Chen Lishu smiled: "What does Brother Lang want to see me for?"
Li Lang: "Isn't that right? This matter is very important. You see, the two places are not far apart. How about I wait for you to come back and we can talk in person?"
Listening to his serious tone, Chen Lishu knew that something serious might really happen. After hanging up the phone, she called her home again.
"...Yes, I received a call at the last minute. I may not be able to go back in the next two days. I miss my children especially after being away for such a long time."
Gu Xingdong: "What about me?"
Chen Lishu: "Of course I miss you the most."
The two talked for a while, then Chen Lishu hung up the phone and raised her hand to pinch her eyebrows twice.
She didn't expect it would take so long this time.
Especially the two little ones, who hugged her thighs and cried reluctantly when they left.
"Mr. Chen, the ticket has been booked for you. The train departs early tomorrow morning."
Han Dongdong came in with a train ticket in his hand.
Chen Lishu smiled bitterly: "I have something to do on the other side of Kyoto, so I have to ask you to refund it for me and exchange it for a new ticket to Kyoto."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
…
It was already the afternoon of the second day when Chen Lishu arrived in Kyoto. After a night's rest, she went to Li Lang's advertising company the next day.
Not long after Li Lang adopted the suggestion given by Chen Lishu, he opened an advertising company.
This year the policy is more open, and since it is co-operated with Kyoto TV, business has been good.
"I just wanted to call you to make an appointment, but I didn't expect you to come to my door. How embarrassing."
Li Lang said and quickly asked people to sit down, and then called his secretary to pour tea for Chen Lishu.
Chen Lishu took the teacup handed over by the secretary, said thank you first, and then said to Li Lang: "It's nothing, anyway, I just happened to come over and take a look."
"The thing is like this. I have a friend who works as the director of a clothing factory. It's a large state-owned factory. The annual income is well over one million."
Chen Lishu nodded and waited for him to continue.
“Didn’t Shougang implement the contracting system in the past two years?”
"I don't need to hide our relationship from you. Let's talk about it. In the past two years, the efficiency has been declining continuously, and the income has not been up to standard, so the factory is preparing to contract it out."
Chen Lishu: "What is the size of the factory and how much does it cost to contract?"
Li Lang scratched his head: "I really don't know about this. If you're interested, I'll give him a call and we'll go over for an on-site inspection later."
Chen Lishu nodded: "Alright."
The transportation cost from the provincial capital to Kyoto also costs a lot of money. If the focus is to be in Kyoto in the future, it would be a good idea to set up a branch factory here.
After all, a ready-made factory is much more convenient than building a new one yourself.
Especially in the Kyoto area, the cost of land, equipment and factory labor is relatively high, and the most important thing is that it is quite troublesome.
At least there are people I know in the provincial capital. At least all the approval procedures and process reviews can be completed as quickly as possible by just saying hello. This may not be easy in Kyoto.
After Li Lang dialed the phone, the other party heard that Chen Lishu was interested in going over to have a look, and he happily agreed.
The two of them drove from Li Lang's company and arrived at the gate of the garment factory in about half an hour.
The overall area is indeed quite large, but it can be seen at a glance that the factory building is very old, and one of the gates at the entrance to the courtyard is even broken.
When the car wanted to be driven in, the doorman had to come out and carry it in person.
This shows that the management is not in place at all.
However, Chen Lishu can also understand that blame-shifting has become a common problem in state-owned enterprises. No matter what, it is public property. If you do a good job, you will not be fired, nor will you get a promotion or salary increase.
Therefore, many people are passive and slow in their work, and employees are not very motivated. This is also the reason why many state-owned enterprises do not last long.
Chen Lishu wanted to go for a walk. After the car drove into the yard, it stopped in an open space.
The two got out of the car and met a worker on the road. After asking about the location of the office, the two walked towards a three-story office building.
As a result, before I even got to the door, I saw a lot of people gathered in front of the office building.
"People are still injured and lying in the hospital. The factory says they won't compensate us if we don't compensate. Isn't this pushing us to death?"
The middle-aged man frowned: "Your man was injured when he went out to pick up private work while he was resting in the factory. You can't tell the factory about this."
"I don't care. My man has worked diligently in the factory for more than 20 years. There is hard work without credit, right? You just say you don't care about such a big factory? How do you want other people to see it? It's too inhumane.
!”
"Our family is in such a difficult situation. Now that the backbone of our family is gone, we have to either provide treatment or let my son take over the job."
The middle-aged man took a breath: "Your eldest son is only sixteen, right?"
"Sixteen is not too young anymore."
"..."
Chen Lishu and Li Lang stood nearby and watched for a while. The man suddenly raised his head. When he saw the two of them, a trace of discomfort flashed across his face.
Soon, I called a junior leader below and asked him to take people to the office for negotiation, so as not to cause any negative impact here.
"I didn't expect you to come here so quickly. Let's go upstairs to my office and talk slowly." The man came over and his eyes fell on Chen Lishu as he spoke, and he looked at her carefully.
The woman in front of her was in her twenties. She was very beautiful, but her eyes were very bright. She was completely different from those ordinary girls in their twenties.
At first glance, he is not an ordinary person.
Ever since she saw the woman making trouble, Chen Lishu had completely given up on contracting the clothing factory.
If she had originally thought of taking shortcuts to save time and effort, the woman who came to make trouble would have given her a slap in the face.
It is indeed advantageous to contract factories, but the fatal shortcoming of all state-owned enterprises is that the tail is too big.
If you contract, you must sign a contract to take over the factory and also take over all the employees working in the factory.
Just managing this group of people would probably take a lot of effort.
They are all employees who have been working for half their lives. If you really use thunderous tactics and push people into panic, you don’t know what will happen.
Moreover, the old employees have long developed a lazy temperament and have long become cheating and slippery old fritters.
If the price wasn't really attractive, Chen Lishu decided not to worry about it.
She would rather spend more time buying land to build a new factory.
The man's surname is Sun, and his name is Sun Cheng.
Chen Lishu and Li Lang went to the office with him.
"Li Lang and I have been friends for many years. I knew that he had contact with many people, so I asked him to help keep an eye on it. I didn't expect that he actually introduced you, the famous Mr. Chen."
Chen Lishu: "Director Sun is overrated. For a large state-owned enterprise like yours, I still have a lot to learn and improve."
"Mr. Chen is so humble. I watched the Spring Festival Gala. The clothes produced by your factory are definitely leading the fashion trend. Sun also admires the idea of sponsoring clothes."
Li Lang listened to the two people complimenting each other, and couldn't help but interrupt them.
"Otherwise, let's just talk about business directly."
