――――

Friday is an important day for Polestar.

With the acceptance of employee skills training by Liu Mingsheng, the renovation project of Mingde No. 1 Factory with more than 60 workers, four semi-automatic placement machines and multiple advanced testing equipment is about to be officially completed!

The first factory in Mingde has also been officially renamed the new Polestar factory, and the original mechanic Ma Dongsheng is still in charge of watching, and Zhang Kui will also help.

It is said that the production department of Polestar Electronics should have a technical director or a general manager such as a production director at this scale, after all, the two factories together have about 100 workers. However, there is no such manpower yet, so let Liu Mingsheng also be in charge for the time being.

This is a big event, and there must be an official launching ceremony, which Xia Yu must attend.

There is no way, Xia Yu continued to make a big move, pretending to be sick! But this time in the name of going to the hospital for a recheck, trying to rush back to be able to study at night.

Fortunately, Boss Fei had a good impression of him, and privately asked him how he learned spoken English, but of course he prevaricated.

At half past four in the afternoon, as soon as Xia Yu left the school gate, he saw Sun Bin from the marketing department standing on the side of the road waiting for him, and there was a white Jetta sedan beside him.

Sun Bin has also been working hard for a while recently.

He and Ma Weiqiang, the two "old men", plus three new salesmen, went to the physical stores of retailers around the country to do research and routine inspections according to Xia Yu's previous arrangement, mainly to see the business strength, sales, whether they raised prices privately, etc.

Of course, the sales of the main competing products also depend on it, especially the ones with similar prices or configurations, in short, the workload is not small.

However, Xia Yu's business trip allowance for them is quite good, not counting 100 yuan per day for accommodation.

They swept all nearly 100 cities in half a month, and did find a few stores that secretly raised the price of Polaris K1, and were officially warned by Polestar.

This is also what Xia Yu clearly requested.

Polestar gives profits to users, but it can't give money to scalpers to make pocket money. Referring to some lessons from Xiaomi in later generations, Xia Yu thought very carefully.

"Mr. Xia, you're here!" Sun Bin took off his black-framed sunglasses, took a step back and opened the car door, hunched over and grinned.

Xia Yu couldn't help but kick over: "Go, you kid can't see such a sassy bag! Why are you here?"

"I just came back from the station, and it happened that Mr. Liu said that you would go to the factory in a while, so I stopped by to join in the fun. Come and get in the car, this is my brother-in-law's car, and I am usually reluctant to let me touch it. ”

Xia Yu nodded, seeing that this kid had tanned a lot, and said a few words of encouragement.

Every day, he reads the report of the survey results from the marketing department and emails back with his thoughts. On the way, he inquired about the situation in various places, which was basically the same as he thought.

Originally, the sales of Polaris K1 had fallen to about 1500 a few days ago, and some cities only sold 3 units a day, after all, the people who read information on the Internet were basically covered, and Polestar invested very little in advertising in traditional TV and newspaper media.

However, with the public relations war in the past few days, sales have risen again, exceeding 2,200 units for three consecutive days, and the next momentum will be good.

On the new Polestar plant, there is also a row of bungalows outside the factory. There are six rooms in total, four of which are spare parts warehouses, and a larger one is used as a kitchen, and this side is for the workers to provide lunch. There is also one of the largest is the reception room, and it is simply renovated.

Most of the people were in the reception room, and when they saw Xia Yu and them coming, Liu Mingsheng went up first and said, he knew Xia Yu's temperament, and said directly: "Mr. Xia, let's go directly into the factory?"

"Okay! If the training can't be accepted, I'll ask you!"

"Hey, no problem guaranteed!"

Xia Yu knew that he was quite steady, and he felt a little more at ease.

Speaking of which, because of the previous life Foxconn and other incidents were more infiltrating, coupled with conceptual reasons, he still tried his best to improve the treatment of the entire worker. It's a bit tiring to count by the piece, and he's wondering if he should test the waters of the fixed wage system for ordinary assembly workers.

Of course, the opening should not be too large, and the bearing capacity of Polestar should be considered. He pondered it carefully, and it was still a bit embarrassing to compromise.

