The next day.

Liu Xiaoduo arrived at the Skyworth Bao'an factory early and stood at the door of the factory with Skyworth CEO Zhang Xuebing and other Skyworth managers. After waiting for almost an hour, a black Panamera finally arrived.

Zhang Xuebing recognized it at a glance. This was Mr. Li's car, but why did Mr. Xia get out of the passenger seat?

Although there were too many questions in his mind, Zhang Xuebing could only pretend to know nothing at the moment and did not dare to ask more questions. He led the senior executives beside him to greet him with smiles on his face.

Liu Xiaoduo's main eyes were focused on Li Ying, and she found that the latter was a little different today. As for why she was different, she couldn't tell.

But when she thought about how Mr. Xia didn't return to the hotel all night last night and took Li Ying's car to the factory today, she understood everything.

Li Ying noticed Liu Xiaoduo's gaze and smiled at her, which made Liu Xiaoduo a little embarrassed and had to look down at her toes.

The group of people entered the factory together without exchanging pleasantries for too long.

Skyworth TV and even the entire Fuxing Smart Home Group are somewhat different from other business groups of the parent group.

Terminal products such as Fuxing mobile phones and DJI drones are almost all produced through the OEM model and do not have their own factories and workers.

While Fuxing Smart Home Group acquired several major home appliance brands, it also took over dozens of production factories and nearly 100,000 workers in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and some inland areas.

Among them, Skyworth Light has more than 20,000 workers.

After inspecting Skyworth's production factory in Bao'an, Xia Jingxing had a rough idea.

“The number of front-line production workers is too huge, which reflects many problems of Fuxing Zhijia.

First, the production line is not intelligent enough, and the factory building still has a lot of room for upgrading and transformation.

Second, the excessive number of workers increases the salary burden, thereby reducing the already low profit margins of home appliance companies, and also adds obstacles to the transformation of companies into high-end manufacturing.

Third, Fuxing Smart Home's business has not formed deep synergy with the parent group, and it still looks like a low-end manufacturing company.

fourth……"

Xia Jingxing made various remarks, and Zhang Xuebing and other senior executives looked at each other in shock.

Zhang Xuebing bravely asked: "Mr. Xia, do you mean to introduce high-end production lines and streamline the number of workers?"

Xia Jingxing shook his head slightly, "There are nearly 100,000 workers under Fuxing Zhijia, and there are 100,000 families behind them. Direct layoffs would be too reckless and irresponsible.

I just mentioned one point, which is to form in-depth business synergy with the parent group. "

Zhang Xuebing thought about it for a moment and then he understood, and asked: "Give us the OEM orders for terminal products such as mobile phones and drones?"

Xia Jingxing stopped and turned to look at Zhang Xuebing and the others.

"Can you promise to do it well?"

Hearing that Xia Jingxing really meant this, Zhang Xuebing was immediately happy and replied: "Mr. Xia, compared to TV assembly, mobile phone assembly is actually not that difficult.

If you give the order to Skyworth, we guarantee that it will not be worse than Futukang and BYD. "

Xia Jingxing said nothing and seemed to be deep in thought.

In fact, Xia Jingxing instantly recalled what happened to Skyworth in his previous life. After divesting some of its core assets, it opened up its home appliance OEM capabilities to the outside world. Rice chain smart home appliances such as Rice and Yunmi have become important customers of Skyworth.

This is a typical case where brand development is not strong and the company can only rely on OEM to earn some hard-earned money.

Xia Jingxing once considered spinning off all of Fuxing Zhijia's home appliance production business and focusing on technology research and development and brand building.

In this case, Fuxing Zhijia's operating model is lighter and looks more technological. At least the proportion of technical R\u0026D personnel seems to be very high, dozens of percent.

But then he thought about it and realized that this was actually just a kind of packaging marketing.

A home appliance company with 100,000 people, a scientific research team of 10,000 people, and 90,000 front-line production workers, doesn’t it have any technological content?

The so-called asset-light operation is actually a manifestation of capital's pursuit of profit, and all links that can be outsourced are outsourced.

He has no special opinion on this. The situation of each company is different and cannot be treated as the same.

Is Fuxing Semiconductor's entire chip industry chain necessarily better than Broadcom and Qualcomm, which only focus on the design process?

