Chapter 202 Industrial Park Site Selection and the 1961 Spring Festival
Early February 1961:
Yang Wendong and Su Yiyi came to the factory of Changxing Industrial.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but the whole factory is still very busy.
Wei Zetao also accompanied the boss and his wife to the workshop and introduced them one by one.
After walking through a workshop, Yang Wendong asked: "In terms of production and quality, I remember there have been seven or eight foreign complaints in the past six months. How can we improve the latter area?"
Changxing Industrial's current situation The product is sold to many overseas countries. Although the product is simple, there will always be problems if the quantity is too large.
In particular, many products are produced by suppliers. Even if the terminal is controlled by Changxing Industrial's assembly factory, the outflow of problematic products cannot be avoided.
Therefore, Yang Wendong will not care about or pursue ordinary minor problems, but if there are major complaints, he will also pay attention to them. Over at the headquarters office, the team in charge of Changxing Industrial will sort them out every time Quality problems will be reported to Yang Wendong.
In the second half of last year, Changxing Industrial had several major complaints, mainly about sticky notes.
Wei Zetao replied: "In response to several previous complaints, we have made a detailed analysis based on the problems, and then based on the conclusions, we will take measures to avoid similar things from happening."
"But this It can only be the same problem." Yang Wendong asked again: "You can't do nothing about unknown problems and just wait for them to appear?"
Managing a factory is a very complicated subject. If you want to be a great company, in addition to having cross-generational creativity, you must also have strong management capabilities and quality control capabilities.
Otherwise, even if it is a popular product like Apple in the previous life, if one out of 100,000 pieces explodes and hurts someone, the entire Apple brand will have to stop. Steve Jobs has incredible inventive ability. Nope either.
My own sticky notes, suitcases, etc., don’t have similar safety issues, but the corporate quality culture needs to be established, because Hong Kong is about to begin to develop the electronics industry rapidly. By then, he It is impossible to miss this cake.
Wei Zetao then said with a smile: "We have hired 6 Chinese quality engineers from large Japanese car companies such as Toyota and Hongda (Honda). In the future, they will build the company's quality management system.
Although we are far from the automotive products, some aspects can still be used universally.”
“Well, it’s really good to learn from engineers in the automotive industry.” Yang Wendong nodded. , and then said: "This must be formed into a system and a rule, just like the company culture.
In addition, after we become proficient here, we will also assist our suppliers to improve quality. , when the quality of suppliers is good, we can be more assured.”
The scale of Changxing Industrial is actually not low in Asia, and several products are also popular in many places. .
In this case, it is much more convenient to go to some large companies in Europe, America and Japan to recruit people, unlike in the early days when it was difficult to ask for people.
"Okay, Yang Sheng." Wei Zetao agreed quickly and said: "On the supplier side, we will continue to ask them to improve."
After walking for a while, Yang Wendong asked: "What gifts are you going to give to your employees during the Chinese New Year this year?"
According to the habits of Yang Wendong in his previous life, most companies will give gifts to their employees during the four festivals, such as mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Giving rice dumplings, duck eggs, etc. during the Dragon Boat Festival is even more important before the Chinese New Year.
After the establishment of Changxing Industrial, even in the early stages of development, he always distributed the most basic food to employees. This has become the culture of Changxing Industrial and even the entire Changxing Group.
Wei Zetao replied: "This year's New Year, each factory worker will receive a 50-yuan red envelope, plus 20 kilograms of rice noodles, 5 kilograms of bacon, a salted chicken, a barrel of oil and a bag of salt."
" There are quite a lot of things." Yang Wendong smiled, this is much more than last year.
Wei Zetao said with a smile: "The company's profits this year are much higher than last year. In fact, the funds you approved before were twice as much as last year, so we replaced them with the simplest "
"Okay, it's better to switch to food. Virtual things are good." Yang Wendong nodded and asked, "Will purchasing so many materials affect the market?"
Today, Changxing Industrial's factory has more than 3,000 people purchasing so many materials at one time. , it may not affect the entire Hong Kong market, but it is hard to say near Tsim Sha Tsui.
"No." Wei Zetao shook his head and said, "We have discussed directly with China Resources Group. They will introduce these materials from the mainland and then send them directly to our factory."
