"Sister-in-law is at work?"
Zhao Shanhe asked after entering the room, sitting on the sofa and taking the tea jar handed over by Li Yuanhua.
The tea in the teapot is large-leaf tea, and you can buy a big bag of it for a dime on the market.
Zhao Shanhe took a sip. There were too many tea leaves, which made it bitter and astringent.
"My tea is cheap. You may not be used to it. How about I make you some brown sugar water?" Li Yuanhua just sat down and got up to go to work again.
Zhao Shanhe stopped him, "Director Li, in your words, we are all old acquaintances, so let's not make such nonsense. This tea is very thirst-quenching."
They all came from poor backgrounds, and Zhao Shanhe didn't want to show off his wealth by relying on temporary momentum.
"Ouch!" Li Yuanhua sighed, and hurriedly handed Zhao Shanhe a cigarette. It was a Hardman cigarette. It was not expensive, costing less than 20 cents a pack. It was stronger than dry cigarettes, and it was easy to smoke. Choking in throat.
Zhao Shanhe took a sip, his tongue was burning, and listened to Li Yuanhua continue to speak.
"Now that I have been promoted to deputy director, I am very popular in the eyes of outsiders, but you also saw it in front of Liu Zhenbang just now. I was nodding and bowing, picking up food and pouring wine. I wanted to kneel down and serve him."
"As a deputy director, I can't say anything in front of the leaders of the cannery, so I have to carefully accompany the smiling face and serve like this. I can't hold my position securely for any day. If I really stand down one day, it will be really bad. It’s become a joke.”
Everyone has suffering.
Li Yuanhua is the deputy director of the cannery, and his wife is a teacher at Nancheng Primary School. With such a stable life, he can still tell so much hardship.
The poor people go out early and come back late, carrying hoes to the fields and moving bricks and mud at the construction site. Their lives are even more miserable.
"Director Li, you are being humble when you say this. How many people in your family wish to live a good life like this? I am jealous just looking at it." After Zhao Shanhe finished speaking, he put out his cigarette, took a sip of tea, and pressed the The smell of smoke in my throat.
"You know the taste after eating the marrow. Boss Zhao, I invited you here today because I want to discuss a major matter with you." Li Yuanhua brought the conversation to the main topic.
"You say it and I listen." Zhao Shanhe said.
"Boss Zhao can afford to open a business as big as a shopping mall. He must have a bright mind. He can also see that the current canning factory is not profitable. The cans in the factory are unsaleable, and the imported peaches, apples, and pears , more than half of it rotted on the factory's production line, let alone the finished canned goods."
"There is a backlog of cans in the factory warehouse. Now the factory is losing money. If this trend continues, it will definitely go bankrupt and close down. In the past six months, Liu Zhenbang has been convening factory leaders for meetings, trying to decide what to do. The idea is to revitalize this cannery. The second branch of the cannery factory has closed down, and now the main factory is in danger. Liu Zhenbang, the director of the factory, can’t sit still, and the workers below can’t sit still.”
"There are hundreds of workers in the factory, and they all work with their families, and they all rely on the cannery's salary. If the cannery closes down, everyone will not be able to eat."
Li Yuanhua is also anxious. He has only been the deputy director for a few days and has not yet reaped any real benefits. If the factory goes bankrupt and closes down at this time, it will really be a disaster.
Hearing this, Zhao Shanhe said, "The efficiency of the general factory is not good, then change your thinking. The factory is dead, but the people are alive. There are no less than dozens of leaders, big and small, in the canned general factory, and they can always produce good results." suggestions.”
"I heard Liu Zhenbang say that if you want to invigorate the efficiency of the cannery, you can only engage in outsourcing contracting and contract out the cans produced by the factory to individuals. I heard that factories in several cities around Nancheng have also started contracting. It doesn’t cost a lot of money, but at least it has revitalized the factory. The hundreds of employees in the factory can have enough to eat, and the life of the factory leaders can also be much easier.”
Li Yuanhua looked at Zhao Shanhe, with a hint of desire in his eyes.
"Director Li, do you want me to join the factory as a contractor?" Zhao Shanhe understood the meaning immediately.
"Boss Zhao, your shopping mall is now the most consumer-intensive place in Mannan City, and you just rented the remaining dozen or so shops in the department store not long ago. You must want to build a big one. With such a hot business like yours, Isn't it easy to revitalize the cannery?" Li Yuanhua looked at Zhao Shanhe eagerly.
Zhao Shanhe shook his head: "I am just a nobody, with very little strength. It is simply impossible for me to revitalize a cannery. The cannery is a hot potato. Anyone who touches it will be in trouble."
"How do you say this?" Li Yuanhua was a little confused.
"The closure of the second canning factory means that the production system of the canning factory itself is not good. There are nearly dozens of canning factories in the entire province. The production volume is large and the competition is high. In addition, many enterprises are undergoing reforms. This is completely a problem. It’s a war without gunpowder, and if we want to revitalize the benefits of the cannery, we definitely can’t do it without real money.”
"Although my shopping mall is booming right now, it's because it's the first business in Nancheng that's new, so everyone buys in. But now that reforms have been implemented, many self-employed people have turned around. In the future, shopping like me in Nancheng will Centers will emerge one after another. If I don’t have the ability to establish myself, I won’t be able to achieve anything. If you ask me to revitalize a cannery now, you are just kidding with my life.”
Li Yuanhua was speechless.
He just wanted to find a reliable partner to contract the sales of the cannery and earn some money to spend. He also wanted to secure his position as deputy director and maybe have a chance to rise.
He liked Zhao Shanhe because Zhao Shanhe had the strength to be able to afford this business, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shanhe would be so cautious because he had the city at his heart.
"Boss Zhao, I have estimated that if you can engage in contract sales, you will definitely make money. And if you have a business like a shopping mall, you are not afraid of running out of sales. If you want to do it, it will be as simple as picking something out of a bag. This is a godsend. I don’t have any money, and I don’t have the sales connections. If I had, I would have gone it alone a long time ago. You have to think about it, this business is very profitable!”
Li Yuanhua tried to persuade Zhao Shanhe to fight for his own interests.
After the second canning branch factory closed down due to poor profitability, the main canning factory has been operating at a loss. The original number of nearly 1,000 workers has now been reduced to three to four hundred.
As far as the current production of the cannery is concerned, the production equipment is good and the workers are skilled, and it can produce nearly 10,000 bottles of cans every day.
However, in order to cut expenses and reduce losses, the productivity was reduced from being able to produce nearly 10,000 bottles of cans per day to less than 2,000 bottles of cans per day.
Due to the reduction in productivity, many workers on the production line have been left idle and passive. Currently, the factory's internal leaders are discussing layoffs.
At that time, there was another bloody storm in the factory.
