Work Arrangements for Each Department

Factory construction, fund allocation, and finally, sales system arrangements.

These also need to be finalized as soon as possible before the factory is even completed.

Generally speaking, the basic model for car companies to bring products to market is to find dealer partners, who then establish the traditional 4S store model.

Regarding dealers, Jiuzhou Automobile has had some come to talk about cooperation, but not many. People from two or three surrounding cities have come to discuss it.

However, Xu Yifan shut them all down and did not agree to the dealer proposals.

Instead of cooperating with dealers, he decided to adopt a direct sales approach. He would arrange the sales personnel they had cultivated to be stationed in various cities within the province to establish their own brand's directly operated stores.

With the system in place, each store could be incorporated into the system's management scope, making management more convenient. At the same time, pricing could be lower, passing the savings on to consumers. Lower prices would attract more consumers.

Currently, Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, although it has a bit of a reputation in the surrounding cities.

But in a time when the internet was not yet very developed, beyond the surrounding area, it was still an obscure small factory.

Especially for the Jiuzhou Mini and the upcoming two-wheeled electric vehicle products, they are not like electronic products that are easily sold online.

The target consumer group is mostly elderly people who do not frequently use the internet. Coupled with after-sales service and other issues, establishing their own directly operated brand stores is very necessary and can also cover after-sales service.

Of course, the current sales personnel are still not enough to be fully deployed to open stores in major cities across the province, so some time is still needed.

At this time, the batch of sales personnel trained earlier will come in handy.

Select outstanding sales personnel from this group to open Jiuzhou stores in a few surrounding cities first.

Once again, the experienced will train the new, and after a few months, when the production capacity of the Jiuzhou Mini significantly increases, more directly operated stores can be opened.

It is estimated that it will take about two months to produce the Jiuzhou Mini equipped with the new lithium iron phosphate battery. By then, the newly trained sales personnel should also be ready.

Once this batch of sales personnel is deployed again, they can cover the entire SC province.

Then, recruit another batch of sales personnel willing to develop business in various provinces, and steadily advance, gradually encroaching on the entire domestic market.

This sales channel can be used not only for the current Jiuzhou Mini but also for future two-wheeled electric vehicles.

Even for future new energy electric vehicles, although efforts should be made to separate them from the sales stores for previous low-speed electric vehicles and two-wheeled electric vehicles, having this channel in place can make it easier to establish sales channels and 4S stores for new energy vehicles.

This is a difficult path, but once successfully established, it can operate stably for a long time and is relatively simple to manage.

Thoughts flashed rapidly, and Xu Yifan's next work plan was already filled on a piece of paper.

After a long while, the pen stopped.

Xu Yifan looked at the densely written text in his notebook.

"For now, these are all the work priorities I can think of for the foreseeable future.

There may be some urgent matters that need to be handled later, and we'll deal with them then.

At the same time, regarding construction, some ideas are still quite basic, and I may encounter many problems later, but we'll take it as it comes.

I'm just formulating the strategy; the specific implementation still needs to be handed over to professionals."

Checking the time, there were still more than ten minutes left from the previously scheduled one hour.

Holding the leather-bound notebook, Xu Yifan headed straight for the conference room.

As soon as he entered the conference room, all eyes turned to him.

The company's department managers were already seated at their respective positions, chatting with their colleagues.

Xu Yifan said with some surprise, "Everyone's here so early."

Zhou Fengyan, a man in his fifties, chuckled, "I went back to the production line for a look. Seeing that there were no problems, I came right over."

He Minghao, the head of the purchasing department, said with slight excitement, "Everyone is discussing how to carry out the next phase of work. With expansion funds, land, and policy support from the Jiangzhou government, and soon our own patented technology, everything is moving in a positive direction."

Ma Youlong, the HR manager and one of the veterans, sighed, "Compared to the previous factory that went bankrupt, the changes in the past few months have been too great, too fast, and the future changes will be even better!"

Feng Mingyuan from logistics said, "I'm so excited! If everything goes smoothly, our factory's scale will multiply several times over by next year at the latest!"

Dr. Lu Jingping from the R&D department pondered, "What role will each of our departments play in the upcoming factory development work..."

Ji Shenghai, the sales manager, said enthusiastically, "Our factory is about to undergo major development again! I'm really looking forward to seeing what scale our factory will reach in a few months or a year.

According to Factory Director Xu's previous plan, our sales team will likely need to expand significantly!"

Wen Ye, the 32-year-old manager of the finance department, said with some trepidation, "Dealing with the bank, this is the first time handling such a large amount of funds, but I will do my best, with the government's cooperation, to secure lower loan interest rates for the factory."

Lin Wanxia, the beautiful "vase," looked at Xu Yifan with admiration, her face full of respect.

"It's only been a few months since I joined Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, and we're already undergoing another major expansion. The Boss is truly amazing!"

Being brought along, in a few months, she'll be the secretary to the head of a major company!

Under him, his generals were all eager to take on more responsibilities in the upcoming factory expansion.

The relatively young management team, coupled with Xu Yifan's careful selection, gave the entire management team a sense of drive. Even Zhou Fengyan, who was previously quite laid-back, was motivated to be more enthusiastic about his work.

