In April, the whole country of China officially ushered in spring, especially in the streets of the south, some people even began to wear short-sleeved T-shirts.

Xia Yu wrapped his jacket, and he really felt a little hot, so he simply took it off and put it on his hand, and couldn't help but say to Xu Jiahui beside him: "Uncle Xu, is this factory really integrated so quickly?"

Xu Jiahui slowed down and said with a smile: "It's faster than planned, and they are also level-passing." Rest assured, there are professional third-party institutions that have tested it, and I have been staring at it myself. Besides, if you see it with your own eyes in a while, you'll know. ”

"Well, it's to see. ”

The factory that is coming today is one of the two factories that Polestar acquired from Panda Mobile in the Nanshan Science and Technology Park in Pengcheng.

In Xia Yu's early plan, the two factories of Wuxi and Pengcheng were prepared to transfer all the people and equipment that could be transferred after the Pengcheng headquarters was built, and the others would be directly disposed of.

He has his own high-end production capacity, which is the best feedback for R&D support and the execution of various strategies, which is a strategy he has set a long time ago.

In fact, the headquarters located in Yangcheng Science City, which lasted more than half a year, has indeed reached the final stage - the decoration has basically been completed, and the effect has reached the expected level, and it will be officially announced before May Day.

The five-storey headquarters has only one main body covered with a glass curtain wall and resembles a water cube, and the bottom two floors will be used as production and assembly workshops, which can accommodate more than 3,000 workers in total, and now a new round of recruitment has even begun.

But Xu Jiahui built a medium-sized assembly plant with him, located in Pengcheng. In fact, it can be kept.

"Considering the future shipments of Polestar's two product lines, the headquarters workshop is still far from accommodating. It has been three years since the Pengcheng factory was built, and it has a stable management team and a large number of skilled workers, the level is quite good, and the labor cost of Pengcheng is not high, so I can completely retain it. ”

It makes sense, but outside of the plan, there is nothing to do, Xia Yu plans to come and see it in person.

The director of this assembly plant is Liu Canbang, who was hired by Panda Mobile three years ago with a high salary. It has also experienced the process of Panda mobile phone from its development to glory and then to rapid decline.

to his level. Of course, he has access to some high-level activities, so from the bottom of his heart, he supports the acquisition of Polestar Electronics.

At least no matter how integrated the previous team is, it will be difficult to rise again.

But. He knew that the young boss had wanted to dismantle the factory. Or the previous rectification work was completed ahead of schedule. And began trial production of the South Pole Star A100, plus Xu Jiahui built yì from the side, before I decided to come and see it in person.

So today is actually an inspection -- whether this factory, which I have put a lot of effort into, can be preserved. Let's look at today's table.

It takes two minutes to get off the bus from the main road and walk to the factory gate, Xia Yu listened to Xu Jiahui continue to introduce the situation here, and at the same time led people inside, and saw Liu Canbang from a distance that he was already waiting with someone, and he was anxious to greet him: "Mr. Xia, Chief Engineer Xu, please come inside!"

"Mr. Liu, you're welcome!" Xia Yu met Liu Canbang once in Jinling.

Liu Canbang said with a smile: "Where, Mr. Xia is here for the first time, let's rest in the conference room first, I have already gathered everyone." ”

Xia Yu waved his hand: "No need, let's go to the workshop first." ”

"Yes, please come here!"

……

Because the history of this factory is only three years, and the construction standard is not low, both the main building and the rows of production lines and various processing and testing equipment inside are still very new, and there is a feeling of fine dust. It feels good to look at it.

The group put on dustproof clothing and walked inside, only to see a row of unassembled colored shells arranged in plastic bars on the neat and clean shelving table, which is the "Polestar 6 color" shell of the A100.

On the other side, various components such as screens, patches, and motherboards are also lined up one after another, and they are quickly assembled by workers wearing transparent gloves.

Xia Yu remembered the scene when he was just reborn and visited the MP3 factory with his uncle.

On the production line, female workers in light green production clothes were very skillful in their hands, Xia Yu walked over and asked softly, "Excuse me......"

The female worker looked to be in her early twenties, and when she saw Xia Yu being surrounded by a group of people, followed by the workshop director and Director Liu, she knew that it was the leader above who inspected it, and hurriedly said: "Oh, leader, you ask!"

This girl is quite calm, and she has probably experienced inspections before. Xia Yu smiled and said, "What's your name, how long have you been here?"

"My name is Li Yan, and today is the second year. ”

"Oh, are you satisfied with your job here? You don't have to be nervous, just tell the truth. ”

Liu Canbang also said beside him: "Li Yan, you can tell Mr. Xia directly." ”

Li Yan blinked: "The first half of last year was very good, better than several factories around, but it began to stop work several times in the second half of the year." However, our managers here are relatively good, and the basic salary has not been broken, so I have not left. ”

"Lately? I mean after a new order has arrived?"

"That's a lot better! Although the standards are a little stricter, we are all skilled workers, and it is not difficult to assemble this mobile phone, and it is okay. ”

"How long do you work a day now?"

"I was working the morning shift lately, from eight to four in the afternoon. ”

"What about the night shift, are you adapting?"

