"President Zhao, Manager Mei is back."
"Oh? How is the negotiation? Bing City Government should have agreed to our conditions. "President Zhao picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Huh … … President Zhao, Manager Mei's expression is not right. There might be some problems with the negotiations."
"What? Something went wrong? Where is Mei Fangwu? Call him over now! "
FAW, the biggest automobile manufacturer in Hua Xia, had failed to negotiate with Bing City Government to set up two smaller factories?
This should not be the case. The conditions offered were not bad, and the two factories in Bing City were not doing well. How could they still ask for a higher price? Bing City Government was not afraid of losing in their own hands?
"Mr. Zhao, I've failed to live up to your trust and our First Automobile Works. The negotiation has failed." Mei Fangwu sighed and said. He couldn't hide the tiredness on his face.
"Failed? Why? Is the price not right? Didn't I tell you that you can lower the price? " President Zhao was not happy. Even if Feng Yu had not negotiated well, there was no need for him to come back. Although Bing City was close to Ji City, there was no need for him to go back and forth.
"President Zhao, there is no more chance. Bing City had started their own automobile project!"
"What? Bing City started their own automobile project? They are crazy! "President Zhao was shocked. Bing City was so close to Ji City, and they wanted to compete with FAW?
Where did they get the confidence to compete with FAW? They dare to compete with Hua Xia's biggest automobile manufacturer?
"President Zhao, do you know about that Bing City Machinery Company? It is the company that sells motorcycles. This is the company that had started their automobile project. I heard that they had bought the Soviet Union's technologies and production lines. Now, they are leveling the land and will start building the factory in Spring. "
"A company that sells motorcycles wants to produce automobiles? Humph! They think that they can produce automobiles with the technologies they bought from the Soviet Union? This automobile is much more sophisticated than motorcycles. Furthermore, have they researched the automobile market? They are hot-headed and want to start an automobile project? Then let's stop negotiating with Bing City Government first. When their automobile factory is no longer operating, they will come and beg us to buy it over! " Director Zhao slammed the teacup on the table, and the tea splashed on the table, wetting a copy of the "Automobile Industrial Park Construction Plan" on the table.
…
"Quiet down, everyone. I'll say a few words. Some people say that we are biting off more than we can chew and are jealous of FAW's profits. There are also people who say that the technology we bought back is outdated, so we can only build cars behind closed doors, and no one will buy the cars we produce. But I want to tell all of you that you all don't have to worry about this. We have hired the best designers and engineers, and we have sufficient funds. Our Songjiang Motors cars will be popular all over China! "
Li Mingde stood on the stage and held a meeting to motivate the staff to apply to be transferred to the new automobile factory.
This new automobile factory was located in the west of Bing City. It was very remote. Although the salaries were still the same, the workers were not enthusiastic. There were rumors that the Machinery Company and the Motorcycle Factory would be increasing their salaries in the middle of the year. The salaries were the same now, but could it still be the same in the future?
They were more worried that if the automobile branch factory failed, even if they promised to be transferred back, would there still be a good position? The salaries and bonuses of different workshops were also different. FAW's motorcycle and agricultural machinery sales were the best in the country. How could they compare with FAW's automobile sales?
No one stepped forward, and Li Mingde was embarrassed. He looked at the few people who had just spoken to him. Immediately, someone stepped forward and shouted: "Manager Li, I am willing to go to the automobile branch factory."
"Manager Li, I am also willing to go to the automobile branch factory. I believe that under the leadership of the leaders, we will be able to win against FAW!"
"I am also willing to go. For the sake of our country, we will stop the Japanese from taking over our country's automobile industry. We will work hard and build our own cars!"
… …
Feng Yu was speechless as he watched from the stage. The more Li Mingde talked about, the more he talked about the country and the people. But it seemed that there were some effects. At least, it was more effective than what Li Mingde said. There were already some workers who expressed their support.
But the number of workers was still too little. It was not enough. The country's economy was not doing well, and many state-owned enterprises were in the throes of failed reforms. Many cities had workers, but there were not enough jobs. But in Bing City, it was the opposite. There were jobs, but there were not enough workers!
In Feng Yu's previous life, the Aviation Factory, Motor Factory, Machinery Company, Beer Factory, and other state-owned enterprises were not working at full capacity. The workers were working for one day and resting for two days.
But now, it was different. The factories were working at full capacity, and many of the light industrial products were sold by Feng Yu to the Soviet Union. In the past, some of the big factories in Bing City had to let one of the parents retire early and let their children take over. But now, the factories were expanding, and the parents did not need to retire to let their children work. Even those who retired early were rehired by the factories.
In the past, Zhang Ruiqiang had told Feng Yu that if they were to hire workers, they must be from Bing City. But now, there were no workers. Some of the workers were retired and could not adapt to the tough work in the workshops. Some of them were inexperienced workers.
Most of the lathes were semi-automatic. The inexperienced workers were different from the workers' children. Most of the workers' children had played in the factories since young. They had seen some of the work and could ask their parents when they returned home.
These outsiders were different. The teachers might not be willing to teach them, and their parents did not give them "special treatment". They could not stand being scolded. It was much harder to turn them into experienced workers than the workers' children.
Seems like Feng Yu still needs to poach some experienced workers from the state-owned enterprises. There were too few experienced workers who were willing to be transferred to the automobile branch factory. Hmmm … FAW also had a lot of workers who retired early.
Feng Yu suddenly remembered that FAW had the same way of succession. As long as the workers were old enough, many workers would choose to give up their positions to their children. As long as they could survive 2 years, their lives would be better.
But after those experienced workers retired early, they were rehired. Some of them even came to Bing City to look for jobs. They might not be suitable for other jobs, and the salaries were not high. But if they were to work at the automobile branch factory, they would be considered experienced workers.
After Li Mingde mobilized some of the workers, it was still not enough. He was about to tell Feng Yu that he will force some skilled workers to work at the automobile branch factory. This way, the factory will not be affected.
Feng Yu smiled and patted Li Mingde's shoulders: "Manager Li, do you think it is feasible for us to recruit workers near FAW?"
"Recruit workers near FAW? What do you want?"
"Workers who retired early. As long as they are not forced to retire early, we can hire them."
Li Mingde's eyes opened wide. This was too embarrassing. You are competing with them for the automobile market, and now you want to recruit workers at their doorstep? You are not afraid that they will attack you?
"General Manager Feng, are we really going to do this?" Li Mingde swallowed his saliva and asked.
"That's right. Didn't they say that we are building cars behind closed doors? Fine. We will use their workers to build cars. If they are capable, they can hire those retired workers back. Let's do this! "
