Returning to the office that was also rented, Xia Zejiang sat down and rubbed his temples to relax for a while.
Making matching packaging materials for Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. does not seem to be any difficult job, and no one will deliberately make things difficult for him, but only he knows how much pressure he is bearing on his shoulders.
With such good conditions placed in front of him, if he still can't do it well, he can really buy a piece of tofu and hit the wall.
He is Xia Zekai's younger brother. This relationship itself puts a lot of pressure on him. His brother has opened the back door for him. If he still does a mess, then people will say behind his back that Xia Zekai and his brother are a waste...
…
Xia Zejiang himself didn't allow him to show off.
So at this point, he himself will have higher requirements than the inspection standards given by Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
With his heart in a mess, Xia Zejiang finally realized that starting his own business and working for others were completely different things.
I always felt that his brother would come and leave whenever he wanted, which made him envious.
But when he went to sea, he realized that being a boss was so worrying. So what kind of pressure did his brother experience when he had no one to help him?
How did his brother survive?
Xia Zejiang thought about how he used his academic advantage to think he had defeated his brother, and sometimes used it to attack his brother. Now that he thought about it, that behavior was so stupid and ridiculous!
"Click!"
The door to the office opened, and Shen Jiayi came in holding a thermos cup with a pink shell. When she saw Xia Zejiang lying on his back on a chair, with a frown on his face, she knew that he was under a lot of pressure.
He walked over, rubbed his forehead back and forth with the pad of his thumb, smoothed it out for him, and said, "Whatever are you thinking about? Don't think about all that nonsense. If you have something on your mind, just say it and let's work out a solution together.
"
"I'm fine. It's just that I started my own business. It's a lot of pressure." Xia Zejiang twitched the corners of his mouth and showed an ugly smile.
He said: "You can't make a wrong move. If you make a wrong move, you may lose all your money, and there will be no chance of a comeback."
"Zejiang, you are already very lucky. We have stable customers and stable large orders from the beginning. As long as there are no problems with the proofing by Engineer Li, we will start production later. What do you have to worry about?"
Shen Jiayi said this, she leaned over and kissed Xia Zejiang gently on the forehead, then held his head and said softly: "Besides, even if you lose, what are you afraid of? We will go to work to make money by then, and time will pass.
Wan, we can’t find a way out if this road is blocked!”
…
Xia Zekai didn't know that his brother had already connected with Li Mumu, but he calculated that it would be almost time.
When I went to the second phase to check the construction progress that day, I saw Li Mumu, and he suddenly asked about it.
"Lao Li, has my brother been looking for you recently?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Li Mumu knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He said: "Boss, Mr. Xia came here two days ago. I gave him 5 drawings and went back to take a sample. When the sample is brought over, we will do another test.
, if there is no problem, we will start mass production of packaging materials.”
Xia Zekai thought to himself, "It turns out that the connection has already been made. Why didn't that brat tell me and still wanted to do it secretly?"
"Lao Li, find someone to follow up on his subsequent sample testing and tell the testing room to set higher standards. Don't set the lower limit for him just because he is my brother, Xia Zekai."
When the boss said this, Li Mumu understood what he meant.
When Xia Zejiang sends samples, hurry up and test them!
However, compliance with standards is indeed a basic requirement.
Before Li Mumu could straighten out his thoughts, Xia Zekai asked him again: "How is the progress here now, and how long will it take to use it?"
The original plan was to put it into use in October, but the current construction progress is much faster than the original plan. Most aspects have been basically completed. The remaining details, including fire protection and equipment installation, are waiting to be determined.
Li Mumu stretched out four fingers and said: "Based on the current progress, if everything goes well, it will be ready for use in about four months."
"Four months?" Xia Zekai calculated it and said, "That means July and August, right?"
Li Mumu nodded and said, "Absolutely."
"Okay, very good! The faster, the better." Xia Zekai said.
The second and third phases are being constructed at the same time, and a huge amount of money is consumed every day. Xia Zekai also wants to put into production as soon as possible to recover the cost.
