Opening (ending with a big addition)
After sending out the invitations, Chen Jin thought over and over again whether he had missed anyone.
Shen Baichuan said that his friends also wanted to come and play, so Chen Jin wrote the invitation and brought it to him. Although it is okay not to have invitations, there are still some empty invitations left at home. Writing them and giving them to others will add a sense of ceremony and show her seriousness.
After thinking it over again and again, I realized that I had not missed anyone. I feel much more relieved. There are still two copies that have not been sent out. It just so happened that she was going to attend a meeting at Sifang Travel Agency, so she took the invitation with her.
This time she also asked Nie Rong to go with her. Her own makeshift team is becoming more and more organized, and she even employs a professional lawyer.
Chen Jin is still very cautious in this regard. She has to think carefully about everything she signs. If she doesn't have a lawyer to help her look over it, she will be nervous. I have heard a lot of stories about people being cheated by exploiting loopholes in contracts.
Think about it, it's a bit difficult for me to start studying law from scratch now, so I'd better find some help.
Last time, my third cousin, Jiang Weiguo and Huang Hao had a private argument, and now it seems that there is no problem. At least there is no problem on the surface.
But she didn’t know about it privately, and she wouldn’t ask her third cousin: Are you three having a quarrel?
As long as everyone has a consensus on "making money", the current peaceful situation will not be broken.
It was also because of the reference of Sifang Travel Agency that Chen Jin did not think of letting other people to invest in it. He still had to have absolute say. Otherwise, once a dispute arose, several parties would be involved, which would be quite troublesome.
Jiang Weiguo said with emotion: "Third sister is going to start her own company. You have taken a big step forward."
Chen Jin didn't try to be modest with them, and said, "It's indeed a big step, we'll have to wait and see what happens next."
Without much chit-chat, they soon divided the new shares. Now each person has 20%, because with the arrival of new partners, they have to give up some of their shares. In addition, an additional investment of 100,000 plus the second quarter dividend was made. When you calculate it, it is actually equivalent to returning to the stage where you are not making any money.
Uh, that's not right. That's not the case. If she sells 20% of what she has, she can still make a lot of money compared to the cost she invested.
Nie Rong helped her look over the contract. There were several questionable points that needed to be clarified in the contract. Finally, a new version of the contract was revised. Only then did Chen Jin sign it and hand over the money she brought.
Chen Jin smiled and said, "Thanks for bringing a lawyer with you. I don't understand all the clauses in the contract, but if there are any loopholes, they can be filled in time."
"Yes, the country's laws are gradually being improved. If some contracts are still old versions, they must keep up with the times, otherwise they may fall into disputes." Nie Rong said, taking out two business cards and giving them to Huang Hao and Jiang Weiguo, and introducing himself and the Bisheng Law Firm again.
After signing the contract, Chen Jin went to attend the company meeting. By the way, I also met the two new members of the gang.
The two men had a very casual attitude and it seemed like they didn't take Sifang Travel Agency seriously at all. They just came here for formality.
The third cousin said, "You did the same thing before, just coming here to show your face and go through the motions."
It’s just that Chen Jin paid money at that time. Now the two of them are contributing the resources they have and part of the money.
"That's true." Chen Jin thought about it and realized that he had indeed been like that before.
Thinking of what Nie Rong said before he left after helping, Chen Jin looked back as he and his third cousin walked to the backyard parking lot. Seeing no one behind them, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Third brother, now in Sifang Travel Agency, you and I only have 40% together. You and Brother Jiang have a better relationship. You two have to be of one mind. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we will be the ones squeezed out."
The third cousin raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you were really too lazy to take care of the travel agency and were just waiting to get your dividends."
Chen Jin snorted twice, "I do have some brains, okay?! Besides, outsiders are not as reliable as my own family. If you dare to cheat me, I can still go to my third uncle and aunt. If someone else cheats me, can I go to their family to seek justice? It's good enough that they don't kick me out."
Without anyone of her own in the travel agency, she has no idea how much she will earn.
"I'm not stupid. Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't get ripped off." The third cousin put his hands in his pockets and stared at her driveway. "I'm also going to pick up a new car. I won't agree to anyone stopping me from making money to buy a new car."
