Chapter 360: Sassy Female Factory Manager 4: A broad road lies ahead, and behind her lies...
The details of the factory acquisition have been negotiated.
According to current policies, poorly managed state-owned factories will generally follow the policy of "closing, stopping and transferring".
However, there is no factory in Yicheng that can take over the "merger and transfer", so it can only be closed. But in this case, how to solve the employment problem of those employees?
Even though many people have gone to the south, they are actually just curious. Moreover, they may not be able to stay in the south for a long time. Most people cannot bear the hardship of being exposed to the sun at the construction site and will come back to wait for the factory to revive.
The needs of these people need to be addressed, right? The government currently lacks the capacity to do so. Yao Zhizhi and her team's willingness to take over is truly a godsend.
In addition, the factory's equipment is old, the factory building is in disrepair, and the assets are insufficient to cover the debts. Therefore, the government's intention is to give a symbolic amount of money. As long as Yao Zhizhi and others are willing to guarantee employment, nothing else matters.
However, the acquirer cannot acquire the company in his or her personal name, as this is not in compliance with the policy.
So Yao Zhizhi and Yao Taotao mobilized a few relatives and friends, collected some money, and established a New Era Workers and Peasants Mutual Aid Society in Yicheng.
Finally, the factory was acquired in the name of this mutual aid society.
It only cost 30,000 yuan in total, so the bulk of the money was spent on equipment received from the province.
As for the investment ratio, Yao Zhizhi and Yao Taotao each hold 45%, and the remaining 10% is contributed by Yao Miaomiao and Ye Sheng, each with 5%.
The contract was signed quickly. Yao Zhizhi was listed as the factory director in name only, Yao Taotao was the deputy director, Yao Miaomiao was too busy to take charge, and Ye Sheng was appointed as the workshop director, responsible for the main production work.
However, the factory building still needs to be repaired, old equipment needs to be disposed of, new equipment needs to be introduced, and the original employees need to be resettled. Therefore, it will not be possible to officially start production for the time being.
Fortunately, the government gave us the green light all the way, and many approvals were submitted and approved on the same day, which was surprisingly efficient.
Yao Zhizhi took some time to go to the province and, with the help of Director Gao, acquired the production line there.
"This machine is much more expensive than the one in Yicheng." Yao Zhizhi has been running around for more than half a month and finally finished debugging the new equipment today. She returned home, picked up the bowl of water, and drank it like a cow.
Crystal clear water droplets slid down her collar, and Qi Changxiao beside her quickly turned on the electric fan and blew it directly at her.
He has been at home taking care of the children these days and has not been able to do anything. After all, the factory is currently staffed by female comrades, and Yao Zhizhi thinks he would be a hindrance if he went there.
It’s true that these female comrades are very efficient. All they have to do next is to re-employ the original employees and then they can start production.
It was much faster than he expected.
He took the empty bowl of water and handed over another full one, advising her with a distressed look on her face: "Drink slowly, don't choke."
"It's okay, I won't choke." Yao Zhizhi was in a hurry. After drinking water, she sat down to eat. She finished it in just a few bites, wiped her mouth, stood up and was about to go out again.
The two children were used to it, but Little Moon couldn't bear it, so she quickly put down her chopsticks and chased after him: "Mom, it's so hot, please hold an umbrella."
Yao Zhizhi smiled and turned back, squatting down to hold her daughter's shoulders: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Mom will get the umbrella right away."
Little Moon reached out to wipe the sweat off her mother's cheeks, feeling distressed: "Mom, you've lost weight. Can you eat more when you come back tonight?"
"Okay, Mommy, be obedient and eat two bowls at night, okay?" Yao Zhizhi agreed obediently, not wanting to make the child worry and anxious.
Little Moon finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know how to play the farewell song. I'll play it for Mom when I get home tonight."
"Okay, let's go back quickly, baby. Let's go outside to get some sun." Yao Zhizhi got up, took her daughter back to the house, took the parasol from Qi Changxiao, turned around and smiled at Xiao Xingxing, then left like a gust of wind.
Little Star sighed: "Dad, you have to persuade my mother. Our family is not short of money. Don't let her get a heatstroke like Second Aunt. It's not worth it."
What could Qi Changxiao say? What else could he do besides supporting his wife's passion and taking good care of her?
However, his children's worries were justified, so he smiled and comforted them, "It's okay, Dad stuffed Huoxiang Zhengqi water in Mom's bag, Mom will be careful."
"Okay then." The brother and sister sat back at the table and continued eating.
While they were eating, Cao Guangyuan brought Ma Xiangqin over. Ma Xiangqin was holding the child who was just beginning to show signs of improvement in her arms.
Cao Guangyuan walked cautiously, holding an umbrella. When he reached the gate, he called out, "Xiao Qi, is Xiao Yao home?"
Qi Changxiao came out and took a look: "He's not here. What's wrong?"
Cao Guangyuan took two steps inside. "She didn't use up all the money she borrowed from me. I was planning to pay her back first, but as you know, the factory hasn't been able to pay her wages these past few months. I'm afraid something might happen to the child again, and she'll have to borrow money from you again. How about paying her back later? Is that okay with you?"
