The Pentium Era - South to North

They returned to Erqing Building and Mr. Nie's office. After sitting down, Mr. Nie smiled at Zhang Chen, the smile was a bit embarrassing.

Mr. Nie and Zhang Chen said: "Mr. Zhang, the situation is just like this. This factory is a bit dilapidated and the equipment is a bit old. But don't worry, the workers are all good workers, at least they are all in that factory. I have been working for three or four years and are all skilled workers.”

"That's right, as long as business and working capital come in, this factory will be able to come back to life immediately." Secretary Bao also said beside him.

Zhang Chen thought to himself, let alone himself, even Zhao Zhigang would not look down on such a broken factory and asked them to be his processing factory. With such an old machine, he didn't know that they could not only make these big pants. , what else can be done.

Zhang Chen wanted to leave at that time, but he felt that Mr. Nie and Secretary Bao had been with him for half a day and their attitude was very sincere. It would be too unreasonable for him to leave like this. Besides, Zhang Chen was a person who really didn’t know How to reject someone else? The better the attitude towards him, the harder it will be for him to reject him in person. All he can do is delay.

At this time, Zhang Chen really hoped that there would be a call so that he could find an excuse to leave, but the big brother in his butt pocket was silent.

Normally, no matter what the big deal, these people also like to call him. At this critical moment, when he was waiting for them to call him, why the hell didn't anyone call him?

Zhang Chen picked up the cup on the coffee table and drank some water. His mouth was indeed dry. In front of Director Zhao, he didn't dare to pick up the cup with the rim full of yellow dirt. It wasn't because he was particular about it, but because the yellow dirt was so real. There is something fishy about it.

After drinking two sips of water, Zhang Chen finally made up his mind. Since no one was beating his eldest brother, he had no choice but to find a reason for himself. He stood up and said to Mr. Nie and Secretary Bao:

"There is a customer. We made an appointment to meet in the store. I think he must have arrived. Mr. Nie and Secretary Bao, it's time for me to leave. If anything happens, let's call."

When Mr. Nie heard this, he became a little anxious. He stretched out his hand, pressed Zhang Chen's shoulders, and said to him:

"Sit here for a while, Mr. Zhang, please listen to what I have to say. If the customer arrives, he will definitely hit you, right? If your big brother hasn't called yet, then he must not have arrived."

Secretary Bao also said: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, please sit down for a while."

Zhang Chen had no choice but to continue sitting.

Mr. Nie looked at him and said: "Mr. Zhang, I also know that you don't like the equipment in our factory, but that factory is not useless. Look, the workshop is not very spacious and the place is not very big. Well? In my opinion, it’s much more spacious than your place, and your place can’t even be crowded now.”

Zhang Chen smiled and hesitated, thinking that this dilapidated factory only had a big place, but what's the use of a big place.

"Look, that's what I think, Mr. Zhang." Mr. Nie continued, "Now that you have business and working capital, you shouldn't be nervous. You can merge our factory and set up a branch factory here. The workers in the factory can definitely still be used after training. You can also replace the equipment. Can we expand production capacity here?

"I heard you say before that you still have many processing plants outside. Then if you train these workers and recruit some new workers, won't you not even need processing plants anymore? Where can we find other people's factories? My own factory is easy to manage, am I right? Besides, this factory is only a few miles away from your store, only two or three kilometers, so delivery to the store is also convenient."

"What Mr. Nie said makes sense. Mr. Zhang, we have asked the city government for instructions on this plan, and the city government also strongly supports it. It just wants us to find a company with development prospects. This is also for the workers in the factory. We are responsible." Secretary Bao said.

"Plan, what plan?" Zhang Chen asked puzzledly.

"The merger, of course, is your company, merging Qunying Garment Factory." Mr. Nie said, "After the merger is completed, these two companies will become one, and the place will be yours, and you can expand production there."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "I have never done such a thing, and I don't understand it at all. Mr. Nie, Secretary Bao, I want to know what you call the merger. If I want to do it, what do I need to do?"

"Both of us will sign a merger agreement, and you can just act according to the agreement. This agreement is actually simple. It is a merger, not an acquisition, and you don't have to pay an acquisition fee. By the way, I know, your Yan'an Road place The store is the sales department of Yiming Food Factory, right?"

Mr. Nie asked, Zhang Chen nodded.

"What is the content of this agreement?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Nothing else is important. The most important thing is that you are responsible for the resettlement of the 135 workers in the factory. You cannot say that after these two families merge into one, the place belongs to you and you just leave the workers." They are all fired. Although I think you, Mr. Zhang, are not such a person, this is a serious matter, so it must be implemented in the agreement."

"Of course, after the annexation, there are no restrictions on those who do not want to stay and want to leave." Secretary Bao said.

"That's right, Secretary Bao added this, and the meaning is complete. Also, you will be responsible for the original seventy-two retired employees of Qunying Garment Factory." Mr. Nie said.

"What are you responsible for?" Zhang Chen asked.

"That is to pay them retirement wages and medical expenses according to regulations." Mr. Nie said, "Mr. Zhang, you have to look far away. This group of people sounds like a lot of people now, but they are It will only decrease every year, not increase every year, don’t you think so?”

"What Mr. Nie said is still right. Mr. Zhang, please think about it." Secretary Bao said, "To be honest, we are very optimistic about you. Only after we understand your abilities, strength and character, can we dare to do such a thing." Many workers have been entrusted to you, and we feel relieved since we have entrusted them to you."

