Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan
Chapter 278 Preparing for a New Factory
The next day, when Xu Damao returned to Dongsishitiao, Gu Meifang told Xu Damao something first.
"Boss, Xiaoyong and his wife came to our house yesterday. Xiaoyong brought you a box of wine. I put it in the wine cabinet for you."
"Xiao Yong didn't tell me how the video parlor business is going?"
"He's doing fine. He's even opened a second one. Xiaoyong said that there seemed to be some problems with Xiaoyu's second uncle, and things weren't going well at work, so he wanted to help him manage the second video parlor."
"Oh? Well... I know about this. I will go to my master's place tomorrow. It's really the first time I've been there since the Spring Festival."
Xu Damao guessed that Zhang Lingyun's company was in a recession. It was originally a waste collection station, but later became a material recycling company. Yes, if you calculate the time, the company's performance is indeed poor and the staff is too large. It's time to divert the employees.
The next day, I went to the Zhang brothers' small courtyard with gifts of cigarettes and alcohol.
Zhang Tengyun and his wife have retired and are at home taking care of the children and doing the housework.
"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you are at home."
"Da Mao, this isn't a festival, what are you doing..."
Xu Damao ignored him, put the gift from the eldest brother on the table, and handed Zhang Tengyun a cigarette, "Eldest brother, did something happen in the second brother's unit?"
"Hey, it's only a matter of time. A few years ago, in order to accommodate the returning educated youth, a bunch of people squeezed into the recycling company as temporary workers. Well, now there are so many people collecting waste on their own that the recycling company can't afford to support so many people. So they started to vacate the staff. Ling Yun has more experience, but it seems that he is also among those to be vacated, but he can choose to retire early. I told him that he can retire early, but he has a complex about state-owned units in his heart. Look, I watched TV all night last night, and I didn't see him get up today. He is lying dead in the room."
"Big Brother, I'll go check on him. Mi and Sister-in-law are busy first."
"Hey, Damao, don't leave in a hurry today. Let's eat here at noon. It's been a while since we last met. Come have a drink."
"Okay, big brother."
Xu Damao carried another gift and entered the west wing. "Hey, hey, Second Brother, Second Brother, wake up."
Zhang Lingyun was dazed.
"Who are you, why are you slandering me? Second Brother, Second Brother, I am not Zhu Bajie."
Well, I've been confused by watching the TV series Journey to the West recently. This second brother is not that second brother.
"Lingyun, I'm Damao, so you've entered Journey to the West. Big Brother Wukong next door didn't come over to pull your big ears."
When Zhang Lingyun heard that it was Xu Damao who came, he quickly stood up and asked, "Damo, why are you here?"
"I can't find a drinking partner, and I heard that you're free, so I came to look for you. Get up, let's go to my brother's house for a drink at noon, and talk to you about work."
"Why, can you still arrange for my transfer now?"
"What's the point of transferring? Just apply for early retirement. If you want to work, you're not afraid that there won't be anyone capable enough. You can earn more than in a state-owned enterprise. Do you know the chef in our factory's canteen? I've eaten at his restaurant several times. He's the chef, He Yuzhu. If you ask him to go back to the steel mill as a cadre now, he won't take you back. Get up, wash your face, and let's talk in detail."
Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt like he was injected with stimulants. He quickly put on his clothes and pants, brushed his teeth under the kitchen faucet, wiped his face a few times, patted his butt dry with his hands, and came over to take the cigarette given by Xu Damao, then took the cigarette butt in Xu Damao's hand and lit it.
I moved two chairs to sit in the corridor at the entrance.
"Da Mao, what are the rules? You tell me, I'll listen to you."
"Second senior brother."
"Okay, you should call me by my name. I feel uncomfortable with calling you Second Brother. I'm really like Zhu Bajie, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating."
"Second brother, second sister-in-law is not at home?"
"I took my grandson to my father-in-law's house."
"So are Zhiming and Zhihong doing well at work?"
"They are young and educated, unlike me, who is rough and uneducated. In the end, the country doesn't care about us anymore, so we have to retire early and go home."
"You still have to. Retire early. What a good thing. The government hasn't said it won't care about you."
"With those few pensions, we can only live on them. We can only say that we don't starve to death."
"Brother, the situation is like this. One person cannot change the overall situation. Just let it go. It's not easy to make more money. I'll arrange it for you tomorrow. Just work hard to get the company's work done. Don't be the first to do anything. If you want to retire early, then retire early. If you want to work in the future, I'll take care of it. Do you think this is okay?"
"It's easy for you to say that. You yourself are an idle person."
"Brother, what I said is true. Didn't my son Huo Huo open a factory in Fangshan? The couple will return to China around July next year. The factory manager will definitely expand the factory. If you want to work, that's an option. But I don't want to arrange it this way for you, brother. I want you to be the boss directly. What are you willing to do?"
"Really? Don't fool me."
"Second brother, you haven't forgotten about the time when we secretly sold food together. When have I ever been unreliable? Just listen to me, it's absolutely right. Wait until the eldest sister-in-law has prepared the food, and then we will discuss with the eldest brother what to do next."
"Okay, it has to be you, Damao. Second brother will listen to you."
"Brother, how is Yanyun doing recently? Is the Sports Bureau all right?"
"She is a good girl. She is now a cadre in the Sports Bureau and a coach of the Wushu Team. Her nephews are also obedient. The couple lives a very comfortable life."
"Master, Master's wife, are you feeling well? Are you still living in Courtyard 86?"
"My parents have come to their senses now. They don't have to worry about food and drink, and they don't have to take care of the children anymore. They go for a walk every day. The old man has even fallen in love with raising birds. Every day he takes two bird cages to the park to exchange bird-raising experiences with a bunch of old bird-raising guys. It's fun to be old."
The lunch was quite sumptuous, with braised pork intestines, shredded lotus root in Beijing sauce, braised pork, peanuts, and vegetables, a total of ten dishes.
The wine was the Bamboo Leaf Green brought by Xu Damao.
"Brother, sister-in-law, and second brother, are you interested in opening a factory to make money? This idea was originally prepared for Huo Huo's father-in-law and his family, but now it seems that we can do it. Second brother is determined to make more money for the family business, so let's start this year."
"Da Mao, what project? Opening a factory requires a lot of money. How can ordinary people like us have so much money?" Zhang Tengyun was a little confused for a moment.
"Brother, brother, don't worry about the investment. I can handle it. As long as you contribute your manpower and effort to production and sales. Although it may be hard in the early stage, once the framework is set up, all that's left is shipping and collecting money. And it's not a small amount of money, it will definitely be a big profit."
Zhang Lingyun was very excited and wanted to hear what was going to happen next. "Da Mao, you talk and we're listening."
"As far as I know, the water quality in Pinggu, Huairou, Miyun, and even Mentougou around Kyoto is very good. Let's choose an area with convenient transportation and favorable policies to build a mineral water factory. After filtering and cleaning the water, we will bottle it and sell it to stations, docks, and scenic spots. It will definitely be popular. As long as there are a lot of people, we will sell our products."
"Ah? Selling water? How much can you get from it?"
Zhang Lingyun suddenly wilted, as if his passion had encountered a Siberian blizzard.
