Chapter 33 National Trade Fair
Zhou Jianping promised to reconsider, but in order to make Chang Yuling happy, the twenty people on the list had already been notified, how could they return them?
In addition, Zhou Jianping knew that Yuling wanted to save face, what she meant was that if there were good things, she couldn't forget her mother's family, after all, her mother's family did help them a lot, in fact, Yuling only had one brother, who was about the same age as Zhou Jianwen, but he took over his old father's class two years ago, and the next few younger sisters were still young.
At about ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the courtyard of Zhou Jianliang's house, the twenty people on the list, plus Zhou Jianwen, were all present, half of them Zhou Jianping was not familiar with, he stood on the steps, took out the list, and first named to get to know each other. To the point of not knowing, Zhou Jianping asked the other party to introduce himself in terms of his age, family status, marriage, education level, etc., although this work must be done in the factory registration, but Zhou Jianping wanted to have a preliminary impression of recruiting these people.
Subsequently, Zhou Jianping also briefly explained the nature of the work, requirements and precautions to these people, so that they could go home and report to their families, so as not to worry about their families. In the end, Zhou Jianping told everyone that two days later, he would take his luggage, bedding and supplies to the Huaxing City long-distance bus station, and he would personally pick them up there.
After lunch, Yuling rode a bicycle to the long-distance bus station in Dongshan Township as usual, and the two said a few lingering words, because the family was too busy, and Yuling went home without waiting for Jianping to get on the bus.
At about 11 o'clock in the morning of the third day, Zhou Jianping took Hu Guolin, the director of the workshop, to pick up people at Huaxing long-distance bus station, and waited for less than ten minutes.
Leaving the exit of the station, on the way to the bus station, Zhou Jianping pointed to Hu Guolin and introduced to the fellow villagers behind him: "Everyone, pay attention, this is Hu Guolin, the workshop director of our factory, you can call him Director Hu or the director." Guolin, they are all villagers in my hometown, and I asked the village chief to deliberately select people who are more honest and clever, and can bear hardships and stand hard work. ”
"Factory director, in fact, the work of our workshop is not much hard and tiring, I think the workshop work is much easier than the farm work in the village, it is all about operating machines, there is no need to put in much effort, as long as you are diligent and willing to use your brains to do it well." Hu Guolin's words were actually said to these new employees behind him.
After getting off the No. 2 bus and walking for ten minutes to Jiansheng Food Factory, Zhou Jianping has arranged for personnel to clean up a former raw material warehouse in advance and use it as a collective dormitory for these new employees. After putting down their luggage, Hu Guolin took them to the staff canteen for lunch.
The staple food of lunch is no different from every day, these villagers from Yuanba Village, obviously feel that the life here is much stronger than at home, the staple food steamed bread and rice are enough, although the non-staple food is the popular dishes such as potatoes and celery, but in their hometown, most of them, except for summer, there are basically no vegetables to eat in other seasons, and pickles are the non-staple food of three meals a day.
According to Zhou Jianping's instructions, Hu Guolin told the new employees that the factory subsidizes lunch, and each person only charges a symbolic dime, but the morning and evening meals are charged according to the cost, which is to reflect fairness, because workers in the city do not eat breakfast and evening meals in the factory.
According to Zhou Jianping's requirements, from the next day, new employees will enter the workshop to observe the operation process, Hu Guolin gave everyone work clothes, and explained to them the precautions on the production site, especially emphasizing personal hygiene.
After observing for a week, Zhou Jianping asked Hu Guolin what his impression of these people was, "It's very real, most of them are also very clever, and as for the speed of learning, everyone must be different." Hu Guolin said.
"Don't treat them as my fellow countrymen, they are just your employees, you have to manage them strictly, no matter who they are, they are the same."
Zhou Jianping obviously meant when he said this, Hu Guolin was a smart person, and he could know that Zhou Jianwen was his brother from his name and appearance, but he didn't want Jianwen to be anything special, let alone receive any care or preferential treatment.
Ten days later, Hu Guolin mixed the new and old workers, and the two teams accounted for half of the new and old workers, and the workshop began the production mode of two production lines with full operation. Before the new employees fully grasped the operation method, Zhou Jianping asked the workshop to train the newcomers, and did not put forward the output index for the team, but the product quality must be guaranteed.
After three weeks of operation, through the assessment, Zhou Jianping believes that the new employees have been fully able to work, and in the case that there is no gap between the new and old employees, he asked for the output to be set for the team.
Zhou Jianping transplanted the management methods of the subsidiary company of Huaxing Light Industry Machinery Factory, and formulated a set of systematic management methods for the production workshop after slightly modifying the specific situation of the food factory, including quality, output, reward and punishment regulations, labor discipline, production environment, personal hygiene, job responsibility, and so on.
Through long-term observation, Zhou Jianping believes that Hu Guolin is a loyal and firm executor, and now that he has systematic management measures, he will completely hand over production to Hu Guolin, and Zhou Jianping can devote his energy to product sales and market development.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the National Food Ordering Fair was approaching, and Zhou Jianping contacted Manager Yang of Guangming Shopping Mall, "I was looking for you, we should book tickets." Old Yang said.
