Chapter 156 Personnel changes in Nanshan

Building a steel plant is naturally not that simple.

There are many things that need to be coordinated, and I think I need to arrange for a more trustworthy person to work with Shaogang to promote this project.

After much thought, Cao Yang arranged for Zhang Fugui to go there.

With Nanshan's development now, Zhang Fugui's ability and courage have obviously fallen behind.

Especially for the position of sales director, he is no longer qualified.

As for the position of the director of the purchasing department, he can continue to work and we will see what happens later.

"Mr. Cao, I already have a lot on my plate now. If I were to take charge of the sales department again, I'm afraid it would delay things."

Zeng Tingting naturally knew that if she wanted to further develop in Nanshan, it would be best for her to go to production or sales and become the head of a department, otherwise her path to advancement would be restricted.

However, as assistant to the general manager, this position is also very critical, and she doesn't want to give up.

"From now on, you should focus your energy on the sales department as much as possible. During this time, you can help me recruit a secretary."

"Then the Human Resources Department also asked the deputy minister to take over, and at the same time, we tried to find ways to recruit middle-level managers from several large international factories to be responsible for quality, production management, and factory management."

"Nanshan is gradually getting bigger now, but there are still too few talents available."

As the stall grew larger, Cao Yang found that he had too few people available.

Nanshan’s foundation is still a bit weak.

"Actually, when it comes to talents, I think Mr. Cao, you can ask Dean Xiang. As the dean of the university, he has students and former officials all over the world, so he must have some suitable candidates."

Zeng Tingting feels that her boss has not been going to Lingnan Normal University recently, which is not a good use of resources.

The teachers in the school may only have rich theoretical experience but not practical knowledge, so it would be inappropriate to invite them to do production management and the like.

But there are always some suitable candidates for the students of these teachers.

In particular, Lingnan University of Technology is the best engineering university in South China. As long as it is a well-known company in the south, there must be alumni of Lingnan University of Technology.

If this resource is not properly utilized, it is really a waste.

"This is a good idea. It just so happens that I haven't gone to see Dean Xiang for a while."

Cao Yang was a man of action. After hearing what Zeng Tingting said, he immediately contacted Xiang Changle.

"Xiao Cao, this dragon has never seen its end. Has it made any big noise recently?"

When Cao Yang appeared in Xiang Changle's office, the other party was still very happy.

After accepting this student, he learned something about the situation of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

The more I learn about this, the more I feel that my choice is the right one.

Nanshan is definitely a potential stock.

"Teacher, let's not talk about it. There are really a lot of things going on in Nanshan during this period, which makes me a little busy."

"First, we made a breakthrough in the 6AT gearbox and obtained an order from Ford; then we made plans for the construction of the second phase of Nanshan Industrial Park."

"I even went to Shaogang a few days ago and asked them to help us build a special steel processing plant."

"No, the stalls in Nanshan are getting bigger and bigger. I'm here to ask for help."

In front of Xiang Changle, Cao Yang naturally had nothing to hide.

Besides, I came here to ask for help today.

Without explaining the situation clearly and not letting Xiang Changle see the bright future of Nanshan, he would not have the confidence to promote talents.

"Is 6AT already capable of mass production?"

"Has Professor Ji Hua developed a very mature 6AT gearbox before?"

Xiang Changle is very aware of the difficulty of gearboxes, especially the 6AT automatic gearbox, which is not something that ordinary companies can develop.

Although he felt that he had already thought highly of Nanshan, he now found that he still did not think highly enough.

"This is one aspect. We have accumulated some experience before, which is also very important."

"Now the gearbox factory has entered the equipment installation stage, and some workers and technicians are also being recruited and trained."

“But senior managers are still very lacking in Nanshan.”

"Whether it's production site management, quality management, or human resources management."

"Faced with the current situation, many of Nanshan's original managers are unable to keep up with the pace."

"So I came here today and I was thinking, teacher, do you know any suitable people who can fill this position?"

Xiang Changle could understand what Cao Yang said.

Nanshan was originally a small factory with 200 people, but now it has more than 1000 people.

And there are a large number of R&D technicians among them.

伴随着南山工业园的投产，南山的人员规模会很快的突破1500、2000、3000，甚至5000、1万。

In this case, management is an issue that needs to be taken seriously.

Otherwise, no matter how advanced Nanshan's technology is, the products produced by then may not be of high quality.

This is a situation Cao Yang doesn't want to see.

"How big can your Nanshan's turnover be this year, and what's the profit situation?"

"I have to consider Nanshan's situation and think about whether there is a suitable candidate."

Xiang Changle was naturally willing to help Cao Yang.

But he has many students, many of whom work in large companies.

He also has to be responsible for other students.

"There is no problem that the auto parts business will exceed 10 billion this year. Including equipment and molds, the total should be about 12 billion."

"As for the profit rate, the gross profit is relatively high, but due to the relatively large investment in equipment, the final net profit will not be particularly high."

"But it is also higher than the average domestic private enterprises, which can reach about 10 points."

"However, teacher, although Nanshan's business scale this year is only about 12 billion, it will be different next year."

"The 6AT we are cooperating with Ford Motor Company will begin delivery in the first half of next year."

"Ultimately, there will be no problem with next year's turnover doubling this year's, or even exceeding 50 billion."

"By then, Nanshan will be among the best in the entire Yangcheng industrial field."

When Cao Yang said this, Xiang Changle felt confident.

A private enterprise with a scale of 50 billion, an astonishing development speed, and great potential can still attract a group of high-end talents to join.

With enough profits, Nanshan can also offer a fairly good salary package.

Of course, if it is higher than countries like the United States, the pressure will still be great.