The key depends on whether it is suitable or not.

But then again, it is a pity that nearly 100,000 production workers and dozens of factories only produce home appliances.

How to turn this seemingly low-end business into a high-end business while at the same time fitting in with the group's grand strategy of developing high-end manufacturing has become an urgent problem to be solved.

"This matter has been put on hold for now and will be decided after further study and discussion by the board of directors,"

Xia Jingxing did not give a definite answer, which made Zhang Xuebing a little disappointed.

However, he has not completely lost confidence. After all, Mr. Xia's attitude just now has said everything. The good news will not go to outsiders!

After inspecting all the production lines, it was already noon. Xia Jingxing simply stayed in the factory to have lunch and see how the food in the factory cafeteria was.

As a result, such a scene appeared in Skyworth’s factory cafeteria!

A young man who was more handsome than Daniel Wu and had a haircut like Chow Yun-fat led two white-collar beauties in professional skirts to inspect the dining window of the cafeteria one by one, followed by a bunch of factory leaders.

The eyes of the young people who were queuing up to get food were all wide-eyed. Someone recognized Xia Jingxing and immediately took out the Fuxing FX2 mobile phone he had saved up for half a year to buy. He started filming Xia Jingxing and the three of them wildly.

The girls were basically filming Xia Jingxing because it was their first time seeing their boss in real life, and he looked like the male protagonist from an idol drama.

The boys were taking pictures of Li Ying. As a CEO, she often appeared in the factory. Most of the employees recognized her. She was also the goddess of home appliances in everyone's mind. Many people felt that she was more suitable to endorse home appliance brands than Ms. Dong.

Xia Jingxing and Li Ying also noticed the movement around them. After briefly looking at the food in the cafeteria, they each took a portion of food on their plates and sat down to eat.

To be honest, the food in the factory is a bit poor, especially compared to the canteen at the headquarters in Beijing.

However, Xia Jingxing still didn't dislike it and sat on the long dining table in the cafeteria and started eating honestly.

Sitting next to him were many senior managers who had endured hardships with him.

Xia Jingxing noticed that many senior executives were "counting the rice with chopsticks", and it seemed that they were not used to this kind of food.

"You don't usually eat in the factory cafeteria, right?"

After listening to Xia Jingxing's words, many people lowered their heads and began to eat their food.

Xia Jingxing actually didn't mean to blame anyone, but the executive himself seemed guilty.

"I don't mean anything else when I say this. We studied hard for more than ten years to get into college, and worked hard for many years before we reached our current position. We receive high salaries and eat well. This is the meaning of our freedom and struggle. .

However, management is an art. I wonder if you have studied the topic of "the connection between meal standards, employee work enthusiasm, and employees' sense of belonging to the company." "

Xia Jingxing had a faint smile on his lips. He agreed with the principle that the company's operating level is linked to employee salary levels and meal standards.

If the company itself has difficulties in running its own operations, it is impossible to provide employees with plenty of food and fish every day, right?

However, Skyworth's operation is not difficult at all, and the employee meal standards are indeed a bit too low.

If we further expand the scope to Fuxing Industrial, will this standard be at the level of China's largest private technology group? The layout is smaller!

That’s not how you save money!

No wonder the foreign devils' layoffs can cause a national sensation, all thanks to the good support of their peers.

Zhang Xuebing took the initiative to stand up and admit his mistake, "Mr.

Xia Jingxing sighed slightly in his heart. He knew that Zhang Xuebing could not be entirely blamed for this. The cafeteria of Fuxing Zhijia's R\u0026D department in Nanshan was definitely better than the factory.

It will definitely not work if all employees and departments are raised to the same meal standard. This also involves the issue of creating value for the enterprise.

In short, blue-collar workers are not as valued as white-collar workers.

This is also the tragedy of being in the middle and low end of the industrial chain. Capitalists are not philanthropists and will not increase employee benefits for no reason. Unless the First Emperor really touches the wires - if he wins, he can still be rewarded with three melons and two dates.

"At least raise the price of the meal to the level of "edible". You can see that the color of the rice is not right. It should be old rice, right?"

