Chapter 322 Investigating the Food Factory
When the group arrived at the workshop, they saw busy workers everywhere, creating a bustling and vibrant scene.
Qi Tongwei followed behind Zhang Tianfeng and Li Dakang without saying a word, but carefully observed the situation in the workshop.
"Director Niu, is the food factory still operating normally?"
Zhang Tianfeng asked.
Judging from the appearance of the workshop, the food factory's production is not having any problems.
However, this may only be the surface; the actual situation may not be so good.
Otherwise, the food factory wouldn't need to seek support from the county government.
"Secretary Zhang, some workshops have already stopped production!"
Niu Dashan said.
The decline of the food factory was obvious to the naked eye, and there was no point in trying to hide it.
However, we can't portray the situation as too bad, otherwise the county will think the food factory is beyond saving, which would be troublesome.
In that case, the food factory would go bankrupt and be sold to someone else.
"What about sales?"
Zhang Tianfeng continued to ask.
Some workshops have already stopped production, indicating that the food factory's sales are not good.
If sales are good, the workshop should be busy.
"Secretary Zhang, sales are not very good, and there is a lot of unsold inventory."
Niu Dashan said.
If sales were good, the food factory wouldn't be in this situation where it needs the county's help.
"Tell me the specific sales figures!"
Zhang Tianfeng said.
Sales figures can also reflect the condition of a food factory; what he needs to know is the specific sales situation of the food factory.
"Okay, Secretary Zhang..."
Niu Dashan gave a detailed account of the food factory's sales situation.
"Director Niu, your sales are still stuck in the old mindset, still producing according to the plan. No wonder your factory has come to this point."
I already sense that the situation at the food factory is much worse than you described!
Zhang Tianfeng frowned as he spoke.
According to Niu Dashan, the food factory's sales are mainly through supply and marketing cooperatives and some shops that they have cooperated with in the past.
It's no wonder that such a sales approach can't sell the product.
“Secretary Zhang, your criticism is correct. We have also noticed this problem and are trying to find a way to fix it.”
Niu Dashan quickly said.
You have to accept criticism from your superiors.
"County Chief Li, how do you think the food factory should solve its sales problem?"
Zhang Tianfeng looked at Li Dakang and asked.
He knew that Li Dakang didn't want to get involved in the company's affairs, but as the county head, Li Dakang still had to.
Although these companies had not cooperated with him, indirectly leading to the incident of raising funds to build roads.
“Secretary Zhang, mindsets can’t be changed in a day or two. Since these people are no longer competent for sales work, then replace them all!”
Li Dakang said.
Not only the sales staff, but all the leaders of the food factory should be replaced.
Regardless of whether Zhang Tianfeng wanted to save these companies, Li Dakang felt that the person in charge should be replaced.
"Deputy Secretary Qi, what's your opinion?"
Zhang Tianfeng looked at Qi Tongwei, wanting to hear if he had a different answer.
Li Dakang's words were clearly spoken with anger and were not advisable.
"Secretary Zhang, I agree with County Chief Li's opinion!"
If the sales staff at the food factory are not keeping up with the times and are not competent in their sales work, then let people who are keeping up with the times and are competent in their sales work take their place.
With the development of the times, sales methods are no longer singular and require a combination of multiple methods.
My analysis is that the food factory likely has a large backlog of products. They should find a way to quickly clear this inventory before addressing other issues.
Qi Tongwei said.
With so many officials in Jinshan County, they must be able to find someone who can solve the problems of enterprises.
Without destruction, there can be no construction. For these enterprises in Jinshan County, those that can be saved should have their management completely replaced.
"Deputy County Head Ji, what's your opinion?"
Zhang Tianfeng looked at Ji Xinqin and asked.
As the deputy county head in charge of enterprises, Ji Xinqin needs to know how to solve the problems faced by enterprises.
After all, he still needs to do the main work.
"Secretary Zhang, I agree with County Head Li and Deputy County Head Qi's opinions!"
Ji Xinqin said.
He couldn't afford to offend Li Dakang. Although Qi Tongwei offered a solution, he also supported Li Dakang's opinion, so he had no choice but to support theirs.
Because he had no better solution.
Niu Dashan felt a sudden stiffness as he listened to Li Dakang, Qi Tongwei, and Ji Xinqin's words.
He didn't expect Li Dakang to be so vengeful. Just because the county raised funds to repair the road and the food factory didn't receive much money, he wanted to replace him.
Qi Tongwei actually gave in to Li Dakang, and now he's in danger.
"County Chief Li, Deputy County Chief Qi, the comrades at the food factory are still able to accept new things and change their thinking in a timely manner."
Niu Dashan quickly said.
If we don't explain this soon, the county might have to completely overhaul the food factory.
At that point, he probably won't be able to keep his job as factory manager.
"Let's discuss the company's personnel issues later; let's understand the situation first!"
Zhang Tianfeng said.
The situation was about to become awkward, and he had to maintain the atmosphere.
Otherwise, this visit to the food factory might not have yielded the desired results.
They came to the food factory to understand the situation, identify the problems, and then study solutions.
Next, some people toured every workshop in the food factory, and then went to check out the warehouse, sales department, and finance department.
Then, some people went to check out several shops that were jointly operated by the supply and marketing cooperative and the food factory.
The situation is more serious than Niu Dashan described.
The food factory has a huge inventory, and at the current sales rate, it's impossible to sell it all.
If we keep putting it off, a lot of things will go to waste because they'll expire.
Few people buy the goods displayed at the supply and marketing cooperative, and few people go into the cooperative shops either.
More importantly, many food factory workers reported that the factories had been in arrears with their wages for a long time.
The food factory also has a lot of debt.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianfeng felt very heavy-hearted.
The situation was worse than he had imagined, and it was not easy to resolve.
No wonder Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei didn't want to get involved.
Based on the food factory's situation, it is not far from bankruptcy and closure.
After inspecting the food factory, the day was over, and Zhang Tianfeng told Niu Dashan to go back.
Back in the county government compound, Zhang Tianfeng called Li Dakang, Qi Tongwei, Ji Xinqin, Kuang Wenfeng, Zhu Youguo, and others to the county party committee's small conference room.
"Everyone has seen the situation at the food factory; it has reached a point where it must be addressed."
Let's all share our opinions on how to solve the problems at the food factory!
Zhang Tianfeng looked at everyone and said.
"Secretary Zhang, my opinion is to replace the current leaders of the food factory."
Let capable people take the lead and guide the food factory out of its predicament and back to profitability.
It has been proven that the existing leadership of the food factory is severely inadequate; entrusting the factory to them would only disappoint the expectations of the Party and the government.
Li Dakang said.
He still held the same opinion he had when he was at the food factory: replace him.
"I also prefer to change personnel and then quickly resolve the food factory's inventory so that the food factory can recover some funds for technological improvements and upgrades."
Regarding how to reduce inventory, my idea is to lower prices and promote sales, with everyone involved in sales.
Give the food factory workers a certain commission and let them all go out and sell products.
Then, a shareholding reform was carried out, with the government and workers jointly investing money to buy shares in the food factory, and then upgrading equipment and technology to improve products.
Expand sales channels and no longer rely primarily on supply and marketing cooperatives; instead, sell directly to shop owners.
In addition, arrange for someone to investigate the food factory to prevent anyone from embezzling funds.
Of course, the food factory also needs to be relocated; we can't let it hinder the development of the county.
To facilitate the relocation of the food factory, the industrial park needs to allocate a specific area for them.
In other words, similar types of businesses are grouped together to prevent different types of businesses from influencing each other.
Qi Tongwei said.
