Chapter 208: Busy

What’s the situation with autumn recruitment?

Ning Xiaojing was stunned. Before the boss came back, he had anticipated that the boss might come to the company first to deal with various information and work.

Relevant preparations have also been made.

However, the human resources department has always been responsible for recruitment, and the autumn recruitments are generally students. Apart from participating in interviews when recruiting senior executives, the boss rarely asks about student recruitment.

She said a little awkwardly: "The autumn recruitment is almost over, and the relevant information has not been compiled yet."

Guo Yang thought for a moment and said, "The students recruited in the autumn are important fresh blood for the company. Please compile a list for me later, including their schools, majors, positions, etc. It would be better if they have background information such as family background."

College students born in 05 are still very valuable. If they are in coastal areas, graduates with technical skills will have to pay at least several thousand yuan.

But this is in the northwest, and the major is agriculture, so the salary is naturally not that high.

In his previous life, after graduation, Guo Yang met a senior who also graduated in 05. At that time, he had two job choices.

One is to go to the Corps company, and the other is to the corn seed company run by a school professor.

My senior finally went to the professor’s seed company because the monthly salary was 600 yuan.

Of course, more than ten or twenty years later, this became the decision he regretted most in his life.

The candidates recruited by Jiahe Group come from various agricultural schools in the northwest, but compared with joining a company, these people are more interested in joining the system.

Some ambitious graduate students even responded to the call to support the construction of difficult border areas. Many years later, most of them had good political prospects.

They are either the directors of local agricultural bureaus, county governors, or even higher positions.

In order to compete with the system and research institutes for new forces, Jiahe also offered extremely attractive salaries.

College students who are willing to come can get 1000 yuan per month. The better the school and the higher the academic qualifications, the higher the salary.

Come back to your senses.

Although Ning Xiaojing felt it was very tedious, she had to do it since her boss had given her the order.

After putting down some documents that needed to be processed, Ning Xiaojing put on her high heels, cursed him inwardly as an old bachelor, and left with the floor thumping loudly.

Guo Yang looked at her back strangely. Even with her coat on, he could still see that she had a good figure.

Just has a bit of a weird temper.

What's up? Your boss assigned you some work, and you still have objections?
I sat comfortably on the chair. The two ears of corn on the cob were still there, but they were not covered with patina.

After taking a short break, Guo Yang started to deal with his work and was busy until the evening.

Luo Xiu appeared in the office and reminded him, "Boss, it's time to get off work."

Guo Yang looked up and saw through the window that it was getting dark. He checked the time and it was just past 6 o'clock.

I got up, opened the window and took a breath of fresh air, and the cold wind rushed in in my face.

The temperature outside has dropped below zero. Looking at the mysterious Qilian Mountains in the night, Guo Yang thought that the grassroots should have also adjusted their work and rest schedules.

I don’t know how the work before winter is going.

"Let's go, eat first."

When Guo Yang came out, he found Ning Xiaojing still busy at her workstation with the air conditioner on and her coat off.

Revealing a pure white sweater.

Guo Yang took a closer look and saw that he was probably sorting out the information of new employees recruited through campus recruitment. He frowned.

"You can ask the HR department to sort these out before giving them to you!"

Ning Xiaojing looked up and said, "This was sent by the subsidiary. I'll just sort it out and add some more information."

Guo Yang still felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say much. "Let's go and eat first?"

"What to eat?"

"The cafeteria. I haven't eaten there for a long time. I miss it."

Ning Xiaojing pursed her lips, "You guys go eat, I'll work overtime for a while."

"Why? You're tired of eating in the cafeteria."

"No, I just feel uncomfortable when I think about the work that is not done."

Guo Yang didn't know what was wrong with her and ignored her. He went to the cafeteria with Luo Xiu and had a delicious bowl of mutton noodles.

When he returned to the office, he found that Ning Xiaojing had left, but the documents about the new employee were placed on his desk.

Guo Yang just picked it up and looked at it.

The total number of campus recruitments, covering colleges and universities, is 282 in total. It seems like a lot, but when broken down, it is still too small.

Especially alfalfa and tianhe.

Tianhe currently has 2262 employees, but only 81 of them are college students;
Muhe currently has 878 employees, and the number of campus recruits is also only 38;
Fengkai Agricultural Machinery currently has a stable staff of around 6000 people. After this upgrade and expansion, it is expected to add another 117 to people. This time, people were also recruited;
There are more than 200 people in Quanwang Biology, and 20 new people have joined.

...

In general, the educational background structure of Jiahe’s personnel is too unreasonable, especially at the grassroots level.

For example, many of the old technicians at the seed production base or grassroots sales staff only have a high school or even junior high school education.

Although Guo Yang does not only focus on academic qualifications, there are indeed huge hidden dangers for large companies.

Especially if you want to build your own seed production base, you will inevitably need scale, agricultural mechanization, and intelligence, and the higher the academic qualifications, the more suitable it is.

The same is true for alfalfa.

In the United States, a 3-acre alfalfa farm can be managed by only 3-5 people to complete all the planting, management, harvesting and processing.

What about alfalfa?
On average, 8-9 workers and managers who are skilled in operating agricultural machinery are needed for every mu of land, not including processing, storage, transportation, etc.

In total, 17 to 18 people are needed for every acres of land.

This is the gap.

At this stage, China has an advantage in labor costs, and Jiahe is willing and able to shoulder this social responsibility.

But what about the future?

