Chapter 146 Gift "The agent, Xiao Wu, called me and she gave...
"My agent, Xiao Wu, called me and found two factories for us. One is close to the Jiangcheng Garment Factory, and it's also a large garment factory. But they want us to buy the equipment as well. The price is quite high."
"The other one is an empty factory building, also quite large, but located in a more remote area, in Hudong, where the rent is much cheaper."
Xu Heye nodded. "Auntie, please contact Sister Wu. Let's go check out these two factories today."
"Okay, I'll go now." Dong Taohua said, and went to the office to call the agency.
Xu Heye walked around the factory. The workshop was bustling with activity, with everyone rushing to make sportswear and hoodies.
Both versions of clothing are simple and elegant, and are easier to make than the previous suits, but the order quantity this time is much larger than before.
In addition to the spot goods, there are also many pre-orders.
The drama "Public Relations Lady" is indeed very popular and has also set off a wave of uniform fever, but to be honest, this wave of popularity is still more focused on urban men and women, but the Asian Games is different.
This is a feast for the whole nation.
All over China, men, women, young and old, except for babies who are still in swaddling clothes and can only drink milk, everyone will be excited about the holding of the Asian Games.
Even if you can't go to Beijing to watch the Asian Games, owning a set of Panda Torch sportswear or sweatshirt can also give you a sense of participation.
Seeing Xu Heye coming, the workers in the factory were a little excited, and many of them winked at their team leaders.
"Little boss." The team leader, who was urged by his teammates to come, called out to Xu Heye.
"What's up?"
The team leader wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said a little embarrassedly, "Young Boss, the workers in the factory want to buy some sportswear. Can you give us some at a discount, at the factory price?"
"No need." Xu Heye flatly refused. Seeing the team leader's disappointed look, she said, "You don't have to buy them. I'll give them to you, one set each. But the clothes won't be given to you until all the customer orders are shipped out. You can discuss in advance whether you want sportswear or hoodies, and then the factory will make them for you."
As soon as Xu Heye finished speaking, everyone became excited.
"Great, thank you, boss."
"You're welcome. Just work hard and try to wear your own clothes as soon as possible."
After Xu Heye finished speaking, she went to the office to find Dong Fuyun and asked him to remember to reserve about a hundred sets of sportswear fabrics when accepting pre-orders.
Dong Fuyun wondered: "What are you going to do with all this fabric?"
Xu Heye: "These are left for the masters in the factory."
She explained, "Just now, the team leader of the factory came to me and wanted to buy a set of sportswear from the factory. I made the decision and will not charge them and will give them a set for free."
"During this period, the factory was busy rushing out goods, and the workers were working overtime day and night. They helped us tirelessly and never asked for anything. It was rare for them to ask for something, so it wouldn't cost much to give them a set of clothes."
To be honest, the factory price of clothing is really not high, sometimes even less than one-fifth of the terminal retail price.
One or two pieces won't sell for much, so why not use them to win over employees? Employees feel a strong sense of belonging to the factory and are more willing to work hard for it.
Dong Fuyun nodded: "Okay, I understand."
He took out his notebook and wrote down the incident.
Xu Heye thought of the sweaty look on the team leader's forehead, and said, "Aunt, it's still too hot recently. Don't be short of summer heat relievers like Shi Di Shui and Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Shui. Buy some and put them in the workshop so that anyone can drink them if they get heatstroke.
We can also buy some dried lotus leaves, honeysuckle, mung beans, etc. and put them in the canteen. We can also pay them to help us make more lotus leaf tea, honeysuckle water, mung bean soup and other soups for the workers in the workshop."
Dong Xinghua: "Don't worry, since the beginning of summer, the factory has never been short of these traditional Chinese medicines and soups for cooling off."
Xu Heye nodded: "I trust my aunt to do things."
To be honest, many small private factories don’t have such small benefits now.
You say, it’s hot, what should we do if employees get heatstroke?
Just hang in there!
Ask for leave to go home?
That won’t do! If the construction period is delayed, wages will be deducted.
Because Dong Xinghua came from a working-class background, she could better understand the difficulties faced by these garment workers and was willing to provide them with some small benefits in the same way as the original state-owned factories.
Similarly, Xu Heye had also worked as a workshop worker before, and had also endured the discomfort of a high fever at 39. She knew how torturous it was for ordinary people to work hard and not dare to get sick or rest to earn a little food.
She is living a good life now, earning more money than she ever could in her previous life. It is only natural for her to provide some small benefits to the employees who earn her money.
"Auntie, when is Sister Wu free?"
"She is free now. She said she would take a taxi to pick us up and it would take about half an hour." Xu Heye nodded and decided to take this time to go to the warehouse.
The warehouse was also bustling with activity. Wang Anwen and four workers were busy shipping goods non-stop.
The bagged and sealed goods are moved to the large truck at the door. When the truck is full, it is transported to the train station and then sent to surrounding cities and even the whole country through the freight system of the train station.
"Manager Dong is here." Wang Anwen greeted Dong Xinghua with a smile when he saw her.
"Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work."
Wang Anwen shook his head: "Business is good at the factory, and I'm happy too."
In the past few months, his monthly salary has reached 400 yuan. You should know that he used to be on the bench in the old factory, earning only more than 150 yuan a month, and he could not afford to eat out several times a month.
Now, he can keep two hundred yuan for daily living expenses, and hehe, the remaining two hundred yuan can be used to go out to eat out several times.
