Chapter 109: Improvement

For lunch, Han Songlin settled for it inside the factory, because he didn't have any bowls or chopsticks, so he used Liu Xiaomei's. Fortunately, Liu Xiaomei had prepared extra bowls and chopsticks, otherwise Han Songlin really wouldn't have known what to use.

The canteen also had bowls and chopsticks, and sometimes the drivers who came to pick up and deliver goods would also eat in the canteen.

Han Songlin did not say that the drivers had to pay to eat, which is true.

If they want to eat in the canteen, they will be given a meal ticket, and they can eat with it.

Fule Wine has a lot of rules and regulations; in fact, the more formal the enterprise, the more rules and regulations there are.

On the contrary, small enterprises have a high degree of freedom; while freedom is uncontrollable, it also means a strong ability to innovate.

When a small business grows into a large enterprise, various systems and regulations will be established quickly.

Because managing 50 people is a completely different concept from managing 100 people.

As the boss, you can manage 50 people perfectly.

But what about 100 people?

At this point, it is no longer up to the boss alone to manage, but rather the system.

After taking over the winery, Han Songlin placed great emphasis on system construction.

He is also constantly improving the various systems.

Having systems in place is not enough, you also need people to implement them.

In the office, we often organise training for our staff.

For the workers, it is mainly about learning the production system, which covers specific production operations, hygiene, safety, fire prevention, employee rights and interests, and so on.

Fule Liquor Industry is very concerned about employee rights and interests.

Han Songlin himself does not want to be a boss like Zhou Bapai.

Employee rights mainly concern employees' holidays, and they get one day off per week. Of course, employees take turns off on these days off.

On the 27th of each month, they have to report their holiday arrangements for the following month.

They can also swap days off, but this has to be approved by the team leader, signed by the workshop director, and then filed with the human resources department.

To be honest, in the factories of the 1990s, there were very few companies managed in this way!

Who doesn't say that if you just say hello, you won't come to work today and you won't.

In Fule Liquor, if an employee doesn't have a leave certificate, it's considered absenteeism, and three times the daily wage will be deducted for each day of absenteeism.

If you are absent for three consecutive days, you will be dismissed.

In addition to weekly leave, Fule Liquor also has annual leave. If you have worked for half a year, you can take five days of annual leave; if you have worked for a year, you can naturally take ten days of annual leave.

There are also marriage leave and bereavement leave.

Today's canteen dish is cabbage and vermicelli, which is honestly quite good.

'How are the canteen meals arranged now?' Han Songlin carries a lunchbox and eats as he walks.

The lunchbox is made of aluminium, as are most lunchboxes nowadays.

In the future, lunchboxes will no longer be made of aluminium, but of stainless steel, which looks a bit more high-end.

In a few years, lunch boxes will be made of plastic again.

Well, a plastic lunch box is fine for holding things, but for steaming things? Even though theoretically, 100°C high temperatures won't cause the plastic to change, Han Songlin subconsciously rejects the idea.

'The canteen?' Liu Xiaomei holds her lunch box. She can't eat while walking like Han Songlin, it's not ladylike.

In the factory, Liu Xiaomei has to be mindful of her image.

'It's much better than before! On Saturdays and Sundays, the canteen even makes steamed pork and braised pork.'

Steamed pork and braised pork?

Han Songlin said he wanted to eat them too.

Steamed pork and braised pork are quite troublesome to make, so they are not usually made at home unless there is something special going on.

Wait, tomorrow is the banquet; this is not yet the future era of weight loss advocacy, and people nowadays don't have enough oil and water, so there will still be greasy dishes.

It will be hard to see them in the future.

'This is fine, in the future, when the new canteen is built, you will eat stir-fries at the factory when you eat there!'

Liu Xiaomei: 'In fact, the canteen's big-pot dishes are quite good!'

Should Han Songlin say at this time that she has no aspirations in life?

At least in the future, when some leaders come to the factory for inspections, the factory won't be able to say that it doesn't even have a place to entertain.

After lunch, many of the office staff go for a short break; a nap in the afternoon gives them the energy to work better.

Fule Wine Industry starts work at 8:30 a.m. and lunch is at 12:00 noon.

Work starts again at 2:00 p.m. and finishes at 5:00 p.m.

Some of the office staff live in the county town and come to work by shuttle bus in the morning, and go back to the county town by shuttle bus in the afternoon.

Han Songlin does not take a nap, but sits at his desk and writes and draws in his notebook.

He decides that he wants to make some changes to the current management structure of Fule Wine.

Should the sales department be retained?

Han Songlin is a little torn, but thinks that it should be retained.

It should not become a separate company.

The production department should take over the production side.

The title of factory manager was abolished because it really made people think that the person was the most important person in the factory.

Therefore, it is better to use the title of head of the production department.

Replacing some of the previous various departments with departments is also considered a manifestation of modern management in Chinese companies.

In fact, the essence of management has not changed.

It is just that the titles have changed.

Finance, human resources, general affairs!

The general affairs department is a department that deals with miscellaneous matters, capable of managing everything but also not specifically managing anything.

Is such a department necessary?

Of course it is.

Because each department must have a department that can connect them all, and that department is the general affairs department.

Han Songlin was in the office considering the future departmental setup of Fule Liquor, when Liu Xiaomei arrived with someone.

She knocked three times on the door and heard Han Songlin shout, 'Come in!'

Liu Xiaomei then slightly bowed and said, 'Mayor Jiang, please come in!'

Jiang Guangxiao walked into the office with a smile on his face.

Han Songlin looked up and saw Jiang Guangxiao come in, and a trace of doubt involuntarily arose in his mind. Why did he come?

'Hello, Mayor Jiang, it's been a long time!' Han Songlin hurriedly stood up, and a smile instantly crept up his cheeks.

Jiang Guangxiao reached out and shook hands with Han Songlin, and a wry smile crept onto his face. 'Boss Han, you're a busy man, and I've tried to find you to talk several times, but I never got the chance! So, when I heard that you were here at the factory today, I came right over!'

'Mayor Jiang, you're joking. Come, sit down! Liu Xiaomei, don't just stand there, go and serve some tea!'

Jiang Guangxiao waved his hands repeatedly: 'No, no, I'll sit down and leave!'

'Hey, what's the rush? Sit down and have some tea first, and let's catch up!'

Liu Xiaomei quickly went out to make tea.

'This time I came back and found that the town has changed a lot again. I remember when I first arrived, the townspeople didn't have much, but now there are more people!'

'It's all thanks to you! If you hadn't taken over the brewery, the town would have declined in a few years.'

This is no joke.

China is urbanising, and the cities are absorbing the population from the towns and villages.

The decline of the countryside is inevitable.
