Chapter 527 Money moves people’s hearts
Sha Zhu was a little clever and placed the more than 10,000 yuan in cash that was left after paying off his debts on the table.
The one thousand yuan on the passbook and the one thousand yuan in cash piled up in reality are two different concepts. The latter can stimulate people's attention to the greatest extent.
For the sake of money, the dairy factory workers who rarely came in the past also attended the money distribution meeting this time. Men and women, young and old, the first thing they did after entering the door was to cast their eyes on the pile of cash on the table.
To put it bluntly.
Even if these people in the room were tied together, they had never seen so much money.
The sound of swallowing saliva can be heard from time to time.
This is the effect that Sha Zhu wants to see. Only when these money are piled together can the dairy factory be revived. Otherwise, I really don't know what's going on with these people. They are still fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.
Dairy factories want to get out of their current predicament.
You can only take the wrong approach.
Current situation.
not bad.
It met Shazhu's expectations.
When the last person came in and closed the door tightly, everyone present held their breath as much as possible, giving Sha Zhu a feeling of silence.
He tapped the table with his fingers a few times. The crisp sound emanated from the tapping points and penetrated into the ears of everyone present.
With the help of voice, he successfully attracted people's attention to himself.
He stood up from the stool, walked around the open space in the room, slowly passed by everyone present, then stood in front of the table in the middle with piles of banknotes, and spoke.
"On the 6th, I stepped down from the position of deputy director of the steel mill and came to our Red Star Dairy to be the director. When I left, someone said this to me. He said, "I really don't understand you. You gave up your good position as deputy director and insisted on running to be the head of a dairy factory. It's a small workshop with 50 people. If you say you are the director, it will be really embarrassing if it gets out. I know you are unhappy. To be honest, I am not happy either."
Sha Zhu saw the unwillingness in people's eyes.
"The key lies in how you view this matter. I regard it as a spur to me. When I came here, I had already made up my mind to do a good job and make the dairy factory bigger and stronger. The dairy factory cannot be destroyed in our hands. We must fulfill our responsibilities and obligations. This is what I think. I will never leave the dairy factory until I have made some achievements in the dairy factory. My strength alone is very small. We all need to work together. I need you, and the dairy factory needs you people even more. It's not for me, but for you."
In some people’s eyes.
A hint of disdain appeared.
Before Sha Zhu came, the dairy factory had gone through several factory managers in just three months. When they came, they were full of ambitions, but within a few days, they were transferred to other units in disgrace. The shortest stay was two and a half days, and the longest was eight days.
When some people left, they acted out a scene with their co-workers, saying they couldn't bear to leave them and the dairy factory. Some people just patted their butts and left. When the people at the dairy factory saw the new director the next day, they learned that the former director had escaped under the cover of darkness and went to another unit.
Now, they have listened to what Sha Zhu said to them no less than seven or eight times. From the initial enthusiasm to the current familiarity, they no longer have any expectations. They just think about doing their job as they please. As long as the dairy factory is still there, they will receive the salary from the dairy factory. If the dairy factory is gone, they will find a way to make a living for themselves. At worst, they can change to another job.
Compared with those inactive factory directors, Sha Zhu's only advantage is that in the few days since he took office, he broke the record for the longest tenure of a factory director at the dairy factory this year, and he also paid off the dairy factory's debts, allowing these people to get paid.
That's it.
As for other things, it is about making the dairy factory bigger and stronger and creating brilliance together.
Pure bullshit.
If it weren't for the back pay soon, he might have left now.
It's not for Sha Zhu's sake, it's for the sake of money.
Sha Zhu also knew this, and after saying these words, he handed the venue over to Ding Hongxia.
Ding Hongxia is the financial director of the dairy factory. She holds a stack of thick notebooks in her hands, which record the financial transactions of the fifty employees of the dairy factory over the past two months.
Although I can't pay my wages, I can't survive. I'm asking you to borrow some money. You have to lend me some money.
Equivalent to a bill.
This part of the debt will also be deducted when the salary is paid back today.
Whoever's name is called will go up to Ding Hongxia and compare the amount of money. If there is a problem, he or she will point it out in person. If there is no problem, he or she will stamp his or her signature in the payee's notes column.
