Chapter 358 Time Flies
Pingyang City.
At the bus station entrance.
Ever since the opening of the Rongcheng Radio Factory and the cancellation of the ticket requirement for purchasing televisions, fewer people have come to Pingyang City to purchase televisions, and the business of the newly built hotel in Linzhi has slowed down a lot.
I didn't expect the changes to be so fast, but fortunately Zhang Jing was willing to give them a hand and let them go to Xinshi to sell the garment factory.
After getting involved in the clothing business, Linzhi discovered that the profits of this business were not much worse than those of televisions. Televisions can still be used after more than ten or even twenty years, but clothes are different.
Many people live by mending clothes not because they are really frugal, but because they do not have enough cloth coupons to buy new clothes. Now these new clothes are not very expensive and do not require cloth coupons.
Girls who like beautiful things will buy one or two sets at a time, and they will buy two sets of the same style but different colors to take home.
Nowadays, the hotel near the station rarely has two customers in ten days.
The whole family now wants to go to Xinshi to do business, but Tu Qiang cannot leave because he is a formal worker, and Luo Hui, who just got married not long ago, is from Shanyang County, so many things will be inconvenient for her to go to Xinshi.
Lin Zhi, who originally planned to run the hotel, also went to Xinshi, leaving Luo Hui alone to take care of the house.
Luo Hui’s daily tasks are very simple now. She just needs to wait at home for the goods to be shipped from Shanyang County and contact the transportation department to have the goods sent to Xinshi.
When I was bored, I would go to the grocery store to chat with Chen Yumei. Life was so comfortable.
The Tu family originally thought that the hotel business would decline, but they did not expect that a few years later, the business here would be packed every day.
The largest number of travelers are small vendors from all over the country who come to Pingyang City to purchase goods.
At this time, Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi were walking in Wangou Village.
Came to Zhao Laowu's house.
Zhao Laowu's pig farm has now expanded significantly and he has hired several employees to raise pigs.
"Brother Yi and sister-in-law, why did you come back for a visit when you have time?"
When Zhao Laowu saw that the visitor was Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing, they squeezed out time to come over and entertain them.
"You do your thing, we'll just walk around."
Zhao Yi waved his hand.
Then the two of them walked to the original thatched hut. At this time, the thatched hut had changed. After Zhao Yi and his wife left, the house returned to Zhao Dahai. The children at home did not need them to worry about, and they had more money than they could spend, so the two of them rebuilt the place.
Although it’s not as good as Zhao Laowu’s house, it’s still pretty good.
Looking at the changed house in front of her, Zhang Jing felt many emotions. She originally thought that just having enough food and clothes would be enough, but she didn't expect that now she has so much savings and such a large factory.
Li Dequan and his wife have left Wangou Village and gone to the city to enjoy life with their son. Zhao Dahai and Li Daju also went to the city and bought a house not far from Zhao Yi's home, so that they can visit their grandchildren when they have time.
Several years passed in a flash.
Li Fang and Peng Yiju came to the garment factory.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Jing saw that the two men looked unhappy and didn't understand what was going on.
"Why!"
Li Fang sighed.
"The factory has given us unpaid leave, and we don't know when we can go back to work."
The two men are not very old now, only 38 or 39 years old, and have been working in the garment factory since they were old enough to understand. Now the business of the garment factory is changing day by day, and the factory has not been able to pay wages for several months.
They are not the first ones to be suspended without pay. Many employees have been laid off since last year. Now there is only one workshop left, and the number of workers in the workshop is only half of the original workshop.
At the beginning, everyone still hoped to have a chance to return to their original jobs, but as time went on, everyone understood what was going on. As a result, except for the steel mill, there was no fluctuation in layoffs, but almost all workers in other factories were laid off.
"If you can't go, then come and work here. I'll just replace the machines with flatbed cars. You'll get used to it in a few days. I'll give you the same salary as an old employee, 400 yuan a month."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
When the two heard this, their faces immediately looked much better. This statement cleared up the secret of being laid off. Now Pingyang City is developing everywhere, and those skilled workers can only get a maximum of ten yuan a day at the construction site. With food and accommodation included, it's only three hundred yuan a month, which is still a relatively high salary.
They only earn more than 200 yuan a month working in the garment factory.
"You said so. I have to work here until I retire."
Li Fang immediately said with a smile.
The cost of getting married in the city is getting higher and higher now, and the children in the family have just entered college. The elderly always want to leave more savings for their children, especially when they can still work for nearly 20 years at this age.
"I should have listened to you, sister-in-law. You don't know how much the hotel business outside the bus station is doing. The wages are much higher than our factory wages."
Peng Yiju looked at Zhang Jing and said.
When Zhang Jing advised them to buy the dilapidated houses in front of the station and turn them into a hotel, they didn't believe it at all. Now they feel a little regretful.
"Let's not talk about the past. I feel more relieved now with your help. Daya is now the supervisor of the workshop. You two have been in the garment factory for so many years, I believe you have learned a lot about management.
I'll leave this new workshop to you two. ”
Zhang Jing smiled.
Having known each other for so many years, when they were in trouble, the two of them came to help without saying a word. Now that they are in trouble, Zhang Jing naturally will not pretend not to see it. She jokingly asked them to start as employees. Zhang Jing knows the character of the two of them, after all, they have been together for so many years.
Grassroots management must be given the freedom to let the two people try it out.
"There must be a lot of people looking for work here now."
Peng Yiju looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
"There aren't many here. Most of them are probably looking for jobs in the city's construction teams."
Zhang Jing shook her head. There were no more than a dozen people looking for jobs at the garment factory every month. Those who came to work at the factory never thought of leaving. There were usually no vacancies except when there were expansions.
"Where's Brother Yi?"
Li Fangqi didn't see Zhao Yi when he arrived at the office.
"I don't know where he went fishing. Ever since Zhao Peng came to work, he has been like a hands-off boss, going out fishing all day long."
Zhang Jing shook her head helplessly.
Zhao Peng came directly to the factory to study management and operation after graduation. Zhao Xuanxuan was taken away by her godmother Su Hong after graduation and has been studying with Su Hong for a year.
With the help of this kid Zhao Peng, Zhao Yi naturally had an easy life. Zhao Peng would only call Zhao Yi when something big happened.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yi walked into the office carrying a bucket of fish.
"Speak of the devil and he will appear."
Zhang Jing smiled helplessly.
"It's a combination of work and rest."
Zhao Yi explained awkwardly.
"I see that after waiting for two years, you are ready to hand over the entire factory to your son and find a place to laze around."
Zhang Jing rolled her eyes at Zhao Yi.
"What are you talking about? What's mine is his. It would be great if you could learn how to manage it in advance."
Zhao Yi defended himself.
