Chapter 249 Director Sun's Difficulty
After returning to the office and just sitting down, Zhao Aimin saw Director Sun following him.
"Director Sun, please sit down." Zhao Aimin beckoned the director to sit down.
"Mr. Zhao, it's a shame that I'm the factory director..." Factory director Sun sat down and sighed.
"Director Sun, it's not easy for you to manage so many workers." Zhao Aimin comforted.
"It's really not easy to say, but I have to solve their wage problems, prevent them from making trouble, and pay attention to production safety, medical treatment and housing issues. There are really a lot of things that I have to take care of!"
After finishing speaking, Director Sun quickly added: "Mr. Zhao, I'm not complaining to you. I came to you to ask you to give me advice."
"What needs my advice?" Zhao Aimin asked.
"It's the production of our cotton factory. Now you know that our cotton factory has stopped production for half a month, and the wages of the workers are paid by the money allocated from above."
"If this continues, our cotton factory will become a burden to the country. Instead of contributing to the country's construction, it will become a blood-sucking moth, taking other people's hard-earned money and spending it on our own!"
Director Sun became more and more excited as he talked.
What Zhao Aimin said outside just now deeply affected him.
The money they earn from the cotton workshop is not even enough to pay wages, and the higher-ups have to allocate funds to pay wages.
And where did the money come from?Isn't it someone else's hard earned money?
And the Cotton Mill used the money to pay wages, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Director Sun, although I have the right to manage the Cotton Factory, the main reason is that some unused houses in the Cotton Factory still have vacant land."
"At the beginning, we agreed that I would not interfere with the operation of the Cotton Factory, nor would I be responsible for your workers' wages."
Zhao Aimin said lightly.
"I know, I don't want you to be responsible, but I just want to ask you for advice. Can you give me some ideas to improve the business of our cotton factory?" Director Sun looked at Zhao Aimin expectantly. .
The cooperation between them is very strange. It stands to reason that the management right of Cotton Factory has been transferred to Zhao Aimin, and Zhao Aimin will be in charge of the operation of Cotton Factory.
But in fact, in order to protect the jobs of the workers in the cotton factory, the superior signed a supplementary agreement with Zhao Aimin, not allowing Zhao Aimin to change the workers in the cotton factory.
No dismissal of the workers in the cotton mill, no reduction in the wages of the cotton mill workers, no...
In short, Zhao Aimin is not allowed to interfere in all affairs of the Cotton Factory.
All Zhao Aimin can use is the site of Cotton Factory and unused factory buildings.
The reason why the officials did this was because they were worried that Zhao Aimin would fire all the workers in order to save costs.
If placed in later generations, such an acquisition would be impossible to achieve.
But now the situation is special, so such a strange acquisition agreement has been reached.
Zhao Aimin originally didn't want to take care of the Cotton Factory's affairs, but seeing Director Sun's sincere words, he thought for a while and said: "The main business scope of the Cotton Factory is to purchase cotton and process old cotton."
"This kind of business direction itself has problems, and it will be difficult to continue to operate in the future."
"If you want to improve the business situation, my suggestion is to adjust the business direction and use the current resources of the Cotton Workshop to produce some useful products for people."
"As long as the product has value, it can be sold."
"Conversely, there is no need to produce things that have no value!"
Hearing what Zhao Aimin said, Director Sun felt that it made sense, but he also felt that he didn't understand it very well.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm not as smart as you. I feel that what you said makes sense, but I don't understand the reason. Can you speak more clearly?" Director Sun asked.
"Director Sun, do you know why Cotton Factory was established?" Zhao Aimin asked.
"You know, cotton is a very rare strategic material, and many factories need this kind of raw material. Therefore, we need to collect the scattered cotton, then process it roughly, and then provide it to other factories as raw materials." Director Sun said .
"At that time, it was really necessary to set up a factory like Cotton Factory. But now the situation has changed!" Zhao Aimin said: "As early as a few years ago, the country realized the importance of cotton and increased cotton production in many places. acreage. As a result, there is more cotton now than there was before."
"Although it is still not enough, it is no longer necessary to set up a special factory to collect loose cotton!"
"In the future, this kind of work can be handed over to the self-employed, so why do workers need to do it?"
Hearing what Zhao Aimin said, Director Sun fell into deep thought.
He felt that Zhao Aimin was right.
For the current work of the cotton factory, there is no need to hire a large group of people, it only needs to be handed over to the self-employed.
To put it bluntly, self-employed people only need three or five people to complete the entire workload of the cotton workshop!
However, what will the large group of workers do in this case?
They have a big family to support.
Director Sun expressed his doubts.
"Director Sun, there are two things to look at. On the one hand, there is no need for so many people to do the existing management work of the Cotton Factory, and on the other hand, the Cotton Factory can increase other business scopes, so that the workers will have something to do. Yet?"
"After all, our Cotton Factory is a state-owned enterprise, and we still have a solid foundation. It is relatively easy to increase the scope of business."
Zhao Aimin said.
"Then what do you think they should do?" Director Sun asked.
"There are many things that can be done. For example, the natural advantage of Cotton Factory is that it is easy to get cotton. Then we can take advantage of this advantage and make cotton into quilts, cotton clothes, cotton hats, and cotton pads for shoes!"
"And my garment factory will expand its sales channels in the future. All kinds of cotton products you produce can be sold through my channels."
"Of course, you can find channels by yourself, it's not difficult."
Zhao Aimin said.
"Mr. Zhao, what you said is great!" Director Sun sighed: "But the last sentence you said is not difficult, it is true for you, but it is too difficult for me! "
Having said that, Director Sun smiled wryly.
"It's not difficult for you, the key is to change your thinking." Zhao Aimin said, "Do you know why it's not difficult? Did you find out? Is there any difference in the atmosphere this year?"
Director Sun was taken aback, thought for a while and then said: "Everyone seems to be in a much better mood this year, and they are more energetic."
"Why is this happening? It's because of the bumper harvest this year! Farmers' lives are better and they have money to buy things."
"And everyone's life will get better and better in the future. Those who were reluctant to buy before will buy them in the future, and even rush to buy them!"
"Take my garment factory as an example. What kind of clothes did everyone wear before? Are they all blue clothes? Even if there are better-looking clothes, they are reluctant to buy them because they have no money."
"But now you go and have a look on the street, are some people wearing different clothes?"
"Although there are not many people, there will be more and more in the future!"
"That's why I chose to open a garment factory."
"And your cotton workshop is the same. As long as you make high-quality and cheap cotton clothes and quilts, you still worry about not being able to sell them?"
Zhao Aimin analyzed.
