234. Enlightenment
Afterwards, Zhou Dalin explained to Lao Cheng that you are too kind-hearted and always think the best of people, so you are not suitable to be a boss.
You must know that human beings are selfish by nature. These days, as a capitalist, if you are not ruthless, the workers will attack you!
Dealing with workers, for Zhou Dalin, is the easiest thing. Because no matter what business you are doing, it is easy to find pure labor force who can do simple and rough work, but what is difficult to find is talent.
What is a talent? Not having gone to university, graduate school, international student, doctorate, or postdoc is a talent. It is a talent that can be used. Team leaders like Liu Daqiang who are skilled and capable are talents. Meng Qingshui is a talent, and Wu Qinglin is a talent. They are solid and willing to work.
Yu Qian is also a talented person.
Even maintenance workers with high skills in repairing equipment are considered talents in his eyes. After he took over, he merged the maintenance classes into the technical department and treated them as technicians.
Of course, if you want to get this treatment, you must also have unique skills. You must be proficient in various machine tool structures and accurately judge faults. You can use a scraper to smooth the machine tool guide rails and restore factory accuracy. If you can do it, you will be a talent.
If you can't do it, you can only use a wrench to remove screws. You can stay wherever it's cool. I have plenty of capable laborers, and I don't lack one of you.
Lao Cheng felt that Zhou Dalin was too cruel.
The education he received since he was a child said that workers are the leading class. How could Zhou Dalin treat them like this? Isn’t it just to let all the poor live a good life when our revolutionary ancestors sacrificed their lives and blood? If you treat workers like this, this is not restoration.
Isn’t this a black-hearted capitalist? His original intention of setting up a factory was to provide more people with jobs and food, not to make money for himself!
"If you want more people to have jobs, you have to keep the factory first, right?"
Zhou Dalin told him.
"How can you create jobs if you can't keep the factory? If the factory collapses, all the workers will not have enough to eat!"
If you want to keep the factory, you must have rules. You cannot just follow the workers' whims and do whatever they want. Sometimes, the truth is not in the hands of the majority of people. This is what great people have said.
The shortcoming of the Western political system is that it implements the opinions of the majority of people, which is why it is a mess and the world is full of wars and no peace.
He did this based on the idea that everyone is equal. He did not deprive any worker of the right to earn more money and live a better life.
Let’s take the cylindrical grinding process as an example. It costs eight yuan to process a qualified workpiece. The higher the technology and the more skilled the worker, the more he does in a day and the more he earns. A skilled worker can earn more than a dozen yuan a day.
With just over 100 yuan, one month's salary can be twice the average salary in society, and you can still live a happy life.
A skilled worker like Liu Daqiang, who works as a shift leader off-duty, can earn a salary of more than 5,000 yuan a month as long as he works hard and makes no mistakes, which is higher than the salary of ordinary technical managers.
Liu Daqiang is also a worker, right? He can live a better life than ordinary people.
Everyone, including workers, technicians, managers, and even him, Zhou Dalin, has the right to live a happy life. The key is that your happy life must be achieved by your true ability, not by harming the interests of other people.
.
Workers clean up substandard products, harming the interests of the factory, and still receive high wages. This is unreasonable, and we cannot get used to this!
Similarly, he, Zhou Dalin, is not a black-hearted capitalist. He built up the factory, accumulated wealth, and invested in the factory again to expand reproduction, create more jobs, and let more people have food. This is called giving back to society.
How much money can he bring about by himself? The money earned should still be used to serve the people as Lao Cheng said. This is called a virtuous circle.
Lao Cheng couldn't defeat Zhou Dalin, and felt that what he said seemed reasonable. However, something seemed wrong, and it was not consistent with the education he received in the army.
After much thought, he decided to go home and not get involved with Zhou Dalin. The water in the factory was too deep, and there were many things that he could not understand.
His heart was full of doubts and disappointments, and he felt more and more that he was a useless person and that nothing could be justified. Only a person of his age could understand the troubles in his heart.
The way people of their generation did things was completely different from the way people of today's generation do things.
The main purpose of working for this generation is probably to earn more money and live a happier life. Because in this world, everything is measured by money, even marriage and love.
Without money, your beautiful sister won't even look at you, and no matter how handsome you are, it's useless.
With a net worth of millions, no matter how ugly you are, you can still find a beautiful wife.
Therefore, everyone has basically become a slave to money.
But people of Lao Cheng's generation were not like this. He joined the army to protect his family and the country, and he started a factory to contribute to society and be a useful person to society and the country. No matter what he did, he had to have someone he could accept.
The guiding ideology. This guiding ideology is definitely not based on money as the ultimate goal.
This is probably an insurmountable generation gap.
Without the guiding ideology of Lao Cheng, he would be completely decadent and lose the meaning of life, so he would live in boredom, as if he was just eating and waiting to die.
