Lin Changchun shook his head and told Yuan Fangguo that of course the foremen also had production tasks, because they were selected from skilled workers, but their production tasks were still not as many as those of the front-line workers.
The electronics factory has very high requirements for the installation of electronic components and does not allow a high proportion of defective products. Therefore, after walking around the entire factory, Yuan Fangguo found that except for physical work, the vast majority of workers are female employees.
"It's probably more difficult to manage female employees than male ones." Yuan Fangguo spoke the truth and did not mean to discriminate against women.
Lin Changchun nodded without hesitation. "That's right. Compared to male employees, female employees have quite distinct strengths and weaknesses. Being meticulous, conscientious, and responsible are their strengths, but being more emotional than rational is also their weakness. Last year, a worker in our factory started dating a security guard. When the relationship broke down, the woman attempted suicide. Fortunately, we caught them early, otherwise it would have been a disaster, and the company would have definitely suffered the consequences."
Taiwanese and Hong Kong-funded companies are indeed more compliant with the law in this regard, and they pay the benefits to employees in a timely and full manner. Unlike some inland companies, they like to play by the rules. Therefore, once a worker jumps off a building and "commits suicide", the company is the one that suffers in the end.
"What are the main preferential welfare policies in Donghai City, brother?" Yuan Fangguo couldn't help but ask.
"It depends mainly on the qualifications of the company. For companies like those funded by Hong Kong or Taiwan, the exemptions and preferential policies are relatively large. The government also has a special investment promotion department to contact us."
“What about inland businesses?”
"The main reason is that there are tax exemptions, and the policy is in cooperation with banks. As long as there is a guarantor, the loan is not that troublesome."
"From this perspective, Hong Kong and Taiwan capital are still the best."
"The three places across the Taiwan Strait are one family. We need to make the people of Taiwan and Hong Kong feel our attraction to them. Otherwise, they really don't feel that way."
"What kind of feeling?" Yuan Fangguo asked subconsciously.
Lin Changchun smiled. "It feels like family. For example, earlier this year, Hong Kong businessmen in Donghai City questioned the government's preferential policies after Hong Kong's return to China in 1997. They were worried that after Hong Kong's return to China next year, all the preferential policies would be gone, and they would be treated the same as mainlanders."
Yuan Fangguo was a little surprised. "Didn't we agree that it would remain unchanged for fifty years?"
"That's a 50-year system, but the 'government' here has also assured them that the preferential policies will remain unchanged for at least another 50 years."
"It seems that Donghai City is indeed a place worth investing in." Yuan Fangguo said with emotion after listening to Lin Changchun's introduction.
"So I've been waiting for you to come." Lin Changchun said with a smile.
"I'll wait and see. I guess the new policy will be released early next year."
Everything is under policy observation. Only based on the policy can we make the choice that best suits our respective interests.
Yuan Fangguo and Lin Changchun chatted in the office until lunch time, and then Lin Changchun took him to the factory restaurant.
The restaurant in the electronics factory is specially prepared for the middle and senior leaders in the factory, while the canteen is prepared for the front-line workers and managers. There is no rest time here, only less than an hour for lunch. After lunch, the workers have to devote themselves to the busy work and production.
Compared to the front-line production lines, management has it relatively easy.
After lunch, Lin Changchun had to attend a symposium in the district in the afternoon, so he had to ask the driver to take Yuan Fangguo to the hotel to rest and come to see him in the evening.
After returning to the hotel, Yuan Fangguo did not rest. He just went into the bathroom to take a shower to wash off all the sweat on his body in the morning. Then he took out a notebook and a pen, and according to what Lin Changchun said last night and combined with what he saw this morning, he planned the management model of motorcycles, advertising companies and even hospitals.
He had to admit that it would be difficult for him to make a breakthrough in his thinking without stepping out of that closed circle. After seeing how modern advanced factories were managed, Yuan Fangguo also roughly summarized the shortcomings in the management of his motorcycle factory.
First of all, there is a lack of effective supervision of defective products. Sometimes, in order to meet the deadline, the production volume is increased blindly. As a result, the production volume increases, but the number of defective products and the defective ratio also increase a lot, which invisibly increases the cost.
Secondly, too few management teams are proficient in the business, and the phenomenon of laymen leading professionals is common. If the management team does not understand the business, it is difficult for them to perform their functional roles well.
…
Through what he saw, thought and realized, Yuan Fangguo summarized many problems in his factory. He felt that his trip was not in vain. At least it broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge.
Yuan Fangguo did not stay in Donghai City for long this time, and Lin Changchun was indeed quite busy. After staying in Donghai City for two days, Yuan Fangguo returned to Chengdu.
The first thing Yuan Fangguo did after returning to Chengdu was to call a meeting of middle and senior management personnel.
The purpose of the meeting is to solve the problems he has summarized.
The management personnel of the motorcycle factory were basically hired from outside, and their salaries were not low, but he was not very satisfied with their performance in management functions. Yuan Fangguo planned to take this opportunity to carry out drastic reforms.
As soon as the reform was implemented, there were many voices of opposition from middle and senior management, and some even offered to resign.
The invisible pressure made Yuan Fangguo feel uncomfortable, but he did not change his original intention. Instead, he boldly encouraged those who privately proposed to resign...
Everything has a process of transformation from unfamiliar to familiar, and with his iron-fisted approach, the motorcycle factory had a completely new look in less than a month. The people who had previously made strange remarks and complained gradually disappeared, and everyone adapted to the new management model.
At the end of September, Yuan Fangguo looked at the costs and found that they had dropped by 2 percentage points year-on-year.
He knew that this was only the initial stage, and once things were really straightened out, the cost reduction would definitely be more than two percentage points.
When National Day was approaching, Yuan Fangguo heard a piece of news.
That is, the Shuangyang Municipal Transportation Bureau obtained the approval letter for the expressway from Chengdu to Shuangyang City.
When he went to Shenzhen to meet Lin Huayong during the National Day holiday, Lin Huayong himself couldn't believe that Shuangyang City had actually acquired the highway.
Lin Huayong said "impossible" several times in a row. He even called his second brother Lin Huaming. When Lin Huaming told him that the highway was really taken over by the Shuangyang City Transportation Bureau, Lin Huayong couldn't help but sigh that Shuangyang City really has talents.
