Chapter 1087: Visit the factory

Having a grand and decent office building is very necessary for doing business or cooperating with local forces. Luxury is not only for enjoyment, but also to show your strength to others. ([] )

Yi Zizhuo didn't know that Zhou Feihuo was thinking about domestic affairs. He just excitedly introduced the factory he opened here: "Mr. Zhou, in my mind, a more grand headquarters building will be built there. I can show you the blueprint. According to a German engineering designer from Berlin, our headquarters building is definitely the best even in Germany. After it is built, you have to cut the ribbon!"

Yi Zizhuo pointed to a depression that was still under construction. The excavator just transported by the sea had replaced the black laborers. The huge steel claws made the natives stunned.

Zhou Feihuo also likes this mechanized beauty of the industrial era. He followed Yi Zizhuo to the second floor of the office.

The waiter brought the tea and waited to sit down. Zhou Feihuo thought, "According to the domestic manufacturing development theory, if you want to completely get rid of small workshop-style production, you must not only have an external good image, but also an internal advanced management system. Only with an advanced management concept can you have efficient productivity."

Zhou Feihuo and Yi Zizhuo actually had the same idea, that is, to establish their ** kingdom in the chaotic Africa, of course, they would not openly establish the country, at least not in the early days.

Don’t forget that there are many Western white immigrants in Africa that have built up cities in Africa. China used to be too late. Now it is unwilling to let the people down.

Yi Zizhuo personally made tea for Zhou Feihuo and said, "Mr. Zhou said very well. If the scale of our reclamation group is not large, modern advanced management methods are not very important. However, if our foundation wants to grow rapidly, we must use advanced management experience. I also feel deeply about this."

The above name is that the reclamation team is now operating Malindi under the name of Qingzhu Chemical. Because the Deus government collapsed, the Volunteer Army's reason is not feasible.

The scale is not very large now, and Yi Zizhuo did not plan to spread the stall too large now to avoid chaos in the future. He also used extensive management, but only used piece-based production to control black labor.

However, Yizizhuo had a plan. When the third batch of domestic immigrants arrived, they would form a balance with the indigenous people of Malindi in terms of population, and introduce standard labor methods and labor quotas into Malindi.

This business management concept originated from the United States, and there is a book called "The Principles of Scientific Management". Yi Zizhuo and Zhou Feihuo have read it, so they are not unfamiliar with it. According to the concept of management and the successful experience of Qingzhu Chemical Group's management, Yi Zizhuo has roughly come up with a management system suitable for use in Malindi.

However, it is still constantly improving. If you don’t manage the theory, you must always study, correct and supplement it in practice to improve it day by day.

For example, Yizizhuo now purchases the materials of each factory by the procurement department under the General Office of the Reclamation Group. This not only reduces the procurement costs, but also allows the establishment of a technical research department with the help of the research institute, making the Reclamation Group pay more attention to opening and using new technologies.

No matter where you are, innovation is the top priority for running a business. Yizizhuo did not give up on the research and development of technology just because he was in a poor and backward Africa.

Since he was sensible at the age of fourteen, Yi Zizhuo, the heir to Qingzhu Chemical, has always wanted to manage his family business. However, since he graduated from college, his father has not agreed, but asked him to go to some small domestic workshop companies to find jobs.

The production management methods of domestic family businesses and small workshops make it impossible for Yi Zizhuo to realize his ideals. However, it is precisely because of the difference that Yi Zizhuo was able to see the difference between the two production models and understand his father's good intentions.

And now, Yizizhuo can finally show his strengths in Malindi, how can he not be excited?

Therefore, when talking about modern company operations and management and Malindi's urban operation and construction, Yi Zizhuo was inexplicably excited and kept pulling Zhou Feihuo to visit.

Zhou Feihuo was also happy to watch the other party show off. Many times, listening is also a good way to deal with others.

The management system developed by Yi Zizhuo himself is quite rough in the eyes of real management experts, and there is still a big gap in the systematic and scientific management concepts of academic circles.

But in practical applications, what Yi Zizhuo thought of was enough, which would allow him to stand on the same starting line as the world's large companies in management, and the rest was nothing more than continuous deepening and perfecting in the practice of business activities.

In Zhou Feihuo's opinion, a thick book of "Principles of Scientific Management" is completely enough as long as you really use some of the key points.

Only practice can test whether the theory is effective and applicable.

Although Zhou Feihuo is very clear that if more advanced management concepts are applied to Malindi's urban management and construction, the place will become more vibrant and vibrant, Zhou Feihuo also understands that hasteness will not be achieved.

Today, Malindi, including the Xincheng District, has a total population of more than 35,000, of which only more than 1,000 are Chinese, accounting for one-thirty-fifth of the total population.

The rest are black people who can't even write their own names. It's a joke that you want to use complex management regulations to restrain them.

They probably can’t even memorize the content, so how can they abide by it?

After listening to Yi Zizhuo's introduction to the relevant situation of Xincheng Industrial Development Plant, Zhou Feihuo proposed to go to various factories to see it. This is actually to give Yi Zizhuo more opportunities to show off, so it is considered to be his best choice.