"China Resources?" Yang Wendong also rarely heard this. Most people in the past life basically know this state-owned enterprise due to its familiar name.
Wei Zetao explained: "Yes, most of the food in Hong Kong comes from the mainland. China Resources Group is the company responsible for the import and export business in the mainland."
"Yes, I understand. "Yang Wendong said.
In this era, the mainland has no source of foreign exchange, and its main foreign exchange relies on Hong Kong’s material needs.
After everyone walked around for a while, Yang Wendong became familiar with the factory again. Some employees he met on the road, some of whom knew Yang Wendong, also greeted him politely.
Everyone looks at Yang Wendong with gratitude and respect. Working here gives them hope in their lives.
......
After returning to the office, Yang Wendong asked: "How is the address of the Future Industrial Park over in Kwun Tong?"
Although this The matter has not yet been decided, and even if it is settled, the position will need to be negotiated with the Hong Kong government, but you can also choose a few suitable ones first and negotiate with the Hong Kong government in the future.
As for Changxing Real Estate, just continue to acquire. Even if the Ten Thousand Industrial Park project is not completed, you will never lose money by investing in real estate at this time.
"Currently, I am optimistic about three places." Wei Zetao took out a map from his side, pointed at the three circled places and said, "Look, Yang Sheng, the distance between these three locations and the seaside does not count. It’s far away, the traffic is okay, and the ground is pretty good, relatively speaking, it’s relatively flat, and we can build a large industrial park similar to Japan.”
Yang Wendong looked at the location and asked: “A place like this should be built. Are there people already living there?”
Wei Zetao said: “Yes, there are some villages. If we want to build a factory here, we need to demolish them and leave. These three places, at least, are It will involve 200 households, with the maximum being more than 600 households.
However, the location is better in places with more households, so the specific location will need to be negotiated with the Hong Kong government. ”
"Normally, most people would prefer to go to a place with a good location." Yang Wendong smiled and asked, "When are you going to tell the Hong Kong government about this?"
Wei Zetao replied: "It depends on what you mean, Yang Sheng? Is Zheng Sheng still acquiring properties in Kwun Tong?"
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "He doesn't know how to spend time there either. Very long. Many of the properties listed now are accumulated slowly over a long period of time. They are acquired in a short period of time;
Once the suitable ones are almost acquired, new properties for sale will be released later. Not so fast. Once you decide on these three positions, I will notify him and ask him to complete it as soon as possible in February. Then you can prepare to negotiate with the Hong Kong government.”
"Okay." Wei Zetao agreed: "Then I will prepare for the end of February. It is estimated that this matter will be in a state of confidential negotiation in the early stage, and Zheng Sheng can also be given more time;
But Yang Sir, this matter was raised by your friend. I think it is better to communicate with the Hong Kong government through your friend.”
“Of course, this matter itself was raised by the Hong Kong government first. "Yang Wendong agreed: "It's just that my friend just wants me to invest a little, but we will invest in a big one. "
The Hong Kong government needs to solve the work problem of a large number of refugees, and it needs to create a position for itself. In an industrial park concentrated together, both parties can benefit from each other.
But whether it is business cooperation or cooperation between enterprises and the government, just like when young men and women fall in love, whoever confesses his love first will be inferior.
As for Elena, her purpose is to help homeless people and she doesn't care about the outcome of the talks between the Hong Kong government and Yang Wendong. This doesn't count as taking advantage of her friends.
"Okay, then I will prepare the relevant information first." Wei Zetao said.
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
February 14th:
This day is not only Valentine’s Day in the West, but also the Thirty Nights for Chinese people:
Basically, everyone within the Changxing Group has gone on holiday. Only Changxing Industrial, because of its heavy production tasks, has chosen the policy of double wages, extra red envelopes, and holidays after the holidays to attract workers to come to work.
Not everyone wants to take a break during the Chinese New Year. Many people who come to Hong Kong are alone and may just want to make money. It doesn’t matter which day they rest, so it is better to make more money during the Chinese New Year. Rest again.