Suppose the area managed by Alfalfa increases to millions of acres, tens of millions of acres, or even more... Guo Yang thought that in the early stage, in order to expand, the quality of Jiahe's grassroots employees was uneven, but they also made contributions to the group.

We can't optimize people for no reason.

Although a lot of people were recruited from the middle and senior management, there were many people with connections and problems. There were only a few senior executives with rich experience in grassroots work.

Many people are just in name only.

It really proves the saying that this world is just a makeshift team.

The same is true for Jiahe.

It would be better to train them ourselves and plan for recruitment, but college students are very valuable nowadays and there are too few college students willing to work in agriculture.

Guo Yang has a deep understanding of this.

For a moment, Guo Yang was at a loss.

I had to go back and rest first.

The next day, after drinking a glass of Qilian Mountain fresh milk, Guo Yang felt like he was coming back to life.

This can be considered a benefit of Jiahe headquarters. The cafeteria supplies fresh milk every morning.

After breakfast, Guo Yang went to Tianhe’s processing plant to take a look.

In the production workshop, three seed processing lines are operating in an orderly manner.

Corn seeds with full grains pass through a no-drop conveying system and fall steadily into the packaging machine.

Bags of high-quality finished seeds, loaded with farmers' hopes for a good harvest, are neatly stacked in three-dimensional warehouses.

The scene was filled with busy work.

Looking at the production workshop that had changed a lot, Guo Yang asked, "Has the seed production line been upgraded again?"

Yan Qun accompanied Guo Yang today, and the focus of production has shifted from Datian back to the factory.

Yan Qun smiled and said, "Yes, it has been running smoothly for a month, working 16 hours a day, and each production line can produce and process 9 kilograms of corn seeds."

Guo Yang did a quick calculation and sighed, "The production task is very tight."

"Yes, with more than 2 million kilograms of corn seeds, three factories, and nine production lines, it will take until February for the full operation to start. Areas that plant early in the spring will start planting in March."

"We also need to find time to process some vegetable seeds for the market."

Yan Qun looked quite helpless. While the market for Tianyu No. 1 was booming, it also brought tremendous pressure to the production work.

From the fields to the factory, I thought that life would be more relaxed in winter. In fact, apart from not having to bask in the sun, the pressure is still there.

Guo Yang also knew that these were all the aftereffects of expanding too quickly.

He didn't sleep well last night. Jiahe's pace was too fast and there were too many problems left in management.

Maybe it needs to slow down a bit.

Guo Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Alfalfa still has more than 10 million kilograms of forage seeds that have not been processed, and we are counting on Tianhe to help."

Yan Qun waved his hand. "That may not be possible. The machines are so busy that they are almost smoking."

"Some time ago, there was a serious shortage of Bantian carrot seeds imported from the island country in Fujian Province. A small can of 10 seeds, which is only enough for 2.5 acres, was sold at a market price from 3800 yuan to 1.3 yuan per can."

Guo Yang frowned. That means the average investment in seeds for each acre of carrots would cost several thousand yuan.

"What about the Super Red Core? How is its market acceptance there?" Guo Yang asked.

Super Red Core is naturally a variety bred by the seed shop.

Yan Qun looked helpless, "Carrots in the northwest are usually planted in spring, while those in Fujian prefer to be planted in autumn and then shipped before the New Year."

"By the time the merchants from Fujian Province came to us, the packaged super red cores had already been sold out."

Sakata Co., Ltd. is one of the most famous vegetable seed companies in the island country.

In addition to carrots, Chinese cabbage and ribbed loofah are also its most representative vegetable seeds.

Guo Yang felt a little bit sorry because the carrot industry in Fujian Province was well developed and the carrots from Putian and Jinjiang were quite famous.

But in Tianhe's market segmentation, Fujian Province is classified as a Class C market, which means it depends on fate.

Merchants not only have to take the initiative to contact, but also have to pay the full amount to get the goods.

Tianhe really does not have the energy to expand into the C-class market and can only live a comfortable life for another year.

After visiting Tianhe’s factory, we went to Alfalfa’s seed factory, which only had one pitiful production line.

The government had been working hard since mid-September, but only last month did it distribute more than 9 million kilograms of seeds from the National Grain and Agricultural Development Group.

There are still nearly 1700 million seeds, and it will take another half a year if there are no problems with the production line.

But this kind of work intensity is just like Liu Xiang's high-intensity participation in major competitions. It is hard not to have problems.

All the factories are very busy, the machines in the workshops continue to roar, and the workers are fully focused.

The workers joked: "We are so busy that we don't even have a chance to rest."

Without having to look, Guo Yang knew that the same situation existed with Fengkai Agricultural Machinery.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, production capacity could not keep up.

Each link is closely linked to each other. The seed production lines of Tianhe and Muhe are both from Fengkai. If you rashly change to other manufacturers, it is likely to be counterproductive.

This has led to the current situation.

After Guo Yang returned to the office, he first asked the people in the Strategic Investment Department to take the lead in preparing the plans for each subsidiary company for the next year.

Ning Xiaojing still seemed uninterested, and no one knew what was wrong.

Guo Yang still didn't ask more questions. Women always have those days in a month.

I asked him to bring the Olympic marketing materials of Hexi Dairy prepared by the marketing department and read them carefully.

The director of the Olympic Committee's market development department has already arrived in Jiuquan. He has a dinner party in the evening and a signing ceremony tomorrow.

There will be a lot of reporters coming to the scene, so you have to prepare some food.
