Chapter 353 This is the new generation of youth
It has been several years since the beverage factory in Tsuen Wan was opened. It has expanded from a few acres of land at the beginning to more than ten acres.

The high wall was covered with broken glass and barbed wire. There were many trucks coming in and out of the south gate, busy transporting goods.

There were about 10 people standing guard at the factory gate, forming a team. All of them were in high spirits, but they were not carrying any weapons. They only had alloy steel sticks with a sharp end on their waists.

Wang Deming's Mercedes-Benz led the way, followed by a row of luxury cars, mainly Rolls-Royces. After rolling down the window and saying a few words to the squad leader on duty, he was the first to drive into the factory.

The security personnel for the entire factory were selected from retired soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi by Wang Deming, who asked Mr. Huo to ask the organization for help. There were not many of them, only a company's worth of soldiers.

As for whether there are hot weapons or not, that is something that only the British devils consider.

There is a large flower bed in the open space in the factory square, and the ground is paved with cement. The car is parked directly in front of the 5-story logistics building on the south side.

There are now a total of five production plants in the beverage factory, which, together with the logistics building, are arranged in a triangular shape. The open space in the middle of the plant is also planted with poinciana and palm trees. The breeze blows, bringing bursts of fragrance.

Both the factory buildings and logistics areas are very clean, and there are special rest areas for workers to take short breaks such as smoking and drinking water. There are no pretentious management by foremen or section heads.

When Wang Deming led this large group of bosses over, many workers, both men and women, greeted him with a smile: "Hey, what festival is it today? Are so many big bosses here for inspection?"

"Haha, I came to our beverage factory to exchange and learn."

"Well, we should learn from you. Look at how many people outside want to work in our factory. When the news of our factory expansion and recruitment spread, people from the New Territories came over."

"Okay, you guys continue to rest, I'll take my friends around."

Mr. Bao and the others were very surprised to see that there was no barrier between Wang Deming and the workers and they were chatting casually.

In their view, workers will not work hard unless there is a carrot hanging in front of their heads; if the factory does not use various management methods learned from the West, such as this department or that regulation, it cannot be considered a modern enterprise.

Wang Deming led a group of people to stroll back and forth in several production workshops. The workers on the production line just nodded when they saw them, and their hands did not stop working.

Mr. Bao and his friends were very surprised. "Deming, although I have shares in this beverage factory, I have never even seen the financial data. I really didn't expect it to be like this. Yingdong, have you been to visit it?"

Mr. Huo smiled and nodded. "I only come here occasionally. We really don't need to worry about the factory here. The workers can solve all the problems by themselves."

"how could this be?"

"It's very simple. The only difference from the mainland factories is that the property there belongs to the state, while it's privately owned here." Wang Deming took them to the logistics building and explained as he walked, "In fact, this working state is the same as the working state of major factories in China. People have different abilities and can adapt to different positions, but their personalities are always the same, right?"

"You can't just say that you are a manager or an executive and you can just sit in the office every day drinking tea, reading newspapers, and then giving orders blindly, right?"

There are also offices for finance and managers in the logistics building. Their doors are all open, some of which are occupied and some are not.

"So, when I was recruiting, I made it very clear that all logistics management personnel have different salaries, which represents their abilities, but they must not be separated from front-line labor."

"Any suggestions from frontline workers must be discussed with fellow workers before being resolved." After arriving at a meeting room, Wang Deming took out a glass and tea from the glass cabinet in the meeting room, picked up the thermos and shook it, then said to the cleaning lady, "Sister-in-law, please bring us some hot water."

Everyone was very curious, "De Ming, didn't you arrange a special waiter?"

“Serving whom?”

Wang Deming stood at the door of the conference room, waiting for his aunt to fetch him some hot water. "Serving us capitalists who are so fat?"

After accepting the thermos and thanking them again, Wang Deming poured them some tea. "I think a very good policy in the mainland is that all cadres must go to the grassroots to work for a few days every month. Only in this way can they not be separated from the masses."

Suddenly, someone asked a deafening question: "Deming, we have all heard what you said."

"Alas." Wang Deming paused in pouring the water after hearing this. He did not evade the point, but used a very descriptive example to describe it: "I am the boss. I think Hong Kong's economy will take off very rapidly in 61."

"Last year, England officially included Hong Kong in the Commonwealth, which means that goods produced in Hong Kong can be freely transported throughout the Commonwealth without any barriers and with low tariffs. In addition, America developed textiles for Hong Kong in 54. In just a few years, Hong Kong's textile industry has made great strides!"

"I wonder if you have seriously studied Hong Kong's current economy? Do you know how many textile factories and workers there are now? At least hundreds of thousands!"

"So can I give the following order: I want the output value in 61 to double that in 60! Mr. Huo, Mr. Bao, if you were a middle manager of this factory, what would you do to keep your job and salary?"

Mr. Huo and Mr. Bao looked at each other in silence.

Everyone was silently thinking about Wang Deming's example.

Wang Deming sat down at the main seat and said, "Okay, suppose I propose to double the output value in 61, and you, as middle and senior managers, later tell me, the boss, that the goal you set is too low and that we should increase the output value by at least three times. I think it is unrealistic, so cut it in half and make it 1 times."

"What will you do? Blow, press, and make a wish?"

There is nothing new under the sun. Several of those present here are big bosses in the Chinese community in Hong Kong. They have all experienced the example given by Wang Deming to some extent, so they can understand it better.

Mr. Bao frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Deming, the method you mentioned may not be suitable for cargo ships. There must be a hierarchy of responsibilities on cargo ships. If there is confusion, it may not be a good thing."

"Mr. Bao, in fact, responsibilities are easy to talk about. In fact, the core of the problem lies in the distribution of benefits. As long as the distribution of benefits is done well, it is not difficult to love the factory as one's home."

Wang Deming extended his hand to signal several big bosses to drink tea. He also picked up the teacup, blew the hot air, and took a sip: "Although, I have not been in Hong Kong for a long time, so I haven't been involved in many things."

"But the news about workers' strikes can't be fake, right? We are living in luxury, eating meat, so we should at least let the workers at the bottom have a sip of soup."

"So, shouldn't we take the lead in establishing a Federation of Industry and Commerce and talk to other factory owners about workers' wages and benefits so that Hong Kong can develop better as a whole?"
