Chapter 258: A New Decision
My second Spring Festival in this small village came quietly after a light snowfall.
On the day of the holiday, I held an unprecedented meeting with all the employees to express my sincere gratitude for their contributions to the factory since its establishment, even though we are in an employment relationship with each other, and I don't have to do this.
But to this day, there are some things that I have thought about very thoroughly, and people live for a lifetime, just to have peace of mind. It must not be an accident that I am where I am today. A large part of the reason for this is all due to this group of simple villagers, and I only played the role of a leader.
If it weren't for Xiaoyu's help and the trust of all the villagers in me and putting their farms under my name without any worries to make this happen, my idea would have been nothing more than empty talk.
If it weren't for the village director who helped me solve the company's business license in his unique way. The factory will never be able to leave today, and it may still leave me with a huge amount of debt.
Although I am not good at talking about these things, I have all of them in my heart. So I knew very well that if it weren't for these villagers, the company wouldn't be where it is today.
I asked Xiaoyu to prepare a big red envelope for each worker in advance and sent it to them by hand. I looked at the happy expressions on their faces, but they didn't know that I was happier than they were. I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that can make you happier than bringing happiness to others.
I still spent the night of Chinese New Year's Eve at Uncle Wang's house, thinking that on this day last year, I was still a homeless man who had just arrived here, but only a year later, I became the owner of a famous food company here, and I don't sigh when I think about it.
Fate is a magical thing, it makes you feel no pity when you suffer misfortune, but it can turn around and pave a road for you.
The so-called life is an elusive encounter, no matter which extreme you go to good or bad, you can't control your own destiny.
So for my achievements today, except for the happiness I brought to others, I didn't feel much pride because of the number on my account, I was just pushed by fate.
After all that I've been through, I've come to believe that there is such a thing as fate. Gain and loss have long been predestined, perhaps only by ignoring all this with a cold mood will we be able to deal with it calmly when fate turns......
After the Spring Festival, the factory is even busier, due to the Spring Festival holiday, all food factories will be closed, but the purchasing power of consumers has increased significantly, as soon as the start of work will receive a lot of reminder calls.
In order to cope with this situation, I have already stocked up on a large number of goods for many years, but it is still far from enough for the needs of customers. More than a dozen trucks all set off on the same day to transport the goods out, and within a few days all the inventory was gone.
Business seems to be getting better and better, and after a long time, most of my peers have some understanding, as far as I know, it seems that other factories are not as popular as our factory shipments.
So I carefully studied the details of the varieties shipped, and found that the most shipped flavors were actually the ones I asked the ingredient master to improve.
In the most
When I began to think about expanding my products nationwide, I asked the ingredient chef to diversify the flavors of the food so that it could meet the different taste needs of consumers across the country.
It turned out that I was the right decision, because in addition to the price of our products, the variety of flavors is one of the reasons why our products are so popular.
Due to the increasing sales of products, the six production halls were running at full capacity, and new problems soon appeared.
That is, there is a serious shortage of raw materials, because there are so many seafood farms, the output is basically fixed, resulting in various manufacturers are trying their best to buy raw materials, in this case, there will naturally be a shortage of raw materials.
When the farms in the villages that had supplied the factories were no longer able to meet the needs of the factories, I knew that this was a serious problem.
There are fixed manufacturers in other places to buy, and the only way to grab goods from them is to raise the price. However, since then, it is difficult to disrupt the price order of seafood raw materials for free, and it is inevitable to offend peers, and this method is not a long-term solution.
I thought about it and it seemed that there was only one way to solve this problem, and I had already thought about it, but this problem didn't come to the fore so early at the time, so I never took it to heart.
Now it seems that I have to reconsider this approach, which is to expand our own breeding base.
This method is not impossible, our village is close to the sea, and there is a large area that cannot be used, and with a little investment, this sea area can be used.
There is only one problem that needs to be solved, and that is that if the farm is expanded enough to supply the production of our factory, it will inevitably require a lot of manpower to be invested in the farm. At present, almost all the villagers in the village are working in my factory, after all, there is really no way to allocate people to run the farm!
