Chapter 268: Expensive Labor Costs
It's afternoon.
Just had lunch.
Fortunately, the chef hired by Boss Wang made Chinese food more authentic, and although the dishes were a little spicy, Wang Qiang still ate them with relish.
Around one o'clock, Boss Wang came back from outside.
Wang Qiang and others chatted with Boss Wang for a while, and then sat down to talk about the establishment of warehousing and logistics.
Boss Wang sat on the sofa, picked up a box of cigars, and asked all of them, but no one smoked, so he lit them and took a long puff, "I have slightly helped you contact two local brands in the United States, and they are willing to give some face to talk about, as for whether they can negotiate, it depends on your ability, and I can't let them agree." ”
"Bh. Wang Qiang nodded.
He knows that this is the reason, the company's management rights are in his own hands, Boss Wang only dividends, not involved in others, it is not easy to help contact brand owners, besides, those brand owners are willing to talk to themselves, it must be for Boss Wang's face.
Wang Baoguo, Gao Tai and Liu Yiyi were silent and did not speak, and they couldn't intervene in this kind of thing.
"I contacted about 11 brands. Boss Wang roughly said, "Coach, CK, Ralph Lauren, Don Konard, Mark Jacobs, Kate Spade, Rachel Zoe, Tiffany, Victoria's Secret, Samsonite and Estee Lauder, by the way, Clinique is owned by Estee Lauder, you can count one independently, see how many you can talk about." ”
Wang Qiang said: "I will do my best. But in his heart, he was thinking that Coach, CK, Tiffany, Victoria's Secret, Samsonite and Estee Lauder were the first targets, and the others were not bad, such as Ralph Lauren, Don Korner, etc., who were far less well-known in China, and he secretly regretted that Chanel, Armani and other famous brands are not native to the United States, which are very popular in China and far more famous than many brands.
For the time being, you can only buy discounted goods from shopping malls in the United States.
Wait until you have money in the future and talk slowly, he knows that if he is not in a hurry, it is impossible to become fat in one go.
After chatting about the brand, Boss Wang said: "It's okay to say that I have a few large warehouses myself, which should be able to meet your requirements." ”
Wang Qiang thought of a question and asked, "I need some assembly line packaging equipment, can you help me get it?"
"For example?" Boss Wang put the cigar on the ashtray and took a sip of tea from his teacup.
Wang Qiang has done his homework before coming, and it is natural to say that the head is the way, "first of all, handling equipment, narrow aisle forks, balance forklifts, moving trailers and electric stackers, packaging equipment, winding machines, strapping machines, then shelves and storage equipment, cantilever shelves, attic shelves, container unit appliances, storage cages, flat pallets, lifting, lifting equipment, lifting platforms, shipping lifting platforms, by the way, barcode printers should also have, as well as computers, turnover boxes, parts boxes, vacuum cleaners, temperature and humidity control machines, Automatic temperature logger. Ventilation systems, lighting systems, heating systems, fire safety systems, and monitoring system software, that's probably it. ”
"Ahem, ahem. ”
After hearing this, Boss Wang coughed violently and looked at Wang Qiang with a very strange look.
Gao Tai, Wang Baoguo and Liu Yi were also speechless.
"What do you want me to prepare for you?" Rao is the person who has been smiling on Boss Wang's face, and he can't help but roll his eyes at this moment.
In fact, there are some things that can be done by yourself, but Wang Qiang has no time to get those things, and there are many people in Hongmen, it would be good to send a few more people for this trivial matter, not that he wants to take advantage of Boss Wang, but that the New Year is getting closer and closer, Wang Qiang hopes that the global purchase can be officially opened in China at the beginning of the year, so he had to be cheeky and said: "It's not that you have a lot of energy." ”
Boss Wang was amused, "Then you treat me as a cow and a horse?" he sighed, "I have lived for more than forty years, and it is the first time that someone has done such an errand to me." ”
Wang Qiang ran the train and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's up to you." ”
"Your sycophants are too clumsy. Boss Wang said angrily: "Okay, let's talk about the construction of warehousing and logistics, I will help you with whatever you need, you are not familiar with life here in the United States, if you don't help you get it right, I am afraid that you may not be able to build a good platform for half a year." ”
That's true.
If Wang Qiang is allowed to do it himself, it is very likely that it will be possible for a year and a half.
In order to save time, in order to achieve the small goal he just set earlier, he must use the power of Hongmen.
"Warehousing and logistics are simple, as long as people are needed. Wang Qiang knows this very well, there are people, he must be trained, including sweeping, sorting and shipping, etc., each type of work is different, and the summary point is to ask for people.
Speaking of this, Boss Wang leaned forward slightly, "Say it in advance, my Hongmen people will not help you do these things." ”
"I know. Wang Qiang also straightened his waist.
Boss Wang said: "If you hire people yourself, the cost may be relatively large, the market in the United States and China is different, you hire a regular worker has a minimum hourly wage, now the minimum hourly wage is 4.25 US dollars, you think about how many people, and then find a way to recruit." ”
What the?
So expensive?
4.25 US dollars an hour is almost equivalent to 37 RMB, and the current exchange rate of the US dollar against the RMB is 8.7, in fact, it was only a few minutes in 93 years, mainly from this year China has implemented a floating exchange rate, so the US dollar against the RMB will greatly increase the exchange rate.
Thirty-seven yuan, this is still one hour, and if a worker works normally for eight hours, that is nearly 300 yuan, which can be equivalent to a month's salary of ordinary workers in China! If it is a full 9,000 RMB a month, this is still a conservative estimate, because the US security system is very perfect, what else do you have to pay insurance?
Wang Qiang is a little bit waxy, and the cost is too high.
He had only thought about other aspects before, and he didn't expect that manpower would be so expensive.
What to do?
At least 100 people want warehousing and logistics, right? Pay at least 1 million wages every month?
You must know that Wang Qiang now only has 50 million available funds on hand, and according to the minimum hourly wage mentioned by Boss Wang, he will have to pay more than 10 million yuan per year for labor costs alone, which is absolutely unbearable for him.
"Why don't you speak?" asked Boss Wang.
Wang Baoguo also looked over.
Mrs. Gao and Liu Yi didn't speak, they were just responsible for the safety of the Wang family's father and son, and they would not be involved in this kind of thing.
Wang Qiang smiled bitterly, "The price is too great." ”
Boss Wang smiled playfully: "It must be a big price, who made you choose the first warehousing and logistics to be built in the United States?"
No way.
This issue must be addressed.
Not to mention how low it is, at least, what Wang Qiang can accept in his heart is to reduce the labor cost by at least one-third, otherwise he really can't afford it, even if it is reduced by one-third, he has to grit his teeth and tighten his belt.
Don't worry.
Come to think of it, there will always be an idea.
Wang Qiang frowned and thought about it, wanting to find a perfect solution.
