Chapter 194: Xiaoxiao Pot Factory

In fact, Zhu Daidong is not necessarily a company in the direction of machinery manufacturing. But Wu Donghong followed the leader too closely and he had no choice. However, Zhu Daidong had decided that Wu Donghong could be used, but it could not be used in attracting investment.

On the surface, every leader said that he was good at employing people based on merit, but everyone had different definitions of the standards of virtuousness. Moreover, the leader's vision could not be very wide, and there could not be too many people entering his sight. Zhu Daidong was better. He had a pair of divine ears to help him. There was almost nothing in the people and things in the agency that could escape his ears. This made him easily handle personnel and interpersonal relationships and rarely made mistakes.

But even so, everyone has their own preferences. Zhu Daidong is a human rather than a god. As long as he has strong work ability and strong personal style, he dares to use and promote such a person. The most important reason why Wu Donghong is valued by him is not that he follows him closely, but that he has no economic problems as the office director. In recent years, the corruption of leading cadres of our party has increased day by day. Zhu Daidong does not want the people he values ​​to take this path.

During this period, Zhu Daidong spent a lot of time to go to the machinery company. After the development zone and the machinery factory joined forces, Zhu Daidong carried out drastic reforms to the machinery factory, streamlining institutions, breaking the big pot meal, and introducing competition and reward systems, which made the machinery factory lose its vitality at once.

The technical content of household rice mixers is not very high. The most important thing is a small motor and casting. The machine factory used to have a workshop for producing motors, but it has now been expanded into a motor factory under the machinery company. The casting workshop has also been expanded into a casting factory. The production workshop of the machinery company is like an assembly workshop, with greatly reduced functions, but the efficiency has been greatly improved.

In the enterprise, Zhu Daidong likes to deal with technicians the most. The former chief engineer of the county machinery factory was Ge Yanfu. After the newly established machinery company, Ge Yanfu's work did not change. Zhu Daidong talked with Ge Yanfu several times and found that this Ge Gong was simply a versatile and was very proficient in any process in the machinery factory. He was very familiar with all the operations. He originally graduated from the electrical major and worked in the machinery factory after he started working, starting from an ordinary technician to a chief engineer.

The equipment such as rice mixers and mills produced by the machinery company are now recommended by Ge Yanfu to Zhu Daidong. Facts have proved that Ge Gong is not only first-class in technology, but also has a good understanding of market trends. Now the first batch of rice mixers of the machinery company have been put into the market and have received good responses among the majority of users.

The propaganda of the machinery company did not adopt the routines that Zhu Daidong used in the past. Outdoor wall advertising and TV advertising were not very useful to these mechanical equipment. The main users of the machinery equipment were farmers, and they needed an intuitive feeling. Therefore, every time they went to the market in the township below, the supply and marketing department of the machinery company would bring the combined rice mills and mills produced by the machinery company to go down, and experiment on site to allow farmers to conduct on-site inspections.

After a few times, the products of the machinery company slowly opened up sales, and then dealers in various townships took the initiative to come to the door. The sales of the machinery company is mainly based on the supply and marketing department, and the supply and marketing department of the machinery company also adopts a salary plus commission system, which greatly increases their enthusiasm.

Now the people from the supply and marketing department have begun to sell Yuhua Machinery Company's products to other counties. According to this development trend, the achievement of profits of the machinery company will not be a problem next month. Now the people of the machinery company are full of confidence in the future of the company. Especially Ge Yanfu, who just started working in the county machinery factory, has a deep affection for the machinery factory. During the period when the machinery factory was shut down, he was so anxious that he couldn't even sleep at night.

After Zhu Daidong became the assistant to the county magistrate last year, Ge Yanfu looked for Zhu Daidong several times, hoping that he would help the machinery factory resume production as soon as possible. It was during this period that Ge Yanfu strongly recommended small household machinery and equipment such as rice combination machines to Zhu Daidong. Zhu Daidong once learned that there was a machinery company in the south that offered a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan to invite Ge Yanfu to go south, but Ge Yanfu was not tempted at all. He knew that if he left, it would be really unknown whether the machinery factory could make a comeback.

Zhu Daidong was very moved by Ge Yanfu's spirit. He had a high salary of 5,000 yuan per month. Such a high salary would never be found in Yuhua County. Now Ge Yanfu is the chief engineer of the machinery company and his work is only over 1,000 yuan. Zhu Daidong was dissatisfied and wanted to give him an additional allowance, but Ge Yanfu did not accept it. He said that his greatest wish was to see the machinery factory regain his strength. As for his own treatment, it would be enough. What's the use of asking for so much money by one person?

