Chapter 50 Unable to resist, workers voluntarily work overtime.
Clearly, the two, who had stayed up all night, were unaware that Lin Yuanshan had already arrived.
Limping Rong, holding needle-nose pliers, was intently repairing the sprue on the plastic flower part: "What do you know?"
Ah Fa's original machines had no major problems, but plenty of minor ones. Now that we're making parts, and they're being recast from scrap materials, I definitely need to get them properly tested before we can put them into production.
"Tsk! Do you have to be so serious?" Shinji squinted, dozing off. "Didn't you say that Mr. Lin was going to have these plastic flowers recycled by Yellow River Plastics and sold to Southeast Asia? This kind of inferior goods can be dealt with casually."
Limping Rong scoffed, "You're a professional at fighting, but I'm good at production."
Do you think that making plastic flowers only requires raw materials and labor, and there are no other costs?
There's a severe drought right now. Should we buy water to clean up the waste?
The crusher and the press are not purely manual; they need to be powered, right?
The light-colored waste materials that are picked out are dyed gray or mixed colors, which incurs additional costs.
If the machine isn't properly adjusted, the profit margin will shrink every time a batch is ruined!
"Yuan Shao hired me to help him make money, not to make him lose money."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuanshan's applause came from the side: "You're right, with limited resources, production must be approached with caution."
"Young Master Yuan/Mr. Lin," Ah Rong and Shen Da Hui hurriedly called out.
Lin Yuanshan took the plastic flower from Arong's hand: "You're a professional in production. How long would it take to make half of the 20 tons of material according to this standard?"
After pondering for a while, Limping Rong said in a deep voice, "We have enough manpower now, but not enough beer machines."
Assuming the workers are skilled in production.
If one more machine is added, the factory can produce 1 ton of finished products per day;
With two machines, we can produce 1.5 tons. If everyone is willing to work extra night shifts, we can produce up to 2 tons.
After discussing production efficiency, Bo Rong even listed the production costs: "The two processes of crushing and washing cost 8 yuan per ton; dyeing costs 7 yuan per ton; pressing and assembly cost 10 yuan per ton."
correct!
Far less, these figures already include the workers' wages.
In other words, each ton of finished product requires a processing fee of 25 yuan.
As for employee meals, material handling, finished product loading and unloading, and all sorts of other miscellaneous expenses, it would cost an additional 5 yuan per ton.
To produce 20 tons of finished product, after deducting the cost of raw materials, there will still be a cost of 600 yuan.
After hearing this, Lin Yuanshan stroked his chin. Currently, the price of finished products in the secondary market for Yellow River Plastics exports is 200 yuan per ton.
After negotiating with Xu Neng last time, the Shek Kip Mei branch will buy back the plant at 75% of the market price, which is NT$150 per ton.
20 tons can be sold for HKD 3000, minus HKD 500 for raw materials and HKD 600 for processing.
This deal netted HK$1900, which is considered extremely profitable in an era when the average monthly income for a working-class family is around HK$150.
"Ah Rong, from now on, you teach a couple more people how to use the beer machine. I'll take the samples to see Xu Neng." Lin Yuanshan decisively chose to add more machines, and at the same time looked at Shen Da Hui: "Last night you said there was an old house across the street with 20 tons of waste from the factory piled up, right?"
Shen Da Hui quickly replied, "Yes, yes, that room belongs to the gang's bastard."
"You can discuss it with Wai-zai and say that you'll rent this room from him for 100 yuan a month."
Starting today, all waste sorting, cleaning, and scrap disposal will be moved there.
When the shredder starts up, it will be very noisy, and you'll be responsible for keeping the neighbors in check.
"The factory has limited space, so we'll only put the injection molding machines and assembly tables here for now. That'll do for a while." Lin Yuanshan made the decision on the spot, adjusting the production schedule.
Shen Da Hui waved his hand and said, "Okay! Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely persuade the neighbors to cooperate with us."