"What's that expression on your face?"
"Nothing." Chen Jin said: "Chen Yongan said that he earned money to buy a new game console."
They are real brothers.
Chen Jin sighed, "Am I the only one who wants to make money to build a building?"
The third cousin glanced at her dimly and said, "If there's a lot of money, who wouldn't want it?!"
"Someone has a lot of money and just wants to buy a car." Chen Jin didn't say who it was, but took a few quick steps and said without turning his head, "I'm going to visit my company. Third brother, you must prepare a big red envelope for me in a few days!"
We need to collect gifts to recover some of the costs.
—
In the following days, Chen went to Baiyou every day. The customized plaque had been delivered, with a red cloth hanging on it, and it would be hung up on the opening day.
The painting and renovation inside were carried out in order. The first place to start work was one of the small workshops that was converted into the design department. It was 50 square meters, so it was not a small place. Because it was the first refurbished one, it is now in use.
The design department now has several second-hand sewing machines, as well as a long wooden table with a lot of cut fabrics on it and samples on the shelves next to it. There are also many new styles on the market, and the photos are posted on a piece of wood...
In addition, the warehouse and office building have also been renovated. The most important thing for a warehouse is fire prevention and flood prevention. The office building is just painted and equipped with simple office supplies.
In addition to the reading room on the first floor, there are several department signs hung up, including Personnel Department, Logistics Department, Finance Department, Marketing Department, Sales Department, Factory Director, Boss... which just completes the eight offices on the first floor.
She also has her own separate office.
When I went in, I saw that many things were second-hand items...Yes, everyone knows that money should not be spent carelessly nowadays.
The rest of the place, including the cafeteria, the auditorium and two workshops, one large and one small, are now being painted.
The ping-pong table, the court, and the roads inside have all been cleaned thoroughly.
Chen Jin brought food every day and wandered around the place. He soon became familiar with the ten full-time employees in the company, including Uncle Wang.
Excluding Geng Xin, there are only two people in the design department. The rest are three in the marketing department, three in the sales department, and one is in charge of logistics, who is actually in charge of everything.
Accountants and cashiers are part-time jobs. They don't come here every day, only two or three days a month.
Everyone's name gradually became settled: Director Geng, Boss Chen.
Chen Jin was too lazy to correct it, so let it be. Anyway, there is a company sign outside, and also a Baiyou Garment Factory sign, and you can call him boss or factory manager.
Chen Jin and Uncle Wang took small stools and sat in front of the guard room door, enjoying the fans, eating watermelon and chatting. From time to time, they saw children of former workers of Baiyou Garment Factory coming over to peek.
"Before the factory was vacant, the children from the staff quarters came over to play ball. Now they are not allowed to go in or out."
"Oh." Chen Jin took a bite of watermelon and asked, "Why did the Baiyou Garment Factory's staff quarters change to the Nansheng staff quarters?"
"It's just rumors out there, what Nansheng's staff quarters? Less than one-fifth of the people there work for Nansheng. Most of them are former Baiyou employees."
Chen Jin came here every day and learned a lot of information from Uncle Wang. For example, the original Baiyou Garment Factory also had a group of old ruffians, including both old men and old women, who were like rolling on the ground and making trouble.
"Don't worry, I'll beat whoever comes. The Changhe Town Police Station is not far ahead. My cousin and nephew work there. I'll bring a phone to call for help."
Chen Jin smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay. They dared to cause trouble when I opened my business. The people in our village are not vegetarians."
What kind of rolling pin meat? Just fry it in a pan and they will know they are wrong.
"Hey, Uncle Wang, are there any of those old rascals who are particularly good at fighting?"
"Oh! They are all fake. They can only cry and make a scene, but they don't dare to do anything. These are bad habits passed down from the past. After making a scene, the factory can turn big things into small things. The leaders are soft-hearted and have made these people thick-skinned."
"Just don't fight. We should strive to be a civilized unit. It's not good to have group fights. It will give us a bad reputation."
"That's right. Just report it to the police when the time comes." Uncle Wang looked down and chuckled, saying, "Your orange cat is well-raised. It's not afraid of people."
Daju has been following Chen Jin around every day recently, following him everywhere. When people in the company see him, they all have to touch him. He has already become familiar to everyone.
