Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

In the era of planned economy, there was no problem of job stability. At that time, there were only those who had jobs and those who did not have jobs. Those who had jobs referred to those who had worker establishments, and those who did not have jobs were all second-rate people.

After the reform and opening up, self-employed individuals and private enterprises gradually emerged. With the reform of state-owned enterprises, the so-called worker establishment also disappeared in the long river of 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 "stability".

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

Even now, civil servants, doctors, teachers, etc. are still the best careers in the eyes of the mother-in-law. Second-level jobs such as banks, state-owned enterprises, etc. can be made do with.

The biggest advantage of these careers is stability.

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

Especially older workers like Master Wang, who have passed the age of hard work. After working for more than 30 years, although he is not rich, he still has some savings.

Giving him a salary increase of one hundred and eighty yuan a month is not very attractive to him. Those dozens of yuan more will not be attractive to him.

Instead, it would be better to give him a job where he can survive until retirement without worrying about being laid off midway.

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

The Labor Law promulgated by China in 1994,

The legitimate rights and interests of workers are protected in many detailed rules.

For example, recruitment age, working hours, public holidays, holidays, paid vacations, etc.

There is one of them,

That is, to establish a labor relationship between an employer and an employee, a labor contract must be signed in accordance with laws and regulations.

However, the regulations at that time clearly stipulated that

The contract must have a clear duration. The purpose of this is to ensure the interests of workers and prevent workers from being tied to one company for their entire lives and becoming "long-term employees" of the company.

After all, in that era,

Many people still think that private entrepreneurs are like capitalists or landlords in the old society, who will exploit workers as much as possible. In order to prevent private entrepreneurs from restricting workers' freedom of coming and going with a contract, a fixed term must be added to the contract.

But with the discovery of the economy, this situation of signing a contract every three to five years,

But it harms the interests of workers.

Workers will worry about waiting for the contract period to expire.

The company no longer signs contracts with itself,

Then wouldn’t he be unemployed?

Especially some older workers,

If you are unemployed, it will be difficult to find another job.

So in 2007, when the country amended its labor law,

There is an open-term labor contract. To prevent workers from being "unemployed" when they get older.

According to the provisions of the law,

If an employee has worked continuously for more than ten years with the same employer and both parties agree to renew the labor contract, if the employee proposes to conclude a labor contract with an indefinite term, an indefinite-term labor contract shall be concluded.

Of course, even if you sign an open-term labor contract, those who should be laid off will be laid off. There are only a few Internet companies in the future who are over 40 years old and have not been laid off.

However, layoffs and contract expiration will not be renewed.

They are two completely different situations.

Layoffs require workers to be compensated in accordance with the law. The layoffs of some major Internet companies,

The compensation given is enough to live in a small city for a lifetime.

If the contract expires and is not renewed, you will leave directly without getting a penny of compensation.

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

It is still 2001, and the labor law has not yet clarified that there is no fixed-term contract. However, in order to solve the problem of New Oriental Factory workers, Li Weidong simply came up with the idea of ​​​​unfixed-term labor contract.

Moreover, Li Weidong also changed the concept in a very stupid way, linking the indefinite term with being able to work for a lifetime.

How could Master Wang know this? When he heard that the contract had no expiry date,

That means you can work until you retire,

Don’t worry about career problems halfway through.

In Master Wang's subconscious mind, he had the same stability as a state-owned enterprise.

However, in terms of face, private enterprises are inferior to state-owned enterprises.

State-owned enterprises are not part of the system, and workers in state-owned enterprises do not have the status of civil servants or public institutions. However, speaking out about the status of workers in state-owned enterprises is a matter of dignity.

When working in private enterprises, the common perception is that working for an individual boss is not a face-saving job, nor does it sound promising.

Master Wang let out a long sigh, softened his attitude a lot, and then said: "With this indefinite-term contract, it is very stable, but we are not considered workers of state-owned enterprises anymore. If relatives and friends ask, where are you?" I’m embarrassed to answer wherever I work!”

The saying "getting rich through hard work" has been around for some years, but in the subconscious mind of many people, as long as you are not working for the government, it is not considered a serious job, and it would be very shameless to speak out about it.

When asked where you work, if you answer that it's in a certain bureau, it will definitely give you face. If you say it's in a certain factory, it will go down a level. If the certain factory is still a private enterprise, you will be embarrassed to speak. !

At that time, the contempt among workers was that foreign-funded enterprises were better than state-owned enterprises.

State-owned enterprises are better than private enterprises,

Private enterprises are better than working with self-employed individuals.

In order to attract foreign investment,

Foreign-funded enterprises enjoy some super-national treatment, and ordinary people generally feel that the moon in foreign countries is rounder. No matter what, as long as it can have a little foreign flavor, it is good.

