After the Chinese New Year.

"Manager Chen, I have something to report to you!" A female worker in a wig factory came to Chen Xia's side flatteringly and said.

Chen Xia saw that this female worker was the first batch of veteran skilled workers, and the expression on her face was a little softer, as if she was not looking at the female workers who had just come in.

"What's the matter?"

The female worker hurriedly said: "Recently, there are people from outside, who are digging our workers. I happened to this yesterday, he said to give me a salary of 100 Hong Kong dollars a month, and promised to continue to be my team leader. ”

When Chen Xia heard this, she immediately said angrily: "You have no brains!" They give you 100 Hong Kong dollars per month, that's the fancy of your skills, and when they learn it, they will kick you away with one kick, who calls you a high salary! And the salary we give you here is also ninety, double salary at the end of the year, holiday benefits, and long-term employment. If you want to go, I won't leave you, just let you think about it, so as not to suffer losses in the future! ”

The female worker originally had some meaning in that regard, but now she could only hurriedly flatter: "Manager Chen, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't think about changing jobs at all, but told you about this, I'm worried that someone can't stand the temptation!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Xia worriedly.

Chen Xia rewarded the female worker and said: "I know about this matter, I will take credit to you first." You're also our team leader, and this awareness should have been. ”

When the female worker heard about the credit, although she didn't know what the benefits were, she hurriedly said happily: "Yes, I have enlightenment, then I will go to work!" ”

"Well, go ahead, do a good job!"

"Hey"

After the female workers left, Chen Xia went to various groups and lines to talk heart-to-heart, she knew how to stabilize the military situation.

In fact, there are no female workers who have left their jobs. But many female workers have been invited, but although these female workers are looking at the salary increase, they also have some worries, that is, the Yangtze River wig is a big factory and is guaranteed; And the small factory may close down one day, but it will be unemployed.

At the same time, the other party's salary did not reach the level that made them desperate, and they were somewhat stingy.

Throughout the morning, Chen Xia was giving everyone vaccinations and thinking about countermeasures in her mind. She quickly became suspicious of the two brothers, Lu Hongbo and Lu Hongshan, because they had not sent female workers to intern since they bought the machinery.

So at noon, she reported her work to Chen Linyuan.

"General manager, I'm sure those two guys. After all, they didn't send female workers to intern, which means that they don't want to pay that money and time, so they want to take shortcuts. ”

After hearing this, Chen Linyuan agreed with this statement.

"Okay, I know that. Your job now is to stabilize female workers and not give them a chance to poach them. Of course, it is not a salary increase, but a stake, a prospect and welfare of our company, I believe you are better at it. At the same time, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, in the later stage, this Lu Hongbo wants to send female workers to intern, and you will be unable to accommodate the factory, and you need to wait for the arrangement to shirk it. ”

Chen Xia nodded and said indignantly: "That's how you want to clean them up!" It is better to be the raw material of wigs and not to sell them either. ”

Chen Linyuan was stunned, not because he didn't think of this method, but because he sighed at Chen Xia's ruthlessness. However, he is not worried that Chen Xia can take the position and pose any threat to him.

The boss and himself rely on Chen Xia, but her performance in the workshop, Chen Xia still has a big shortcoming in other aspects. If you don't know English alone, how can you be a middle and senior member of the group? In the past few years, the boss can be forced to 'eradicate' the middle and senior levels, and those who will not learn all of them.

"Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it."

"Okay, you're busy, I'll go to the workshop!"

Chen Xia can also see the color and retire immediately.

Afternoon.

Lin Zhichao came to the Yangtze River Industrial Park, he usually ships around the world in the morning, goes to Cheung Kong Industrial at noon, and goes to the Yangtze River Industrial Park in the afternoon; If he goes abroad, the work is handed over to his subordinates, and he will call him across the ocean to give guidance.

Ke Yanping, the general manager of the Yangtze River Toy Factory, was the first to enter his office, and he said: "Boss, 50,000 Bier Lily and 100,000 sets of clothing have been loaded and are expected to arrive in Germany in early March." ”

For Bier dolls and Barbie dolls, Lin Zhichao is not in a hurry.

