Several middle-aged workers didn't believe his platitudes and, relying on their youth, strength, and skills, directly told Lei Tingjun that they didn't intend to continue working there.
There's also a brick factory in a neighboring county. If they work there as kiln workers, they can earn ten or twenty yuan more than they would in Honghe Township.
Although it's a bit far from home, the salary is higher, so they want to switch jobs.
Lei Tingjun glanced at them and stood up to say he didn't want to continue working at the Honghe Brick Factory. The three were among the younger ones at the factory, looking no more than thirty or forty years old.
Their minds were already wavering; they didn't want to stay. Lei Tingjun felt there was no need to force them to stay.
Let them go.
The other older workers who were willing to stay were all quite old, in their forties or fifties, or even older.
Having worked at the Honghe Brick Factory for half their lives, at this age, no other factory would hire them.
Even though he was still a little worried that Lei Tingjun would be difficult to get along with and would be demanding in terms of wages, he stayed to continue working for the sake of his family.
Lei Tingjun counted, and there were still thirteen old workers left.
He said to the workers, "Thank you for trusting me, Lei Tingjun. I will show you that you made the right choice in choosing me today."
Old Cui was initially a little embarrassed. Before coming over, he had repeatedly warned these workers not to resign.
To his surprise, three people simply abandoned their posts and left right in front of him and Lei Tingjun.
This put Old Cui in a very awkward position, and his face almost turned black.
He thought Lei Tingjun would be very angry, but he found him to be calm, as if this scene was all expected.
After meeting the workers, Old Cui invited Lei Tingjun to his home for dinner with a smile.
You have to understand, Lei Tingjun will be Lao Cui's boss in the future, his direct superior, so he has to start currying favor with him now.
Old Cui, who has been in the business for decades, is more than adept at speaking in official jargon and flattering superiors.
However, it's clear that his new boss isn't buying it at all.
Lei Tingjun said to Lao Cui, "No need, I have something to do. I'll just grab a quick bite at the noodle shop with A-Qiang and head back. You don't need to go to all that trouble. Go do what you need to do."
Actually, Lao Cui had already asked his wife to prepare things early this morning, but Lei Tingjun refused to come. This left Lao Cui a little unsure of how to deal with this boss in the future.
People like Lao Cui, who are used to being smooth and flattering all their lives, are not used to speaking their minds directly without beating around the bush.
But Lei Tingjun's style of doing things is swift and decisive, with bold and decisive actions.
It seems that the first batch of talent management personnel acquired from the factory will need to work well with their "Boss Lei".
Lei Tingjun did indeed have other matters to attend to, and he planned to visit the surrounding towns and villages of Honghe Township with A-Qiang.
If a transportation route can be established connecting Honghe Township and several surrounding townships with distinctive industries, then their brick transportation costs will be greatly reduced in the future.
Ah Qiang finally found a moment to speak with Lei Tingjun: "Brother Lei, although my three thousand yuan is a bit little, you can't just completely abandon me!"
In the future, their main business will become building material transportation. They won't earn much money just from transportation fees. Without the waste recycling business, his monthly bonus will probably be less than a thousand yuan.
But Ah-Qiang knew that the Red Brick Factory was a business that Brother Lei was determined to secure.
Since he's so optimistic, Ah-Qiang thinks he'll definitely be able to make money in the future.
The brick factory was bought for 21,000 yuan, so his 3,000 yuan should at least give him a share of over 10 percent.
Lei Tingjun walked to the roadside, lit a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "What's the rush? When did I say I wasn't going to bring you? If I wasn't going to bring you, would I have brought you here today?"
Ah Qiang scratched his head and chuckled, "I knew it! Brother Lei is the best to me!"
"Let's go grab something to eat, then we'll head out." Lei Tingjun finished his last puff of cigarette, stubbed it out, and prepared to turn around.
"Oh, Lei Tingjun! What a coincidence, we've run into you again!" Tian Guixiang came over from the opposite side with a charming smile and a cheerful, clear laugh.
Tian Guixiang walked out of a street alley, swaying as she walked. She smiled and said loudly, "Isn't it a coincidence? Look, I invited you to dinner last time but you didn't come. Now I've run into you again. With such a coincidence, we old classmates should at least have a meal together, right?"
Ah Qiang stared wide-eyed in bewilderment!
This woman's expression and tone are so familiar and enthusiastic, what's her relationship with Brother Lei?
Ah Qiang's face at that moment screamed: "Brother Lei, wake up! You're with Miss Ji, how can you be hooking up with some wild woman outside?!"
