Chapter 1141: Expanding production capacity
There was no pressure on Song Lei at all, and Xiao Chili immediately said to Xiao Ping: "Xu Jia wants to open a martial arts gym, but she can't come up with so much money, so she wants you to invest some." Okay, give me a good word!"
Song Lei's words made Xiao Ping laugh dumbly, and immediately agreed without hesitation: "So that's it, no problem, wrap it up on me!"
Seeing that Xiao Ping agreed without thinking about it, Song Lei said to Xu Jia proudly: "Jiajia, look, I said that he will definitely agree! Although this person is a big carrot, he is still good to us!"
Hearing Song Lei call herself a "big carrot", Xiao Ping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He was keenly aware that he couldn't let this topic continue, so he hurriedly turned to ask Xu Jia: "By the way, have you decided where to open the martial arts hall?"
"Not yet. Xu Jia shook his head lightly and said, "I think it's best to be in a more lively area in a big city, so that there will be more students." Other than that...... Don't be too far away from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, I still like the climate in Jiangnan. ”
When it came to the second request, Xu Jia's expression was also a little unnatural. Although she ostensibly likes the climate in Jiangnan, everyone can see that Xu Jia just doesn't want to be too far away from Xiao Ping.
Xiao Ping was moved in his heart, but he didn't show it in order not to embarrass Xu Jia. He just thought for a moment, and then said to Xu Jia: "What do you think of Shencheng? The big city, not far from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, completely meets your requirements!"
Xu Jia frowned and said: "Shencheng is really good, but the housing prices there are too high, I'm afraid of ......."
"Don't worry about money, I'll solve it!" Seeing that Xu Jia was quite satisfied with Shen Cheng. Xiao Ping immediately took a big bag and said: "It's almost the Spring Festival now, and it's too hasty to find a house now." So be it. After the festival, I will accompany you to Shencheng to find a suitable house!"
Since Xiao Ping said so. Xu Jia would not object, and nodded in agreement with his arrangement.
Seeing that Xiao Ping and Xu Jia had made up their minds, Song Lei also got up and said, "Okay, Mei'er and I should also leave, and we have to rush back to shoot a few shots, the whole crew is waiting, we can't delay for too long." ”
Xu Jia also followed: "I have to go back to the capital and deal with the houses there or something." ”
Song Lei smiled at Xu Jia and said, "Okay, let's go back to the provincial capital together." Then you go to the capital, we go to Los Angeles!"
Seeing that Song Lei and the others were about to leave, Xiao Ping couldn't help but complain: "Hey, what's wrong with you, you all leave by yourself, what's the matter!"
"Lord, although Mei'er really wants to spend a little more time with you, but this is something that we all discussed, and I can only do this!" Hu Mei smiled charmingly at Xiao Ping, and then left with Song Lei and Xu Jia.
"There are more women. Sure enough, it's trouble. Looking at the empty room, Xiao Ping couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Although he was a little baffled by the actions of his confidants, Xiao Ping didn't dwell too much on this matter. Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, as the owner of the fairy pot company. Xiao Ping also has a lot of things to deal with. So he returned to Sioux City on the same day and devoted himself to his work.
As a boss who is accustomed to being a hands-off shopkeeper, Xiao Ping has been working on improving the company's structure this year. In other words, the company doesn't have him now. There is no problem at all in maintaining daily operations. As for some major decisions, of course, Xiao Ping still needs to make decisions personally. As long as he keeps in touch with a few department heads, he can fully grasp the company's movements.
But when the Spring Festival is coming. As usual, Xiao Ping had to inspect several branches of the company in China. In addition to being regarded as a year-end inspection, another important purpose is to give red envelopes to employees.
This is already a tradition of the fairy pot company, so everyone waits eagerly for Xiao Ping to come at this time of year. For a private company, it is also rare for front-line employees to look forward to the boss to inspect the company.
Xiao Ping spent a few days inspecting the company's branches in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and surrounding areas. These include the head office in Su City, Xianhu Farm and Goose Farm, the overseas business department in Shencheng, the seed and grain seed base in Wuxi City, and the oral liquid factory in the provincial high-tech park.
In the past year, the fairy pot company has developed rapidly, and its profits have naturally risen. Therefore, whenever Xiao Ping goes to a place, he will give red envelopes to employees as a reward.
According to the different positions, working years and usual performance of employees, red envelopes are naturally large and small, but in general, the rewards are still very generous.
In addition, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and everyone is in a good mood. So no matter where Xiao Ping went, he saw a joyful scene. Everyone had a festive smile on their faces, which made him feel good when he saw it.
However, when he arrived at the oral liquid factory, Xiao Ping found that the factory director Li Weiguo's face was full of worry, which was completely different from the joyful appearance of others.
