Although Sun Xu is just a technician, as a senior technician with an annual income of more than 1,000 yuan, Sun Xu is different from ordinary technicians. He is more concerned about industry trends.
Because he himself knows very well that the reason why he can earn such a high salary, live in such a good house in Songjiang City, and live a life that is almost like a human being is not because he has reached the standards of a top technician, but because he has reached the standards of a top technician. It’s because we have reaped the dividends of the times.
When he first arrived in Songjiang, he caught up with the period of interviewing and promoting new spinning machines, and coincided with the upgrading and transformation of Anhua Textile Company, which recruited a group of young mechanics including Sun Xu to participate in the new spinning machines. Come during the maintenance.
Only later did he work hard and study, and finally stood out and became a technical backbone. .
After finally becoming the technical backbone, he gained the attention of Anhua Textile Company and even poached from outside...
At the same time, because the new spinning machine has just been released, there is a shortage of talents in the market who can maintain the new spinning machine. Many reasons have promoted Sun Xu to receive a high annual salary of thousands of dollars in just one year.
But how long can this situation last?
To be honest, Sun Xu himself didn't know, and was even a little worried.
With the continuous promotion of new spinning machines, various companies will inevitably cultivate more technical backbone talents who know how to maintain new spinning machines... Sun Xu is worried that once there are more professional talents in this industry, their value will inevitably decrease. By then, I may not be able to get such a high salary.
At the end of last year, he got excited and bought this single-family courtyard. After officially getting married, his wife quit her job. Now she is pregnant again. In order to take care of his pregnant wife, he hired a maid.
Today, Sun Xu is a man with a mortgage and a family to support... If he loses his job in a short period of time, the consequences will be disastrous.
The only thing that makes him happy is that he was more cautious when buying a house last year and did not buy an overly expensive house... Although a house worth a few thousand yuan is already considered very expensive, but based on his time and current situation, The annual income is less than two years’ annual salary.
And he also gave part of the down payment at that time.
Although the loan is large, with his current annual income, he can actually grit his teeth and persist. If he does not live extravagantly, he can basically pay off the loan in another year.
But even so, it makes him a little anxious... He is afraid that he will lose his job in the next year!
Especially since the beginning of this year, as several manufacturers across the country have successively launched the production of new cotton yarn machines, and after the output of new cotton yarn machines has increased, more and more comprehensive textile companies and independent cotton yarn manufacturers have purchased new cotton yarn machines for upgrading.
If this were the current situation, it would actually be quite good... because the cultivation of talents in a short period of time cannot keep up with the market demand.
There are still too few technical backbones on the market who can be independently responsible and even lead a team to maintain, debug and even simple repair new cotton yarn machines, and most of them are concentrated in large integrated textile companies with better remuneration.
As a result, the value of this kind of technical backbone has naturally been raised. Major textile companies are too slow to train themselves and the number of people is too small. In order to put into production as soon as possible and to ensure production, they will naturally do everything possible to poach people from outside.
Therefore, the recruitment war for these key technical talents has not stopped in the past two years, but has become more and more intense... This is how Sun Xu's annual salary of thousands of dollars comes from.
However, Sun Xu is worried that... with the further expansion of the new cotton yarn market, market competition will further intensify, resulting in reduced profits for companies in this new business. By then, they may not even be able to support high-paying talents.
At the same time, as time goes by, many mechanics who entered the industry early will also have learned something.
The profits of new cotton yarns have decreased, and the supply of technical talents has also increased... By then, wouldn't Sun Xu's employment prospects be very bad?
This will make him feel that today's so-called success is nothing more than the moon in the mirror... As the market bubble bursts, this kind of success will fall to the bottom in an instant.
He became even more worried when he saw a report in the Songjiang Business Daily that another medium-sized textile company had invested heavily in preparing for a comprehensive industrial upgrade of the cotton yarn business and the introduction of new cotton yarns.
Counting this, this year alone, more than 20 companies in Songjiang alone have successively entered the new cotton yarn business. Most of them are various comprehensive textile companies, and many are very large textile companies established in Songjiang. branch in Songjiang.
