When the inspection team and accompanying personnel entered a factory of Hualong Clothing Company, everyone was stunned by the environment of the factory.
The entire factory adopts the architectural style of a garden-style community. First of all, the greening of the entire factory is very good. From the outside, it does not feel like a factory at all, but a high-end residential community.
Except for a company sign hanging outside the door, there is no trace of the factory. The factory area is separated from the road by a large green belt. Not only are there trees, but there are also many flowers vying for beauty, adding a touch of beauty to this hot summer. Coolness.
When the car enters the factory, there is a very large square in front of it. During production, this square is mainly used to park trucks. In leisure time, it is used to hold activities.
After everyone got off the bus, Zi Yanran led them into the factory. Adjacent to the square in front of the door was the comprehensive office building, where all the subsidiary departments of the factory were concentrated.
Although the comprehensive office building only has 6 floors, the design is quite fashionable and grand, and the entire building area is not small. Anyway, Hualong Clothing Company is not short of money, and the land is cheap, so it has always been generous in this regard.
Zi Yanran first led the inspection team into the various departments of the complex building to take a look. In addition to the production-related departments, the most people here are the relevant auxiliary department personnel assigned by the headquarters, such as the administration department, finance department, etc., all work here.
Although the design style of the comprehensive office building is not as wild as those of the Internet companies in the previous life, it can still adopt a relaxed style while still being serious, and the internal greening is also quite good.
There is actually nothing worth investigating here. All they do is daily work. The only difference from other companies is that the staff here look relaxed and have no work anxiety.
This is because most of their work is completed by intelligent systems, and only some tasks that cannot be completed by intelligent systems need to be done by them. In addition, the working environment is comfortable, so there is no reason why it is not easy.
When Zhao saw the behavior of the staff, he obviously informed Zi Yan yesterday. Then, she definitely did not notify the people below. She said that she would let the people below do everything as usual. Just like when she entered the factory just now, she did not do it with any fanfare. Welcome ceremony.
Zhao Yi didn't say anything about Zi Yanran's arrangement. Since Zi Yanran was so confident in the company he managed, he was happy to see it succeed, and it could truly reflect the situation here.
Anyway, Hualong Apparel Company does not need special support from the government. It does not want to show credit to the government at all, unlike some companies that hope to get more support and policy preferences from the government.
And with its size reaching the level of Hualong Clothing Company, as long as the government launches preferential policies, they will definitely be indispensable. Not to mention other things, they are confident in the jobs they provide.
After walking around the complex, the delegation was led by Zi Yanran to the central production plant located in the entire factory area. The plant was not like the previous iron factory building, but a serious 5-story building.
If you want to accommodate 10,000 people working at the same time, you need a large area. In the early days of Hualong Clothing Company, in order to save time, it was a steel structure factory that occupied a very large area.
Later, these steel structure factories were slowly demolished and built into the factory we see today. The factory floor area was much smaller than it was originally. The extra land was used by Hualong Garment Company to build employee housing.
As mentioned before, employee housing has one bedroom and one living room, two bedrooms and one living room, and three bedrooms and two living rooms. The decoration is also in accordance with the normal home style, so that employees who come here can stabilize their minds.
We don't want to provide employees with dormitories like other factories, and the beds inside are either bunk beds or bunk beds. To be honest, in such a living environment, employees must have a low sense of belonging.
Moreover, these employee housing are provided free of charge. If you want a good living environment, you need to use their points to redeem it. It is an incentive measure. As long as the employees do not leave the company, it is equivalent to this house for them to live in until retirement.
This is one of the reasons why Hualong Clothing Company has made such good housing for its employees. It is to hope that they can take root in this city and thrive here.
This still reflects Zhao Yi's thoughts. He had the experience of wandering in a big city in his previous life. After being busy for more than ten years, he could never find his destination, as if he was a soul with nowhere to rest.
He has already had such an experience, and he does not want his employees to do the same. In addition, it is within his ability to provide these benefits, so it has become what it is now.