Chen Jin glanced at Daju who was pulling at Uncle Wang's trouser legs and said, "When you are greedy, you are not afraid of anything."
After saying that, he patted Daju's paw and said, "You can't eat it anymore."
—
The company opened at 10 o'clock and Chen Jin arrived at 8 o'clock.
There’s no way, I’m too excited and thrilled.
Whenever I think about the fact that this company belongs to me, I can't help but smile.
I dressed myself up before going out, tried on several clothes in front of the mirror, and finally decided to wear a skirt I had bought at a minimalist clothing store before. Although it is not particularly eye-catching, this dress is more meaningful.
She combed the big orange's hair to make it neat and tidy, and repeatedly talked to it: "If you behave well today, don't act naughty or cause trouble, I will buy you delicious food and new toys."
Then I pressed its head myself and it agreed.
"Shen Baichuan, good morning. I'll go over first."
But it didn't work, and in the end she still took Shen Baichuan with her, because he said: "I'm free anyway, I haven't been to your company yet, I'll go take a look first."
Isn't it the same whether you go early or late? !
In that case, let’s go together.
Daju had been going out happily, but in the end someone took his seat. He lay listlessly on the back seat, looking up from time to time at Shen Baichuan in the passenger seat.
Chen Jin saw it from the rearview mirror and laughed, "It must be angry that you took its place."
Shen Baichuan glanced back and was indeed angry, and said helplessly: “I want to hug it, but it won’t.”
"Because I feel too hot to hold you in my arms." Chen Jin helped Daju explain. When I first got in the car, the air conditioner wasn't even on yet.
As they drove along, Shen Baichuan listened to Chen Jin humming tunes all the way, some of which sounded familiar, but most of them were unfamiliar. He suspected that she was just humming impromptu and had no idea what she was humming.
He didn't say anything either, just quietly shared her good mood.
At the same time, I thought about how I felt when I started my current company. It seemed like I was busy all the time at the time. Looking back now, there’s nothing I’m particularly happy about.
But he also likes his company very much. He built it from scratch and made it better and better. Even though there is a lot of pressure on him, the sense of accomplishment makes him feel that the pressure is not worth mentioning.
Looking at Chen Jin again, she probably had the same idea. But she was always happy in everything she did.
Although she had been here quite often during this period, she knew the progress of the decoration and renovation inside and had a basic idea of it. But looking at it again today, I still feel it is different.
A new sign has been hung next to the old sign of the former Baiyou Garment Factory, but it is still covered with red cloth and has not been unveiled. It's not time yet.
Suddenly I really want to brag.
"The inside has been repainted. People said this is an old factory that is 20 or 30 years old, but no one believed it. Look at the gate. It has been replaced. It has become more impressive all of a sudden."
"Hey, which company is as good as ours? Our parking lot is bigger than others!"
"It's a little late to open, otherwise we could share mangoes with everyone, haha."
"Look at our company's configuration. There is an office building, a large cafeteria, and an auditorium! In the back..."
Today is indeed a good day calculated by Xichan Temple, even the weather is cooperating!
Chen Jin took Shen Baichuan around for a while, then met up with Geng Xin and waited for the guests to come in front of the office building.
Her family members arrived the earliest and were not surprised to see Geng Xin, after all, they had met him once before during dinner. Later, Chen Jin also said that Geng Xin was her partner.
But what about Shen Baichuan who was standing next to Chen Jin?
Everyone in the family was curious, but since today was a big day, they had to put their questions aside for the time being.
Shen Baichuan smiled and nodded at them, they looked at Chen Jin, without any reaction, and nodded in response with mixed feelings.
Chen Yongan felt like there was a microphone in his heart. He really wanted to ask, but he restrained himself because he knew that his third sister was very busy today. Silently moved aside with Sister Jia Jia.
"It's really tiring for my third sister to run a company."
Chen Jia looked up at him and asked, "Aren't you tired of doing odd jobs?"
"...That's right. Making money is always tiring."
We are family, so there is no need to be polite. Chen Jin just wants to know that everyone is here.
My aunt and uncle were called away by my uncle before they could say a word.
Friends came one after another.
