Zhetong's European-style plant covers a very large area, with an actual application area of ​​more than 3,500 hectares.

This number may be difficult for the average person to grasp intuitively.

If you do the math, this is roughly the area of ​​several thousand large football fields.

Domestically, even a large factory owned by BYD only covers a little over 1,700 hectares.

However, Zhetong's largest factory in Europe is almost twice the size of this factory area.

Because the entire southern European region is expected to be powered by this plant, they want to make a big splash.

Of these, about 30% are currently in production capacity, and the remaining capacity will gradually increase as the market expands.

The factory area is huge, and the office and dormitory areas are also quite large.

As soon as Lin Zhe entered the gate, he saw a tall building, which is the main office space of Zhe Tong in Europe.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the factory is located outside the city.

However, it's only a little over an hour's drive from the nearest city center.

In addition, things are quite different here from in China. Here, almost everyone owns a car, so the parking lots in the factory area are quite large and there are several of them.

People can accept commuting here by car.

Some of them live relatively close by, their homes are even near the factory area.

It only takes about ten minutes by car to get there.

Moreover, the dormitories are fully equipped, with all the necessary amenities, and the rooms are quite spacious.

Because the factory area is large enough, there is no need to save space when building dormitories or other facilities.

……

The car drove through the gate and stopped at the entrance.

A line of people is already standing here to welcome us.

There were managers transferred from headquarters, as well as various local executives.

The senior management position must be filled by some locals.

There's nothing that can be done about it; after all, local relationships are complicated when you go to a new place.

Various relationships need to be coordinated and mobilized.

We must assign some local personnel, including frontline staff.

If you go to someone else's territory and don't hire any local employees, all sorts of problems will inevitably arise.

Therefore, some of the senior executives were transferred from headquarters, while others were promoted from other factories in China.

In addition, there are those recruited from Europe.

In addition, a significant proportion of the staff are local employees.

Currently, the factory is expected to operate at about 30% capacity, with most of the remaining production workshops not yet in operation.

Therefore, the number of employees is not yet saturated, and currently only about 40% of the employees have been recruited according to the planned standards.

Even with less than half the manpower, such a large factory still has a workforce exceeding 10,000.

This has provided at least five thousand jobs for the local area, and there will be many more indirect jobs as well, so the approval process for the factory site planning has been relatively smooth.

……

After exchanging greetings, Lin Zhe was guided by staff through the office building to the event venue.

Because there are too many people, more than 10,000 people, the indoor facilities are not suitable.

Therefore, the event could only be held in an outdoor parking lot, and the scene was still quite impressive.

After all, there are more than 10,000 people of all kinds, including those with white skin, black skin, and yellow skin.

Everyone looked very excited.

After all, Zhetong's reputation extends beyond China; it also extends abroad.

For these workers in particular, there is nothing better than finding a good job.

Zhetong treats all its members, both at home and abroad, equally.

Wages are determined based on the local average income level and cost of living.

Basically, any position in Zhetong will pay about 50% more than the equivalent position in the local area.

That's the salary, plus various bonuses and such, which together can reach about twice the amount.

For the same amount of work, you can earn almost twice as much as other companies at Zhetong.

This way, many people want to join Zhetong, and once they're there, they work diligently and want to stay. ...

Stepping onto the stage, Lin Zhe's English level has now improved significantly.

After all, there's Yanxi, such a great oral English teacher, who occasionally gives me instruction.

Another crucial factor is the environment. Now that Lin Zhe is in Binhai, he can frequently come into contact with people who speak English.

The more you talk, the better your skills will naturally become.

……

As usual, Lin Zhe went up and gave a speech.

This was mainly an overview of the group's development plan in Europe.

In addition, the group provides various guarantees for everyone.

Finally, amidst applause, Lin Zhe announced that the factory had officially begun operations.

The atmosphere was equally lively, and Lin Zhe and Yan Xi quickly walked away with smiles and went to the cafeteria.

Lin Zhe has always believed that the cafeteria is quite important.

After all, food is the most important thing for people. When everyone eats well and is in good health, it is beneficial to their work.

In addition, good food is not just about filling your stomach; if it's delicious enough, it can also make you feel happy.

It is beneficial to the mental health of employees.

It just so happens that it's lunchtime, so Lin Zhe definitely has to go and try it out.

The employees were still in the open space, while executives were giving speeches.

So taking Yanxi to the cafeteria this way will allow us to avoid the crowds.

The cafeteria staff were present when Lin Zhe was speaking, but they left early to prepare the food as lunchtime approached.

This time we can still make it.

……

Lin Zhe was quite emotional when he arrived at the cafeteria.

The factory area is huge, and the canteen is also very large, although it is just one of the canteens.

But once inside, you still can't see the end of the tunnel.

I just wandered around and looked around.

It has to be said that this cafeteria can offer a wide variety of cuisines from all over the world.

Many of the delicacies in China have chefs who come from abroad specifically to prepare them.

After all, quite a few people from China come here to work, so their dietary habits naturally need to be taken into account.

Lin Zhe also chatted with a few of his mentors.

They all receive an overseas allowance for working here, since they are far from their hometown.

They were quite satisfied.

Moreover, Lin Zhe casually tasted it and had to admit that the flavor was still excellent.

In a foreign land, you can not only taste the food from your hometown.

These colleagues abroad also have the opportunity to taste the cuisine of China.

This can be considered a form of indirect cultural promotion.

……

Then Lin Zhe went to try some Western food here and chatted with the chef.

Overall, Lin Zhe, the boss, was quite satisfied.

The three things a boss needs to do are: first, make money; second, make sure the employees who work for him make money; and third, take good care of those employees.

As long as you do these three things well.

That's definitely not a problem.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Zhe left the cafeteria with satisfaction, and then the employees began to flock into the cafeteria for lunch.

Lin Zhe, on the other hand, went to other parts of the factory area.

It's good to take a look at the production workshops, warehouses, dormitories, and so on. (End of Chapter)
