Chapter 34

The two entered Lin Wei’s office.

Manager Yang put down the information: "This is the employee information of the garment factory. There are 246 people in total, all of them are here."

The assistant followed closely: "This is the information of customers and suppliers."

Lin Wei picked up the personnel above Schema table.

She bought the garment factory not long ago.

The factory covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters, including a two-story factory building, a staff dormitory, a three-story office building, and a two-story warehouse.

This time she did not pick up any leaks, and it cost 1.8 million, which is almost twice as expensive as a canning factory based on area alone. After all, the main production equipment of current garment factories is sewing machines, which are not of high value.

There is some inventory piled up in the warehouse, but the humidity in the port city is high, and the backlog of clothes in the warehouse will be a burden if not sold as soon as possible.

The factory still has some orders that have not been completed. Due to personnel changes, people are panicking. Some people have taken leave to find new suppliers. If the orders cannot be delivered on time, they will have to pay liquidated damages.

The most important thing is that the garment factory is now involved in a lawsuit, and what Lin Wei has taken over is a hot potato.

Lin Wei put down the information and asked: "How many people are working now?"

The assistant looked at Lin Wei's face and replied: "About... more than ninety. Others have asked for leave."

"The reason for asking for leave?" Lin Wei asked .

The assistant swallowed nervously. She didn't know why, but the other person was obviously younger than her, but there was a sense of oppression from a superior person around her. She was completely different from the kind and enthusiastic little girl just now.

"It's too hot. I said... I'm suffering from heat stroke."

"Tomorrow... no, workers will come to install the air conditioner this afternoon. Employees who have been working full time this month will receive a high temperature subsidy of 100 yuan per person, including the following August. In September, the salary will be paid for three consecutive months, and a notice will be prepared to inform all employees. "

The salary of a sewing woman is about 400 yuan per month, and 100 yuan for the high temperature is already a considerable reward."

Yang Zhenxiong didn't need to guess, he knew that all employees would be on duty tomorrow, because tomorrow was August 1st.

The method works, but it's too expensive. It's as rich as the legend says.

You must know that among all production costs, the largest part is the employment cost. If any leader wants to open source, he will first focus on the salary of employees.

"Why is there no planning department?" Lin Wei asked the next question.

This time the assistant was unable to answer.

Yang Zhenxiong thought about it and said, "We haven't had time to set it up yet."

In fact, the factory has no plans to set up a planning department at all. Usually, the factory directors and supervisors, plus a few pattern-making tailors, sit together and study. .

Lin Wei immediately said: "Since we have developed our own brands, but we have not set up a planning department and accumulated so much inventory, who is responsible for this?"

"No, we didn't expect to get into a lawsuit. They "No way -"

"What we are talking about now is the inventory issue. Without this matter, can you ensure that everything can be sold? Have you done any market research? What are the latest trends in the market? Do you have any first-line data? Who are the target customers? Have you formulated a marketing plan? Are the production plans and pricing scientific?"

Lin Wei asked several questions in a row, her tone was neither slow nor slow, but also aggressive, making Yang Zhenxiong sweat on his forehead.

He had never heard of these words, but he could probably understand what they meant, mainly because they were laymen.

At the beginning, the old factory director did not want to blindly provide processing for foreign brands, so he came up with the idea of ​​developing his own brand. However, he did not expect that this decision would lead to disaster.

As soon as they got started, they were taken to court by foreign companies.

British clothing brand Vancalin sued the court for brand infringement.

This company was originally a big customer of the factory, but somehow they were sued.

It would not be too miserable to have a lawsuit with the British on the land here in Hong Kong City.

After losing an important customer and facing a lawsuit, the old factory director fell ill all of a sudden.

The family couldn't clean up the mess. They saw Lin Wei having a fierce fight with Fu Sheng in the newspaper and went to find her.

"What we produce are classic styles such as A-line skirts and hip-hugging skirts, which are marketable. Logically speaking, we can sell them easily. The price is lower than that of foreign brands, and the quality is not inferior."

"Are classic styles being sued for infringement?" Lin Wei rhetorical question.

The saying that fashion comes in cycles is absolutely true. I didn’t expect that A-line skirts and pencil skirts would become popular in this era.

Hearing what Lin Wei said, Yang Zhenxiong said angrily: "That's because they are arrogant. We are very careful in selecting products. They are all popular models that have been available for a few years ago, but they insist on saying that we plagiarized their designs and faked their products. They also asked us to destroy the inventory."

