Chapter 44: I can't see these things with a good heart
Fang Xiu originally wanted to increase the daily slaughter volume, but a suitable slaughterhouse was not so easy to find, and Thomas Hewitt's plan provided him with a new idea.
In addition to mergers and acquisitions, can you also achieve your goals by replacing equipment? A 50 percent increase in efficiency would increase the daily slaughter capacity to 750 heads.
Don't worry about the source of beef cattle, Barry Ranch can provide a batch, and Koval Ranch and Xishui River Ranch can provide another batch.
Old Barry certainly didn't dare to refuse, and so did the other two.
Now the head of the Los Angeles Truckers Union is here, and if they dare not sell, then they will simply stop doing this business in the future.
Lazaru can guarantee that their pasture will not be able to transport even a cow, not a single bag of feed will be brought in, and the cattle in the pasture will be waiting to die!
When the cattle are dead, the rancher can also die, and if they are all bankrupt, why not hang themselves?
But he couldn't agree too quickly, he had to bargain first, so Fang Xiu shook his head, "Councilor De Leon doesn't like to hear about reducing jobs. β
"We still need to be looked after by someone, so we won't be obsolete with regular employees!" Thomas hurriedly responded.
At the same time, I couldn't help but complain in my heart, I don't know the situation of your slaughterhouse, most of the hard work is black work.
These people do not exist in the official employment statistics, and since there are no such people, then what is the talk of reducing jobs?
In order to save costs, you even use child labor, and I don't believe that I am not tempted to see such a good equipment.
"I know very well that the more advanced the production line, the more likely it is to break down, and if something goes wrong, I have to spend money to repair it!" Fang Xiu continued to refuse.
If the equipment is broken, it has to be repaired, and the guy who works in the dark can just drive it away if there is a problem, which is more cost-effective, right? When I don't know how to count!
"We promise to provide free maintenance services for a certain period of time! You don't have to worry about that at all. Thomas continued to pitch.
Affected by the changes in the international machinery and equipment market pattern, the American equipment company where he works has become more and more difficult in recent years.
In the past, they relied on their equipment to be advanced enough that slaughterhouses around the world had to buy from them.
At that time, they all talked with their heads held high in front of the slaughterhouse owner, and they never bargained, our things are so expensive, do you like to buy them or not!
But now it is not possible, other countries are constantly improving their mechanical design and production capacity, while the United States is engaged in deindustrialization.
There is a large loss of capital talents, and the speed of local equipment research and development has been slowing down, and now it has been overtaken by other countries.
They lost the European market first, then the Asian market, and now even the local market is under threat, so Thomas can only forget the golden years of the past for a while, and beg Fang Xiu to be low.
"Ah, Mr. James, your new beard is very handsome." Fang Xiu ignored him at all, and went to greet others with his wine glass.
Thomas didn't dare to get angry yet, so he could only continue to look for opportunities.
When the party was about to end, Fang Xiu expressed a little interest, and when he was excited, he used confusion to ask the reserve price of this production line.
"Thomas, I don't think it's appropriate to pursue profits too much when any new product is first launched, after all, the product has not yet been recognized by the market!"
"Moreover, it is also risky for me to use this equipment! So if you want me to buy this equipment, you have to be sincere! β
What is sincerity, it must be a lower price, a longer warranty time.
After talking a few times before and after, and going to other places to see the actual operation of this set of equipment, Fang Xiu agreed to buy it.
Thomas was about to cry when he signed the contract, but he still had to squeeze out a smile on his face, "Mr. Fang, I will arrange technicians to go to your slaughterhouse now, conduct on-site surveys, and then come up with a perfect installation plan!" β
"Once the plan is finalized, we can dismantle the old production line and replace it with new equipment; I guarantee that the new production line will be installed in no time and will not delay your business! β
Thomas didn't dare to delay, the contract clearly stated that if the installation and commissioning were not completed as scheduled, their company would lose money.
The next day, the equipment company's team entered Fang's slaughterhouse and began to work, and the slaughterhouse began to work overtime, they had to produce enough beef before the old equipment was dismantled.
In this way, Fangxiu can continue to supply to retailers during the installation of new equipment, so as not to steal its own orders from other slaughterhouses.
The team was of good quality and was able to install the new production line before the contracted deadline.
The trial production process was also relatively smooth, and the beef cattle sent by Barry Sr. himself entered from one end of the production line, and when they came out, they became divided beef.
Compared to before, this production line was faster, more efficient, and required fewer manpower, Fang Xiu seemed to see the words +1, +1, +1 ...... constantly popping up on this production line, and then his experience bar was full.
Modern society is good, this production efficiency is very good, you don't need to do it yourself, you can hang up and cultivate, if my former brothers and sisters see it, they won't be jealous to death?
"Mr. Fang, believe me, with this production line, your slaughterhouses will soon be able to change from one to two, two to three, and maybe it won't be long before your slaughterhouses can be all over the United States!" Thomas continued to compliment him, after all, the balance has not been paid, and he has to be coaxed.
"Lend you good words." Fang Xiu also wanted to hurry up, but unfortunately Luke hadn't found a suitable target yet.
The two of them were happy, but the workers in the workshop were worried, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that after using the new production line, Fang's slaughterhouse would not need so many workers.
Then, there will definitely be people who are unemployed and willing to do this, the conditions are not very good, once they are kicked out by Fang Xiu, maybe someone will go bankrupt.
After the trial production was completed, Thomas and others left one after another, and only Fang Xiu and his employees were left in the workshop.
Fang Xiu saw the worry on their faces, so he sighed slightly, hey, these people are also pitiful.
He patted HΓ©ctor on the shoulder, "Come with me to the office!" β
When he arrived at the office, Fang Xiu talked about the problems of the workers, "I have several important social activities these days, and I don't have time to come here; So I'll leave the layoffs to you, and I hope I can see a satisfactory result when I come back! β
Hey, unemployment is so miserable, I can't see it.