As Xia Jingxing spoke, he took a spoonful of rice and put it into his mouth. The executives around him were a little frightened, fearing that Mr. Xia would get angry the next second.

The employees who were secretly observing from a distance saw Xia Jingxing munching on the canteen food. They instantly felt that the food in their hands tasted delicious again. At the same time, they were still reflecting on themselves. Has their appetite become too picky? Or is Mr. Xia tired of eating delicacies from all over the world?

Xia Jingxing said to the surrounding executives: "Life is getting better day by day, and the company is moving towards success step by step.

At present, factories, including the entire Fuxing Smart Home Group, are relatively backward. The company has a lot of room for growth. Similarly, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the salary and welfare system.

Regarding these issues, we must educate employees who are willing to improve themselves and grow with the company. How can we not just raise some meal standards?

But what qualifications does a company that is not even willing to raise its meal standards have to talk about struggle, dreams, and shared wealth?

If this continues, young people will become increasingly reluctant to enter factories, which will lead to new problems sooner or later. "

Xia Jingxing glanced around and saw that countless boys and girls who killed Matt had stopped eating and kept looking at them, with eyes full of admiration, curiosity, envy, and even regret.

If you don't study hard, you will have no choice but to work in a factory.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing said to Li Ying again: "Fuxing Zhijia should sponsor a few colleges in each factory location. There are motivated young people in the factory who love to learn, and provide them with an opportunity to further their studies and receive re-education.

Reviving Smart Home will not be able to stay in the low-end manufacturing field in the future, and its employees will naturally have to grow along with it.

It doesn't matter if they don't have academic qualifications after training. As long as they can pass the company's internal certification, it will be no problem for them to work as technicians, engineers, or even move to a higher stage.

After a few years, maybe we can also cultivate a "Welding Emperor".

Maintaining an upward channel, even if it is very narrow, is a rare hope for those young people who really want to change themselves.

Maybe after becoming famous, it can attract young people who have failed to come to work in factories from all over the country. Some of them are very smart, but maybe they just can't adapt to the current learning system, or maybe they went astray when they were teenagers and are now gradually waking up. "

Li Ying smiled and nodded, "This is a good idea and it will have a positive effect on society. I support it!"

Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Li, will the cost of this be too high? How much does it cost to recruit an engineer directly from a university? How much does it cost to select and train an engineer?"

Xia Jingxing smiled, "We have 100,000 front-line workers. We train 500 or 1,000 people every year, right? Isn't it affordable to pay 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per person?"

The key is that the social repercussions caused by this are different. Working in a factory is no longer regarded by young people as a dead end, but as a hope for advancement.

Delivering food is not as comfortable as being an engineer. The prerequisite is that you are willing to pay for the mistakes you made in your youth and work hard again! "

Zhang Xuebing glanced at the young people around him who were around eighteen or nineteen years old. The young faces were all about the same age as his son who was still in college, but they had already entered the society to work early, and his heart suddenly softened.

"Okay! We should set some examples to inspire the young people in the factory.

Many of them either go to Internet cafes to play all night, or lie in the dormitory during the holidays, leading a somewhat gloomy and confused life.

Organize those who are willing to learn among them, train them, and after they have achieved success in their studies, they will be promoted and paid. Now they shouldn't have so little direction in life, right? "

The surrounding executives all echoed their words. One said he knew a young man who was diligent and studious, the other said he had discovered a good talent...

In short, in one sentence, the boss's decision is wise and can bring hope and light to young people.

Xia Jingxing looked at these flattering executives without any smile on his face.

This group of people still don’t realize what “lying flat” means and what “mourning culture” means.

Only when you realize that young people are under the increasingly serious pressure that they are almost unable to breathe, can you know that opportunities are for a young person who is eager to change, but does not know where to change. How important people are.

After eating a staff meal, Xia Jingxing felt inspired and proposed two changes.

The first is to improve employee meal standards, not just to meet the standards of R\u0026D personnel, but at least to be at the forefront of factories across the country, and to be in line with the company's image and profitability.

The second is to give those young people with strong ambitions the third chance to change their destiny after birth and college entrance examination.

This may increase the company's operating costs, but at the same time it does not bring actual gains to the company, but Xia Jingxing feels quite at ease and has a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
