For a long time, the traditional manufacturing industry of our Ming Empire has been a relatively simple traditional small workshop, which means that one person is responsible for all the errands. For example, if your family makes porcelain, you must not only master the art of making clay. The technology requires one to learn shaping and baking time, so one person has to learn all the production processes, which undoubtedly increases the learning burden of the workers, and also requires very high abilities of the workers, who have a flexible mind and are quick to learn. It's fast, so it's more difficult for people with dumber brains to learn.
But Wang Busheng's method is different. The assembly line production method means that each person only produces one step and is only responsible for one production process. The dough mixer is only responsible for kneading the noodles, and the jelly bean maker is only responsible for making jelly beans. In this way, the skill requirements for workers will be lower, and workers can learn faster if they only learn one thing. Even if some workers are dumber and learn things slower, it does not matter. They can do other jobs that do not require IQ. For example, you have to sell your physical strength to carry a load of flour and pack the jelly beans one by one. These skills are very simple and basically everyone can do it. And the most important point is that each person is only responsible for one step, so they can become more familiar and production efficiency will increase. Naturally the benefits gained will also increase.
Of course, there is no shortage of outstanding businessmen with wisdom, brains and foresight among our Chinese people. Now some simple assembly line production methods have appeared in some places in Ming Dynasty's manufacturing industry, but because of the lack of information, they have not been widely circulated. For example, Wang Busui has been using this method to produce jelly beans, which is very efficient and has brought Wang Busui a lot of wealth.
Zhang Jinghui can be regarded as the leader of the business culture of the Ming Empire. In terms of vision and ability, she is second to none in the female circle of the Ming Empire. However, she knows nothing about the assembly line production method that Wang Busheng mentioned and is confused.
"Assembly line production method," Zhang Jinghui looked at Wang BuSi like a curious baby, her beautiful face full of doubts and confusion, waiting for Wang BuSi's explanation.
Wang Bushi didn't hide anything, he told everything, and introduced the assembly line production method in detail, as well as the advantages of this method.
Zhang Jinghui nodded frequently as she listened, wondering why Wang Bushai, a young man who had just entered the business world, knew so much. Also full of curiosity.
"I really don't know where you come up with these weird ideas."
"Haha, I'm self-taught, and I'm born to do business." Wang Busi laughed and touched his face sheepishly.
Excellent people always have the ability to take one step beyond their own. Others look at ninety steps, but he looks at a hundred steps. Of course, this is also related to Wang Busheng’s experience of traveling through time. You must know how detailed the career divisions are in the 21st century. A simple job can be assigned to hundreds of people in detail, with the sole purpose of improving production efficiency.
Zhang Jinghui rolled her eyes and said, "If I hadn't seen you smiling so sincerely, I would have suspected that you were scolding yourself."
"Criticize yourself, why?"
"The status of a businessman is not very good. It is a profession that will be ridiculed by many people." Although Zhang Jinghui has always been engaged in business activities, she still maintains her identity as the eldest lady of the British government. It is true that not many people dare to laugh at her. Besides, she has good looks, but other businessmen without status can do it. He was not well received and was often humiliated and insulted by scholars. Businessmen are even classified as beasts and beggars.
"Haha, there are three hundred and sixty industries. Every industry needs people to do it. What's the distinction between high and low? Scholars eat, drink, and sleep, porters eat, drink, and sleep. Businessmen also eat, drink, and sleep. As long as Any job that is legally earned through one's own labor is honorable. Although businessmen pursue profits and buy low and sell high, without businessmen, where would the commodities we need daily come from?"
I have to say that Wang Busui's thoughts are still very avant-garde. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are all inferior, but reading is the best. This thought has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of thousands of years. The status of scholars will always be the highest, and businessmen will always have the highest status. He will always be at the bottom of society. It is estimated that Zhu Xiluo, like his ancestor Zhu Chongba, has been spurred by the contempt of businessmen and has no good attitude towards businessmen. Businessmen have created a lot of wealth for society. But it is still not recognized by the people.
