Jiang Cheng, who had just driven out of the factory, suddenly received a call from Qi Qiaotong on the way from the office landline. He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Why did she call him again not long after he left?
"Hello, what's the matter?"
"Jiang Cheng, I have a suggestion for you. I hope you won't be angry." Qi Qiaotong's lips wriggled a little. It seemed that it took her a lot of courage to say these words.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Qi Qiaotong took a deep breath and said clearly, "I want to lay off the staff!"
Jiang Cheng, who was driving, heard Qi Qiaotong's words. He was so scared that his hands trembled and he almost couldn't hold the steering wheel.
Jiang Cheng stepped on the brake and parked the car on the roadside. He held the phone and asked, "What did you say? Lay off the staff? Why do you want to lay off the staff all of a sudden? Doesn't the factory make a profit? "
Qi Qiaotong said, "I'm the factory director. I have to consider the production tasks and interests of the factory. There are too many old employees who are over the retirement age in our factory. We have to lay off some of them. If we don't do this, it will be very bad for the future of our factory. Do you know that the aging of our factory is the most serious in the whole Jiangnan City?"
"But, but if we lay them all off, then it will be a big expense for us to bear so much pension!" Jiang Cheng said.
Qi Qiaotong smiled and said, "Jiang Cheng, have you forgotten? We are a private enterprise, not a state-owned enterprise. We are a pure private enterprise. These old employees don't have social insurance. We are not responsible for their pension. Jiang Cheng, the market is the law of the jungle. As a capitalist, you have done your social responsibility. Your contribution is huge, but it doesn't mean that you have to support these old people who should retire! "
Jiang Cheng was silent. Qi Qiaotong's words had pierced his heart. In his heart, he had already considered Qi Qiaotong's words, but he could only think about it in his heart. He didn't dare to say it out loud.
Let's not talk about what his uncles and senior employees would think of him. If he dared to mention in front of them that he wanted to lay off his senior employees, his parents would definitely fight him to the death.
The winery was where they used to work and fight. Although they were laid off due to the reform of renting houses, the older generation still had feelings for the place where they fought when they were young.
"I'll think about it and call you when the time comes!" Jiang Cheng decisively hung up the phone. He didn't know how to answer this question. He had to think about it carefully.
To be honest, the winery hadn't made much profit for him. Now he hadn't even recovered his capital. He had invested hundreds of millions, but there was no return. Just when he had made some profit, it was immediately ruined by a natural disaster.
Qi Qiaotong listened to the busy tone coming from the phone. She didn't know what to do and put down the phone in her hand. She knew that her suggestion made it very difficult for Jiang Cheng. From Jiang Cheng's attitude towards the old employees in the factory, Qi Qiaotong could see that Jiang Cheng had deep feelings for them.
Of course, Qi Qiaotong didn't have the heart to ask a boss like him to lay off those old employees who had contributed to the factory.
However, their contributions didn't bring any tangible benefits to Jiang Cheng. It had only been a few days since Jiang Cheng bought the factory. Those old employees were the legacy of history. Because he couldn't find anyone to work for him, Jiang Cheng had to continue using these old employees. But now that the factory was on the right track, these old employees should also retire.
These old employees were always lazy when they went to work. Many of them were neglecting their work because they were Jiang Cheng's elders. As a result, the whole factory's working attitude was abnormal.
Take this heavy rain as an example. More than 200 people hid at home and called them to come and unload the goods, but no one came. This made Qi Qiaotong very angry. If there were more than 100 people, at least they could rescue ordinary raw materials. However, except for these people on duty, no one came to the factory to work overtime.
Qi Qiaotong couldn't help but make up her mind. She was the factory's director, and she had to think about the factory's future. The replacement of the employees must be completed as soon as possible. The factory must need new blood. An enterprise that didn't change was definitely not a good enterprise, nor was it a profitable enterprise. Only by implementing the mode of competition among the employees and using the method of private enterprises could the employees improve their work enthusiasm.
Make a work plan, set a work goal, carry out a major change of the employees, and make the factory alive. Only in this way could the factory become a competitive factory in the market.
Thinking of this, Qi Qiaotong became more determined. Things that Jiang Cheng couldn't make up his mind, she could. She would bear the crime that Jiang Cheng couldn't bear.
