After dinner, Yang Liufang walked out of the factory to see the master off. He found that a light layer of white snow had covered the open space around the factory. At this time, the snow fell silently and everything was completely silent. Looking through the light at the door of the factory building, looking around, the snowflakes cover the Hanwang River, a land of intertwined mountains and rivers. For this beautiful artistic conception, Yang Liufang is poor in words because he has little reading. Thinking back to the lines of business and business formats mentioned by the leaders at the supply and marketing cooperative meeting, Yang Liufang felt even more lacking in knowledge about these words. He secretly set a goal for himself to read a management or literature book every month. When the book is used, it will be forgotten. Where to start reading it?
Yang Liufang thought that there was no one around him who could consult him. When I was at a loss what to do, I remembered that around this time last year, Qin Jiajun took him to make a bookshelf for a teacher's house in Xizhou City. His house was full of books. Maybe he could be contacted for help. Just when I was about to go back and make a phone call, I remembered that it was too late now. It was snowing so heavily. Qin Jiajun and Yanhua had already gone home from get off work. They could only wait until work tomorrow before contacting them.
It snowed heavily all night. When he went to work in the morning, Yang Liufang was worried that the workers would be frozen if they arrived early. After getting up, he opened the factory door first and then went to wash up. After he finished washing and everyone had arrived, Yang Liufang, as usual, first learned about the progress of various projects and arranged today's new furniture production tasks.
"Everyone has worked hard in the past few days, and we still have nine sets of wedding furniture to make. If it doesn't snow, it will turn into snow. Daga, please burn the kang in the spray painting room later to prevent the paint from freezing after spraying. ”
"Okay, Master."
"Then you two go get busy. Shi Fang, because this time except for the sofa, most of the furniture is Chinese style, you are the main one, but you have to help your senior brother to unwrap the sofa material first, and let the workers arrange the tension springs and finish it. Later, I will ask someone from Wangqingchuan to come over and sew the sofa cover. In this way, the three of us can work together to make antique furniture. After a while, you two will go to work on the sofa. I will ask a porter to help me first and prepare the antique furniture for you. Draw the line.”
"Okay, master, let's get started now." Just after the arrangements were made, the master arrived.
"Master, it's cold today. Let's make a pot of egg soup or hot and sour soup for everyone. Keep plenty of staple food."
"Okay, Boss Yang."
At this time, Shi Yong and Shi Fang had already started to choose the materials for the sofa. Yang Liufang asked a porter to help him select the materials he wanted to use, and he arranged and drew the lines with ease.
After breakfast, Yang Liufang went to the supply and marketing cooperative and called Qin Jiajun before everyone started working.
"Brother Qin, do you remember that we made a bookshelf for a teacher in Xizhou last year? He has a lot of books in his house."
"Remember, what happened? They are both teachers. They were very satisfied with our furniture. They later introduced several teachers to buy furniture."
"Oh, let's not talk about the furniture. This time I want you to help me contact him and see if I can get his contact information. I don't have enough ink in my stomach. I don't know what the customer is talking about when I chat with him. So. I want him to recommend some books.”
"Oh, that's it. Okay, I'll go to his house when I'm delivering the goods today and give you a phone number."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Qin. You go ahead and do your work."
"See you."
Yang Liufang hung up the phone and continued to devote himself to his new job. Before noon, Qin Jiajun called and gave the teacher's home phone number.
"Brother, the teacher is very happy to hear that you like to study. If you need any advice, just call."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Qin."
After lunch, Shi Yong had already started setting out. He found that this apprentice not only worked quickly, but also learned his work process meticulously. He was very satisfied. By the time they got off work in the afternoon, the two of them had already started to measure up. But he still couldn't correct his careless mistakes. For example, he carelessly recorded the completed ruler on the head of a scrap board. Yang Liufang then remembered that he should prepare notebooks for his two apprentices, and called Li Tongfu after get off work.
"Brother, when delivering food these two days, please ask them to bring four notebooks and a few ballpoint pens. Shi Yong and Shi Fang need to write down something while they work."
"Okay. I'll buy it tomorrow and put it in their car. By the way, are we all going home this year?"
"Well, I will definitely go back this year."
"Then we can only set a vote of twenty-eight?"
"Okay, I can definitely finish it by then."
"Okay, I've asked someone to book the tickets in the past few days. I heard that it's getting harder and harder to book tickets for the Spring Festival."
"Good brother, thank you. By the way, you can sleep in the supply and marketing cooperative at night, and you can also read when you are bored."
"Oh, I see."
After Yang Liufang hung up the phone, he called the teacher in Xizhou City according to the phone number given by Qin Jiajun. After a while of ringing, the phone was picked up.
"Hello, who's there?" It was the teacher's voice.
"Hello, teacher, I am Xiao Yang, Qin Jiajun's brother. I made a bookshelf for our family."
"Oh, hello Xiao Yang. Xiao Qin came here this morning and told me that you wanted to consult about some books. What do you think it was about? I will tell you everything I know. Everyone is busy now To make money, there are fewer and fewer young people like you who are studious.”
