment, just so that you can drink happily in the future! If you ask me to quit drinking, I will be cured of this disease!" Mr. Li Dengke said firmly.

"Okay, if you don't quit, don't quit! You actively cooperate with the treatment, and when the disease is cured, I will buy a good wine for you to drink!" Li Weidong sighed helplessly,

As he gets older, he tends to be stubborn.

And this is his father after all, Li Weidong also hopes that the old man can live a happy life.

Mr. Li then asked, "What do you have for lunch? You can tell the cook to put more cooking wine, and I can also satisfy my cravings..."

At this moment, the phone rang, and Li Weidong walked out of the ward and answered the phone.

Wang Jing's voice sounded from the receiver: "How is the old man?"

"It's okay. After being hospitalized, I have to stay in the capital for a while." Li Weidong then asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"I just received a notice from the Labor Bureau that it was going to hold a job fair, which was hosted by the city, and asked our factory to also participate." Wang Jing said.

"Job fair? Our factory is recruiting workers, why use it for job fairs!" Li Weidong said.

The Puppy Electric Factory has always had no shortage of workers.

In the 1990s, there were surplus laborers in rural areas who had to endure hardships and stand hard work. For them, they could earn money by working in factories.

What's more, large-scale foundries recruit ordinary workers, not by way of job fairs. Foundries often have simple jobs and a large amount of labor. They recruit people scattered at job fairs.

In future generations, such as Foxconn, Luxshare Precision, and BYD, large foundries, how can they recruit grass-roots general workers through job fairs!

Puppy Electric recruits workers from batches of dignitaries. The strong laborers from several villages or even a town come to hundreds of workers at once, and then conduct unified training.

The labor bureau knew this, so when Li Weidong heard that the labor bureau let the electrical appliance factory participate in the job fair, he was a little surprised.

Wang Jing then said: "I asked, this job fair is not a general job fair, but a job fair specifically for laid-off workers."

"It turned out to be looking for Panxia!" Li Weidong nodded suddenly.

"Panman?" Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding the new vocabulary.

Li Weidong explained: "Panxia is a person who is selfless, regardless of past suspicions, and sacrifices himself in exchange for the happiness of others. These laid-off workers are all hot potatoes. If anyone recruits them, isn't it sacrificing themselves in exchange for the happiness of others!"

"It's really such a rationale!" Wang Jing continued; "Our countryside here pays attention to three, six, nine, and going out, so after the New Year, on the ninth, sixteenth and nineteenth of the new year, there are three games in the city. Big job fair.

But those who find jobs at job fairs are all young people, those over the age of 30, and almost no one wants them. As for laid-off workers, few of them find jobs at job fairs.

In the past two years, more and more laid-off workers have been laid off, but very few are able to find jobs again. The city is also very anxious. I heard that Secretary Zhang Jiagang personally decided to hold a job fair for laid-off workers to help them find jobs.

Moreover, the Labor Bureau has also set a goal for participating companies, and let each company report the number of recruits. The more the number, the better. "

"The laid-off workers are the households with difficulties in finding employment. It is a good thing to help them find jobs again. Zhang Jiagang's original intention was good, but unfortunately he didn't understand that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." Li Weidong sighed lightly.

Wang Jing then said: "I am worried about the number of people to report now. How much do you think we should report?"

"How many jobs does the Labor Bureau want us to provide?" Li Weidong asked.

"Our factory is a large factory. I inquired about it from the side. The labor bureau wants us to solve 500 to 1,000 jobs, so at least 500 laid-off workers must be provided with jobs." Wang Jing said.

Li Weidong pondered for a moment, then said, "We must support the re-employment of laid-off workers in the city. As an enterprise, we should also shoulder social responsibilities. Therefore, in this job fair, we will directly provide 2,000 jobs. It's a positive response to the call!"

"2,000 jobs? But we can't use so many people!" Wang Jing was shocked, and then said;

"After the Chinese New Year, we have just found a group of young workers from the countryside. We are currently training them. It is estimated that they will be able to take up jobs next month. There is no shortage of workers in the factory!

And most of those laid-off workers are in their 40s, and they are still with their families, so how can a young and strong guy be easy to use! It is a hassle to recruit these people to our factory.

Those young men from the countryside have food and lodging in the factory. When they need to work overtime, they can go to the assembly line at any time without delaying work at all. Laid-off workers are both old and young, and it is not easy to make them work overtime.

In addition, recruiting laid-off workers is not easy to manage! They are all people from state-owned enterprises, and they simply cannot adapt to our strict militarized management. Instead, they will drag down the operation of the entire production line. "

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said, "So when we arrive at the job fair, we must clearly write down the working environment, job nature, wages, and even rules and regulations in the factory.

