Chapter 41 Not doing your job properly?

Although the Third Ordnance Repair Factory is a maintenance company, like the state-owned enterprises of this era, all the workers who know skills and know skills are all professional and versatile. The turning master can also play with milling machines. Don’t think it’s strange to see the milling machine master making wooden molds. Of course, if you see an experienced cylinder boring master skillfully burning electric welding, you don’t have to be shocked to drop your chin. This is normal.

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded: "This time I took over the decoration business of the Finance Bureau, which gave me an inspiration. I plan to set up a new furniture factory and interior decoration company under China Resources Industry. The furniture factory has high-end office furniture and car seats as its main products, which is exactly complementary to the existing business."

"Open a furniture factory?" Liu Qianjin was completely stunned by Chen Geng: I just said that I was launching the shock absorber project, and I will start a furniture factory in a blink of an eye?

"There's no way," Chen Geng smiled bitterly and said, "Where are more than 120 people in China Resources Industrial? Where can we use so many people to modify the 212 Jeep? But the remaining people can't let them be idle, right? Since the market prospects of high-end furniture are good, it's just right for those idle people to make furniture, and the rest can still go to the market."

Liu Qianjin had to admit that what Chen Geng said was indeed reasonable.

Over the past few years, he has watched with his own eyes the "pursuit" of the local government leaders. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, it was very happy that the director of the county bureau could have a Jialing 50 motorcycle. But now, the leader of the county bureau tried every means to get him a 212 jeep; the leader who used jeep began to find ways to change himself to a car.

The desk and chair designed by Chen Geng are indeed very generous. In addition, he has seen what offices of so many foreign companies look like, so he has a vision. It is indeed very possible to set his sights on the high-end luxury office market.

Chen Geng is the manager of China Resources Industrial Development Co., Ltd. He promised him that he would be fully responsible for China Resources Industrial. It is said that opening a furniture factory does not require his own consent, but there is a problem in this...

"These masters who know carpenters in our factory are fine to help you when they have time, but if you really want to open a furniture factory, they will definitely not be able to go there often. How do you plan to solve the problem of carpenters?"

"I plan to go to the countryside to recruit." Chen Geng said without hesitation.

"Rural?" Liu Qianjin conceived various possibilities, but he didn't expect Chen Geng to put his ideas into the countryside. He was stunned for a moment before thinking about what Chen Geng had thought: "Are you talking about the carpenters in the countryside? Can their skills work? Also, how do you plan to solve the problem of preparation? The country cannot give them indicators for agricultural conversion to non-agricultural factors, and the situation in our factory is also special..."

"I have considered all these. The wooden furniture of all sizes in the countryside is made by their carpenters themselves. It's okay to use it for many years. Their foundation is still very solid," Chen Geng nodded first and said, "As for the issue of agricultural conversion to non-government and staffing that you are worried about, my idea is to recruit them as a temporary worker for the time being."

Chen Geng never thought that the insufficient staff of carpenters was such a serious problem. There was no qualified carpenter? It was easy to deal with. Which village in the countryside can’t find a few carpenters?

There are no state-owned construction teams or state-owned construction companies in rural areas. So what should I do if I build a house in rural areas? Simple, almost every natural village has its own carpenter group and stonemason group. These carpenters have no basic skills. In rural areas, they all come from large wardrobes, stands, kitchens, tables, chairs, and benches. They have been used for decades without any changes. Moreover, these carpenters and stonemasons are all professional and versatile. Not only are the basic skills of their own business very solid, but they are also good at decorating. With a little training, they can be skilled decoration workers. Chen Geng covets them and studies them.

With the attractiveness of cities to rural people in this era, Chen Geng did not think that these carpenters could refuse their call.

"Temporary worker? This is a way," Liu Qianjin nodded for a while. Chen Geng's thoughts made him lit up. However, Liu Qianjin had also been in the countryside and had some understanding of the skills of rural carpenters. If Chen Geng drew the drawings and asked those carpenters from the countryside to do it in a similar manner, the problem was indeed not big. The problem was: "But the wages of temporary workers are relatively low? The income in rural areas is also good now. Most of the households in 10,000 yuan are from the countryside. Farmers raise some pigs, grow some land, and key fruit trees. The income in a year is much higher than that of urban workers. If you pay them a lower salary, they may not be willing to go with you."

