Chapter 66: Zhou Libing made a move
The summer vacation is over, and Rima is going back to school, during the summer vacation, he earned a total of more than 10,000 yuan, and he was very happy, and he was very grateful to Wenlan, and said that he would continue to work on his days off. Some of this money is used as tuition for the next academic year, and the rest is sent to my parents except for a small amount of living expenses. Wenlan also has a good impression of the name, this child from a hard background, hard-working, thrifty, and knows how to honor his parents, is a good child.
Seeing that he had successfully taken the first step, Wen Lan's heart was very happy, but what to do next, watching the production site expand, but what about the manpower? There is no point in expanding the site like this without manpower. Do you want to take another step more boldly? Directly approve a factory? He remembered what Zhou Libing said, and before taking the next step, he had to ask a few more whys, and only after solving all the reasons could he set off. She is going to write two reports, one is a feasibility study report, and the other is a non-feasibility study report, which will be demonstrated from both positive and negative aspects. Since she would do her homework every night and record her thoughts, feelings, and understandings in a timely manner, these two reports were written without much effort.
A few days later, she dialed Zhou Libing's phone.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to disturb you. ”
"Why is Lan so polite, I said, you can come to me at any time, my words are not just casually, I must do what I say. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou, I have gained a lot through a period of hard work, and now I am ready to expand the scale, but I can't make up my mind on some issues, and I want to hear your opinions. ”
"Very good, good start. ”
"Mr. Zhou, how do you know that I have a good start, I haven't reported anything to you. ”
"I know a lot more than you think. Then Zhou Libing pointed out some things in the process of starting a business.
It was strange to ask Lan why Zhou Libing knew so clearly about her situation, and even knew about being bullied by the security guard.
"Haha, ask Lan, do you think I'm really so ruthless, ignoring you at the beginning stage, I said this at the time to let you go and work hard, without backstage support, you will move forward, otherwise you will subconsciously have a sense of dependence, and unconsciously lose some of your energy. In fact, every step you take is under my control, and if you can't go on, I will help you in secret. But I know you're going to make it. Your first step is a good one, and it's a good start. I guess you'll be calling me these days, and as expected. Zhou Libing was also very happy to see Wenlan's success and gave spiritual encouragement.
"It turns out that Mr. Zhou has been watching me, thank you, Mr. Zhou. I've got two reports ready to be sent over for your advice, and I don't know when you'll be free. ”
"It's not that I'm not available, it's that you're not available, you now have 800 pastry contract orders a day, it's hard to do it by your dad alone, you can't walk away, you have to do it with him at home. You just send me the materials on the computer, I know you mainly want to tell me in person, so don't send it on the computer, it's okay, we can also say it on the phone. "Week
Always said.
Wen Lan was very grateful to Mr. Zhou for caring about her so much, and said, "Okay, I'll send it to you according to the email address on your business card, please give me more advice." ”
"Okay, your business is also my business, let go of your hands and feet and do a big job, it is rare to fight a few times in life, now that you have the conditions, ask Lan You must fight hard." Zhou Libing said.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. ”
"However, I don't agree with one thing about you, but maybe you did the right thing, which is that you rented the house next door to expand the scale. I think you should go to the factory better, since the first step is right, the second step should not be so conservative, your original intention may be steady and steady, but the lack of hard work is not good, so no pressure to do big things, the steps are too slow. ”
"Mr. Zhou is right. ”
"But since I've rented it, I've already refurbished my discarded pastry equipment, and I know you'll be ready to use it soon, and I'm going to ship it to you, and the technicians will follow suit, and I'll not come back until I've trained you. Think of this site as your testing base. You see which day is lucky, this has to ask your dad, you can't install it any day. You know what I mean?"
Wen Lan admired Mr. Zhou even more, not only did he know everything he did, but he even thought about things she hadn't thought of. She knew what Mr. Zhou meant, and she wanted to choose a zodiac festival. "I understand, I understand, Mr. Zhou. ”
"After Wenlan installs the equipment and trains you and your father, the person I sent is not in a hurry to come back, and I also give him the task to help you find a good factory. Because you don't have experience in this area, I'll have to help you do it, ha. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. ”
"Okay, then first, you send the materials over, and we do several tasks at the same time, which is efficient. If there is anything to contact in time, you have now reached a critical time, and you must not miss it. Zhou Libing said a few words and hung up the phone.
Wen Lan was very grateful, she once again realized that there are many good people in this society, and Mr. Zhou cares about herself so much, she is only allowed to succeed, not to fail.
