Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Because they have seen the power of fire, they are extremely cautious about any fire that occurs in the factory. Seeing that the employees spontaneously pay attention to fire hazards, Su Chen is very satisfied and nods in recognition of their serious attitude. After a chat with a section officer, the atmosphere is harmonious.

As time went on, the clerk realized that it was already evening, and he stood up and said goodbye to Su Chen: "Then I'll go back first and deal with the ** procurement matters." He was still thinking about the experiments that his superiors had asked him to conduct.

Since the clerk was going to work, Su Chen naturally couldn't stop him. So Su Chen watched the clerk leave, thought for a moment, and called Assistant Zhang to arrange the next step. "Please notify all the section supervisors responsible for the production and assembly of fire ** to come to the meeting. We must formulate a detailed capacity adjustment plan."

Previously, the progress of fire extinguisher manufacturing in the factory was not ideal. Suddenly, we received a commission from a customer demanding 100,000 pieces. Although we did not have to deliver all of them immediately, it was really stressful.

More importantly, if we consider that various places will gradually adopt this new equipment, it means that market demand will increase rapidly in the future, and it is particularly important to prepare for it in advance.

Soon, the two fire fighting equipment section supervisors were summoned to the conference room. Su Chen first asked, "How long does it take us to make a set of fire fighting equipment now?"

After exchanging glances, they responded, “If we run the shop in high-intensity mode, we can produce about ten units a day.”

You know, this kind of fire-fighting equipment is different from ordinary commodities. To strictly meet safety standards requires a delicate operation process. Even if the employees in the factory are experienced, its process requires strict precision, which means that even experienced people cannot significantly speed up this work.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately pointed out that the current production pace could not keep up with the order demand: "This rate is not efficient enough. If we want to complete the task of 100,000 sets, we must speed up the production chain."

Under the current situation, only more than 20 devices can be produced every day. It is simply a fantasy to meet the demand for 100,000 sets. Therefore, Su Chen thought about it and suggested changing to a three-shift system to try to increase output. "For now, let's continue to use the two-shift system. What if we switch to a three-shift system? Will it help improve efficiency?"

Assistant Zhang immediately agreed that it was indeed feasible, and added that the implementation of a three-shift system could theoretically further increase productivity. "Theoretically, if a three-shift system is implemented, up to 15 sets of fire extinguishers can be produced in a day," said another production section manager.

According to calculations, the two-shift workshop can deliver 30 sets a day with this strategy. However, there is still a big gap from the final target, which makes Su Chen feel quite difficult - after all, the buyer who urgently needs the product also decided to order this batch of goods because he wanted to use it as soon as possible.

If Su Chen's production efficiency cannot be improved in time, the orders from big dog manufacturers will probably be cancelled.

After thinking about this, Su Chen decided: "Assistant Zhang, we now need to start a second employee recruitment plan to expand our production capacity."

The current production line capacity is far from enough to meet the demand; in particular, the speed of producing fire-fighting equipment is even more stretched, so there is an urgent need to increase the overall capacity of the factory to ensure on-time delivery.

Faced with this situation, Su Chen proposed adding several new production lines to meet the demand for sufficient firefighting equipment. "Social recruitment is already in the plan, but there are not enough applicants," Assistant Zhang replied.

Although Assistant Zhang added that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had recruited a number of unemployed workers, many of them did not meet the basic requirements set by Su Chen, so not all of them could be hired.

"Well, this matter is still left to you to take full responsibility," Su Chen continued, "Any workshop that can significantly increase output and increase the production of more fire-fighting equipment will receive my bonus encouragement."

The most important thing at this stage is to complete this batch of urgent orders first, so Su Chen will not hesitate at all when it comes to bonuses. After hearing what Su Chen said, the two workshop directors felt encouraged and confident.

A workshop director assured: "Please rest assured, Director, we will work hard to improve the efficiency of the production line..."

Then, Su Chen signaled the two workshop directors to leave first. He hoped that only Assistant Zhang would know what happened next. Although Assistant Zhang wanted to leave, Su Chen stopped him.

Su Chen said, "Assistant Zhang, you have to use the reputation of the steel mill to purchase a few properties for accommodation purposes, and the name on the property certificate should be mine."

