Spring Thunder Chapter 0186 Very Far, Very Close
"Have you seen the lucky draw booth?"
"No, follow me?"
"No need, that grandson is not worthy of my attention. Just tell me if you hear any news about the lottery stall."
"yes."
Nan Yi distributed the peeled pine nuts to several people, put the shells into their schoolbags, and clapped his hands, "That's it for now, I'm going back to Wenchangwei, old soldier, sister-in-law, please be extra careful and don't let anything happen to you."
"good."
Nan Yi rode his bike out of Donghu Liyuan and went for a stroll on Dongmen Street. When he finished shopping and went to pick up his bike...
"Shit, where's my car?"
The spot where he had parked his car just now was now empty. Looking around, Nan Yi did not see his 28-inch bicycle.
Well, it must have been stolen. Just consider it bad luck.
"I spent 214 yuan to buy the car, register it, pay taxes, and ship it to Xiangkeng. Damn, I lost 250 yuan."
Nan Yi was depressed and found a place to make a phone call. After waiting for more than an hour, a sixth-generation Crown with a black license plate stopped next to him.
"Nansheng."
"Well, get in the car."
Nan Yi got into the car depressed, with a stern face, looking very unhappy.
"Nansheng, do you want to call the police?"
"Forget it, don't bother, just drive to the factory and we'll talk about it later."
"OK."
Zheng Wenqi turned the car key and started the engine...
Unlike the last time I came, Swallowtail Butterfly still has the same space, but a warehouse has been built in the original yard, and the four floors have been converted into workshops. The dormitory has been moved out, and Zheng Wenqi is now working in the warehouse.
As soon as he sat in Zheng Wenqi's "office", Nan Yi spoke up, "Let's not talk about the order. I've read the report. Let's talk about the workers."
"Okay." Zheng Wenqi nodded and said, "Swallowtail Butterfly now has a total of 672 workers, 198 of whom are our own workers, and the remaining 474 are expatriates."
“Have the wages in the area started to increase?”
"It has increased a little bit, ranging from 10 to 40 yuan per month."
"Compared to us?"
"It's not as good as ours. The salary at Swallowtail Butterfly is the highest around here, and probably the highest in the mainland. No other factory pays more than us."
"Well, people are never satisfied. They always expect others to be better than them. The medical insurance for employees of state-owned enterprises is provided by the factories themselves. They can afford it, but we cannot.
But we must provide employees with more benefits and medical insurance every year as a form of protection for them, and we must keep up in this regard.
Since we cannot afford it ourselves, we can find an insurance company to buy life insurance for each employee, including expatriate workers.
However, we cannot pay for the dispatched workers. You force the intermediaries to pay for us. Even if we make a lot of money, they have to give some back to us.”
“Is commercial insurance in the Mainland reliable?”
"The insurance company is state-owned, how could it be unreliable?" When Nan Yi said this, he suddenly felt uneasy for some reason.
"Then I'll make a budget?"
"Well, let's try it out first. We'll add medical insurance this year, and when we increase the wages for the agents next time, we'll think about the housing allowance issue."
"Housing fund? Nansheng, you don't want to build a collective housing unit, do you?"
"I do have some ideas. Regarding housing allowance, I think that a little bit can be deducted from the employees' wages every month, and Swallowtail Butterfly will allocate a little bit to the housing allowance according to the proportion;
When the housing fund is enough to build a building, we will build it first. After that, we will save up money for the next building and solve the housing problems of employees in batches.
As for how to allocate housing, the 80/20 principle is adopted, with 20% allocated to outstanding employees and the remaining 80% entirely up to luck. All employees participate in drawing lots, and whoever draws the lot gets the housing.
Of course, whether or not employees participate in the housing fund plan is entirely voluntary, and those who do not participate will not be included in the housing allocation.
This is just my temporary idea. You should ask the town for its opinion. We are a foreign company. If we provide better welfare than state-owned enterprises, wouldn’t it be too ostentatious? "
The cost of building a residential building is not too high now. Building collective housing can not only retain the hearts of workers, but also make the workers grateful to Swallowtail Butterfly whether they are working now or will leave in the future.
