Chapter 133 Promotion Plan for Garment Factory Employees

Clothing Factory.

After the lunch break, Chen Mo looked at the system funds of over 18 million yuan, feeling a bit of a headache.

This time, the current system funds were higher than the initial system funds.

Currently, the finance department had not yet completed the salary payments to the employees, but even after salaries were disbursed, the system funds would still be over 17 million yuan.

It seemed he needed to accelerate the pace of spending.

The known places to spend money right now were the coffee shop and the renovation of the new factory building. However, the sublease procedures for the coffee shop hadn't been finalized yet. Once the coffee shop was leased, he would find a renovation company for both at the same time.

Then, the new workshop would definitely need a batch of new machines, which would be a large expense. As for what machines to buy and how many, that would be left to Jiang Cheng to figure out.

The only requirement was that they had to be expensive.

Additionally, the new workshop would certainly require new employees. If they waited until the workshop renovation was complete to recruit new employees, it would be too late. Therefore, new employees had to be recruited now.

As for how many people needed to be recruited, Jiang Cheng would also need to compile a statistic.

Thinking of this, he immediately called Jiang Cheng and asked him to come over.

A moment later!

Jiang Cheng walked in a bit cautiously.

“Mr. Chen, what are your arrangements?”

“Have a seat and talk.”

Chen Mo pointed to the chair in front of him.

“There are some things I need you to do. As you know, our Clothing Factory has begun to transform into a brand apparel business, so we have also leased a 2,000-square-meter workshop.”

“However, for this 2,000-square-meter workshop, you will need to arrange how many machines to install and what kind of machines. The standard for the machines should still follow the previous standard. Remember, don't be afraid to spend money; choose the most advanced machines for me.”

“Then there’s the personnel issue. Adding so many machines will definitely require recruiting new employees. I need you to calculate how many new employees need to be recruited based on the increased number of machines. Then I can inform Human Resources to recruit people as soon as possible.”

Jiang Cheng nodded quickly upon hearing Mr. Chen’s arrangements.

“I understand, Mr. Chen. It’s just that the new factory building hasn’t been renovated yet, so it might not be necessary to recruit new employees so early, right?”

“You don’t understand this, do you? Work emphasizes efficiency. Recruiting employees as early as possible allows them to become familiar with the work environment and also allows for early training. Once the workshop renovation is complete, they can directly start working.”

Chen Mo explained seriously. As for the real purpose, of course, it was to recruit employees as early as possible to start spending money!

Jiang Cheng nodded subtly upon hearing this. As expected, Mr. Chen was Mr. Chen; his considerations were so comprehensive.

“Then, Mr. Chen, I’ll go back and compile the statistics as soon as possible.”

“Alright, go.”

He watched Jiang Cheng leave.

Chen Mo then began his next plan. Aside from renovation, the workshop matters were basically all arranged.

Next was the recruitment of designers, which definitely needed special attention. After all, the quality of clothing design was related to clothing sales.

Therefore, he had to personally oversee the recruitment of designers and ensure that those experienced designers did not enter the company.

Thinking of this, he immediately informed Human Resources of his requirements.

After everything was done,

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, relaxed. After half a day of busy work, most of the matters were finally resolved.

About an hour later,

Jiang Cheng knocked on the door again, entered the office, and handed Chen Mo a folded A4 paper.

“Mr. Chen, the machine selection and personnel recruitment have been tallied. You can take a look.”

“Hmm!”

Chen Mo opened the A4 paper, his gaze skipping directly over the machine models and landing directly on the price.

3.2 million yuan.

It was about what he expected. It seemed Jiang Cheng hadn't saved him money.

Honest people were indeed less troublesome; they did exactly as they were told.

Chen Mo smiled slightly, feeling that his decision to choose Jiang Cheng as the workshop director was indeed perfectly correct!

Immediately after, he looked at the number of employees to be recruited.

60 people.

“Why are there only 60 employees?”

Chen Mo looked at Jiang Cheng in confusion.

This was fewer than he had expected. In his estimation, 2,000 square meters could accommodate around 100 workers, but he didn't expect it to be only seventy people.

“Mr. Chen, some of the machines we are purchasing are automated, and their volume is larger than previous machines, so they take up more space. However, a process that used to require three people can now be completed by one person using these machines.”

“For example, among the machines purchased, there is a fully automatic cutting bed machine, which can save several workers.”

Jiang Cheng explained.

Chen Mo frowned slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that choosing these expensive machines would save so much labor.

From a long-term perspective, the more workers there were, the higher the system funds consumed would definitely be.

After all, machines were a one-time expense, but workers had to be paid every month.

Should he switch back to the previous ordinary machines and increase the workforce?

Chen Mo thought for a moment and quickly abandoned this idea.

His current system funds were truly too much, and he needed to quickly deplete them in a short period. So, for now, choosing those automated machines was the most suitable option.

Thinking of this, he placed the A4 paper directly on the table and looked up at Jiang Cheng.

“Alright, this matter is settled. For the machines, you go discuss with Li Shen and have him order them from the Mechanical Factory, then have them delivered after the Clothing Factory renovation is complete.”

“Also, when you go back, conduct an internal selection in the workshop. A total of 11 people: one workshop director, two team leaders, and eight group leaders. Once the new employees are recruited, they will be responsible for leading and training them.”

“Furthermore, these official positions are not for nothing. Group leaders will receive a 1,000 yuan raise, team leaders a 2,000 yuan raise, and the workshop director a 3,000 yuan raise. In addition, Jiang Cheng, you are promoted from workshop director to Production Department Director, with a 4,000 yuan raise.”

“That’s all. Go and arrange it.”

Chen Mo waved his hand, admiring his own sudden inspiration.

The matter of employee promotions was something he had just thought of. Since the number of workshop personnel had increased, it would definitely not work for Jiang Cheng to manage them alone.

So, adding a few small leaders was also reasonable.

And since the positions were elevated, salaries naturally had to be increased!

Jiang Cheng walked out of the office somewhat dazed, his mind still lingering on Mr. Chen's words. He had been promoted to Production Department Director and received a four thousand yuan salary increase.

He pinched his thigh, somewhat disbelieving, and the pain confirmed that he wasn't dreaming.

He slowly walked to the workshop on the second floor.

Looking at the employees who were working, he moved his lips.

Mr. Chen wanted him to select 11 people, but there were only 16 people in the workshop in total.

How was he supposed to choose?
