Yang Yingzi!
This is an old acquaintance!
Zhou Hongyu's desire to watch the excitement was instantly aroused, so she ran over and was squeezed by the crowd to stand behind Liu Yuting.
Liu Yuting was accidentally bumped into, frowned and turned around. When she saw her, her expression immediately changed to a kind one, and she said warmly, "Sister-in-law Xingwang!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded and asked her, "What happened?"
Liu Yuting half-covered her mouth with her hand: "It is said that the owner of this shop is ruthless. Because of a past feud, he cut off the person's livelihood, causing the girl who caused trouble to lose her job!"
In this era, job opportunities are scarce, and the streets are full of unemployed people. Some people are truly willing to risk their lives for a job.
"Everyone, come and see! See the true colors of this shop! Will you still dare to do business with them in the future? They said my work attitude was bad! They even went to the boss and forced me to be fired! Is this how you do things?! Are they even human...?"
Zhou Hongyu stood on tiptoe and could see much further than Liu Yuting, who was half a head shorter than her.
That voice sounds familiar.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that she had met the troublemaking girl once before.
The braided woman who used to swagger around the back gate of the garment factory!
Zhou Hongyu clicked her tongue and shook her head. How long has it been since the tables turned?
Yang Yingzi stood inside the shop, watching with impatience the woman with braided hair causing trouble at the shop entrance.
She snorted coldly a few times, raised her hand, and ordered the burly men who had been blocking the door to drive the woman with braids out.
"In the end, it's still because you're useless. If you're so capable, go to the garment factory leaders and make a scene to force them to terminate the cooperation!"
"Who do you think you are, hiring a whole bunch of people to work for you? You're just a heartless capitalist from the old society. Back then, you should have been dragged out for public criticism and struggle sessions..."
The woman with braided hair was furious. Working in the garment factory was so comfortable, but this woman's wicked heart caused her to lose her job!
How could such a person have gained power!
Not long ago, the Yang family was just one of the garment factory's major customers. The garment factory had more power than any wholesaler, and even the woman with the braided hair dared to swagger over the many wholesalers.
But now the situation has taken a dramatic turn.
The garment factory became dependent on the Yang family, so Yang Yingzi gained the upper hand and immediately had the factory find an excuse to kick out the woman with the braided hair who had offended her.
Zhou Hongyu listened for a while and then found it boring. The outcome of the battle was already clear, and Yang Yingzi could easily deal with the woman with the braided hair.
Just as she was about to walk away, Liu Yuting came closer.
Liu Yuting: "A week ago, the garment factory launched a new style that had been in preparation for a long time. However, when the wholesalers who knew about it in advance went to purchase the goods, they found that they had been fooled. Not only was the quality poor, but the styles were also outdated! The goods they bought could not be sold, and they were all ripped off!"
"In the first half of the year, many private clothing companies from the south had set up offices in Beijing. Because of this incident, many wholesalers who sourced their goods from clothing factories turned to other suppliers. Clothing factories have a lot of unsold stock and are suffering serious losses!"
This is the problem with state-owned enterprises.
Even if we are willing to reform ourselves to keep up with the current social development, we are still only addressing the symptoms and not the root cause due to numerous internal obstacles. Most of the old employees in the factory still think about the old ways and the idea that if I don't do it, there will be plenty of others who will. Our competitiveness is far lower than that of our peers.
As someone who slacked off to the extreme in a state-owned enterprise, Zhou Hongyu has a deep understanding of this.
Liu Yuting said enviously, "The Yang family father and daughter have been making frequent moves lately, spending lavishly. For now, they're the only ones who can help the garment factory settle its accounts. Moreover, I've discovered that the reason they can take on so much stock is entirely due to..."
That's where the conversation ended.
Zhou Hongyu smiled and glanced at Liu Yuting. "Do you think I'm interested in knowing what I didn't finish saying?"
No!
Zhou Hongyu patted Liu Yuting on the shoulder with a smile: "There are no friends in business. You'd better keep this important information a secret!"
Hahaha--
Liu Yuting struggled to maintain a smile, which looked more like a grimace than a cry.
She didn't want to leave things unsaid, but business at the shop was indeed bad. She wanted to use this information to gain Zhou Hongyu's favor and get her to come up with ideas to improve the situation.
Zhou Hongyu wasn't fooled; she was panicking!
"Sister-in-law Xingwang, let's have a chat..."
Stop!
Zhou Hongyu, hands in her pockets, exuded confidence: "Oh dear, don't try to confide in me about trivial matters. Our business is booming, and we're busy getting back to work!"
The two busiest places on this street are in front of Brother Zhou's dried goods store and in front of the store where the trouble is now taking place.
After saying that, Zhou Hongyu walked away on her own, and Liu Yuting ran after her.
"I'm telling you this myself, this is what I wanted to tell you!"
I don't want to at all!
Liu Yuting grabbed Zhou Hongyu's arm, and Zhou Hongyu pretended to be weak and let her hold her.
Liu Yuting: "Our two families are separated by only a wall. After observing for the past few days, I found out that the Yang family father and daughter have met a big boss. This big boss is a nouveau riche from Hebei Province. He has huge demand and can buy up any amount of goods!"
She added, "I know a little about the big boss; he used to be a regional agent for a private clothing company in southern China!"
This information is valuable!
Zhou Hongyu nodded with satisfaction, but she did not intend to help Liu Yuting with her request.
Who told this store to get involved with Liu Yujie!
She was extremely stingy and didn't want to give any of Chang Xingwang's rumored love interest any benefit.
Liu Yuting tentatively asked, "What about the business in our store..."
Zhou Hongyu patted Liu Yuting's shoulder hard, her face serious: "Yuting, don't be silly, you'll work yourself to death to do someone else's work!"
Liu Yuting immediately disregarded everything else and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Although Liu Yujie, the second sister, had ulterior motives, she genuinely provided Liu Yujie, a former educated youth returning to the city and unemployed, with an opportunity to support herself.
Zhou Hongyu then said, "Yuting, let me tell you the truth, you might as well not do this business! Listen to what I have to say!"
"First of all, opening this shop was a mistake from the start. The costs were too high, and you yourself knew absolutely nothing about doing business!"
Liu Yuting nodded excitedly. Yes, if it weren't for this store in the first place, she wouldn't have been unable to sleep for nights on end, and wouldn't have been so stressed that she wanted to jump into the river.
"Secondly, it's alright that this shop is barely surviving. If you work your ass off to make the business thrive, it's uncertain whether the shop will even be yours in the future. Your second sister's in-laws are wealthy, and she has her own job, so I don't think she'll even consider it. But what about your own family?"
Liu Yuting was shocked; Xingwang's sister-in-law's words struck a chord with her!
She definitely had this idea in mind, and she was determined to make the business a success no matter what!
Although this shop has many flaws, it is currently her livelihood in the capital. If this shop is gone, her life will become even more difficult.
However, Liu Yuting never thought that her family would reap the benefits once the business improved. She had no status in the Liu family. If anyone, such as Granny Liu, were to have designs on her, her second sister, Liu Yujie, might actually agree to it to save trouble.
Thinking about this, Liu Yuting felt utterly disheartened.
I can't move forward, I can't retreat, there's no hope for this life!
Seeing that the time was right, Zhou Hongyu raised an eyebrow and said, "I have a plan..."
