Chapter 108: After being reported, you guys just pretend that there is no such sister-in-law, no such...
Deputy Director Zhu acted quickly and held an unconventional voting meeting at Jiangcheng Garment Factory that afternoon.
He originally thought that no one would agree to sell the equipment in installments to Xu Heye's aunt and nephew, but he did not expect that 70% of the laid-off workers would vote in favor.
After getting the voting results, Deputy Director Zhang came over quietly.
"What was the result?"
Deputy Director Zhu showed him the voting results. "Old Zhang, you were right. Seventy percent of the employees agree to sell the machines to the aunt and nephew and work in their small workshop."
Deputy Director Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of pride, "I knew it was like this."
Deputy Director Zhu was a little amused: "Yes, yes, Lao Zhang, you have foresight."
Just as Dong Xinghua was about to go to another garment factory to look for a production line, she received a call from Deputy Factory Director Zhang. Dong Xinghua once again went to school, braving Chen Yuru's piercing gaze, and asked Xu Heye for half a day off.
My uncle was also among the people who went with us this time.
Xu Heye is a minor, and signing a contract with the factory requires the signature of a guardian. However, Xu Hui and Dong Taohua are both in Gan Province, thousands of miles away, and cannot come over.
Then the contract can only be signed in the name of Dong Xinghua or Dong Fuyun.
The three of them discussed it and decided to sign the contract in Dong Fuyun's name, and to apply for the business license in his name.
The contract process went very quickly. After all, both parties were sincere and all the details had been discussed beforehand. After signing, Xu Heye immediately handed over a deposit of 5,000 yuan to the finance department of Jiangcheng Garment Factory.
Within three months, the production line would be theirs. After three months, if they paid the final payment of 25,000 yuan as scheduled, the production line would be completely theirs.
After signing the contract, Xu Heye and Dong Fuyun left the garment factory to apply for a business license. With a production line and a factory building, the business license could be obtained.
Dong Xinghua stayed to clean.
The factory had been vacant for quite a while, and a lot of dust had accumulated inside. She couldn't work until it was clean. She borrowed a mop, broom, rag, and bucket from the garment factory, filled it with water, and began to clean the machines.
Not long after, a worker quietly walked into the factory with tools and started working with her.
Dong Xinghua felt a little touched and a little sad.
The two parties agreed that the official start date would be the 15th. Work has not started today, so there is no salary and the workers are helping with cleaning purely voluntarily.
"Uncle, you must ask clearly what other documents are needed besides the business license. As long as the staff asks you to do it, you should get it done. Don't try to save time, but don't be afraid of trouble." Many documents may seem unimportant at normal times, but if you don't have them at a critical moment, people will report you for sure.
"I see." Dong Fuyun nodded. "My uncle will go with your uncle Lu. He's smart, quick-witted, and has a good memory."
"Okay, I feel relieved that Uncle Lu is with you." Lu Jun is thoughtful and can see things that his uncle cannot see.
Dong Fuyun actually didn't think these certificates were that important. Not having a certificate before didn't prevent them from making and selling fake collars. With this much time, he didn't know how many fake collars he could sell.
But after their conversation last night, Dong Fuyun knew Xu Heye's determination. The girl was small but ambitious, and she was determined to run this small processing plant successfully.
So he followed Xu Heye's request and ran around for several days to get all the documents.
Dong Fuyun didn't know that not long after, he was extremely glad that when Xu Heye asked him to put down what he was doing and handle those simple documents, he did not disobey her.
"Oh right." Dong Fuyun thought of a question and turned back. "Now that we have rented a factory, a production line and regular workers, should we still rent the old church?"
Xu Heye thought about it and realized that there were originally fifty workers waiting to be laid off on the production line they bought, but now there are thirty-six workers willing to come to their small processing workshop to work.
These people are experienced hands with many years of experience. They work quickly and well, which can actually meet their production needs.
But - Xu Heye thought of those aunts and sisters who happily went to the old church to get work.
She does not deny that there are some not-so-good people among them, but most of them are honest and hardworking people who work hard with their own hands to earn money to support themselves and their children and elderly people at home.
Without them, her fake collar workshop might not be able to succeed, let alone buy a production line and make it bigger and stronger.
It can't be a one-size-fits-all approach.
Thinking of this, Xu Heye said to Dong Fuyun, "Uncle, we still have to rent the old church. Those women have been working for us since the beginning of our workshop. We can't just abandon them after buying the production line."
"But if that happens, won't we have too many people working for us? With so many people, we can produce thousands of fake collars every day. Can the existing wholesalers handle all that?"
"Even if we can digest it now, what about in the future? The fake collar market will eventually become saturated. What will we do then?"
Xu Heye: "Uncle, don't worry. Fake collars are booming, and we don't have to worry about overcapacity for at least the next two or three months. After that, I have other plans."
"If they don't make fake collars, what are they supposed to do?"
Xu Heye said, "Uncle, there's a TV series coming out in Guangdong Province recently called 'Public Relations Lady'. Have you seen it?"
"'Public Relations Lady'?" Dong Fuyun shook his head. "Why are you talking about this?"
"You'll know later." Xu Heye sold a lawsuit.
This drama is her God of Wealth.