After the inspection team arrived at the production area, they followed Zi Yanran into the factory. The first floor of the production factory was not a production workshop, but a huge warehouse where goods and raw materials were temporarily stored.
It is divided into many areas, each with different functions, including storage of production raw materials, product storage, etc. Each area has several freight elevators connected to the production workshop above.
Since most clothing materials are flammable, in order to reduce the occurrence of fires, many advanced fire prevention technologies are also used. As long as there is a slight smoke, the alarm system will be triggered immediately, using the most high-end sensors from Precision Instrument Company. .
The operations of the entire warehouse have been mechanized. The workers responsible for material transportation do not work very hard. They all operate machines to complete the work.
In the huge warehouse, except for those responsible for specific work, there are no managers at all, and there is no need to worry about the loss of goods. This is a bit magical in the eyes of the inspection team.
In order to answer their doubts, Zi Yanran walked directly to a material area, picked up some materials, and then moved away for a certain distance before putting the materials back to where they were.
After returning to the inspection team, Zi Yanran took out a device similar to a handheld computer. After entering her account number, she checked the relevant modules. There was a video of her operation just now, and it also had a warning label. The following is the reason for the warning.
He handed the handheld computer to the senior advisor and explained: "Our entire production area is covered with smart cameras, which can monitor the entire factory area without blind spots. Anything that does not conform to normal behavior will be recorded.
Just like what I did just now, I don't have the authority to take materials here. When I enter this area, the background intelligent system has already included me as a key monitoring object.
When I picked up the material and moved away for a certain distance, the background intelligent system raised the incident to the yellow warning level through video analysis. If I had not put it back just now, it would have been upgraded to the red alarm level and the relevant management would be notified directly. "
Hearing Zi Yanran's story, everyone was also eye-opened. What surprised them was not this management model, but the technical level inside it.
To achieve this is not just a matter of arranging a few cameras, but also requires analyzing the video images, and the technology here is the most critical.
The second is information flow technology. The analyzed information needs to be communicated to relevant parties in a timely manner so that relevant managers can deal with problems in a timely manner.
"Is this the smart technology you talked about before?" Zizheng asked Zhao Yi.
“Absolutely, it’s an application direction of intelligent programs. Through this video analysis technology, you can be able to identify anything and behavior in the video just like a human being.
Just like when Zi Yanran entered the material area, the background intelligent system has matched Zi Yanran's appearance characteristics to find out who Zi Yanran is.
Then check whether she has relevant permissions, and then analyze her behavior to determine whether it is a violation. If it is a violation, a warning or police will be issued. " Zhao Yi said.
The reason why the senior government official knew about the existence of intelligent systems was when Zhao Yi answered a reporter's question when he signed the welfare contract agreement. At that time, he said that the Internet and intelligent systems would be used to solve the problem of lack of teachers.
But after that, the outside world didn't know the extent of the artificial intelligence Zhao Yi mentioned. Now, not many people still remember what he said.
"Your artificial intelligence is very advanced. In what other ways can it be applied?" asked the counselor.
Zhao Yi invited the senior government official to come here for an inspection. One of the purposes is to hope that artificial intelligence can be introduced into the government system to supervise and manage the operation of the entire government system, improve the work efficiency of civil servants, and reduce the interference of human factors.
As long as the government introduces artificial intelligence systems in government affairs processing, the relevant execution processes of government departments will follow the intelligent system processes.
If there are human interference factors or people who do not follow the rules, the intelligent system can detect it in time. If it is financial and other related data, the intelligent system can easily detect the problems.
This is very important for the government to build a clean government. Although this era is much cleaner than previous generations, with the continued development of the domestic economy, foreign trends of thought will follow, and things will gradually become different.
This is the best time to introduce artificial intelligence systems into government management, which can also give the central government greater control over end governments.
For the people, whether the government is doing well or not is directly related to the end government. Artificial intelligence and big data strengthen the control capabilities of the end government and can detect problems in a timely manner.
Moreover, the introduction of artificial intelligence systems is not like ordinary information management systems in previous generations. Not only does it improve work efficiency, it sometimes increases the workload of government officials.
