National Tide 1980.

In the capital, Ning Weimin's newly recruited subordinates can be said to have placed his chess pieces at the most important nodes for him.

Ning Weimin, who is far away in Japan, can sit back and watch the changes in the domestic situation. Relying on this opportunity, he will reap great benefits in the near future.

But then again, although Ning Weimin's original intention in making these arrangements was based on the idea of ​​speculation, he was trying to seize high-quality resources in advance when they were the cheapest, and was playing a money game of risking a small amount for a big gain.

However, because of his layout and intervention in many business fields in Beijing over the years, he has brought positive changes to many physical enterprises in Beijing.

Even if it was unintentional, he promoted the rapid development of the capital's real economy and brought opportunities and motivation to improve the lives of many ordinary people.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the Buddha of all families.

For example, the service providers that provide him with clothing and trolley case manufacturing services - the Meishi Street Garment Factory and the Beijing Leather Goods Factory No. 3 under the Light Industry Bureau - are now very different from the past.

Let’s first talk about the insolvent leather goods factory No. 3.

Despite the fact that there is Cheng Zhi, a good factory manager who was born in the grassroots and understands the suffering of the people.

But because he was taking on the task at a critical juncture, the basic conditions of the Leather Goods Factory No. 3, which had a lot of debts, were too poor.

Although Cheng Zhi successfully turned the company from loss to profit after taking office, he was only able to pay the wages of more than one hundred workers by taking orders from everywhere.

As for medical expenses, it is not possible to get full reimbursement, and paying off the factory’s debts is even more of a distant prospect.

If we also take into account the increasingly drastic price fluctuations of raw materials from 1987 to 1988.

If Ning Weimin had not sent this factory such a lucrative order for trolley cases, the slight improvement that the factory had just shown would have been ruined again because the factory was unable to withstand the risk of rising raw material prices.

Fortunately, Ning Weimin took a liking to them.

Today, Leather Goods Factory No. 3, because of long-term orders, provides Ning Weimin with more than 14,000 travel trolley cases every month. Combined with other miscellaneous orders, the annual gross profit has reached one million.

After deducting the factory operation and production costs, the annual net profit has reached 600,000 yuan.

You know, the military order that Cheng Zhi gave to the Light Industry Bureau was only a net profit of 50,000 yuan a year.

So even though this leather goods factory with more than 100 employees is still burdened with debt, it cannot be said that it is on the road to glory.

But considering the factory's thriving situation, long-term profits are fairly guaranteed, and the employees' morale is high, it can be said that there is basically hope for a turnaround.

Even if the status quo is maintained without any changes, as long as the factory works hard for another year according to the existing model, it will be basically no problem for it to pay off all its debts.

What's more, Cheng Zhi is not a person who is content with a small fortune. After visiting Ning Weimin during the Spring Festival, he began to recruit workers, intending to expand the scale of the factory from the current staff of more than 1988 people to about people in , and at the same time increase the output to suitcases per month.

And that’s not all. Ning Weimin also acted as a matchmaker and helped the Leather Goods Factory No. 3 secure an OEM order for 2,000 handmade suitcases.

He asked Cheng Zhi to lead the technical backbones of the factory to try to make a few imitations of his Louis Vuitton suitcases, and then mailed them to the headquarters of LVMH in France in his own name, along with the OEM price.

This batch of samples really impressed the other party with its high cost-effectiveness. In mid-March, French LVMH had already sent a faxed contract, drawings and specific production requirements.

For Ning Weimin's sake, not only was half of the advance payment given, but a generous six months was also given.

As long as the third leather goods factory can guarantee the quantity and fulfill the order on time as agreed in the contract, there will definitely be follow-up to such lucrative cooperation in the future.

In this way, it can be fully expected that the production and profits of the Leather Goods Factory No. 1988 will definitely reach a higher level in and achieve a considerable figure.

So even though the current domestic economic situation is not very good, with the overseas orders brought by Ning Weimin, the various problems that have plagued the Leather Goods Factory No. 3 in the past no longer exist.

This small factory, which has never been taken seriously, will suddenly transform itself into a rare foreign exchange earning enterprise under the Light Industry Bureau.

Seeing that the old burden was about to become a big wallet with continuous blood supply, not only would the Light Industry Bureau no longer underestimate such a small factory, but even Director Li, who introduced this cooperation project, felt proud and earned some credit from it.

Looking at it from the other side, those big factories that looked down upon Ning Weimin's order at the beginning are no longer having the same good time as they did last year. The price fluctuations of raw materials have a greater impact on them, and all they can do is envy and regret.

As for the garment factory on Meishi Street.

Since the beginning, this factory mainly served the three clothing brands registered by Ning Weimin personally.

