"Mr. Li, except for a few staff responsible for after-sales issues of previous products, the rest of Jianpai's staff have been withdrawn."
Xu Chunrong rushed over and introduced.
"That's good. Find the landlord and buy the building if you can." As he said that, he looked up at the big sign on the roof and said with a smile, "These words won't be an eyesore."
Xu Chunrong perked up and said, "Yes, I'll do it later."
Now he was extremely grateful for his wise decision. Being a deputy factory director in Xingrong was not as satisfying as being a branch factory manager in Shanghai.
The current Shanghai branch is a little smaller than Xingrong, but to be honest, after seeing the prosperity of Shanghai, I am really reluctant to let him return to Xingrong.
"By the way, um... that's Director Qian, right?" Li Xiucheng thought for a moment before remembering the last name of the director of the community.
"Yes, Director Qian Runfu."
"He's not doing anything evil, right?"
"No!" Xu Chunrong looked around and said in a low voice: "I just come here occasionally to enjoy the autumn breeze, eat and drink gifts."
Li Xiucheng smiled. Compared with the interest savings of millions of dollars a year on the land purchase, this small profit is really not worth mentioning.
"That's right, let's go directly to the factory. The new year has begun, so we might as well report on the start-up status and last year's work together."
"okay."
Accompanied by several managers, Li Xiucheng stepped into the first spacious workshop, and the first thing he felt was that it was noisy.
This is the cutting workshop. After the wood comes in, it is cut into boards and strips by machines.
The sound of machine tools and motors obscured everything, and the workers were working. Wood ash was flying all over the sky, and the air was extremely turbid. It was really hard to stay here.
Li Xiucheng glanced around and then walked to the next workshop under everyone's persuasion.
The second workshop was a sporting goods production workshop and was much quieter. After reading it, Li Xiucheng took the initiative to go to the third workshop.
When we arrived at the third workshop, we found that it was a workshop for making sofas. It was equally quiet here.
Xu Chunrong said: "The main work here is manual work, so it is much quieter and the environment is good."
Li Xiucheng watched the busy workers fastening the flannel covers tightly on the sofas, then patting them hard with their hands to compact them, and suddenly asked: "How many people are there in the factory now?"
"Hey, that's a lot." Speaking of this, Xu Chunrong said proudly: "Last year, the number of our workers reached 426. During the New Year period, many old employees went home to promote it, and many people came to apply for the job. factory.
So at the beginning of the new year, the total number of people in the factory has reached 540, which is enough to operate the factory at full capacity.
Just because the new year has just begun, the sales work of many material suppliers and dealers are not yet on track, and the beginning of the year is the off-season for furniture sales, so our production tasks are not too heavy. "
Li Xiucheng nodded noncommittally, and then asked: "Where is the sporting goods research and development side? How is the situation now?"
Hearing this question, Xu Chunrong smiled bitterly and said: "Well, we trial-produced some table tennis rackets and badminton rackets, but the sales were not very good, so everyone's enthusiasm was not high."
"not tall?"
Li Xiucheng raised his eyebrows, "Then do more research and produce on demand. What I want is high-end and professional products. Products may not sell well temporarily, but they must keep moving forward.
Find professional sports teams in several cities to sponsor sporting goods, and then collect data to make modifications. This is how foreign high-end sports brand companies improve their products.
We should also learn a little bit. "
"Okay, I understand." Xu Chunrong nodded hurriedly, feeling a little lucky that he was not criticized.
As a result, before this idea came to an end, Li Xiucheng's tone became stern: "Also, just because the factory is at full capacity doesn't mean we are satisfied. What if our products are selling well again during the peak season and our production capacity is insufficient?
Should we make customers wait or let dealers change manufacturers to get goods? "
This change came so suddenly. Xu Chunrong was shocked. Looking at Li Xiucheng's unhappy expression, he said uneasily: "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"
"I mean?
Since it's the off-season now, it's time to think about the new factory.
besides..."
As Li Xiucheng spoke, he suddenly pointed at the workers at work and said loudly: "Don't you think that with so many messy processes mixed together, it is not easy to manage scientifically and it is also prone to accidents and chaos?
Also, why don’t the workers in the cutting room have protective measures? Where are the masks and earplugs? You need to feel the handwork and cannot use gloves. What about the workers responsible for handling?
Why doesn't anyone wear gloves? "
The sudden scolding alarmed everyone in the workshop. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards Li Xiucheng.
Seeing Manager Xu being scolded by a young man, the old employees immediately knew what was going on. While giving instructions to the newcomers next to them one by one, they were also curious about why the boss always lost his temper.
In fact, not only ordinary employees were curious, but several managers and Xu Chunrong also didn't understand why these little things made Li Xiucheng react so big.
And Li Xiucheng really didn't mean to make use of the topic. In fact, there are indeed many problems.
These problems may not seem big, but they indicate that factory management is chaotic and unreasonable.
Looking at Xu Chunrong who was downcast and silent, Li Xiucheng continued: "Don't think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill. Labor insurance and protection issues must be put in place, especially in the cutting room. Workers who breathe dust for a long time may get pneumoconiosis. Without earplugs, they may become deaf." .”
Pneumoconiosis?
Deaf?
Xu Chunrong looked up at Li Xiucheng in shock, not understanding what he meant.
The workers around were also confused and expressed that they could not understand.
Seeing this, Li Xiucheng frowned, thinking that pneumoconiosis is not yet understood by the public and has not even been defined as an occupational disease. He softened his expression and explained: "Pneumoconiosis is a lung disease caused by inhaling too much dust. , you can understand it as non-contagious tuberculosis, but it is lifelong and irreversible lung damage."
"so smart!"
Everyone was shocked by this statement.
Xu Chunrong murmured: "Mr. Li, I don't know either. Besides, we used to work like this in the factory, so..."
"It's okay, right?" Li Xiucheng looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Xu Chunrong nodded guiltily.
"Nothing for a while doesn't mean never, and I don't hope there will be, because then it will be too late." Li Xiucheng waved his hand and said: "Okay, there's no need to argue, just do as I say.
Protective equipment is purchased regularly and quantitatively every month and distributed to workers. Wearing labor protective equipment must also be included in daily attendance.
I am here to tell you something that comes from my heart. "
At this point, Li Xiucheng looked at his workers and said sincerely: "I am also a man with a wife and children. What I hope is that everyone can work healthily and earn money to support their families, rather than risking their lives in exchange for hard-earned money and getting money in the future." Go buy your life.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
