Chapter 8 The Broken Dream (Part 2)

Liu Erxi's words may sound ridiculous in the ears of some people, and may be called "angry youth".

But Shi Shaoying nodded vigorously. In essence, he himself was actually a big angry young man, so when he was writing, the protagonist would always give speeches passionately, and was eventually hailed as the "slogan man".

Shi Shaoying raised the mineral water bottle in his hand and raised it slightly at Liu Erxi, "Thank you."

After taking a big sip of water in my throat, a happy laugh rose from the corner of Liu Erxi's mouth, "When I was twenty years old, a strange boy suddenly ran to me, holding a letter written by my aunt in his hand, telling me that he was my younger brother. It was not until then that I realized that before my father died, my mother was pregnant again, and he was a posthumous child. My family is so poor and my mother is in poor health. It is impossible for me to support two children at the same time, so I adopted my younger brother to my aunt. After my younger brother was eighteen years old,

According to the rules of the mountains, it is time to find a blind date. Now I want to get married, such as betrothal gifts, blind dates, drinks, gifts, and houses. There are a lot of messy things. Anyway, I have to ask for money, my aunt's family is poor, and I have two children. Finally, I pushed my brother to my side. Facing a younger brother who suddenly appeared, I was very surprised, but I was more happy. It turns out that in this world, I have a closest person. After being alone for so long, I have family again!"

Two older boys wandered together in the city to depend on each other. They had no skills and lacked education, so the job they could find would not be very good. Of course, life was very hard.

But for Liu Erxi, this was the happiest time in his life.

"We came to this city together. If we had to summarize, in the coastal cities of Shandong, there are many investors in South Korea and Taiwan, and there are many joint venture factories here. Most of the products will be exported to European countries. Just like the factory we entered, there are more than 30,000 employees, they are just manufacturing some plastic daily necessities and exporting them to the United States for orders."

"Those plastic products have no technical content. The reason why they can be exported to the United States is because China's manpower is quite cheap. The management of the factory is really smart and is good at leveraging loopholes in national policies. The state stipulates that overtime on weekends should be paid twice the salary, and overtime on statutory holidays should be paid three times the salary. However, our factory has set a "rest change" system. If I work overtime on weekends, I can choose a day off from Monday to Friday. In other words, even if I work overtime on weekends or on national statutory holidays, I will never get an extra penny. But everyone does this. Even if we are dissatisfied, our arms can't twist our thighs, just bear it. Think about the migrant workers who have been beaten in the news, we should really be content."

Shi Shaoying listened very seriously. He had never worked in a factory similar to this, nor had he ever been deducted from his salary. This was the first time he heard that some factory managers were using these methods to change concepts to reduce labor costs in the production process.

"Every region will announce the minimum living standards for residents based on the local economic conditions. According to national regulations, the per capita income in the region must not be lower than this standard. The factory management is very smart and smart. The wages they set will be 100% stuck to the minimum security standards."

Hearing this, Shi Shaoying shook his head. The factory management obviously changed the concept again.

Per capita income refers to the total income of a family, divided by all populations. For example, a family with five people, only two couples work, and the monthly income of two couples is 3,000 yuan. The total income of six thousand yuan is divided by five, and their per capita income is 1,200 yuan. In other words, the per capita income of this family is always much lower than the salary of two couples.

It would be better for those workers to have enough food and their whole family to be hungry. With the minimum income of a city, they can finally survive. If they still have family members to support them, their per capita income will be far lower than the standards announced by the government. This is called having policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

In this case, these workers want to support their wives, raise children, and save some money for emergency life-saving when they are sick. Their only way out is to work overtime desperately.

"Working eleven hours a day, I was so tired that I could fall asleep even when I stood there. We just worked hard to live. But with the arrival of the economic crisis, the factory received fewer orders, and we had fewer opportunities to work overtime. The worst thing is that, even though the economic crisis came, the prices around us rose. Considering the price factors, the government announced that the minimum living standard in our city was adjusted from 760 yuan to 830 yuan. When we heard this news, everyone in the factory was very happy, which means that we finally had to pay. In fact, if the salary did not increase, we really couldn't survive."

Seeing Liu Erxi slowly pinch the plastic bottle in his hand, Shi Shaoying could guess that the salary increase was just a beautiful soap bubble. Perhaps all the conflicts also came from this adjustment of the minimum living security standard.

