Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Today’s update
Speaking of visiting the Huacai Garment Factory, Mao Cuimei was the happiest. She had long been curious about the Huacai Garment Factory that produced so many beautiful clothes.
“It’s just an ordinary social enterprise. Our factory was taken over from the hat factory run by the street. In recent years, we bought some yards around to expand a little, but not much. We just built a temple in a chicken shell.”
Shen Moer led a few people into the factory, talking as they walked.
Mao Cuimei looked around curiously.
The factory was indeed very ordinary, and the factory area was indeed not big. It should be the smallest among the factories they visited these days. After all, the scale was also the smallest.
But the factory building is different from ordinary factories. The walls outside the factory building are painted with colorful patterns, including girls walking gracefully in fashionable clothes, handsome young men in suits, and many cute little animals.
At first glance, this is not a factory building, it feels more like entering a theater troupe.
The factory area is not big, although there are sparrows, small and dirty, each area is clearly separated and managed in an orderly manner.
They even went to the staff cafeteria to see that the cafeteria chef was preparing food. When he saw the factory director and a group of people coming in, he washed his hands leisurely, and then briefly introduced everyone to the dinner.
One meat, two vegetarian dishes and a free soup. Steamed buns and rice are free. You cannot take them out, but you can eat as much as you want.
Some workers from poor families, in order to save money on food, usually order a vegetarian dish and a soup to eat a full meal. After all, one steamed bun or a bowl of rice is not enough to fill you up.
You can always eat more steamed buns and a few bowls of rice to fill you up.
"It's better than our school!" Mao Cuimei whispered to Shen Moli, "It's great that steamed buns and rice are free! There is a senior in our department whose family is not well off, and he saved up almost all of his subsidies to send back home. He is nearly 1.8 meters tall, but he only eats one steamed bun for every meal and is as thin as a bamboo pole. If the steamed buns and rice in school were also free, he wouldn't have to go hungry every day."
Cui Jianzhong turned his head to look at Mao Cuimei, and said in his usual sarcastic tone: "I didn't expect you, a little girl, to be so kind."
Mao Cuimei wanted to say something like I didn't expect I was so kind, but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words back.
In fact, she was still very scared most of the time.
Cui Jianzhong just said it casually. After a few days of getting along, he had actually seen the personalities of the two girls. Mao Cuimei is a kind-hearted girl, but she is too naive and easily deceived.
However, domestic university graduates are guaranteed jobs after graduation, and for someone like her, it is not so bad to go to work in a unit after graduation.
As for Shen Moli, Cui
Jianzhong was actually a little surprised. This girl is amazing.
Take this garment factory for example. It is a little small in scale, but the management is very standardized, and all the systems are very clear. The whole factory looks well organized. Compared with the several state-owned factories they have visited before, apart from the scale, other aspects are actually better.
Even if she was able to become the factory director at such a young age because of her family background, she is very capable to be able to manage the factory like this.
"Do you know why that guy surnamed Gao kept trying to flatter me last time?" Cui Jianzhong suddenly asked.
Surname Gao?
Gao Yong from the Capital No. 5 Garment Factory?
Shen Moer: "Why? Isn't he trying to attract investment?"
Cui Jianzhong shook his head: "Investment is part of the reason, and part of the reason is that he wants the equipment I have."
At this point, the old man looked a little proud: "I have a batch of garment equipment from Country D. With this batch of equipment, the production efficiency can be at least doubled compared to the crappy ones you have now."
Doubled production efficiency, rounded to twice as many workers... Then she wouldn't have to worry about the factory area not being able to expand, and even if she hired more workers, there wouldn't be enough spacious space and sewing machines.
This batch of equipment is really suitable for her.
Shen Moer pretended not to hear the words "crooked melons and cracked dates" and asked with a smile: "So you are going to sell this batch of equipment to me?"
Cui Jianzhong was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He almost jumped up, with a face full of "what nonsense are you talking about": "Why should I sell it to you? There are many people who want this batch of equipment from me. Besides, can you afford my equipment with such a small workshop?"
Shen Moer said righteously: "If you don't want to sell it, why don't you let me take you to the garment factory today?"
Cui Jianzhong said stubbornly: "I just see you bragging all day long, so I want to come and see and expose your lies on the spot. Look, with such a small scale, you still have the nerve to say that it is one of the most famous garment factories in the capital. I, an old man, am afraid of you. You blush."
Shen Moer is now almost immune to the "poisonous tongue" of this stubborn old man, and she calmly asked back: "You are in the clothing industry yourself, and you got this batch of equipment for your own factory, right?"
She thought for a while and guessed: "Your factory may not need so many, so you are going to sell some of it. You must have told the people in the inspection team about this, otherwise the news would not have reached Gao Yong."
She continued to smile: "You are going to sell it anyway, it is better to sell it to someone familiar than to a new one, wouldn't it be nice to sell it to me?"
