"Dad, are you going to Shencheng on the second day?"
"Yes."
"What about Mom?"
"We'll go together on the second day."
"It's too early."
"It's not early anymore."
Chen Houguang shook his head. "The food and beverage industry is like this. How can there be any rest?"
"You should go after the Lantern Festival."
"If you go after the Lantern Festival, our hotpot restaurant will close down."
Of course, this was an exaggeration.
Hotpot Beauty's various policies were relatively mature. Even if Chen Houguang did not go, the hotpot restaurant would operate as usual.
However, the competition for hotpot was also very fierce, especially since this year was a big year for Hotpot Beauty.
Chen Houguang and Zhang Wenxiu were working hard to develop the business this year.
"Dad, you should pay more attention. And Mom, don't be too tired."
"I'm not tired. Mom and Dad don't do physical work now. They just do management."
"No matter what, management is tiring. Besides, they have to go on business trips every day."
"I know. Actually, it's okay. If there's nothing to do, I don't know what to do. "
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family gathered together.
Because his parents were going to Shencheng on the second day of the Lunar New Year, a group of relatives came to Chen Yu's house in the afternoon.
"Brother, why don't you stay at Shin Fung for a few more days?"
"The hotpot restaurant in Shencheng is too busy. I have no choice."
"Are you going to open a branch?"
"There are plans today. We're opening a total of five branches."
After a round of fun, his aunt and the others left in the evening.
The next day, Chen Yu saw his parents off. Only Chen Yu was left at home.
Remembering that he had not been to the beverage factory for a while, Chen Yu wanted to go to the factory to check on the situation.
…
"Old Li, you're really coming."
"Why not? The factory director said three times the salary."
"Hahaha, didn't you say you didn't want three times the salary and wanted to spend the Lunar New Year at home?"
"I want to spend the Lunar New Year, but I have nothing to do at home anyway. After work during the day, I can go back at night. It's not easy to make money now. The factory director is so nice to us. Even if I have to work overtime, let alone three times the salary, I'll come. "
"Yes, the factory director is really nice to us."
At this time, several employees of the Duoyuan Beverage Factory who had arrived earlier were chatting for a while.
While they were chatting, Elder Li saw a young man who looked like a college student coming in.
"Hey, isn't that the big boss?"
"Who?"
"You guys don't know him. I joined the factory early and met the big boss once."
At this time, Chen Yu registered with the guard and entered the factory.
Glancing around, he saw many employees going in and out, busy with work.
"It can't be. Working during the New Year?"
Chen Yu thought that there were only some security guards on duty in the factory.
Unexpectedly, it seemed that she was still in labor today.
"Uncles, why are you still at work today? Isn't it the New Year?"
Seeing a few people chatting in front of him, Chen Yu walked over.
"Are you Boss Chen?"
Seeing Chen Yu walking towards him, Old Li asked excitedly.
"Uh, you recognize me?"
"Yes, yes. Didn't you come here last year when the factory was about to close down?"
"Oh, you came to the factory to ask for your salary back then?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Fortunately, Boss Chen came. Otherwise, not only would the factory go bankrupt, but we also wouldn't be able to pay our salaries."
Realizing that Chen Yu remembered him, Old Li replied excitedly.
"By the way, today is the second day of the New Year. Did the factory director ask you to work overtime?"
"No, no, no. The factory director didn't ask for it. We volunteered to work overtime."
"Volunteered to work overtime?"
Chen Yu was a little doubtful.
Who would volunteer to work overtime?
Not to mention the beverage factory, even in Huanyu Technologies, not many people were willing to work overtime during the New Year.
Of course, if you paid them enough, it would be a different story.
"Haha, Boss Chen, the factory director said that if you work overtime during the New Year, you will be paid three times the salary."
"Oh …"
Hearing this, Chen Yu understood.
"How is it? Is it good working in the factory?"
"Good, that's great."
Old Li smiled and said, "My children are all grown up. It's not convenient for me to go out of town. It's good to be able to work at home. Besides, the salary in the factory is not worse than other places. If possible, I want to work until I'm 80 years old. "
Last year when Old Li and the others worked in the factory, it was their happiest year.
Although it was tiring, they still made a lot of money.
Moreover, they made no less than those in the coastal areas.
Many people even made more than those in the coastal areas.
On the one hand, it was a blessing for the factory. On the other hand, their beverages were selling well all over the country.
As a matter of fact, because they were selling so well, there were many places where they were out of stock.
The factory had no choice but to tell everyone to work overtime.
But it was the New Year after all, and the factory did not have a rigid rule that they had to work overtime. However, as long as they worked overtime, they would be paid three times the salary, plus a bonus for the New Year.
The employees were very happy to have such benefits in a small place like Shin Fung.
"80 years old, hahaha, the factory doesn't want 80 years old."
Chen Yu laughed. "You can retire when you're 60 years old."
"Okay, listen to Boss Chen. We'll retire when we're 60 years old. Even if we can still work after that, I'll go outside and find some small work to do. "
"Don't look for it."
Chen Yu waved his hand. "Don't worry, the conditions in the factory are getting better and better. When the factory has enough funds, we'll buy pension insurance for everyone."
"Pension insurance … Boss Chen, really?"
Old Li said in disbelief.
They had worked all their lives, but they had never had pension insurance.
In their impression, only civil servants and white-collar workers in large enterprises had pension insurance. They were just ordinary workers. How could they have pension insurance?
"Of course it's true. In the future, not only will there be pension insurance, but also medical insurance for everyone. However, I'm sorry, the factory has only been established for a short time, and it's still in the process of development. We need money in all aspects. We can't give everyone so many benefits at once, so we can only do it one by one. But I promise you, these benefits will definitely be available in the future. "
Chen Yu naturally knew that the conditions of these employees weren't very good.
Shin Fung was just a small county. Many of the workers here came from the countryside.
Many of the workers still had to work after they were 60 years old. It wasn't that they didn't want to retire, but that their conditions weren't good. They could only think that if they could still work, then they would continue to work for a while.
Especially those who had a few boys in their families who were getting married, and the betrothal gifts in Gannan were very expensive. They could only grit their teeth and endure.
It was really hard to live and work until old.
Chen Yu couldn't change the current situation. Chen Yu also couldn't change the fate of all the workers in the country.
But since they came to work in his factory, he had to be responsible for these people no matter what.
Even if he didn't make all of them rich, at least they wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing.
"Thank you Boss Chen, thank you, thank you, Boss Chen …"
"I thank Boss Chen on behalf of everyone in the factory."
Old Li kept thanking him. He swore in his heart that he would give himself to the factory for the rest of his life.