This assembly plant is much larger, and now it has been completely refurbished, and it is also divided into three areas according to function, mainly accessories assembly, machine inspection and factory packaging area.

The test area is the most improved than the Polestar factory, not only is there a separate area, but all kinds of anti-aging and anti-vibration, dust-proof and anti-static, aging tests, high and low temperature tests, computer connections and sound quality tests are fully displayed.

In addition, there is a new laser machine, which is used to type the product serial number, which is much more advanced than the original one, and can be directly controlled by the computer.

In the assembly area, there is also a row of brand-new placement machines and neat assembly workbenches.

The budget of 400,000 yuan was not enough, Xia Yu approved some more, plus nearly 200,000 yuan to sell the original equipment, which was mainly spent on this. This is still an average level compared to the big factories, but it is a big improvement over the old Polestar factory, and it has more confidence to produce more advanced products in the future.

The workers didn't do anything, they all stood in their usual training positions, and looked at this group of people with a little surprise and excitement.

After three days of comprehensive training, coupled with the similar operation of the process from USB flash drive to MP3, after a period of adaptation, they basically passed the final successful acceptance, and the results were not even worse than those of the Polestar factory.

Before Liu Mingsheng, Zhang Kui, and Ma Dongsheng were judges, and each group recommended one or two people with the best skills to come to a skill competition, and the recognized top three were selected among more than a dozen people, but they didn't say anything about rewards.

Of course, Xia Yu is the boss.

Xia Yu asked everyone to gather everyone to a relatively spacious place, took off the mask and put it in his hand, and said directly: "Everyone, I am Xia Yu, the boss of Polestar, most people here have never seen me, I am your nephew of the original Mingde Xia Zong, so everyone is still a family, nothing has changed!"

His eloquence is really not very good, but his speech gives people a very sincere feeling, and this sentence also pulls in a lot of relationships.

"Everyone has also heard that our MP3 players are selling very well in the market, and it turns out that Polestar Factory has received additional bonuses, and some of the outstanding abilities have special awards. Today, I'm announcing here in front of everyone that this policy will also be implemented in our new Polestar factory!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire workshop spontaneously applauded.

They have all heard about it, and there are many who do not believe it in private. Willing to give bonuses to ordinary laborers, it is directly 500 yuan, which has never been heard of in so many factories!

Xia Yu filled the fire again: "Everyone also knows that assembling MP3 is a little more complicated than a USB flash drive, and the process is more, but the operation is almost the same." The piecework standard at the old Polestar factory used to be one dollar a piece, but you have also seen it in the past two days, and with these guys, you can't completely count the pieces according to the previous manual equipment!"

He pointed to the four semi-automatic placement machines on the side.

It really can't be counted that way.

There were no placement machines at Polestar's old factory, only simple assembly lines, so basic operations could only be done manually.

However, the placement machine can significantly improve efficiency, it can solder integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors and other components to the PCB circuit board through a programmed movement. Of course, this is only preliminary, and the following is still to manually supplement the welding, which is also the main operation of the workers.

The quality of the products produced in this way is better, especially in the previous Polaris K1, which did have problems such as poor drop resistance.

According to Liu Mingsheng's estimate two days ago, this model can improve work efficiency by 15% after the workers are familiar with it, which is already quite good.

This also means that the production capacity of Polestar's two factories will increase to 2,500 units, which is enough to meet the needs of the market.

But in this way, it is unfair to calculate it completely according to the piece-rate wage, after all, the difficulty is a little lower.

The workers have been training this for the past few days, and they all know this reason, but they still stared eagerly at Xia Yu to see what kind of treatment they had.

"Everyone is staring at me like this, I'm hairy!" Xia Yu pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "I will also talk about my first surprise to you today, our side will officially start work tomorrow, and the salary will still be paid by one dollar!"

That's a 15% raise!

Liu Mingsheng was shocked when he heard this, Xia Yu hadn't discussed it with him before. The dollar given by the factory of Polestar Electronics is not low, and the factory that relies on manual work alone is still 9 cents, and the accommodation is 6 cents.

The atmosphere is even more hot!

The more than 50 workers in the new Polestar factory, plus seven or eight skilled workers, have been "brainwashed" these days, talking about how good the treatment of Polestar Electronics is, how hot the sales of Polaris K1 are, and the benefits will definitely be indispensable in the future.

