Chapter 393: Xia Zekai's Heart Is Really Black(Ask for a Monthly Pass)4000 words
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, eight red paper firecrackers with 100,000 rings were placed on the main east-west road in front of the Jingtong Food Factory.
Wang Yewei, Zhang San, Lu Huan, and Li Mumu, plus four young people selected from the workshop, each took a cigarette and took two puffs, stood at the end of the firecracker, and followed Sun Guoqiang's roar.
A voice 'ignites fire'.
Suddenly, the crackling sound of explosions came, eight hangings and hundreds of thousands of bombs went off at the same time, the explosions came one after another, the fire was everywhere, the smoke was filled, the strong smell of gunpowder hit your face, and the red paper skin was blown to pieces and rained in the air.
Red paper rain.
The factory employees who were watching on the scene all covered their ears and stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes. Who else but the enterprise would buy a hundred thousand firecrackers for free, and that’s all in one purchase.
It wasn't over yet. After the sound of firecrackers stopped, several people placed fireworks the size of wine boxes in the middle of the road. Someone counted them, 16 in total.
What does this mean?
This time Xia Zekai personally stepped out and ordered two.
After the firecrackers and fireworks, the employees of Jingtong Food Factory lined up in two lines and stood in two lines. In front were Lu Hao and Li Mumu, each standing on one side.
Xia Zekai held a stack of sealed red envelopes in his hand. Starting with Li Mumu and Lu Chen, each of them had a red envelope, and each red envelope contained a red hundred-dollar bill.
Every time he sends one, Xia Zekai will shout: "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, boss!"
The greetings continued for a while before stopping.
Everyone who gets a red envelope is very happy. It doesn't matter the amount. Everyone is looking for good luck.
But when they saw the hundred-dollar bills in the red envelopes, these people felt even happier.
I have heard that when a factory opens after the new year, the boss will give opening red envelopes to employees, but most of the ones they give out are 5 yuan, 10 yuan, and 50 yuan each is very rare, let alone 100 yuan.
Red envelope.
"The boss is so awesome!" Wang Shoulong from the packaging workshop sighed with emotion.
He had been working in his previous company for almost six years and had never seen a start-up red envelope at all.
Xia Zekai didn't know what others were thinking. After he handed out the last red envelope, he looked at the one left in his hand and asked, "Is there anyone who hasn't received a red envelope?"
No one spoke.
Xia Zekai was puzzled. He looked at Sun Guoqiang and asked: "Old Sun, didn't I ask you to pack 58 red envelopes? Did you pack them wrong? Why is there one more?"
Sun Guoqiang was depressed, why was he still lying on his back? He quickly said: "Boss, I counted three times, it's 58, that's right."
Wang Yewei understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. He said: "Boss, there are 58 people in our company including you."
"..." Xia Zekai raised his hand and waved the red envelope in his hand. Well, he was looking for love on a donkey.
The next moment, without any pretense, he rolled up the red envelope into a ball and put it in his butt pocket.
Some of the employees below also realized what was going on and couldn't help but want to laugh, but considering the boss's 'face', they finally suppressed their laughter.
Xia Zekai started to speak: "Everyone, today is the eighth day of the first lunar month, the first day of the official opening of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. I will tell you a few words."
One sentence attracted everyone's attention.
Xia Zekai went on to say: "This year is different from last year. Last year, our products, whether they were soluble beans or children's toilets, were unprecedented on the market. No one had it and I had it. We ensured maximum profits and fully guaranteed our
The market share of these two areas.”
"However, I believe some people have realized that our Jingtong brand's soluble beans and children's toilets are no longer the only ones in the current market. Without complete statistics, there are hundreds of companies on the market making the same products as ours.
Next, we will even face market competition from big foreign brands."
"So, it's hard for us this year!"
Having said this, he paused for a while, waiting for everyone to digest the information.
Many people at the scene looked a little hesitant. They didn't understand why the boss said that. Did he not plan to do it anymore?
This idea suddenly popped up in someone's mind, but was rejected later. The fact that the boss invested a total of 30 million to build a new factory was not a secret from the beginning. If the boss quits now, then the money he invested will
Isn't it a waste of time?
