Chapter 181: Consolidation

“…… Sure enough, unlike a simple account audit, my poor, experienced subordinates were busy for a month and a half, and they didn't understand the general situation of Ye's workshop, and my father asked me to take over the financial management, which was no problem, but this job." Ye Tao rarely saw Tan Weixin's sad face, but now it is.

"What's wrong?" Ye Tao sat next to Tan Weixin, gently hugged her, and asked.

"The core of Ye's Workshop, which is completely involved in any other aspects, is probably only the Yicheng headquarters of Ye's Workshop, part of the Danyang branch, and now a small part of the Yunzhou branch. The rest are more or less joint ventures, cooperation, project cooperation, and even some projects, which seem to be funded and supported by you, which is very similar to venture capital, but limited to the technology field. There are also many cooperation projects with the Ministry of War, the Forbidden Army, the Blood Qi Army, etc., as well as several elite legions that are now under construction...... These are the accounts that I have not looked at when I audited and consulted with Deloitte. The funds circulating in these projects are not much, but there is no clear accounting standard for the flow of manpower and material resources occupied. …… The most terrifying thing is that the common accounting standards of Yip's Workshop and projects and groups with different relationships are different. …… Shi Wei was already driven crazy by these things. In addition, there is no way to estimate the value of the various technologies mastered by Yip's Workshop at this time. Sophie showed me something even more terrifying. …… If you were to ask me to give a huge number to satisfy your vanity, I'm afraid I really can't satisfy it. At least not yet. ”

"What a pity. But I really can't figure out what the total assets are, and no one can figure it out. Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "The problem now is that no one can figure it out, and no one can control it, so I thought of letting you take over and find a way to figure out such a big mess." You just have to get the rectification plan out. As for the implementation. It won't make it hard for you. ”

Tan Weixin sneered: "I'm really not afraid of anything difficult to do." Isn't it just that I'm afraid of offending people, and I don't want to think about who I am. Do you really want to take over the business? ”

Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders again, he almost forgot that Tan Weixin was still a princess.

Tan Weixin buried her head in the account for most of the day before she said, "That's it." After all, Ye's Workshop is a technology-centered enterprise organization, and when carrying out rectification, it also refers to the technical level standards. The core structure of the Ye family's workshop remains unchanged, and naturally it is directly controlled by the Ye family's father, son, soldiers, and brothers, and no one else can interfere. Other items. It is divided into different levels and changes are carried out in different ways. I think that in recent years, the technology of Ye's Workshop has become more and more exaggerated, and some of the technologies that are not important in the corners and corners will be sold out and the income of the project will be settled at one time? Although those collaborators may not be able to come up with the money at once, many of them have approached you for help out of friendship, but I can get Deloitte to vouch for them. It will neither increase the payment pressure on those small collaborators, nor will it make Ye suffer. As for the various other projects, I have a preliminary idea......"

Tan Weixin suggested that the many projects of Yip's Workshop that have other aspects of capital or manpower in them should be divided into several categories. One is that Yip's must master the core technology and must have sufficient control over the industry, such as Tissot Watch Company. One is that Yip's can continue to provide various technical support. But in other areas, it has only maintained limited attention, such as the Jingdezhen business, which Ye has never seriously considered the business side. In addition, it is possible to consider the original shareholding separately from the future procurement, and the shareholding is only used as a link to maintain a strategic partnership, such as many cooperation with FedEx. For example, in Danyang, which is extremely prosperous, for example, it is completely a local business of chain restaurants dragged down by Tan Weixin, and this kind of business, under the right conditions, can consider transferring shares. And those various projects that continue to occur because Ye Tao played a role in technical consulting in Kyushu Trading Company and Seven Seas Trading Company at the same time, except for some that can be considered to be carried out by way of sellout, the rest are all classified to a technical consulting agency called Ye's Workshop Tiangongxing, and technical consultation and service are a fee. The subsequent purchase of Yip's Workshop was another matter. Separating the two avoids the situation that has already begun to arise in exchange for a partnership that is not very necessary to get a better discount on some of the products produced by Yip's Workshop.

If possible, it is best to merge the construction departments of Dai's Construction Bank and Yip's Workshop as soon as possible, anyway, sooner or later. In this way, internal resources can be effectively integrated to form a stronger and more powerful construction department, which has the ability to solve all problems from exploration, site selection, design, construction to interior design, home furnishings, garden vegetation planting, etc. And in terms of concrete design. There are also enough manpower to divide into teams in different directions such as civil architecture and gardens, military forts, urban planning and municipal engineering.

The core of Yip's Workshop is still production and R&D. The original structure of Yip's Workshop was a combination of production, R&D and training. Although such a system is not the best configuration in terms of efficiency, it allows those who are talented to be at any level. can give full play to their ingenuity. It is still a feudal era, far from the era of big factories and big production, and efficiency is on the throne. This system sacrifices some efficiency, but allows technology to develop very benignly. Moreover, even the overall efficiency of Yip's Workshop now, the assembly line and semi-assembly line operation methods that have been implemented since the establishment of the Workshop, have made the production efficiency of Yip's Workshop much ahead of this era. In this regard, Tan Weixin's suggestion is to further optimize internally.

For example, a production coordination department is set up to carry out the procurement, warehousing and transportation of various materials and tools in a unified manner, and to reasonably allocate the production capacity of the workshop and formulate a reasonable production plan. Since the current means of communication cannot reach the unified management of different places, the Ye father and son and several brothers can only give a general strategy for the current two workshops and the next three workshops, and coordinate, and the three places must set up production coordination departments.