The same is true for Gauss, although everyone thinks it will be successful, they are still unhurried to make the most complete preparations.

The toy company that the two are working on has hired a new CEO to take care of the specific work. As for the Yangtze River Toy Factory, it also dispatched two managers who understand English (Germany has a high English speaking rate), mainly to do the work of supervision, and of course to arrange specific work.

"Well, the rest is the business of the partner company, you are only responsible for the sales of our 'Bond' toys, and the production of related toys."

"Okay, I understand."

Ke Yanping has been full of energy and devoted himself to his work recently, because he has found one thing, that is, the boss knows the development of the entire toy industry well, plans in an orderly manner, and can do more in the future. With such a boss, it is natural and eager to prove that he is a good manager.

'Bond' is the brand, and Lin Zhichao is ready to register in many countries, before the 007 series of movies comes out. Of course, Bier Lily and Barbie are also toy brands, and Changjiang Toys is their parent company.

In addition to acting as an agent for the sale of 'Bier Lily' in Asia, Bond Toys also sells 'Bond' brand clockwork and gear toys, trolley toys, etc.; In the later stage, there will naturally be more 'NO.1' toys, which have to be taken step by step.

Afterwards.

Chen Linyuan came in to report the situation and informed the boss of Lu Hongbo and Lu Hongshan.

After listening, he couldn't see what Lin Zhichao's mood was? But the next words let Chen Linyuan know that the boss is by no means so easy to mess with.

"Cancel their internships, raw materials, agency cooperation, and refuse to have any cooperative relationship with them. At the same time, I plan to invite the bosses of the wig industry to have tea and discuss some norms of the industry together, so as to prepare for the establishment of the 'Hong Kong Wig Association' in the future." When the time comes, you will gradually be put in the position, and in the future, you will play the role of an industry leader in this organization and promote the healthy development of the entire Hong Kong wig industry. ”

After all, it is only a small chamber of commerce, and even if Lin Zhichao serves as the president of the chamber of commerce, he will also promote Chen Linyuan in the second session.

The president of the chamber of commerce does not have to be the boss, and there are examples of New World executives serving as the president of the real estate chamber of commerce in previous lives, mainly based on ability and industry contribution; With the contribution of the Yangtze River wig to the entire industry, Chen Linyuan has no obstacle to his position, and he can serve as a vice president or secretary general in the first session.

Chen Linyuan nodded and said: "I understand, I must dedicate myself to this industry, not only to strive for greater interests for the company, but also to contribute to the development of the entire industry." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "Do a line, love a line, and be proficient in a line, that's the truth." The scale of Hong Kong's wig industry is very promising, and the time span of prosperity will be very long, which can be said to be promising. ”

Chen Linyuan was said by the boss to be enthusiastic, and he couldn't wait to dedicate his life to the wig industry.

Here, Lu Hongbo and Lu Hongshan were jumping up and down in a factory.

"The Yangtze River Wig Factory is too much, they have no evidence to slander people!" Lu Hongshan said angrily.

It turned out that when the two went to find the Yangtze River wig and the Yangtze River trade cooperation, they were announced to cancel all of them, and the reason was not told to the two, anyway, they were not cooperating.

As a result, they will be faced with no skilled workers, no raw materials for wigs, and even no sales channels. It's not that they're in a desperate situation, but at least it's a situation where they can't open a wig factory for three months.

This made their idea of going into production in February immediately become a fantasy. It's not just a matter of time, the two brothers don't know English, how to go to Europe and the United States to find a wig agency?

Lu Hongbo said: "It's all your fault for making a fuss, these are good, others don't need evidence at all, as long as they suspect us, they can refuse all cooperation." ”

Lu Hongshan said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, it's you who is in charge, not me!" ”

The two brothers quarreled for a while, and almost broke up, but fortunately calmed down at the last moment.

After all, 300,000 Hong Kong dollars have been invested to buy equipment and lease factories, etc., and if you give up now, it will be a heavy loss.

