Chapter 233 Chang Hongjun is at a loss, and the unplanned supplies are gone
Xu Damao looked puzzled. He said, "I've been busy creating humans and working on the moon and Madagascar these days. Who the hell cares about your welfare?"
"Chang Hongjun, stop making such a fuss. Are you embarrassed?"
"I don't have the time for that."
Xu Damao didn't say anything polite to him and just cursed back.
You scumbag, do you really need me to use the card welfare trick to deal with you?
Just you and your nephew, you can kill yourselves!
If Xu Damao took action, he would be criticized instead, so there was no need for that.
He currently doesn't care about what's going on at the speaker factory, but Guangqi, Qin Huairu, and the Lou family will report the real-time situation to him.
"Then I went to the logistics department to ask for this month's benefits, why did they say there were none left?" Chang Hongjun kept shouting, and Xu Damao also looked puzzled.
In the end, the two of them went directly to Li Huaide and found out the whole story.
"Director Chang, the speaker factory is a subsidiary of the steel mill. The wages and worker benefits are on par with those of the steel mill. The overtime benefits and piecework bonuses you mentioned are all special unplanned subsidies granted by the higher authorities when Comrade Xu Damao was the deputy director of the speaker factory."
"Comrade Xu Damao got the materials himself. A separate allocation was made from above, and Comrade Xu Damao also paid part of it out of his own pocket."
"Now that he has stepped down, you will have to find the unplanned materials yourself, Director Chang. You can ask for funding, there shouldn't be any problems in this regard."
"But we can't do anything about the unplanned materials. Comrade Xu Damao has neither the responsibility nor the right to do so now."
Li Huaide took out the document and showed it to Chang Hongjun, then spoke slowly.
That is indeed the case. The factory director is paid by his superiors to find benefits himself. Xu Damao is not even in the speaker factory now, and you are still trying to get benefits for him. Doesn't that make sense?
"But...but all the unplanned material benefits before were paid by you, Director Li. Why are they gone now?"
"You have..."
Chang Hongjun was embarrassed. Everyone knew that the benefits of the speaker factory were among the best in the city. As long as you were willing to work overtime, you could have fish, meat, kelp and fruit at home. But he had just taken office for a few days and all these were gone. The benefits were the same as those of the steel mill, which were only available at the end of the year, but before that, the speaker factory had them every month.
If the workers knew this, they would definitely rebel!
Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "Director Chang, please don't talk nonsense. The materials in my hands are to be distributed to the major factories in the city. The allocations have been determined long ago and cannot be changed."
"Besides, I am the logistics director of the steel mill. I have to treat everyone equally. I can't just give everything to your speaker factory and not to the steel mill."
"If you have any objections, you can appeal to the higher authorities. Anyway, the money is allocated separately by the higher authorities and will not be charged to our logistics department. This matter has nothing to do with the logistics department of our steel mill."
"I can't help you."
Chang Hongjun's face turned green. What's the use of asking for money? Even if he has money, he can't get unplanned materials now!
So he looked at Xu Damao very awkwardly.
"Chief Xu..."
He didn't want to beg Xu Damao, but now he had no choice but to bow his head.
Xu Damao also shook his head: "Don't look for me. I'm a movie projector in the publicity department. I have no time to get so many unplanned materials for you. It's not right to tell others about it."
"All material channels have long been handed over to Director Li, and Director Li's quota has long been divided up among the factories. What can I do?"
Yes, you are so capable, what do you think of the purchasing department?
It is common sense not to meddle in matters that are not your responsibility.
"You guys—Okay! I'll find it myself!"
There was no point in talking to each other, and Chang Hongjun returned empty-handed in the end. He also realized that Li Huaide and Xu Damao would never help him.
After all, you've already forced people away, and now you still want them to get supplies for you?
Besides, the higher-ups have agreed to allocate funds specifically for you. If you can't get it, it's your personal ability. In the first place, why was it possible for Xu Damao to do it when he was in office, but you, Chang Hongjun, can't?
Isn’t this just a question of ability?
Xu Damao and Li Huaide smiled at each other. This was not really a scheme set up by the two of them, but a real official business. When the senior leaders came, they all had something to say.
If you can't even solve this problem, what kind of factory manager are you? Go home and drink milk as soon as possible.
"Da Mao, let's not talk about that fun-killing guy. By the way, can you give us some more supplies?" Li Huaide said to Xu Damao with a smile.
Xu Damao shook his head and said, "I would like to add more, but the Lou family only has a few broken boats, and this is the limit we have now." It is absolutely impossible to add more. Everyone can accept the current number if it is announced, but if you want 20,000 kilograms a day, that is not something that a few fishing boats can do, and it will arouse suspicion and inspection from above.
Now it’s neither too much nor too little, just right.
1 jin of fish is 5000 kg. If we calculate based on the weight of a bottle of mineral water (550 ml), an empty bottle (18 g), and 12 bottles (plastic sealed packaging), let's say it's about 14 jin (6.8 kg), which is 714 bottles of mineral water. Add the dried fish and other dry goods, and a truck can carry them all. So for a big company like Loubancheng, which owns several restaurants, sending a truck back and forth to deliver goods every day is not a big deal and does not attract attention.
But if you drive two or three cars a day...
That would be a bit much.
"What's wrong? Are supplies so tight now?" Xu Damao was also a little confused.
Li Huaide frowned and nodded: "It can be said that the situation is very tense, and there is a severe drought in several surrounding provinces. Now those who are fleeing famine are flocking to Sijiu City."
"Don't even mention fish, meat, or dried fish. Even staple food is in short supply now. We have already started using military supplies. There is no fresh pork or anything like that."
"You don't know that the most valuable thing is not the fish and meat provided by your father-in-law, but the fruit."
"There are only average-quality apples and pears on the market in Sijiu City right now. The fruits provided by your father-in-law have been sold at sky-high prices!"
"There is also a black market in Pigeon Market. Many workers bring fruits, fish, meat and kelp to exchange for corn flour. One apple can be exchanged for 5 kilograms of corn flour."
"So you have no idea how valuable a workstation in a speaker factory is now. Before the Great Leap Forward, there was no shortage of materials. A workstation in a steel rolling mill was worth 300-500 yuan. This year, it's 600-800 yuan. Now, a workstation in a speaker factory is worth 1000-1300 yuan!"
Xu Damao was shocked. So exaggerated?!
Li Huaide chuckled: "Now you understand how anxious Chang Hongjun is, right? He wants to work overtime and be paid by piece. That's no problem. The speaker factory has good benefits. If one person works in the factory, the whole family will not starve."
"But the promised benefits were not delivered, and the workers at the speaker factory were not so easy to talk to. There were quite a few second-generation workers there."
"I was only able to control them when you were here. I couldn't do anything to them, whether it was force or welfare. Now that I've been transferred to be the deputy director of the speaker factory, I have less worries. At least they don't blame me when something goes wrong."
"And if you leave, Chang Hongjun will be dead or dead!"
Xu Damao was also happy. He had not cared about this matter before, but he did not expect that it would become Chang Hongjun's death warrant now. So he just had to continue watching the show.
On the one hand, he wanted to show how he improved the process, on the other hand, he wanted to come up with new products, and he also had to solve the problem of employee welfare. Then there was the three-year natural disaster. It would be a miracle if Chang Hongjun, who had high expectations but poor skills, could produce qualified products!
Li Huaide continued chatting with Xu Damao: "Da Mao, the higher-ups have issued new regulations. As long as we can get unplanned materials, we don't care where they come from! We can settle the bill at twice the price set by the Material Bureau. The higher-ups are really willing to take risks!"
"How about we get some more?"
