After the official work report, the next step is to talk about a little light-hearted personal matter.

Among them, the issue of the relationship between men and women naturally cannot be raised, and the only thing that can be mentioned is the retention and reorganization of the Hongguang Factory.

Although Uncle Lin is the person in charge of a secret front, his identity on the surface is a high-level foreign trade and economic cooperation, so he also knows a little about many economic issues.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang's situation is special, so if Cao Zhiqiang wants to keep the Hongguang Factory, he must first report to Uncle Lin to at least find out Cao Zhiqiang's true intentions.

After listening to Uncle Lin's request, Cao Zhiqiang pondered and said: "Fourth master, the burden of the Hongguang Factory is mainly due to the large number of tertiary production personnel, followed by the obsolescence of technical equipment and backward technology.

Too many non-production personnel, outdated equipment, and backward technology are the three stubborn diseases that are the main problems of the Hongguang factory.

As for the superficiality of people and the backwardness of the management system, these are all superficial phenomena that can be adjusted at any time, and the problem is not big.

In addition to these problems, the advantage of the Hongguang factory is that there are a large number of technical backbones, especially excellent technicians, who are the most valuable assets.

In fact, this rectification, as well as the joint venture project with the Japanese tape factory, is a good opportunity to completely rectify the Hongguang factory.

That's what I thought.

The factories and tertiary production facilities of the Hongguang Factory in the urban area, such as factory-run hospitals, factory-run schools and other departments and relevant personnel, can be handed over to the municipal government and converted from state-owned enterprises to undertakings.

The original equipment of the Hongguang Factory can also be given to Shougang and other brother units, anyway, they are all old equipment, and it doesn't matter if they are given out.

As for the factory buildings and warehouses of the Hongguang Factory in the eastern suburbs, they will continue to be retained as the main factory of the Hongguang Factory.

Then, I want to keep the original cinema of Hongguang Factory and continue to use it as a factory-run cinema, not to the municipal government.

The reason is very simple, I have a film studio, a publishing house, and an audio-visual production company, and I want to do something in the cultural field in the future.

So what about cinemas, I hope to keep them, and it will help me in my cultural career.

Anyway, for the city government, one more movie theater is not much, one less is not a lot, there is no need to fight with me for this.

If that cinema can be preserved and continue to be used as a factory-run cinema of the Hongguang Factory, I will personally pay out of my pocket and take out a sum of money to carry out a series of renovations and renovations of the cinema to build a more advanced comprehensive cinema.

Nominally, I personally contracted the cinema of the Hongguang Factory, so I would pay for the decoration myself, and there would be no problem.

If it is successful, you can show it to the relevant units and let them know that in fact, it may be more cost-effective to contract a place like a movie theater to an individual.

Of course, these are all minor issues.

The real big problem is whether people stay or not.

I know that the city government is also a headache for those factory personnel, after all, it is not easy to arrange work now.

Actually, it's not a big problem.

In addition to professionals in schools and hospitals, most of the idle people can change careers to become restaurant waiters and chefs.

I used to open a restaurant called "Food for Heaven" in Beijing, which was actually the prototype of a chef training school.

Later, for various reasons, I sold the restaurant, but for now, it is business as usual, and the original staff is still working there.

I will talk to the city government and ask the government to help us find a less obstructive factory in our original factory building as a teaching center before the renovation work is completed, and set up a real chef training class and waiter training class in it.

During this period, I will set up a special company to specialize in the catering industry.

I hope the government can help, so that I can rent a few commercial front houses cheaper, and allow me to carry out a unified form of renovation and renovation.

In the beginning, I wanted to build a chain of 10 restaurant companies in one go.

In this way, the problem of job placement of at least a hundred people can be solved. ”

"Wait a minute!" Uncle Lin said, "I understand the catering company, but what do you mean by this ten chains?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Oh, that's right, even if I open ten restaurants in one go, the names of the restaurants are the same, the decoration and dishes are the same, and even the clothes of the chefs and waiters are the same."

