After settling all the matters in the port city, Tian Shao crossed the sea and returned to Yangcheng. Because the two newly ordered machines arrived last month, Tian Shao went to the garment factory first and asked Zhuang Yipeng about the use of the two machines.
.
Zhuang Yipeng said with a smile on his face: "Comrade Tian, with the new machine, we have raised the price of the clothes we produce by 60%, and everyone is still rushing to get them."
Not only that, we can also take orders from the port city for clothes with patterns. Ever since Liying Company asked them to do the processing, we have been working overtime every day for the past two years, and both the output value and the profit are quite considerable.
.
Zhuang Yipeng reported to Tian Shao on the business situation of the past six months, and then expressed to Tian Shao that he hoped to purchase another batch of machines to expand production capacity.
Tian Shao's face immediately sank when he heard this. He looked at him and said, "Don't talk about buying the machine again until you make back your capital."
The four machines I bought later cost more than 4 million. From the beginning of the garment factory to the present, the profit has been less than 3 million. Not only did I not make any money, I also made up more than 1 million. Of course, the machines can be used for several years, but
You can’t just think about expansion and not about profits.
Zhuang Yipeng felt that she was short-sighted and said: "Buy more machines and hire more people when the time comes. This way our production capacity will increase and our profits will be greater."
Tian Shao said with a cold face: "Zhuang Yipeng, Sister Xiaorou opened the garment factory to make money. If you can no longer distinguish the importance and focus on the scale, the factory director should be replaced."
Now I want to buy a lace machine, now I want to buy a hemming machine, and now I want to buy a sewing machine to expand production capacity. It’s right to want to expand production capacity, but at least I can maintain a break-even if I make enough money!
Zhuang Yipeng's enthusiasm seemed to have been poured with cold water, but he quickly said: "Comrade Tian, there are 120 sewing machines in the factory, running 24 hours a day, and the clothes produced are far from enough for four machines.
The operation of the machine. You can’t let it sit idle after spending so much money on it!”
Tian Shao said: "All your bonuses and dividends this year will be deducted, and the share rewards agreed with you will also be suspended. Also, if one of these machines is idle, you will find another job next year."
If the production capacity of her own factory cannot keep up, why can't she purchase and process it from outside, or help others process it and charge processing fees? She has never had anything to do with the factory, so she really just pretends that she doesn't understand anything.
Zhuang Yipeng's face changed slightly and he said: "Comrade Tian, I was wrong. Don't worry, I guarantee that the machine will work 24 hours a day. This year's profit will double that of last year."
Tian Shao said expressionlessly: "I can recommend you to Sister Xiaorou, and I can also make him replace you. Without Peony Company, do you think any other boss can give you such great authority? Zhuang Yipeng, please do well.
think about it!"
I used to think that this was a talent, but I didn’t expect that it would only take more than three years for it to flourish. But Zhuang Yipeng was not the only one, Xu Kun was the same. Alas, power and wealth can easily make people lose their sense of normalcy!
After Sangui sent Zhuang Yipeng away, he entered the room and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with Factory Director Zhuang? His face is so ugly."
Tian Shao said: "He asked me to buy another 60 sewing machines. I didn't agree and scolded him. I was too talkative before, so he bought the machine when he said he wanted to."
Sankui hesitated for a moment and said: "Sister, Director Zhuang is also doing it for the good of the factory. Our current clothes have been raised in price and everyone is rushing to buy them. The more we produce, the more we earn."
"I haven't received a penny. The so-called profit is false."
Sankui has been struggling outside for so many years, and he is more courageous than before: "But for long-term development, we still need to expand the scale! Otherwise, we will be surpassed soon."
“What is my purpose in opening a factory?”
"Make money!"
Tian Shao said angrily: "Tell me about long-term development? I still don't know about long-term development. But long-term development doesn't just mean asking me to give money to expand the scale. As a factory director, what should he be thinking about?
Earn more money, and then use the money earned to purchase machinery to expand production."
After a pause, she said with a cold face: "The purpose of opening a factory is to make money. If you keep putting money in even if you don't get the profits, that's not a long-term vision, it's just taking advantage of someone else."
Sankui didn't dare to say anything.
Tian Shao said: "I asked you to follow Zhuang Yipeng to learn how to manage the factory. Don't let him brainwash you. If so, you should stop staying in the garment factory."
Sankui shook his head and said: "I'm not brainwashed by him, I just think what he said makes sense. But cousin, you are right. After investing so much money, you will definitely have to get the money back, otherwise you will not know what to do."
Tian Shao nodded.
At this time, Tao Shuhui said outside: "Cousin, Sankui, Caogen and Tian Tao are here."
She came here after the holiday and has been there for more than a week. She also has a first-hand understanding of the situation in the factory and also knows Sankui's daily work. She admires Sankui for being able to go from being a child in the mountains to now.
of.
Tian Shao walked out and found that both Caogen and Tian Tao had changed. Especially Tian Tao, who used to be short, thin and dark-skinned, but now he is taller, has a round face with a little baby fat, and his skin is much whiter.
Seeing her looking at him, Tian Tao called out "eldest sister" with some restraint.
Cao Gen looked a little excited, and then his voice was a little loud unconsciously: "Cousin, I heard Panpan said you were here and I still didn't believe it, but I didn't expect you to actually come."
Tian Shao's expression suddenly changed and he asked: "Panpan, Wang Panpan?"
Tian Tao was speechless, and she didn't know if this cow's grassroots brain had grown old. Why should she mention Wang Panpan to her cousin at this time?
Caogen was overjoyed and said, "Yes, it's Panpan. I didn't expect you, eldest sister, to know Panpan."
Seeing how excited he was, Tian Shao couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "Last year, Sangui was injured. When I came to see him, there was a girl in the ward. Sangui asked her to leave, but she shamelessly insisted on staying in the ward.
Take care of her, and then I let the people around me chase her away."
Tao Shuhui's face changed slightly. She knew that Wang Panpan was a factory worker in a clothing factory, but she didn't expect that she had such a past with Sangui.
Cao Gen's expression was a little stiff, but he quickly defended Wang Panpan: "Cousin, Panpan also looks at Brother Sankui..."
Looking at his expression before and after, Tian Shao knew that he was fascinated by Wang Panpan and did not want to listen to his nonsense: "If you have nothing to do, just go back. I have something to do later."
Seeing that she didn't want to see him so much, Cao Gen looked a little sad.
Tian Tao mustered up her courage and said, "Sister, my dad was talking nonsense at home. Sister, I'm sorry, my dad has caused trouble for you."
After saying that, she explained: "I originally wanted to ask my eldest brother to come with me, but he is moving goods and can't come for the time being."
Tian Shao knew about Tian Sanlin's bragging in the village when he returned to Sijiu City, but she did not comment on the matter, which made Tian Dalin and Li Guihua uneasy at that time.
Tian Shao hummed and said, "Let him stop talking nonsense in the future, otherwise no one will be able to save him when he gets into trouble."
Tian Tao hurriedly agreed, and then said: "Sister, if you have something to do, I will go back right now."
After saying that, she left.
Caogen hesitated for a moment and then followed him back to the factory.
It's getting better today, but my nose is still blocked and my brain is mushy.