To let the laid-off workers have a full understanding of our enterprise, we must not let them come to work without understanding! It is not easy for laid-off workers, and we must respect people's right to know! "

"What do you mean?" Hanhan Wangjing obviously didn't understand, he simply said: "Wei Dong, don't go around with me, I'm stupid, I don't understand these vain heads, what are you going to do, just say it directly ."

Li Weidong had no choice but to say frankly: "I just want you to tell those who are applying for the job that our factory is managed militarily, with long working hours and high work intensity. As soon as you start work, you have to stay on the production line, and you have to report to the line leader even when you go to the toilet. , and there is a time limit! We implement the 007 working system!"

"007 movie, I know, there are two videotapes at home. What is the 007 work system?" Wang Jing asked.

"The so-called 007 work system is to work from 0 to 0, seven days a week!" Li Weidong replied.

"Isn't that just 24 hours of continuous rotation? Who can stand this! Even a young and strong guy, if he doesn't rest, he has to lie down in three days!" Wang Jing said.

"Isn't this asking you to promote it? Besides, we don't usually require workers to be on call 24 hours a day. If they need to work overtime, they have to go to work immediately. This is also called the 007 work system. If they really work, that is, 887 working system." Li Weidong said.

"The 887 working system?" Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, then said, "Do you work from eight in the morning to eight in the evening, seven days a week?"

"That's right, that's what it means." Li Weidong paused, then continued: "But when it comes to publicity, we should talk about 007 first, then talk about 887, and after clarifying the work intensity and management system, we will talk about wages and benefits last.

When talking about wages and benefits, we should also emphasize labor discipline, and list those items that are deducted from wages in detail. Let those who come to apply for a job have a full understanding of our work, lest people come and say it is not suitable. "

"I understand, you are trying to scare people away! If you do this, let alone 2,000 jobs, even 20,000 jobs, it's hard to recruit people." Wang Jing said.

"Nonsense, we are running a business, not a shantang! If we don't scare people away, wouldn't we really recruit people? There are so many young and strong guys who can use them, why use uncles and aunts in their forties and fifties? !"

Li Weidong paused, then said: "To solve the problem of re-employment of laid-off workers, relying on a few enterprises to create hundreds of jobs is a complete solution to the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is also a burden for enterprises. The real solution still has to be taught. People are fishing!"

After finishing the call with Wang Jing, Li Weidong called Zhang Tao's phone number of Fukang Engineering.

"Chairman, what are your orders?" Zhang Tao asked.

"Recently, there will be a job fair in the city, mainly for laid-off workers. Let's go and participate!" Li Weidong said.

"Laid-off workers? Why are we recruiting laid-off workers?" Zhang Tao said with some disgust.

"Let's see if there is anyone who understands technology, such as turning, milling, planing and grinding. Those who are skilled at living can be recruited to the factory." Li Weidong said.

Zhang Tao replied: "Okay, then I'll ask the human resources department to take a look, but don't get your hopes up, there is a shortage of skilled jobs everywhere these days. Even if such skilled workers are laid off, there are still companies that want them. They simply can't get a job fair for laid-off workers."

"I know." Li Weidong continued; "Whether you can recruit someone is one thing, and whether you can go is another. If you can't recruit someone, it's because the applicant's ability is insufficient, but if you don't go, it's our attitude. problem.

As an enterprise, we should not only think about making money, but also have to take social responsibility. To help laid-off workers re-employment, you have to show your attitude! "

...

Director Zheng of the Labor Bureau waited for more than half an hour, and finally talked about going to report his work.

After entering Zhang Jiagang's office, Zhang Jiagang just raised his head, then pointed to the chair in front of him, and motioned Director Zheng to sit down and say.

After being seated, Director Zheng opened his mouth to report: "Secretary Zhang, the preparations for this special job fair for laid-off workers have been completed. At present, more than 200 companies have actively signed up for the job fair. These more than 200 job fairs will provide Fifteen thousand jobs!"

"15,000 jobs?" Zhang Jiagang raised his head with a look of joy on his face. This number was much better than he expected.

In the past two years, there have been more and more laid-off workers in Qinghe City. If the reemployment problem of 15,000 laid-off workers can be solved, it will solve a big problem.

Director Zheng said, handed a document to Zhang Jiagang, and said, "This is the list of companies participating in the job fair and the number of workers they recruited. Please take a look."

Zhang Jiagang opened the file, and there was a table in it. The table was arranged according to the number of jobs offered, so the first one was naturally the 2,000 people in the Puppy Electric Factory.

"This Puppy Electric Factory is hiring 2,000 people at once!" Zhang Jiagang couldn't help but said.

