I'm really just the village head

Chapter 600 - What Do You Want?

Re-establishing the sales company?

The Sequoia Garment Factory used to have a sales department, which still exists today.

It is simply impossible to get many new orders.

Not to mention the export earnings.

"If you don't have one, why do you keep raising benefits there?" Liu Chun came to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi blushed and didn't know how to reply.

"Captain Liu, you're not right like this! The factory is profitable, which all cadres and workers have worked hard to create. Let everyone share the dividends brought by the development of the factory ......"

"Is it? Whose is the increased cost?" Liu Chunlai rudely interrupted Zhu Mingyu.

"Without everyone's joint efforts ......"

Zhu Mingyu is also a bit angry.

She was about to retire anyway.

As a cadre, she naturally had to fight for more benefits for her subordinates.

"Captain Liu, you have to be generous! Our factory, unlike those capitalists, does not exist for the sake of maximum surplus value, but also bears part of the social responsibility ......" Zhu Mingyu looked at Liu Chunlai with a benevolent stance.

The air in the entire conference room gradually froze.

Everyone did not expect things to develop to such an extent.

"Is Liu Chunlai really ready to give up the Sequoia Garment Factory?" Yang Yi's heart was puzzled.

Otherwise, Liu Chunlai wouldn't have seized with this.

The Sequoia Factory's request to give benefits to its cadres and employees was not particularly excessive.

The same goes for the other factories.

Wang Xinmin and Qing Minghong's hearts sank to the bottom.

From the very beginning, when they heard that Jindefu was building a 2,000-person garment factory in the Happy Commune, they sensed that something was wrong.

Was this a complete abandonment of the contract and the development of Chunyu's family?

Extra orders, in the form of direct orders to other garment manufacturers?

In this way, the cost will also be much lower.

Now these operations of Liu Chunlai, everyone is not a fool.

It is by the sales channel.

Seeing the high profits, many garment factories will follow the trend of production, resulting in orders that are not as crazy as before.

If the contract with the Sequoia Garment Factory in Mountain City is terminated, even if the Jiangnan Garment Factory remains, many conditions may be renegotiated with the county.

But this time, no one from the county's Light Industry Bureau is here.

Xu Zhiqiang and Lv Hongtao, who could have stopped Liu Chunlai, were not here either.

The atmosphere in the conference room was frozen.

No one said anything at this time.

"Mr. Ye, you can tell us about the current cost of our garment factory at ....... Liu Chunlai stopped talking and directly named Ye Ling.

Ye Ling looked at him with a bitter smile.

This kid, the things that offend people, he has to let himself do.

No wonder, he had always allowed himself to put the other work first, to calculate the production cost of the garment factory.

Now everyone understands why Ye Ling, the person in charge of finance, is here.

Although Ye Ling is embarrassed, but also does not care, the current subordinate several factories, the cost is growing every month.

Instead, the production capacity has stabilized.

As a finance person, it is natural to keep an eye on the changes in data.

It's only been half a year.

"We may pay little attention to costs because of our regular work. At first our jute purchase price is relatively high, even if there are textile mills in the hands, the cost can be effectively controlled, with the rise in prices and so on ......"

Elin didn't start by saying how much it would cost.

Rather, she told us the current situation.

"In order to control the quality of the products, the ratio of the second line staff to the first line staff in the Sequoia Garment Factory is 3:7; the ratio in the Jiangnan Garment Factory is about 2.53:7.47; and the ratio in the Spring Rain Garment Factory is 1:9. ...... "

The people were puzzled as to what this meant.

The cadres of the four brigades were even more confused.

This had nothing to do with them.

But then, Ye Ling's words made the cadres of the four major teams become angry.

"You may think that the staffing ratio does not matter much, more managers can make the production efficiency ...... but we should not forget that the job of the managers is management, if the management is not in place, it will even reduce the production efficiency. Take our previous largest output of denim clothing, for example, the Redwoods Garment Factory, the production cost of a set, has now increased to 8 yuan 70 cents 3 a set; Jiangnan plant cost 8 yuan 30 cents 2 cents; Spring Rain plant for 6 yuan 80 cents ......"

"How could it be! Our own production cost is just under $7 a set!"

Zhu Mingyu was the first to retort.

There is a problem with the data.

The managers of the Sequoia factory, when the second batch of sewing machine equipment was added, did increase a lot because of the number of personnel, according to the configuration of the state-owned factory, and even some of the newly added departments.

But the cost could not have been so high!

You know, the price they settled with the sales company was less than 10 yuan.

Everyone knew that Liu Chunlai was making money on the garment factory.

Now that's not that big of a profit?

"Ours isn't that high either, is it?" Hiram Minghong was in disbelief.

Both are managers.

We don't normally account for costs, but once we sum up the monthly income and expenses, and then average them out, it comes out.