Not counting comprehensive textile companies, there are as many as eight independent cotton yarn companies... Thinking back to last year, there were only two independent cotton yarn manufacturers in Songjiang City.
Anwar Textile Company is one of them…
There was little competition, or almost no competition. At that time, they could sell as many new cotton yarns at high prices as they produced, and they were all high-end cotton yarns with the highest profits.
Sun Xu didn't know how much money his boss Wang Liqing made last year, but in just one year, Anhua Textile Company expanded from more than 800 people to more than 2,000 people now, and boss Wang Liqing acquired Judging from the establishment of its own cotton supply system, a large cotton company must have made a lot of money...otherwise it would not be able to pay such high salaries to technical backbones such as Sun Xu.
However, this year, as more companies enter the new cotton yarn market, although the new cotton yarn market is still in short supply... it is no longer the kind of supply that was limited to the height market last year.
Some latecomer cotton yarn manufacturers, especially independent cotton yarn manufacturers, have begun to produce mid-range new cotton yarns for orders and profits, and also because the high-end cotton yarn market has gradually become saturated.
This is not good news for Sun Xu!
Even if the new cotton yarn market is still in short supply... But now they are starting to engage in the mid-range market, which is not so profitable. By next year, won't everyone have to go to the low-end cotton yarn market to grab something?
By that time, can the profits of new cotton yarns be maintained?
Can relevant practitioners like them still get such high salaries?
Sun Xu is deeply worried about this, but there is no good way... After all, he is just an insignificant technician in this huge industrial chain, and he is not even the upstream of new cotton yarns, such as the development and production of new cotton yarn equipment. , technicians who develop and produce new cotton yarns.
When it comes down to it, he is actually just a mechanic who repairs machines!
In this way, not to mention affecting the entire industry, he can't even affect the internal operations of Anhua Textile Company.
He can't change anything. What he can do now is to work as hard as possible, earn the money he can earn now, and then learn more things outside of work.
His mechanical talent is quite good, at least that's what Section Chief Wang said about him... He is also learning to maintain, debug, and maintain other types of equipment after work... In such a large textile company, this is not the case. There is only one kind of mechanical equipment such as the spinning machine. In fact, there are many other messy equipment, such as the steam engine, which is the most powerful one.
He must improve his business capabilities as much as possible in the limited time and increase his employment competitiveness... At least he must expand from a specialist to an all-rounder in the machine repair industry!
How can someone who specializes in repairing textile equipment only repair a new type of spinning equipment? At least he needs to be able to master all the equipment related to the textile industry.
Only in this way can it be possible to go further, and one day be able to be in charge of the entire mechanical repair department like Section Chief Wang, responsible for the maintenance, production debugging and even repair of all mechanical equipment in the entire factory.
This means that he still needs to learn a lot of knowledge!
But once you become a person like Section Chief Wang, you are unlikely to be unemployed, because the absolute technical backbone of Section Chief Wang is an indispensable top talent to ensure the operation of a spinning factory.
You can lose one or two mechanics who have made achievements in specialized fields, but you cannot lose a technical department leader like Section Chief Wang.
Even for a large independent cotton yarn manufacturer like Anhua Textile Company with more than 2,000 employees, Section Chief Wang is indispensable.
Without him, this factory could not even handle the production debugging and daily maintenance of the huge and diverse production lines composed of various types of equipment... Then how could it be produced!
Machines will always break down. If maintenance and debugging are not done properly, once a piece of equipment in the production line breaks down during production, the entire production line will be shut down... and the losses will be huge.
Otherwise, the boss, Wang Liqing, would have lost his mind and would have given him shares and used them to completely tie Section Chief Wang to death.
Never overestimate the conscience of a capitalist...even a boss like Wang Liqing who seems to treat technicians very well...
But if you look at the treatment of ordinary workers in Anhua Textile Company, you will know that Wang Liqing is still a capitalist with no conscience at heart.
Anhua Textile Company has achieved explosive and rapid development in the past two years. Boss Wang Liqing, top technical management like Section Chief Wang, and even middle-level technical backbones like Sun Xu have all benefited from it.
However, the income of ordinary workers has hardly increased, and they are all paid based on the labor law and the minimum wage standards set by Songjiang Prefecture...
