Chapter 52 Complaints are repeated, and Sister Yun has no sleep
Sister Yun returned to the electronics factory and immediately explained Wang Xiaofeng's opinions on the transformation and upgrading of the factory and the research and development of new products to Zhao Ming. Zhao Ming also felt that this matter was urgent and imperative. The two jointly studied and decided to do work from two aspects: first, to convene a shareholders' meeting and a staff meeting to analyze the current severe situation of competition in the electronic market, and explain the necessity and urgency of transformation and upgrading. Second, use the factory as collateral, borrow money from the bank, and enlist the support and help of the township and town leaders. The plan has been decided, and it will be implemented immediately, and the shareholders' meeting and the workers' meeting will be held. Due to the sincere and meticulous ideological mobilization work, the shareholders first got the support of the shareholders, who said that for the development and long-term interests of the electronics factory, they agreed to temporarily take less dividends and benefits to support the factory to develop new products; And it is up to them to do the work widely among the workers. Then the general meeting of all employees was held, especially emphasizing the urgency of developing new products, which was widely approved. In addition, Sister Yun lobbied Secretary Liu and Township Mayor Niu to gain understanding and sympathy, and with their help, the bank agreed to lend 200,000 yuan to the electronics factory.
With the understanding and support of shareholders and employees of the whole factory, and with funds, Sister Yun and Zhao Ming decided to put the transformation and upgrading of the electronics factory and the research and development of new products on the agenda according to Wang Xiaofeng's proposal. They first hired two electrical engineers from the talent market with high salaries, and introduced four science and engineering college students to form a new product research and development team. Sister Yun personally grasped this work and was responsible for various matters of logistics support. Zhao Ming actively assisted Sister Yun in her work, and put forward constructive suggestions on the research and development of new products in a timely manner for the reference of Sister Yun and the R&D team.
The R&D team is actively working under the leadership of Sister Yun. They start with market research and analysis and grasp first-hand information to determine the R&D project. Sister Yun and Zhao Ming are both from farmers, and their ancestors have lived in the countryside for generations, so they know the economic situation and actual needs of farmers best. Since the reform and opening up, the rural areas have implemented the contract responsibility system for land production, the economy has developed rapidly, the living standards of peasants have improved year by year, and the problem of food and clothing has been solved. Therefore, there is an urgent need for small household appliances to improve living conditions and improve living standards. According to the market needs and the actual financial resources of the factory, the R&D team decided to develop electric fans and electric heaters first. The product name is named Fengyun brand electric fan and Fengyun brand electric heater according to the factory name. According to the true hopes of farmers, Sister Yun Zhao Ming put forward the requirements for new products: cheap and high-quality, strong and durable. According to the requirements put forward by the factory, the R&D team has set its own R&D goal to adopt the strengths of all families and become a product. They asked Sister Yun to buy the most popular electric fans and electric heaters in the rural market, disassemble and study them one by one, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages, and then consider the trade-offs, draw drawings, and develop them according to the target needs of developing new products.
At present, Fengyun Electronics Factory produces and develops both production. Zhao Ming is in charge of production and production management, pays close attention to product quality and production progress, and ensures that production tasks are completed on schedule and delivered on time. Sister Yun is even busier, in addition to being in charge of logistics and financial work, she is also responsible for the external liaison of the factory, opening the door widely, trying to win as many orders as possible, ensuring that the workers have work to do, have money to take, and the factory also has money to earn; Now I have added new product research and development, and I am very busy from morning to night every day. It is sometimes difficult to take care of Mei Ying and Huzi. However, these two children have developed the ability to live independently since childhood, and they can basically take care of themselves, and they don't need to worry too much about Sister Yun. Mei Ying is young, and she will be taken care of by Huzi more sooner or later, which can be regarded as solving problems for her mother. If Sister Yun goes on a business trip and says hello to the family, her grandparents will come over to take care of the daily life of the two children. Due to clear responsibilities, mutual cooperation, unity, and concerted efforts, the factory is in good order, and a harmonious and prosperous scene. Sister Yun was happy in her eyes, although she was busy, she was also gratified, and she was full of hope and confidence in her career and children.
However, in this era of social transformation and fierce competition, the development of various undertakings in the country is changing with each passing day, there are too many variables, changes are too fast and too great, and there are people who succeed and some people fail every hour and every day. The construction of factories, production, and recruitment of workers here is vigorous; Over there, some factories went bankrupt and closed down, workers were laid off and unemployed, and workers were separated, and people went to the factories to be empty. It is really a bright moon shining on Kyushu, a few happy and a few sad. Survival of the fittest, which is the inevitable result of competition, is a common occurrence in society, people have long been accustomed to it, and it is not uncommon.
