Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

"The human factor?"

Zhang Yun repeated it slowly, but obviously still didn't understand what it meant.

Zhao Zhuo then further explained:

"You have to know that now the entire Zhuoyun Company together has thousands of people eating with us, and we have to take them into consideration.

You are right, since we are no longer making money, then suspending production is indeed the most economical and cost-effective way for the company.

But, have you ever thought that a cannery is nothing to us, but to the workers in the cannery, it is everything they need to make a living!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun's expression became solemn, and she somewhat understood what Zhao Zhuo meant.

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo continued:

"Also, it's winter now, and the New Year is about to come. As the New Year approaches, everyone needs money even more. At this time, if we close the cannery, the workers in the cannery will not be able to live well.

Years old."

Hearing this, Zhang Yun also nodded with a solemn expression:

"You're right, I didn't think carefully before. When we run a business, we really have to consider the workers."

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo nodded solemnly and said:

"So, not only can this cannery not be closed down, but production must be expanded so that the workers can make more money and live a good life this new year!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"I agree with what you said, but after all, we are running a company and not doing charity.

In order to make money for the workers, we can continue to operate the cannery at a loss, and that is no problem.

However, if we continue to expand production, this will be a bit too reluctant, right?

After all, if nothing else, just producing so much inventory is a very difficult thing to handle."

Zhang Yun's statement makes sense. After all, Zhuoyun Company is not a charitable foundation. As a company, strict cost accounting is required when doing things.

In Zhang Yun's view, there is no problem in continuing to operate for the sake of workers. However, it is somewhat difficult to continue to expand production.

When Zhao Zhuo heard Zhang Yun's words, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo's expression, Zhang Yun was confused:

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded honestly:

"Yes, there is something wrong."

Then, with Zhang Yun's confused expression, Zhao Zhuo continued:

"When I said we wanted to expand production, it was naturally not just to make the workers make more money, but I thought of how to make the cannery really make money."

Hearing such words, Zhang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up:

"What, you came up with a solution? Tell me quickly, what solution did you come up with!"

If the cannery can turn a profit, Zhuoyun Company can also make profits, and the workers can make more money. This is really the best of both worlds.

Zhao Zhuo's love for joking became active again.

I saw him grinning and saying:

"The solution, as I just said, is to expand production."

When Zhang Yun heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him:

"You are talking nonsense. If we expand production, the problem will be solved. I will make arrangements without you having to say anything."

But judging from the current situation, expanding production will have no effect other than increasing inventory."

Zhao Zhuo slowly shook his head:

"I'm not talking about expanding the production of canned fruits."

"Isn't it about expanding the production of canned fruits? What, is it possible that you want to produce canned salted fish again?

You have to know that canned salted fish is only effective if it is taken to the Soviet Union, and no one in Fengtian buys it."

Zhang Yun's joke was naturally referring to the exchange of canned salted fish for a truck.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled knowingly, and then continued:

"That's definitely not canned salted fish."

Zhang Yun's thinking was limited and she was immediately fooled by Zhao Zhuo.

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly:

"Who says canned food has to be canned fruit or canned salted fish? Can't we do something else?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yun fell into thinking. After thinking for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up:

"You mean..."

Then, the two of them said three words in unison:

"Canned meat?!"

After Zhang Yun said these three words, she immediately fell into a suspicious expression:

"Is this possible? The production techniques and processes of canned meat and canned fruit are different. If we want to produce canned meat, we have to adjust the production line. It is a very troublesome thing."

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"I know, but it's troublesome to adjust. After all, how can we not make money without making money?"

Zhang Yun smiled bitterly and said:

"You don't want to make money? How can you be so sure that we can make money?"

Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly:

"My reason is the same as the reason you just said that canned fruit is not profitable.

It's winter now, and the Chinese New Year is about to come. Frozen pears and other products are more popular than canned fruits, so there are fewer people buying canned fruits.

But don’t forget, when visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, canned braised pork is a good thing. It is a hard currency that can be used to gain face! We took advantage of this time before the year to sell canned meat, which is definitely a good thing.

A sure thing to make money without losing money.”

In this day and age, although it is no longer difficult to buy meat, it is still difficult for most families to eat meat as they wish.

Because of this, canned food made of pure braised pork has become a very affordable gift for visiting relatives and friends during the New Year.

After all, canned food is durable in storage and tastes very good. Whether you give it away to others or keep it for your own home, it is ok and fully meets everyone's needs.

But soon, Zhang Yun put forward her own idea:

"However, when making canned braised pork, in order to control costs, manufacturers often produce directly from slaughterhouses or meat factories. We buy the pork and then process it into cans, so the profit margin is very small.

.”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo looked at Zhang Yun and didn't speak for a while.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo staring at her like this, Zhang Yun couldn't help but asked in confusion:

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded, then said with a smile:

"I found that your thinking is a little solid. Who said that braised pork has to be braised pork? Isn't braised beef okay? Isn't braised mutton okay?

As long as the price is right, braised beef and mutton will probably be more popular than ordinary canned braised pork, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that! We have so many cattle and sheep, so the cost can naturally be kept to a minimum!"