A drama that ushered in an era for an industry is the drama "Public Relations Lady". The popularity of "Public Relations Lady" directly brought an industry into the spotlight - the public relations industry.
Many universities started offering public relations majors after this drama, and even the cases in early textbooks were taken from this drama.
But Xu Heye’s focus is not on the public relations industry, but on the uniforms in the play that will not be outdated even after 20 years.
The uniforms worn by the protagonist Sarengaowa and the other six PR ladies can be said to be fashion trends. Which woman would not be proud to own a set of the same uniforms?
During that period, everyone had a suit and uniform.
Young girls' yearning for urban beauties or white-collar workers also gradually developed after watching this drama.
However, the show is currently only broadcast in Guangdong Province, and while it has excellent ratings, its reach is limited. Its true popularity will not come until it is introduced to national television stations in July this year.
What Xu Heye needs to do is to find the right time and let the workers produce enough uniforms in advance so as to seize the market in time when this "uniform fever" comes.
But that's something we need to consider three months later.
For them now, the only way is to produce enough fake collars and sell them for more money, so that when the time is right, they will have the capital to eat as much of this big cake as possible.
In the blink of an eye, it was January 12, 1990, the day when all major middle schools held final examinations.
Xu Heye had just finished her exams and came out of school when she heard a piece of news - they had been reported.
"Why what?"
"They said we were using the old church illegally." Dong Fuyun finished speaking with a look of relief on his face. "He Ye, it's a good thing you allowed me to complete the rental paperwork, otherwise today would have been a disaster."
Without this lease document, the fabrics and fake collars they stored in the old church would be at risk of being seized and confiscated.
After the seizure, all production would grind to a halt. They didn't know how many gifts they would have to give and how many people they would have to beg to get their belongings back. Even if they could eventually get them back, the delay and losses would be incalculable.
"Captain Yu said we were really lucky because we were able to complete the formalities just before the whistleblower came to file a complaint."
If there was no such contract, Xu Heye and his team's use of the old church to store fabrics would be considered an illegal misappropriation of state assets. Even if no one cared about these assets normally, it would be a different matter if someone reported it.
Moreover, the property rights of the old church did not belong to their police station, so even if he wanted to help, he could not intervene.
"Are you okay now?"
"It's okay." Dong Fuyun shook his head. "When we were writing the lease contract, Lao Lu offered to pay an extra month's rent."
"That's good, uncle, do you know who the whistleblower is?" Only after learning that the matter was resolved perfectly did Xu Heye have the energy to ask the whistleblower.
Dong Fuyun's face turned ugly in an instant.
After a pause, he said directly: "Captain Yu told me privately that the informant's surname is Dai and he is a relative of ours."
"Relationship, surnamed Dai, is it my aunt Dai Ying?"
Dong Xinghua nodded: "That's her."
"Aunt, why?" Xu Heye frowned, then found it amusing. She wasn't surprised. After Dai Ying learned they were the ones running the fake collar workshop, she'd come and cause trouble several times.
Dong Xinghua asked her to cut, but she refused, saying her hands hurt. She asked her to sew, but she said her spine was weak and her back hurt from bending over. She asked her to trim thread, but she said the wages were low and she wouldn't make much money working a day.
After asking her in detail, I found out that she was thinking about the work in Huang Wangcheng's hands, and thought it would be very stylish to take a notebook and a pen and count the number of items for everyone.
Dong Xinghua naturally disagreed. Huang Wangcheng had always been responsible for statistics. He did it quickly and efficiently, so why should he be replaced? Furthermore, Huang Wangcheng was still a shareholder in their workshop.
Dai Ying was very unhappy after being rejected by Dong Xinghua.
That night, her uncle Dong Hongfu went to Xu Heye's rental apartment and made a scene, scolding Dong Xinghua and Dong Fuyun for being heartless and not caring about their family when they had something good to offer.
The two sides have completely broken off relations.
Dong Xinghua looked dejected. "But I really didn't expect that she would be the one to report us. He Ye, tell me, if our workshop goes under, what good will it do her?"
"Besides, is it because I don't want to give her a chance? She's the one who thinks she's too high up and doesn't want to do this or that. She's saying she's the boss's sister-in-law, but it's embarrassing to do the same job as a temporary worker."
"The boss's sister-in-law has no face to work, but I am still the boss's aunt. Why should I do everything?"
Dong Xinghua felt very uncomfortable: "He Ye, if the whistleblower was an outsider, even if it was your Aunt Lian, I wouldn't be so angry. Really, it had to be Dai Ying. What kind of relative is this? My dear sister-in-law is not as good as these neighbors."
At least after the neighbors knew they had been reported, they all came to comfort her.
But what about Dai Ying?
Not only did she not repent, she didn't even feel the slightest bit of guilt.
Whenever Dong Xinghua thought about what Dai Ying said when she went to find her after she knew that the whistleblower was her, she felt upset.
"What do you mean we deserve to be reported?"
"What do you mean we forced her to report it?"
"Isn't it that if I don't obey her every command, I'm forcing her?"
Dong Xinghua wiped away her tears and said, "Youngest, He Ye, from now on, just pretend that you don't have this sister-in-law or this aunt."