Sister Yun's Fengyun Electronics Factory is not long-lasting. In the second year of Wang Xiaofeng's proposal for the transformation of the factory, what he feared had finally happened! The electronics factory first reduced orders and insufficient business, and Sister Yun and Zhao Ming fought in many ways to barely maintain production, but the factory's profits decreased. However, at the end of the year, the amount of orders dropped sharply, and the business was seriously insufficient. At this time, the new products developed by our factory are still in the trial production stage and cannot be put into production. In desperation, Zhao Ming and Sister Yun had no choice but to implement the plan of workers going to work half a day and staying at home half a day, so as to keep workers from being laid off and unemployed. The wages of workers in the electronics factory are paid by piece, so that the wages of the workers can only get half of them, so the workers are very dissatisfied, and there are many discussions openly and secretly, and there are many complaints about Sister Yun and Zhao Ming, and they are not very optimistic about the prospects of the electronics factory.
Sister Yun and Zhao Ming saw it in their eyes, heard it in their ears, and were anxious in their hearts, so they had no choice but to put their grievances and worries aside. There is no other way, but they have to do more persuasion and education work, repeatedly explaining to the workers that this situation is a common phenomenon in the current electronic market, and it is not unique to our factory. The reason is that there are too many small electronics factories in various places, and there are too many monks and less porridge, which has caused the phenomenon of insufficient business volume. Fortunately, our factory has already estimated this situation, has decided to transform the production of electric fans and electric heaters, the new product has entered the trial production stage, once the trial production is successful, put into mass production, everyone will go to work all day, full salary; If sales are good, we should expand recruitment and raise workers' wages. Please believe in us, and wait patiently for a while, Fengyun Electronics Factory will definitely get out of the predicament and prosper again. In this way, the mood of the workers stabilized slightly.
However, the successful development of a new product is a matter of one or two days, and the trial production is successful and put into mass production, and there is a shortage of funds in the factory. A few months later, the discontent of the workers rose again, and there were rumors that the electronics factory was about to close down because it could not get orders; Others said that there was no funding in the factory, and the trial production of new products had been stopped, and transformation and upgrading were impossible. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. The news spread quickly to the society and caused a sensation. Soon, someone found Sister Yun with the stock and asked for a withdrawal. Sister Yun repeatedly explained that this is all a rumor with ulterior motives, and they want to take advantage of the temporary difficulties of the electronics factory to smear the electronics factory, destroy the production and reputation of the electronics factory, and prevent the research and development of new products. To this end, she also took the people who asked for the withdrawal of shares to visit the production workshop and R&D workshop on the spot. The person who asked for the withdrawal of shares saw that the situation on the scene was not consistent with the rumors, so he reluctantly believed Sister Yun's words and did not withdraw his shares for the time being.
Looking forward to it day and night, the new product overcame one difficulty after another, and finally the trial production was successful! The technical indicators have been tested by experts many times, and all of them have reached or exceeded the predetermined index, and can be put into mass production. As soon as this news came out, the workers of the whole factory were jubilant, and everyone eagerly hoped that the new product would be put into mass production as soon as possible to save the electronics factory; They also work full-time, get paid in full, increase the income of their families, improve their living conditions, and raise their living standards; Shareholders will also be able to share more dividends at the end of the year.
The successful development of new products is a great joy and a great thing, which greatly improves the confidence and enthusiasm of the employees of the whole factory. But then the problem arose, the new product was put into mass production, and a lot of money was invested, and Sister Yun and Zhao Ming had a detailed budget, and even if the new product was produced in small batches, at least another 500,000 yuan would be invested. And the biggest difficulty in the factory at the moment is the lack of funds, where does the 500,000 come from? Due to the sharp drop in orders, the half-day system for workers to go to work, and the halving of wages, the credibility of the electronics factory in society has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to raise funds from the society. However, if the new product is not put into production, the electronics factory is really hopeless, and there is no choice but to file for bankruptcy! This is an outcome that neither management, workers, nor local leaders want to see. No matter how difficult the funds are, we must do everything possible to solve them. After research, they decided to produce Fengyun brand electric fans first, because the demand for electric fans in the rural market is the largest, so the capital investment can also be reduced a lot. Since there is no other way, the source of funds has to apply for a loan from the bank again.
