Because the wages promised by Changda Company were higher than those of other rubber companies, when Da Liu and other old classmates resigned from their original units, they also brought over forty or fifty experienced employees with operational experience. These more than fifty employees from other companies

The old employees poached by the rubber company have become the production backbone of Changda Company's new projects.

Before the new project was officially put into production, Guan Yuntian changed the name of Changda Company to Changda Group Company. At the same time, he established a cord fabric branch and a rubber tire branch, and appointed Da Liu as the manager of the rubber tire branch. The workshop director and team leader also started from these companies.

Selected from veteran employees with rich experience in tire production.

During employee training, the technology transfer party discussed with Guan Yuntian and hoped that Liu and veteran employees with operational experience would participate. Although training new employees was the responsibility of the technology transfer party, considering the role of precepts and deeds in the participation of veteran employees, Guan Yuntian would rather have more

For one month's salary, Da Liu and the others should be allowed to enter Changda Company one month in advance.

Sure enough, under the leadership of experienced old employees, the training work was more effective. In only two weeks, 95% of hundreds of new employees who had never been exposed to tire production passed the assessment and obtained employment certificates.

The subsequent equipment debugging and trial production process went smoothly. With the joint efforts of both parties, the new project was officially put into production one month ahead of schedule.

In order to facilitate the training of new employees, Guan Yuntian asked Da Liu and others to intervene one month in advance. It is said that this was to cooperate with Party B's work. Changda Company equivalently paid an extra month's salary for Da Liu and other forty or fifty people. Some people

Think it's not worth it.

Now that it is officially put into production one month ahead of schedule, the benefits generated by this kind of project in one month are beyond the comparison of a mere salary of 1 or 200,000 yuan!

The experience brought by Da Liu and others has enabled Changda Tire Branch to avoid many detours in both production and sales. Da Liu also introduced a relative of his who was an area business manager in the sales department of the original tire factory to Changda

Group, this manager Xiao He became the sales manager of the tire branch of Changda Group.

With the completion and commissioning of the tire project, it has in turn promoted the development of the cord fabric business within the group. The market for cord fabric, a highly competitive product, has been saturated in recent years, leaving little room for development.

After the tire project is put into production, a large amount of cord fabric is needed as an auxiliary material for tire manufacturing. This not only expands the scope of the company's internal cord fabric production and sales, but also reduces the cost of tire production. After all, it belongs to the same company, and the total raw materials required are less than

It is much cheaper to buy in the market, which in turn provides a cost and price advantage for tire sales.

This kind of upstream and downstream relationship between raw materials and products is rare in the same industry.

After the first phase of the project was put into production, the automobile industry was listed as a national pillar industry, which was also a major benefit to the supporting tire industry!

Half a year later, Changda Group Tire Branch launched the second and third phases of the project one after another. Within a year and a half, it reached an annual production scale of 600,000 semi-steel and all-steel radial tires for vehicles.

, this scale is at the upper-middle level in the same industry in China.

After the project was completed and put into production, Guan Yuntian communicated with relevant experts from the Provincial Rubber Design Institute. The other party believed that the tire industry must reach an annual output of one million tires to be considered a relatively reasonable economic scale.

In less than two years, the production scale reached 600,000. Even in Fuyuan County, the hometown of tires, this speed and scale are praised by people. Guan Yuntian is also somewhat complacent. However, experts

Guan Yuntian's opinion suddenly made him sober. He asked his good friend and rubber tire expert Li Changjin for the opinions of the Provincial Rubber Design Institute. Lao Li's views were almost completely consistent with those of the experts from the design institute.

Without reaching a reasonable economic scale, it is of course impossible to achieve optimal economic benefits. Guan Yuntian can make his own judgment without asking experts.

"So, do you think it is necessary for Changda Group to increase its scale to one million?" Guan Yuntian asked Li Changjin.

"Mr. Guan, the economic scale of one million is calculated theoretically. In fact, few companies follow this statement. You must know that the tire manufacturing industry is a high-energy-consuming industry. If the production scale reaches one million, the annual consumption

The amount of electricity will be astronomical, and without a self-owned power plant, the local power supply bureau may not support you." Li Changjin said about the problems faced by continued expansion of production.

"Oh, electricity is a problem. It may not be easy to bring your own power plant. You are right to remind me." Guan Yuntian said to himself.

After talking to Li Changjin, Guan Yuntian knew that things were not simple, but he had no intention of giving up. "If we fail to reach an economic scale, it will be the same as watching the loss of benefits!" Guan Yuntian would not accept such a thing anyway.

Will turn a blind eye.

When they met with friends from the county association again, the two directors were impressed by the high efficiency of Changda Company. “I didn’t expect you to build all three phases of the project in less than two years. You know, Fuyuan County

It usually takes three or four years for other tire companies to reach an annual output of four to five million yuan." Lao Sun, the head of the Associated Press, praised.

"Reporting to the leader, the project of Changda Group has caught up with the good times. The automobile industry is now a pillar industry of the country, and the tire industry has also ushered in the spring of industry development. Under such a good situation, how dare Yuntian have any reason to slack off.