The clothing industry is an industry that relies on youth. It can still hold on at 35, but when you are 40, Swallowtail Butterfly will definitely "supply a large number of talents" to society.
Not to mention that the workers are no longer able to work, the factory can no longer afford to continue raising wages.
The added value of the industry is limited, and it is impossible for a foundry to offer too high a salary unless the workers work longer hours.
"Nansheng, isn't this a bit too much? I think medical insurance should be provided to workers; but houses, is this not necessary?"
"You should contact the town first to see if they support it. If they do, ask if they can allocate a piece of land to us for free to build a building. You can promise that the land will only be used to build staff housing and will not be used for other purposes.
If the town agrees, you can make a budget and see if it is not too burdensome, then the plan can be implemented next year.”
"All right."
Seeing Nan Yi so determined, Zheng Wenqi stopped objecting and started talking about other things.
"Nansheng, our orders are increasing, the factory needs to be expanded, and the number of workers needs to be increased. We need to add at least 600 workers this year."
"I know. You make the plan first. After the New Year, I will focus on my own business. I will follow up on the Swallowtail Butterfly matter. I am not satisfied with your progress in establishing the brand."
"I'm sorry, Nansheng, I..."
"No need to explain. I know your energy is limited. I will assign you more people to complete the staff structure of Swallowtail Butterfly Clothing before June."
"yes."
"Send me back to Wenchangwei, and you must prepare and submit the medical insurance budget, profit distribution plan, employee year-end bonus and welfare plan as soon as possible. There are not many days left until the New Year. Oh, and force the agency to provide benefits to the expatriates according to our standards."
Nan Yi had already thought it through back then. He would not bear the cost of the welfare of the expatriates, but that did not mean they could not enjoy it. He just wanted to force the agency to carve out a portion of their own profits.
If you don’t want to give it, just strike out.
Being an overseas assignment should be a business that is guaranteed to bring in income regardless of the weather, but the profit is not profitable. Their profits are too high or too meager, which is not in the interests of Nan Yi.
If the profit is too high, it means that the wages are too high or the agents are exploiting too much; if it is too low, the quality of the expatriates will be questionable. It should be neither too high nor too low, but should be kept within a range where it is neither worthwhile to eat nor worthwhile to discard.
After getting off the car at the door of his house, Nan Yi put the things in his hand at the gate and walked towards the mudflat.
On the mudflats, the poultry sheds and other structures had been demolished, but there was still all kinds of feces on the ground, and a pungent smell filled my nose.
Carefully avoiding the dirty things on the ground, Nan Yi walked around the entire mudflat.
"This year is August 2, next year is August 3, the year after next is August 4, the year after next is August 5 , August 5... This year, Lao Ma came to Shencun, and the next year Huaqiangbei rose. Huaqiangbei electronics and Wenchangwei clothing echo each other, which is great.
The stalls were only rented out and not sold, and they were cleared out after 2018...
E-commerce clothing base...
Internet celebrity...
flip flops……
Collect rent! "
The more pine nuts he peeled, the more his thoughts drifted away.
"Nan Yi, Nan Yi."
"Are you in the village?"
"I just fixed the leak in my house. What do you think? Is it time to build a house in the village?"
"It's too early. Let's talk about it two years later."
"So what should I do after the New Year?"
"Not planning to retire?"
"Hehehe, don't laugh at me. I already had a lot of money at that time."
"Haha, after the New Year, it's time to collect the junk."
"I told you, you let me investigate for so long, how could there be no follow-up? Here!" Xian Weimin took out a cigarette and handed it to Nan Yi.
“I’ve quit.”
"Quit it?"
"I quit smoking. My daughter won't let me smoke."
"You pamper a child who is not your own to this extent. If it were your own child, how could you praise him to the sky?"
"Haha, things smell good when they're far away, it's hard to tell if they're your own children."
"No way." Xian Weimin spat and said, "If you want to entertain the helpers, I've prepared some extra dishes at home. Can you come to my house to eat tonight?"
"Okay, I'll go over later. I'll go see Wei Qi first."