Xiao Ping attached great importance to this reliable and responsible old factory director, so he asked him with great concern: "Director Li, why do you look sullen? Is there not enough raw materials? I remember that a batch was just shipped a few days ago!"
Li Weiguo shook his head at Xiao Ping with a wry smile, and sighed with deep feeling: "Mr. Xiao, what your boss has done is really ...... It's so easy, I really don't care about our factory at all!"
"Director Li, what you said is biased. Xiao Ping said with a smile: "It's not that I don't care, I just trust you." With you in the factory, I don't have to worry about it at all!"
Li Weiguo is not a person who can speak well, and he is doomed to lose a verbal battle with Xiao Ping. He shook his head helplessly, and then said to Xiao Ping: "Worried that the raw materials are not enough, it is the old yellow calendar, and the problem facing the factory now is not that the raw materials are insufficient, but that the production capacity cannot keep up!"
Hearing Li Weiguo say this, Xiao Ping remembered. Ever since the Demon Refining Pot devoured the jade pendant it had gotten from the Russian Black Hand Party, the efficiency of producing herbs and spiritual liquids had greatly increased. No wonder Li Weiguo said that the era of insufficient raw materials has passed, and the current problem has become insufficient production capacity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, and secretly sighed that he really didn't care enough about the oral liquid factory. Of course, he would not admit this in front of Li Weiguo, but quickly asked with a smile: "How big is the gap between raw materials and production capacity now? If the production line is allowed to rotate 24 hours a day, can all the raw materials be digested?"
Since the production capacity is insufficient, it is normal to extend the working hours, and the method proposed by Xiao Ping is also normal. Of course, factories also have to recruit more workers and therefore bear more expenses. However, in terms of the huge profits of health oral liquid, the increased expenses are not a problem at all.
However, Li Weiguo frowned and said: "We have already implemented this method, and now the two production lines are rotating in three shifts, and some people are working overtime even on holidays." But even so, the production capacity is still far from keeping up with the speed at which you can provide raw materials!"
Xiao Ping muttered: "If this is the case, then there is only one way to increase the production line." ”
"That's what I mean!" Li Weiguo nodded again and again: "I have calculated the relationship between the supply of raw materials and the production capacity, even if three more production lines are added, the production capacity can only be just equal to the supply of raw materials!"
Li Weiguo's surprised Xiao Ping. Although he already knew that the supply of raw materials in the Dao had indeed increased, he did not expect it to increase so much. Now that the supply of raw materials is more than double the production capacity, it is no wonder that Li Weiguo is worried. It is impossible to be happy when you change the director of a responsible factory and see that the raw materials are gradually piling up in the warehouse, but there is not enough capacity to convert them into profits.
However, this incident also resurfaced an idea that had been hidden in Xiao Ping's heart for a long time, that is, the plan to enter the skin care market. It is said that women and children make the best money, and as long as there is a satisfactory effect, the profit of the skin care product market is likely to be higher than that of the health care product market.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping quickly made a decision and said to Li Weiguo seriously: "Director Li, I also support your plan to buy a new production line, but three is impossible, and at most two more production lines can be added." ”
"Only two?" Li Weiguo said with some disappointment: "But the production capacity of two is still not enough, and there is no way to digest all the raw materials!"
Xiao Ping said: "In the future, I will provide enough raw materials for the production of the four strips, and as for the extra ones, I have other uses." ”
Since the boss has made a decision, Li Weiguo naturally doesn't have to say anything. It's just that judging from his expression, he is still a little dissatisfied with Xiao Ping's arrangement.
Xiao Ping saw Li Weiguo's reaction in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Director Li, I know that you want to expand production capacity as much as possible, and create some benefits for the company." However, our health oral liquid has always taken the high-quality route, so it must not be like other big road goods, we will produce as much as the market needs, which will damage our brand image. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Ping paused slightly, let Li Weiguo digest his words, and then continued: "It is common for a high-end brand like ours to control the supply volume. To tell you the truth, I don't plan to sell the oral liquid produced by the two additional production lines in China, but to promote it to overseas markets, and we will make foreigners' money if we want to make it. ”
Hearing Xiao Ping say such a big call, Li Weiguo gradually understood, nodded thoughtfully: "Boss, you are right, it is indeed such a reason!"
Xiao Ping said with a smile: "It must be too late before the Spring Festival, and after the New Year, I will ask Manager Zhong of the head office to negotiate with the German manufacturer to install the two production lines in place as soon as possible and put them into production as soon as possible!"
Li Weiguo also assured Xiao Ping: "As long as the production line is installed in place, I guarantee that the production capacity will be formed within a week and officially put into production!" (to be continued......)
