Chapter 160 The Xinghai Company has changed a lot
time flies.
December is coming.
Today is the third. According to the boss’s request, Naixue Vice President Yang Nian will go to Xinghai Machinery Company to report to her boss today.
She just "flyed" back from Shenzhen City the day before yesterday. Every time she goes to a city to expand, she needs to go to the local area to take charge of the work. Every other week, she will go back to H City for two or three days to handle the official affairs of H City. By the end of the month
When the time comes, I have to come back and report to my boss.
She joined Naixue Company in May this year. At first, Naixue only had 7 stores. Now, under her leadership, it now has 55 stores.
Although Naixue is developing at a rapid pace, what he is worried about is that strong competitors have emerged to seize market share in the Shenzhen market.
Yang Nian drove to Xinghai as usual. When he arrived at the company's new gate, he glanced out of the car window and found that it had only been more than a month and the company's scale seemed to have reached a new level. He had to sigh at the pace of development of Xinghai and the progress of China's infrastructure.
speed!
What a big change!
Maybe she was busy, but she felt like she hadn't been here for a long time, so she entered through the old factory gate last time.
The doorman saw the unfamiliar BMW, glanced at the driver, and found that he looked familiar. He remembered that he was also the leader of the company, and quickly raised the gear lever to let the car in.
She smiled at the doorman, polite and elegant throughout, without any leadership airs.
When Yang Nian first came to the company, he drove a Mercedes-Benz S350L, and later changed it to a BMW 730Li.
When I arrived at the general manager's office, I saw the ajar red solid wood door and knocked. The boss inside raised his head. When he saw her, he smiled and let her in.
Mu Yang personally poured hot water for her, and when Yang Nian sat down, he pushed the brewed tea to her opposite the coffee table and said, "It's hard for you to travel back and forth every month.
"It's okay, I'm used to it.
"Shenzhen City has strong economic strength and strong development momentum. According to your report on the phone, another competitor has appeared?'
"Yes, in addition to Heytea, there is another one called Lecha, which only has two or three stores. But by copying our Naixue operating model, according to surveys, the daily revenue has reached about 30,000 yuan." Yang Nian said solemnly.
"It's normal for competitors to appear. Don't worry. Just follow our development plan. Now that we have ample funds, we can first buy the stores we are optimistic about. It doesn't matter if the opening is delayed for a month or two.'
"Well, this is a good idea. The rent is nothing compared to our overall layout. We can't let other competitors block our way to listing." Yang Nian understood the importance.
Next, she took out Nayuki's work report form from her document bag. She printed two copies and handed one to her boss. Nayuki planned to open 15 stores this month, so she would have 20 stores in Shenzhen.
stores, but this is far from enough. The target is 35 stores.
At the same time, it expanded rapidly to Guangdong City.
Judging from the current financial accounts, Naixue has not shown a trend of revenue decline.
According to the plan, Naixue will conduct Series C financing around February next year, that is, after the year, and apply for an IPO.
After Mu Yang listened to Yang Nian's report, he was looking forward to Naixue's valuation next year.
Yang Nian reported for half an hour and chatted with his boss about some things. It took a total of an hour before leaving Xinghai Machinery Company.
After Yang Nian finished his report, Mu Yang asked Yang Hai to come over and report.
Yang Hai is in charge of the sales department of Xinghai Company. After he came in, he greeted his boss and reported directly:
"Boss, the old business has not fluctuated much. Last month, the revenue was 45.06 million yuan, and the payment collection was 44.08 million yuan. The payment before October has been collected. There is still 650,000 yuan to be collected in October, and there is still 15.06 million yuan in November.
yuan to be paid
"In November, the company signed a total of 1,301 handheld laser welding equipment, 860 of which have been shipped; a total of 752 supporting workbenches, of which 450 have been shipped. The sales ratio of supporting workbenches has declined, mainly because many companies have purchased
After one came back, I copied it and used it myself. The total order amount was 269.893 million yuan, and 256.398 million yuan has been received.
After listening to his report, Mu Yang summarized: "It seems that we still have to rely on new business to make money. Let's leave the old business as it is. Don't mess around. Business development has reached a bottleneck. There is no need to invest more energy. If we can maintain
The current situation is enough. I don’t want to expand the equipment or business anymore. It would be good if I can do it for another two or three years.
