The people in the factory were actually very happy, especially some ordinary employees, who wished they could set off firecrackers to send them off. The outside world reacted very strongly.
Lu Feng emptied out the entire management team of Jiaming Foods in one fell swoop. If a lot of work is not handed over in time, big problems are likely to occur. Wang Youchao even said that within three days, Jiaming Foods will be in complete chaos.
He'll send these people back the way he always did to get rid of them today.
In the afternoon, Lu Feng transferred some external staff from the Marketing and Advertising departments to important locations such as purchasing, warehousing, and inventory management to ensure a smooth handover.
First, ensure that production, goods handling, and the basic operations of the factory can be maintained, and then increase external recruitment.
It was indeed busier, but overall it was running quite well. These jobs were largely replaceable. In the evening, Lu Feng went to check on the various departments and called the major factories to inquire.
After a brief period of chaos and the restoration of order, those who are doing the work of three people are now being paid triple wages, and many have said they are fully capable of doing the work and there is no need to hire anyone else.
Aside from the lower-level managers, middle management is more complicated, especially for those with decision-making power in a department; this type of management is very important.
The general direction is fine; it's just a matter of time before we can rebuild our talent pool and knowledge base.
On the desk was a list of dismissed employees. A rough calculation showed that if there were stock dividends at the end of the year, these people would take away several million yuan, saving them money.
"President Lu, these are some ideas about the headquarters after the group is formed. I've picked out a few locations!" Gao Zhiwei placed three folders on the table.
"We'll talk about it when we have time. Don't put everything on my desk. I set a target of 100 million for you this year, and you're still far from it. I checked and you're 30 million short. I understand that beverages don't sell well in winter, but you can reduce the winning rate to increase profit margins. Don't do things like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."
Lu Feng looked at him and said, "This 'one more bottle' model is enough for you to play around with for ten years. As long as you do a good job with anti-counterfeiting technology and crack down on counterfeiters, you can keep doing it. Learn to compete normally in the market, compete in a differentiated and refined way with your products, and have a fighting spirit. If you're not convinced, then fight. As you fight, one day you'll find that you've become the number one in the industry."
"I understand. The sales pressure was high during those two months, but it won't happen again."
"I'll see later, I have a dinner appointment tonight." Lu Feng stood up and prepared to leave.
"President Lu, it's almost the end of the year, and there's an awards ceremony for leading enterprises in the province. They invited you to attend. I was thinking that since you're in the south and can't go, I would go in your place. But now that you're back, why don't you go?"
"when?"
"Early December, there's still more than a month to go."
"It's still early!"
"that......"
Lu Feng turned around, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Just tell me everything at once. I really don't know how you managed things when I wasn't around."
"We're one of the biggest taxpayers in the city this year. Those factories are exempt from taxes for three years, so I transferred some of their taxes to our city. As a big taxpayer, we get half of the money back. The city's idea is to give the legal representative a colorful ribbon and a certificate, and then parade them around in a truck for everyone to see."
"You want me to go?" Lu Feng couldn't bear to think about the scene and asked, "It's December too? I'll freeze to death standing on a big truck!"
"But this is something that makes you look bad!"
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't take on these kinds of public appearances for me anymore. Besides, I'm not the legal representative. Let him go. Is that all?"
"This year we're charity ambassadors, and we've donated quite a bit. We'll be attending a charity gala, a local chamber of commerce dinner, a food industry dinner, an industry exchange meeting, and that dance you attended last year—we'd like to invite you again this year. There are also a whole bunch of other dances and dinners, and the president of the city's Qigong Association wants to take you on as his apprentice."
As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat." Lu Feng sensed that he would have to keep a deeper profile in the future. He frowned and asked, "Those galas are at least somewhat related to business, but what's the deal with that qigong thing?"
"Did you beat up someone practicing qigong at a dinner party?"
"It seems like that's the case. What's wrong?"
"The chairman of this association said that you have exceptionally high aptitude. He said that you were able to defeat a qigong master who had been practicing for many years after he gave you a few pointers. He also said that you have a very good foundation and that he has a photo of you with him. I even had my lawyer file a lawsuit as a warning a while ago."
Lu Feng never expected that he would be taken advantage of like this. He smiled wryly and said, "Fine, let's cancel all those messy meetings!"
When he arrived downstairs at the Tianyue Hotel, he ran into Zhang Fengxia buying something at the convenience store next door. She looked at Lu Feng and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
"I'm here for a meal. How's work going?"
"Same as always. There's been basically no progress in hiring on Mr. Liu's end. He said he wants to expand his talent pool overseas, but that requires money. For now, he's mainly focused on exterior design drawings. Also, about that sturdy, durable, and affordable color TV you mentioned, who are you having dinner with, Sister Xiaoyan?"
“A friend, you go ahead and do your thing. It’s not good to work here all the time. Go back home in a while. There’s some news about the electronics factory. I’ll fly over there when it happens.”
"Oh, oh!" Zhang Fengxia took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped and asked, "What kind of friend? Male or female?"
"What the hell is it to you? Get out!" Lu Feng pushed and dragged her into the lobby and made her go upstairs.
Zhang Fengxia has a simple and honest sense of justice. She was already unhappy with Su Yourong, but Lu Feng couldn't say certain things to her directly, so he could only try to avoid it.
But this was the only decent hotel in the city. He sighed, went up to the third floor, found a private room, and called Su Yourong out.
