Chapter 1065: Wait for the layoff
Wang Yuehua has a strong sense of responsibility.
With the current economic downturn, it is difficult for factories to generate positive income.
If all else fails, we can only settle for the second best, temporarily give up considering profitability, and prioritize ensuring that the workers below have enough to eat.
If the factory can continue to operate, Wang Yuehua actually hopes to persevere to the end more than anyone else.
It is so hard to find a job nowadays. If the factory really goes bankrupt, what will the workers do?
Now, as long as we reach a consensus with Lu Miao, the cotton mill can send the materials for processing.
If the volume is large, those workers who are on paid leave at home may be called back to work.
This not only ensures workers' food and employment, but also helps the factory operate normally...
With Lu Miao coming over, Wang Yuehua actually felt a glimmer of hope.
After all, in many cases, whether a state-owned factory continues to operate or shuts down depends solely on a word from the Ministry of Finance.
Lu Miao is from the Ministry of Finance.
She must have certain advantages in policy resources and administrative procedures.
Now that she's willing to offer advice to the cotton mill, if they establish a connection with her, she might also be willing to help their garment factory in the future...
Thinking of this, Wang Yuehua expressed her opinion again:
"We have enough manpower here. When to start construction depends on Director Lu's decision."
"I will bring you news as soon as I get back today."
Lu Miao nodded lightly and stood up, and also explained to Wang Yuehua:
"In the big picture, internal unity should be prioritized. Once we get through this period, I will strive for more cooperation, and then all prices will follow the mainstream market."
This can be considered a guarantee.
Wang Yuehua perked up and stood up to see Lu Miao out.
When they reached the door, Wang Yuehua couldn't help but hold Lu Miao's hand with both hands, shaking it up and down, saying:
"Thank you for the trip, Director Lu! The price is easy to negotiate. If possible, I hope Director Lu can give us some advice on how to make our garment factory when he has some free time!"
Lu Miao could feel Wang Yuehua's sincerity and eagerness, and said with a faint smile:
"Yes."
Although she was busy with the cotton mill business.
But since it involves the garment factory, the development of the garment factory will naturally be taken into consideration.
If this matter is handled well in the end, it will be a win-win situation.
Moreover, Lu Miao is also ambitious.
She prioritizes internal cooperation and aims for a win-win situation.
"I'll come back in the next two days."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Lu Miao went downstairs and Wang Yuehua saw him off all the way.
Wang Yuehua didn't stop until Lu Miao got in the car. She stood by the road and waved.
The car drove away for a distance, and Lu Miao looked back. The man was still standing there looking out.
This is really...
Compared with the factory managers I contacted before, the difference in attitude is too obvious!
Lu Miao withdrew his gaze and sighed slightly.
The driver looked at her in the rearview mirror.
Yu Hong asked:
"Senior, what should we do next?"
Lu Miao said:
"To the cotton mill."
"yes."
The car started up slowly and headed towards the North Third Ring Road...
Lu Miao first asked Minister Zhan for a booth at the Canton Fair, and then negotiated the follow-up arrangements with the garment factory.
Only when I was completely confident did I talk to the cotton mill about resuming operations.
The deputy director of the cotton mill who had received her last time to check the public accounts had a good attitude, but the deputy director did not have absolute decision-making power, so he could only lead her to the director Wu Yong.
Speaking of Director Wu, Lu Miao really felt suffocated during the communication.
Since no bridge of trust was established in the early stage, it is understandable that the other party is suspicious of her.
But after she recounted the situation, indicating that the follow-up arrangements were ready and even the access to the Canton Fair had been opened, she was just waiting for a word from the factory director.
Director Wu continued to talk about other things:
"Our factory was eliminated by the market mainly because our production equipment is outdated and we can't produce the new fabrics and patterns on the market... In this case, even if we go to the Canton Fair, it will be useless. People who like new fabrics still won't buy them."
Lu Miao said, "You don't need to worry about anything else. I only ask you to do a good job in production and ensure the quality of standard products. I don't need you to try to catch up with those foreign-funded factories with the latest equipment."
I can't stand the other party's procrastination, and I don't want to continue the tug-of-war.
Lu Miao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he pointed at the key point on the desktop and gave two choices:
"You just need to give a clear answer now: do you want to reopen the factory, or do you just want to wait for the bankruptcy application to be approved?"
Normal people know how to choose.
As long as the factory is still there, not only will the workers' employment be guaranteed, but the factory director will also have a stable job.
Although Director Wu was afraid that Lu Miao's decision would be wrong and lead to increased debt for the factory, he thought carefully and realized that the bankruptcy application would not be so easy to approve.
Instead of waiting to be declared bankrupt, it is better to take a gamble.
After all, if I lose this job, it won't be easy to find another job that pays 100 or 200 yuan a month...
