Chapter 1455

After finishing the serious business, Zhou Andong gave instructions: "The New Year is coming soon. Arrange things well at the research institute. For those who want to go home, send cars for those nearby, and have those far away take planes; the factory will reimburse them."

Liu Liu Qingjun said: "I told the old director about this a week ago. After all, they've been here for several months, and for such a big New Year, we have to let people have a reunion. I was thinking of letting them go on vacation early.

But the old director said that the research and development of key technologies for some projects has reached a critical moment and cannot be delayed. So the young people who have wives, husbands, and children can go back, and those without partners will stay with them old guys."

Zhou Andong felt a sigh in his heart; the older generation of this era, their thoughts are truly selfless.

That kind of spirit of dedication and social responsibility has become a belief in their hearts.

Zhou Andong believes that even if he hadn't offered such generous salaries, these old men...

As long as they were allowed to stand in the laboratory, as long as they were given a bite to eat, they wouldn't have a single complaint.

It is precisely the spirit of dedication of this older generation that has laid the foundation for China's modernization.

It is also the faith in the hearts of this older generation that has become a huge force pushing Chinese society forward.

If there were no selfless contributions from predecessors like Qian Xuesen, Hua Luogeng, Zhou Peiyuan, Deng Jiaxian, Qian Sanqiang, and others.

No one would know where China's future would go.

"If they don't go back, bring their families over and let them have a reunion New Year at the electronics factory. Send cars to pick up those nearby, and have those far away come by plane. You can handle this when you go back. There are still six days, so time is still ample."

Liu Liu Qingjun said with some difficulty: "Other things are easy to say, but where will so many people live? And eating, the electronics factory cafeteria can't hold them either."

Zhou Andong asked: "How many people want to go home for the New Year?"

Liu Liu Qingjun gave a wry smile: "None, they all requested to stay."

Zhou Andong scratched his head; there are already over three thousand researchers in the research institute.

The cafeteria of the research institute is indeed big enough, but it also has to be divided into time slots for meals.

If all the family members are brought to Jiangzhou for the New Year, the children of the old men come, do the grandchildren need to come?

As for the young people, their spouses and children will come, but what about their parents?

There must be some who can't come for various reasons, but even if one person comes from each family, it's already six or seven thousand people.

The place to live is easy to say; find hotels and guesthouses in advance, and no matter how many people come, they can be arranged.

It's just that the New Year's Eve dinner is not easy to arrange; we can only find a few more restaurants, book a few dozen tables at each restaurant, and have everyone eat separately.

It's just that now it's not like later generations, where those who don't want to cook at home all book tables at restaurants for New Year's Eve dinner.

Even if he has this idea now, he has to have restaurants willing to receive them.

Even if the boss receives them for money, the chefs and waiters will curse him to death.

"Sigh!"

Zhou Andong sighed, feeling that it's better to forget it; why look for this trouble?

But those people are treasures; even if they are given high salaries, they must be made to feel the warmth of the group.

"Old Liu!" Zhou Andong stated his plan.

Liu Liu Qingjun pondered for a moment: "This is the only way, and I have to hurry and let people contact the restaurants; don't wait until everyone is on vacation, that would be troublesome."

"I don't think there's any need to go to a restaurant," Jian Qiu spoke up: "Everyone has to be on vacation on New Year's Eve. The research institute cafeteria, electronics factory cafeteria, Jiangzhou Yugong Wine new factory cafeteria, Jiang Jiang Xiaobai cafeteria, Xurishi cafeteria, and brewery cafeteria are completely enough.

The dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner will be arranged uniformly by the group and purchased centrally. At that time, give each cafeteria head chef a 1,000 red envelope, and the deputy chef a 600 one. For the cutters and waiters, give them 300, and they will definitely agree happily."

Liu Liu Qingjun said with a smile: "This method is good, and it saves me worry."

"Then it's decided."

Zhou Andong nodded, stood up, walked to the desk, grabbed the phone, and called the logistics department.

He stated the matter and asked them to come up with a menu as soon as possible and then purchase.

After all, it's a New Year's Eve dinner for nearly ten thousand people, and the purchase volume is too large, so they have to start moving today.

"Then that's it." Liu Liu Qingjun stood up and said: "I'm going back; I have to arrange to contact the researchers' families as soon as possible."

"Thousands of people, how much time will it waste if you contact them one by one?" Zhou Andong said: "Let the old director notify them, let them call home themselves, and confirm how many people are coming.

Then report the home address and identity information to the factory, and you just need to compile the statistics. For those nearby, such as Beijing, count how many people there are.

Just rent a bus in Beijing, unify the location and time, let the bus wait there, and the family members can go there themselves. As for those further away, take a plane, and we will reimburse them."

Liu Liu Qingjun left. Zhou Andong sat beside Jian Qiu, picked up the newspaper and flipped through it, and an article caught his eye.

March 1, 1994, implemented the 1+2 vacation system. Employees work eight hours a day, an average of 44 hours per week.

That is, every big weekend, rest for two days on Saturday and Sunday, and for the small weekend, only rest for one day on Sunday.

Zhou Andong was in a daze for a while. This is a trial of the two-day weekend. He remembered that in his previous life, after the 1+2 vacation system was implemented, on the first two-day weekend, when resting on Saturday.

Many people didn't have the consciousness of a two-day weekend, rushed to the unit early in the morning as usual, and then realized it. Another thing is that some people didn't feel particularly relaxed during the first two-day weekend, but felt very boring, staying at home and not knowing what to do.

Others felt that the two-day weekend was more tiring at home, washing clothes, tidying up the room, and there was endless work every day. In the past, when resting only on Sunday, they didn't feel there was so much work at home.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Zhou Andong holding the newspaper in a daze, Jian Qiu asked curiously.

Zhou Andong came back to his senses and handed the newspaper to Jian Qiu: "Take a look, the country is going to implement the 1+2 vacation system."

"The five-day work week has been studied for several years, and it's finally out, and it's still a trial."

Jian Qiu took the newspaper to look at it and tossed it aside.

"What's there to trial about this? Just implement it directly. Who doesn't want to rest an extra day at home every week?"

"That's true." Zhou Andong nodded: "It would be better to work for two days and rest for five."

Jian Qiu giggled: "Then you're dreaming."

Zhou Andong also smiled: "I reckon it won't take long before the two-day weekend is officially implemented."

As soon as his voice fell, the phone on the desk rang.

He stood up, walked over, picked up the phone and said: "Hello, I am Zhou Andong."

"Chairman Zhou!"

The other party was a man, his voice carried a hint of exhaustion, but his tone had an indescribable ease.

"I am Zhi Wanshan!"

A smile appeared on Zhou Andong's face; this call had finally been waited for.

"Arranged?"