It is basically impossible to get extra money. Even if the orders are full, workers will not be asked to work extra overtime, because the overtime pay is too expensive, the efficiency is low, and the price/performance ratio is too poor...
Wang Liqing would rather hire more people to work regular shifts than let existing workers work overtime with high overtime pay!
This means that ordinary workers in Anhua Textile Company cannot even get overtime pay... they can only get the most ordinary daily salary, which is not very high...
Not to mention ordinary workers, even those seemingly decent clerical workers who do administrative work in office buildings, their incomes have not increased at all...
I heard that the manager of a workshop thought he was very awesome. After seeing that the managers of the technical department next door had their salaries increased and even received shares, he shamelessly went to Wang Liqing to apply for a salary increase... but Wang Liqing beat him to the bottom in the blink of an eye. , sent directly to the assembly line to work...
Resigning is impossible. After all, middle- and senior-level administrative managers have signed relatively fixed multi-year work contracts. If you dismiss directly, you will have to pay a lot of money. If you don't pay, it will be very troublesome to file a lawsuit...
Regarding the protection of workers, the Dachu Empire still provides a lot of legal protection. At the same time, in terms of specific implementation, it is handled as a public interest case without charging any prosecution fees. At the same time, these illegal dismissal and wage arrears cases will be assigned as public interest cases. To those lawyers...
Of course, the lawyer's work is not in vain. Although he does not get legal fees, he can get a part of the company's fine...
Once a company illegally dismisses employees and owed wages...if they are sued, not only will they have to compensate the illegally dismissed employees, but they will also be subject to high official fines...The lawyers make money by sharing the shares of these high fines.
This kind of public welfare case, which involves a fine and a portion of the fine as attorney fees, is still very popular among the lawyer community.
Public welfare cases have a good reputation, and they can also get closer to the Inspectorate. They can earn a lot from the fines... If you are lucky, you can get a big deal and stay on it for three years.
Of course... the above is only limited to the situation of entering the normal process. In fact, people are not stupid. You have policies, and I have countermeasures... Direct illegal dismissal is not feasible, then I will legally dismiss!
Wang Liqing's method was very simple. He directly assigned the person in charge of the workshop to the hardest position in the assembly line as an ordinary worker...
The boss, Wang Liqing, is willing to pay you tens of dollars a month to drive screws... He is happy with that, and he doesn't care about the money.
And can your self-esteem and even your body, as the person in charge of the workshop, be able to withstand this?
Unable to stand it, the former workshop leader resigned voluntarily after just half a month...Wang Liqing didn't even spend a dime in compensation, and he didn't even write a letter of recommendation from his former employer!
This is Wang Liqing!
A legal capitalist, he knows his subordinates very clearly... He directly throws money at the truly indispensable technical talents that he needs, with all kinds of generosity... Section Chief Wang even got the shares, Sun Xu He even received a salary of over a thousand years for his mere position as leader of the mechanical maintenance department.
But for ordinary workers, he squeezes them whenever he can...
For ordinary civil servants who have nothing special, they are dispensable. Anyway, there are a lot of so-called administrative personnel on the market, and their abilities are about the same...
As for the real top civil servants, senior administrative talents who can establish and improve the factory operation system, Wang Liqing has another attitude. The co-organizer of Anhua Textile Company was newly hired the year before last, a retired manager from a former government-run enterprise. After retirement, Being poached by Wang Liqing, the cost was not about money, but about shares!
They are indeed capable of assisting Wang Liqing in running the huge factory in an orderly manner. Not long after he joined the company, he began to vigorously promote the business transformation of new cotton yarns.
At that time, Wang Liqing himself didn't even know that Hantian Machinery Company had developed an epoch-making new spinning machine.
The reason why Wang Liqing started working on new cotton yarn was because of his strong suggestion... Even the first batch of new cotton yarn equipment was able to be obtained because of his connections... He had just retired not long ago, and many of his connections were still there. Woolen cloth.
If it were Wang Liqing himself, he wouldn't even know where to open the door of Hantian Machinery Company...
In terms of subsequent specific operations of Anhua Textile Company, most of them actually rely on this co-organizing ability. Wang Liqing himself... is just the boss.