It's definitely not that high.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

Liu Chunlai tapped his knuckles on the table with his fingers.

Then he said to the outside, "Come in."

Everyone looked at the black hole doorway.

Liu Zhiqiang and Yang Xiaole walked in from the outside.

"This son of a bitch, I haven't seen him for a few months, but he looks like a human being!"

Looking at the two men in suits, ties, and mousse hair combed back, ants crawling on them would probably have to skid, Liu Zhishu cursed under his breath.

The previous Liu Zhiqiang, any time a tattered old military uniform it!

"These two, everyone should not be a stranger. Zhiqiang is in charge of various affairs in the mountain city, raw materials, etc. At the same time, he is also in charge of various connection issues over there; Yang Xiaole is in charge of the market, and he was the one who first copied our clothing before ......".

Liu Chunlai motioned for the two to sit down and talk.

Next to him, two seats were reserved.

At first, no one expected anyone to be absent.

In charge of everything in Mountain City, even if you are not sure about anything, you have Liu Chunlai's instructions.

There are many things to do in Mountain City, and even some that are transported from Peng County have to be transferred in Mountain City.

I've been dealing with all the relevant departments, and I've had to deal with all kinds of things.

It's far from being the same situation as before in the village.

The feeling is even more like a cadre than Liu Chunlai's captain.

"As a result of the previous few years, a large backlog of jute around the credit union, although the purchase, the price is pressed very low, the jute planting scale continues to shrink; each supply and marketing agency inventory of jute, many can make clothing, in order to deal with the backlog, in the previous was used to produce sacks ...... this year, according to the southwest jute planting, even if all of our acquisition, the output of a province, but also not enough to supply our needs ...... transfer from the provinces, transportation costs ......."

Liu Zhiqiang was not polite.

Directly stated the situation.

In earlier years, the scale of cultivation of jute has been reduced.

Thanks to the increase in cotton production and the use of synthetic fiber materials in the garment industry, jute, a material with little comfort, has rarely become a raw material for clothing.

The biggest use is for making sacks.

The province of Basho is very large.

However, a large area is a snowy region where the climate is not suitable for jute growth.

Likewise, jute production requires months of soaking in water after peeling the bark, so that the outer bark runs down and rots, and eventually the supply and marketing agency only accepts fine jute; more importantly, the fertile land has to be used to grow food ......

It turns out that yields in a province are not very high.

In the absence of market demand, farmers would not plant.

"Wasn't there a big backlog at various supply and marketing agencies before?" Zhu Mingyu looked at Liu Zhiqiang.

Liu Zhiqiang didn't say this before.

"It is true that there are quite a few. But for several years the supply and marketing agency's purchase point did not receive much jute, before the major hemp spinning mills, in order to produce convenience, preferred to use top-grade materials ...... "Liu Zhiqiang said with a calm face.

Before he learned of the situation, he approached Liu Chunlai several times.

The reason they are where they are today is that they started with work clothes made of hemp.

Now, even though he knew the difference between hemp and denim, Liu Chunlai didn't say anything.

The only solution was to raise the purchase price and use the profit to stimulate the farmers' motivation to plant.

But that can't be done in a short time.

Costs would definitely go up!

Transferring from out of town becomes more expensive due to poor shipping conditions!

"In the market, because our new clothes sell well, many garment manufacturers directly copy our products. If you've been to the clothing market, it should be clear that basically the styles are the ones we designed ......."

Yang Xiaole also spoke up.

He had looked at Yang Yi several times before, but Yang Yi ignored him.

For Yang Xiaole, Yang Yi has a grievance.

At any rate, the relationship was also very strong in the past, and it is not possible to reveal such things to yourself in advance, knowing that you are in Peng County, it is okay to meet.

In the beginning, if he knew that Yang Xiaole and Liu Zhiqiang were coming back secretly, Yang Yi could not have come here without any preparation.

Now well, up to now, Liu Chun's purpose of coming is not clear.

"Before, we designed several styles that didn't sell much, but we produced at least more than five thousand sets of each ......"

No one said another word.

Everything that they hadn't thought about.

"I know that people think that the cost is only the raw materials, wages and so on ......" Liu Chunlai sighed.

This is the difference between a state-run factory and a private factory.

It used to be a planned economy, and everything was done to accomplish the planned tasks.

The cost?

Not many people even think about it.

After all, profit and all that, that's something only the blood-sucking capitalists of the capitalist world would mention.

"Every month, we need to pay contracting fees; we need to pay taxes on every garment produced; the salaries of executives, etc., also need to be included in the costs ......"

Liu Chunlai looked at the crowd and spoke out very slowly.

Yang Yi felt that Liu Chunlai's purpose was hidden.

But for a moment, he was still not very sure.
