Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

"Then you don't need to choose items that are too old. Those from the Ming and Qing dynasties are enough."

After that, Boss Wang pointed to the porcelain on both sides of the store and said, "You can pick any of these. As long as they are porcelain, take any you like."

Hearing this, Yang Xue and Su Chen looked around and selected some porcelain that they liked. Since the house was not big, the number of pieces to choose from was not too large.

Boss Wang took a look and said with a smile.

"You really have good taste. These are the most valuable Ming and Qing dynasty items I have here."

"How much does all this cost in total?" Su Chen asked.

Boss Wang gestured with his finger.

"If it's fifty thousand, it's really not expensive."

Su Chen knew that antiques were usually priced very high, so even though the offer was jaw-dropping, he still nodded in agreement.

"It's not 50,000, it's 5,000," Boss Wang corrected.

This sentence surprised both Su Chen and Yang Xue, after all, these were real stuff.

"For your father's sake, this is the purchase price. Just take it. I'll only make a small profit of a thousand."

Boss Wang said this casually while smoking.

Yang Xue couldn't help blushing when she saw that she was enjoying this preferential price because of her father. "Thank you, Boss Wang."

Su Chen accepted the affection and did not refuse.

There is no need to be humble at this time. Since the boss is willing to sell at this price, it means there is still profit.

Boss Wang was quite surprised by Su Chen's attitude and handed him a string of copper coins.

"This string of copper coins is the Five Emperors' Coins. Holding it will bring you good luck."

"Since you want to buy my goods, I'll give you this string as a free gift."

……

Su Chen took the copper coin and put it in his pocket without seeing anything special about it. He paid the money happily, wrote down the delivery address, and walked out of the store with Yang Xue again.

"I owe Uncle Wang a big favor this time." Yang Xue muttered in a low voice.

Su Chen smiled and touched her head, "Interpersonal relationships are built by helping each other. He gave us a discount today. When he needs help in the future, I will repay this favor."

After hearing these words, Yang Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, the two continued to date, and at the same time, the news that the steel mill was expanding its recruitment quickly spread throughout the city.

After Su Chen informed Assistant Zhang about the expansion of worker recruitment, the latter quickly posted the notice.

During this period of peak layoffs, when most northern factories were laying off employees, only the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was still actively recruiting.

More importantly, the welfare benefits provided by the Red Star Steel Mill were so high that the news spread quickly throughout the city as if it had wings.

Normally, factories would pay a maximum of 30 yuan per month to fitters, but the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill offered a basic salary of 40 yuan, plus additional piece-rate bonuses.

When the news came out, all the laid-off workers rushed to sign up.

Such a good opportunity is rare. If you come a step later, you may lose the chance. Therefore, the workers are trying their best to enter the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Even in the most glorious days of the Red Star Steel Mill, there had never been such a grand occasion.

After Assistant Zhang issued the notice according to Su Chen's instructions, he never expected that so many workers would respond positively.

Even though the cement road in front of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had been widened, it still seemed very narrow with all the laid-off workers coming to apply for jobs.

To avoid a situation that got out of control, the factory gates were forced to close to prevent a large number of unemployed people from rushing in. Assistant Zhang stood in the office building and looked down, and was shocked to see the bustling crowd.

He had originally expected a large number of applicants, but he did not expect so many - almost all the unemployed workers in the entire city came over.

According to rough estimates, the number of people even exceeded the number of employees in the factory.

Assistant Zhang looked into the distance, but he still couldn't see the end of the waiting line until his eyes turned red.

The factory security guard was startled by this sudden scene and repeatedly shouted through a loudspeaker to remind the workers to line up in order and register one by one.

Despite some confusion at the beginning, it wasn't long before the enthusiastic and hopeful workers lined up in long queues and wrote down their names and personal expertise for registration.

To deal with this situation, Assistant Zhang hurriedly arranged for the Finance Department to urgently produce more application forms to ensure that all unemployed people could complete the registration smoothly.

The news of the crowded situation at the Red Star Steel Mill soon reached the leaders of the Municipal Labor Bureau.

"The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has performed so well. What Director Su did has really solved many of our problems!" The leader of the Labor Bureau was overjoyed and clapped his hands in praise.

The impact of the wave of layoffs has left a large number of unemployed people homeless, which has made the city leaders worried day and night. Now the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has provided a perfect solution.

The leader listened to the report happily and was in a very good mood.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has done a truly outstanding job, solving the city's employment problem and bringing great hope to the city.

At this moment, a diplomat from the Camel Country was returning home by boat.

Because he successfully introduced kerosene tanks manufactured by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to support the domestic war and achieved a decisive victory, the diplomat not only continued to retain his original consular position but was also promoted to head of diplomacy.