But if you can still make money, keep doing it.
Mu Yang does not dare to underestimate the turnover of 40 to 50 million yuan a month, and the net profit after tax is more than 20 million yuan, which cannot be underestimated. Many domestic machinery companies with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan do not have a profit of more than 20 million yuan a year.
Ten million, this is the benefit of having advanced technology. Yang Hai quickly finished the report, and after going out, he went to Mr. Zhou's office and asked Zhou Chen to report to the boss's office.
"Mr. Yang, how's it going?
"It's nothing, just the same." Yang Hai smiled.
"Oh, the same as usual, that's fine too."
Zhou Chen stopped talking anymore. The boss was waiting for him. He didn't know what Yang Hai meant by his old self. Judging from his expression, the boss was quite satisfied with his work.
Yang Hai often travels on business, but he stays in the company every day. He meets his boss every once in a while. The boss often leaves the workshop and goes to the laboratory. In fact, there is nothing to report. The boss may talk about other things.
He was uneasy because he couldn't guess what was going on.
Although the boss usually has no airs and seldom gets angry, when he makes a report, the boss often remains silent and his expression cannot read any information. Sometimes, he just keeps staring at the person, as if he wants to stare him out of a hole.
Come on, make your back shudder!
After Zhou Chen entered the general manager's office, he sat lightly on the sofa and waited for his boss to speak first.
After Mu Yang watched him sit down, he said slowly: "Mr. Yang just finished reporting his work. Last month, he signed an order for 1,301 handheld laser welders. Our production capacity cannot keep up. You don't have to worry too much. Quality and reputation are the key."
The most important thing is that we are not just doing business for a month or two.
We sell handheld laser welding equipment, and we also sell robotic laser welding equipment. We may also have other products for old customers or other new businesses. Once the things are ready, orders will naturally come to your doorstep.’
Mu Yang continued: "We should pay more attention to production safety in the workshop. Many workers do not wear protective glasses when grinding with a grinder. Sometimes grinding splashes fly into their eyes. It may be a trivial matter. The most fearful thing is that the grinding wheel disc bursts.
Eye
Although it is said that grinding wheel disc explosion rarely occurs, you still need to pay attention.
I took a sip of tea, looked through my workbook, and remembered one thing: "Oh, by the way, the weather is starting to get colder. Low temperatures rarely occur in H City. It's okay if you don't add antifreeze to the equipment water tank;
The technology research and development department shouldn't be pushed too hard. You can do some activities in your spare time. Those people don't like sports very much.
Don't use a results-oriented approach to evaluate the work achievements of technicians. Failure is also an experience. You can handle other things by yourself. I mainly mention production safety."
Yang Chen wrote down the main points of what the boss said. He didn't think what the boss said was a trivial matter. If he thought deeply, he would find a deeper meaning.
Some high-tech R&D talents are often arrogant and want to leave their jobs if they are not happy with their work. They are not afraid of not being able to find a job. When Yang Chen communicated with the people in the technology department, he did not ask for this or that in a commanding tone, but reminded him more often.
Sometimes the boss will be used as a shield to soften the tone, for example, "Worker Wang, the progress is a bit slow. The boss is keeping a close eye on me, so you have to hurry up."
If you tell the workers, you have to be tough, otherwise they won't take it seriously.
Mu Yang and Yang Chen chatted for less than ten minutes before it was the turn of Zhang Xiaofeng, the vice president in charge of the personnel department, general manager office and quality department, to report on the work.
After Mu Yang asked Zhang Xiaofeng to sit down, he went straight to the topic: "Mr. Zhang, we commissioned the business to spray paint. Some of the products were scratched before they were delivered to customers. Many of them were scratched during packaging and transportation, and there were a lot of them.
You should communicate with the assembly department about how to solve this problem. There is also a weld spatter that has not been cleaned up properly. It is obvious after spray painting. It is mainly a dead corner of the weld.
The quality problem is not serious, but it is mainly about the appearance quality. Customers are very dissatisfied when they see damage.’
Zhang Xiaofeng is not from an engineering background. Although he is in charge of the quality department, he is not proficient in quality management. He mainly relies on the head of the quality department for management. His role is administrative means and supervision of the quality department.
