At the end of Shouyi Street, the new factory area of Xinghua Company surrounded by a brick wall on the right side of the street is very conspicuous, and the factory area along the street is divided into 6 relative reading areas, each with relative reading power, and a large part of the wall along the side of the street is replaced by tall and spacious stores. The imposing buildings of the new factory are in stark contrast to the relatively low-rise factories and workshops on Shouyi Street, as if they were more than ten years apart.

In the middle of the new plant, a 20-meter-wide avenue goes east through the factory area to the Zhengtai Railway, such a wide avenue in most streets, the width of the main road is only six or seven meters in Taiyuan is very abrupt, but also very bold, this avenue is used to be named by the Taiyuan citizens who are used to the topography of the Taiyuan people directly named the big straight road.

Although it is outside the city, it is not inferior to the bell tower street in the city, but the people who come and go here are basically traders and porters from the south to the north. Another feature here is that there are many cars, not only large trucks, but also many trucks, which come and go in various factories and workshops. In particular, there are more vehicles in Xinghua Company's flour mills, printing and dyeing factories, textile factories, and pharmaceutical factories, and as soon as Song Zhewu and his party arrived at the printing and dyeing factory, more than a dozen trucks drove out of the factory and turned to the big straight road in the south to drive to the east.

Sun Jiahui told Song Zhewu that this is a big merchant outside the province, and they purchased a large amount at a time, and after loading the finished product warehouse directly, they were transported to the station in the east, transported to Shijiazhuang by Zhengtai Railway, and then transported to various places by Beijing-Pudong Railway and Pinghan Road.

There are also constant merchants in the street stores who make smaller purchases, directing the porters to carry bundles of colored cloth onto carts and cars parked on the streetside. Sun Jiahui said: "Chairman, there is no retail here, only small comprehensive wholesale, these are small merchants in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and neighboring provinces, their purchase volume is not very large, are about dozens to 100 pieces. Such small batches are placed here for delivery, and the vehicles and porters are taken care of by themselves. ”

Since Song Zhewu gave Sun Jiahui one percent of Xinghua's dry shares, Sun Jiahui no longer called Song Zhewu as before, but changed his name to chairman. Sun Jiahui is sincerely grateful to Song Zhewu, although he has worked hard for the Song family for two generations of the Song family over the years, and is fully qualified to call Song Zhewu the word.

Seeing this new factory, Song Zhewu couldn't help but resounded about the development zones in his previous life, and the factories in those development zones would not have any large and small comprehensive goods for sale, and all the buyers were gods. But now after all, it is the Republic of China, and there is still a big difference in concept. Song Zhewu didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Very good!" ”

Although most of the company's factories have moved to Taiyuan, Li Rujuan, the general manager, is still in Laiyuan, not that Li Rujuan is unwilling to come, but considering the special surname of the relationship between Song Zhewu and Yan Xishan, Xiao Guodong resolutely disagrees with Li Rujuan to come to Taiyuan, the reason is that he does not want Yan Xishan to have Li Rujuan as a hostage, and let Song Zhewu act tiedly when the time comes. Therefore, now Taiyuan is in charge of Sun Jiahui, the deputy general manager.

According to the plan, the Xinghua headquarters building was to be built here, although it was only five floors, but because Song Zhewu insisted on building as strong as possible, the whole building was a reinforced concrete structure, which was not only costly, but also took a long time to build, so that the factory was started and the headquarters building began to finish. Now, Sun Jiahui and the staff of a cadre company are still working in the printing and dyeing factory.

There is a smaller gate at a distance of more than 20 meters next to the gate of the printing and dyeing factory, and when you enter from this gate, it is a courtyard that is spaced out, and there is a small gate to communicate with the factory. The courtyard is large, but not empty, and in front is a small two-story cement building, which is a place for office, reception of guests, and business negotiations. There is a flower bed pond in front of the building, and the trees are planted on both sides, if it were not for the faint sound of people and car motors coming from the factory area, it would be very much like a residential courtyard.

"Manager Sun, the design here is good and tasteful." Song Zhewu said appreciatively.

"I didn't design it, I designed it all according to Miss Li's intention to find someone in Tianjin. She said, 'If we want to become the largest company in China and even famous in the world, we must pay attention to the company's image from now on, have our own culture and characteristics, and not be like the small workshops that can produce as long as they can produce in the past. ”

Song Zhewu agreed with Li Rujuan's idea, and with Song Zhewu's knowledge in his previous life, it was impossible for Xinghua not to become a world-class large company, at least in the chemical field, and it would never lose to DuPont in the United States. Under his guidance, Wang Mingyang developed polyamide synthetic fibers, that is, nylon, last year, and according to the historical track, the industrial production of nylon will not begin until 39 years. Moreover, a series of polyamide synthetic fibers have been successfully developed, such as nylon-66, nylon-6, nylon-3 and nylon-4 and other new polyamide fibers.

