Because the salary promised by Changda Company is higher than that of other rubber companies, when Da Liu and other old students resigned from their original units, they also brought over forty or fifty old employees with great operating experience, and these more than 50 old workers from other rubber companies have become the production backbone of Changda Company's new projects.

Before the new project was officially put into production, Guan Yuntian changed the name of Changda Company to Changda Group Company, and at the same time established a cord fabric branch and a rubber tire branch, and appointed Da Liu as the manager of the rubber tire branch.

Although it is the responsibility of the technology transferor to train new employees, Guan Yuntian would rather pay an extra month's salary and let Liu enter Changda Company one month in advance, considering the role of the old employees in teaching by word and deed.

Sure enough, under the leadership of experienced veteran workers, the training work was twice the result with half the effort, and in only two weeks, 95 percent of the hundreds of new workers who had never been in contact with tire production passed the assessment and obtained their employment certificates.

The subsequent equipment commissioning and trial production process were smooth, and with the joint efforts of both parties, the new project was officially put into operation one month earlier than the original plan.

At the beginning, in order to facilitate the training of new employees, Guan Yuntian asked Da Liu to intervene a month in advance, speaking of which, it was to cooperate with Party B's work, Changda Company was equivalent to spending an extra month's salary for Da Liu and other forty or fifty people, and some people thought it was not worth it.

Now that it has been officially put into production one month ahead of schedule, the benefits produced by this kind of project in one month are comparable to the wages of 120,000 yuan!

Liu and others brought experience, so that Changda Tire Branch in both production and sales, have taken a lot of detours, Liu also introduced a relative of him in the sales department of the original tire factory as a business manager to Changda Group, this Xiao He manager became the sales manager of Changda Group Tire Branch.

With the completion and commissioning of the tire project, it has in turn promoted the development of the group's internal cord fabric business, which is a very competitive product, and the market has been saturated in recent years, and there is almost no room for development.

After the tire project is put into production, a large number of cord fabrics are needed as auxiliary materials for tire manufacturing, which not only expands the scope of production and sales of cord fabrics within the company, but also reduces the cost of tire production, after all, it belongs to the same company, and the raw materials required are always much cheaper than buying in the market, which in turn lays a cost price advantage for tire sales.

This kind of upstream and downstream relationship between raw materials and products is rare in the same industry.

After the first phase of the project is put into operation, it is catching up with the automobile industry to be listed as a national pillar industry, which is also a major benefit to the tire industry!

Half a year later, Changda Group Tire Branch launched the second and third phases of the project one after another, and in one and a half years, it reached the production scale of 600,000 semi-steel all-steel radial tires per year, which belongs to the middle and upper level in the domestic industry.

After the project was completed and put into operation, Guan Yuntian communicated with relevant experts from the Provincial Rubber Design Institute, and the other party believed that the tire industry should reach the scale of one million pieces per year, which can be regarded as a more reasonable economic scale.

In less than two years, the production scale has reached 600,000, even in Fuyuan County, the hometown of tires, such a speed, such a scale, is also praised, Guan Yuntian is also a little ambitious. However, the opinions of the experts made Guan Yuntian, who was originally a little floating, suddenly sober up a lot, and he asked his good friend Li Changjin, who is also an expert in rubber tires, to verify the opinions of the Provincial Rubber Design Institute, and Lao Li's views are almost completely consistent with the experts of the Design Institute.

Without achieving a reasonable economic scale, of course, it is impossible to achieve the best economic benefits, which does not need to ask experts, Guan Yuntian can make his own judgment.

"In this way, do you think it is necessary for Changda Group to get the scale to one million?" Guan Yuntian asked Li Changjin.

"Mr. Guan, the economic scale of one million is calculated theoretically, and in practice, few companies follow such a statement. You must know that the tire manufacturing industry is a high-energy consumption industry, if it reaches a production scale of one million, the annual electricity consumption will be an astronomical amount, and without its own power plant, the local power supply bureau may not support you. Li Changjin said the problems faced by continuing to expand production.

"Oh, electricity is a problem. Owning a power plant ----, may not be easy, and you're right. Guan Yuntian muttered to himself.

After talking to Li Changjin, Guan Yuntian knew that things were not simple, but he had no intention of giving up at all, "If you can't reach the scale of the economy, it's no different from watching the benefits drain!"

When they met with friends from the county association again, the two directors were impressed by the efficiency of Changda Company, "I didn't expect you to build the third phase of the project in less than two years, you know, other tire companies in Fuyuan County have reached the scale of annual output of four or five hundred thousand, and it generally takes three or four years." Lao Sun, the leader of the Associated Press, praised.

"Back to the leadership, the project of Changda Group has caught up with a good time, the automobile industry is now the pillar industry of the country, and the tire industry has also ushered in the spring of industry development.

