After a week of commotion, Liu Lihua checked the list and found that those who were not employees of the factory would never be hired again.
If it's one of your own factory employees, you can either report it to the police or leave on your own; it's up to you.
These people are so regretful they wish they could cut off their own hands. You were so cheap, so greedy for money!
Yan Xiaonan checked the list and found that the people who made the mistakes were all from the civilian workshop, while the military uniform workshop had no problems at all.
I couldn't help but admire the high level of awareness among soldiers; it even influenced the employees who came to work in this environment to become more outstanding.
Yan Xiaonan asked the workshop director to train and assess the newly recruited employees and assign them positions based on their performance.
Every workshop was short-staffed, so the workshop directors engaged in a fierce battle to recruit workers, with the same urgency and determination as when grabbing meat at a market.
The 150 new recruits who passed the assessment were snapped up in the blink of an eye. The new recruits were both excited and apprehensive; those mentors were too ruthless.
Sheng Lijuan looked at the list in her hand, sighed and shook her head: "Nan Nan, do you know how many employees your companies have now?"
Yan Xiaonan nodded with a smile. He was joking; with so much salary and benefits going out every month, how could he not know?
"The furniture factory has 128 people, the club has 500 people, the clothing factory has exactly 300 people, my fashion store has 5 people, the general store has 5 people, and the lumberyard has 30 people."
Sheng Lijuan nodded, carefully calculating on her fingers:
"We've got our hands on these three big players: the club's membership cards, the furniture factory's logging department, and the clothing factory's military uniform workshop."
"So, Nan Nan, our biggest expense right now is employee welfare, as well as some operating costs. I suggest opening the club's large shopping mall to the public."
Yan Xiaonan's eyes widened. How could she have forgotten about this large shopping mall? But she couldn't blame herself; it was all Huameili's doing.
However, Huameili is really capable; this large store is only a small part open, but it is already profitable.
"Aunt Sheng, you're absolutely right. I'll call Hua Meili right away."
Hua Meili is furious at the hardware factory. She doesn't know when it started, but there are more and more hardware factories, and her interests are being seriously affected.
Most importantly, the pulley rod blueprint that Yan Xiaonan drew for her back then was leaked at some point.
It's also my fault for not managing the hardware factory properly during this period; I've been focusing all my attention on the large retail store.
But in fact, large stores make more money than hardware factories, and Huameili has entered a period of reflection.
"Hello, who is this?" Hua Meili answered the phone impatiently.
"Sister Hua, it's me, Yan Xiaonan. Are you free right now? Let's talk about the supermarket." Yan Xiaonan could tell from Hua Meili's voice that she was in a bad mood.
"Ah, Nan Nan, you're free? I'll come to your clothing factory right now. I'd like to get a few more outfits." Hua Meili's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Nan Nan had another good suggestion?
The two met quickly. Yan Xiaonan poured Hua Meili a glass of soda, opened the red notebook in her hand, and said:
"Sister Hua, our supermarket is so big, and we're only using a quarter of it. It's such a waste."
“I know, but we can’t have too much stuff, there’s no way we’ll have that many people buying it.” Hua Meili certainly knew that.
"Sister Hua, what I mean is to open a large-scale supermarket, targeting the entire capital city," Yan Xiaonan said boldly.
"What about those gold and silver card holders?" Hua Meili's eyes lit up, but she immediately thought of these people again.
“That’s easy. We’ll divide it into two areas and open two doors. One door will lead directly down from the club, and the other will be outside the club with a walkway leading in.” Yan Xiaonan handed over the blueprints.
The drawings were created by Yan Xiaonan, modeling them after modern parking lots, except that roller shutters were added.
Furthermore, inside the roller shutter door, there is a painted guardhouse, which is for the gatekeeper to rest.
Because the passageway is quite long, it was designed as a gentle slope, with counters on both sides.
Hua Meili pointed to the counters and asked, "Nan Nan, what's this for?"
"Rent it out. How much does a counter cost per month? There are also counters available outside, but you have to pay rent for those too."
Hua Meili's eyes widened: "You shrewd businessman."
Yan Xiaonan pretended to be angry and said, "Fine, I'll go find Chen'er to cooperate on this place."
"No, no, I'm a shrewd businessman too. It's better if we go along with it." Hua Meili changed her tone as she left.
But she soon became unhappy: "You're good here but I'm not good there. If my hardware factory continues to operate, it will lose money."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. The hardware business is the easiest to do, but also the most difficult. The entry barrier is low and the cost is not high, which is why many people go into this industry.
"Sister Hua, why don't you change your thinking? Starting a factory is too costly. Why don't you become a distributor and set up a few counters here?"
Hua Meili fell silent. She had also considered this method, but she couldn't bear to give up the factory she had run for over ten years.
"Nan Nan, I'm so reluctant to let your sister go. How about you help me think of a way? If we make money, I'll give you a share."
"Why don't you open an auto parts factory, hire some skilled workers, and find some knowledgeable people to give it a try?" Yan Xiaonan suggested hesitantly.
"Ah..." Hua Meili jumped up and hugged Yan Xiaonan tightly.
“You’re amazing that you thought of this – the two of us could go it together.” Hua Meili was genuinely excited.
"Sister Hua, don't get excited. The initial investment for an auto parts factory is very high. Also, you need to find the manufacturers for those parts."
Hua Meili waved her hand: "Nan Nan, don't worry, I have all these connections. I'll go back and put together a plan, and I'll talk to you about it later."
"Sigh, Sister Hua, about that supermarket thing..."
"You decide, I agree to whatever you say." Hua Meili's voice was already far away from Yan Xiaonan.
Sheng Lijuan stood up from her seat, pointed to herself at Yan Xiaonan, and looked embarrassed.
It means I haven't even said a word yet, is this Huameili blind? I'm such a big person and he can't even see me.
Yan Xiaonan thought to herself how close she had come to disaster. Indeed, at that moment, Yan Xiaonan had also forgotten about Sheng Lijuan. Hua Meili was really good at controlling the situation.
“Aunt Sheng, don’t pay attention to her. We’ll start construction according to the blueprints. You go find Brother Ai Dang, and I’ll go find my third brother. Those counters need to be custom-made.”
Sheng Lijuan looked at the angle of the slope and realized that the counters were indeed custom-made; at least the legs of these counters had to be of different lengths.
Nan Nan also said that not only do we need a glass counter in the front, but we also need to put some display cases in the back, otherwise how can other people's products be displayed?
Sheng Lijuan felt a headache coming on. She waved her hand and said, "Go find your third brother first."
