Chapter 262
Qi Hui nodded, "Yes, they're already waiting outside."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang smiled meaningfully, "You came at the right time."
As he spoke, Qin Xiang said to the people present, "Mr. Meng is here, it's a good time for us to have lunch together."
Among the twenty or so people present, seven or eight were students of Tsinghua University. They were very familiar with Meng Huaiqing. The school library was donated by him. They went there almost every day to study during their last year or so.
They had also heard of the legend of Meng Huaiqing and admired him very much.
Now, when Qin Xiang heard that Meng Huaiqing was coming to have dinner with them, he suddenly became excited, "Is it really Mr. Meng?"
Someone else laughed and said, "I never thought I'd have the honor of dining with Mr. Meng. This trip was worth it, it was worth it."
A girl wearing thick glasses said unhappily, "I think it was a worthwhile trip. I learned a lot and saw a different world."
"That's right, meeting Mr. Meng is just the icing on the cake at best."
Qin Xiang said happily, "Let's go. The food is ready in the cafeteria. Let's go over there."
A group of people came out of the office building and went directly to the cafeteria. The cafeteria also had large windows, which made it very bright inside. Two large round tables were already filled with food. After counting carefully, there were more than ten dishes on one table. The big white steamed buns were placed in a basket in the middle, and there was white rice next to it.
This standard is very high, and everyone has mixed feelings.
Meng Huaiqing had already arrived. Seeing them coming over, he came to greet them and said, "Come and sit down."
Qin Xiang went over and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
Meng Huaiqing laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to help you entertain the guests?"
Meng Huaiqing took a glass of water from the side and handed it to her, "Drink some water first."
Everyone was forced to eat dog food before they could even have their meal, and some of them felt choked.
We sat down at two tables and looked at so much food that we didn't know where to start.
Qin Xiang took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and said, "Eat, everyone, don't be polite, we don't have to be so particular, we just want to have a meal together."
Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing sat at one table to entertain the guests, while Mi Hongjun and Qi Hui sat at the other table.
No one was willing to waste food, and almost all the food on the table was eaten.
After dinner, they strolled around the factory again. Several students talked with Meng Huaiqing about the future development of China and benefited a lot from it.
Although no one directly said whether they would come to Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang could see that someone was moved.
After sending the person to the car and leaving, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Huaiqing held her hand and said, "Why, are you still worried? Why not just invite a few designers from Hong Kong City?"
Qin Xiang sighed, "People from Hong Kong are willing to come to the mainland to work?"
"Why not?" Meng Huaiqing used his own company as an example. "As long as the salary is high and the benefits are good, people will come. Look at Assistant Liu. He only goes home a few times a year, but he's still very motivated. It's because the salary is high enough."
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you think everyone is as wealthy as you?"
"You can too." Meng Huaiqing said, "Don't think I don't know that you bought more stocks in Gangcheng."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow and pretended to be surprised, "You discovered it."
"Of course." Meng Huaiqing laughed. "You are very good at choosing. Although the stocks you selected have risen slowly, they have continued to grow."
Qin Xiang laughed, "Of course."
The stocks she selected were all representative stocks that she remembered later. Their current growth is average and not noticeable in the bull market, but in mid-September, several companies will join forces and complete financing, and their stocks will soar, which will continue until the stock market plummets.
The stock market crash is global, and many industries, except for some relatively stable ones, cannot escape it.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and Qin Xiang also took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
She suddenly had an idea. "What do you think about asking the Chen family to take over these stocks?"
Meng Huaiqing looked at her carefully for a few times, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. "I found that we are a natural match. We do bad things together."
Qin Xiang was amused. "You think so too?"
"Of course." Meng Huaiqing smiled, "Let the Chen and Jiang families think they've gotten a great bargain. Let them acquire the company so they don't cause harm to others."
The two of them happily decided on how to do the bad thing and smiled at each other.
Qin Xiang asked, "How are the preparations going at your factory?"
"Let's go take a look together?"
The two of them went to the electronics factory across the road. The factory here was larger and all the necessary buildings were built at once.
Qin Xiang was extremely envious.
"Looks like I have to hurry up too. When will you start production?"
Meng Huaiqing looked at her and asked, "How about we go together?"
Qin Xiang retorted, "No, when the production starts, the county leaders will definitely come, as well as the radio station. By then, everyone will come to see you, so who will come to see me?"
"It seems you are prepared."
