I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 78 No worries about finding people to use it
Guan Changsheng, who was still quite "domineering" in Jiangning, got into his Audi A6 amidst the respectful gazes of his employees. Actually, he wanted a Mercedes, but his boss said he wasn't worthy of it yet...

The "domineering" General Manager Guan arrived at Zhang'an Food Processing Plant in Shazhou City four hours later. It was a "small factory" near the bonded zone that only sold candy, but it had been a bit busy lately.

On the main road outside the factory gate, a long line of people came to apply for jobs. Even though the temperature was as high as 40 degrees Celsius today, many people still came in groups to give it a try.

Guan Changsheng was a very observant person; he noticed many small details.

People maintaining order would occasionally ride a tricycle to deliver water. Inside the tricycle, the three water dispensers' bottles of purified water were almost empty. The security guard riding the tricycle immediately said into his walkie-talkie, "Brother Bo, Brother Bo, I'm almost out of water here."

"A-Gui has passed."

"Received, Brother Bo."

Because the sun was indeed quite strong, the factory brought in a sunshade. Retractable sunshades are not common in most workplaces, but they were available here. However, the text on the sunshade was an advertisement for "Zhang An Education".

Many migrant workers, in groups of three or five, carried large and small bags and dragged a suitcase with wheels, and from time to time they had to stand on tiptoe and crane their necks to see the queue in front of them.

"Old Wang, stop over here for a moment."

"Yes, Mr. Guan."

The driver turned on his lights, made a U-turn, and stopped on the opposite side of the road.

After Guan Changsheng got out of the car, he casually walked around and looked around. He estimated that the queue was more than a hundred meters long. But after walking for a while, he saw that there was a bend in the long gate and was immediately shocked. It was more than a hundred meters long, probably more than three hundred meters!

So he patted his pockets, took out a pack of cigarettes, and saw a few men with weathered faces squatting down smoking. He walked over with a smile, offering them cigarettes as he asked, "Master, there are so many people applying for jobs at this factory. What do they do?"

"Selling candy!"

The middle-aged man, speaking with a Sichuan accent, accepted Guan Changsheng's cigarette somewhat embarrassedly. "Thank you."

He didn't draw it directly, but held it in his hand, waiting to start a conversation with Guan Changsheng.

Sure enough, when Guan Changsheng continued to ask questions, he put the cigarette that had been given to him behind his ear.

"How good is this treatment that so many people have come?"

"Hey, to be honest, it's really good!"

When answering Guan Changsheng's question, the middle-aged man stretched out his cracked hand and started counting on his fingers, "First of all, what does it say? It includes food and lodging, right?"

"Well, yes."

"Secondly, the salary is good. The base salary is 1,800 yuan, and you get quite a bit after taking it in. It's not bad, is it?"

"Eighteen thousand? That's a really high price?!"

Guan Changsheng was shocked. Even the best factories in the surrounding bonded zone only made around a thousand yuan, and those that stood out were barely worth anything. This was foreign-invested.

The hardware factories in the surrounding riverside town all produce items around 800 or 900 yuan. If you want more than 1,000 yuan, it's impossible to work in eight hours, and you also have to consider production output.

A base salary of 1,800 is double the base salary, which is quite astonishing.

What's scary isn't the salary, but the fact that it's easy to offend all the bosses around you.

It was only then that Guan Changsheng realized his boss was still too young, truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.

However, upon seeing dozens of young men in security uniforms from Xindongwei Port Middle School, he realized that this calf must weigh over 10,000 jin (approximately 5,000 kg).

"And another thing, listen to my fellow villager, they only work eight hours a day, and it's not hot. They have water, air conditioning or something, so it's not hot. That's better than working on a construction site, right?"

"That's true, working on a construction site is unbearable under those conditions."

"Finally, this boss looks like someone important. I've been here for so many days, and government cars are coming and going every day. He must be a big boss; his business must be in constant flux. When you're working for someone, it's always good to have a long-term job..."