The basic salary of each worker is raised by 70 yuan, which doesn't seem to be much, but the overtime pay for workers is based on the basic salary of the workers divided by the number obtained when they work normally. When the basic salary increases, the overtime pay will increase. Although each person will only get one or two hundred yuan in the end, for a factory with 30,000 employees, it will cost nearly six million more labor costs every month.

Although it is clear that the living standards of the workers under their jurisdiction are getting worse, those factory owners can definitely delay if they are delayed. After a year, they can save 70 million, and of course they will make money.

If they delayed their wages for a year or two and then adjusted their wages, the workers could make do with it, so they would just endure it. But now there is less overtime, less income, and more prices. As one goes up and down, some workers with family members can basically no longer survive.

"Everyone really couldn't hold on anymore. Later, someone planned to hold a general strike and asked the factory to give everyone a raise in accordance with the policy. Just two months ago, our factory was shut down and more than 4,000 people walked to the streets to protest. Faced with this scene, the boss Lu Youcai finally panicked. He sent people to do work everywhere to find the leaders of this strike and give them red envelopes. Among the workers, those with strong influence can get two or three thousand red envelopes, and those with weak influence but are also considered personalities can get five to one thousand red envelopes."

Speaking of this, Liu Erxi showed anger and disdain on his face, "Of course, this money is not for nothing. After taking this money, he must settle his salary immediately, then roll up the bedding and get out of the way. Their names will be put on the factory's blacklist and will never be hired again. But what can this happen? The most important thing in the Sanjiangzhou area of ​​the Zhujiang River is the factory. What's wrong with being able to get a windfall and then change a factory again? The economy is in a downturn and it's really not possible. Take this money and go back to my hometown first and wait for the economic crisis to pass before coming back. In this way, Boss Lu Youcai just stuffed red envelopes to more than 200 leaders, and easily 'suppressed' our strike."

Shi Shaoying whispered: "Didn't you get that red envelope?"

Liu Erxi is able to understand the "red envelope" incident so clearly, and she must be a member of the "staff".

Liu Erxi nodded, "They sent me a red envelope of 2,000 yuan, asking me to sign the agreement and declare that I voluntarily leave the factory. The two sides had no relationship anymore, and I did not agree. The reason why I stood up was to fight for the brothers and sisters in the factory as they deserved, rather than wanting others to buy me with a red envelope of 2,000 yuan, and then get out of here with a happy escape."

In the view of the factory management, people like Liu Erxi who do not even accept red envelopes and insist on refusing to give in is nothing more than a thorn and an obstacle to the factory's recovery of operations! Since most people have been solved, using red envelopes cannot impress Liu Erxi, and they will not eat toast and eat the fine. They spend some money to find a few people, rushed into Liu Erxi's home in the middle of the night, communicated with him with wooden sticks, and let him know how many eyes Ma has. The subsequent things become "natural".

A big boss with a net worth of over one billion and mixed connections in the local relationship network can be said to be a big boss who is both black and white. It is too easy to deal with a small thorn worker. Perhaps in his history of making a fortune, things like this are common.

What Lu Youcai didn't expect was that he would meet a tiger after going up the mountain for too many times. This time, he finally met a super thorn who dared to fight to the death for his younger brother!

Not everyone, when faced with power and violence, would lie down like a hen, wait for him to use money and thugs to favor; not everyone would forget the morality and conscience of being a person.

Although Liu Erxi's resistance this time was too expensive.

Shi Shaoying was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Your story is over. Do you want to hear my story before making my personal suggestions to you?"

Although it was unexpected, Liu Erxi still responded very simply: "I want to!"

"My father is a major general, and my wife's father is also a major general. We first met in the same young military academy. However, when I was fourteen, I was swept out of the school because I was too naughty, but my wife went all the way. Although I later entered the army, my position was always one level lower than her. When I was a captain, she was a major, and this gap would inevitably become more and more obvious in the future. Later, I fought with Indian special forces on the border and he pierced me through

I kicked the eunuch in my right hand, and in order to calm the situation, I was sent back to the mainland. In 2003, I happened to be dismissal and was thrown into the local reserve. A few days later, my colleagues joined forces to exclude me, and they fought and went to the hospital in one go! Anyway, after all, I took off my military uniform and became a promotional civilian. Fortunately, my future wife did not dislike me. I was twenty-nine years old, and when she was twenty-eight years old, we got married."

Liu Erxi said: "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"
