Chapter 226 Don’t Worry Too Much About People
Lin Panpan asked Zhang Xiang to take her directly to the machinery factory. Looking at this dilapidated machinery factory, she felt an indescribable excitement in her heart.
Originally, she hadn't intended to take over the machinery factory, but she had so many drawings in her mind that she would definitely not be satisfied unless she made all of them.
When she walked into the office, she saw the old man and other workers there.
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on her, and the low conversation in the office came to an abrupt halt.
Lin Panpan smiled and asked, "What are you all discussing?"
The old man smiled slightly and said:
"Boss Lin, we previously had sixteen skilled workers in our factory, and now we're asking six of them to come back.
There are ten more, some of whom have family matters and cannot leave, and some are too old to worry about the work anymore."
Old Cai next to him said, "Pah!" "Old man, just tell the truth! We are all family here..."
The old man's face became very ugly:
"Hey! I went to the staff quarters today to recruit some people, and all the old guys have found new jobs now.
As soon as I opened my mouth, they were in an uproar. The old Xiao Li started yelling at me.
"Given our current situation, it's simply a pipe dream to think we can build a tractor. That's as harsh as it can be. I'm too embarrassed to admit it."
Old Cai immediately took over the conversation, his face full of frustration:
"My situation wasn't much better. We had almost reached an agreement, but in the end, no one was willing to come back.
They said I was just painting a rosy picture for them, but who would believe empty words?
I tried my best to persuade them, but they just told me to stop lying to them and get out of here.
Only a few of my disciples are willing to follow me."
Old Yan frowned and said in a heavy tone:
"We went to many places and brought back about ten people. The people in the family compound scolded me.
They said that we cadres only knew how to lie. When the factory was not doing well, we did nothing and lost our salaries.
There is no way to get them back now unless they are compensated for their previous wages."
Old Chen added with a wry smile:
"Yes, they were very emotional, pointing fingers at us and cursing us, saying that we had ruined their lives.
Now you're pretending to hire us, but you don't trust us at all."
Lao Li slapped the table and said helplessly:
"How can such a large factory be maintained by just 20 or 30 people?
But it’s so difficult to recruit people now, what should we do?”
Lao Tian is in charge of electricians and maintenance. He slowly said:
"I called back all my men. They are all good electricians and maintenance workers. They used to work with me in the factory and their skills are impeccable.
But we only have eight people, and facing such a large factory, it is really a drop in the bucket and can't play a big role."
Lin Panpan looked calm, glanced at everyone, and said softly:
"It's okay, don't worry, I'll figure out a way to deal with the people.
But I want to ask, is it okay for women to work in the factory?"
Workshop Director Lao Cai hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded: "It's not impossible for a woman to work on machinery, but some of the mechanical parts are too heavy, so they need a little strength."
Lin Panpan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile:
“We definitely have the strength, we have dozens of people on our side.
I'll bring them here when the time comes, and I'll have to trouble you to take care of them."
What Lin Panpan was thinking about were the women who had been abducted with her.
They now live in the village. Although there is no major friction with the villagers, they still feel a little out of place.
If we could bring them to a machinery factory, it would be a good way out.
After all, the machinery factory has a canteen and complete living facilities. Once they come here, they can adapt faster and start a new life.
Lin Panpan looked at their worried expressions and said:
"Hey! Don't worry too much about people. When we have money, many people will rush to work in our factory.
Those people will not be accepted at that time."
The old man nodded and said:
"Then I'll ask them to clean and tidy up the factory in the next few days.
And the things in the dormitory building are too old.”
Lin Panpan said with a smile: "When the time comes, ask someone to do some simple work on it, and then you can see how the machine works."
Lao Tian quickly said:
"I tried it today and it was basically fine.
There are only a few machines, and over time, some parts need to be replaced, but they can still operate."
"That's good. As for the blueprints, I will draw them in the next few days and we can discuss them together then." Lin Panpan said.
These people nodded one after another. Lin Panpan looked at Old Li and asked, "Master Li used to be an accountant at the factory?"
Old Li nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I used to be the accountant in the factory, but I also had to take care of all kinds of miscellaneous work. All the miscellaneous work in the factory was my responsibility."
Lin Panpan nodded and said:
"Okay, then you can hire someone to clean up our dormitory. The requirements for the dormitory are simple: just paint all the walls.
The ground is also paved with cement, and each dormitory is provided with several beds so that people don’t have to live too crowded.
Build some more cabinets specifically for them to store their clothes, and then put in the factory's work clothes, quilts, and other things..."
Old Li took the notebook and wrote down everything. It was 1973, and accountants at that time basically would not cheat. Lin Panpan also investigated and found that these people were relatively upright.
The old man is a decent person, so he only recruits good people.
In fact, Lao Li was worried. The factory had no money! Could it be that he, the accountant, had to pay for it? He didn't dare to say...
Lin Panpan took out a pile of money from his pocket and said:
“Here is 10,000 yuan. I’ll give it to you first and find some reliable masters in the staff dormitory.
Also, you don’t need to save too much money on me. You still have to give the benefits to employees.
I'll bring two chefs with me, and we'll have better food."
When Lao Li saw so much money, tears came to his eyes. "It's okay, I... I was just too excited. I didn't expect our factory would have such a day. Woo woo woo..."
Old Cai said, "Pah!" "Look at how little you can do. Our good days are still to come! Boss Lin, I will definitely work hard."
"Don't call me Boss Lin, just call me Panpan. Then let's split up!
I'll go check out the warehouse now, and I'll talk to you tomorrow after I bring the people here!" Lin Panpan still had a lot of things to do, so she said hello and went straight to the warehouse.
Lin Weihua and Lin Feng were busy and sweating. Now Lin Weiguo is in the village, in charge of the farm.
Lin Weimin is in charge of the black market, and Lin Panpan really has no time to spare.
Fortunately, he has several brothers to help him. Lin Weimin is quite talented. Lin Panpan never expected that her second brother would like to be a cook.
