The headquarters of Xifeng Company now covers an area of ​​1,200 mu, of which 200 mu are still empty. These 200 mu are used for new factory building, but the domestic economy is in a downturn and production cannot be expanded blindly, so the new factory construction plan will be shelved.

Song Weiyang was walking around the factory in a car, and Yang Dexi, director of the company headquarters office, accompanied him throughout the journey.

Yang Dexi's ability is relatively mediocre, but he is a veteran of the company and has always lived a comfortable life. It doesn't matter whether he is mediocre, but it's enough to be sincere. Adding a little peasant-like cunning, the position of director of the general office is still very suitable for him. His responsibilities include: external reception work, internal meeting work, office supplies management, company seal management, company vehicle arrangements, etc., which are all trivial and necessary things.

"Old Yang, after surviving these two difficult periods, I will make an adjustment to the company's structure and equity," Song Weiyang said while painting a big cake, "Do it well, you can also get shares at that time."

Shares?

Yang Dexi's heart beat wildly and immediately expressed his loyalty: "Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job as the general manager of the house!"

Song Weiyang suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Hey, has the newly built football stadium been there?"

Yang Dexi explained: "Our Xifeng football team scored in A-League last year, and the whole factory was very happy. In the past, many of them liked playing basketball and table tennis have changed their practice of football. Whenever they have time, they call friends to kick a few times. The land was originally planned to build a new factory, but later it was put on hold, so Mr. Yang simply let someone flatten the football field."

"Old Yang is a little stingy. There is not even a lawn in this football field. It will be painful to fall if you fall." Song Weiyang said with a smile.

"Everyone is interested in what lawn you want," said Yang Dexi. "The goal is set up on both sides, and there are many people playing. Not long ago, on New Year's Day, the company also organized an employee football match. It was as lively as the New Year, and even nearby farmers came to watch the game. Originally, the company only set a piece of land to make a football field, which was not enough. The employees filled out another piece by themselves, and if there was no goal, they piled up stones as goals. Anyway, those fields were empty."

Song Weiyang nodded and said, "Yes, the atmosphere in the company is very lively."

Xifeng Company is really conscientious. Although the salary is much lower than that of state-owned enterprises, it never defaults. When busy, workshop workers strictly implement a two-shift system, that is, one person works 12 hours a day.

I work 12 hours a day and have no overtime salary yet. Is this a sweatshop?

Not.

Workers are actually very willing because they have performance bonuses, and they do more and earn more, and they are eager to work overtime every day.

The workers in Xifeng headquarters factory are laid off workers in state-owned enterprises, and two-thirds come from nearby farmers (especially farmers who have been built and occupied land for demolition). They have very low requirements for work benefits, can pay wages on time, and if they do too much, they will get bonuses, which is enough to be happy.

A few years ago, the laid-off workers who had just been recruited were cheating and gathering to make trouble because they had not figured out the situation yet. Now no one is willing to make trouble. Just keep the job, and they have to endure it even lower their wages by one third.

Let me put it this way, if laid-off workers or farmers do not join Xifeng Company, they can only choose to work in coastal areas.

There are two types of people working on the coast:

First, when entering the construction site, mud and water technicians are tired from death when they are exposed to the sun and rain. The monthly salary is only 600 or 700 yuan, and they are often owed. Even the contractors run away with money. As for small workers without skills, they are even worse. They are also tired from death. They can get 500 yuan a month and it will be too high.

Second, I work as an assembly line worker in the factory. The coastal area is really a bad-hearted factory. It has a monthly salary of 500 yuan, including food and accommodation, rice is brown rice, and vegetables are clean water and cabbage. It is impossible to see oil and fishy. Working for more than ten hours a day, a strong man can become malnourished.

For the above two tasks, you have to pay for a temporary residence permit.

This thing is not expensive, it can be done for one or two hundred yuan. But the workers are reluctant to spend money. The factory is fine. The construction site is settled according to the construction period or the end of the year, and your food expenses will be deducted by the way. The workers have no money for most of the year, and more than 100 yuan is a huge sum of money for them.

I finally had a two-day rest and went out to buy something. If I encountered someone who checked the temporary residence permit, I would arrest you on the street and let relatives and friends take money to get people. If I can't get the money, I will be taken into shelter. The deportation of the original place is also subject to conditions. I will throw you to work in the black construction site for a few months and make the repatriation fee sufficient.

Compared to working in the coastal areas, working in the local Xifeng Company for 12 hours a day and getting a salary on time is equivalent to living in heaven.

In the 1990s, farmers wanted to have factories near their homes. No matter how serious the pollution was, they all recognized that Rong Ping's average salary was about 500 yuan at this time, and they were given 300 yuan a month, and they were all happy.

"Pass, pass quickly!"

"Oh, your son is so stinky!"

"Mom, you want to score an own goal!"

“…”

The football stadium is very lively, and those who play football and watch football are basically laid-off workers from the previous state-owned enterprises. Winter is the off-season for beverage production and sales. They have more free time, so they naturally start various entertainment activities.

As for employees who are farmers, they don’t have that leisure time and will go home to do farm work after a while.

"Pan Qiang, Pan Qiang is here!"

"Brother Pan, come and help."

"No, if Brother Pan ends up, others will be kicking me!"

“…”

The football staff suddenly stopped, surrounded by a young man, and even took off his clothes and asked for his signature.

Song Weiyang asked: "Who is this Pan Qiang?"

Yang De smiled happily: "The football player from the Municipal Sports School was a substitute for the Xifeng team. He only played three games in total last year. But he is our Rongping City, the only player who stayed in the team, and other local veterans have been dismissed. He has been playing football in the factory these two days, and probably he will go home for the New Year to rest."

"A substitute player is so popular?" Song Weiyang felt a little strange.

"Our Xifeng team is about to play A-League. Substitutes are also A-League players. In small places like ours, they are superstars." Yang Dexi said.

Xifeng Football Team ranked fourth in the A-B League last year, and the same points as the fifth place, and it was promoted to the A-A by relying on the number of goals that were better than the goal. It was extremely dangerous. Moreover, senior fans said that Xifeng Team had good luck and actually encountered the expansion of the A-A League. In the past, the top two A-B were required to be promoted, and the top four last year could all advance.

When the news of the promotion was heard back, not only the fans of Rongping City were excited, but even the cities and counties next door were full of joy and regarded the Xifeng Team as their soldiers.

The provincial sports newspapers also take the opportunity to hype up the same-provincial derby. We look forward to the Xifeng team being able to have a big fight with the Quanxing team in the new season.

The car drove slowly through the factory area. Song Weiyang saw a lot of people squatting at the back door, and gathered together to play cards and chat.

"What are these people doing?" Song Weiyang asked.

Yang Dexi explained: "We are all working odd jobs for Xifeng Company. In the past, most of the nearby farmers were present, but now there are many laid-off workers."

Song Weiyang said: "There are no odd jobs in the company for them, right?"

"There are some work during the peak production and sales of canned and beverages. For example, if the assembly line is too busy, I will hire temporary workers to manually peel fruits, or ask them to pack and transport them," said Yang Dexi. "It is the off-season now, and these people may not have any work to do all day. But they are fine at home, so it's better to stay with Xifeng to try their luck. They can also pass the time while waiting for work to do poker."

It was almost noon, and several Xifeng workers who were playing football went home for dinner. When they walked out of the back door, they were arrogant in front of the people waiting for work, and those people looked at the workers with envy.
