The sky in early autumn is as blue as the vast and quiet sea, without a trace of cloud. The sea breeze blowing from the East China Sea makes the air moist, and it feels particularly fresh and refreshing to breathe.

"product!"

Two words came from the conference room of Liuhe Company's two-story Little Red Building.

"Now, we must come up with our flagship product!"

After emphasizing the two words, Li Zicheng continued to speak.

"I'm not talking about match factories, railways, nail factories, machine repairs, but industrial products in the true sense!"

Several consecutive ones are not, in fact, negating the dozen or so factories that the company has set up in Lianyungang in the past three months to resettle workers or build supporting factories for the construction of Lianyungang.

"Now, except for the match factory, the company is seeing benefits, the nail factory, and machine repair are almost all for self-use. In other words, now we in Liuhe and Lianyungang are just doing nothing but eating!"

A vulgar metaphor came out of Li Zicheng's mouth, which only slightly changed the atmosphere in the conference room.

Although Lianyungang was founded less than four months ago, there are already more than a dozen factories of various sizes in Lianyungang. However, the truly profitable factories, except for "Tiger Head Matches", are all produced by others in Lianyungang.

There are even some factories that are simply making money from the company.

"Although the motorcycle factory and machinery factory have not yet been built, don't forget that the dozen or so completed factories are equipped with the best equipment imported from Germany and the United States. That kind of equipment is placed in

Well, it can’t just be used to train workers!”

Looking at these people, Li Zicheng shook a pencil in his right hand.

"This is a charter like mine. In the next few months, we will use all the company's machines that can be used. You must know that the company now supports tens of thousands of laborers!"

You don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive when you are not a farmer. The retired civilian army is moving here in boats and trucks. In order to prevent those people from having an idle life, you have to find work for them. The work is to work on those projects, but the project is not the same.

Look, this company's financial expenses are like running water. It spends several million a month, but its income is only tens of thousands.

"Flour machinery, textile machinery, simple machining machinery! This is what we will produce in the future!"

When describing these types of equipment, Li Zicheng explained solemnly.

"After the Republic of China, one of its functions was to promote the rapid growth of modern industry and commerce. Whether it was Sun Yat-sen or Yuan Shikai, the government promulgated a large number of laws and regulations that were conducive to the development of industry and commerce. Nowadays, the purpose of developing domestic products industry and promoting the sale of domestic products is

Social movements have begun to surge in the country. All this has greatly stimulated the great enthusiasm of the Chinese people to run industries and develop domestic products. As a result, the right time, place and people have made China's industry and commerce enter a golden period of development. In running industries, they also use

Flour with the simplest technology, textile is the most important! The increase of machine-made flour mills and modern textile mills has also driven the machine repair industry. Therefore, we must now focus on these three footholds and combine flour machinery, textile machinery, and simple machine machining.

Machinery has become the company’s source of profit!”

After some explanation, everyone finally understood what the chairman meant. This is the simplest market supply and demand.

"Chairman, these three types of equipment are now dependent on imports. If the company can produce the same equipment, due to the demand for factory construction, if it is of high quality and low price, it will naturally have no worries about sales. But, in terms of technology..."

The company's chief accountant, China Resources Quan, pondered for a moment and then asked.

Listening to his question, Li Zicheng just smiled slightly. Maybe he was short of money, but the only thing he didn't lack was technology. He just lacked technicians who could attract technology to his own use.

"Runquan, there is no technical problem with this. I have prepared some drawings. Although there are still some problems to be solved in the production process, there should be no problem in producing products according to the drawings."

It's nothing more than a copycat! And now my own copycat is much better than those companies of later generations. At least I have drawings and data in my hands. I can solve the problem of mechanical imitation first, and then in the future I can analyze and figure out the product design and related development data.

The design ideas and methods of those devices.

"Haven't we already started to produce some simple equipment? This is the beginning. From simple to complex, the factory will concentrate the best technicians and workers on equipment production. We cannot rely on imports for all equipment.

We will also make some of them ourselves, and let some of the workers, especially those who are being trained, produce simple machinery under the guidance of their masters. In this way, when the two major factories are built tomorrow, we will have a large number of skilled workers.

!”

Closing the laptop, Mu, the company manager, nodded.

"Just follow the chairman's instructions!"