After the introduction of this artificial intelligence system, many tasks are directly completed by artificial intelligence, which can reduce labor costs. Even tasks that require human participation can greatly reduce the workload.
Nowadays, most of the national finance is used to pay for national welfare, and there is actually not much available funds left for the government. If the number of government civil servants continues to expand as much as in the previous life, it will be very detrimental to the government's finances.
And in Zhao Yi's view, too many government officials is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes the more people there are, the more people will be overwhelmed, and it is easier to breed corruption problems.
Only by allowing each civil servant to have his/her main responsibility in hand, with dedicated personnel dedicated to their duties, a clear division of labor, and each person performing his or her duties can not only reduce waste, but also enable things to be done better.
“It can be said that this artificial intelligence system is the most advanced in the world. In addition to managing warehouses, the video intelligent analysis just now can also be installed in urban public areas, which plays a major role in urban security management.
Another example is the artificial intelligence teachers I mentioned before. This is also an application direction. Using this artificial intelligence system, the teaching level of intelligent teachers is not lower than that of real people at all, and because the materials are basically from top teachers, the level is higher.
Moreover, this artificial intelligence system can also be integrated into daily management, replacing a large amount of human work, improving work efficiency, reducing errors, and making the management system more smooth and accessible.
Just like what we saw in the comprehensive office building just now, their daily systems are also connected to artificial intelligence modules, making their work very easy.
Not only that, even on the production line, we have also connected to this artificial intelligence system, which can assign production tasks to each employee, and arrange them based on the employee's work ability and efficiency.
Because of this, our production line employees are able to work only eight hours a day and have two days off every week. " Zhao Yi said.
Zhao Yi didn't want to make it too obvious. Although he had his own little thoughts, if he was too direct, he was afraid that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
As a result, the senior advisor listened to Zhao Yi's words and asked directly: "Can your artificial intelligence be used in the daily work of the government?"
Although Zhao Yi was a little different, he said calmly: "It should be possible. Specific research needs to be conducted to understand the government's work process.
Because the work of government departments is much more complicated than that of enterprises, there are relatively many things to consider, and even many things cannot be quantified. "
After listening to Zhao Yi's words, the senior advisor nodded, and then everyone came to the staff elevator room. There were 40 employee elevators scattered around the entire factory building to facilitate employees' commuting to and from get off work.
Everyone took the elevator to the second floor and entered the production workshop. They could clearly feel the working atmosphere on site. When they entered, the workers had already discovered them.
Since their dormitories were all equipped with TVs, they had seen the senior government officials and some senior government officials who accompanied the inspection on the news. Although they were very excited, they still did not leave their posts.
Seeing this situation, the senior advisor nodded. This shows that the company's management system is implemented very well and there will be no layoffs due to emergencies.
The entire production workshop has a large space, and although there are many people, it does not seem very crowded, unlike other clothing factories where people are basically close to each other.
What interests the delegation is their production line equipment, which is obviously different from the equipment of other garment factories. Other garment factories still use personal sewing machines to make clothes, but here they have integrated production equipment.
Workers only need to digitally operate the machine based on the design drawings issued by the production task. The machine will automatically perform relevant operations according to the settings, and then the workers only need to intervene at the appropriate time.
To be honest, we have already reached this level of automation. We only need to take a step further to achieve unmanned operation. However, it is not suitable to launch an unmanned production line at the moment.
After the inspection team carefully observed the workers' production process, a leader asked: "The artificial intelligence you just mentioned can actually be used on this production line. Why are people still watching?"
Zi Yanran looked at Zhao Yi, and after receiving Zhao Yi's feedback, she said: "We feel that it is not appropriate to launch an unmanned chemical plant now. Although the technology has been achieved, it is not just these things that need to be considered, but also social considerations. Benefit."
Although Zi Yanran's words were vague, they also understood what she meant. The current domestic employment situation is already severe, and there are more surplus laborers waiting in rural areas. Employment is currently the most important job in the country.
