Chapter 89 Adjusting the Salary Structure
The New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce now has attracted the attention of many people in Bonta City and several surrounding cities. The news that Kennard served as general manager of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce immediately caused a sensation as soon as it was heard.
The first thing people are concerned about is Kennard's identity.
It is said that Kennard is actually the legitimate child of the Emma family. So according to tradition, even if he wants to go to business, he should enter the Walmart Chamber of Commerce. Why should he work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
The second thing I pay attention to is the meaning of the word "general manager".
General Manager? No such position in any chamber of commerce in mainland China, Siones, does this do?
"The general manager's job is... actually similar to the president. He is mainly responsible for managing all the specific affairs of our New Flight Chamber of Commerce, such as the internal chamber of commerce work arrangements, various external negotiations, etc. Of course, he does not have the ownership of the chamber of commerce. Specifically, he is just assisting me in managing the chamber of commerce."
For this matter, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even held a special press conference.
At the press conference, Xu Yi made the above explanation.
The reporters from major newspapers who attended the press conference thought carefully and thought that although the title of the general manager was very strange, the work he was responsible for was actually similar to that of the vice presidents of most chambers of commerce, and just assisted the president in management. So he was no longer surprised, but began to pay attention to another issue.
Although Kennard Emma comes from the Emma family and claims to have been trained in the Walmart Chamber of Commerce since he was a child, he is only twenty-seven years old this year. Moreover, the industries that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce and the Walmart Chamber of Commerce are completely different. It can be said that Kennard Ella does not have much knowledge of magic machinery at all. So can he be the general manager of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce be good?
"Ignore the questions of those reporters. Since I chose you, I will definitely choose to believe that you have such ability." After the press conference, Xu Yi patted Kennard on the shoulder and comforted him.
Kennard smiled slightly, his face without showing any loose expression because of the reporters' repeated doubts just now, and he was still as confident as usual.
"Please rest assured, President. I believe in myself more than you."
"That's good. If you don't even have this confidence, I'm really sorry for the salary I offered you fifty gold coins a month." Xu Yi nodded.
"When it comes to salary..." Kennard pondered for a moment: "President, I have carefully studied it over the past two days and also consulted with the Sebass Supervisor for discussion. I feel that the salary structure of our chamber of commerce is somewhat unreasonable."
"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at Kennard who was quickly entering the work state with surprise and asked with interest: "What is unreasonable?"
"Look, this is a report I made yesterday." Kennard took out a piece of paper from his arms.
I opened it and saw a simple chart on it, which included the salary of different types of employees of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, which looked clear at a glance.
Xu Yi glanced at him and couldn't help but nodded in admiration.
"Yes, Kennard, you are indeed a professional. You should have completed this report by yourself, right? Although Sebas is very capable, he doesn't know how to do this kind of thing."
Kennard showed a modest smile: "This is nothing, Director Sebass just didn't spend time on this."
"Well, then, what are you talking about unreasonable?" Xu Yi pointed to the report and asked.
"President, you can see from this chart. The monthly salary of ordinary workers in our Chamber of Commerce was 11.6 gold coins last month, and the maximum was 17.3 gold coins. The average monthly salary was 13.72 gold coins. In addition to the welfare benefits stipulated by the Chamber of Commerce, the average monthly income of each worker has exceeded 15 gold coins."
"Well, Sebass has reported it to me. Is there any problem with this?" Xu Yi asked.
"I have conducted a small survey these days and found that even if I look at it alone, the current monthly salary of ordinary workers in our chamber of commerce is basically the highest in Bonta City. In addition to our chamber of commerce, most of the monthly salary of ordinary workers in other chambers of commerce is around ten gold coins. Only workers in the Amri Chamber of commerce who are responsible for road engineering occasionally have higher situations than our chamber of commerce. But correspondingly, the workers in the Amri Chamber of commerce work more than twelve hours a day, while ordinary workers in our chamber of commerce only need to work eight hours a day. Even if they occasionally work overtime, they will also pay additional overtime pay."
"So what? What's the problem?" Xu Yi asked with a smile. "If you think that the salary paid by our chamber of commerce to ordinary workers is too high, then this topic can end here. I have carefully considered the salary to the workers at this level. As for the reasons, it will take a lot of trouble, so I won't explain it to you for the time being."