I invited Uncle Wang and the village chief to my house, explained my thoughts to them in detail, and asked them if they had any opinions.
Uncle Wang and the village chief glanced at each other, and judging from their slightly surprised expressions, it was clear that my idea was beyond their expectations.
"Ah Shengzai, although your idea is a little bolder, it is not impossible, but raising seafood seems simple but it is also a technical job, and if you have no experience, you are afraid that it will not be able to raise well! And according to you, large-scale farming requires a lot of professional manpower, where does this manpower come from? The village director was the first to speak, and he immediately got to the point.
So I told him my thoughts: "Director, Uncle Wang, I came to you to discuss this matter with you, I think so, I want you two to lead the villagers of our village to specialize in seafood farming, and I will invest in the construction of breeding base facilities, and then distribute them to everyone." It's just that I don't have an idea of what form this breeding base will take, and I want to hear the opinions of the second elder. ”
Uncle Wang and the village director both looked at me, so I continued: "Now there are two ways, one is to allocate the breeding base to the villagers in the form of a contract to operate separately, and the factory will buy seafood from them at a normal price. The second is to hire them in the way that I put them in charge of the work of the breeding base, and of course the salary will definitely not be less than working in the factory. I don't know
What is the opinion of the second elder on these two methods? I asked.
Uncle Wang finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the upper of his shoes a few times and said: "The people in the village are living by farming seafood, of course don't worry about technology, I think the two plans you give are successful, but I think the first method is more suitable, only their own income and their own labor are directly linked to everyone will be attentive, although I am familiar with the temperament of the people in the village, most of them are good, but there are also some people who steal and cheat, if it is the second method, I am afraid that there will be a risk of a rat feces spoiling a good pot of soup, Even if it's not like what I said, it will inevitably affect other people, and I don't think the first method is as reasonable as the first method! ”
I nodded secretly when I heard this, what Uncle Wang said is not unreasonable, I know this truth well after working in a large company, everyone works together in the case of the same remuneration, if one person is passive to deal with work, it will inevitably affect the enthusiasm of other people, so that the work efficiency is greatly reduced.
This is like the era of eating a big pot of rice at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone seems to be working with a hoe, once it comes to the division of the field to the household, who is working hard and who is eating and waiting for death will be clear at a glance!
The village chief also agreed with Uncle Wang's words, and in this way, the issue was settled without any disagreement between me and the two people in the village who I trusted the most.
As for the vacancies in the factories where the villagers were transferred, the village director also thought of a countermeasure, but it was not a clever solution, he said to me: "As long as we release the news of recruitment, a lot of people will come to apply!" ”
When I first heard this, I was a little unimpressed, thinking that his words were a bit exaggerated, but when the breeding base was completed and the villagers were transferred from the factory, I completely believed the words of the village director.
I handed over this matter to Da Zhuang to be responsible, that day was the first day of the factory to release the recruitment information, I came out of the house before I walked to the factory, I saw two long lines at the factory gate, each with a form in their hands, Da Zhuang and Xiao Yu are conducting a simple interview with them, obviously these people are here to apply.
I pulled Xiaoyu over and asked her, "Xiaoyu, where are these people?" Why did you come so many at once? ”
Xiaoyu smiled at me and said, "Brother Asheng, it seems that you really don't know, our company has long been famous, and the villagers in nearby villages and towns are waiting for our company to recruit, this time they finally made them wait, how could they not come early!" ”
Xiaoyu's words secretly surprised me, although I know that my company does have some reputation in the vicinity, but it is not enough to make them always ready for the company's recruitment, which makes me feel a little strange.
"Is that an exaggeration?" I was amazed.
"Brother Asheng, you don't want to think about it, the salary offered by our company is higher than that of the county, and it is easier than that in the city, and the benefits are good, how can they not want to come? If you look at the young people in our village who work outside all the year round, you can know that one of them will go out after the Chinese New Year this year? Didn't they all go into our factory? Xiaoyu said with a proud expression.
I smiled, and I thought it was. If you can get the same amount of income, who wants to leave their hometown to make a living!
