After some turmoil, the beverage factory finally returned to normal, and the workers who got their wages were very energetic, because Jiang Zong, the head office of the company, in front of more than 1,000 workers in Chenchen, said that the wages of the workers in the whole factory would rise by 10 percent in the future, which was remarkable, and the minimum monthly wages of the workers in the beverage factory were more than 400 yuan, and what was 10 percent? That is, more than 40 yuan, 12 months a year, that is 500 yuan, which is more than a month's salary.

They are all ordinary people, and they can't compare to those rich people, tens of thousands of them don't pay attention to them, and these money, for these ordinary workers, is at least enough for a family of four or five people to spend a year's rice. To get by, you have to be careful with your budgets.

This is actually because of the repayment of a lot of previous arrears, as well as the more than five million yuan returned by those who ate empty salaries, Tang Xiaotian didn't expect it, and even called for a loss, he did have reason to feel a loss, because Feiyang Group paid a price of more than three million yuan, and won this large factory worth tens of millions, and then those money have been returned, and Feiyang immediately made a net profit of more than two million, in the world, is there a better deal than this?

Of course, Tang Xiaotian is just saying that if the beverage factory is not restructured, it will be completely bankrupt in less than two years, and it is better to take the initiative to find a way for them to live than to see more than a thousand workers facing real starvation.

One of the first big problems facing beverage plants after reopening was how to get rid of those stocks. Because of the chaotic management for a long time, more than 5,000 boxes of soda were piled up in the warehouse of the beverage factory, one box of 24 bottles, a total of more than 100,000 bottles of beverages.

In the past two years, Coca-Cola and Pepsi have begun to flow into Jiangcheng from other markets, and a bottle sells for two yuan and five, which is still selling very well, but in fact, it may not be much better than this drink in Jiangcheng.

After all, Jiangcheng Beverage Nest has gone through many years of precipitation, and it is definitely not because the product is not good, but because of business problems.

Now there are more than 5,000 boxes in the warehouse. Moreover, the production capacity of the beverage factory is more than 2,600 pieces of goods a day, and more than 5,000 pieces in two days.

The market of the entire Jiangcheng City was originally occupied by real estate beverages, so there has never been a problem with production and marketing, but since the entry of foreign cola into the Jiangcheng market, the absolute advantage is gone, and now the sales of beverages produced by the beverage factory have begun to shrink. The daily sales volume has increased from more than 2,000 boxes to more than 1,500 boxes today, and there is a problem of overproduction.

Faced with an embarrassing thing, many times the market sells foreign colas out of stock, but no one buys Jiangcheng's real estate drinks. As a result, the retailers below are starting to resist local brands, and the merchants are profit-seeking, and they don't care where things are made, as long as they make money.

Today happens to be Saturday, and school is closed. Originally, Xue Weina wanted to pull Xiao Yang to a meeting to discuss the matter of the eleventh event, but Xiao Yang refused, and said that it would be her credit in the future. Joke. Let me be hypocritical with you, and you want to pull me to work overtime on your days off?

Xiao Yang will sit in the conference room of the beverage factory. A few bonsai trees are placed in the open space in the middle of a huge mahogany conference table. Light this table. Xiao Yang thinks. There are no tens of thousands, and it will never be able to get down. And those few bonsai. It's even more valuable. The heart said that spending public land money is really bold. If the beverage factory was originally a private enterprise. There will never be such a luxury.

Venue for today's meeting. They are all high-level beverage factories. On the part of the group. There were only two participants, Jiang Dong and Xiao Yang. New company. Jiang Dong always has to worry a lot. Besides, this project is Xiao Shao's own hands. He's got to behave. Give Xiao Yang a cover. It can't be left to him. Say that. What else do you want to do as the CEO of your own company?

"Director Xie. Have you ever thought about it? Why can't our drinks dry those foreign colas? Jiang Dong looked at Lao Xie. Asked with a smile.

Old Xie frowned slightly. He really didn't know much about Coca-Cola and Pepsi. In fact, this is a common problem of state-owned enterprises. Look down on those outsiders. I feel like I'm the snake of the land. It's the Lord. Those outsiders are a piece of, but they often wait until they find out that something is wrong. When you want to save the land. It's generally too late.

Lao Xie is the same. He had always had a huge prejudice against Coca-Cola and Pepsi. I don't think there is any merit in foreign gadgets. It doesn't taste as good as the "top quack" soda produced by the beverage factory. It's still so expensive. The average salary per capita is only a few dollars these days. How many parents are willing to buy that kind of drink for their children?

