Chapter 926: Cost Pressures Brought on by Rising Prices
"Haha, it's nothing, it's all here, sit down, sit down!" Chen Guorong stood up and said with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You old Chen, don't tell us anything happy. Saying that, Xu Shijie turned his head to look at Jiang Chen and said, "You kid, you are still willing to come back to see a few of us old immortals." ”
"How can I be, Uncle Xu, don't you see I'm coming back. Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, just come back. A few days ago, we were still talking about it, saying that if you don't come back, we'll send someone to invite you. Xu Shijie sat down on the sofa next to him as he spoke, and several other people also sat down with a smile. Immediately, Chen Guorong's secretary walked in, served Xu Shijie and the others a cup of tea, filled Jiang Chen and Chen Guorong's teacups with water, and then withdrew.
And Chen Guorong immediately dispersed a cigarette for everyone, and then said with a smile: "This kid happened to come back today, let's all have a meeting first, and let's discuss some recent things and some future plans." ”
"Well, I think so. Xu Shijie also immediately said.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Hongfei and Deputy Director Zhang next to him also nodded and said: "We should have a meeting and we will ventilate, we haven't had it for a long time." ”
And Qiu Jiayan and Ma Guoliang on the side naturally had no opinions, so Chen Guorong nodded and said, "Okay, let's start our meeting now." Everyone talk about everything, so that we all have a number in our hearts. ”
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Ma Guoliang on the side was the first to speak: "Okay, I'll take the lead." Yes, with the development of the current economy, prices have also increased a lot. Many people below are responding that the current salary is really not enough to spend, so they want to ask us to raise their wages to ensure their livelihood. I thought that this price has risen too fast this year, not to mention the following employees, even my daughter-in-law has complained that prices have risen a lot this year. I think we have achieved good results in this exhibition, after deducting the profits and taxes paid, we still have a lot of money left, can we make appropriate adjustments to our existing salaries and raise salaries. ”
"Do you want to adjust it again, how many times have you adjusted it? Now the level of workers in our factory is much higher than that of other factories and enterprises, why are they still clamoring for a salary increase? I think let's ignore them this time, or this thing will be endless. Qiu Jiayan frowned and said dissatisfied.
"It can't be said that the wages of the workers in our factory are indeed much higher than those in other factories. But the work intensity of our factory workers is very high, and the requirements are very high. And in order to make the workers responsible for themselves, we adjusted the wages. On the one hand, it is an incentive, and on the other hand, it is also a compensation. Zhang Hongfei shook his head and said.
"You talk about how prices are always rising, two years ago, a box of matches was only two cents, and now it has become a dime. Chen Guorong also frowned and complained.
Hehe, Jiang Chen smiled and said: "This has something to do with the country's macroeconomic regulation and control, and with the deepening of our opening up, our ties with foreign countries have become closer and closer." This requires us to integrate with foreign countries in terms of some relevant economic models in terms of finance. In order to have a relatively relaxed environment for the development of our domestic economy, it is necessary to carry out appropriate regulation and control within the entire market system. A certain degree of inflation is conducive to economic growth and the export of products. In this respect, this phenomenon is beneficial to the development of our country's economy. Of course, it also has its side effects, which is that prices rise and the purchasing power of our currency decreases. Judging from the current general environment, this phenomenon may not be changed in a short period of time, so we must make relevant preparations. ”
Hearing Jiang Chen do this, the few people sitting there frowned, and their faces became solemn. Xu Shijie on the side was worried about Jiang Chen: "Xiao Jiang, according to what you mean, there is a possibility that this price will continue to rise, and it will not change in a short period of time." ”
Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "It's not possible, but certain, as long as we open up to the outside world, as long as we develop the economy, inflation will continue, which will inevitably lead to further increases in our prices." ”
"So in this way, the wages of our workers will continue to be adjusted?" Qiu Jiayan asked with a frown.
Zhang Hongfei, who was next to him, said worriedly: "Not only wages, but also the cost of our various raw materials, as well as a series of other things related to survival, will rise." This also means that in the future, our product cost will rise further, and our profit margins will be further compressed. ”
Hearing Deputy Director Zhang say this, Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "This is not necessarily, it depends on who our customers are." If it is domestic, then our profits will inevitably decrease. However, if we are oriented abroad, then we can take advantage of the interest rate to continue to make profits, and the profit margin will gradually expand with the change of interest rates. Of course, we don't need to worry too much, because the increase in prices is universal, and our products will naturally grow with the prices. In addition to the fact that the contract has been signed and cannot be changed, we can completely readjust the price of the product according to the level of price increase, which is also allowed by the market. ”
"Well, Xiao Jiang's analysis is right, I think we have to do this matter quickly. Go back and let the marketing department come up with a specific adjustment plan, so that we can also avoid unnecessary losses. Xu Shijie nodded.
"Okay, I'll go down when I get back. Zheng Hongfei nodded in response.
"Okay, that's it, let's talk about wages. Xiao Jiang, what do you think about the workers' demand for wage adjustments? Chen Guorong asked at Jiang Chen.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Jiang Chen thought for a while and then said to everyone: "I think so, this salary still needs to be adjusted." It's just that we can't make frequent adjustments, which will cause confusion and affect the authority of our leadership. In this case, it will be difficult to manage in the future. ”
Seeing everyone nodding, Jiang Chen continued: "In the future, the rise in prices and jobs will be a long-term thing, and we must be prepared for long-term adjustments." In this case, let the human resources department set up a wage adjustment study group, calculate the price increase level each year, arrive at a reasonable percentage of the increase, and then publish it once a year. Of course, this increase should not be too high, nor can it be directly linked to the price level of the year, as long as it is maintained within a reasonable range of increases. Otherwise, if you rise so much at one time, how can it rise in the next year? ”
"Well, I think Xiao Jiang's method is good, I agree. Xu Shijie nodded in approval.
"I agree. Immediately, Zhang Hongfei also nodded.
And Ma Guoliang recorded Jiang Chen's words and said: "I think Xiao Jiang's plan is good, I have written it down, and I will organize some after I go back, so that they can come up with a reasonable implementation plan as soon as possible." ”
"Alright, that's it. Old horse, this matter will trouble you. Chen Guorong said with a final word. (To be continued.) )
