At this time, Xia Zejiang, who was being talked about by his mother Zhou Yinghong and eldest brother Xia Zekai, was busy in the workshop.
He and the company's technical director Li Zhixin discussed new techniques for packaging cartons.
In the past two years, Jiaze Packaging Box Co., Ltd. has been supplying to 'Jingtong Food Factory'. With the strengthening of logistics and transportation, the various process requirements for the packaging boxes themselves have become higher and higher.
standards, they will definitely be eliminated by Jingtong Food Factory.
"Gong Li, look at how the pressure-bearing strength of this carton is strengthened. Zhao Ting told me some time ago that the dried fruits are stocked and there is a lot of pressure. Many of the packaging cartons underneath are deformed. Before shipment,
Replacement packaging box.”
After hearing what his boss said, Li Zhixin pondered for more than half an hour before coming up with his own solution to Xia Zejiang.
He said: "Can you consider using special-shaped boxes..."
The two brainstormed one sentence after another for more than twenty minutes. They even ignored lunch. Until they came up with a result, Xia Zejiang applauded happily: "Li Gong, do this first. How many results can you make?"
Here’s a sample, I’ll show it to Jingtong Food Factory.”
"Okay, if the pressure-bearing strength of the cartons is increased without increasing the cost, this will help extend their storage cycle. I think 80% of it is acceptable to Jingtong Food Factory." Li Zhixin said.
Another point is that this new way of making packaging boxes has a significant effect on further reducing costs at their Jiaze packaging box factory.
Xia Zejiang can be so obsessed with this, and this is also the problem.
While ensuring the quality of packaging boxes, reducing costs through technology and improvement is the direction they want to pursue.
If a good product is mixed with a bunch of poor quality products, which is a different kind of "tofu shoddy project", Xia Zejiang himself cannot forgive himself.
After the results were obtained, the two of them felt hungry. Xia Zejiang called to Li Zhixin: "Li Gong, let's go out to eat something together."
"On this cold day, it would be so comfortable to have a bowl of mutton soup."
"Haha, then I will be shameless and have a meal with the boss again." Li Zhixin has followed Xia Zejiang for a long time and knows that he is not a boss who puts on airs.
But having said that, if something goes against the principles, Xia Zejiang will also get angry.
The two got into Xia Zejiang's Magotan and drove outside the factory together.
To the west is the nearby village. Although it may not look like a village, it is well developed.
There are many residential complexes, and most of the gatehouses along the street are rented out to open fast food restaurants and restaurants.
After they arrived at Guojia Yangtang, Xia Zejiang parked the car directly on the side of the road: "Gong Li, let's go."
The two of them entered the store. Xia Zejiang didn't hesitate and shouted directly: "Boss, there are two big bowls of mutton. Give me six of your own braised meat."
"Boss, I can't eat so much." Li Zhixin quickly advised.
Xia Zejiang ignored him: "The one that is burned is no bigger than a palm, and it is so thin. Why can't a grown man eat it?"
Li Zhixin stopped talking.
He remembered something and asked: "Boss, is Manager Shen about to give birth? He hasn't come to the factory recently."
"Well, the due date is next month. She hasn't been feeling well these days, so I couldn't take care of her, so I sent her to my mother-in-law's house in Zhoucheng to live for a while." Xia Zejiang looked a little ashamed.
Whether in life or career, I have always claimed to learn from his brother, but only after experiencing it did I realize how difficult it was for his brother.
Not to mention career development, Jiaze Packaging Box Factory has grown in scale in the past two years. They have now rented 4 large workshops, the smallest one is 6,000 square meters, but it is just like this.
It can meet the carton consumption of Jingtong Food Factory, but if there are some mistakes in the middle, they will be in vain.
As for the scale of benefits, there is no comparison at all.
Because of this, Xia Zejiang is now under great pressure. He has already considered buying a piece of land and building his own factory.
When Li Zhixin heard what he said, he sighed with emotion: "Boss, you and your brother have the same temperament, and you will risk your life if you are too busy!"
Xia Zejiang smiled and shook his head: "How can I? I can't compare to my brother. He is really the kind of person who is too busy to risk his life."
Speaking of this, Xia Zekai remembered that when he was still in school, he went to work in his brother's company during the summer vacation. It was then that he realized that his brother was really busy and did not go home at all. He just slept on the floor in the factory office.
"My sister-in-law said that my brother once couldn't rest for a long time and worked for another day. When he finally finished packing and walked home, he fell down and fell asleep on the road. Do you believe it?" Xia Zejiang burst out laughing.
Li Zhixin lamented that no one can succeed casually.
"Boss, I heard that Jingtong Food Factory is currently developing overseas markets. Once developed, their sales volume will definitely be greater. We must expand the scale as soon as possible." Li Zhixin said.