Because some people are illiterate and need to sign to receive their wages and benefits, the red fingerprint method was invented before, but some people criticized it, saying that it was like Huang Shiren forcing Yang Bailao to sell Xier. Later, it was unified into a signature stamp. This stamp used to be kept at home, and on the day of receiving wages, it was put in the pocket and taken to the factory. Some people were worried about losing the signature stamp, so they would burn a small hole on the back of the signature stamp and tie it to their belt with a rope.
"Wang Shitou, you borrowed 15 yuan last month and want to deduct it. Do you have any objection?"
"No, minus the 15 yuan loan, there is 48 yuan left, you count it, no problem, stamp it here."
"Li Lun."
"Zhao Zhijie."
"May"
Each person's name was called out and they came over with their signature stamp. In a short while, the wages of all fifty people were paid.
Didn’t leave.
Stayed here.
Salaries were paid and debts were paid off.
Regarding the future work arrangements, I have to listen to Shazhu’s opinion.
In the past, with the steel mill as the guarantee, these people would have continued to deliver the milk collected from the farms to every family member of the steel mill according to a certain proportion. However, now that the steel mill has cut off this part of the expenses, those families of the steel mill who were used to drinking milk are reluctant to spend their own money to buy milk. The visits in the past few days have been very unsuccessful and have yielded almost nothing. Even the weaned children do not want to drink milk, but instead use paste.
Sales volume became a huge mountain weighing down Sha Zhu.
To put it bluntly, he has not been able to think of a suitable solution during this period of time.
No clue at all.
But he couldn't just ignore the lives of the employees who were watching him.
Sha Zhu thought of a solution that was not a solution.
Have a holiday.
In order to save face, he deliberately made up an excuse to show consideration for the employees.
"Five days later, everyone will come to work and follow normal work and rest schedules. You will be busy then. Take advantage of this time to stay at home with your wife and children. Now, go home."
Listen to what Shazhu said.
Fifty employees left one after another.
This includes Ding Hongxia and Zhao Dongsheng.
Just to deceive others.
After a while, the two of them appeared in front of Sha Zhu again. Some things could not be told to those people in the dairy factory, but they could not be hidden from Ding Hongxia and Zhao Dongsheng.
After entering the room, Zhao Dongsheng sat opposite Sha Zhu. As Ding Hongxia was a woman, she paid more attention to details. She picked up a thermos and poured a cup of boiling water for Sha Zhu, Zhao Dongsheng and herself. Then she reached out and grabbed a stool and sat down diagonally opposite Sha Zhu and Zhao Dongsheng.
Six eyes facing each other.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Sha Zhu didn't know what to say for a moment.
In order to ease the embarrassment, he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it.
"Director He, what should we do next?"
Zhao Dongsheng was quite anxious. When Sha Zhu just moved the teacup away from his lips, he asked a question.
What Sha Zhu can understand, he can also understand.
The reason I came back was to mention something to Sha Zhu.
"You came from the steel mill, and you have a good relationship with Director Yang. Why don't you ask Director Yang to back us up? As long as the steel mill backs us up, our dairy factory will be revived."
The best solution to the current predicament of the dairy factory.
Just eat the steel mill.
Tens of thousands of steel rolling mill workers and over 100,000 retired workers and their families easily solved the problem of the dairy factory's milk having no market.
Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean that Shazhu can’t do it either.
Zhao Dongsheng knows the relationship between Sha Zhu and Yang Weimin.
"Director He, I think what Director Zhao said makes sense."
Ding Hongxia also spoke.
She was more aware of the situation in the accounts, and the little money she had left could only last her for another two months at best.
Don't forget it.
The medical reimbursement for some employees' families has not yet been deducted. If this part of the money is deducted, the remaining money is estimated to be not enough to pay one month's salary.
Dairy is difficult.
The only solution is from the steel rolling mill.
"Let me tell you two a secret. The steel mill is considering cutting off all its affiliated industries."
The sound of gasping for air.
It flew out of Ding Hongxia and Zhao Dongsheng’s mouths.
Scared.
One size fits all.
In other words, from now on, the dairy factory has truly entered an era of self-financing. If it makes a profit, it lives, and if it doesn't, it dies. Once the dairy factory goes bankrupt, how will these people solve their food, drink, defecation and urination problems? It will really be a desperate situation.
