In the next few days, while Mayor Paul and others were pimping Shi Zhijian and contacting those wealthy plutocrats, Shi Zhijian also finished his rest and began to officially inspect the Munich factory.
On this day, Shi Zhijian took a taxi to the North Industrial Zone.
After getting off the car, Shi Zhijian was wearing a straight suit inside and a black woolen windbreaker outside.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky. Shi Zhijian was naturally afraid of the cold. He originally wanted to wear a down jacket, but he was afraid that it would affect his image and make him look bulky, so he could only "have style rather than warmth." He only wore a thickened shirt under his suit, which made him look bloated.
The wool kind.
In fact, Shi Zhijian prefers the high-tech product "warming patch" that can be bought everywhere in his previous life. Just put it on before and after, and everything can be solved.
In comparison, Axe Jun is much simpler. He wears a suit and even only wears a thin shirt underneath. His muscles are so tense that they are about to burst the suit.
Everyone in the factory, who had already received the news, greeted him at the door.
Different from the fanfare of the city government, these Germans seemed to be very low-key in their work. There was not even a welcome ceremony. There were just three or four people waiting at the gate, stuck in the snow like logs in the winter. They seemed a little impatient to wait.
From time to time, do some small movements like patting snowflakes on your shoulders and stamping your feet on the ground.
When everyone saw Shi Zhijian getting out of the car, they stepped forward to introduce themselves.
"Hello Mr. Shi, I am Green, the factory director here!"
This was a bald, fifty-year-old man, wearing a large, loose suit and a mink coat. He had a greasy face, and his cloudy green eyes were full of cunning.
"This is our engineer, Philip!"
"This is our director of planning, Matherf!"
Shi Zhijian shook hands with everyone and said hello.
These people appear to be very enthusiastic on the surface, but their tone is full of disdain and coldness.
In their view, although Shi Zhijian is their own boss, they still have to rely on Shi Zhijian for food and drink, but after all, Shi Zhijian cannot be stationed in Germany, and in the final analysis, they still have to rely on them to help manage the factory here.
So, now it is not that they want to see Shi Zhijian’s face, but that Shi Zhijian wants to see theirs! If managers like them give up their job, the factory will stop working immediately, and Shi Zhijian will have to pay for all the losses.
Shi Zhijian has received high-level treatment from the Munich city government in the past few days, and even Mayor Paul is very enthusiastic about him. Suddenly encountering such a cold scene, he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
Ax Jun followed behind and muttered: "Why isn't there even a dragon and lion dance team?"
In the past few days, he had followed Shi Zhijian to show off his power, and he was used to seeing big scenes. Compared with the scene at this moment, it was like a day in the day.
"We are just here to inspect the work, not to attend the dinner. Why do we have such a grand ceremony? Formalism is unacceptable!" Shi Zhijian criticized and educated Axe.
Green and others were all pure Germans and could not understand Chinese. The only translator who knew Chinese did not know how to translate Shi Zhijian's words, so he said: "Mr. Shi means, just keep a low profile! Don't make it too confusing."
Too noisy! Formalism, he doesn’t like it!”
Factory director Green and others nodded one after another. On the surface, they felt that Shi Zhijian's words were a wise saying. They Germans don't like to engage in formalism, and everything is based on practical actions. Secretly, they thought that Shi Zhijian was afraid of their management and was afraid of offending them.
They are the ones who just randomly make excuses to get through things.
"Mr. Shi, we have arranged the inspection route for you, please come this way!" Green made an invitation gesture on behalf of everyone.
Shi Zhijian nodded and walked towards the inside of the factory with everyone cheering him on.
There were not many Chinese investors in Germany in this era. Shi Zhijian was probably the first, and the amount of investment reached hundreds of millions, and tens of millions of pounds were spent on transforming the production line. These are all huge sums.
It's just a pity that Shi Zhijian looks too young and his hair has not yet grown. Green and others are factory veterans. They saw that Shi Zhijian looked easy to bully, so they didn't take him seriously.
Everyone quickly arrived at the first base of the automobile production line, the welding workshop!
In the huge workshop, welding was buzzing, and more than 300 German welding workers were operating on the assembly line. Everyone had a clear division of labor and order.
