In that case, the boss would be completely sidelined.
Qian Nana presented Jiang Xiaoyan with several candidates for important positions, which was self-evident. Lu Feng was about to speak, but hesitated and didn't say anything. It was just a game after all. He wanted to use this small factory as a test to see how a company would operate after being sidelined.
Jiang Xiaoyan looked through the resumes for a long time. These people's resumes were indeed very good, but she was still a little unsure and looked at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng took the resumes, glanced at them, and whispered, "These people are all suitable."
"Then let these people start working. As for their wages, just follow their demands," Jiang Xiaoyan said readily.
"Then thank you very much, President Jiang and President Lu. I think there is still a huge gap in the cosmetics market, and we still have a lot of opportunities."
Qian Nana briefly explained the market prospects, and she gained some understanding of Lu Feng and his wife.
These two people know absolutely nothing about business, especially corporate management. They look like two newlywed young people who have taken money from their families and are now enjoying the feeling of being their own boss.
Lu Feng spent a long time looking at various factories. Among them, some were for sale, with factory buildings of two or three thousand square meters priced at one million, which was seriously inflated.
There are a total of 27 suitable factories here, one of which is very good. It has all the basics, including electricity, water, production lines, and dedicated chemical storage tanks.
The workshop covers an area of 2,900 square meters, and the entire factory occupies a little over 10 acres, which is considered small. Jiafeng Electronics' smallest assembly plant occupies 15 acres, not to mention the larger assembly plants.
"Can you lower the price a bit?" Lu Feng asked.
“This place is rented on an annual basis, and you also have to pay a deposit. Mr. Lu, here’s what I’m thinking: we could buy a factory. That way, we won’t have the pressure of rent, and if we encounter market fluctuations, we can hold out for a longer period of time.” Qian Nana said very professionally, “Small factories are the most sensitive to the market. They will lose their price advantage if there are any fluctuations. The survival mode of small businesses now is to survive a few more days than other small factories.”
Qian Nana's words are absolutely true. Every day, grassroots businesses open up and go bankrupt, especially small workshops, which appear in large numbers and disappear in large numbers.
You have to understand, there's a wave of people going into business right now. Countless people are rushing to Shenzhen with their savings, only to return with nothing.
However, tying up too much capital in hardware like factories can strain the cash flow of small businesses, making it difficult for them to access funds at critical times and hindering their ability to obtain bank loans.
“No need, let’s just rent one!” Lu Feng showed Jiang Xiaoyan the details of the factory and said, “Let’s go take a look at this.”
Jiang Xiaoyan wasn't very familiar with the factory. Looking at the diagram, it didn't seem very big. Since Lu Feng had already said so, then let's go with it.
"Then let's go take a look at the factory first. When can they start work?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked.
"If you're okay with that, a few of you can start work this afternoon. The head of the HR department will start work first."
"Human Resources Department?" Having been around Lu Feng for a long time, Jiang Xiaoyan had some understanding of these departments. She looked at Lu Feng and said, "It's the department that manages people, right?"
Lu Feng nodded. Why does such a small factory have so many departments?
The more departments there are, the easier it is for her as general manager. Small businesses need to be streamlined and versatile. The HR staff need to be able to do the work of the finance department, and the finance staff must also be proficient in marketing and be available at any time. Sometimes, one person can even do the work of two people.
Small businesses like these are the ones that can make money, unlike large corporations where everyone has a specific role.
"We won't need the HR department for now. You'll be in charge of the recruitment. Just sign off on everything. We'll need two people for finance, workshop foreman, marketing, and product design. No original designs are needed; just buy a few magazines and copy what they say." Lu Feng looked at Qian Nana and said, "Got it?"
"Oh, oh, oh!" Qian Nana nodded repeatedly, looked up at Lu Feng, and thought about planting a few people in the company to earn more money.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Let's go check out the factory first. I'll make a call over there!" Qian Nana picked up the phone and dialed, but in her mind she kept thinking, Jiang Xiaoyan really seemed to know nothing, but why did Lu Feng seem to have a flash of inspiration and then a moment of stupidity?
