The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Li Ming had already guessed that this would happen, "It costs one yuan and two cents to hire temporary workers from outside."

"They have been working continuously for half a month without stopping. They work so much overtime, they should be given some overtime pay!"

There are no fixed levels of wages in processing plants, a collective enterprise. Wages can be calculated either on a per-work basis or on a piece-rate basis.

He counted 14 days as 1.2 yuan per day, and an additional 2 yuan per day for the two days of overtime work on Sunday.

This wage plan was approved by Li Ming at the processing plant management committee and workers' meeting, so it was considered to be in compliance.

Most of the workers in the processing factory have borrowed money. If they receive more wages early, they can pay off their foreign debts earlier.

He also helped those who followed him to start their own businesses.

Fan Jiawen secretly muttered to himself that there were still temporary workers who could earn a few cents a day, but he did not say so directly, because the wages of collective enterprises did have a certain degree of flexibility.

"If there are 26 days in a month, the salary is 31 yuan, which is close to the salary of a first-level worker. If you include the overtime salary of 4 days, the salary is 37 yuan."

"The wages of most collective enterprises are one level lower than those of state-owned units. They will indeed be a little dissatisfied when processing plants pay such high wages."

Fan Jiawen gently reminded and persuaded.

Li Ming seemed to follow the good advice, "What you said makes sense."

"I talked to the five management committee members of the processing plant and tried to reduce the price by 5 cents to 2 yuan a day."

"A month of 1 days is 26 yuan. Although it is a few dollars more than an apprenticeship, they work the morning and midday shifts for 26 hours a day, which should be considered reasonable."

In fact, the salary grading this time was a routine he discussed with the five management committee members.

If the price is set at 1 yuan per day at the beginning, some people in the steel rolling mill will still have objections, so they might as well set a higher number first.

The people at the steel rolling mill were in a mood, and the processing plant followed the trend and lowered the price a little. On the surface, it seemed that they had followed the advice of lowering the price.

The person who yelled was also angry in his heart. A few words made him lose five or six yuan a month!

After the wages of processing factory workers were reduced, they still earned more than ordinary apprentices, so there was nothing to be dissatisfied about.

Li Ming will also make a big deal for the employees of the processing factory: after the processing factory has its own new factory, it will re-evaluate and increase the welfare benefits.

There is no such thing as a happy ending, at least all parties can accept it.

Fan Jiawen didn't know that their routine was so deep, so he smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay to set a higher level."

"The main reason is that the ham sausage has just been produced, and the people in the processing factory are just apprentices who have just joined the factory. There are more complaints from everyone."

"If we adjust the salary after some time, others will have nothing to say."

Li Ming smiled and said: "Uncle Fan, you are right."

"I don't know much about money. Please remind me more in the future."

Fan Jiawen said happily: "You only think about big things, and you don't pay attention to such small things."

They are all telling the truth. Fan Jiawen is an absolute confidant. He knows many of Section Chief Li's ongoing plans and is convinced from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way. Captain Gao from the Xiangyanghua Brigade called yesterday. He said that many of the bacteria sticks were already covered with mycelium and asked if it was time to change the color of the bacteria sticks?"

"I told him that you went on a business trip to Jincheng and might come back this afternoon. Captain Gao said he would call again in the afternoon."

Li Ming knew what was going on, "It seems that Captain Gao is a little anxious."

"It will be enough to start changing color in a few days."

He has more than a hundred fungus sticks in his hand, and he keeps track of the progress of mycelial growth.

Fan Jiawen guessed: "Maybe I'm afraid of delaying your affairs?"

"It's okay, we'll talk about it this afternoon. Is there anything else that I need to deal with right away?"

Fan Jiawen replied: "No more. It's all non-urgent things like night shift subsidy confirmation."

"You now have to go to the office building for a meeting to study the 'Important Orders'."

"The last 10 o'clock factory-wide meeting will be held in the playground."

Li Ming looked at his watch and said, "Then I'll go to the office building first." He took a little time to send Lou Xiao'e to work in Central this morning.

New orders have been issued in response to the latest situation.

‘1. Except for state organs that are ordered to carry out necessary arrest and detention tasks in accordance with the law, no group or individual is allowed to arrest people, and no private court is allowed to be held privately or in disguised form. ’

‘2. Archives, documents and seals of agencies at all levels. No group or individual is allowed to rob, steal or destroy. ’

‘3. The state’s property and collective property are absolutely inviolable, and the masses have the responsibility to protect them. No group or individual is allowed to encroach, rob, or use any excuse to destroy. ’

‘4. It is strictly prohibited to use force, to attack others, to fight in groups within the unit or outside the unit, and to snatch personal property. ’

‘5. Except when state organs are ordered to perform their tasks in accordance with the law, no group or individual is allowed to conduct searches or quarrel with any group or individual. ’

The latter two require the troops and the masses to implement the above five provisions, a total of seven, concise and to the point.