"I definitely want to run the factory well, but..."
Director Wu immediately expressed his opinion, but after saying just one word, he glanced at Lu Miao and began to sigh again.
Lu Miao saw this and a slight frown flashed across his brows:
"If there's anything you're struggling with, please let me know. I'll do my best to mediate."
"Forget about this matter. I'll just take you to see it in person!"
Director Wu stood up first, followed closely by Lu Miao.
So, in the cotton mill workshop.
After Director Wu briefly explained the situation and said that the factory might undergo reforms in the next period of time, he hoped that the workers would actively cooperate.
The scene of suffocation that Fu Jingyou had experienced personally was once again vividly played out in front of Lu Miao.
A young worker immediately stood up and loudly questioned:
"Reform? Reform again? How else are we going to reform? Are we going to mess with us again? We've messed with people before, and in the end, nothing was accomplished."
Others echoed:
"That's right, Director! Can you please stop messing around with useless stuff? All the modifications we make aren't even remotely as useful as a new dyeing machine. Why bother with all that effort? We work ourselves to death every day, and our wages aren't going up, so why should we even talk about cooperation? Just leave it at that!"
"that is!"
Lu Miao had already anticipated the internal problems of the state-owned factory.
But when he saw the workers challenging their superiors, especially the factory director, he felt an unprecedented shock.
Director Wu seemed to be afraid that these people would cause trouble.
Not only did he not show his authority, but he also kept trying to comfort and explain that "it's not like that, it's not like that" and so on.
The scene was in chaos, and Lu Miao sighed when he saw it.
Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Miao stepped forward and explained:
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me! This reform is different from the past. The factory won't increase your burden, it'll just make you...ah!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Miao felt a sudden chill on his back.
She should have kept silent before.
After she said this, everyone's attention shifted to her.
In the tie-dyeing workshop of the cotton mill, someone actually splashed dye on half of her body from behind!
"senior!"
“This, this…”
Yu Hong and Director Wu were both startled and quickly protected her behind them.
The crowd burst into laughter, all of them were there to watch the fun.
Some people even made jokes in a strange voice:
"Oh, who is so careless? Look, the leader's clothes are all dirty!"
Director Wu protected Lu Miao as she sorted out his clothes. He was filled with fear and anger, his heart nearly jumping out of his chest.
"Who did this? Did you do this properly?!"
How could Lu Miao not be angry when someone splashed something on him for no reason?
Lu Miao was furious!
This Director Wu looked like he was incapable of doing anything. Lu Miao pushed him and Yu Hong aside, walked up to the crowd, and glared at them coldly:
“Who did it?!”
There was only laughter in the crowd, and no one stood up to admit it.
Women seem to have a standard chain of contempt in the workplace.
For example, a young body and a pretty face.
Lu Miao has everything that can be considered as a backdoor.
These people seemed to have recognized this point, so even though they guessed that Lu Miao was a leader sent to inspect the factory, no one took her seriously.
Although Lu Miao was angry, he would not fall for these people's tricks and make a fool of himself by them.
You like to laugh, right?
It depends on whether you can still laugh next.
"No one admits it, right? Good!"
Turning around, Lu Miao took the file bag from Yu Hong's hand.
Pulling out the information from the file bag, Lu Miao held up the outermost page with the word "bankruptcy" in large font above his head and showed it to everyone.
"Your cotton mill is poorly managed and has already filed for bankruptcy. I came here to help you alleviate the situation, but I didn't expect this to happen! It seems you don't need help anymore!"
Lu Miao sneered, his voice cold and powerful:
"Okay, that's great too. Let's pack up and get ready to be laid off!"
"What?"
"Bankruptcy?"
"No way, how is that possible?"
As the issue of their jobs was involved, the workers at the cotton mill started to make a fuss again.
Some people didn't believe what Lu Miao said, and pulled over the people around them who could read to ask Lu Miao what he was holding in his hand.
Some people asked the factory manager directly:
"Director, hasn't our factory been doing well? How could it suddenly go bankrupt?"
"Yes, Director! What's going on? Why don't you say something?"
Factory Director Wu said, "Director Lu did come to help us, and what she said is true! Everyone knows that our factory's machines are inferior to others. We can't spin the same materials as others, nor can we print the same patterns as others. Most of the goods from the last batch are still piled up in the warehouse. The factory is really at the end of its rope..."
Everyone was stunned, and they slowly and blankly moved their eyes to look at the girl who had put away the documents but still had half of her body painted blue.
Only then did I gradually realize how serious the matter was...
If the knife doesn't pierce your body, you won't feel pain.
Now it comes to the issue of livelihood, and those who were laughing just now can no longer laugh.
Not only could no one laugh, no one even had the nerve to beg Lu Miao for anything.
