Chapter 303 A gentleman’s word is as good as his bond!
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, “Well, it’s a gift of warmth!”
Director Zhou didn’t understand what Tong Xiayue said. As she wished, the Baiyun Garment Factory was completely closed, and he was defeated!
“Girl, don’t keep me in suspense. I’m not in the mood to play guessing games with you guys!”
Tong Xiayue: “Director Zhou, are you unable to settle the workers’ wages now? The factory is going to go bankrupt because there are no other orders coming in?”
Tong Xiayue’s words hit the nail on the head, causing Director Zhou’s heart to ache...
Director Zhou: “To be honest, the factory really can’t continue to operate. There are still some workers who are... "I have been with you for a long time, but I cannot pay you enough... What can I do?"
Xu Duoduo and Jiang Jie came here today to encourage Tong Xiayue's courage. Tong Xiayue had already told them her thoughts on the way. Although everyone thought it was unnecessary for her to do so, everyone knew that she was a brave person and her judgment had never been wrong. They could only bite the bullet and follow her!
Tong Xiayue: "I overheard something some time ago, and now I think you should be interested."
Her words whetted the appetite of Director Zhou, and Director Fang of the workshop on the side also became interested: "Girl, what are you talking about?"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "This notice should be announced in the next two days. Beijing City is going to hold an industry competition soon. All walks of life can participate. Your clothing factory can naturally participate as well. Are you interested?"
Director Zhou was speechless when he heard Tong Xiayue's words. The factory was in such a state, why would it still participate in the competition?
Participating in a competition costs money everywhere. They can't even pay the workers' wages now...
Director Zhou sighed: "Girl, do you know the current situation of our factory? We can't afford a competition at all!"
This news was heard by Xu Duoduo and Tong Xiayue. At that time, the two of them took their three children to Gu's house to play and happened to meet guests at home. They heard it.
Afterwards, the two discussed with Director He and wanted to let the second clothing factory participate in the competition, but their current equipment and technology did not meet the level of participating in the competition, so they had to give up.
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "I have learned about your factory. Your sewing machines are all the latest batches, and you have female workers who can embroider. It's a pity for such a factory to go bankrupt. Director Zhou, are you interested in this competition?" Director Zhou
smiled and said, "Of course we are interested. What exactly is this competition about?"
Xu Duoduo smiled and said, "The winning works of this competition will be given to foreigners as national gifts! Think about the scale of this competition!"
Tong Xiayue added, "As long as we can stand out in this competition, are you still worried that the factory will not be able to be saved?"
National gift?!
What a great honor!
Director Fang, who was standing by, was excited after hearing what they said: "That's great! Our factory just has no money, otherwise our technology is really the best in Beijing! The embroidery is unique in Beijing! The female workers are all from Suzhou, and their skills are amazing!"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said: "Well, but there is one thing, you can't participate in the competition with just one factory. They have requirements for the scale of the factory. So, if you want to participate, you must cooperate with the second clothing factory."
Hearing this, Director Zhou and Director Fang looked at each other.
The second clothing factory?
Doesn't this girl know that the two factories have been at odds for a long time?
Director Zhou sighed, "Miss, you should have heard Director He talk about the relationship between our two factories, right? How could they take us with them?"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "That depends on Director Zhou's ability! It's not easy to ask others to do things, but if you want to save your factory, this is the only way."
Director Fang interrupted, "Miss, even if Director He agrees that we can go together, won't our factory still not be able to start up without money? I'm not afraid of you laughing at us, but we can't even pay the workers this month's wages..."
Tong Xiayue looked up at Director Zhou and said lightly, "This is what I want to talk to you about today."
Director Zhou and Director Fang didn't understand and could only wait for her to continue speaking.
Tong Xiayue: "I can sponsor your competition this time, that is, I will give you the starting funds. Let's sign a contract privately, and I will invest in your competition expenses this time."
After hearing Tong Xiayue's words, Director Zhou suddenly stood up, his eyes widened in surprise, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say!
Director Fang on the side was surprised, but fortunately he was calm. He looked at Tong Xiayue and asked in confusion: "Girl, this is not a joke, are you serious? This will cost a lot of money!"
If you want to sponsor them to participate in the competition, at least you have to let their clothing factory run smoothly, this is not a small amount!
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"
Director Zhou slowly came to his senses and looked at the three young girls. He didn't believe that there was such a thing as repaying evil with kindness in the world. He didn't do anything good in his daily life, and it was even more impossible for such a good thing to happen to him...
Director Zhou: "Girls, what we did before was not very upright. Why are you helping us now? I have lived for most of my life, I really can't believe there is such a good thing in the world!"
Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "Director Zhou, I'll be honest with you, you have also seen the clothing here. The policy has not been allowed in the past two years. When the policy is relaxed, we want to expand, but the factories that can be trusted cannot be relied on by Director He alone."
After hearing this, Director Zhou understood what she meant. This was to raise soldiers for them!
Tong Xiayue picked up the teacup on the table and drank a sip of water and continued, "To be honest, I can also choose other factories, but Director Zhou, you are a smart man, I don't need to tell you the reason, right?" If you
don't understand it after hearing this, you are really stupid!
This is to let Baiyun Garment Factory accept her favor, and when there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, Director Zhou and others will naturally bow and do their best!
Factory Director Zhou looked at Tong Xiayue with approval and nodded, "Good! Girl! You have courage!"
As an old man who had been in the society for many years, it was really admirable to hear a young girl say these words without blushing or breathing heavily. This courage, this courage, this boldness, this determination is not something that ordinary people can handle.
Just now, he was still worried about the future of the factory, but now his worries were thrown away by Tong Xiayue's proposal!
Director Zhou walked up to Tong Xiayue and said, "Girl, let's do as you say. I will negotiate with Director He and will definitely get their consent. We will also prepare well for the competition. We will definitely refer to any good suggestions you have! As for your future plans, don't worry. As long as we can be of use to you, we will do our best to help you!"
Tong Xiayue knew that they would definitely agree to such a good thing. As long as they agreed, she would have a way to help them win the competition!
Even if it is just to do our part for the country!
Keep a glimmer of hope for the country's light industry. No matter what will happen in the future, at least let them have better development opportunities now.