Lin Wei was a little surprised when she heard it for the first time. It turns out that plagiarism can also be reported in this era.

Then can she sue the milk tea shop called "CoCo Jie Xue"?

The answer is, of course, no. If you sue, you won’t win, and the person who scores the point still has to decide.

"Since you think you are right, then continue to sell, and what are you doing with them all piled up in the warehouse?"

"But -"

"Didn't I just file a lawsuit and the results haven't come out yet? Or -" Lin Wei said slowly, "Are you guilty?"

Yang Zhenxiong opened his mouth and said, "No, but if we lose the lawsuit, we will not only have to pay money, but also have so much inventory to be destroyed."

"The court has the final say whether to destroy it or not. As the factory director, I That's right. Notify the designers and department heads that there will be a meeting on the third floor in fifteen minutes. "

Yang Zhenxiong now knows what the new factory director's style is. He is straightforward and straightforward. Any excuses come to her will be dealt with directly. return.

After the two left, Lin Wei made two calls, one to ask someone to install the air conditioner, and the other to Shi Jingchen.

"Can you recommend a lawyer to me?"

"Ah, it's not a big deal," Lin Wei said with a smile, "I'm going to go to court with Fu Sheng."

That's right, it's Fu Sheng.

Vancalin is a brand of Fusheng Holdings. When she saw Fusheng Holdings, she laughed directly.

As long as she occupies the moral high ground in public opinion and takes advantage of the name of the largest foreign company, she can naturally make the brand name famous. She can make money no matter she wins or loses, and everyone will know that she has a feud with Fu Sheng and she wants to bind her. this relationship.

The clothing brand Lin Wei acquired is called Yashan.

In Cantonese, clothes are called shirts. The name Yashan is very characteristic of the Greater Bay Area. Lin Wei does not plan to change it. She can redesign the logo and give it an English name.

The 1960s was the golden period for the rapid development of Hong Kong's garment manufacturing industry. There were about 1,500 garment factories in Hong Kong, accounting for about a quarter of the entire manufacturing industry. The export value was about HK$2 billion, making it the second largest garment exporter in the world. area.

There are mostly small and medium-sized garment factories in Hong Kong City with a staff of forty or fifty people. Lin Wei's is considered a large-scale garment factory with more than two hundred employees.

If the factory director hadn't been too ambitious and wanted to establish his own brand, the factory's efficiency would actually be pretty good and there would be no shortage of orders, but profits would be severely compressed.

But there are some things that are bad luck once you encounter the British.

By the time the meeting started, everyone had seen Lin Wei's "terror". Her terror was not that she was fierce, but that she would keep asking questions, leaving you speechless. When you fought back and asked her back, her The answer makes you feel ashamed again.

The head of the financial department was made to cry.

Lin Wei finally calmed down, thinking that this was the 1960s, was her request too high? The milk tea company recruits and trains its own employees. She has low expectations for employees who are like blank sheets of paper, but for a company that has already entered the market, she will be much more demanding.

Both the management and the accounts were so messed up that I couldn't control my anger for a while.

In fact, most of the time, she is a very nice boss.

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone subconsciously looked at Lin Wei's face.

Lin Wei opened the file, and there was no trace of emotion on her face: "The report I mentioned just now and the various departments have been sorted out and will be delivered to my office before three o'clock tomorrow."

Everyone's expressions changed several times. Lin Wei just said They learned a lot, and some of them they didn’t know anything about. What they knew was also in a mess, and they didn’t know how to sort it out.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room became depressing, and everyone seemed to have a knife hanging over their heads.

Yang Zhenxiong was originally wondering why Lin Wei didn't let the bodyguards into the conference room, but now he understood that her own aura could suppress everyone here.

"Next, let's talk about our production and sales tasks in August."

Lin Wei's voice was calm: "On August 18, clothing stores will resume operations."

This decision caused a small discussion, but no one was too surprised. After all, Factories must resume production, and clothing stores must open as usual if they are not closed.

"So before the 18th, the tasks that the design department has to complete include remaking old clothes, pattern making of new clothes, LOGO design, poster design and printing, door design..." "

The tasks of the production department are to complete the order contract within the deadline. Rework clothes, mass-produce new clothes, and complete the production of all ready-made clothes for sale..."

"The tasks of the sales department, retraining of clerks, layout of soft furnishings in the store, distribution of bags, shoes, hats, and accessories, pricing of new clothes..."

Lin Wei finished her sentence Department, the head of a department turned gloomy. The unknown is the scariest thing. They don’t know the requirements and standards of the new leader, they don’t know how to operate, how to change old clothes, and what technology is needed for new clothes?

