Chapter 250 Another Salary Payment

Producing vehicle air conditioners is a challenge for the country. Because not to mention the air conditioners used in cars, the air conditioners used in the rooms are not said to be non-existent, and they all rely on imports. And some of them are installed on important occasions, and they are not traditional household air conditioners. It's more like a machine for cooling the temperature.

So I have to say that Teacher Hu Ping is a talented person. After having the compressor designed by Luo Cheng, according to Luo Cheng's idea, he applied for someone to drive him to the capital city of the province. The purpose of going there was simple. The librarian in Ngee Ann couldn't find the industrial books he wanted. He had to go to the central librarian in the provincial capital city to find them.

He didn't know whether the provincial capital city here had the books Hu Ping wanted, but he knew there were in Amado. If you can't find it here, you'll have to have it mailed over.

Fortunately, it went smoothly. I found the books I wanted in the provincial capital city here. After checking the records, I came back on the same day.

Then, with the cooperation of Director Zhao's military industry workshop, a simple refrigeration machine was built. The compressor uses water to evaporate and cool. Because of the current weather, we wanted to test the effect, so we brought the machine to the kitchen and used it next to the stove for cooking at noon.

The cooling effect of the machine is indeed there, but it can only be said that it is barely effective. This machine is too crudely made, with only evaporative cooling, no drainage facilities, and no power adjustment. It really has all kinds of shortcomings.

But no matter how bad it was, Luo Cheng also saw that it was somewhat similar to the structure of a water air conditioner, using a large amount of water for cooling. Because the water reserve for cooling the machine was almost visible to the naked eye, and it was obviously not sprayed, so the pipes used to cool the gas immediately formed a dripping shape around them.

Luo Cheng saw that this was the problem. He didn't know how to produce machines, but he was an expert when it came to the problem. He directly said that it was a coolant problem. Although adding water can achieve a cooling effect, water evaporates poorly, so a coolant must be used. Of course, coolant is used in refrigerators to achieve low-temperature refrigeration. For air conditioners, you have to use Freon, a gas coolant, which is different from that used in refrigerators.

Anyway, Luo Cheng only needed to point out the direction. Once he explained the principle, Teacher Hu Ping understood it. The faster an item evaporates and cools, the easier it is to produce a refrigeration effect. So it doesn’t matter whether the refrigeration item is liquid or gas. The boiling point and cooling point of water are too high, and the effect is slow.

Why are water-type refrigeration and air conditioners of later generations not used in homes, and even later on, companies were not even allowed to use them. It is because of poor efficiency that it saves electricity, but the cooling effect is slow, and a well must be dug and pressure lifting equipment must be installed. Water air conditioners must always have enough water for evaporative cooling. What is pumped is clean groundwater, and the discharged water is basically discharged casually due to cost issues.

Before there was any awareness of environmental protection in China, water air conditioners were popular in enterprises and units for some time. Although the efficiency is not as good as that of fluoride-added air conditioners, it saves electricity. You must know that in the 1980s and 1990s, when China was undergoing rapid reform and development, there were often power shortages and power outages.

Luo Cheng proposed the research and development direction, and Teacher Hu was responsible for improvements. There was no need for a system to sign in at all. There was no system to sign in, and he didn't have to learn about the refrigeration system. After building an engine and learning the principles of engines for nearly twenty days, Luo Cheng studied the principles of air compression for another week.

Although there is no entertainment life in this era, studying is actually a way to relax. But Luo Cheng was really fed up. He didn't make any progress in later generations, and he has only made so much progress in this era. He is the director of the factory, and his original intention of building a car is just for better enjoyment in the future.

Just when Teacher Hu was about to make new improvements, the automobile factory ushered in the day that the workers were looking forward to. It was the 28th again, and wages had to be paid.

Wages are fixed and come every month. What everyone is looking forward to is what benefits the factory will pay each month.

Speaking of welfare, Director Zhang has been very busy recently. The automobile factory has extra grain, and the news leaked out long ago when he went to the grain station to collect grain. Moreover, the automobile factory did not deliberately hide it, and it could not hide it. The automobile factory now has more than 1,600 workers, and it is still recruiting workers. It is just a little slower. There is no money to buy equipment, and the new factory building is not enough. We need to recruit a large number of people, but the current situation does not allow it.

