Chapter 118 Chen Yan's Factory
At the host's instruction, Song Yilin came to the stage.
Clearing her throat: "Hello everyone, I am Song Yilin from Xu's Group, and also the CEO of Xin'ao Group. I know that everyone has had some complaints about Xin'ao Group recently. I am here today to hear your opinions and suggestions on Xin'ao. I hope you will not hesitate to give me your advice."
Song Yilin stood on the stage, waiting for the bosses to attack her. Her goal today was either to make these bosses vent their anger or to get them to agree with their policies and not to go against them.
One of the bosses, Mr. Chen, who had very little hair on his head, said, "No wonder. You didn't found the company, so of course you can use someone else's company to create a good person image for yourself and make yourself a shining example in the industry."
Song Yilin maintained her smile: "Boss Chen, I don't need to run for president. Giving my employees a good impression doesn't benefit my career advancement at all. I'm doing that to try a new kind of workplace environment so that employees can get better rest. Only when they are well-rested can they have the energy to better serve the company."
A rather refined Mr. Yu said, "President Song means well. He started from the bottom as president and understands the difficulties of employees. However, if we follow your rest schedule, have you considered that we need to hire more people? Small departments need to hire one or two more people, and large departments like sales and after-sales need to hire five or six people each. Has President Song considered this labor cost?"
She didn't give eight days at once, precisely because of this consideration.
"Mr. Yu, this is not a decision I made on a whim. I did some research and found that 80% of the employees would rather have a few less days of rest than receive a little less pay. The basic salary at our 4S store is 1,500-2,000 yuan, so this does not involve a pay cut."
Our salaries are primarily based on performance-based pay, which is linked to company profits. The size of the performance-based pay pool depends on performance; more employees mean less performance-based pay per employee. If an employee wants more, they can either leave or work harder to achieve higher performance. As for the additional social security and other employee costs, I believe that if employees get adequate rest and create sufficient value, these costs will be covered.
The people below started whispering among themselves.
Song Yilin knew that what she said was correct, and they also thought she was right, but they still wouldn't do it that way. When they were unwilling to give their employees a few more days off, Song Yilin's actions would be wrong.
This industry is so special that when everyone else is banding together, she's wrong if she doesn't.
Boss Chen glanced at Song Yilin: "President Song, if you're going to continue being unconventional, then keep being unconventional. You're a veteran in this industry, and you know that in our industry, you can't survive without sticking together. I know you have some ability, but if you don't make money, or make less, your boss will still have a problem with you. Since we're all just employees, don't be a big philanthropist; in the end, you'll be the one who suffers."
In the corner, a Mr. Zhang said, "Mr. Chen, you're mistaken. Ms. Song is the fiancée of Xu Qingmin from the Xu Group. We work hard at the 4S store just to make a living, while Ms. Song is supported by a big conglomerate husband. She just goes into the 4S store for fun."
Mr. Zhang's words truly hurt Song Yilin, but she still maintained her smile: "Mr. Zhang really thinks highly of me. No matter what industry President Xu enters, he is always kind to people and does business peacefully. Xin'ao Group is also a very important branch of Xu's Group, otherwise he wouldn't have let me manage it personally. As for what Mr. Zhang said about playing around, Xu's Group doesn't have the confidence to give me a company worth hundreds of millions to play around with right now, but I think Mr. Zhang has the ability to do so."
Unable to win the argument with Song Yilin, Boss Zhang stopped. In business, a few words are enough to quell any tension; anything more would be inappropriate: "Thank you for your kind words, President Song. I also have high hopes for your experiment. However, we are just a small business and can't afford the trouble, so I won't join you in trying it."
After Mr. Zhang said this, many people agreed with him.
Song Yilin knew that she had lost this time.
No matter how well she speaks, it won't change the fact that these people want to isolate her.
Before the meeting ended, many people left. Song Yilin knew that there was no point in continuing, so she also chose to leave the venue.
Wang Qianqian arranged a car and driver for her. Just as she was about to get into the driver's car, Chen Yan's extravagant convertible stopped right in front of her.
"Mr. Song, would you do me the honor of coming for a drive with me?"
After learning about Chen Yan's purpose, she was no longer so afraid of him.
She knew Chen Yan probably had something to say to her, so she told the driver and got into Chen Yan's car.
Chen Yan said he wanted to go for a drive, and he really did take her for a drive, driving at a speed that would have gotten him a ticket.
It didn't take long before we arrived at the suburban factory.
Song Yilin looked around in confusion: "President Chen, where are you taking me?"
Chen Yan put his index finger to his lips: "Shh, listen to the wind, we'll be there soon."
Chen Yan then led her to one of the factory buildings.
Chen Yan got out of the car, tossed the car keys to the security guard, and gestured for Song Yilin to follow.
Upon entering, Song Yilin was first disinfected, and then she was dressed in protective clothing and a hat.
They also wore protective goggles.
Song Yilin did all of these things without understanding why.
Chen Yan then led her into the normal workshop.
The entire workshop operates under sterile conditions.
Many of them are automated, and the equipment looks particularly advanced.
However, what shocked Song Yilin was not the equipment, but the workers in the workshop.
Almost all of them are disabled.
This greatly shocked Song Yilin.
Chen Yan explained the production line and operation of the workshop to her.
What are the sales channels after production? How are the workers treated?
How are sales going?
Song Yilin suddenly had a new understanding of Chen Yan.
Song Yilin followed Chen Yan to Chen Yan's office in the factory.
It also has a lot of awards.
These are all proof of his charitable work.
"What is Mr. Chen trying to tell me by showing me these?"
Chen Yan pointed to the workers in the workshop: "You know, these workers used to be paid the same as regular workers. So, the owners of other factories attacked me more than once. Later, I backed down and reduced their wages, but gave them more rice, flour and cooking oil."
Song Yilin was suddenly touched.
"I thought that with Mr. Chen's influence in Binzhou, no one would dare to challenge you."
Chen Yan laughed at himself.
"Do you think that's possible? We all live in this society. If you band together with them, they'll include you. If you don't band together, they won't care what kind of group you're backed by. No matter how big the group is, they won't target a company just for a little bit of employee benefits."