Even his grandson shouts and drinks Coke all day long. Lao Xie didn't take it seriously. He didn't think about it. this era. It's completely different from my own time.

"I think it's okay, now our top soda is still standing in the first place in Jiangcheng City's drinks, although it is right to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but I really don't think we can't do foreign cola!" Lao Xie thought for a long time, and held back such a sentence, and his expression was still a little disdainful.

Xiao Yang knew at a glance, this old man, his feelings have not yet taken others in his eyes, alas, is it really waiting for the market to be occupied by others, and then regretting it when he took the money to buy you? However, Xiao Yang originally used Xie Lao to ask him to take charge of the personnel of the factory, and asking him was just to show respect.

Jiang Dong turned his head to another middle-aged man, this person is called Sorghum, a very simple name, but the person is not simple, like Chen Guangming, he is specialized in research, but he is not as famous as Professor Chen. Seeing the boss of the group company looking at him, Sorghum Muna's face was a little nervous.

He is a typical intellectual, not good at communicating with people, but he is definitely an authority on the study of soda. This time, the wages of these technical talents have been raised by 20 percent, which is something that these honest technical workers never dreamed of, you know, the salary of the factory director has only risen by 25 percent, which shows that the boss behind the scenes attaches great importance to these intellectuals.

But all people with a high level of education have a sense of arrogance in their bones that no one is convinced, but literati also need a place to eat, and they will definitely not eat the food that comes to them, but if someone can be polite and virtuous, they will still be willing to pay their blood.

Sorghum is such a person, he has been the technical director of the factory for many years, and Sorghum, who was born in food science, is 44 years old this year, which is the time of his prime. Seeing that Mr. Jiang was looking at him, Sorghum said: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xie, I am engaged in research, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi." I've drunk them all, and I can't say it's not delicious, and I can't say it's delicious. I think the main reason for their popularity lies in a foreign character. ”

Jiang Dong nodded approvingly, this senior engineer is still very reliable in speaking, this question is actually quite simple. But many people just can't think of this, and he can think of anyone who is engaged in research. Obviously love and know the industry very well.

"Yes, I agree with the senior engineer. "A woman in her forties with glasses, surnamed Huang, called Huang Xuemei, is the former sales manager of the factory, this woman is very shrewd, Lao Xie told Xiao Yang before he took over. This woman is very powerful, she has a set of sales, but she dares to start, dares to grab money, uses it or not, and is between five and five.

Xiao Yang and Jiang Dong are actually not afraid of such people, they are bold and greedy, and they also know what kind of enterprise they are. The ability is there, Xiao Yang won't care if they make a small fuss, besides, they dare to reach out, mainly because there are problems in management and system, if the management is strict and the system is strict, even if they want to reach out. I'm afraid I don't have the guts.

So Xiao Yang, Jiang Dong, Fang Lan and others made a decision at that time - use!

Huang Xuemei glanced at Xiao Yang, who was sitting in an inconspicuous position. Knowing that this young man is the future successor of Feiyang Group, he is a little envious. Having a good background is different, as soon as people are born, they shout the golden key, and the starting point is so much higher than their own hard work for two lifetimes, people are better than people, and they can't compare.

"I have been a sales manager for many years, and what touches me the most is a sentence from those dealers: You can't have an English name for your soda? Even if you put a few English letters on it, the sales volume can rise by two levels!" Huang Xuemei said with emotion: "It's a pity that this opinion has not been taken seriously." ”

Lao Xie took over at this time and said: "Yes, I don't think it's necessary at all, Chinese products, give Chinese drink, make a fart bird language?" What, the moon in foreign countries is rounder than China?"

Lao Xie's words made many people present laugh kindly, and everyone knew that this stubborn old man was not aimed at Huang Xuemei, but at the dissatisfaction of young people nowadays with the pursuit of foreign countries.

Huang Xuemei also had a smile on her face, originally she felt that she was definitely going to be taken down this time, because she knew that Lao Xie had always looked at people like her unpleasantly, but she didn't expect that she not only didn't go down, but also was promoted to a level, and another sales manager who could compete with herself was dragged into the water by Zhou Changfa, so now she has the final say in the entire Jiangcheng market! When Fang Lan, the vice president of the group headquarters, talked to herself, she also said that she could stay in the factory, and Lao Xie played a crucial role.

