December 20th has arrived in the blink of an eye, New Year's Day is getting closer and closer, and things have become more complicated.
Comrades from the court came to Lin Mai two days ago and said that Guan Yonghua wanted to give her all the equipment of the Ximan Garment Factory to compensate for the 80,000 yuan fire compensation awarded by the court.
According to comrades in the court, those equipments were all garment assembly lines shipped by Guan Yonghua from Hong Kong, and were worth more than 80,000 yuan.
Lin Mai didn't agree immediately. She had to see it first and confirm that the equipment was worth at least 80,000 yuan.
She planned to take Fang Zhuoyue to see it today or tomorrow before making a decision.
There will be a plenary meeting this morning to deal with the upcoming festival.
Yesterday, Zhao Liang reported to her that except for lettuce, fennel and other vegetables that are not eaten by insects, the vegetables grown in greenhouses were infested with pests and diseases in large areas, and the farmers were helpless.
If the pests and diseases of greenhouse vegetables cannot be controlled, the second batch of greenhouse vegetables will most likely be destroyed and all the money will be lost.
The most expensive thing about growing greenhouse vegetables is not the greenhouse or the seeds, but the labor.
Now the area for growing vegetables in greenhouses has doubled compared to the beginning, and labor costs alone cost tens of thousands a month.
Today I have to take time to go to Huazhong Agricultural University and ask two professors to see if the greenhouse vegetables can be saved.
District Chief Ouyang called yesterday and asked her to come today because he had something to explain to her.
The custom-made dresses and accessories for the actresses have been completed and have to be sent to the organizers of the Golden Rooster Awards...
Lin Mai woke up early when he thought that there were so many things waiting to be solved.
She was afraid that she would be too busy today and had to use her morning time to study hard for two hours.
After washing up, Lin Mai had just sat at the desk and opened the book when the phone on the bedside table rang harshly.
She wondered who called in so early.
She picked up the call and saw it was the call from the guard.
Tell her that someone splashed red paint at the factory gate and wrote several big words in red paint such as "It is unkind to be rich" and "You must die a good death" and asked her how to deal with it.
Lin Mai was a little surprised.
Guan Yonghua has returned to Hong Kong. All the equipment is planned to be mortgaged and the compensation will be paid to her. He has made it clear that he does not want to fight with her. Who else will splash red paint on her garment factory? Write in big letters?
She thought for a moment and said, "Notify Section Chief Ding and ask him to send people from the security department to get rid of the red paint and large characters.
No need to make any noise or call the police, I will discuss countermeasures with Section Chief Ding later."
Lin Mai knew how to drive in her previous life. During this period, Fang Zhuoran taught her how to drive when he had time.
She showed extremely high "talent" and was able to learn to drive independently.
After breakfast, Lin Mai drove the Mercedes-Benz out.
I have to travel a lot today, and I can't do it without driving.
She first went to Jinxiu Garment Factory.
From a distance, I saw that the factory entrance had been cleaned long ago, and there was no trace of paint being thrown on it.
Because New Year's Day is coming soon and a surge in sales is needed, the factory has arranged for workers to start working overtime.
Now as long as we arrange three shifts, the factory will provide three meals a day.
When Lin Mai arrived at the factory, the workers were having breakfast. Each person had a few steamed buns with soy sauce and pickled cabbage porridge.
Some are not afraid of the cold and can be eaten outdoors, while others are eaten in the workshop.
The concierge uncle was also having breakfast in the concierge.
Seeing Lin Mai coming, he quickly opened the door for her.
Lin Mai entered the factory, parked the car, and then came to the concierge.
The guard uncle handed her a steamed bun with soy sauce meat that was roasting deliciously on the stove, and invited her to eat it with a smile.
Lin Mai waved his hand and asked if he heard anything when someone splashed red paint and wrote big letters on the factory gate last night.
The uncle of the guard said with a shy face: "I was too deep in sleep, so I didn't hear it."
Lin Mai then went to the security department.
While eating breakfast, Ding Haifeng ordered his men to start patrolling even outside the factory from tonight.
The boys in security uniforms nodded.
Lin Mai said: "There is no need to make a big fanfare, just send a few boys to patrol secretly.
I think that the person who splashed red paint and wrote big letters will definitely come again when he sees that we have settled the matter.
If you send a patrol, it will only alert the enemy, but it will not be easy to arrest people."
Ding Haifeng waved his hand and asked all the younger brothers to retreat.
He furrowed his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Which mentally retarded person did the stupid thing of splashing red paint and writing big characters?
It is obvious that this move has no lethal effect on us at all.
If he washes his front feet, our back feet will be clean.
Tell me - what is the purpose of that retarded person doing this?"
Lin Mai spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. Let's ask after we catch the person."
Ding Haifeng asked: "What if that person finds that he is doing useless work and stops coming?"
"If you don't come, forget it. If you come, I'll arrest you."
As soon as the work bell rang, Lin Mai went to the small conference room. Everyone had already arrived and the meeting started directly.
Chen Feng said that the Qingnian Road community has been completed and the acceptance inspection has been completed, and the demolished households can move in.
Lin Mai nodded and asked him to send someone to notify the residents of Shangquan Village today to prepare them to move.
Starting from tomorrow, Wantong Real Estate will send trucks to assist them in moving.
Zheng Xudong reported that the Baohaochi flagship store on Jiefang Road took more than a month and was finally renovated.
He wanted Lin Mai to take the time to see if there was anything else that needed to be modified, so that he could make the modifications before New Year's Day and officially open for business on New Year's Day.
