Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 495 Annual Work Conference
The new year is here.

This year's annual work meeting was held at the Real Estate Research Institute during the New Year's Day holiday.The property here was originally developed by Mr. Wu's real estate company, and there is a large conference room that can be used.But the accommodation is still arranged in the amusement park on Changxing Island.

What is different from the past is that this time the meeting was jointly attended by the real estate research institute, the printing factory, the ceramics factory, the decoration company, Xiao Xiaoxiao's clothing company in Zhenjiang, and the cadres above the middle level of the printing and dyeing factory.

It was Xie Dong's idea to hold a joint meeting.At this time, due to the gradual decline in the economic situation since the second half of last year, the entire domestic economy was buzzing for a while, and the situation became severe.The export of clothing companies has also begun to become confusing, and exports to countries and regions such as Russia and Africa have begun to decline significantly.

Xie Dong changed his thinking, and after a lot of hard work, especially in some large websites, such as Tmall, Jingdong and other platforms, the business management of online sales has gradually become clear and grown.

The two offset each other, and the clothing company as a whole still saw a slight increase.The biggest bright spot is that printing and dyeing factories have maintained a relatively high growth momentum for gray cloth exports to Southeast Asia instead of falling.

But what should clothing companies do next, how to break this bottleneck?Xie Dong and Wang Yiyuan have been thinking about the key issues for several months.

Wang Yiyuan's idea is to move the clothing company's export and domestic sales departments, especially the design department, directly to Shanghai.After all, Shanghai is a big market for clothing consumption, and it is closer to the market for clothing consumption, and can quickly grasp the changes in the market at any time.

The factory in Zhenjiang will only be used as a production and manufacturing base in the future.According to Wang Yiyuan's final idea, this production base can be completely opened to the outside world, not only to produce its own business, but also to undertake the processing of other brand companies.

Of course, the key here is how to find the final customer.Wang Yiyuan believes that moving the company's sales and design departments to Shanghai is definitely better than Zhenjiang, where there is obviously more room and opportunity to find business.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to relocate all these departments.First of all, the various costs in Shanghai, including labor, rent, expenses, etc., are more than one level higher than those in Zhenjiang, and these are real costs.In other words, regardless of whether there is profit or not, these must be invested.

Second, there is a problem of adaptation.The old employees of the company have to adapt to the pace of work and life in Shanghai, and the newly recruited employees have to live and grow together with the company. It takes time to adjust, and it is unlikely to have good results in the short term.

In this way, a bigger problem has arisen. Obviously, in the short term, the investment of clothing companies in Shanghai is greater than the output.And the key is, how long is this investment period?Wang Yiyuan is a layman, so of course he wouldn't plan. I'm afraid even Xie Dong and the others wouldn't know.What if it becomes a bottomless pit?
Later, after several discussions and discussions, Xiao Xiaoxiao agreed that the clothing company could set up an office in Shanghai to conduct business, and put some of these related departments in Shanghai to see the effect first.As for the employees, the old employees are basically the main ones, and appropriate consideration will be given to finding new employees in Shanghai.

And the address of this office is located in the place where the real estate research institute's original intermediary company worked.The daily supervision of the office was placed under Wang Yiyuan.But in terms of specific business, Xie Donglai still directly manages it.

After these were initially settled, Xie Dong proposed the idea of ​​holding a joint working meeting with the two industrial groups in Zhenjiang and Shanghai.Wang Yiyuan thought it was a bit nondescript at first, but Xiao Xiaoxiao also insisted. He thought about it later, and finally agreed.

The reason why Xie Dong came to Shanghai was mainly to broaden the horizons of the management personnel of the clothing company and realize the practical needs of the company to break through quickly. On the other hand, everyone can come and visit the pregnant Xiao Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao's father who is getting better day by day.

Xie Dong felt that Zhenjiang was still a bit smaller after all.Many of the employees in the factory are old employees who have worked for many years. They inevitably follow the same trend in thinking, and their reactions to the market are relatively slow and not so sensitive.

Of course.Because Xiao Xiaoxiao's actions are beginning to be restricted now, it is unlikely that she will go to Zhenjiang often, so it is equivalent to a comprehensive work report to Xiao Xiaoxiao, and it can also let her know the real situation of the employees and the company.

The current real estate research institute, because of the corresponding adjustments to the listing of Mr. Wu's real estate company, has a strong army and a strong horse, and it is another place where we can flex our muscles.In fact, the general direction of the research institute is still controlled by Mr. Wu.The daily work of the institute is managed by Kang Lixin.For the management of nearly a hundred people, he is still dedicated and responsible, and overall it is not bad.

However, since the "National Day" last year, the real estate industry has begun to decline rapidly, and it is now in the most sluggish space, and various bad-mouthing voices in the society have begun to appear again.

The business of the research institute is mainly to undertake the business entrusted by Mr. Wu's real estate company.Because of the care of Mr. Wu and their company, the overall development is not bad now.Although Ren Ziping's school district housing system operates independently, it has been merged into the research institute as an important business of the institute.

There are three main topics in this working meeting.The first is the summary of last year's work, the second is the work deployment for this year, and the last is the highlight of this meeting, the signing of the economic responsibility system assessment.

Since the assessment of the economic responsibility system was launched last year, due to the withdrawal of intermediary companies, it has mainly fallen on printing and ceramic factories, but they have achieved remarkable results.Over the past year, both companies have exceeded their missions.

The biggest highlight is the carton factory in Zhenjiang.Now after the expansion of the site, some simple printing equipment has been newly introduced. In this way, the things printed from Shanghai can be directly processed here. On the one hand, the pressure and pressure of the Wujing factory are saved. The contradiction of insufficient space.On the other hand, it also greatly saves shipping costs.

Especially in terms of business development, the number of salesmen in Zhenjiang Carton Factory has now expanded to four.According to Zhou Wanqiu, it will continue to expand this year and strive to do better than last year's performance.

Wang Yiyuan organized some people to sum up the experience of the implementation of the economic responsibility system assessment, and revised and improved some of the details. This year, it will also be extended to clothing companies and printing and dyeing factories to implement comprehensive coverage.