Although Vice President Fang's words may just be a polite remark for Lao Xie, Huang Xuemei, who knows Lao Xie's temper well, knows that if Lao Xie doesn't say good things, he will already go down. Because when Vice President Fang talked to her, he pointed out something very vaguely, which means that the company knows what kind of person you are, but the company still uses you, and you can do it yourself in the future.

Huang Xuemei is not stupid, she is a woman, she can survive to this point, and her knowledge is naturally indispensable, so she immediately assured Fang Lan, please rest assured that I know what I should and shouldn't do in the future.

Huang Xuemei continued: "Director Xie, your set is all old arguments, and it is appropriate to put down those ten years." ”

The people present naturally understood what those ten years meant, and they all laughed, and Lao Xie just rolled his eyes and didn't squeak. He knew his shortcomings, so when he took over the factory, he made it clear that he didn't care about the economic development of the factory, and he just interjected, but he was just angry for a while.

Jiang Dong nodded at this time and said, "Manager Huang makes sense, you go on." ”

Appreciated by the general manager of the group, Huang Xuemei is still very comfortable, although the young man is nearly twenty years younger than herself, but the person's bearing and position are there, and you can't help but respect it.

"So, I thought, our name is also a bit cheesy, and now in this era, it is no longer the kind of era that only pays attention to the connotation and does not pay attention to the appearance, and you have to rub it on your face if you have powder. Huang Xuemei chuckled and said, "So, I think that while the factory is changing, we can change the name of the registered trademark." It just so happens that our group also has a juice factory, I think it's good to call it Feiyang Soda, and then get an English name. Mr. Jiang, that's all for my opinion. ”

Xiao Yang couldn't help but nod secretly at the bottom, and said in his heart that this Huang Xuemei had two strokes. If you have time, you have to cultivate this person well, greedy, this problem is easy to solve, she can't touch the financial power, she is greedy and has nowhere to be greedy, and then give her a high salary, if not, allocate some shares of the beverage factory to her, I don't believe that she is not tempted, and she still wants to reach out when the time comes. have become shareholders, is it possible to steal their own things?

Jiang Dong also noticed Huang Xuemei's talent, because of these things. It was all the result of his discussion with Xiao Yang last night for half a night, although there are still many things that Huang Xuemei didn't mention, but she, a woman, can have such insight, and she has already compared many men here.

"What do you think of Manager Huang's suggestion?" Jiang Dong smiled and looked at these people present.

"I think Manager Huang's opinion is very good, and I agree. "It's Sorghum who speaks, and he belongs to that radical faction, and he's not conservative at all.

"I've used the trademark for so many years, and I can change it. Something is not good?" said an old man who looked to be about the same age as Lao Xie, "Whether the local consumers in the market can accept it is still a question. ”

Lao Xie unexpectedly did not vote against it at this time, but said: "These problems, my old guy is outdated, so I won't express my opinion, but I also think that we have used this brand for many years, so we don't need it anymore." It's a pity, but I always have to keep pace with the times, when it's time to reform, I thank you for your support!"

Everyone else is also in favor of it, and in general, there are more people who support it and less people who oppose it. After all, more people's hearts and eyes are alive. Now this company is not surnamed the country, but private! In fact, if Jiang Dong is stronger. There was no need to consult with them. Directly change it, anyway, it's the boss's money that is tossed. What does it have to do with these workers?

So several people are holding this mentality to express their support, of course, who thinks what's in their hearts, Xiao Yang and Jiang Dong can see roughly the same.

Jiang Dong knocked lightly on the table at this time, the conference room quieted down, Jiang Dong smiled and said: "Actually, the group headquarters, the planning department, has come up with a plan, I will talk to everyone first, and then send the information to you, everyone take a look, express their own opinions, although we are a private enterprise, do not engage in a word, in short, everyone is for this factory to be better, for everyone's own pockets to be more bulging." ”

Everyone loved to hear this, so they all looked at Jiang Dong with expectant eyes.

Jiang Dong said unhurriedly: "Manager Huang's suggestion has already been half right, here, I have to admire Manager Huang's vision and insight." These words made Huang Xuemei's already wrinkled eyes in her forties smile, and Jiang Dong had praised her twice in a row, which shows that the headquarters really values itself, rather than using her to stabilize the market.

The more Huang Xuemei looked at this boss, the more pleasing she became, and said in her heart that if the old lady could be twenty years younger, she would chase after this young man who was covered in gold.

