WTF?
Is the match factory going out of business?
Chen Zhen was stunned. In his previous life, the match factory collapsed around 1997. Disposable lighters swept the country. The match factory did make some adjustments at that time, but after all, the products were lagging behind and the machines were closed. In addition, the superior leaders had already begun to disapprove of matches. The factory implemented a strategy of giving up, and the match factory was finally sold to a coal mine owner in Pingjiang in 2003.
The boss was also very humane. He demolished the houses in the factory area and built real estate, but the dormitory area has been kept. After all, it is not easy to accommodate the old workers.
But Chen Zhen had no idea that such a notice had been issued in such a festive year as 1992.
Hou Hongwen looked a little ugly and said regretfully: "This is just a warning issued by the superiors. Although the products have been sold outside in the past two years, the huge costs can no longer be supported."
"Now workers' wages and benefits are of the highest standard. There is no unit outside that does not envy the welfare of the match factory. But everyone knows that thieves eat meat, so how can you see thieves being beaten!"
"I also want everyone to have a better life in the last few years of the match factory. I also hope they have some sense of crisis. After all, the wave of bankruptcies of state-owned factories has begun, and the outcome cannot be changed."
…
Hou Hongwen smiled bitterly, threw a cigarette to Chen Zhen and lit it again. The hair on his head seemed to have a few more gray hairs. Maybe this is how it feels to grow old overnight.
"The match factory needs to make major changes. As the saying goes, it cannot be destroyed until it is established. If it does not make drastic changes, it cannot continue to be maintained."
Chen Zhen looked at the match factory's deficit data and said softly, after all, three generations of his family have been in the match factory, and he has a relationship with the match factory.
Hou Hongwen naturally understood that, although he was the head of a factory, he was powerless: "I have already reminded the superiors about the introduction of machines and product updates, but the superiors have already given up on the match factory strategy. There is no other way. ”
Why!
Chen Zhen was also very helpless. In China's territory, the leaders above said that no matter how potential you are, you will be removed when the time comes, and there will be no ambiguity.
The party outside was very lively, and the constant shouting added a lot of atmosphere to this New Year. However, the silence in the office was completely opposite, and seemed to form a contrast with the outside.
"I'm open to it. No matter how bad the match factory is, it can continue for another two or three years. This is not a problem, but it will be a pity for the workers in the factory!"
"Where will they work when they lose their iron rice bowl? How will they make a living? How will the former match factory workers be viewed by everyone after they leave the society?"
"I can't even think about it!"
Hou Hongwen sighed, and the corners of the nearly sixty-year-old man's eyes became a little moist, his nose tightened, and his face became a little aggrieved.
It is a lie to say that he has no relationship with the factory. He is afraid that he will become the laughing stock of the people at the match factory.
"I'll take it all in then!"
Chen Zhen said lightly and threw the document directly on the table.
Hou Hongwen did not answer, but instead thought that what Chen Zhen said was just a joke: "Hahaha, okay, then the factory will be handed over to you?"
"Director Hou, I am serious. The factory will close down in three years and I will take over all the workers!"
Chen Zhen's words became more serious, which made Hou Hongwen look at Chen Zhen seriously. How can you, a kid in his twenties, accept these nearly 200 workers, let alone a small factory in Pingjiang County? , even knitting factories may not be able to use it!
This is just a joke!
"Okay, Factory Director Hou, let's go down and watch the party for a while. You've been away for a long time, and it's time for people in the factory to gossip. It's not closed yet, so let's run in a good direction!"
Chen Zhen then started talking with a smile, and took advantage of the situation to pull Hou Hongwen out and walked outside. They walked through the workshop and factory area to the party.
At this time, the skit performed by people in the factory was amusing everyone. When everyone saw Hou Hongwen coming over, they all shrank their legs and moved out of the way. Hou Hongwen glanced at Chen Zhen with expectant eyes, and Chen Zhen nodded slightly and smiled before leaving. Got to the back.
Zhang Baixue was wrapped in a scarf and looked at the stage with a smile. She had no idea that Chen Zhen had already walked over. Chen Zhen suddenly hugged Zhang Baixue from behind like a child. He was so frightened that the other person's expression changed. He hurriedly dodged aside until he saw Chen Zhen's figure then said a few words with a hint of complaint.
The two of them watched for nearly an hour or two before returning home. The temperature outside was really not ridiculous. The cold made their ears red and they kept sniffing.
This year was really lively, and Chen Zhen didn't spread the news. He didn't even say anything to Zhang Baixue and Sun Ergou. On the first day of the new year, Chen Zhen didn't have any relatives to visit, so he and Zhang Baixue rode on Ergou. Badagang went to the back mountain, placed several bowls of hot dishes in front of the old man's grave, and poured a glass of white wine.
This can be regarded as a New Year toast to the old man. Chen Zhen and Zhang Baixue stayed nearby for a while. The temperature of the sun became slightly warmer. Chen Zhen lit a cigarette and put it aside, turned around and left with Zhang Baixue.
Everyone has been busy wearing new clothes these days. Li Qiang is also back. He arrived at home with all his bags. It seemed that he and his wife had a sweet time in the evening. Li Qiang even took a trip to Chen Zhen's house with his things to express his regret for leaving. Afterward care of the home.
The two of them had nothing to do after celebrating the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, so they arrived at the store in Pingjiang Ancient City to open the store. There were still many people celebrating the New Year, and many people from the countryside came to the city to hang out. Needless to say, the business was very good.
"Come and take a look. Snow Vinegar Vinegar Shop's apple cider vinegar is already the most unique drink in Pingjiang Ancient Town. It's high quality, low price, sweet and refreshing."
"Fifty-five cents a cup. If you buy more, there will be free drinks and small gifts. Everyone, come and buy some!"
…
Chen Zhen stood at the door holding two cups and roaring loudly. At this time, more people were selling snow vinegar brand apple cider vinegar on South Street.
"Brother Jiang, these people really don't have any eyesight. They closed the door after talking to them before. Now I see that guy Chen Zhen has opened his shop and started selling again. Look at this Shunchang Vinegar Shop. He is the best seller!"
At this time, a small follower next to Zhang Linjiang passed by Shunchang Vinegar Shop and whispered.
Zhang Linjiang, who was on the side, naturally had an ugly face. Looking at other people's businesses, and then looking at his own supply and marketing cooperative, there were very few of them. The New Year's Day was so miserable...
