Chapter 356: Dongguan

Dongye's mouth said that this small city is not Tang Ning thought that Shenzhen, China's special zone, but Dongguan, when he just learned the news, Tang Ning couldn't help but tilt his mind to Dongguan in the later period of a leading national industry, of course, this period of Dongguan is impossible to have those messy things, and in fact, Dongguan has always been a place where domestic manufacturing is concentrated.

The Hong Kong friends that Dongye said are actually not authentic Hong Kong people, the first to open the "three to one supplement" industry in the country Longan Hair Factory director Zhang Xi was originally from Dongguan, but in the late fifties, early sixties smuggled to Hong Kong for development, after the reform and opening up, he returned to his hometown to find business opportunities here, so he opened this hair factory, he also became the world's largest wig manufacturer head, known as the "wig king".

The first factory that Downing chose to open in Dongguan was not the cola factory he had entered in China, but his rice cooker factory, although he could no longer monopolize the rice cooker market as he did at the beginning, but the efficiency of the factory has always been very good, and if he can significantly reduce the cost this time, then he will be more competitive in the market.

In fact, it was the right time for Tangning to come to Dongguan at this time, because the success of Zhang Xi Wig Factory eliminated the concerns of the local government and the people, so Tangning did not encounter any major obstacles when discussing treatment and recruitment with the local government. But if Tangning is the first company to come to Dongguan to open up wasteland, then it is actually difficult for him to succeed. A large part of the reason why Zhang Xi was able to succeed is because he is a native of Dongguan, although he wears the hat of a Hong Kong businessman, but everyone knows him, and the connections and recognition of the five brothers of the Zhang family are enough, so when recruiting workers, everyone did not regard him as a Hong Kong businessman. After all, this is not the time of the 90s when foreign businessmen in China can call for wind and rain and swagger.

Another reason for the smooth progress is that Tang Ning's mentality is better, and for him to return to China to start a business, making money is secondary, and more importantly, he wants to give his son a chance to exercise. At the same time, he strives to use his own strength to make more compatriots live a better life, so the salary he offers is very generous, which is two percent higher than Zhang Xi's wig factory, so it naturally attracts many people to apply.

However, although the salary offered was very high, and Tang Ning came with the intention of giving back. But this does not mean that his requirements for workers are low, because in any case, he is a businessman, he can do charity, he can donate, but he can never use his factory as a good hall and support idlers, so it is better not to open it.

Although Downing has always firmly believed that the decade-long "cultural activities" have ruined a generation of Chinese people and slowed down China's development progress for at least two decades, one thing that has to be admitted is that the people who have gone through this period are extremely pure-minded, not as impetuous as in 2015, and government officials are a little less timid. However, those bad problems have not yet been formed, and the bureaucracy is still very rare, so the communication and cooperation are relatively smooth, and the workers are very obedient except for a few.

What is particularly interesting to Tang Ning is that there are also the first batch of "foreign girls" in China, that is, migrant workers. Zhang Xi recruited all locals before, but the number of locals is limited after all, Dongguan at this time is far less developed than later, and he and Tang Ning have basically come to such a move, so the gap naturally has to be filled by others.

And these people are said to be foreign girls. But in fact, they are all related to the locals of Dongguan, because only the introduction of relatives and the experience of witnessing their experience of getting rich (in 1978, the income of the whole village of Longyan Village was as high as more than 800,000 yuan, which was a very terrifying figure at that time), these people will come to apply. Otherwise, Downing has no appeal as an American, and the people can't trust you at all, which makes Downing sigh very much, it's really this time and that time, it's so easy for you to enter a foreign company after ten years, but now it's so hard to recruit workers.

Since the managers brought by Downing are all Japanese. Therefore, the management method is naturally a comprehensive Japanese style, fortunately, Tang Ning has repeatedly emphasized and explained before, so although the management is strict, it is still very humane. In addition, considering the level of education of the workers, the Dongguan factory carried out rough machining, and the precision procedures were carried out in Okinawa, but even so, due to the ultra-low wages of mainland workers (compared to Japan), the production cost was greatly reduced.

Downing's rice cooker factory didn't last long in existence, and Higashino's garment factory followed suit. Compared with Downing, Higashino is more cautious, or he just wants to revisit the way Downing developed in Tokyo, so all he takes on is OEM work, that is, he uses the mainland as a sweatshop to develop.

However, he complained a lot about Tangning: "Boss, I don't know if you have a preference for Chinese or if you are old now that your heart has become good, I remember that when you opened a factory in Tokyo, the salary was not so high and the management was not so loose." Now you can take a step forward and set the standard like this, so that I can't do it. In fact, we don't need to do this at all, as long as the treatment is similar to Zhang Xi's, or even better than his first time, we can still recruit people. ”

Tang Ning knew that what he was doing was not in line with the spirit of business, so he reluctantly explained: "Isn't this the situation different now than it was back then?" At that time, I was self-made in Tokyo, even if I wanted to offer a high salary, I didn't have that condition, and the living conditions of the Japanese people at that time were much worse than in China now, even in Tokyo, there were still many people who didn't have enough to eat, so my salary at that time was already a high salary, otherwise how could there be so many people queuing up to apply? But now, although the Chinese people are not living well, at least they are not starving to death. ”

ps: During this period of the Chinese New Year, it has not been updated, so I'm sorry for everyone. In addition, I would like to tell you a grievance, I have been preparing a new book for nearly a month and finally passed the internal review, but today I was shot by the editor-in-chief, because it is said that I am now writing about North Korea, and the cultural department of the North Korean embassy has been interfered with, my hard work, nearly 100,000 words of manuscript, 55555555555!
