Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 415 Expansion

Qin Wangshu left the dormitory building with the girl who led the way. On the way, the girl introduced her to some of the situation here.

"Aping, take me to see Manager Meng." Manager Meng is the person in charge here. Qin Wangshu has come here with great difficulty, so naturally he wants to see how the progress is here.

"Okay, Mr. Qin." Ping knew that the person in front of her was the boss of the factory, so she naturally did not dare to neglect him and took her to Manager Meng's office.

"Boss Qin, you're finally here!" Manager Meng didn't say much about the factory because there were outsiders here just now. Now that there are only the two of them, he really has a lot of grievances to complain about.

"What's wrong? Is anything going wrong?" Qin Wangshu sat down opposite Manager Meng. She trusted the person in front of her very much. He was also a capable person, so she didn't think there would be any problem.

"The factory is progressing smoothly, but what about the sales of these products?" Manager Meng paused. There were no problems with the raw materials and machines, and a batch of goods were produced quickly according to Qin Wangshu's formula, but they were unable to find a way to sell them.

"Sales? I remember I contacted some department stores at that time, and they agreed to let our products in." Qin Wangshu was a little puzzled.

"But that's only part of it. Our production capacity is not low, and these department stores simply cannot take in all our goods." Because the factory pays wages on a piece-rate basis, everyone's work enthusiasm is very high, and they can't wait to work overtime in the factory every day.

If there were not enough raw materials and the machines needed to rest, they would have wanted to work twenty-four hours a day, especially after the first month's salary was paid.

The average monthly salary of workers is about 1/3 higher than that of other factories. After receiving the salary, the workers also know how the salary is calculated, so their work enthusiasm is even higher in the second month.

The factory's production capacity has increased, but the sales channels have not been opened. There are already a lot of goods piled up in the warehouse, so Manager Meng is very worried.

"It doesn't matter. Someone will come in two days to take this batch of goods away." Mengge will probably come over in a few days. She has already agreed on the order quantity with him. When the time comes, she will just have to ask him to come over, pay the money and take the goods away.

He can take over a lot of goods. In fact, when the factory was built, Jiang Meng wanted to invest in it, but Qin Wangshu did not agree. Instead, he sold a batch of older medicinal materials, and only then did he have the money to build the factory.

Fortunately, there were some foreign businessmen there at the time, who were able to raise the price of these medicinal materials, allowing Qin Wangshu to make more money.

"But the sales you mentioned are indeed a problem. So Manager Meng, we need to set up a sales department and recruit a group of sales talents to open up the market." Qin Wangshu opened up some channels around him, but the market here is so small, and the south is warm and humid, so people don't really need vanishing cream or the like.

Most of the products sold here are shampoos and shower gels. Qin Wangshu has also developed several types of shower gels, which have pleasant scents and last long. They have been well received as soon as they were put on the shelves.

The weather is hot here, so people wash their hair and take a shower very frequently, so sales naturally go up. Some powders and lipsticks also sell well.

However, since sales cannot keep up, we naturally need some sales talents to sell these goods.

"Boss Qin, do you mean to hire more people?" Manager Meng was stunned. Their daily chemical factory was quite large, especially compared to the sugar factory next door, but it really didn't make much money. If they hired more people now...

"Well, we do need to recruit people, but we can't recruit just anyone. You'd better check the character of these people." Qin Wangshu looked at Manager Meng, "If Manager Meng has someone trustworthy, you can call him over."

Because her brother and her boyfriend are both soldiers, she has a very good impression of soldiers.

"What does Mr. Qin mean?" Is this what he understood? If so, could he call more people over?

He knew that some of his comrades did not live very well after returning. Those were good men, but they did not make any requests because they were injured and did not want to cause trouble to the army. Now that Qin Wangshu said he could recruit people, he thought of those people.

Even if Qin Wangshu doesn't use them, he can use their family members.

"Some of the factory employees are locals, but we also need to recruit some of our own people. And soon the factory here will need to be expanded, and we will need more workers."

In the past, she didn’t have time to come here, but now that Wu Min is here, she can give some of her ideas to Wu Min, so that more production lines will be needed here to produce more products.

Now there are only some ordinary products here, but next she is going to produce skin care sets and facial masks, which are her money-making tools.

"More expansion?" Manager Meng was a little surprised. But he was very happy that Qin Wangshu accepted him as one of his own.

"Yes, the person I brought here today is my classmate. She is a top student at Beijing University. By then, our factory will definitely have more products, so we will naturally have to expand and add more production lines."

"Then I'll contact them right away!" Manager Meng was very happy.

"Don't be in a hurry. You can build the infrastructure first and then ask people to come over. You can't let them come here to suffer!" Qin Wangshu actually had other ideas. There were rumors of canceling cloth coupons.

If cloth coupons were really cancelled, she could start building garment factories. By building a factory here and another one in Beijing, she could recruit more workers.

The wave of layoffs in the 1980s affected a lot of people. If she could solve the employment problems of some people, she would also be eligible to ask for some preferential treatment from the higher-ups.

What is the most valuable thing in the future? Land!

"What Mr. Qin said is true. Then I will continue to find someone to build the house."

"I'll let Brother Li stay to help you this time." Brother Li was one of the bodyguards that Yang Mingye found for Qin Wangshu. He used to be an engineer. It was thanks to him that Qin Wangshu did not suffer too much when the factory was built.

"What about your safety?" Li Jun is Qin Wangshu's bodyguard and is responsible for Qin Wangshu's safety.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not that high-profile. I'll buy a sleeper ticket when I go back and you can just send me to the train. I'll stay in school when I get to Beijing. I'll ask Mingye to contact a few more people for me then." Qin Wangshu is not used to the habit of going out with bodyguards. Besides, who knows her now?

The reason why she did not refuse the bodyguard was because the road was not safe, and Yang Mingye and Aunt Luo were worried about her going south alone.