Lin Mai promised to take time to go over and take a look after the meeting, but she suggested opening on Christmas Eve.
Since the reform and opening up, mainland China has only opened its doors to the outside world. Although movies from Hong Kong, Taiwan and island countries have been introduced, people in this era only know about Christmas, and not many people know about it.
Even fewer people know about Christmas Eve,
Zheng Xudong asked curiously: "What holiday is Christmas Eve?"
Lin Mai made science popular for everyone to listen to.
She plans to have Christmas Eve sales in all departments.
Whether you go to Fuduoduo Market to buy food or Jinxiu clothing, or order food from Renjian Yanhuo BBQ Restaurant or Bao Haochi Noodle Shop...you can get an apple.
But the apples on that day were not called apples, but called Ping An fruit.
It sounds novel to everyone, but they are worried that this promotion will be of no use.
Because in their perception, ordinary people do not celebrate foreign festivals.
Lin Mai said confidently: "As long as the publicity is done well, there is no need to worry that the event will be useless."
She comes from a previous life and knows best how much young Chinese people in this era adore foreigners and pay more attention to celebrating foreign festivals than traditional festivals of their own country.
Especially in this era of reform and opening up, many novel things are suddenly pouring into the world that has been closed for a long time.
Many young people have lost themselves, thinking that the moon is foreign and that everything is foreign and good.
It’s not a foreign festival, it’s so outdated and unfashionable!
Lin Mai ordered that all stores and stores should be decorated with lights, and Christmas trees and sika deer should be erected.
And they also have to ask people to dress up as Santa Claus and hand out leaflets in front of the door.
These tasks are all the responsibility of the Public Relations Department.
Lin Mai also asked the public relations department to broadcast the late-winter clothing advertisement shot by Zhang Yuxin on CCTV before Christmas Eve, and the posters should also be hung on the exterior walls of major shopping malls.
She had a request for the poster this time. It was a huge advertisement several meters long that could be seen clearly even from a long distance away.
After the meeting, Lin Mai went to the district government first.
District Chief Ouyang had nothing to do with her. He wanted her to take over another state-owned food market that had closed down.
This state-owned food market is located on Daxing Road in Jiang'an District. It is also a large-scale food market.
After Linmai takes over, he will be exempt from taxes for three years and will also receive other preferential supports.
For example, it supplies various meats such as state-owned planned pork and various soy products to the Daxing Road vegetable market.
Lin Mai was silent for a while.
Even if we don't provide her with various meat and soy products at the planned price, it's no problem to let her contract another vegetable market.
But the key point is that she doesn't want to take over the laid-off workers from the original market, and District Chief Ouyang knows this clearly.
When she first took over the Jiefang Road market, she had a stalemate with District Mayor Ouyang for a long time in order not to accept those laid-off workers, and only then did Ouyang give in.
But this time, the first thing District Mayor Ouyang mentioned was to take in the laid-off workers from Daxing Road Market. It might not be easy to refuse like last time.
But it’s not easy and you have to say no.
Lin Mai deliberately continued to remain silent.
Whoever loses his composure first will lose.
Seeing her not speaking for a long time, District Chief Ouyang had no choice but to say, "Do you have any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will try my best to solve it for you."
Lin Mai then spoke cautiously: "I don't want those laid-off workers~"
District Chief Ouyang smiled bitterly: "I am in charge of Jianghan District. Daxing Road Food Market belongs to Jiang'an District and is not under my control at all.
But I asked you to take over this market. You can imagine that this is what I meant above.
The higher-ups want you to take over all the employees of Daxing Road Market, but I can't help it."
Lin Mai was silent for a long time and asked, "Can you refuse?"
District Chief Ouyang's expression froze: "This... is not good."
Lin Mai immediately understood as soon as she heard it. If she refused, it would have a big impact on District Chief Ouyang, who would definitely have objections to her.
But if you take over, you will definitely face problems that are difficult to manage.
After a long time, she said: "Let me think about it for a few days."
District Chief Ouyang looked disappointed: "New Year's Day will be here in ten days.
Are you not afraid of missing the New Year's Day promotion just because you've wasted a few days thinking about it?"
Lin Mai smiled and said softly but firmly: "Even if you miss the New Year's Day promotion, you won't lose or make a profit.
I am afraid that I will take over this mess in a hurry, disobey management from top to bottom, and make losses every day. It is too difficult to make money, and I cannot afford to lose money."
She knows the peeing habits of state-owned employees very well.
His work attitude is not positive, and he likes to do things perfunctorily and does not obey discipline.
State-owned factories collapsed one after another under the wave of reform, and the employees within the establishment were indispensable.
District Chief Ouyang looked at Lin Mai's back as he said goodbye and left, his expression a bit ugly.
Since the tax revenue generated by the brocade clothing within his scope is astonishing, there has been an intention to promote him.
He also wants to climb one step higher before he can show off his talents.
But at this critical moment, a leader from above asked him to come forward and ask Lin Mai to take over the Daxing Road Food Market, and he must take over all the employees of the Daxing Road Food Market.
At that time, he felt that Lin Mai would never agree.
Because she particularly hates the system of state-owned enterprises. Because of the establishment, those employees are all like uncles and are difficult to manage.
But the leader said that if he couldn't handle this matter well, he would have to wait a few more years for promotion.
He is no longer young. He is almost fifty. If he delays for a few more years, it will be time to retire~
In his heart, he complained a little about why Lin Mai didn't agree?
Although he knew that Lin Mai would have a lot of trouble taking over those employees, he believed that she was capable of solving them. However, she just didn't want to take over.