"Are you running out of time?" Yang Zhenxiong asked.

"If everyone performs their duties and more than 200 people in the whole factory are active, will they still feel rushed?" Lin Wei looked at everyone and said, "This is our first time to cooperate, so I will accompany you personally. You control every link, and when it is implemented, you will find that anything can happen. Things may be simpler than you think, or you may encounter unexpected problems that cannot be solved, but the work lies in the unknown challenges, whether it will work or not. , you will know only when you get started. Don’t preset too many difficulties for yourself. When you encounter a problem, you can’t solve it alone. How can so many people work together? If you doubt your own ability, you doubt the person who put you in that position. "

She creates pressure but also knows how to reassure employees.

The time is indeed a bit tight, but it is not impossible to complete.

The main purpose is to match the current news popularity, to be the spokesperson of a milk tea shop worth millions. If you miss this gimmick, it will be forever.

The new clothes are the ones I made for Song Ye before. People keep asking where they bought the clothes. No matter how late it is, the heat is over, if someone follows suit, the gain outweighs the loss.

As the saying goes, it is better to rush early than to rush late. A lot of time can be saved in front-end plate making and communication between fabrics and plate patterns.

However, Yashan mainly sells women's clothing, and she also designs several new clothes. She has some ideas for the clothes in the warehouse, and they will be very eye-catching if she redesigns them.

"The purpose of the meeting is to know what to do next. Now the heads of each department and all members of the design department are meeting. After thirty minutes, it will be the purchasing department, then the production department, and then the sales department... Everyone needs to I know the direction of my efforts and it will not do me any good to embarrass you. The division of labor is clear and the responsibilities are clear. Wherever there is a problem, we will solve it."

Except for lunch time, Lin Wei held almost a whole day of meetings.

At the end of the day, only the supervisors were left.

The purchasing director said: "This is our first time doing distribution, and we are confused. I feel that if we need labeling, we should find a factory for bags, shoes, and hats to cooperate with."

"That's right," Lin Wei nodded in agreement, and then said, "Do you have any suitable shoe factories you can recommend? They should have technology and quality assurance."

Yang Zhenxiong said directly: "Sister Ajun's shoe factory is next door. I'll go ask about the schedule and see if we can add some stuff.

"Yes, Sister Ajun can do it, but there are too many orders there, and I don't know if I can make it in time." Lin

Wei nodded and asked, "Does the other party have the intention to sell the shoe factory?"

In the long run, the brand. Sooner or later, you will have to produce your own bags, shoes, and hats. OEMs are also available, but quality control is inconvenient.

"It's impossible. Although the shoe factory is not big in scale, it has no worries about orders and its efficiency is no worse than ours. It is impossible for her to sell it."

"Indeed, the shoe factory has never been worried about business."

"Then find more first Choose a shoe factory, and then help me make an appointment with my neighbor. The sooner the better, I will go and talk to her in person. "

At least solve the current problem first.

After assigning tasks to everyone, Lin Wei left when she saw that it was almost time for school to end.

In order to travel more conveniently, she bought a mobility scooter, a Volkswagen, also known as the Beetle in later generations. The current price is low, only more than 10,000 yuan, and she actually thinks it is very cheap.

She first drove to pick up Sun Muyin from school, and then picked up Song Ye. Yuan Yujun was very busy recently, and Lin Wei planned to take them out to eat, but Su Tianrui followed him no matter what.

Sun Muyin looked like she had no appetite, and kept poking at the pineapple bun in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

Lin Wei took a big mouthful of noodles and looked at her: "It's still uncomfortable. You are still young anyway. You can consider the matter of studying abroad in a long-term manner. Take your time and don't rush." ​​"

Studying abroad?" Su Tianrui said, "My dad is here. The University of Hong Kong donated money to the university I went to. It’s even more difficult for you to study abroad, so how much do you have to donate?”

The other three expressed their contempt for him with their eyes.

"What's wrong?" Su Tianrui asked them without any shame, holding a fish ball on his fork.

The business of this store is very good. People from their company often come here to eat. There is a lively atmosphere with people coming and going, which is more atmospheric than eating steak at home.

Seeing that she was still worried, Lin Wei could only advise: "It's not necessary to study abroad. If you don't want to go out so much, you don't have to-"

"No," Sun Muyin shook her head, "I just don't know what to do. He said that the school has not arranged any classes for dad, and he stays out alone until school is over every day... I don't want to make him unhappy at this time. "

What?"

