Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 162 Marriage
Li Lei is not at all surprised by the hot sales of tractors. It is still the same as the previous sentence. Nowadays, the supply is in short supply. As long as you can produce qualified products, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them. What’s more, this tractor is still theirs. After market research, high-quality products specially developed for the needs of ordinary people.

Moreover, there is also a huge advantage in price. No matter what era, cost performance is the most concerned issue for most consumers.

It is more than 500 yuan cheaper than Dongfanghong's small four-wheeled tractor, but its performance is similar, and it also has the advantage of fuel consumption. So even if the service life is a little short, they will still choose Shifeng tractor.

If you want to buy Dongfanghong, you need to borrow more money, or save more money for a few years, and drive the Shifeng tractor home early, and earn several times the price difference. This account is not difficult at all.

It is easy to make money with tractors. Now that the economy is gradually improving, more and more people are engaged in construction and business. However, the short board of transportation capacity has not been made up. The long-distance transportation must be dominated by large trucks, especially for short-distance transportation. For transportation between villages and towns, tractors are more cost-effective.

Pulling stones for road construction sites, helping to transport bricks for building construction, helping to transport food when paying public food, there are opportunities to make money everywhere, it depends on whether you can grasp it.

The carts pulled by donkeys and mules can also earn this money. In "The Ordinary World", didn't Sun Shaoan save his first pot of gold with this?

In "The Ordinary World", Sun Shaoan spent 100 yuan on a shelf cart, and another 90 yuan on a three-year-old iron-green mule. The sum is almost enough to hold half a tractor, but the mule pulls a shelf cart Efficiency cannot be compared with tractors anyway.

Sun Shaoan earned 2000 yuan in a few months by using a mule-drawn cart to transport bricks. What if he bought a tractor?Isn't it crazy to make money?

Nowadays, the freight on small construction sites is calculated according to the efficiency of mules and donkeys pulling rack carts, so they charge a high price of one penny and one yuan. The arrival of tractors is definitely a blow to dimensionality reduction, and one or two ordinary workers can be replaced in a day. monthly salary.

People are not stupid. When they see how profitable it is to buy tractors, they will naturally follow suit. Under the combined effect of many factors, Shifeng Agricultural Machinery Factory ushered in a sales boom not long after its establishment. In just a few months, the factory was built. All of the investment has been recovered and a profit has been realized.

But Li Lei did not relax his vigilance because of this. He knew that such a good day of lying down and earning money would eventually pass one day, and the competition in the future would only become more intense.

So he emphasized a few things during the meeting. First of all, it is still a quality problem. No matter what time it is, the quality cannot be ignored. The production and quality inspection links must be strictly controlled. Like a state-owned enterprise, it is easy to pay the tuition fee and deal with it.

Secondly, pay close attention to research and development, and develop new tractors that are more suitable for the needs of ordinary people as soon as possible. Now that tractors can make money, there will definitely be township enterprises flocking to them. This is not the case in the past. The era of the era has come, and enterprises that cannot adapt to the development of the times will definitely be eliminated.

When focusing on research and development, you can’t build a car behind closed doors. The staff in charge of research and development have to spare time to go to the village every month to chat with the local people who drive tractors, understand their needs, listen to their complaints and praises, and drive them in person. Take the tractor out for a run to see if the situation is as they said.

The sales department also needs to return to customers on a regular basis, sort out their opinions and suggestions, and then submit them to the company. Everyone holds a meeting to study together, and in turn guides research and development.

Of course, as a business owner, you can’t just issue orders, you must do a good job in supporting the work, for example, if the sales department’s summary is good and has played an important guiding role in R&D and production work, then you have to give rewards, so that Only when everyone works together can they be motivated.

As for the research and development department, there is also a subsidy for the inspection below, and the sales of the tractors developed are good, and they also have corresponding commissions and bonuses. In this way, even if Li Lei does not urge them, they will actively understand the needs of consumers in order to earn more money. Introduce products that are more suitable for the market.