Or those with families need to support their families and need more money. Yang Wendong’s policy is also voluntary. Although it occupies a dominant position, if there are not enough people, then more money will be added to let workers work overtime.
It's very domineering, but the workers don't like it either.
……
In the morning, Yang Wendong came to Kwun Tong with Su Yiyi and his former playmates and entrepreneurial veterans Lin Haoyu and Zhao Liming.
A few people were walking on the streets of Kwun Tong, eating roadside delicacies and looking at the scenery.
Su Yiyi said: "Brother Dong, this Kwun Tong doesn't feel as good as Tsim Sha Tsui."
"It's a little worse." Yang Wendong nodded.
Even if Tsim Sha Tsui does not have him, it will still become the commercial center of Hong Kong in the future. Kwun Tong will be much worse. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was regarded as one of the industrial centers of Hong Kong, and After the new century, there are still many abandoned industrial buildings.
However, this is in line with the current requirements of Changxing Industrial. There is a large population gathering, a lot of open land, and the transportation is not bad. If this place can be built into its own industrial center in the future, the economy will naturally be better; < br>
As for Tsim Sha Tsui, I also own a lot of land there. It would be good to let it develop into a future commercial center. And the Post-it Note Factory is not planning to move away, so it can retain a lot of industry.
Zhao Liming next to him asked: "Brother Dong, are you planning to invest in real estate here? I heard that Changxing Real Estate has recently acquired a large number of properties here?"
"Really?" Yang Wendong Nothing was explained.
The affairs of the Ten Thousand People Industrial Park are kept confidential. However, it is impossible to protect the actions of Changxing Real Estate, but it is okay for outsiders to know. The real estate company itself has to choose a place to invest, and it is the choice to view. Tang, others just think this investment decision is a bit strange and don't think much about it.
Lin Haoyu said with a smile: "What's the matter, Liming, you also want to buy a house in Kwun Tong? Brother Dong has a good sense. Anyway, you are not ready to get married, so you should just invest with Brother Dong."
< br>"That's not possible." Zhao Liming shook his head and said: "I will also go to Hong Kong Island to buy a house in the future. I will wait for Brother Dong's next real estate project and then take a look."
"Okay, I will give you the highest discount. Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Su Yiyi asked: "Haoyu, when do you plan to get married?"
Lin Haoyu said: "It will be almost done when the house is handed over to the Tixiang Family."
"Okay, when the time comes, I will prepare a big gift for you." Yang Wendong smiled, then looked at Liming and asked: "Li Ming, have you dated a girlfriend?"
"This ." Zhao Liming hesitated for a while and said: "Let's talk about it, right?"
Su Yiyi asked: "To talk about it is to talk about it, and if it doesn't happen, it means nothing. What does it mean to forget about it?"
Lin Haoyu said with a smile: "Sister Yiyi, you don't know, Liming is dating two people at the same time, it's so troublesome."
Zhao Liming said quickly: "Nonsense, I'm not sure about the relationship, I just haven't decided yet. Come down.”
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "That's great, Liming, but don't harm other girls."
"Don't worry, I'm a good person." Zhao Liming said.
Yang Wendong said: "Set it as soon as possible and get married early. After we have children, it will be fun for everyone to play together in the future."
Once a person gets married, no matter how good friends he was before, We won’t have much contact with each other, unless we both have children, which is fine.
At noon, a few people had lunch at a restaurant in Kwun Tong, and then went to look at several surrounding areas. These places were exactly what Wei Zetao chose, and the purpose of Yang Wendong's visit to Kwun Tong was also For this, take a look live.
But only Su Yiyi and him knew about this.
In the afternoon, after the sun was about to go down, Yang Wendong called the security personnel who had been following him, sent out separate cars, and sent everyone home.
After arriving at her villa, Aunt Guo had already arranged for the chef to prepare dinner.
After helping her daughter, Aunt Guo said: "Yiyi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, so it's better not to walk too far."
Before Yang Wendong could speak, Su Yiyi said: "Ah Mom, you can’t stay around every day, right? You were still in refuge when you were pregnant with me.”
"Okay, you're right." Aunt Guo couldn't convince her daughter.
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Okay, normal life should still be maintained. Let's go, we are celebrating the Spring Festival."