Being able to work in a foreign-funded enterprise means that you can be exposed to foreign influences every day, and you will naturally appear to be high-ranking. In some developed coastal cities, if you work in a foreign-funded enterprise, it is more popular to find a partner than a civil servant.

Moreover, at that time, the scale of China's own enterprises had not yet developed, management and systems were not in line with international standards, and salaries were not high. In contrast, foreign investment does provide more money, good benefits, and advantages in terms of remuneration.

At that time, foreign trade-related majors were the best choice for college entrance examinations, because studying this major allowed one to work in foreign-funded enterprises.

At that time, many graduates from 985 universities would compete for the position of foreign trade salesperson in a foreign-funded enterprise. In the eyes of ordinary people, the foreign trade salesperson of this foreign-funded enterprise is just a gold collar!

Nowadays, it is simply unthinkable! I am a top student who graduated from 985 program and want to be a foreign trade salesperson? How funny!

Those that are one level below foreign-funded enterprises are naturally state-owned enterprises. Everyone knows this and there is no need to explain it further.

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

Although private enterprises are not as stable as state-owned enterprises, such large-scale private enterprises still adhere to rules in management. At least they formally sign contracts with labor unions and will not deliberately find excuses to withhold wages, holidays and rest days. Also guaranteed.

In the eyes of ordinary people, ordinary workshop-style factories are not considered private enterprises, and can only be regarded as larger self-employed businesses, similar to those running restaurants on the roadside.

This category is at the bottom of the chain of contempt for wage earners.

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

There are too many unknown factors when working in a small enterprise or as a self-employed person. Whether you can meet a conscientious boss depends entirely on personal luck.

Most workers simply hope to receive rewards through their labor, rather than gambling on luck. Therefore, this kind of work, which is full of unknown factors, is naturally not welcomed.

It is precisely because of the existence of this chain of contempt that Master Wang raised the issue of losing face when working in private enterprises. This is indeed a very real problem.

And this problem not only existed at the time, it will still exist in the future.

Li Weidong does not have the ability to solve this kind of problem, but he does have 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 here, the treatment I give to my workers is better than that of foreign-funded enterprises!"

"As a private company, can your treatment be better than that of foreign-funded companies?" Master Wang looked unconvinced. After all, at that time, the best-paid companies in the country were foreign-funded enterprises.

Li Weidong continued: "I plan to implement an enterprise annuity system for the employees of New Oriental Factory."

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

"Enterprise annuity is a kind of pension insurance system." Li Weidong continued to explain: "Let me give you an example. For example, Master Wang, you are currently receiving salary from New Oriental Factory. After retirement, you will receive pension from the national 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 get a pension from the state, but the factory will also give you an additional pension, which is equivalent to getting two A pension! "

"Two pensions? Real or fake? Is there such a good thing?" Master Wang looked unbelieving.

"Of course it is true." Li Weidong continued; "Developed countries have long begun to implement this system. For example, in the United States, many companies have this enterprise annuity. And in Japan, both large and small companies have Enterprise annuity system.

However, these are benefits provided by foreigners. After foreign-funded companies came to China, they did not implement an enterprise annuity system for Chinese employees. Now I plan to implement this system in New Oriental Factory. Isn’t this a better treatment than that of foreign-funded enterprises? "

Master Wang generally didn't listen to the latter part of the explanation. His mind was now filled with the matter of two pensions.

Gu Zhen "Really have two pensions?" Master Wang confirmed again.

"Of course, I still say what I said. When we sign the contract in black and white, if you can't trust me, how can you still trust the contract?" Li Weidong replied.

Master Wang nodded in confusion. At this time, his mind was in chaos and he no longer knew what to choose.

As a state-owned enterprise worker, it is certainly a good thing to speak out, but the two pensions are really too tempting!

Especially for this kind of old worker who will retire in a few more years, face is not as important as pension!

Li Weidong then said: "Master Wang, I think we will talk about this today. What are the specific contents of this open-ended labor contract and corporate annuity and how to implement it? I will write a written plan and then submit it to Inform all employees of New Oriental Factory!”

Even twenty years later, corporate annuities are still a rarity for the Chinese. Only a few companies with good welfare benefits will have corporate annuities.

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

Enterprise annuities are similar to social security. The individual contributes part of the money, and the company 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 all at once like provident funds.

This fund can also be invested like a social security fund, but it usually invests in some capital-guaranteed financial products.

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

Although the policy at the time did not include provisions related to corporate 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 for policy to stop them.

Moreover, the enterprise annuity is based on the proportion of salary, and individuals and companies 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 salary, the pressure on enterprises would not be great.

If twenty years later, Chinese people's salaries have risen, the proportion of labor costs has increased sharply, and corporate annuities will also be a large expense.

As a boss, if you want workers to be willing to work hard, being willing to pay them is a necessary condition.

