Chapter 242 Stay in the factory for the New Year

Many workers wander around all year round and work hard for their livelihoods. Only during the Chinese New Year can they go home, reunite with their families for a few days, and spend the New Year together.

After the New Year, I dare not feel the warmth of my family for a long time, and I have to leave in a hurry and continue to work hard for my livelihood.

This is a great era of transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial society.

In this great era, countless small people, like animals in nature, left their hometowns, and went to a foreign land thousands of miles away to make a living.

My hometown is becoming more and more unfamiliar, and my foreign land is becoming more and more familiar. Many times, it makes people unable to tell whether I am in my hometown or in a foreign land, and I don’t know where I will convert to the end.

There is a word called Spring Festival travel.

These two words contain countless joys and sorrows in this great era.

Many people can only find that sense of belonging during the Spring Festival travel rush and when they go home for the New Year.

Going home for the New Year has become a belief for most Chinese people.

Now that Liu Qing told them that they could not go home for the New Year this year, they would of course be anxious.

Fortunately, everyone's opposition is not particularly fierce.

Because the salary paid by this factory is quite high, the food and accommodation of them can be paid 6,000 or 7,000 yuan a month, and some work overtime can even 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. They have a great impression of this prodigal boss.

If there is no fierce opposition, it will still be objection.

Ma Guoming was a little anxious, and he didn't know why Liu Qing said such things.

Liu Qing and others said almost the same thing, then said:

"Everyone, just be quiet and listen to me."

He, the boss, still has a little prestige in the minds of the workers. After speaking, the voices of opposition also stopped.

Liu Qing said: "I know going home for the New Year is very important to everyone, but this year is really a special situation."

"Why is it special?" someone asked.

"The epidemic," Liu Qing said, "I don't know if you have followed the news, but now there is an epidemic."

Some people don’t pay attention to this, but some people will pay attention to it.

Someone asked, "Aren't there only a few dozen? There is no need to make a fuss, right?"

"At present, only dozens of patients have been detected, not only dozens of patients, and many patients have not been discovered. This is the most dangerous." Liu Qing said.

As he said that, he added: "Such patients have been found in Siam."

Those people gasped.

Liu Qing said: "There are two considerations for letting you stay here for the New Year. One is that now the epidemic has occurred. No one knows how many people have such a disease and how transmissible the disease is. You are likely to be infected during the process of going back and forth. Another possibility is that the epidemic broke out and traffic is blocked. After you go back, you will not be able to come back to work."

"One of the other considerations is that this is a respiratory infectious disease. If the epidemic breaks out across the country, the demand for masks will be very high. We are making masks, so I won't talk about whether to make money or not. At such a moment, we produce one more mask, which can add some strength to the fight against the epidemic. In this regard, I also hope that you can stay. There are benefits for both the country and the people."

Those people listened to the previous words.

But they didn't believe what happened later, and they all thought:

"What's wrong? You set the price and want to sell the mask?"

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Liu Qing say:

"I also know that there is some inhumaneness to let you stay here for the New Year and continue to start work. I should make some compensation for you. I think so. Starting today, in the next month, in addition to the normal working salary, everyone, every day, I will give you an additional 200 yuan subsidy for the New Year. For those who stay here for the New Year, each person will give you another 2,000 yuan New Year red envelope - this coexist with the year-end bonus."

Many workers suddenly felt that it seemed that it was OK to stay here for the New Year.

The daily overtime subsidy of 200 yuan will be distributed for one month, which is 6,000 yuan.

Adding to the New Year red envelope of 2,000 yuan, that is 8,000 yuan.

Moreover, during the period when I stayed, my daily salary was still paid as usual. According to normal standards, this was another few thousand yuan.

The travel expenses for the return trip home for the New Year and the various consumptions for the New Year are another big sum of money.

Once you count inside and out, you can spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan more.

Although I lost the opportunity to reunite with my family, being able to spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan more can also give my family a better life.

If you don’t spend money, if you exist there, you will have more guarantees in the future.

Especially those employees in this village live in this village, and there is no such thing as going home for the New Year.

I was very happy to spend so much extra money out of thin air.

Ma Guoming looked at Liu Qing in horror: the masks cannot be sold, and the warehouse is almost full. You have to add more money to them to let them continue to produce masks during the Chinese New Year. What is this to do?

He felt that Liu Qing was crazy about this matter.

However, he is the boss and he is willing to pay the money to break the stock, so he will not persuade him to come.

After Liu Qing finished speaking, the workers expressed their opinions:

"Since the epidemic is so serious, let's stay here for the New Year."

"What the boss said makes sense. I won't go home for the New Year this year, so I'll talk about it next year."

"Why don't you go home during the Qingming Festival..."

"At the time of the epidemic, we mask workers should also make a contribution to the country."

Listening to these reasonable statements, Liu Qing was quite pleased: "The masses' awareness is quite high. If they are asked to stay, they are all staying."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he once again emphasized the issues of fire safety, so that everyone must pay attention to it.

There are hundreds of millions of masks stored in the warehouse and so many raw materials.

According to the price they quote now, it is worth hundreds of millions.

If a fire is gone, who can I explain it to?

Using money ability to solve the problem of mask factory workers staying in the factory for the New Year, Liu Qing put down the last stone in his heart.

There are enough raw materials and enough machines, and all the workers stayed. After the outbreak of the epidemic, they also had the conditions to explode production capacity.

Otherwise, most of the workers would go home for the New Year, and only a few of the workers recruited in the village worked here, and most of the production capacity would be idle, and once idle, it would take more than a month, which would be a pity.

After returning home, I suddenly thought that the 16th was the deadline for the voting of the top ten young entrepreneurs in Pengcheng in the year. Today is the 15th, and I don’t know how the votes are.

After clicking into the official account and looking at it, Liu Qing was shocked - his votes actually reached more than 50,000, more than 30,000 more than the second place, and he was ahead of the crowd and was far ahead.

"I'm going to win the championship!"