While greeting people, Chen Jin introduced Geng Xin. She and Geng Xin are now in the same boat, and when she and her friends get together for dinner in the future, she will definitely call Geng Xin.
This was the first time she met the friends brought by Wei Zhenhua and Xiang Qian, but after hearing where they worked, Chen Jin said in her heart that Ling Yun’s friends understood her so well!
This will prevent those "old heroes" from thinking that she and Geng Xin are just young people showing off.
Wei Zhenhua saw that there were many people coming later, many of whom were Shen Baichuan's friends. He had met them before when Chen Jin organized a dinner party, so he waited in the office building and said to Chen Jin, "You go about your business, don't worry about us."
She really couldn’t manage it, so she turned to find Shen Baichuan and said, “Your cousin and the others are here too, why don’t you take them in for a look?”
Just as he finished speaking, Qin Yi, Xiong Jiahao, Xue Zhonghua came over, as well as two other people he didn't know. Chen Jin couldn't remember their names for a moment. She was the one who wrote the invitation, but she was suddenly too busy today.
"Teacher Chen, congratulations."
When these people stopped the car and walked over, Qin Yi suddenly said, "Look at my brother and Teacher Chen. Do they look like they are guarding the door to collect money for a wedding?"
It would have been fine if they didn't say it, but once they did, several people started laughing. The more you look at it, the more similar it is!
So, when they came over to congratulate, everyone was as happy as if they had won the lottery. Shen Baichuan glanced at them and knew that these people must be up to no good.
With Shen Baichuan and Wei Zhenhua around, the two friends had a lot to talk about. Shen Baichuan saw that Chen Jin was indeed busy, and he looked at Wei Zhenhua, and the two of them called their friends to the auditorium.
The villagers also arrived early.
Not to mention family and friends, they are all close relatives, so it is normal for them to come early to show their support. But most of the villagers live in Xicheng District. It’s so early, just after nine o’clock, are they almost all here? !
It seems that everyone is very interested in her company.
Aunt Zhou and her family came here by taxi. When they first arrived, they stood at the door and looked at it for a long time, clicking their tongues non-stop.
Once this happened, there would be a second time. Gradually, the villagers got out of their cars at the door one after another, mainly to look at the old sign at the door.
"I bought clothes from Buyyou before. It's been more than ten years."
"Stop talking about your past history here. Today is the opening day of my third sister's new company."
"Can't you just stop talking? Humph."
Most people in the village had complicated feelings. When Chen Jin went to deliver the invitations, he said he wanted to try to open a small company. Can this be called a small company? ! They should have thought of it earlier.
My third sister said before that she did okay in the exam, but she got first place...
She said she didn't get much money, but she immediately bought a piece of land...
envious! envy!
But the village chief just said that whoever speaks nonsense today will have to think about what he does next...
Everyone's heart sank. If my third sister goes to a wedding in the future and talks nonsense...
"We in our own village know what's going on, so don't worry!" Even if they don't know, we have to know!
Then a group of people walked in together.
Chen Jin laughed and approached Geng Xin, saying to her, "Do you think the people from our village look like they are here to cause trouble?"
"It's a bit similar." Geng Xin didn't quite understand. Chen Jin had said several times that the people in their village were good at talking.
"Third sister, congratulations!"
"Congratulations, go in first. There is food and drink inside."
My uncle and his companions were helping to greet the villagers who arrived first to sit in the auditorium or walk around.
The uncle wiped his sweat and laughed, "Third sister, this company is too big, haha."
As if both worried and proud.
Chen Jin wanted to go into her office several times to get a loud speaker so that he could speak louder without having to shout to greet people.
Cars drove in one after another. A young man from the marketing department pointed the way with a small flag in front of him. "Please stop over here."
I forgot to put up a parking lot sign, which was a bit of a mistake.
But who could have imagined that there would be so many cars? !
The factory manager said: Call some old friends from Baiyou to come over and have some fun.
The boss said: I just want my family and friends to come over to support us.
Whether it was the new employee who was already very familiar with Chen Jin, or the old employee of the former Baiyou Factory who came early to offer help, they were all stunned. Seeing that most people had arrived, Chen Jin went to the auditorium to greet them.
They finally found an opportunity to ask, "Director Geng, who is Boss Chen?"
