After listening to Chen Shang's thoughts, Zhou Yang frowned and said, "You mean, you want to give workers half a month's salary as a bonus at the end of the year?"
"Yes, everyone has been working very hard during this period. Everyone works basically 10 to 12 hours a day. I think it is not excessive to give everyone an extra half month's salary!"
While talking, Chen Shang was also secretly observing the expression on Zhou Yang's face.
Looking at his frown, his heart suddenly sank, and he felt that his request might be a bit too high, and that he had put the director in a difficult position.
However, just when he was thinking about whether to take back what he said and lower his demands, Zhou Yang spoke.
But his words made him completely confused, and at the same time he felt that his situation was too small!
"It's too much. Who said your request is too much? What I mean is that just giving out this small bonus is really too much!"
"Can't take it?"
"Yes, I just can't take it!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "The total number of people in your printing factory is only about 500. Calculated based on the average monthly salary of each person for 36 months, the total salary for half a month is only about 9,000 yuan."
"But these workers have created a net profit of more than 8 million yuan for the factory, and they are only given 9,000 yuan. How can they get it?"
"This...what do you think about that, Director?"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "We have discussed the issue of profit distribution before. 80% of all profits will be used for scientific research, and the remaining 20% will be used to improve the living conditions of employees, enhance benefits, etc.!"
"I plan to give 5% of the net profit to your printing factory. In addition to part of it being used to increase machinery and equipment, no less than 1% of the money will be used to reward employees and cadres in the factory!"
"hiss!"
Hearing this, Chen Shang suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Zhou Yang's arrogance really scared him. Even though it was only 1%, if calculated on the basis of a huge profit of 8.5 million, this was still a huge amount of money up to 85,000.
Think about it, there are only about 500 people in their printing factory, and each person has an average of 170 yuan on their head.
In addition, they have only been working for more than half a year this year, which is equivalent to directly doubling the salary of each of them.
"Director, is this too much? If the superiors find out, will they accuse us of secretly dividing state-owned assets?" Chen Shang asked with a hint of worry.
"It's not much, but not all of the money can be given directly to the employees. What I mean is that part of it is money and part of it is welfare products!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, what should I buy as welfare products?"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "For food and clothing, we will give the employees whatever they need. Later, you can bring up a list and hand it over, and I will ask Director Qiao and the others to make unified purchases!"
"OK..."
"By the way, Lao Chen, the scale of your printing factory is still a bit small. I will find a way to get you a few more four-color offset printing machines and other equipment as soon as possible. You must be prepared to expand production capacity!"
"Director, do we still need to expand production capacity? I feel that the scale of our factory is already very large!"
In Chen Shang's view, a printing factory has four four-color offset printing machines and more than 500 employees and cadres. Even if it is located in a provincial capital, the scale is not small.
"With just such a small amount of manpower and equipment, it can't even be considered a third-rate factory in the country. Moreover, your factory will be the main source of revenue for our research institute in the future, so we should have more equipment and manpower!" Zhou Yang said.
In fact, Zhou Yang was doing this to prepare for a rainy day. The college entrance examinations in Saibei Province and several surrounding provinces are currently going on in an orderly manner. As expected, the college entrance examination results will be released one after another in the next month.
And with the review materials and simulation papers compiled by them, there is no doubt that the performance of candidates from several nearby provinces will be better than that of other provinces.
After all, with review materials and simulation test questions, it is equivalent to earning money by playing games. It is normal to be better than those players who do not have money.
Zhou Yang can fully imagine that when the college entrance examination results come out, candidates from several nearby provinces will be far ahead, and it will be difficult for them to think about whether the review materials here will be popular.
In addition, the State Education Commission is about to conduct the spring college entrance examination. If nothing unexpected happens, their printing factory will usher in a new sales peak period before long.
Chen Shang didn't know what Zhou Yang was thinking, but his advantage was that he was obedient, so he immediately said: "Then I will make arrangements when I get back and see if I can recruit some more workers!"
"OK..."
...........
After sending Chen Shang away, Zhou Yang immediately called Qiao Weiguo over!
As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Weiguo picked up the half-pot of cold tea on Zhou Yang's desk, raised his neck and let out a "gurgle".
"The tea in the pot is cold tea. Aren't you afraid of damaging your stomach?"
"It's okay, my throat is almost smoking, I can't care about this anymore!"
"How are you doing with your small farm tools over there?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Not bad, more than 3,000 have been produced, and as the soldiers become more and more skilled, the casting speed is also much faster!" Qiao Weiguo said.
"Are there any difficulties?"
"It's okay, but cast iron is more difficult to get, but Lao Gu solved the matter through Lao Nie!" Qiao Weiguo said.
"Then do you estimate how many days it will take to produce these tens of thousands of small farm tools?"
"It's almost four or five days!"
"Okay, then I'll notify Party Secretary Wang and Director Li and ask them to take away the ones that have been produced as soon as possible!"
"Okay, save space!"
Later, Zhou Yang asked again: "I called you here. In addition to asking about the production progress of the thresher, I also want to talk to you about purchasing welfare products!"
"Welfare products?"
"Yes, there are only two months left before the Chinese New Year. It's time to prepare for shopping. If it's too late, you may not be able to buy it!"
Unlike those later generations of government, enterprises and institutions that strictly prohibited the distribution of welfare goods, today's units can not only distribute welfare goods to employees and cadres, but they are also very abundant.
Of course, the specific welfare products to be distributed and how much to distribute all depend on the efficiency of the factory.
Some highly profitable units distribute festive food to their employees every New Year.
Before winter arrives, enterprises in the north will uniformly organize the purchase and distribution of winter vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, radishes, green onions, and potatoes based on the quantities reported by employees. They will also organize personnel to go to other places to purchase some Guoguang apples and large pears from Northern Hebei Province. Such fruits are distributed to employees for storage.
Some units that are particularly profitable even distribute a certain amount of rice, flour, soybean oil, pork and other food to their employees for free. In addition, some companies purchase and distribute coal for the winter, etc.
However, since this is the era of planned economy, theoretically all materials are produced on demand, so if you want to purchase these welfare products on a large scale, you have to plan in advance.
If you are doing some last-minute shopping like the one above, the day lilies may be cold by the time you get them back!
Of course Qiao Weiguo also understood this, and immediately nodded and asked: "What are you going to do for these welfare gifts?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but it's just some food and clothing expenses, but I can tell you the total budget for welfare products this year!"
"How many?"
"Around 200,000!"
"How... much?"
Qiao Weiguo thought he heard wrongly and asked subconsciously.
"200,000!"
"This...is this too much?"
"It's okay. I plan to use 2% of our institute's annual net profit to reward the employees and cadres in the factory. The total amount is about 350,000, of which 150,000 will be given out as bonuses, and the remaining 200,000 will be used to purchase benefits. Taste."
It's not that Zhou Yang doesn't want to send all the money directly to the staff and cadres, but this is not allowed, so he can only use the bulk to purchase welfare products.
Qiao Weiguo calmed down and said: "We only have about 1,700 people in total, and the purchase funds of 200,000 welfare products are more than 100 yuan per person on average. This task is a bit arduous!"
"Haha, I believe in your ability, Old Qiao!"
"Just put on a high hat for me, haha..."
"I'll leave this matter to you!"
"OK..."
