It was originally planned to recruit various talents after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
But Zheng Xudong has already purchased the storefront and will open for business when the decoration is completed.
Therefore, all store managers and employees must be recruited during the renovation period.
As a result, recruitment must be carried out in advance, but Lin Mai plans to only recruit personnel from the human resources department, accounting staff and Baohaochi and Unico branch staff.
With the HR department, the recruitment and training of employees will be left to the HR department in the future.
As for the recruitment of accounting personnel, it is to replace Tang Shunying, and then to assign accounting personnel to various departments and establish a general accounting department.
Tang Shunying has already committed an act of infidelity. If he stays here for one more day, there will be more hidden dangers.
Lin Mai asked Hou Xinyi to draw up a recruitment notice and post it at the factory gate.
Tang Shunying was involved in corruption, but Hou Xinyi knew nothing about it.
He asked in confusion: "Why do we need to recruit accounting personnel? Doesn't our factory have an accounting department?"
Lin Mai said calmly: "Just do as I say."
Ren Baozhu said hesitantly: "We have to recruit anyway, so why not recruit a few hundred more workers for the garment factory, so that we don't have to hire others to do the processing and increase the cost."
Although contract processing was very common among big-name enterprises in Linmai's previous life.
But those big-name companies are either in developed countries or developed regions.
They engage in OEM processing in developing countries and regions, using cheap local labor and reducing costs.
However, Linmai uses local labor and does not have the bonus of cheap labor at all.
Therefore, letting other manufacturers do the processing will indeed increase the cost and is not cost-effective.
Lin Mai nodded towards Ren Baozhu and said, "What you said makes sense.
Asking other manufacturers to do the processing is a temporary measure, mainly to cope with the two major festivals of Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.
There are at least two months left before New Year's Day and Spring Festival.
Then we might as well expand the garment factory in one step within these two months.
Maybe we won’t need to hire an agent for processing during the holidays, and we can sell it nationwide.”
She looked at Tao Zhiyun: "Director Tao, how many employees do you think our garment factory should recruit this time?"
The reason why Lin Mai asked her this question was that she had worked in a garment factory for several years.
How much is Japan's production and how many employees are needed? She has more experience than everyone present.
Tao Zhiyun turned a deaf ear and stared straight at the table in front of him.
Everyone stared at her in confusion, but she didn't respond.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Lin Mai repeated what he had just said to Tao Zhiyun and raised his voice, but she was still in a daze.
It was Hou Xinyi who was sitting next to Tao Zhiyun who patted the table in front of her that made her come back to her senses.
He asked blankly: "Is the meeting over?"
Hou Xinyi said speechlessly: "Not yet, Mr. Lin is asking you something."
Tao Zhiyun's face turned slightly red and he asked uncomfortably: "What did Mr. Lin ask just now? I...I didn't pay attention~"
Lin Mai looked at her inquiringly and repeated what he just said.
Tao Zhiyun pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to celebrate the holidays, you don't need to hire an agent for processing. You need to hire at least a thousand workers."
Lin Mai was silent: "Our factory cannot accommodate a thousand workers.
It seems that if you want to expand the scale of production, you must first change to a larger factory."
Tao Zhiyun spread his hands and said: "Where can there be such a big clothing factory in Jiangcheng? You can't buy it even if you want to."
Lin Mai thought for a while and said: "Then buy a piece of land and build a factory by yourself."
Ren Baozhu was worried: "We are a private enterprise, will the superiors sell us land?"
In this era, real estate had not yet started, so there was no such thing as buying and selling land.
If a state-owned unit wants land, it only needs to apply to the superior, and there is no need to spend money.
Land obtained in this way is called allocated land.
As for how private enterprises obtain land in this era, Lin Mai is not sure.
But I guess it was the same as later, selling the use rights to private enterprises.
Lin Mai said: "I'll just ask District Chief Ouyang."
She thought for a moment: "Since we want to buy land to build a garment factory, why not build the head office, food factory and real estate department together?
Once the head office and two factories are completed, large-scale recruitment will begin."
Tao Zhiyun was stunned: "Why do you suddenly want to open a food factory?"
Lin Mai explained: “It’s not that we suddenly want to open a food factory, but we have had this plan for a long time.
In the future, there will be more and more branches of Baohao Noodle Shop.
