Wei Dong took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. "Little Pear, it's good that you said that. Let's go check on the sales of this batch of goods outside the province."
Jiang Xiaoli immediately stood up. "Let's go, I'm curious about it."
The three of them went to the sales department's large office. The sales chart on the wall had been replaced by ten separate display stands with large red papers that could be flipped through to view the information.
Jiang Xiaoli first looked at the performance of the province over the past two days.
In the past two days, the number of orders from other cities in the province has not decreased, but has instead shown an upward trend.
Many small shops and supermarkets that received small quantities of goods last week have recently restocked in large quantities.
She nodded in satisfaction, "There are fewer sales staff left in the province, but we must not let our guard down. We must do a good job in after-sales service and strengthen communication in the markets we have already expanded into."
"That's for sure. I've appointed a provincial head, and I'll emphasize this point to him again." Zong Jiayu had made proper arrangements in this regard.
Most of the sales staff who went on this business trip arrived in Shanxi and Henan provinces yesterday afternoon or evening, and only a few have closed deals so far.
Jiang Xiaoli turned to look at the employee in charge of answering phone calls and communicating about orders. "If all goes well, tomorrow and the day after will be the peak period for this batch of orders. Didn't we rehire a few people a few days ago? We're too busy here, so let them come over and help answer the phone."
Wei Dong smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Xiao Zong and I have everything arranged here. We're indeed short-staffed lately, so we're continuing to recruit, and the team will expand soon."
She reminded him, "Uncle Wei, many people are coming to our factory because they've heard that the sales salaries are high. These people are different from our previous workers; they're definitely more restless. You'll have to help us screen them carefully when we're hiring."
Wei Dong recalled the recruitment situation over the past few days, "Yes, the problem you mentioned does exist. I've also noticed it during my recent recruitment process, and I'll keep an eye on it."
They returned to Wei Dong's office from the sales department, and Ming Chan knocked on the door.
His eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Xiaoli. He didn't even bother to greet the others. He grabbed Jiang Xiaoli and complained, "Little Jiang, the new equipment is fine, but our factory's old equipment can't keep running at such high intensity."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. "Our old equipment hasn't even been used for more than a few years, has it?"
Mingchan waved his hand, "It hasn't been used for many years, but we used to make canned food, so these machines weren't used as frequently as they are now. We originally bought mid-range products, and now that we're using them so often, we really can't keep up."
After hearing his explanation, Jiang Xiaoli understood. "Then the new equipment is fine, right? The new equipment is the model I specifically consulted about."
“Yes, yes, the workers can manage three shifts without any problem with the new equipment, but we absolutely cannot do that with the old equipment,” Ming Chan replied.
She thought for a moment, "Deputy Factory Director Ming, it's like this, we originally planned to purchase new equipment at the end of the month. Could you talk to Uncle Wei later and see how we need to replace it or purchase all new equipment, okay?"
Ming Chan looked delighted. “Okay, okay, no problem. I’ll compile a list of the equipment situation in the workshop and talk to Director Wei about it later.”
Ming Chan left excitedly, and Jiang Xiaoli sighed, "Looks like we're going to have to spend a lot of money on this purchase at the end of the month!"
Zong Jia smiled and comforted her, "If you want to do a good job, you must first have the right tools. If we solve the problem of the machinery and equipment, we won't have to worry about supplying goods when we expand the business later."
She let out a long sigh, "I'm short of people, I'm short of money, I'm short of equipment, I'm a triple-shortage person now!"
Wei Dong poured them both a glass of water and said with a smile, "What does this mean? It means our factory is in a period of rapid development. In the first half of the year, I really wished the total number of workers in the factory could be reduced."
Zong Jiayu also spoke up, "These are all temporary. If we sort out all these things in the first few months of this year, then next year will be our harvest period."
"Mmm-hmm." Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, and sighed, "I really wish time would pass faster!"
Wei Dong tapped the table. "The road is built step by step. Haste makes waste. Little Pear, you need to be more patient."
Zong Jia looked at her with affection, "Don't worry, we will succeed."
She glanced at the two people comforting her and chuckled, "I know, I was just nagging. I'm very satisfied with the results we've achieved. It's all thanks to your hard work. I'm really grateful."
Wei Dong glared at her, pretending to be angry. "Little Pear, how can you say such things? If you keep doing this, I'm going to quit my job and retire home."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled mischievously, "Alright, I was wrong, Uncle Wei. You're in your prime, how can you retire so early? I won't agree to the factory being without you!"
"You little rascal, you always know how to say nice things!" Wei Dong was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
After chatting for a few minutes, Zong Jiayu stood up. "I need to go back and look at the price list from the Ling'an County Condiment Factory, and think about the negotiation strategy with Xiang Wanjia this afternoon. You and Uncle Wei can continue your conversation."
Wei Dong waved his hand, "Little Pear, go wander around wherever you're interested in. I'm busy here too. I'll have Xiao Zhang compile a list of applicants for me. I still need to go talk to HR about recruitment later!"
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes widened. "There's no place for me here. Fine, I'll leave then."
Zong Jiayu knew she was just joking, but he couldn't help himself. "Why don't you come to my place? Come with me to Xiangwanjia Condiment Factory this afternoon?"
She waved her hand, looking heartbroken, "Since I'm not needed here, I'll go somewhere that needs me!"
Zong Jia sighed helplessly, "Where are you going? I'll have Han Xue take you there."
Jiang Xiaoli stopped acting and said with a light laugh, "No need, no need. I'll go to Uncle Xiao's company. I'll take a taxi there. You guys go ahead with your work."
Zong Jiayu saw her off from the factory, and after watching her get into the car, he noted down the license plate number before turning back.
Upon arriving at Xiao Jincheng's company, Xue Bin was incredibly enthusiastic, "Ms. Jiang, I've been wanting to contact you these past few days!"
"Hmm?" Jiang Xiaoli was somewhat surprised. "Is there a problem with the initial design draft?"
"No, no, the design draft is great. President Xiao and President Han were very satisfied with it and want to directly renovate several model rooms. Which apartment type do you think would be better to choose?" Xue Bin asked with great interest.
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled to herself. If that's the case, then the results of the pitch at the end of the month are practically predetermined!
She reviewed the design plans for each apartment type again. "Let's choose this 142-square-meter three-bedroom apartment. This layout can showcase all the advantages of our design."
Xue Bin seemed to have found a kindred spirit, "Haha, that's what I was thinking too. I'll report to President Xiao and we'll start construction in the next couple of days."
