Listening to the chat between the two siblings, Xia Zekai thought to himself: "It's not bad. This loss is not in vain. I am still a little enlightened."
The last day of August, Monday, is cloudy!
In the morning, after Xia Zekai sent his two daughters to kindergarten, he hurried to the factory.
On the other side, Luo Xiyun drove to the company as usual in the morning.
After arriving at the company, I punched in my time card and went to the quality department office in a leisurely manner.
After changing into work clothes and waiting for more than half an hour, Luo Xiyun put on an N95 protective mask and went to the workshop for a morning production meeting.
This is a meeting for production. It is mainly designed to bring together the chief leaders of all production-related departments of the company to discuss the problems found in production, form a rigorous action plan, and complete it within the designated time frame.
Solve the problem factually immediately and avoid prevarication.
During the meeting, Luo Xiyun kept listening. There were no quality-related problems today, and she was happy and relaxed.
After the meeting ended and everyone dispersed, Luo Xiyun saw Yang Shengguang, the manager of the abrasive tool department, about to leave. She quickly took two steps and shouted: "Manager Yang, wait a minute."
Yang Shengguang was already over forty, and his forehead was shining brightly. When he heard Luo Xiyun calling him, he stopped and turned around to look at Luo Xiyun: "Manager Luo, are you looking for me?"
"Hey, Manager Yang, didn't you recruit CNC machine tool operators some time ago? Have you found anyone?" Luo Xiyun didn't mince words and asked him directly.
"Not yet, what's wrong, does Manager Luo want to introduce someone to me?" Yang Shengguang asked her with a smile.
At his age, everyone is a fool, and the ability to listen and understand what is said is indispensable, otherwise he will not be able to get the position of department manager.
Luo Xiyun said with a smile: "My younger brother studied mechanical manufacturing and automation, and he can also do mechanical drawing. He also worked in lathe processing at a mechanical processing factory in Sioux City for a period of time. He himself said that there is no problem at all in processing non-standard parts.
, I’m thinking that if Manager Yang hasn’t recruited anyone yet, he can take some time to help Zhang Zhangyan and see if he’s a good fit.”
Hearing what she said, Yang Shengguang nodded: "No problem, Manager Luo ask him to come over tomorrow, and we will talk in person then."
"Okay, Manager Yang, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner another day." Luo Xiyun said with a smile.
Yang Shengguang waved his hand: "It's all trivial matters, Manager Luo, I'll go back first."
"Okay, I'll ask him to come over tomorrow, and I'll tell Manager Yang then." After Luo Xiyun finished speaking, she also returned to her office.
…
At the Jingtong Food Factory, Li Mumu is still working overtime to rush production. The sales of Rongdou this month are even hotter than last month. Li Mumu thinks that adding two more ovens will be enough, but the workshop is so empty.
, he was also very worried.
In addition, Lu Chen has developed a new chocolate bar after the failure of his last new product. Li Mumu really hopes to cooperate with the production to avoid the company's products being overly simplistic, which is detrimental to long-term development.
But the lack of equipment hampered production, and he was powerless.
Li Mumu had a depressed expression on his face: "Gong Lu, I also want to increase the output, but as you can see, it really can't be done. Now Rongdou can hardly keep up with the output."
"That won't work. Adjustments must be made." Lu Chen disagreed. He felt that at least one piece of equipment should be deployed to produce new products and give the new products a chance to make mistakes in the market.
"Lu Gong, why don't you ask your boss to find a way to add two more pieces of equipment?" Li Mumu made a suggestion.
Lu Chen had no better way. He also knew that what Li Mumu said was true. The workshop was indeed very busy now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see if you can get the one in the southwest corner of your workshop and add two more."
It’s not a problem to install a piece of equipment.”
When he said this, Li Mumu's face turned green: "Gong Lu, how crowded is the workshop?"
"Lao Li, let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you squeeze in a little now. The land has been purchased and the boss has paid all the down payment. I heard Lao Sun say that he will apply for a loan next month and start construction after that.
"
"Think about it, with 43 acres of land, how big will the new factory workshop be when the time comes? It will be enough for you to use." Lu Hao began to draw the cake.
But Li Mumu didn't take that trick: "Gong Lu, what you said is very good, but it will take at least half a year to wait for the new factory to be built. What should I do in the past six months?"
"If it really doesn't work, we can evacuate the office area outside the workshop and continue to expand the production workshop to the west. This is the only way." Lu Hao's expression was rare and serious. He had been thinking about this matter for some days.
Li Mumu heard what he said and agreed: "Gong Lu is a good idea. Let's go and find the boss."
They left as soon as they said they would, and there was no ambiguity between the two of them.
In Xia Zekai's office, when he saw Li Mumu and Lu Chen pushing in the door, Xia Zekai was puzzled and asked them: "Gong Lu, Lao Li, what are you doing here?"