There are many people who don't believe that the goods sell well but are harsh to workers and even deduct wages for no reason, is it still less this year?

However, Xia Yu promised so much in front of everyone, dispelling the concerns of most people, and everyone couldn't help but discuss, and then applauded more vigorously.

Some people began to think about how much money they could earn a day with their proficiency.

Xia Yu didn't care about everyone's excitement, and continued: "I know that some people must be thinking, Polestar is lucky now, and the product is selling well before they dare to do this, what should I do if the benefits are poor in the future?"

Rumble!

"No, it won't!"

"Really?"

"Boss Xiaoxia, this is nonsense, all turned into contract workers!"

Liu Mingsheng felt that his little heart was almost unbearable, and Polestar Electronics was having a good momentum now, but he didn't play like this! He even shouted stupidly to Zhang Kui next to him: "What did Mr. Xia say? Did I hear it wrong!"

Because of the crowd around me, I had to shout.

Zhang Kui, Ma Dongsheng, and a group of familiar workers next to them were also completely stunned; in the entire Nanyue Province, there are thousands of factories, large and small, except for special factories that require high-tech technology, how can they accept all contract workers? Even some large factories and brand-name factories with several thousand employees do not mainly rely on piecework labor? They just repair canteens and dormitories to serve people working in other places.

Xia Yu had long thought that it would be this kind of scene, he waited for more than ten seconds, then stretched out his hand and pressed down, and gradually the human voice began to fall, and soon all stopped.

When I say contract workers, I mean Polestar provides basic labor contracts for everyone, which can be signed for a period of one year. Usually the salary is still based on the piecework, and the reward is still rewarded, but if Polestar doesn't have enough orders, it will be paid according to the minimum basic salary, 1,800 per month, what do you think?"

So that's the case, Liu Mingsheng was scared into a cold sweat, thinking that this Xia Zong was okay and didn't really go crazy.

It's not unheard of for the contract labor system with a basic guaranteed minimum wage, although it only appears in some famous brand directly operated factories, but there is a precedent.

However, the basic guaranteed salary of 1800 is also much higher than the ordinary 1500.

Dare to do this, it also shows that Xia Yu's prospect for Polestar Electronics is far beyond everyone's imagination!

Liu Mingsheng subconsciously glanced at Xia Yu, who was standing in the center of everyone, full of energy, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and secretly gritted his teeth to improve himself and keep up with his speed.

The workers can naturally understand what Xia Yu meant, this type of contract worker is usually in the "legend" of their daily chat, and when they hear this young boss say it in person, they are relieved.

If it is all converted into an ordinary skilled worker contract, it is nonsense!

"Don't worry, boss, we will do a good job!"

"Guaranteed 1800, let's stay here!"

"Come on, Xiaorong, don't fail the assessment, let Brother Kui drive out the door!"

There were bursts of discussion, full of joy.

Xia Yu is also hot. mentioned this, it was not a whim, this was something Xia Yu had thought about a long time ago, and he said it today.

As an investor in the technology circle, he was more familiar with Internet companies in his previous life, but he has also been exposed to this kind of electronic factory.

The reports of "sweatshops" are not only in the workshops of large factories such as Foxconn and Flextronics, but there are not a few small private factories that are stricter than those of Zhan Zòng, but they are less exposed!

He is not a moral saint, nor has he made any grand wishes to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but he has the mind of a normal person. Reborn, it is not difficult to make money with your own ability and advanced understanding, so why not do better?

When everyone's feelings were almost calm, Xia Yu waved his hand again, and then the scene instantly fell silent.

The first two surprises were so powerful that everyone craned their necks and waited for him to say another one.

Xia Yu wiped the back of his head and said: "This surprise, in fact, there are three of them in passing, well, it seems to be just these two, I'll think about it later, why don't you count the next competition bonus?"

Everyone was amused by him!

But no one complains about anything, this little boss is really interesting!

Next, Xia Yu awarded the top three people in the skills competition after this training, which were 50,000, 2,000, and 1,000 respectively.

It's all cash!

Yes, just rushing this hand, it can be regarded as the third surprise.