Although a little bit skeptical about the proposal, the assistant agreed and pointed out that this was actually a normal operation. Although it was purchased in the name of the factory, you are our person in charge, so the factory property should belong to you.

Suchen did not respond further to this point of view, but insisted on using the name of the steel mill to purchase the house and eventually have the property registered under his name.

Soon after the agreement was reached, he sent Assistant Zhang to carry out the task.

After arranging all this, after a brief moment of thinking, he told the driver to go to the education department of Sijiu City.

Because Sijiu is part of the capital, its education resources department has a strong voice. He hopes to gain support from here.

After arriving at the municipal education department, Suchen waited at the entrance for the security guard to hand over his visitor card to the leader and told him that the representative of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Suchen, wished to meet and talk.

The security guard looked at the business card given by Su Chen and nodded.

The sentry also knew Su Chen's name. After all, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was currently well-known in Beijing. Upon seeing Su Chen's business card, the sentry saluted him and said, "Please wait a moment. I will go inside to report." Soon, the sentry informed the director of the situation.

The director of the Ministry of Education was very puzzled, wondering why Su Chen came to see him. After all, this was the Ministry of Education, not the industrial sector, and it had nothing to do with the steel mill, so he was quite surprised. However, because Su Chen was so famous, the director still instructed the sentry to invite him into the building. Su Chen was led by the sentry directly to the director's office.

After opening the office door, Su Chen saw a well-dressed middle-aged man sitting behind a desk. The director stood up immediately upon seeing him and asked enthusiastically, "Director Su, what can I do for you?"

The director of the Ministry of Education had certainly heard a lot of stories about Suchen, not only that he was an outstanding entrepreneur, but also that he had heard a lot of gossip about his other background, such as that he might be a relative of a high-ranking general or an illegitimate child. After seeing him in person, the director thought that this was all groundless, and wondered how a military leader's family could have such a handsome illegitimate child.

Su Chen greeted the director: "Hello, Director! Today I want to ask you to help gather the heads of academic affairs of all the key universities and colleges in Beijing."

When the director heard this request, he looked at Su Chen in confusion and asked, "What is the purpose of this?"

Su Chen replied: "There are some things I hope to get their help with, related to graduate employment."

Although Su Chen's statement was a bit vague, the attitude of the director of education immediately became serious when he mentioned the graduates. Su Chen did not reveal more details immediately. After all, his ideas were somewhat innovative. If he elaborated with the director at this time, he might not get support. It would be better to wait until everyone gathered together, then it might be better to propose it.

Hearing Su Chen's words, the director nodded and said, "Okay, I'll notify everyone to come now."

Since colleges and universities began to expand enrollment, how to solve the problem of students' employment difficulties has always been a major challenge in the education sector. These students represent the country's intellectual elite; if their job assignments are not handled properly, it will be a serious blow to their morale. Every tree of knowledge is invaluable, but there are very few jobs available in the market.

For students from key universities, the situation is relatively optimistic. Many units or companies are still willing to accept them, and some companies are even scrambling to absorb this group of outstanding talents. Although the number of admissions has increased rapidly, the quality of this group of students is still very excellent.

No one is willing to let go of such top-notch talents. Therefore, the more competitive employment opportunities in the society are almost all in the pockets of these key university students.

As for some other positions, college graduates seem to be in an awkward position - neither valued nor welcomed. For this reason, the director of the education department has long been worried.

Since universities have expanded their enrollment, it was thought that so many new college students would be able to fill jobs in society. However, the fact is that these companies do not want to recruit college students who lack experience or are just average students.

Today, the result of the university's expansion of enrollment is that students have not received social training in advance, and have developed a more student-like atmosphere on campus, and many of their abilities still need to be honed in a practical environment. However, these companies are not philanthropists, and coupled with the current poor social economy and the arrival of a wave of layoffs, they are even more hesitant to hire university graduates.

When selecting new employees, many companies tend to recruit laid-off workers who have been eliminated by other companies. For example, Su Chen did it in social recruitment activities before. Faced with many laid-off workers, many jobs have not fully absorbed them; in this case, how can fresh college graduates find jobs?

Although there is a level of university college at this stage, it is actually consistent with the later junior college education; however, junior colleges were not established at that time, and they only gradually developed after 1999. Therefore, the current concept of "university college" is actually equivalent to the later "junior college".
