Chapter 181 The Venue Has Been Approved
The next day, when Luo Cheng arrived at the factory, he still went to the team office first and handed over a drawing to Team Leader Jiang and others. There are already some produced small parts in the office. Since they are being assembled while producing, they might as well have several of them at the same time. Anyway, Team Leader Jiang feels that apart from studying drawings every day, he is relatively free at other times.
When Luo Cheng's Logistics Department reported to Director Zhang the results of yesterday's recruitment, Director Zhang first told him some good news. The building land opposite and to the west has been approved. It will be used directly by the automobile factory, but currently the construction funds cannot be applied for much, because Ngee Ann is now focusing all its resources on the steel rolling mill.
When the automobile factory declared plans to change production, it said that the gasoline engine was stuck and production volume could not be increased. The local units also responded positively to the situation, hoping to help the automobile factory solve the engine purchase volume, but no results were achieved. They only said that after the engine production increases in the future, they will consider increasing the supply of Ngee Ann Automobile Factory.
If it weren't for the fact that there are still ten cars hanging around, because the profit from the cars is high enough. Even if there are ten vehicles a month, there will be a production of 120 vehicles a year. There are also hundreds of thousands of profits, so much that even the venue may have to be considered whether to approve or not.
However, although funds cannot help the automobile factory, the local construction department will still cooperate with the construction of the automobile factory. In this era, factories were generally made of bricks and tiles, and were built with steel, unless it was a particularly large factory and a powerful unit. For example, the steel rolling mill is currently building factory buildings with steel in addition to offices and other buildings.
Luocheng's side is a brick house with only one floor and two stories in height. The area is not too big, but not too small either. The normal size is several hundred square meters, and the cost is actually not expensive, only two to three thousand yuan.
That's right, you can build a factory of several hundred square meters for just two to three thousand yuan, because such a factory is simple to build. The main body is only one floor, the foundation will not be dug very deep, and there will be no supporting structure in the middle. Production plants and workshops are different from office buildings and residential buildings. It's just four walls. In this era, it only costs about 300 to build a brick house in the countryside. The square meter may not be large, just dozens of square meters. But even a small self-built house has four walls.
But there is one thing. The house can be built long, but it cannot be too wide, otherwise the wooden beams will not be long enough to support the roof. If you need a larger space, you won't save money on square meters because of the large area. Instead, you will need to erect steel structural beams and even columns.
Anyway, the profit from one car can be used to build a factory, but building a building is more expensive. There are many walls, and a lot of materials such as steel bars are used. But for high-profit companies, this is actually the best place to consume profits. Anyway, the money can’t be kept in the factory, so why not use it for construction? There are many buildings, and it looks grand when others come to visit.
Unfortunately, without local economic support, automobile factories currently have to purchase equipment and materials. Although it is not delivered immediately, it generally cannot be delayed. If you want to go hand in hand, even if the profit of the cube car is high and the production is limited, it will not be possible.
We cannot afford to build large factories. At present, we can only save a little bit and build a series of small factories. Then there are things like walls and security rooms, which are all money. Moreover, no one can enter the factory area casually. Basically, as long as there is a factory area, a fence must be built. If you mess around casually, 20,000 to 30,000 yuan will be gone.
In other words, if expansion is needed, the profit of the cube car will be gone. The repair shop only earns some salary and so on, and there is no profit. The money spent to buy the machine this time was almost all the profit from the first batch of cube cars produced last time.
But workshop construction is imminent, with machine workshops, assembly workshops, independent warehouses, and even the production of shock absorbers, engine parts, etc. behind. Who doesn’t want a factory building?
Manual forklifts are a profit point for automobile manufacturers, but they are currently stuck in the supply of spare parts. You can ask a machinery factory to produce parts for you, but the output there will not be large. Unless a long-term agreement is reached, the factory there may recruit workers to help you with production and processing for a long time, and the output will increase.
But such an increase in production does not mean that it has become a simple assembly plant again. If you can control the output in your own hands, you will definitely not seek such cooperation with other factories.
Anyway, workers' wages are cheap, and only a few can earn fifty or sixty yuan a month. Most of the formal workers are only more than thirty, and apprentices and temporary workers bring down the average wage. There are only about a hundred employees in the factory now. With a salary of several thousand yuan, Luo Cheng didn't panic at all.
Now that this land has been approved, construction must begin immediately. This matter belongs to the logistics department again. Luo Cheng asked Director Zhang to go to the Personnel Bureau to apply for recruiting a few logistics staff. Although the current scale of the logistics department can be supported by a few people, the things produced by the automobile factory are too messy. Purchasing alone is busy enough.
Director Zhang nodded. When it was just a repair shop, the logistics department basically had nothing to do except occasionally replenish the spare parts consumed by the factory for repairs. Now, the Zhagang factory may have to travel frequently, the machinery factory is also indispensable, and even the lumber factory has to make purchases. There are also screw accessories and so on, they are all from different factories.
