Chapter 370 Election of Leading Cadres of the Food Factory (Part 2)
With Qi Tongwei's departure from the team, many people began to ask questions, which Luo Jianshe answered one by one.
Clearly, Luo Jianshe had made thorough preparations.
Yu Fushan also raised a few questions. As the deputy county head in charge, he hoped that the food factory could develop well in the future and no longer become a burden on the county.
Qi Tongwei didn't ask any questions; it's a bit too early to ask now.
He planned to wait until all the candidates for factory director had finished speaking and asked their questions before asking questions in a group.
Then, let them answer their own questions.
Following Luo Jianshe, Zhang Yunlei, Ma Aiguo, Yang Dapeng, Peng Shuiying, and Du Qiantu also took to the stage to give speeches and answer questions from the audience.
They were running for factory director and deputy factory director.
After them, others took to the stage to give speeches and answer questions.
"County Chief Qi, aren't you going to ask two questions?"
Yu Fushan noticed that Qi Tongwei hadn't asked any questions.
He wasn't sure what Qi Tongwei's opinion was.
Qi Tongwei said he was satisfied with these people's performance, but he did not offer any praise.
It is said that Qi Tongwei is dissatisfied with these people, yet he does not criticize them.
"No rush, let's wait until the candidates have finished going on stage!"
Qi Tongwei said.
Qi Tongwei did not make any move until all the candidates had taken the stage.
"Thank you all for your active participation. Are there any other comrades who are preparing for the election?"
If not, I'll ask a question.
Qi Tongwei stood up and looked at the people at the food factory.
"That's all, right? Then let me first share my thoughts on everyone's performance!"
Qi Tongwei said when he saw that no one else was going on stage.
"It is commendable that everyone dares to challenge themselves; we need comrades like that."
However, in my opinion, everyone's performance still had many shortcomings.
Qi Tongwei first summarized everyone's performance.
"Many comrades ran for factory director and deputy factory director, and talked a lot about their plans."
But your eyes are still fixed on this small piece of land in Xichun County.
Have you considered Linqiong and Sandu nearby? Have you considered the city proper?
How many people live in Xichun County? And how much do the locals earn?
How much can you sell even if you sell it at all your might?
Or are you simply planning to restore the food factory to its previous normal operating state?
Such a perspective does not meet the county's requirements for the new factory director and deputy director of the food factory!
The county's shareholding reform of the food factory is not simply about turning it around and restoring it to its previous normal state.
The county wants the food factory to quickly turn a profit, then rapidly grow and become a well-known large enterprise in Jincheng and even the Southwest Province!
Therefore, what we need are people with a long-term vision, focusing on the entire city, the province, and even the whole country.
Qi Tongwei then criticized Luo Jianshe and his team's performance.
"Now, I'd like to ask a few questions for those running for factory director and deputy factory director!"
Qi Tongwei looked at Luo Jianshe and the others.
How can we enable our food factory's products to quickly capture the entire market in Jincheng City?
How can we get our food factory's products out of Jincheng and capture the market in Southwest China?
How can we expand our food factory's products beyond Southwest China and capture the national market?
Qi Tongwei immediately raised three questions.
He wanted the food factory to become a major taxpayer in Xichun County, because relying solely on the Xichun County market wouldn't be enough.
We need to capture at least half of the market in Jincheng.
To achieve this, a factory manager with a long-term vision and strong management skills is needed.
Judging from the current situation, none of the people running for factory director and deputy factory director in the food factory have the necessary abilities.
He could only offer some hints and let them think about it.
Sure enough, the room fell silent the moment Qi Tongwei asked his three questions.
They thought Qi Tongwei would ask how to solve the money problem since the food factory didn't have any.
They heard that Qi Tongwei went to the city the day before yesterday but failed to get the money.
Little did they expect that Qi Tongwei's question would be about sales.
Before long, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
Yu Fushan recalled the promotional methods that Qi Tongwei had proposed during the county government meeting.
He hasn't discussed these methods with the people at the food factory yet.
After all, the most important thing for the food factory right now is the shareholding reform. These issues can only be discussed after the reform is completed.
Luo Jianshe and his colleagues scratched their heads, unsure how to answer.
Because Qi Tongwei's three questions were far too ambitious, so ambitious that they had never even considered them, nor dared to.
Take the first question for example, how is it possible to quickly capture the entire market in Jincheng?
The entire city of Jincheng consists of the urban area plus the dozen or so county-level cities below it.
How could so many places be taken over in such a short time?
The first issue is manpower. To capture the market in so many places as quickly as possible, we must send a lot of sales people to each city to promote our products.
Each city needs at least three salespeople, so the food factory will need fifty or sixty sales staff alone.
Nowadays, food factories don't have a single experienced salesperson.
The original sales staff were arrested along with Wang Wenda and his associates.
Secondly, there's the production issue. To cover the urban area and the dozen or so counties and cities under Jincheng, there needs to be enough product to supply it, and production needs to keep up.
Thirdly, there's the issue of price. To cover the city center and the dozen or so counties and cities under Jincheng, the price can't be too high, but it also can't be too low.
If the price is too high, no one will buy; if it's too low, you won't make any money.
Moreover, low profits are also detrimental to the development of food factories.
Don't forget that the food factory also has 1500 million yuan in debt and 200 million yuan in employee wages.
Fourth is technological improvement and upgrading, which means upgrading equipment and processes.
"The first issue is that I think we should expand the factory's sales team and, after training them, go to the city and other counties to promote our products."
At the same time, we will resume production in the workshop as soon as possible to ensure that our factory's products can meet the sales staff's promotional needs.
Then set a suitable price to ensure that the factory has a certain profit while also having a price advantage.
Once production reached a certain level and some revenue was generated, we began to gradually upgrade equipment and improve technology and processes…
The first question to be answered was by Luo Jianshe.
Then, Zhang Yunlei, Ma Aiguo, Yang Dapeng, Peng Shuiying, Du Qiantu, and others also gave their answers.
However, most people's answers were conventional and unremarkable.
Only one young man named Jiang Xiangrong mentioned finding a way to make the food factory famous and let everyone in Jincheng know about its products.
This would make it much easier to capture the urban area and the dozen or so surrounding counties and cities, and sales would increase significantly.
"Thank you all for your enthusiastic responses. What do you think of their answers?"
Qi Tongwei did not immediately offer his comments, but instead asked everyone to evaluate Luo Jianshe and his team's responses.
"very good!"
Everyone said in unison.
They wouldn't know how to answer either.
"Let me give you my evaluation. I can only say it's very average, and even a bit disappointing!"
Qi Tongwei said.