"Puppy Electric Factory has always been a company with a large number of employees in our city. I thought they could solve 500 to 1,000 jobs this time, but I didn't expect them to recruit 2,000 people at once, but it really solved a big problem for us. ." Director Zheng praised.

Zhang Jiagang nodded with satisfaction: "Li Weidong of Puppy Electric has always been an entrepreneur with a great sense of social responsibility."

Director Zheng went on to say: "In addition to Puppy Electric, Li Weidong's Fukang project also signed up for the job fair. Although only 100 people are planned to be recruited, such companies that sign up on their own initiative are rare."

"Sign up on your own initiative?" Zhang Jiagang sighed: "Many state-owned enterprises have pushed back on the recruitment of laid-off workers. Li Weidong, as a private entrepreneur, took the initiative to sign up, which is really a model for entrepreneurs in our city!"

At this time, Zhang Jiagang wanted to award Li Weidong one of the top ten outstanding youths in Qinghe City.

Then Zhang Jiagang continued: "Since Li Weidong is keen to help laid-off workers find jobs again, then we can't let him down. Arrange for him. This job fair will give him the best position!"

...

The job fair was held on the football field of the city gymnasium.

The first to arrive were mostly job seekers in their thirties.

At this age, there are elderly people and children who are in school. They are under great economic pressure. They are the main force to support their families and have the most urgent need for work.

For those who are older, their parents may have passed away, their children have grown up, they also have some savings, and the financial pressure is not so great, but they are not in a hurry to find a job.

Especially those who are nearly fifty years old, thinking that they can retire after another two years, and they are so happy to receive a pension, and they are not in a hurry to find a job.

People looking for jobs shuttled between booths, and they didn't prepare any resumes, they just introduced themselves with one mouth.

"I used to belong to the 9527 factory, yes, the 9527 factory next to the insurance company. Well, it has already closed down, and it went down last year!"

"What can I do? I can burn boilers. I used to burn boilers in the factory. What else can I do besides boilers? I can burn two boilers at the same time!"

"I'm a fitter in a forge. Can I drive a CNC machine? What is a CNC machine? Never used. What size pliers do I need?"

"What kind of education is it? Junior high school. Not junior high school, at least high school graduate? If I go to high school, I will be laid off, and I would have gone to the normal school!"

"I've been an accountant in the city's chemical fertilizer factory for more than ten years. People in the factory call me iron abacus. I'm very good at abacus! Using a computer? No, it's all young people's stuff. VAT invoices? You must know a computer!"

"Your Nanshan Pharmaceutical Factory is a state-owned enterprise, right? What? It has been restructured? Now it is a joint stock company? Isn't that an individual?

"You only recruit cleaners? I used to be a regular worker in the city blanket factory. Does the blanket factory know? It was a large state-owned enterprise in our city back then. Let me be an official state-owned enterprise worker to clean up? Don't do it!"

"Your salary is too low! New recruits are all paid this salary? I've been working for 20 years, why should I get the same salary as those new recruits!"

"I used to be the workshop director of the factory. When I come to your place, why do I have to be a department manager for me? There is only a shortage of ordinary employees, not a manager? If I don't even give a department manager, what can I do!"

Obviously, in addition to being older, less educated, and unskilled, many job seekers are also selective, and what they expect is the previous position and treatment.

As a result, the jobs provided by the company do not meet the psychological expectations of job seekers at all, and very few of the two parties reach an employment relationship.

This was also a social reality at the time. In addition to being older, less educated, and unskilled, laid-off workers themselves had too high expectations for work, which was also a reason.

Most of the laid-off workers are from state-owned enterprises. They have not participated in the fierce market competition, and they hope to find a job with the same environment as the original state-owned enterprise.

However, enterprises have already entered the market economy, and the jobs they provide cannot meet the needs of laid-off workers. As a result, the problem of employment of laid-off workers is aggravated.

This is a conceptual issue. Even after more than ten years, some areas in China still hold a belief that only civil servants, public institutions and state-owned enterprises are serious jobs. If I can't find this kind of job, I would rather stay at home than go to a private enterprise.

...

The booth of the Puppy Electric Factory is in the most central position. No matter which door you enter, you can eventually walk to the Puppy Electric Factory.

At this time, the Puppy Electrical Appliance Factory had already set up several large propaganda posters with various slogans written on the posters.

For example, "Puppy Electric Factory, looking forward to your joining", this is relatively normal.

There are also introductions to the corporate system: "Our work system is: 007, no rest!", "Ours has the most strict militarized management system in the world".

There are also introductions to corporate culture: "Working overtime is glorious, working overtime is great, and working more overtime is a good employee!", "Working overtime for four hours, happy every day!", "Working 12 hours is just right, and being on call 24 hours is not enough. few!"

The following slogans alone scared away most of the job seekers.
