In Li Yifan's original memory, the scene inside this factory can be described as dilapidated.

When he took over the factory, there was not a single decent building in the factory, except for a few offices at the gate that could still live in it.

At that time, there were three old buildings with four or five stories at the entrance, and the appearance of the buildings was Soviet-style buildings in the fifties and sixties, which were the administrative office buildings of the original factory.

Those buildings are said to be in good condition, that is, because they still have roofs, and even the glass is not very complete, and there are not even a few sets of decent chairs in the offices inside, and the buildings are full of thick dust.

Further inside, there are a few production workshops, but some of those production workshops have even collapsed on the roof, and many of the production equipment inside have been directly dismantled by the workers and used to sell scrap iron.

There is only one of the workshops, which is well preserved, and there are several sets of production equipment that can be used, but most of the production equipment is old and unbearable, although the maintenance is good, but it is now taken out to engage in production, which will also seriously affect the production efficiency and quality.

But now when I come to this factory, it has only been about a year, but the whole factory has changed a lot.

Near the factory gates, there are three new buildings, each about 10 storeys high, the tallest of which is 16 storeys.

These are a few office buildings built by my brother-in-law's construction company, and although they are not needed now, they are all built. There is plenty of room for the expansion of the plant in the future.

This is also after Li Yifan discussed with his father and eldest brother-in-law. Stick to the idea.

In his opinion anyway. The construction company is also its own, and in these years, the cost of materials for manual vehicles is also very cheap, and it is always cheaper to build it now than if it is built in the future.

And he is very confident in this plant, in his mind, this special metal smelting company. In the future, it will definitely be able to become the leading special metal smelting company in China.

Therefore, it is better to leave enough space for future expansion as early as possible, so as not to waste time in construction in the future, and it may also affect production.

At the back of these three buildings, there are several beautiful new production workshops, the outside of the workshop is lined with chimneys, and the outside of the production workshop is surrounded by a lot of thick pipes, just from the outside. Just know that these are certainly the latest felony mills.

In order to build this factory, the Li family can be said to have spared no effort. It just so happened that my father had recently made a lot of money from both the Zhengyang Hotel and Phoenix Wine, and Red Lantern Dairy also provided a lot of help to the family.

It is precisely because of this that the family's capital chain has always been abundant, so when my father buys production equipment, he also spares no effort, either he doesn't buy it, and he buys the best if he wants to.

And because Heidi is helping in Europe, a lot of the smelting equipment they import from Europe is world-class, even if it cannot be said to be the world's top, it is also the level of special metal smelting that is absolutely the mainstream in the world.

And because of Heidi's help, the price is not expensive.

But although it is not expensive, it has also invested a lot of money, and some time ago I heard my father call and complained to himself, the price of these equipment is also expensive, although someone in Europe helps to negotiate the price, contact, but even so, it cost no less than a billion inside and out.

However, Li Yifan also comforted his father, so that his father didn't say anything more.

This heavy industry, especially when it comes to high-end heavy industry, is such a market, this industry, is a high-input, high-output, technology- and capital-intensive industry.

Such an industry is completely different from the labor-intensive, low-end manufacturing industry in the south.

Low-end manufacturing industries like the labor-intensive ones in the South rely on sweatshops, which are constantly squeezing the labor of workers, then reducing costs, making their products competitive, and then grabbing profits.

But their high-end manufacturing industry is different, don't look at your early investment, but because the products you can produce, not everyone can produce in China, with a high technical content, but also can break the European and American Japanese technology monopoly, so in the market, your competitors will not be particularly many.

But the amount is also not small, so the prospects of such an industry are very impressive, even if there is a financial crisis in the future, but with a big country like Huaguo, a big market to support, their industry, will not be too impacted.

Don't look at more than ten years later, many small and medium-sized enterprises in China, because of the impact of the financial crisis, and want to die, that is because they do not have their own core technology, can not produce the unique products required by the market, so they will collapse in one rush.

But on the other hand, how many of the companies that have their own unique skills can be washed away by such a financial crisis? Aren't they still living their lives, how are they supposed to live?

Especially after that, in order to save the economy, the country has engaged in infrastructure construction, iron public foundation and other projects, which are a large number of special metals for demanders.

Even after a few years, when the domestic manufacturing industry is struggling, those large state-owned enterprises are still not the same?

Relying on the special policies of the state, their lives are still chic, and they still have demand, as long as they have demand, then our factory will never be afraid of closure.

It is precisely because of this reason that Lao Li no longer suffers from pain, and begins to be willing to spend a lot of money on the construction of this factory.

In fact, the previous exchanges with those European experts also made him expand a lot of horizons, if he wants to make his family business bigger and stronger, he can't always be limited to the acre and three points of land in front of him, which is also his most profound experience.

Li Yifan drove into the factory, and as soon as he came to the front of the office building, he saw a few foreign devils walking out of the building.

And these people happen to be the Belgian expert group that my father passed last year, from Europe's colorless professional managers.

The leader was a tall and strong blonde man, this guy in his early fifties, who used to be the general manager of a metal smelting company in Switzerland, but because the salary here was high enough, so he was poached here.

The man's name was Theo. Toning, is a very honest Nordic man, mainly responsible for the operation and management of the factory, and several other people are his assistants, one of whom is a project engineer, and several specialized technicians, who are also from Europe, most of them are in the middle and senior management positions of the company.

However, there is only one position, this position is the company's marketing director, this person is a Chinese, after all, if you want to engage in steel trade business in China, you must find an insider who understands the truth in this circle.

Find a group of foreigners to come over, then you can only look for death.

And this marketing director was found by my father from Puhai, and it was also from the information posted on the recruitment website established by Li Yifan and Wang Teng, and then he found people.

This guy's surname is Feng, his name is Feng Yuanliang, he used to do this business in Puhai, he worked for Baosteel in the early days, and later pulled out to work alone, and he had a brilliant few years, but later because of disputes with others, he was forced to be unable to mix in Puhai, so he came to their house to apply.

Dad also saw that people still had some ability, so he left him behind.

Li Yifan appeared in front of everyone, and he knew everyone, and then accompanied by several people, he inspected the factory.

Most of the workers in the factory are newly recruited, and according to Theo's idea, most of the people recruited are experienced workers or college graduates.

It seems that Theo wants to introduce the special high-quality worker training system in Western Europe into China, although in this case, the cost of talent training will be relatively high, but Li Yifan does not object to him doing this.

You must know that the reason why Western Europe's science and technology are developed, especially the manufacturing industry, depends on their special industrial worker training system, and the Germans have done this particularly well.

Several other Western and Northern European countries are also deeply influenced by the Germans, and they have their own set of training industrial skilled workers, and Li Yifan also appreciates their set very much.

After all, if you have such a system, it is equivalent to opening up the upward channel for the workers, so that the workers' positions can be attractive.

In recent years, what we have lacked most in China is such professional industrial workers, and after more than ten years, the gap will be even greater, and even if many factories offer high salaries, they still can't recruit people.

Many young people are reluctant to work as workers, why?

Just because the society is full of discrimination against workers, and the management mechanism and system of our factory cannot leave enough room and channel for workers to rise, even if you get the eighth level of fitter, but you are still a worker, still a blue-collar worker, and still not fully respected, which is the main reason why young people are unwilling to engage in such work.

And if we can learn from the Europeans and their worker training system, this will certainly help us in the future industrial development.

Along the way, Theo and the others introduced Li Yifan without listening, and Li Yifan was also very happy to listen, but he didn't expect his father to be quite discerning, and it was really good to find these people...... (To be continued......)