"There are many businessmen who are unkind just to get rich," Zhang Jinghui mentioned again. In disaster years, they hoard food and sell it at high prices, and shoddy goods are everywhere.
"Everyone chooses to work in a certain industry with certain benefits, excellent remuneration, and a stable environment. Could it be that their original intention is to save lives, heal the wounded, teach and educate people? Careers are always good and blameless. , but the people engaged in these professions have changed. Many businessmen are rich and unkind, but there are also many who lead their fellow villagers to get rich together."
Because much of the land in the Ming Empire was in the hands of landlords, and there was very little land in the hands of the common people. Poor harvests and high taxes made it difficult for the common people to maintain a family's life through land alone. Therefore, many common people had to work choice, but if there were not so many businessmen, how could there be so many jobs to accommodate those workers? People would have jobs, and businessmen would benefit. This could be considered a win-win situation.
Zhang Jinghui couldn't help but nod again, "Budie, you're right. Well, I'll have someone modify these drawings according to your wishes."
Zhang Jinghui feels the same way. There are too many people in the Ming Empire who are living as vegetarians. They do nothing but benefit when they are in office. For example, Xie Xiangrong, the prefect in front of him, has made no contribution to Songjiang Prefecture for several years in office, but he has made money. I have sold a lot of money, and I heard that I have sold thousands of acres of land in my hometown.
"Hehe, each room is separated, and there is another advantage, that is safety. Everyone is only responsible for one thing. What you see in your own production workshop is the same production process. The manufacturing method of natural jelly beans is also Not easily leaked."
Of course, if some workers come with a purpose and pay attention, they can master the method of making jelly beans, but unfortunately, without sugar, everything is in vain.
"Okay, I've written it down."
Zhang Jinghui wrote it seriously. And then asked “what else”?
"And I'm going to make a clearing in this place." Wang Bu Shou pointed to a place and said.
Zhang Jinghui was curious again,
"Well, this is a place to display goods," Wang Busheng continued to explain, "If the workers can all be in place, we can produce thousands of jelly beans every day, and the output will increase in the future. Songjiang Prefecture alone can eat so many jelly beans." It is still a bit difficult, and we also have many other different snacks, so we need to open a variety of sales channels and vigorously develop agents in various places. I plan to build a product display area and experience area in this open space to facilitate reception of inquiries. customer of",
"What you said makes sense." Zhang Jinghui put down her pen and looked at Wang Bushit and continued, "Although our Zhangjia Liang Store also has branches in some prefectures and counties, it is still a drop in the bucket and cannot absorb our shipments. At present, I predict It is a thousand kilograms per day, but with the increasing familiarity of the workers and the increase in the number of workers, I think it is not a problem to increase the output ten to eight times. Therefore, recruiting agents as you mentioned is very important. I will let Zhangjia grain stores in various places spread Promote it, find some businessmen with business quality and good character, and cooperate with them."
"With my sister, this will naturally go smoothly. The specific construction of this customer experience area still needs to be discussed. It must be luxurious, classy and connotative, so that customers can feel at home. All aspects must be considered,"
"Don't worry about this. We at Zhangjia Liang Company have talents in this field. When the specific framework comes out, I will show it to you."
"Okay, the big aspects are almost done."
"You mean there are other aspects?" Zhang Jinghui asked.
"Hehe, there are some other aspects. This is my personal opinion. Sister has the right to refuse." Wang Busheng pondered for a while and said, "Food is the most important thing for the people. The foundation of an enterprise is the people, that is, workers. If you want The workers work for us sincerely, so we must treat them as relatives, make them feel like home, and let them treat our business as their own, so that we can reap greater benefits.”
Workers are not just migrant workers who sell their labor in exchange for remuneration. They are also an integral part of an enterprise and a brick and mortar of an enterprise. Some enterprise leaders treat their workers as slaves, beating, scolding, and corporal punishment at will. They always want to pay a small price to squeeze out all the value of workers and create the greatest wealth for themselves. People's hearts are made of flesh. You will always be the big fish and the big fish, and others will have to eat the bran-throated vegetables. With a boss like this, how can your employees really work for you? If there are other better choices. , they will choose to leave without hesitation.
