Lu Fan was new to the place and only knew the basics about the soy sauce factory.
The person who knows best about the current state of the factory is Liu Nian, but when Lu Fan asked, Liu Nian also became puzzled:
“President Lu, you are a big boss and different from us. I don’t understand why you insist on acquiring the soy sauce factory.”
"This factory has long since gone out of business. When Master Yi told me this before, I couldn't believe that it could ever reopen."
They joked that if it weren't for Lu Fan's intervention to acquire the equipment, the workers would probably have to sell the newly installed equipment in the factory as scrap by the end of the month.
“There’s nothing in the factory right now, except for this little bit of equipment, which is still valuable. You’re treating me to dinner today because you think highly of me. I’m just a nobody, I don’t have any connections or background, otherwise I wouldn’t be staying in the factory, I would have run away long ago.” Lu Fan nodded in understanding and said:
"I was aware of these circumstances before. I met with you today to find out if you're the one making all the decisions in this factory now?"
"And those devices, you're worried about them, and so am I! Are they still usable?"
Liu Nian wasn't very educated, but fortunately, Lu Fan's words were straightforward and within Liu Nian's comprehension and understanding.
"If you're talking about listening to me, then my words only work among a group of young people. The older masters each have their own tempers, and it's not feasible for me to give them orders."
"However, there are a few experienced workers I know who are related to the younger workers in the factory."
"As for the equipment, it's all new and there's nothing wrong with it. If the experienced workers hadn't stopped us, we would have sold it as soon as the new equipment was installed!"
Hearing Liu Nian's words, Lu Fan was completely relieved this time.
"I suppose Director Yi has made things clear to you today? That's what I mean too. Now that the factory is in my hands, without me eating meat, everyone else won't even get soup and will have to continue begging for food."
"You'll still pay their salaries, but you, Liu Nian, have to keep an eye on this guy. Don't let him sabotage me by doing this out of kindness."
"And another thing, you have to take good care of this batch of equipment at the soy sauce factory. Make sure there are no problems after it starts operating, and don't secretly sell it off."
Upon hearing this, Liu Nian realized that these matters were no longer difficult and immediately exclaimed happily:
"Is what Master Yi said true? It really was you, boss, who acquired it?"
"I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as we keep getting paid, we'll accept you as our boss and work for you without worry!"
"And that equipment, let's see who dares to mess around. You don't even need to get involved, boss. I'll break that black hand that's reaching out first."
With Liu Nian's assurance, Lu Fan felt relieved. Thinking about his previous plan, Lu Fan had no reason to be petty.
"As long as we can get to work smoothly, I'll also adjust your work position. Since you're well-connected and have connections in the factory, you can work in the security department from now on."
"Go back and pick a few good brothers to help you set up security at the factory."
"Don't worry about the salary either, I won't treat my own people badly." As he spoke, Lu Fan announced a number, promoting him to a junior section chief in the security department. This month's salary was almost equivalent to what he had earned in a year before!
What's more, the factory hasn't paid wages for a long time.
Everything else is illusory, only this guarantee of real money is real. Lu Fan's words made Liu Nian's blood boil, and he was already thinking about how to make a big splash when he got back and keep a close watch on the factory area.
When the news of the acquisition reached the factory...
Just as Lu Fan had predicted, there were still people who wanted to cause trouble.
But Lu Fan had already taken care of everything at the soy sauce factory beforehand.
With work to do and money to earn, who wouldn't be foolish enough to deliberately find fault and offend the new customer?
Let's sell it then. Who wants to turn down money? As long as we can start work and make money, everyone can just give a token amount.
Thus, the entire acquisition was completed in less than half a month, and the change of port was peaceful and secure, becoming Lu Fan's possession.
The legal department was assigned to Lü Qiuyi, while the workshop was staffed by Yi Hailiang and several veteran workers from the soy sauce factory.
Liu Nian is in the security department.
Jiang Manyue was in charge of finance and accounting, and personnel were transferred from Jingrui Group.
Lu Fan also took control of the procurement, handing it over to his own people to coordinate with the grain administration bureau.
These all require trustworthy people; otherwise, problems can escalate into major issues.
As for the sales department, Wang Wei is the right person for it.
Regardless of the type of industry or product.
Once they're made, they're meant to be sold.
It can be said that the sales department is the lifeblood of a company, second only to the production department.
Wang Wei has extremely rich sales experience, which she has earned through years of hard work.
After the leadership made the decision, Lu Fan called everyone together for a meeting.
The main purpose is to plan the next steps for the soy sauce factory's development.
From production to sales, various departments offered constructive suggestions.
Finally, Lu Fan concluded:
"As we all know, when I took over the soy sauce factory, it was on the verge of bankruptcy."