"Okay, don't worry, the child is important." Qi Changxiao also disliked Cao Guangyuan. This kind of stupid person picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons, and was still complacent about it. There was nothing to say.
Zhizhi was willing to help because she felt sorry for the child.
Cao Guangyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much. My child is feeling better now. I heard the factory is going to resume production, and I'm going back to work. As long as the factory can pay me a stable salary, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."
"It's okay. It's too hot. Let's go back quickly so as not to sunburn the child." Qi Changxiao hadn't finished his meal yet. He waved his hand and went back to the house.
Cao Guangyuan quickly took Ma Xiangqin and the child back home. They went to the hospital for a follow-up check today, and the results were quite good. It turned out that using good medicine made a difference.
You still need money.
He opened the door and let Ma Xiangqin and the child go in to rest while he cooked.
While I was busy, Cao Guangyi came out from the room next door. He was disheveled and looked like he had just gotten up.
Cao Guangyuan was really envious. This kid just ate and slept all day long without any burden. It was great.
I couldn't help but say sourly: "You got up too early. It's better to wait until the sun goes down and it's cooler."
Cao Guangyi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He went to the sink to brush his teeth and wash his face, then filled a pot of water and put it on the gas stove, then turned and went into the house.
When the water boiled, Cao Guangyuan had not finished cooking yet. Cao Guangyi came over with a kettle, flushed the water and left, as if he didn't see Cao Guangyuan.
Cao Guangyuan was speechless. If Cao Guangyi had not gone to the hospital to give him money, he would have thought that Cao Guangyi was unhappy because he saw that the child was getting better.
But he was still unhappy, so he simply shouted: "Hey, the factory will resume production soon, are you going to work?"
Cao Guangyi did not publicize the fact that he had been admitted to university. He rolled his eyes lightly, closed the door without saying a word, made some malted milk, and ate some egg cake, and that was how he had his lunch.
I was planning to sleep a little longer, but someone knocked on the door. I had to go out to open the door yawning. Unexpectedly, it was Yao Taotao who came in, with a bulging canvas bag on her shoulder and a document of some unknown nature in her hand.
He woke up instantly, and immediately corrected his hunched posture. He straightened his back, looked at Yao Taotao with bright eyes and full of expectation.
Yao Taotao smiled and slapped the document against his chest. "I thought buying the factory would cost a fortune, but it turned out to be just that little. Including the equipment, it didn't break the bank. So I bought you a house in advance, right outside the school."
"I can't accept it." Cao Guangyi refused to accept it. It was nothing. He helped her, but it was voluntary. Even if she was with someone else, he would not regret tricking Chao's mother and daughter to the police station.
Yao Taotao insisted: "Just keep it if I tell you to. Don't make me angry."
Cao Guangyi looked away: "You are bullying me."
He was hurt by being paid to shut up.
Yao Taotao laughed and said, "Who bullies others by giving them a house? I will definitely give it to them and let them bully me."
Cao Guangyi sighed and changed the subject: "I heard the factory is almost ready?"
"Well, you resigned and didn't get any resettlement compensation. Let me tell you something." Yao Taotao looked at the time. It was getting late. There were still a few other people who had not resigned but didn't want to go back to work, and they needed to get their overdue wages settled.
Didn’t you see that she was carrying a canvas bag filled with money, account books, receipts and other important items?
Cao Guangyi knew at a glance that she was still busy, so he thought, "Forget it, just accept it and don't waste her time. Besides, school is about to start for him, and if he leaves all his things here, it is indeed too far away and inconvenient to go back and forth."
But he still went back to the house and wrote an IOU to Yao Taotao: "I'll take the house. I'll pay you back later. Take it."
Yao Taotao accepted it with a smile. As soon as she got downstairs, she tore up the IOU, walked to the door of the dormitory yard, and threw the torn pieces of paper into the trash can.
Chao Risheng was waiting under the banyan tree across the street. He sat astride his bicycle, supporting himself with his right foot, and waited patiently.
In fact, he really wanted to go over and take a look, but he knew Yao Taotao too well, and that would make her feel that he didn't trust her, so he could only wait here.
Seeing her come down so quickly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no way around it. They were a single man and a single woman, and they had been a couple before, so he couldn't help but be nervous. After all, Cao Guangyi had been admitted to university, and his competitiveness had increased significantly.
Although he still couldn't beat him, old friendship was also an important bargaining chip, and he didn't dare to gamble.
After Yao Taotao jumped into the back seat, he hurried to the homes of other employees without asking about Cao Guangyi, as that would have made him look very insecure.
At the same time, Yao Zhizhi and Ye Sheng were also giving money to some employees. These were all overdue wages for those who were unwilling to go back.
Once the problem is resolved, we can officially recruit workers and resume production.
Ye Sheng has his own opinion on the recruitment issue. Since some young and middle-aged people are now moving to the job market in the south, there is no rigid regulation on how many jobs should be reserved for urban employees in Yicheng.
"So, I want to recruit some workers from the countryside." Ye Sheng is a farmer's child and is still a farmer. Even though she has been a worker for so many years, her household registration book still has the word "farming" written in capital letters.