Zhang Chen listened and secretly felt funny. Do you think I'm a fool for leaving the workers to me? You can rest assured if you leave them to me. Isn't it just that you can't afford to support them? Do you want me to help you support them? It’s not like I don’t know what this kind of company is like.

Zhang Chen thought, isn't his parents' factory the same as Qunying Garment Factory? It's been two or three years since I was confused, and it wasn't until a few months ago that I finally got some clues.

Everywhere now, there is such a mess, just waiting for someone to clean it up one by one. If no one cleans up, the responsibility lies with the local government. Just like the disbanded Yue Opera Troupe, the remaining problems have not been solved for several years. Solution.

Zhang Chen stood up and said, "Okay, I understand everything. Thank you Mr. Nie and Secretary Bao for their trust. I will also go back and consider this matter and discuss it with people in the company."

"Okay, this is for sure. I hope, Mr. Zhang, you will take this matter to your heart." Mr. Nie said.

Zhang Chen said to them: "I will. Regardless of whether I do this or not, I will tell you an answer."

"That's good, that's good." Secretary Bao said, "Also, we hope it will be done as soon as possible."

This time Zhang Chen wanted to say goodbye again, but Mr. Nie did not stop him again. Zhang Chen went downstairs and rode his bicycle to his store. He walked to Xiao Zhao's office on the second floor and found that Qu Tianlin and Xiao An were also here.

Xiao Zhao asked him, where are you coming from?

"Erqing Building."

"What do they want from you?"

"Let's annex a garment factory below them."

Zhang Chen told the three of them exactly what had happened. Qu Tianlin shouted, "Don't do it. There are rotten factories like this that no one wants. You must not stick to them. Once they stick, you can't get rid of them." , seventy-two retired workers, that is seventy-two ancestors. You have to provide for them all until they die. Not counting this, there are more than one hundred and thirty people waiting in line behind you.

"I understand, Sister Tianlin, I'm not stupid."

"You're not stupid. I'm afraid that if you try too hard, the public family won't be able to support them. Why do you think you can support them? Don't show off, you know?" Qu Tianlin said.

"Sister Qu makes sense. If we don't have enough houses, we will build them ourselves. If we don't have enough people, we will hire them ourselves. If we think the place is not big enough, then we will buy a bigger one. The initiative is all in our own hands. If the workers don't work hard, Zhao Zhigang fired him without you having to show up. It's so refreshing. We must not cause that trouble." Xiao Zhao also said from the side.

Qu Tianlin added: "Xiao Zhao is right. Whether it is buying land or building a factory, the money can be calculated. Once so many people take over, it will be a bottomless pit."

Zhang Chen nodded and said, how could I not understand this? I only have two living teaching materials at home.

Having said this, Zhang Chen remembered. He picked up the phone on the table and dialed home. His father answered the phone. Zhang Chen asked him, how is your factory doing now?

"It's not the same as before." Zhang Chen's father said.

"A few months ago, didn't I say that your supply and marketing section chief took away the factory?"

"Two months, only two months later, they regretted it and refused to work. Now, they even ran out and said they don't want to have anything to do with this factory anymore."

"What are you doing?"

"We have set up a factory in partnership with others, and the products we make are still the same as those from our original factory."

"What about the workers in the factory?"

"What should we do? Huh, if we follow the past policy, we won't go to the county committee door to make noise every day."

Zhang Chen's father said: "In my opinion, these people deserve what they deserve. When no one cares about them, they cry and fight. Finally, someone is willing to take over. Each one of them treats themselves as a master and wants to eat them alive." You are so capable, why don't you take over? You know, you don't have any skills other than making fun of me. I got two months' salary, and now I have to wait for the northwest wind again."

"Old man, no matter how many people are going to the door of the county committee, you and your mother don't want to go. Just stay at home, you know?" Zhang Chen shouted.

"No, no, we haven't been there even once. We've been here several times, but we haven't gone. Now they don't come to call us." Zhang Chen's father said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right, good job, old comrade." Zhang Chen also smiled, "If you can't get the retirement salary, you won't get it. If you don't miss the money, if you don't have enough money, just give us a call."

"Dad, do you have enough money?" Xiao Zhao came over and shouted into the microphone.

"That's enough, that's enough. What you left behind last time hasn't been touched yet. What will it cost the two of us?"

"Whose phone number?" Zhang Chen heard his mother ask.

"It belongs to your son." Zhang Chen's father said.

"Get out of the way, give me the phone." Zhang Chen's mother called.

Zhang Chen's mother snatched the phone away. Before Zhang Chen could even call his mother, Zhang Chen's mother said, "Is Xiao Zhao here? Is Beibei here? Let Xiao Zhao answer the phone."

Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly and handed the phone to Xiao Zhao.

Qu Tianlin and Xiao An looked at Zhang Chen and smiled.

Zhang Chen walked out of Xiao Zhao's office, took out his mobile phone from his butt pocket, and then took out Mr. Nie's business card. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Zhang Chen looked at his watch, it was already five forty. Probably after get off work.

Tomorrow morning, remember, you must call Mr. Nie and tell him that we have discussed it in the company and still are not considering the merger.

Zhang Chen told himself.

Thank you Tiger for your monthly pass! Thanks for all the votes and reading! I wish you all good health!