The main purpose of this return is to sign a bilateral trade agreement with Suchen on behalf of his country.

At the same time, out of gratitude and personal respect, he also brought a personal gift to Suchen.

If it weren't for the gas tanks made by Su Chen, their country would never have been able to win the local conflict. And he himself would not have been able to be promoted from the position of consul to the high position of head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

All this is thanks to the gas cylinders produced by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The consul of Camel Country was eager to return by boat, wanting to return to Sijiu City as soon as possible to sign a trade agreement with Su Chen. He wondered if Su Chen's steel mill had produced more gas cylinders during his absence. Through actual combat verification, these gas cylinders not only had a destructive power beyond his imagination, but also had satisfactory actual results.

Once the fearless soldiers encountered the gas tanks, they ran away faster than rabbits. If it weren't for the power of the gas tanks, the Camel Kingdom would probably not have won this victory.

Looking at the tranquil sea, his thoughts had already flown back to the future meeting scene.

At this time, in China, Su Chen's job fair was going smoothly. Assistant Zhang walked into the office and reported to Su Chen. "Director, this time according to your request, we have recruited several thousand suitable workers, and the labor department invites you to attend a meeting."

Assistant Zhang still feels a little scared when he recalls the crowded crowd at the recruitment site.

If the factory was not large and crowded, and the security department was not diligent enough, the laid-off workers who came for the interview might have caused chaos.

Fortunately, there were security guards maintaining order, and Assistant Zhang temporarily mobilized all financial personnel to provide support, which relieved some of the pressure.

Even so, it took a long time just to enter the information.

Once completed, they worked overtime to screen the eligible candidates.

Su Chen particularly emphasized the need for people with work experience, or at least someone who is relatively young.

Because there were too many applicants, Assistant Zhang could only select a few thousand people in a short period of time and report to Su Chen.

Recruitment work is very tiring. Assistant Zhang didn't expect to feel his arms tired and weak just after recording resumes for an entire afternoon.

The writing skills of some job seekers are also worrying. They only know their names and cannot even fill in their professional skills.

All of this was done with the help of Assistant Zhang.

Fortunately, this group is older, so the problem for young applicants is not so serious. Not long after the recruitment activity ended, a clerk from the labor department called.

He wanted to communicate directly with Suchen, but since Suchen was away at work and not present, the clerk informed Assistant Zhang of the relevant matters over the phone.

"As for recruitment, you no longer have to follow up in person. You can recruit new employees regularly to ensure the vitality and innovation of the factory continues."

Regarding Su Chen, Assistant Zhang added: "The Ministry of Labor asked you to attend the meeting. Can you tell me the specific content?"

"I heard that you will be awarded the title of an outstanding private entrepreneur."

Assistant Zhang relayed.

Assistant Zhang recalled the content and when he heard the news, he was sincerely happy for the factory director.

An outstanding person like the factory director deserves the honor of "Outstanding Private Entrepreneur". He thought that he would remind Su Chen to change his clothes when the time comes.

However, Assistant Zhang thought that Su Chen was still an ordinary worker and probably had not prepared clothes for such occasions.

So, Assistant Zhang wanted to remind him, but finally gave up the idea.

He was worried that his reminder would make Su Chen unhappy.

"Please reply to them and tell them that I will participate."

"Then please help me arrange a car. I need to go to the Changhong Tractor Factory. Now the factory is under my name."

Su Chen thought about it and decided that it was time to go and see the tractor factory.

Although the merger has been completed, no specific production plan has been arranged yet. Su Chen plans to leave after finishing the things at hand.

Otherwise, the gift to Colonel Kara could not be delivered on time. Assistant Zhang immediately started to arrange a car.

During this period, the driver of the special car prepared by the steel rolling mill for the factory director was relatively idle, because most of the time Su Chen was taking a ride with Yang Xue.

Or he would choose to walk home to think about things. This time, the driver finally received the task notification and was very excited.

As the factory prospered, the drivers became proud of it.

But since he had not received any orders to drive recently, he was worried that Su Chen was going to fire him.

When he received the task this time, he was full of enthusiasm and ready to do a great job.

It was a bit far from the Changhong Tractor Factory, and Yang Xue had picked me up last time. This time I had to ask the driver from the company to go with me.

Fortunately, Su Chen had a clear idea of ​​the route.

I was worried that the factory driver didn't know the route, but I just mentioned "Changhong Tractor Factory" and he said yes.

"I'm very familiar with that place. Don't worry, Director. Just sit tight!"

So the steel rolling mill driver drove Su Chen to the Changhong Tractor Factory.