Xu Yifan smiled slightly, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting directly. The sooner we arrange things, the sooner everyone can start preparing."

As Xu Yifan took his seat at the head of the conference room, everyone consciously quieted down, awaiting the start of the meeting.

Xu Yifan spoke calmly, "Let me outline the general work arrangements for everyone moving forward."

"First, the HR department, Manager Ma, your department will be busy again!"

"We guarantee the mission will be completed!" After agreeing, Ma Youlong took out his notebook to record the Boss's upcoming arrangements.

Nodding slightly, Xu Yifan continued, "Since we're expanding, the factory needs talent reserves in all aspects.

Each department also needs more talent, and these tasks fall to the HR department. Next, each department will submit an estimated number of recruits, which will then be handed over to Manager Ma for recruitment."

The department managers all nodded slightly.

"Then, the two new factory buildings that will be established require a batch of operational workers.

We need to recruit experienced individuals who can become core production team leaders, or we can train people from scratch.

In short, I need the factory buildings to be ready for immediate use as soon as they are completed. This requires the production and HR departments to oversee it closely."

"This group will initially be managed by Manager Zhou from the production department."

"Understood," Production Manager Zhou Fengyan nodded.

"Mhm!" Manager Ma indicated he understood, his pen diligently recording.

Xu Yifan smiled slightly, "Don't rush, there are other tasks your HR department needs to complete.

The company plans to establish a construction department, which will be temporarily managed by the logistics department."

Feng Mingyuan, in charge of logistics, nodded in agreement, "Yes, Boss!"

Xu Yifan then continued speaking to Manager Ma of the HR department, "The construction department needs to recruit civil engineering employees with project management experience. Half should be university graduates, and half should be experienced senior employees.

A total of about thirty people. I need a construction department formed to be responsible for the upcoming factory construction.

These thirty people will be for construction management. For specific construction workers, we can hire a batch temporarily or cooperate with local construction companies on projects."

Xu Yifan laid out his entire plan for constructing the factory.

He believed that over the next few years, the construction department of the Jiuzhou factory would be kept very busy.

From the current lithium iron phosphate battery factory, the two-wheeled electric vehicle factory, to the construction of various automotive parts production plants in the future.

Even the future new energy electric vehicle factory buildings, and perhaps even production plants for when Jiuzhou Automobile ventures into other fields!

All of this would rely on the factory's construction department to manage and supervise construction progress and engineering quality.

Even if the department didn't build everything itself, it should at least ensure that outsourced construction companies completed the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory's construction goals compliantly and without incurring losses.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals as much as possible, while Xu Yifan only needed to oversee the big picture with the system's assistance.

Next, the meeting continued, with Xu Yifan assigning the responsibilities for each department one by one.

The HR department had the most tasks. They could first expand their staff and then proceed with the numerous upcoming recruitment efforts.

The logistics department needed to expand to accommodate the growing number of company employees and ensure the well-being of all staff.

Regarding the security department, Lian Ming'an stated that a platoon of soldiers, around thirty people, would be sufficient to ensure the factory's safety.

For the R&D department, Xu Yifan had other plans. After the lithium iron phosphate battery technology research and development was completed, some personnel would be arranged to take their overdue New Year holidays, while others would prepare for the newly built battery production plant, turning the technology into products, followed by rotating rest.

According to Xu Yifan's arrangements, the sales department would establish new Jiuzhou stores in three nearby cities. This was expected to take half a month to a month to complete, after which they would need to recruit and train new sales personnel.

The finance department would be responsible for liaising with official personnel and banks to finalize loan matters, as well as the disbursement of salaries for newly hired employees.

The production department would ensure the ongoing production of Jiuzhou Mini while organizing the newly recruited technical core members for the lithium iron phosphate battery plant and the two-wheeled electric vehicle production plant to learn and teach production techniques to a batch of employees.

Additionally, the production department would inquire about some current high-performing employees based on a list provided by Xu Yifan.

Those willing to work on the Jiuzhou Mini production lines at the two newly established factories would be given the opportunity to become team leaders after diligently learning the technology, receiving focused training from the factory!

The procurement department would handle the procurement of various construction materials and production materials.

This included the preparatory procurement of raw materials for the two new factory buildings, as well as the procurement of various factory uniforms for the increased number of employees.

Alongside the work arrangements, some issues Xu Yifan hadn't anticipated were raised by the department managers, and solutions were discussed collectively.

The meeting continued until 5:30 PM.

It was only then that the department managers left, carrying their work notebooks filled with several pages of notes.

Quitting time. For the next period, everyone's work would be quite busy!

Unknowingly, we've reached 110,000 characters, and only one product has been released. Orange didn't expect this either.

The cheat isn't too powerful; to be as reasonable and realistic as possible, all aspects of factory development have been considered and written out.

If there are any issues Orange hasn't noticed or has written incorrectly, please feel free to point them out, esteemed readers!

With the arrangements mostly done, it's time to accelerate!

Our rivals, the domestic car companies still searching for revenue streams, and even BYD, which currently relies solely on the F3!
