The Pentium Era - South to North

Jessica and Jerry got up at twelve o'clock and went to the Erguo Food Stall in Longxiang Bridge for a late-night snack. For Jessica and the others, it was dinner.

Having just slept, Jessica felt energetic again. She made sure to follow Zhang Chen and Lin Shuwan to order food at the door. She also ran to the market opposite and bought the freshly delivered seafood.

After eating, they still couldn't sleep, so they went to the bar next to Zhejiang Meijiang on Nanshan Road to drink. They drank until about four o'clock before returning to the hotel drunk.

At 9:40 in the morning, when Zhang Chen and Lin Shuwan arrived at the Huanglong Hotel, they thought they would have to wait a little longer. Unexpectedly, Jessica and the others had already gotten up early, had even eaten breakfast, and were sitting in the lobby bar. Drink coffee while waiting for them.

It seems that this American girl is unambiguous when it comes to having fun and working.

They first went to the Sanbao factory. As Lin Shuwan said, Jessica and Jerry went in and looked at every corner of the workshop, employee dormitories and canteen. When they saw a bathroom, the two of them would get in and take a look. , Jerry would write down something in his notebook from time to time, and he would also raise the camera hanging around his neck and take pictures everywhere, even in the toilet. The workers all laughed when they saw it.

People who wanted to use the toilet had to hold back and watch them from a distance.

As soon as she arrived at the factory, Jessica basically said nothing and kept a straight face, which made it hard for Lin Shuwan to say anything next to her.

Zhang Chen thought to himself, this Jessica must have looked like a devil when she visited her store in the United States. No wonder Jerry, a big man like him, was so respectful and respectful in front of her that he didn't look like him at all.

Just like yesterday, naturally, Xu Qiaoxin went to accompany Jerry, and Lin Shuwan accompanied Jessica.

Even if there was no such arrangement, Xu Qiaoxin would not dare to approach Jessica after looking at her appearance, and would leave her to Lin Shuwan without hesitation.

They went to the distribution center and saw the workers in the distribution center busy distributing goods. Jessica was very interested. She asked the workers who were distributing goods where the goods were sent to and what their entire distribution process was like. Kind of.

She also sat down and looked at their computer's daily sales, statistical reports, and replenishment orders. She asked Jerry to take a photo of the computer screen.

After arriving here and sitting down, Jessica started to talk more. As she talked more, the whole atmosphere became more relaxed.

Lin Shuwan handed her a bottle of water, and she nodded and said thank you.

They then moved to the warehouse. Zhang Chen thought that there was nothing interesting to see in the warehouse, so he could just walk around and leave.

He looked at the time and saw that it was already eleven-thirty. The bell for getting off work at noon rang. Seeing workers passing by in groups outside, Jessica asked Lin Shuwan if it was lunch time?

Lin Shuwan said yes, and Jessica nodded to Jerry. Jerry walked out, and Xu Qiaoxin quickly followed. Jerry went to the canteen and saw the workers lining up. He started taking pictures again, and the workers packed their meals. When he came out, he grabbed a worker and asked, do I need to pay to eat here?

Xu Qiaoxin translated Jerry's words to the worker. The worker quickly shook his head and told him that he didn't need it.

Xu Qiaoxin translated it to Jerry.

Jerry then asked, how many times a day are they served?

The worker said four times, breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night snack.

Jerry pointed to the plate in the worker's hand and asked, can I take a photo?

The worker smiled and said yes.

After Jerry took the photo, the worker thought everything was fine and was about to leave. Jerry stopped him again and asked, are you always like this, or are you specially prepared because we are here today?

Xu Qiaoxin was taken aback and secretly said it was dangerous.

Yesterday, Zhao Zhigang asked, since foreigners are going to the canteen today, should we add two more dishes in the canteen to make it look better?

Lin Shuwan said yes, but Zhang Chen disagreed. He said that it is as it is. There is no need for us to cheat for them. Each meal has one meat and two vegetables. We already eat well. How much more is needed for a work meal? vegetable?

Xu Qiaoxin thought to herself, it's a good thing that we didn't add more food today, otherwise the secret would have been exposed. You can't go and explain to every worker first that the reason for adding food today is to show foreigners. If foreigners want to ask, you can just say that it is like this in normal times, and the workers will also feel that it is the same. There will be ideas.

The worker pointed to the kitchen window and said, "It's the same as usual. There's a menu for each week. You can check it out yourself."

Jerry walked over and saw a menu posted there, which showed the arrangement of dishes served every day for this week, breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight snacks. Jerry took a photo of the menu and the scene in the kitchen.

Then he walked around the restaurant and watched the workers eating. When the workers saw him, they all laughed. He also grinned and kept smiling at everyone.

…

After Jerry left, Jessica pointed to the warehouse manager and asked Zhao Zhigang, does it matter if we delayed her from eating lunch?

Zhao Zhigang said it didn't matter, I could ask the kitchen to cook it for her later.

Jessica said okay, let’s continue.

In the warehouse, Jessica did not look at the finished products in stock, but focused on the fabrics. She carefully inquired about the suppliers, looked at the warehouse receipts, and asked Zhao Zhigang, do these factories have qualifications?

Zhao Zhigang didn't understand what she was talking about, but Lin Shuwan said it was a business license.

Zhang Chen quickly said that there is no one here, but there is one in the financial center.

Jessica nodded.

She then checked the warehousing slip for accessories, and then checked the outbound records. When she checked the sewing needles, she asked, is there any record of the use of sewing needles?

