September 30th, Friday, the last workday before the National Day holiday.
"Thank you, Director Li. It's too much trouble for you to specially send someone to deliver it. A phone call would have been enough, I could have picked it up myself."
"Haha, no problem. Serving the park's enterprises is our duty. Boss Tan, if you have any needs later, you can directly tell me. We will definitely provide good service for anything we can do."
"Alright, alright. I'm sure I'll have more things to bother you with in the future."
"Of course. Well, I won't disturb Boss Tan's work for today. Come over for tea when you're free."
"No problem, goodbye Director Li."
Li Ke couldn't help but smile after hanging up the phone.
This young man was indeed very polite.
He was just a small leader in the park's property management, yet he spoke so courteously.
The reason he acted so actively was because that day he saw this young man being led over by Zhao Jinsheng.
He knew Zhao Jinsheng.
An boss who could have Secretary Zhao accompany him throughout, and so young at that, it was always right to have a proactive service attitude.
Perhaps it could also lead to a good connection in the future.
Today, Tan Jincheng obtained two new business licenses, for Jinyi Industry and Shanchi Vehicle Co., Ltd. Jinyi Industry had no changes except for the change in registered address, while Shanchi Vehicle Co., Ltd. underwent more significant changes.
First, the registered capital was increased from the previous 10 million yuan to 20 million yuan.
Second, Tan Jincheng changed the name from Shanchi Vehicle Co., Ltd. to Shanchi Technology Co., Ltd.
In the future, Shanchi will have battery and even motor businesses, so using the name "Vehicle Industry" again would be somewhat inappropriate.
They decided to get it done right this time, seizing the opportunity.
Changing a company's registered address and name is actually a very troublesome matter, involving laws and regulations, taxation, and other aspects.
In addition, after a company changes its name, its trademarks must also submit change applications.
However, the many preferential policies in the Free Trade Zone make it worthwhile.
Let it be troublesome; it's rare to have such an opportunity.
"Contact the trademark registration department. Make sure to submit the relevant change applications as soon as possible before 5 PM today, otherwise the holiday will delay it for another week."
"Understood, Boss."
"Gather the management from all departments for a meeting in the large conference room at 10 AM."
"I'll go arrange it now."
A flicker of surprise passed through Zhang Xuhui's eyes.
After being with the company for so long, although various departments would hold joint coordination meetings, the boss himself had never actively requested a meeting.
Even when the boss needed to be present, he would only sit discreetly at the end.
The image of a company boss sitting at the head of the table in the middle of the conference room, dictating policy, had never appeared in his memory.
Today, he actually took the initiative to convene a meeting for all departmental management.
This was the first time since he joined the company.
It seemed there was some major decision to be made.
It seemed the boss didn't particularly like meetings?
Zhang Xuhui was right.
As a manufacturing enterprise, Tan Jincheng didn't believe that holding so many meetings would be effective.
Controlling the procurement process, finalizing designs, producing products on time, and marketing them to the market would suffice.
A factory with too many daily meetings is either huge in scale or average in efficiency.
For a small factory like Shanchi with about 200 people, what's the point of meetings?
Tan Jincheng wished he could spend all 30 days of the month on production.
As for things like the IOS system and 5S management, although these were introduced in a perfunctory manner, they were currently just for show, merely to make the company's official website profile look better.
In reality, for a factory of around 200 people, management doesn't need to be so strict.
Setting clear targets for department heads is enough.
You just need to manage a few key people and let them manage their subordinates, which makes things very easy.
Take the production department, for example.
Tan Jincheng's task for the production department was a minimum of 7,000 qualified electric scooters leaving the factory each month.
This was a rigid target.
If it wasn't met, Wang Guoxin's performance bonus would be docked.
If there was a shortage of personnel, they could ask the HR department to supplement staff.
For other needs, other departments could also assist.
If they exceeded 7,000 units, Wang Guoxin himself and the entire workshop would receive a reward.
As for how the workshop's reward would be distributed, Tan Jincheng granted Wang Guoxin the authority to allocate it independently.
He wasn't afraid of favoritism.
Even if Wang Guoxin embezzled all the rewards given to the workshop employees, Tan Jincheng wouldn't care as long as the production targets were met.
If you can make employees exceed production targets without even paying them, that's your skill.
Without granting a certain degree of autonomy, how could one manage those frontline employees? Naturally, Tan Jincheng couldn't give Wang Guoxin full control over personnel, but he could provide a portion of the fund pool, making it easier for him to manage.
For frontline employees, nothing is a more practical incentive than getting paid.
Even an extra 100 or 200 yuan a month would make them very happy.
Before 10 AM, department heads went to the large conference room to wait.
It was the first time the boss had called a full high-level meeting, so there must be something significant.
Among them, Liu Meilin from the finance department probably knew a little.
The company had signed another 3,000-square-meter factory building in the Free Trade Zone, and even the registered address had been changed to the Free Trade Zone.
As a finance officer, she had to complete the change of invoicing information as soon as possible after the holiday, which would also affect the company's normal collections.