"Teacher, thank you for your praise. I just went out to a meeting a few days ago and found that I didn't understand the vocabulary that the leaders were talking about. So I want to study more and learn more, just to sharpen my skills before the battle. Maybe I don't need it now, but I may use it someday in the future. What’s up?”
"Really? What word?"
"For example, in shopping mall management, they talk about business formats, route planning, consumption habits, etc."
"Oh, this belongs to the field of business management. I can help you with literature, but I'm not good at this. So, wait a moment. Old lady, old lady, Xiao Yang, who makes furniture for our family, would like to recommend some management subjects. Books, please come and give me some opinions and suggestions.”
"Oh, isn't he making furniture? Why did he think of studying?"
"It's useful. It's not good for children who like to study. Don't hang up. I'll turn on the speakerphone for you. Okay, that's it."
"Hello teachers, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late."
"Hello, Xiao Yang, what is your academic level?"
"Teacher, I'm very ashamed to say that I started learning carpentry skills from my master right after I graduated from junior high school."
"Oh, you can't understand those professional management books. Let's start with the story books. I'll recommend two books to you."
"Teacher, please wait a moment. I'll take some paper and take notes." He quickly found the notebook, opened it, and said, "Okay, teacher."
""The Practice of Management" and "How to Work" by Kazuo Inamori. You should read these two books first, and we will communicate after reading them."
"Okay, teacher, thank you. I'll have someone go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy it tomorrow. Then I won't disturb your rest."
"Well, Xiao Yang, study hard. Goodbye."
"Thank you teacher, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, I called Li Tongfu again.
"Brother, I just called the teacher who made furniture last year. He recommended two books to me. You can ask them to buy them for me when they deliver the goods tomorrow."
"what book?"
"The Practice of Management and Kazuo Inamori's "The Way of Stewardship."
"Okay, I'll write it down. "Doing Method" and "Management Practice"
"Well, thank you, brother."
"Thank you. If it looks good, I'll look at it later."
"Well, okay, go to bed early. Good night, brother."
"Good night."
After finishing a big event, Yang Liufang relaxed and refilled the kang stove with some charcoal. He took off his clothes and lay comfortably on the kang, using the heat of the kang to relieve his back pain caused by fatigue.
Three days later, the ice and snow melted. Qin Jiajun drove up to deliver food and brought two books and notebooks. Yang Liufang gave the notebooks and pens to Daga, Xiaoga, Shi Yong and Shi Fang respectively, telling them what happened or was important. Record the data on it in time. Don't scribble on the scrap boards. It will be in vain if you throw them away and cannot find them. He picked up the book and flipped through it. The smell of the book was fragrant and very fresh. He put the book back in the bedroom.
I came out to watch the Qin Jiajun directing the workers to unload the vegetables. Originally, the Qin Jiajun wanted everyone to load the food together with the furniture, so that they could bring food back to the supply and marketing cooperative earlier. Yang Liufang was worried that the workers would be hungry and had no energy to work, so he decided to let them eat before installing furniture.
After lunch, Qin Jiajun directed everyone to assemble the furniture. Yang Liufang continued to lead everyone to work. Shi Yong and Shi Fang were busy all morning. They had already finished unpacking all the sofa materials. Shi Yong only needed to lead the porters to complete the assembly. . Shi Fang came back and took the porters to cut the materials according to the lines drawn by the master. Yang Liufang's work speed has improved a lot with helpers. Now he uses a machine to saw the mortise and tenon joints. Even though it is the coldest month of winter, the workers in the factory are taking off their coats and working hard under the leadership of Yang Liufang. It is a prosperous and busy scene.
From then on, Yang Liufang listened to the radio and read a book every night after get off work, and would take notes from time to time. Especially in Inamori Kazuo's "The Way of Doing", many views have greatly inspired Yang Liufang. For example, he mentioned: "As long as you like it, you should work tirelessly, don't regard difficulties as difficulties, and immerse yourself in work. When you work, you will naturally gain energy. With energy, you will be able to achieve results. If you achieve results, you will be encouraged by everyone. With encouragement, you will like your work more." Yang Liufang combined his own experience in actual factory management After comparing the situation with this plan, we found that every time we criticize the apprentices or porters, the efficiency will not be improved. On the contrary, when we are encouraged, the efficiency will be improved and the workers will be more motivated to work. He wrote down his insights in his notebook: "What can't be done with encouragement, even less can be done with criticism."
Regarding the completion of the plan, this Japanese sage of management also has his own views. He wrote: "Since a plan has been made, it must be realized. The key to realizing a new plan is perseverance and single-mindedness, so one must concentrate and hold a noble attitude. With strong thoughts and strong desires, I will persevere and work hard to the end." In Lenovo's own life, he and his brother made a plan to build a leather factory, but it has been delayed until now. Instead of forgetting when he was busy, Ah Fu, who was busy at the supply and marketing cooperative, was obsessed with reporting on the matter. I am very ashamed. It seems that I have to learn more from my elder brother.
