Chapter 78 Full preparation
In the past half month, the interior of Changxing Industrial Factory has been very busy.
The sticky mouse board once received a large number of orders from the United Kingdom and Japan, but there has been a lot less. Although winter has not yet arrived in these two places, dealers still have inventory.
The only thing we rely on are a few companies engaged in Southeast Asian trade, but the total volume is far less than before.
Of the 126 workers, only 50 are still producing sticky mouse boards in a low-capacity mode.
Others are making sticky notes by hand to meet the needs of more and more companies in Hong Kong today.
In the small workshop office, Su Yiyi calculated the account books quickly, then raised her head, looked at Yang Wendong and said: "Brother Dong, we have invested almost 10,000 yuan in recent times. If this continues, we won’t be able to bear it.”
“Let me take a look.” After hearing this, Yang Wendong took Su Yiyi’s account book, looked at it, and said, “This is a time investment. It's quite big, but it's all worth it.
The current inventory of sticky mouse boards can't be exchanged for money. When the weather gets warmer in Japan and Europe next spring, they can be sold at once. , and I have also found two traders in the United States."
Su Yiyi said: "Well, the financial pressure is still too great, the Japanese equipment should be arriving soon, right?"
"It's almost there. It will be here with us in a few days." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "As long as the equipment is debugged and things can be produced quickly, we will have a cash cow. The pressure during this period is indeed too great. "It's big."
Su Yiyi said with a smile: "That's because Brother Dong is so kind. Even if there is pressure, there are no layoffs, and the quality of the food that everyone eats has not been reduced."
Yang Wendong shook his head and smiled Said: "The reason why I don't lay off employees is because I know that it's just stressful, but it won't affect the company's survival; moreover, we also need people to make sticky notes and sticky mouse pads to make money in the future.
Otherwise, if we really go to the company When life and death are at stake, I will not be soft-hearted. The ancients said that kindness does not control soldiers, and the same is true in business. You must learn more. "
"Compassion does not control soldiers? It makes sense. "This is the first time Su Yiyi heard this idiom.
Yang Wendong smiled and asked: "How have you been learning Chinese characters with Liming and Haoyu recently?"
Su Yiyi said: "We can almost understand some of the contents in the newspaper through the dictionary, but some contents, Even if I know all the words, I still don’t understand what they mean.”
Yang Wendong nodded and said, “It’s normal. I don’t understand some of them. It’s enough that you can see some basic meanings. There will be plenty of time in the future. , take your time, now Being able to read the general meaning of the newspaper is already very impressive.”
“No way, it’s far worse than Brother Dong.” Su Yiyi said, “Brother Dong communicated with Elena last time. time, they are all using English, even though I can’t understand it I understand, but I also know that being able to communicate with a ghost is very powerful."
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "It's just that I can barely communicate, but for the time being, it's enough. .
In the future, after you have mastered Chinese, you will also need to learn English. Hong Kong is now run by the British. If you want to get into a high position, you must know English. "
"Ah, do you still need to learn English? I only know 26 letters. "Zhao Liming, who had been beside him, asked in surprise.
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Yes, you must learn, including some professional knowledge. When the economic conditions in the factory get better next year, I will We need professional teachers to teach you, and I will occasionally participate. "
Zhao Liming asked: "Why? Those ghost guys, don’t they all speak Chinese when I see them? "Yang Wendong said: "Gui Lao is the manager of Hong Kong. They all know Chinese. Do you think we can live in Hong Kong without learning English?
Besides, the main market for our products is overseas. Forget about those European languages or Japanese, international languages such as English are a must. ”
Even if Hong Kong returns after 1997, or even in other places that are not former British colonies, English will be very important.
There is no way. The United States and England have only been the global leaders for hundreds of years. The influence of English in the world is too great. In addition, among Western languages, English is really difficult. The lowest.
“Oh.” Zhao Liming also felt that it made sense.
Yang Wendong added: "Although our current life is much better than that of the squatters before, it is still far from enough. You have also seen the big buildings and villas on Hong Kong Island. Could it be that Don’t want to live in those places?
But if you want to live in that kind of place, you have to rely on ability. Learning basic language and basic work skills is the foundation. If you have these, you may not be successful. Without these, it is absolutely impossible to succeed. ”
No matter how good you study, you may not succeed, but if you don’t study, it is absolutely impossible to succeed;
Learning here does not refer to school, but the entire society and life process No matter what you study, if you choose a direction and work hard, you will have a high probability of success.
Many people in later generations even say that choice is more important than hard work. Isn’t it also determined by ability and vision? It’s not something I’m born with.
“I don’t want to live in Hong Kong anymore. The environment I live in now could be a little better. Zhao Liming thought for a while and then said, "Brother Dong should live there in the future." ”
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "You will also change in the future."
People will change. When you are poor, you feel that your lifelong ideal is to have enough to eat; but if you really want to achieve this goal, There will be a next target.
As long as we seize a few opportunities in the future, our own industry will be able to grow in scale. By then, it will no longer be possible to operate as a small workshop like it is now, and it will be inevitable to introduce foreign talents.
As for his brothers who used to follow him, he naturally wants to take them with him, but it is definitely not just to improve their positions, but to find ways to improve their abilities so that they can match their positions in the company. Get a foothold.
Of course, if that doesn’t work, then just let them go out and work as rent collectors on their own. Living a carefree life is also a way of life.
Time soon came to the end of the month, and the equipment from Japan finally came out of the port; this was also thanks to An Yongqiang, who was a senior executive at the terminal and had some connections.
Subsequently, Japanese engineers stationed in Hong Kong came to provide guidance for a day, and also explained some basic information and after-sales service.
In the afternoon, after the Japanese engineers left, Yang Wendong said to a young man: "Along, you are the only one who has received professional training for this equipment, and I will rely on you from now on."
Aaron nodded and said, 'Okay, Brother Dong, don't worry. ’
Yang Wendong said: “Okay, you guys try it tonight, and start tomorrow, give me full production.”
PS: There will be more in the afternoon, please give me a monthly pass!
