Chapter 242 Staying in the Factory for Chinese New Year
Many migrant workers wander abroad all year round and struggle for a living. Only during the Chinese New Year can they return home to spend a few days with their families and spend the year together.
After the New Year, I dare not feel the warmth of my family for a long time, so I have to leave in a hurry and continue to work hard for a living.
This is a big era of transition from an agricultural society to an industrial society.
In this big era, countless little people, just like animal migrations in nature, left their homes, far away from their homeland, and went thousands of miles away to make a living.
The hometown is getting more and more unfamiliar, and the foreign land is getting more and more familiar. Many times, people can't tell whether they are in their hometown or in a foreign land, and they don't know where they will finally convert.
There is a word called Chunyun.
The words contain countless joys and sorrows in this great era.
Many people can only find that sense of belonging when they go home for the Spring Festival.
Going home for the Chinese New Year has become a belief for most Chinese people.
Now Liu Qing told them that they couldn't go home for the New Year this year, of course they would be anxious.
Fortunately, everyone's opposition is not particularly fierce.
Because this factory pays them a high salary, including their board and lodging, they can get 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a month, and some even have 7,000 to 8,000 yuan for overtime work. This prodigal boss has a very good impression.
Opposition is not vehement.
Ma Guoming was a little anxious, not knowing why Liu Qing said such a thing.
Liu Qing and others have said almost the same, and then said:
"Everyone be quiet and listen to me."
As a boss, he still has a little prestige in the eyes of the workers, and after he spoke, those opposing voices also stopped.
Liu Qing said: "I know that going home for the New Year is very important to everyone, but this year is really a special situation."
"Why is it special?" Someone asked.
"The epidemic," Liu Qing said, "I don't know if you have paid attention to the news, but now there is an epidemic."
Some people don't pay attention to this, but some people do.
Someone asked: "Isn't there only a few dozen? No need to make a fuss?"
"At present, only dozens of patients have been detected, not only dozens of patients, there are many patients who have not been found, this is the most dangerous." Liu Qing said.
said, and added: "Such patients have been found in Siam."
Those people took a deep breath.
Liu Qing said: "There are two considerations for you to stay here for the Chinese New Year. One consideration is that now there is an epidemic, how many people have the disease, and how contagious the disease is, no one knows. You In the process of going back and forth, it is very likely that you will be infected. Another possibility is that when the epidemic breaks out and traffic is blocked, after you go back, you will not be able to go back to work.”
"Another consideration is that this is a respiratory infectious disease. If the epidemic breaks out across the country, there will be a huge demand for masks. We are making masks. I will not talk about the issue of making money or not. At such a moment, we can produce one more mask, which can add strength to the fight against the epidemic. From this aspect, I also hope that you can stay. It will benefit the country and the people. "
The previous words were heard by those people.
But what they said later, they didn't believe it, they all thought:
"Why, you still want to sell the mask at the price you set?"
was about to say something when he heard Liu Qing say:
"I also know that it is inhumane for you to stay here and continue to work during the Chinese New Year. I should make some compensation for you. That's what I think. Starting today, for the next month, it will be normal. In addition to the salary for work, everyone, every day, I will give you an additional 200 yuan in overtime allowance for the New Year. If you stay here for the New Year, each person will be given an additional 2,000 yuan for the New Year's red envelope - this and the year-end bonus coexist. "
Many workers suddenly felt that it was okay to stay here for the New Year.
The overtime allowance of 200 yuan per day is paid continuously for one month, that is 6,000 yuan.
plus two thousand New Year red envelopes, that is eight thousand dollars.
And for the period of time he stayed, the daily salary was still paid as usual. According to the normal standard, it was several thousand dollars.
The travel expenses to go home for the New Year, and all kinds of consumption during the New Year, that is another large sum of money.
Inside and out, you can get an extra 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
Although I lost the opportunity to reunite with my family, I can give my family a better life by spending 10,000 or 20,000 yuan more.
If you don’t spend it, there will be an extra guarantee for the future.
Especially the employees of this village, who live in this village, there is no such thing as going home for the New Year.
So much extra money out of thin air, I am very happy.
Ma Guoming looked at Liu Qing in horror—the masks couldn't be sold, and the warehouse was about to be filled up. You have to pay them extra money to let them continue to produce masks during the Chinese New Year. What are you doing?
He felt that Liu Qing was stunned by this matter.
However, they are the bosses, and they are willing to pay this money to blow up their positions, but he cannot persuade them.
After Liu Qing finished speaking, the workers expressed their opinions one after another:
"Since the epidemic is so serious, let's stay here for the New Year."
"The boss is also right. I won't go home for the New Year this year, and I'll talk about it next year."
"Go home during the festival..."
"At the top of the epidemic, we mask workers should also make a contribution to the country."
Listening to these reasonable statements, Liu Qing was quite relieved: "The consciousness of the masses is still quite high, let them stay, and they all stay."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he once again emphasized the issue of fire safety, so everyone must pay attention.
There are hundreds of millions of masks and so many raw materials in the warehouse.
According to the price they quoted now, that is the value of several hundred million.
If a fire goes away, who do you talk to?
Using the ability of banknotes to solve the problem of mask factory workers staying in the factory for the New Year, Liu Qing put down the last stone in his heart.
There are enough raw materials and enough machines, and the workers have stayed. After the outbreak, they also have the conditions to break out the production capacity.
Otherwise, most of the workers will go home for the Chinese New Year, and only a few workers from the village will work here, and most of the production capacity will be idle for more than a month, which is a pity.
After returning home, I suddenly thought that the 16th was the deadline for voting for the top ten young entrepreneurs in Pengcheng of the year. Today is the 15th, and I don’t know how the votes are.
clicked into the official account and took a look, and Liu Qing was taken aback - his votes actually reached more than 50,000 votes, more than 30,000 votes more than the second place, and he was far ahead.
"I'm going to win the rhythm!"
he thought to himself.
