Zhou Chen took out a few hundred dollars from his body and wanted to hand it to Sanli.
When Qiao Sanli saw Zhou Chen giving her money, she quickly pushed it back: "Brother Zhou Chen, I have money. My eldest brother gave it to me."
As she spoke, she took out a handful of broken banknotes from her pants pocket.
"Xiaochen."
Suddenly a voice sounded, Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli turned their heads and saw Zhou Jianguo sitting on the bicycle, looking at them strangely.
Zhou Chen didn't react at all, but Qiao Sanli's face turned red and she quickly whispered to Zhou Chen.
"Brother Zhou Chen, I'm going back first."
He was about to run away, but realized it was rude, so he turned around and shouted to Zhou Jianguo: "Hello, uncle."
Seeing Qiao Sanli escaping in a hurry, Zhou Chen walked towards his father.
"Dad, did you get off work so early?"
Zhou Jianguo sighed: "The factory has not been very efficient recently and is relatively idle. Is that girl just now the Qiao Sanli you mentioned? I see you have looked for her several times. Do you like her?"
Zhou Chen said helplessly: "Dad, do you think it's appropriate to discuss this here?"
Zhou Jianguo glanced at the people coming and going, "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
When she got home, Han Huifang had already prepared the meal.
"You're back, wash your hands and eat."
A family of three was sitting at the table eating, and Han Huifang said worriedly: "Lao Zhou, how is the factory doing now?"
"well."
Speaking of this, Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but sigh, "The efficiency of the factory is getting worse and worse. The leaders are also thinking of ways, but I guess there is no good way. I heard from the deputy director that someone seems to want to
Purchase our factory.”
"Acquisition?"
Han Huifang was shocked: "We are a state-owned enterprise now. If we are acquired, won't we become a private enterprise? Then can our jobs be kept? There are also seniority pensions and so on. We are only a few years away from retirement.
, nothing can happen at this time."
The couple have worked in the textile factory for many years. Han Huifang will be fifty years old soon and will be able to retire soon. If the factory suddenly disappears, her retirement will definitely be affected.
"There is nothing we can do about it. We are just small workers and we cannot live at all. We have made trouble many times, but what's the use?"
Although workers still dominate now and no one dares to lay off workers easily, if this continues, the factory will be destroyed soon.
"Dad, tell me what's going on in your textile factory, and I'll give you some advice."
Zhou Chen was more concerned about his parents' jobs. He knew that his parents had worked in textile factories all their lives, but they couldn't even keep their jobs when they were about to die.
Han Huifang said: "Yes, my son is so smart, let him give us some advice."
Thanks to Zhou Chen's consistently excellent performance, Han Huifang believed in her son. She felt that her son was so smart that even though he had never worked before, he definitely knew more than them.
Zhou Jianguo didn't refuse and started talking to Zhou Chen about the textile factory.
In fact, the problem is very simple. The efficiency of the textile factory is getting worse and worse, but the number of workers has not decreased. Gradually, it can no longer persist. It has been several months since wages were paid.
Zhou Chen listened very carefully. Although Zhou Jianguo's words were not very detailed, with his many years of business experience, he still found the key to the problem at once.
After all, it is still a problem with the textile factory itself. In the past, as a state-owned enterprise, supported by the state, it was naturally an iron rice bowl and a high priority.
However, as society develops, textile factories are unwilling to make progress or change. Their competitiveness is slowly declining, orders are getting fewer and fewer, and naturally profits are getting smaller and smaller.
All in all, it is unable to make ends meet and cannot even pay workers’ wages. How can this factory continue to do so?
After finishing speaking, Zhou Jianguo took the initiative to comfort his son: "Xiao Chen, don't worry, the factory won't be closed down for a while. Your mother and I are also middle-level cadres after all. Even if we lay off people, they won't be able to lay off our heads, so don't
Worried."
Zhou Chen thought for a while and then asked: "Dad, I think it's not a problem to work in the factory all the time. Have you ever thought about doing something on your own?"
Zhou Jianguo was stunned and asked: "You mean to let us go to the sea? No, no, your mother and I are registered workers, how can we go to the sea? Absolutely not."
Han Huifang also agreed: "Your dad is right. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible. People will laugh at you. Who would leave a good worker to do business?"
Zhou Chen smiled bitterly. He also knew that this was due to the times. In the 1980s, going overseas to do business was not a compliment. It could be said that few people would choose to go overseas to do business instead of doing their jobs as workers.
However, he did not ask his parents to start from scratch, but had other purposes.
"Dad, Mom, you have misunderstood. What I mean is, have you ever thought about taking over the textile factory?"
"ah?"
