Many people agree that Qishan Meat Cotton Factory accepts Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory, especially the deputy director of Zheng Shutong, who is both public and private, and he is happy about this.

From the perspective of meat-related factory, the Ningzhou cold storage factory was first reduced the construction period of the new project; secondly, it can receive strong support through the Ningzhou Materials Bureau and the Planning Committee, and find a new breakthrough in the supply of raw materials. In terms of product sales, it can also directly enter a larger market through the unified management of the national planning department; thirdly, it solves the big problem of talent recruitment. New recruitment and re-hired personnel can no longer have to work in small places like Qishan, and can choose to work in the new Qishan Meat-related Factory Ningzhou 3rd Factory. If you want to recruit college students, you can also directly hang the files in Ningzhou without worrying about being assigned to the countryside.

These are the three major benefits brought by the merger of Ningzhou cold storage factory, each of which is very important, especially the third one.

For Zheng Shutong personally, he could be transferred directly to Qishan Meat Factory with confidence. He planned to take his wife to work in Ningzhou No. 3 Factory Area, and his children also transferred to Ningzhou Middle School to study.

He had already talked about these things with Yang Shaozong, and Yang Shaozong was naturally very supportive. He also introduced him to Cheng Xuguo, deputy director of Ningzhou Education Bureau, and temporarily rented a cadre house for him in Ningzhou to facilitate his family of three to live. In the future, Zheng Shutong could take a car from the transportation team to rest and get together with his family as long as he had a vacation.

Even if Zheng Shutong has few holidays, his wife can take her children to Qishan to visit him. It is only an hour from Ningzhou to Qishan, which is much better than living in the Yangtze River City and Qishan Commune.

So, Zheng Shutong is really happy.

He has rich management experience in a large state-owned factory. After winning the Ningzhou cold storage factory in a blitzkrieg way, Yang Shaozong transferred him to the cold storage factory owner to carry out employee rectification work.

As a result, Zheng Shutong was a little overjoyed because the situation of Ningzhou cold storage factory was so bad that it could not be worse. Among the 1,127 employees in the factory, 30 middle-aged and elderly employees over 50 years old. Although these people are a little older, they can still insist on coming to work. About half of the employees do not come to work for a long time. Because the factory cannot pay wages, they do not do any management.

The work discipline of employees in the factory is simply indescribable. They urinate and defecate anywhere, wear slippers at work, get off work after ten minutes of work, and steal privately... are all very common situations.

The equipment of the two cold drink production lines of Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory is seriously aging. It is not that the equipment is outdated, but that the daily maintenance is too poor, which can basically be considered as early reimbursement.

After more than ten days of rectification work in the factory, Zheng Shutong couldn't wait to go back to Qishan to find Yang Shaozong to report the situation.

Zheng Shutong came back in a transport team car and arrived at the management committee compound at 9 a.m., but Yang Shaozong and Xiao Wei and former vice principal of Ningzhou No. 2 Middle School went to Qishan Middle School at around 8 a.m.

Qishan Middle School also has traditions, okay?

In 1927, when there was no secondary school education in many parts of the country, some gentry in Qishan area donated money to run a Qishan Public School, which is called the predecessor of Qishan Middle School. The campus is still here, but the buildings from sixty years ago are no longer known where they are!

Today, Qishan Middle School has only six rows of large classrooms with red bricks and tiles left. Three rows belong to junior high schools, one row belong to high schools, and two rows are the principal's office, teaching office, finance room, storage room, library, art room, music teacher, laboratory, sports equipment room...!

The school’s playground was covered with weeds, with only two soccer goal posts alone, and only a layer of coal slag was laid on the runway.

Such a school is extremely simple. I visited it with Xiao Wei and Yang Shaozong. Principal Liu Guangyuan, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help but retreat and kept muttering in his heart.

Such schools also want to achieve some results?

Isn’t Director Cheng kidding?

Although Liu Guangyuan thought so, he couldn't say it out directly.

But his expression always reveals some traces. He felt that he was very dissatisfied with the situation here. Yang Shaozong smiled and sighed: "Principal Liu, it is really difficult for you to ask you to work in such a school, but don't worry, our commune is already asking for a special fund from the Provincial Department of Education. In addition, we will also allocate some funds to build teaching buildings!"

Listening to this, Liu Guangyuan thought it was a joke. He said: "The teaching building is not in a hurry for the time being. Let's try to improve it as much as possible on the existing basis. Although these classrooms were built a few years ago, the lighting and layout of the entire lighting and layout are unreasonable. The desks are too old, so if you can change them, you can change them. The office environment of the teachers is too poor. Do the basic work and see if you can rebuild a new teaching area next year. If you want to achieve results, you may need a large amount of investment at one time!"

