"I don't understand why we can't go to my eldest brother or my little sister. Aren't we a family? Since the factory has problems beyond our control, why don't we go to them for help if our family members are capable? Or do you think it's embarrassing to go to your own family?"
A family that rarely quarrels in the workers' compound has been having quarrels from time to time recently. This is the third time.
Lin Meihua couldn't figure out what Li Xuanzhi was struggling with. Things in the factory had reached a very bad point.
She couldn't restrain her intense emotions. After another argument, she sat on the sofa and covered her face and cried.
Li Xuanzhi's face was full of irritability and depression, and he didn't know what to do. He chose to quit his job in a state-owned enterprise when he was in his thirties and chose to go into business.
Unexpectedly, before the factory was even started, someone would set it up.
He couldn't help but wonder if he had done something wrong.
Since the rise of self-employed individuals and private enterprises, the turnover of state-owned meat factories has been squeezed, and many workers have been laid off one after another.
As the deputy director of the factory, Li Xuanzhi would not be laid off, but he decisively resigned from the position of deputy director not long after.
The leader doesn’t understand it, and neither do his employees.
Even if the state-owned meat factory fails to operate and lays off most of its employees, Li Xuanzhi will be fine. At most, he will be transferred to other positions.
The leader also tried to retain Li Xuanzhi, saying that he was the backbone of the factory. Even if the meat factory in the future was no longer a meat factory, it would be another state-owned enterprise that adapted to the needs of the times. In short, it would still be a state-owned enterprise. Li Xuanzhi only wanted to
If you stay, you can still use your talents.
But Li Xuanzhi still didn't stay and declined the leadership.
The parents of the Li family don't even understand the choice of their second son. From the age of seventeen to now, he has been working in the meat factory for more than ten years. How can the country's iron rice bowl be destroyed if it is smashed?
Li Minhong is simply not the kind of stubborn and pedantic person, and Li Xuanzhi is no longer a child. As a man in his thirties with a family, his choice is definitely not the three-minute passion of a young boy.
In the end, he just let him go. Li Minhong also told Li Xuanzhi that things in society are complex and trendy. With so many people doing business, there must be some bad guys and people without morals and justice. If he meets
Any difficulties must be discussed together at home.
Now Li Xuanzhi has encountered a bad person, a person without morals and justice, who has been put in a bad position, and all the money to build the factory has been wasted.
Of course he remembered his father's words and also thought about finding his elder brother.
But he has no face.
Lin Meihua's words struck a chord in his heart. He was not afraid of inconvenience to his family, but was afraid of losing face.
He was so free and easy when he resigned. He saw that after the opening up in the past few years, more and more households worth ten thousand yuan had emerged everywhere, but there were not many industries, and the people needed much more than these.
He saw huge commercial value in it. He was unwilling to receive a fixed salary in a state-owned enterprise. What about the deputy factory director?
What others see is only glamorous, but only you know that if you continue like this, you will not make a fortune.
You said he had a wife and children, so he didn't think about them?
Of course there is.
He knew he was a father, so he wanted to go out and give it a try. He was now in his thirties, had connections, and had many years of experience in managing production.
Since others can do business in the sea, why can't he?
It was precisely because of these unreconciled thoughts that Li Xuanzhi resigned and went to work.
His wife Lin Meihua supported him very much and even quit her job in the factory to accompany Li Xuanzhi to start his own business.
When deciding how much money to invest from his family, Lin Meihua also agreed to let him spend almost all of their savings.
This is the main reason why the two of them couldn't make ends meet after suffering a big setback at the beginning.
Li Xuanzhi looked at his wife's collapse, and his heart felt like a knife. After all, he cared too much about his face.
After a long time, Li Xuanzhi breathed out, as if he had made some important decision. He patted Lin Meihua's back comfortingly: "I'll go talk to my father and brother tomorrow. Don't be sad. It's all my fault."
good."
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Meihua raised her head and looked at him.
Li Xuanzhi paused: "Maybe I made a mistake by resigning to start a business."
Lin Meihua sniffed and looked at Li Xuanzhi firmly: "Your choice is wrong. It's too early to draw a conclusion now. We just haven't built the factory and haven't started production and operation yet. Why do you start to doubt yourself?"
Woolen cloth?"
Li Xuanzhi didn't expect that his wife's thoughts were like this. After many quarrels, Li Xuanzhi felt that he had used his savings to gamble and failed, and that was why he let his wife down.
Lin Meihua saw Li Xuanzhi's stunned look. After being married for many years, she quickly guessed what Li Xuanzhi was thinking.
She couldn't help but smile instead of crying: "Do you think I will be disappointed in you?"
He nodded.
Lin Meihua said: "I don't blame you for this. No one starts a business smoothly without encountering difficulties along the way. But for us, maybe it was just a little difficult at the beginning and the difficulties came earlier."
"Meihua..."
"But you are really at fault." Lin Meihua looked at him, "We just haven't built the factory. There are many ways to solve it. Find new construction, or just rent a ready-made one. In fact, it's all about money. The point is that we
We don’t have any money now, right? Then find someone to borrow it from and find someone to have connections with.”
The ready-made method of renting was directly rejected. Li Xuanzhi spent most of his money on buying land. Land in the western suburbs was cheap. His idea from the beginning was to build his own factory.
Maybe in the eyes of others, this approach is too risky.
But this was Li Xuanzhi's decision after many inspections. Renting a house in the city and building a factory would require large-scale renovation, which would cost a lot of money, and there were few suitable places in the city.
It happened that land in the western suburbs came up for sale, so he took the opportunity to buy it. Following the entrepreneurial subsidy policy, the price was quite suitable.
It happened to be the weekend when Li Xuan returned to Li's father and Li's mother.
Li Ruizhi and Shen Ruoning moved back here after they got married, so Li's mother could take care of the pregnant Shen Ruoning.
Li Rong brought Zhao Qingsong and others over for dinner, and there were more people than Li Xuanzhi expected.
Brother Li is resting, and his wife and children are also there.
The Li family members all gathered together, and what Li Xuanzhi originally planned to say was suppressed in his heart, thinking that he would find a chance to tell Li Minhong and Li Kaizhi later.
He subconsciously put aside Li Ruizhi and Li Rong. Li Xuanzhi mainly wanted to borrow money or find connections.
You want to talk about borrowing money. Li Ruizhi just got married and bought a house. Where is the money? Moreover, he borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from Li Kaizhi. Li Xuanzhi knew that he was still a little ashamed that he had no money to lend to him.
As for his younger brother, Li Ruizhi didn't ask him to borrow money at first, probably because he knew he was building a factory and was sensible enough not to bother him.
Even with Shen Ruoning's dowry now, the money might not be enough to pay for a house, so Li Xuanzhi had no intention of looking for him.
