Chapter 449 Going to the Suburbs of Beijing
On the first day of school vacation, Su Jiaojiao took Cai Ting to the suburbs of Beijing.
The new factory will not be closed for another week, and these past two days Ji Hong has been leading the employees in cleaning up the semi-finished products.
The first month of the lunar year is the off-season for clothing, and the new factory has not started accepting orders yet, so there is no rush to start production in the spring of next year.
Ding Linyu also started to sell off goods in Wudaokou. They were all small orders anyway, and there were not many left. She might not do it again next year, so she sold off the inventory at a lower profit and recovered the funds as soon as possible.
Cai Ting's driving skills are getting better and better, and she can take turns driving with Su Jiaojiao on the road. Another reason why Su Jiaojiao brought her out is to let her get familiar with fabric selection and procurement as soon as possible, and this matter will be handed over to Cai Ting in the future.
Su Jiaojiao can't do everything herself, no matter how big or small. If she does that, she will be exhausted.
On the way, Cai Ting was still complaining about Ji Hong, saying she had never met someone with such a slow temper: "She leaves at the appointed time and won't come into the workshop until the last minute. Then, when she does, she starts drinking water, holding a cup and drinking slowly in the workshop. After she's finished, she goes to the bathroom and disappears for a long time."
"But the workshop isn't messy even when she's not here, right?" Su Jiaojiao had observed that Ji Hong was relaxed because she knew how to use people.
There are two production lines in the workshop, with twelve or thirteen people working on each line. Ji Hong assigned four managers, a team leader, two deputy team leaders, and a quality inspector.
The team leader is responsible for commanding the entire production line, but she doesn't do nothing. When she has nothing to do, she cuts the thread ends at the front and checks the quality at the same time.
The two deputy squad leaders are also responsible for important processes on the production line. One of them is responsible for recording attendance and the other is responsible for discipline. The quality inspector is responsible for dealing with the cutting and packaging departments and taking charge of the work.
Everyone has clear responsibilities.
In the entire workshop, except for Cai Ting and Wang Xiaoyu who were not under Ji Hong's management, everyone else went to get off work and came home in an orderly manner under Ji Hong's leadership.
"It's not a mess, I just think she's too slow." Cai Ting continued to complain to Su Jiaojiao, "Wang Xiaoyu is in the sample group. She not only makes samples but also oversees quality control on both production lines. She barely even walks. She's busier than Ji Hong."
"I am responsible for running errands outside and am often not in the workshop. But every time I return to the workshop, I see Ji Hong sleeping in the office and snoring." Cai Ting really couldn't figure out Ji Hong's role in the workshop.
"Her role is to stabilize the company." Su Jiaojiao didn't mind Ji Hong sleeping in the office during working hours. "If she wasn't here, I wouldn't be able to transfer you out so easily. Don't forget, Ji Hong has more than ten years of management experience at Kyoto Garment Company. She's well-known for what she is. Even I have to learn from her."
In the future, she will also have to establish a complete management system to ensure that production and sales can continue to operate efficiently when she is away.
It would be terrible if this system could not function without her.
"You've done very well, what else do you need to learn?" Cai Ting has followed Su Jiaojiao all the way and witnessed her success. In her eyes, Su Jiaojiao is like an idol.
Although, she often complains about her idol.
"No way, people have to keep learning to make progress!" Su Jiaojiao didn't think she was doing very well. Her current achievements were entirely based on her experience and memory from her previous life, not her actual strength.
In a few years, her experience from her previous life will be used up, and she will have to figure things out on her own. This is when she needs strength.
The two chatted all the way and didn't feel the journey was long. The tunnel had not been opened yet, so they still took the same route as before.
By noon, they entered the county outside Beijing.
The suburban county of Beijing was more lively than the last time they came. There were towering cranes everywhere, and buildings were springing up like mushrooms after a rain. The billboards at the bus stops were covered with promotional pictures of developers.
The housing prices in the suburbs of Beijing have approached 3,000 yuan, nearly double what they were six months ago.
There were obviously more people on the streets, and it was bustling with activity, almost as much as in the city center.
It was as if the world here had changed overnight.
Cai Ting silently calculated the income from Su Jiaojiao's fourteen properties in the suburbs of Beijing. She was shocked when she did the math: "Jiaojiao, you didn't do anything in the past six months, and your assets increased by nearly a million?"
Although it is a fixed asset, it is not cash.
But it can be converted into cash at any time!
"Yes." Su Jiaojiao had anticipated this and said with a smile, "I'll be relying on these fourteen properties for my retirement."
There's no rush to sell these houses.
In another dozen years, when the business reaches its peak, she can start selling it out and then reap the benefits.
"If I had known, you should have bought a few more units." Cai Ting initially thought that Su Jiaojiao was generous in buying one unit, but now she thinks she bought too little.
"That's good. We can't be greedy." Su Jiaojiao said with a smile, "If I invest all my money here, where will you live?"
The income from real estate in the suburbs of Beijing is a long-term goal, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
What's more, one should not put all eggs in one basket. Her top priority now is to accumulate funds to prepare for the construction of a factory in the Beijing Suburban Industrial Park.
The new factory now is just a transition.
"That's true." Cai Ting nodded. She knew Su Jiaojiao was recently short on cash due to buying two apartments in Sunshine Classic, so she consoled her. "Yesterday I asked Ding Linyu, and she said the money on the books was enough to keep the new factory running, but she didn't see profits for the time being. I think it's a great achievement to be able to keep the new factory running. I believe we'll be able to get out of this slump soon."
"With you here, I have the confidence." Su Jiaojiao now needs a stable supplier to support her.
She and Fang Zeyang had a good working relationship, and now that Fang Zeyang had suffered a serious injury, she couldn't just ignore it.
She believed that as long as Fang Ji overcame this hurdle, it would be able to quickly restore its former glory.
Before I knew it, the car stopped in front of the gate of Fangji Factory No. 2.
Although she was mentally prepared, Su Jiaojiao was still shocked by the scene before her. The spacious and orderly factory of the past was gone, replaced by a burnt and dilapidated ruin.
There was a red cordon at the door, and there seemed to be a burning smell in the air.
"Oh my God, this is so scary." Cai Ting had been here with Su Jiaojiao before. It was hard to imagine that this was the Fangji No. 2 Factory where the machines were roaring before.
"They're really unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals..." Su Jiaojiao thought of Yu Mingjie's face and wanted to slap him a few times. She took out her phone and called Fang Zeyang, "Mr. Fang, I'm at the second factory. Where are you?"
"I'm at Factory 1, come over!" Fang Zeyang said in a low voice, "Zhang He, Yu Minghuai and Qi Heng are also here."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Su Jiaojiao thought about it and sent a text message to Qi Heng, saying that she was going to Fangji Factory No. 1.
Qi Heng replied quickly and said he was waiting for her downstairs.