"Boss, I want to discuss something with you." Lu Hao and Li Mumu looked at each other, and Lu Hao spoke first.
He said: "Boss, our current production tasks are very heavy, and Director Li's production workshop is a bit out of space."
When Li Mumu heard what Lu Chen said, he nodded: "The place is too small. I want to add a few more devices, but there is no place to put them."
Lu Chen talked about himself again: "I'm thinking about experimenting with a few more new products, but Director Li can't do it, and I don't know what the market's feedback will be on the new products."
Xia Zekai listened to the two of them singing harmony, which was like talking about cross talk. He found it quite interesting and asked them both: "Then what do you two think?"
This time it was Lu Chen who said: "Boss, I'm thinking of moving all the offices in our workshop outside and expanding the production workshop to the west by another third. For the time being, it's enough."
used."
Xia Zekai looked at him with a half-smile and asked him: "We've been talking together for a long time, are you trying to kick me out?"
"Boss, this is all temporary. Once the new factory is built, this problem will no longer exist."
Is not this nonsensical!
Now this 600-square-meter workshop is arranged like this. There are 200 square meters in the east that have been specially added with secondary protection and dust-proof treatment, and are specially used for the production of melted beans. There is an area in the middle, about 100 square meters, with several offices, and in the west
This is where the packaging is.
After moving the office in the middle, the production workshop can at least increase by more than 100 square meters. The abandoned space in the middle can be used, at least 6 more pieces of equipment can be added, and the output can be expanded.
"Then how will we work after we move outside?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Lu Chen had already suspected it. He said: "Boss, I have two plans. I can temporarily find an office building to rent for 100 square meters, which is enough."
"Or use H-shaped steel and color steel plates to build a simple one for temporary use and transition, and it can be completed in a few days."
Xia Zekai thought for a while and agreed to Lu Huan's proposal. He said: "Forget it about leasing. It's inconvenient and inconvenient to go back and forth. There are mobile houses on the market that are rented to external parties. Let's rent two for use first."
.”
Lu Chen nodded: "It is indeed there, let me look for it?"
"Okay, please do it as soon as possible." Xia Zekai agreed.
He then asked: "Lu Gong, you just said you have a new product. What kind of product is it?"
Lu Chen hurried back to the office to get the samples.
Xia Zekai looked at the stick in front of him and thought it was quite cute, but what exactly was this thing?
"Gong Lu, what are you doing?" Xia Zekai really didn't understand and asked him.
Lu Chen said: "Boss, this is a chocolate bar I made. It is made of butter, powdered sugar, egg liquid, low-gluten flour, chocolate and chopped nuts. However, I pointed it out by hand and it is not very neat.
, it doesn’t look good.”
Xia Zekai picked up one and asked him, "Can I eat it?"
It's so fresh. If you can't eat it, why do you make it? Does it look good?
After seeing the expression on Lu Chen's face, Xia Zekai knew to take it. He put one in his mouth and chewed it slowly. It was similar to egg yolk cake, crisp and delicious, with a layer of chocolate and nut crumbs on the outside.
, the taste is quite strong.
He knew something in his mind and said: "This stuff is good, much better than the sandwich biscuits last time, but our oven can't do this."
"Well, this thing is quite troublesome. You can't make much of it by hand," Lu Huan said.
"Is there such a thing on the market?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Lu Chen shook his head: "We haven't found anything yet. Even the related equipment may not be suitable and needs to be modified."
Xia Zekai knew what was going on and said, "Let's do this. Lu Gong, please come up with a complete plan and let me take a look."
Lu Chen liked this about Xia Zekai. He was decisive and never sloppy.
From this point of view alone, Xia Zekai is twice as powerful as his previous boss.
"Boss, I'll get it out as soon as possible." Lu Chen agreed.
After they went out, Xia Zekai twisted another chocolate bar. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. However, the one Lu Hao made was still too rough. Xia Zekai always felt that this thing looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"My wife must have bought it for Yatou and Tongtong!" Xia Zekai thought to himself.
But he has no memory now.
I popped another one into my mouth, and I thought it was generally okay, but the taste was still a bit off. And it can be made into chocolate, so can it be made into other flavors?
Xia Zekai thought a lot.
In the end, he began to worry about one thing: Will the money be enough?
We have to admit that if we expand the factory and purchase new equipment, the demand for funds will not be small. This is a practical problem that must be faced.
"These two people are always looking for trouble for me." Xia Zekai rubbed his temples, feeling heavy-headed.
After a while, Xia Zekai stood up and moved his body, which was a little numb after sitting for a long time. He said to himself: "Go to Lao Sun's place and see how the accounts are summarized this month."
I have to pay my salary again tomorrow. I just spent two million a few days ago, and I don’t know how much money I will have left this month?
It is very likely that once we return to before liberation, we will become paupers again!