Wang Liqing is not a ruthless businessman who started from scratch. To be honest, he is just a lucky man who married a rich and beautiful woman.
Twenty years ago, I used the money given by my father-in-law and my connections to start a business... In the end, the money I made was not as much as the fraction my wife made from investing in real estate!
Speaking of which, it’s quite embarrassing…
Of course, outsiders generally don't know these things, and his subordinates are even less clear about it.
Through these two years of work, Sun Xudu had only learned some basic characteristics of his boss Wang Liqing.
This boss is really good when he is good... For example, now, thousands of Chu Yuan's high salary is given to mid-level technical backbones like Sun Xu without blinking an eye, and from time to time he also gives it to technical departments like the Mechanical Maintenance Department. All kinds of delicious food and drinks. During the holidays, each of the technical backbones such as Sun Xu can receive various extra gifts... The gifts are not cheap.
At the winter solstice, Sun Xu received a shopping voucher from his boss Wang Liqing... When he was handing out shopping vouchers to the technical backbones one by one in the Mechanical Maintenance Department office, he had a kind smile on his face, and he didn't look too rude. Everyone acted like old friends, making witty remarks, and even put their arms around shoulders and told some jokes.
One last sentence: "I've been so busy during this period. I didn't prepare any gifts for this big holiday, so I just got some shopping coupons. Everyone, please work harder and buy whatever you need!"
At that time, Sun Xu glanced at the shopping coupon in the envelope: fifty yuan... almost half a month's salary.
In addition, when he got married at the beginning of the year, his boss Wang Liqing arranged for someone to give him a wedding gift. The value of the gift was not low, at least hundreds of dollars.
From Sun Xu's own perspective, Wang Liqing is a very good boss.
But he also knew that Wang Liqing was not so kind to every employee!
There are actually quite a few mechanics in the Mechanical Maintenance Department, but it doesn't mean that they can get as high a salary as Sun Xu every month. Most of them still get an ordinary salary of 20 to 30 yuan, and there are also a few team leaders. It’s just a salary of forty or fifty yuan.
Sun Xu is the only team leader who can earn hundreds of dollars every month.
The reason why he can make so much money is because his technology in new cotton yarn equipment is second only to Section Chief Wang in the entire machine repair department... and the new cotton yarn business is currently the most profitable business and even the core business of Anhua Textile Company. .
That is to say, Sun Xu's technology is not yet versatile enough. He is only good at one kind of new spinning equipment. The technology of many equipments needed in other spinning factories is still a little behind, and he cannot be alone. Otherwise, he will be directly promoted to deputy section chief. It’s also a matter of one sentence.
And what should you do with such a boss?
Section Chief Wang, who had always been very kind to Sun Xu and cultivated him vigorously, hoping to train him as his successor so that he could retire and enjoy a happy life, once said to Sun Xu: Don't think about having so much.
Once you have mastered the technology and done things well, you will find that our boss is actually quite good, he is humane and generous!
We work in technology, so we study hard and specialize in technology. We don’t need you to flatter us or express your loyalty. In the office building opposite, a group of people with a monthly salary of seven to eight yuan or more than ten yuan are rushing to do it every day... It’s not your turn.
Our boss spent hundreds of dollars a month to hire you, and even more money to hire me, not to listen to our flattery... but to ensure the stable production of the factory. If problems arise, we must solve them as soon as possible to avoid greater loss.
So, we also have to be worth the price?
do you understand?
Sun Xu also understood this truth, so he never relaxed in his studies. Even after returning home from get off work, he would often study with books in his study room.
In order to strengthen my skills and reflect my own value, I have to tell Wang Liqing: My skills are worth a thousand years of salary or even more!
If he wants to keep his current high-paying job and even take a step further in the future, technology is his foundation!
But his wife, Sun Mengshi, saw him busy at work every day and studying with books after coming home from get off work. She couldn't help but comfort her many times: You have done a good job, better than most people, there is no need to worry about it. You push yourself so hard!
A few days ago, I comforted him: Even if you lose your job and the loan is not repaid, the worst case scenario is to sell this house and we can buy a townhouse... It’s not like I can’t endure hardships. !
Sun Xu just smiled and said nothing!