In addition, the factory is currently raising pigs, chickens and ducks, and they have to make one or two trips a month to collect feed.
After discussing the construction arrangements for the new factory, Luo Cheng began to report to Director Zhang on the recruitment situation yesterday. Not only were the people given the information willing to come, but there were also people who didn’t provide the information. And by asking those people to help contact welders they know, I might not have to run errands to recruit people later.
Factory Director Zhang was confused. He purchased a set of equipment in total and gave the information to Luo Cheng. He told him all about it and asked whoever felt more persuasive would come to his door. It is actually enough to successfully dig one. The machinery factory has said that a master can operate it with a few apprentices. There is no rush at all, because even if the machine comes, we still need to purchase ingredients.
Even if you think it's slow, it's enough to dig three masters, and each master will be assigned a henchman. The processing speed of accessories will not be slow. If you dig them all indiscriminately, what are a dozen masters doing?
And even if there are more than a dozen masters, everyone basically brings two or three children or relatives to the factory. This means that it won’t take long for fifty people to join the factory, and we will need to recruit welding workers later.
"What does this have to do with it? As long as we produce the three-wheeled truck, we will need to add at least a few sets of equipment next month. By then, all the operators will definitely be able to use it, and it may not even be enough. I know what those masters said. You can also introduce them to me. Our factory wants them all."
Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Zhang. He has finished designing the structural diagram of the tricycle. Except for an extra front head, the structural principle is simpler than that of a square tricycle. It is impossible not to build it."
Hearing what Luo Cheng said, Director Zhang had nothing to say. In fact, he had no worries or worries about whether he could succeed in building a cube car before, because the money did not come from here. But now we can only rely on the success of the three-wheeled truck that Luo Cheng said.
Luo Cheng actually wanted to build a motorized forklift, but without financial support, he could only start simple.
While we are still discussing how to develop the factory, many of the masters we contacted yesterday have already stayed home for half a day. Fearing that something might happen to this matter, I had already brought my family to the factory to report it.
This was all without a letter of recommendation, so people from the human resources department came directly to Luo Cheng to ask how to deal with it. When Director Zhang saw such a thing, he immediately ran away. This was not a matter of the logistics department. He had to go to the local construction department. He took the accountant and logistics staff with him and drove away.
Although he is a director, when Zhang Lin goes out now, he looks more impressive than the previous factory director.
Luo Cheng could only greet the people who came to report enthusiastically. In ordinary families, the children are both boys and girls. I feel that with this move, there will actually be more female employees in the factory, and the yin and yang will be more coordinated. But even though she is a girl, she cannot be pity for her.
The carpenters in the factory all brought their sons to work. Although his son's position in the factory was not a formal worker, his skills were actually at the level of a formal worker in other factories. They can all stand alone.
Now in the factory, people can be arranged to help with things like stools, tables, wooden pallets, etc. The women will send two more to the kitchen. A workshop is being built over there in the factory yard to clean up soil and other things. People can be temporarily arranged anywhere.
If you promise those masters that their sons or others will be your apprentices in the future, you have to wait until they come to work. And there is only one set of machines. The other machines will be available next month. First, we can do whatever work is available in the factory.
Today we started assembling the cube car again, and a few welders have been transferred from outside. The absence of the tires does not delay the early assembly. Therefore, workers in the assembly workshop are no longer idle, and steel pallets are also being produced at the same time. Just ask the human resources department to take these people to the workshop for selection.
However, people from the Human Resources Department told Luo Cheng that in fact, if these newly recruited temporary workers are old enough, they may be registered at the subdistrict office, and they can also meet the planned temporary worker standards. All unplanned, purchasing this work clothes is a problem.
Paralysis, the human resources department is like this without a leader, and such things are still reported poorly. If you can recruit workers within the plan, you can directly register and go to the street office to check.
The auto repair shop is not afraid of hiring too many workers, but there is no point in poaching people. This has caused headaches for other factories, such as the machine parts factory. This morning, several operators applied for transfer. However, this is not a big problem, but the main reason is that there is news in the factory that the automobile factory is recruiting workers, and those with skills can bring two into the factory together.
There is no problem if a factory is short of a few skilled workers. There are apprentices who can temporarily fill in. But if there are too few, it will affect production. Because one master cannot take care of too many machines. Although it can be operated by an apprentice of several years. But if there is a problem, the machine can easily cost thousands or tens of thousands. Not to mention the time wasted by just damaging something, just replace an accessory or something, and the cost will be hundreds. They only produce small accessories, and their profits are based on volume, and there is nothing high-profit.
There are no more shocks now. It may be because some people have not contacted the car factory yet after knowing the news. But if more people apply for transfer, production may have to be reduced, and if the planned tasks cannot be completed. Those who are factory directors also need to be held accountable.
(Only 70 votes are needed to reach the full thousand. There is no need to waste more. If you can see it, if you have the votes, I hope you can help. There are still eight hours.)
