In the afternoon, Tan Dailei reported to Li Wenjun on the construction status of the new factory on the second phase land.
The new factory building and roads have all been repaired, and now we are doing gardening.
It is estimated that by the end of August, all factories will be able to move to the new factory building as a whole, and the first phase will be vacated to be used as dormitories, offices and nurseries.
The gate has also been moved to the side of the new factory building, and workers and trucks will enter and exit through that side in the future.
The three people ran to the top of the office building. The factory in front of them was like a huge sandbox, allowing them to point out the world at will.
The new straight and wide road by the river, bathed in the setting sun and shrouded in light mist, connects to the tree-lined road in the mining area, extending east to the end of the land and west to the entrance of the mining area.
Tao Guangming was in a daze. Li Wenjun pointed to the boulevard and said to him, "This is a perfect test drive road." It seemed like yesterday.
At that time, he still laughed at Li Wenjun for not building an airplane.
Now there are cars and roads.
Ah, I told Li Wenjun that an airport would be built, but he wanted to know when it would be built.
-----
By Saturday, Li Wenjun's "departure list" had been revised to three versions, and the others had not yet submitted their letters of responsibility.
When it was time to eat at noon, Tao Guangming was a little nervous and cursed: "Look, you shot yourself in the foot. If the remaining people all give up, do you want me to manage several factories by myself? What the hell are you doing?
Even if you use me as a grinder for the production team, you won’t be able to finish the work.”
Li Wenjun said: "Why panic? In this world, as long as you have money, what kind of talents can't be hired? Besides, the prospects of 'Wenjun Industrial' are so good, it is worth their efforts. They know this better than me."
Chen Zichen left and came back, and sat down in front of Li Wenjun: "Director Li, I have a question to ask."
Li Wenjun raised his chin: "Sit down."
Chen Zichen said: "Compared with the products of other factories, the products of furniture factories are of low value and do not have advanced technology. Customers do not need to upgrade them. A table lasts for ten years. The key volume is still large and the transportation costs are high, but the cost is there.
However, the cost of wood raw materials cannot be reduced, so no matter how you calculate it, the profit margin cannot compete with others. I will definitely be at the bottom."
Li Wenjun nodded: "Comrade Chen Zichen is right. What you are talking about is called product added value. The raw material cost of electronic products is very low. After being processed into pagers and mobile phones, the value increases thousands of times because it contains advanced technology.
This is its advantage, but it is also its disadvantage. As long as it cannot lead in technology, it will be quickly eliminated. The same problem still exists in electrical appliance factories. It’s just that the replacement of electrical appliances is not as fast as communication equipment. Furniture is different. Think about it.
The shape and material of a table have almost remained unchanged for hundreds of years. What matters is the craftsmanship, shape and practicality of the furniture maker. As long as you make slight improvements according to the changes of the times and the customers you face, you can adapt to the market.
.”
Chen Zichen said: "But we can only wait at home for customers to come to our door. Unlike mobile phones, electrical appliances and cars, which can be sold in various big cities."
"How come, isn't a trade fair just an opportunity for customers to see you?" Li Wenjun smiled, took out the preliminary list from his pocket and put it on the table, "I left a place for the furniture factory, you
Go back and think about which furniture to choose that can best attract the attention of foreign businessmen."
Chen Zichen became excited: "Ah, that's great. I'll go back and discuss it with Master."
Li Wenjun said: "Let me remind you, foreigners like traditional Chinese things. Because the space is limited, it is best to place high-value items, such as mahogany, small items. You can even place dressing boxes and other large items.
Shown with hand-drawn pictures and photographs.”
Chen Zichen said: "If customers like mahogany furniture by then, we won't be able to get the raw materials and we won't be able to mass-produce it."
Li Wenjun raised his chin towards Tao Guangming.
Chen Zichen looked at Tao Guangming.
Tao Guangming suddenly realized that he had been betrayed by Li Wenjun again. Under Chen Zichen's eager gaze, he could only nod his head: "If there is an order, I can help find a way."
Chen Zichen immediately took out the responsibility letter from his arms that had been crumpled by repeatedly reading it, signed it and handed it to Li Wenjun, then bowed to them: "Thank you."
Went away happily.
Tao Guangming squinted at Li Wenjun: "You are so bad..."
Li Wenjun said: "You are stupid, haven't I helped you find another business? The logistics are ready, and the buyers are also here. You just need to find the source of goods and sit back and collect the money. Call Sister Hui too.
Let's do it together. You two can set up a lumber sales company. I will be your first customer."
Tao Guangming thought for a while, then his anger turned into joy: "That's right." In order to help Tao Luyao make a tea table, he contacted many wood origins, and now they can all be used.

Wang Xiaolan and Yuan Lezi came together before getting off work.
Li Wenjun didn't find it strange at all. Because the two people were already talking about marriage and had a community of interests. And the problems they faced were actually the same. It was what Li Wenjun and Chen Zichen said: the disadvantage - product update. Their
Technical level and academic qualifications cannot keep up.
Li Wenjun knew that this was a hurdle in their hearts, and if it was not resolved now, it would hinder their management in the future.
After sitting down, Wang Xiaolan spoke first: "Director Li, the two of us are a little scared. If you don't care about technological upgrading at all, we really don't have the ability..."
Yuan Leizi scratched his head: "If you give me the drawings and teach me how to do it, I can make it. If you ask me to invent and create new electrical appliances, it will be really difficult for me."
Li Wenjun nodded: "The fact that you can think of this shows that you have seriously considered the future of the factory and are a responsible factory director."
Wang Xiaolan and Yuan Leizi looked at each other.
Li Wenjun said: "It is difficult for your two factories to stay ahead. You have to constantly innovate. Even I don't have that much energy. In the early days of starting a business, it was okay for the factory director to participate in R&D himself. When the factory gets bigger, it becomes impossible. Professionalism
We have to leave all the work to professionals. So I plan to establish two new R&D teams, one for mobile phones and one for electrical appliances. No matter how optimized this generation of mobile phones is, they can still be used for five years at most, so they should be replaced by
2g. In terms of electrical appliances, in the future we will not only make washing machines, but also refrigerators, color TVs and air conditioners. So you don’t have to worry about product updates. You just need to do these things well, arrange production reasonably, manage workers well, and control
Expenditure, quality and quantity."
Wang Xiaolan and Yuan Lezi breathed a sigh of relief: "This is okay, this is okay."
"That's the same job we're doing now."
The two of them took out their respective responsibility letters, signed them, and handed them to Li Wenjun with both hands.
Li Wenjun smiled: "From now on, the electronics factory and the electrical appliance factory will continue to rely on you two."
Wang Xiaolan and Yuan Lezi went out and found Hu Chuntao standing outside, leaning against the wall.
Hu Chuntao had obviously just cried, and her eyes were swollen.
Wang Xiaolan glanced at Yuan Lezi, and Yuan Lezi left first.
Hu Chuntao sniffed: "Xiaolan, I'm afraid..."
Wang Xiaolan sighed softly: "Let's go, I'll accompany you in to see Director Li."
