Good heavens, so you've come to distribute year-end bonuses. This is truly excellent, but are you sincere?
After all, with so much earned in just four months this year, how much is appropriate for the entire year?
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Wu Shengnan's heart bloomed with joy.
"Young boss Zhang, did you buy this car yourself?"
Zhang Tianxing nodded. What's wrong with Wu Shengnan? Why is her focus on the car? Shouldn't the priority be the year-end bonus?
Wu Shengnan had her own calculations. The boss had only been working for such a short time, yet he was driving a luxury car worth over a million yuan. She, working herself to the bone at the cannery, had only earned five hundred thousand yuan in three months. This was a huge shock to her.
Where did this young boss Zhang get his money? Making money was too easy! Wu Shengnan muttered to herself.
"This way, Sister Shengnan, most of the cans from our cannery are for export. While ensuring exports, I want to increase the development of the domestic market. This requires us to open up a larger market, and it will be a bloody battle."
Wu Shengnan nodded in agreement. Opening up a market sounded simple, but its execution was far from easy.
"Young boss Zhang, I've written a report regarding the domestic sales of canned goods. Please take a look later. There are two plans, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. I'm undecided and would like to ask you to make a decision on how we should proceed next."
Then, Wu Shengnan reported her thoughts.
If she were to develop the channels herself, it would be from scratch, facing local resistance, with large investments and slow returns.
Another option was to find agents at various levels. The advantage was obvious: the channels would be established very quickly. However, the disadvantage was also clear: the bulk of the profit from the canned goods would go to the agents, and the cannery would only earn by the sweat of its brow.
After Wu Shengnan finished speaking, Zhang Tianxing propped his chin with one hand, his brow furrowed. Then, he looked up, seemingly having made up his mind. "Now that our canned goods have a reputation abroad, we'll directly choose agents. This will speed up our distribution. However, there are a few things you need to pay attention to. To become an agent, we need them to pay a deposit and guarantee sales targets. Those who exceed the targets can receive rebates at a certain percentage."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Wu Shengnan's eyes lit up.
Yes, a deposit and sales rebates. How had she never thought of these two points?
No wonder Zhang Tianxing could become a boss while she could only be a mere employee. Indeed, a boss was a boss; their minds were sharp, unlike a small employee like her.
Wu Shengnan was certain that once this sales plan was introduced, countless agents would flock to them.
People had come to purchase goods before, but they were all from nearby areas; there were virtually none from distant places.
According to Zhang Tianxing's idea, the market for Zhang Ji Canned Goods would no longer be limited to a single province or city; its market would be the entire China.
She had originally thought that with the expansion of the factory, the production capacity would be sufficient to meet sales demands.
It seemed she had oversimplified things.
If that were the case, production would have to at least double. It seemed the Zhang Ji Cannery was about to usher in a new round of expansion.
At this moment, the sound of children playing could be heard from afar. Following the sound, Zhang Tianxing saw quite a few children playing in the factory. Zhang Tianxing's brow immediately furrowed.
Seeing Zhang Tianxing's displeased expression, Wu Shengnan quickly explained.
"Young boss Zhang, our employees have many children. Children of this age, not yet old enough for primary school, find kindergarten tuition too high and feel it's unnecessary to spend money on it. So, many of them bring their children to work. I will emphasize to them later that children are not allowed at work during working hours."
Wu Shengnan spoke while watching Zhang Tianxing's expression, trying to gauge his opinion on the matter.
"Young boss Zhang, please don't be angry about this. It's mainly my fault for not enforcing discipline properly." Wu Shengnan was also troubled; these children were a big issue. If they weren't brought to the factory, she worried something might happen to them at home.
Upon arriving at the factory and seeing young boss Zhang's dissatisfaction with this situation.
"How about this, find a place in the factory area to establish a dedicated play area for children, and hire corresponding teachers based on the number of children," Zhang Tianxing said after some thought.
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Wu Shengnan exclaimed in surprise, "Young boss Zhang, that would be wonderful! Employees can focus on production with no worries. However..." Wu Shengnan seemed to have thought of something. "How much will it cost for the employees' children to attend this school? I'm afraid they'll be reluctant to spend money..."
Zhang Tianxing glared. "It's a school within our own factory, why would there be any fees? As long as they meet the attendance requirements, the children attend for free. Meals are extra."
Hearing this news, Wu Shengnan couldn't help but clap her hands. "Boss, you are so good to your employees! On behalf of all employees with children, I express my sincere gratitude to you!" Saying this, she wished she could give Zhang Tianxing a big hug... but she didn't dare. She dismissed the thought.
"No, you've misunderstood. I'm not being good to the employees; it's for our cannery. Only when the children's issues are resolved can the employees work wholeheartedly.
Besides, if something were to happen to a child in the factory, none of us could afford it." Zhang Tianxing didn't give Wu Shengnan a chance to express her gratitude and turned to leave.
A young man, so stubborn, Wu Shengnan quickly followed.
Zhang Tianxing pointed to the land behind the factory area and said, "Buy that land. We need to build dormitories and a preschool for the employees. Let everyone know that working at the cannery means the best welfare benefits, allowing everyone to work here with greater peace of mind."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's plan, Wu Shengnan was mesmerized. She had never imagined this young man could think of things so thoroughly and arrange them so meticulously.
Some people are born geniuses, and Zhang Tianxing was undoubtedly the most brilliant among them.
Wu Shengnan announced the news to everyone, and the cannery employees immediately rejoiced.
"Manager Wu, is this true? We can bring our children to the factory to work and have them tutored by dedicated staff? Is there really such a good thing?"
"Right, do we have to pay to send the children to the factory? Are there any requirements?"
"Manager Wu, my sister wants to come work here. Is the factory still hiring? My sister can work, but she has two small children. The children can already walk, so they won't hinder her work."
"By the way, Manager Wu, regarding the employee dormitories you mentioned, is that for executives or for all staff?"
"What? These welfare benefits are for all staff? Manager Wu, you're not lying to us, are you? We want to see young boss Zhang. We won't believe it until he says it himself."
"Yes, you can't blame us for being suspicious. It's just that we've never heard of such good things before."
"Bosses always squeeze money out of employees. I've never seen a boss who spends money on employees."
Wu Shengnan smiled and relayed the matter to Zhang Tianxing. "Young boss Zhang, everyone now wants to hear from you. Only when you say it will they believe it. It's just that everyone has never encountered such a windfall."
Upon hearing this request, Zhang Tianxing walked out directly and addressed the assembled employees.
"I am Zhang Tianxing, and I am back. What Manager Wu said is true. We will have dormitory buildings and a preschool."
"Seeing some situations, I am heartbroken. Comrades, adults are working in the factory, while a group of children are playing in the factory area. What if something happens? Who will be responsible?"
