After going out and finding a phone, Xiao Weiguo called Wang Xiuhong and then went directly to the garment factory.
The county town is only so big, and Xiao Weiguo arrived quickly.
It was clear that Wang Xiuhong had already spoken to the gatekeeper, and after asking for his name, the gatekeeper on duty let him in.
Although the garment factory was a bit dilapidated, Xiao Weiguo secretly observed the inside and found that the machines were quite new.
It seems Wang Xiuhong was right; these machines simply cannot be bought without investing hundreds of thousands of yuan.
After asking around, they found Wang Xiuhong's factory director's office.
The door was open, and Wang Xiuhong was sitting behind the table looking at a document.
Xiao Weiguo knocked on the door and strode in.
"Auntie, I'm here."
Wang Xiuhong raised her head and said with a smile, "Weiguo, come, sit down."
Xiao Weiguo sat down across the table, and Wang Xiuhong poured him a glass of water.
"Is the funding settled?"
"All done."
Xiao Weiguo nodded.
"Okay, I've pretty much figured out the policy."
She pointed to the document she had just been looking at on the table.
"In theory, it is feasible for individuals to contract state-owned enterprises, which can greatly help revitalize the economy. There have been many successful cases across the country."
Xiao Weiguo nodded. Wang Xiuhong's words meant that she supported him. With her help, things should go much more smoothly in contracting the clothing factory.
"but......"
Wang Xiuhong changed the subject.
"Although I am the factory manager, the factory belongs to the state. How to contract it out, for how long, and the resettlement of the workers are not things I can decide on my own. I also need to hear the opinions from above."
Xiao Weiguo understood her words very well. In a state-owned enterprise, no single person could make all the decisions.
This involves the interests of many people and is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie. What I can guarantee here is that I will absolutely not delay the contract fee. If you can contract it to me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. In addition, I will not lay off any of the workers. As long as they can work according to my requirements, the wages I pay will be more than double what they used to be."
Xiao Weiguo was very confident that, with his business philosophy that was decades ahead of its time, revitalizing this small garment factory would be a piece of cake.
Wang Xiuhong smiled with relief and said, "Okay, I'm relieved to have your assurance. I'll actively coordinate this matter with my superiors in the next few days. Just wait for my news."
"I hope you can take over smoothly. I should go and rest now."
When she said this, Wang Xiuhong looked a little forlorn.
She has been running this small factory for more than ten years, climbing up the ranks step by step from a junior staff member to her current factory manager through her own hard work.
She felt extremely guilty about the current state of the garment factory, which was barely surviving.
She felt sorry for the workers who trusted her, and for their families who depended on the garment factory for their livelihood.
"Auntie, as I said, I will not lay off any workers, including you. Even if I take over this factory, you will still be the factory manager, so please rest assured."
Wang Xiuhong was taken aback. What difference would that make from not taking on the contract at all?
“Auntie, your management skills are excellent. In this respect, ten Xiao Weiguos couldn’t compare. It’s just that you’re limited by policies in terms of business operations, which prevents you from opening up new avenues of thought. I will help you expand in this area later.”
"It's too early to say these things now. In short, this garment factory still can't do without you."
Xiao Weiguo had his own considerations regarding the operation of the garment factory; his goal was not just to own a garment factory.
It's impossible to let a small factory tie your hands.
This is just the beginning, not the end.
It was just a small stepping stone in his life.
He needed someone to help him manage the factory, and that person was none other than Wang Xiuhong.
Wang Xiuhong's eyes lit up, as if she had seen hope again.
If she can continue to be the factory manager, then all the hard work she has put into the first half of her life will not have been in vain.
However, as Xiao Weiguo said, that's all for later. Right now, the most important thing is to find a way to contract out the factory and save the company.
After saying goodbye to Wang Xiuhong, Xiao Weiguo returned home.
Right now, he can only wait for Wang Xiuhong to coordinate with the higher-ups before he can come forward to negotiate. Until then, he has become unemployed again.
So be it if I'm unemployed. My younger siblings have just started school, so I can use this time to sort things out at home and get rid of any worries. That way, I won't be distracted when I run the garment factory later and can focus wholeheartedly on developing my business.
For the next two days, he either helped Grandma Liu with housework at home, or bought groceries, cooked, and picked up and dropped off Liu Ye and Shan Shan.
In the evening, Xiao Weiguo picked up Liu Ye and Shanshan from school at No. 1 Middle School, and the three of them rode two bicycles home.
We had just turned into the alleyway where their house was located.
Suddenly, five or six people jumped out and blocked their way.
The leader was a short-haired, burly black man. He wore an oversized floral shirt, revealing a large belly covered in chest hair.
The men behind them were carrying weapons such as wooden sticks, chains, and locks.
Behind him, He Shuang had a toothpick dangling from his mouth and a large wooden stick in one hand. Leaning against the wall, he sneered sinisterly, his venomous eyes fixed on Xiao Weiguo.
Xiao Weiguo felt a chill run down his spine.
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
The burly, dark-skinned man stood with his hands on his hips, his belly protruding, and pointed to himself with his thumb.
Have you ever heard of a "man"?