Xiao Wei smiled indifferently and said, "Then how much do you think you need to invest at one time?"

Liu Guangyuan thought for a moment and said, "Just take the standards of an ordinary township middle school, Qishan Middle School has a very different and historical debt. If you want to make Qishan Middle School reach the level of a county middle school according to your ideas, the minimum investment of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan is the minimum. At least two teaching buildings must be built. The existing campus will be left alone for the high school department, and other facilities and conditions must also be kept up."

Xiao Wei looked at Yang Shaozong and asked carefully: "Is there any problem?"

Yang Shaozong shook his head with confidence and said, "There is no problem. The Qishan area is not good arable land. The area divided at the beginning is very large, which is enough for use and expansion over the years. In this way, we will strive to take out 800,000 from the commune next year, and maintain this strength every year, and make steady progress. Within three years, we will reach the teaching hardware scale of Huaixi County No. 2 Middle School, within five years, and follow the city center in seven to ten years."

Xiao Wei smiled knowingly and said, "You are really in this style. You can make a big plan step by step in everything. Okay, I will go to the province tomorrow to talk to Director Wan of the Education Department to see if I can get a special fund for education construction. The prefectural committee and county committee will not miss it, and try as much as I can!"

Yang Shaozong said: "Our commune spends at least 800,000 yuan on infrastructure next year, and the money we strive for from above is what we earn more, so we will invest in it together. President Xiao, if the education is not done well, we will have no real way out in Qishan!"

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "You are saying this for yourself!"

Yang Shaozong smiled leisurely and then asked Liu Guangyuan: "Principal Liu, if there is such support, do you think there is any problem?"

Liu Guangyuan smiled quietly and said, "As long as your commune is really willing to invest, what's the problem? Oh, where are your original middle school principals, why didn't we see him?"

Yang Shaozong replied: "We just contacted Principal Chen for training at the Provincial Department of Education. He is preparing for this matter. He will report to the Provincial Education System Party School at the end of the month. It will take about three months to go there, and later you will also participate in the adult bachelor's degree study at the Yangtze River Normal University. At the same time, you will be on the job for training in the School Affairs Office of the Affiliated High School of Normal University. It takes about two years to go! So, after the winter vacation, you will temporarily serve as the principal of our Qishan Middle School when you arrive at the school!"

"oh……!"

Liu Guangyuan pondered silently. Of course, he understood that the commune was making arrangements for him to come to work. If the commune had such determination and courage, it would not be a big problem. Even if the investment was small, it would not matter.

Thinking of this, he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I'll come here to help you with it for a few years, and strive to reach the level of an ordinary middle school in the county within three years."

Yang Shaozong shook hands with Liu Guangyuan eagerly and said, "Thank you, Principal Liu, we will hand it over to you. In the future, our children in Qishan will also entrust them to you!"

"Don't worry, I will do my best!"

Liu Guangyuan clapped Yang Shaozong's hand honestly, and was very happy that he had such an opportunity. Although it was safe to stay at Ningzhou No. 2 Middle School as the vice principal, he could feel that his new job in Qishan might be a new opportunity for him.

At noon, Liu Guangyuan was invited to have dinner at the commune. This time, many leaders attached great importance to it. Song Changming and Xiao Wei were going to come forward in person, so Yang Shaozong didn't plan to join in the fun.

After accompanying Liu Guangyuan to Qishan Primary School for another visit, Yang Shaozong hurried back to the Economic Office and prepared to arrange the recent work with Zhao Ying, which was approaching the end of the year. The commune is now in a hurry to squeeze out some money to pay dividends to the members.

Although the commune currently has not much money in its account, the overall situation is indeed very good. All members can see it. Moreover, many major reforms have been carried out this year, and there are not many benefits and dividends distributed by the end of the year, which does not seem to prove that the reform has benefits!

When he returned to the Economic Office, Yang Shaozong did not see Zhao Ying, but found Zheng Shutong waiting for him in the office.

"Hey, why are you back?"

Yang Shaozong was very surprised. He originally estimated that Zheng Shutong would not return from Ningzhou until at least late this month.

"Oh, stop talking!"

Zheng Shutong also sighed and said to Yang Shaozong: "Director Yang, the situation in Ningzhou is worse than we expected in advance. I have to hurry to discuss it with you!"

"Oh... Then tell me!"

While listening, Yang Shaozong poured tea, and then sat opposite Zheng Shutong and dripped a cigarette for him.

Zheng Shutong sighed unluckyly: "The employees of Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory are simply a group of waste, but the more slack is the cadres in their factory, and they don't care about it. The factory has not paid any wages for more than four months, and we have only paid a month after we went over. When the wages were paid, there were about 1,000 people, but the next day, there were only more than 300 people coming to work."