If each branch makes its own buns and dumplings, it will easily lead to inconsistent taste.
I open a food factory and make steamed buns, dumplings, etc. in a unified manner, and then deliver them to various branches, so that the taste can be guaranteed to be consistent."
Ren Baozhu nodded understandingly.
Lin Mai asked Wang Xiaoli, who was silent, "Have you finished the two branches of the 'Human Fireworks' barbecue restaurant that you were responsible for buying?"
Wang Xiaoli nodded: "It's almost done. We'll sign the house purchase contract tomorrow."
Lin Mai roughly asked about the situation.
The lot was purchased according to her requirements, and the price was reasonable.
Lin Mai praised Wang Xiaoli without hesitation.
It's really great that Wang Xiaoli, a newbie, has grown up in such a short period of time.
Wang Xiaoli smiled sheepishly.
She used to be afraid of buying a storefront.
I am afraid that the appearance of the purchase will not meet my requirements, and I am even more afraid that the purchase price will be high.
Unexpectedly, I actually did well, and my self-confidence immediately improved a lot.
After the meeting, Lin Mai and Ren Baozhu returned to their offices.
The two were about to discuss the issue of expanding the scale of Lily Headwear, when Zheng Xudong stood outside and knocked on the open door.
Lin Mai said: "Please come in."
Zheng Xudong walked in and smiled apologetically at Ren Baozhu: "I only want to say a few words to Mr. Lin."
He placed dozens of real estate certificates in front of Lin Mai,
Tell her which ones are the real estate certificates of the front house and which ones are the real estate certificates of the residential house in the urban village that was bought for her.
Lin Mai took a rough look at all the properties.
The prices are quite reasonable and the location is good.
Zheng Xudong said that the houses bought for her in the urban villages were not particularly old. With some repairs, it would not be a problem to live in them for another ten or twenty years.
Although Lin Mai doesn't care how many years the house in the urban village can last.
But the house Zheng Xudong bought for her can still be lived in for ten to twenty years, and the price is not expensive, which proves that he has strong ability to do things.
Despite this, Lin Mai still planned to see all these houses with his own eyes when he had time.
After Zheng Xudong left, Lin Mai and Ren Baozhu continued to discuss the issue of expanding the scale of Lily Headwear.
Lily Headwear is the same as Unico Clothing. To expand its scale, it will need to change to a larger factory.
What Lin Mai meant was that since the garment factory was going to be built anyway, the current factory building would definitely be vacant in the future, so it would be better to use this factory building to open the Lily Headwear Factory.
Ren Baozhu was silent and said: "I don't know what year or month it was to build the new clothing factory, but we can't wait any longer to expand the production of Lily headwear, otherwise we will miss the National Day, New Year's Day and Spring Festival sales."
"Who made you wait? We can rent a factory to expand production first.
When the new factory building is built, the garment factory will move to the new factory building, and this factory building will be empty, and then Lily Headwear will be moved in."
Ren Baozhu nodded: "Okay, I'll rent the factory later."
Lin Mai added: "Our Lily Headwear can't just sell headwear, otherwise the varieties will be too few, the scale will be too large, and there will be more employees, and the profits will drop."
"Then...in addition to selling headwear, what else does Mr. Lin plan to sell?"
"Bracelets, brooches, earrings, earrings...all the accessories, all in one place."
Since the mainland does not have its own well-known jewelry brand in this era, nor does it have any foreign jewelry brands, Lin Mai decided to seize the opportunity and turn Lily jewelry into a big brand like Swarovski.
This requires production lines and jewelry designers.
Although there are no professional jewelry designers in China in this era, there are prop masters who specialize in making jewelry in film studios.
The accessories in those costume dramas and Republic of China dramas were all designed by them, and many of them are very beautiful.
Lin Mai planned to ask Tao Zhiyun to go on a business trip to hire some retired jewelry and prop masters.
It’s hard to hire those who are in office, as they have a well-established system, but it will be easy to hire those who are retired.
Mr. Zheng is an example.
Lin Mai wanted Tao Zhiyun to take this trip because, as a fashion designer, she has the most sensitive sense of fashion and is easiest to hire the right person.
The problem of production lines is not difficult to solve.
You can also buy it by asking those state-owned jewelry manufacturers where their production lines are purchased.
