Chapter 158 Establishing a Trolley Case Project and Win-Win with Employees
After leaving the financial department, Yang Wendong came to the R&D department on the third floor. This floor is all for the R&D department. At this moment, on the ground on the third floor , there are many rotating mop buckets and mops of different shapes, and there are also many sticky hooks on the wall.
"Yang Sheng, Lao Wei." After seeing Yang Wendong coming, Hong Xuefei immediately ran over to greet him. Then he noticed that the ground was quite messy and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I haven't been here these days. When designing a new spin mop, the sample is a bit messy. "
"It's okay, I just look at the results." Yang Wendong smiled, but still said: "It doesn't matter if it's a little messy, but it can't be too messy. These things are all. Flammable products, be careful of fire. ”
Swivel mops and sticky hooks are different from sticky notes. From the demand side, it is impossible to sell only one shape, and they also need to be placed at the point of sale. Some different types for consumers to choose from;
Therefore, during this period, the entire R&D department was designing two types of products with different shapes.
Hong Xuefei said: "Okay, I will let the brothers pay attention."
Yang Wendong asked again: "How many types of rotating mops and sticky hooks have been designed now?"
< br>Hong Xuefei replied: "Yang Sheng, sticking hooks is relatively simple. We At present, more than 60 shapes have been designed and sent to the market for testing. About 20 types have good sales;
Rotating mops are much more complicated. We have designed 7 models according to different sizes, but the sales volume is not too high. Big difference, almost.”
"Well, okay." Yang Wendong nodded, and then said: "Continue to develop new types. These things are just like towels and brooms. There must be as many types as possible, so as to satisfy the market."
"Understood. "Hong Xuefei said.
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and said to Old Wei: "Let's go, the three of us will go to the office above to discuss some things."
"Okay." Wei Zetao naturally agreed, The same goes for Hong Xuefei.
The three of them soon arrived at the office on the 6th floor, which is Yang Wendong's office. However, when the factory can operate normally, he does not need to come as often as before.
In particular, the media industry will be his focus in the future, and if funds are abundant, it will not be possible to leave them in the bank to earn interest. In a place like Hong Kong, diversifying investments in high-quality investment directions is inevitable.
"Sit over here." Yang Wendong came to the sofa and took out three bottles of mineral water from the side, one for each person.
We are all on our own, so it is usually not that troublesome to get tea or coffee, just mineral water or drinks.
After taking a sip of water, Yang Wendong said: "Old Wei, if I want to make another product, according to my estimation, this product may occupy more injection molding machines than the rotary mop, or even several times more. "Do you think it's okay?"
Wei Zetao and Hong Xuefei looked at each other, and then asked: "Yang Sheng, is this thing big?"
"Yes, much bigger." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Large plastic parts occupy far more equipment resources than small parts, such as sticky hooks. There can be dozens of these small things in one mold, and if the things are small, they cool down quickly, so the production Efficiency is increased exponentially.
The opposite is true for large parts. One mold can only form one large part at one time, and because the parts are large and require a long cooling time, the production capacity must be very slow.
So even if sticky hooks are more popular, the resource consumption of the injection molding machine is still not as high as that of the spin mop, but the profit is much higher.
Wei Zetao thought for a while and said: "It is not impossible if we do it ourselves, but if the demand rises too fast, it will be too late;
Letting many plastic factories in Hong Kong produce for us is the fastest way. If the investment is relatively large, we can form a joint venture or provide certain support in other aspects. "
"Well, that makes sense. Yang Wendong nodded, and then said to Hong Xuefei: "Old Hong, help me get the suitcase over there." "
"Okay. "Hong Xuefei stood up, followed Yang Wendong's direction, walked to a corner of the office, picked up the box, and walked back.
Yang Wendong asked with a smile: "Does it feel heavy? "
Hong Xuefei said: "It's quite heavy, but it's no problem to carry it for a while. ”
Yang Wendong asked again: "What if you take this luggage with you on a business trip to Japan? Or even Europe and the United States? What about that?"
