"As far as the business environment is concerned, Malaysia still needs to be more open." Watanabe said bluntly.

Lin Jiye, with a tone of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction, then asked, "Since Chinese factories are not as good as ours in everything, then why did Xizhi Electric choose a Chinese factory?"

"Mr. Lin, as far as I know, the reason why Xizhi's board of directors chose the Chinese factory is mainly because the production efficiency of the Chinese factory is higher!" Watanabe replied.

"You said that the production efficiency of Chinese factories is higher than ours? How is this possible! I don't believe it! Every aspect of Chinese factories is not as good as my factory, why should they have higher production efficiency!" Lin Jiye replied immediately.

In Lin Jiye's mind, how can China, with its backward productivity, compare to his own factory in terms of production efficiency? You must know that his factory uses Japanese management methods.

But Watanabe Xiong said: "Mr. Lin, whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. Do you still remember that when I visited your factory, I left you an order for that batch of electric irons?"

"Of course, it only took us forty days to complete this batch of orders. Looking at the whole of Malaysia, and even the whole of Southeast Asia, no one can do it faster than us! I think even if we let Japanese companies do it,

, they won’t be faster than us!” Lin Jiye said confidently.

On the opposite side, Watanabe Yui let out a long sigh and said: "I gave the same batch of orders to the Chinese factory, and they only completed it in fourteen days!"

"We want forty days of work, but they only want fourteen days? This is impossible! Unless the workers in China are all robots, they don't need to eat or sleep, they just work!" Lin Jiye said angrily.

"Mr. Lin, of course Chinese workers are not robots. They also need to eat and sleep! But apart from eating and sleeping, they spend all the rest of their time working."

When Watanabe said this, he sighed helplessly and continued: "The inspector I sent to the Chinese factory is a famous workaholic at Nishizhi Electric. He works overtime every day, but after he experienced overtime in the Chinese factory,

I still need to see a psychiatrist!

The overtime work of Chinese workers is terrible, they can work fourteen hours a day! If it were Malaysian workers, would they be willing to work overtime?"

"We workers in Malaysia..." Lin Jiye was half-sentenced when he was speechless.

Lin Jiye knew that if Malaysian workers were asked to work overtime, they would dare to simply skip work and quit!

The Chinese may be more diligent, but the Malays will find a place to drink beer and chat as long as they earn enough food for the day. Typically, they don’t want to eat the next meal after one meal.

For Malays, they will not work overtime for 1.5 times the salary, and 2 times the salary on weekends and 3 times the salary on statutory holidays are not that attractive.

The cultural atmosphere in Southeast Asia as a whole is like this. They are unmotivated, very happy-go-lucky, and have no high pursuits in life. Just make a little money and it will be enough.

For Southeast Asians, who would go to work if they weren't hungry? Wouldn't it be better to lie at home and bask in the sun?

…

Several cars drove into the yard of the electric furnace factory, and a brand-new Santana got out of the car. A man in his early fifties got out. This man was tall and thin, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked like a high school student.

teacher.

In a car behind, several leaders from Dongcheng District got out of the car and gathered around the man.

Li Weidong immediately greeted him, and Xu Zhilong introduced him: "Leader, this is Factory Director Li Weidong!"

"Hello, leader, I am Li Weidong. Welcome to our factory to inspect our work!" Li Weidong said, shaking hands with the man in his fifties.

This man's name is Chen Chuanxin, who is the newly transferred deputy mayor and is in charge of the city's industry. Chen Chuanxin has a bachelor's degree, and it was not obtained through continuing education. He is considered the most highly educated person in the city's leadership team.

Li Weidong successfully took over the foundry of Xizhi Electric Appliances. This is undoubtedly a big success for a poor place like Qinghe. Of course, the city leaders must come to inspect it in person.

Li Weidong also knew that Chen Chuanxin was not the end. There would definitely be many leaders coming to inspect, not only from the city, but also from the province when they came to Qinghe.

Chen Chuanxin shook hands with Li Weidong and said in Mandarin: "I have long heard that Director Li is young and promising. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true!"

"As expected of an intellectual who has gone to university and can speak Mandarin!" Li Weidong thought to himself.

In the 1990s, in 18th-tier cities like Qinghe, Mandarin could only be heard on television or radio. Even the announcers at train stations or bus stations spoke dialects.

The steps for receiving leaders have been prepared in advance. First go to the conference room to listen to the report, then go to the workshop for an on-site inspection, and then go back to the conference room to summarize, let the leader give a speech, and put forward some symbolic opinions.

and suggestions, and then a few words of encouragement, and it’s over.

Li Weidong has already prepared the content of the report, which is nothing more than making the process of winning the Xizhi Electrical Appliances OEM factory more complicated and difficult to highlight how difficult it is for him.

As the saying goes, if there are difficulties, exaggerate them; if there are no difficulties, make them up, and then exaggerate them some more. This is probably what it looks like.

If you make things too simple, your boss will think that even cats and dogs can do it, so it is definitely not a very important matter, and they will not take you seriously in the future.

Next, Li Weidong accompanied Chen Chuanxin to visit the production workshop.

Looking at the workers on the assembly line, Chen Chuanxin couldn't help but sigh: "Director Li, the workers here are all uniformly dressed. Nowadays, many large state-owned enterprises cannot do this!"

"Leader, what we adopt is militarized management! This uniform dress is only part of the militarized management. Xizhi Electric also chose us as the foundry because of our militarized management." Li Weidong said, adding what

It is a brief introduction to military management.

Chen Chuanxin seemed to be very interested in militarized management. After learning about the contents of militarized management, he went to visit the canteen and dormitories.

After that, everyone returned to the conference room. According to the process, it was the leader's turn to give a summary.

Chen Chuanxin did not make a concluding speech immediately, but asked: "Director Li, as far as I know, OEM factories often need more workers. I think your factory does not have many workers, less than one

Thousands, if we want to expand production scale in the future, we should still need to recruit workers, right?"

"Yes, Xizhi Electric's small home appliance orders will not be transferred all at once. This is a process of several years. This also gives our factory a buffer time, during which we can expand in a planned way.

Expand production." Li Weidong replied.

"Director Li, I am here to make a request to your factory." Chen Chuanxin paused and then said: "In the future, when your factory recruits workers, don't just focus on the villages under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Town.

, you can recruit workers from the entire Dongcheng District, and even our entire Qinghe City!"

"What does the leader mean by asking me to recruit workers in other counties?" Li Weidong asked.

Chen Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, especially those agricultural counties. We still have six national-level poverty-stricken counties, as well as many impoverished towns and villages, with a large number of rural surplus labor! They are also very hard-working and very suitable for factory work!"

Li Weidong nodded in sudden realization.
Chapter completed!