"Oh, please tell me which day I should buy a ticket, and I'll buy it."
"Tickets to this southern city are very tight, and you may not be able to buy them at the station ticket office. In this case, I'll find an acquaintance, and you won't have to worry about it. ”
"Thank you, Manager Yang."
......
This is a national food ordering fair in the second half of the year, on the opening day, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Jianping followed Lao Yang into the venue, good guys, such a scene is too shocking! The main venue is located in a dome hall with a length and width of dozens of meters, and there are huge exhibition halls on the left and right sides of the hall, Lao Yang told Zhou Jianping that the opening ceremony of this point has ended, and then it is the mutual exchange between merchants, and the purpose of this order fair is mainly to provide a place for mutual communication between food production and sales merchants across the country.
In the main venue, there were crowds of people, the water was impassable, and the crowd of people who came and went stopped in front of the booths to ask, and at twelve o'clock at noon, Lao Yang and Zhou Jianping had not yet turned out of the main venue.
After a brief lunch, the two decided to go around the exhibition hall on the left in the afternoon, and only when they went in did they know that the exhibition hall on this side was larger than the main venue! It took a whole afternoon to finally finish the exhibition hall on the left.
The next day, Lao Yang was going to find his old friend, three days of meeting, and the next two days, Zhou Jianping went to the venue alone to watch, which made him more comfortable, and when he met what he wanted to see, he could take a few more looks, and if he needed to ask, he could ask in more detail, and he didn't have to worry about delaying Lao Yang's time. After visiting the exhibition hall on the right, Zhou Jianping decided to go back to the main venue and the exhibition hall on the left.
In the main venue and the left and right two exhibition halls, Zhou Jianping took the initiative to contact all kinds of merchants, the "Jiansheng brand" products to the outside of the promotion, and the food wholesale stations and distributors across the country to establish extensive contact, the last half a day, Zhou Jianping took time to understand the new technology of food production, new equipment and new products, but also brought back a lot of technical information.
Back at the unit, Zhou Jianping analyzed the merchants contacted at the order meeting, screened out several larger food wholesale units, and he planned to visit door to door with samples in one go.
When he came to a food wholesale company in a provincial capital city in another province, Zhou Jianping wanted to find the manager Kong who had contacted him at the order meeting, and it turned out that this manager Kong was the company's deputy manager in charge of biscuits and pastries.
At the gate of the company, Zhou Jianping explained his intention and showed a letter of introduction stamped with the official seal of Jiansheng Food Factory, and after registration, the doorman told him that Manager Kong's office was in the third room on the right side of the second floor.
According to the doorman's guidance, Zhou Jianping easily found the third office on the right side of the second floor, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, and the sound of "please come in" came from the room.
Zhou Jianping gently pushed open the door, "May I ask if this is Manager Kong's office?" In fact, Zhou Jianping recognized that the middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old and tall and thin sitting at the desk was the manager Kong he saw at the order meeting.
"I am, may I ask you ----?" Manager Kong seemed to feel that the young man at the door was also a little familiar, but he was not sure, although it had only been less than ten days, after all, he was a leader, and the nobles were so forgetful.
"Manager Kong, I'm Zhou Jianping from Jiansheng Food Factory in Huaxing City, H Province, and we met at the National Food Ordering Conference a few days ago."
"Oh, I think about it, no wonder it's a little familiar, please come in."
The office is not big, and after Zhou Jianping entered the room, Manager Kong beckoned him to sit down on a wooden chair near the filing cabinet and poured him a glass of water. "Director Zhou is very efficient, he just returned to the unit from the national order fair, and he went on a business trip non-stop, he was still young and energetic, and he couldn't do it at my age, and he felt very tired from continuous business trips, and his body couldn't bear it at all."
"Yes, I'm young, and no one would be tired when I'm older." Zhou Jianping said.
"Director Zhou, may I ask ----? you are looking for me?"
"Oh, Manager Kong, we have been in contact at the national order meeting, I remember that there was a small intention at that time, this time I came to visit, mainly to send samples of our products, and asked Manager Kong to give some advice to Jiansheng brand food." Zhou Jianping took out a beautiful box from his bag and put his hands on the table in front of Manager Kong.
"Well, there is such a thing, I didn't expect Director Zhou to be so resolute, and now I will send samples."
"It's part of the sales job, opportunities don't wait for anyone, and if you slow down, maybe the opportunity that is coming your way will slip away."
"It's true that seizing opportunities is an important means of sales work, but I just returned to the unit, and I haven't had time to study the order in detail." Manager Kong's meaning seems to be that Zhou Jianping came a little early, but when you determine the order unit, is it still useful to come back at that time?
Could it be that the verbal intention reached at the order meeting does not count, and it has to be studied by the unit? According to Manager Yang of Guangming Shopping Mall, the people who participate in the national order meeting are the department heads of the units, and they have the right to decide, and the leaders of the units generally do not care about the orders of various departments, "Manager Kong, I mainly came to see you, and by the way, I sent the samples, and the order is not in a hurry." ”
"Okay, it's almost time to get off work at noon, and we'll talk about your business later."