So when a new batch of YTO workers who were either fired or retired early to let their children take over the shift entered Shifeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, and then saw the working enthusiasm of those former colleagues, they suddenly felt different.

Why are those guys who knew how to mess around in the factory before working so hard now?In the past, if I was lazy, they would follow suit, but now they not only stop being lazy, but also urge me not to be lazy. Is this not the wrong medicine?

But after they got their first month's salary, they stopped talking immediately, put away the bad habits of the past, and worked harder one by one, and gained as much as they did. Under such circumstances, who Willing to be lazy?You don't want to earn more money to buy TV sets and bicycles?
Soon, the existing production efficiency of Shifeng Agricultural Machinery Factory could not keep up with the demand, and salesmen from all over the country kept urging Li Lei to build a new factory building as soon as possible to expand the production scale.

Building a factory and buying equipment are all easy to do. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can get it done in a short time. However, it is not so easy to recruit qualified workers. After all, employees are a minority, and retired soldiers who are familiar with machinery are also favorites. Most of them are resettled when they return to their hometowns, and not many people will come to him.

Li Lei called a meeting with his staff, and Kou Bin, the purchasing manager who often runs outside, helped him think of a way, "Boss, have you heard about the explosion-proof equipment factory in SY City?"

Kou Bin's words were like enlightenment, opening up a new way for Li Lei to attract talents. This way can find many more talents than the previous methods.

In recent years, township enterprises have developed rapidly, but life for state-owned enterprises has become more and more difficult. Although the country is also constantly intensifying the reform of state-owned enterprises, due to various reasons, it is difficult for these reform methods to achieve large-scale success. results.

Some enterprises are really unable to survive, and can only rely on local blood transfusions to maintain their operations, but local finances are also very tight, and they are unwilling to throw money into these bottomless pits, so some new reform methods come It came into being.

At the beginning of 1985, the Collective Economy Office of the SY Municipal Government completed the drafting of the "SY City Trial Regulations on the Handling of the Bankruptcy of Urban Collective Industrial Enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as the "Trial Regulations"), which was officially passed at the meeting on February 2. Issued in the form of a municipal government document, this marks the official start of Shenyang's enterprise bankruptcy pilot work.

Shenyang Explosion-Proof Apparatus Factory is a small collective ownership enterprise with less than 1984 employees.Due to poor management, by the end of 48, the factory had suffered losses year after year, and the total debts had reached [-] yuan.

On August 1985, 8, in accordance with the requirements of the "Trial Regulations", the SY City Government issued a "Bankruptcy Warning Notice" to three companies that suffered serious losses and were insolvent, namely, the SY City Explosion-proof Apparatus Factory, the SY City Hardware Foundry Factory, and the SY City No. 3 Agricultural Machinery Factory. "Yellow card: a one-year time limit for rectification, and those who fail to recover after the time limit will officially declare bankruptcy.

"When I went to the Northeast to buy accessories, I went there to find out. It has been more than half a year since these factories were given yellow cards. These factories have also thought of some methods, but they are still useless. In September, some factories are really going to go bankrupt and liquidate!" Kou Bin told them what he had seen and heard in Northeast China.

"There are quite a lot of factories like this in the Northeast. Many factories can't pay their wages, and the workers don't have any work. They barely live on such a small amount of living expenses every month! When I was drinking with people, I revealed a little. With a little wind, many people are willing to come to work in our factory!"

"Look, can we go to the Northeast to recruit some workers? Or find those agricultural machinery factories that are about to go bankrupt, and ask the workers in the factories to suspend their jobs and come to work here?"

"This is a good idea, but we don't have a staff here. Are they willing to come?" Li Lei asked. There are so many state-owned enterprises in Northeast China, and they have developed a problem of depending on the staff. At the same time, even after experiencing a big layoff, this prejudice has not been completely reversed.

"The establishment sucks! I also have the establishment, so I was fired?" When he mentioned this, Kou Bin was full of resentment, "No matter how good the establishment is, we have to survive. I can only go to the south to work. Since it is a part-time job, as long as I can earn money, where should I go? They can go to Guangdong, why can’t they come to us?”

