Chapter two hundred and seventy-two jealous
When the bonus was announced, everyone's morale suddenly lifted.
Next, Lin Yuhang signaled that the meeting officially started. First, the supply and marketing department reported the sales situation, then the finance department reported the capital situation, and finally the workshop directors of the three workshops reported the production situation...
The meeting went on step by step, and there was a lot of good news, but of course there was also bad news.
The main reason for this bad news is that production has been unable to keep up with sales. With the booming sales of products, the products of the Eighth Factory are not only in short supply throughout Yanjing, but also in the surrounding areas of Yanjing.
But with the production capacity of the eight factories, even if they work overtime and three shifts now, they still can't meet the demand. In addition, raw materials are also a problem. Chinese patent medicines are not ordinary Western medicines. The raw materials required are not those chemicals, but mostly plants.
For drugs of this type, these raw materials are subject to seasonality and processing techniques. Due to these restrictions, the originally purchased inventory has been nearly exhausted, while the procurement of new raw materials has not kept up.
In addition to these, Lao Lu from the supply and marketing department also pointed out that with the booming sales of the products of the eight factories, their products have attracted the attention of other factories.
Now, some manufacturers have begun to follow the example of Factory Eight and prepare similar products. Song Yuanchao had anticipated this before, so he deliberately avoided local manufacturers in Yanjing when choosing packaging. The purpose was to use this method to create a time difference.
Since other factories don’t know the packaging source of Factory 8 for a while, they can only contact a few local factories in Yanjing and ask about their production and supply with the packaging samples of Factory 8. Although this kind of packaging is not technically difficult
, with the capabilities of the factories in Yanjing, they can completely produce it, but because it involves mold opening and other processes, it will take some time for them to follow the example of the Eighth Factory to produce the same product.
However, this trend has already begun to appear. From this point of view, I am afraid that similar products from other manufacturers will appear one after another in a month. By then, the advantage of the Eighth Factory in this regard will no longer be an advantage.
In addition, there is another problem, that is, I learned from other sources that several Chinese medicine manufacturers saw that the products of No. 8 Factory were selling so well and went directly to the superior department to complain.
"Complain? Why didn't I know? When did it happen? What are you suing us for?" Lin Yuhang frowned and asked.
Lao Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Director, I just learned about this. A good friend from the Sixth Factory secretly called me today."
"The directors of the fifth, sixth and seventh factories went to the superior department to file a complaint against us the day before yesterday, saying that our sales and packaging methods were evil and were used to induce the public to use our medicines.
, and also...still..."
"What else?" Lin Yuhang asked.
Lao Lu took a deep breath: "They also said that what we did was poaching the corners of socialism and exploiting the loopholes in medical reimbursement to make a fortune. Such despicable methods must be stopped immediately and the corresponding responsibilities must be held accountable..."
"Play the piano!" As soon as Lao Lu finished speaking, Gu Yongping, the deputy director in charge of production, slapped the table on the table with such force that the cup on the table jumped.
Gu Yongping was born as a worker. In his early years, he served as a team leader and workshop director in the workshop. He was promoted to deputy factory director a few years ago.
Lao Gu has a straightforward temper, a loud voice, and a fiery personality. He has always been nicknamed "Big Pao" in the factory, so everyone also calls him Gu Dapao in private.
"These bastards clearly have sour grapes and are jealous! What do you mean by poaching socialist corners? In what age are you still on the agenda? Do they think this was only a few years ago? The country advocates reform and opening up.
All walks of life are blooming, and they are good. When we were in trouble, they stood by and refused to help. Now that they see our No. 8 Factory turning over, they jump out and make irresponsible remarks. It is simply shameless!"
"Lao Gu, please calm down." On the side, Liu, another deputy factory elder, said to smooth things over: "You can't stop this from others. As the saying goes, one person can feed all kinds of people. What kind of things are they?
You still don’t know? Let them talk to you, it’s a lot of meat, your body is yours, it’s not worth getting angry.”
Gu Yongping cursed again angrily, hating these guys so much in his heart. When the Eighth Factory was in poor performance, as the production director, he went to several brother factories for help, but what did they say to him at that time?
?Anyway, they were pushy and pushy, asking for help without having to talk, and they also deliberately vented their bitterness in front of themselves, saying that their lives were also difficult and other nonsense.
But now, the Eighth Factory has finally seen hope. They have just lived a good life for a few days. These guys don't necessarily think that the Eighth Factory is good, but they do such a trick behind the scenes. It is simply intolerable!
Old Liu comforted Gu Yongping for a few words, and then turned to Lin Yuhang and said: "Director, this matter is not big or small, but actually when we think about it, we did make a sidestep. If the superior department pursues it, you see
…?”