In this Malindi New City industrial development factory area, there is currently only one small meat food processing factory, a textile factory, a cloth printing and dyeing factory and a silk reeling factory.

There is also an open space used to build an oil refinery, but the foundation was not even dug, and the third batch of domestic immigrants arrived. At that time, there would be an engineering construction team.

The refinery is Yi Zizhuo's lifeblood and the core industry of the Yi family. Even if the factory construction is built, it cannot be careless.

Except for the refinery, several other factories only occupy a very small area.

According to Yizizhuo, this is mainly because he believes that the expected scale of canned meat, grey cloth, fur imitation and color cloth is already large enough, and these products will now account for more than 60% of the share in Kenya.

If the scale continues to expand, it will only lead to vicious competition with some Western companies. In order to survive, the companies in the industry can only seize the market by constantly selling at a price, which will lead to marginal benefits and will not be of any benefit to the growth of commercial profits.

What's more, there is not much money for local people in East Africa to consume, and the market capacity here is very small.

Therefore, Yi Zizhuo thought more about refining oil and selling it back to the domestic market. This is the activity of making a lot of money. After controlling energy, it controls the economic lifeline of a city or even a country. It can even affect international politics.

Therefore, Yizizhuo does not intend to make light industry too big, mainly for early development and recycle some profits.

Although there are still some refining chemical equipment that has not arrived, Yizizhuo has planned the factory land in advance for them. Once it is put into production, it will definitely control the refined oil market in the entire northern Africa.

However, what made Yi Zizhuo the most happy was the construction of the pharmaceutical factory. With Gao Dongyun's help, Yi Zizhuo took over a pharmaceutical factory in Mombasa.

Gao Dongyun is also very happy about this matter. He uses the company's assets to please the future big boss, which is a good deal for this kind of thing.

The current production of Western and Chinese patent medicines by the pharmaceutical factory in Mombasa has been in full swing. However, because Kenya is fighting, all kinds of drugs on the market are in short supply, so there is still plenty of profit margin reserved.

Not only are various Western medicines used for anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and anesthesia sold well, but even Chinese patent medicines that use traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern medical processing technology are in short supply.

The price of Western medicine sold by Yizizhuo is only 80% of similar imported drugs in Europe and the United States, so the supply is naturally in short supply. But even so, the profit is still more than three times.

Qingzhu Pharmaceutical Group is not well-managed in China, but it turns losses into profits in Africa. Yi Zizhuo doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh. However, because of the help of Qingzhu Pharmaceutical Group’s East Africa Branch and Gao Dongyun, many things are going smoother than originally expected.

The reason why Chinese patent medicines are selling well is mainly because they are in Africa. Western medicine is still too expensive for black indigenous people, and they are even sold on the black market in units of tablets.

Drugs like morphine and amine yellow are sold directly as gold. Even so, you may not be able to buy them if you want to.

However, the Chinese patent medicines sold by Qingzhu Pharmaceutical Group are different. Not only are the efficacy very good, but most of the prices are only one-third of that of Western medicine. The current orders have been scheduled to the end of next year.

The production of Chinese patent medicines is also a medicine developed based on the knowledge of some local African herbal medicines and the medicinal properties of some local African herbal medicines.

The local materials are obtained and the pharmaceutical factory purchases them directly from local people at a low price, so the cost is naturally low. Moreover, because the processing is simple, the process is few, the efficacy is good, and there are basically no side effects, it is very popular among local residents.

The key is that many local people live by pharmaceutical factories and support Qingzhu Pharmaceutical Group's Chinese patent medicines. Yi Zizhuo also promotes this way, hoping that more people will come to Malindi to work and live.

Mombasa Pharmaceutical Factory's profit has exceeded one million Huayuan in the first month of this year, but because Chinese patent medicines are subject to raw materials, the output has not been able to continue to expand.

At this point, traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to compare with Western medicine because it cannot be copied infinitely.

However, according to Gao Dongyun's oral statement, he has now sent people to various parts of East Africa to widely purchase native African Chinese herbal medicines. In addition, he is also planning to acquire land around Nairobi specifically for growing Chinese herbal medicines with high demand.

The new equipment for producing Western medicine has been ordered from Tianyu Group and will arrive in two months. The profit of Mombasa Pharmaceutical Factory is conservatively estimated to exceed 1.4 million next year.

Originally, Mombasa Pharmaceutical Factory mainly provided pharmaceutical supplies to the Chinese federal garrison stationed in Mombasa, but unexpectedly, it has become Yi Zizhuo's profitable owner and a hen that is truly able to lay golden eggs.

The largest area is Qingzhu Chemical Group's future large-scale chemical factory area. Although it is called a factory area, it should actually be called a "chemical city".

Qingzhu Chemical Group is the application chemical industry. Of course, Yi Zizhuo would not look at his own special skills, so he put the construction of the chemical industry to the end.

In the chemical industry, the most important thing is the production of precision electronic components. This high-tech industry also means high added value.

The electronics factories that are about to start construction will include electronic tube factories, electronic components factories, air conditioning factories, refrigerator factories, and radio factories. According to needs, Yizizhuo plans to build one or several precision electronic instrument factories in the future.

