Chapter 533 There is no free lunch in the world
Minister Wang was slightly moved. As far as he knew, the radio factory made tens of thousands of yuan in profit every month. The initial investment of six or seven hundred thousand yuan was equivalent to several years of income of the factory, plus one-tenth of the monthly profit, which was indeed a lot.
Don’t be greedy!
He said apologetically, "I think it's OK. Miss Chen, do you have any other requests?"
Chen Kexin said, "Since we are going to be a cooperative relationship in the future, it will be mutual. I will speak my mind. The radio factory is provided by the army, and I hope we can treat it equally."
There is really no such thing as a free lunch in this world!
Minister Wang said with deep eyes: "Please wait a moment, I will report to the leader."
A few minutes later, he came back with a smile and said, "The leader agreed. He said that our logistics and maintenance team is composed of more than a dozen retired soldiers. Let's see if we can let your construction team manage it. Their current yard is allocated to you as the construction team office. Even if you want to expand in the future, there is also space nearby. What do you think?"
Chen Kexin quickly realized that the maintenance team was not professional, but rather semi-professional, as more than a dozen people were trained by the army.
Besides, the maintenance team has been transferred to the construction team. If the troops have any engineering tasks in the future, it would be better to find them instead of outsiders.
This is a great thing!
Thinking of this, she said meaningfully: "We will be a family in the future. If the construction team is profitable, they will not forget the support behind them."
Minister Wang immediately understood and promised with a smile: "Miss Chen, what you said is very beautiful. We will definitely support the work of the construction team. If the army has any projects, of course we will hand them over to our own people."
This is just polite talk. In fact, the army is short of funds and there are basically no projects.
That's what I want him to say!
Chen Kexin smiled and nodded, saying, "It's a deal!"
“When will the agreement be signed?”
"Of course the sooner the better. The weather is getting warmer and construction is needed everywhere."
"Please Miss Chen, draw up an agreement and write down what we have agreed upon. I will sign it!"
"OK!"
Chen Kexin came to an empty table nearby and quickly wrote a separate agreement, which of course included the statement that the army's future projects would be handed over to the construction team. She drafted the agreement and handed it to the other party.
After reading it, Minister Wang's eyes stayed on the line of words for a moment. He looked calm and said nothing. He signed his name and stamped the official seal.
After the dust settled, Chen Kexin asked for a list of maintenance team members, took a quick look, and went to the maintenance team's yard.
He found that the yard was not small and there was a large open space outside. He immediately remembered a sentence in the agreement: the construction team will be expanded into an engineering team in the future, and the army will support this sentence to the best of its ability. He curled his lips quietly.
When I walked into the yard, I found that there were quite a few houses in the yard. Some of them were open and filled with broken things.
There were a mess of tools piled up in the corner of the yard.
Things like lime mixers, scaffolding, shovels, hoes, hammers, mud boards, etc.
These tools are very primitive and thrown randomly in the yard. Fortunately, this season is not the rainy season, otherwise those iron tools will definitely rust and be damaged after being exposed to the sun and rain.
It is obvious that managers do not take these tools seriously, which means that they are sloppy in their work.
At this time, she heard the sound of people playing poker out of boredom in the house.
Considering that there should be no maintenance tasks in this season, these people gather together to kill time after work every day.
She knocked gently on the door and called out, "Is anyone in the house?"
After a burst of chaotic noises, a man opened the door.
This was a tall man. When he saw a pretty girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old outside the door, his thick eyebrows knitted deeply and he asked in confusion, "Girl, who are you looking for?"
Chen Kexin saw that the man's expression was not one of contempt but just confusion, and she immediately understood in her mind - this man should just have a rough personality, but actually have good character.
She took out the agreement she had signed with Minister Wang and said, "Look everyone, you will all be my subordinates from now on. If you have any ideas, you can raise them. If you don't want to continue working, you can leave."
A dozen or so men looked at each other and then looked at the tall man.
It is obvious that the dozen or so people should follow this man's lead.
The tall man took the agreement, looked at it, and said solemnly: "We will follow the leader's arrangements!"
They are all demobilized soldiers. Due to various reasons, they cannot find jobs when they return to their hometowns, so their leaders keep them in the maintenance team to make a living.
If I leave the maintenance team, I can only go back to my hometown to farm. It is better to stay and work. At least I will have a salary.
Chen Kexin looked at the tall man in front of her and asked, "Are you the maintenance team leader Qu Jiang?"
"It's me!"
"You all?"
These men said their names, and Chen Kexin matched the names with the people on the roster.
Then, Chen Kexin said to Qu Jiang seriously, "I'm very busy and don't have time to take care of you. I found an assistant named Qiao Dawei. He still has one year to graduate and can't come often. Captain Qu will have to take care of the team's affairs in the future."
Qu Jiang said readily: "No problem!"
"I have work tasks in hand, and I hope everyone can get to work as soon as possible. You have all heard about the wages and benefits of the radio factory's employees. I am the factory director, Chen Kexin. As long as you work hard, I will not treat you unfairly. Captain Qu, follow me in a while."
Everyone was quite surprised. It turned out that this girl was the director of the radio factory?
Chen Kexin continued, "There is no free lunch in the world. Only by working hard can you get respect and compensation. The reason why the radio factory has high wages and good benefits is because the employees are working diligently."
The careless expressions of the dozen men suddenly changed, and they all said excitedly, "Director Chen, we will work hard..."
Chen Kexin noticed that there were no troublemakers among these people, and they were indeed trained in the army.
"I'll just wait and see!"
Chen Kexin said goodbye and left, bringing Qu Jiang to the courtyard. Pointing at the burned courtyard, she said, "Go to the brick factory and cement factory to place orders today. Tomorrow, take your men to clean up the courtyard, build a one-and-a-half-meter-high wall, and find some broken glass to inlay it."
As she spoke, she took out five hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it over, saying, "Keep a record of all the money you spend. When you have a job, I'll give everyone a free lunch at noon. Don't be afraid to spend money."
Then, he said seriously: "I hope you will work hard in the future and never be careless."
These words touched Qu Jiang's heart. In addition to being shocked, he wondered in his heart how the other party knew about his problem?
I secretly warned myself to be more careful in the future.
He vowed, "Don't worry, Director Chen, I will definitely do a good job."
Chen Kexin said seriously: "It's useless to say anything. I want to see your future work!"
"Yes!" Qu Jiang saluted with a standard military salute.