Qin Xiang nodded. "Of course, I plan to start production on July 16th. When the time comes, I'll ask Hao Jingjing to help contact a reporter from the national TV station to come and interview us. I'll also add a line to the advertisement: I want everyone in China to know that my 'Xianglian' brand has opened a factory."
Listening to her words and looking at her proud expression, Meng Huaiqing was a little stunned.
Many times he wondered what he loved about Qin Xiang. Was it her face? No, Qin Xiang was indeed dazzlingly beautiful, but there were many who were prettier than her. What moved him was this person, the look on her face when she was full of confidence in the future. It was the rare look on her face when she spoke of the future with such enthusiasm.
Every frown and smile is dazzlingly beautiful.
Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin, and Qin Xiang's beauty lies in her soul.
Meng Huaiqing suddenly stretched out his arms and put them around her. "Qin Xiang, it's a very good thing to be in love with you."
Qin Xiang's mind moved slightly.
Meng Huaiqing added, "Let's get married when you graduate."
Qin Xiang turned her head to look at him, and saw only passion. There was only little her in his eyes, and there was only little him in her eyes.
Meng Huaiqing looked at her seriously, waiting for her answer.
Qin Xiang's heart was moved, and he blurted out, "Okay."
In an instant, Meng Huaiqing felt that the sky in front of him was brighter, as if fireworks were blooming.
After living for nearly thirty years, he is undoubtedly the happiest at this moment.
If there weren't other people around, Meng Huaiqing would have kissed her.
He said regretfully, "Let's go back."
Meng Huaiqing's change was so rapid that Qin Xiang was a little slow to react. "So urgent?"
"Yes." Meng Huaiqing said, "Such a good day must be celebrated."
Qin Xiang: "..."
You said Meng Huaiqing pursues a sense of ceremony, so he proposed to me under such circumstances, and even discussed the wedding date in such a casual environment.
But even if he doesn't pursue a sense of ceremony, he is very concerned about various celebrations, and even the approximate wedding date they have agreed on must be celebrated.
Looking at his expectant eyes, Qin Xiang couldn't say no, "Okay."
The two got into Meng Huaiqing's car. Miao Sheng was very tactful and raised the tailgate, making the air in the back seat sticky.
Meng Huaiqing's kiss came suddenly, and Qin Xiang climbed onto his neck, welcoming the kiss.
Their lips and teeth were intertwined, and they were panting.
Fortunately, she knew that they were in a car and there was someone in the front, otherwise Qin Xiang had no doubt that this man would execute her on the spot.
When they arrived in the city, Miao Sheng asked, "Sir, are we going to the office or home?"
Meng Huaiqing said, "Go home."
Go home.
Qin Xiang was in a good mood as she thought about the words.
After returning home and getting out of the car, Qin Xiang glanced at something she shouldn't have looked at and couldn't help laughing.
Take a bath and play poker together.
It's almost a matter of course.
When young men and women are together, it seems that this is the best way to express their feelings.
After Meng Huaiqing had a vasectomy, he almost lost all self-control and began to do whatever he wanted.
It was already late when they got up, so they simply went to watch a movie and have some Western food.
Two days later, as Qin Xiang had been expecting, someone finally showed up.
Fei Qing, a girl wearing thick-lens glasses, said, "I've thought about it. Instead of serving tea and water to those people in the office, I might as well come to your side and be the director."
Fei Qing is a student at the Academy of Fine Arts and had hardly communicated with Qin Xiang before.
I was still a little surprised to hear her say that, but more of a pleasant surprise. "Have you thought it through?"
"I have already resigned and completed all the procedures." Fei Qing was afraid that she would not believe it, so she took out all the file information of her resignation and showed it to Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang was a little impressed. There were not many people who could make up their minds directly.
"Okay, I'll take you to complete the onboarding procedures. It's the 1st now, and the factory will start production in half a month. Before then, you can choose to work in the city or directly in the factory. The office staff there will be moving in gradually during this period."
Fei Qing asked, "What about Zhao Wenna?"
"Zhao Wenna is currently working as a designer in the city."
Fei Qing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go over and keep her company before the opening. We can discuss some issues."
Qin Xiang had no objection and took her to see Tan Xiu to go through the employment procedures. At that time, there was no need to pay insurance, so the employment procedures were relatively simple.
After completing the formalities and signing the employment contract, Fei Qing became Qin Xiang's employee.
Just as I took Fei Qing to Zhao Wenna's place, someone else came looking for me.
They were two boys who graduated from Tsinghua University. They had similar ideas and were unwilling to waste their best years serving tea and water to others at work.
