Chapter 225: Factory Opening
In the end, all the Xu brothers except Hu Weidong decided to stay at home.
Chen Jintao was definitely too busy to handle it all. She had to go inside the restaurant because the apprentices had not yet finished their apprenticeship and she would have to go and watch over them.
Therefore, Huo Beichuan had to keep an eye on the affairs of those gangsters.
Huo Beichuan went to negotiate the compensation issue in person, and he had a lot of influence over the Public Security Bureau. The director of the Public Security Bureau personally assured him that the outcome of the matter would satisfy him.
As expected, those thugs were eventually required to pay a total of 500 yuan in nutrition, medical expenses, and lost work time.
Before, the amount of money put together by those gangsters was not much, but when it came into the hands of the Xu brothers, it was a lot.
Generally speaking, each of those gangsters has to pay dozens of dollars, and they are all unemployed vagrants, so this is a huge loss for them.
The hotel's business is very stable. Apart from the first few days when business was booming, the business has basically been on the right track since then.
Although the business is not as booming as it was at the beginning, it is still pretty good.
At least compared to state-owned restaurants, it is very good. In the first few days, the net profit was over a thousand yuan every day, and later on, it was several hundred yuan a day. At the end of a month, there is a lot of money. Shen Jintao is very satisfied with this business. She does not expect to achieve success overnight, but for now, there are many customers after mealtime every day, which is enough. Slowly, the restaurant will become well-known.
The apprentices we found were all talented and learned very quickly.
In just one month, great progress has been made, and Shen Jintao is very satisfied with this.
Once all these apprentices have become masters, I won’t have to keep an eye on them in the restaurant anymore.
A month later, good news came from the factory that the project had been completed.
Shen Jintao contacted the bankrupt state-owned garment factory directly for a batch of old facilities.
These facilities are completely sufficient for them now. After all, even if there are some design plans in this era, they will not be too complicated.
The former state-owned garment factory was also very happy about Chen Jintao's acquisition of the assembly line. After all, those assembly lines would be a complete waste in their hands, and the longer you keep a machine, the faster it will break down. Anyway, they will end up breaking in your hands, so of course they are happy if someone buys it, and both parties are satisfied with the price.
After the factory had dried the products, Chen Jintao directly arranged for the assembly lines to enter the factory.
What is lacking now is workers, but this is not a difficult task, and Qian Mingfang is not sitting idle doing nothing.
Since she has decided to work with Chen Jintao on her career, she is full of enthusiasm.
In order to open her clothing store as soon as possible, she also tried her best to complete the tasks assigned to her by Chen Jintao.
When she had nothing to do, she would contact those garment factory workers who were forced to be laid off. During this period, she has contacted dozens of people. Although this number is not large for such a large garment factory, with so many veterans, even if she finds many newcomers later, there will be someone to guide them. Moreover, the work on the assembly line is the same and easy to get started. As long as there are experienced people to guide them, it is easy to learn.
The restaurant's business has stabilized. The only girl among the apprentices has made great progress in this period. She can now independently make some not-so-complicated dishes, which has greatly reduced Huo Nanxi's workload.
These two girls were enough to support the normal operation of a restaurant, so Chen Jintao began to focus on the garment factory.
Not only did she purchase several complete assembly lines, she also bought many sewing machines. This type of sewing machine is no longer rare in Guangzhou and can be purchased without a ticket. In addition, she purchased a large quantity, so she was given some discounts relatively speaking.
She plans to use these sewing machines to make some exquisite small accessories, which will definitely look great and eye-catching when paired with clothes.
The veterans that Qian Mingfang found all had a good reputation, at least there were no major problems with their character, so it was easy to run this garment factory.
For the garment factory, Chen Jintao has a complete management plan.
She planned to learn from the operating methods of some large factories in later generations and implement a three-shift system.
In fact, many factories in later generations operated in two shifts, with working hours of about 12 hours.
But Chen Jintao felt that there was no need to exploit the workers so much. They still had to be allowed to rest well so that they could work better, so she chose to work in three shifts.
If there are three shifts, the working hours for each shift will be about 8 hours. Of course, it does not mean that you have to go off work after 8 hours. Overtime is voluntary. Anyway, their wages are piece-rate in addition to the basic salary. The more you work, the more you earn. I believe that in this era many people are willing to work hard for higher wages.
This model is quite novel for the old employees who have been laid off from these garment factories. You know, they used to work in state-owned factories, and their wages were fixed no matter how hard they worked, with no fluctuations.
Although this kind of iron rice bowl is good, it will also make these people lazy. No matter how much work they do, they will still get paid. So if no one is watching them, they will become lazy when working.
The model proposed by Chen Jintao made all the workers eager to try. In other words, as long as they are willing to work, there is no upper limit to their wages.
Chen Jintao did not have so many ceremonies for the official opening of the garment factory. There was just a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the garment factory officially started operating.
Those assembly lines are familiar to the old employees. Chen Jintao also asked Qian Mingfang to recruit some military dependents who can use sewing machines from the family compound, and the daily output is also very good.
Within just a few days, Qian Mingfang was told that the clothing store could open as usual.
Everything was going on the right track, and the Xu brothers began to take on other jobs one after another. After seeing that self-employed individuals were doing so well in business that they could even surpass the state-owned units, many people became eager to try their luck.
On the street where Shen Jintao Hotel is located, many people started to do business one after another. Of course, this had no impact on her.
For example, a private restaurant opened a few dozen meters away from the hotel, but because the food tasted not as good as that of the Yanhuo Restaurant, its business was average.
However, the most anxious people were the employees of the state-owned restaurant. At the beginning, they really didn't take the Yanhuo Restaurant seriously. In their eyes, state-owned units were the orthodox ones. Customers would at most try something new and would definitely return to the state-owned restaurant after eating. However, the reality was completely different from what they thought.
