"No, I guess it's that bastard Jiang Huanyu cursing me," Shen Mingzhi said with a smile.
Manager Su came over for an inspection and saw Shen Mingzhi also picking out baby clothes. He quickly walked over and said with a big smile, "Happy New Year! Are you here to pick out clothes for your child?"
"Well, Manager Gao doesn't have any children's clothes, so I came here to take a look," Shen Mingzhi said with a smile.
Manager Su extended his hand to Jiang Shaozhen, who immediately grasped it, saying, "Happy New Year."
"Shao Chen's wife is very capable. I originally thought that with a good sales plan, many people would come, but I didn't expect so many, and so many every day. Fortunately, I listened to her and took a lot more of all kinds of goods, otherwise we wouldn't have enough." Manager Su was overjoyed.
Thinking about it, Xia Lei really has no brains.
However, he looked down on Shen Mingzhi from the beginning, only regarding her as someone who could come up with some cosmetic formulas.
They didn't even believe that the money Li An Pharmacy made was due to her efforts.
They must be kicking themselves now.
“She’s always been smart,” Jiang Shaozhen said with a smile.
"Your Jiang family really does have the guts of soldiers. Let her do whatever she wants. If my wife did that, I would have carried her home long ago," Manager Su said with a smile.
Shen Mingzhi silently chose clothes for the child.
Actually, I bought the clothes a while ago, but Shen Mingzhi was so happy today.
When Jiang Huanyu got out of the car with a pale face, Shen Mingzhi was overjoyed.
...
Three days before Lunar New Year's Eve, Shen Mingzhi was at the factory reconciling accounts.
At 2 p.m., the workers were all waiting to receive their wages for the Chinese New Year.
The accountant was so engrossed in using the calculator that sparks flew. At 2:30, the accountant finally finished calculating the accounts for the second half of the year.
"Besides repaying the first batch of loans that came due, we still have 500,000 yuan in cash in our account!" The accountant said to Shen Mingzhi, her eyes shining as she held up the ledger.
"When is the first installment of the loan due next year?" Shen Mingzhi asked him.
“Mid-March,” the accountant replied.
Shen Mingzhi nodded and said to Director Sun next to her, "Tell them to go to the workshop and wait for a while. I'll go to the bank to withdraw the money. All wages and bonuses will be paid out before the New Year's Eve dinner!"
Factory Director Sun, holding a cup, strode to the door and said loudly, "Go clean the workshop first. Deputy Factory Director Shen will go get the money. We'll pay your wages and bonuses when we get back."
The workers craning their necks to watch at the door were overjoyed.
The one with the broom threw it into the air.
When Jiang Shaozhen came in, he was almost hit by a broom from a young man.
He stepped aside.
The young man was terrified and scurried back to the workshop with a broom in his hand.
Jiang Shaozhen arrived at Shen Mingzhi's office, greeted Director Sun, and found a seat to sit down.
Shen Mingzhi took out a cloth bag containing money from the cabinet, glanced at Jiang Shaozhen, and said to Factory Director Sun, "The 500,000 yuan worth of goods we rushed to finish before the New Year have all been sold. The net profit is 200,000 yuan, and the loan due in mid-March next year is only 50,000 yuan, so there's no need to rush."
"Two hundred thousand in profit alone?" Factory Director Sun's tone was full of surprise. After a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Next year, the entire factory will be handed over to you, and I'll just help you out."
"It should be similar to this year's," Shen Mingzhi said.
"And also, do you know how much the distributors and department stores sold during the entire Spring Festival?" Shen Mingzhi asked with a smile.
Factory Director Sun's eyes widened. "How much?"
"It adds up to almost three million," Shen Mingzhi said.
Factory Director Sun had never seen so much money in his life. He was immediately dizzy and muttered to himself, "Three million... net profit?"
“Mm,” Shen Mingzhi replied.
However, this is Beijing, a city with strong purchasing power, so this is quite normal.
"Aren't Manager Su and Manager Gao grinning from ear to ear?" Factory Director Sun was very envious. He wished his factory could earn this much in one Spring Festival.
"Yes, I signed a new contract with them, but I'll let you know in the New Year," Shen Mingzhi said with a smile.
"I heard that Jiang Huanyu and Xia Lei's department store made over 100,000 yuan this Spring Festival, even including costs," said Factory Manager Sun. He had been called to a restaurant by Jiang Huanyu's father yesterday to discuss this issue.
He felt that Shen Mingzhi was targeting Jiang Huanyu too much.
Behind Jiang Huanyu's department store is his factory, which employs thousands of people who are all waiting for their New Year's bonuses.
Because of Shen Mingzhi's actions, none of the workers had money to celebrate the New Year.
“What does that have to do with me? The business world is like a battlefield. When he treated Baoli like that and smeared Baoli’s reputation, he should have thought this day would come,” Shen Mingzhi said.
And it will be even more brutal in the future, so you can't stand it now?
“Comrade Jiang’s factory has over a thousand employees. If we wipe them out like this, they won’t be able to have a good New Year.” Factory Director Sun was persuaded yesterday.
After all, he was in charge of a factory, so he knew very well that the people working at the bottom had the hardest time.
Everyone is looking forward to receiving money during the Lunar New Year... so they can go home and have a good holiday.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhi's face turned cold. She folded the cloth bag neatly and said coldly to Director Sun, "I still maintain that the business world is like a battlefield. When Comrade Jiang's factory goes out of business and he comes to me, I will consider taking in his workers."
Before Factory Director Sun could speak, Shen Mingzhi interrupted, "Also, next time he comes to you, tell him that Jiang Huanyu was the one who acted unethically first. Are his workers human beings, or are our factory's workers not? He bribed Chen Xiao, causing us to lose 100,000 yuan worth of goods, which we only managed to sell during the Spring Festival this year!"
Shen Mingzhi used to make her way in the business world.
She wasn't as soft-hearted as Director Sun.
If workers can't make money there, they can come to Baoli; Baoli has plenty of money to expand its factory.
Upon hearing this, Director Sun sighed, "Sometimes you're very soft-hearted, and sometimes you're extremely cold."
“Let me tell you, our factory has paid so much profit this year, so next year the higher-ups will definitely be watching us the most closely. We have to compete, compete for first place in Beijing, understand? Don’t be soft on me! If the workers can’t make it here, they can come to our factory and it’ll be the same. Jiang Huanyu, and old comrade Jiang, if you’re not capable, just retire!” After Shen Mingzhi finished speaking, she gestured for Jiang Shaozhen to leave.
Jiang Shao-chen listened to the whole thing, but just smiled.
He got up to help her with her cloth bag, glanced at the sighing Factory Director Sun, and then left with Shen Mingzhi.
After Shen Mingzhi got into the car, she asked him, "Do you think I'm heartless?"
The accountant standing to the side silently pretended to be invisible.
“I think you’re right. When they used underhanded tactics, they didn’t apologize. But after being beaten badly, they started talking about these things. What were they doing before?” Jiang Shaozhen felt that they had taken advantage of Director Sun’s soft heart.
If he weren't soft-hearted, he wouldn't have taken out a loan to keep the factory afloat.
"It's just the beginning..." Shen Mingzhi muttered to herself.
Factories that don't compete, don't compete for technology, and always rely on the government for support will eventually go bankrupt.
What Shen Mingzhi is doing now is to establish a firm foothold before the turmoil arrives.
