Director Yi felt that not only was such high production capacity no longer needed, but he was also wondering if the new machine was causing the machine to deteriorate.
As he thought this, he wondered if President Lu was under a lot of pressure lately, which was why he was acting strangely and unusually today.
Lu Fan had no choice but to explain to him and Wang Wei, who was eagerly waiting beside him:
"I want to free up office space to develop a new product line!" If it weren't for Shengjing Company's interference, Lu Fan would probably have had to wait a while before starting the new production line.
We have to wait until the previous sales volume is saturated before we have time to move into the new product production line.
This decision now has to be brought forward due to the improvement in Lü Qiuyi's position.
Shengjing Company must have spent a lot of money on its extensive public relations campaign.
Lu Fan's previous advertising expenses were essentially wasted. Since Shengjing was willing to be a stepping stone, he didn't mind taking advantage of the opportunity to retaliate and actually step on them a few times.
Big companies are bullying newcomers. With such a great story, Lu Fan would feel sorry for Shengjing Company's 687 if he didn't jump on the bandwagon!
Haven't you ever heard of someone who's barefoot not being afraid of someone wearing shoes?
Compared to a global leader like Shengjing, his soy sauce factory is practically barefoot!
Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang were speechless with astonishment upon hearing Lu Fan's words.
Lu Fan explained to the two of them:
"Our brand has too few products, and we're not competitive enough."
"This is not only to retaliate against Shengjing, an industry giant, but also to increase Baiyue's competitiveness."
The products he plans to add are several related items such as dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken essence.
These are also some of the most profitable and highest-selling products among Shengjing Company's bulk commodities.
Seeing Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang's disapproval, Lu Fan smiled and said, "Moreover, launching multiple products can also break through their blockade." This sentence made Wang Wei's eyes light up.
Yi Hailiang seemed to be deep in thought. He wasn't worried about sales. As a workshop director, the assembly line was his territory, so there was no point in worrying about sales.
Now he's thinking more about where to locate the newly opened product workshop within the factory area.
There are also issues such as personnel arrangement.
They really don't have any more space in their factory now. Even if they flatten the office area, it's very likely they won't be able to fit all the product lines that Lu Fan has figured out.
Yi Hailiang asked Lu Fan if he still had plans to purchase property:
"Lease is fine too, there are plenty of vacant factory areas in this industrial park."
Even if you don't buy it, you can rent it to use.
As for Yi Hailiang's concerns about the personnel structure, Lu Fan had already made preparations:
"This is another important matter I called you here to discuss." Lu Fan's gaze swept over Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang:
"We won't be hiring any new management this time, to avoid further problems." "We'll only be hiring workers; for management, we'll be promoting from our existing staff."
Lu Fan's words stirred up both Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang, filling them with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
Although they haven't been working for long, the two of them have already gathered a group of their own people under their command.
It's not about forming cliques; rather, they each have their own promising talents whom they personally cultivate and promote.
I thought that if my subordinates wanted to be promoted, they would have to achieve something first.
Unexpectedly, good fortune came so quickly. The soy sauce factory did not go through the difficulties they had imagined and ultimately close down or go bankrupt.
And it continues to expand steadily.
This news acted like a shot in the arm for Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang.
But their excitement didn't last long before Lu Fan faced a problem.
The question is who to choose and who not to choose, and how to choose.
Lu Fan hoped that Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang would discuss it together, as they needed to come up with a plan in advance.
One person's plan is short-sighted, but two people's plans are long-sighted.
After discussing for a while, Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang came up with a preliminary plan.
Not long after, another high-level meeting was held in the factory area.
However, this time it wasn't just the managers who came; some outstanding employees who had been specially approved by the managers of various departments were also called into the meeting room.
"Section Chief, what are we security guards doing here in the factory area when they're holding a decision-making meeting? Aren't we supposed to be on duty?!"
Liu Nian brought along a junior staff member from the security department, who was also attending the meeting for the first time.
He had no idea what important decisions would be announced this time: "I don't know, I haven't heard anything about it."
The two wondered if the incident of the factory equipment almost being stolen before had been brought up again.
The others were also baffled; this meeting was a last-minute decision, and there had been no prior indication of it.
Many people on both sides of the long table were discussing in hushed tones.
Some were worried, while many others were baffled.
Not only the security department, but also the sales department, finance department, and many other departments were present.
Only Wang Wei and Yi Hailiang knew the theme of this meeting.
Everyone else is still completely confused.
The discussion didn't last long before Lu Fan pushed open the door and entered.
Those sitting by the door stood up and greeted him, "President Lu!"
"boss!"