Yang Shaozong had already expected this and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. You just make drastic rectifications. If you really can't stop the trend, all the upper-level cadres in their factory will be suspended and let them find a way out. I have already talked to Director Gu before. He absolutely agrees with me to do this. Some of them are his acquaintances, and he will find another way to arrange it. Let's not have any scruples!"

Zheng Shutong said: "The first thing I need to chop is that Director Pang, who is incompetent to get home!"

Yang Shaozong was not in a hurry to express his opinion. In his opinion, Director Pang still has some effect. At least he cooperated very well in the entire acquisition process and could actively persuade other employees to obey management.

He lit the cigarette, took a few thoughts and asked, "Let me tell me specifically!"

Zheng Shutong said: "This Director Pang took over as the factory director in 1983. At that time, Ningzhou cold storage factory was not as good as it is today. As long as he is really responsible, it is impossible to achieve this situation today. He is very active now, but I think he is incompetent and has no sense of responsibility. Staying with the branch manager as a deputy director is not qualified. I suggest selecting a few old comrades and old party members from the old employees who have been in the factory during the founding period, and they will take the lead in getting the union affairs back to serve as the branch secretary and the union chairman of the factory, and directly replace this Director Pang. Based on the Ningzhou cold storage factory, we can recruit a new factory director with high salary, high energy and high education!"

Yang Shaozong is very good at building state-owned enterprises. He knew that Zheng Shutong is worthy of being Zheng Shutong. This idea is very good, and immediately agreed: "Okay, just do it."

Zheng Shutong was relieved when he heard this and smiled and said, "Since Director Yang supports this, it will be easier for me to work in Ningzhou factory. There are two production workshops in the cold storage factory, one is an ordinary slaughtering workshop, the other is a cold drink production line, and there are two projects in the second workshop, one is popsicles and the other is soda. Due to the serious lack of maintenance and even malicious damage to employees, their production equipment can be basically reimbursed now. I have talked with people from Ningzhou Food Machinery Factory. While we are introducing the canned production line, they sent people to overhaul the existing production equipment in the factory. At that time, I want to go to the Provincial Food Industry Research Institute to see if I can find a few new formulas and produce some new products."

Yang Shaozong was also very relaxed. Zheng Shutong's existence was indeed a very important supplement to him. He could basically let go of his hands and hand over the meat-coupled factory to Yang Jianlin and Zheng Shutong.

Yang Jianlin works outside the factory, and Zheng Shutong focuses on production and operation. The effect of the two is 11>2. With Yang Jianlin's political mind and style of dealing with people and things, he will basically not have conflicts with Zheng Shutong. In fact, as long as the other party is not crazy and takes credit, Yang Jianlin is easy to partner with anyone.

After thinking a little, Yang Shaozong and Zheng Shutong made an idea: "You can re-register a new trademark and brand, add some banana, pineapple, milk, and strawberry flavor to the taste of popsicles. Anyway, it's fresh, and the shape can also be changed. Buy some new molds and change more shapes that children prefer, and change the packaging. When you make it, think of a way to change the ice cream."

Zheng Shutong also thought for a moment and asked, "What brand is that?"

Yang Shaozong had already made plans and said, "What children eat is simple and easy to remember, just let's have a sweet and sweet card."

Zheng Shutong smiled and said, "This name is really suitable for children, and it can make you feel particularly sweet at once, so use this trademark and brand."

Yang Shaozong also laughed out loud and said, "It turns out you like it too. Just do it all. Our canned ham sausages and seafood beef balls are marked with flags. The flags, popsicles and sodas in Qishan are marked with sweet honey. You not only need to register in our province, but also go to the capital to register and report the case. Before registering, it is best to go to the province to find a few art experts to do a trademark design. It doesn't matter if you spend some money. The important thing is to be beautiful. You can also refer to foreign trademark designs appropriately!"

Zheng Shutong said: "Director Yang is considerate in these matters. OK, I will speed up these matters when I go back to the factory!"

Yang Shaozong said: "You don't have to hurry to do it when you go back. You have to discuss with Director Yang Jianlin. You will be left to you for the matter in Ningzhou, but you don't have to be too nervous. There is something to do with the matter in Ningzhou. It doesn't matter in our second factory area. We must prepare for trial production at the end of the month!"

Zheng Shutong said: "Okay, Director Yang, don't worry, I know the importance of this. In fact, the matters in the second factory are almost ready, not to mention that Mr. Zeng is focusing on the second factory!"

Yang Shaozong nodded and said again: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of anything. We're betting big and winning big. If we really lose, we'll lose big!"

Zheng Shutong nodded, and his expression became extremely cautious.

Sweet!!!

This is really a good brand, it is very appropriate to make brands such as ice cream, candy, soda and so on.