But there are many ways to give money. The same amount of money, sometimes thrown in as welfare, makes it easier to win people's hearts.

Facing these workers at New Oriental Motor Factory, Li Weidong chose not to throw money directly, but to exchange the money for benefits, and then use the benefits to hit him!

The non-fixed-term labor contract only appeared six years later when the "Labor Contract Law" was revised. Since it is a regulation implemented by the state after sufficient research and demonstration, and then passed legislation, it also shows that the non-fixed-term labor contract is very important. Meet the needs of the majority of workers.

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

What's more, there is also a corporate annuity, which is an employee benefit that is still unavailable twenty years later! In 2001, the treatment was really more generous than that of foreign-funded enterprises.

Who doesn’t want an extra pension? The remaining 10% or 20% of the resistance has disappeared without a trace with the support of corporate annuities.

Shares and dividends successfully made the management of New Oriental Factory loyal, while the lack of fixed-term contracts and corporate annuities eliminated workers' emotions, and there was no obstacle to the acquisition of New Oriental Motor Factory.

Even if there are a few people who are still dissatisfied, it is innocuous. Scattered opposition voices are insignificant.

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

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

"Our motor factory was originally the motor production workshop of Huanghai Petrochemical. Because Huanghai Petrochemical's business requires some motor equipment, we set up a special motor workshop.

Later, it became popular for companies to engage in tertiary industry, and the motor workshop was independent from Huanghai Petrochemical and became the tertiary industry 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 relatively scarce. Our motor factory was backed by Huanghai Petrochemical, so it could obtain more resources. The supply of products exceeded demand, so it also developed relatively quickly.

Later, when the state inspected the tertiary industries of enterprises, our electrical machine factory simply became an independent enterprise and was regarded as a subsidiary of Huanghai Petrochemical. By the joint-stock reform in the mid-1990s, 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 have become higher and higher.

Our motor factory has also developed several new products by leveraging this trend. At present, we are still not capable of high-end motors, but we provide all the mid- to low-end motors that Huanghai Petrochemical needs.

In addition to Huanghai Petrochemical, we have many customers, mainly concentrated in several cities around the province. Customers from other provinces still only supply products in scattered ways, and have not yet formed a large scale. "

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

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

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

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

"Scientific research on 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. All of them are college students who have graduated, and there is also a master's degree! "

Considering that the electrical machine factory has less than 300 people, 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 in developed countries, so the performance, stability and lifespan of the manufactured motors are , are not as good as developed countries.”

"Chairman, you are right. The more high-end the motor, the greater the material gap." Pan Yongjian continued: "With our technical level, if we use imported materials, the motors produced will be worse than those in developed countries." Not much.

However, these high-end imported materials will be subject to control and will not be sold to us by foreign countries. Even if it is sold, it will be sold at a high price, which will push up the production cost.

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 at all! Therefore, we still have to rely on domestic substitution to solve the problem.”

Li Weidong sighed silently: "The material problem is a systematic project. It cannot be overcome in a day or two, nor can we as a motor factory solve it.

However, it is an indisputable fact that when we manufacture traditional motors, they are stuck in the material. And I don’t know how long this problem of getting stuck in the material will last!

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

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

"That's right, it's a brushless motor!" Li Weidong nodded, and then said: "In terms of traditional brushed motors, we have lagged behind developed countries for ten or twenty years. We are making progress, and others are also making progress, and we want to catch up. Not that easy.

But in terms of brushless motors, we are basically on the same starting line as developed countries. This is our only chance to overtake! "

"But as far as I know, the performance of brushless motors is inferior to brushed motors in all aspects! The performance of brushed motors is more stable, the control system is simple, the component requirements are low, maintenance is more complicated, and if you want to use it faster, start up The torque is also greater, the speed change is smoother, the operation precision is high, and it is not susceptible to electrical interference..."

Pan Yongjian casually listed a dozen advantages of brushed motors.

Li Weidong smiled slightly: "I know that as of now, the performance of brushed motors is better than that of brushless motors in all aspects. 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 first invented, they didn’t have so many advantages, right?

Rome was not built in a day. Scientific researchers in developed countries have spent decades constantly optimizing brush motors, which has enabled brush motors to achieve today's performance, power and stability.

So I think that through the optimization of scientific researchers, brushless motors can become better and better, improving performance, power, and stability, and even surpassing traditional brushed motors in some aspects!

Brushless motors are likely to be the future development trend, and they are definitely worth spending a lot of money to invest in. If we can make high-performance brushless motors, it will definitely lead to a motor revolution.

Lao Pan, tell our scientific researchers to do their best to develop brushless motors. Don’t worry about funds. If the motor factory’s funds are not enough, I, Li Weidong, will personally pay for the brushless motor. Chew it down! "