"It's okay, we all work monthly shifts...... There are dormitories and canteens in the factory. ”

……

Seeing that the female worker was quite talkative, Xia Yu asked more than 20 questions in one breath, and some workers next to him stopped to watch, and he noticed that they basically agreed with Li Yan's statement.

Xia Yu said a few more words of encouragement, and then led people out. Liu Canbang saw that Xia Yu was interested, and introduced on the side: "There are a total of 768 workers in our factory, most of whom are skilled workers for more than one year, and the level is at a high level in the industry. ”

"Well, it looks good. By the way, what is the daily production capacity of A100 now, and what is the yield rate?"

"We have four production lines with a production capacity of more than 16,000 units. After the yield rate stabilized this week, it was almost 92%. ”

"Is the test done here?"

"Well, the preliminary test is here, and next door is the professional QE real room, which can complete the basic roller, drop, static electricity, and slapping twelve tests, and the more professional ones are still to be sent to the Jinling Testing Center. ”

"Well, that's good, let's go check it out. ”

The testing room is much wider and less crowded, mainly composed of various testing instruments. Along the way, I saw that the workers did not stop their work. They only stop when they get close. Waiting to be questioned.

The detection technology content here is not high, but Xia Yu has nothing to ask, and after turning around, he waved his hand and walked out.

In fact, the specific production management and evaluation of this factory are guaranteed by Xu Jiahui. It shouldn't be a big problem.

He came here this time to see the basic situation. Including the level of production management in the workshop, the operation of the machine and equipment, and the mental outlook of the workers - the latter is a very important aspect. A certain amount of dù can reflect the real situation of this factory.

Judging from the previous situation, it is not bad.

After all, it also got a new order for its own A100, and it has undergone a round of intensive rectification.

Back to the meeting room. Xia Yucai and other talents began to listen to Liu Canbang's team make various formal introductions, and focused on asking questions one by one.

Management system, team building, good quality control and capacity improvement...... Liu Canbang was a little nervous and cautiously answered with the management of the factory.

Half an hour later, Xia Yu stopped, sketched in his notebook for a long time, and finally scored according to his own standards.

"Mr. Xia, do you see ......" Liu Canbang asked expectantly.

"Do our workers still work in three shifts?"

"Well, many factories in Pengcheng are like this. ”

"Adjust it from today and change it to the Polestar standard, I think there are still some vacancies, and you can expand the recruitment again to ensure that the production capacity does not decline, is this a big problem?"

Polestar Electronics' factories currently operate in two shifts, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., with 8.5 hours per shift. Moreover, most of them have been transferred to labor contracts, and the income consists of basic salary and performance salary, and the income will not be reduced and will not be too tiring, so it is quite popular.

"Well, it's not a big problem after the expansion...... Liu Canbang subconsciously replied, suddenly reacted, and said happily: "Mr. Xia, can our factory stay?"

"Yes, I will work hard Manager Liu in the future!"

"Great! Thank you Mr. Xia, thank you Chief Xu, on behalf of the 842 brothers and sisters in the factory, I promise to do a good job!"

……

After solving lunch in the factory canteen, Xia Yu and Xu Jiahui and his party withdrew first. On the way, the two continued to discuss Polestar's future plans for the factory.

"Uncle Xu, how is the work over there?"

This factory is going to stay, but the Wuxi one is not large and the equipment is old, so there is really nothing worth keeping. Xu Jiahui had already mentioned to Xia Yu that the construction had been approved, and the rectification and relocation work had already begun.

"Most managers are willing to come to headquarters, but not many workers are willing to come because most of them are locals. ”

"Well, there's no need to force this. ”

Xia Yu thought for a moment and asked what was in his heart: "Uncle Xu, what do you think Polestar should do in the future on the production side?"

Let's go?

There are just two kinds, one is to build self-built factories, such as TCL, Lenovo and other established companies, and the other is to retain a small number of high-end production capacity, mainly through the guò foundry to solve.

NJStar A100 has been on the market for four days, although the first day of fresh excitement has passed, but the sales in the next three days are also more than 30,000 units, and the total sales have exceeded 150,000 units, which directly shocked the Huaguo mobile phone industry.

According to this trend, NJStar mobile phones are bound to maintain high shipments in the future.

Xu Jiahui thought for a moment and replied: "I came out of the production line, so I naturally hope that our Polestar can ensure our own production capacity." It is convenient and worry-free to find an OEM, and the profit is indeed lower than the main business, but we had an old saying at that time called 'industry serves the country, industry prospers the country', I think an industrial company, production capacity can not be lost. ”

"Industry prospers the country......" Xia Yu smacked his words and didn't speak again for a while.

He hadn't thought that far before. It's just that in my previous life, after seeing the "suicide of Foxconn workers" and reports of various black-hearted factories, coupled with the rebirth of a reborn with a reverence for life, I really want to make the life of Polestar's workers as good as possible.

Not to go that far, maintaining production capacity is indeed an important direction for a hardware company to gain a firm foothold in the future.

Think about Intel, HP, IBM, and other IT hardware giants, which one doesn't have its own core factories all over the world? Look at Xiaomi, which has begun to be restricted everywhere at a certain stage of development......

"In this way, Uncle Xu, I want to separate the production department after moving to the new headquarters......" (To be continued......

PS: It's a bit unrestored...... Adjust the ...... as much as possible Thank you for your tips and monthly pass support, thank you!
