Currently in charge of the glass factory,'

This senior was recommended by Professor Tian's daughter, although he is not the same person as Zhou Fangyuan's "teacher", according to the traditional generation, Zhou Fangyuan is the other party's uncle. But I don't pay attention to this now, and Zhou Fangyuan and Professor Tian's son and daughter actually have nothing to do with each other, and the person recommended here is actually Professor Tian asking for Zhou Fangyuan. It's just that because this young man once studied at Jingcheng University, and Professor Tian was still the dean of the School of Economics at that time, Professor Tian had some impressions.

Zhou Fangyuan wanted to get a mobile phone, and he wanted to get a smart phone, but he didn't hide it from Professor Tian. Because this matter is very important, he has a lot of places that need to borrow from Professor Tian's relationship, so he must explain it to Professor Tian. As for Professor Tian, he is also very interested in the smartphone in Zhou Fangyuan's mouth. However, the mobile phone is still under development, so it will not be able to see the finished product for a while. As for the most important parts of the mobile phone, part of Zhou Fangyuan is ready to be independently developed, especially the core part, and the other part is ready to be imported, those less important accessories, imported, or found suppliers from China. The screen is one of the most important components, Zhou Fangyuan has already held it in his hands, originally he hoped to let his uncle be the director of the factory, but unfortunately his uncle is not very interested in this, so Zhou Fangyuan can only seek Professor Tian's help.

Professor Tian then recommended this young man named Zheng Limin, but he said that he was a young man, but he was actually in his thirties, more than ten years older than Zhou Fangyuan, and he was a proper senior.

And the information he provided now was very important to Zhou Fangyuan, which directly made his good mood worse.

Nanlong Glass Factory is the only glass factory in Nanlong City and the largest glass factory in Beishan Province, which is larger than Beitong Glass Factory.

However, the history of the Nanlong Glass Factory is not very long, only less than 20 years old. About 20 years ago, Nanlong Glass Factory was still called Nanlong Chemical Research Institute, at that time, because of national policy, it was rebuilt into a glass factory, and at the same time, because the state had a number of tasks issued to Beishan Province, because Nanlong Glass Factory was very small at that time, there were few workers, and there were few scientific researchers, mainly glass-related R & D personnel. In order to accelerate the development of Nanlong Glass Factory, the province transferred a large number of elite backbones from Beitong Glass Factory. Of course, according to the statement at the time, these people will be transferred to work for more than a year, while working, while training follow-up talents, these people can come back after a year.

At the end of the year, the tasks assigned by the state were not completed, and the training of new people did not go smoothly, so these people stayed in Nanlong to continue their work. This comes and goes, and it is a three-year situation. Three years later, after the Nanlong Glass Factory was on the right track, the Beitong Glass Factory was transferred out of a large number of elite backbones, and its scientific research capabilities were almost stagnant, and the production capacity of the factory was also greatly affected. As a result, those who were transferred were reluctant to return, and many of them moved in with their wives and children and settled in Namlong. As for the Nanlong Glass Factory, it is also unwilling to release people, and Nanlong is the provincial capital, so it is naturally more famous than Beitong.

What's more, the leaders of Beitong City at that time didn't seem to have a particularly clear understanding of what the consequences of this situation would be, and as a result, Nanlong's side didn't let people go, and Beitong's side actually acquiesced.

In this way, Nanlong Glass Factory developed, relying on the elite and backbone of Beitong Glass Factory, as well as the tasks assigned by the state, it was forced to become the largest glass factory in Beishan Province from a small factory that had just been established. However, the Beitong Glass Factory has gradually declined, and because of this great injury, the efficiency of the factory has become worse and worse in the next ten years.

Originally, Beitong Glass Factory is the largest glass factory in Beishan Province, not only because of the long history, but also because the geology of Beitong is very suitable for burning glass, and the quality of the glass burned is high, not only the entire Beishan Province is the territory of Beitong Glass Factory, and even several surrounding provinces and cities will purchase a large amount of glass from Beitong Glass Factory every year. It was because of this incident that the quality of the glass fired by the Beitong Glass Factory dropped a lot, not only losing the market in the province, but also losing the market outside the province. In addition, several factory leaders did not have any foresight, and the result was that the glass factory was declining day by day, and it was not as good as day by day.