Lu Hongbo said: "Why don't the female workers of the Yangtze River Wig Factory agree to change jobs, do they dislike that the wages are not high enough? ”

It has been opened to 110 Hong Kong dollars per person, and no one has changed jobs, which makes him very puzzled!

Lu Hongshan said: "According to Ah Biao, the female workers are afraid that we will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and it is obvious that the Yangtze River Wig Factory has carried out coercion and inducement in advance. ”

Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, neither of them denied it.

After all, after a long time, there are sixty or seventy female workers, and one hundred and ten female workers, isn't that messy in the workshop?

Lu Hongbo gritted his teeth and said: "If it doesn't work here, just go to other wig factories to dig people, you can do this thing, don't mess up it again this time." ”

Lu Hongshan wanted to speak and stopped, meaning why he said that he messed up, but he still held back, who called Lu Hongbo the eldest brother!

Then, Lu Hongbo said: "I am in charge of wig raw materials and sales, anyway, this is a new industry, we can't lose money." On the contrary, it may be an opportunity for us to skip the Yangtze River trade as an agent and get cheaper raw materials and more expensive sales channels. ”

When Lu Hongshan heard this, he ignited his fighting spirit.

Is that really the case?

Only time will tell!

At the end of the day, the brothers Lu Hongbo and Lu Hongshan are just small business owners and have limited influence on the industry as a whole.

In the conference room of the Changjiang Wig Factory, the owners of 12 major wig factories in Hong Kong were invited, excluding the brothers Lu Hongbo and Lu Hongshan, of course.

Lin Zhichao presided over the meeting, and his next leaders were Lee Shau Kee and Chen Linyuan, as well as ten factory owners.

"I convened everyone this time to exchange industry experiences. We are the first factory owners to enter this industry, but that doesn't mean we have to compete to the death. In fact, wig factories will appear in large numbers in the next few years, and there may be dozens, hundreds of wig factories, so everyone should unite for the healthy development of the entire industry. ”

In fact, Lin Zhichao still underestimated the wig market, what he didn't know was that in 1970, Hong Kong's wig industry became the fourth largest export of Hong Kong products, second only to textiles, ready-to-wear, toys, wigs were exported to billions of Hong Kong dollars that year. So, instead of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year as Lin Zhichao thought.

Of course, at present, it is only in the embryonic stage, and the wig industry has faded very quickly, in the mid-to-late seventies; As the saying goes, when it is prosperous, the development is rapid and incomparable; Once it declines, it will be like a river going down, pouring for thousands of miles.

As soon as Lin Zhichao's words fell, they attracted everyone's echo, they are all vested interests, and they have already made money as soon as they start work, and they admire Lin Zhichao's generosity.

What Lin Sheng said is that if we want long-term and healthy development, we should communicate more and formulate some industry rules and regulations. I suggest that the Yangtze River Wig Factory is the mainstay, and we usually hold regular industry exchange meetings. A businessman named Liu Qingshan said excitedly.

He set up a line, and now he can produce 150~200 wigs per month, and can make a profit of 30,000 or 40,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is very satisfying. The key is that he feels that relying on the Yangtze River wig is very trouble-free, and he doesn't have to worry about wig raw materials and sales.

Liu Qingshan's words attracted everyone's echo.

Lin Zhichao did not shirk either, and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then we will hold regular exchange meetings." ”

He didn't mention the matter of the wig chamber of commerce, after all, wigs are not an industrial chain now, and the time is not ripe, and it will be about the same in two or three years.

In the conference room, everyone had a heated discussion, and Lin Zhichao and Chen Linyuan also informed everyone of the reasons why wigs are popular in the European and American markets, which made everyone refreshed.

In particular, when I heard that there were white teenagers wearing women's wigs, tattoos, and exaggerated clothes, everyone was amazed. They have always thought that it was the demand market for bald heads and artists!

Lee Shau Kee didn't talk much, but he listened very carefully, and then he made a remark: "Since this is a culture, and it is also a culture that has just emerged after the war, I am afraid that more and more audiences will join, and the wig industry still has great potential!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were secretly surprised, this Lee Shau Kee has not spoken much, everyone thought it was a related household, but they didn't expect such an incisive speech.

