The next morning, Fu Wan and Fu Ming went to the cannery to check on its recent situation and because they needed to ride tricycles to the station to transport fish fry that afternoon.
As soon as Fu Ming arrived at the cannery, he went to the workshop. Wang Jianmin was extremely busy, but when he saw Fu Wan, he was immediately excited.
"Uncle Wang, what good news is there?"
Fu Wan has visited the cannery quite a few times this month, but Wang Jianmin was particularly happy today.
Something's not right!
Wang Jianmin laughed heartily, then opened a drawer and took out a stack of documents.
"Haha, factory manager, the verdict in the case we filed before has been handed down!"
This matter dragged on for several months, and Wang Jianmin and his lawyer went to the court at least ten times. Now that the result has finally come out, how could he not be happy!
Fu Wan carefully examined the documents in her hand. They clearly stated that Liuxing Canned Food Factory had infringed on their canned food patent and engaged in unfair competition. In addition to publishing an apology in the newspaper, they also needed to compensate Wuxing Canned Food Factory 10,000 yuan.
As for the two cannery employees who spoke out of turn, in addition to apologizing to Wang Jianmin, who represented the Five Star Cannery, in court, they were also fined two yuan.
Although the amount of money wasn't much, what Fu Wan wanted was the attitude. Neither of them had ever been to court before, and they were nearly scared to death in the courtroom.
After losing all his money, Liangren was fired from the Six Star Cannery and had no choice but to slink back to his hometown.
Not only that, Wang Jianmin also learned that the food hygiene department had conducted spot checks on the canned goods that Liuxing Canned Food Factory had put on the shelves of the supply and marketing cooperative.
It was only when they checked that they discovered a significant amount of capsaicin and poppy shell powder inside.
The results of the investigation caused a huge uproar in the county and even alarmed relevant departments in the province.
In just one week, all the food factories in the province were subjected to surprise inspections, and these inspections uncovered problems. Not only were the canned goods of Liuxing Canned Food Factory problematic, but the production workshop was also extremely dirty and chaotic.
Flies, rats, and cockroaches crawl everywhere, and the fish used to produce canned fish are cheap fish that are incredibly smelly.
In contrast, the Five Star Canned Food Factory workshop was clean and tidy, and all the data of the canned food met the standards. Su Jianshe from the TV station and Su Ran from the newspaper dug up the news from a few months ago.
The Five Star Canned Food Factory suddenly became famous, and orders increased significantly. Wang Jianmin has been extremely busy these past few days.
It's painful yet pleasurable!
I'm physically tired, but I'm in a good mood!
Fu Wan was overjoyed to see these results.
"Uncle Wang, you've been working so hard lately. I'll have the accountant give you a bonus later. Don't be so busy every day, remember to take a break and take care of your health!"
"Haha, I know, I just can't sit still. I don't need the bonus or anything, I already got a lot of money over the New Year..."
Wang Jianmin was a little embarrassed. His salary was basically the highest in the entire factory, sixty yuan a month. Even in the whole county, this salary was considered high.
Fu Wan wouldn't listen. "I'm giving you a raise because you work so hard. If you don't agree, how could I dare to let you keep working?"
After saying that, she turned to Accountant Xiao and instructed, "Uncle Wang's salary will be increased to one hundred a month. There are many orders these days, and everyone is working hard. In addition to the basic salary, a commission system will be adopted. From now on, everyone will get an extra five cents for each additional piece they make."
Management doesn't produce goods; 20% of the monthly profits are split equally between the finance and development departments.
The workers in the workshop have a clear division of labor: some specialize in processing fish, some make chili sauce, and some are responsible for bottling.
At least a hundred cans can be produced in a day, which means that everyone can earn several extra dollars a day.
Upon hearing this, Accountant Xiao perked up, "Okay, thank you, boss!"
Chen Guifang smiled and echoed, "Thank you, boss!"
Fu Wan waved her hand, and seeing that it was almost time, she went to the cafeteria for lunch.
The food at the cannery is now famously good. Not only is there meat at every meal, but there are also plenty of vegetables. Fu Wan even had seasonal fruits prepared. Although not everyone can have a whole fruit, everyone can still have a piece.
Seeing everyone's satisfied faces while eating, Fu Wan also felt a great sense of accomplishment.
After getting her food, Fu Wan simply sat down opposite Wang Jianmin.
"Hey Uncle Wang, is there any follow-up to what happened with the food processing plant selling its production line last time?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jianmin stopped eating and sighed.
"There's been no follow-up on the production line issue, but I suspect they might actually sell the factory!"
"Oh, how so?"
Fu Wan looked surprised. The food processing plant was doing well, so it shouldn't have run into financial problems so quickly.
Fu Ming, who was standing nearby, also came over when he heard there was gossip going on.
"This matter is still related to the Six Star Canned Food Factory. After the production line there was found to be dirty and disorderly, other food factories were also inspected."
To be honest, there aren't many places in the entire county, or even the entire city, that are as particular about food hygiene as our cannery.
So the food processing plant was also found to have some problems. Although it wasn't as dirty as the Six Star Canned Food Factory, it wasn't much better. The expired flour used to make peach shortbread was a minor issue; the sesame seeds in the warehouse were also mixed with rat droppings.
After this incident was exposed, the food factory saw almost no orders. I ran into Old Zhou at work the other day; half of his hair had turned white!
After Wang Jianmin finished speaking, he sighed. They had all worked in the factory for most of their lives, and once the factory closed down, they basically lost their source of income.
But he's not as old as younger people, so he can't make it in the south to work.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan immediately set her sights on the food factory.
There was no other way; the land was very large, which was perfect for creating a new business map for her.
"Uncle Wang, then you'll have to work a little harder later. If the food factory really ends up being sold, we have to seize the opportunity!"
"Okay, don't worry about it!"
Wang Jianmin readily agreed. Fu Wan had offered him good treatment, and he believed that if Fu Wan bought the food processing plant, she would continue to run it.
The thought of both large factories eventually belonging to his boss filled Wang Jianmin with excitement.
After lunch, Fu Wan glanced at the time and saw that Jiang Wanghai was about to arrive at the station, so she and Fu Ming rode their tricycle to the station.
Strangely enough, the weather has been overcast for the past two days since they returned from their sea voyage. Fu Wan had been thinking about whether to find a pickup truck or a van to transport the fish fry, but when she saw the weather, she decided to just use a tricycle.
As the station announcement came on, Fu Wan and Fu Ming waited at the exit for a short while before they saw Jiang Wanghai.
They hurriedly went to greet him, "Uncle Jiang, welcome back! You must be tired from your journey!"
"Haha, it's no trouble at all! Come on, take a few comrades and go release the fish fry!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan noticed that several railway workers were helping to pull bags of fish fry on a trolley not far away. The transparent bags were filled with water, and there were many palm-sized fish swimming around inside.
"Our car is parked over there. Could you please come with us?"
The railway staff also received instructions from their superiors. After helping to lift the fish fry onto the train, Fu Wan asked Fang Min to unload two boxes of canned food from the train.
"Comrades, thank you very much. This is canned food produced by our factory. It's just a small token of our appreciation. We hope you'll accept it!"
