Chapter 163: Comprehensive Reform

Hearing this, all the employees in the conference room began to listen attentively.

Chen Mo tapped the tabletop lightly and spoke indifferently.

"After observing for the past few days, since the cafeteria, dormitory, office building, and workshops are somewhat scattered, making it inconvenient to walk back and forth, I have decided to purchase a batch of electric vehicles and place them at the entrance of each workshop to facilitate the workers' travel between various office locations."

"Also, the office staff have moved into the new office building, and the new employees have moved into the new workshops, so there will definitely be some things that aren't fully prepared."

"Furthermore, since the finance department and others have started working at the company, it's very inconvenient for them to take taxis when going out for business. Therefore, we need to purchase four commercial vehicles, with a budget of around 600,000."

"Li Shen, you will be responsible for all these matters. Whatever the workshops and offices are missing, have them report it to you collectively."

"Understood, President Chen."

Li Shen nodded quickly and hurriedly recorded President Chen's requirements in his notebook.

"Next is the matter of the cafeteria. Considering the increase in workers, the current few chefs will definitely be overwhelmed, so the number of head chefs and assistant chefs needs to be increased. Of course, the number of cleaning staff also needs to be increased."

"As for how many to add, just double the current number."

"Oh, one more thing. Since the company has adopted a dozen dogs, it's not ideal for the cafeteria cleaners to take care of them. We need dedicated personnel to raise them, including work like giving them a Shower, feeding, and deworming. Let's tentatively hire three people for that."

"Wang Maonian, if you have any acquaintances for the chef positions, feel free to poach them. If not, inform Human Resources of the positions and the number of people needed, and have her recruit online."

Chen Mo turned to look at Wang Maonian.

Sensing President Chen's gaze, Wang Maonian nodded quickly.

After arranging these two matters, Chen Mo turned to look at Jiang Cheng again.

"Also, regarding the workshops, now that they are larger and the number of employees has increased, hygiene needs to be improved. But since the employees need to work, they certainly shouldn't be the ones cleaning."

"Therefore, the workshops need dedicated cleaning staff. As for how many cleaners are needed, Jiang Cheng, you calculate it yourself, then report it to Human Resources and have them recruit online."

"Additionally, the new workshops have already started production, and the fashion designers have also come to work at the company. I believe it won't be long before the sample garments are ready. Coordinate with the Design Department."

"Understood, President Chen."

Jiang Cheng agreed and then asked.

"President Chen, how many sets of each style should we produce for the sample garments?"

Although the workshops were in production, the business side hadn't recruited any agents yet, and he was worried that making too many clothes would lead to stock accumulation in the warehouse.

Hearing this, Chen Mo said without hesitation.

"Make as many as you can, just ensure the workshops are running normally."

At a time like this, of course, the more the better. If the clothes produced can't be sold and pile up in the warehouse, it would be hard not to lose money.

The more clothes made, the more fabric and other materials consumed, and the more money lost.

He expanded and transformed the Garment factory precisely for this moment.

Starting today, the Garment factory officially enters the money-burning phase.

"I understand, President Chen."

Jiang Cheng silently lowered his head. Although he had some doubts about President Chen's approach, he believed that President Chen must have his reasons. All he needed to do was strictly supervise the employees in the workshops to ensure every piece of clothing leaving the factory was flawless.

"Alright, that's about it for these matters. If you have any questions, you can raise them now."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he scanned everyone in the conference room.

The conference room instantly fell silent; no one spoke.

"Since there are no…"

"Pre… President Chen, I have a question."

Chen Mo swallowed his half-spoken words and looked in the direction of the voice, seeing Xu Yaning raising her small hand, looking at him nervously.

"What question do you have? You can speak."

Seeing President Chen look over, Xu Yaning felt even more nervous. She had been at the company for a month and had only met President Chen once, and she hadn't even met the others present.

And then she was called directly to attend the meeting, which made her very nervous.

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to suppress the nervousness in her heart and spoke slowly.

"President Chen, it's already autumn. Should our Design Department produce winter sample garments directly, or should we produce autumn ones?"

This was a key question. After all, it was already autumn. If they made autumn sample garments, plus the time for production and shipping, by the time they were actually ready for sale, they probably wouldn't be able to sell autumn clothes for long before they would have to start selling winter clothes.

"Just discuss it with Department Manager Jiang. As long as you ensure the workshop workers have clothes to make, that's all that matters."

Chen Mo thought for a moment. Anyway, he didn't intend to sell these clothes, so it didn't matter which season's clothes they made; it wouldn't stop him from losing money.

"Understood, President Chen."

Xu Yaning let out a long sigh of relief and sat back down on her chair.

Seeing that Xu Yaning had no more questions, Chen Mo spoke again.

"Does anyone else have any questions?"

"President Chen, I would like to request something."

Tang Qiu adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and spoke slowly.

Chen Mo noticed that it was Attorney Tang who spoke and was startled. During this period, he had been frequently harassed by her phone calls, each time asking if there were any other tasks to arrange.

But the company only had so many things to do; how could there be so much work to assign to her?

"Attorney Tang, what is it?"

"President Chen, since we are making branded apparel, we must pay attention to the copyright of the clothes produced by our factory. I request that we apply for copyright registration for all the clothing styles designed by our factory's designers."

Tang Qiu said with an expectant look. During this period, she had conducted two legal awareness campaigns for Snowy Sky Games, and one for the Garment factory, and then there had been nothing else.

Every time she called President Chen to arrange work, he would just tell her to prepare for the next legal awareness campaign. But legal awareness campaigns were too simple; any lawyer could do that.

Doing such simple things while earning an annual salary of millions, she always felt it was a bit inappropriate.

This time, she had finally found an opportunity.

Since the Garment factory was making branded apparel, clothing copyright was very important. After all, once a designer at the Garment factory designed a hit piece of clothing that was liked and loved by the public…

If they didn't apply for copyright protection, many copycats would soon appear.

Most of the clothes produced by those copycats were of poor quality, but the prices were very cheap, which would directly steal away many customers who would have bought this garment.

But it would be different after they applied for copyright. Even if those copycats wanted to copy, they would have to make some changes to some extent.

After all, if they made it exactly the same, she could completely take the opportunity to sue the other party for infringement and subsequently obtain compensation.
