Chapter 443: The Turn of Times
End of October, Changbei Machinery Factory, factory director’s office.
Wang Qinshan stood in front of the window, looking blankly at the prosperous factory outside, and suddenly felt that he was a miserable man.
As the head of a factory, he worked diligently for the interests of all the employees in the factory and finally found an opportunity to turn the tables and win the battle. However, after sounding the charge, he suddenly found that he seemed to be preparing to die with his brothers.
Just two months ago, the newly established Changnan Trading Company took over the sales task of Changbei Machinery Factory and successfully signed the order.
However, Director Wang bought the raw materials, mobilized for production, and the workers produced the products with great enthusiasm, but the goods could not be shipped out.
"Duoduoduo~"
There was a knock on the office door, and before Director Wang could give permission, the person outside pushed the door open.
Deputy Director Jiao, who was in charge of production management, walked in with an anxious look on his face.
"Director, our warehouse is full. We can't store all the products we produced today. Do you think we should suspend production?"
Director Wang walked slowly behind his desk and sat steadily on the chair before he said, "We can't stop production. If we stop now, the workers will lose their enthusiasm. You can take people to tidy up the playground and store the products in the open air for a few days."
"Store it outdoors?" Director Jiao said worriedly, "There is dew at this time of year. If we store it outdoors, it might rust."
"How could it rust?" Director Wang said unhappily, "Put a tarpaulin on the bottom and cover it tightly. It won't rust no matter how long you leave it. Besides, it will only be a few days before our goods are shipped out."
"Okay then! I'll arrange for someone to clean up the playground, but..."
Deputy Director Jiao had already turned around to leave, but he turned back and said, "Director, if we don't produce these raw materials, we can easily exchange them for money. But if we can't sell the sewing machines we produce, then..."
Director Wang, who had been as calm as a rock just now, suddenly became irritable.
“What’s not selling? Why isn’t it selling?
Our new products use advanced overseas technology and are far ahead of similar products. Now I am just taking the opportunity to raise the price and make more profits for the factory. Why are you so anxious? "
“.”
Lao Jiao was scolded by Director Wang for a long time. He wanted to refute him, but he sighed, nodded and walked out the door.
He has worked in the factory for decades. Is it possible that he cannot tell whether the products are being stockpiled and the price is being raised, or whether they are being unsold and unsalable?
"Old Jiao."
Director Wang suddenly shouted, and Deputy Director Jiao stopped and turned around.
"Next time you come in, remember to knock on the door."
“.”
Deputy Director Jiao's eyes, which had just shown some expectation, dimmed again.
He knocked on the door before coming in, but he came in before Director Wang shouted "Come in", so he understood what Director Wang meant.
But the special brew is urgent, and you are still emphasizing the authority of a factory director. Don’t you think it’s putting the cart before the horse?
"I understand, Director, but today is the 31st and the workers are asking me whether they will get their wages. How should I answer them?"
“.”
The factory director's office suddenly became quiet.
The sharp scolding that Deputy Director Jiao expected did not happen. Director Wang was like a loud speaker that suddenly lost its power and became completely silent.
After a long while, Director Wang finally said, "We have been through more difficult times than this before, so why can't we wait a few more days?"
"Gather all the backbones of production and ask them to carry forward their spirits, play a good leading role, and lead the workers to persevere."
“.”
Deputy Director Jiao looked at Director Wang who once again used the magic weapon of "spirit" and could not help shaking his head. He left without waiting for Director Wang to finish his words.
If it were in the past, as long as someone took the lead and promoted the spirit, everyone might be able to persevere together.
But after the joint venture, everyone has become accustomed to the on-time payment of salaries and bonuses. Not only are you delaying it from the middle of the month to the end of the month, but you are also thinking of delaying it to next month?
You are kidding me!
Haven't we had enough of the hard times? Do you want us to go back to the hard and difficult times before?
Look at the workers on the other side of the fence who are from Hong Kong. Who can you fool with this trick?
Director Wang actually knows that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and he also knows that today's workers may not be very obedient, which is why he has been trying to "correct the work style."
Once this atmosphere becomes chaotic, it will be difficult to lead the team.
So after Deputy Director Jiao left, he immediately called Changnan Trading Company.
"Hello, Zhu Caide, how is your contact going? Did Shancheng remit us the money today?"
