When will I have a long tassel?

"There is a dispatching section chief in the production department of our factory who is very experienced. If we ask him to take charge of production, he will definitely be better than Wang Yingsong. Wang Yingsong doesn't understand the process arrangement at all and is just giving random instructions..." He Ji'an said slowly.

"I'm asking, how much salary does this person need?" Li Taiyu interrupted He Jian's words. He doesn’t understand production, but he does understand money.

"Actually, it should be fine according to my salary standard... I know that the company's financial situation is not particularly comfortable now, so I can temporarily overcome it in terms of salary."

He Jian's words were very tactful, but Li Taiyu already understood. He had two meanings: first, a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan was a relatively high standard and could hire a very good dispatching section chief; second, He Jian hoped that Li Taiyu would ignore this and continue to maintain the monthly salary of 1,500 yuan. Very low illusion.

"You mean, if I hire this dispatching section chief, our production problems will be solved?" Li Taiyu asked.

"It may also be necessary to add some workers in key processes..."

"How much do I need to add?"

"Maybe, probably, maybe... a few dozen are enough."

"..."

Li Taiyu really wanted to slap He Jian in the face. Do you think my money fell from the sky? Recruiting a dispatching section chief costs 20,000 yuan a year, which is fine. With this dispatching section chief, we need to add 20 workers in key processes. Calculated based on a person’s monthly salary of 1,000 yuan, that is 300,000 yuan a year. What can I do with this little money?

All the equipment has been updated, and all the workers have also been replaced. So what did I want when I bought this fifth machine tool factory? Officials from the Investment Promotion Bureau said that the Fifth Machine Tool Factory has strong technical strength and is ranked among the top five professional grinding machine manufacturers in the entire Mingxi Province. The population of Myeonggye Province is larger than that of South Korea. Isn’t this equivalent to being one of the top five companies in South Korea? In your eyes, such a company doesn't even have a single suitable worker. Aren't you a monkey sent to trick me?

"Mr. He, the plan you mentioned is absolutely unacceptable. You said in the past that as long as you recruit a dozen outstanding technicians and put them into key processes, Dongyuan Company will be able to produce qualified grinders. Now I have recruited more than a dozen Personally, you said that there will be more than 20 more, and a dispatching section chief is needed. If you have anything left to say, can you finish it for me in one go?" Li Taiyu roared.

"I... didn't expect that the foundation of the No. 5 machine tool would be so poor. Parts that have been processed in the first few processes will be milled out of alignment if an assembly hole is milled in the subsequent processes. This is absolutely impossible on a conventional machine. An error occurred." He Jian replied timidly.

He really wasn't lying. He had never seen such a bad worker. Although Changji is not well managed and suffers losses from time to time, there is still a minimum production order. No matter how poor the skills and sense of responsibility of the workers in the workshop were, they would not make such low-level mistakes. This was an eye-opener for him.

Li Taiyu shook his head firmly and said, "I will never accept this plan. You must come up with other ways."

"What other ways..." He Jian hesitated for a while and said, "Then the only way is to hire someone to do the work."

Li Taiyu didn't react for a moment: "Hire someone to do the work? Who do you want to do the work for?"

"There are many private machine tool companies in Mingxi Province and Jingnan Province, and some of them are quite good. At least..., uh, I mean, they are relatively reliable. We can't finish our orders now, so we can divide them We just need to put out part of it, ask them for help, and finally put our brand on it,” He Jian said.

He just slipped up and almost said that it was at least better than the Fifth Machine Tool. Considering that Li Taiyu's heart was not in good condition recently, he finally swallowed the words. Anyway, Li Taiyu could understand what he meant.

If competition issues were not involved, He Jian was actually more willing to suggest that Li Taiyu find a large domestic machine tool factory to do OEM work, such as hiring a machine to do it. In fact, Changji itself has an OEM business for Japanese machine tool companies. Those machine tools manufactured by Changji can be sold at home and abroad after being branded by Japanese manufacturers, and the quality is no worse than those originating in Japan.

However, the machine tools manufactured by Changji are not produced by Changji itself and do not compete with Changji's own business. The grinding machines of Dongyuan Company are of the same type as those of Linyi Machinery. When He Jian went out to sell machine tools, he always used Linyi Machinery's machine tools as a stepping stone. In this case, Dongyuan Machine Tool in turn asked Linyi Machinery to do OEM work. Can Linyiji Machinery agree?

Of course, Li Taiyu knows what OEM is. After all, this is also one of the things to learn for a business master's degree. He hesitated and asked: "Mr. He, if we want to hire these private companies to do OEM work, then why should I acquire the Fifth Machine Tool Factory?"

Because you are out of your mind!

He Jian wanted to say this to Li Taiyu. However, when the words came to his lips, he still changed his words and said: "The acquisition of five machine tools is still very necessary. We must have a factory so that we can explain to customers. If we tell customers that our machine tools are produced by domestic They are manufactured by private companies, so why do people think our machine tools are Korean machine tools?"