Lin Wei was stunned, why didn't she know about this?

She looked at Song Ye and found that the other party did not show any surprise, indicating that he also knew.

Is it because she is too slow to react, or is there an IQ gap?

No wonder Song Ye would ask if Shi Jingchen was taking Uncle Sun's lessons at that time.

She really blamed her when she talked about it. At first, Uncle Sun was worried that his mother would embarrass them, and then he went back to school. She never expected that the school could do this to these idlers.

...

In the evening, Sun Boran gave them a paper, and they went to the sofa in the living room to read.

Since the study became a bedroom and study room, Sun Boran moved his reading area to the living room, with a small table next to it and a lot of books and newspapers piled up.

Lin Wei ordered newspapers. She spent at least an hour every morning reading the important pages of several major newspapers in Hong Kong City, including some weekly contents. Sun Boran and Song Ye also loved reading newspapers, which led to them placing newspapers everywhere, and Yuan Yujun scolded them every day.

"Uncle, I have something to ask you for help." Lin Wei came out after finishing the paper.

Sun Boran put down the newspaper and asked nervously: "What's wrong?" He felt that Lin Wei's attitude was a bit serious, maybe because he had encountered something that couldn't be solved.

"My current company is short of a financial director. Can anyone recommend a reliable person? You also know the importance of this position. It manages the funds of the entire company and has high requirements on character and ability. It requires everyone to If there is one who is comparable to you, can you recommend one to me? "

Ah?

Sun Boran said: "Are you anxious?"

"Urgent, very urgent," Lin Wei nodded, "We will not treat you badly in terms of treatment. The basic salary of 2,000 yuan, as well as performance and various subsidies, is expected to be paid next year. There will be dividends."

Sun Boran cleared his throat, clasped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll help you. I'm not worried about ordinary people. Such a big company really needs someone who can be trusted."

Lin Wei hurriedly said: "Of course, who can be more reliable than you? What about the school?"

"I'll apply for a leave of absence without pay," Sun Boran raised his hand to express that this was not a big deal, and then he Then he said, "Then let your mother-in-law resign. Look, no one has been cleaning up this house lately. It's as messy as a pig's nest."

Lin Wei: "..." What's the logic of this?

You hide outside every day, why don't you want to come back and do some housework?

What a man...

Sun Boran explained: "A company cannot let two couples do finance. One accountant and one cashier will get into trouble sooner or later."

"What could happen?" Yuan Yujun stood at the door of the toilet at some point, holding a hand in his hand. He was holding a hairdryer and his face turned blue.

She angrily said: "You tell me what could happen? Is there a first-come, first-served basis? I'm doing a good job, so why should I resign? You work, and I work too. I have to go home to wash, cook and take care of the children for you." , Sun Boran, you have no conscience at all."

Sun Boran looked a little embarrassed when he was called a name. "What are you talking about? I don't want you to be so tired. You don't have to go out to work. Yuan Yujun was furious when he heard this

: "It's for my own good. Why don't you know a helper? You sit on the sofa like an uncle every day. No one is as powerful as you. I have to wait for you after a long day. Why should I live like this?" ? I can support myself now."

"You, you are simply -" Sun Boran was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, and looked at Lin Wei, "Look at her, she shouldn't have -"

"Wait a minute. Lin Wei interrupted them to prevent the fight from spreading, "Uncle Sun, I'm not talking about the milk tea company, but my clothing factory is short of a financial director. It has nothing to do with my uncle's job."

The two people who were quarreling were stunned.

"Can you take care of it? This is simply not doing your job properly. Do you really think it's so easy to get into the University of Hong Kong?" Sun Boran reacted and couldn't help scolding him.

"If you don't pass the exam next year, you will have to take the exam again. If you miss the opportunity, it will be gone."

The opportunity is only these two years. You can study at any time. She has not celebrated her 17th birthday yet. She will go to college at 18 or 19 years old. No different.

Sun Boran's expression was a little depressed, and he wanted to say a few words, but since he was not his own child, he did not dare to take it seriously.

"Xiao Wei——"

As soon as he started speaking, Lin Wei seemed to think of something else: "Ah, by the way, I rented a small single-family building and I'm cleaning it up now. When everything is done, we'll move there. Then There's someone cooking nearby, so I don't have to be so busy."

"Yaoshou, what are you doing with this money? What kind of villa are you living in?" Even so, Yuan Yujun's face showed a smile. I couldn't hold myself any longer, so I turned around a few times, not knowing where to put the hair dryer in my hand.