The warehouse manager said yes. Our needles are provided by the supervisor of each group, and after receiving the whole package, they are distributed to workers in need.

Why do workers need to change needles? Jessica asked.

As soon as Lin Shuwan translated this, Zhao Zhigang and the warehouse manager laughed. Zhao Zhigang said, of course the needle will break.

What about your broken needle records? Jessica asked, can you show it to me?

Broken needle record? What is this?

Zhao Zhigang and the warehouse manager looked at Jessica, and then at Lin Shuwan. Lin Shuwan was shocked and sighed, why did she forget this yesterday? If they inspected the factory, they would definitely check the broken needle record. She probably I thought today was not a factory inspection, so I didn't think about it.

The so-called broken needle record is a form printed out on A4 paper. If the needle breaks, you need to find the broken needle and stick it on the form with transparent tape. Write clearly the time of the broken needle and the worker on the side. ’s job number.

If it is broken into two pieces, you need to find both pieces. If it is broken into three pieces, you need to find all three pieces, and then put them together into a complete needle and stick it on the broken needle record.

Factory inspection companies and foreigners attach great importance to broken needle records, because if a needle breaks in the clothes and the customer buys it and is accidentally scratched by the broken needle, or just finds a broken needle in the clothes, he or she will make a fortune.

They will immediately sue the store, and the store will suffer huge compensation claims. Once a successful claim occurs, customers who bought the same clothing can also ask the store for compensation.

But when you actually go to the factory, where will there be any record of broken needles? The production task is so tight, and a needle breaks. Who has so much time to find the broken needle? Do you still have to rush?

If the needle breaks, it will break. Just replace it with a new one. If the broken needle falls to the ground, it will definitely be swept away with the garbage.

In the factories Lin Shuwan encountered before, before coming to inspect the goods, they would make a temporary record of broken needles, use a vise to clip off the good needles, and then paste them one by one on paper to compile the time and job number.

Lin Shuwan just forgot about the broken needle record yesterday.

Zhao Zhigang was embarrassed and his face turned red. Zhang Chen told him to tell the truth.

Zhao Zhigang and Jessica said that we have no record of broken needles.

So how do you deal with broken needles? Jessica asked.

"Just sweep it away as garbage." Zhao Zhigang said.

"What should I do if a broken needle falls into my clothes?" Lin Shuwan translated Jessica's words.

Zhao Zhigang shook his head: "It's impossible."

"Why?" Lin Shuwan translated.

"We have a needle detection system. Packaged clothes will pass through the needle detector, and any broken needles will be discovered."

Zhao Zhigang said, feeling that this was very convincing. In fact, it is a needle detector, which is not usually used. So many clothes are produced every day. If every piece of clothing passes the needle detector, one machine and one person will be too busy.

"Clothes with metal buttons and zippers will scream when they go through the broken needle instrument. What should you do? Or what if there is a problem with the instrument itself? Are clothes with broken needles leaving your factory like this?"

Jessica frowned and asked aggressively, obviously a little angry. Zhao Zhigang's face turned red and he didn't know how to deal with it. Zhang Chen quickly said, Miss Jessica is right, we will make up for it right away. .

Jessica looked at Zhang Chen, her brows relaxed a little, and she continued to talk to Zhao Zhigang:

"All mistakes should be stopped when they start to happen, rather than corrected afterward. Do you understand?"

Zhao Zhigang said, OK.

After leaving the warehouse, Jessica saw the two-pointers playing basketball. She seemed very interested. She walked over and stood there watching. Every time she saw a two-pointer hit, Jessica cheered loudly and cheered. Palm, she pointed to two points and asked Lin Shuwan excitedly, "She plays the ball really well. Is she a worker in your factory?"

At this time, Jessica seemed to be like last night again. Lin Shuwan said to her, yes, this is the captain of our factory's basketball team. Our factory's women's basketball team is the champion of this city.

When Liangfen saw Zhang Chen and the foreigner walking into the stadium, they all stopped. Jessica saw Jerry coming back and quickly called him over. She wanted to take a photo with Liangfen and the others.

Everyone walked to the restaurant. When they passed the finance department, the office door was open, and the finance department was still sitting there waiting. Lin Shuwan asked Jessica, do you want to see the finance office?

Jessica asked, are employees’ attendance records and salary payment records here?

Zhang Chen said, this month’s money is here, and the other months’ money has been handed over to the company.

Jessica said, don’t read it then. The ones for the current month are meaningless, only the ones that have been distributed are meaningful.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the old man had already prepared a table of dishes for them. Jessica asked Jerry, what did the workers eat for lunch?

Jerry talked to her, and Jessica and Lin Shuwan said, can you give us some food for the workers?

Lin Shuwan said yes.

The restaurant staff brought the employee dishes, and Jessica took the plate and used a knife and fork to put some of each of the dishes on her own plate.

She and Lin Shuwan laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to use your chopsticks yet. When I go to Chinese restaurants, I also use knives and forks."

Zhao Zhigang was on the side and whispered to Xu Qiaoxin, how come this American woman laughs at everything and falls out with her every time?

Xu Qiaoxin told him that foreigners are like this. When you and he have no conflict of interest, they seem nice, polite, and easy-going. But once you infringe on their interests even a little bit, they will fall out faster than anyone else.

Zhao Zhigang was surprised and asked Xu Qiaoxin, didn't they want to see the wedding dress? Why do we care so much about our clothes, and they didn't come in?

Xu Qiaoxin said, I don’t know either.
