After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 214 Manager Selection

Half a minute later, the people in the cotton mill saw Shen Tang sitting at the top and were a little puzzled.

Ning Anhou came quite frequently when the cotton mill was first built, but he has not come very often since returning from the capital.

This time they suddenly gathered everyone together, and no one knew what it was about.

But looking at the uneasy look on Shen Tang's face at the top, it must not be a good thing.

The manager called out to everyone, and after everyone was present, he began to consult Shen Tang.

Shen Tang stood up and looked at the female workers standing in the yard.

From the beginning when there were only a dozen orphans in the charity hall, to now there are nearly a hundred women standing there, including teenage girls, young women in their twenties, and older women.

Most of them were from poor families. When Shen Tang was recruiting people, he specifically instructed that only women with difficult lives should be recruited.

But the Zhao Denan incident gave her a wake-up call.

These women live in hardship, and the problem cannot be solved by simply providing her with a job opportunity.

It is even possible that her family will rely on her and the situation will get worse.

These women have been taught since childhood to obey their husbands at home and after marriage.

Shen Tang looked carefully at the expressions of these women, and found that they were not even as good as the orphans who came in from the charity hall.

It can be seen that all the money earned in the cotton mill was sent home.

"It's been a while since you all entered the workshop, and I don't know how you feel about it. Shen Tang wants to hear your opinions."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Shen Tang meant by asking this question.

The scene suddenly became quiet and no one dared to speak.

"My Lord, I have been a shopkeeper in several shops, but none of them have ever been as good as our Tangji."

The steward spoke.

The manager's surname is Chen, and he is a man in his late forties. On weekdays, everyone calls him Manager Chen.

Manager Chen is resourceful in his work, but he is usually very friendly, so those young girls will also call him Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen has three sons, all of whom have grown up and now work in a cotton mill.

When Manager Chen was young, he worked as the owner of a large restaurant and even traveled around the country with a caravan.

But now that his sons have started their own families, he no longer stays away from home.

It just so happened that Ning'an Hou's cotton mill was recruiting, so he came, and he never expected that he would actually be selected.

Facts have also proved that Tangji Cotton Mill is really better than anything he has ever seen.

Not to mention anything else, just the most realistic thing is that the workers' wages are much higher than those of other companies.

The rest and other benefits are exactly the same as Tangji Soap Shop. There is rest time every month, and there are holiday allowances and holiday holidays during festivals.

Even when he first came to the cotton mill, his family happened to have a granddaughter, and the cotton mill gave him money to congratulate them.

With only four hours of working time every day, you can easily make money.

The key is that there are many invisible benefits that he didn't mention.

After the people around him knew that he had become a manager in a cotton mill, they became even more polite to him.

Moreover, no matter how many of his sons work in the cotton mill, he now feels like the one who has the most influence in the family.

Manager Chen naturally knew that this was because of Marquis Ning'an's face, and Marquis Ning'an was arguably the biggest backer of Qingshan Town.

With Manager Chen taking the lead, others gradually spoke up.

"Ever since I started working at the cotton mill, my mother-in-law has treated me differently. She used to let me do all the work, but now, when I go home, it's really not that easy."

"Me too. My man used to hit me, but now I throw money in his face and he doesn't even dare to fart!"

"I am different from you old ladies. After I entered the cotton mill, there have been waves of people coming to my house to propose marriage."

......

Everyone was talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and lively.

Shen Tang felt relieved when he saw the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces.

"As long as you are satisfied with the cotton mill, I am sure you all know that I and several other owners have established cotton mills of various sizes in various places.

Those cotton mills haven't opened yet. Once they're officially open, the managers there will naturally be selected from here."

The first Tangji Cotton Mill in Qingshan Town was like the group headquarters in later generations, and the others were branches and subsidiaries.

As the first cotton mill to be implemented, and having already experienced a simple round of production last year, it is natural to select people who are familiar with the operation and manufacturing of cotton mills to manage the other workshops.

Sure enough, after hearing Shen Tang's words, everyone present breathed faster.

Being a manager in Tangji Cotton Mill is not an ordinary manager outside. He is someone who has the right to see Shen Tang.

No matter how many people outside wanted to see Ning Anhou, they were all turned away.

Becoming a manager not only means a different monthly salary but also a different status.

This cotton mill belongs to Marquis Ning'an. If they become managers, they can tell others that they are the managers of Marquis Ning'an.

"But, Steward, the most important point is that most of you can't do it."

Shen Tang spoke with certainty.

"My Lord, my weaving speed is the fastest in our cotton mill!"

"My Lord, I am the strongest man in our cotton mill!"

"I am from our cotton mill..."

Everyone was eager to show themselves in front of Shen Tang.

Shen Tang was also happy to see the workers so enthusiastic, and responded with a faint smile.

"I know you are skilled in the cotton mill now, but being a manager is not just about spinning fast and fluffing cotton well. With your skills, you can only be a master craftsman at best, not a manager."

Everyone looked at Shen Tang, and she spoke slowly:

"This manager must be able to read and do arithmetic. Can you read? Or, can you do arithmetic?"

As soon as Shen Tang finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads, like eggplants hit by frost.

They were all ordinary farm girls who could not even read or do math, and they couldn't even recognize their own names.

As expected, not everyone can be the manager around Ning An Hou.

Shen Tang took in everyone's expressions and then spoke:

"When Tangji recruited you, we naturally knew what you were capable of. When I said we'd select the manager from among you, that was certainly true.

So what if I can’t read or do math?

Tangji will invite teachers to teach you how to read and write, and even teach you how to use an abacus.

Those who are well-educated are naturally qualified to be managers!"

Please ask a teacher to teach them how to read and write!

God!

This!

This is incredible!

"My Lord, would you like to ask the host to teach us how to read and write?"

Someone murmured in disbelief.

Not to mention learning to read and write, in ordinary farming families, even the men in the family may not be qualified to go to school!

And today, Ning Anhou actually said that he wanted to invite a teacher to teach these female workers!