This is the same as McDonald's fast food restaurants abroad, there are many branches, and all stores are unified management, uniform dress, and unified dishes.

In this way, the standard of the meals is controllable, and the guests go to any branch and enjoy the same service.

In this mode, both hygiene and operational efficiency can be greatly improved.

In other words, for the same amount of money, if I open ten small restaurants than a big hotel, I will have a wider coverage, more people to hire, and better advertising effects.

Of course, it is impossible for this model of fast food chain to serve tall dishes such as abalone and ginseng wings, and can only serve some projects that are simple and easy to learn and can carry out industrial and standardized production.

For example, hot pot, spicy hot, these dietary items are controllable, as long as the seasoning base is controlled, and then the ingredients are controlled, they can basically be fully rolled out.

A large hotel, at best, employs twenty or thirty people.

But for the same cost, if I open ten small and medium-sized fast food, I can hire 100 people, and I get more profits. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Uncle Lin asked, "A big restaurant is more expensive and more profitable to sell a dish, but a small restaurant is a small profit, how can the profit be higher?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Yo, the fourth master still understands this?" ”

Uncle Lin smiled: "When I was young, I worked as a runner for a big restaurant, so I know a little about this. ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "That's the case, four masters, the big restaurant is indeed more expensive and more profitable for a single dish, but the turnover rate is also slow."

For example, if you spend one million to open a big restaurant, even if it is full, at best there will be 100 people at a time, and if you have more, the dining will not feel good, and it will not be high-end.

For a hundred people to consume at a time, each person earns ten yuan, and if they die, they can earn a thousand yuan.

But if I spend a million to open 10 small restaurants, it's different.

The ten restaurants are all small restaurants, and the main focus is affordability, because the customers they face are middle and low-level, although they are not as rich as the rich people, but they have stronger spending power and more people.

Even if a restaurant only seats 50 people at a time, 10 restaurants are 500 people at a time.

Five hundred people eat a meal, even if each person only earns him three yuan, which is 1,500 yuan, which is more than 1,000 yuan in a restaurant.

The actual situation may be more, after all, ordinary people eat quickly, the turnover rate is high, and there may be three or four waves of guests for lunch.

In short, the restaurant seems to have a high profit for a single dish, but the overall number of people who can come to consume is small, and the overall profit is not high.

On the contrary, there are more small restaurants, doing mass eating, don't look at the profit of a single dish, but the small profit is high.

In terms of basic consumption such as eating and drinking, in fact, the more ordinary people buy and sell, the more profitable they are.

Because the poorer people are, the higher the desire to consume.

On the contrary, if a person is particularly rich, his desire to spend is not high.

You think, even if you have the ability to eat abalone and ginseng wings every day, do you really eat abalone and ginseng wings every day, aren't you tired?

That's what I do as a chain restaurant.

That is, to give up the tall big restaurants and change them to many small restaurants with ordinary faces, so as to make small profits and quick turnover.

Most of the small restaurants are family workshops, although the cost is low, but in fact, the quality of hygiene and the level of dishes are difficult to describe.

It's different when I do this kind of chain of small restaurants.

Although I also run a small restaurant, because it is a unified management of dishes, I have stronger control and supervision capabilities, and it is easier for customers to protect their rights if there is a problem while eating.

The most important thing is that this can solve the problem of a large number of jobs, so that many of the original idle workers in the factory can be re-employed and reused, without increasing the burden on the government. ”

Uncle Lin nodded: "This is a good way, but why didn't you do it before?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly: "I tried it before, but at that time, the Hongguang Factory was still there, and everyone was not happy to retrain and re-employ."

You think, I used to be fooling around in the factory, doing nothing, and I could get paid every month.

Then let them not be fooled, they have to learn how to be a chef again, how to be a waiter, and then go to work as a chef and waiter, and do things to serve people, how many of them are happy?

I don't think that except for those young people who have less money and are eager for more income, those middle-aged people who have already started a family are not willing to change at all.