"It's also said that Yuntian has always been good at seizing opportunities, seizing opportunities, and when you encounter such a good opportunity, with your character, of course you will not let it go. "Lao Chang, deputy director of the Associated Press, is very good friends with Guan Yuntian, and they know each other very well.

"Don't put a top hat on me, two leaders, I can't do anything without your support. ”

Guan Yuntian mentioned in passing the advice of relevant experts on the optimal economic scale, and also mentioned the matter of captive power plants.

"Why, isn't the scale of the current annual output of 600,000 yuan big enough?" asked Lao Sun.

"There is no rule on the size of the scale, and experts have proved through theoretical calculations and practice that the best economic scale is to produce 1 million per year. ”

"We're laymen and don't understand what the optimal manager size means. "It's the same old way.

"The so-called optimal economic scale refers to the production, management, water, electricity, steam and other factors of the enterprise in the best proportion, in the production process of the enterprise, all the factors of production are the best efficiency, in this case, the production cost of the product is the lowest. Experts estimate that the cost of producing a tire per tire could be reduced by 10 percent at the best economies of scale. Guan Yuntian explained.

"Listen to what you mean, do you still want to continue to expand production?" Chang Chang knows Guan Yuntian's style of doing things.

"What is the concept of reducing costs by 10 percent on the existing basis? If I don't want to say it, it's that I'm lying in front of my leaders. But ......" Guan Yuntian wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Yuntian, you want to say that you need funds to expand production, right?" said Guan Yuntian's words that were difficult to say.

"Not only does the expansion require funds, according to an industry expert and a friend of mine, if the scale reaches one million, the electricity consumption is huge, the county power supply bureau may be difficult to agree to match, maybe enterprises need to build their own power plants, if this is the case, the construction of self-supplied power plant funds, may be more than the project itself expansion of funds. This factor is also the reason why Guan Yuntian is difficult to talk about in front of the two leaders of the Associated Press.

"Ouch, if you really want to implement this step, you need a lot of funds! Yuntian, we are friends, I will open the window and say bright words, even the project expansion with the construction of its own power plant, with the strength of the county association, we may not be able to meet your financial needs, after all, the county association can not only support a unit of Changda company, you say, right?"

Originally, the county association shoulders the heavy responsibility of supporting the county's urban and rural economic construction, and it is impossible to lend a lot of funds to an enterprise of Changda Company, so whether it is for the consideration of risk control or the requirements for financial institutions to shoulder social responsibility, it is not compliant.

Through the past few years of communication, Guan Yuntian has not only become a good buddy with Lao Chang, the deputy director of the Associated Press, but even with Lao Sun, the number one leader, and there is no taboo to talk in front of them.

After thinking about it, Guan Yuntian stiffened his head and said: "But the temptation of expanding production is really too great! After listening to the advice of the experts, I also made calculations, not counting the original profits, only the cost reduced after reaching the economic scale, that is, the extra profits due to the cost reduction, within five to ten years, we can recover the funds invested in expansion and self-supplied power plants with profits." Without the support of financial institutions, I can only watch this large chunk of profit drain from front of me. ”

Lao Sun lowered his head and thought about it for a while, he suddenly looked up at Guan Yuntian, "Such a big thing, it is unrealistic to rely on the county association alone, Yuntian, is there still any contact with President Liu of the Agricultural Bank of China in the past two years?"

"President Liu----, after you introduced me the year before last, I visited him a few times, but in the past year, due to my busy affairs, I rarely visited him. ”

"Oh----, if you want to implement the expansion, I suggest you should visit President Liu of the Agricultural Bank of China. "This is Lao Sun's suggestion.

"Well, it's time to visit him, you two leaders should come with me. ”

Of course, Guan Yuntian knows the truth that "the master leads the door to practice in the individual", but if he wants to visit President Liu, he should invite the introducer to go with him from the etiquette, and as for whether they are willing to follow, it is their own business.

"If you go to Lao Liu to do something, we won't follow. "I always push things off.

Dealing with President Liu of the Agricultural Bank of China, eating and drinking is commonplace, and judging from the situation of the wine bureau, this Lao Liu doesn't seem to be very keen on drinking, after several contacts, Guan Yuntian feels that Lao Liu belongs to the more literate kind, it is said that he was recommended to go to college in the seventies, anyway, he also studied for a few days.

Through prior contact, he learned that Lao Liu was in the unit and prepared some meeting gifts, Guan Yuntian went straight to Lao Liu's office of the Agricultural Bank. They are already acquaintances with each other, and after a few words of greeting, Lao Liu personally made a cup of tea for Guan Yuntian.

"President Liu, isn't there a meeting today? I hope I didn't disturb you. "Knowing that this kind of unit often holds meetings, Guan Yuntian has nothing to say.

"Don't say it, even if you're in a hurry, you finally didn't arrange a meeting for me today, otherwise you won't be able to see me during work hours. "It seems that the parties are also tired of the endless meetings.