Li Mumu followed Xia Zekai, and the two of them walked north together. There was a workshop there that was also under construction at the same time. He gave Xia Zekai a detailed description of the time plan for the second phase of the overall project.
After the completion of the second phase of construction, it will mainly focus on Rongdou and Pocky, but half of its production capacity will be used to produce various types of dried fruits.
"By the way, there's one more thing. Zhou Wenyi, the newly arrived top leader of the city government, will come to our factory for a visit next week. Remember, let them tidy up the outside of the workshop in the next few days. Be sure to keep it in good condition."
Xia Zekai told Li Mumu about this.
As for the inside of the workshop, Xia Zekai is not worried. The sanitary conditions there are absolutely no problem.
The food-grade dust-free workshop is not called for nothing.
Li Mumu said 'hmm'. He didn't understand why Zhou Wenyi came here at this time, but he could guess a few things. It must be that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.'s current comprehensive strength has caught the eyes of the law. Otherwise, a small enterprise with a small family,
There are really not many people willing to deal with you.
"Boss, did Leader Zhou say a specific day for you to come?" Li Mumu asked.
Xia Zekai shook his head: "I didn't say, but it must be after the holiday."
This is what he guessed. Leaders would never make a surprise inspection during the May Day holiday, right?
But when he thought of this, Xia Zekai didn't know what was going on, and suddenly he had a strong feeling in his heart that Zhou Wenyi seemed to be someone who could do such a thing.
He said to Li Mumu again: "Lao Li, no matter if it is a holiday or not, we are working normally and we must maintain a good scene."
Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. will not have a holiday this year on May Day, but will pay employees double and triple wages in accordance with the labor law.
Employees are also happy to work overtime.
In addition to overtime pay, you can also get more piece-rate pay or performance bonuses, which truly means that the more you work, the more you will get.
For migrant workers who only want to earn money to support their families, why not do it?
Traveling on May Day itself is not a good choice.
"Lao Li, I plan to organize a company-wide employee tour this year. What do you think?" Xia Zekai asked him.
The company has always had this plan, but it has never been implemented seriously.
After Li Mumu heard this suggestion, he was very happy. He said: "Boss, I bet all the employees will like it very much and will be grateful to the boss."
"Yeah, then let's organize a three-day tour for all employees. Employees in each position will go in batches while ensuring basic production capacity. You can choose the place. The travel standard of 600 yuan per person should be enough," Xia Zekai said.
.
Just do it to the best of your ability, don't do it half-heartedly and make people feel uncomfortable.
He went on to say: “If there is any personal shopping, pay for it yourself!”
Li Mumu nodded repeatedly: "That's enough, that's enough. The standard of 600 yuan is too high. We can't even use these."
Xia Zekai smiled and said nothing else.
There are now more than 1,600 employees directly affiliated to Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. According to this standard, even 1 million cannot be spent, and Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.'s current annual donations are several million.
"Then it's settled. Later, you can discuss with Manager Wang of the Human Resources Department and Manager Sun of the Finance Department to find a suitable travel agency. Try to discuss a few good travel routes and let the employees choose." Xia Zekai finally said.
The two of them strolled around and then returned to the office building. Xia Zekai went to his office, while Li Mumu went to the second floor to find Wang Yewei and Sun Guoqiang.
He wanted to discuss with the two of them the travel suggestion just mentioned by the boss. This was another benefit, which was rare for private enterprises.
Calling the two together, he directly threw out the boss's suggestion and asked them: "Manager Sun, Manager Wang, what do you think?"
How else can you watch it? Let’s do it!
This thing is a good thing for everyone. They are also beating workers, so why bother to make it difficult to beat workers? Naturally they will not refuse.
"For a three-day trip, the standard is indeed high. We can lower the price when negotiating with the travel agency and ask the travel agency to give some affordable gifts to employees. What do you think of this suggestion?" Wang Yewei said.
Sun Guoqiang agreed with this suggestion very much. He gave Wang Yewei a thumbs up: "Manager Wang, you are really quick to react to things, so let's do this."