They soon deliberated repeatedly, carefully prepared a written report, and enlisted the support of Secretary Liu and Township Mayor Niu on the grounds that the factory was transformed and upgraded, the new product was successfully developed, and it was about to be put into mass production, and they were in urgent need of financial support. The two banks received a report on the loan application of Fengyun Electronics Factory, and after investigation and research, they believed that the original loan of their factory had not been repaid, and now the factory is not in good condition, and the development of new products is promising, which is more risky, and it is delayed for more than a month, and finally they still refuse to give the loan. It is also inconvenient for the two leaders of the township government to intercede. Without money, new products cannot be put into production if they are successfully developed, and the difficulties will be even greater. The only hope was shattered, Sister Yun and Zhao Ming were like ants on a hot pot, anxious, worried, and sad, and they all fell into despair, sighing, helpless. There is no capital, there is no way to get a loan, and new products are successfully developed but cannot be put into production; How long can the enthusiasm and confidence of the employees of the whole factory be maintained by the successful development of new products? It's really worrying for them. They really don't know where the electronics factory should go next and where it will go.
Sister Yun stayed awake all night, shedding tears of sadness and despair several times. Helpless, she thought of Wang Xiaofeng again: We are incompetent, if Xiaofeng is at home, maybe he will have a solution. But now that he is in prison and can't help himself, how can he help her solve her difficulties? She wanted to write a letter to tell Xiao Feng the truth, so that he could help her think of a feasible way, but she was afraid that after Xiao Feng knew the truth, he would not be able to think of a way but would be anxious, and if something unexpected happened, the situation would be worse. After thinking about it repeatedly, I had to give up. She sighed: The Buddha is in the western sky, and I don't think he can come. You have to find a way to solve your own difficulties.
Sister Yun continued to think and became more worried and anxious: there was no loan, new products could not be put into production, and factories could not solve their difficulties; What if it drags on any further and rekindles workers' discontent? How to respond to shareholders' requests for withdrawal of shares? Is it watching the electronics factory go bankrupt and go bankrupt? How to explain such an ending to Xiaofeng? The opening of the electronics factory is the beginning of Xiaofeng's farewell to illegal crimes and a new life, and it is the verification that their husband and wife have gone through bitter twists and turns after their divorce and reconciled, and now, it is the driving force that supports Xiaofeng in that place and is full of hope for the survival and development of the electronics factory, and it is the spiritual pillar for him to serve with peace of mind, wait hard, and continue to live! If he hears the news of the closure of the electronics factory, will he still be able to serve with peace of mind? Can you still live? Thinking of this, Sister Yun broke out in a cold sweat and felt the importance and urgency of solving the loan problem even more.
She made up her mind to solve the loan problem as soon as possible, so that the new product could be put into production as soon as possible, and the electronics factory would get out of the predicament as soon as possible, and the factory would never be allowed to go out of business! This is Xiaofeng's hope, the hope of her, her family, Zhao Ming, the hope of the workers of the whole factory, and the hope of the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich. Without the electronics factory, all this hope would be gone! Xiaofeng is desperate, can he still live? Without Xiaofeng, I would have no shame to live anymore. Therefore, even if she is desperate, she also wants to save the electronics factory, keep it, and save it!
The goal was clear, the determination was made, and then she had no distractions, and only thought about the way to save the factory with a loan. After thinking about it, I was still at a loss until midnight, and I got nothing. If she can't get a loan or save the electronics factory, how can she sleep? So she continued to think. Suddenly, the tall image of a big man, the county magistrate Li, appeared in her mind. This person is also from a peasant family, upright and kind, selfless, and has a high prestige among the masses. County Magistrate Li once took people to visit Fengyun Electronics Factory, and Sister Yun received him and had a relationship. At the end of the visit, Sister Yun wanted to set up a banquet to entertain him, and County Magistrate Li insisted, saying that you are a private enterprise, how can you have this fund? After saying that, he thanked him again and again, and left with the people. County Magistrate Li is a senior official and is in charge of the affairs of the whole county, can she, the director of a small electronics factory in a township on the verge of bankruptcy, go to the county magistrate? Are people willing to host you? But who else? The leaders of the bank and the township government have all come to him, but the loan still can't be solved, who will he find if he doesn't look for him? Who else can help her? Just when Sister Yun was ambiguous and difficult to decide, she thought of me again, her good best friend, the person who had helped her countless times; Because she heard that County Magistrate Li and my lover are relatives. So she decided to come to me, and through me to find my lover to find County Magistrate Li, to ask for a loan to save the electronics factory. Success or not, in one fell swoop! Although it is not the right way, in desperation, she is unwilling to give up. In the middle of the night, Sister Yun was excited, and she patted the bed: It's decided! The inner courtyard of the palace, the hall of the lord, I also have to take a trip.
