Chapter 468 Central Star City
Looking at these factories, Yang Xing was also thinking about the future development direction of his company. As Zhongxing International's "Ten Directions Destroy" Group has also obtained the qualification to control many overseas listed companies, he decided that he would no longer promote major mergers and acquisitions plans for a long time. In the future, he would no longer bet on all his money in the Asian financial crisis and the Nasdaq stock market crash. He would turn more attention to the group and domestic, enhance corporate strength, improve execution efficiency, and develop such manufacturing entities in front of him.
"These factory layouts are planned in accordance with the international standards for the simplest route for product logistics. At that time, a large number of top urban planning experts and factory design experts were invited at home and abroad. It can be said that the production line layout of each factory is for the shortest time and most convenient production. The entire industrial area provides water, electricity, gas, and other supporting facilities such as water, electricity, and gas, as well as supporting facilities such as food, accommodation, warehousing, and distribution, adopt the principle of centralized allocation and public allocation, which maximizes the management costs of each enterprise, improves the production efficiency of the enterprise, frees operators from the tedious daily service work, and can focus all their attention on the production of their main business."
"This has also opened up a huge market for the tertiary service industry in the city. Now, in order to meet the daily life needs of hundreds of thousands of workers in the factory, service companies with nearly one million people are busy with this. Now the permanent population in Nan'an District has reached more than 700,000, and the population from the surrounding area is still increasing every day. The Baima Service Company in the city and the Xiyangyang Catering Group branch here have the highest daily turnover."
Yang Xing laughed when he heard this. He showed Kan Dongtian the production model of each production link that is closely connected to the maximum production link of the Ishikawa Island Soiling Shipyard, which compresses logistics and warehousing costs to the greatest extent. The city has learned from it and learned from it. Not only did it carefully plan to maximize the intensive advantages of the factory area, but it could also consider outsourcing services for enterprises and driving the development of the city's tertiary industry to kill two birds with one stone. It seems that the city is eager to reform, and some new thinking is almost catching up with coastal provinces and cities.
While they were talking, they saw a group of people dressed in officials running over hurriedly and pointed at the workers around the private car that followed them. It turned out that a sharp-eyed person in the factory recognized Kan Dongtian's car, and the cadres of the Industrial Zone Management Committee were panicked. In the past, private visits were made in private, and hurried out to greet them. Kan Dongtian and Yang Xing's plan to continue strolling was ruined. His face looked very bad. He reached out to stop his subordinates from trying to clear the road for his private car, and recruited several heads of the management committee to get in the car and talk.
"They are all honest workers. Now is their normal meal time. You block the road and let others eat, and let the workers give way to me when they are hungry. Do you think I was scolded by the backbone? I have said many times in the city that we should learn from the spirit of the Central Committee, govern for the people, and think more for the people. There is no need to make a false appearance. But I have seen many unsatisfactory places this time, and your work needs to be strengthened!" This is the first time that Yang Xing saw Kan Dongtian showing such a strong face, thinking that this is the majesty of the top leader of the Jiudu.
"You see, the collective canteen was built to facilitate workers' dining. I see that the dishes provided by many catering companies in the canteen are quite rich, but the location and number of canteens in the industrial area are still not as good as people. Centralized management of services does not mean that it is enough to build a 10,000-digit canteen. Now the industrial area is so large, how long does it take to go from one end of the factory to the other end? There will be more companies in the future. Why not set up a service center that provides food in about five minutes allowed by the walking range? Don't think that service facilities like the canteen occupy too much land. First, consider how to facilitate workers. I think you will first find a few powerful food vendors and discuss sending large mobile food dining trucks to provide fast food first, and then do as I told you. You are the leaders of the industrial area. You should go down and walk more and use your brain to serve the people, instead of sitting in the office doing nothing!"
Kan Dongtian's words made the management committee leader blush and could only pat his chest to ensure that he was immediately executed. After they got off the car, Kan Dongtian shook his head and said, "Some of our cadres are very restrained, fearful of doing things, not thinking about the people, just thinking about climbing up. I think they should still hit them frequently and promote a group of new faces at the same time."
Fan Wei leaned into Yang Xing's ear and said, "The industrial zone was organized by Kan ***, but he failed to get An's own people in the leadership of the management committee. It is said that a direct descendant in the province picked the fruit. No wonder the boss was uncomfortable." When Yang Xing heard that it was a common problem in the domestic officialdom. He shook his head and sighed that he couldn't help with this problem. At this time, their cars had reached the terminal of the trip, located at the gate of the Central Star City in the center of the industrial zone. This was Yang Xing's efforts. Everyone got off the car again and waited for the tour guide to accompany him to visit.
When Yang Xing first built the five major Xingcheng Industrial Parks, he intended to set a benchmark among the domestic industrial manufacturing bases. The factories of many enterprises in the surrounding industrial zones were full of the shadow of the high-tech factory buildings of the Central Star City. The five major Xingchengs have become the targets of imitation for many enterprises. In the early stages of construction, Yang Xing was not stingy in the investment in the internal infrastructure of Xingcheng, and chose the most advanced and expensive production equipment in the world.
