Xu Lei actually understood the truth, but when he thought about the countless workers who would be laid off and countless families who would find it difficult to make a living, he couldn't help but feel heavy and sad.
But as my niece's husband said, he could save one person, but he couldn't save thousands, so sacrifice was inevitable.
However, since they have found Xu Lei through their connections, it is difficult to refuse this matter outright.
Jin Zichu had no intention of taking over the sugar factory. He was discussing another matter with the government.
"Re-employment training center?"
"Workers are afraid of being laid off, and the most fundamental problem is that they worry about having no income and being unable to make a living.
Our company can sponsor a re-employment training center to provide free skills training such as snack making and handicrafts for laid-off workers, so that they can learn a skill. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."
The idea is a good one. Even though the leader's family has never run a business, he knows that those inconspicuous small vendors outside earn much more than his salary every month.
If all workers can learn a skill and set up a stall to take on some work, it will solve the living problems of laid-off workers.
Moreover, with more small vendors, consumption will increase and the market will be more revitalized.
The leader looked at Jin Zichu and said, "We're investing in the garment factory, but is there really no other way for the sugar factory?"
"Sugar factories and garment factories are incomparable. As long as garment factories update their product designs and keep up with market trends, it's only a matter of time before they turn losses into profits."
As for sugar factories, their prices are impacted by the international market, and their products cannot be sold. As food, they also have to consider the shelf life issue, and the raw materials are also seasonal and dependent.
Unless other project industries are discovered, the possibility of turning losses into profits is extremely small.
My wife doesn't like trouble, and it doesn't like to make her feel troubled.
Before the Chinese New Year, the sugar factory was finally sold. Because it attracted much attention, the price was reasonable and it was not sold at a low price.
After the government's coordination and appeasement, the employees had no choice but to accept the reality.
The Zaiye Employment Training Center sponsored by Jin Zichu also welcomed many students.
There were actually quite a few twists and turns in the process. I wonder which person with great power knew what was going on with Jin Zichu.
They brought a group of people to the Xu family compound to block people, making it difficult for Chen Meiyu to go out for those days.
"You have money, so what's the harm in helping them? If these people are laid off and have no jobs, how will they live? Are you really going to sit back and watch?"
Although Chen Meiyu is retired, she has worked in the factory for decades, got married, had two children, and raised her children to adulthood. It can be said that most of her life is related to the factory.
Now seeing this group of people who are about to lose their jobs, although they are not from the same factory, she can still empathize with them.
She really couldn't understand why her daughter and son-in-law had earned so much money over the years, and the donations they gave out every day could support many families, but when problems really came, they refused to even lend a hand.
Xu Manman took a deep breath, not wanting to argue with her mother, "Investment and acquisition are all business activities, not charity, and we are also preparing a re-employment training center.
In addition to skills training, we also provide business loans. As long as they study hard and work hard, their future life will not be a problem."
"How can it be the same?"
Seeing that Chen Meiyu was getting angry again, Xu Manman was afraid that if she continued talking about it, the mother and daughter would quarrel again, so she turned to look at her father and asked him to calm her mother down.
"This matter is led by the government, and it's not something they can decide. What's the point of you talking about it?
And didn’t Manman say that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish? Just come to the stall where you usually buy braised food. Although it is a small business, you can still earn this amount in a month, which is equivalent to half a year’s salary at work.
"Manman and the others have done their best. This result wasn't their fault in the first place. Why are you so angry?"
After Xu Gang finished speaking, Chen Meiyu finally listened.
She pursed her lips but didn't say any words of apology, but she made an extra portion of braised pork, which Xu Manman liked, in the evening.
Xu Manman shrugged her shoulders. She was already used to this result. Anyway, she would not argue with her mother, and this way she would not be angry.
The investment in the garment factory went relatively smoothly. The accounts were rechecked, several factory leaders and some relatives were replaced, and the workers were basically retained, so the transition was relatively smooth.
In this way, the state-owned enterprise label was removed and it has now become a mixed-ownership enterprise with equity divided into three parts: the garment factory collective, state-owned assets and the Jinyi Group under the name of Jin Zichu.
