Chapter 1096: Majestic Shipbuilding
When Zhang Xin, escorted by many mechas, came to the headquarters of Weiyan Shipbuilding, all the high-level officials here lined up in the corridor inside the dock to greet him.
He himself was impatient to be polite, but at this time, he was patient and shook hands with the others present one by one.
Zhang Xin knows that when this person is panicking, even a small action of himself as a superior can make these people's mentality better.
"What is the status of the employees at the various production sites now? I have looked at your financial statements and it seems that the business has not dropped too much. β
The person he asked was Zhuang Jing, the interim CEO of Weiyan Shipbuilding. And this son-in-law of the Shenwei Zhang family only held the position of personnel director a month ago.
In fact, at this time, the vast majority of the management of Weiyan Shipbuilding was appointed temporarily. CEOs, sales directors, production directors, public relations directors, financial controllers, etc., were all detained by the Federal Security Service, and only a few high-level executives survived.
"The current state is not very good, and many employees within the company are worried about being laid off. The reason why the performance did not decline was due to the orders placed before this incident, which were scheduled until seven months later,"
Zhuang Jing looked respectful and followed closely by Zhang Xin's side.
"However, the orders in the past month have fallen off a cliff, less than two-thirds of the previous ones, and the vast majority of them are still from our affiliated enterprises. Even our second-hand ship business is far worse than it used to be, and many repaired ships have to be sold at reduced prices. But in fact, this is beyond expectations, and the reputation accumulated by Majestic Transport on civilian ships is still very good. β
"Really?"
Zhang Xin raised his eyebrows: "So in your opinion, is there any way to solve the current predicament?"
At this time, he had already entered a workshop, and it could be seen that a battleship was being built here, and dozens of majestic shipbuilding employees were operating various instruments and busily surrounding the half-finished ship.
"One is to find a way to increase sales, in addition to looking for a competent sales director, I also suggest that the two major banks, Guangye and Weiyan, provide us with stronger financial support. β
"Financial support? Is it to provide more loans to the buyers of Weiyan Shipbuilding?"
"Yes, although this will make the head office bear a certain amount of financial risk, it is the most effective way to increase sales in a short period of time. Second, it is to do its best to increase the orders of affiliated enterprises without violating the commercial law; and fourth, it is to find ways to downplay and make up for the impact of this arms purchase case. The third is to close down the production lines of several military ships, and after this turmoil, it is expected that we will not be able to receive orders from the military in a short period of time; and the fifth is to optimize production efficiency, that is, to lay off employees. In my opinion, it is necessary that we can reduce our personnel by another 15 percent while maintaining the current production capacity, just enough to keep it at the minimum of the automatic machinery tax. β
Zhang Xin knows the so-called 'automatic machinery tax', that is, the robot tax.
Modern machines and intelligent programs are extremely powerful and can do most things instead of humans. In order to ensure the employment rate of the people, the government has formulated a ratio of people to machinery for all walks of life, as well as ultra-high taxes, so that the full mechanization of major industries outweighs the losses.
"All the methods you said are feasible, but I don't take anything except the second one. β
Although Zhang Xin said this, there was a satisfied smile on his face.
He had long known the business strategy of Weiyan Shipbuilding, and the reason why he asked this just now was just to test the ability of the interim CEO.
As a result, although he lacks pioneering in business strategy, he is also an excellent keeper, and judging from his resume as the manager of the headquarters production base and the director of human resources, this person is not only enough to grasp the situation of majestic shipbuilding, but also to ensure that the shipbuilding company's ship production is not wrong.
And in this world, how many people can know like him that the nine royal veins have been expanding their private armies to varying degrees in recent years, and there are hundreds of billions of mysterious funds that have flowed into the pockets of the pirate groups in the major star fields, and those dragon moon people, after winning the battle in the Cox galaxy, also have plans to attack the Earth Federation?
ββThis is the information that only the top-level figure of the Earth Federation can obtain, but thanks to Ye Ruo's intelligence gathering ability, he can gain insight into the next situation trend of the Earth Federation from a high perspective.
Zhuang Jing's what he saw and heard was different from him, and being able to give these suggestions was already above the level.
However, the key thing is that this person was urgently appointed by Zhang Ran after the accident at the shipbuilding company. So this person, to a large extent, is reliable.
Looking at his behavior after taking charge of the shipbuilding company, Zhang Xin decided to give this person a certain degree of trust.
"The first approach, Ms. Bullard also mentioned to me, but I think that right now, we at the Majesty Group need to avoid any kind of financial risk. In short, due to the increase in piracy, I am concerned about the repayment ability of these buyers. Therefore, in the next three years, I hope that Guangye Bank and Weiyan Bank will gradually tighten credit in all aspects, even if it leads to a decline in performance. But you don't need to worry too much, I think that now Weiyan Shipbuilding not only can't shrink its business, but must also be ready to expand. Here are two pieces of news to tell you first, and then Shenwei Transportation Company and Shenwei Security will expand by two to three times the scale. A total of seven phases, a total of 3,000 warships of all kinds, should be able to fill your military slipway? There is another thing, I am ready to privately fund the acquisition of Zoe Shopping, and I have made an offer to Zoe's management and the bank group in Yingzhou, which has been verbally agreed, and is currently negotiating the specific purchase price and conditions."
When the interim CEO named Zhuang Jing heard this, he finally looked surprised.
"It's okay to optimize production efficiency, there is no need to lay off employees, I need your shipbuilding company to expand a few more repair shipyards to Yingzhou Star Field. Can you transfer redundant personnel? As for the third point you saidβ"
Zhang Xinzheng said this, but the crowd following them twenty paces away suddenly heard a 'bang', he couldn't help but look back in astonishment, and saw that the people behind him all looked strange and looked in his direction. Even Zhuang Jing, after receiving the prompt from his subordinates, looked at Zhang Xin's gaze, and it became abnormal. There are shocks, there are doubts, and there is a bit of blame in the incredible.
And after only a little thought, he guessed that this must be the result of his two microblogs, which have begun to ferment on the Internet and public opinion.
ββAt a glance, I can see that many of the management here have not paid attention to his Weibo of Aoke, so they didn't know about it until now.
However, it is no wonder that the user scale of Aoke Weibo before this is indeed small and pitiful. And the main business direction of this Weibo company is also specialized in young people, which is indeed unsuccessful.
So he didn't care, turned his head again, and continued to walk forward.
"As for the third point you mentioned, I need to understand the specific situation before making a decision. β