A few days later, according to the scheduled time, Zhou Libing transported the machinery and equipment for making pastries, and at the same time sent technician Lao Zhang to guide. The equipment is ready-made, and it can be installed, but it is a bit big, and it took three rooms to re-install it. A new problem was encountered during the test, the original equipment was designed according to the way of adding sugar to rice flour, and Shi Wan's pastry was made of rice flour or corn flour as the main ingredient, in addition to adding taro or potatoes, pumpkin and other foods, and at the same time, adding green or red vegetables according to the needs of the color, the materials were exquisite, and the process was complex. Because of this, it is difficult for people to imitate, and even if they do, the taste is not the same at all. According to Shi Wan, Lao Zhang upgraded the core part of the equipment - the computer control system until the trial output met Shi Wan's requirements. When the product trial production came, Lao Zhang taught the father and daughter to operate. The mechanical equipment is different, the raw materials go in, the computer automatic control system automatically matches according to the set formula, and the finished product comes out there, and it can be eaten directly without steaming, and the efficiency is doubled, many times faster than manual production, and the taste is still the same.
"Now it's rice flour and corn flour, what if I use wheat flour in the future?" asked
Lan asked.
"Then we had to have another set of equipment, because the wheat flour needs to be fermented, and the production process is different. Of course, this equipment can also be retrofitted, but this does not meet the operating specifications of the enterprise. Lao Zhang said.
After the successful commissioning of the equipment, Shi Wan slowly learned to operate, with mechanical equipment, one person is enough, and when he goes out to deliver or sell, Shi Wan can also cope with it alone.
Ask Lan and Lao Zhang went out to find a factory together, Lao Zhang said, according to Mr. Zhou's opinion, the plant area should not be too large, because just starting a business, to be realistic, it is impossible to spread the stall too big at once, but not too small, to leave appropriate leeway, about 5 years or so, it is best to lease. The location is best in the suburbs, if you consider the rent, if it is too far from the city, you have to rent a store in the city and set up a wholesale store. Wen Lan and Lao Zhang went to look for the factory according to the requirements of Mr. Zhou's tips, and first looked around the suburbs, but they didn't get anything for a few days. Later, they learned that there was an abandoned primary school building in a very remote place in the countryside of Xinfeng District, and asked Lan to take Lao Zhang to take a look. They took more than an hour by bus to reach their destination, the location is indeed a bit remote, but the transportation is quite convenient, just off the road. Lao Zhang took a closer look, in addition to the remote location, the others are ideal, because it is a school building, there are many rooms, each room is very large, two floors, 10 rooms upstairs and downstairs, downstairs is used as a workshop, each room can be put two equipment, at present, the room is not used up, in line with the requirements of Mr. Zhou's room for development, if the development is fast in the future, there are also a few rooms upstairs for placing equipment. The upper floor is used as an office and canteen, and the extra room can be used as a rest room for workers after work. The fence is also intact, and the playground in front is huge. Although the house is abandoned, the quality is still OK, old but not broken, the government originally attached importance to education, the quality of the school house is very reliable, and it will be renovated a little when the time comes. Ask Lan how Lao Zhang is, Lao Zhang said that it is very good, that is, the location is far away, and he needs to rent a store in the city.
"Okay, that's fine. Wen Lan said, "Then let's go to the owner, and if the other party agrees, sign the contract as soon as possible." ”
They came to the local township government, and as soon as the person in charge of the government heard that someone had come to rent an abandoned house, he immediately agreed, and the contract was signed for five years, and the rent part was paid once every five years, according to the current market, and if it was paid in annual installments, it would be according to the current market, and the price would increase in the future. Considering her own funds, if she had to take out 1 million after paying it all at once, she didn't have the strength, so she chose to pay it in installments.
The factory building was settled, and Lan asked Mr. Zhou to call to report the situation. Mr. Zhou said: "That Lao Zhang's task is completed, I will let him come back, repair my other equipment here, and let him send it when the time comes." I will now send Lao Luo over to help you get the factory done and build the factory. He'll tell you the specifics. In addition, I have read both of your reports, I agree with your feasibility report, and have written some comments and sent them to your mailbox, you can read them then. ”
Wen Lan listened to Mr. Zhou's words and was very encouraged, with Mr. Zhou's help, this year will definitely be able to set up the factory, the factory is up, it can be regarded as a real start, now this can only be regarded as the basic work at best, at most can barely be regarded as a start-up, the real test is coming.