Before they could figure it out, Xia Zekai continued: "Although this year has been difficult, our Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has grown from scratch, from me alone to fifty-eight people today, and from a monthly revenue of two
From 30,000 yuan to now, the annual revenue is more than 50 million yuan, and the highest revenue in a single month exceeds 10 million yuan. Tell me, are you afraid of difficulties?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people in the crowd, including Lu Chen and Li Mumu, explained very well the importance of an excellent Ma Chai taking care of him at critical moments.
"Don't be afraid, we are not afraid!"
As soon as Lu Chang and Lu Chang finished speaking, everyone else understood and shouted loudly: "We are not afraid!"
"Fuck whoever comes!"
"Fuck him!"
At this moment, these fifty-odd people were all excited, and their spirits seemed to resonate. The boss was right, they were the bosses in the industry, and whoever dared to threaten their status would be killed!
"Very good, I like your fighting spirit!" Xia Zekai was very happy.
He must make employees aware of the situation the company will face this year and let them know the pressure on the company.
If you can keep up, you can resist the pressure together and struggle for a period of time. If you can't keep up, you are destined to be eliminated.
The next moment, he raised his fisted right hand, stretched out his two index fingers, and continued: "We have two goals next."
"We strive to achieve revenue of over 100 million and over 200 million this year. No matter which goal is achieved, I will give you a bonus. Each person will start at 10,000. The sooner the goal is achieved, the greater the bonus will be."
"Boss, I would like to ask if the new employees this year will also receive bonuses according to this amount?" an employee in the crowd asked. He was also thinking about introducing family members to work in the company, but he did not expect such a good thing to happen this year.
.
If that's the case, he has to hurry up and introduce people, wouldn't he also be able to receive a sum of money by then?
As for the 'difficulties' Xia Zekai mentioned just now, he simply ignored them under the stimulation of the 'huge bonus'.
Forget about him, everyone else ignored the difficulties. They felt there was nothing to be afraid of, so they just rolled up their sleeves and worked hard.
"All backward employees will be paid according to the proportion of their contribution." Xia Zekai directly blocked this loophole.
Hearing that Xia Zekai gave such an 'objective' answer, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. After all, no one wanted to have someone come to pick up the ready-made work after they had worked so hard in the early stage.
In that case, they would not feel comfortable either.
After finishing this matter, he said directly: "The meeting is over, Lao Lu, please stay for a while, and arrange for a few people to clean the firecracker paper."
After hearing what the boss said, there was no need for Lu Chen and others to give orders, and people immediately started rushing to get tools to clean.
The remaining employees didn't get the cleaning tools, so they went to work in the workshop with excitement. Lu Huan and Li Mumu stayed behind, guessing that the boss was looking for them alone because he must have something more important.
Xia Zekai didn't hesitate and said directly: "Go to my office for a meeting."
In Xia Zekai's office, several people sat down respectively. Xia Zekai said: "Everyone, I won't say any more nonsense. You should know more about the market situation than those employees. Next, each of you must put your own
Do you have the confidence to do better in the responsible aspect?"
"Yes!" Everyone answered simply and neatly.
Xia Zekai nodded with satisfaction and looked at Guo Ying again: "Xiao Guo, have you told your customers in advance about the price increase of Rongdou?"
Guo Ying said 'hmm' and said: "Don't worry, boss, we have already posted a notice at the entrance of our store in advance, canceling the 5-yuan small package of soluble beans, and raising the prices of 10-yuan and 15-yuan soluble beans respectively.
2 yuan."
"Although some customers are dissatisfied, most customers agree. They also know that the ingredients of our products are very authentic."
"Well, next, you should pay close attention to the sales of Rongdou after the price increase, and report the sales results to me at any time." Xia Zekai also wanted to see how the market recognized the product after the price increase.
However, it is conceivable that this price increase will definitely lose a wave of customers.
"Okay!" Guo Ying agreed happily.
After getting the information from Guo Ying, Xia Zekai looked at Zhang San again: "Xiao Zhang, what's going on here, have you informed me?"
"Boss, the Taobao store has issued a price increase notice and explained the reasons for the price increase. However, some small brand products have no intention of raising prices yet. Their online sales prices are much lower than ours." Zhang
San said hesitantly.