Qi Qiaotong was a Sagittarius, and her style was swift and decisive. Since she had made a plan, she immediately began to carry it out. She called her secretary and said to her, "Go and call me the director of the administrative department."
The secretary was a student recruited by Qi Qiaotong from the university in the provincial capital. She was very capable. She was used to working with Qi Qiaotong, so her style of work was also swift and decisive.
She immediately went to call the director of the administrative department. The director was called Gao Xuezhen, 50 years old this year. He was an old employee of the factory. Before the factory was acquired, he was the director of the administrative department of the factory, in charge of personnel and administrative work.
Hearing the secretary say that the factory director was looking for him, Gao Xuezhen came to the factory director's office and pushed the door open.
This was a habit left by the older generation. They didn't knock on the door when entering the factory director's office. Because they were all from the same place, they often saw each other, so everyone was used to it and entered the factory director's office very casually.
Qi Qiaotong was looking at the list of employees in the factory in the office. After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she raised her head and saw that it was Gao Xuezhen. Qi Qiaotong smiled and said to Gao Xuezhen, "Director Gao, you're here. Please sit down."
Gao Xuezhen sat on the chair in front of Qi Qiaotong's desk and said with a smile, "Factory director, the secretary said you were looking for me?"
"Yes, it's like this, Supervisor Gao. You know what happened in the factory recently. As the director of our factory, I have to be responsible for our factory. Now that the factory has some financial difficulties, I'm going to make a layoff in the factory." Qi Qiaotong said as she flipped through the name list without changing her expression.
Gao Xuezhen, who was listening carefully to Qi Qiaotong, nodded and said, "Oh, layoffs!"
But soon, Gao Xuezhen reacted. He stared at her with a surprised expression and said, "Ah? Layoffs? What did you say, factory director? "
Qi Qiaotong nodded with a serious expression and said, "Yes, layoffs. I plan to lay off all the employees over the age of 55 in our factory. Except for those researchers, all the ordinary people will be laid off."
Gao Xuezhen stood up from the chair and asked doubtfully, "Factory director, you can't do this. These old employees are the treasures of our factory. They are the spiritual power of our factory. With them, our factory can only move forward smoothly!"
Qi Qiaotong argued, "What spiritual power? They are the biggest burden of our factory now. Director Gao, haven't you noticed? Let's not talk about anything else. Let's take what happened a few days ago as an example. That day, the wheat hadn't arrived, so everyone was resting at home and waiting for the raw materials to arrive before starting work.
But what happened when the raw materials arrived? They said that it was raining heavily and they couldn't go out. Although it was raining heavily at that time, it wasn't to the stage where they couldn't go out, right? They didn't live far from here. Even if they were far away, at such a critical moment, how could they not come to the factory to help? If they had come, we could have saved at least half of the losses!
And those young employees are now learning from them. These old employees are lazy and don't work, so they also learn to be lazy and don't work. You tell me, as the factory director, what should I do? I am the factory director, and I have to be responsible for the whole factory. I have to be responsible for those employees who work hard, instead of paying them wages.
This time, the loss has a great impact on the factory. We can't start work for at least a week. Instead of using their wages to feed so many idle people, why don't I use their wages to recruit some useful young people from society?
Now that the employment situation is so difficult, the welfare in our factory is so good, and the wages are more than 20% higher than other factories. This is because we have a boss, Jiang Cheng, who is the younger generation of these old people. He doesn't want to lay off these old employees, but I am not. I am the factory director. For the factory, for my boss, I have to lay off these employees! "
After listening to Qi Qiaotong's words, Gao Xuezhen was silent. Qi Qiaotong's words touched his heart. He had been working in the factory for decades, and he knew the employees in the factory very well.
Gao Xuezhen had to admit that what Qi Qiaotong said was basically right. Since the factory was reorganized and acquired, these old employees had indeed become lazy. Not only did they not feel grateful to Jiang Cheng, but they were also greedy for the small advantages of the factory. They often brought the finished products out of the factory, which brought huge economic losses to the factory.
Moreover, they ate and drank in the cafeteria. Because the cafeteria provided free meals, many employees brought their children to the cafeteria to freeload. This was particularly prominent.
The little boss of the cafeteria, Zhu Xiaoqiang, had mentioned this to Gao Xuezhen more than once, but Gao Xuezhen didn't come out to stop him because of these old employees.
