Chapter 561 A Slap and a Sweet Treat! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In this era, the workers are the masters!

With the factory's more than one hundred employees properly taken care of, there's no need to worry about outsiders coveting the property.

The repair shop's Party Secretary and the chairman of the trade union are both in place, but so what?

Despite his father, Wu Zhi, frequently spending time in the workshop and personally participating in product development, the repair shop remains firmly under his control.

Nobody's a fool!
The repair shop, which is currently experiencing rapid growth, is not necessarily united, but at least there hasn't been much internal strife yet.

Anyone with half a brain knows that the better the factory performs, the more beneficial it will be for veteran employees like them.

If the Party Secretary wants to seize power, he naturally wants a share of the profits.

But what points will he get?

Everyone knows that the repair shop's current success is all thanks to the manager's clever thinking.

Wu Aiguo spread some things around the factory by talking to the security guards.

The repair shop's advantage is only in the last six months.

When production plans are restructured next year, those factories with strong capabilities will likely start producing honeycomb briquettes, as well as various briquette machines and honeycomb briquette stoves.

At that time, the repair shop's business will plummet!
At best, they might be able to make ends meet, but don't even dream of achieving what they have now.

At this point, the repair shop was still just a makeshift operation.

Many state-owned enterprises lack supporting facilities.

If the current booming scene were to disappear, it's feared that comprehensive welfare benefits could not be guaranteed in the future.

Basic benefits such as medical reimbursement and housing allocation.

Wu Aiguo put it very clearly: Anyway, his father has the skills and knows how to manage, so if he's unhappy at the repair shop, he can just start his own business.

As long as he still has sufficient ability, I believe the local authorities will provide adequate support.

He even suspected that the local authorities might be more than happy to see this happen.

At that time, Wu Zhi can build another promising factory and arrange for dozens or even hundreds more young men from the hutongs to work there.

Such rumors, however, made the repair shop employees wary.

Their idea was simple and straightforward: it would be better for Director Wu to stay at the repair shop.

Instead of spending more energy and time starting from scratch, it's better to expand and grow the repair shop.

With the support of many workers, no one can shake Director Wu's position.

After delivering a blow to the head, it's only natural to offer a sweet treat.

That is, Wu Zhi intends to carry out unified planning and construction of the factory area, as well as the dormitories and numerous logistics units.

This ignited the workers' enthusiasm.

The planning and construction of the factory, or rather, its hygiene conditions, can be put aside for now; they're already used to it anyway.

But the construction of the dormitory was what they longed for most.

Housing is extremely tight in Beijing, especially for ordinary working-class families.

Many families have only 20 or 30 square meters of living space, yet they house a large family of seven or eight people.

It was true; once you put down the necessary furniture, there wasn't even a place to step.

The key point is that workers' families are used to housing being allocated by factories and neighborhoods, and have no intention of buying their own homes.

For example, Wu Aiguo's family is quite well-off.

The house is over 30 square meters, but every time Wu Aiguo comes home, he can only sleep on a makeshift wooden bed. This is only because his two younger brothers, Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun, are not yet fully grown up and can still share a bed.

But when they get old, and then there's Wu Aihong, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

At this time, if there were dormitories available at the factory, even a multi-person room would be better than being crammed at home!
Wu Aiguo is not going to save the factory any money on this.

That's right, the factory planning drawings were all his ideas, and then experts from the design institute were invited to help create them.

Absolutely 2010s style!
The factory buildings are spacious and bright, the dormitories are exquisite and beautiful, the workers' activity center is fully equipped, and the medical room is like a small hospital.

It may lack various electrical equipment from 2010, and even the materials are quite different.

But what Wu Aiguo wanted was to be eye-catching!
In particular, the dormitories are divided into multi-person dormitories and family dormitories!

The dormitory was similar to the university dormitories of later generations, with a maximum of four people living in one room, consisting of four bunk beds with cabinets underneath.

Then there's a long table with four chairs, the area is about twenty square meters, and a small balcony for drying clothes.

Family dormitories are what we now call small, exquisite apartments.

The apartments are mostly 25 square meters and 35 square meters, with two types of dormitories: one with a bedroom, living room and kitchen, and the other with a two-bedroom, living room and kitchen.

Of course, the walls won't be painted with imitation porcelain paint, and the floor won't be tiled; that would just cause trouble for the factory.

Even so, the release of the planning and construction drawings caused a sensation throughout the entire repair shop.

Although the house is still in the planning stage, it has attracted considerable attention.

At that time, tenement buildings had not yet been fully implemented in major cities across China.

The dormitory layout plan posted by the repair shop is much better than the old-style tenement buildings.

In other words, you need to use the public restrooms between floors to use the restroom; otherwise, the buildings on the planning map would be too perfect.

This was naturally Wu Aiguo's deliberate act; everyone who understands knows.

If the workers' dormitories are built too perfectly, there will probably be no need for the workers after they are completed, just like the low-rent housing in later generations.

Not to mention the repair shop's internal staff, even the street office staff, and even Director Chen, came to take a look at the dormitory planning map after hearing the news.

"Isn't it a little too good?"

Director Chen said with no small amount of envy, "I'm envious when I see this!"

"Our own workers should naturally be given the best living conditions. Can the neighborhood committee raise funds to build dormitory buildings themselves?"

Following Wu Aiguo's instructions, Wu Zhi shrugged and replied, "The dormitory isn't very big; it's just right for a young couple to live there!"

Of course, that's what they say, but I guess when the time comes, it will be inevitable that the whole family will move over.

Then it's none of the factory management's business; it's impossible to raise welfare benefits indefinitely.

"forget it!"

Director Chen didn't respond to that question. If he really dared to do that, he'd probably be done with his position as director of the subdistrict office.

At this moment, Wu Aiguo was not at the store, nor was he holed up in the security department's large office; instead, he was in the repair shop's workshop.

He and several third-level skilled workers were tinkering with an incredibly old motorcycle engine.

He got this from the Gulou Police Station, and it was with the help of the station chief, Lao Li, who got it from the Dongcheng District Municipal Bureau.

Unfortunately, despite the booming business of the Gulou Repair Shop, their reports to the local taxi company about buying cars have gone unanswered.

Later, Director Chen gave the answer: There isn't a single car on the street yet, and the repair shop has only been open for a short time, so don't expect to get any new car quotas.
