Rapid change is no longer enough to describe the Shekou Industrial Zone. In less than two years, it has transformed from a deserted beach with few people into a new town with numerous factories, convenient roads and a large population.
Here are the world-famous Huihong Group, the well-known Asian companies Jingyi Electrical Appliances, Lane Crawford, Golden Princess Cinema, and the newly put into operation Hongyu Clothing and Xinyang Clothing.
On this weekend, after nearly a year, Li Jianhui came here again.
From the establishment of Hongyu Clothing (Shekou) Company to the start of production, Li Jianhui has never been here in person. Previously, Hongyu Clothing General Manager Liu Qiulin was in charge, and Li Jianyang often helped take care of it.
Hongyu Clothing Manufacturing Company, which employs nearly 10,000 people, not only brings economic benefits to the Xinjian Clan, but is also a huge political bargaining chip.
The more employees Xinjian's industries have, the more conducive it is to the development of Xinjian's industries here. While reducing the risk of being targeted, it is also more conducive to the expansion of Xinjian's industries in the mainland.
Li Jianhui has always attached great importance to the production company here. Liu Qiulin, the general manager here, is also the vice president of Hongyu Clothing Group.
This is not only the case for Huihong Group, Wang Zhiyong, general manager of Jingyi Electrical Appliances (Shekou) Company, is also the vice president of Jingyi Electrical Appliances Group.
Currently, Xinjian Group is the largest foreign-funded group in mainland China, and it is also the foreign-funded group with the most employees. According to the latest data, Xinjian Group’s subsidiaries include Jingyi, Hongyu, Lane Crawford, Taihe Import and Export Trading Company, and Golden Princess Hospital.
The number of employees in mainland China has reached nearly 20,000.
This does not include Huihong Group, which is left to right, and Taoda Beverage (Nanhu) Company, which is under construction.
The inspection is just a quick glance. Li Jianhui has always believed that professional matters should be managed by professionals. If he doesn't understand it himself, he will not interfere casually.
Of course, he doesn't know what he knows, but that doesn't mean he can't enter this industry.
In the Xinjian Department, Li Jianhui only focuses on two things, human resources and finance. As for development, he only gives a general framework. The specific details are handled by elite talents from major companies. Under normal circumstances, he will not interfere.
.
It is precisely because of this that Xin Jian's development has been getting better and better in recent years. He himself is relatively relaxed and does not need to do everything himself.
At the subsequent high-level meeting, the heads of various departments of the company reported on the company's relevant situations.
After listening to the report, Li Jianhui said: "The company's development is better than I imagined. You don't have to worry about the backlog of finished products. The group's senior management and sales department will consider this. What you have to do now is to maintain the company's normal production and try its best to
Possible efficiency gains and cost savings.”
Liu Qiulin responded: "Since most of the current employees are novices, even after nearly a month of short-term training, they are still relatively rusty, so there are still some shortcomings in production capacity.
But please rest assured, Mr. Li, as time goes by, practice makes perfect, and I believe that after half a year, the production capacity will definitely reach the company's target."
Li Jianhui naturally understands this situation, and he does not blame these senior executives for this. Moreover, the group's current demand for production capacity is not very large, and he has time to allow these employees to familiarize themselves with their jobs.
Although there are nearly 10,000 employees here, most of them are just people who have just come out of the countryside. They are basically farmers who have just put down their backpacks and hoes. They have at most done some needlework before. They are very unfamiliar with the assembly line of this kind of large factory. They need
Just give them enough time to get familiar with it.
Fortunately, these people are very young, between the ages of 18 and 25, and their learning ability is pretty good. After training, they are now qualified for their jobs. Now it is mainly practice that makes perfect. As time goes by, the production capacity will increase.
There is a quick improvement.
I have to say that people in this era are very capable of enduring hardship. Whether it is the previous Huihong Company, Jingyi Electric Company, or the current Hongyu Clothing Company, the production line is based on piecework. The more produced, the higher the employee's salary.
This has also led to the company's employees being very fond of working overtime. Even Li Jianhui, who has memories of his previous life, has difficulty understanding the enthusiasm of these people in this regard, and it is even more difficult for the management of several major companies to understand.
Li Jianhui and the senior management also talked with some of their employees. Through the words of some employees, they also understood some of the situation. The main reason was still the issue of money.
Before that, they were working on their one-third of an acre of land at home without much income. They once wanted to join a factory, but they had no chance. After all, they only had rural registered permanent residence.
Now that they are here, with higher wages than those in companies they are familiar with, they naturally hope to earn more.
In this way, you can not only subsidize your family, but also accumulate assets for yourself. Whether you go home to build a new house or find a partner, you will be more confident.
Li Jianhui often lamented the loveliness of mainland people in this era. Their demands are too low. When they want to earn more money, they do not ask their bosses for a salary increase like in Europe and the United States, but think about working longer hours.
Compared with other places, investing and building factories here is definitely the least need to worry. Li Jianhui feels very sorry that those intensive industries in Hong Kong did not choose to relocate here. The grassroots employees here are definitely the best.
I finally realized that I had some conscience. I was worried that too much overtime would cause physical problems to employees, so Li Jianhui even specially held a high-level meeting.
The normal working hours of enterprises under the Xinjian Department are six to one. Depending on the nature of the industry, the working hours are also different, but the maximum working hours cannot exceed ten hours. If there is overtime, the total working hours of normal working and overtime are not allowed except for special circumstances.
More than twelve hours.
All companies must ensure that their employees have at least two days of vacation per month to avoid problems caused by long-term mental stress among employees.
In addition, Li Jianhui also asked the company to do supporting work in leisure and entertainment. There are large playgrounds, basketball courts, badminton courts, indoor table tennis courts, etc. in the factory area. The company holds a regular employee sports meeting every year to enrich the spare time life of the company's employees.
After the meeting, Li Jianhui and others went to the company's first cafeteria. I don't know if the company had known that Li Jianhui would eat here. Today, the cafeteria was quite clean, and the meals were prepared in strict accordance with company standards.
Eating the food on the plate, Li Jianhui said to the surrounding executives: "I don't require you to eat the same meal as the employees every day, but the company is absolutely not allowed to open a small canteen, and the canteen is never allowed to be prepared for you alone.
And you must pay attention to the canteen management. During this period, the review office is arranging review teams to review major enterprises. The focus is on logistics procurement. The canteen is also a major focus. I don’t want Hong Kong to be put into operation not long ago.
