This has been in effect for some time now. The construction company has also issued a rule that whichever team has a problem is responsible.

The subcontractors don't have that much spare money to buy safety helmets; they make the migrant workers buy them themselves.

They also said that if they didn't buy it, whether it was a fine or an accident, it would all be their responsibility.

It's damn, but it's also very realistic.

If the higher-ups don't issue them, no one will buy them. Do honest migrant workers have any money? They already have pitifully little money, and they can't even get an advance from the foreman to buy hats.

Many migrant workers are still going to work as usual.

The safety team also arrested several people and issued a notice. The fines were only imposed on the construction company.

As for what the construction company should do, they didn't care.

Just a few days ago, a migrant worker was working on the floor of the second workshop when a steel clip accidentally fell from above while someone was dismantling steel pipes. Whether the safety net was flimsy or of poor quality, it penetrated three layers of netting and hit the worker on the head.

In fact, after the steel clamp is blocked by the protective net a few times, the buffering force is greatly reduced, and the last protective net is only about three meters high.

But the steel clamp weighed about two or three kilograms. Combined with the height of more than three meters, it caused him to suffer a head injury and bleed profusely.

When they took him to the hospital, they found a small dent in the spot where he had been hit.

With X-rays and examinations, the few workers only managed to scrape together a dozen yuan, which was hardly enough!

If you don't have the money, you can't afford to stay in the hospital; you can only be carried back.

They can't find the foreman, and when they contact the construction team, they're told to find the foreman; they don't care. They even say, "If you wear hard hats, won't you be safe?"

The vulnerable have no recourse. Finally, someone suggested that the electronics factory had a wage claim office, and suggested going there to ask; perhaps they could get the construction team to pay.

The office handling unpaid wages was also encountering this situation for the first time, so they reported it. That's how Xing Baohua found out about it.

Find out which construction company it belongs to. Call the site manager directly and resolve the issue on the spot.

As for the safety helmets, well, Xing Baohua will have someone notify the plastics factory to order 10,000 helmets!

The money was distributed directly to the migrant workers, but the construction company took a cut.

Finally, a reminder to construction companies: they cannot deduct the cost from the workers' wages.

Three days later, the motorcycle team arrived, assisted by personnel from the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office.

The city government office was also notified and came to assist the electronics factory in receiving foreign guests and completing this business visit.

Looking at electronics factories now, I have to say they're amazing. In the past, we were the ones going out to inspect other people's advanced equipment, but now it's the foreigners coming to inspect our new equipment.

Whether it's pagers or stylish, slim mobile phones, these two products alone represent the world's most advanced technology.

Motorola was the first company to invent the mobile phone, and they came to the electronics factory to learn and exchange experiences, didn't they?

What they didn't know was that the other party was seeking cooperation. Either Xing Baohua was giving them money, or the other party was giving Xing Baohua money.

The delegation that came this time was different from the previous ones; it was of a very high caliber, including a director from the motorcycle company. This was the highest-ranking member, but he was not the main representative for the negotiations. He was there to safeguard the interests of the numerous shareholders and to oversee the negotiations.

After all, this negotiation was internally estimated to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Factors such as preventing major mistakes by professional managers also played a role.

The larger the corporation, the more troublesome they are!

Secondly, there was a professional manager, although in a deputy position, whose rank allowed him to negotiate with Xing Baohua. Technical director Henry also came. The team consisted of about a dozen people, each accompanied by a deputy or assistant.

Seeing this lineup, Xing Baohua sighed inwardly, always feeling that they ganged up on him because he was all alone.

We do have a lot of underwhelming personnel on our side. Unfortunately, there's no time to transfer people from Hong Kong, so we have to find a few senior executives from the factory to fill the positions.

Yang Jing just returned from the United States a while ago, so let's go together!

Secretary Huang, as a shareholder and office director, along with factory director Liu Quan, who was in charge of technology, and Xiao Bomei, the deputy head of finance, were present.

There are still few people, but they are all Xing Baohua's right-hand men and capable assistants.

They all received equity incentives. If the company goes public in the future, these people could very well become billionaires.

It even earns more than that damn professional manager, and it carries more weight.

The professional manager was named Walker Nim. Xing Baohua led the motorcycle crew on a tour of the factory, from answering machines to silent phones, pagers, mobile phones, and recorders.

As the host, he even generously gave each of these foreigners a cordless phone.

This led some of the foreigners present to think to themselves, "Why not just give away a phone?"

Fortunately, they didn't bring out half of their bricks for comparison.

The people were then settled in a city hotel, and the negotiations were also held in the hotel's conference room.

The factory area is a huge construction site. Xing Baohua's two-story office building is too small.

To show our respect, we held the negotiation meeting in the conference hall of the city hotel, demonstrating our exceptional hospitality.

Walker Nim was the first to propose the possibility of investing in Xing Baohua Electronics Factory on behalf of Motorcycle.

Xing Baohua shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.

One of the city government officials who had come to observe the proceedings frowned slightly. The rejection was too hasty; they wouldn't consider it further.

There are currently no joint ventures in central Shandong. If an electronics factory were to cooperate with a foreign company to form a Sino-foreign joint venture, it would not only greatly increase the visibility of central Shandong, but also be of great help in further promoting the high-tech zone.

To everyone's surprise, Xing Baohua shook his head directly, not even bothering to persuade him.

After shaking his head, Xing Baohua continued, "If you want to build a factory in China, please give priority to central Shandong. Or we can build a new factory together."

Electronics factories cannot arbitrarily add shareholders, but they can take a step in with new cooperation models.
