Chapter 272: New facilities at the old factory

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: New facilities at the old factory Everyone was not disappointed that they had not been able to get a bargain, but instead they all relaxed. Although this was a minor issue, it revealed a lot. Although the words were a bit awkward, that was really what had happened.

Many things seem simple, but it is only when you do them that you realise the complexity involved. They had worked very hard, and were therefore a little nervous about the emergence of a strong competitor.

Of course, they weren't afraid of competition, but wouldn't it be better if there was no competition? After what had just happened, everyone felt much more relaxed. If they had been in charge, there would have been many ways to avoid similar low-level mistakes.

Jin Ling came out after them. The driver looked at the six people crowding into one car and said with some disdain, 'What hicks!'

'Nowadays, a lot of hicks have money!' The secretary muttered as well. She recognised Zhou Xinyu's car, which was even better than the Audi assigned to Jin Ling.

Feng Yiping was a little disappointed that the unexpected windfall of more than 2,000 yuan had almost been in his hands, and then it had flown away. The two-odd-yuan money he had now was enough for him to take someone to the Shengmeng Seafood Restaurant for a very hearty meal.

It was just a joke, and it wasn't mainly about the money. If Zhou Xinyu and the others had called a car to take the five tons of salt back to the company now, the morale of the company would have risen at least five points.

Tonight, they didn't go home for dinner either. He took Huang Jingping to Jiasheng Metal Products Factory. The factory buildings here had not yet been built, the ground was still being paved, and the greening was still being done, but the new canteen was already in use.

This was also something Feng Yiping insisted on doing. In the original aluminium products factory, since Fat Liu had outsourced the canteen to his relatives, the employees had been cooking at home, because the food was delicious and cost-effective.

At Feng Yiping's request, the factory purchased a set of electrified kitchenware, which is efficient and hygienic.

Then, the families of the employees who were interested in working in the cafeteria were asked to compete in a small cooking competition, and the two most popular were arranged to work in the cafeteria.

Everyone can eat for free, they just need to register. At the end of the month, the finance department will add up all the meal costs for the month, divide it by the total number of meals, and get the cost per meal. After that, each person's meal costs will be directly deducted from their salary.

In short, the main reason for running this canteen is to make things more convenient for everyone. It doesn't make a single penny, but instead has to subsidise the costs every month. Not to mention the depreciation of the equipment, the company also has to bear the salary of the two newly recruited cooks.

Feng Yiping always felt that if a company even makes a profit from its employees' food expenses, it is not only stingy but also has no ambition.

The old man who was the guard of course recognised the car. Apart from opening the door for them, he also came running out and waited by the door. Feng Yiping told him several times that this was unnecessary, but he was still so attentive. There was nothing they could do but put up with it.

The canteen was built next to the office building, a small two-storey building with a total of 50 integrated four-person tables on the upper and lower floors. The tables and stools were processed in the factory themselves, with the table tops and stool surfaces covered in stainless steel, which was neat and easy to clean. Ding Qiang also said that this could be marketed as a product.

There were no slogans on the walls of the dining hall either. Of course, the dining hall had rules, but Feng Yiping always felt that it was not standardised and not very useful to casually post some rules or requirements on the walls or doors, so it was enough for everyone to remember them in their hearts.

The canteen was already very lively at this time of day, and there were quite a lot of workers eating here. Everyone understood the calculations, and on average, eating in the canteen was more cost-effective than eating at home. Feng Yiping saw at the door that some people even took several meals home with them, so they didn't need to turn on the fire at home.

'Today's not bad,' Feng Yiping looked at the menu on the door. The meat dishes were braised pork ribs and stir-fried pork with garlic chives, as well as stir-fried bean curd puffs, stir-fried cabbage, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The soup was radish and pork ribs soup.

'The canteen's pork ribs are tastier than mine, so why can't I learn to cook them like that?' Huang Jingping was a little annoyed.

'Don't worry, it has nothing to do with your skill, but with the fire. The temperature of the canteen stove is almost twice as high as ours at home, so of course the taste is different.'

'Really! So what I cook here will taste the same as what they cook?'

'Definitely better than what they cook!'

'Hee hee,' although she knew that his words were meant to please her, Huang Jingping was still a little happy to hear them.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard the greetings of 'Boss Feng' and 'Young Boss Feng' echoing endlessly, and they were all shouting at the top of their lungs. Feng Yiping wanted them to call him by his name, but everyone still liked to call him Boss. Some people even called Huang Jingping Boss's Wife, making her feel so shy.

Feng Zhenchang should be the one who enjoys this kind of scene the most. Feng Yiping doesn't object, but he doesn't like it either. You don't have to be so enthusiastic with me, just be enthusiastic about your work.

'Yiping is here!' He and Huang Jingping came to the food pick-up area with a stainless steel tray. The chef in charge of cooking greeted him warmly, "Have some stir-fried garlic chives with meat." Only one meat dish was available, and there was no choice for the other three vegetarian dishes. "Then I'll have a pork chop," Huang Jingping followed behind, not wanting to have both meat dishes. The meal fee was shared equally, and such trivial matters were most annoying.

Amidst the greetings from everyone, the two of them walked upstairs and saw that a few people from the convenience store were also eating here. In the past, they couldn't control their meal situation, but now they finally had the means to do so.

Of course, the pace of eating still had to be kept up. Who let him still be a high school student, and a third-year student at that? Just Huang Jingping, these days, has also followed him in exercising, maintaining an elegant posture while not slowing down.

Before leaving the factory, he went to the bathroom again, which had also been remodeled at his personal request. In terms of hardware, it was currently not inferior to the municipal party committee guesthouse.

He had only been reborn, not become a genius. Although he had been to many factories, he had never worked in a workshop. Although he had read some documents and specifications from the original aluminum products factory, he really had no experience in how to manage a factory. He only knew one thing: the bathroom of a factory could show the management level and worker quality of a factory.

Anyone who has spent time on the coast knows that when foreigners with an intention to place an order come to inspect a factory, one thing they will definitely do is go to the factory toilets. This is a very straightforward thing to do, and from the hygiene conditions and per capita conditions, you can get a general idea of the factory.

Feng Yiping has been to many factories selling products and has also summed up some experience.

For example, those with good bathroom hardware but poor maintenance, no toilet paper, and sloppy hygiene, dirty taps, and not all of them able to release water, are generally state-owned enterprises.

Those with good hardware and acceptable hygiene, and which provide toilet paper, are generally private enterprises with aspirations.

Those with good hardware and excellent hygiene, with incense burning inside and water-saving taps, are undoubtedly Taiwanese-funded enterprises.

Those with excellent hardware, such as bathroom facilities from well-known brands, with hand sanitiser, toilet paper and a dryer, are definitely well-known foreign enterprises with deep pockets.

Feng Yiping built this one, which fully incorporates the actual situation and combines all the above advantages. There is a dedicated person responsible for hygiene, who cleans it every two hours. Incense is lit inside, and the bathroom facilities are high-quality products. There is toilet paper and a dryer. I also want to buy a water-saving faucet, but it's not easy to buy right now. The whole society still doesn't have a good understanding of the concept of water conservation.

Feng Yiping experienced the canteen and the bathroom today and was quite satisfied.

These two facilities may seem inconspicuous, but getting these two aspects right can directly affect staff cohesion and imperceptibly change some of their bad habits, promoting the development of good qualities. It is not to be underestimated.
