Chapter 342 Can You Make the Decision?
Xu Lin left the villa and came to the grain and oil market. She wanted to bring a large amount of food back to Longguo, which was not an easy task.
First you have to buy food, and then you have to find a reason to buy it that will not arouse suspicion, which is much more troublesome.
Xu Lin asked around in the market and found out that it was easy to buy food in small quantities, but it was difficult to buy in large quantities.
The merchant will ask you what you do, what you buy food for, and where you want to deliver the food.
They also directly ask to see IDs. If large quantities of food are sold, merchants are afraid of taking responsibility if something goes wrong.
Xu Lin turned around and finally figured it out. She had to find a legitimate reason and think of another way.
She sat on the motorcycle, counted with her fingers, and found that the solution to the problem was in the east.
Since there was a solution to the problem, Xu Lin did not hesitate and rode his motorcycle forward. The further he went, the more he felt something was wrong.
She rode to the factory area, and as she walked, Xu Lin found that she seemed to have walked this road before.
Where could it be?
Before Xu Lin could figure it out, she saw a group of people gathered in front of her, with sounds of crying and quarreling coming from the crowd.
What happened there? Xu Lin walked over with curiosity and quickly saw what the place was.
That is the flour mill run by the Ji family. Are the workers there causing trouble?
Xu Lin parked her motorcycle, found an aunt who looked easy to talk to, walked over, and spoke with a smile.
"Hello, Auntie, what happened in front?"
"Hello, hello, you are a very pretty girl. Are you here to look for a job?"
The aunt's eyes lit up when she looked at Xu Lin's appearance. She thought that this little girl was so pretty. It would be great if she was her own child.
"I was passing by and saw a lot of people gathered here, so I came over to take a look." Xu Lin pointed at the people gathered in front with a curious expression on her face.
"Ah, those people you're talking about." Auntie sighed, "They are all pitiful people."
Xu Lin understood the whole story from her aunt.
Those people were employees of the factory. After Xu Lin emptied the factory, it was in debt.
Originally, this should have been a problem that the Ji family should have solved, but the Ji family went bankrupt and could not save themselves, so they mortgaged the factory to the creditor.
It is said that it was the Wei family who took over. The Wei family only took over the assets but were unwilling to take over the workers and their wages, so the two sides started arguing.
The workers live on that little salary. If they suddenly lose their jobs and their salaries, how can they be willing to strike?
There was a lot of noise yesterday and no one cared about it. Today even more people came. It looks like the workers won't leave unless an explanation is given.
"Auntie, this is a flour mill. I heard that all the machines are there. As long as someone takes over and buys the raw materials, it can start production.
Is there no one to take over?" Xu Lin asked.
“It’s not that no one wants to take over. It’s just that there are too many disputes. There are people who want to buy equipment and some who want the factory.
No one is willing to hire a worker." Auntie sighed again, thinking that workers have the hardest job in this world.
They are the ones who are unlucky because their boss went bankrupt. How can they seek justice?
Xu Lin stared at the group of people, then looked at the factory. An idea suddenly came to her mind. This seemed to be her chance.
Since you need a name to buy food, what better reason could be than to open a factory?
What’s more, her factory is not limited to flour, rice is also possible.
She can also process some noodles, rice noodles, and sweet potato noodles, so she will have a reason to buy more food.
Tsk, this is such a good opportunity.
Others in the factory didn't want to hire manual laborers, but she could. It was only one month's salary, and she could afford it.
Xu Lin did what she thought. She said goodbye to her aunt and came to the factory gate. The factory gate was guarded by a military general and there were several security guards standing behind the gate.
Seeing Xu Lin squeezed in front of the factory gate, the security guards stared at her unkindly, and one of them asked, "Who are you?"
"I will go to your supervisor and tell him that I want to buy a factory and continue to run a flour mill. I will discuss the details with him in person."
The security guard did not believe what Xu Lin said and was about to retort, but was stopped by a look from Xu Lin.
Forget it, forget it. It’s just a notification. He should report it.
Xu Lin didn't have to wait long. The security guard came over and told Xu Lin that she could see the person in charge, but she had to go through the back door.
After telling Xu Lin the location, the security guard left, apparently to wait for Xu Lin at the back door.
As for whether the security guards would do anything, Xu Lin was not worried because she believed in her own fighting ability.
After riding around on the motorcycle, Xu Lin arrived at the back door of the factory. He knocked gently a few times, and it was indeed the security guard who opened the door.
The security guard was not surprised to see Xu Lin coming on a motorcycle.
After inviting Xu Lin in, the security guard poked his head out to observe and when he saw nothing unusual, he took Xu Lin to the office.
Xu Lin was very familiar with the topography of the factory. After all, she had a good memory and could remember it after walking there once, so she knew that the security guards did not take a detour.
"The person guarding the factory is the deputy director, whose surname is Hou. He is a very nice person. When other factory leaders heard about the accident, they hid themselves and dared not show up.
He was the only one who came every day to try to find a solution to the problem, but unfortunately he had no money and no power, so there was no way he could come up with any solution. "
Perhaps because they were in the factory, the security guard started to talk more, chattering about the leaders' gossip.
Xu Lin just listened without expressing any opinion or questioning the truth of what the security guard said.
Whether it is true or not will become clear when you meet the person.
When they arrived at the deputy director's office, the security guard knocked on the door. Someone came in and out, and then the security guard opened the door and invited Xu Lin in.
After watching Xu Lin enter the office, the security guard did not follow her in, nor did he leave. Instead, he stood at the door as the God of Wealth.
Deputy Director Hou looked at the pretty girl who came in. From her clothes, he could tell that she was quite wealthy.
I thought this must be some rich second-generation who came out to start a business.
In line with the principle of not offending anyone, Deputy Director Hou stood up and greeted them warmly.
"Hello, my last name is Hou Sixian, and I'm the deputy director of the factory here."
"Hello, I'm Xu Lin." Xu Lin stretched out her hand to shake hands with the deputy director-general, and took the opportunity to look at the deputy director-general's appearance.
"Hello, hello, please take a seat." Deputy Director Hou asked Xu Lin to take a seat, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xu Lin, and then asked:
"Do you really want to take over this flour mill?"
"Yes, can you make the decision?" Xu Lin asked.
"I can't make the decision. This place has been taken over by the Wei family. I will stay here just to fight for some benefits for the workers.
We can’t just dismiss them without paying them anything, and we also want to see if we can recruit them back to the factory.”
Deputy Director Hou was very frank and stated his purpose as soon as they met.
Xu Lin stared into his eyes and found that this man was actually speaking from the heart. She was indeed meeting a good and responsible leader.
