There is an extreme shortage of reliable people nowadays.
He needs a core team that is independent, trustworthy, and hardworking.
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning - Zhou Jianshe, Sun Xiangqian and others.
And the hunting brothers who used to hunt together in the mountains.
Some of them have returned to the city, some are scattered all over the place, some have entered factories as workers, some have stayed in the countryside, and some are still unemployed.
But Lu Qingyang knows the character of these people very well. They have experienced the hardships of the educated youth years, and they are tough and resilient. More importantly, they value friendship and ideals.
Trustworthy.
Lu Qingyang found a way to contact them. Some people were content with the status quo and couldn't come, so he didn't force them.
He temporarily arranged for those who were willing to come and help to stay in the textile factory dormitory.
The dormitory has been renovated. Compared with the environment when I went to the countryside, it is really a world of difference.
Sun Xiangqian and Zhou Jianshe immediately agreed to Lu Qingyang's request.
Half a month later, at the exit of Suicheng Station.
Lu Qingyang saw the familiar figure at a glance - Sun Xiangqian.
He was wearing a blue Zhongshan suit, carrying a half-worn travel bag, and looked dusty.
"Go forward." Lu Qingyang strode forward and held Sun Xiangqian's hand tightly.
"Let's go! Let's settle down and have something to eat first!" Lu Qingyang took the travel bag from him and led him to the factory's half-worn jeep parked on the side of the road. This was the car provided to the textile factory.
In the car, the two chatted about what had happened since they last met. Sun Xiangqian briefly explained the arrangements at home: his wife and children would stay in Liuxi Brigade temporarily until he had established a firm foothold.
When the large gate of Feihong Textile Factory came into view, Sun Xiangqian just nodded slightly. He felt that Lu Qingyang, as the "factory director", managing such a factory seemed to be in line with his expectations.
However, when the jeep drove into the factory gate, the scene in front of him made Sun Xiangqian hold his breath.
On both sides of the wide factory roads are huge factory buildings that are lined up as far as the eye can see.
The red brick walls are tall and thick, and the roof is covered with dark tiles.
In the huge windows, the outlines of rapidly running machines can be vaguely seen.
The air was filled with the distinctive smell of cotton wool and the low hum of running machines.
At the workshop door, workers in uniform blue work clothes were pushing carts filled with spindles or cloth in and out in an orderly manner.
In the distance, several tall water towers and chimneys stood, and further away, rows of staff dormitories could be seen...
The scale, the momentum, and the busy and orderly scene were completely beyond Sun Xiangqian's imagination.
The "factory" in his mind was probably just a small workshop with a few bungalows and dozens of workers.
The Feihong Textile Factory in front of us is simply a small industrial city!
"This... this is... your textile factory?" Sun Xiangqian couldn't believe it. It was like the first time he really knew this brother with whom he used to hunt roe deer and dig wild vegetables in the snow.
Lu Qingyang looked at the undisguised shock on Sun Xiangqian's face and smiled, his tone calm but full of pride:
"Yes, it's right here, Feihong Textile Factory. Things are getting sorted out now. I guess it's worker number 400."
Worker number! Sun Xiangqian took a deep breath.
How much patience is needed to feed so many workers and maintain the operation of such a huge factory.
This was by no means the "small achievement" he had imagined before; it was definitely a solid and awe-inspiring foundation.
After the shock, a feeling of admiration surged in Sun Xiangqian's heart.
"Good boy, Lu Qingyang, you are so great." He shook his head, with a smile on his face that showed he was truly proud of his brother.
"When we were hunting in the mountains, I knew you were something special! But I never thought... you would accomplish such a great feat! Amazing! Incredible!"
He looked around the huge factory area outside the window, his tone full of emotion: "How long has it been... You... You really are... a carp leaping over the dragon gate!"
He admired him sincerely and felt lucky to follow such a brother.
Lu Qingyang parked the car downstairs of the factory office building and took Sun Xiangqian on a brief tour of the core areas of the factory - the spinning workshop, the weaving workshop, the wrapping workshop...
Wherever they went, Sun Xiangqian looked intently, listened to Lu Qingyang's introduction, and nodded frequently.
After the two of them arrived at the office, Sun Xiangqian nodded repeatedly: "To be honest, before I came here, although I believed in you, I was a little unsure. I thought that the pharmaceutical factory was just starting out, so I would help as much as possible, but now..."
He pointed to the huge textile factory outside the window and said, "Seeing that you manage this huge factory so well, I am impressed. I am completely impressed."
Sun Xiangqian sat up straight and said seriously, "Qingyang, just make the arrangements! Now that I'm here, I'm just a brick, I can be moved wherever I'm needed!"
Lu Qingyang took him to the pharmaceutical factory under construction.
"Forward." Lu Qingyang pointed to the mountain of building materials outside the window. "Our biggest headache right now is this pile of materials management!"
"Look, there's steel bars, cement, bricks, wood, pipes, wires... there are so many varieties and huge quantities, and they're still coming in every day!"
Lu Qingyang's tone became more serious. "These things are the foundation of our factory. They are money! But if they are piled there and not managed properly, it will be a huge waste and hidden dangers! Lost materials, mixed materials, damaged materials, or even stolen materials are all big problems! They will directly affect the progress and quality of the project!"
Sun Xiangqian looked in the direction Lu Qingyang pointed, and frowned as he saw the chaotic stacking scene.
"On the construction side, our main focus is on construction coordination, quality control, and technical issues. We can't spare too much time to deal with these things."
Lu Qingyang patted Zhou Jianshe's shoulder and said, "So, Xiang Qian, I'd like you to be in charge of this area - the pharmaceutical factory's preparation and construction headquarters, and the general manager of materials!"
"Material manager?" Sun Xiangqian was stunned. He didn't expect such an important task to fall on him.
"Well, every time a batch of materials comes in, you have to have someone count them clearly, check the specifications, models, and quantities. Every time materials are taken out, they must be strictly in accordance with the construction order. You have to remember who took it, what it's for, and how much it's taken. You have to sign and seal everything. The accounts must be as clear as a mirror, without any ambiguity.
You have to work closely with the construction team, knowing what materials the site needs every day, preparing them in advance, and liaising with the procurement department to ensure that materials arrive on time and of the highest quality. You also have to deal with the foreman of the construction team. You must be firm when it's time to give materials, and be resolute when it's not! You have to stick to your principles and not be afraid of offending others!
Lu Qingyang continued, "Xiang Qian, I know you're meticulous, but what I value most is your sturdy spirit. You're willing to endure hardships, shoulder responsibilities, and have strong principles. So, are you brave enough to take on this responsibility? I'll definitely give you a high salary."
"Dare! What's there to be afraid of? You're really good at judging people. It's just about the materials. I'm the strongest, and my principles are stronger than anyone else's!
Don't worry, leave this business to me, I promise to manage it clearly for you! Anyone who wants to do something wrong with the materials must first step over me, Sun Xiangqian!"