In particular, nylon-3 and nylon-4 have the characteristics of light weight, excellent anti-wrinkle, good breathability, and good durability, dyeing and heat setting. Of course, Song Zhewu knows the use and significance of nylon, at least his stockings raw materials, he has not only asked his eldest brother to apply for patents in the United States and Europe and other countries, but also designed a series of related equipment such as wire drawing and socks with Wang Mingyang according to his memory, and the drawings have been sent to the United States before going to Manchuria last year, and it is estimated that the manufacturing equipment will be shipped back soon. Just one stocking will bring Xinghua a lot of money.

His Xinghua will continue to introduce new products that are ahead of the world, and it is inevitable that he will often deal with foreigners, not only his factory must implement modern production management, but his headquarters building must be magnificent and modern. Although the current management has not yet formed a theoretical school of guidance, foreigners, especially Westerners, still pay great attention to regulations and order, and attach more importance to the façade of the company, and it is very necessary to have a magnificent and modern headquarters building for smooth business and cooperation with Westerners.

Sun Jiahui didn't know what Song Zhewu was thinking, and said excitedly: "Chairman, the headquarters building opposite is more magnificent, I have seen the blueprint, according to the French designer from Tianjin, our headquarters building is absolutely the best in China, and you have to cut the ribbon after it is built!" ”

Coming to Sun Jiahui's office on the second floor to sit down, Song Zhewu thought about it and said: "If our Xinghua wants to completely get rid of the small workshop production, we must not only have a good external image, but also have an internal advanced management system. ”

Sun Jiahui said while pouring tea for Song Zhewu personally: "What the chairman said is that if the scale of our company is not large, modern advanced management methods are not very important, but if our company wants to become bigger and stronger quickly, we must learn from the advanced management experience of the West, which Miss Li and I also deeply share." We all have a lot of admiration for the American Frederick. Taylor created the "standard labor method" and labor quota, his masterpiece "Principles of Scientific Management" we have all read, it should be said that Taylor created a precedent for modern management. Based on Taylor's concept and the successful experience of British and American companies, we have come up with a management system that is suitable for us. For example, the material procurement of each factory is unified by the procurement department of the head office, which can reduce the procurement cost; A technology research and development department has also been set up with the help of the research institute, which pays more attention to the development and use of new technologies......

Sun Jiahui, a turtle studying in the UK, has always wanted to manage a company like a mature large company in the West, but since he returned to China, the production management of domestic family businesses and small workshops has made it impossible for him to realize his ideals, and now that he can finally show his strengths, how can he not be excited. Therefore, when it comes to modern management, Sun Jiahui is so excited that he can't control himself.

Sun Jiahui and Li Rujuan made this enterprise system, in Song Zhewu's view, still want to be rough, and there is still a big gap with the systematic scientific management concept of later generations, but this is enough, which has allowed his Xinghua to stand on the same starting line in management with the world's large companies, and the rest is just to continue to deepen and improve his company.

Although Song Zhewu knows very well that if more advanced management concepts are applied to his company, his company will be more dynamic and vigorous, but Song Zhewu does not want his advanced concepts ahead of the times to flow out too early. Once Western companies adopt it, due to the advantages of scale and environment, large Western companies, and even companies in this area, will produce more powerful productivity, which is not something that Song Zhewu is happy to see, at least until the end of World War II.

After listening to Sun Jiahui's report on the new factory, Song Zhewu proposed to go to various factories to have a look.

According to Sun Jiahui, this is because they think that the scale of Xinghua's flour, dried noodles, grey fabrics, woolen spinning, and colored fabrics is large enough, and now these products have occupied more than 50 percent of the market share in Jiangbei, although there are still some production lines whose equipment has not arrived, and even factories have been built for them in advance, and once they are put into production, they will definitely control the market share at 60 percent in the northOn the basis of 40 percent in the south, if it continues to expand, it will only cause evil competition, and enterprises in the same industry will only continue to sell at lower prices in order to survive, which will not be beneficial to the growth of Xinghua's profits.

Although the pharmaceutical factory has been producing Western medicine and Chinese patent medicine at full capacity, the reserved area is still very large, because not only the sales of Western medicine are very good, but the supply of Chinese patent medicine is in short supply. The price of the Western medicine they produce is only 80% of that of imports, and naturally the supply exceeds the demand, but even then the profit is still more than doubled.

The sales of Chinese patent medicine are even better, and Western medicine at this time is still too expensive for ordinary people, and it is even sold in tablets. However, Chinese patent medicine is different, not only the efficacy is very good, but most of the prices are only about 40% of Western medicine, and now the order has been scheduled to the end of the year. The profit of the pharmaceutical factory has exceeded 3 million in the first month of this year, just because the output of Chinese patent medicine has been unable to expand because it is restricted by raw materials.

However, according to Sun Jiahui, he told Song Zhewu that he had sent people to various places to buy Chinese herbal medicines, and in addition, he was also preparing to buy land in Shanxi to plant Chinese herbal medicines. New equipment for the production of Western medicine has been ordered, and it will arrive in two months, and the profit of the pharmaceutical factory this year is conservatively estimated to exceed 50 million......