However, half of Wai-zai's dilapidated house has collapsed.
Anyway, he doesn't usually live there, so it's just sitting empty. He can use it directly without paying.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the young man who had been talking to Lin Yuanshan outside looked up and smiled, "Yes, Mr. Lin."
Brother Hui and Brother Rong have already given me priority and arranged this position for me.
My dilapidated house has always been empty and uninhabited. The factory needs it; they can use it.
"No way! Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters." Lin Yuanshan's attitude was firm, and his words moved everyone even more: "If the rules are not established early on, the factory can take advantage of the workers today, and the workers can steal from the factory tomorrow."
In the future, interpersonal relationships and affairs will be in complete chaos, making it impossible to know where to begin in order to resolve them.
That's it! Ah Rong, the monthly rent is 100 yuan. Give it to Wai-zai along with your salary.
After saying that, Lin Yuanshan called Tie Tou over, took the samples, and strode out the door.
Half an hour later.
Yellow River Plastics, Shixiawei Branch, Factory Director's Office.
Xu Neng put down the sample that Lin Yuanshan brought and gave a thumbs up: "You resigned from the factory on the 8th, and today is only the 11th, and you have already made a qualified sample."
Ah Yuan, you really are amazing! I knew you were right!
Lin Yuanshan smiled and said, "With Uncle Xu supporting me like this, it doesn't matter if I don't live up to his expectations and embarrass myself."
I'm afraid that if I cause you to be laughed at by your colleagues for misjudging someone, then I would truly be guilty of a heinous crime.
"Haha, Yuan, you have such a silver tongue! Even if you didn't choose to go into manufacturing, you would definitely make a name for yourself in sales or socializing." Xu Neng laughed and stood up, inviting Lin Yuanshan to come over to the sofa for tea.
Lin Yuanshan stopped smiling and shook his head: "Uncle Xu, I'll pass on the tea. I need to rush back to oversee production."
Sigh, now you need a whole beer machine.
"I've roughly calculated that even working day and night in two shifts, it would probably take about 40 days to get these 20 tons out."
20 tons!
Wow, such a short time.
Where did this kid get 20 tons of waste material from?
Xu Neng was taken aback when he heard this. Before Lao Yu went in, he would remove the waste materials accumulated from the previous month on the night of the 1st of every month.
In other words, Lin Yuanshan signed a three-month agreement with the factory.
In the crucial first month, he couldn't get the waste from the Shek Kip Mei plant.
This was the test that Xu Neng had secretly set for Lin Yuanshan.
This shows that Xu Neng and other veterans who are used to management positions are like this.
Even if his mind can't keep up with Li Yicheng's pace right now, his experience and abilities honed over the years in the business world are still quite good.
What if Lin Yuanshan fails to pass the first hurdle?
Some people within Yellow River Plastics are gossiping, and Xu Neng might use this to defend himself.
I wasn't blindly helping a young man; rather, I saw that he was a troublemaker, so I decided to set a trap to send him out.
If it works, I can help the factory deal with the waste problem; if it doesn't, it can at least resolve a potential personnel issue.
But now, Lin Yuanshan has not only passed the first hurdle.
Moreover, his mother even completed the bonus questions on the submitted answer sheet:
In just three days, Yuanshan Plastics has already explored other procurement channels and obtained a total of 20 tons of waste material!
After a moment's thought, Xu Neng immediately knew where this batch of materials came from—He Shun!
Xu Neng decisively stopped Lin Yuanshan and pulled him down to sit with a smile: "Yuanshan, you may not know, but if you work two shifts, the workers can file a complaint against you with the Labor Department."
"No, I never ask for overtime! But I can't resist the workers asking to work overtime." Lin Yuanshan's words were so blunt they could make someone choke: "But Uncle Xu, don't worry."
I won't be stubborn. If things don't look good, I'll slow down production.
Remember, save the waste for me. I'll come and collect it once I've finished producing those 20 tons.
