In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 291 Heading to the Equipment Factory to Recruit People

After signing the contract, Yu Dawei went with Xiaobai to the Eighth Bureau Machinery Equipment Factory in the oil city.

Normally, this matter would require coordination with the city's project manager. However, the situation in the oil city is somewhat special, as the city's project manager is also Chang Bin, who is also the head of the Northeast region.

Another point is that the equipment factory in the oil city has a factory manager position, so the person who should really be in contact with Yu Dawei is Xiaobai.

When the two arrived at the equipment factory again, they were momentarily dazed when the black Volkswagen pulled up at the entrance.

In just one year, the Future Equipment Factory will cease to exist. Xiaobai said that equipment factories in other cities have more employees, and the personnel arrangements will be more complicated.

The structure in the oil city was relatively simple. There was only one captain, who was a junior manager. There was no one above him before he arrived.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Bai turned to look at Yu Dawei and said with a wry smile, "I haven't told them about the equipment factory yet. It's good that you're here; at least you can cover for me when I tell them. By the way, do you want a chef?"

"Stop, brother, our factory doesn't hire cooks. We all cook for ourselves on a shift system. After all, a good cook who can't cook isn't a good repairman." Yu Dawei leaned back in his chair and gave a casual reply. Deep down, he harbored a resistance to the past.

noob:"……"

I couldn't understand any logic in his two sentences at all.

Yu Dawei then got out of the car and helped Xiaobai open the factory gate. He watched Xiaobai drive the car in and then glanced back at the huge equipment factory.

All nine pieces of construction machinery are now neatly parked in the distance, as there are currently no maintenance tasks on them. The second team, responsible for repairing construction machinery, is nowhere to be seen in the factory.

The two then went into Xiaobai's office, where Yu Dawei sat in the tea room and started brewing tea himself.

There was a set of radiators in each of the two rooms inside and outside the office. It wasn't as cold as I had imagined. However, perhaps the person who was running the heating was being lazy, because when Yu Dawei reached out and touched the radiator, he didn't feel any warmth at all.

Xiao Bai had already gone out first, intending to call everyone in the factory to his office and then explain the future of the equipment factory to everyone in front of them.

Moreover, with Yu Dawei around, no one would have to worry about losing their job. On the way, he had already made Yu Dawei repeatedly promise that if anyone was willing to work at his repair shop, they should be treated well and their wages should not be too low.

Not long after, the five members of the second team arrived at the office one after another, along with the young chef who had come last year.

Yu Dawei took a couple of sips of tea in the tea room before opening the door to the outer room. He found that the five members of the second squad were in low spirits.

They probably received some rumors and felt helpless. In fact, layoffs in state-owned enterprises will become more common in the future.

The most stable jobs in the oil city are those of the oilfield workers. Later, many children of oilfield workers tried their best to get jobs at the oilfield company, but what happened in the end?
First of all, the contract changed. It seems that it was the year Yu Dawei returned from Hohhot that his father, through some connections, planned to arrange for him to work in the oil field.

However, he joined the first batch of contract employees. Unlike the previous permanent employees, many people were pessimistic about the contract employee system at the time, so Yu Dawei stubbornly refused to become a contract employee.

However, from his perspective as someone from the future, he now sees that being a contract worker in an oil field is actually quite good. It's just a different name than being a permanent employee; in essence, it's still a secure job.

Of course, this is just talking about oilfield companies. Once you get in, you can work there for a long time, but your pension might not be as high as those who are employed under the government system.

However, in the future, it will be very popular.

In the same era, many state-owned enterprises began to lay off employees. Not to mention the distant ones, Yu Dawei guessed that the grain depot in their Luhe Town was already showing some signs of this.

Of course, this process will take several years from top to bottom.

However, the Eighth Bureau's approach to layoffs was a bit too ahead of its time.

Therefore, Yu Dawei greatly admires Luo Changqing and the big boss. One of them has vision, and the other has strategy. Luo Changqing may be slightly inferior to the big boss, but he has already demonstrated terrifying abilities.

"The reason I called everyone here today is because there's a message from above that I need to convey." Xiao Bai's tone was unusually low. He then briefly explained the personnel arrangements at the equipment factory to everyone.

Yu Dawei took a chair and sat down next to Xiaobai. You could feel the particularly oppressive atmosphere in the room.

