For guys with weak legs.
Director Wu took it away without much effort.
The main reason he was able to come this time was because the amount of money involved in this case was too high, and the whereabouts of these funds were unknown. It needed to be thoroughly investigated, and who knows, we might catch a big fish.
After the people from the Municipal Bureau left.
Everyone looked at Wang Shouren with awe.
Just kidding, someone who can directly get the city bureau to arrest someone—that's some kind of powerful connection.
Some people present were happy, while others were sad.
Wu Yong didn't seem to care much.
After all, this factory most likely belongs to Wang Shouren.
"Alright, the parasites are gone. Now, let's talk about the next steps. The technical department will be getting some new staff, and I'll be transferred over in a few days."
"Furthermore, this is my next rectification plan. What about the original workshop director?"
“Here!” Dai Wu immediately stood up.
"Very good. You will now be in charge of both workshops. I will send someone down to assist you."
"Yes!" Wei Wu immediately agreed.
Normally, he would never agree to this; it would be threatening his job! He was even planning to go further. However, the intimidation he just witnessed was enough to make him agree.
"In addition, the technical department."
"Yes!" Zhang Dong immediately stood up.
"New machine tools will be arriving soon. Remember to receive them; I designed them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Of course, before you ask me, I hope you can read the instruction manual yourself. If your abilities don't satisfy me, I will replace you as the head of this technical department."
"Really...really? Factory Manager!" Zhang Dong's eyes lit up.
To be honest, he was already fed up with those old fogies in the factory. When there were new machines, Wang Shouren became the boss, no question about it.
Wu Yong looked at his restless subordinates and smiled helplessly. With things looking up now, the factory would probably be able to regain its vitality.
Under Wang Shouren's methodical arrangements, the factory's operations gradually began to clarify its responsibilities. The meeting lasted the entire morning. To everyone's surprise, Wang Shouren didn't announce when production would begin; instead, he focused on arranging logistical matters. This reassured them somewhat.
Kui Datou, Yuan Li, and Yuan Wai followed Wang Shouren out.
"Phew, I'm really tired." Kui Datou stretched.
“You should follow the workshop director, Kui Datou, and the workshop director position will be yours.”
"Huh?" Kui Datou was stunned. He never expected Wang Shouren to suddenly say such a thing.
"No, boss, I can't do this."
"Just hold on for now. If you want to slack off, train your own people. This factory is very important to me. If we want to make money off those white pigs, we have to rely on this factory."
"Hey, boss, there's nothing more I can do here. You already took care of everything, didn't you?" Kui Datou scratched his head, feeling it was a waste of his talents. He had indeed started to look down on these things; after all, he made six figures in one go by trading goods in the south.
“There’s no point in dealing with those things,” Wang Shouren said. “You should leave your business to Yuan Wai.”
Yuan Wai's eyes lit up; he had long wanted to experience what it was like to be in charge.
"No, boss..."
"I know you're in a hurry, but hold on. Let me ask you, do you know the essence of trading?"
"Huh? The essence of a transaction? Isn't it just you selling me something, and me reselling it?"
“No.” Wang Shouren shook his head: “Everything has value. Steel has its value, but that’s its most basic value. We can add value to it through technology. A block of iron that originally costs one yuan can be forged into a kitchen knife worth ten yuan. Forging is a skill. And you can buy a kitchen knife for ten yuan from me and sell it elsewhere for twelve or thirteen yuan. It doesn’t matter.”
"The important thing is that I can replace you at any time, do you understand? Because I have the technology, I can be invincible. Even if you get the right to buy the iron block one day, you won't be able to realize its true value."
"And the competition between nations is the same." At this point, Wang Shouren took a deep breath: "Our country mostly sells basic commodities like iron. But those white pigs sell us things like motorcycles. Do you understand the difference?"
A simple example immediately made Kui Datou understand the difference.
"I get it, boss! So, you're going to use these things to harvest them from the outside world. But do we really have an advantage?" Kui Datou frowned. It wasn't that he was underestimating himself; in this era, when people mentioned those white pigs, everyone talked about their advanced technology. Everyone knew they were lagging behind.
"That's my concern. What you should be concerned about is how to manage that workshop."
"What's so difficult about that?" Kui Datou said dismissively.
"Heh, then good luck." Wang Shoure patted Kui Datou's shoulder meaningfully.
He thought that once those few corrupt officials were gone, everything would be fine. Little did he know, the real struggle was just beginning. The real challenge lay with the regular employees. Thirteen years ago, Wang Shouren proposed the idea of a refined assembly line, and after thirteen years, not a single factory had successfully established one.
Why? Because this thing is too tiring and doesn't align with their interests.
Now, Kui Datou has to deal with this group of officially employed workers.
For some reason, Kui Datou suddenly shuddered. Many years later, when he recalled those days, he couldn't help but shudder again, and then burst into a tirade of curses…
Wang Shouren noticed that Yuan Li, who didn't talk much, looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong, Xiao Li? Is there a problem?"
Of the three, Yuan Li was the one Wang Shouren favored the most.
Over the years, under Wang Shouren's supervision, they have been studying diligently. Yuan Li's progress is the most encouraging among them, although he is rather introverted and doesn't like to talk much. Wang Shouren plans to give him some experience so that he can be independent in the future.
“Exactly, I feel like this matter is a bit too simple.” Yuan Li hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Too easy?"
"Hmm, it's too simple, how should I put it..." Yuan Li didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
“They’re like villains in a novel. They should be very powerful, but you took them down in no time, boss. I think they’re too weak.” Yuan Wai directly spoke up for Yuan Li.
