Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 23 Preparing for Startup

At noon, I asked Yang Gong to go out for dinner, but he refused, saying that it would not affect us well. He just introduced us to a restaurant not far away, saying that the food there was delicious.

I thought to myself, I'm not a woman, how can I still have a bad influence? I didn't force him, we went to eat by ourselves.

When I went to the restaurant, I specifically emphasized over and over again not to put peppers, and then ordered a table of dishes.But when the dishes came up, there were still peppers in every dish. We were grinning when we were eating, and there were even peppers in the soup.I called the boss over and said, didn't I tell you not to put peppers?The boss nodded seriously and said that there was no pepper.I am also very helpless, this may be the Hunan people do not put pepper.

After dinner, I asked about the specific situation.

Tax workers said: "The equipment is generally fine, but due to the lack of electricity, it is impossible to check the operation status and maintenance records. They still understand the equipment quite well, and they have never been overloaded. There should not be much production before, not always at full capacity. working."

Master Yin said: "The sound of the motor is knocked, and the mechanical solder joints are seen. The equipment has not been overhauled, and it should be able to operate normally."

The workshop director Li Xiang said: "The workshop space is very high, and the ventilation effect is good, that is, the glass must be installed, otherwise it will be dangerous in rainy days. In addition, the finished product placement area is too far away from the packaging, and it is separated by a workshop, which is too inconvenient. The office and the quality inspection department are together and do not meet the regulations."

Zhang Hua said: "The testing equipment lacks a balance tester and a tension sensor, and needs to apply immediately."

Wan Yanling has no problem.

After listening, I said: "I will give the equipment user manual to the tax worker in the afternoon. The tax worker, look at how many people you need, who is it? Master Yin also needs a few people. Li Xiang, if the equipment is fully turned on, there will be three shifts in four shifts. Operation, how many people are in each shift, and how many people are needed in total, you should arrange them as soon as possible. Zhang Hua, your testing equipment should first contact the headquarters to see if there is any way there. How many people to recruit, and then ask Yang Gong to share the resumes of the employees in the factory and arrange interviews."

After that, I asked Xiaohai forklift how?Xiaohai said that forklifts can be used, but there is no oil, and the pickup truck has no keys.

I nodded and told everyone to go to the office building to rest first.

In the afternoon, I called Mr. Huang, and the other end of the phone was still very noisy. I didn’t know what Mr. Huang was busy with. I briefly told him about the situation. How much out?"

This question stopped me, and I replied: "Look at the equipment user manual. There are 4 pieces of equipment, and each piece of equipment is about 3000 tons under full load for one year on average. However, I have to look at the specific trial operation."

Mr. Huang gave an "um" and asked again, "How many people are you planning to recruit?"

I replied, "I don't know how many people are needed in the workshop and machine repair, and there is no one in the packaging department. I didn't know until after they counted it in the afternoon. Uncle Huang, if we don't sign the agreement for a day, we will worry about it for a day. Ah, try to sign the agreement first, and then the equipment is powered on, and the transportation problem."

Mr. Huang thought for a while: "I know, you can sign the agreement, you can decide the personnel, it must be reliable, and the power supply instructions should be added to the agreement, and it should be dedicated to the electricity. There is always a power outage here, and the pickup truck key must be returned. , and then renovate the dormitory area, so that everyone can live comfortably, don't save money."

I thought to myself, are you going to be the hand-luck shopkeeper?It's still a test of my ability, and he replied: "Okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible. In addition, Xiaohai asked him to work with me first. When the production is normal, I'll arrange it for him."

Mr. Huang snorted loudly, stopped writing, and then hung up the phone.

In the afternoon, I first asked Yang Gong to find the supervisor of the packaging department. She was a big sister, dressed in neat and clean work clothes. She looked very energetic. She entered the office, glanced at me, and asked Yang Gong: "Old Yang, that's not it. Is the leader of the side looking for me? Where is the person?"

I guessed that I was too young, so I grabbed it and said, "What's your name, this eldest sister? I'm looking for you."

The eldest sister gave me a puzzled look, and then looked at Yang Gong with questioning eyes, and Yang Gong nodded.The eldest sister said embarrassedly: "Leader, I'm sorry, I didn't see it, you're still a child, no...no...I didn't mean that, my surname is Jiang, my name is Jiang Wenli, I'm from the packaging department, and I'm still in charge. warehouse."

I didn't mind how she looked at me, so I continued to ask, "Sister Jiang, how many people did you have in the packaging department and warehouse?"

Sister Jiang counted with her fingers: "Add me, a total of 26 people, three shifts, 4 people in the warehouse, including the warehouse for machine repair parts."

I nodded and said, "Sister Jiang, in this way, you need to find 4 people first, check out the accessories and inventory in the warehouse, make a list, and give it to me. In the future, you will be in charge of the packaging workshop and warehouse, but it will take a three-month trial period. , can you see?"

Sister Jiang didn't expect me to make a decision so quickly, and was very happy: "That's fine, but does what you say count?"

Yang Gong glared at Sister Jiang and said, "What do you say? This is our little President Chen, of course it's up to you!"

It sounds awkward to me that he added a small word, but when I think about it carefully, I am a young man in his 20s, leading a group of people in their 40s and [-]s.

After the packaging and the warehouse were fixed, the number of people in the workshop was also released. I told Li Xiang to ask Yang Gong to notify the original employees to come for an interview. The probation period for all of them was three months. , to be honest.

After the machine repair, the number of personnel of the power department and the quality inspection were also determined, and the interview was scheduled to start tomorrow.

After finishing the task at hand, it was already night, and we were about to go back to the hotel when Mr. Huang called and told me to find a car and go to a "Junjun Restaurant" in the city by myself.

I didn't tell other people where I was going, I just told everyone to go back to the hotel first and let Xiao Wan lead everyone to find a place to eat.

I found a bouncing car and went to the "Junjun Restaurant" in the city. A tall middle-aged man was waiting at the door of the restaurant. When I got off the car, he asked if it was Mr. Chen from Wanxing.I hurriedly nodded, the middle-aged man was very polite, handed me the King Lotus, and led me into the private room.This restaurant is basically not decorated, and it is not big, but there are many people, one table next to another, and everyone's face is red when they drink.

There were four people in the private room, three men and one woman. When they saw me coming in, they said to the middle-aged man, "Lao Liang, go and ask the boss to serve the food!"

Then I had to put me in the position of my master. I refused to say anything and sat next to a bald middle-aged man.The bald man introduced himself and said, "It's a bit pretentious. You Huang and I are always classmates in college. My surname is Zhong, and I am the director of the Foreign Economic and Trade Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Lianyuan Xiaguang Machinery is the thread that I will lead you." I quickly stood up, shook hands again, and said very politely, "Hello Director Zhong, hello Director Zhong!"

Director Zhong hurriedly sat me down and said, "Don't be so polite. Huang and I are always old friends. He also told me about your situation. Tonight is for you to get to know everyone, nothing else!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a relatively young man on his right and said, "This is Section Chief Wang of our Municipal Electric Power Bureau." After speaking, we shook hands.

Then he pointed to another younger man and said, "This is Mao Mao who drives for the Finance Bureau in the city, and his wife is also an employee of your Xiaguang."

I shook hands and said, "Good luck! Good luck!"

In the end, there was Lao Liang and a woman, about 40 years old, dressed in jewels and jewels, but her dark face could not be covered by white makeup.They are husband and wife. Lao Liang used to be the driver of Xiaguang Machinery Factory, driving for the boss. The woman is in charge of finance, and her surname is Li.