By the time Li Ming was in the playground again, after attending a meeting to support Hong Kong workers, it was already lunch time.

West of the city.

Institute of Innovation and Technology.

Luo Yun laughed and teased Zhou Xiaobai, "Someone is absent-minded today!"

"We haven't seen each other for just two days. Do you miss him that much?"

Zhou Xiaobai said firmly: "How can I be absent-minded?"

Luo Yun pointed out: "After reading the textbook for a long time, this page is still the same. If it were normal, you would have read two or three pages."

It was impossible to admit, Zhou Xiaobai said in a confused way: "I haven't fully understood this large section of content."

"I'm going to ask a researcher for advice this afternoon."

Luo Yun cleared the table, just joking, and did not continue to expose her best friend's shortcomings.

"Why are you thinking so much? I called and said he would come over. He will definitely be here soon."

"Shall we go buy popsicles at the door? My treat, what flavor do you want?"

The weather was a bit hot, so Zhou Xiaobai was not polite, "Would you like to buy three ice cream sticks? Leave one for Xiao Ming."

"What do you want to leave for me?"

Li Ming pushed the door in with a food box. When he made a paging call to Zhou Xiaobai, he also made a paging call to Chengxi Xiaoyuan to ask Fu Ma to prepare more meals.

Zhou Xiaobai suddenly stood up. He had not seen her for two days, and he missed her very much.

Luo Yun said with a smile: "Xiaobai even wanted to save a portion for you when eating ice cream, so as not to have anything to cool down when you come."

"Look how much she loves you!"

Li Ming closed the door with his feet, "I brought chilled mung bean soup. Let's drink mung bean soup."

Zhou Xiaobai's delicate little face was full of smiles. He couldn't be happier, and he complained:

"You just came back from a business trip. You have a lot of things to do."

Li Ming smiled and said: "Those are all small things. There is nothing more important in my heart than you."

Luo Yun took a food box and said, "I'm full. All I ate was the dog food you two spread."

"Haha, there are your favorite sweet and sour fish, fried bacon with lettuce, and cucumbers. They are all appetizers."

Luo Yun said happily: "Wow! Today's dishes are all good."

Zhou Xiaobai took another food box and said, "The dishes cooked in your cafeteria are so exquisite every time."

Li Ming casually said: "The small stove in the cafeteria will certainly do better."

"I prepared many of the materials myself, and the canteen just helped with the processing."

"I'm afraid I'll starve you, otherwise I'll ask the canteen to help make duck soup." Zhou Xiaobai warned: "It's too troublesome and it's not appropriate."

"I often eat too much, and others will grumble in their hearts even if they don't say anything."

The little girl's advice was quite interesting. Li Ming smiled and said, "It's okay to do it occasionally."

For more than half a year, the meals Li Ming brought were not always rich. Sometimes it was just a few dishes of pickles, and sometimes some sauerkraut.

There are radishes, greens, sea cucumbers, abalone, whatever. Zhou Xiaobai is used to it, and occasionally reminds him not to go too far.

After the meal, the three of them drank ice-cold mung bean soup and chatted.

Zhou Xiaobai told him the good news, "The money for the instant noodle production line has arrived, and 4 yuan has been deposited in the institute's account."

The external quotation for the instant noodle production line of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is 5-6 yuan, depending on the configuration.

There is no price advantage compared to Riben's machines, but the advantage is that it can save foreign exchange.

This experimental production line developed by the research institute was directly priced at a lower price in order to avoid losing money.

Fortunately, there is procurement information for large-scale accessories such as domestic motors and crawler tracks, so others can’t find fault with them.

Li Ming chuckled and said, "It's finally here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to open the pot."

You can still eat and drink without being able to open the pot. Luo Yun, who was drinking mung bean soup next to her, didn't believe a word of it.

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said: "It's so troublesome. Let's not do such troublesome things in the future."

Li Ming coughed and said, "Your dad has spoken, and we can't do anything. If others ask me, they must pay them first, otherwise I will ignore them."

Zhou Xiaobai responded sweetly: "Yes."

4 yuan, a year ago, was unaffordable in the capital, and there were many wealthy families with such wealth.

After a year of changes in things and people, 1 yuan is now very rich.

Only four of them, including Zhang Haiyang, knew the ownership and accounts of the institute.

The other part-time researchers didn't quite understand that they were not good people themselves and came here to hide themselves, and no one asked to get to the bottom of it.

