Chapter 136 Looking for Employees
The next morning, Lu Hai boarded a bus to the city.
After all, this trip took almost a week.
Now the hot pot restaurant is just starting out, and the few brothers I brought with me have no previous experience in this area, although they have no problem handling things normally.
However, they are afraid that someone might come to disrupt them and they might not be able to make up their minds. Besides, anyone living in Zhongguancun probably already knows how popular hot pot restaurants are.
In this situation, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be jealous people, especially since competition from peers will surely increase over time.
Although he really wanted to stay with his wife, there was no other way and he had to hurry back to Kyoto.
So, I could only hurry back after settling the matters in the village.
I didn't even have the chance to have a drink with Lin Jianguo. We could only make an appointment to have a good drink together during the New Year.
That night, when Lu Hai walked out of the train station, he saw Liu Guowei who had been waiting at the door.
"Brother Liu, is the factory so idle nowadays?" Lu Hai joked.
Liu Guowei rolled his eyes and said, "I can't help it. You know the situation in this factory. Those guys are all profit-driven. Compared with their predecessors, they are not corrupt, but they are even more greedy. Especially since your hundreds of thousands of dollars are related to whether they can have a good year. So when you went back, they tried every means to find out from me, for fear that you would run away and make them happy for nothing."
"So Brother Liu, you knew I was coming back today so you came directly to the train station to block me?" Lu Hai teased.
When Liu Guowei heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Brother Lu, if you say that, then I will go back. It's so late, I don't believe you can still get a taxi."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hai immediately admitted his mistake, "No, no, no, Brother Liu, I was just joking, it's not that serious."
After saying that, he pulled Liu Guowei towards the car.
"Have the money problems been solved?" Liu Guowei naturally did not take it seriously and asked as he walked.
"It's solved, and the result is pretty good. At least the issue of the 500,000 yuan has been resolved." Lu Hai replied, and then continued to ask, "Have the workers' issues been resolved?"
"It's not a big problem. At first I planned to find employees from the National Cotton Mill No. 1, but then I thought, if I find someone from my own factory, Zhang Zhiyong will definitely have some ideas, especially after making money, maybe he will do something weird, so I specially found a factory that specializes in ready-made clothes."
"Besides, there is another advantage, that is professionalism. Although the people at the First National Cotton Mill are also good, they are not as good as the tailors who specialize in making ready-made clothes."
When Lu Hai heard this, he thought this approach was very reasonable.
"Brother Liu, you can do this, but what about the price?"
Compared with people like Zhang Zhiyong, price is obviously something that needs more attention.
After all, Zhang Zhiyong and others have a contract, so even if they want to make trouble, I have plenty of ways to deal with it.
But there is nothing you can do about money.
Moreover, this batch of cloth requires a lot of raw materials, and the processing time must be quite long, so the labor cost is not low.
"One yuan a day for each worker is a little lower than the normal wage in their factory. Because they don't have many orders now, some workers are idle at home, and they can't lay off these people. So if we can give them a large order, it will be a win-win situation for the factory, the workers, or us."
"As for the issue of wages, will the factory do ideological work for the employees? After all, Brother Liu, if the wages are lower than usual, the workers will be unhappy and will go on strike. The resulting garments will damage our reputation." Lu Hai hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his concerns.
"Don't worry about this. The factory leaders have already discussed this with the workers two days ago, and the workers are very happy to accept this plan. After all, no one can stand lying at home with only expenses and no income. Now they can earn one dollar a day, which is a good thing for them."
As if remembering something, Liu Guowei continued to add, "But in the same way, the factory charges 10 cents per worker per day. After all, the site tools are all owned by the factory, and they also consume the factory's water and electricity, so the actual wage is 1.1 yuan per worker per day."
When Lu Hai heard this, he had only one reaction.
That's too cheap!
After all, if you calculate it this way, the maximum profit for this month is just 33 yuan, which is more than ten yuan per person more than Lu Hai expected.
Before that, he had estimated the price to be RMB 1.5 per person per day.
Nowadays, if everyone can save a dime or become more professional, Lu Hai will naturally be very happy.
“How’s the efficiency?”
After all, they are making clothes. If the speed is very slow, Lu Hai will suffer a huge loss.
"It depends on the complexity of the clothes. After all, clothes are different from other things. Different craftsmanship and complexity will naturally lead to different efficiency in making clothes." Liu Guowei said directly.
When Lu Hai heard this, he thought it made a lot of sense.
I was too anxious and forgot about this.
But the main reason is that I have never come across this kind of thing before, so I don’t fully understand it.
"Then can we let them produce some samples now and then observe the efficiency separately? After all, it's the New Year now, and whether we can make money depends on the first two months before the New Year." Lu Hai asked.
"Of course you can, but it's too late now. I'll take you there tomorrow morning." Liu Guowei said as he drove.
"Okay, I'll trouble Brother Liu then, but you need to bring some cloth."
"No problem, don't worry."
......
The next day, Lu Hai first went to the store to inquire about the current situation in the store and whether anything had happened during his absence.
Another thing is to check the accounts.
I found that everything was handled in an orderly manner with the cooperation of several people.
So, Lu Hai also breathed a sigh of relief.
Under this circumstance, even if I am away for a long time, it will not have any impact on the business of the store.
"However, brother-in-law, someone came to the store these two days to ask us how the hot pot base was made, and this person tried to test our attitude more than once. But this thing is a secret recipe after all, so none of us brothers told it." Jiang Wenbai said.
"Is there any unusual behavior?" Lu Hai asked.
"We didn't find anything unusual, but even though he always pretends to be an ordinary person, he can be sneaky sometimes, so we always keep an eye on him every time he comes."
"It was you, brother-in-law, who told us that we shouldn't insult and drive away customers, otherwise we would have thrown this person out long ago."
When Lu Hai heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.
"It's okay, come over next time and just do your work normally, you don't have to keep an eye on him."
When they heard this, they were shocked.
However, when they thought that it was Lu Hai who said this, they didn't bother to worry about it anymore.
After all, Lu Hai has used countless practical actions to tell them that even what he, Lu Hai, said would be proven to be extremely correct afterwards.
"Okay, Brother Lu, we got it."
"Well, go down and get busy first. I have to go out for a while, and the store still depends on you." Lu Hai said.
"It's okay, Brother Lu, just do your thing."
"Um......"
Not long after, Liu Guowei came to the store.
When Lu Hai saw him, he went straight out of the door with him.
However, as soon as he got in the car, Lu Hai spoke directly,
"Brother Liu, help me get a set of surveillance cameras. I plan to install them in the store."
Liu Guowei was stunned when he heard this, but it was just finding a surveillance camera, not helping Lu Hai find a gun, so how difficult was it?
So, naturally, I patted my chest and agreed to this matter...
