Chapter 1699 Factory
Although Zhou Zhi is the "initiator" of this incident, seeing the deputy governor of the autonomous prefecture being so humble to a former green-skinned doll and the young workers of the county water company, I can't help but feel that things are weird. .
This is also a special phenomenon of this era. Most of the freelancers who go overseas are from a class with low quality and low education level. Their previous occupations were highly substituted and their income was very low.
But this era has given them the opportunity to shine. Many lucky people have accumulated their first pot of gold, further developed quite large industries, and accumulated huge assets.
For example, the three famous pig-raising brothers in Sichuan have steadily worked their way to the top of the rich list.
After more than ten years, the quality of entrepreneurs has generally improved. If someone like Brother Dayong with a junior high school diploma wants to get ahead, it seems... he has to join the Deyun Club.
Brother Dayong was trained well by Sister Xiaojuaner. He doesn’t have the temperament of a nouveau riche. There is no golden thing on his body. However, he still adheres to the old habits of his youth work days and dresses very well. It was thin. When everyone was still wearing thick coats, he wore a light blue shirt jacket and a dark heavy silk khaki. With his hair combed into a slicked back, he looked a bit like Wan Ziliang without dimples.
"How much bank debt does the food factory have now? How many workers and how many cadres are there?" Brother Dayong started with the core question: "How big is the current factory area? What is the existing production capacity? What is the peak production capacity? How much again?”
Li Yutang called him lucky at this moment, because Zhou Zhi told him that He Dayong can be regarded as a person in the world, and his acting style is direct. Therefore, it is his attitude to discuss things as they are, and being fully prepared is the key. Other fancy tricks outside the market are completely irrelevant. You don’t have to.
Sure enough, the data I memorized in advance came in handy.
After listening to Li Yutang's introduction, Brother Dayong said: "Governor Li, we are actually not too satisfied with the situation in Zhengchang. The most dissatisfied point is that there are too many management cadres."
"If you want to We took over Zhengchang and owed money to the bank These debts are just trivial matters. In the factory, these cadres are the big things that will affect the future development of the company."
"Of course we will not say no to all of them, but we have no regard for the management. Appointment has its own set of standards Therefore, for all positions in the factory, we will have the human management subsidiary come to conduct selection and assessment. No matter cadres or workers, they will be treated equally. Only those who pass the selection and assessment can take up management positions. This is the most important thing in the modernization and restructuring of our group. of A principle is also our bottom line. If the state doesn’t even agree with this, I think the next negotiation will be difficult.” Wait, Brother Dayong has fully experienced it.
“The introduction of modern enterprise systems is the key to solving corporate problems. There is a consensus in the state on this point.” Li Yutang said: “The state’s idea is to cut through the mess quickly, and this time the factory must be thoroughly overhauled. The complete transformation will no longer be a drag on the state’s already weak finances.”
"Of course, we are not without advantages here. Jiuzi should have already introduced it to you. We have pure natural green foods - bracken and mountain mushrooms, which can be developed into good health foods. We will arrive at the food factory in a moment. You can see the saltwater mushroom processing production line we introduced.”
There is an old city in the capital of the autonomous prefecture. The old city is shaped into a square shape. Unfortunately, the ancient buildings are gone and there are only some remaining city walls.
Beside a section of the city wall is the Zhengchang Food Processing Company. This company is actually the earliest Zhengchang Sauce Garden. After liberation, it was a public-private partnership, street collective ownership, contract management, and corporatization. Until today, it is insolvent and is waiting for reorganization.
In fact, if the soy sauce factory continues to operate soy sauce and vinegar, there will be no problem at all. But after every major change, the first thing the manager does when he comes to power is to carry out his own showy operation. First, production capacity was blindly expanded, and then the market failed to open up. Then the equipment was idle and loans could not be repaid. In addition, as workers aged and retired, the factory became heavily burdened.
Then they started to restructure, and then they looked for a way out everywhere, and finally failed again. This was an endless cycle, and finally the factory came to the edge of bankruptcy.
The factory’s last attempt to save itself was to introduce a saltwater mushroom production line.
The so-called brine mushroom production line is actually similar to the canned fruit production line, except that the fruits use sugar water, while the mushrooms use salt water.
Fruits are stored in cans, while mushrooms are stored in large food-grade plastic buckets. One bucket can hold thirty kilograms of mushrooms, and the weight of mushrooms can reach fifty kilograms with salt water.
The shelf life of such saltwater mushrooms can be as long as one year. Many restaurants in later big cities that specialize in "mountain delicacies mushroom pot" actually use this kind of mushrooms.
In Zhou Zhi's opinion, such a production line is actually a failure. The only praiseworthy thing about this thing is that it retains the taste and shape of the mushroom, but the taste is completely gone.
Those "foreign dumplings" in big cities who have never seen the world think they are eating delicious and expensive mushroom stew made from fresh wild mushrooms. In fact, the real recipe is partially artificially cultured fresh mushrooms. Mushrooms, plus this, take them out of the salt water and soak them in water The salt-free "water mushrooms" are mixed with a broth made from dried mushrooms, chicken and duck bones, etc. from a more conscientious merchant, and the black heart's direct essence seasoning is added to chicken fat and boiling water, and then served on the table. "Wild Mountain Mushrooms and Old Fire Soup", if you don't charge you six to seven hundred, you don't know how to operate it.
Even so, this production line did not keep up with the good times when mushroom pots were popular in later generations. It was a little ahead of its time. Just from the workers’ lazy and thoughtful canning actions, we knew that this was the case. I am afraid that the production line will not be profitable.
On the contrary, Matsui Zuo and Jin Chunyi were very interested. These two guys were the kind of foreigners Zhou Zhi said. Seeing countless wild mushrooms being treated so roughly, they felt like they were about to have a heart attack.
“These are porcini mushrooms, green mushrooms, russula mushrooms, and chanterelles.” Zhou Zhi explained in a low voice: “They are reluctant to deal with these two precious species, matsutake mushrooms and chicken fir mushrooms, in this way. .”
It’s funny to say that these nouns are so special and technical that Zhou Zhi cannot be found in the English dictionary. On the contrary, the islanders like mushrooms so much that there is no mention of them in Japanese dictionaries.
Especially matsutake, the people of the island country love it to the core, and they search for it all over the world. Then the whole world regards the Japanese matsutake as a standard name, and it has become a "transliterated loanword" in various countries.
At least Zhou Zhi discovered that in the Japanese-English-Chinese dictionary, the pronunciation of this word in Japanese and English is exactly the same.