After more than ten years, three or four years ago, the glass factory could barely afford wages. Since Zhou Fangyuan's sophomore year in high school, he has not even been able to pay his salary on time and in number. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Fangyuan was able to pick up this bargain, so from the bottom of his heart, he was generally grateful to Nanlong Glass Factory for its large-scale blood pumping behavior at that time.

After all, it is much easier to buy a full-fledged factory outright than to rebuild it from scratch.

Don't look at the fact that he has invested tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars now, but if he hadn't directly purchased the glass factory and built it from scratch, the price might have doubled. And the recruitment of workers, especially veteran workers, is a hassle. Unlike now, although it was indeed a blood that was sucked away back then, but after so many years, the glass factory has still cultivated a group of mature workers, especially those who are thirty or forty years old, in the prime of life, both physical strength and experience are at the peak, although high-precision glass can not be made, but ordinary glass is still no problem.

But the problem in the market now is that there are too many ordinary glasses, and most glass factories can easily fire ordinary glass. And the raw materials are getting easier and easier, and the advantages of the Beitong Glass Factory are no longer there. In addition, there is no R&D ability, and the glass, which was quite good back then, is no longer enough now. Moreover, the workers are experienced, which means that they have a lot of experience in controlling the heat and making glass, but what about the formula for firing glass? What about the specific process requirements? This is what needs to be developed, and the Beitong Glass Factory without research and development capabilities can only make the most ordinary flat glass, of course, there is no competitiveness.

After all, the Beitong Glass Factory is not like a private glass factory, and the cost can continue to be lowered. As a state-owned factory, Beitong Glass Factory has redundant personnel, coupled with the existence of a large number of retired old workers, the operating costs of the factory are very high, and these costs will be attached to the products.

So, is the Nanlong Glass Factory, which has almost drained the Beitong Glass Factory at one time, developed very well?

It's not like that, Zhou Fangyuan has learned about Nanlong Glass Factory before.

Nanlong Glass Factory is indeed bigger than Beitong Glass Factory, and the elite soldiers and strong generals of that year were dragged over, and the Nanlong Glass Factory at that time was very dazzling. It has not only become the largest glass factory in the province, but also completed several tasks assigned by the state, and is well-known in the industry. But the good times did not last long, and with the retirement of the oldest batch of workers and the retirement of researchers, the Nanlong Glass Factory soon entered a stage of scarcity. The director of Nanlong Glass Factory and the director of Beitong Glass Factory have a common problem, that is, they are extremely insensitive to the market. This is also a problem left over from the planned economy of those years, after all, all the production tasks of the factory were issued by the state, and everyone was used to listening to the arrangements of the leaders to do things.

And when the country began to engage in a market economy, the vast majority of the old state-owned factories fell into a situation of confusion, they did not know what to do, and without the care of their parents, they could no longer walk on their own. It will not open up the market by itself, will not change the product according to the requirements of the market, only know blind production, and then blindly sell. For the first few years, this was not yet apparent. After all, at that time, the country had just opened its mouth, but the private economy had not yet developed, and the bold people began to try, and a large number of timid ordinary people did not even dare to try.

It was not until the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1992 that the development of the socialist market economy suddenly began to flourish, and after many years of reform and opening up, the people's trust in national policies has also improved a lot. As a result, overnight, the market situation changed abruptly, the private economy grew rapidly, and these old state-owned enterprises fell into the quagmire.

This is true of the Beitong Glass Factory, and the same is true of the Nanlong Glass Factory.

Fortunately, after more than ten years of development, Nanlong Glass Factory has a deep family background and can still hold on for a while. Moreover, more than ninety percent of the market in the province is occupied by Nanlong Glass Factory, and even if it is a little bit of withdrawal, it will take a certain amount of time.