Lin Yuhang knew in his heart what Lao Liu didn't say. In fact, he couldn't say that the content of the complaint from those brother factories was much ado about nothing. He had actually considered this since Lin Yuhang decided on this matter. After all, the products they sell now
It can be said that medicine is medicine, but in fact the biggest highlight is not the medicine, but the outer packaging of the medicine.
Get a warm cup for packaging, and take advantage of the loopholes in the current medical reimbursement system, making the unsalable product suddenly become a hot product.
Everyone present is not stupid, including Lin Yuhang. Of course, they know that few people prepare these medicines based on the amount of medicine, while the vast majority of people only look at the good cup-warming portion in the outer packaging.
That's all.
Otherwise, how could the Eighth Factory sell so many products in just over half a month? Not to mention those hospitals and pharmacies would have several bottles of "patients" as soon as they opened.
Even if you eat a bottle of loquat paste every day, it will take a month or two. If you eat it every three to five times, it will be fine for half a year. But now it is common for some people to open five or six bottles at a time, and some people even open more.
.
Could it be that the loquat paste and cough syrup of the Eighth Factory are made from the flat peaches of the Queen Mother or the ginseng fruit of Zhen Yuanzi? Or can they be eaten as food? This is simply impossible! There is only one reason for this, and that is that they really
The purpose is not loquat ointment and cough syrup, but that warm cup.
From this point of view, it is really a bit of a stretch to go online, but for Lin Yuhang, he must do it even so, because only in this way can the fate of Factory 8 be saved, and this company that is already on the verge of life and death can be saved.
Factory No. 8 was rescued again.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yuhang put the matter aside for the time being, comforting everyone that it was just a minor matter, and that he would communicate with the superior department as soon as possible to avoid any impact on the Eighth Factory.
Everyone was a little relieved by Lin Yuhang's answer. After all, everyone knew that Lin Yuhang was not an ordinary factory director. He was not only a fighting hero, but also had a profound background. Maybe this seemed troublesome to outsiders, but to Lin Yuhang
It's not difficult to solve here.
The meeting continued. The whole meeting lasted for more than two hours. Many questions were raised, some of which were discussed and resolved on the spot. The other parts will be considered and dealt with in a targeted manner after the meeting.
After the meeting, Lin Yuhang returned to his office. He took a sip of tea and frowned while sitting on the chair.
Today's meeting was overall good, but there are two issues that must be resolved. One of them is about complaints, and the other is that production or raw materials can no longer keep up with sales.
The first of these two problems, Lin Yuhang, told everyone at the meeting that he would solve it, but in fact, Lin Yuhang did not have much confidence. Because he did not know what the superior department would ultimately conclude about this situation, so he went to the meeting
My words of comfort to everyone are just comfort.
As for the second problem that is imminent, if the sales are not met as soon as possible, then at most in a week or so, the products of the eight factories will reach the point where there will be no products to sell.
It's ridiculous to say that not long ago, Lin Yuhang was worried about having a full warehouse of products, but now he is worried about having no inventory in the warehouse. Thinking of this, Lin Yuhang couldn't help but laugh and cry.
He lit a cigarette and thought silently. After a long time, Lin Yuhang's thoughts were brought back to reality by a knock on the door.
When he saw that it was the director of the factory office, he asked Lin Yuhang if he had any other plans. If he had no plans for today, he would get off work first. Only then did Lin Yuhang realize that it was already time to get off work in the blink of an eye.
After asking the director of the factory office to get off work first, Lin Yuhang got up and walked around the workshop to actually look at the current production. After coming out of the workshop, he returned to the office and changed clothes. Lin Yuhang got off work early today for the first time.
You must know that because the factory works in three shifts these days, Lin Yuhang, as the factory director, has to stay until eight or nine o'clock in the evening before going back every day, but today he left before six o'clock.
After riding away from No. 8 Factory, Lin Yuhang did not go home, but went straight to Song Yuanchao's courtyard house.
When he arrived at the courtyard, as expected, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan had just prepared dinner and were about to eat. When they saw Lin Yuhang, they came over to him and let him in quickly, asking if he had eaten.
"I haven't eaten it yet. It came directly from the factory."
"Okay, you'll eat at my place today, Yanzi, bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks for second brother." Song Yuanchao greeted Lin Yuhang to the table, and after he sat down, he asked: "Second brother, do you want something to drink?"
"Forget it, I won't drink anymore. Let's eat first. I have something to talk to you about after eating." Lin Yuhang waved his hand and said, since he doesn't want to drink, he will just eat. He will finish it in a while.
After dinner, Lin Yan knew that Lin Yuhang had something to do with Song Yuanchao, so she immediately took the initiative to clear away the dishes. Song Yuanchao softly thanked Lin Yan for their hard work, then went into the west wing with Lin Yuhang, made tea, handed Lin Yuhang a cigarette, and waited for him