Only when the factory makes rectifications and the iron rice bowl is about to be smashed will they have to make changes and have to come out to participate in the retraining and reemployment plan we have formulated.

Of course, if there is really the kind of person who does not listen to him or die, and does not participate in retraining and reemployment, then throw it to the government and let them fend for themselves. ”

Uncle Lin sighed: "Your idea is good, but it is just a restaurant chain, how many employment problems can be solved?" Don't forget, there are more than 8,000 people in your Hongguang Factory. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not just engaged in a catering, and there are not just ten restaurant chains, that's just a pilot."

Once the pilot is qualified, it proves that this form of chain fast food is completely feasible in China, and then it can go out of the capital and go to other cities to fully roll out.

By that time, opening a hundred restaurants would not be a problem.

Of course, that's all for later.

In fact, in addition to catering, I also engaged in a project that requires a lot of people, that is, the chain convenience kiosk project.

I'm afraid you've heard that our factory has made a batch of tin houses, which are uniformly painted red, nicknamed Little Red House.

These little red houses, set up in some downtown areas, specialize in selling newspapers, magazines, drinks and snacks, and also provide telephone service, in fact, they are small grocery stores. ”

"Ah, I see." Uncle Lin suddenly smiled, "This little red house of yours is actually the same as the chain restaurant you said, the essence is also a small grocery store, and then unified decoration, unified signboard, unified management, and use small profits and quick sales to make money, right?" ”

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, "Fourth master, now there are some small shops in various places that can make phone calls, sell newspapers and magazines, and sell snacks, but most of these shops are family units and are very scattered.

I plan to get involved in this industry, which is to build a chain of grocery stores by myself, which has the same function as those grocery stores in the family unit, but not in the family unit, but in the unified operation model of the company.

In this way, we can make small profits but quick turnover, earn more profits, and solve the employment problem of a large number of people, and as consumers, they do not have to worry about being slaughtered, once there is a problem with the purchase of things, such as the purchase of expired food and other quality problems, it is easier to protect rights.

Because small family units have a limited ability to bear losses, once they find that they need to bear huge responsibilities because of their own mistakes, they are likely to choose to default on their debts or run away.

But if it is a large chain company, it will not work, and the big company will not be able to run a big business, and it is also necessary to pay attention to the image, so it is easier to give compensation.

In fact, there have long been similar chain stores in Western society, such as Japan and the United States, there are many such chain stores, and the name is convenience stores.

I also learned from the advanced experience of the West, and then borrowed some advantages of the local factory.

For example, I have long established a subsidiary of Hongguang Machinery Factory, called Hongguang Department Store.

This Hongguang Department Store is a joint venture between me and Hongguang Machinery Factory, I contribute money and ideas, Hongguang Machinery Factory provides people and equipment, and Hongguang Machinery Factory accounts for the majority of shares.

Therefore, once the Hongguang Factory is still around, a large number of people who are not willing to work as waiters and cooks in restaurants, such as those middle-aged women, can go to work as salespeople at convenience kiosks, and implement a system of basic salary and performance bonuses to ensure that they earn more than in the past.

The kiosks are now just a few pilots, and it seems to be running well, and all the costs have been earned, and all of them have entered the profit model.

In this way, we can open another 100 convenience kiosks in the city according to the situation of these pilots.

According to the model of two people in a convenience kiosk, at least two hundred people can be employed. ”

"You're only 300 people." Uncle Lin said, "It's still far from 8,000 people." ”

"Don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Where is this, this is all appetizers, for people to see, the real big head is construction and transportation." ”

"Construction vs. transportation?" Uncle Lin frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "That's the case, I asked the director of our factory Li to make statistics, and there are currently 1,338 people above the second level in the factory.

Except for these 1,338 people, those who are not polite are all burdens, or they are not suitable to be workers in the factory.

Of course, our system is different, we can't learn from the West, and we don't care if we dismiss people.

We have to find a way out for these people so that they can get back into the workforce and get back to work.