Among the more than 1,600 people, no matter whether they have just joined the factory or not, officially or temporarily, there is not one person who has given up on buying the quota rations within the factory. So even if the factory doesn't talk about it internally, the workers can't help but show off to the outside world. The most important thing these days is food. No matter how much other miscellaneous bills are issued, it can't solve the problem of hunger.

So in Ngee Ann, what are the best jobs? Salesperson at a supply and marketing cooperative, car driver, and then car factory employee. No matter what kind of employee you are, even if you are a sweeper, you will still receive many benefits. The best thing is to be a driver in a car factory. Drivers are popular, and even more popular is being a driver in a car factory.

Drivers at the bus station can make extra money, but the bus station itself has no benefits. The drivers in the automobile factory are both internal and external, and the cars in the automobile factory are all improved, and the cars are easier to drive than those older models. However, the automobile factory only has five trucks, and the others are three-wheeled trucks. The drivers of the three-wheeled trucks are a little bit worse, they don't carry much, and they don't travel long distances. But it is also easy to get started, unlike a large truck driver, who takes a long time to learn and the requirements are high.

Director Zhang has been busy recently. He is not busy going to other factories to find things to give workers benefits, but choosing benefits. Nowadays, most of the workers in the automobile factory are temporary apprentices, so on average, if it weren't for the high-level technical workers on Director Zhao's side, the per capita purchase of grain might not exceed 20 kilograms. So of the 80 tons of grain, there are actually more than 60 tons in the warehouse.

This grain has been targeted by many people, even the grain station is jealous. The grain station has grain, but it belongs to the country and cannot be messed up or wronged. Even if it's a small move, it's just a little bit of wastage in private. A grain station can have a small treasury like other enterprises, but it cannot have a small grain warehouse.

Hydropower station, please take care of me, you have food. Even if Director Zhang is lower than the hydropower station director, people will still call you big brother. These days, if you have food, you are the boss, whether it is an individual or a company.

As long as we sell some grain to the hydropower station, the water supply and power supply will be guaranteed first. If that doesn't work, we will run the water and electricity pipes for you separately. When the region undergoes hydropower renovation, it will not affect the automobile factory. And they are just buying it, not giving it away for free. People don't dare to ask for more. One employee can only buy five kilograms. There are not as many employees in hydropower stations as there are in automobile factories.

People from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau also came to ask for alms. Didn't you build a new office? The telephone lines are up. It doesn't matter if the office building is not completed yet. The wires should be pulled first, and you can make calls as soon as the landline is powered on.

Those in the fishery industry cannot provide fish now, and coupled with the lack of water in the past two years, the fishery industry has been seriously affected. But the impact is serious. Except for some large rivers and reservoirs where fish can be obtained, there are basically no small fish ponds. This fish has become particularly valuable in the past two years. This is not the New Year, we can’t take care of everything, but there are some key enterprises and units in the city, and how heavy are these ‘key points’. It doesn’t depend on your ability.

And over there in Longjin Town, chickens and ducks have stopped laying eggs at all, and the automobile factory has to recycle them. It was agreed before that if they only pay for recycling, they might as well eat it themselves. Although this chicken and duck originally only received money from a large team, it was just an IOU, but ordinary people would not think so much. They knew that if they didn't ask for tickets, they could sell it to the pigeon market for a lot more.

Therefore, this chicken and duck recycling, automobile factories also use grain recycling. But the problem is that the breeding sheds of the automobile factory cannot raise so many chickens and ducks, and it is not easy to handle them all at once. Simply let the town keep it for a few more days, and when the car factory pays wages, it will be delivered one day in advance and be paid directly as New Year's benefits.

You must know that after wages are paid this month, there will only be about 20 days to celebrate the New Year. Some people are just waiting for the wages to prepare New Year's goods.

But the chickens and ducks in Longjin Town are not enough for the current factory workers. In addition, when we promised to recycle it before, we would take care of the police station in Chengdong District. There aren't many people at the police station, but dozens of them have to pass by. The automobile factory has also arranged some food for the police station, not only from the east side of the city, but also from the west side of the city, which is also very interesting. If there is any security incident in the future, you can be tougher when asking others to do things.

