Chen Jing has experience in building and expanding garment factories.
After all, last year I followed Ji Xiangjun and took 200,000 yuan to Jiangnan to set up a clothing factory with two or three hundred employees.
Of course, last time, from building the factory to buying machines and hiring people, it didn't cost 200,000 at all. But for a garment factory to operate, it needs to purchase materials and fabrics, so the factory naturally needs working capital.
As for the location, Chen Jing chuckled and said, "Brother Song, Xiao Gang told me that transportation to the garment factory in his hometown is too inconvenient, and he hopes to find land near Huacheng. Do you have any good recommendations?"
"Recommendation? Setting up a factory nearby?"
Chen Jing smiled slightly: "This is negotiable. After all, I spend most of my time in the north, and Song Ge is in charge of management, so your opinion is very important, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Song Wu was secretly delighted: "We'll discuss the location later. How do you plan to cooperate?"
Chen Jing patted his project plan: "The new factory will have an investment of 200,000 yuan to build a dormitory and production workshop that can accommodate 500 people, and a canteen."
He explained his ideas in detail, outlining his requirements for everything from factory buildings and dormitories to production workshops and production management, since he was more experienced than Song Wu.
However, he proposed that the small workshop's machines and personnel be moved to the new factory, accounting for 10% of the total, while he himself would take at least 40% of the 200,000 yuan, and he would be directly in charge of the finance and design departments.
Song Wu was somewhat surprised to hear that Chen Jing would invest at least 80,000 yuan to acquire more than 40% of the shares.
He spearheaded the black market for seven or eight years and made a lot of money over the years, but he still had difficulty coming up with 70,000 or 80,000 yuan at once.
Chen Jing runs this small workshop in the countryside, with only twenty or thirty people, and in just over a year, he can casually throw out 80,000 yuan.
It has to be said that even Song Wu was a little jealous. This person really has a knack for making money. Is it possible to make this much money in the clothing business?
However, since Chen Jing was in charge of finances, he looked somewhat displeased: "You're in charge of finances all by yourself? Did you manage it in the north?"
Chen Jing thought for a moment and conceded, "Brother Wu, I've paid the money, and everything else is in your hands. It's only right that you take charge of the finances; I need to know where all this money is going."
As for the design department, even without his request, Song Wu couldn't be in charge of it; this department should belong to Ji Xia.
After some haggling, the two finally reached an agreement.
After finalizing the cooperation agreement, Chen Jingcai brought up the afternoon visitor.
He smiled frankly and said, "Brother Song, the Hailin family has some visitors this afternoon who need your help with something."
"What? What do you want me to act out with you?"
Song Wu initially thought Chen Jing was trying to put on a show, but he was surprised to hear that he was asked to take charge.
After understanding the whole story, Song Wu patted him on the shoulder: "Outrageous! Northerners really have no sense of morality. Knowing that someone else has a man, they still want to steal him away. People like this should be taught a lesson."
"Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll bring He Feng and Xiao Gang to handle this, and I guarantee they'll regret it."
Chen Jing smiled slightly: "Brother Song, although we can't trust the Lin family's character, money is always useful. If they agree to invest 100,000 and take no more than 20% of the shares, wouldn't we be able to save some money?"
Song Wu met his gaze with a meaningful smile. This kid is quite cunning; no wonder he can make so much money.
"Hehe, don't worry, your brother Song has been around for many years, I know how to behave."
The two exchanged a knowing glance and burst into laughter.
After discussing their collaboration, the two relaxed and leisurely ate breakfast. Chen Jing then bid farewell to Song Wu, intending to return to the commune first to investigate the workshop's problems.
Song Wu, along with two of his brothers, helped carry Chen Jing's luggage and personally saw him off to the car. He also brought out a case of fine wine from the house for Chen Jing to take back to his hometown.
Chen Jing put his luggage on the bus, found a seat by the window, and waved to his friends outside.
Half a day later, Chen Jing returned to the county town, and then took a different bus back to the commune.
In the afternoon, Chen Jing took his luggage to a state-run restaurant for lunch and then went directly to the small workshop.
The small workshop is now managed by Chen Song and A Hu, and the workshop foreman is the newly promoted Du Yulian.
Du Yulian was also a long-time employee in the workshop, having worked there since the factory was built. She was not talkative, but she was efficient and responsible. Before leaving, Ji Xia and Chen Qiucun reviewed the group of employees and selected Du Yulian to be the team leader.
When Chen Jing arrived at the small workshop, he casually put his luggage inside the door and heard an angry voice coming from inside: "Next time, next time, you always say you'll be more careful next time, how many times are you going to wait before you change? You've ruined this whole batch of fabric, how are you going to calculate the cost? Are you going to compensate us?"
Chen Jing raised an eyebrow in surprise. The gatekeeper, upon seeing Chen Jing, suddenly cheered excitedly, "Boss, you're back?"
The veteran was a man with mobility issues. He was introduced to the workshop by Ji Xiangjun. After being discharged from the army due to injury, he returned to his hometown to farm and faced financial difficulties. Ji Xiangjun specially brought him to the workshop and arranged for him and his wife to work in the canteen.
The couple, Chen Jing and Ji Xiangjun, were very excited. Upon seeing Chen Jing, they couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Hearing the noise in the warehouse, Chen Song and Ah Hu rushed out, overjoyed: "Brother Jing, why are you back?"
Chen Jing laughed and hugged Ah Hu and Chen Song tightly before pointing to the workshop: "What's going on? I heard a commotion in the workshop as soon as I got back?"
Chen Song and Ah Hu looked ashamed and glanced back at the workshop. Du Yulian also ran out upon hearing the noise.
"Jing-ge, you're back. Where's Xia-jie? And Qiu-yu and Xiao-lian haven't come back yet?"
"Xia has to go to school, how can she have time to come back?"
Chen Jing smiled and shook his head: "At least Qiu Yuhou Fang and Xiao Lian are doing well in the capital. I came back for something."
"What happened? I heard you criticizing the employees inside just now, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Du Yulian's face turned angry: "That's a new employee, clumsy and incompetent. She can't do anything right. She's been here for a month, and I don't know how much fabric she's wasted. If this continues, the workshop will not only fail to make money, but will also lose money."
Chen Jing frowned: "If she's not suitable and can't do this job, then we don't need her to do it."
Upon hearing this, Du Yulian subconsciously glanced at Chen Song, who forced himself to speak in a low voice: "Third Brother, Auntie asked me to bring that Ahua. Her family is very poor, so she asked me to arrange a job for her."
"So I let her come and wreak havoc on my workshop? Who's going to pay for the lost materials?"
Chen Jing's face darkened, and he was about to criticize Chen Song when a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old rushed out of the workshop, her eyes red, and pleaded in a low voice: "I'm sorry, team leader, I'm sorry, Third Brother, I will be careful next time, please, don't fire me."