Shi Zhijian walked over and took a look, his hands behind his back. He saw a welder welding parts.
I saw that he was skilled in his skills and was obviously a veteran in the factory. He quickly completed the welding of the parts. When he turned around, he found Shi Zhijian looking at him.
The welder was about to get up when Shi Zhijian signaled him to continue working.
Director Green patted the man on the shoulder, and the man sat down again, looking at Shi Zhijian with a somewhat excited expression.
Soon Shi Zhijian completed a general tour of the workshop and learned about the welding technology that the workshop is mainly responsible for.
Out of curiosity, Shi Zhijian took over the welding machine and tried spot welding. Unfortunately, his skills were so poor that Green and the others were too lazy to cover up. They all laughed with contempt.
"That sucks!" Shi Zhijian returned the welding machine, shrugged and laughed at himself: "How much can a technician like me make in a month?"
"Salary here is calculated on a weekly basis, weekly salary!" Factory Director Green said, "According to your technical standards, well... I'm sorry, I really can't hire you!"
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment. Just when Green thought he was angry, Shi Zhijian laughed loudly: "That's good! A lousy technician like me cannot be admitted! Although our factory is not the best in Munich, we must work hard to get the first place.
One! What First Automobile Factory needs are elites and backbones! For these elite backbones, the higher the salary, the more I like them!"
Shi Zhijian's words made Green and others startled. If they had gone crazy a long time ago, the young boss could be calm!
For the first time, everyone in Green began to take a serious look at Shi Zhijian, the new boss - of course, just a look!
For them, although what Shi Zhijian just said was beautiful, it did not put any pressure on them.
…
After visiting the welding workshop, we went to the stamping workshop.
Shi Zhijian's inspection this time was different from before. Just now he was inspecting the workers' skills, but this time he started chatting with the workers, appearing very relaxed and easy-going.
"Are you still used to working here? How many people are in your family? What do you want from working here? Are you satisfied with your salary? Do you have any suggestions for the factory?"
Shi Zhijian not only asked, but also asked people to record these questions.
When he heard that a worker's family environment was not good and his wife had just given birth to two twins, and he was working hard and urgently needed money to buy milk powder, Shi Zhijian suggested to Director Green that he could apply for a loan for the worker first.
"The loans from our factory are not usury, and there is no need for interest! What we need is your loyalty to the factory, and your loyalty to me! You are my workers, and we are a family! If you have difficulties, you must tell me what I can do.
I just want to help you eliminate your worries! Let you devote yourself to your work!"
"Okay! What the boss said is great!"
"Long live the boss!"
The workers all jumped up excitedly.
The worker who encountered difficulties after giving birth to twins was even moved to tears.
These workers are different from management like Green. They are ordinary employees who work hard and have roots in the grassroots. What they don’t ask for is high, which is to be paid on time and be able to support their families. When families encounter difficulties, the factory can help, and that’s all.
That's all.
Shi Zhijian's words are sincere and sincere. The most important thing is to grasp the pulse of grassroots people like them. They seek stability and stability. It is best to be able to see the future!
It has to be said that Shi Zhijian's move to "win people's hearts" is even more thrilling than the move just now.
Seeing those enthusiastic workers shouting long live the workers, Green and others who were following Shi Zhijian suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Things like "technology" can be learned and bought with money, but things like "people's hearts" are not so easy to control.
Even Green, as the director of this factory, is not sure that he can completely control the minds of these workers.
However, in just over half an hour, Shi Zhijian directly shortened the distance with these workers through "heart-to-heart talks" and "making things happen", so much so that the workers were so excited that they regarded Shi Zhijian as "one of their own"!
This is something Green, who has been an "old oily" factory director for many years, thinks he can't do!
But something that Green and others did not expect was yet to come.
Some bold workers, inspired by Shi Zhijian, began to "let themselves go" and put forward opinions on the factory.
"The food in the factory is not very good! I heard that the person who contracted the factory restaurant is Director Green's brother-in-law!"
"Yes, we don't have high demands. We are exhausted after a day's work. All we want is to have a good meal, not spoiled bread and potatoes!"
After hearing the opinion, Shi Zhijian folded his hands and said nothing, but turned to look at Green and others.