So as Yin Yue expanded the clothing store bit by bit, the scale and output of this clothing factory also expanded synchronously.

Up to now, Yin Yue has opened ten stores in major downtown areas of Beijing.

Nowadays, clothing consumption is booming. On average, the monthly sales of various types of clothing combined are more than 20,000 pieces.

Such orders are not only enough to satisfy the street clothing factories, but also make them full.

Not to mention that the factory's gross profit has increased from an average of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per month to around 150,000 yuan, even the income and number of workers have basically doubled.

However, even though the Street Garment Factory has expanded from 60 employees to nearly 100 employees in the past three years, it still frequently encounters a problem where the production speed of popular clothing cannot keep up with the sales speed.

Especially after the Spring Festival, Ning Weimin's sportswear brand, Guofeng, and Pierre Catton China Head Office jointly decided to sponsor all the clothing for the domestic Olympic delegation.

This is equivalent to forcing the street clothing factories in Meishi Street to further expand their scale and increase production.

Otherwise, once the Olympic advertising effect is realized, the store will not have enough goods to sell, which would then become a hindrance to the garment factory. How could they be worthy of Ning Weimin, their benefactor?

So, in mid-April, the street clothing factory even stopped production for three days just for one thing - moving.

It turned out that the original factory site was no longer sufficient to support the continued expansion of the garment factory, so Director Li of the street simply merged the cloth shoe factory, which also belonged to the street, with the street garment factory.

This cloth shoe factory has more than sixty employees, and the factory area itself is nearly four hundred square meters.

Moreover, there is a row of empty rooms at the back which were originally used by the street to store confiscated materials.

Now that the confiscated materials have been basically returned, the houses are now vacant, so the two places can be combined into one, with an area of ​​800 to 900 square meters.

It can let the street clothing factories help the cloth shoe factories, increase equipment, develop new varieties, and change the current situation of low efficiency and inventory backlogs of the cloth shoe factories.

At the same time, the garment factory now has a total factory area of ​​nearly 800 to 900 square meters, as well as additional manpower, which can meet the garment factory's requirements for expanding production.

The second thing the garment factory did after moving was to adjust personnel and continue recruiting workers.

The merger of the two factories sounds good, but in fact it is equivalent to the garment factory absorbing the cloth shoe factory. Then, as the director of the garment factory, Su Jin must be the stronger party and plays the role of the top leader.

So when the two factories merged, his first order was to reduce the number of staff in cloth shoe production by half and set up a shoemaking workshop.

Then the extra thirty people were assigned to the packaging department.

In addition, he also needs to recruit two additional crews, consisting of about sixty general workers.

The production line in the production workshop of a garment factory is based on "groups". One production line is a car group.

There are approximately thirty production workers in each group.

Su Jin plans to recruit more than 60 additional people, who can be divided into two crews.

Su Jin plans to use it to produce as much of the same Olympic sportswear as possible under the "Guofeng" brand before the Olympics.

Under ideal circumstances, the daily cargo output of these two train sets can reach thousands of pieces.

Of course, in addition to general workers in the garment workshop, we also need to recruit two workshop supervisors, cutting machines and office staff.

Among these people, the position of workshop supervisor is the most important.

Supervisors are grassroots managers in production workshops and require considerable experience.

Theoretically, the reasonable number of people a workshop supervisor should manage should be between twenty and forty.

If the number exceeds this, the workshop supervisor will be too busy and management loopholes will easily occur.

If the number is lower than this, the garment factory will have too many managers and will be overstaffed, resulting in a waste of management costs.

Therefore, in general, one workshop supervisor is suitable for managing one vehicle group.

For such roles, Su Jin can only re-hire people who have retired from large factories. There is no other good solution at the moment.

As the number of employees in the workshop increases dramatically, the number of office staff must also increase accordingly.

Originally, in addition to Su Jin, the factory director, the garment factory office also had an accountant, a cashier, a clerk and a merchandiser.

Now, Su Jin decided to hire another clerk and a merchandiser, and clearly divide the functions of personnel management, logistics, external liaison, etc. and assign them to the office clerk.

Of course, we also need to recruit people for technical jobs such as cutting machines and pattern makers.

For example, Su Jin is also a pattern maker, but his work has increased as the garment factory expands.

For the pattern making work, Su Jin only needs to give the general direction, and the specific work still has to be done by a professional pattern maker.

In general, Su Jin's spending was beyond everyone's imagination. Even Director Li, who agreed to his expansion, did not expect his appetite to be so big.

In fact, when looking at the recruitment list he listed.

Not only the director of the cloth shoe factory was stunned for a moment.

Director Li and Aunt Bian were also a little unsure.

