Half a month later, the background check and assessment of the garment factory's situation were almost complete, and the two sides were in negotiations.
The placement of the factory leaders and staff had not yet been resolved when Jin Zichu received news that the sugar factory they had previously contacted was to be sold.
The land and factory buildings were sold and all employees were laid off.
"Is it really sold? Can the workers accept it?" Xu Manman learned about it from the office logistics today. Even the school, which is not well-informed, has spread the news. Wouldn't it be an uproar outside?
"Although the contract hasn't been signed yet, it's almost settled. But now...it all depends on Director Lin's methods."
In fact, the proposal given by the remaining company was similar to that of Jin Zichu. Both companies only wanted the land and the factory. After all, the sugar factory itself did not have much economic value.
The price offered by Jin Zichu was quite reasonable. The land and factory buildings were given at market prices.
The issue of employee placement is also taken into consideration. In addition to severance pay, the plan also stipulates that if they resume business in the future, they will give priority to hiring employees in the factory.
However, although this plan seems good in comparison, it is still different from what the factory expected.
After all, who would want to be a laid-off worker when they can continue to be a factory leader?
So they pulled another company in, thinking that the two sides would compete with each other and compare their offers. They would be able to gain the greatest benefits by being in the middle, right?
But unexpectedly, Jin Zichu did not play by the rules and withdrew early. Now the factory is left there, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Ministry of Commerce have also issued notices, requiring the disposal of substandard assets as soon as possible.
I wanted to get the gold back, but they didn't care at all, so I had no choice but to agree to their plan.
Xu Manman was curious, "Where did this news come from?"
The leaders in the factory?
That's impossible. Thousands of workers being laid off, how serious the consequences are, anyone can figure it out. Before the matter is confirmed, the factory leaders will definitely not want to make a big deal out of it.
Otherwise, it would not be a question of whether the sugar could be sold or not. The sugar factory would be in chaos, and it would be hard to say whether their personal safety could be guaranteed.
Buyer company?
It doesn't seem like it. The price they offered wasn't high. This is actually a great bargain. Isn't it too late to keep it secret before the contract is signed?
"It was spread from within the factory. The deputy director's son let it slip when he was drunk."
Xu Manman shook his head and sighed, "Tsk tsk, as expected, drinking makes things worse. Will his father break his legs this time?"
I don’t know whether his legs were broken or not, but just as Xu Manman guessed, the sugar factory was in chaos.
The workers, who had not received their wages for several months due to the suspension of work, all blocked the factory office gate, and a group of them spontaneously went to the door of the factory leader's home to block people.
As a result, Director Lin and his family stayed at home and didn't even dare to go out.
"Director! You must give us an explanation today!"
"That's right, the factory belongs to all of us. Why should we just sell it off? Selling the land and the factory and then laying us off is like denying us a way to survive, isn't it?"
"We don't agree! No one has the right to sell our factory!"
…
These people really didn't expect that the people above them would be so cruel. They worked in the factory for decades, got married, had children, and watched their children grow up to take over, but they didn't expect that they would become laid-off workers?
They could still bear the fact that they didn't get paid in the past few months. After all, the same situation happened last year, and they made up for it after the New Year. As long as they still have jobs, there is still hope.
But now they are selling the factory outright! Let all of them be laid off, without jobs and income. How are they going to survive?
Some smart ones even ran directly to the municipal government. The factory leaders didn’t care about their lives, but the government couldn’t just ignore it, right?
The government is actually also very troubled. They are not unaware of this matter. The investment itself was made under their coordination.
I originally planned to sell the factory and get the money, and then use the money to deal with debts and lay off employees.
Anyway, the matter was already a foregone conclusion by then, and the employees could only accept reality. It would be better for them to take the severance pay and find another way out. Even if they made a fuss at that time, it wouldn't cause too much trouble.
He certainly didn't expect that after taking all ninety-nine steps, the final step would cause things to get out of hand.
Now, it’s really difficult to sell it, and it’s also difficult not to sell it.
But having so many people waiting at the entrance of the city government wasn't a solution after all, so the leader had to personally come out to appease them, "Don't worry, everyone, we will investigate this matter in detail and give you an explanation."
