Chapter 274 The future of Red Maple Factory


Chapter 274 The future of Red Maple Factory

Seldy Stock's intuition told him that this was a major event involving the future of the entire factory. Although he has never been regarded as an outsider by everyone, and has even been used as an accountant by everyone, he still feels that it is better for him to remain silent as much as possible on this issue.

That's why he let Aunt Maggie talk.

It turns out that this is indeed a very sensitive issue. It is understandable for him, an outsider, to avoid suspicion. Everyone was silent, but they all looked at Yu Lian, who should also be an "outsider".

The latter is already very accustomed to this scene. He pondered for a moment, but answered the question in a different way: "Miss McGee, there are 200,000 people in Changzi City, and your accounting department only has 17 or 18 people. Can it be busy?"

Aunt Maggie, who is dark and fat, is divorced and is very satisfied with Yu Lian calling her "Miss" instead of "Auntie", "Auntie", "Madam" and so on. Although she didn't quite understand why the other party asked, she still said: "How busy can we be! Let's count the goods sent by everyone and distribute them according to everyone's position and needs. If we wait until wages start to be paid in the future, we will Will it be easier? Anyway, there is a system for how much everyone wants. With the help of computers, we will do the review..."

Speaking of this, Aunt Maggie felt as if she had discovered Hua Dian, and she suddenly showed a puzzled look.

"Isn't that what accounting is like? But my previous boss had to support so many accountants, all of whom seemed to be very knowledgeable gentlemen. They had to live in a separate dome villa area, eat meals cooked in a small kitchen, and use the latest technology. The instrument, Tiantian... I really don’t understand it!”

Aunt Maggie really put forward her thoughts in a simple way of thinking. Yu Lian knew that the other party's thoughts were actually a bit simple, but for a moment he felt that the other party made sense.

Yu Lian decided to ignore this problem for the time being and said: "At present, this deposit may be the first deposit received by the factory in a long time, so it should be retained as a reserve amount for the time being. As for everyone in the factory, you can According to everyone’s position, length of service and previous salary system, some temporary bills will be issued to receive daily necessities and food. Of course, these are all temporary. ”

"Can't we just follow the previous method and distribute it through the Workers' Self-Government Association?" Busca didn't quite understand and subconsciously looked at his friend Babaru. He is also the chairman of the Workers' Autonomous Committee. Once changes occur, he will be the most affected.

However, after Babalu pondered for a moment, he shook his head: "That was before."

Busca was still a little confused, and the latter continued: "Maybe our reputation can last for a while. But as time goes by, everyone will hate me...and this is really not a long-term solution. Captain's The opinion is correct. Everyone must take action and make it clear to everyone. The temporary bill is just an interim payment and we will definitely repay everyone’s wages when we reach a long-term cooperation with New Sevilla.”


Yu Lian looked at the young worker leader and gave him a like.

There was nothing in the Red Maple Factory before, so everyone could share the joys and sorrows together, but now that there is something, that's a different story. Forcing everyone to pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait for the unified government to allocate supplies is neither realistic nor humane.

The concept of not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality is very simple to say, but when a person sits in this position and holds power, his mind is often not so clear.

There is no way, since it cannot be allocated on demand. Then it can only be distributed according to work.

In this matter, Babalu made the right decision. If it's because he figured this out, Yu Lian's trust in him will rise to a new level; if it's because of his character, besides trust, there should be some respect.

“In the future, the responsibilities of workers’ committees may be purely transformed into factory management and supervision.”

"Isn't this what we did before?" This time it was Babaru who didn't understand.

Of course, even he didn't understand it, let alone others.

Yu Lian explained: "At the same time, we also need an organization that can organize workers and the families behind them, so that everyone can help and support each other. Our medical care, education, job training, and the support of the lonely elderly and disabled people Assistance and even organizing entertainment activities during holidays should be within the scope of this organization. If the factory treats workers as family members, the workers will protect the factory with the awareness of protecting their homeland.”

Everyone nodded. They have always done this, and because of this, even when the Red Maple Factory was at its most dying, there were still so many people willing to stay and die together.

"However, I must pour cold water on you now. Today's passion is burning, today's blood is boiling, today's sacrifice and hard work cannot be sustainable. Again, when everyone is broke, as long as they are willing to As long as you are willing to sacrifice your life, you can always open up some situations. However, when this Red Maple Factory gets back on track, and even becomes a large and prosperous factory according to our original plan, you can still guarantee today. Passion? ”

Everyone was silent.

If the people present are those young officers who have never seen the second grade and will only take it for granted, or students who stay in the ivory tower, some people will probably laugh jokingly and say something like "Captain, you are worrying too much." However, they are workers, and they are the most elite group of workers. They have seen the reality of the world and experienced the sufferings of the world. Even if his education level is not high, he is much more sensible than most of the princes who claim to be highly educated.

Since ancient times, we have shared hardships and joys together!

"You can do it, your children can do it, but what about your grandchildren? Will one day they take everything they have for granted?" Yu Lian asked again.

"Captain, do you have any solution?" Babalu looked at Yu Lian expectantly.

"This is a social problem that can even rise to the level of philosophy and human nature. It involves the ultimate dilemma of civilization. Even with the development of civilization today, this is still a problem that is difficult for everyone to solve." Yu Lian shrugged.

Babalu was a little disappointed.

"...But maybe we can find this method together." Yu Lian added.

No one cares too much. Philosophy, human form, society, civilization, etc. are indeed too far away for them. Normal people will not have a deep understanding of these surrealities.

However, the only highly educated person present, Seldy Stock, thought of something and his eyes lit up.

"...Captain, I understand."

Everyone looked at Mr. Graduate Student.

"I really understand." He said with suppressed excitement.

