Chapter 605: Doing Your Best (First Update, Please Subscribe)
"Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, our factory not only has the best equipment from Nanhua Machinery Company, but our workers are also skilled workers, so the quality of our products is definitely guaranteed!"
Li Zhexin answered seriously, but at the same time, his head was shaking faster and faster.
He has run a factory in Nanyuan for three years, and this time is an opportunity he has finally found - to become a downstream parts supplier for Nanhe Locomotive Company!
Today, someone from Nanhe Locomotive Company came and started asking questions. Li Zhexin answered them one by one. Finally, after three hours of question-and-answer session and the other party fully inspected the factory's equipment and technical capabilities, the atmosphere in the office was no longer as tense as before.
"Well, Manager Li, there is basically no problem with your factory, just wait at home for good news!"
finally!
Li Xinzhe almost jumped up and shouted loudly. After three years of hard work, he finally saw the reward!
After seeing off the guests, Li Zhexin paced around the office for a while with a smug look on his face.
If he gets this business, he can expand his factory. In a few years at most, he, Li Zhexin, will be qualified to sit in the front row of the annual industrial meeting.
With this in mind, Li Xinzhe called his assistant Gao Sheng in and instructed:
"Assistant Gao, go to Industrial Bank and talk to Manager Sun. Tell them that we have already won the order from Nanhe Locomotive. Ask them to approve the loan. Also, ask Nanhua to prepare the equipment we ordered!"
"Yes! --By the way, Manager, there is a Mr. Shen who has been waiting for you outside. He said it's about Zhang Dachun's matter?"
Gao Sheng’s words made Li Xinzhe frown.
"Zhang Dachun? Wasn't he discharged from the hospital? Is there anything else going on?"
Li Zhexin hesitated for a moment, and said as if he was very unhappy:
"Let him in!"
"Nanhe locomotive..."
Thinking of the business that had just been negotiated, Li Xinzhe felt cheerful, so when Mr. Shen came in, there was actually a hint of a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, Mr. Shen, what is your relationship with Zhang Dachun?"
Li Zhexin leaned forward slightly and asked, his eyes circling around the young man. The young man looked gentle and refined, and seemed to be well-educated and well-mannered.
Shen Yue bowed.
"Manager Li, Zhang Dachun and I are just neighbors."
He stood there and looked at Li Zhexin frankly.
"Oh, it's my neighbor. What brings you here this time?"
"Zhang Dachun's matter."
Shen Yue replied.
"Zhang Dachun? You mean his hand? This is really heartbreaking. To be honest, I admire Dachun very much. He works hard and has good skills. It's a pity that such a person has become a disabled person after such an incident!"
When mentioning the word "what a pity", Li Zhexin felt it was indeed a pity in his heart, because Zhang Dachun was indeed a good worker, and his skills were among the best in the factory. It was indeed a pity that he became a disabled person.
"Manager Li, he is a worker in your factory. He became disabled due to an accident. The factory can't just ignore him, and he has six children."
Shen Yue said.
"Look at what you said. The factory didn't ignore it! Who paid for his hospitalization? Wasn't it paid by the factory? What's more, the factory also paid him an extra three months' salary! It can be considered as doing him justice!"
"that's all?"
"What else can I do?"
Li Zhexin said in astonishment.
"Mr. Shen, does the factory have to support him for the rest of his life? Well, Mr. Shen, I'm just opening a business here, not doing charity. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. I paid for his medical expenses and gave him three months' wages. I've done my best!"
Li Zhexin opened the document on the table with his right hand and said.
"Okay, Mr. Shen, please go back. As for Zhang Dachun, I really can't help you!"
"Can't help?"
Shen Yue said:
"Mr. Li, he had an accident in your factory. According to Nanhua's rules, if a worker has an accident in the factory, the factory must be held responsible."
"Nanhua's rules..."
The muscles on Li Zhexin's face moved as if he was smiling. He finally remembered: This was the rule set by Emperor Shengde when he was in Nanhua. If a worker was disabled due to work, the factory would arrange a job for them like guarding the gate, but they would never be kicked out.
But what can such a useless person do?
Besides, Nanhua’s rules were established many years ago. Are you using Nanhua’s rules to pressure me?
His face dropped, and he said:
"Nanhua's rules? What are the rules? Are they written down in black and white? I remember that there is no such provision in the Factory Management Rules written by His Majesty himself!"
Zhu Xianhai drew on the management regulations of later generations to formulate the "Factory Management Rules". For this era, it is simply a king bomb of scientific enterprise management. Although it was written by an outsider, it can be said to be a sudden emergence in this era of large workshops where factory management relies on experience! Why are Nanhua's enterprises so combat-ready? It is because their management is scientific enough!
In fact, the essence of management is to make full use of human resources in a scientific and rational manner to maximize benefits. The reason why the production efficiency of the 12-hour work system in the Ming Dynasty was more than 50% higher than that of the 14 or 16-hour work system in Europe and the United States was because of scientific management.
Even Li Zhexin had taken management courses. In fact, many small factory owners like him had resigned from large companies and factories to start their own businesses. They had all studied or taken further studies in business schools.
"It's not written there, but you can't just kick someone out of the house just because he or she has become disabled."
"Hey! In my factory, it is my rule not to keep idle people. Besides, the law of the Ming Dynasty says that I must keep them? Okay, Mr. Shen, please go back!"
Li Zhexin sent the guest away directly.
"Manager Li, you are so cruel. Aren't you afraid that people will disgrace you if the news gets out? Aren't you afraid that the workers in the factory will quit their jobs?"
Shen Yue had no intention of leaving, but looked at Li Zhexin's face confidently.
"Is it shameful to be a human being? Humph, I want to see what is shameful about doing business openly!"
Li Zhexin said.
"Quit your job? That's their freedom. They think they don't need me to support them if they move to another place. It's up to them. I really don't believe it! Come on, Mr. Shen, this is how business works. No family would support an idler!"
The reason why he said this so arbitrarily was because he knew very well that Nanhua’s rules... those were Nanhua’s rules, but there was not only one Nanhua in the Ming Dynasty, and besides, Nanhua had long been a thing of the past!
"Manager Li, you will definitely regret this!"
Shen Yue said this to Li Zhexin when he was "asked to leave".
"regret?"
Li Zhexin sneered.
"What are you regretting? How can you achieve great things with such a woman's kindness?"