It is impossible for Muyang to let Yang Chen, who is in charge of production, be in charge of the quality department at the same time. The production department and the quality department cannot be under the same leadership. The quality department must work according to principles.
Of course, there are some minor quality issues that do not affect the safety of use. If it is difficult to repair, we can only give in and deal with it.
Zhang Xiaofeng was a little worried, and he was most afraid of raising quality issues, but the boss gave him this department and he couldn't ignore it, so he had to learn more about this area. He has high emotional intelligence and knows the boss's intention of letting him be in charge of the quality department.
He is good at observing words and emotions, and he quickly saw that the boss was not criticizing him: "Okay, boss, I will discuss it with the quality department director Huang Jiabao.'
"Lao Huang has a relatively straightforward temperament, but he is not tactful enough in dealing with interpersonal relationships. He is straightforward. To put it simply, he is not authentic enough.
But the quality department needs such tough people to manage it. What I am a little worried about is that this guy sometimes speaks too aggressively and often conflicts with others, which easily accumulates conflicts. You can help to ease the atmosphere." Mu Yang commented,
After saying that, even I laughed.
Zhang Xiaofeng nodded, and he agreed: "Lao Huang is very upright and is indeed not popular among his colleagues.
"Well, the production capacity is insufficient now, and the production department is working overtime to rush the work. Quality problems may occur more frequently. This is something we need to pay attention to. That's all about quality.
Then Mu Yang started to tell other things: "New Year's Day is coming in one month, and I want to hold an annual meeting this year. This is our first year, and it is very meaningful.
There's no need to go to a lot of trouble, just do it in the hotel, and the whole staff will have dinner as a night meal. Anyway, the Spring Festival holiday is only a month away. We are not short of money, so don't make the quality too low, so as not to be eliminated by the employees later.
"Okay, I'll check with each hotel and see if it can be easily arranged for more than 300 people. With the speed of our company's development, it might not be convenient to find a place to hold the annual meeting next year.'
Mr. Zhang felt a little emotional in his heart. Xinghai Company is developing too fast. He is in charge of the human resources department and recruits many new employees basically every month. The total number of employees is rising in a straight line. Now the company is acquiring land and investing heavily, and it still has more than 10,000 employees.
to build new factories.
The current 30-acre factory building has just been put into use, and the office building and dormitory are still being renovated, and they are almost ready. "But it needs to be placed -
It will take some time to ventilate before you can move in.
According to the boss's requirements, the most environmentally friendly decoration materials are used as much as possible, reducing the use of harmful materials such as formaldehyde. It is estimated that it will not be long before employees can move into the new office building and dormitories.
The construction workload of the company canteen is not large and it has been put into use.
"Well, I can rest assured that you can do your job." Mu Yang smiled faintly, with a slight sense of accomplishment, and told another thing, "I have three days off on New Year's Day. Let's use one day to do some activities. I will run long-distance in the morning, and then do some ball games and fun sports meetings.
For example, three-person and four-legged races, sports games, etc. can not only exercise the body but also enhance the relationship between employees."
Although this takes up employees' rest time, I think physical exercise is very important. As long as they are family members of employees, they can participate. Everyone who participates will get a prize. Giving employees some benefits can also increase employees' sense of belonging to the company.
He estimated that tens of thousands would be enough to carry out activities, and he would only give away daily necessities, and those who ranked well would be given quilts and other items.
Without prizes, not only will it not motivate employees, but they will also bury the company behind their backs. After all, it takes up tens of thousands of yuan for their rest time. Mu Yang earns hundreds of thousands yuan for reading for an hour. Xinghai Machinery Company’s average in November
One day's profit reached 10 million yuan.
"Boss, what about New Year's Day? Does the company still plan to give out holiday benefits?" At his old employer, Mr. Zhang was most afraid of asking the boss for money, especially when the holiday was about to come. Asking the boss would give him a headache.
Mr. Mu is a very generous boss among the bosses he has ever encountered! But when it comes to welfare benefits, it’s not enough not to pay them, not to pay them too little, and certainly not to pay them too much. Mr. Zhang has the obligation to remind the boss, at least not like his old employer.
Awkward.
"Forget about giving out money, employees are reluctant to spend it. The shopping cards issued during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day may not be used up yet. You can't experience happiness without spending money.