Therefore, she has a natural compassion and empathy for farmers. She hopes that women who have acquired a skill can leave the stove, leave their children's feces and urine, leave the trivial family disputes, and come to the city to try their luck.
Especially those apprentices who had gone to the provincial capital with her, she wanted to mobilize each and every one of them.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and encouraged, "No problem, you take care of the countryside, and I'll take care of the city."
Ye Sheng smiled: "Editor Yao, the first time I saw you, I knew that this day would come sooner or later. You did it, I did it too, and I think other female comrades will do it too!"
"I will!" Yao Zhizhi patted her shoulder and continued running.
A week later, all the staff were present. Although the apprentices were all married, Ye Sheng still mobilized more than half of them to come. It was really great.
Yao Zhizhi specially found Xiao Qu, chose an auspicious day, and officially announced the resumption of production.
It was a sunny day. At the radio station in Yicheng, the new announcer was reporting the good news in his youthful voice.
Yao Zhizhi and Yao Taotao called Ye Sheng and each lit two strings of firecrackers, hoping for good luck.
Amid the crackling sounds of celebration, Li Jing personally led the novice reporters to leave precious video footage of the non-staple food factory that had reopened.
It can be clearly seen in the picture that the Yicheng Subsidiary Food Factory has been renamed "Yicheng Chaoyang Food Factory".
It can also be seen that female workers account for 70% of the workforce, and the remaining male workers are mostly old employees of the original non-staple food factory, including Cao Guangyuan and Zhang Tieshan.
Why did those who went south to make a living return? Of course, they found the menial work too hard, and they didn't know how to be a bricklayer. Even if they knew how, they wouldn't be able to handle it, because that was harder.
Yao Zhizhi returned to the factory and gave a brief mobilization speech before starting work, and then passed the baton to Yao Taotao.
After that came the safety production class that Ye Sheng was in charge of.
That’s right, on the first day of resuming production, there was no actual production. Instead, we took classes first to familiarize ourselves with the machines.
Fortunately, the apprentices Ye Sheng invited back were all veterans, and it was no problem for one person to teach two or three novices.
Yao Zhizhi looked at the bustling production workshop and felt very relieved. It was getting late and she should go back. School would start in half a month, and she wanted to take some time to visit her elder brother and others in the Northeast.
With the scorching sun above her head and new hope watered by sweat behind her, Yao Zhizhi walked on the road, feeling refreshed and walking briskly.
Just as Li Jing was about to finish work, she quickly reminded her apprentice, "Hurry, capture this shot." In front of her was a broad road, behind her was a thriving new factory, and in the center of the picture was the new factory director, wearing a red dress and with a face full of joy. The picture was amazing.
After capturing this moment, Li Jing approached with a smile: "Why don't you stay in the factory and take a look?"
Yao Zhizhi put her arm around her shoulders and said, "My second sister and Ye Sheng are here. Let's go. We two sisters haven't been together for a long time. I'll go see your Huanqing."
Soon, school started.
Shen Qingwan introduced a relative to be the nanny, and Yao Zhizhi once again plunged into her busy study career. Every day when she returned home, she would receive a call from Yao Taotao.
They were all news from the factory. Either this worker was overjoyed to see the new product, or that worker volunteered to work overtime in order to become a production model.
Yao Zhizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "How are the sales?"
"Great!" Yao Taotao was very excited. "I'm too lazy to make breakfast now, so I'll just eat the lotus pastry made in our own factory. The recipe you gave me is great, and I'll never forget it after one bite."
"Haha." Yao Zhizhi was delighted and reminded, "Although the factory is important, don't forget to study."
"Don't worry, I know." Yao Taotao said excitedly, remembering something. "Oh, Editor-in-Chief Gao gave birth to a boy, but there was something wrong with the child."
"how?"
"When I took my child to get his vaccinations, I saw that he seemed to be born with a disability."
"Tian Can?"
"Well, the chick is only as big as your pinky fingernail, and you can't see where the eggs are."
"That's probably cryptorchidism."
"Cryptorchidism? What is that?"
"The egg is hidden in the groin or abdominal cavity. Surgery is required."
"Oh my god, such a young child, is he under general anesthesia?"
"Of course, otherwise what if the child moves around?"
"How do you know?"
"Is that even a question? It's just like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Moon. There are always a hundred whys and if I can't answer them, I'll go to the library and look up books."
"Haha, it was Little Star who asked that? Are his classmates like that too?"
"Well, he asked his dad about it. He said one of his male classmates had to squat to pee."
“…The world is so big, and there are so many strange things.”
"Anyway, if you get married and have children in the future, if you have a boy, you must check the eggs immediately. Girls won't show any abnormalities from the outside, and I don't have a better way to do this."
"Girls also have abnormalities?"
"Yes, don't you know the Stone Woman?"
"I seem to have heard adults mention it when I was a child, but I didn't understand what it meant."
"From Yaowang Manor?"
"No, it's a child from Yao Jingye's father-in-law's family."
"What a sin! Okay, I have to read with the kids. Let's talk tomorrow."
"Wait, there's one more thing."
"how?"