The street office, transportation bureau, transportation station, local personnel department, and finance department all need food to manage. It will be very convenient to do things in the future. And these are all small jobs, after all, local units have many employees. The real ones are some powerful companies with many employees. They either don't speak up, but when they do speak up, they do a lot.

When it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation, the Meat Factory is just one word: the smell of pork or the smell of rice. Although they don't sell their meat to you just because they want to, they have a plan, but this plan has a certain range. For example, when recruiting workers in later generations, the wages range from a few thousand to a few thousand or tens of thousands, with a minimum and a maximum. This also depends on the size of the factory. There are fewer workers in a match factory, but matches can be compared with those in a garment factory. Therefore, the size of workers is one aspect, and their importance is also another aspect.

There are also textile factories, which all say that food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided. You have food for food and clothing, and I have cloth for warmth and coldness. Mutually beneficial, there are defective cloths every month, and the workers in the textile factory are not very rare about this stuff, and they will exchange it for other things.

As soon as the meat factory and textile factory opened their mouths, the number of people in their factories was there. Even if one person could get five kilograms, more than ten tons of food would be gone.

Recently, grain is being pulled out from the factory every day, ranging from one or two sacks of several hundred kilograms to several tons. These more than sixty tons of grain were produced without any hassle.

Luo Cheng's father, Luo Wen, when he was still on the 27th, specially led a team to the automobile factory to deliver chickens and ducks. Four tractors packed all the chickens and ducks in cages. A lot of people came, including the new vice-captain of the first brigade and the vice-captain of the second brigade.

Because Luo Wen has become the director of the economic cooperative, people from the second brigade have been trying to get close to him recently. This cooperative is equivalent to the cooperative in the entire town. Next year, chickens, ducks and pigs will be raised, and even vegetables will be supplied. All these are side businesses. I need to take the second brigade with me.

And Rowan was from the First Brigade, and everyone in his family was also in the First Brigade. Even the mayor and secretary had to turn a blind eye to the matter of taking care of relatives.

This time they were recycling chickens and ducks. They heard that the money from the sales could be used to buy grain without tickets. The second brigade hoped that the cooperative would borrow some grain. We owe it to the cooperative, not to a large team. Compared with the first team now, the gap between the second team and the first team is really not small. In the past, when we recycled chicken and duck eggs, we brought back a lot of coarse grains. Although it was only 400 kilograms at a time, it was 6,000 kilograms of grain in a month.

In addition, the feed is mixed with cereals, and the money earned from the wooden pallets also allowed the people in the commune to find connections to buy some emergency food. The people taken in by the second brigade also relied on the emergency food they bought, and the money was the profits earned by the first brigade and turned over. Compared with a large team, there is no extra income, and emergency rations are in vain.

Now the deputy captains of the first and second brigade are all obeying Luo Wen's orders. The second brigade wants to borrow food now, so they have to find their own way in their positions. As the director of the cooperative, it would be inappropriate not to take care of the second brigade. What's more, this grain is also borrowed and will be repaid during next autumn's harvest.

There are more than 1,300 chickens and ducks this time, and the average price per chicken is about 1.5 yuan, or about 2,000 yuan. As for the money owed to the automobile factory, the original agreement was to pay it back in half a year, but since the eggs were no longer laid, the villagers were reluctant to keep the money for about one or two months in vain. After deducting the money earned from selling eggs, the car factory actually doesn't need to pay much.

It's called recycling, but the money was originally paid by the car factory in advance. Even if you gain some weight, how much money will come and go? In total, they only lay eggs for less than two months, and the villagers can only earn some money from chickens and duck eggs.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng was generous and gave his father some face. The price of the wooden pallet was worth a little of the chicken and duck account. They were asked to haul four tons of grain, which means one tractor could hold ten bags of grain. It will be warm in the spring next year, so we need to raise chicks. The township can get a breeding certificate for the chicks and buy them directly from the poultry factory. It will be cheaper then, and there is no need to go to the car factory to pay for the chicks on credit.

Therefore, on the 28th, the day when wages are paid, the automobile factory feels like it is a holiday.

The meat factory directly slaughtered four big fat pigs, which together weighed one thousand kilograms. This is all due to the "collusion" between the two grain factories.

It was killed on the afternoon of the 27th and delivered very early the next morning. The people from the security department saw that the pork was coming from the meat factory and let it go quickly.

