"I just got back and haven't seen my sister yet. I'll go back to the city to see her later."
Chen Jing sat with Ji's mother for a while, then made an excuse to leave and rode his bicycle back to the city.
Someone from the workshop will be coming to inspect tomorrow or the day after, so we need to keep a close eye on them.
Back in the city, he first went to inspect the workshop. After he left, Du Yulian, Chen Song, and others arranged for all the employees to start cleaning and tidying up. In just a few hours, all the materials were neatly arranged.
The warehouse and workshop were cleaned, and the windowsills, tables, light bulbs and other surfaces were wiped clean.
Although the ISO quality management system that Ji Xia had previously established was a bit troublesome, after she strictly managed it for a period of time, the female workers still followed this standard in their work as usual.
The female workers, in particular, who had been working here from the beginning, were quite familiar with the standards, which saved Chen Jing a lot of trouble.
He walked around the workshop a few times, pointed out a few areas that were easily overlooked and not handled well, and that was the gist of it.
However, Chen Jing requested that they develop the habit of tidying up and cleaning after get off work for the next week, so that customers would not find the place dirty when they came to inspect it.
After arranging for a group of employees to work, Chen Jing called Chen Song and Ah Hu aside: "Ah Hu, Ah Song, do you want to go to Huacheng to develop your career?"
"Brother Jing, are you planning to transfer us to Huacheng?"
Ah Hu and Chen Song were both surprised and delighted when they heard this.
Although they were doing well in the commune, Liu Xiaogang went to Huacheng, Hou Fang and Chen Qiuyu went to Beijing, while they stayed in their hometown, feeling a little lost.
Chen Jing smiled and nodded almost imperceptibly: "This time, the arrival of a major client is an opportunity. If we reach a cooperation agreement, we will probably find a piece of land near Huacheng to build a factory and expand our scale. At that time, anyone who is willing to come with me can come along."
"Of course, employees who are unwilling to travel far will have to find other jobs. They don't plan to stay in this small place anymore."
Upon hearing this, Chen Song and Ah Hu were both surprised and delighted: "Brother Jing, of course we're willing to go out with you."
"Yeah, it's not that far, it's just Huacheng, right? We were back in just a few hours. Xiaogang told us about it, and we're all so envious!"
Chen Jing chuckled a few times, then whispered, "I have some news for you, but don't spread it out yet."
"Hmm, what news? Jing-ge, tell me?"
"Hou Fang and Xiao Lian have bought a house with a yard in Beijing. Xiao Gang is also looking at houses now, planning to settle down in Huacheng."
"If you are willing to come out with me, I guarantee that within three years you will be able to settle down and have your own house."
"Really? Jing-ge, that's so great! We'll listen to you."
After making grand promises, Chen Jing instructed the two to improve their reports and told Chen Song to learn accounting skills over the next two or three months, and if necessary, to ask the brigade's accountant, Lin, to teach him accounting knowledge.
In addition, he wanted to check the accounts to see how much money the workshop had made in the two months he was away.
Since the wholesale shop opened in Huacheng, the workshop has no worries about sales as long as it starts production. However, due to insufficient manpower, the monthly production capacity is less than 8,000 units.
However, even if you only make seven or eight thousand a month, your monthly sales will still reach 110,000 to 120,000, because summer clothes are relatively inexpensive.
The cost of clothing in that era was not high. After deducting all expenses, the profit margin could reach 30% to 40%. After checking the total amount, the loan amount deposited in the bank was about 100,000 yuan, so there was basically no need to withdraw money from the capital to invest back in the hometown.
Who would have thought that with only a few dozen machines and so few people, they could earn so much in just two or three months?
If he wanted to expand this lucrative business in the capital, he would absolutely not accept investment from others; he only planned to run it himself.
The new factory cost 80,000, and with all the materials from Sansheng Workshop accounting for 10% of the shares, he would have at least 50% ownership, giving him a dominant position.
His two younger brothers were attracted by his grand plans and excitedly went to work. Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go see his second sister.
Chen Jing has four siblings, and Chen Yi is the second oldest.
The four siblings have distinct personalities. Chen Jing is lively and unrestrained from a young age, Chen Jun is meticulous and has a strong sense of justice, while Chen Zhang and Chen Yi, as the eldest and second eldest, grew up with their parents' expectations, yet they are mature beyond their years and have taken care of their younger brother like little adults since childhood.
As a girl, Chen Yi probably takes care of her younger brother more often, while Chen Jing and his second sister have always had a good relationship.
He just didn't understand why, ever since his second sister got married, she seemed to have disappeared, not returning home even once in a year.
She's going back to her parents' home now because her husband got into an accident and they can't afford to eat at home.
Chen Jing despised his brother-in-law. If they lived in a big city, he would have advised his sister to get a divorce. With a brother like him, why would she worry about not being able to support two children?
However, in the countryside, very few women would bring up divorce, even if the man is unreliable.
Chen Da Sao Xu Yu Fen's fast food restaurant is located outside the middle school. Ji Xia accompanied her to find the shop, and even made the food recommendations for her.
Across from the middle school entrance, the most eye-catching thing is Sister Chen's fast food restaurant. The words "Little Sun Fast Food Restaurant" are written in a bold and elegant style, making it very conspicuous.
The fast food restaurant is small, with an entrance only about three meters wide, and a large food cart takes up half of the space.
However, the courier shop had seven or eight tables neatly arranged inside, and the small shop was kept very clean, with the porcelain white tiles also mopped very clean.
The students hadn't finished class yet. At that moment, two women in the shop were carrying plates of cooked dishes to the glass cabinet outside the door, placing them inside, and closing the lids. A thin, frail little boy was sitting in his stroller, listlessly sucking his fingers.
These must be the children Chen Yi brought; I heard one of them is less than a year old.
Just then, Chen Yi came out carrying a baby on her back and holding a large plate of stir-fried bean sprouts in her hands.
Chen Yi is only twenty-two years old now. She was quite plump when she got married, but after two or three years, she has become as thin as a skeleton, pale and emaciated, with no color in her skin.
Chen Jing frowned and raised her voice, calling out, "Second Sister—"
Chen Yi looked up and saw a well-dressed young man standing a few meters away from the door.
The young man was wearing a stylish thin sweater, dark blue jeans, and beige casual leather shoes. He looked very fashionable, like a trendy young man from a big city.
After a long while, she realized what was happening and looked shocked: "A-Jing? You're A-Jing?"
In her memory, her third brother was still a messy, hoodlum with a cigarette in his mouth. So when she saw Chen Jing dressed like a successful man, she could hardly believe it.
Although everyone says Chen Jing married the Ji family's daughter and made a lot of money.
Chen Jing walked over with a smile, standing outside the door and looking inside: "Second sister, when did you come back to your hometown? I've written you letters and sent you telegrams several times before, but you never came back."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi looked slightly ashamed: "When you got married last year, I was heavily pregnant, and it was inconvenient to go back to my parents' home because it was too far away. I did want to come back to see you off this July or August, but the baby just got sick, so I couldn't go back."