In addition, the training system of Yip's Workshop, which has become more and more famous over the years, needs to be greatly overhauled. Originally, even if Yip's Workshop received paid training from outsiders, it was exactly the same as training apprentices by itself. In the early days, there was no restriction on majors, and most of them were allocated according to which workshops needed more manpower at that time. However, as the technology of Ye's Workshop becomes more and more in-depth and specialized, according to the original standards, an apprentice needs to learn more and more content to be promoted to a student and a technician, and it takes more and more time. As for the external training, although because Ye's workshop has long been strong to the point of bullying customers. Other workshops sent people or something, basically waiting for Ye's workshop to say that they could be put back, except for some short training courses held by several directors on a whim, no one dared to be picky about the time, in fact, the efficiency of the training was still low. But among the apprentices who were sent to other families in the land, there were also talented people, but in the system of the Ye family's workshop, even if it was only two years. Those who are really talented and have brains are also likely to have access to some of the secrets of the Ye Clan's workshop.

Tan Weixin felt that there was a lot of room for improvement in this situation, and she might as well adjust it to such a situation that apprentices could do chores in different workshops and learn some basic skills in three months to half a year before entering Yip's Workshop. The environment and atmosphere that could not be integrated into the Ye Workshop at all were naturally eliminated. The rest of the apprentices have to choose a direction to develop, after all, Ye's Workshop is no longer the original woodwork-based, but also has some other aspects of parts production, but a comprehensive entity that covers almost all types of manufacturing in this time and space. It is impossible for an apprentice to master everything. The training in the field is specialized, and the apprentices from outside are no longer used on the same level as the apprentices recruited by the Ye family themselves. Trainees from outside the country start with the host who sent them to decide how far they want to train, and then go through basic tests to determine their technical starting level. Tan Weixin even suggested that carpentry, carving, lacquerwork, rough metalworking, fine metalworking, masonry, construction, dyeing and finishing, papermaking and even project management and other disciplines should be classified into categories, and the technical standards for each category and each stage should be formulated. Internally, salary and personnel management can be regulated by different technical levels, and technical levels and job titles. The same is the honor of a craftsman; Externally, such a technical level can be used as the basis for training, not only as the basis for training requirements, but also as the basis for charging. During the training period of the trainees, about half of the time is spent on improving various hard technical indicators, and half of the time is spent in the workshop. According to the current popularity and influence of Ye's Workshop, this set of technical grades is likely to become the world's common assessment standards and employment standards.

According to the big framework of Tan Weixin, there may be the only project that has not been classified. It's the Hobundo bookstore. Hobundo Bookstore is already the most technologically advanced printing institution of this era. There is already a relatively complete etching plate-making and metal movable type typesetting system. hot glue binding technology and so on. No matter what the previous ones said, Ye Tao had never realized how much money was saved by movable type printing. Except for the recent publication of a best-selling academic journal such as "Historical Research", the Baowentang Bookstore has hardly made any money, and has been living on a large subsidy from the internal government. The technology of Baowentang Bookstore has only been built with a large amount of money, and it has only just reached a relatively good level, and it can just start to recover the cost in the early stage. Even now, the biggest cost is not plate making and ink, and the cost of plate making really can't be reduced, because the cost of those etchings can't be reduced. In this era, the cost of a pattern that integrates a variety of art elements is high. The cost of these technical aspects will eventually go down, but the cost of paper will always be a problem. In particular, except for a small number of books, Baowentang Bookstore insists on using the paper produced by Yip's Workshop because it has better thickness, hardness and flexibility to adapt to hot glue binding.

What Tan Weixin means is that the current technical level of Baowentang Bookstore is already very acceptable. But the true power of Baowentang has not yet been used. It is no longer printing, but the ability to carry out propaganda backed by powerful printing. Ye Tao's actions in the Road and Bridge Division of Yunzhou Jinglufu have made the top management of Dongping realize the power of multi-channel propaganda with the same voice and the same image, while Tan Xiaopei, Tan Weiming, and Tan Weiran, who can access the whole picture of Ye Tao's layout on the Thunder Yin Demon Sect, understand the power of thought and propaganda better. And this power, Tan Weixin carefully decided, to hold it in her own hands. Although propaganda and printing are not equated, it is still more reassuring to have Baowentang in your own hands.

When Tan Weixin first started to say his thoughts, Ye Tao was just listening, but when he found that Tan Weixin's plan was really quite detailed and grandiose, he simply asked Zhao Dazhu and others to listen to it together. Zhao Dazhu is not good at management, but in Ye's workshop, it is precisely the technicians who hold the power. Wei Zhi, the accountant of Ye Mansion, who was also invited, was the first IKEA store manager, Jian Datong, who is still mainly responsible for the sales of civilian products, naturally, and one of Ye Tao's fathers-in-law: Dai Yuege.

When everyone listened to Tan Weixin's plan, everyone except Dai Yuege looked at each other, not knowing how to react. Dai Yuege knew from the beginning that Dai's Construction Bank would sooner or later be merged into Ye's Workshop. Now, it is obvious that his daughter and Her Royal Highness the princess get along very well, and there is no need for him to use the construction bank as a bargaining chip for his daughter, not to mention that in front of Tan Weixin, who can almost be called the "god of business" in this era, I am afraid there is nothing that can be regarded as a bargaining chip. After the merger of the construction department of Yip's Workshop and Dai's Construction Bank, Dai Yuek Court was still in charge of this much stronger and more comprehensive institution.

But those rectifications in other areas are really ...... It's so complicated that people can't understand it quickly. But in the final analysis, the whole rectification is to standardize and optimize the internal process, in the case of maintaining the technical advantages and technological development speed of the Ye Workshop, the internal is divided into different professional directions, and each department will have a person in charge to coordinate.