"We've hired more than 70 people, plus the existing staff at the cloth shoe factory, that's almost 120 people. Xiao Su, aren't you moving too fast?"

Director Li took a deep breath and did some calculations in his mind. The scale of the street factory had suddenly expanded from more than 60 people to 180 people, almost doubling!

So he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Su, can you handle the sudden increase to 180 people? It's nice to post a recruitment notice, but how are we going to support the people? Even if our factory now makes a profit of 1.8 million per year, it doesn't seem easy."

Aunt Bian also complained. "That's right, Xiao Su, I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid that you will set up too much stall all of a sudden, which will hinder our garment factory. How long will it take for these newly recruited people to become qualified workers? Can they really effectively increase our factory's profits? And there's also money to buy equipment. It's not easy for our factory to save some money. You have to think it over carefully..."

The director of the cloth shoe factory had no right to comment on such topics. He could only be surprised at Su Jin's courage and watch how he responded.

"Director, Auntie, don't worry too much. Expansion is the only way to create profits and jobs."

Su Jin said seriously, "In fact, during the Spring Festival, I was also thinking about whether to slow down the pace of expansion. But when I went to give Miss Teresa Teng her custom-made cheongsam, I had already met Mr. Ning. I asked for his opinion in person, but he told me not to worry..."

"Ah, you met Wei Min during the Spring Festival, so...what did he say?" Aunt Bian asked.

"He said that we should have been bolder and gone for it earlier. As long as we can ensure the quality and style and continue to improve production technology, we don't have to worry about shipping. Instead, he will bring us more orders. Even orders settled in foreign exchange."

"Did he really say that? Are you sure it was President Ning who said that?" Director Li was overjoyed.

"Really. I wasn't the only one there at the time. Yin Yue was also there. If you don't believe me, you can call her to verify it."

"Haha, OK." Director Li said nothing more, exchanged glances with Aunt Bian, and nodded to Su Jin.

"Xiao Su, since even Wei Min thinks highly of you, then just go for it. The street will fully support you. Even if you have any financial requirements and we are not able to provide them for the time being, we can still help you solve them."

This time, not only the director of the cloth shoe factory was surprised, but even Su Jin was surprised.

"Director, your words reveal your wealth. What's the matter? Does the street have extra funds? Do you have other sources of income besides our factory?"

This made Director Li laugh again. "Haha, that's right. Don't think you're the only one who's doing a good job. The street won't be able to survive without your garment factory. In fact, our street's handicrafts are also doing well. Look, I'm going to arrange for their people to move into the place you left. To be honest, our handicrafts category will also be expanded into a toy factory. Thanks to Wei Min, our street already has a second cash cow..."

Aunt Bian also echoed the conversation, "Yes, this year, not to mention the straw insects, Ruyi knots, cloth tigers and other small things made by the handicraft club, our street earned more than 100,000 yuan, and the key chains made for the gingerbread man fast food also earned more than 30,000 yuan. Now the gingerbread man wants 20,000 plush toys in the shape of gingerbread men as gifts for the little customers on Children's Day. The advance payment alone gave us 50,000 yuan. What else can be considered a big business? I never thought that these toys for children could make a lot of money..."

Indeed, because of Ning Weimin, so many incredible things have happened in this era.

His benefits went beyond the Street Garment Factory and the Third Leather Goods Factory.

Unintentionally, the move he made casually supported many factories and saved countless people from poverty.

Handicraft service clubs on the streets, in addition to traditional handicrafts, have also begun to make special authorized gifts for gingerbread men.

When the Gingerbread Man first opened, the key chains used as event gifts were the first collaboration between the two parties.

In addition, the ware factory on Donghua City Street also benefited from it. The number of glass cups needed for the gingerbread man fast food alone was not a small number.

There is also the Beijing Arts and Crafts Factory, which produces antique porcelain. Because Ning Weimin became a supplier to Shangri-La, it has sold thousands of sets of tableware.

Even the cardboard factory in Weijia Hutong got involved with Ning Weimin because of the Ma Family Garden incident, and now it has really made a fortune.

This factory originally only produced kraft paper boxes, which were not selling well.

But now the cartons are used regularly by Ning Weimin's affiliated companies, so they just need to focus on production.

Even after the Gingerbread Man opened its business, because of regular demand, they were asked to produce napkins and tin foil lunch boxes on their behalf.

It is easy to imagine what kind of opportunities the Weijia Hutong Street Carton Factory has obtained.

Speaking of which, even Ning Weimin himself probably wouldn't have thought about what kind of effect the butterfly effect he caused would have, and how much impact it would have on the current capital city?

This is the power of him as a space-time intruder. (End of this chapter)