"That's true..." Li Taiyu nodded, and then thought of another question: "But we don't need to update the equipment."

Is this also my fault?

He Jian cursed in his heart, "I didn't know Wu Machine Tool's foundation was so poor. Also, I didn't know you were so poor." Aren’t you a foreign businessman? Aren’t all foreign businessmen supposed to be big spenders? If you are willing to spend money and hire 100 excellent technicians, these equipment will come in handy. Now you are reluctant to spend money to hire people, so what’s the use of just having equipment?

Helpless, He Jian could only bite the bullet and continue to explain: "Mr. Li, these equipment are also our facade. If a customer comes to the company to inspect and sees that our workshop is full of old equipment, can they believe in our strength? ? Besides, even if we are looking for an OEM, the company's production still needs to be maintained. Even if it is only three units a month, the impression will be very good."

Li Taiyu nodded again. He was a little doubtful of He Jian's words, but at this point, there was no better way. Finding someone to do the work for him could at least solve the urgent need. OEMs have to pay OEM fees to the OEM, which means that the profit of each machine tool will shrink again. But shrinking profits are still profits, and it’s better than worrying about over 100 units of orders now, right?

Thinking of this, he asked He Jian: "Mr. He, if you are looking for an OEM, do you have any good recommendations?"

He Jian nodded immediately: "Yes, yes. When I was working as a regular machine, I often went to solve technical problems for some private companies. I know a lot of private bosses who open machinery factories. I can invite them over to meet with Mr. Li. You talk in person.”

"Okay, I want to talk to them." Li Taiyu said.

When He Jian was promoting machine tools outside, he repeatedly emphasized that his products were of Korean quality. Although they were produced domestically, the company was a Korean-owned enterprise, so the quality was absolutely no problem. Nowadays, if you want to find a private enterprise to do OEM work, you should not be overly public. If a customer knew that the "Korean machine tools" they purchased were originally manufactured by a small private factory, would they still have a falling out? The price of Korean machine tools is higher than that of large state-owned manufacturers in China, while the prices of small private manufacturers are less than half of that of large state-owned manufacturers. People spend a lot of money, but what they buy are products manufactured by small private factories. Who can not be impatient?

For this reason, He Jian did not contact too many companies, but only found three factories with which he had a good relationship. He asked their leaders to come to Changning to talk to Li Taiyu, and repeatedly told them that no matter what the outcome of the talks, this matter Nothing should be leaked to the public.

Li Taiyu thinks highly of He Jian, but he just thinks that this person is capable. He is not worried about He Jian's integrity. Because He Jian found these three companies, Li Taiyu brought Wang Yingsong with him during the meeting and asked Wang Yingsong to check them for him.

Wang Yingsong felt very unhappy when he heard that these companies were doing OEM work. He obviously has a production workshop, but he has to find an outside factory to do the work. Doesn't this mean that he, the production director, is incompetent? Well, he is indeed powerless, but so what? Is this why you find someone to do the work?

After further inquiries, it was found that He Jian was the one who suggested the foundry business, and He Jian had also hired these companies. Wang Yingsong became even more furious. When meeting with several companies, he tried his best to make things difficult for the bosses of these factories.

Who would have thought that when he actually met, he would realize that his factory was private, and his performance was directly linked to the boss's personal wealth, so every boss was experienced in many battles. No matter how tricky the question he asked, he would still be able to answer it fluently and draw inferences, but he would be choked into silence.

Li Taiyu witnessed these meetings and came to two conclusions: first, the factories recommended by He Jian were indeed powerful; second, his own factory, plus Wang Yingsong, was indeed rubbish.

"Boss Zhao, Chief Engineer Zhao, let's sign an OEM agreement for 5 machine tools first. If your factory delivers goods in time and can meet our company's quality requirements, then we can sign a longer-term agreement in the future. What do you think?"

Looking at the brothers Zhao Xinggen and Zhao Xingwang, the director and chief engineer of Longhu Machinery Factory in Heling City, Jinnan Province, who were sitting in front of him, Li Taiyu said reservedly.

"No problem! Mr. Li, our Longhu Machinery Factory is also famous among the township enterprises in Jinnan City. In terms of delivery speed and quality, you can rest assured." Zhao Xinggen clapped his chest loudly.

"Another requirement is that your factory's OEM work for Dongyuan Company must be kept strictly confidential. If anything is leaked, you will need to pay legal responsibility."

"This is what we should do. Mr. He specifically reminded us of this when he contacted us."

"Then, we will discuss the OEM fee next..."

Well, I remembered something. A few days ago, a classmate asked if the mini machine tool mentioned in the book looked like it. In fact, Orange is written according to the pattern of Power8workship. This Power8 is just a woodworking combination tool. Cheng Zi opened his mind and thought it would be good to change it into a combination machine tool...