So what exactly did you understand?

People with high education and knowledge are the most likely to have random thoughts. Yu Lian was too lazy to pay attention to his mental state now, and said to everyone: "It won't take long, even if it is to prevent Hongfeng Factory from being completely rigid, the elimination system will inevitably appear. For efficiency, survival, and development, the factory's The management will become the stronger party again. Then, the union should also serve as the workers' representative to communicate and negotiate with the management on the workers' treatment," Yu Lian added when he saw everyone was lost in thought. One sentence: "The workers' committee used to lead the workers against the bosses and capitalists, but now everyone has made the decision in this Red Maple Factory. The union, which stands on the workers' stand, and the management, which stands on the perspective of development, should be separated. ”

Babalu must have understood and nodded. However, when he heard the word "call the shots", he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little distressed.

"I have a draft factory system here, which will be called the saddle... Hongfeng Factory Charter from now on! Everyone, go back and take a look, and we will discuss it at our next meeting."

Probably the amount of information in today's meeting was too great. When the meeting ended, everyone was a little silent, and the state was infinitely close to that of high school students who were forced to answer more than a dozen big questions during evening self-study.

Yu Lian also packed up his things and was going to see Feifei in class, but saw that Babalu hadn't left yet.

"Can we chat for a few words?" he asked.

Yu Lian nodded, took out a pack of old knives from his arms, and put them back again in imagination. Babalu stepped forward to clear the way.

The two of them left the conference room and reached the roof of the building. This is the highest place in Maple City, completely overlooking the factory area opposite. The scenery is great and it's secluded, making it perfect for private conversations.

Perhaps Babaru hadn't organized his words yet, so he didn't speak for a while. He looked at the factory area with flashing lights and sparks in the distance, and the continuous roar of machinery, his eyes blurred, as if he was looking at the goddess he dreamed of.

Yu Lian understood the other party's mentality very well and didn't bother him.

It wasn't until he finished burning an entire old sword that Babalu said: "Captain, I just thought of a very troublesome issue... It's hard for others to discuss it, so I can only talk to you."

"Is it about the property rights and future management of our Red Maple Factory?" Yu Lian asked.

The word property rights is a bit beyond Babaru's knowledge, but he quickly reacted, nodded and said: "...I can't hide anything from you."

"You don't have to worry about the military. Since I'm here, I represent the will of the military. In the future, the military will still send military representatives to the station, but they will not directly intervene in the production and management of the factory. You only need to follow the initial equity, Just hand over the profits you should make. Moreover, this part of the profits can be directly deducted from the products, which saves you a lot of trouble, right?”

Seeing the disbelief on the other side's face, Yu Lian smiled: "For ten years, the Red Maple Factory was unable to provide the military with a dime of profit or even one gram of Taishi alloy. They had long wanted to get rid of it. In this case, it’s better to let you do it. The big shots in the National Defense Committee have already forgotten you and won’t cause trouble.”

Anyway, after the previous restructuring, Hongfeng Factory is no longer a military enterprise, and naturally it will not be directly controlled by the military. Once things get back on track, the far shore defense fleet and the fortress groups in the two corridors will purchase the necessary military spare parts and metal consumables from here nearby.

This is a win-win future. Marshal Paris, who had just taken office, also agreed. Anyway, even if it fails, the military will not lose anything, so why not be happy to see it succeed?

After Yu Lian explained this, Babaru finally understood. He knew that Yu Lian had made a longer-term plan for the factory, and he was moved for a moment.

But the more this happened, the more worried he became.

"I believe you," Babalu said.

"You will definitely be able to convince the military to let go...but when the factory really resumes operations, Xingsheng Company will definitely come back. Can you convince them to give in?"

Yu Lian thought for a long time before recalling that the so-called Xingsheng Company was the private enterprise after the restructuring, wasn't it? Its full name is Xingsheng Metallurgical Trading Company. After the Far Coast Sector Government withdrew from the Red Maple Factory, it handed over its shares, management and operating rights to it.

Of course, because the operational level of their management was lower than that of the military representatives, it triggered protests and boycotts from the workers, and they withdrew faster than the military representatives.

However, it was only the managers who retreated. Of course, Xingsheng Company also thought about selling the company back then, but it couldn't find a reliable successor at all, so it ended up being a mistake. At least legally speaking, that company does own part of the ownership of the Red Maple Factory.

When the Red Maple Factory comes back to life, they will definitely come back like sharks that smell blood.

Once the bosses come back, where will their employees go? This is why Babalu feels helpless.

"You are not their employees, what do you have to worry about?" Yu Lian said matter-of-factly.

"...No?"

"Of course not. Feifei has reviewed the legal documents of ownership of the Red Maple Factory, and they are not particularly formal. At least it is not certain that the shares owned by Xingsheng Company exceed those collectively owned by the workers of the original factory. Therefore, according to the laws of the community, or even according to the national According to the corporate laws of most countries in the Galaxy, they have no legal management rights”

Babalu was a little confused. With such a description, could it be that the biggest boss in his mind was completely unimpedable?

"The military needs you to provide high-quality and cheap military equipment, and the government needs you to pay taxes legally. As long as you do this, you don't have to worry about external constraints. Then, it will be a fight between you and the capitalists! As long as you don't mess up. , if you are always united, then there is nothing to be afraid of.”

"However, this is also the most difficult." Babalu breathed out. He and his companions had endured until now, and were full of confidence in them, but now they had little confidence.

"...Yes, so you must even be mentally prepared to destroy each other's body." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Babalu was completely speechless for a moment. He really didn't know if the other party was joking.

The old book club group is restored again. The book number group is still 182627336, and the group number is "Crystal Palace of Meow Stars"