"If you don't hurry up and work, I'm sorry to everyone!" Guan Yuntian joked.

"That's right. Yuntian has always been good at seizing opportunities. If you encounter such a good opportunity, with your personality, of course you will not let it go." Deputy Director of the Associated Press Lao Chang and Guan Yuntian are very good friends. They

Very understanding between each other.

"Both leaders, please don't put your hat on me. Without your support, I can't accomplish anything."

Guan Yuntian incidentally mentioned relevant experts' suggestions on the optimal economic scale and also mentioned the matter of self-owned power plants.

"Why, isn't the current annual output of 600,000 big enough?" Lao Sun asked.

"There are no regulations on scale. Experts have proved through theoretical calculations and practice that the optimal economic scale is an annual output of one million."

"We are laymen and don't understand what the optimal manager size means." Lao Chang said.

"The so-called optimal economic scale means that the production, management, water, electricity, steam and other factors of the enterprise are in the best ratio. During the production process of the enterprise, all production factors exert their best performance. In this case, the product's

The production cost is the lowest. According to experts' calculations, if the economy of scale is optimal, the production cost of each tire will be 10% lower than now." Guan Yuntian explained.

"From what you say, do you still want to continue to expand production?" Lao Chang knew Guan Yuntian's work style.

"What is the concept of reducing costs by 10% on the current basis? If I am not moved, then I am lying in front of the leader. But..." Guan Yuntian stopped talking, as if he had something to hide.

"Yuntian, you want to say that expansion of production requires funds, right?" Lao Chang said what Guan Yuntian couldn't say.

"Not only does it require funds to expand production, but according to an industry expert and a friend of mine, if the scale reaches one million and the power consumption is huge, it may be difficult for the county power supply bureau to agree to supporting facilities, and the company may need to build its own

If the power plant is like this, the funds needed to build a self-contained power plant may be more than the funds needed to expand the project itself." This factor is also the reason why Guan Yuntian found it difficult to talk about it in front of the two leaders of the Associated Press.

"Oh, if we really want to implement this step, we need a lot of funds! Yuntian, we are friends, so I will open the window and speak frankly, and even expand the project and build a self-owned power plant. With the strength of the county association, we may

It cannot meet your financial needs. After all, the county association cannot support just one unit of Changda Company, right?"

Although Lao Sun's words are not very pleasant, they are not wrong at all. Originally, the county federation shoulders the important task of supporting the urban and rural economic construction of the county. It is impossible to lend a lot of funds to Changda Company. Doing so does not matter.

Whether it is due to risk control considerations or the requirement for financial institutions to shoulder social responsibilities, it is both non-compliant.

Through their interactions over the past few years, Guan Yuntian has become good buddies with not only Lao Chang, the deputy director of the Associated Press, but also Lao Sun, the top leader, and he has no taboos about talking in front of them.

After thinking about it, Guan Yuntian bit the bullet and said: "But the temptation to expand production is too great! After listening to the experts' suggestions, I also made calculations. Not counting the original profit, it only reduces the profit after reaching the economic scale.

This cost, that is, the extra profit due to cost reduction, can be used to recover the capital invested in expanding production and self-owned power plants with interest within five to ten years. If there is no support from financial institutions,

I can only watch helplessly as this huge chunk of profit drains away from me.”

Lao Sun lowered his head and thought for a while. He suddenly looked up at Guan Yuntian, "For such a big matter, it is unrealistic to rely solely on the county federation. Yuntian, have you still had contact with President Liu of the Agricultural Bank of China in the past two years?"

"President Liu----, after you recommended him to me the year before last, I visited him several times. In the past year, due to busy business, I rarely visited him."

"Oh----, if you want to expand production, I suggest you visit President Liu of the Agricultural Bank of China." This was Lao Sun's suggestion.

"Well, it's time to visit him. You two leaders can come with me."

Of course Guan Yuntian knew the truth that "it is up to the individual to be led by the master to practice", but if he wanted to visit Mr. Liu, he should invite the recommender to go with him as a matter of etiquette. As for whether they were willing to follow him or not, that was their own business.

"If you go to Lao Liu to do something, we won't follow you." Lao Chang pushed the matter aside.

When dealing with President Liu of the Agricultural Bank of China, it is common to eat and drink, and judging from the situation at the wine shop, this old Liu does not seem to be very keen on drinking. After several contacts, Guan Yuntian feels that Old Liu is a more refined person.

Zhong, it is said that he was recommended to go to university in the 1970s. Anyway, he studied for a few days.

After contacting him in advance, he learned that Lao Liu was at his work and prepared some gifts. Guan Yuntian went straight to Lao Liu's office at the Agricultural Bank of China. They were already acquaintances. After a few words of greeting, Lao Liu personally made Guan Yuntian a cup of tea.

"President Liu, are there no meetings today? I hope I didn't disturb you." Knowing that this kind of unit often holds meetings, Guan Yuntian had nothing to say.
Chapter completed!
