Chapter 939 Shenzhen Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is approaching, and it is rare to see people riding bicycles flocking to work on the streets. People are wearing new clothes to buy new year goods and hold activities. The streets and alleys are a little more festive for the New Year.

People in Shenzhen say that the New Year is called "making a new year". It includes the meaning of "celebrating the New Year" and "celebrating the New Year", as well as the meaning of a road. The locals are all busy enjoying the excitement and joy of the New Year.

In addition, China is a country based on agriculture. Shenzhen used to be an agricultural area. "A year's plan lies in spring." Drinking meat, entertainment and carnival, welcoming the spring and celebrating the spring, from the beginning of Laba to the end of the Lantern Festival, the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival lasts for more than 20 days.

Speaking of which, the customs of the Spring Festival here are similar to those in the north, and have their own characteristics. There is a saying in Shenzhen called "No Goose, No New Year". Basically, the geese are raised by themselves, and some local people are half a year away from the Chinese New Year. I started to think about how to raise the "head animals" by myself. I went to the farmers' market to buy goose seedlings. When I usually hoeed the fields, I used bamboo cages to bring the geese and ducks to the mountain fields. When it was dark, I put the ducks and geese Pick it up, it’s like this every day, you have to make rice and slaughter it during the New Year. For example, in order to make rice cakes for the Spring Festival, some people allocate a few rice fields half a year in advance to grow glutinous rice, and open up a few cents per meter to grow sugarcane and rice. Peanuts are used to extract sugar and oil during the New Year. Women mow the grass early in the mountains to "catch firewood", because they have to steam "round cage board", that is, rice cakes, steamed for more than 10 hours overnight, and it takes old firewood to endure. Burning, there is a folk proverb in the countryside of Shenzhen that "catch firewood and steam the round cage". In order to make the New Year, every household has also done enough work.

But for foreign entrepreneurs like Duan Yun, it is impossible to quickly go to the countryside to do as the Romans do. Moreover, there are few people in restaurants these days, and there are holidays during the Chinese New Year, so the meals during the Chinese New Year have to be prepared by themselves.

Fortunately, Li Guosheng's wife has purchased a large amount of new year's goods more than half a month in advance, and has everything to eat, drink and wear. Duan Yun will definitely spend the first Spring Festival in Shenzhen this year with Li Guosheng's family.

In addition to Duan Yun, Zhao Xuewu also lived in Duan Yun's apartment during the few days before the new year, and went to Li Guosheng's house for three meals a day. Zhao Xuewu was also full of praise for Li Guosheng's wife's cooking skills, and had nothing to do at night Sometimes, he will play chess with Li Guosheng, which is also a rare entertainment activity for the old man after he came to Shenzhen.

As for Li Guosheng's daughter, Li Yun, she is dressed in a fancy dress. Li Yun, who is already a big girl, is more and more charming. Her family's financial conditions are good, and her clothes are changed every three days. They are all the most popular ones bought from Guangzhou. apparel.

Even when the Chinese New Year is approaching, Li Yun will pester Duan Yun to teach her computer and foreign languages ​​whenever he has time. Duan Yun eats and drinks at Li Yun's house these days. usage method.

Now the electronics factory and the machinery factory are in a state of semi-shutdown. Every day, there are only about 10 workers who look after the factory and continue to work. Most of them are locals in Guangzhou. It is still very tempting for them to triple their wages during the Spring Festival. Powerful.

It's finally New Year's Eve 30.

Firecrackers sounded from time to time outside the window, Li Guosheng's wife was busy cooking in the kitchen, Li Guosheng himself was playing chess with Zhao Xuewu in the cabin, while Duan Yun and Li Yun were operating computers in the study, the atmosphere was very warm.

The firecrackers outside are getting more and more dense, and the meals are quickly served on the dining table. The table is filled with chicken, duck, fish, and all kinds of seafood. Five people sit around and turn on the TV. The Spring Festival Gala is playing inside. Under the countdown of the TV clock, several people raised glasses filled with drinks and wine, with happy smiles on their faces.

That night, Duan Yun, Li Guosheng, and Zhao Xuewu all drank a lot of wine and talked a lot. Even though it was the Chinese New Year, they talked a lot about work, but there was a bit of longing in each other's eyes. Can make the enterprise bigger and stronger.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Duan Yun made a long-distance call to his family.

By 85, Wanmen program-controlled telephones had been used in many provinces across the country. For many wealthy people, there was no need to queue up for long-distance calls. In the Longhu Dongyuan Community where Duan Yun lived, basically every household The phone is already installed.

This Spring Festival, his wife Cheng Qingyan and his parents, as well as Duan Yun's mother, Gao Xiuzhi all spent the Spring Festival in Duan Yun's two-story villa. It is said that the night of the New Year's Eve is still very lively.

Duan Yun and Cheng Qingyan talked into the microphone for more than half an hour after Duan Yun paid New Year's greetings to his mother and his father-in-law over the phone. After all, they were newly married couples, and their words were full of sweetness. The two also chatted about the current situation of the companies in the two places.

During Duan Yun's stay in Shenzhen, Cheng Qingyan was not idle. With the help of Cui Linleizi, Zhang Xiulan, and best friend Yu Shulan, Cheng Qingyan became a manager more and more smoothly. During this time, she also received guests from all over the country. Many dealers signed orders for nearly [-] subwoofer speakers, and further optimized the management system of the factory to improve the production efficiency of the factory.

Unlike Duan Yun, Cheng Qingyan borrowed many European and American business management cases in terms of business management. In order to manage the electronics factory well, Cheng Qingyan bought and borrowed a large number of foreign business management books from the local Xinhua Bookstore and library, and soon Apply what you have learned, and apply the systems of some foreign companies to your own electronics factory.

Generally speaking, the management experience of foreign companies often faces the problem of "acclimatization" in China. The main reason for this is that the national conditions at home and abroad are different, and there are great differences in the education level of workers and the quality of nationals. The well-known cases are basically extracted from large foreign companies or even multinational companies, and Duan Yun’s electronics factory in Daxing only has more than 100 workers, and they all come from the same nearby village, so although Duan Yun also set up a A series of strict factory regulations, but in fact, many times it is a management method of man ruled by man.

However, Cheng Qingyan's thinking on management is obviously different from Duan Yun's. She has continuously refined the original factory regulations established by Duan Yun, and the reward and punishment system has become more and more strict and clear, making the whole factory like a precision-running machine, with only rules and no rules. Any human touch at all...