Zheng Shutong and Yang Shaozong talked a lot about it, especially the fact that two canned meat products production lines were required in the first factory. During this period, the seafood beef ball market in Huaihai, Huaizhong and Binhai cities have also been opened. The situation is very good, but the limitations of this product can be detected in the Ningzhou market.

After two months of sales in Ningzhou, the growth rate of the originally popular seafood beef balls is no longer as good as before. At present, the sales growth in the Ningzhou market mainly comes from shrimp balls, fish balls, and seafood pork balls.

Yang Shaozong went to Ningzhou for this last time. In Ningzhou, Yang Shaozong taught Xu Xiaoli another trick, asking her to organize personnel to conduct consumer surveys in various vegetable markets, determine everyone's opinions on seafood, beef balls and other products, and start to improve and innovate.

From the current perspective, the initial freshness of seafood beef balls has passed, and their prices are still a bit high compared to normal families. They are usually only bought once a week or even once a half month.

Judging from the current sales situation, relying solely on the existing products and sales policies, the limit of monthly output value can be reached is 6 million yuan. If you want to further break through the restrictions, the best way is to produce canned flagship seafood beef balls and notify the extension of the shelf life to increase the sales range.

Yang Shaozong initially considered this matter, but he felt that it was difficult for Qishan Meat Factory to operate two major projects: Qipai Canned Seafood and Flag Ham Sausage, and it is very likely that neither end will succeed.

This is his opinion, but Qishan Meat Co., Ltd. is not his one-man show. Everyone has high expectations for seafood beef balls, so it is normal to rush to go to the canned production line.

Yang Shaozong's analysis is that this project can be done. The key is that it will not take long. At most two or three years, this product will face two major problems in the market. One is that the number of counterfeit products increases and competition is fierce; the other is that the market capacity is reduced and it is gradually replaced by other meat products.

Yang Shaozong did not tell anyone about these thoughts and estimates in his heart, nor did he tell Zheng Shutong, but he just asked Zheng Shutong to keep his attention in the factory. After all, the ham sausage project was too much investment, and Qishan Meat Union Factory could not afford to lose. He should focus all his energy on the ham sausage project. Canned seafood beef balls should be sold through the national supplies and planning system, and do not consume too much energy and attention.

The products under the Sweet Mimi brand are popsicles and soda. These two projects have been operating in Ningzhou cold storage factory for a long time, and the competition in Ningzhou market is also extremely fierce. Yang Shaozong means to directly hire several major managers with high salaries from competitors to operate, and not rush to decide the outcome with the opponent for the time being. It is the premise of competing for the market for new products and maintaining some foundations of Ningzhou cold storage factory.

Even after talking to Zheng Shutong for an afternoon, Zheng Shutong agreed with Yang Shaozong's proposals, but Yang Shaozong was still very worried. He, who was nicknamed Yang Dabang, was actually a very cautious person.

After getting out of the matter of Qishan Middle School, Yang Shaozong immediately held a meeting of all managers at Qishan Meat Cotton Factory. Through the meeting discussion, he further clarified this series of policies. The first factory area launched the canned food production line, and the third factory area first concentrated on rectifying the original popsicle and soda industries. The core work in the factory was still the ham sausage project in the second factory area.

The leading cadres in the factory re-divided the work. Yang Jianlin and Zheng Shutong personally took charge of the work in the second factory area. Zeng Guangfu and Zeng Lao were responsible for the work in the first factory area. After the third factory area abolished the position of Director Pang, they reorganized the trade union and the new Ningzhou factory employee restructuring committee. Then they re-selected the new factory director through public recruitment, and Zheng Shutong temporarily took charge of part of the work. Liu Qinghe, the workshop director hired from the Huaihai State-owned Qingpu Canning Factory, was sent to Ningzhou factory for a long time.

Yang Shaozong can't afford to lose, and he will not let himself lose in such a "small business".

After returning from Ningzhou, Yang Shaozong not only coordinated and directed the meat-and-machine factory, but also focused his main energy on the new projects in the second factory area. He also went to the second factory area to carry out production and debugging work. All production lines must start pre-production as soon as possible after debugging.

Yang Jianlin no longer serves as the head of the sales department. Pan Shimin was transferred back to the factory to hold this position. Yang Shaozong and Pan Shimin took the marketing work of flag-platter ham sausages. In addition to supplying part of the national planned material system, Yang Shaozong continued his own channel policies and had begun to recruit new supply and salesmen in other provinces.

With the Ningzhou Cold Storage Factory sign, this time, their recruitment conditions are even higher. The requirements are between 25 and 35 years old, regular college degree or above, and at least more than 5 years of work experience, certain management experience, and good at communicating with other business units.
