Chapter 1549 Admiration
At this time in Shenzhen, after nearly half a month of thorough preparation, Anjie Technology, the OEM factory of Jiasheng Electric Vehicles, has officially entered the battle state.
Those managers who are not wearing work clothes are busier and more nervous than the workers on the front line. They have already started to work while the workers are still eating lunch.
They carefully checked every corner of the entire factory area. Looking at their appearance, they are afraid that they can't wait to grab the entire factory area and put it on a workbench, and then observe it carefully with a microscope.
The boss of Anjie Technology, Li Dawei, who is over 50 years old and has a sturdy figure, is so fast that the assistants and managers behind him have to trot.
He walked fast all the way and observed carefully all the way.
This is really not contradictory, because these days, every corner of the factory has passed through countless times in his mind, and he clearly knows what the ideal state of each corner should be.
Since receiving the call from the Magic Workshop, after he was over 50 years old, he successfully transformed from a private enterprise boss who only focused on effectiveness to a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient of level 12 within half a month.
Influenced by him and benefiting from the company's fatigue bombardment these days, the entire Anjie Technology, from top to bottom, even those new employees who have no sense of identity with the company, let alone the spirit of ownership, are now obsessive-compulsive patients to varying degrees.
Feng Yiping's visit alone is worth the company's preparation, but this time, there are so many world-class big names visiting, which is a rare opportunity for the company, and for employees, it is also a rare opportunity to see so many legendary figures up close.
No one wants to let go of themselves at such a moment.
Li Dawei walked quickly across an assembly line, and suddenly turned back. Under the nervous gaze of a group of people, he pointed to one of the small hanging baskets on the assembly line that was empty at this time and used to hold parts and said, "This, change it first."
After he pointed, everyone found that a large piece of paint had fallen off a railing next to the yellow hanging basket.
A manager in charge of the workshop immediately said, "We will check it again right away."
"No need," Li Dawei walked forward quickly, "Just this one,"
They checked while walking, and when they arrived at the factory front desk, they found a total of four small problems, which shows that the relevant preparations are indeed impeccable.
At this time, the workers who had a short break after lunch were queuing to enter the workshop, but today there was one more inspection before entering the workshop. At the entrance, they had to undergo a grooming inspection.
…………
At two o'clock, Li Dawei began to drink tea and calm down. At two-thirty, he began to change clothes. At two-forty-five, he was already waiting at the gate with several senior executives. .
Next to him, there was also a policeman. They had been dealing with each other frequently these days. The deputy director of the Municipal Bureau had entered Anjie with a capable team early this morning.
At five minutes past three, the guy with good eyesight had already seen the white and blue police car with flashing lights on the road ahead.
"Here it comes, here it comes," with a few whispers, the people waiting became a little agitated.
Li Dawei buttoned up his suit, and a smile appeared on his face.
Soon, two police cars escorted five Audis, six Land Cruisers, and three Lotus cars into the company compound.
The people in the Audis and Land Cruisers got off first, and some strong foreigners in suits took the initiative to distribute themselves on the periphery, and the rest waited next to the two Lotus cars.
It seems that the big guys are all in the three minibuses.
"Haha, please, distinguished guests," the laughter came first before the people saw it, and then a person Li Dawei often saw on the provincial TV news got off the car. It was the secretary of the province, and the expressionless Jobs came down next. He seemed to turn a blind eye to everything in front of him, turned back and followed a young man and said something. The young man was naturally Feng Yiping.
In the other car, the first person to get off was a senior official.
There was a commotion in Anjie Company. "Mr. Feng," Li Dawei respectfully greeted Feng Yiping, and then, after his introduction, he excitedly shook hands with the distinguished guests who came today. The two provincial leaders, who were the center of attention wherever they went in the province, were marginalized.
The commotion in front of the company did not last long, and there was not even time for the accompanying reporters to take pictures. Led by Li Dawei, whose face was flushed with excitement, the group immediately entered the workshop for a visit.
"The area where we are located in the Pearl River Delta is only a few square kilometers, with a total of 9 cities, which is the area with the most concentrated industrial workers in China," the secretary of the head of the family here introduced the situation to everyone while walking.
But after that, it was difficult for them to interrupt. He had to wait for the translation of his words. Including Page and others, they only listened to a few words politely, and then surrounded Feng Yiping to ask questions.
"This is my first time in a factory like this," Page looked at the workers concentrating on the assembly line, "Look, their work seems to have a sense of rhythm,"
"Of course, because they have to follow the rhythm of the assembly line," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
Not to mention, in such a huge workshop, watching so many people working attentively, this scene is indeed beautiful.
As the visit deepened, the questions from the Americans also deepened, "The average age seems to be very young?"
"The center of gravity of the age structure has obviously shifted downward, and workers aged 18 to 30 account for more than 50%." Feng Yiping was also very well prepared for this last stop.
He made a phone call, and the relevant ministries and local governments sent him a lot of materials.
In fact, the official statement is "workers aged 16 to 30". Feng Yiping felt that it would be more appropriate to raise the age to 18 in front of these American friends.
"What about the average skill level?" Jobs was also visiting a Chinese factory for the first time. The scene in front of him also made him feel the power hidden in it.
"The proportion of senior technicians is currently much lower than that of the United States, only about 5%. However, given that the total number of industrial workers in my country currently exceeds 100 million, the total number of senior technicians is still more than 5 million,"
"Moreover, more than 10 million people sign up for various professional and technical personnel qualification examinations every year,"
"And our country still has a total of more than 200 million rural laborers with certain skills who can move to cities, with huge potential,"
Such data moved even a calm person like Jobs. They have a personal experience of how great China's potential is.
Musk, who has always been concerned about costs, asked, "What about wages?"
"On average, this aspect only accounts for about 10% of the total cost," Feng Yiping said.
"Oh," they exclaimed again.
"What about production efficiency?" Bezos asked.
He also asked the point.
"Without considering other factors, our production efficiency is also far lower than that of the United States. For example, this workshop in front of us has a total of more than 200 workers and can produce 600 electric vehicles in one working day,"
"However, during our peak sales season, the daily output here can be close to 2,000 vehicles,"
"More than three times?" Bezos said in surprise.
"Yes, more than three times,"
"Will the workers' labor intensity be too high?" Page asked with a frown.
For this question, Feng Yiping asked an executive of Anjie who was good at English to answer, "When there are many orders, our workers can work 12 hours a day for 30 consecutive days,"
"Working 12 hours a day for 30 consecutive days?" Those people frowned.
Feng Yiping knew that they must have thought of other places, such as rights protection, lack of unions and so on.
There are some things that not only those who have so much money that it is just a number do not understand, but also ordinary Americans do not understand.
"We can ask the workers here later, or ask the workers we meet on the road in this industrial zone, and then you will find that most of them are not worried about working too much overtime, but too little overtime,"
"Why?" Since Feng Yiping said so, they naturally believed it, but why?
"It's very simple, because if they work more overtime and more, they can get more wages, so that their families will be richer and happier," Feng Yiping said, looking at the workers in front of him.
In the past and now, many people he is familiar with are ordinary members of such assembly lines or other industries.
If you remove those slogans, fundamentally speaking, it is these ordinary workers and employees who have created the miracle of reform and opening up in our country.
The accompanying leaders immediately saw that the top American businessmen who were a little picky and didn't care much before suddenly changed.
Especially the way they looked at those workers, they actually looked admiring? What's going on? These guys would never be like this when they were with themselves.
Yes, people who work hard are worthy of admiration no matter when and where they are. This can be said to be a universal value.