"Besides, we don't need many people, just a few hundred workers. Compared with the total number of workers in Northeast China, it's just a drop in the bucket!"

In the first 30 years, the Northeast was definitely a good place. The status of the eldest son of the Republic and many heavy industry bases made the Northeast one of the best economic regions in the country. Shenyang and Dalian were once among the top ten cities in the country.

However, after the reform and opening up, the Northeast has gradually declined. If you want to talk about the reasons, it is complicated. The chronic illness of state-owned enterprises is certainly one of the reasons, but it is certainly not the most important.

The reform and opening up aimed to develop foreign trade, and the coastal areas had natural advantages, so Guangdong, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Fujian and even Shandong all developed, and they took advantage of their location advantages to attract investment and develop the economy.

The geographical position of the Northeast is too remote, and the climate is cold. If you want to develop foreign trade, you can only go to the north. But the situation in the north is like this now, and it is naturally difficult for them to develop.

Dalian is a little exception, and can take advantage of its location to develop trade with Japan. Therefore, Dalian has become the city with the best momentum of economic development in Northeast China.

However, Dalian alone cannot drive the development of the entire Northeast. Coupled with other reasons, the decline of the Northeast has become inevitable. Although the country has introduced a series of measures such as "revitalizing the old industrial base" in the future, there is still no way to save the Northeast. As a result, the Northeast has become the area that suffers the most from the mass layoffs.

"The skilled workers in Northeast China are among the best in the country in terms of quantity and quality. If you can attract workers from Northeast China, you won't have to worry about the lack of workers not only now, but also in the next few years or even ten years! Since you proposed this method, If you come out, you will be responsible!" Li Lei handed over this important task to Kou Bin.

"Look at the number of workers needed for the new workshop, how many people are needed, and how much money, I will give you! The only thing you have to do is to recruit enough workers before the new factory is built!"

"Oh, by the way, there is another point. When recruiting, try not to look for a factory or a city. Go to a few more places and spread the spots, so that it will be more convenient when you recruit people next time!" Kou Bin is troublesome now, but it will be convenient in the future.

When the time comes to recruit workers, it is basically enough to call a few local workers to follow up and ask them to talk to familiar workers.

Moreover, it can also avoid the problem of clustering together. If more than 100 workers come from one factory, Zou Chunsheng probably won't be able to manage it.

"Understand, understand!" Kou Bin is an old employee of a state-owned enterprise, so he naturally knows what Li Lei's concerns are. The three of us have one person and one province, and we can quickly recruit enough people!"

"Well, for every person you recruit, as long as you can pass the assessment, I will give you a five-yuan bonus. If there are senior talents, such as seventh-level workers, eighth-level workers, engineers, etc., the bonus will be doubled!" Li Lei never knows how to draw cakes, he only gives people real benefits.

Now Kou Bin became more motivated, "Boss, you have said that, so even if I cheat, I will cheat a few eighth-level workers back!"

The eighth-level workers are indeed the treasures of every factory, and they are definitely reluctant to let them go on weekdays, but if the factory cannot survive, the eighth-level workers will naturally be unable to keep them.

Kou Bin hurried to the northeast with two of his men the next day. Xiao Niu got off at Shenyang Station first, and Xiao Ma got off at Changchun Station. , directly found local acquaintances, and inquired about the situation of several machinery factories.

Then I asked my acquaintances to introduce me, and introduced a few prestigious workers in the factory. Everyone sat down and drank first. After a few glasses of wine, when talking about the situation in the factory, everyone sighed.

At this time, Kou Bin showed off the treatment of Shifeng Factory again, and someone immediately asked, and the next thing was a matter of course, although most workers in state-owned enterprises were unwilling to leave the factory, let alone travel so far away. , but there are so many people.

Within half a month, Kou Bin brought a large number of workers from Northeast China, and the new workshop was quickly put into production, temporarily relieving the pressure of insufficient production.

Not long after the start of the new workshop, it was summer vacation, and it was also the day when Li Lei and Yu Jingshu got married, and Erdaowan Village became extremely lively.