Zhou Dalin understands the thoughts of Lao Cheng and his generation, so he will try to find things for him that are meaningful to society and that Lao Cheng can do within his ability. Help students improve their sports scores, get into key high schools, and change
Life is undoubtedly a very meaningful thing.
He did not expect that Lao Cheng's self-confidence would be completely destroyed. He did not believe that he could teach his children well, but he was afraid that he could not teach well and delay the future of other children.
That's why he deliberately angered Wu Ying and asked her to give up the idea of teaching him as a student as soon as possible.
Understanding Lao Cheng's concerns, he persuaded him: "You are not as incompetent as you thought. You just did a job that you were not good at and didn't understand, so you didn't do it well. When you ran a passenger transport company, you didn't do it well."
Are you good? You know cars. Transportation was your specialty when you were in the army. You are an expert, so you can do it well.
If I were asked to run a passenger transport company, I would definitely not be as good as you.
Having said that, if you are really such a waste as you say, then why did your superiors choose you to be the battalion commander in the first place? Could it be that your superiors don't understand you and use a waste to manage a car camp? Moreover, you are in
During your tenure as battalion commander, you were rated as an advanced collective many times, which shows that your superiors did not misappoint you, and you are indeed a competent battalion commander, right?"
These words made Old Cheng feel much better, as if he had returned to that fiery era, and he was the lively and energetic Battalion Commander Cheng again.
"But, I have never taught children, how can I teach them this?" He was still hesitant.
"What's so difficult about this?" Zhou Dalin asked him, "How did you train me in the first place? If I hadn't been forced to run ten kilometers cross-country by you and climb mountains with you every day, would I have the body I have now?"
There are so many things waiting for me to do, I'm afraid I really can't stand it. So, while I can manage my own company, I can also help you manage the factory, and you have a lot of credit for this."
"Don't talk about my factory." Lao Cheng said unhappy, "When I hear the word factory, I feel uncomfortable. That place will be yours from now on, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Okay, okay, it has nothing to do with you." Zhou Dalin laughed, "What's yours and mine between us? In the future, everything that's yours and mine will belong to Tongtong."
Lao Cheng grinned.
"Oh, I'm sorry for Tongtong. She can't be with her parents at such a young age. When you have time, take her back and I'll look after her at home for you. When you mention Tongtong, I really want to
She got it."
Zhou Dalin said: "You won't pick her up yourself?"
Lao Cheng chuckled and said, "I'm so troubled that you two won't have a good life. I'm a little embarrassed to see your parents."
"Okay," Zhou Dalin said, "I will ask Xiaoxiao to return to the provincial capital in two days and bring Tongtong back."
Then the conversation changed and he asked, "So, is it settled like this that you will help my mother teach students?"
"Hey, you said, I don't have the burden to teach you. I know I won't burden you. This child is very valuable now. What should I do if I burden other people's children?"
Zhou Dalin laughed and said, "You can't tell whether the children are tired or not, and whether they can persist? Then how did you train those new recruits? Aren't they just a few years older than these children?"
"It was different from now. Children back then could endure hardships," Lao Cheng argued.
Zhou Dalin said: "Well, I believe you know better than me. You don't need to teach you. You can do it yourself. There will be no problem. To put it bluntly, these children are usually over-nourished and have too much fat on their bodies, so they don't
The grades won't improve. You must have a way to lose the fat on these kids."
Hearing what he said, Lao Cheng felt uncertain again and said: "Look, I know that Wu Ying doesn't tell the truth and is a child from a poor family. How can a child from a poor family become a fat man?"
Zhou Dalin couldn't laugh or cry.
"I said, Dad, this is not the 1960s and 1970s. Nowadays, our country has become rich and powerful, and the people's material living standards have been greatly improved. Fat people do not mean rich. Really rich people have long stopped eating big fish and meat.
People pay attention to nutrition and calories. Look at why my mother controls meat when cooking. Isn’t it because she is afraid that you will gain weight? Think about what you are eating now? Green vegetables, crabs, prawns, clams, chestnut noodles and steamed buns.
, corn cobs, these are much more valuable than big fish and big meat.”
When Lao Cheng thought about it, it was really like this.
"You're talking about Wu Ying. She's following the trend in doing this. I asked her to buy ribs and stew them. I've been telling her for a week, but she hasn't gotten me a single bone. She also told me that the price of ribs has increased. Wait.
I’ll buy it when it’s cheaper in two days, my emotions are fooling me here!”
He complained.
"Isn't my mother doing it for your own good?" Zhou Dalin enlightened him and said, "She is a sharp-tongued person, and her words are unpleasant, but when it comes to business, she is really good to you. You can't help but admit this, right?"
Lao Cheng was speechless after hearing this.
