"There is no need to elaborate on the situation. Everyone knows that the potential of the old factory has been tapped, and the current production cannot keep up with the orders."
Li Yan's opening remarks went directly to the core. His eyes swept over the attending financial director Aunt Zhang, the production director Uncle San, the purchasing director, the human resources director, and the sales director Sister Li who was connected by phone.
"We must open up a new battlefield immediately. Aunt Zhang, you take the lead in setting up a production expansion team. The first priority is to find suitable ready-made factory buildings in Xiamen or surrounding industrial zones!
Standards: more than 3,000 square meters, with floor height, load-bearing, and electricity in compliance with standards, convenient transportation, and can be put into use quickly.
Rent can be negotiated, but speed is the first priority!"
Aunt Zhang adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes were sharp, and she quickly wrote down in her notebook: "Understood, Mr. Li. I have already found alternative intermediaries, and at the same time, I am inquiring about the information through the relationship network of the town government and the development bureau." , production line layout, equipment purchase list, you are fully responsible. If you need anything, make a detailed list and budget, and contact Aunt Zhang directly. Principle: Standardized, mature production lines must be installed, debugged and put into production as quickly as possible! "
"Don't worry! I'll take care of it!" Uncle San patted his chest, his eyes full of enthusiasm to overcome difficulties.
“The Purchasing Department immediately sorted out the list of suppliers of all core components and materials in short supply and prioritized them. After Aunt Zhang’s rental budget was initially determined, I personally led a team to visit key suppliers. We need to pay in advance to lock in production capacity for the next three months!”
· The purchasing manager nodded heavily: "The preliminary sorting has been completed and can be acted upon at any time!"
· "The Human Resources Department, the recruitment plan for the new factory has been launched simultaneously. Based on the scale of the new production line, the number of workers required will be calculated, and recruitment and training will be carried out Follow up immediately and make sure that the factory equipment and personnel are in place immediately! "
"Received, Mr. Li! The recruitment notice will be posted today!"
The meeting ended, and the core engine of the entire company turned to the "production expansion" track.
Aunt Zhang has demonstrated amazing mobility and localized business capabilities.
She called all the property management and intermediary companies in Chang'an Town and even the major industrial zones in surrounding Houjie and Humen.
At the same time, she is well aware of the importance of operating a business in mainland China and maintaining good relations with various local government departments.
She personally carries a small and exquisite gift bag, which sometimes contains a few cartons of high-end cigarettes, and sometimes a few low-key shopping cards.
What was more, the company's exquisite brochures and sincere promises of future taxation and employment, she visited the Xiabian Community Neighborhood Committee, Chang'an Town Economic Development Bureau, Environmental Protection Office, Fire Squadron...
She did not go to cram in temporary matters, but to "worship the dock" to establish connections, express respect, and unblock information.
“Director Chen, our Xingchen Technology is developing rapidly. Thanks to our community, there is really not enough space now. If we want to find a precious land here to expand production, we need your care and support..."
"Wang Suo, don't worry. Our new factory will be built in strict accordance with the highest fire protection standards. I will ask you to guide us when the time comes..."
"Li Ke, Jiuyang, you are most familiar with the situation in the nearby industrial zone. Can you give us some advice on which park has a ready-made factory building that meets our requirements? We are really anxious to get started..."
This kind of business communication with Chinese characteristics has a remarkable effect.
Soon, through information revealed privately by a section chief of the town Economic Development Bureau, Aunt Zhang learned that a Hong Kong-funded electronics company had just relocated in a well-managed industrial park in Xin'an Community, leaving behind a single-story high-standard factory building with an area of about 4,200 square meters.
·The hardware conditions such as floor height, load-bearing, power load, and unloading platform are all very good. The park management also hopes to rent it to a powerful company as soon as possible.
The news is the fighter plane.
Aunt Zhang immediately rushed over with her team.
Repeated viewings, detailed checks, multiple rounds of arduous rent negotiations...
In the end, the rent was set at 27.5 yuan per square meter per month. Calculated based on 4,200 square meters, the monthly rent is as high as 115,500 yuan, and the annual rent is close to 1.4 million.
This is a huge fixed expenditure, but in the face of S2’s strong monthly gross profit of nearly 100 million yuan, this investment seems necessary and urgent.
After listening to Aunt Zhang's detailed report and risk analysis, Li Yan did not hesitate at all: "Sign! Get it as soon as possible! Try to complete the transformation and put into production within a month!"
Three uncles almost lived in the new factory.
He took several old masters and engineering drawings with him and repeatedly measured, planned, and demonstrated on site.
· It is necessary to add four new fully automatic assembly lines, corresponding new patch machines, wave soldering furnaces, assembly workbenches, aging test rooms, and a full set of quality inspection equipment...
· The list has been drawn up, and the preliminary budget calculation is close to 4.5 million.
While focusing on equipment procurement, he urged the decoration team to enter the site to carry out necessary partitions, water and electricity modifications, and ventilation system installation. The site was non-stop day and night, dusty, but orderly.
At the same time, the recruitment work of the Human Resources Department is in full swing.
· Recruitment posters are plastered all over the bulletin boards around the industrial area. The salary package is clearly higher than the market average, attracting a large number of job seekers.
Interviewing, screening, onboarding...
A set of processes is running efficiently, and sufficient resources are reserved for the new production line.
Throughout mid-to-late April, Xingchen Technology was like a bulldozer running at full speed, rumbling forward on the road of "production expansion."
Slightly surprising is that Li Yan, the company’s helmsman, seems a little more “relaxed” during this busiest stage.
He no longer focuses on the front line of production and expansion in every detail, but fully delegates specific execution rights to management such as Aunt Zhang and Uncle San.
His work focus has quietly shifted.
The first is to grasp the strategic direction, listen to reports at key nodes, and make final decisions;
The second is to begin to free up precious energy for higher-level business entertainment and strategic layout.
He and his assistant Su Qing frequently visited high-end restaurants and private clubs in Dongguan and Shenzhen.
The targets of the banquet have become the sales directors and regional general managers of major component suppliers.
· During the dinner, it was no longer the embarrassment of a start-up company seeking help, but the calmness expected of a potential stock customer with hot-selling orders and abundant cash flow.
He raised a glass and talked and laughed, calmly analyzed industry trends, and skillfully described Xingchen's future product blueprint. Then when the atmosphere was the most harmonious, he naturally expressed the hope that the other party would give priority to ensuring supply, especially for several types of core materials that were in tight demand in the market.
"Mr. Liu, you can see our strength and demand.
S2 is just an appetizer, we have bigger plans in the future.
As long as the supply is stable, The price can be negotiated, and we can even consider signing a long-term strategic agreement and paying a considerable advance payment. ”
Li’s words were calm, but the weight of his words was something that every supplier representative at the table could not ignore.