Of course, the application of chemical industry is not only the production of electronic components, but also more content, such as pesticides and fertilizers related to agricultural development, special materials related to other industries, materials, nylon, coal liquefaction projects, pharmaceutical raw materials, daily chemicals, and other chemical raw materials, dyes, etc.

Because the chemical industry contains many projects, most of the land reserved for this planned land reserved by Yizizhuo is left to the large chemical industrial park in the future.

Most of the factories here are still under construction, and it will take at least three years to complete, but some important factories will be completed in three months. After the New Year, the third batch of immigrants will arrive. At that time, the equipment can be installed and used immediately as soon as it arrives.

Under the leadership of Yi Zizhuo, Zhou Feihuo visited several factory workshops that started construction.

In the production workshop, he saw that the workers were working in an orderly manner in their respective positions, not only did they not walk around casually, but also had no time to chat and laugh.

In each workshop, there are only one or two people inspecting and inspecting. Judging from the expressions of the workers, they are very conscious and proactive in their work.

Yi Zizhuo told Zhou Feihuo that after several factories were built, the organizational scale was also expanding, and the number of people recruited was increased. However, the number of people increased was recruited from refugees from all over the country.

Yi Zizhuo is not planning to recruit formal factory workers from the locals for the time being, mainly because the refugees left their original hometown and the organization is also planned to be reorganized for easy management. There will be no too much trouble.

But it’s hard to say that the locals are, God knows whether they will cause trouble.

In the long run, Yi Zizhuo wants to gain a true foothold in Malindi and it is not possible to not recruit a large number of locals. This will make the locals always regard our reclamation group as an outsider.

But Yizizhuo also understood that at this stage, the core industry like the factory cannot recruit Malindi's indigenous people.

The reason is also very simple. There are too many refugees coming to Malindi with the reclamation team. They are under great pressure on Malindi's order and food and other daily necessities. If these people are not given a job that can support themselves, then the relief and disaster relief alone is a huge expense. Yi Zizhuo is not stupid, so why do such a stupid thing?

What's more, there is no difference in treatment, and when planning in the future, how can these locals actively participate?

Yi Zizhuo wants everyone to understand that the first day of return will be more beneficial.

Yi Zizhuo did this to allow those immigrants who came empty-handed to have a job and income in Malindi. Then these immigrants and their families would have hope and guarantee in their lives, and they would naturally have a good impression and dependence on the reclamation group. This kind of affection is exactly what Yi Zizhuo needs very much now.

A good reputation means strong appeal and cohesion, and can get support from others.

However, many families without middle-aged men and women with children need to open these light industrial factories under the Reclamation Group to provide suitable jobs, such as textile workers.

Children can be sent to the school run by Yizizhuo, which also saves the worries of these black parents and allows them to work with peace of mind.

Therefore, at least before the third batch of Chinese immigrants arrived, Yi Zizhuo did not plan to recruit local Malindi people to work in factories with better wages and benefits. Only temporary construction sites will provide them with a physical job.

The best part is that Yizizhuo only provides basic Chinese teaching among the 10,000 black immigrants, and does not provide the same free Chinese education to the locals.

However, many books introducing agricultural technology were written in Chinese, and the locals couldn't understand it, so they had to secretly ask foreign immigrants to teach. After a while, the friendly exchanges between the two sides began privately.

Moreover, because of this, immigrants who did not study hard began to cherish the opportunity to learn Chinese every night. In their eyes, this is an amazing "privilege" and it is also a capital to show off.

This unexpected gain made Yi Zizhuo laugh endlessly.

After watching for a whole morning, Yi Zizhuo took Zhou Feihuo to the Chinese restaurant cafeteria for dinner. He said it was a canteen, but it was actually a special canteen for Chinese immigrants. Black people who were not qualified cannot enter. It is not discrimination, but a difference in treatment specifications.

The dishes in the Chinese cafeteria are made according to Chinese preferences, but many of the ingredients are local African ingredients, and they taste unique.

The afternoon is Zhou Feihuo's free time to move around, and Yi Zizhuo also has his own business to do, so he couldn't continue to accompany him.

After lunch and before I could rest, Yi Zizhuo had to go to Zhu Haoke again and inspect the current operating status of several factories.

During the inspection, Yi Zizhuo asked about the raw materials and sales issues of several factories with concern, especially whether the sales of products have squeezed the living space of other Kenyan manufacturers.

Zhu Hao is worthy of being a smart butler. As soon as Yi Zizhuo asked, he could immediately answer in detail, "In addition to Qingzhu Pharmaceutical Group, Kenya also has several small pharmaceutical factories and cement factories opened by Chinese people, but there are no electronics and chemical companies."

Zhu Hao knew that Yi Zizhuo was not afraid of squeezing out the companies opened by foreigners, but rather squeezing out the companies and factories opened by Chinese businessmen in East Africa. Everyone is Chinese and travels thousands of miles to foreign lands. Yi Zizhuo is not such a despicable person and will not drive away his compatriots. (To be continued...)