Lin Wei: "..." She seems to be talking about a small building, why did it become a villa?

Yuan Yujun hurriedly asked: "Where is it? Do we need to clean it up early?"

"It's not far, just in Happy Valley, which is close to where we work."

"That's really not far. Happy Valley is a good place." Yuan Yujun patted his thigh and said, "Give me the address. I will take the time to go and see who you are looking for in case I don't give it to you." What should I do? I'll help you look after it..."

Sun Boran was speechless for a long time, and finally found a chance to speak. He looked at Yuan Yujun and said mockingly: "You are not busy now."

"You don't care. ?" Yuan Yujun was not angry.

"I don't know what to say! She's becoming more and more like a shrew," Sun Boran said angrily, "You are really not ashamed. You are taking advantage of someone's juniors. You have to live in a house when someone buys it. How can

you be so embarrassed?" Yuan Yujun sneered: "Don't feel bad about yourself. You're getting better, no matter how old you are, you're starting to look more and more like an annoying old man. If you don't want to go, then just stay here by yourself. We, the ladies, will move out and make room for you. It's enough for me to look at your old face now."

"No - Yuan Yujun, don't go too far. I'm trying to reason with you. How shameless are you, living in someone else's house?"

"Xiao Wei is one of my own. , What’s wrong with wanting to live in a big house for your mother-in-law? If you don’t want to, just stay, no one will force you, why are you pretending to be noble?”

When it comes to quarreling, neither Sun Boran nor Yuan Yujun can keep up.

"Look, look at her, is it okay to keep going like this?" Sun Boran asked Lin Wei for comment.

Lin Wei held her head in pain. Is this the daily life of an ordinary couple?

Sure enough, her parents are different.

It's really sad -

it turned out to be a bit beyond her expectations.

When she comes back every day, the neighbors will greet Lin Wei enthusiastically and praise her for her ability and not to forget everyone after making a lot of money.

Now everyone knows that Yuan Yujun is going to live in a big villa, and those who originally scolded them for helping poor relatives have also shut up. Their eyes are red with envy. When they see Lin Wei, they want to drag him to their home. Who would have thought of Jiao Didi's sister? Zai is so capable that even Uncle Amao's shop is opened, and he is so proud.

Everyone who met Lin Wei asked her how much she spent on the villa.

Buy a villa?

Didn't she say renting? When did it become buying?

Yuan Yujun's mouth is really capable, one mouth can make two mouths.

This can be regarded as a mistake. She did buy it. It was not cost-effective to rent a house, so she just bought it if she had money.

Moreover, it is still a place like Happy Valley, which only costs 200,000 yuan, and will be able to realize assets of at least hundreds of millions later.

She originally wanted to keep a low profile and use the loan to buy a villa. Hang Seng would not pursue it, but it didn't sound good to say that she borrowed the money to buy a house and a car.

Now, all the neighbors know about it.

But she didn't have time to worry about this.

Things in the garment factory left her too busy to be distracted.

With the help of everyone, Hengsheng is also organizing manpower to re-check the inventory of old items.

Some unowned or long-lived ones were found. It took several days and several counts, but nothing was found.

There are no items suspected to be left behind by Ms. Lin Heying.

"It shouldn't be. This is indeed the key to the Hengsheng safe. Was it lost in transit?"

Yang Bingrong frowned, not wanting to give up like this, but he couldn't find a way for the moment.

What's going on?

The subordinate wiped his sweat and came out of the warehouse: "You said that what we are looking for are all ownerless items, but is it possible that those items have owners?"

What?

Yang Bingrong looked at the other party.

Meeting Yang Bingrong's gaze, the subordinate scratched his head: "You also said that Ms. Lin Heying did not save the things herself. Ms. Lin is gone now, but if the person who saved the things is still there, then should we start again? Check it again, what about those items that have not been taken away for decades and the people are still alive?"

Yang Bingrong was stunned.

This - I haven't thought about it, but it does seem possible, although the probability is not high.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then look for it again."

If you can't find it, there's really nothing you can do.

The thing is probably really lost.

It's been too long, and it's hard to hold people accountable. However, this incident made Yang Bingrong, who pays attention to reputation, a little unhappy. In all his years at Hang Seng, how has he ever disappointed a customer? What's more, it was Miss Lin's request.

As a result, they found Mr. He Xinhe during their search.

He Xin looked at the key necklace on the table with a slightly dazed expression.

Yang Bingrong sighed: "If we had known this, we would have informed you in advance. After searching for so long, we found that the thing turned out to be yours."
