After more than three months, when he came to the new factory again, Xu Ma felt that the place had changed a lot and there was no longer the desolate and dilapidated ones as before.
The young security guard guarding the gate saw a group of people coming over and hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"What are you doing?"
Xu's mother did not make things difficult for the little security guard, so she took off the work permit on her neck and handed it over.
When the young security guard looked at the photos on his work permit, he immediately recalled the information of the company leaders, especially the photos of the big boss. If Xu Ma hadn't been sitting in a wheelchair, he would have recognized it immediately.
The other party quickly saluted Xu Ma:
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"
Xu Dong helped his mother take the work permit, then hung it back on her mother's neck. When entering and leaving the factory, the work permit is essential.
"Is Mr. Xu in the factory?" Xu Ma asked.
In the past two months, Xu's father has spent most of his time and energy on the new factory, and sometimes he even worked too late to sleep in the factory.
"Dr. Xu didn't come today."
"You go busy!"
Xu's mother waved her hand to send the security guard away, then took out her cell phone and called her husband.
It turned out that Xu's father went to the city for a meeting. Mayor He invited him and probably wouldn't come back in the morning.
"Okay, come back for breakfast at noon."
After hanging up the phone, the group began to enter the factory. The entire factory area was very large. Yu Maolin, the head of the new factory who came to hear the news, drove a tour bus directly over.
"Mr. Zhang, welcome, who are these?"
Xu Ma pointed to her younger son and introduced: "This is our third son, Xu Dong, Dongfang's Dong. This is his first time here today. Dongzi, this is Mr. Yu, the general manager of the new factory."
"Hello, Mr. Yu!"
"Secretary Xu, I have heard Mr. Xu talk about you a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet you finally today."
As an experienced senior manager, Yu Maolin has long investigated the family background of the boss's family clearly.
As expected, the person in front of me will definitely be the successor of Mr. Xu in the future, so I cannot neglect it no matter what.
"You're welcome, just call me Xiao Xu."
"No, no, we are at most ten years apart. It's better to have a fellow disciple. I call you Lao Xu, and you can also call me Lao Yu."
"Okay, Lao Yu." Xu Dong was so kind.
Yu Maolin nodded with a smile.
Xu Ma pointed at Niu Qian and the others and introduced: "These two are children from my friend's family. They will come to our company to work in a few days. This time, they mainly want to visit the factory."
"Hello, Mr. Yu! My name is Niu Qian. This is my girlfriend Su Tong. Please take care of me in the future."
Although Niu Qian is an honest man, he is not stupid. Instead of using Xu Ma's identity to "put on his power", he put his attitude very low and even put it in a hint of flattery.
"You two are welcome to join the company. Let me tell you the truth. Our factory has one of the best benefits. I believe that neither of you will regret it in the future."
Yu Maolin encouraged.
"Thanks!"
Su Tong quickly expressed his gratitude. The trip today was really worth it.
Yu Maolin waved his hand, then looked at Xu Ma and asked, "Mr. Zhang, should we walk over or take a bus?"
"Let's take the bus. My legs are almost done, so I can take the bus."
After all, Xu Ma was just a fractured calf.
Xu Dong helped his mother into the car, and folded the wheelchair and placed it behind the car.
"Mr. Zhang, where are we going first?"
"Let's go to the production workshop first. I heard that you can produce more than 800,000 bread every day. I want to see the production process." Xu Ma replied.
“Go to workshop No. 1.”
Yu Maolin quickly ordered the driver to drive.
Xu Dong took the opportunity to interrupt and said, "Lao Yu, how many production lines are there in the factory now?"
"There are four built at present, and twenty-six are under construction." Yu Maolin replied.
"Why are you building so many at once?"
Xu Dong frowned. Disorderly expansion is a taboo. My dad has learned a lesson before, so it shouldn’t be!
"There's no way. In May, the city suddenly issued a death order."
Yu Maolin explained with a wry smile:
"By the end of this year, the new factory must reach a production scale of 2 billion units per year, which is about 6 million units per day."
Su Tong, who was standing beside him, became stunned when he heard this number.
Two billion?
What is this? On average, for all the residents of the capital, each person can get about twenty items, which is almost equivalent to half a month's ration.
"How to solve the funding problem?"
"What else can I do? I can only use a bank loan. This time I was also guaranteed by the city, and I borrowed a total of 2 billion yuan. Fortunately, the loan interest rate is relatively low, only 8.6%.
“It’s calculated annually?”
Yu Maolin nodded. If the inflation rate is included, this loan is almost no different from interest-free loans, and there are even some profits.
The only limitation is that it is dedicated.
If this money is invested in other industries, such as going to the high seas to conduct deep-sea aquaculture, he is confident that he will be able to recover all investment within two years.
"Have you ever calculated how many years you can pay off your loan?" Xu Dong asked.
"It will take at least five years."
"Why did it take so long? Isn't there a bread processing fee? According to your production capacity, you can charge 2 billion yuan a year. Even if all costs are deducted, it should be fine to pay off the loan in two or three years, right?"
Xu Dong said in confusion.
Xu Ma also looked suspicious.
Yu Maolin quickly explained:
"Mr. Zhang, Lao Xu, the accounts cannot be settled like this.
Among the company's customers, members account for at least one-third. This part not only does not make money, but also has to pay more.
After comprehensive calculations, the annual revenue is about one billion yuan, and if you consider the operating costs, you can have a net profit of 400 million to 500 million yuan."
"Why is the operating cost so high?"
"Old Xu, listen to me and you. The new factory is expected to recruit 3,000 employees. Just one salary alone will cost 2000 to 300 million yuan a year, plus water and electricity..."
"Wait, it's wrong!" Xu Dong shook his head, "Even if there are thirty production lines, it won't require so many employees, right?"
Yu Maolin nodded: "There are indeed not enough people on the production line. There are 30 or 40 people on each line. The extra people are from the logistics department."
"What does it mean? We are also responsible for the delivery to our door?"
"The city plans to add bread to the purchase list of the grain store. We must deliver the goods to our door, and we also need to set up an escort department to prevent accidents."
With the increasing tension in rations, these trucks responsible for transporting bread will definitely become targets for those who are interested, and some necessary protective measures are essential.
In addition, the employment rate in the capital area has always remained high. The city has taken away half of the employment quotas and is waiting for the full completion of the production line.
In short, that two billion loan was not for nothing.
Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh. There will be no pie falling from the sky. There will be gains and losses. Five years is about five years, as long as you can pay off the loan.
Life will be very difficult in the next few years. I believe no one dares to make trouble at this time.
