Chapter 167
On the day of the recruitment, the entrance was packed with people. The recruitment information was spread through posters and word of mouth among the young colleagues.
Although the factory is located in a remote area, working in a factory is attractive enough to people.
Zhou Jun originally thought it would be very busy, but when he arrived early, he saw young comrades running around helping with errands and introductions, leaving him no room to do anything.
There are various positions for application, with a row of desks arranged, and young comrades are responsible for leading people to line up.
In addition to Lu Qin and Zhou Jun, there were two or three other interviewers who were borrowed from the main factory. They were not familiar with each other, so there was no need to worry about favoritism at all.
The interviews lasted from morning to night, and a total of 260 people were recruited.
The number of positions to be recruited is based on the application process and is provisional. After registration, candidates will take exams if required, and interviews will be conducted if required.
Once the recruitment was completed, every day of delay cost money, so on the third day, we started group training. Each group had three to thirty people. For example, to guard the gate, only two people were needed, one each for the main gate and the side gate.
The training work was Lu Qin's idea, as Life Food Factory had never carried out this step.
Liu Zhi and his team had been assigned the recruitment task, and it felt like a heavy responsibility had been placed on their shoulders. They simply wanted to do things even better. As they stood up to speak, their legs were shaking and their voices trembled. But once they caught sight of Comrade Lu's encouraging gaze from afar, they suppressed their fear and continued.
Zhou Jun glanced at the person next to him. He originally thought that things would be very busy, but it turned out that he really came here to take charge of the overall situation. From the recruitment until now, he had done nothing except drinking tea and talking a few times.
Lu Qin crossed his arms and looked ahead. He noticed his gaze from the corner of his eye and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Jun lowered his gaze to a tanned kid. He changed his tone as the words came to his lips, "Take Dongdong out of the sun. It's quite hot here."
Now everyone in the factory knows this kid. He comes with his uncle on time every day, carrying his schoolbag. After walking around with his hands behind his back, he sits in his uncle's seat to do his homework.
Kong Dongdong looked up when he heard his name, "Uncle, I'm going to do my homework."
Lu Qin's eyes flickered over Kong Dongdong's face. How could this kid darken so quickly? "Remember to finish the water in the kettle."
"Okay." Kong Dongdong walked away with his bag.
Zhou Jun discovered that not only young people, but even children didn't need him to worry about them.
He withdrew his gaze from the child, raised his chin and pointed at the team in front, "Are you confident?"
There was a tacit understanding here. Lu Qin knew what he was asking. "Well, the situation has become so big, you have to have confidence even if you don't have it."
Zhou Jun was speechless for a moment.
The people in the training team in front straightened their shoulders and were extremely serious. They were taught seriously and learned seriously. After learning, they had no problems at all.
The one-week training period passed quickly and the recruited workers began to get started.
Lu Qin didn't take on much work. While the young comrades were still new to the training, he asked them to be responsible for supervision.
After correcting their mistakes, most people have adapted to working in the factory.
But the story wasn't over yet. Lu Qin picked up the newly installed phone. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the new phone connected faster.
Until now, the branch factory director has been a little afraid of hearing the phone call, "Lu Qin"
"Director." Lu Qin addressed him according to his mood. He pushed the cup in front of Kong Dongdong, indicating that he should drink more water. "Director, recruitment is over, and our branch factory has already started production."
Director Ren then asked, "Can the first batch be shipped by the end of the year to take advantage of the rush to buy New Year's goods before the New Year?"
It was now the end of August, a three-month period. Lu Qin thought it was completely possible, as that was what he had planned in mind. "The problem is, their skills aren't as good as the experienced workers, so the quantity might be reduced."
After getting the answer he wanted, Director Ren directly said that it was okay to postpone the time. After that, he didn't believe that Lu Qin called just for this matter, "Is there anything else?"
As expected, a tacit understanding was formed during the work. Lu Qin asked for his opinion, "I think we can try a new product. What do you think, Director?"
Director Ren made a pause gesture and asked the new secretary beside him not to speak. The new secretary was recently hired. Lu Qin had a job in Ningchuan City and would definitely not come back.
"The new product is the one you mentioned last time. Tell me about it in detail."
Lu Qin, "This product is a snack for a classmate of mine. It's not available on the market right now. I asked around, and they have plenty of raw materials, which makes it very convenient for us. Do you think we can produce a small batch to give it a try?"
Director Ren was silent for a moment, carefully recalling the taste of the biscuits. The only thing that impressed him was that the biscuits were very crispy and fragrant. They had completely deviated from the original taste of the biscuits and incorporated some crispy dried fruits.
Coming back to his senses, he said, "You should discuss this matter with Zhou Jun and start with a small batch production to see how it goes."
The most important thing the factory should do at present is to gain a firm foothold first. Branch factories have been built, and the rest are just small-scale operations.
Lu Qin probably figured out Director Ren's idea. "Okay, then when the factory's products come out, I'll send some back for you to taste."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qin tapped the table with his index finger, already thinking about getting some materials from Cao Hai's hometown.
It is summer vacation now, and Lu Qin still remembers the phone number of the brigade where Cao Hai's family is located.
Zhou Jun shared an office with him. When he entered, he saw him standing there, thinking he had encountered a problem. "What's wrong? What difficulties have you encountered?"
A smile appeared on Lu Qin's face. "I'm thinking about new products. Boss, come over here and I want to discuss something with you."
Although they were in similar positions, Lu Qin still addressed him that way. Zhou Jun was not used to it, but he just went along with it.
Seeing him coming over, Lu Qin told him what they had just said on the phone, "Boss, do you have any opinions on the new product?"
Zhou Jun adjusted his glasses and said, "The factory director told us to decide, and he didn't mention any other conditions."
Lu Qin shrugged his shoulders in denial. He stood up and said, "Why don't you think about it again? My aunt asked you to come home with me for dinner, but you refused last Mid-Autumn Festival. Can you leave?"
The main reason is that this time is not suitable for making phone calls, in the middle of the afternoon.
The topic changed so quickly that Zhou Jun couldn't react. Although they were not very busy, they had spent four months in the factory.
"Wait for me."
Zhou Jun said something and went back to pack his things.
Lu Qin rubbed his brows and turned around to see Kong Dongdong sitting upright doing his homework. He almost forgot about it.
"Uncle, are we going home?" Kong Dongdong understood. He closed his textbooks, put them neatly in place, and put them back into his schoolbag one by one.
Seeing his actions, Lu Qin was speechless about what was about to come out of his mouth.
The factory was bustling with activity, and the two men took advantage of the break to leave.
The factory rules were posted at the main entrance, and one of the most popular rules was a weekly performance evaluation, which accumulated results until December and could be exchanged for gifts at the end of the year. Furthermore, the evaluation was transparent and had a red stamp made by Lu Qin.
That red stamp is even more tempting than a salary. It's not just about comparison; it's also about the reputation that people care about most. Good news spreads far and wide.
Lu Qin understands people's hearts thoroughly.
Everyone can see it during work hours and off-get off work hours, as long as they enter through the main entrance.
It's not just this one rule that's appealing, but also the fact that people can upload photos for the Person of the Year selection and use them for submissions. This is all about raising their enthusiasm.
When the three of them went out, people were crowded together in front of the bulletin board, and it was very lively.
Lu Qin had a standard smile on his face. Regardless of whether he knew them or not, he greeted them one by one before leaving.
