Zheng Juzi quickly calmed herself down - since she was here, she had to get something, right?

"Director Kang, I don't know much about the production and operation model of your medicinal slice factory. Why don't you take us through it?"

Even if you don't acquire this factory, it always pays to get to know a few more.

Director Kang thought this was a promising idea and enthusiastically took them on a tour of the factory.

Most of the factory's production lines had stopped, and workers could be seen slacking off everywhere. They sat in groups of two or three in their work clothes chatting. Even when they saw Director Kang, they didn't move much, but just asked casually, "Director, when can we get our wages?"

Factory Director Kang was helpless in the face of these old hands and could only say, "It's almost done. Aren't we trying to find a solution?"

Zheng Juzi had another opinion: "The factory hasn't paid wages for two or three months, and everyone is a little upset."

"Everyone has developed feelings for the factory. Even if they don't get paid, they are reluctant to leave. If you buy the factory and don't want the employees, what will you do with these people?"

Director Kang talked a lot, partly introducing the factory's production process, but mostly complaining about the unreasonable policies that meant that people like them, who had stable jobs, couldn't even get paid.

The country shouldn't change like this...

The point is that Zheng Juzi cannot fire any of the workers in the factory.

The moral statements sound lofty, but his selfish motives are hard to conceal - if these people stay, he may continue to be the factory director.

After finally becoming a factory manager, he doesn't want to go out and look for a job like those ordinary workers. He is too old to afford the loss of face.

There are too many people in the factory and their morale is low. He doesn't believe that a young girl like Zheng Juzi won't solve this problem after taking over. By then, he will definitely be asked to come back to continue managing it.

This is a pharmaceutical factory, and most of the medicines are herbs collected from farmers. It would be impossible to collect, prepare and make the medicines without professionals.

"Mr. Zheng, when do you think it would be appropriate for us to sign the contract?" Director Kang wanted to finalize this matter as soon as possible.

After a round, Zheng Juzi didn't understand everything, but he knew a little bit, and said, "Director Kang, I just took a rough look. The equipment in your factory is from before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It can't keep up with the needs of modern production."

Director Kang said: "Although these machines are a bit old, they are in good working order and do not need to be replaced."

Zheng Juzi added: "These old employees you mentioned are indeed quite old, but they have no passion for work and do not abide by the rules. This is a big problem."

Director Kang said: "They are all experienced masters, so it is inevitable that they have some personalities. You will understand once you get to know them better."

Spend money to understand some old people's personalities?

Zheng Juzi insisted on doing good things that were easy to do, which did not mean that he would be taken advantage of. "Director Kang, you are also a manager, let me tell you the truth.

Looking at their status, let alone if all of them stay, even if half of them stay, the factory will not be able to continue operating. The purpose of buying the factory is to make money and profit. It is good to create jobs and achieve common prosperity, but I am not interested in paying everyone's salary at my own expense."

Director Kang has always thought that she is just a brainless, hot-blooded youngster, and he didn't deliberately avoid anything when he took her to visit the factory, but now he is a little confused.

"How about this, you can keep everyone here and lower the price."

Zheng Juzi shook her head and refused in a rather firm tone: "Don't even mention that you lowered the price. Even if it's free, I can't serve so many masters."

Director Kang was secretly angry. He thought he was completely deceived by her appearance. She was so young but had such deep thoughts.

After she said that, her room for bargaining became much narrower.

"Student Zheng, you see, these people have been working in the factory for decades. Apart from their decades of contribution, many of them rely on their salary to support their entire families. If you want the factory but not the people, are you going to let them starve? You can't be a person like this. You can't turn a blind eye to the suffering of others just because you have a little money in your hands..."

This moral kidnapping is really interesting. Is it their own fault that they are now starving?

"Director Kang is right." Zheng Juzi agreed with a smile.

Director Kang straightened his back and said, "I know you understand. You are an educated person, so you must be the most reasonable one."

Qian Duoduo remained silent. He felt sorry for Zheng Juzi. Not only did he go back on his word, but he was also forcing others to accept it. "This is no small matter. You must discuss it with Han Qiu."

After a year of getting along, she has already realized that both sisters are people with their own opinions. It would be better to say Han Qiu rather than her parents.

Zheng Juzi said: "There is no need to trouble my sister about this matter. I can make the decision."

Qian Duoduo advised again, "Think it over carefully."

Zheng Juzi said: "I have thought it through. My initial conditions were very clear. I want the factory. Some of the people inside can stay. It is impossible for everyone to stay. I came here based on this condition.

What Director Kang said makes sense. If I acquire this factory, I will be the one who makes the families of the old employees starve. I cannot do such an immoral thing, and I cannot take over this factory."

Qian Duoduo - okay, she was just worrying too much, this weird feeling is so cool.

Isn't this just moral kidnapping? How can you kidnap me if I don't want to acquire you?

Director Kang was stunned: "You, what do you mean by that?"

Zheng Juzi said, "Doing business requires fate, and this factory is not meant for me."

Director Kang was even more choked. Could even such a metaphysical concept as "no fate" be brought up?

"Isn't this what we agreed on? Why is it that we are not destined to be together?"

Zheng Juzi said: "It is fate that both parties are compatible. Now it seems that our goals are different."

When he wanted to refute, he continued: "I admire Director Kang's spirit of standing together with all the employees in the factory through thick and thin, and I can also understand your care for the old employees. It is really inhumane to let so many people leave the factory where they have worked for decades. I cannot do such an immoral thing.

I also believe that with Director Kang here, he will be able to lead everyone in the factory to overcome difficulties and create a new future.”

Director Kang was really choked - was this what he meant?

If he could lead this group of people to overcome difficulties and create a better future, would he even have to entertain a student who had not graduated?

Isn’t it just that this broken factory can’t continue to operate and no one is willing to buy it?