Li Mumu naturally agreed.
…
The last day of April 2011, Saturday.
Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun took Yatou and Tongtong sisters to the kindergarten early in the morning.
Also coming were my second sister-in-law Dong Fei and my niece Amy.
Xia Zekai's original intention was to send Yatou and Tongtong to his second brother's house first, and let them help take care of the children all morning, while the couple came to the kindergarten to rehearse the chorus.
Unexpectedly, Yatou and Tongtong learned that their parents were going to perform, and they were more excited than anyone else. They shouted that they would not go anywhere to play and that they had to come and watch the performance.
There is no other way, just come.
The two of them led Yatou and Tongtong over, but they didn't expect that their niece Amy would also come with her. As a result, the second sister-in-law finally followed.
She thought about watching the performance of her cousin and his wife, and also watching the three female dolls to prevent them from running around and causing other troubles, which would not be beautiful.
There is a special large room in the kindergarten affiliated to the municipal primary school. This room is usually used by children to practice dance and do indoor activities. Today, it was temporarily requisitioned and became a stage for parents to rehearse the chorus.
When Xia Zekai and his wife came over, more than a dozen parents had already come over. Everyone was dressed beautifully. Judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they had put on makeup and dressed up carefully.
When Teacher Kaixin saw Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun, he said happily: "Mr. Xia, you are here, there are four more. Let's start after they all come over."
"If you haven't come here by nine o'clock, we won't wait and will rehearse first."
Xia Zekai doesn't care, he has a strong sense of time, as long as he can leave before half past eleven.
At nine o'clock, only two of the remaining four people came over. Teacher Kaixin made another phone call to urge them. After making the call, she said: "Parents, our chorus rehearsal today will begin now."
"Teacher Kaixin, aren't there two more parents? How about we wait a little longer? We're not in a hurry." A kind parent said in a gentle voice.
Teacher Kaixin smiled and said, "No wait, I called just now, but they gave up automatically. It's too late for us to find someone now. This program will trouble all the parents here."
Some parents in the crowd immediately expressed their dissatisfaction and said, "Why are there still parents like this now? He didn't tell us in advance that he was not going to participate. He asked so many of us to wait for them. What a big show."
"That's right, look at Boss Xia who came here early, what he is capable of."
"That's true for me, there are so many of us, who can't do anything?"
There was a lot of chatter for a while, and then everything calmed down. Under the command of Teacher Kaixin, we started to rehearse stumblingly.
When the rehearsal actually started, the effect of having practiced the song in advance was immediately apparent.
For example, Xia Zekai, who practices singing every day when he has nothing to do, has become a very good singer among this group of parents.
Teacher Kaixin also asked Xia Zekai to come out and lead the singing.
Xia Zekai never dreamed that he would still be treated like this after so many years!
But seeing the eyes of Yatou and Tongtong shining brightly, he actually felt a little proud in his heart.
Today's first rehearsal is finally over. Xia Zekai feels really tired!
"Zekai, you sing so well!" Second sister-in-law Dong Fei couldn't help but praise him.
Xia Zekai waved his hands repeatedly and said sheepishly: "Accident, this is an accident."
"How could it be? It seems like you have been practicing seriously. You sang those high notes very smoothly. I heard many people singing with broken notes." Dong Fei continued.
Luo Xiyun was a little embarrassed. Her performance today was too poor. It wasn't a matter of whether she could break the sound, but that she didn't remember the lyrics at all.
At this time, she remembered that when her husband called him, she vowed that there would be no problem.
But the actual situation is very difficult!
"Zekai, if you practice hard with me when you get back, I still won't believe you can't sing a song." Luo Xiyun was unwilling to give in.
Yatou and Tongtong both ran over, looking at Xia Zekai with admiration and shouted loudly: "Dad, you are so awesome!"
Even Tongtong, who had been threatening to beat his father, shouted excitedly: "Dad, you are great, please teach me, I want to learn too."
As she spoke, she jumped up and grabbed Xia Zekai's arm and refused to let go.