Kennard shook his head: "No, President, I don't think that ordinary workers are paid too high, but the current structure is not reasonable, and in comparison, the salary of other employees seems too low."
When Xu Yi suddenly became interested when he heard that Kennard was not like President Cruise before, simply thinking that the salary he paid to ordinary workers was too high.
"Tell me, what are your specific ideas?"
"It's like that. President, I have carefully studied the main structure of our chamber of commerce these days and found that for our chamber of commerce, the work of ordinary workers actually seems very unimportant, and it is even more unimportant than that of ordinary workers in any other chamber of commerce."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because most of the work in our chamber of commerce is actually handed over to magic machine tools, and a complete production line has been formed. The work that every ordinary worker needs to complete is actually very simple. Any normal person can master it after simple training and achieve the same level of proficiency after a short period of familiarity." Kennard explained.
“So you don’t think their job is important?”
"It is not accurate to say that it is not important, but it is not that important in comparison. Because in my opinion, even in the same factory, different skills should be mastered by different workers, and the energy and technical content required to be consumed at work are also different. Since this is the case, it is obviously not reasonable to pay them the same salary." Kennard said seriously.
"In other words, do you want to give ordinary workers in the factory a level and then pay them different levels of salaries according to different levels?" Xu Yi asked.
"Yes." Kennard took out a table from his arms. "This is a rough statistics I have made for all the employees on the automatic magic rice cooker production line in the home magic machinery production workshop these days. From the statistical table, it can be seen that the workers responsible for producing the top-cover beam bracket of the automatic magic rice cooker have the highest requirements, because this beam bracket has strict data requirements, even one millimeter or one millimeter less may become a waste product. Therefore, the responsible workers must concentrate on controlling the magic lathe and cannot let the magic lathe turn tool have even a slight deviation. I think this job is the most difficult and technical on this production line."
"So what is the one with the least difficulty or technical content? Are they the workers responsible for assembly?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Kennard was stunned. Xu Yi did not look at the statistics table, but said his thoughts in one word.
"Don't be surprised, because I even know this problem better than you." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "But it takes a lot of energy and time to subdivide all the jobs in the factory and conduct a detailed unified planning and classification according to the technical content contained therein. You should be very clear that what I lack the most is energy and time, so I have not been able to complete this work before."
Speaking of this, Xu Yi smiled and patted Kennard on the shoulder and continued, "No one has the ability to complete this matter before you come. Now that you have proposed it, that's great. Just take this work as the first important task you have to join our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. Half a month later, I hope to see you come up with a detailed report."
"Half a month?" Kennard opened his eyes incredibly. "President, this job is so complicated, you only gave me half a month? Is this too exaggerated, right?"
"Can't you do it?" Xu Yi glanced at him sideways and sighed deliberately. "I thought the business elites carefully cultivated by the Emma family must have extremely outstanding abilities, but I didn't expect that but that was the case."
Kennard couldn't help laughing: "President, did you stimulate you before taking revenge on me? Well, half a month is only half a month, and even if I work hard, I will do this job well."
Xu Yi felt very relieved when he saw the confident smile on Kennard's face.
Not to mention anything else, Kennard was able to do so many statistical research in just a few days, and quickly grasped the key points and found a problem that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce urgently needs to solve, which is enough to prove that his ability is absolutely extremely strong.
Although Xu Yi had discovered this problem a long time ago, neither Heinze nor Sebas had the ability to deal with this problem, and he had no time.
Now that Kennard joins, this problem seems to be solved.
"That's good. General Manager Emma, please work hard."
Xu Yi patted Kennard on the shoulder again, left him alone to think hard, and then came to the Camilla Magician Tower.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the exclusive research room of the Camilla Magician on the top of the Magician Tower, Xu Yi immediately started yelling.
"His great magician, Steele said you have two good news to notify me. What is good news?"
The great magician Camilla was doing a magic experiment. After hearing Xu Yi's voice, he raised his head and glanced at him, but did not answer, but waved to him and signaled him to come and help.
Xu Yi was a little surprised. With the strength of the great magician Camilla, what magic tests do you need your own help?
When he walked over and looked down, Xu Yi immediately exclaimed, with endless joy in his tone.
"Your Excellency the Great Magician, you...you have actually completed it!"