Fortunately, after Xiaobai finished explaining, he quickly steered the conversation to Yu Dawei. "Actually, there's something else. Master Yu's repair shop is currently short-staffed. Our former captain, Ji Youde, is currently working at Master Yu's repair shop." Xiaobai smiled at the five people in the second team. "If you don't mind that it's too far from home, you can consider going to Master Yu's shop."

"As for salary and benefits..." Xiaobai turned to look at Yu Dawei. She had said what she needed to say, and left the rest to him.

"Well, guys, I just happened to come here today and heard about this. Here's what they say." Yu Dawei started racking his brains, earnestly comforting them: "There's a saying, 'Good fortune may be a blessing in disguise, and misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.' Even if you're not working here anymore, or you don't want to go to my place, don't be sad. We're skilled workers; we can still make a living anywhere!"

Yu Dawei didn't introduce the situation in his factory at first; instead, he first comforted Xiaobai and his brothers.

He knew Xiaobai's thoughts to some extent; she hadn't said anything comforting just now because she was waiting to gain his favor.

All I can say is that Bai Zhongsheng truly deserves his reputation for chivalry and courage; well done, brother.

After hearing Yu Dawei's words, the eyes of the men in the second team lit up again. In fact, what Master Yu said was right. They were not just anyone; they were repairmen with skills. Why would they be afraid of starving to death?
Seeing that everyone's mood had been raised, Yu Dawei then introduced his repair shop: "My repair shop is located in Luhe Town, Qing County, Sui City. The shop covers an area of ​​about four and a half acres. Anyway, no matter how you want to fix something, you can handle it."

“Currently, the only official maintenance personnel in the factory is your team leader, Ji Youde. Last winter, I was involved in a field rescue operation, so if I get busy later, I might not be able to take care of things at the factory.” Yu Dawei rested his arms on his legs. “So, in the future, you will probably have to follow the team leader’s arrangements for many things.”

Upon hearing this, the five people immediately felt a sense of warmth, because their former "leader" was also present, and according to Master Yu, the factory's management issues would likely be handled by the team leader from now on.

Their second squad was also promoted by the battalion commander. Although the battalion commander resigned, the feelings they had for each other remained.

None of the group had any grudges against the captain, and at almost the same time, all five members of the second squad were tempted.

It's just too far. Three of the five of them are locals from the oil city. The thought of leaving the oil city and going to some run-down town is just depressing.

"Now that I've finished explaining the situation at the factory, let's talk about wages. My salary system is different from the equipment factory's; it's a base salary plus performance-based pay." Yu Dawei guessed that most people probably hadn't heard of what "performance-based pay" was.

So he took the initiative to explain: "You can think of it as the more you do, the more you earn. The base salary is a fixed 800 yuan per month, and the so-called performance part refers to the bonus. At the end of each year, we will give you an extra year-end bonus based on how many cars you repair."

"The commission is 3% of the net profit of all vehicles repaired by the individual at the end of the year. The fixed salary will also be adjusted and increased appropriately according to the annual increase in the factory's revenue." Yu Dawei knew all too well that with severe inflation in the future, he couldn't live on 800 yuan a lifetime.

A slight increase in base salary every year is necessary.

Upon hearing this, several local repairmen who were still hesitant immediately abandoned their previous ideas. Now, all they could think about was money. They said that there had never been a commission or performance-based bonus in car repair.

Does that mean that the more cars I repair in the future, the more likely I am to earn a year-end bonus that rivals my regular salary?!
Even without a year-end bonus, 800 yuan a month is already much better than the 500 yuan a month that the equipment factory makes.

Actually, the group wasn't clinging to the equipment factory, nor did they have any particular feelings for it. It was just that the work at the equipment factory was easy and stable, and they could also earn some extra money on the side.

Although it involved some risks, the returns were ultimately quite good.

But all of this combined still doesn't earn as much as what Master Yu would have earned.

Several people then turned their attention to the squad leader of the second squad, wanting to see what their squad leader had to say.

Taozi, the squad leader of the second squad, had a good relationship with the previous captain and also deeply admired Master Yu, who was several years younger than him.

So he felt it was a great opportunity to work with these two people.

Furthermore, he is not a local of Youcheng; his hometown is Lanxi County, which is not far from Qing County. Luhe Town is also close to his hometown, and the money he is offered is more. In fact, he won't have to secretly earn extra money in the future.

why not?

"I have no problem with that. If Master Yu doesn't mind, I'll follow you from now on!" Taozi smiled. For him, it was indeed a turning point.

Although I may have lost my secure job, at least I've secured a high-paying position.