Hong Xuefei sat down again and said with a smile: "Then I will be exhausted on the way. , I definitely won’t bring so much luggage. Except for some daily necessities, I won’t bring them. At worst, I can just buy them when I get there.”
“Yes, that’s the way most people think.” Yang Wendong nodded and said: "But what if we can solve this problem? You have also worked in factories all your life. The things in the factory are very heavy and need to be carried to distant places. What will you do?"
Hong Xuefei thought for a while and replied: "Put it on the car?"
"Well, this is also a method." Yang Wendong paused and said: "Then if there is no car, or there are places where the car cannot get in and out. Convenience, such as the high and low temperature boxes we imported from Japan, how do they solve this problem? ”
"There are wheels under the high and low temperature box." After Hong Xuefei finished speaking, he immediately reacted and asked, "What Yang Sheng means is to install wheels under the suitcase?"
"Yes, there is a wheel. Isn’t it much more convenient?” Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Normal people in previous lives probably didn’t have any special ideas about suitcases. They thought it was a very common and common thing.
But I would never have imagined that today, decades ago, when people traveled, they would carry their boxes with their hands, just like in the movies during the Republic of China;
The only progress was in the 1950s After the development of plastic industry technology, plastic boxes or plastic cloth boxes replaced the heavy wooden boxes or expensive leather boxes.
Wei Zetao thought for a while and said: "Yang Sheng, it is indeed not difficult to add wheels under the plastic box, but how do you pull it or push it? You can't push or pull it with your body bent, right?"
" Good question." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "So this is the problem we need to solve. As long as this problem is solved, it will alleviate the problems of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of tourists."
Afterwards, Yang Wendong pulled the heavy suitcase over, pointed to the side and said: "Here we have a retractable pull rod on this side. When it is not needed, it can be retracted. This will affect the normal use of the suitcase. It’s not big.
When needed, you can pull it out and let one person carry the suitcase normally. What do you think?”
“This” Wei Zetao and Hong Xuefei finished listening. After that, they were all shocked and speechless. Then Hong Xuefei said: "Yang Sheng, this is really a good method, which can reduce the strength of travelers by 80%."
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Having a method is just an idea, but to realize it, you have to rely on your research. There is nothing I can do."
In his previous life, he was not a structural engineer, and he was not familiar with many commonly used things. , he knew there was such a thing; but how the internal structure of these things was realized, he didn't know.
After all, an ordinary normal person would not study these things. Therefore, in this era, he can only come up with his own ideas, but a team of structural design engineers is still needed to solve this problem from a practical perspective.
Hong Xuefei nodded and said: "Okay, I will immediately arrange for people to study how to implement this function."
"Yes." Yang Wendong said: "First, we will establish the project internally, Old Wei. After the project is established, the copies of these materials will be sealed and handed over to Lawyer Zhang for archiving. This way, just in case, our company can be confirmed when needed. He is the first researcher of this idea. ”
At this moment, the trolley suitcase is just a figment of imagination, and naturally there is no way to register a patent, not even a design patent or a creative patent.
In this case, the company's internal data naturally needs to be preserved as evidence of the timeline to avoid special circumstances.
Wei Zetao agreed and said: "Okay, we will establish the project this afternoon, and then I will send it to Lawyer Zhang personally."
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded, and then took the Produce a document and say: "These are the rough sketches I drew. You can refer to them based on these."
Although he didn't know the internal structure of the trolley suitcase, he still knew what it looked like outside.
So he roughly drew it, and there was some introduction next to the picture. This was basically the most information he could provide.
"Okay, Yang Sheng." Hong Xuefei said with a smile after taking the document.
Wei Zetao said with a smile: "Once Yang Sheng comes up with this idea, it is estimated that the entire company will be very busy next year."