At 10 AM, Tan Jincheng appeared in the large conference room punctually.
Zhang Xuhui had also arrived early to prepare for the meeting.
As soon as he entered, Tan Jincheng got straight to the point, without exchanging too many pleasantries with the management.
"First, I want to express my sincere gratitude for all your efforts in helping Shanchi achieve its current success in less than half a year since its establishment. However, we cannot rest on our laurels. Shanchi's future potential is still immense, so all of you must continue to work hard!"
"Not at all, President Tan. It's all thanks to your excellent leadership. We merely did what we were supposed to do."
"Yes, yes. We only did what we were supposed to do. This is already within the scope of our work."
Taking people's money and helping them resolve problems, one shouldn't hesitate when it's time to flatter.
However, these words weren't entirely flattery.
Sun Yuming, Lin Yumin, and Wu Zhenping, among others, felt this most deeply.
Sun Yuming had practically watched this factory grow bit by bit, participating in various matters, big and small, in the early stages.
Lin Yumin and Wu Zhenping, as the two key generals for Shanchi to open up the market, felt even more strongly.
Although they led the teams for specific operations, all the marketing strategies were formulated by President Tan.
From factory construction to production, promotion, and even design, the overall direction was led by President Tan.
All they had to do was execute the tasks assigned by President Tan.
Regarding the company's current achievements, it's not to say they had no part, but another person could have done the same.
"Alright, let's skip the pleasantries. I'll get to the practical matters, everyone, let's get straight to the point."
Tan Jincheng scanned those present and continued,
"For the company to develop, the current factory area is definitely not enough. So I've rented another factory building, with an area of 3,000 square meters, roughly three times the size of our existing factory."
"President Tan, are we planning to expand production capacity?"
Lin Yumin asked with a smile.
"Yes, with our existing retailer system, our production capacity is already falling behind. This month, some retailers have already sold out prematurely, so increasing production capacity is urgent and can't wait any longer."
Sun Yuming also asked with a smile,
"Boss, where is the new factory building located?"
"In the Southern Free Trade Zone. Alright, to build the new factory area, all departments must fully cooperate. First, Brother Sun, you will still be responsible for the equipment installation at the new factory area. You have experience in this. This time, we will be launching six new production lines, striving for a monthly production capacity of 30,000 units."
"Additionally, this time, bring Brother Xuhui along and let him learn as well, alright?"
Sun Yuming nodded and said,
"No problem, but is there a time requirement?"
"As for the timing, it must be ready before December this year. We aim to officially start production after the New Year's Day holiday next year. This task must be completed. Three months should be enough, right?"
"That should be enough then. Don't worry, Boss, I guarantee I will complete the task."
Tan Jincheng nodded and looked at Zhang Xuhui:
"Brother Xuhui, next you'll assist Brother Sun, and learn from him. I'll trouble you if there's anything you need to run errands for or cooperate with."
"No trouble at all, I will learn diligently. Please rest assured, Boss,"
Zhang Xuhui said, delighted.
Finally, he could get involved in practical matters, and working alongside the boss's absolute confidant at that.
It seemed his efforts during this period had finally paid off.
Tan Jincheng then looked at Wang Chao:
"How's the development progress of the Fenchi series in the R&D department? Can we get a sample out before the end of the year?"
Fenchi has currently designed an urban light luxury electric scooter aimed at female consumers.
After its launch, it will be available in milky white, clear blue, and women's favorite pink.
As it follows a light luxury style, the pricing hasn't been finalized yet.
Additionally, they need to find a more high-end endorser; Brother Chun definitely won't do.
However, if they go for a female-oriented route, the pricing can be slightly higher.
This is not only because women are the main consumer group, but also because there's another large consumer group that cannot be ignored: the simps.
The 'simp economy' was all the rage in his previous life.
Simps would eat instant noodles themselves just to buy something for their goddess.
At that time, if they added some soft marketing copy like "If you love her, buy her a pink electric scooter," wouldn't they have it perfectly under control?
Wang Chao pondered for a moment and then said,
"My side is also fine. The design finalization is basically complete. President Tan, you can review it and give your feedback then. If there are no issues, I'll immediately arrange for mold making after the National Day holiday."
"Good. I'll come over to your place to see it after the meeting ends. Additionally, the development progress of electric tricycles also needs to keep up. If there's a shortage of staff, arrange recruitment as soon as possible. Manager Chen can also go to schools to look for talent."
"No problem, I'll arrange everything here. Also, how many workers does President Tan plan to recruit for the new factory?"
"Given the current scale, we'll need around 300 workers. Let's recruit according to the standard of 300 workers. You can arrange it based on Brother Sun's progress."
"Understood."
"The marketing department's promotion progress also needs to be readjusted based on production capacity. Uncle Lin and Uncle Wu, please write up a proposal for me after you go back, alright?"
"No problem,"
Lin Yumin and Wu Zhenping said in unison.
After a series of arrangements, Tan Jincheng waved his hand:
"Alright, Sister Liu, please stay for a moment. Everyone else, you can go back to work."