"It makes sense, the wig industry is very promising, and I'm very optimistic!"

Everyone had a good chat, mainly because they were having a lot of fun at the moment.

At this time, Lin Zhichao also formulated some industry rules, and he said seriously: "The raw materials of wigs and the sales of wigs, we very much encourage everyone to take the initiative to find channels, which is also a kind of healthy development." However, I would like to say here that since the Korean Peninsula Campaign has just ended, there are certain contradictions between the United States and the mainland, so it is better not to import wigs from the mainland in recent years, so as not to bring a serious blow to this newborn industry. ”

For this point of view, everyone once again seriously agreed, saying that they should pay attention to this problem, and the source of wigs is still imported from Indonesia and India, two countries with huge populations.

Someone also said: "At present, the mainland is engaged in public and private operations, and private import and export trade is almost not allowed, so the trade between the mainland and Hong Kong has actually become more and more sluggish after the war, so it is not very convenient to import wigs from the mainland, and I believe that few people will succeed." Just make sure that the vast majority of wigs come from Indonesia and India, and that's a good result! ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Gao Sheng has a point! ”

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but admire Lin Zhichao's encouragement to find wig raw materials and sales channels by themselves. Maybe at the beginning, everyone still thinks that the Yangtze River Wig Factory is treating everyone as a foundry, although it is also willing, but there are some ideas buried in the bottom of their hearts, which is unavoidable.

But now Lin Zhichao is saying this, which obviously confirms the selfless quality of the founder of the wig.

Finally, Chen Linyuan informed everyone of one thing: "Recently, there is a pair of brothers named Lu Hongbo and Lu Hongshan, who are digging corners, and everyone should take care of the company's technicians." These two people are a little inauthentic, we train them workers for free, they feel reluctant, they have to dig people directly, it is simply inexplicable. So, I'll tell you about it here. ”

For a time, it aroused the public indignation of everyone, and they crusaded against the two brothers.

At this point, everyone's meaning is the same, after all, the Yangtze River Wig Factory does not charge training fees, which is already benevolent, but I didn't expect the Lu brothers to want to dig people directly.

Soon, the two brothers' reputation in the industry had become stinky.

A few days later, the Lu brothers also learned that the two of them had become famous in the industry, and the entire wig industry was accusing the brothers of poaching people everywhere, but they were reluctant to learn with their hearts. In addition, there are many kinds of gossip, which are overwhelming for a while.

"Big brother, what should I do? Lin Zhichao is determined to clean up our brothers, I am afraid that the wig industry will not have a place for us, or sell the machine, find another industry to do! Lu Hongshan said in fright.

The two were boycotted by the industry so quickly, and it is unknown who has this energy. At least, it is also the general manager of the Yangtze River Wig Factory who is circling around.

Lu Hongbo calmed down a lot, and said for a long time: "No, what they said doesn't count, and there is no actual harm." We do ours, anyway, we develop ourselves. Isn't there already two female workers who are willing to change jobs, let's dig people slowly, and soon there will be no technical problems. And I also heard some news about the raw materials of wigs, and I will be able to contact them soon, but the sales of this wig have to take their time, I believe that as long as our price is cheaper, it will be better to sell. ”

Now that he has been forced to go to Liangshan, Lu Hongbo thinks that he has to go down no matter what, he thinks that the Yangtze River Wig Factory can start from scratch, why can't he succeed on his own!

Although Lu Hongshan had no clue, he could only listen to his brother's words.

In fact, wigs are not a uniform price, wigs with better color quality can be sold more expensive, some special wigs, can even be thousands of yuan (Hong Kong wholesale price); And wigs of poor quality will even be returned by agents.

This is also destined to cause a lot of blows to the wig career of the Lu brothers in the early stage, which is a later story, not for the time being.

At the same time, the deterioration of the reputation in the industry will naturally have a certain impact, after all, the tree lives a skin.