"Haha, ideas are ideas, but still, It takes everyone working together to make something happen," Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Wei Zetao nodded and said: "Understood, I will also prepare for production in advance, and leave the supplier's affairs to me."
"Okay, everyone will do their part. "Yang Wendong said.
The research and development of trolley suitcases has been handed over to professional people. The boss, Yang Wendong, will only need to pay attention to it at intervals in the future.
Another week has passed soon, and Christmas in Hong Kong is coming. The entire Changxing Industrial factory is still as busy as ever. The sticky note and adhesive hook injection molding production on the first floor are so busy that all workers are busy. His eyes were also full of energy.
Because Changxing Industrial is different from other factories. The busier the factory, the higher their income and the food they eat is very good.
At noon, everyone went to the canteen in batches. The first batch to go were the female workers on the packaging line.
On the road, everyone was chatting while walking, full of laughter and laughter.
After arriving at the entrance of the cafeteria, the security guard suddenly stopped a few people and said: "The company's new rule is that you are not allowed to bring lunch boxes in. From now on, you are not allowed to take away the food in the cafeteria until you finish it."
< br>"Ah!" The female workers who were stopped were stunned. They still had children at home and were waiting for them to bring delicious food back.
However, they did not dare to say anything. Two days ago, someone was fined 50 yuan for wasting food. After they refused to accept the result, they were directly expelled.
This frightened many people. There were countless people outside trying to get into their current jobs. If some of them were not lucky enough to join the company in its early stages, it would be impossible to find such a person now. Worked.
The security guard said again: "Put the lunch box on this table. The company knows that you want to bring food back, so we made steamed buns in it for everyone;
You can eat it yourself, You can take it back, but from now on, normal meals will not be allowed out of the cafeteria."
"Baozi?" All the female workers looked at each other, and finally placed the lunch boxes neatly on the table before the security guard let them go. Went in.
After walking into the cafeteria, in the opposite corner, there are really many steamed buns, just behind the dining area.
After everyone finished their meal one by one in order, they came to the position of the steamed bun cage. The person who handed out the steamed buns said: "Two for each person, one meat and one vegetarian."
The female workers looked at I couldn't believe the palm-sized buns, but after being urged by the team behind me, I took the buns and found a seat to eat.
“It’s really a meat bun. I poked it with my chopsticks.” A female worker said excitedly: “This is much better than the food we brought back. My son hasn’t eaten meat buns for a long time. I will definitely be happy to see it.”
“Yes, yes.” Several female workers sat together and chatted, but no one ate the buns, but wrapped them in oil paper. Put it aside and take it out later.
At this time, a female worker came over, sat in the last seat, and said: "I just asked the person in charge of logistics, giving out buns is the big boss's intention. He knows that our family There are also children, specially arranged.”
"Big boss, Yang Sheng?" Another female worker asked: "He is so rich, how can he still think of us?"
"Do you think Yang Sheng is another boss?" Another female worker said : "Yang Sheng was born in a squatter house. He used to be poorer than us. Now that he is developed, he will naturally take care of us poor people."
"Yes." A female worker next to him said: "We can It’s such a blessing to find a good boss like Yang Sheng. I hope that when my son grows up, he can work for Yang Sheng.”
“Yes, I hope that Yang Sheng can live a long life. The richer you are, the more people you can recruit.”
On the other side of the cafeteria, Yang Wendong also came here, eating the buns that had just been sent over. He occasionally inspected the food in the cafeteria. of.
Wei Zetao said with a smile: "Yang Sheng, everyone is very grateful to you. I estimate that your move will help everyone do 10% more work in the future."
"It's a win-win situation. I've always I believe that if you treat your employees sincerely, they will work harder." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "It doesn't cost much to make these buns."
Wei Zetao replied: "A few labors, plus a little more." Just flour and vegetables, not much."
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded.
A factory with more than 1,000 employees is still a hugely profitable industry. This cost is almost nothing to worry about.