Xia Zejiang nodded: "That's for sure. I'm already working on this. In addition, Mr. Li, please pay attention to the later waterproofing problem of the packaging boxes. This must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise the products of Jingtong Food Factory will go out on the sea."
After a month, the product is completely damp, and that’s not okay.”
This is a problem that must be solved. Li Zhixin is not vague. He has three options in mind, but all of them need to be tested before he can finally confirm which option is more effective.
After eating and returning to the factory, Xia Zejiang went to his office first.
He sat down and rested for a while, with a smile on his face, and then he picked up his cell phone and called his wife Shen Jiayi.
As the due date approaches, Shen Jiayi has been feeling uncomfortable some time ago. She cannot go to work. Xia Zejiang is afraid that he will not be able to take care of her and will not be able to take care of her at the critical moment. After the couple discussed it, Shen Jiayi simply returned to Zhoucheng District to build a community.
Her mother, Tang Wanqiu, initially complained that her son-in-law was too busy with his career to even take care of his wife and children.
Later, after Shen Jiayi told her mother about the current situation in the company, Tang Wanqiu immediately changed her tune and said that she should let her son-in-law work hard and not think about other things.
"Mom, the annual output value of Jiaze packaging boxes now exceeds 500 million!"
Just such a sentence made Tang Wanqiu's heart swell. She did not expect that her son-in-law would become so powerful without knowing it.
It's only been two years. If his son-in-law is given a few more years, will he be "second to his brother" again?
Xia Zejiang didn't know what his mother-in-law was thinking, and it didn't matter even if she knew.
After getting through the phone, the couple chatted. He asked about his wife's current situation, and the two began to discuss the name of the child.
"Zejiang, are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest." Shen Jiayi told him.
Xia Zejiang's smile became even brighter: "I'm not tired. When I think about meeting the little guy in your belly soon, I get so excited that I can't control myself. Wife, it doesn't matter if we suffer, but we must give him the best."
condition."
"Don't be too tired. If you fall down because of fatigue, I can't bear the responsibility." Shen Jiayi muttered.
When she heard that it was for the sake of her children, her thoughts softened.
"Okay, rest more. If you feel unwell, just tell me and I'll get there as soon as possible." Xia Zejiang said.
Shen Jiayi responded and the two hung up the phone.
In Zhoucheng District, over at the Jianshe Community, Tang Wanqiu came out with a fruit plate and placed it in front of her daughter. Seeing that her daughter had finished the phone call, she asked: "Jiayi, did you call Zejiang? He is still very busy.
"
"Well, he has to buy land to build a new factory. He still has a lot to do there."
Tang Wanqiu really didn't know about this. She was confused and asked, "Why do you want to buy land to build a factory again? Didn't you say that you just rented two more large workshops this year?"
"It's not enough. Big brother is now developing overseas markets. The next step is to export products. Domestic production is also increasing year by year. If we can't keep up in the next step, we will be eliminated sooner or later." Shen Jiayi said.
Her mother explained.
Tang Wanqiu didn't believe it, she said, "No way, they are brothers."
"Mom, have you ever heard of 'brothers settling accounts'? Let's not talk about how big the Jiaze Packaging Factory is now. There are thousands of workers at the Jingtong Food Factory. If our reasons delay their development,
Goods, do you think they will still use us?" Shen Jiayi's statement was very direct.
Tang Wanqiu understood it immediately, and she also realized that many things were not as simple as she imagined.
"I'm old and don't understand these things. Anyway, you can do your own work and I'll help you with other chores." Tang Wanqiu said.
Shen Jiayi smiled and picked up a peeled and cut apple with a toothpick and put it into her mouth: "I knew my mother was the best."
…
In Xia Zejiang's office, after he hung up the phone, he was thinking about one thing.
He actually wants to buy this factory. There are a total of 8 large workshops in this area, and he is only using four of them now. If he buys the entire factory and rearranges it according to his own ideas, it will actually be fine.
There is no need to buy land and build new factories.
Not only does it save money and effort, it can also be used quickly and enter production status quickly.
But I discussed it with Boss Liu last time, and he didn't agree.
"Let's discuss it with Boss Liu again." Xia Zejiang had some concerns in his mind.
After coming out of the office, he went directly to the office building in front.
After entering January, the weather has become colder and colder. Recently, temperatures as low as ten degrees below zero have often occurred. He felt so cold even when he was wrapped in a down jacket. It was really uncomfortable.
When he arrived at Liu Jiwu's office door and saw that it was closed, Xia Zejiang knocked on the door and only entered when he heard the words 'come in'.
Seeing Xia Zejiang coming, Liu Jiwu stood up quickly: "Brother Xia, what kind of wind brought you here again today."
"Brother Liu, you also know what I want to do. What do you think of the matter I mentioned last time?" Xia Zejiang said.