"Of course, nobody wants to work for days with nothing to do. If there's nothing to do, they won't get paid." "That's right."

"Thank you, sir. Here, there are a few cigarettes left in this pack. Don't mind them, come on..."

With a grin, Guan Changsheng slapped the remaining cigarette into the other man's hand, then waved to the driver, Lao Wang. Lao Wang immediately nodded, locked the car, and jogged over.

"Did you bring the bag?"

"I'm carrying it."

Old Wang picked up his briefcase and showed it to Guan Changsheng, then asked, "Mr. Guan, are you staying in Shazhou tonight? If so, I'll book a hotel in advance."

"No need, the boss will take care of it."

"it is good."

Zhang Da'an was indeed at the factory at the moment. He had just finished a recruitment speech and rushed over to the factory.

The main problem is that the factory currently only has managers, not factory directors. Management requires the cooperation of workshop directors and team leaders, but since it is a new factory, the cooperation is not quite there yet. Maintaining production is not a problem, but dealing with conflicts is a bit difficult.

Currently, Zhang Da'an himself is leading people to quell the work conflicts between superiors and subordinates. In addition, because the new production line will be put into operation on National Day, the factory's reserve land has been gradually put into operation. The total investment is officially 18 million, but in reality, Zhang Da'an has prepared more than 37 million.

The gummy candy market is currently at an all-time low; without a compelling product, it's impossible to create a blockbuster.

Zhang Da'an uses his genuine reputation as a top scholar to transform into brand power. As for product power... as long as the gummy candy isn't made into "Oli Gei," it's just a candy.

As for the flavor, it just so happens that Shazhou City is very close to Taihu Light Industry University in Taihu City. Almost all the giants in the food industry in the Yangtze River Delta region are alumni of this school, and many of the cadres in the local food management department of Shazhou City are also graduates of this school.

Therefore, unlike in other provinces where finding a specialized engineer is very troublesome, in the food industry, Zhang Da'an only needs to show respect.

The current R&D director in charge of product development at Zhang An Food Factory is an associate professor whom Zhang Da'an poached from Taihu University of Light Industry. He is quite capable in candy flavor research, but in the past, he did commissioned R&D and earned only ten thousand yuan per project. Now it's different. Of the more than 37 million yuan that Zhang Da'an has put out, 10 million yuan is for building a professional laboratory for the product R&D department.

In order to get the "bursting juice gummies" developed, Zhang Da'an would always make time to visit and comfort Yu Chide, the director of the product development department, no matter how busy he was.

Yuchi De, whose hometown is Hedong Province, readily followed Zhang Da'an. In addition to having the laboratory equipment as complete as possible, he was offered an annual salary of 300,000 yuan. After three years, he would be entitled to stock options, and if he did not complete three years, he would receive additional product profit dividends.

To put it simply, even if Yuchi De doesn't have an annual salary of a million yet, he'll be close. Moreover, Zhang Da'an didn't restrict the "Zhang An Education" lecturers from keeping their salaries confidential like he did. After receiving the A6 assigned to him, Yuchi De immediately took his wife and children for a drive by Taihu Lake.

He desperately needs this.

"Mr. Zhang, I have someone in mind for the design of the new production line. He is from the School of Light Industry and Machinery and is very capable in automation. However, he has a bit of a temper and often gets into arguments with the leaders."

"How tall? How heavy?"

"what?"

Yu Chi De looked bewildered. "Uh... 1.76 meters tall? 150 or 160 kilograms?"

"He can't beat me, so call him over."

"..."

Tuk Tuk.

Just as Yu Chide was wondering if he had misheard, there was a knock on the door, and then a masked messenger said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Guan has arrived."

"Okay, tell him to wait a moment, I'll be right there."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Da'an casually tossed aside the experimental logbook and said, "You recommended people to me, and Guan Changsheng also recommended people to me. Everyone in the world says there's no talent, so how come I have so many capable people here?"
