10: Meeting to arrange next steps

“Where do you get so many old sayings? And one after another!” Liu Xiaolin was amused. “I've already considered the funding issue. When signing the contract this time, I was careful and required the customer to pay an advance payment for purchasing raw materials to solve our financial difficulties.”

“Oh? There's an advance payment? Then I'm relieved!” Jiao Chaoyang immediately felt much better, his face full of smiles, the fifty-year-old man laughing like a child.

“However, I have a question! Even if the funding issue is resolved, purchasing so many raw materials in a short time is not a simple matter,” said the Minister of the Purchasing Department, Yang Xiaoxia.

“Don't we still have contact with our previous suppliers? Give them a purchasing list, buy whatever we can get first, and we'll figure out a way for the raw materials we can't get later,” Liu Xiaolin said after thinking for a moment.

“Okay, I'll make the list immediately after the meeting, and then quickly contact the previous suppliers.” The thirty-five or six-year-old Yang Xiaoxia appeared very steady.

Don't look at her young age, but she has been working at Jiangnan Machinery Factory since she first started, and it has been fifteen or sixteen years now, so she is considered an old hand at the factory.

“I also have a problem here, the 1.0t engine is a new product, our equipment is also brand new, but our employees haven't learned yet, how can we quickly make them proficient in operating the new equipment to assemble the new product?” The Minister of the Production Department, Qi Qingan, also had some doubts.

“You don't need to worry about this, I will give you an employee training manual, you need to seize the time before the raw materials arrive at the factory to organize employee training.” Liu Xiaolin's words resolved Qi Qingan's doubts again.

“That would be great! With the employee training manual, I can train them properly. I believe everyone has this learning initiative.” Qi Qingan was now relieved.

Qi Qingan looked forty-seven or eight years old; he was also an old employee, working step by step from operator to the position of Director Yao, a very steady and hardworking person.

“My question is similar to Director Qi's. Regarding quality inspection, we don't understand the new product, and we don't have an accurate principle for its parameters and quality inspection requirements. How should our Quality Inspection Department cooperate with the Production Department for the next step of work? Do our Quality Inspection Department personnel also need training?” asked the Minister of the Quality Inspection Department, Li Wei.

Forty-year-old Li Wei had a relatively loud voice, which suited her slightly plump figure. And she spoke in a rapid stream, like a machine gun.

“Of course, training for the Quality Inspection Department is also very important. But your department's training doesn't need to be conducted separately; just arrange it to be trained together with the Production Department. As long as you understand the production process and precautions, you will know how to conduct quality inspection,” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile after hearing Li Wei's rapid-fire speech.

“Understood, I will arrange for the Quality Inspection Department personnel to train together with the Production Department,” Li Wei said.

“Does our Technology Department also need to participate in the training?” chimed in the Minister of the Technology Department, Minister Tan Qilin.

“Yes, the Technology Department not only needs to participate in the training but also needs to create a detailed document of the relevant parameters and production process,” Liu Xiaolin said.

“This time in the meeting, our Sales Department is the most relaxed. General Manager Liu has already opened up the sales channels, so we don't have any problems,” Chang Zaichun said with a relaxed expression.

“Look at you, the youngest, but the laziest. At just thirty, you're already planning to lie under the trees planted by others to enjoy the shade?” Liu Xiaolin said jokingly.

“I can't help it, who made General Manager Liu plant so many big trees!” Chang Zaichun said with a smile.

“What do you mean 'can't help it'? How can the Sales Department lie flat? If the Sales Department doesn't understand the product, how can they do future sales work? If you always wait for me to step in, what's the point of having your Sales Department?” Liu Xiaolin said with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Chang Zaichun immediately became serious. “I understand, I was just kidding around. We grew up together since we were kids, who doesn't understand whom? I will participate in the Production Department's employee training with our department personnel. Don't worry, we will definitely thoroughly understand our new product and promote it to the whole world!”

After hearing this, Liu Xiaolin's expression slowly softened. “That's right. Everyone is very clear about the current situation of our factory. If we can't put our efforts together and unite our hearts, it will be difficult to make the factory bigger and stronger.”

“Yes, Old Factory Director passed away unexpectedly, and General Manager Liu stepped forward to take charge during this difficult time. This is when everyone needs to work together,” Wang Shengjun said, “So many employees in our factory are waiting to support their families, we can't be careless.”

“Yes, this factory is not only my father's hard work, but also the livelihood for all employees' families, and the hope for survival for all employees!” Liu Xiaolin said emotionally.