For example, when you look like a dark cloud from afar, you can look like fish scales on the roof of the factory building. It is composed of countless solar panels that use the most advanced international solar panels that can automatically locate the sunlight source. The exterior structure of the factory building is like a drum. That is because the structure of the factory building adopts a special film double-layer hollow steel frame structure, which is light and easy to build, and can be ventilated and warm, with sufficient sunlight, saving a lot of heating and lighting costs. The key is that the film structure of the outer wall of the factory building can also change various patterns and colors according to the lights. From a distance, it looks colorful and unstable. Unlike a factory, it is more like a dream paradise.
There are many high-tech infrastructures in the factory area, and Star City has even specially opened tourist routes that allow tourists to visit in the factory. It is said that many visitors will give the amazement, "This is not a factory, it is simply a city in the future!", which can be regarded as adding a novel tourist attraction to the local tourism department.
Even as a landlord, Kan Dongtian would admire the new changes in the factory every time he visited. This was the first time Yang Xing, as the creator, witnessed his masterpiece with his own eyes. Everyone was excited to take an electric car and watch it carefully in Xingcheng under the leadership of the tourist guide sent by Xingcheng.
Among the five major star cities in China, the Central Star City undoubtedly covers the largest area, which is why Jiudu pays special attention to it. In contrast, Tianjin, Shanghai and Shenzhen have a developed economic foundation and many mature industrial enterprises, so they warmly welcomed Zhongxing International, but Jiudu did not try it like this. Shenzhen is already very sincere and has set aside a considerable area to build the Star City. The land left for the construction of the Star City in Tianjin Binhai New Area and Shanghai Zhangjiang High-tech Zone is much smaller. Especially the Shanghai Municipal Government, as the headquarters of Zhongxing International, has a similar relationship with Zhongxing International. At that time, there was a friction to investigate Zhongxing International's accounts. So among the major star cities, the construction of Jiudu and Mountain City in the inland is the greatest.
The tour guide introduced that the number of registered workers in Central Star City has reached 80,000, and it is still increasing rapidly every day. However, although it is also a meal time, compared to the chaotic crowd in the industrial area outside, the Nuoda factory area was filled with light blue electric vehicles, and quickly sent workers in various workshops to many canteens. There were not many people walking on the roads in the factory, so naturally it was not crowded. The entire factory area was filled with various colors of plants, and the weeping willows on the small lakeside formed by the treated wastewater, and the excellent sound insulation effect of the new factory building makes the entire factory area fresh and peaceful, and feel more like being in a garden rather than a noisy factory area.
But when they were taken into a worker's dormitory by the tour guide, in addition to the spacious and bright accommodation, they saw that there were many facilities under the dormitory building that ordinary companies would never set up, and were considered to be unnecessary supporting facilities. Entertainment rooms, stadiums, libraries, and even kindergartens. The tour guide proudly introduced that the four-person dormitory has TVs, telephones and network cables, and night shift workers can also get a hot late-night snack for free. Many workers can relax and rest in the dormitory area without leaving home.
All of this is attributed to Yang Xing's advance awareness. He knew that the golden era of vigorously developing manufacturing by relying on cheap labor in China would not be too long. In the future, with the addition of a new generation of migrant workers and the awakening of their own rights, relying solely on low wages will not attract foreign workers to work thousands of miles away. At that time, in addition to having to gradually increase workers' wages, who can provide caring employee benefits to better win people's hearts.
Moreover, in the future, Zhongxing International's products want to be exported to the world. Western developed countries have always been strict with their labor treatment standards. He does not want to encounter Foxconn's treatment in the future. He is criticized by Western public opinion as a sweatshop. Therefore, he does not think about reducing costs to worsening the environment and reducing workers' treatment. Perhaps there will be some pressure at the beginning, but he believes that this will be worth it in the long run.
When Kan Dongtian heard Yang Xing tell the reason why he valued employee welfare so much, he felt deeply moved: "I have been thinking about why there is a wall separated by a wall, and there is a world of difference between inside and outside. Today I understand that our cadres lack the long-term vision of you, and they are restricted by the old rules and regulations for too long. I think Xiao Fan is very influenced by you in this regard. How about you think I will add some more burden to him and let him serve as the director of the liaison office of the Industrial Zone and the Central Star City and the deputy director of the Management Committee?"
Kan Dongtian's voice was not loud, but Fan Wei couldn't suppress his ecstasy expression. Yang Xing smiled bitterly after hearing this. Kan Dongtian took the opportunity to show goodwill, and saw that he would push his friends and make some contributions to the city. Now the industrial zone is the top priority of the city's economy. As the deputy director, the position of the management committee is much hotter than the investment promotion office. However, the establishment of a liaison office with Central Star City obviously wanted to learn from the advanced management experience of Xingcheng and improve the management level of the industrial zone. Kan Dongtian's abacus was really good!