There is no argument or discussion. For the dozen Liuhe Company executives in this conference room, all they need now is to obey, and at this time, they cannot give much advice. After all, the company is just

In the construction stage, what they need to do most of the time is to make reasonable arrangements and adjust the company's resources.

Problems such as the placement of more and more workers, the coordination of project progress in various factories, as well as the ordering of foreign equipment and the introduction of technical personnel are the issues they need to consider. As for the company's "loss-making operations", in everyone's eyes,

It is inevitable.

"Chairman!"

After everyone left the conference room, China Resources Quan, the company's chief accountant, did not leave.

"Runquan, is there anything else?"

Putting away his notebook, Li Zicheng asked with a smile.

He is an accountant hired by himself. He studied in England and Japan. Before coming to the company, he served as the deputy chief accountant of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Public Settlement. He is an expert who is proficient in law and accounting. From the very beginning, when he established Liuhe Company, he

Instead of using the traditional Chinese-style old accountants, modern enterprises must have modern new accounting methods. In the end, after much selection, I chose him. The person who can serve as the deputy chief accountant in the Ministry of Industry Bureau is by no means an ordinary person.

“There are a lot of people in the company now!”

China Resources Quan uttered something confusing.

"Well, it can't be cut. This is a burden left to me by our president!"

Nodding, Li Zicheng vaguely guessed what suggestion his "general accountant" wanted to make, which was nothing more than layoffs.

"However, it depends on how you look at this baggage. On the surface, it looks like a baggage, but if it is done well, those people will become a cornucopia of treasure!"

"I understand what the company means. People, although more people are a problem, but more people can make Lianyungang lively. The population of Lianyungang now is more than the people of Qingdao six or seven years ago. The management committee will go up

More than 300 stores are rented out every month, which is due to its popularity!"

As the company's chief accountant, China Resources Quan certainly knows what the chairman means, and also knows that the company has to carry this burden, and it is the kind of burden that cannot be shaken off.

"Chairman, I am referring to another group of people from Dalian!"

"Um?"

His eyes slightly opened, Li Zicheng really didn't understand what China Resources Spring meant.

"We can't use so many workers now! But the company has to support them!"

"I brought them here!"

He smiled dryly. After receiving his first month's salary, Li Zicheng understood what it meant to be fat. The workers poached from Dalian were pretty good, especially those who installed equipment in the factory.

It was put to great use in 1998, but the problem is that now the company simply does not have enough factories and equipment for those workers to work.

"Now let them train workers in one area and make full use of them. In the future, the factory..."

"But wages have to be paid!"

Huarunquan's words made Li Zicheng look at him. This old Hua was very clever and resourceful. Since he mentioned this matter, he must have a solution in mind.

"Runquan, stop playing tricks and just give me your trick!"

The chairman's words only made China Resources Quan smile, and then he took out an advertisement he had already written from his notebook.

"Chairman, the investment promotion in Lianyungang is not going very smoothly right now! So I drafted an advertisement!"

After a pause, China Resources Quan handed over the advertisement. As the company's chief accountant, he naturally knew that the so-called way of "providing the best investment environment and working with people of insight to build an industrial power" was just a slogan. The company needed those

People's money, companies here are tax-free, but management fees are a disguised tax. But for the company, the most important thing is the factory land rent. If half of the land in the industrial zone can be rented out, at least it will be the land rent alone.

It's enough to pay staff wages.

"Provide workers to factories investing in Lianyungang!"

Looking at the advertisement in his hand, Li Zicheng couldn't help but be surprised. This must be a bit too big.

"Chairman, since we don't need it now, let's be generous and lend it to them. As for the wages, they will definitely not be happy with the high wages we give, and the workers will definitely not be happy either. Let them contribute part of it, and the company will bear part of it.

, those people who set up factories, like us, are most worried about the workers. If we can provide workers and sign a contract with them, and lend them a year, these workers will not only help them with their work, but also help them with training.

Workers, this way, compared to Shanghai and Qingdao, we have one more bargaining chip!"

Thinking about it, this is a way to save money, but the idea of ​​​​providing workers is too full. If they open a cotton mill or something, can you go there and find female workers for them?

Li Zicheng raised his head, met Huarunquan's gaze, and found that he was smiling at her, with a hint of weirdness in the smile in his eyes. In an instant, Li Zicheng felt happy and pointed his finger.

"Runquan, you...you have to do it like this!"

This is the second update. I finally found some free time today. I have a lot of things at the end of the year. I hope you all can understand.)...