This requires the creation of new demand and the creation of new industries.

The chain restaurants and convenience kiosks I am talking about are all taken this way.

However, the catering industry and commissaries can absorb only a limited amount of manpower.

What really needs a large number of people and does not require much professional skills is actually the construction industry and the transportation industry.

Therefore, I plan to set up two more subsidiaries in the name of Hongguang Factory, namely Hongguang Transportation Company and Hongguang Construction Company.

The Red Light Transportation Company, as the name suggests, is engaged in transportation.

I have been running around these days, and I have found that in fact, our transportation capacity is very poor, and there is a lack of communication between the north and the south in many places.

For example, the clothing, fruits and daily necessities produced in the south are very popular with us northerners.

And the raw materials such as steel, timber and coal in our north are very fond of the southerners.

However, our railway capacity is limited, and the management is relatively rigid, and many small factories cannot get train cars at all, so they cannot use trains for transportation.

So what to do, you can only transport it by car.

But car transportation is also troublesome, not to mention all kinds of car bandits and road rage on the way, and the official toll is also a headache.

Therefore, if there is a state-owned transportation company that can flexibly transport goods to various small and medium-sized enterprises, especially township enterprises, this should be able to generate a lot of profits.

Hongguang Machinery Factory itself has a transportation team, as long as the scale of the transportation team is expanded, more people and cars are added, a team can be pulled up soon.

This one transportation company can solve the employment of at least 1,000 people.

Of the remaining 5,000 people, the men can all pack up and get into the construction company to do construction.

For example, the renovation of the old factory area of the Hongguang Factory requires a lot of labor, which can be handed over to the Hongguang Construction Company that is familiar with it.

As for those middle-aged women, they can go into the garment factory to make clothes.

When the time comes, I will find a way to pull an investment from Japan, introduce a batch of advanced clothing equipment, and then let those female workers make clothes.

In the beginning, you don't have to make complicated ones, just make jeans.

Now jeans are very popular, but most of them are imported from the south, and we don't have a big factory in the north that can really do this.

As long as I can bring in the investment in technology and equipment, and train the original female workers in the factory, so that they can return to work and make clothes, it will not be a big problem.

In this way, we can take advantage of the government's rectification wind to turn bad things into good things and solve all problems in one go.

When the time comes, skilled workers will continue to work as workers in the workshop, and they only need to agree to let the Hongguang Factory share a few cups of soup, and give a little broth to the Hongguang Factory for the equipment and items I got from the fog, which is enough for them to eat.

For example, the machining project of the stockless rifle before can be handed over to the Hongguang Machinery Factory to continue to do, anyway, it is not a big problem.

As for other people who are not suitable to be skilled workers, as I said earlier, they either go into the restaurant industry, or enter the retail industry, or run transportation, engage in construction, or go directly to the garment factory as a worker.

In short, there are always more solutions than difficulties, and the key depends on whether you want to solve the problem and whether you want to change your life.

What I'm talking about is what we can do, but the workers also have to cooperate.

If you don't cooperate, you want to do it, then you can only use the banner of government rectification to let them go by themselves, and do whatever they like. ”

Uncle Lin smiled: "Interesting, you are taking advantage of this enterprise rectification to make the government sing white face, and you sing red face." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Yes, that's what I meant, but is there anything wrong with doing this?" ”

Uncle Lin took a deep breath: "No, it's good, at least your plan sounds very good." ”

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Lin nodded and said: "I passed it here, you will write a few detailed plans when you go back, and someone will find you at that time, you will explain the plan and specific details to the other party, and then cooperate with the people who come to get what you said."

As long as you can really do what you said, it is not a problem to keep the red light factory. ”

"Then thank you to the four masters." Cao Zhiqiang said happily.

"Don't thank me." Uncle Lin smiled slightly, "It's better that you work hard enough, and the plan you put forward is also reliable."

In short, as long as your original intention is for the good of everyone, and the proposed method works, then there is no reason why I should not help you. (End of chapter)