Master He is now the director of the canteen, and his own team has recruited another master chef. Since the position of canteen director has been set up, he must be responsible for the director's responsibilities, and he cannot cook in the kitchen every day. The canteen director is responsible for the food supply, sanitation, and facilities in the kitchen.

Now the cafeteria includes Director He, which means there are four chefs with good skills. Of course, there are also other cooking chefs, but their skills are just average. In the kitchen, there is a main and auxiliary stove, otherwise if the chef needs to take a break, there will be no one to take over.

Pigs are ready-made, with various parts available. The meat weighs a thousand kilograms today, with all the water and bones removed. A lot less. In addition, there are many people in the factory now, and the meat must be cut into even sizes as last time. How much is the temporary apprenticeship, how much is the regular worker, and how much is the leadership subsidy. This must all be calculated clearly.

As for the bones and the like, they were given priority to the security department, who had to schedule inspections at night, and it was freezing cold. Let the kitchen make soup for them for free in the past few days. No matter how much there is, the injured or those with sick people at home will be given priority to buy them. According to the market, the price is 15 cents per pound.

The engineers should share a little bit of pork head meat. These days, it’s important to eat what you eat to make up for it. Engineers are people with brains, so they’ll eat the head.

Of course, you have to pay for meat, which is obtained in exchange for grain, and it is the automobile factory that loses money. You don't need to pay for the meat, and you can ask the master chef to cook it for you. If you want to buy it or not, you won't buy it, but some people will buy it.

Of course, this is not a real benefit. The real benefits are still free, and defective cloth, rice bran and soybean meal are still available this month. Chickens and ducks are the real welfare, and automobile factories don’t have time to help workers slaughter chickens and ducks. Directly, the regular workers get one for each person, the temporary apprentices get one and a half for each person, and the two temporary apprentices get one jointly. As a temporary apprentice, I really couldn't find someone to take it with me, so I asked the kitchen to help butcher it, but I had agreed to let the canteen kitchen help, and the chicken hearts, duck hearts and livers were given to the people in the canteen.

Soap is not as stingy as other factories, only invoices are issued. The car factory directly distributed soap, and one person was also given a towel. Regular workers were also given a few extra tickets to encourage everyone to work hard to become regular workers. The benefits of formal employment are not only great, but they also have to be taken care of by me.

The workshop director who was voted out among the group leaders was even rewarded with a large ticket. For example, the repair shop is considered an old shop and is given bicycle tickets, and the machine shop, which has many experienced technicians, is also given bicycle tickets. But there are many young men in the assembly workshop, so sewing tickets are naturally given.

As for Director Zhao, he was given bicycle tickets at the beginning and was rewarded with radio tickets. This workshop is full of older masters who have money and may listen to whatever they like in their free time.

Anyway, the benefits of the automobile factory are really rich. In addition, there was an internal food purchase quota. After this month, if there are several people working in this factory, they will really have to take home a lot of things.

Temporary apprentices can receive chickens, ducks, defective cloth, rice bran and soybean meal, soap, and towels for free, as well as small items such as match tickets, and regular workers can receive tickets for water cups, cigarettes, and the like. There is meat that can be purchased in the canteen, but the price is really the cost price, the quantity is limited, and it is no different from welfare.

Some people who had just started reporting were as confused as when they were paid wages and benefits last month. Especially those who come to work after the 25th. In this case, they have only worked for one or two days and their wages are not worth a penny, because the calculation of wages is stopped on the 25th. But it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a salary, you’ll get a lot of benefits every cent.

Last month, some lathe operators were still laughing and laughing at themselves after receiving benefits. They said that because of the transfer, they were delayed for a day in the old factory and reported to the automobile factory one day late. They received less and got more things.

This time the car factory paid wages and benefits, which really caused quite a stir in Ngee Ann again. Team Leader Jiang and the others, who had just arrived as deputy director, officially joined the automobile factory. There are also Director Wu and dozens of skilled workers who only assist in the automobile factory.

Factory Director Wu and the people he brought here did not receive wages or benefits, but the meat was given to them for free today, and the workers had to spend money to buy it.

Speaking to the outside world, unemployed young people outside the XC area may have connections, so they should try their best to use their connections and use their talents to arrange for employment in automobile factories.