This is why a big brother like Zhang Haiyang admires Li Ming very much. He is so damn capable and awesome, but the key is that everything is fine.

If they can stand in the right position every time, middle and low-level cadres in government agencies, enterprises, etc. can really say that nothing is wrong.

Easier said than done.

The king's flag changes at the top of the city. It is not easy to stand on the right side every time.

Li Ming, who has a secure position, is ready to spend a lot of money again. "With this money, we can purchase machinery and equipment in large quantities."

Zhou Xiaobai asked: "You went to Jincheng to see the exhibition. Did you see anything that we can use?"

"The Watch and Clock Research Laboratory is still discussing and studying the data, and there is no way to start experiments due to lack of equipment."

The information collected by the Port City Cambrian Laboratory was translated into Chinese and brought to the capital by Li Ming.

"I saw some, but I didn't buy them."

Luo Yun thought it was because of lack of money, "Now that I have money, can I buy it?"

Li Ming explained: "You can't buy them either. Those require foreign exchange. Our research institute has no place to apply for foreign exchange."

"I found people who went to the exhibition together and exchanged opinions with them. I also asked many domestic manufacturers."

Luo Yun admired: "You are awesome! If I had gone, I wouldn't have thought of this solution."

"There must be a road for a car to reach the mountain, and for a boat to reach the bridge, it will be straight. You may think of other ways."

Luo Yun knew it well, "Thank you for your compliment. I am still somewhat self-aware."

"I can't think of any of the things you did. Even the less outrageous thing about growing mushrooms with sawdust, I can't think of it."

"By the way, how are the mushrooms growing?"

Zhou Xiaobai said helpfully: "Xiao Ming just came back!" He meant that he didn't understand the situation yet.

Li Ming agreed: "It will take about ten days. Then you will take care of the mushroom sticks and cultivate the mushrooms with your own hands."

"I will ask Qiao Yongkuan to build a small shed in the backyard in advance to ensure shade and ventilation."

Scar-faced Qiao Yongkuan, the high salary of 45 yuan is not easy to get. In addition to guarding the gate and keeping vigil, he also has to be responsible for some strenuous chores.

It's only been 10 days, Luo Yun said happily: "You have to give us some guidance. It would be a pity if we messed up."

Li Ming said casually: "One mushroom stick can grow 2 pounds of shiitake mushrooms. You really need to put more thought into it."

"We will definitely be very careful."

Luo Yun then said longingly: "Xiaobai, what do you think is the best way for us to eat these mushrooms then?"

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said, "It will definitely be delicious if we make soup with the mushrooms we grow ourselves."

"I think it would be more delicious when fried with meat."

Before they even started taking action, the two of them were already thinking about how to eat.

Li Ming drank mung bean soup and listened with great interest.

in the afternoon.

Steel Rolling Mill Security Section.

Li Ming was writing and drawing in the office.

Qin Huairu came to the door.

"Where did you go at noon?"

"I went to Chengxi Research Institute to discuss quartz movements with those researchers."

"Oh. I didn't go home to eat in the factory at noon. When I came over, I found that your door was locked and no one was there."

"What's wrong? Are you ready? Do you want to contact me?"

Qin Huairu said coquettishly: "Go, go. I have something serious to ask you."

"With the newly purchased chopping knife and semi-automatic sausage tying machine, the production efficiency is higher. Now the ham processing plant is a little short of manpower."

Ever since Li Ming knew that Section Chief Chen Guodong had a way to get a loan, he placed an order with the equipment factory in advance.

Before he went to Jincheng, the machine had arrived.

"When I get my head straightened out, I'll recruit 50 more people in a few days."

"Are you picking people from the 350 people who didn't win last time?"

"Yes. We must try our best to fulfill what we said."

Qin Huairu reminded: "Others will probably have some ideas when they see that the ham sausage processing factory is so good."

Li Ming didn't take it seriously and said: "After the news is released, we will continue to expand the scale. There is hope that they will not look for trouble."

"New machines have been installed and the processing workshop is already very crowded. Do you want to expand the scale? There is not that much space left."

"Select a few people with nimble legs and eloquent words to go out and find land. I want to build a new factory."

Qin Huairu asked in surprise: "Where did you get the money?"

"What I mean is that the processing factory obviously has no money, so this purchase of the machine still requires a loan."

Li Ming said casually: "The new factory will hire at least 500 people, so 450 people will have to pay 400 yuan, or 18 yuan."

"Let's borrow the bricks and cement materials from Lujiashan Building Materials Factory first. There is more than enough money to build the factory."

Qin Huairu said in surprise: "The people behind you also have to pay! In what name do you plan to collect the money?" (End of Chapter)