"I don't quite understand what you mean." More and more aware of the difference between Wang BuSi, Zhang Jinghui can no longer understand Wang BuSi.
"Actually, the meaning is very simple. We must treat workers as friends and relatives, not slaves. We must sincerely consider them, so I plan to build a free canteen, medical center, and a residential building here so that they can Eat here, stay here."
Wang Busheng's point of view is somewhat similar to the guaranteed food and housing allocation in some government departments.
"It is necessary to build a canteen and a medical center. After all, we are far away from the city. It is difficult for the workers to eat. It is natural for us to take care of food. But we also need to build residential buildings so that they can have houses to live here. It's a bit redundant, after all, it costs a lot to build a house like this." Zhang Jinghui put forward a different point of view. You must know that businessmen who are in charge of food are already very conscientious. If you add a house to live in, it is estimated that only a Bodhisattva can do these things.
"Sister, listen to me. Although we need to spend a lot of money to build the building, in the long run, there are still many benefits to us. Workers living here can save time on traveling back and forth, and can use more We have to work all the time, and not everyone can own our house. Of course, it can only be owned by the few people who have helped us a lot and created the highest value. This can also stimulate the enthusiasm of workers to work, and this house does not belong to Theirs can only be used if they are still working with us, and they must be taken back when they leave the house. This will also make it easier for us to retain excellent workers."
People live for profit, and naturally good conditions can attract outstanding talents.
"Although I don't understand what you heard, I still believe you. You said we would build a house if necessary. It's just a matter of spending some money." The Zhangjia Grain Store has always been in the grain business, that is, reselling. The grain is collected there and bought here. Basically, there are very few things that need to be processed by oneself, so the specific operations of the manufacturing industry are not very clear. Although Zhang Jinghui didn't know whether what Wang Bushit said was necessary, the man himself still had to support it.
"Sister, believe me, I'm right. You have to have confidence in your own vision." Having finished talking about the important things, Wang Busheng relaxed and lay down on Zhang Jinghui's lap.
"Okay, I believe you." He stroked Wang Busheng's hair lovingly, "I really don't know where your weird ideas come from."
"I'm a natural, sister, don't envy me." Wang Bushi pushed hard into Zhang Jinghui's arms and put his arm around Zhang Jinghui's waist.
"I envy a big-headed guy. I'll see what I will do if I lose money."
"Don't worry, sister, in the worst case, I will earn money to support you."
"It's very expensive to raise a sister."
"It's okay, it's okay. In the worst case, I'll go to Shuang Wai Wai Bathhouse to work part-time."
He pinched Wang Bushit's nose and said, "That's all nonsense."
"By the way," Wang Bushu asked as if something suddenly occurred to him, "Sister, how is the wound on your stomach?"
"You said it was the last time I was bitten by a snake in Tianci Mountain." Zhang Jinghui stroked her long hair and said lightly, "It's been such a long time, and I've already recovered."
"Let me see".
Zhang Jinghui did not refuse, and the scenes of the past sounded again. Wang Busui slowly lifted up Zhang Jinghui's clothes. On the lower abdomen as smooth as white jade, the traces of wounds could still be vaguely seen. , we will only sympathize with a stranger who has a broken head and blood, but we will feel bad for our loved ones even if they are slightly injured.
"Does it still hurt?"
"The pain has stopped a long time ago"
"Hmph, it's decided. To avenge you, I will eat snake meat tonight."
"I'm fine now. Be careful about getting poisoned by eating snake meat."
Lifting up his clothes, okay, Wang Bushui saw something he shouldn't have seen again, okay, seeing this thing, basically all men will breathe faster,
"Sister, I want to touch you"
"Uh, ah, no"
Just when Zhang Jinghui wanted to stop him, Wang Busheng's hand had already reached in.
With a blush on her face, Zhang Jinghui looked at Wang Busheng helplessly, "You are really the nemesis of my life, there is nothing I can do against you."
When his wish came true, Wang Bushit smiled, stretched out his other hand, and began to unpack his clothes.
I heard the black dog shouting again from outside: "Master, it's not good, it's not good."