This time, let’s issue clothing shopping cards worth 500 yuan, and negotiate with several mid-range brand stores to purchase discounts. Employees can choose their own clothes, buy them for themselves or their children. The Chinese New Year is almost here, so I will buy some new clothes for myself.
One hundred dollars may not be much, but it’s still okay to buy a coat.” Mu Yang said that he usually sees how workers are dressed, and many are reluctant to spend money to buy new clothes.
Of course it would be cheaper for the company to purchase its own clothes, but Mu Yang thought deeper that there was no point in doing so. If every entrepreneur did this, the physical stores outside would close down, and employees would not be able to experience the joy of shopping.
The greater the ability, the greater the influence, and the greater the responsibility. This is the truth.
Maybe in a few years, his company will have tens of thousands of employees, and his every move will affect the local economic development.
For example, if the company provides all-inclusive breakfast, lunch and dinner, then the nearby restaurants cannot handle the business of the company's employees. This approach is a bit weird. It seems to be good for the employees, but the employees don't want to eat in the cafeteria every day.
"This is a good idea, the boss is really thoughtful.'
Next, Mu Yang had nothing to explain. After Mr. Zhang left his office, it was almost time to get off work in the morning. The company's new canteen has been opened. Now the company provides lunch and breakfast, and employees can handle dinner by themselves.
Mu Yang occasionally eats in the cafeteria. This is not to show that he shares the joys and sorrows with the employees, but because he is too lazy to eat outside, and the food in the cafeteria is not bad. After all, it is a big pot of rice. It is impossible to think it is very delicious.
He arrived late, so there was no need to queue. The employees could eat as much as they wanted without wasting it.
Mu Yang took the plate, made himself a piece of steamed sea bass, a small spoonful of fried green beans, mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, and a bowl of pork rib soup, and found an empty table to sit down.
Not long after Mu Yang sat down, Mr. Zhang also bought a meal and sat across from him. The two of them chatted while eating. Other employees would not sit at the same table with the boss and senior management.
"The new canteen is good. Finally, we don't have to stand up to eat." Mr. Zhang laughed. This new canteen has just been opened for a few days.
The canteen can accommodate 300 people dining at the same time, and the dining time of each department is staggered by a few minutes. It can actually satisfy the company's 500 or 600 employees without queuing up and occupying tables.
When workers get off work, they walk very fast, rush to the canteen, and eat the most.
"It's okay in winter, but it might be a bit hot in summer. Let's put some vertical air conditioners in the corner, otherwise everyone will sweat profusely after eating and suffer." Mu Yang glanced around the canteen and didn't see any air conditioners, but the walls.
An electric fan is already installed.
"Yes, but if the cafeteria door is open, the air conditioner will escape and the cooling effect will be much worse."
"It's better than nothing. When it's time to eat, just turn on the air conditioner half an hour in advance."
Mu Yang and Mr. Zhang ate but did not drink. The company also does not allow employees to drink during lunch because they are afraid that employees may accidentally operate the equipment while at work.
Sitting not far away, a new employee who had just arrived for a few days saw the boss and started chatting with the colleagues next to him about the boss: "I didn't expect that the boss would also eat in the cafeteria with us."
The old employee glanced at the boss and said calmly: "What's the fuss about the boss eating with the employees? You haven't seen the boss welding workpieces with a welding gun. He can weld better than me. Besides, the food in the canteen is not bad. Why?"
We can eat it, but the boss can't.
The new employee was a little puzzled: "I thought, since we are so rich, we can afford to have a good meal out."
"It's not like a few decades ago, when it was difficult to eat a meal of meat. Nowadays, rich people and poor people eat no different. Some rich people sometimes cook their own meals, but if they are not good at cooking, it is still difficult.
Food, haha.
Of course, those who are particularly wealthy may hire professional chefs.’
The old employee laughed so loudly that he almost spit his face and wiped his mouth, "Our boss is very authentic. Even though he is young, he really knows everything, including welding, lathes, and robot operations. The boss personally participates in the research and development of the company's products. I
It’s true to say that the boss is an inventor, I admire such people.
The new employee opened his mouth slightly and was startled for a moment. After the rice grains fell from his mouth, he noticed that he had lost his composure. He quickly started eating, but he was shocked inside. He had just been in the company for a few days and had met the boss a lot, but he didn't.
Chapter completed!
