Fan Youcheng knew Liu Fuyi, because Liu Fuyi was an old employee of the textile factory and had always lived upstairs in the photo studio.
So he quickly added, "Director Liu, my sister may not be young, but she's got a lot of great ideas. Take my photo studio, for example; if it weren't for her advice, we wouldn't be doing the business we do today. Don't worry, we really want to get the garment factory off the ground, and it will also give the employees who are about to be laid off new jobs. This is the best of both worlds!"
Liu Fuyi nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm very pleased that you're so kind. These workers have dedicated most of their lives to the textile mill. Suddenly laid off, many of them don't know how to make a living. If you can truly rehire some of these workers, it would be a good deed."
Fan Hua smiled and replied seriously, "Director Liu, don't worry. We will definitely give priority to the workers from the original textile factory. Moreover, I plan to develop a diversified business. In addition to the traditional clothing manufacturing, we will also expand into some related peripheral products, so as to provide more jobs. We will need far more people in the future, but I will not accept those former parasites who are just cheating and playing tricks!"
Hearing this, Liu Fuyi nodded in understanding, finally breaking into a smile. "Okay, since you're so sincere, the price is negotiable. However, I'm just the factory manager. The factory belongs to the owner, so I can't do anything. The transfer procedures for this factory are quite complicated. I need to communicate with the higher-ups and go through other procedures."
"No problem, Director Liu, when can you arrange for us to talk with the relevant leaders?" Fan Hua asked directly.
"I'll contact you as soon as possible and try to arrange it within the next two days. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news!" Liu Fuyi said as he stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Fan Hua's. "I hope you can really make this factory bustling again."
After leaving the factory director's office, Fan Hua and Fan Youcheng wandered around the textile factory. Fan Youcheng asked, puzzled, "Sister, why don't you consider continuing the textile factory and switching to a garment manufacturing plant? If you continue the textile factory, wouldn't we even need to buy the machinery? We could just buy it all!"
Fan Hua didn't directly answer Fan Youcheng's question, but instead asked, "Brother, do you know why this textile factory can't continue to operate?"
"I heard that the textile factory has been making losses for years and its profits can no longer support so many people!" Fan Youcheng directly said what he heard.
Fan Hua nodded. "Have you ever thought about why this textile factory has been making losses year after year?"
Fan Youcheng looked at the old machinery around him and suddenly seemed to understand something. "It must be because the machinery here is too old! I heard that this textile factory has been here since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's been thirty years. Judging from the old appearance of the equipment, I'm afraid it has never been replaced."
Fan Hua was very pleased with Fan Youcheng's observational skills. After six months of night school, Fan Youcheng's growth and transformation were truly noticeable. "You're right. This textile factory was one of the first state-owned factories to be shut down by the government. The higher-ups must have carefully considered and investigated the matter. If we want to continue operating the textile factory, we must first upgrade our equipment and technology. It's not impossible to save this aging factory, so why not just switch to another industry?"
Seeing that Fan Youcheng was listening intently, Fan Hua continued, "Now that people's lives are gradually improving, the demand for clothes will increase. The days of a piece of clothing being worn by three generations are over. Just wait and see. The 1980s was definitely a trendy era, and working in the clothing industry was definitely a good choice! Textile factory workers are mostly women, so with a little training, it wouldn't be difficult for them to switch to clothing manufacturing. Besides, have you forgotten what your sister is best at?"
