Chapter 213: Expansion of the factory

Such high wages are quite uncommon these days. The monthly salary bill for the entire R&D department alone is nearly 2 million.

This is just the salary bill; there are also various material costs, utilities, etc. to be considered.

So, even though the tractors of Fuxing Industry are selling well,

But when you do the sums, Fuxing Industry loses several million yuan every month.

This is too much money, too big a loss.

Zhang Leping can't help feeling a little scared, fearing that he might wake up one morning and be told that Fuxing Industry has gone bankrupt and he is once again unemployed.

'Boss, our research and development expenditure is too high, this is not healthy!'

Han Songlin puts down his documents, leans back and says, 'This is a good chair.

Who says that Chinese people don't understand ergonomics? This chair is very comfortable.

'I know!'

Zhang Leping opened his mouth, wanting to ask, if you know everything, why do you have to do it like this?

'Zhang, you can't just look at the expenses, you have to see what we've actually gained. Throughout the month of July, our Fuxing Industry applied for a total of 30 patents. This month, only two-thirds of the way through, we've already applied for 32 patents. What does this show?'

Zhang Leping: 'It shows that our money is well spent?'

Han Songlin paused. What I was going to say has been said by you, so what shall I say?

No wonder Zhang Leping was a bit unpopular at his previous factory.

'Haha, indeed, our money has not been spent in vain! From the very beginning, when Fuxing Industry was founded, I have said that Fuxing Industry is a technology-driven enterprise. We must always maintain an unremitting pursuit of technology. As long as we have technology, then we are not afraid. The new agricultural vehicle has been developed quite quickly, and I believe it will soon be finalised. By then, we will naturally be able to say that we have earned back all the money invested, and more.

Comparing the current Chinese economy to the future, it is just a fraction of it.

However, in the vehicle market, China has always been very powerful.

Even if the future says that the car market is doing badly and making car companies suffer, the overall market is still very good.

It can only be said that when the market becomes saturated, then naturally rubbish companies will not be able to eat the meat when facing competition.

Then gradually they will not be able to drink the soup, and in the end they will only be able to die.

If you want to keep eating meat and drinking soup, then you must have technology.

In the end, the market can only be won with technology.

Something that is popular for a short time may explode in the market because of something else being done well, but without the support of technology, it will eventually fall silent.

Here, there is a distinction between technique and the way.

Many companies like to use 'technique' to develop their business, and within a certain period of time, they have indeed achieved good results.

But in the end, it all falls silent.

Companies that develop using the 'way', such as Zhongwei, continue to do well regardless of the changing circumstances.

And they become stronger and stronger.

If you use both the 'technique' and the 'way', then the development of the enterprise will naturally be fast.

Now Fuxing Industry sells very well on tractors. If Fuxing Industry focuses its energy on tractors in the future, then honestly, the future outcome can be predicted more or less.

But what Fuxing Industry has chosen to do is to work hard on its internal strength.

'What's the latest news on the new factory site?'

'The farmers have all completed the demolition. Next, the construction company will enter the site.'

The construction company did not choose randomly, but the municipal construction company.

The entire construction period is quite tight, and it is required to build the factory within six months.

In addition to the factory building, there is also a dormitory building.

Fuxing Industry did not say that the dormitory building would be built next to the production workshop.

Since it is a machinery factory, there will inevitably be various noises and the like in the production workshop.

Therefore, there is an isolation belt of about 200 meters between the Fuxing Industry dormitory building and the factory area.

This buffer zone will be built into a park.

Of course, since it is a park, it belongs to municipal facilities and should be built by Yanghe.

Yanghe has no money, so the land was allocated for free, and then Fuxing Industry built the park.

Han Songlin also agreed.

After all, the park is stuck between Fuxing Industry's factory and dormitory buildings; to put it bluntly, few other citizens can enjoy the park.

Even the name of the park was not renamed, it was simply called Fuxing Park.

It's direct enough!

With such a big move, Fuxing Industrial naturally needed funds to support it.

Han Songlin was also very bold and directly said that he would use Fuxing Industrial's land and machinery and equipment as collateral to borrow a sum of money from the bank to cover the cost of construction of the new factory area and dormitory area.

Of course, this time, the loan was not taken out from the Construction Bank, but from another bank.

The bank had long been waiting for Han Songlin's loan application.

Fuxing Industry is currently losing money, so what?

It doesn't matter if you lose money, as long as there is future development potential, it's fine.

Of course, there were some things behind this, which I won't go into too much detail, such as Jia Yuanshan lobbying other banks.

Han Songlin even invited everyone to dinner, play cards, drink and other things, but that's not to be mentioned openly.

Han Songlin would never do anything as dangerous as directly giving money away.

The main thing was giving away wine and the like.

It was fine to give away wine. For Han Songlin, wine was worthless, and it was not unusual to give a friend dozens of bottles of wine.

As for whether the friend drank the wine or sold it somewhere, what did it matter to Han Songlin?

Han Songlin and Jia Yuanshan did not have so many problems with each other; they were not just a simple combination of interests, but also supported each other in their careers.

No one could say anything about this.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Han Songlin has always been able to develop well.

As long as you develop well, then everything is justified.

The first reaction when hearing the saying 'promote the worthy and avoid relatives' is that it sounds good.

But if you think about it, if someone is really capable, why would they need to be recommended by a family member?

Could it be that no one else can see how capable they are?

If nepotism is the case, then don't make excuses, it's disgusting.

'Pay more attention to the construction of the dormitory and the new factory area. I hope the factory area can be fully operational before the New Year. As for the dormitory, I hope it can be used before May 1st next year.'

There's no need to say anything about the factory area, but as for the question of whether the dormitory can be built in less than a year.

You really don't need to worry.

I'm quite sure there's no problem at all.

It's the south, so as long as there aren't any heavy rainstorms, construction can basically be carried out all year round.

And the dormitory building that Fule Wines wants to build is not that high.

It's only five floors, so it's not technically difficult.

Not to brag, but a construction team from any random village can build a five-storey building these days.

Why did Han Songlin hire a professional construction company? Because they could draw up the design according to Han Songlin's requirements.

Since it is a dormitory building, most of the rooms do not have kitchens.

That's right, there are no kitchens.

For single people, what's the point of cooking? Just eat in the factory canteen.

Don't want to eat in the canteen every day?

No problem, there will be shops and the like along the street side of the dormitory building.

Are you worried about not being able to find food?
