Chapter 325 Change a job?

Xinxing Group has the qualifications for railway construction and has long been drawing and measuring the Haicang base. At about the end of the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction of the railway dedicated line began.

The nearest railway line is about 50 kilometers away from Haicang. In addition to the part of the base, the main function of the railway line is to connect the railway line and the port terminal, so as to allow seamless transportation of goods in the base. After all, in addition to the chemical raw materials such as ethylene and methanol in the pipeline, the finished products made by these raw materials still need transportation channels.

Compared with railways, the construction of highways and ports is much faster. Two years ago, when Sucheng came to Haicang, he saw emerging groups using uniform steps to do three-way and one-level projects. The port plan was also participated by Dahua Industrial, which is part of their "early construction". Regardless of whether this strategy has effect in the voting and has played a role, at least it has played a role now, especially the overweight and super-large mechanical equipment, which can often be easily sent to Haicang base for installation, touching the technicians of BASF Company to tears.

The tall German man said embarrassedly: "We just installed a rubber vulcanization device in Ghana. It was 150 kilometers from the port to the destination. We walked for a whole week. We only spent one day in a hotel, and we could only sleep on the road with the convoy..."

After listening to the translation, Shu Lan felt sad for the people, and said curiously: "If you don't have a business, don't do it. If you sleep in the wild, it will be very bad for your health."

There was an introduction before. The German man knew that Shu Lan was Sucheng's girlfriend and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "If the business is not easy, you have to continue to do it. What's the point of sleeping in the streets? One year, Haiti was rioting, and we went to install water purification devices for them. It was paid by a charity organization. As a result, he was trapped in the hotel for 13 days. There were gunfire outside every day, and the water and electricity were cut off later. People dared not go out, and those who installed purified water could not drink clean water..."

Shu Lan said frightenedly: "Since that's the case, why don't you change a job?"

The German man blinked for a long time and said helplessly: "I am good at this job."

"Oh, you must have been lazy when you were studying. Or like my brother, you can't go to school well. Every day when you go to school, you have to post slogans and shout slogans?" Shu Lan's tone was extremely sympathetic, and she turned her head and whispered: "Sucheng, you said that people in developed countries are also poor and rich. Did he be too poor when he was a child and could not afford to study? Now he can only work on the construction site?"

Right in front of them is the ethylene pipeline under construction. The pipe with a diameter thicker than a human needs to be hoisted in a crane with a small lifting combination. The process is not simple. The technicians and engineers are responsible for this. However, in terms of image, they are indeed working on the construction site. Except for the newer safety helmets and clothes, it is no different from the image of migrant workers in TV and movies at this time.

However, if we say that people do this job because they don’t study, Su Cheng really can’t say it.

The Germans had to defend themselves: "I studied engineering. I am a graduate of Aachen University of Technology and my grades rank within 10% of the class."

Yang Ming was worried that Shu Lan didn't understand, so he hurriedly explained: "One class is equal to our age, maybe two or three hundred people."

Shu Lan said oh, "That's the top 30 in the whole grade? No wonder you got the construction site. In fact, you might as well come to work in China, at least you don't have to travel frequently or go to dangerous countries."

The Germans lamented: Come to China is just a business trip, and China is a dangerous country!

But he didn't dare to say that, so he could only listen silently, his eyes kept patrolling the equipment, trying to find a place where the installation was inappropriate and escape from it.

However, Dahua's technicians and BASF engineers cooperated well, and there was no problem at all. Half a year ago, Dahua began to spend a lot of money to ask BASF to send people to train Dahua's employees. In addition, Dahua's own training base and ethylene simulation equipment and other devices, Dahua's technician level is comparable to those technicians who often install equipment.

Another point is that German equipment has an advantage, which is that the tolerance is so small that it is easy to install, and almost all spare parts can be used. Sometimes, workers can complete the installation work by looking at the installation instructions. Unlike some Chinese equipment, the tolerance is so large that screws cannot be universal. There are four or five types of screws on a 3-square-meter component surface. There are also hidden rules for installing some fasteners. If you are not from our factory, you will be exhausted and you will not find the secret to three left and three right, and you will be forced to twist it hard.

Although many old workers who have experienced sports age have not good skills, they can do well as long as they remember enough unspoken rules. They rely on different secrets from different local state-owned enterprises to help.

Shulan then continued to chat with the Germans, and at the same time persuaded him to come to work in China.

As she spoke, the German man could only ask according to her words: "How much salary would I have if I came to China? My salary in Germany is more than $3,000."

