"What do you mean by that?"
Faced with Zhao Defu's confusion and doubt, Jiang Sheng gave a simple explanation.
“You may not understand now, but do you remember what I told you before? We can’t put all our eggs in one basket. The cannery workers are not a long-term solution. We will still need these workers in the future, so we can’t easily lay them off.”
After Jiang Sheng explained it to him, Zhao Defu understood.
"I see!"
Zhao Defu looked at Jiang Sheng with great admiration: "Brother Zheng, you mean that our cannery will continue to operate for the time being, but we will have to face transformation in the future. That will be the time when we are most in need of manpower. We can't let all these trained workers leave, right?"
Seeing that Zhao Defu understood his intentions instantly, Jiang Sheng nodded appreciatively at him.
"That's right, it's no wonder I value you so much. You're really smart; you figured out the key point very quickly."
"Hehehe..."
Zhao Defu smiled sheepishly, but his face showed a hint of smugness.
"But then again," Zhao Defu asked with great curiosity, "what are you planning to do next, Brother Sheng? Can you give me a hint in advance?"
Zhao Defu immediately became excited.
He knew Jiang Sheng's capabilities, and since Jiang Sheng had said so, and was so confident.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Sheng, Zhao Defu knew that Jiang Sheng must have a solution to say that.
“Our factory is just a small-scale processing plant. Compared with those big companies, it’s nothing.”
Jiang Sheng smiled slightly and said confidently, "Our cannery is just a stepping stone to accumulate initial capital and advance to the next level."
"The opportunity is right in front of us. As long as we can seize it firmly, the next business venture will only be the real beginning!"
Upon hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Zhao Defu was deeply moved and inspired.
Unexpectedly, Brother Sheng's ambitions went beyond this. In that case, he would follow Brother Sheng closely.
As for Jiang Sheng, looking at the small cannery in front of him, he already had his own ideas.
Today, this small Shengde canned food processing plant may be small, but it has all the necessary functions.
But in the end, it was just a minor disturbance.
They are still some distance away from becoming a real company and officially entering the business world.
And now, the turning point in this journey is fast approaching.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they're constantly putting money into it; they're not making any money at all.
But this was just the beginning. He used the money he had earned to retain these workers, which was also to prepare for starting a company in the future and to leave behind some readily available talent and labor.
"I truly admire Brother Sheng's foresight!"
Zhao Defu couldn't help but give Jiang Sheng a thumbs up: "Now that we've made preparations, we can go all out and get started!"
The two were of one mind. Even though Jiang Sheng hadn't said everything clearly, Zhao Defu understood Jiang Sheng's intentions at this point.
He had a vague feeling that what Jiang Sheng was about to do was something big that could change their future!
"So, the first step is to make our Shengde Canned Food Processing Plant appear to outsiders as if it's really going to fail, especially Chen Yaofu. The more he believes our factory is failing, the smoother things will go for us."
When Jiang Sheng first started the Shengde Canned Food Processing Plant, he had already made all the necessary plans.
In the future, society will develop at an extremely rapid pace, with survival of the fittest; those who do not progress will be eliminated.
Of course, a canning plant like this can't possibly continue operating stably for a lifetime.
The idea that one could live a stable life relying on this small factory was simply not very likely.
Moreover, Jiang Sheng is ambitious and will definitely seek an opportunity to pursue greater development.
Now that a new opportunity is right in front of him, he should definitely seize it.
However, despite his joy, Zhao Defu still had some concerns.
“I know what you’re thinking, Sheng-ge, but if we really make it look like the factory has gone out of business, those wholesalers who buy goods from us definitely won’t be happy about it!”
“You’re right,” Jiang Sheng nodded affirmatively. “After all, our canning plant is still in operation. Suddenly it’s on the verge of bankruptcy, and we have to spend money to subsidize their wages. Anyone would feel something is wrong.”
Not only would people feel something was wrong, but some might even think that their factory was giving out welfare benefits and paying for the workers for free.
These small canneries have no potential for long-term development.
In a few more years, let alone making money, it would be good if they didn't lose money.
Times change, and one must keep up with social development in order to make money.
"The factory will continue to operate, but we need to seize the right opportunity to transform it."
Zhao Defu understood the implications of this, and so did Sun Zhengyi and Sun Daqiang.
After learning about Jiang Sheng's next plan from him, the two nodded without hesitation.
"Director Jiang, whatever you're going to do next, just go ahead and do it. We'll all follow you and do whatever you ask us to do!"
Masayoshi Son readily agreed, saying, "Liu Gaoshan has already fallen into the trap. All we need to do now is wait patiently. There's still plenty of time, so there's no need to rush."
Since being brought by Zhou Yongming and working under Jiang Shenggan, Masayoshi Son has seen Jiang Shenggan's intelligence and business acumen, and Son is now wholeheartedly prepared to serve Jiang Shenggan to the end.
Sun Daqiang, of course, needs no introduction. Now studying at night school, he is working even harder and is also very helpful at the factory.
At this critical moment, if it could help the factory complete its transformation more quickly amidst the crisis, he naturally chose to help without hesitation.
Of course, apart from them, everyone else in the factory was worried, feeling that the factory would soon be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Although their wages were still being paid as usual, Jiang Sheng had promised them that he would never delay their wages.
However, these workers had long been mentally prepared to be laid off at any time.
Of course, since salaries were being paid as usual, despite everyone's concerns, no one was willing to leave.
After all, factories that pay wages so readily and offer such easy work are truly rare these days.