"Director He, is this true?"
Just finished asking this question.
Ding Hongxia regretted it.
Given the relationship between Sha Zhu and Yang Weimin, it is impossible for him to tell Sha Zhu false news, so the news that the dairy factory was taken over by the steel mill should be true, and it is estimated that it will be implemented in a few days.
"Look at what I'm asking. If that's the case, we really need to think of a solution."
"Director He, if we cut it off across the board, what will happen to the fifty workers in the dairy factory?"
"It used to be a planned economy. How much you produce and how much you sell had nothing to do with the market. Someone would cover the cost, just like our dairy factory. We could give away all the milk we collected. Now it has become a market economy. Everything is decided by the market. Whether your products can be sold depends on sales and quality. We can't rest on our laurels. This is what I think. Let's take advantage of these five days to think about it and see what to do about this matter."
"Director He, if that doesn't work, let's look for those old customers."
"Don't count on it. If we go through a big drama of collecting the debt, they will be unhappy and no matter what you say, they will not want milk from our Red Star Dairy anymore."
"You still hold a grudge. What kind of person is that?"
"Accountant Ding, Director Zhao, this is what I'm thinking. Can we set up a sales department?"
Sha Zhu remembered the script.
After Xu Damao made money, he boasted to Sha Zhu that he had set up a sales department that specialized in taking orders and bringing in business, and that he would give out monetary rewards of different proportions based on the orders brought in.
I hadn't thought of this before, but after hearing what Zhao Dongsheng said just now, I had to bring up the sales department's creative ideas.
Send people out to collect orders and deliver milk to those who have ordered milk one by one according to the orders.
Sha Zhu's target is the entire southwestern urban area. As long as he can take over this area, the dairy factory with 50 people can be fully absorbed.
"Sales department? What do they do?"
"They are responsible for selling products, just like the salespersons in the supply and marketing cooperatives." Zhao Dongsheng explained to Ding Hongxia, "I also heard that there are such sales departments abroad."
"The explanation given by the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative is very appropriate. The difference between them is that the sales department needs to go out and collect orders by themselves, while the supply and marketing cooperative waits for customers to come and buy things."
"Director He, I think your proposal for a sales department is great, but after the sales department is established, should we recruit the order-pullers from the public, or select a few people from the field?"
Zhao Dongsheng hopes it is the former.
In this way, as the director, he can take appropriate actions.
Ding Hongxia also looked at Sha Zhu with hope. Her thoughts were similar to Zhao Dongsheng's. She wanted to recruit her good-for-nothing son.
The one near the water should get the moon first.
Of course Sha Zhu knew what the two were thinking.
It wasn't him who poured cold water on the two of them.
This is the fact.
There is no plan to recruit new people from outside. On the one hand, the newcomers have no experience. On the other hand, the current dairy factory does not have the extra financial resources to support more employees. As for the 50 employees currently on the job, their food, clothing, housing and transportation are already a big concern for Sha Zhu.
Facing their expectant gazes, I said a few truths that ruined the mood.
"Finding new people is a big expense every month. When the dairy factory develops in the future, we will recruit new people from outside. I mean, we should select a few people from the current employees to be in the sales department."
Both Zhao Dongsheng and Ding Hongxia are smart people.
As soon as I heard what Sha Zhu said, I knew that Sha Zhu already had a suitable candidate in mind.
"Director He, who do you think is promising? I'll take note and see what to prepare for them."
"Ding Kuai, Wang Zhengjun, Li Yuzhu, Tang Daqing, Zhou Zhiyong."
Ding Hongxia was secretly surprised.
Zhao Dongsheng had an expression that said, "As expected."
The five names that Sha Zhu read out were the five most eye-catching outstanding representatives in the debt collection in the past few days. The debt collection team headed by these five people successfully collected more than 30,000 yuan of debt for the dairy factory within nine days.
In the process of receiving the money just now, these people also earned a lot of money.
My pockets are much fatter.
Letting Ding Kuai, Wang Zhengjun, Li Yuzhu, Tang Daqing and Zhou Zhiyong go out to take orders is also an effective way to solve the problem.
They all nodded.
This is considered as agreeing with Sha Zhu's proposal. (End of this chapter)
