Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

"...As for the food factory in Nanluoguxiang Street,...it is permissible to allow them to print the six characters 'Asian Games Sponsor Brand' on the outer packaging of their products."

As for advertising, forget about it.

"That factory won't do well." He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment when talking about the Nanluoguxiang Food Factory before finally giving this answer.

He Yuzhu did indeed treat this matter differently.

Given the current situation regarding sponsorship for the Asian Games, Zhang Chaoyang could actually refuse sponsorship offers like this one, which are worth tens of thousands of yuan.

This is different from an instant noodle factory.

The instant noodle factory, after all, holds the title of number one.

Not to mention, the rainwater also sponsored 100,000 yuan.

Even if it's less, the organizing committee wants to maintain a level of publicity for their factory.

However, since the instant noodle factory has donated 100,000 yuan, it basically sets a lower limit for all factories that make donations.

The factories following behind saw that the situation was clear and they could really benefit from the sponsorship.

If the sponsorship fee for those who come in later is less than 100,000, then it would be a bit insincere.

But the Nanluoguxiang Food Factory was different.

If it weren't for He Yuzhu poaching Gou Dan from the food factory to the electronic watch factory...

That factory used to be doing 'quite well'.

At least on the surface, they are still alive.

Dog Egg's best quality is that he has always worked very hard.

It means exactly what it says. Now, Gou Dan works at an electronic watch factory, and he also works more than ten hours a day.

And they do not accept meals or drinks from customers.

However, during the one or two-year hiatus, the quartz watch production line that should have been put into operation by the electronic watch factory has remained unsettled.

Gou Dan didn't report this to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu understood what he meant.

It's better to do what you're good at than what you're unfamiliar with. Since we've already mastered the electronic watch business and have been continuously developing new sales regions in recent years...

If product sales are increasing year by year, then there's no need to develop new products so quickly.

Developing new products means purchasing new production lines, researching new technologies, and hiring more workers, all of which cost a lot of money.

It would be better to simply leave things as they are, at least that way there will be neither gains nor losses.

In other words, Gou Dan is a hardworking and conservative manager in corporate management.

Diligence and conservatism are not contradictory; sometimes, being able to preserve a business is a remarkable achievement.

As the ancients often said, "The talent to maintain the status quo is..."

This idiom seems to have a derogatory meaning.

But what ancient emperors who expanded their territories longed for was someone who could maintain the status quo.

It is no easy feat to preserve what our ancestors left behind and keep it functioning properly.

Putting aside everything else, the food factory collapsed in just two or three years after Gou Dan was poached by He Yuzhu.

There's nothing else. There are no new products, just the same old ones. We can't compete with established pastry brands in terms of taste and quality.

Furthermore, there were significant management problems within the organization.

Everyone, from top to bottom, is a bastard who thinks it's a steal not to take advantage of a good deal.

Those who handle procurement and logistics are all well-fed and clothed.

Those in management also have all sorts of little schemes.

The workers below are overstaffed and have lost all motivation to work diligently.

After two different factory directors, the factory only got worse and worse.

By now, the basic foundation that Gou Dan had built up at the food factory has been almost completely depleted.

Director Chen from Nanluoguxiang has complained to He Yuzhu several times already.

He Yuzhu still felt guilty towards the food factory.

Although he knew very well that the decline of the food factory had actually begun under Gou Dan's leadership.

He wanted to do everything himself and didn't train a capable team for the food factory.

That's why the food factory declined so quickly after he left. But He Yuzhu certainly couldn't say such a thing.

After all, Gou Dan is now doing the work for him.

He didn't expect Gou Dan to have the ability to stand on his own.

He would be satisfied as long as he could fully carry out his intentions.

What are He Yuzhu's intentions regarding the development of the electronic watch factory?

There's nothing else to it; through the development of the electronic watch factory, a group of small, specialized supporting enterprises have emerged.

In the past two years, Gou Dan has handled this matter quite well, and there is nothing to criticize about it.

How could He Yuzhu possibly evaluate this person?

Gou Dan has given He Yuzhu two suggestions.

Both suggestions contain the same content.

In other words, the electronic watch factory can now set up a branch factory in a small southern city.

It saves on logistics costs and reduces expenses, while also serving wholesale markets in the south.

The key is in production costs; we can compete with those small factories in the south.

Furthermore, the development of the South is more suitable for the construction of small, specialized factories.

He Yuzhu approved it.

Since Gou Dan is thinking of expanding the electronic watch factory, let him give it a try. Who knows, he might bring a pleasant surprise to He Yuzhu.

Humans are always making progress.

Maybe Gou Dan can really take the electronic watch factory to a new level.

Of course, those are all long-term plans.

In reality, the current CNC college has benefited from the development of several school-run factories.

They are very wealthy financially.

The profits from the door manufacturing plant, the electronic watch factory, and the large market alone amount to 50 million yuan annually.

Furthermore, there are more than ten smaller factories affiliated with it, all of which were incubated from the larger market.

The annual affiliation fee is also a considerable income.

He Yuzhu had both appreciation and concerns about this, but he didn't intend to directly intervene.

Survival of the fittest; he didn't want to become another Gou Dan.

They're incredibly busy, maintaining a facade of prosperity.

When the day comes that I'm gone.

The spread-out stalls are like a baby without a mother, only able to cry for food from the adults, but lacking the ability to walk on its own.

Even if He Yuzhu expands his business significantly, it still doesn't count as a success.

Therefore, giving subordinates some room to maneuver is a good choice for successful managers.

After get off work, He Yuzhu carried his faux leather bag and strolled leisurely downstairs.

As He Yuzhu went up and down the stairs to the parking lot, students and teachers kept greeting him.

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly, a faint smile on his face, as if he knew everyone.

In fact, he no longer recognizes the vast majority of teachers and students at the school.

There was no way around it; the college was just getting bigger and bigger.

These past two years have been another period of prosperity for engineering studies, and graduates from CNC colleges generally have no trouble finding jobs.

Many large factories are vying to hire them.

"Old Mo, have you made up your mind?" He Yuzhu asked the white-haired driver, Old Mo, as soon as he got in the car.

"Boss, you're giving me face, so I have to accept it."

Since you're thinking of having me rehired and stay for a few more years...

"I'm definitely willing." In the blink of an eye, Old Mo is almost at retirement age.

He Yuzhu was used to him and really didn't want to replace him. (End of Chapter)