Green and others immediately felt the oppression revealed in Shi Zhijian's eyes.
"Director Green, what do you think about the canteen issue?" Shi Zhijian's tone was calm, as if he was careless, but his eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could kill someone!
Bata! Bata!
Director Green took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The managers who were following him all involuntarily took a step back and distanced themselves from Director Green.
"I can explain this problem..." Green racked his brains for words.
"I can listen to your explanation...is three minutes enough? If not, ten minutes!" Shi Zhijian looked at his watch, raised his head and said to Green with a smile, "Now, you can explain!"
"Well... there may be some misunderstanding..." Green stammered, wiping his forehead.
"Is there any misunderstanding?" The father of the twins, who had previously been promised financial support by Shi Zhijian, stood up and said loudly, "Your brother-in-law contracted the canteen, and in order to save money, he let us eat the pigs without eating anything!"
"Yes, the factory gives the canteen enough food money every month, but he only spends one-tenth to purchase food! What can he buy with that little money? Apart from buying some expired bread, moldy potatoes, and radishes and cabbage
Besides, you can’t even buy shit!”
"We haven't seen any meat in almost three months!"
“It’s so miserable to do such heavy physical work but not have enough to eat!”
The workers stood up one after another, becoming more and more excited as they spoke.
Green did not expect that these normally obedient workers would rebel at this time!
He looked at Shi Zhijian and was about to speak when Shi Zhijian interrupted him and said sharply: "I don't think I need to listen to your explanation anymore! These workers have already explained it to you very clearly! Now I will give you two choices, either you
Fire that brother-in-law of yours, or fire yourself! As for the food in the cafeteria today, I demand that it be meat!"
Shi Zhijian’s words were decisive and domineering!
So much so that Green and others were dumbfounded and did not dare to underestimate this young Chinese.
"Okay, boss! I will do it! Yes, I will definitely correct the mistake! I won't make it again!" Director Green, who was still arrogant before and did not take Shi Zhijian seriously, now nodded and bowed to Shi Zhijian with an attitude of 180
Change your attitude and try to lower your attitude.
"Very good, I only look at the results!" After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he didn't look at Green again and walked towards the third inspection point.
Green gritted his teeth, feeling that he had lost his identity just now, and wanted to secretly call the management to discuss how to deal with Shi Zhijian.
However, those managers learned about Shi Zhijian's "ruthlessness" and fired them as soon as they were told. In the end, they were just wage earners. How could they dare to confront the boss? They all pretended not to see Green's eyes and followed Shi Zhijian towards the inspection point.
Green opened his mouth, but seeing that no one was willing to stand on the same side as him, he finally stamped his feet and followed suit.
…
Shi Zhijian then inspected the painting, powertrain and other workshops of the automobile production line.
During this period, Shi Zhijian was still chatting and laughing, mingling with the grassroots workers, telling them that these workers are the most valuable "wealth" of the factory. The factory can be without management, but it cannot be without skilled workers like them! The management can recruit at any time,
As long as you give money, a bunch of people will rush to do it, but it is difficult to train skilled workers! Sometimes, no matter how much money you give, you can’t hire them!
These words moved the hard-working workers, and made Green and others frightened. They realized that Shi Zhijian had not taken them as managers seriously from the beginning to the end.
It's a pity that they are still so pretentious, thinking that they are so great and irreplaceable, but it turns out that they are nothing in Shi Zhijian's eyes!
In fact, this is indeed the case. The German economy is currently in a slump, and many people cannot find jobs and are unemployed at home.
Especially those managers who make a living by just talking. They can't do basic skills, but they can "manage" workers, and their salaries are much higher!
There is no shortage of such people in this era!
It can be said that after following Shi Zhijian to inspect several workshops, including factory director Green, they understood their status clearly for the first time.
Therefore, they did not dare to be disrespectful to Shi Zhijian in the slightest. They followed Shi Zhijian with uneasiness, and they answered all questions raised by Shi Zhijian!
In their eyes at this moment, Shi Zhijian seemed to have changed. He was no longer young and immature, but tall and mighty. Especially at this moment, Shi Zhijian's innate aura of a tycoon could make people feel awe with just one look.
