Chapter 321: Chapter 312: Initial Results

"See that, everyone? Take a good look, genuine RMB. Since I’ve made a promise, I must act on it first. I will pay you two months’ salaries in advance, and it will be twice as much as your usual monthly salary. As long as you meet the targets, the money will keep coming, and it will be more and more. Once performance goes up, triple or quadruple is not a problem. In other words, from today on, there’s no monthly salary at the August 1st Factory; it’s all about living on your true skills!" Lin Mu said to the workers below,

"But if anyone fails to meet the minimum performance targets, then sorry, this salary will be their last!"

Faced with Lin Mu’s promise, and coupled with immediate action, the workers had no reason not to believe. This was a promise of real money—a two-month salary paid in advance! How could this not excite them? This surely gave everyone a taste of the good life!

One has to admit that Lin Mu’s method is quite radical! Using money directly captured the restless hearts of the workers. In this world, perhaps only money has such powerful influence. Not only does it capture women, but it also snares the tough men.

"Alright, we support Boss Lin, support Boss Lin!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and then the surrounding people began to chant, "Support Boss Lin, support Boss Lin!"

Looking at the excited workers below, Lin Mu couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction. Standing next to him, Chen Dawei glanced at Lin Mu, and immediately his heart was filled with admiration. Truly a decisive big boss! At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to work diligently with the new boss because he believed Boss Lin was not someone to shortchange his people, and it seemed he had influence in both the black and white worlds. Those burly tattooed shirtless guys were definitely from the underworld!

Meanwhile, standing in the back, Section Chief Li wore a gloomy face, looking unusually discomfited. He hadn’t expected Lin Mu to come up with such a fundamental approach to handle the troubled workers. For ordinary workers living on the bottom rung, the best incentive is undoubtedly money!

"President Chen, I have other matters to attend to. Please take care of the salary distribution," Lin Mu then turned to Chen Dawei and said.

Chen Dawei nodded, "No worries, Boss Lin!"

After speaking, Chen Dawei stepped forward, "Alright, everyone, quickly get to work. From now on, you can’t keep the same slack work attitude as before. Otherwise, take the two months’ pay and go home to take care of the kids. Does everyone have confidence to meet this month’s targets?"

With money as motivation, the workers were all very excited, "Confident, unconditional achievement of performance targets!"

Chen Dawei waved his hand, announcing the method and schedule for the payment, after which the workers dispersed cheerfully to their tasks. Now they had a clear target to work toward, and that target was pretty much the maximum performance they could achieve with all their efforts. Lin Mu was very smart. He had consulted the beautiful CEO Sophie and brought in several senior operation action analysts from Su’s Great Enterprise. Based on the actual conditions of the steel factory, they specifically developed maximum efficiency guidelines for each process, using the highest efficiency as a full score. The highest scorers would get the best performance rewards, and the rest in descending order. This way, almost everyone could unleash their maximum potential, creating maximum profit in the process!

And the workers were working hard, eager to finish all the tasks in the shortest time possible because doing less work meant earning less money than others! If you lose out, it’s your own fault. So now they were competing to work, eager to earn three months’ pay in one month!

The emotional issues of the workers at Bayi Steel Group were resolved, so Lin Mu drove to Four Directions Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The situation here was relatively better than that at Bayi Steel Group. At least the workers here weren’t as agitated about the state-owned enterprise being transferred to a private one.

Similarly, to stimulate the workers’ enthusiasm, it had to be done with money, using benefits to stir their work spirits. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical factory faced absolute technical problems. Lin Mu came up with a new strategy—to allocate extra funds to the company’s research institute for the development of a new drug. Once the new drug hit the market, he would increase TV advertising, throwing more money into the ads, possibly broadcasting continuously on CCAV. This could have a promotional effect on potential buyers, and considering the removal of ad costs, it would be a significant net gain. Comparatively, it was much easier and cheaper to earn money with a pharmaceutical factory than with a steel factory.

Think about it, in today’s society, baby formula contains melamine, cooking oil is mixed with gutter oil, jelly is made of silicone, and the buns in supermarkets are expired. In such a society, how can there be a lack of sick people? In some places like Sichuan and Yunnan, it’s true that no toxic food has been discovered, but these places are often hit by earthquakes. The damage from earthquakes also needs medicine for treatment!

So, wherever there are people living, there will be sick people. And when sick, people need medicine. The larger the population base, the greater the demand for medicine. If your ads reach nationwide or even worldwide, imagine the commercial value in that!

The reason the pharmaceutical factory faced closure was due to a lack of breakthrough technological advancements. Of course, this wasn’t an issue of personnel quality, but rather a corporate system issue. Low wages left research staff uninspired. Consider how that small amount of money isn’t enough for a wife and kids. How can they have the energy to develop something like the H7N8 virus? It’s none of their business if it poisons you. They don’t get a dime from it, right? So Lin Mu decided to push for breakthroughs in drug research. Naturally, without rewarding incentives, or if the rewards are too low, nobody would even think about engaging in research.

Thus, Lin Mu approached the general manager of Four Directions Pharmaceutical, Shi Dakai, and implemented a comprehensive management plan he had learned from Sophie. He significantly increased the R&D bonuses, with the amount of the rewards reaching as much as three hundred thousand or even five hundred thousand, which was definitely an enticing bonus that greatly enhanced the researchers’ enthusiasm.

In the end, it only took Lin Mu a week to invest the 100 million that Sophie allocated to him into Four Directions Pharmaceutical and Bayi Steel Group. Moreover, Lin Mu renamed the pharmaceutical factory and steel company to "Flying Dragon Group." Lin Mu secretly resolved to make the name "Flying Dragon" a household name! Can’t make it famous? Use advertisements! With a vast platform like CCAV, where can’t you flaunt it? As CCAV’s ads say: The bigger your heart, the bigger the stage! Look, how much that sounds like nonsense! Except, CCAV’s ad fees are ridiculously costly, charging by the second, a million RMB per second! Damn CCAV, might as well rob the Central Bank!