Cui Jianzhong, whose thoughts were exposed, glared at Shen Moer fiercely, and simply gave up: "Why sell it, I want to use the equipment to invest!"
This meant he agreed.
Shen Moer immediately laughed: "I would like you to invest, but our factory is a social enterprise. The initial capital was approved by the commune and paid by me personally. Our accounts are a bit messy and we can't sort them out for a while, so we can't accept investment."
In fact, at that time, there were already many social enterprises and street factories that were "selling dog meat under the guise of sheep".
That is, on the surface, they were collective industries, but in fact they were privately funded enterprises.
Although Huacai Garment Factory was not exactly the same, if you counted it strictly, the factory owed Shen Moer a lot of money.
If the factory does not expand in the future, this debt can be repaid slowly, but Shen Moer is ready to wait for the day when Liu Yinshuang said that private individuals can freely operate factories, and then she will buy out the part invested by the commune.
She is going to run Huacai herself, so it doesn't matter if she advances a little more capital, but if it is a joint venture, it will not be that simple.
Cui Jianzhong: "..."
turned around and left: "Forget it."
How could the duck in the mouth fly away like that? Shen Moer hurriedly chased after him and said, "Although Huacai cannot accept joint ventures, we can also have other ways of cooperation. Have you heard of Lingjiang Embroidery Factory? I also set up that factory, and even many of their embroidery patterns are my personal contribution. Your clothing factory is high-end, right? Sell the equipment to me, and I will train a few embroiderers for you free of charge. What do you think?"
In order to fight for the equipment, Shen Moer didn't mind bragging.
Cui Jianzhong was surprised and stopped: "The one originally called the Second Branch of the Southern Province Embroidery Factory?"
He was in the clothing industry, so he was naturally more interested in fabrics and clothing. Cui Jianzhong had really paid attention to the Second Branch of the Southern Province Embroidery Factory, which had attracted many fans at the Canton Fair.
He looked Shen Moer up and down and couldn't help shaking his head: "Impossible."
Cui Jianzhong knew that the Chinese government attached great importance to export and foreign exchange earnings. How could such a company with such high foreign exchange earnings be run by Shen Moer? How old was she at that time?
Shen Moer: "You can ask the reception team to check it out."
There was no need to check. Looking at Shen Moer's expression, you could tell that she was not lying. Besides, it was easy to investigate such things.
Cui Jianzhong frowned slightly: "I'll think about it."
He said he would think about it. The next day, Shen Moer received a contract that Cui Jianzhong had already signed. At that time, she had just sent Cui Jianzhong to the car heading to the Capital Airport. The car had just gone away and disappeared on the busy streets.
Shen Moer didn't know whether to laugh or cry when holding the contract.
This little old man.
On the other side, Cui Jianzhong in the car looked sideways at the endless stream of people on the street outside the window and sighed softly.
"Is there any news from your sister?" Cui Jianzhong asked Su Jingnian on the other side of the car.
Su Jingnian's face was slightly gloomy, and his voice was a little low: "The man from Sichuan Province has been found, but he went to Sichuan Province because he got separated from the main force. According to him, the others should have gone to Southern Province. No useful clues have been found in Southern Province for the time being."
There was obviously hope, but it came to an abrupt end when people were most looking forward to it.
This feeling is more painful than having no hope in the first place.
Cui Jianzhong patted Su Jingnian on the shoulder: "It's not a complete loss. At least we know that the person should be in Southern Province. Look for him more in Southern Province."
Unlike him, the clues have been completely cut off.
Su Jingnian nodded, and could only comfort himself in this way.
Cui Jianzhong murmured: "Southern Province, Southern Province..."
He always felt that he seemed to have heard of Southern Province somewhere recently, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.
The car suddenly jolted, and the driver slammed on the brakes. He waited until the person who was crossing the road in front of him passed by before he continued to drive slowly while cursing in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, he would have to lean out of the window and give that person a good scolding.
The people in the car are all overseas businessmen who have returned from abroad, so they have to pay attention to their quality and image.
Cui Jianzhong was jolted by the car, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered.
Yes, it was Shen Moer who said it.
Huacai Garment Factory is a social enterprise, and it is not a social enterprise in the capital, but a commune in a small county town under the Southern Province.
Because she is from the Southern Province, when she came to the capital, she also opened a social enterprise in the capital.
Cui Jianzhong couldn't help but think of the similarities between Shen Moer and Su Jingnian.
Cui Jianzhong suddenly asked Su Jingnian: "There are two female college students in my group, one of whom is called Shen Moer. Have you noticed her?"
He had heard that Su Jingnian already had clues, so he didn't take it seriously.
Now that he thinks about it, it seems a bit coincidental.
In the absence of clues, this is also a clue.
Su Jingnian looked at Cui Jianzhong in confusion and asked curiously: "Shen Moer?"