But from the beginning of the millennium, a number of small glass factories began to appear in several cities in the southern part of Bac Son province, which were small in scale and low in output, but there was no doubt that their products were no worse than those of Nam Long Glass Factory, and at the same time their products were cheaper. This had a serious impact on the market position of the Nanlong Glass Factory, and the first thing that was lost was the market in several cities in the south. Then those small glass factories were unforgiving, and in one fell swoop expanded their market to the north, and last year, these small glass factories began to appear on the market in Nanlong City.

This is a very dangerous signal in the city, but there is no way to stop it from Nanlong Glass Factory, and they cannot say that they can let the government use an executive order to suppress those small glass factories. After all, the times are different, now is the era of market economy, all walks of life pay attention to a market economy, just Nanlong Glass Factory, why can you be special?

So Nanlong Glass Factory can only reduce the price, but the price reduction is not a way, the price reduction, means that the profit is reduced, itself Nanlong Glass Factory also has the same problem as the Beitong Glass Factory, retired old workers, in-service new workers, higher welfare level, but relatively low production level...... All in all, the production cost of Nanlong Glass Factory is not low, they followed the price reduction, and in the end, they couldn't bear it first.

Finally, after holding out for a year, they chose to go north.

You must know that the glass of Nanlong Glass Factory originally did not enter Beitong City, and the reason was very simple, because they were too ugly to eat back then. fattened themselves, but they almost killed a mouthful of blood from the Beitong Glass Factory, not only could not slow down for so many years, but also accumulated a lot of hardship, and went bankrupt directly. It may also be out of apology, so there has been no Nanlong glass in the market of Beitong, and it can also be said that the other party deliberately left the last piece of soil for the Beitong Glass Factory to survive, otherwise the Beitong Glass Factory would have been unable to hold on.

What does it mean that Nanlong Glass Factory can't bear it.

Several small factories in the south, relying on lower costs, quickly seized the market, recouped funds, and then rapidly expanded production capacity, gradually encroaching on the market that originally belonged to Nanlong Glass Factory. In the past few years, he has robbed half of Beishan Province. Now it has gone further, not only to promote the market to Nanlong City, but also to continue to the north.

The leaders of the Nanlong Glass Factory were obviously frightened, and they began to move the market northward as well, despite the tacit understanding at the beginning.

And this made Zhou Fangyuan a little unhappy.

Oh, not to mention that more than ten years ago, you almost collapsed the Beitong Glass Factory, but now the Beitong Glass Factory has finally breathed a sigh of relief, and you immediately put your hand in? Although it is a market economy, it is too ugly to eat.

This is the ass deciding the head, if the glassfactory has nothing to do with Zhou Fangyuan, then he will not care about this problem at all.

Although he positioned the glass factory as a mobile phone screen, supplemented by other special glass, the main thing is to increase research and development efforts and accumulate technology. But before that, the factory must always be self-sufficient, the group has injected so much money into the factory, updating the plant, updating the equipment, introducing new equipment, although the Yuanfang Group is Zhou Fangyuan alone, but it is inevitable that the people below will complain. After all, none of us are raised by stepmothers, so why should the money that others have worked so hard to earn be filled into another bottomless pit? And even if Zhou Fangyuan doesn't say it, then Zheng Limin doesn't have the slightest idea? Zhou Fangyuan didn't just ask him to watch the door, as the factory director, or the general manager, he has the responsibility to continue to move forward with the glass factory.

How to survive in the cracks is the most important thing for a general manager to consider.

Thinking about this, Zhou Fangyuan looked directly at Zheng Limin.

Zheng Limin obviously understood what Zhou Fangyuan meant, and he moved closer.

"Dong Zhou, I don't think we should fight with them for the time being. Let go of this part of the market in the urban area and directly send our products to the surrounding districts and counties and rural areas. The windows of many old houses in the village are still made of window paper, and some of the glass has been broken, which is a market we can strive for. First take down the markets in the surrounding districts and counties and rural areas, and let the Nanlong Glass Factory and those small glass factories fight in the urban area, and wait until they are almost the same...... Perhaps we can think about the possibility of acquiring the Nanlong Glass Factory. ”

Zheng Limin said with a smile.

Zhou Fangyuan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and his gaze at Zheng Limin became much kinder.
