After the workers finished their shift, the office staff still needed to hold a meeting to discuss the issues. Those they could resolve would be addressed the next day, and those they couldn't would be reported to Zhao Huanhuan at the meeting, who would then try to find a solution.
Zhao Huanhuan is truly courageous; when she encounters a problem she doesn't understand, she visits her seniors after dinner.
Over the years, she has built up a network of connections. Hu Zhan's wife and daughter, Hu Keke, are the teachers she often consults when she encounters problems she doesn't understand.
This time, when she went to Hu Zhan's house, she heard that Uncle Hu and Aunt Wang would be retiring at the end of the year.
She was immediately excited and asked them directly if they would be willing to come and work at her factory after retirement, so she could hire them.
The two men never expected that Zhao Huanhuan would hire them, given their advanced age.
Zhao Huanhuan said that she is still a newcomer in the industry and there are some things she doesn't understand. Therefore, she wants to hire Aunt Wang as a technical consultant. She doesn't need to do any work; she just needs to guide the young people.
She also wanted to hire Uncle Hu as the deputy factory director.
The salary she offered was naturally one hundred yuan higher than their current factory wages.
The two men were somewhat tempted upon hearing this, after all, they were only in their fifties and would feel very uncomfortable suddenly having nothing to do.
After considering it for a day, the couple agreed.
Zhao Huanhuan immediately signed employment contracts with them.
They signed a contract to start at the beginning of next year.
With this contract in place, Aunt Wang often guides Zhao Huanhuan when she has questions, and she also comes to the factory on Sundays to check on things and tells Zhao Huanhuan if she sees any problems.
This made Zhao Huanhuan very happy.
Hu Keke once joked when she met Zhao Huanhuan that now, apart from herself, everyone in her family had become Huanhuan's employees.
Hu Keke's husband, Li Jinfeng, is now the equipment consultant for Zhao Huanhuan's factory.
He can't come to work in Anbao because of his job, but if Zhao Huanhuan has any questions or problems with the equipment that the mechanics can't solve, Li Jinfeng will come over on Sundays to provide guidance.
Of course, he also received a salary from Zhao Huanhuan's side.
Zhao Huanhuan smiled and said she looked forward to the day when Coco would join as well.
Unexpectedly, this prediction came true the following autumn.
After her mother retired, Hu Keke was ostracized and got into several arguments before being fired from the factory.
She realized she could go and seek refuge with Zhao Huanhuan, so she stopped being angry and went straight to find Zhao Huanhuan. Zhao Huanhuan was delighted to hear this.
But instead of letting her work at Anbao Factory, she had her learn clothing cutting and other related skills, saying that she was planning to start an Anbao Underwear Factory and would ask Coco to help her with that.
Upon hearing this, Hu Keke agreed and started looking for a study group to enjoy learning.
Zhao Huanhuan was waiting for the next opportunity, an opportunity to take over a bankrupt garment factory.
***
When Lin Yuan left home last time, he said he would be gone for three months, but half a year has passed and he still hasn't returned, nor has any news come from him.
Zhao Huanhuan asked Director Ding several times, and Director Ding said he would try to find out for her, but the reply was that he couldn't find out either, because Lin Yuan's identity and mission were kept secret, and they had no idea where he went.
Zhao Huanhuan knew he had gone south, but the south was vast and contained many countries. She had no idea whether he was in China or abroad.
Even though she was anxious, she couldn't go to the military headquarters to ask; she could only numb herself with her busy work.
The Zhao and Lin families spent New Year's Day together in 1987, but Lin Yuan did not return.
Their joy was greatly diminished, and the family spent the New Year in an ordinary way.
Zhao Huanhuan had been storing the fabrics produced in her factory before the Lunar New Year. It wasn't until December that she had the Second Garment Factory make her the first batch of goods, which she then sold in her two shops.
She tested the market with the first batch, not daring to produce too much. There were 500 sets of men's thermal underwear sets and 800 sets of women's thermal underwear sets. The colors were mainly achromatic woven patterned sets and solid five-color sets.
The five colors are: black, white, gray, pink, and red.
The styles are mainly high round neck, low round neck and V-neck.
Unexpectedly, in December, her store not only made the term "intimate underwear" a hot topic, but also sold out almost all of the 1,300 sets she produced.
Three months after Anbao Textile Factory started production, it suddenly became a hit.
One reason for their popularity is the New Year. Workers are on holiday and visiting relatives, and those who bought Anbao underwear always praise it when they talk about it with others.
Word-of-mouth advertising is the most effective form of advertising.
Zhao Huanhuan didn't spend a single penny on advertising, but because of one New Year, her Anbao Textile Factory became famous, and her Anbao brand also became a hit.
The factory workers were worried about Zhao Huanhuan, fearing that she wouldn't be able to pay their wages after not selling a single piece of clothing for several months.
However, Zhao Huanhuan always paid them their wages on time every month, and at the end of the year, she also gave each of them a small bucket of peanut oil as a bonus.
Of course, Zhao Huanhuan also used the money she earned from both stores, as well as the money she earned from designing clothes for others, to pay the workers' wages.
Unfortunately, the factory's working capital was tight before shipments began. However, after the store sold some underwear in December and received payment, the factory's funds suddenly increased. After deducting the money she had previously invested in the store, there was finally some savings in the company account.
The accountants are happy doing the books; they don't panic when there's money in the accounts!
The workers were very happy; they didn't regret joining Anbao Factory.
After the New Year, Hu Zhan and his wife also started working at Zhao Huanhuan's place.