Xia Zekai waved his hand: "Ignore them. When the price of milk powder is raised in March and April, they will increase it."
"Besides, Rongdou is for children after all. As the inventor of this product and the leader in the industry, we still have to set the quality standards of the product and correctly guide customers to buy quality-assured products instead of making cats and dogs.
The Sanwu products that come out must be well publicized in this regard." He said with great justice.
But when Lu Chen and the others listened to what the boss said, they couldn't help but feel in their hearts. The boss's heart is really dark!
Isn’t this deliberately guiding consumers to buy their products?
They were very suspicious that in the eyes of the boss, except for the Jingtong brand of Rongdou, all other brands were off-brand and had no quality assurance.
"The boss is so bad!" Wang Yewei thought in his heart.
Xia Zekai didn't care how they slandered him, and then looked at Lu Hao, telling Lu Hao to urge the construction of the new factory, and also to do a good job in research and development of new products.
Their current product categories are too few and their customer audience is too narrow. Xia Zekai realizes that if he wants to gain more initiative in future market competition, he must expand product categories and expand the buying group.
Reduce costs, increase output, and increase core competitiveness.
He finally looked at Huang Ying and Xue Chen and said: "Huang Gong, Director Xue, I am the most at ease with you. It is also the current important revenue and profit growth point of our Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. I hope you will make steady progress this year."
, create greater glory again.”
"Boss, just be optimistic!" Huang Ying nodded. She now has a high degree of recognition for Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. This is due to the high income the company pays her every month.
It is so high that her income is more than the annual income of ordinary workers.
Xue Chen also expressed his position and said: "I will try to develop several foundries in a few years..."
"Very good. Director Xue is thinking exactly what I want to say. As for OEM, we should not just limit it to the current scale. We should further expand and firmly hold this market in our hands and not give it to others.
Opportunities for other brands.”
The first management meeting of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. held after the Spring Festival in 2010 lasted for more than two hours. The management team headed by Xia Zekai brainstormed and considered various unexpected situations that might occur this year.
and an action plan that can respond to emergencies in a short period of time.
In Xia Zekai's words, this is called loosening on the outside and tightening on the inside to nip problems in the bud.
After the meeting ended, several people went about their business.
Lu Chen didn't leave for the time being. He told Xia Zekai: "People from Acme Intelligent Factory Design and Research Institute are coming over on the tenth day of the first lunar month."
"As soon as possible, the better. We don't have much time left. We must put the new factory into use in the first half of the year." Xia Zekai looked serious.
Hearing what his boss said, Lu Chen's inner pressure suddenly increased a lot.
But he still nodded and agreed.
In addition to factory construction, Xia Zekai and Lu Huan also re-finalized the matter of automated production equipment. Lu Huan is also responsible for this. The company will successively sign purchase contracts with automation equipment factories in March.
When Xia Zekai was the only one left in the office, he looked at the flickering computer screen in a trance.
After being in a daze until noon, Lu Chen and Li Mumu came over to ask him to go to the cafeteria for dinner.
Only then did Xia Zekai come to his senses, and the three of them walked to the restaurant side by side.
Today is the first day of opening, and the cafeteria and restaurant are very rich.
Stir-fried chicken with fresh peppers, enough for each person.
One piece of fried mackerel per person, plus a portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a can of Coke. This standard is not low.
Some female employees couldn't eat it yet, so in order to avoid waste, they were looking for clean plastic bags everywhere to take home.
…
On the day that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. opened, most companies and stores throughout Qicheng also opened their doors one after another.
At this time, in the two-story building at the east gate of Lin Ao Community, the store that originally belonged to Jingtong Food Factory was crowded with people.
These are all prepared to buy some melted beans.
Taking advantage of the cheap times a year ago, most of them bought more for their children, but Jingtong Food Factory had a holiday from the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month until the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Days later, the food stored at home was gone.
As for the fact that the prices of the two types of melted beans have increased by 2 yuan each, those who really want to buy them will ignore them. If they think they are expensive, they will still go to other small stores to buy them, but the quality is not reassuring.
