The news about the foreigners coming to the factory quickly spread among the employees.
"I heard that they are from the Soviet Union and want to cooperate with our factory. This is my first time meeting a foreigner. I can't understand a word they are saying."
"It's strange to understand." A woman kept moving her hands: "In the past, the only companies that could cooperate with foreigners were the large state-owned factories. Now our factory can cooperate with others. Do you know what this means?"
Many people are curious: "What does it mean?"
"It shows that our factory is no worse than those state-owned factories. My family works in a flour mill, and we usually act like an uncle at home. Last month, I got 62 yuan for expenses, and 5 yuan for perfect attendance, a total of 67,
It’s more than 20 yuan more than him, what do you think?”
Everyone urged: "Speak quickly, speak quickly."
"It turns out that I don't have a job, and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law look down on me. They think I'm just a freeloader. My family is usually a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything. Now I earn the most in the whole family. My family knows that I work hard.
Being far away from home, not only did I no longer need to cook, but he also bought me a new bicycle."
"I'm not as quick as you, but I opened more than fifty jobs last month. Do you think if the factory really cooperates with foreigners, will we have more work?"
In addition to basic wages, the factory also provides piece-rate wages after a certain amount.
The production volume is not large now, and everyone works the normal day shift. If you work shift work, you will definitely earn more.
While everyone was talking about it, team leader Zhou Haiming suddenly walked in: "Everyone, please stop what you are doing and go to the cafeteria for a meeting. Mr. Chen has something to say."
"Why is there a meeting suddenly?" someone asked curiously.
"What else could it be? It must be a cooperation agreement with Lao Maozi."
Everyone exchanged words with each other, left the workshop, and walked towards the canteen.
The cafeteria and the dormitory are together. On the left is the three-story dormitory building, and on the right near the courtyard gate is the cafeteria.
The cafeteria hall is very spacious, and it is also very spacious for more than 200 people to eat at the same time.
In addition to being a dining place, it is also occasionally used for factory meetings.
Employees came over one after another in twos and threes. Chen Lishu took a quick look to make sure they were basically there, then got up and went to the front.
"Everyone should know that the cooperation between our factory and Mr. Andre has been implemented."
The employees below immediately clapped happily.
"As the leader of the factory, I have already done my part. Next, I need everyone's cooperation and joint efforts to complete this business with quality and quantity. Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. All departments need to work together.
Try to prepare the raw materials in these two days. Everyone will be working harder during this period and need to work shifts. If there is any inconvenience, please tell Team Leader Zhou in advance."
Zhou Haiming was the first to express his position: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we will definitely work hard and conscientiously complete the tasks assigned to us by our leaders."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." The employees below agreed.
Basically, everyone comes from the city to work, and most of their family members work in various factories. Some of the unprofitable ones have taken a leave of absence without pay to make a living on their own. Now they can still make more money by working overtime.
Busy, it’s better to be busy!
…
"What are you happy about today?" Seeing Chen Lishu coming out with two plates of food in her hands, Gu Xingdong hung his coat on the hanger.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he felt his legs tighten. He looked down and saw his son grinning at him.
"Daddy hugs."
Gu Xingdong bent down and picked up the little guy. He suddenly reached a high place, and Xiao Chengzi immediately started to giggle.
Chen Lishu smiled: "Tell me, where did you see it?"
Gu Xingdong walked up to her, lowered his eyes and fell on the dish in her hand, and said in a low voice: "It's delicious, delicious, and it looks like it was made by you."
Chen Lishu couldn't help but pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Today we signed an order from a foreign businessman. At first we thought the other party only had a business deal of 10,000 U.S. dollars. However, it was only after the contract was almost negotiated that we realized that the 10,000 U.S. dollars was
The initial deposit is actually a total of US$40,000 for the entire order.”
Gu Xingdong raised his eyebrows: "So many? My wife is really amazing."
Chen Lishu looked proud and said matter-of-factly: "Seize the opportunity to show off. If you are happy, I can reward you with something."
"Okay, I will definitely behave well tonight."
Chen Lishu just nodded her head, realized what he meant, and glared at him: "The child is still here, and he is not in good shape all day long."
Gu Xingdong teased: "What did I say? I didn't think you were exhausted these days, so I wanted to give you a good massage in the evening."
Chen Lishu ignored him, put down the plate in her hand, turned to Ruirui and said, "Ruirui, take sister to wash her hands, let's eat."
Before turning around and entering the kitchen, he said to Gu Xingdong: "You two should go wash your hands quickly."
"Copy that." Gu Xingdong hugged his son and turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
…
The fair lasted for five days. In addition to Andre's order, the factory received a total of more than 400,000 orders at this fair, and it became a hot spot in the clothing industry.
In addition to Andre's goods having to be completed on time, there are also several big merchants waiting to supply them.
Although the factory had already prepared a lot of goods before, it was still very busy at the moment.
The day after the trade fair, several factories in the clothing industry sat together. They all intended to follow the example of the South and set up an industry association.
Chen Lishu sat together with Han Shenglin, who was familiar with Feng Wenyou.
Feng Wenyou tilted his head: "That modeling performance of yours was really great, but it's a pity that the people in the factory are just idiots, and no one has the ability in this area."
Chen Lishu heard the implication of his words and said in a good-natured way: "We are also just figuring it out on our own. If Uncle Feng thinks it is okay, I will send two people from the model team to help guide."
Feng Wenyou's eyes lit up and he said with some embarrassment: "How embarrassing is this? Your factory's model team is the only one in the province."
He was embarrassed to say that the model team was a tool for making money. Chen Lishu was so happy to share the model team with him. This was a huge favor.
"Uncle Feng, why are you so polite to me? I owe it to Uncle Feng and Uncle Han for their strong support in building the factory. But it's just a model team and there's so much money to be made."
Feng Wenyou didn't expect to hear her words like this and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Han Shenglin on the side couldn't help but admire him: "I didn't expect you, Xiao Chen, to have such vision and courage at such a young age."
How many people want to hide their business, or even use any means to suppress their peers, but they don't know that only a good development environment and orderly competition can make their business bigger and stronger.
Chen Lishu smiled: "Thank you, Uncle Han. I'm just not greedy."
The bigger your business gets, the more important your connections become than temporary gains and losses.
