After getting home from get off work, Xu Xiangyang collected all the orders, and then it was almost time to leave.
Sales on the black market have been good lately, but he has also realized a problem.
Selling too much stuff will obviously affect normal market demand.
After all, everything in the country is rationed and limited, so even if you want to buy it, it's not easy to get it.
Therefore, the crackdown has been very strict in the last few days.
They had too much stock. Master Wei's side has already been cleared out once. Although the losses weren't significant, it served as a reminder to everyone.
This can't go on.
After thinking it over, Xu Xiangyang decided to limit the supply. Although he would earn less money, safety was the most important thing.
Don't be fooled by the fact that everything seems fine now; what if this is just the calm before the storm?
Nobody can say for sure about these things, and he has no idea either.
The next morning, he didn't go to the factory either, but went to Qian Wenqing's place instead.
I explained the limited-edition sale. In any case, these things have to be done; we can't risk our lives.
"Limited edition?" Qian Wenqing asked, puzzled. "Why is it limited? Our business is booming, and demand exceeds supply."
If it weren't for the current restrictions on doing business, they would all want to open shops and let people come and buy from them.
Unfortunately, this is not allowed.
Xu Xiangyang explained his concerns, saying that since they were all on the same side, it was necessary to make things clear.
After hearing his words, Qian Wenqing fell silent, lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "That explains why there have been so many strangers at the black market lately, who don't buy anything but just ask all sorts of questions."
This wasn't the first time this had happened, which is why he knew what was going on.
Xu Xiangyang felt that this matter had to be handled carefully. The leaders would be coming to inspect in a couple of days, and there couldn't be any problems.
If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Xiao Qing, you need to make sure you explain what I'm saying to everyone." He looked seriously at the person opposite him and said, "If anything goes wrong, we're finished."
Not only is it over, but all the hard work I put in before has been wasted.
Xu Xiangyang didn't want to work for nothing; he didn't have that much time to waste.
Besides, even if he can't be caught, what about his family?
His entire family was sent to the countryside because of him, and they suffered terribly.
Qian Wenqing saw the seriousness of his expression and knew the gravity of the situation as well.
"Brother Xu, don't worry, that will absolutely not happen," he assured him confidently.
Seeing him like this, Xu Xiangyang didn't know how he could guarantee anything, but there was no other way now.
After all, those under his command are people, not machines or slaves, so being betrayed is normal.
However, it's also a good thing if it can be avoided.
"Alright, you decide what to do." He nodded and said, "Continue supplying other people as usual, but you can't sell like this yourself anymore. The higher-ups are coming down to inspect these next couple of days, who knows what they might do."
He didn't know the specifics; only Liao Shizhang gave him some hints.
Besides, if Liao Shizhang found out that I did this, he probably wouldn't help me again next time.
So, he still has to rely on himself.
At this point, no one approves of such behavior, and trying to get the leader involved is probably harder than climbing to heaven.
Xu Xiangyang understood this, so he never tried to win over anyone.
Moreover, the obvious connections between the activities make it easy for people to accuse them of forming cliques.
Under normal circumstances, there won't be any problems, but if you encounter a serious leader, you're probably doomed.
Back home from the black market, Xu Xiangyang pondered the present matter. Whatever it was, someone had to take care of it.
After thinking about it, he took a few sausages to the factory that afternoon.
They delivered the food directly to the company cafeteria and handed it over to Chef Sun.
"Wow!" Master Sun's eyes widened when he saw this. "Director Xu, this is incredibly extravagant!"
Chinese sausage is a great thing; it keeps well and tastes delicious!
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "It's nothing, it just so happens that some relatives came to visit."
You can't say you bought it, nor can you say it was a gift. After all, you're the factory manager now, and it's very possible that one slip of the tongue or a wrong word could give someone something to hold against you.
Master Sun nodded happily. With these things, he could cook something delicious when the leaders came over.
"Oh, right," he said, putting away the sausages, "Director Chen and the others went fishing again this morning and caught a five-pound fish!"
He looked very excited. At this time, the big fish were only two or three pounds, and five pounds was a rare sight.
Of course, river fish don't count; those can easily weigh ten or more kilograms.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang said, "The food at the factory hasn't been very good these past few days. When the leaders come, we'll put those small fish in the canteen's food."
It shouldn't look too shabby, right?
Apart from having a bowl of fish soup (which wasn't actually fish soup) a couple of days ago, the factory workers have been eating cabbage and potatoes for many days now, but this won't do.
Master Sun thought it was fine, "Sure, a few years ago we didn't even have cabbage and potatoes, let alone what we ate. This time we can have cabbage and potatoes all the time, which is pretty good."
Although life was tough, everyone's fighting spirit remained undiminished!
After leaving the cafeteria, Xu Xiangyang returned to his office.
There are no documents on the table, and the number of documents has been gradually decreasing over the past two days. What's going on?
He picked up the phone on the table and dialed to call Liang Wenfang.
More than ten minutes later, Liang Wenfang finally arrived.
Her face was covered in sweat, and there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.
Of course, Xu Xiangyang didn't see it; by the time he looked up, the person had already come in.
"Director Xu, is there anything I can help you with?" Liang Wenfang was wearing a cropped shirt and black trousers.
Xu Xiangyang didn't look at it much and asked, "Where are the work documents?"
"Document? What document?" Liang Wenfang looked at him with confusion and bewilderment.
Xu Xiangyang thought he was very patient, so he said, "Don't the various departments need to submit their review documents to me? Haven't they finished yet?"
The higher-ups will be arriving at any time in the next couple of days. I've already given instructions in previous meetings, telling them to prepare and then I'll take a look.
But what time is it now, and the documents still haven't been submitted?
He even began to doubt whether he had made himself clear before.
Liang Wenfang looked like she suddenly realized something, and then said, "You didn't come this morning, so I didn't deliver it. Who knew you would come this afternoon?"
Xu Xiangyang: ? ? ?
So, does he have to inform someone whether he's coming or not?
"I'm the factory manager, are you the factory manager?" he asked with a serious expression.
If we don't deal with this little secretary now, he might not even have a place to stand.
Liang Wenfang was startled by his sudden change of expression. However, after regaining her composure, she said, "Of course you are the factory director, I am just a secretary. Director Xu, I will get you the documents now."
With that, she turned to leave.