The price is in US dollars because the exchange rate of the German mark has risen. Like the Japanese yen, Germany is also forced to appreciate, but it has not fallen to the point of Japan. Therefore, the purchasing power of German workers' salary is actually less than the purchasing power of US$3,000.

Shu Lan calculated silently and said, "In this case, your monthly salary will be RMB 15,000."

"And it is working five days a week, a statutory holiday." The German man said proudly.

When Sucheng heard this, he whispered: "Fenn. If you bring your team here, I will give you double the salary."

“$6,000?”

"You can pay your team's salary of $6,000." Su Cheng's meaning is naturally less than double the salary.

The Germans have no doubt about Sucheng's strength. The boss who can afford billions of dollars of equipment can naturally pay for more than 70,000 US dollars in annual salary. But he hesitated for a moment and asked: "I heard that China's salary is very low. Is it necessary for you to pay me such a high salary?"

Su Cheng saw his thoughts and said, "If you want to, you can sign a long-term contract and don't worry about me firing you later. As for whether it is necessary, I pay more than 50 million US dollars in training fees to BASF every year. If you can save me this money, there will be no problem."

"I am just an engineer and don't know so many techniques. Maybe the only ones that I am familiar with are drawings and welding..."

"Can you find people who are familiar with the technology?"

"This is not that easy..."

"You find something useful, and once we hire it, you will get a 10% commission. It doesn't matter if you are not from BASF, as long as it meets our requirements." If you want to say that the fastest way to increase technology is undoubtedly mergers and acquisitions and poaching. It takes several years to train a person, maybe decades, but it only takes several months to poach him, and saves training costs, which can be used to make labor wages.

China's private enterprises have always been the pioneers of poaching. As early as the 1980s, they were poaching state-owned large factories, but because of the iron job of state-owned enterprises, they did not poach state-owned enterprises in a mess. But since the 1990s, more and more private enterprises have succeeded in poaching state-owned enterprises with several times their salary. In fact, it was only 10 years earlier that Sucheng poached foreign companies.

Fein originally said casually, as if he was cooperating with the employer, but when Su Cheng said this, he was moved. He asked hesitantly: "Are you telling it the truth?"

"Of course, you find a suitable technician, I mean, if you have the technical level to catch up with the technicians who train our employees, I will give you a 10% salary, $6,000."

"10% of the annual salary." Fein could not suppress his greed now. German workers are very high in salary, spend a lot, and the salary increase is very small. At this point, they are very similar to state-owned enterprises. They live a good life but have little money to live, and have the opportunity to make extra money, which is quite exciting.

Moreover, at the age of Fein, he is easy to find a job. He went to China to make gold for a few years, then returned to China to find another job, and solved the problem of buying a car and a house. This is a way for many Germans to pursue financial freedom. The mercenaries before the war and the export workers after the war were all the same.

Fein has been in China for some days and knows that the consumption level here is very low. Even if he lives in a hotel, he can still have a lot of money left in a year. After paying taxes, he is probably higher than his original salary.

After thinking for a while, he whispered: "I have to discuss with my family."

Su Cheng nodded and said nothing. He mostly appeared in the manner of a boss in front of foreigners and spoke very little.

Shu Lan made a cheerful gesture and smiled and said, "You can continue studying, Germany has continuing education. You won't have to stay on the construction site all year round in the future."

Fein smiled bitterly and thought to himself: I have to go to the construction site if I have studied for a doctorate degree.

Su Cheng turned his attention further.

Dahua workers have successively installed 5 100,000 tons of methanol equipment, and have accumulated a lot of experience. In addition to their own training, this time, the ethylene equipment was forced to help with the Yangtze ethylene team sent by Sinopec, and the progress was very fast.

However, in order to prove yourself and attract investment, the current base is not obvious enough.

Su Cheng thought for a while, called Yang Ming and said, "You can discuss it. We will set a completion prize. Based on the current time, we will give you a bonus every day in advance. You will calculate the specific amount and show it to me."

At this time, the completion of the award is no longer new. Some engineering projects have begun to adopt this method. Complete the project as soon as possible will significantly increase Party A's profits. For Party B, it is always no harm to make more money. It can be regarded as a win-win situation in money.

However, for military enterprises including emerging groups, central enterprises such as Sinopec, foreign enterprises such as BASF Group, and countless large, medium and small Chinese engineering teams, it is indeed a matter of consideration to set an appropriate completion bonus.
