Return To 1977 Chapter 607: Different

To be honest, in terms of welfare housing allocation, "Polar Bear" did not have any advantages over other units in the past.
Because there is no other way, where is the room and space to move? You have to try your best to build a good relationship with the housing management office, hoping that they can take more care of you.
But things are different now. There are policies from above. All thanks to April’s “Great Man’s Talk on Construction and Housing Issues.”
The "Polar Bear" has a legitimate reason to respond to the above call and can rely on its own funds to build new buildings to solve the housing problem of employees.
The new building has now broken ground. It is located in the southeast corner of the factory. According to the plan, it will build three six-story buildings with four unit doors.
Seriously, how many factories in Beijing can have such great capabilities? For example, the Municipal Grain Bureau, Commerce Bureau, First Light Bureau, and Second Light Bureau are nothing more than similar architectural plans.
That is, I am afraid that other units will be jealous, and the factory area is not large enough, so I really can't find a place. Otherwise, "Polar Bear" could build three more buildings. Then at least half of the current employees can move into new homes.
But even so, this is enough for internal employees to cheer.
Because everyone believes that as long as the work is done well. Relying on the strength of "Polar Bear", it will be easy to solve the problem of housing for everyone. Their new house is just around the corner, not far ahead.
As for the arrangement further down, it is the allocation of in-demand commodities unique to the planned economy period.
At that time, because many commodities needed to be purchased with tickets, tickets for industrial products were issued to employees by their units.
In addition to the general "industrial coupons", there are also special tickets such as "bicycle tickets", "sewing tickets", "TV tickets" and "refrigerator tickets".
Lots are usually used to allocate money, depending on who is lucky, which is essentially the same as the current car lottery.
Of course, in addition, meat, eggs, cooking oil and other foods that are difficult to buy outside are also distributed on a per capita basis.
As now, some units still retain the practice of giving each employee a five-liter barrel of cooking oil during holidays, which is roughly a continuation of this traditional welfare.
I really have to say here that whether it is industrial products or food, "Polar Bear" has unique advantages.
This is all because "Polar Bear" is the "son" of "Yi Qingju".
The jurisdiction of the "First Light Bureau" includes food, brewing, papermaking, glass, daily chemicals, musical instruments, optical glasses, electric light sources, lamps, pen making, clocks, sewing machines, bicycles, light industrial machinery, and enamel , ceramics and cigarettes, and more than a dozen industries, involving hundreds of manufacturers, more than a thousand products, and nearly 10,000 colors.
The products are mainly daily consumer goods, which are most closely related to people's lives, and cover almost all categories of light industrial products that are in short supply.
Since there are so many awesome brother units, what do you want?
For example, for workers working in "Polar Bear", bicycles have long been popular. Except for those who can’t ride a bicycle, almost everyone has one. The watch is even more basic. For other industrial products, the market share is much higher than that of other factories.
When soap was most scarce in the first two years, there was no shortage of "Polar Bear" employees. For example, during this year's beer shortage, Polar Bear's employees were given half a dozen bottles of "Five Star" beer to each employee twice during the summer.
It is even more commonplace to share fish, meat, eggs, fruits, peanuts, rice, and flour during festivals.
So much so that as soon as something is delivered, people from "Polar Bear" leave the factory and are always asked by passers-by where they bought it. At this time, when it is said that the work unit gives it, everyone will envy it, it is so face-saving.
Yes, there are also free sodas and popsicles available in the summer. Of course, those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first.
The only regret is that some units give one to two weeks of high temperature vacation in summer. This kind of benefit "polar bears" will never be able to enjoy. They must be busier as the weather gets hotter.
Finally, coupled with the reimbursement of heating expenses for one winter, this completes the welfare package for most enterprises and institutions.
But don't be busy. This is not over yet, "Polar Bears" also have several unique benefits of their own.
The first is to reimburse the monthly ticket fee in full.
Anyone whose family residence is far away from their workplace enjoys this benefit.
How far is this further distance? Buses are located at four stops and above. As long as the address exceeds this range, employees can take the bus for free every month.
The second is entertainment benefits.
Considering that employees’ spare time cultural life is monotonous and boring, young people are full of energy but have nowhere to spend time, and often feel too idle and bored.
In order to enrich the amateur cultural life of employees, "Polar Bear" often invites film screening teams to show outdoor movies. The location is in the open space of the sports field of the unit, a white screen is hung, the wires are pulled up, the projector is set up, and the show starts as soon as it gets dark.
Today, an additional item has been added, that is, two TV sets have been purchased in the staff activity room. One in black and white and one in color, open every evening. Employees can watch the TV program until it ends.
In fact, there are other things such as getting some movie theater tickets, or going to the theater to watch Peking Opera, and reimbursing a certain amount of book and newspaper fees, but that is the treatment of cadres.
Third, "Polar Bear" also has its own free nursery.
In order to relieve the worries of dual-income workers. "Polar Bear" specially set aside several rooms in the factory area. Several female staff were arranged to take care of these children full-time.
The factory is rich. The facilities are actually no worse than regular kindergartens. There are beds, stools, tables and chairs, toys, little books, and slides, swivel chairs, and swings outside the house.
The canteen will prepare special meals for children. Most of them are noodles, steamed buns, dumplings and porridge without onion and ginger.
And nurseries don’t just take care of preschool children. For example, children who have already gone to school will not be supervised after school in the afternoon. You can also come here to do homework and read short stories. Waiting for my parents to come home from get off work.
How friendly and humane. If nothing else, this solves the big problem of clear water. It's such an unexpected surprise.
To sum it up, being an employee of "Polar Bear" is different from working in other places.
There are many welfare items like these. Today, they may seem trivial, a bit ridiculous, or a bit unbelievable. But to be honest, people outside are jealous of earning double the salary.
After all, the historical conditions are here. This is the era of planned economy, commodity trading is too underdeveloped, and many things can only be solved by the government and work units. "Polar Bear" can do this and be worthy of its employees, which is almost close to communism.
It is precisely because these benefits are excellent. Only employees will be proud and proud, and they will hold their chests and heads high when entering and exiting the factory. When out and about, who wouldn’t treat someone differently when they call themselves a “polar bear”? This company is awesome.
Thus, this also plays a role in stabilizing the team, attracting talents, and uniting efforts.
So, knowing this, these young people who just came to report today can't be happy. Before they even started working, they felt a real sense of honor as employees of "Polar Bear".
To be honest, it has a more practical promotion effect than leadership encouragement and factory history education.
But despite having said this, there is one extremely important benefit that Zhao Honglin did not mention.
What? The standard of food in the staff canteen.
Then why?
The reason is quite simple. It won’t be noon soon. No matter how nice it is, hearing it a hundred times is worse than seeing it once.
Wouldn’t it be better to let these six newcomers experience it for themselves than anything else?