This requires careful screening of suitable personnel.

Xiang Changle took out a notebook and flipped through it for a while before he said, "I have thought of a few candidates. I can help ask them if they are interested."

"One is the head of the assembly workshop at a Ford Motor factory. His parents are old and unwilling to go abroad."

"I met him once last year. He seemed to be interested in returning to China, but he just didn't find a suitable position."

"Another one is a department head in the Quality Management Department of Japanese Toyota Motor. He has been in this position for more than ten years, but because he is Chinese, he has never been able to be promoted to section chief."

"I think if you let him serve as the director of the quality department of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., it should still be attractive to him."

"As for the personnel with human resources and financial understanding, there are relatively few of my students engaged in this field of business. When the time comes, I will ask your wife for help. She is a teacher in the accounting department and should be familiar with personnel in this area."

Xiang Changle spoke slowly and unhurriedly, but Cao Yang next to him said anxiously: "Teacher, if a Chinese can be the head of the assembly workshop in the Ford Motor Company of America, his skills must be excellent."

"As long as he comes to Nanshan, I can let him serve as the deputy general manager in charge of production, sorting out and re-planning the production sites of all our factories."

"As for my senior fellow in the Toyota Motor Quality Department, the position of head of the Quality Department of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. is also vacant."

"I can't guarantee that the salary we offer will be much higher than what he does now, but I can guarantee that after they come to Nanshan, they will definitely earn more money in their lifetime than before."

"Even in the future, when Nanshan develops and expands, they will serve as branch heads in various places and become talents who can be valued by the locals."

Generally, when small companies poach talents from large companies, they will either double their salary or provide incentives in terms of equity.

But it is difficult for Nanshan to fully achieve both of these aspects.

Now whether in the United States or Japan, the salary itself is many levels higher than that in China.

Offering the same salary is already a huge pressure on Nanshan, and doubling it is unrealistic.

It's not that Cao Yang can't afford the money, nor is he reluctant to do so, but this will completely break the original salary system and bring many uncertainties.

If more than ten years had passed, this influence would have been much weaker.

As for equity incentives, Cao Yang has no ideas in this regard for the time being.

After Nanshan develops and expands in the future, it may be considered to provide some appropriate dividend incentives to managers.

But as for shares, Cao Yang has no ideas in this regard for the time being.

"It would be best if there is a suitable candidate for Master's wife."

"Candidates related to human resources and finance don't have to have study abroad experience."

“Experience in a large enterprise is fine.”

Cao Yang told Xiang Changle all his opinions in one breath.

Xiang Changle was also quite happy to see that Cao Yang trusted his recommendation so much and promised the position of deputy general manager and director of the quality department without even knowing the person's name or specific situation.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as trust in him.

And the two students he recommended were indeed people he had just thought about and compared, and felt that they had good character, strong work ability, rich experience, and were likely to go to Nanshan.

Otherwise, if you just randomly find a few students from large overseas companies, they may not be interested in Nanshan.

The automobile industry is different. If you do some casual research, you can better understand what is going on in Nanshan.

"No problem. Compared with production site management and quality management personnel, I think finance and personnel should be easier to recruit."

“Talents related to liberal arts are relatively abundant in China.”

After Xiang Changle finished speaking, he added: "I will give you the contact information of those two students later, and I will also want to say hello to them later."

"No problem, I will contact them personally when the time comes."

After settling the matter of staff recommendation, Cao Yang did not continue to dwell on this topic for too long.

I rarely go back to school, and it doesn't seem appropriate to always discuss matters about my company.

"By the way, all your admission procedures have been taken care of, but it's best to write an undergraduate thesis so that you can officially enter the postgraduate teaching stage starting next spring."

"Procedurally it makes sense."

It is not very difficult for Xiang Changle to reinstate a student who dropped out after finishing his junior year.

It is nothing more than a supplementary procedure for suspension of study.

But I haven’t graduated from a bachelor’s degree, so it’s obviously a bit inappropriate to go directly to graduate school.

So he still wanted Cao Yang to complete the undergraduate graduation process, so that when the time came to apply for graduate school, there would be no problems with the process.

Otherwise, in the future, a bunch of people will look at this matter with a magnifying glass, which will inevitably cause all kinds of unnecessary trouble.

"No problem. I'll think about what paper to write and try to send it to you within a month."

Writing a thesis is a daunting task for ordinary undergraduates.

Especially for most engineering students, you have never really studied those parts or stayed in the laboratory, so you have to write a thesis, which is difficult for everyone.

But for Cao Yang, this is obviously not a problem.

Not to mention things like nut plates, bearings, bolts and gearboxes, all of them can be taken out and discussed carefully.

Even the various equipment and molds at Nanshan are enough to form many papers.

Using these things to deal with an undergraduate thesis is definitely like killing mosquitoes with a cannon.

"As for the time, you just have to figure it out."

"If you have any questions at that time, you can come to me at any time."

Just as Xiang Changle finished speaking, Cao Yang's phone rang.

"You answer the phone first and don't worry about me."

Xiang Changle knew that Cao Yang was busy with business, but he didn't mind the conversation being interrupted.

Originally, we were almost done talking for the day.

"It seems like they're calling from the United States. They must have just gone to work. Let me see what's going on."

Cao Yang explained to Xiang Changle while answering the phone.

"Cao, I have good news to share with you in advance."

Over the phone, GM Purchasing Director Austin was in a very good mood.

He would definitely not miss this opportunity to be a good person.

Although in the end some content will have to wait until some time before there is an official result, once the direction is set, it will basically not change without major surprises.

Large companies all have their own established processes when doing things.

You won't slap yourself in the face easily.
