"We will only be working on the antifouling coating product for a year or two, and when we save enough money, we will consider other products with higher technical thresholds," Gao Fan said.
"What you're talking about is..., uh, hehe, hehe, I didn't say anything, but I knew Gao Fan that you would definitely have something to do."
Chen Xingquan was about to ask what product Gao Fan mentioned that had a higher technical threshold. When the corner of his eye glanced at the driver's back, he quickly stopped and started talking haha.
In Shuinan, everyone has a business acumen. Once business information is heard by others, they may be robbed and you will not be able to make any money.
Along the way, Chen Xingquan no longer chatted with Gao Fan about business matters, but talked about some family affairs. While chatting and laughing, they had already arrived outside the village.
After seeking Gao Fan's advice, Chen Xingquan asked the car not to enter the village, but to drive to a small yard outside the village.
"This is our factory."
After everyone got off the bus, Chen Xingquan pointed to the small courtyard and said to Gao Fan.
This is a small courtyard surrounded by walls made of old bricks. The entrance is large and a tractor can be driven in, but there is no courtyard door. There is only a bamboo across the door, which is roughly a symbolic meaning.
On the wall next to the door, a sign was hung, which read "Xinglong Paint Factory, Nanhao Commune, Yanzhou County", with the words "Xinglong Paint Factory" written in large letters, and "Nanhao Commune, Yanzhou County".
The words "Hao Gongshe" are written on it in small fonts divided into two rows.
"The handwriting is pretty good." Gao Fan praised the words on the sign.
Chen Xingquan smiled and said: "My father asked an old gentleman in the village to write this. That old gentleman had passed the scholar examination."
"Xiucai..." Gao Fan grinned.
When was the last show in China? Isn’t this old man likely to be 100 years old now? He can still hold a brush, and he writes these words with great momentum.
While Gao Fan was thinking about these nonsensical things, Chen Xingquan took a step forward, lifted up the bamboo, and invited Gao Fan into the yard.
The yard is quite large. There are several sheds built along the three walls of the yard. There is an open space in the middle with two walking tractors parked. Chen Xingquan explained to Gao Fan that these were tractors brought by the fishery brigade, and they were waiting to be picked up.
The produced paint is transported away.
The several sheds were the workshops and warehouses of the factory respectively. Chen Xingquan told Gao Fan that the main reason for this situation was that he was in a hurry and had no time to build a house, so he built a few sheds first to deal with it.
The equipment for preparing paint is not complicated, but it takes up a lot of space. It cannot be put down in one or two small houses. And if you want to build a factory of sufficient scale, you have to install a reinforced concrete frame, which costs a lot.
, and it takes a lot of time. Before the paint factory can earn higher profits, Chen Xingquan has no plans to build a large factory.
"I'm afraid a shed like this won't be able to hold up if there's a typhoon, right?" Gao Fan asked casually.
Chen Xingquan nodded: "Yes, if there is a typhoon, this shed will definitely not work. But it is already autumn when we start construction, and there will be no typhoons until next summer."
"Oh." Gao Fan responded.
This could be regarded as a close observation of the entrepreneurial process of Shuinan township enterprises. A factory was built in a small yard and a few bamboo sheds.
In comparison, his labor service company is considered very luxurious. Gao Yiping allocated a small piece of land for the labor service company in the fertilizer factory and is building a small workshop, which is built according to the workshop standards of the fertilizer factory.
But things in the world are so magical. These township and village enterprises built in moso bamboo sheds have taken over 20 years later, and some have even developed into world-class enterprises. And many large state-owned enterprises with reinforced concrete factories have disappeared without a trace.
No trace left.
"Gao Fan is here, why didn't he sit at home?"
Hearing the commotion here, Chen Xingquan's father, Chen Linfa, who was working in the work shed, came out and greeted Gao Fan with a smile.
"Uncle Chen, hello." Gao Fan quickly stepped forward to salute and said, "I haven't seen the factory since it was built, so I asked Brother Chen to bring me here first."
Chen Linfa pointed to the several work sheds with his hand and said with a smile: "Our conditions cannot compare with your public factories, Gao Fan, don't laugh at me."
"It's already very good. I didn't expect that the factory could be built so quickly." Gao Fan said, "Also, the on-site management of our workshop is no worse than that of state-owned factories."
The so-called workshop site management involves many areas, such as the placement of materials and equipment, workers' operating specifications, transportation of raw materials and finished products, environmental sanitation, etc.
In this era, domestic enterprises have never paid much attention to on-site management of workshops. Things in the workshop are thrown around and bumped into each other. As for hygiene, it is even worse, and there is no trace of age.
How dare you say that you are an old factory with more than ten years of oil stains and dust?
The scene of Xinglong Paint Factory can be given a passing grade in Gao Fan's opinion. Although looking around, you can still see some debris thrown aside by the workers while working, such as empty raw material barrels.
Packaging bags, etc. But I can feel that someone usually takes care of it. It's not like just throwing an empty bucket there and waiting for mushrooms to grow.
In fact, daily tidying up the work site does not require any profound theoretical guidance. It is just a matter of diligence or not. But at the same time, details determine success or failure. An enterprise that can pursue a clean and tidy site will be more competitive.
.
but……
Gao Fan sniffed and frowned.
"It doesn't smell very good." Chen Xingquan saw Gao Fan's expression and said.
"Damn it, I ignored this." Gao Fan patted his head and said in annoyance.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xingquan asked in surprise.
Gao Fan pointed at the work shed and said: "The drawings I gave you only showed the production equipment and ignored the environmental protection equipment. Our production process will produce a lot of waste gas, waste water and dust. You work here every day.
Don’t you think the smell is unpleasant?”
"Isn't that what factories are like?" Chen Xingquan said disapprovingly.
"Yeah, it's a bit windy today, and the smell is a little bit bland. Usually when there's no wind, the smell is more harsh on the nose." Chen Linfa added.
Gao Fan raised a hand, tested the wind direction, and then said: "This wind direction just blew the smell to the village. Didn't the villagers protest?"
"What's the point of protesting?" Chen Xingquan said, "Whoever runs a business has no taste. We are all engaged in chemical industry in this area, and we are all used to this smell."
"What about the wastewater? Where does our wastewater go?" Gao Fan asked.