"Director, it seems like he's not doing well."
Zhu Caide, the manager of Changnan Trading Company, said hesitantly, "They said our products are expensive and outdated, and they want to return them."
"What? Return the goods?" Factory Director Wang shouted angrily, "The goods have been sent out for a month or two, and they want to return them now?
How did you get those connections? Did all those IOUs go to waste? I don't care, you have to make them accept the goods and pay them a penny, otherwise I will sue them in court."
“.”
"Director, if you tell them that, they will be even less likely to pay. I finally agreed with them that they would transfer the money if I gave them a few more points, but you said you would pay the day before yesterday, and I still haven't received it!"
Zhu Caide was scolded and felt a little aggrieved, so his words sounded somewhat resentful.
That means it's all your fault, Wang Qinshan, otherwise the money would have been returned long ago.
But as soon as Zhu Caide finished speaking, Wang Qinshan shouted angrily: "How dare you ask me for money? Your company has been pouring money into it since the beginning. It's like a bottomless black hole.
All the signed contracts have become worthless. Whose pocket did all the money go into? How much did you pocket yourself? "
"Now bring all the funds from the trading company to the factory immediately and pay the workers first. I will settle the rest of the bill with you later."
“.”
“Beep, beep, beep~”
The call was suddenly hung up.
Director Wang was stunned for a long time, and his resolute face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"How dare you hang up on me? How dare you? If you dare to follow the example of Dazazi's father, I will tear you apart alive."
Director Wang redialed the number while swearing nervously.
Just last year, Dachazi's father embezzled more than 70,000 yuan from the factory and ran away with his sister-in-law, almost causing the Changbei Machinery Factory to shut down.
If Zhu Caide does the same thing this time.
I don’t know whether the Changbei Machinery Factory will shut down, but Director Wang will definitely shut it down.
Because Changnan Trading Company was established by Zhu Caide at the instigation of Director Wang. Although he is dedicated to the public, who can tell when the time comes?
But what you fear will come true. Director Wang kept calling, but no one answered Zhu Caide's phone.
Zhu Caide suddenly panicked.
After decades of ups and downs, this was the first time he felt so panicked.
After a long time, Director Wang gritted his teeth and dialed an extension of the factory.
This is the extension number of Hong Kong manager Guo Tianyong.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Manager Guo, I'm Lao Wang. Today is the day for the factory workers to get their wages. However, because the factory needs to produce at full capacity, there is a small problem with the turnover of funds. Please transfer 100,000 yuan immediately."
“.”
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Guo Tianyong spoke in a Hong Kong accent: "Director Wang, I don't remember what money the Hong Kong side owes you, and because you violated our cooperation regulations, we haven't received any share of the factory's profits for two months."
"Don't tell me this for now," Wang Qinshan tried to calm his voice and said in a deep voice, "If we don't pay the salary today, something might go wrong. If something goes wrong, it won't be good for anyone."
“.”
“Beep, beep, beep~”
The phone was hung up, and when Wang Qinshan called again, the line was busy.
Wang Qinshan sat in silence for a long time before he picked up the phone again and dialed a number.
"Hello, Manager Tian, I'm Lao Wang from Changbei Machinery Factory! How are you doing recently? Haha, our factory has just produced a batch of new products with first-class performance and reasonable price.
We still follow the old rules, you bring the payment to pick up the goods, and I will give you a wholesale discount price."
“Beep, beep, beep~”
Tian Hongshan didn't say a word to Wang Qinshan and just hung up the phone.
A few months ago, Wang Qinshan suddenly broke off the agency cooperation with Jingxin Trading Company. Now he remembered Tian Hongshan's kindness. Will he be able to serve him?
Is Tian Hongshan a person who repays evil with kindness?
"Pah~"
Director Wang slammed the phone.
He didn't think that it was a matter of course and that he would suffer the consequences of his own actions. He thought that Tian Hongshan was a villain who had succeeded.
After all, in the past, Tian Hongshan always called him Director Wang and Big Brother Wang, and allowed himself to be bullied respectfully. But things have changed, and now that grandson dares to bully him.
"Duoduoduo~"
There was a knock on the office door, and then it was pushed open without waiting for Wang Qinshan's consent.
"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to knock?"
“.”
Director Wang was only halfway angry when he was stunned.
Then his hands couldn't help but tremble.
