"Yes, I heard that people in Guangzhou and Zhuhai have already done this, and the results have been very good."
Wang Xiuhong is now the head of the county's garment factory, which has more than 200 workers and is considered a fairly large enterprise. It's impossible for her not to know about this kind of thing.
Xiao Weiguo teased Liu Changhe in order to get Wang Xiuhong's attention.
After all, it was the first time he had met Wang Xiuhong, so it wasn't appropriate for him to make such an outrageous request right away.
"Auntie, I know about your factory's situation. It's currently operating at a loss. If it weren't for subsidies from higher authorities, even paying wages would be a problem. Right?"
Wu Xiuhong sighed.
"Alas, it's all my fault for being incompetent. I've been leading over two hundred people through a life of barely surviving. I've let down the people who trusted me."
Xiao Weiguo shook his head and said sincerely to Wang Xiuhong, "Auntie, this really can't be blamed on you. Enterprises within the system rely on centralized purchasing and sales. The enterprises have no autonomy at all. Everything depends on the assigned tasks. This kind of operation cannot be flexible and adaptable, so it cannot cater to the market. Losses are to be expected and have nothing to do with the leaders' abilities."
According to Xiao Weiguo's inquiries, Wang Xiuhong is quite capable and daring, but ultimately the system limits her performance, leaving her with energy but nowhere to use it.
Wang Xiuhong placed her hands on the table and thought for a moment.
“You’re right, you’ve hit the nail on the head regarding the problems in our factory.”
Even so, it's not easy for you to contract out the business and operate it independently.
"Oh? Why?"
Xiao Weiguo asked, puzzled.
"First and foremost, our factory has already invested hundreds of thousands in equipment alone. If you want to take over the contract, it's simply impossible without at least 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a year. In addition, we still owe the workers more than two months' wages, and the resettlement of those workers is also a major problem."
Xiao Weiguo thought for a moment. The workers' wages were not a problem. As long as he could take over, with his skills in the service industry, he could turn a profit in less than a month, and then he could pay the back wages.
It's the contract fee of around 100,000 yuan that Wang Xiuhong mentioned. This kind of thing can't be delayed. If he can't come up with this money, the higher-ups won't contract the factory to him.
Wang Xiuhong understood that given Xiao Weiguo's family's financial situation, it was impossible for him to come up with even 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, let alone 100,000. After all, Wang Xiuhong had personally witnessed how poor his family was.
Although Xiao Weiguo has made some money and settled down in the city, 100,000 yuan is not just 10 yuan. In this day and age, how many people can easily pull out such a sum?
Just as Xiao Weiguo was worrying about the money, Grandpa Shang, who had been engrossed in eating and had little presence in the room, suddenly stood up.