Jiang Dong continued: "The reason why the people began to disown us is that I think it is caused by the following aspects, first, our beverage trademark is too simple, just three big characters, the top quack, and then the next line of small characters, produced by Jiangcheng Beverage Factory, and then the trademark paper is still very inferior, there is no grade at first glance; Jiang Dong said, taking out a hand-drawn drawing, this picture was drawn by a woman named Zhou Hui, Xiao Yang didn't expect Zhou Hui to have good sketching skills.

The bottle is actually the same as the Coca-Cola glass bottle of later generations, with a 350 ml bottle.

As soon as these people in the audience saw this bottle, several people immediately said in unison: "This bottle is too small, right? Can it hold more drinks? Isn't this even more uncompetitive?"

Jiang Dong smiled and said: "This thing, not more has an advantage, our current drink, isn't it 50 ml more than foreign cola? Let me talk about the third point, our drinks are not expensive enough." ”

Facing the surprised eyes below, Jiang Dong remembered that when Xiao Yang said it last night, he also had that expression, until Xiao Yang said his reason, Jiang Dong still felt a little incredible, but Xiao Yang's suggestion for so many years didn't seem to have been missed, Jiang Dong had a somewhat skeptical attitude, so he believed it.

"We bottle drinks now, a bottle is 550 ml, the cost is about three cents, and the wholesale price is four cents and five. Jiang Dong chuckled, starting tomorrow: "The drinks produced by the production line have been doubled, the wages of workers are paid as usual, the new beverage bottle assembly line has been ordered, and it will arrive within a week, so starting tomorrow, the price of our drinks will be reduced to the ex-factory price of three cents and five thousand bottles, and moreover, enter 10 bottles and get 1 bottle! At the same time, inform those dealers that the beverage has been restructured, and this batch of drinks is the last batch! If you don't enter, the top will be gone in the future." ”

"Huh?" This time, even Huang Xuemei was stunned, isn't she just waiting to lose money? The wages of the workers have risen, the price of drinks has dropped, and the goods have been suppressed, and the production volume has doubled...... This is simply to speed up the time of their own death, these people have just gotten rid of the pressure of the long hair, but they don't want the scorpion family to be yellow in two and a half days, at that time I really can't find a tone to cry.

"That's not right. Everybody made that point.

Jiang Dong looked at Xiao Yang, who was sitting there very leisurely, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just follow what I said, you have to believe in the strength of the group!" This sentence, everyone was silent, although they didn't know much before, but after Feiyang acquired the beverage factory, the senior management of these companies naturally knew the strength of the headquarters, not the general terrible, the total assets of the group have exceeded 500 million, which is not much worse in the entire Northeast, not to mention the largest private enterprise.

Jiang Dong gave everyone another reassuring pill at this time: "Actually, the points I said are classified into one point, that is, the things we produce now, which are delicious, but they are not of grade, this time the change is to change the vest of the product!

"Change the vest?" Many people looked at Jiang Dong suspiciously.

Jiang Dong's face flushed, and he said in his heart how to tell the joke about Xiao Shao's vest, when Xiao Yang said to change the vest last night, Jiang Dong still got to the bottom of it to understand what it meant to change the vest, he didn't dare to say it in this conference room, for fear that those who were drinking water would be sprayed.

"Hehe, it's just to change the image!" Jiang Dong said seriously.

After the meeting, Jiang Dong and Xiao Yang sat in the car, each with a cigarette, don't look at Jiang Dong in the conference room eager to pat his chest to ensure that the reform will definitely succeed, but when no one is around, facing Xiao Yang, he has no confidence at all. "Xiao Shao, do you think this reform can be successful?"

Xiao Yang glanced at Jiang Dong, and then said: "You are a person, everything is good, very good, but many times you are a little shy from doing things, don't say that this time it is my idea, even if you fail, it will not be on your head, you are just an executor, even if it is Mr. Han, I will explain the same." Looking at Jiang Dong wanting to explain, Xiao Yang smiled and said: "I don't mean to blame you, you remember, any reform will have a price, but you have to take a long-term view, be bold, and be bigger!"

said, looking at Jiang Dong with a smile: "By the way, the bet you made with Sister Fang, it is estimated that you will lose, I suggest that you don't look for a girlfriend within two years, and Mrs. Sister-in-law will go crazy when you save it, haha!"