Liu Qianjin's words are not exaggerating at all. The farmers of this era are the happiest generation of farmers in the Republic. They have just been liberated from the land, and all their passions have been released, contracting land, contracting orchards, raising pigs... The life of farmers is definitely more comfortable than that of urban workers in the same period, but unfortunately, with the continuous increase in workers' income and the widening of the gap between industry, agriculture, and industry, the gap between farmers and towns in rural areas began to grow bigger and bigger.

Chen Geng also had a solution to Liu Qianjin's question: "I think so. In addition to the fixed salary of temporary workers, give them another performance salary, so that it will be attractive enough."

"Performance salary? No, no, absolutely not," Liu Qianjin's head shook like a rattle: "There is no such regulation..."

Can't pay performance wages? Chen Geng frowned. He didn't expect that there would be such trouble. However, Chen Geng didn't think this was a problem at all. After thinking about it, he immediately had an idea: "Then give them shares!"

"Give them shares?" Liu Qianjin was so scared by Chen Geng's crazy idea that he didn't know what to say: Crazy?

"Yes, I'm giving them shares," Chen Geng explained: "China Resources Industry is a large collective enterprise. The state stipulates that China Resources Industry can establish a collective enterprise with individuals or some people. In other words, the carpenters I recruited can occupy part of the shares of the furniture factory through technical investment. I think as long as China Resources Industry's controlling qualification is guaranteed, it is acceptable to let these carpenters occupy part of the shares. What do you think of this idea?"

“…”

This is OK? Liu Qianjin, who was thinking about how to persuade Chen Geng to give up this crazy idea, suddenly held it in his throat and said nothing.

This method is very good, really good. If these rural carpenters are allowed to invest in the Third Ordnance Repair Factory, of course it will not work. Even if they invest in the Third Ordnance Repair Factory, the military region will not agree. However, if they invest in the Third Ordnance Repair Factory with technology, there is really no problem.

Compared with rural areas, cities have too many welfare guarantees. For farmers in this era, being able to enter the city to work is something that makes their neighbors envious. They are considered promising, but they are urban residents who eat treasury grains. Even relatives and friends feel face. If they just simply let these carpenters from rural areas work as temporary workers, they may hesitate, but if they are allowed to become shareholders of furniture factories under China Resources Industry, even if they are just a small shareholder, those carpenters will definitely flock to this opportunity to work in the city and become urban people.

After thinking about this, Liu Qianjin was depressed. He really couldn't understand why he felt it was difficult and unsolvable. When he arrived at Chen Geng, it was simple and it was like playing. This feeling made Liu Qianjin very sad, and he began to doubt his IQ.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The craftsmanship of the workers and masters of the Third Ordnance Repair Factory is not for the cover. Although they are not professional carpenters, and although they have never made such a large table before, with their outstanding foundation, when Chen Geng gave the renderings and size diagrams, it took only three days to have three sets of "office sets" of large tables, large chairs, side cabinets and bookcases that emitted the smell of varnish appeared in front of Chen Geng.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the large class chair is not the type that can rotate due to technical level and materials, but a four-legged chair. However, there have been workers who helped Chen Geng create "six-directional multi-functional car seats" creatively added this function to this large class chair, allowing users to adjust the angle of the backrest and the height of the seat according to their needs. In this era, it is simply a super luxurious configuration.

I felt shocked when I saw the renderings, but when I saw with my own eyes that when the calm and heavy desk was placed in front of me, all the people who watched the excitement (there were also many of them to see Chen Geng making a fool of themselves) were shocked by the momentum of this set of office furniture and didn't know what to say.

Chen Geng could even see unconcealed greed in these guys' eyes, and he wanted to immediately use this set of office furniture to resist the possessiveness of his own office.

"Director Gao, how about it? Are you still satisfied with our work?" Chen Geng asked Gao Yueming with a smile.

Zhu Yueming was already smiling from ear to ear, and heard Yan Guang nodded: "Satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied..."

The previous worry had long disappeared without a trace. After seeing this set of tables and chairs, Gao Yueming felt that his decision to hand over the director's office to Chen Geng for decoration was really wise.

In the field of traditional office furniture that emphasizes momentum, the greatness is always beautiful, while the huge and powerful large desk is the thing that best reflects the majesty and momentum of the user. It has always been known as a magical tool for pretending. In this era when the largest desk is only about one and a half meters, this magnificent office furniture combination does not need to be more impacted on people.
