Director Kong said, "Well, didn't Director Guo promise to open yesterday? Everyone showed up early, but the factory situation made it impossible to open. They just told the employees to stay home and wait. There was a lot of commotion at the factory yesterday. Last night, the windows at Director Guo's house were smashed. When Director Guo went to check, he was hit on the head and is now in the hospital."
"The factory director is in the hospital? Is it serious? The factory director said that if we can't find orders, we don't have to come to work. If I had known so many things would happen, I should have come." Li Xingguo said self-reproachfully.
Director Kong sighed. "Mr. Guo is hurt and heartbroken. He's applied for early retirement, and the factory has recommended you. I want to ask for your opinion. This is the current situation at the factory. If things don't work out, people's emotions will probably become even more radical. Do you have any good ideas?"
Li Xingguo cursed Director Guo in his heart, saying that he was such an old fox. He applied for retirement at the age of 50. He had thought that Director Guo could suspend some people first, but he didn't expect that this terrible mess would be thrown to him directly. He even suspected that Director Guo had staged and acted out the problem himself.
"Director Kong, I have been studying the market these days and have some ideas. I would like to report them to you now." Li Xingguo expressed his idea of opening a Chinese fried chicken and hamburger restaurant. The factory can transform into a peripheral industry related to fried chicken and hamburgers.
Director Kong thought about it and said, "I will hold a meeting to study your idea. The profit of American chicken is very high, and the investment cost of opening a store is not small."
"I have another idea, which is to improve the products. For example, I grew up in the south eating meat dumplings and egg yolk dumplings. I wonder if we can combine them with bread. I also see green bean cakes and red bean pastries. I saw on TV that people in other countries eat three-in-one snacks. If we can make something that suits Chinese tastes, I wonder if it will be a hit. However, developing new products takes a long time, and I'm afraid the factory staff can't wait."
Li Xingguo went on to say that he originally wanted to make noodles, but making noodles would require new equipment, and his superiors would definitely not agree.
"Xiao Li, your idea is very good. It's not in vain that you have been running around the market these days. You have put in a lot of effort. You can try all of these, but are the meat dumplings and egg yolk dumplings delicious?" Director Kong is from the north, and he likes sweet dumplings, which are filled with either dates or red beans. He is a little curious about the meat dumplings.
Li Xingguo had a hard-to-describe expression. “It’s probably because of the difference between the north and the south. People in the south really like to eat it.”
"Then you study it. If you can sell it to the south someday, your factory will be revitalized." Director Kong encouraged the factory to innovate and save itself. Most factories now still have illusions and are waiting for rescue from above. They have no idea of the situation. He is very satisfied with people like Li Xingguo who are willing to use their brains.
"Director, research and development is not that fast. How do we appease these employees now?" Li Xingguo asked quickly. He didn't want his head to be split open tomorrow.
"Old Guo's work can't be handed over just like that. Let him arrange all the people before leaving." Director Kong waved his hand and handed the job of cleaning up to Director Guo, who was full of worries. Xiao Li was a talent with good ideas. The factory still had to rely on him. He had to be protected well so that he could concentrate on his research.
Li Xingguo smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Director Guo."
"Just focus on researching new products. You don't have to worry about these job matters. I'll go to the meeting to discuss the fried chicken and burgers." The price of chicken in the United States is very high. If I can open a store like this, it will definitely be the best. The money I save will be earned by the foreigners. Director Kong had a fighting face when he came and a smile on his face when he left. At least there is a factory with hope of revival.
Li Xingguo saw Director Kong off, got on his bike and went home. If the people in the factory's R&D department had any ideas, the factory would not be like this. In Li Xingguo's eyes, they were not as good as Wu Zhiqiu, or even as good as Manman and Xiaoyu.
"Mom, Mom," Li Xingguo called Wu Zhiqiu at home.
Wu Zhiqiu had just finished cleaning the house and was about to go to the tobacco shop to help Chunni. "What's wrong? Is there an accident?"
"Nothing's wrong, Mom. Do you know how Southern rice dumplings are filled with meat and egg yolk?"
Wu Zhiqiu nodded. Of course she knew. In her previous life, mooncakes were filled with egg yolks and glutinous rice balls were filled with meat.
"Mom, do you think it's possible to wrap the bread with this stuffing?" Li Xingguo looked at Wu Zhiqiu expectantly.
