Xia Enruo returned to the company and called lawyer Cao Shuo, instructing him to keep an eye on things at the court.
Expedite the litigation process.
This time, she was determined to use the law to teach Duan Mingrui a lesson and stop this lecherous old man from running rampant again.
**
A week later, Xia Enruo received a message from the government.
The study approved her proposal, but on one condition: every wool mill employee must be properly resettled.
No employee should be allowed to lose their job and file a petition.
Xia Enruo was absolutely confident that this was a piece of cake.
With the government's intervention, the court quickly convened a hearing.
Because Xia Enruo prepared very sufficient evidence.
Duan Mingrui was speechless and could not offer any excuses.
Ultimately, the court ruled in favor of Xia Enruo.
In order to resume production of wool mills as soon as possible
The Yongning Municipal Government submitted a report to its higher authorities, hoping that the province could take Yongning City as a pilot city to carry out the privatization reform of state-owned enterprises, and use the wool textile factory as a starting point to fire the first shot.
Thanks to the central government's document, the provincial government quickly approved the proposal.
There is a legitimate reason for the Yongning Municipal Government to do this.
Guan Dezheng and Zhou Yannan felt much more at ease with the approval from the higher-level government.
They dared to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
Duan Mingrui was dumbfounded when he saw that the situation was hopeless, and he slunk home to wait for news from the government.
He thought to himself that he was, after all, a state cadre, even if the wool mill didn't need him to be the factory director.
I need to arrange another position for myself, at least one at the same level as before, to be reasonable.
There are plenty of large state-owned factories in Yongning City, so what does losing one wool textile factory matter?
The government sent staff to the wool mill to hold a workers' meeting and announced the privatization reform.
This was met with opposition from all the employees, who thought that being a state-owned enterprise meant having a secure job.
Now that it's privately owned, doesn't that make it an object of capitalist exploitation?
Who knows when you might lose your job and be gone in an instant?
Duan Mingrui continued to sabotage behind the scenes, using his remaining influence.
He had his trusted subordinates spread the word among the workers.
It is said that once the wool mill becomes privately owned, all the employees will be fired and lose their jobs.
Xia Enruo and his team would have their company's employees replace the factory workers.
In the end, all the last few hundred people had to go home and sit there. At that time, they were truly helpless and had no one to turn to.
Private business owners don't care whether they live or die.
Upon hearing this, the factory workers launched wave after wave of opposition.
Especially the older workers who have worked in the factory for most of their lives.
I was thinking that I could work for a few more years and then retire and collect my pension.
Now they're being sent home to starve to death.
They were the most vocal in their opposition, and a group of them were even planning to drag banners and cause trouble in front of the government building.
Finally, the government had no choice but to call Xia Enruo to the wool mill so that she could explain to all the workers how to run the business after taking over.
In the auditorium, she stood on the stage and put forward her idea: workers should collectively invest in the company.
She had been thinking about this for several days, and she had long anticipated the wave of opposition from the workers.
In this era, any normal person would oppose it, which is understandable given the historical context.
So she came up with the idea of workers collectively investing in the company.
Aren't they afraid of being fired because they have no job security?
Why not take over and offer 40% of the wool mill's shares, allowing all the factory workers to become shareholders?
In this way, everyone is not only an employee but also a shareholder, receiving not only a salary but also dividends from their shares at the end of the year.
The more profitable the wool mill, the more everyone earns, which provides greater security, and everyone becomes a small business owner in the wool mill.
This way, everyone is working for themselves, which also boosts everyone's enthusiasm for work—it's a win-win situation.
After Xia Enruo stood on the stage and announced the matter through a megaphone, everyone looked at her.
Even government staff found it novel, as it was the first time they had ever heard of employees investing in shares.
Seeing everyone staring at her, Xia Enruo took a deep breath and explained in detail.
"Comrades, everyone is a shareholder in the factory. Doesn't that provide any security?"
Based on current operating income, everyone's annual earnings are now twice what they used to be.
If we perform well, we could earn four to five times more money than we do now.
Are you happy if you earn five years' worth of money in one year?
If you earn the equivalent of fifty years of work in the past in ten years, you could retire now!
The audience burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Seeing that things were looking promising, Xia Enruo continued:
"If you retire or decide you don't want to work in the factory anymore and want to go out and start your own business, you can redeem your shares and get a sum of money back then."
This is equivalent to you taking out insurance for yourselves, giving you an extra layer of protection.
You don't need to worry that the wool mill will go bankrupt after privatization; it's not even producing anything right now.
If the wool mill is not privatized and continues to be state-owned and maintain the status quo, it will definitely not be able to pay wages within six months. Are you going to hold onto the wage slips the factory gives you and wait for it to have money before it pays you?
"Without a salary, I'm just registered as a state-owned factory worker. What's the difference between that and being laid off and unemployed?"
The audience fell silent; that was indeed the case.
Xia Enruo continued:
“Once I take over the factory, I will immediately move my Diwei clothing production line here.”
My brand now has boutiques in major cities across the country, and business is booming.
Right now, only I, Xia Enruo, can save the wool mill. You will all follow me to be the masters of the factory and make big money!
"Or you can cling to the state-owned wool mill and wait for it to go out of business and close down, then go home. The choice is yours."
After Xia Enruo finished speaking, she placed the megaphone on the table and sat back down in her seat.
She looked at the crowd below, all staring at each other in silence; the initial chaos had long since dissipated.
Only the sound of everyone's panting could be heard.
The government staff truly admired Xia Enruo's business acumen and talent; no wonder she could run such a large business.
After waiting for a while, a buzz of whispers and murmurs arose from the audience.
Suddenly, Ding Yanbin, the workshop director of the wool mill, stood up from the crowd, raised his hand, and shouted:
"I'm willing to work with Boss Xia!"
His voice pierced through the auditorium, loud and clear, and everyone looked at him.
Then several young people stood up one after another.
"I'd love to!"
"I do!"
"I do!"
The second, the third, the fourth, the fifth~~~~~
The employees below the stage slowly stood up and shouted.
Xia Enruo was moved to tears by this scene; she hadn't expected everyone to support her so much.
I thought they would oppose it for a while longer, and I was thinking about how to deal with it.
It now seems completely unnecessary.