If the unmanned chemical factory is really launched, four-fifths of the jobs at Hualong Apparel Company will be cut off at once, which means that nearly 9 million jobs will be lost in an instant, and the impact will be huge.
It is precisely because of this factor that Hualong Clothing Company did not do this, but still arranged jobs. Not only that, the salary provided by Hualong Clothing Company was at least twice as high as outside.
This confirms what Zhao Yi has always mentioned before, which is to expand domestic demand, pay more wages to employees, and act as a mixer for internal circulation. Now it seems that what Zhao Yi said is not false.
After observing all aspects of the production line, they found that not only were employees more relaxed than other garment factories, but their efficiency was also very high, generally reaching about 5 times the normal efficiency.
It is precisely because the work efficiency is much higher than that of other garment factories that Hualong Garment Company dares to offer high salaries to its employees. Otherwise, it will be a dead end.
The market is not kind. If other people's unit costs are low, they can lower the product price.
And if you are benevolent and pay high wages to your employees, if you cannot improve efficiency elsewhere, it means that your costs must be higher than others, and you will not be able to compete with other manufacturers.
Of course, Hualong Clothing Company is not a pure processing factory, but a comprehensive clothing company. More profits are not generated in the production process, but in the value of their clothing brand.
After visiting the production line, the senior advisor sighed: “No wonder you can provide high wages to your employees, your production efficiency is much higher than theirs.
Only with your efficiency and scale can you occupy 50% of the world's clothing trade, leaving other competitors far behind.
However, it is difficult for other companies to achieve large-scale production like yours, which makes me more and more interested in your organizational model. "
Zi Yanran then led the delegation to visit the employees' living areas and entertainment facilities. The employees' living areas are located on both sides of the factory, and the entertainment facilities are divided into indoor facilities and outdoor facilities.
When they saw the living environment of ordinary employees of Hualong Clothing Company, even the members of the inspection team were full of praise and even said that it was better than the living conditions of ordinary civil servants.
Then there are indoor entertainment facilities, including KTV, billiards room, library, Internet cafe, etc. These places require fees and are commercial operations. Since employees are paid such high wages, of course they also hope to earn some money from these aspects.
The outdoor entertainment facilities are stadiums, mainly basketball courts, tennis courts, football fields and table tennis courts. Although they are not as luxurious as professional ones, they are enough for these employees to exercise.
At noon, the inspection team had a meal in the factory cafeteria. The standard meal was three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetables. In the previous life, it was not outstanding, but in this era, it is truly luxurious.
The inspection team did not receive special care from the canteen and ate the same food as the workers. They also believed that Zhao Yi would not fool himself in these aspects because it was not necessary.
After eating, Zi Yanran led a group of people in their own cars to the headquarters of Hualong Clothing Company. The headquarters covers a huge area and is divided into an administrative building, a dispatch center building, and a design building.
The administrative building occupies a small area, but it is the highest in height. With 99 floors, it is also outstanding in Shenzhen. It is a landmark building. Zi Yanran's office is located on the top floor of this building.
The dispatch center building is the shortest, only 9 stories high, but the single building area is the largest.
The data center and dispatch center all work in this building. As the name of the design building suggests, all the clothing design and brand operation teams work in this building.
The largest number of people in the headquarters are these designers and brand operators, so the design building is actually composed of 10 independent buildings. The height of each floor is only slightly lower than the administrative building, with 79 floors.
You must know that Hualong Clothing Company has more than 3,000 clothing, shoe and hat brands, with an average of more than 80 operating personnel for each brand. Together with clothing designers, the total number reaches about 300,000.
In other words, basically each building has to accommodate the office needs of 30,000 people, and the floor area cannot be low. Therefore, when the inspection team got off the bus at the headquarters and looked at such a large area of high-rise buildings, it felt as if they had suddenly arrived in a developed city. National metropolis.
Due to the large number of high-income people gathered here, it is also one of the most prosperous commercial areas in Shenzhen, which can be seen from the busy traffic. (End of chapter)
