Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

However, this would mean adding nearly 300 more employees, which is quite a significant investment for Director Zheng, since the ceramics factory was originally a handicraft factory, and handicraft factories certainly don't have many employees.

This immediately added nearly 300 people, which is a significant increase for a ceramics factory. The branch factory alone added more than 200 people, while the old factory's porcelain painting workshop only added about ten staff members.

However, this is the standard that Li Feng is currently proposing for the report. As for whether it will be approved, that depends on Director Zheng's efforts, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Because Director Zheng is the person in charge of the factory, while the factory's Party Secretary is generally only in charge of daily life and discipline.

As for everything else, Director Zheng will be in charge.

After drafting the report, Li Feng checked it again. Finally, when Li Feng was sure there were no other problems, he left his office and went into Director Zhou's office next door.

At that moment, Director Zhou was drinking tea when he saw Li Feng enter with a folder. He smiled and welcomed Li Feng.

"Director Li, you must be quite busy these days?"

Li Feng walked into Director Zhou's office with a smile, then placed the folder he was carrying on Director Zhou's desk, and then smiled at Director Zhou.

"This is my latest draft document on staffing and personnel reform. Please take a look and see if there are any omissions."

Director Zhou was surprised that Li Feng had finished the report so quickly, and asked Li Feng in astonishment.

"You finished the report in just a few days?"

Li Feng nodded and then answered Director Zhou.

"Why".

"Haven't I been working overtime at home for several days now?"

"These past few days, I've been going to bed after midnight every day."

"Director Zhou, to be honest, this overtime work has exhausted me so much that I feel like I'm a bit anemic."

At this moment, Li Feng pointed to his face and said.

"Look at it, isn't it yellow?"

Director Zhou adjusted his glasses, then looked closely at Li Feng's face before slowly nodding to him.

"Um!".

"It is indeed a bit yellow."

"Director Li, you are still young, you should pay attention to your health."

"Health is the foundation of everything."

Li Feng nodded to Director Zhou.

"I know!".

"Isn't this a bit rushed?"

"Please take a look and see if there's anything I need to change?"

"If so, I'll revise it immediately."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhou finally turned his attention to the report on the table.

He then nodded and began to carefully read the report written by Li Feng.

Director Zhou was observing very carefully at this moment, since this personnel reform was related to the porcelain painting workshop.

Therefore, Director Zhou carefully read through the information about the porcelain painting workshop, but he only glanced at the information about the branch factory and then paid no further attention to it.

After all, he had no say in the branch factory's affairs; at most, he could only introduce his relatives to work there.

Director Zhou did know a bit about the work content in the branch factory workshop: general workers!

It requires no technical skill; anyone can do it.

So when it comes to recruiting later, Director Zhou plans to go to the personnel department to talk to Section Chief Huang and ask him to help him get a few people in.

It's not easy to find a job these days. This time, the branch factory is hiring more than 200 people at once. I have to help those relatives who have asked me for help.

After all, life isn't easy for anyone.

Like before, even if I wanted to help, there was nothing I could do.

After all, the ministry only allocated so many positions, and even his own son had to work as a temporary worker before becoming a permanent employee.

But there's nothing we can do about it. We need to find so many people this time, and they're all general workers.

So he planned to introduce his relatives to work at the branch factory.

As for salary, it wasn't mentioned in Li Feng's report, but Director Zhou felt it could be based on the standard rate.

If that's the case, then the treatment is quite good.

After reading the report, Director Zhou closed the folder and then asked Li Feng a question.

"Director Li".

"Isn't it redundant to put all the staffing quotas in the personnel department?"

Li Feng hadn't expected that Director Zhou was focused on this issue, so he immediately began to explain to Director Zhou.

"Director Zhou, it's not entirely unnecessary."

“According to the previous model in our workshop, the staffing will be implemented in the groups later.”

"If all the staffing is handled by the personnel department, it will save a lot of trouble. After all, you should know the benefits of unified management."

"And this also makes it easier to mobilize them."

"In the future, if any group needs to borrow people, just let the personnel department know."

"It's just a matter of filling out a form, which saves us from running around to different departments and getting signatures from layer upon layer."

"Wouldn't that be much more convenient?"

In fact, Li Feng's system is similar to a registration system, with total volume control but not specific to individuals. Anyway, the main thing for ceramic factories is performance, and as for how to manage it...

The workers didn't have much of an opinion.

As for cadres, that can't be done that way, since all cadres are managed by the organization.

So no matter what, Li Feng's job is at most to make some changes to the factory and determine the number of employees.

Once the three-stage process is complete, then it's time to start recruiting.

However, the current progress is still with Director Zhou. After Director Zhou approves it, it still needs to be approved by Factory Director Zheng. After Factory Director Zheng approves it, a meeting of senior factory officials will be held to vote on whether to approve it.

Generally speaking, as long as Director Zheng agrees, no one in the factory's senior management meeting will usually object.

Once approved, it can be reported to the ministry. After the ministry approves it, it will be sent to the Organization Department for a meeting and discussion.

Anyway, once it's approved by Director Zheng, I won't have to worry about anything else.

After all, Li Feng couldn't control what happened next.

At this moment, Director Zhou felt that Li Feng's explanation seemed to make some sense, and then he spoke directly to Li Feng.

"Alright!"

"Take this to Director Zheng."

Then Director Zhou glanced at his watch and said to Li Feng, "At this hour, Director Zheng shouldn't be in his office."

Li Feng asked Director Zhou with some confusion.

"Where is Director Zheng?"

So Director Zhou spoke directly to Li Feng.

"Director Zheng went to a meeting at the ministry today."

"Since you're free now, why don't you sit here for a while?"

At this moment, Li Feng immediately shook his head at Director Zhou and said...

"I still need to write about the methods of drawing Western-style portraits later!"

"This time, Director Zheng is determined to improve the quality of the new color team members."

Director Zhou immediately understood that it was Factory Director Zheng who requested it.

So Director Zhou immediately instructed Li Feng to compile the drawing guidelines. (End of Chapter)