However, they chose to go directly to the factory as they were very interested in the office there.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Then you can go over there. However, the individual rooms aren't finished yet, so you can only stay in the shared rooms for now. But I promise that you can stay in groups of two to four people per room for now. Once the cadre rooms are built, you can move in. You will be the first group to get office workstations, so you can choose whichever one you want."
The two were very happy.
Qin Xiang was very happy to have three more designers.
Qin Xiang specially asked Mi Hongjun to come back and take the two of them over to settle them down, and only then did she feel relieved.
Of course, it is not enough for the designers to come. They also need to be familiar with the style of the brand "Xianglian", some product brochures, and the popular fashions in Hong Kong must be learned. Now that the contract has been signed, it is time to get busy. In any case, they cannot be idle.
Upon learning that Qin Xiang had hired three designers, Meng Huaiqing specially bought gifts for her, saying it was a celebration.
Qin Xiang didn't understand what this had to do with him, but since he was happy, she just let him do what he wanted.
Designer Qin Xiang was recruited, and other workers, warehouse managers and even canteen chefs were all under the responsibility of Tan Xiulai.
The staff in other departments were easy to deal with. For example, Mi Hongjun was responsible for interviewing and recruiting the sales staff, and the staff in charge of production were designed by Tan Xiu himself because there were so many types of people involved.
It is worth mentioning that the production situation of today's garment factories is somewhat different from the complicated procedures of later generations. Qin Xiang's factory is still set up according to the configuration of the garment factory in Gangcheng. The first floor alone is full of machines.
It was also after the last restaurant visit that we finally decided to move some of the machines to the second floor, otherwise they would not be able to be used properly.
As a result, with only ten days left before the opening, problems arose on Tan Xiu's side. Several workers were unwilling to work and said they still wanted to go to state-owned enterprises.
As a result, he didn't want to pay the penalty and just cried and made a fuss in the office, wanting to cancel the contract.
Tan Xiu was soft-hearted and came to ask Qin Xiang's opinion.
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Since they want to leave, then let them go, but make the workers anxious. Tell them directly and clearly. If they want to regret it, do it now as soon as possible. Once production starts, if they want to breach the contract again, they will have to pay compensation and go to court. I am not short of money, and I am not afraid of trouble. If you want to come, just give it a try."
It's not so difficult for sewing workers in ordinary positions, but the staffing ratio for some positions requiring special skills is already small. Once someone suddenly resigns, it will affect production. Therefore, Qin Xiang requires workers to sign employment agreements individually for positions like these. You can resign, but you must submit a resignation application at least one month in advance. The factory will then recruit new people and provide free training and teaching. Otherwise, not only will the salary for that month be deducted, but you will also have to pay double compensation for one year's salary.
Such a treaty may seem harsh, but it can also restrain workers.
And the contract period is one year.
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, Tan Xiu felt a little guilty, "It's my fault for not doing their job well. And the process this worker is responsible for is a bit troublesome, I have to find someone as soon as possible."
Qin Xiang nodded. "If there's no one here in Yong'an County, go to the Third Garment Factory's family compound and look for those who are retired or unemployed. Explain clearly their salary, benefits, and other expenses."
After explaining this, Tan Xiu hurried to find someone.
The third garment factory has been shut down for several months. The workers protested several times, but ultimately the factory was unable to resume production.
When Tan Xiu went there, there were actually people who were willing to come. Not only the workers in this process wanted to come, but the workers in other workstations also wanted to come.
It is certainly a good thing to have a stable job, but now the Third Garment Factory can't even pay wages. It has not been open for several months. The job is broken and there is no food to eat. Who still cares about these things?
At the beginning, some retired people signed with Qin Xiang. At that time, many people were not optimistic about it, but now they are envious of it.
Tan Xiu also asked this when she went to recruit people.
Tan Xiu didn't say anything final, so she said, "Our factory will definitely expand in the future, and we will definitely come here to recruit people when the time comes."
The workers have been recruited, all the machines have been debugged, and all the fabrics brought in by the purchasing department have been piled up in the material warehouse for safekeeping. All the necessary items have been brought into the factory one after another.
Following the design department, the production department, purchasing department, human resources department and logistics department have successively started working in the office building.
As the factory director, Qin Xiang also travels between Yong'an and the capital every day.
In order to make it easier to travel back and forth, Qin Xiang bought a gasoline-powered tricycle and traveled back and forth with Zhao Ping every day.
Meng Huaiqing was quite dissatisfied with this and hoped that she could be given a car.
Qin Xiang didn't want to help, but she didn't expect Meng Huaiqing to do something new.