Every time Zhu Daidong comes to the machinery company, he always talks to Ge Yanfu. Sometimes Ge Yanfu is so busy that he doesn't even want to receive Zhu Daidong. Zhu Daidong stands aside with a smile. If someone like Ge Yanfu in the machinery company is never going bankrupt!

Now that the products of the machinery company have been put on the market and the products are becoming more mature, Ge Yanfu has more time to control himself. Every time Zhu Daidong comes to the machinery company, he can at least chat with Zhu Daidong for a while.

"County Magistrate Zhu, at this time last year, the machinery factory was so poor that he couldn't even lose his money, but this year, you see, it's prosperous. When Ge Yanfu was in a hurry, he always liked to walk around the various workshops and branches of the machinery factory. In the development zone, the machinery company's branches were very close, which was also one of his greatest fun now. Seeing the machinery company's prosperity, he never got tired of watching it.

"Yes, you have made the most contribution to this. If it weren't for you, even if the machinery factory has money, he wouldn't know how to spend it." Zhu Daidong said with a smile.

"As an old man, what can I do to make a contribution? County Mayor Zhu and the machinery company will develop in this way. Profits this year will not be a problem. Do you have any new plans in the county next?" Ge Yanfu asked.

"Of course I plan to do it, but you have to take out the product." Zhu Daidong said with a smile.

"I really have one product. Last year, the machinery factory was so poor that I couldn't get rid of the pot. I was wondering if I could make a name for this pot." Ge Yanfu said that these were some products he conceived in his spare time last year. He didn't experiment at the beginning, but only demonstrated it in theory. After the establishment of the machinery company, he tried to make a few samples in the factory, and the effect was pretty good. Then he mentioned this matter to Zhu Daidong.

"Guan?" Zhu Daidong asked inexplicably.

"Yes, it's pots, iron pots, and iron pots that every household needs." Ge Yanfu nodded, slowly led the way in front, and brought Zhu Daidong to a corner of his experimental workshop, casting factory.

"Is this thing good, but is there a market?" Zhu Daidong's impression was that an iron pot at home had to be used for several years, and the iron pot was cheap. How big is the market to afford a pot factory that specializes in the production of iron pots?

"I didn't go to investigate this. County Magistrate Zhu will do it." Ge Yanfu said with a smile.

"How much does it take to invest?" Zhu Daidong still has more than one million yuan in his hands. The six million borrowed from Shumuling and Shizishan, Luo Liuzhi used more than one million yuan to build three-way and one-level investment, and three million yuan was invested in the machinery company, and there were still about one and two million yuan.

"The investment in the factory is not very large," said Ge Yanfu.

"Have you told Wang Yi about this?" Zhu Daidong asked. Wang Yi was the former director of the county machinery factory and the current general manager of the machinery company.

"I said, Director Wang is not very interested." Ge Yanfu said that Wang Yi would be satisfied if he could build the current machinery company well. If he invested in a pot factory, can he make a profit at that time? If not, who will be responsible for the machinery company collapsed?

Zhu Daidong asked people from the development zone to conduct market research, how long does it take for a family to change the pot, the cost, profit, and the price of the product in the market today. Zhu Daidong is not very interested in the profit of the iron pot, and a single iron pot can only make a fortune, at most two or three yuan. How much iron pot does it take to achieve profits?

But in the end, Zhu Daidong was still tempted because he had investigated several daily miscellaneous wholesale departments in the county. The sales of iron pots were actually quite large. Moreover, the pot factory did not invest much. Even if the products were really accumulated, selling iron could recover some of the costs, right? Zhu Daidong discussed with Wang Yi whether this new pot factory would be hung below the casting factory and invested by the development zone and the machinery factory. However, Wang Yi was worried about the risks and disagreed, so Zhu Daidong did not force it.

Since Wang Yi was not very interested, Zhu Daidong invited Ge Yanfu as an off-staff engineer. There was no problem with Wang Yi. Just kidding, County Mayor Zhu wanted to transfer someone to the machinery company. If Mr. Wang didn't want to sweep the road, it would be better to cooperate in the end.

Zhu Daidong has been looking for an investment project for this one million. Now Ge Yanfu provides him with technical support, but the risk is not great, so he didn't think much about it. The dozens of sets of molds needed by the pot factory are provided by Ge Yanfu, and the iron furnace needed is provided by the machinery company, which can do a business with the machinery company.

The investment of the iron pot factory is 250,000 yuan, but the raw material: pig iron, the funds occupied by more than 700,000 yuan were used. Once the pot factory was established, the funds in the development zone were only about 200,000 yuan left.

Zhu Daidong didn’t know how much profit a small pot factory would bring, and Wang Yi didn’t know, so Ge ​​Yanfu was even more unclear...
