Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Foreign trade business? Two hundred million in revenue? Are you sure?"

Zheng Yifan widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Wenhao in disbelief. The haze in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

You know, other projects cannot be implemented in Dingzhou due to various reasons, but if the water heater industry can be made bigger and stronger, it will definitely be an excellent solution!

However, achieving the 200 million yuan revenue target is no easy task. The existing factory scale and production capacity in Ping'an County are clearly far from sufficient to meet this demand.

Therefore, it is necessary to further expand the scale of production. This move will not only create a large number of jobs, but also bring considerable revenue to the local finances.

More importantly, as Zheng Yifan had expected before, there was only one state-owned enterprise in the entire Dingzhou City that could reach such a large scale.

If Hengyuan Electronics can go all out in this field and continue to grow and develop, it is very likely to surpass that state-owned enterprise and become Dingzhou City's leading large-scale manufacturing enterprise!

Thinking of this, Zheng Yifan couldn't help but feel overwhelmed...

"That's right, it's the foreign trade business!" Zhao Wenhao nodded confidently and said, "At this stage, our company's production capacity is indeed a bit insufficient.

Even if we only supply the domestic market, it will be difficult to fully satisfy it. Therefore, I plan to first make full use of the existing production capacity to ensure that we can fill the huge appetite of the domestic market.

Once this area is settled, we will expand outwards and enter the international market."

The reason why Zhao Wenhao dared to say such words was not because he wanted to fool Zheng Yifan or speak nonsense.

Because in the home appliance industry, internationalization has become an unstoppable trend.

It’s a pity that their company has only been established for 10 months, and many links and systems are not yet mature and complete.

When it comes to running a business, you still have to proceed steadily and cautiously, and move forward with a spirit of hard work.

After all, there is no shortcut in the world that can easily help people overcome all obstacles.

In terms of production capacity, wouldn't Zhao Wenhao have wanted to increase monthly output to 10 units in one go? However, the reality was harsh: due to a lack of skilled workers, this was simply a pipe dream!

Not only that, from a management perspective, the management model of a factory with 1000 employees belongs to one level, but if it is expanded to 2000 or even 3000 employees, the required management system will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Faced with these difficulties, we can only solve them one by one step by step.

In this regard, Zhao Wenhao had no intention of hiding anything. Instead, he chose to be honest and told Zheng Yifan the truth.

This way, Zheng Yifan can avoid becoming suspicious and mistakenly thinking that he has other ideas.

"Mr. Zhao, if your company is really in urgent need of technical talents, I can lend you a hand." Zheng Yifan said excitedly with a look of joy on his face, perhaps because he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Zhao Wenhao's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that Zheng Yifan wanted to assign people to his own company?

However, no matter what, we have to give Zheng Yifan face!

Even if the other party really wants to stuff some straw bags in, you can only grit your teeth and take it.

At worst, I can just support them. As long as I can get closer to Zheng Yifan, at least things will be much more stable here in Dingzhou at this stage.

"The talent recommended by Mayor Zheng is absolutely excellent!" Zhao Wenhao did not hesitate and immediately started to flatter him.

A subtle smile flashed across Zheng Yifan's eyes, and he jokingly said, "Why, you don't think I'm trying to force someone into your company, do you? Haha, don't let me get carried away. I just wanted to explain the situation to you. As for who to choose and who to employ, it's up to you."

Hearing this, Zhao Wenhao suddenly felt embarrassed as if his secrets had been exposed on the spot. He quickly put on an awkward smile to hide his inner uneasiness.

Zheng Yifan did not keep the secret, but explained the whole thing to Zhao Wenhao directly.

Back then, when Zhao Wenhao founded Hengyuan Electronics, he chose Ping'an County Instrument Factory as its factory site.

The Ping'an County Instrument Factory is a branch of the Dingzhou Instrument Factory.

Due to many reasons including poor management, the company has been in a state of loss for a long time and is unable to maintain normal operations.

In fact, it is not only the Ping'an County Instrument Factory that is facing such a difficult situation. Similar instrument factories in other counties are also struggling.

Faced with this grim situation, the city made a resolute decision after careful consideration: to transfer all the instrument factories belonging to counties and districts across the city to Dingzhou for management.

After such adjustments, on the one hand, some of the original employees of each county and district were transferred to other relevant units;

On the other hand, a considerable number of people have chosen to retire internally.

However, even after taking the above measures to ease the pressure, the integrated Dingzhou Instrument Factory was still overwhelmed.

After all, the sudden recruitment of employees from six subordinate counties and districts made the already overcrowded factory even more bloated. There were very few people actually doing the work, and the entire factory was completely caught in a vicious circle of overstaffing and underemployment.

In addition to factors such as outdated equipment and insufficient funds, the Dingzhou Instrument Factory is now also facing huge difficulties and basically relies on financial subsidies to survive.

This was like a huge black hole, devouring Dingzhou's finances and putting Zheng Yifan in a difficult position.

And today, Zhao Wenhao happened to talk about the talents needed for the company's development.

Dingzhou Instrument Factory was not short of talent; even the lowest-level workers were skilled. Technical talent was even more abundant. After all, with engineers from the six subordinate counties, how could there be a shortage of personnel?

Therefore, Zheng Yifan wondered whether Hengyuan Electronics could conduct additional recruitment for Dingzhou Instrument Factory.

After all, the instrument factory is now running at a loss and can only rely on government funding to survive.

I believe that the recruitment of Hengyuan Electronics, a well-known company, will definitely attract the attention of many people.

One is spending more than income, the other is thriving. Even though Dingzhou Instrument Factory is a state-owned enterprise, I believe many people will still make this choice.

After listening to Zheng Yifan's introduction, Zhao Wenhao suddenly felt like someone brought him a pillow just as he was about to go to sleep.

For him, this was just like a design, whatever was missing would come right away.

If possible, Zhao Wenhao even had the urge to acquire the instrument factory directly.

Of course, it is not very realistic at the moment.

The plan for institutional reform will not be proposed for at least several years, and the Dingzhou Municipal Government does not dare to actually sell the instrument factory.

"Mayor Zheng, I have no problem with this." Zhao Wenhao agreed without pretense. "We can arrange the corresponding recruitment soon. But there are some tasks in the factory that require your help."