They knew that their boss was a wealthy man and would drive over every day with her cat to check on the progress. But I didn’t know my boss knew so many rich people.
Geng Xin looked at the two rows of cars parked in the open space to the left of the gate, as well as the friends brought by Chen Jin's friends, including the leaders of the state-owned factory's superior units... She didn't know what to say.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry about who the boss is, just do your job well."
Everyone understood.
I automatically understood the factory director's words as: The boss is there even if the sky falls, so just do your job well.
In the auditorium, drinks, snacks, tables and chairs were all prepared early, so that people who came early could have a rest. I just didn't expect everyone to come so early...
But there’s no point in coming early. The shop opens at 10 o’clock, so we have to wait until 10 o’clock.
The second cousin smiled and said, "Third sister, you are quite popular."
"It's OK, it's OK." It was mainly because her friend's friend was popular, so she benefited from it. When Ling Yun comes back from vacation next time, she will take her to eat all over Rong City!
But to be honest, there are quite a lot of friends coming today. I didn't notice it when I sent out the invitations, but now I see that there are more than ten people. Fortunately, the people in his own village were taken care of by his uncle and his family, and the other "old friends" of Baiyou who were invited were also taken care of by Geng Xin.
So that she doesn't have to be too busy to handle everything, otherwise, she will be overwhelmed.
This gift money is not so easy to accept.
Chen Jincai had just finished speaking when Wei Zhenhua called him over again.
Wei Zhenhua thought that Shen Baichuan would come, but he didn't expect Shen Baichuan to bring his friends with him. It just so happened that the friends he brought had a project on hand...
He and Shen Baichuan knew each other, but they were not very familiar with each other. Of course, I have to ask Chen Jinlai to help act as a middleman to introduce them.
At 9:50, Geng Xin organized people to go out and prepare for the unveiling ceremony.
The eldest uncle and the third uncle were the busiest. They checked whether the offerings and firecrackers were ready, which made Chen Jin nervous as well. I almost tore the red envelope off the card.
When the time came, Chen Jin and Geng Xin unveiled the cards. At the same time, she could hear the sounds of applause and firecrackers. She saw that Daju was so scared that he jumped up and jumped into Shen Baichuan's arms...
This stupid cat was clearly at her feet just now, why didn’t he come to find her but Shen Baichuan?
"Hmm? The company is called Jinshun?"
"This name, uh, is quite smooth."
The new brand is Jinshun Company and the old brand is Baiyou Garment Factory.
Someone suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "Hey, Third Sister, are you going to start a big company in the future? You already have a clothing company, so you will have other things in the future, right?"
Chen Jin also laughed, "Thank you for your good words, the more the better."
The company name was also calculated by someone. It was not because she was vain and wanted to add her own character, but because a feng shui fortune teller said that this character was good. Anyway, she couldn't think of anything better, so this was it.
Once the cards are revealed, it's done. We'll go to the restaurant for dinner later. It’s not too far away, they are all in Dongcheng District anyway.
She was just inviting everyone to go to the restaurant when someone started singing at the gate.
"No, Third Sister, what's wrong with those old men and women? They are lying at the door and our car can't get out."
"What are they clamoring for? Do they want the factory to assign them jobs?"
Aunt Zhou frowned, "Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
Here, Geng Xin has already asked someone to go to the office to report to the police. Outside, Uncle Wang has already gone out with a wooden rake to chase people away...
Chen Jin's face was very calm. She knew that what was supposed to come would eventually come. If not today, then tomorrow.
Fortunately, she also called several aunts in advance.
What a pity, Aunt Ke Xin couldn’t come in the morning because she had something to do.
Chen Jin took a deep breath, his expression more serious than ever before, and said to his friends, "I'm going to make you laugh later."
Everyone was confused, especially Xiang Qian, who said with a smile: "Aren't they just here to cause trouble? I can just contact the nearby police station and ask someone to come and deal with it. I know the chief of the Changhe Town Police Station..."
"No, no." Chen Jin stopped him, "Sometimes, it's hard to reason with someone. I'll be back soon."
"Why......"
Oh no? You're already at the door, why are you running to the office?
Chen Jin brought out a box of red speakers.
