Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

No one will be spared.

For a long time, he had been extremely fed up with the scum in the courtyard, but he had been unable to find a suitable opportunity to completely get rid of them. Now, the materials in his hands were simply a perfect opportunity to take these people down in one fell swoop.

But he decided not to attend the meeting yet and let them wait anxiously.

He also wanted to wait for the security department to arrive first, in case someone was desperate and needed to be dealt with.

At this moment, Xu Damao was exercising the powers of deputy director in his office, occasionally slipping away to other posts to slack off, and occasionally admiring some beautiful female employees in the factory.

Xu Damao was very unhappy because his wife was unable to give birth to children; now looking at the young female employees around him, he felt a little better, but he still believed that it was the women's own problem and could not vent his anger on them.

Just when he was enjoying all this, someone suddenly came and said that a meeting should be held immediately.

"What does Su Chen mean by this? Holding meetings every day, is it just to satisfy his own management **?"

Although Xu Damao was full of resentment, he still did not dare to neglect it and had to follow others to the conference room to attend the party.

After all, being the second-in-command in the factory is just that.

On the other side, Liu Haizhong and Director Li also received an emergency meeting notice.

They were full of questions as to why this emergency meeting was needed, and even speculated whether it might be news of early salary payment, which made them even more excited.

But Sha Zhu didn't think as much as the others. He was still busy with the things at hand at his normal pace.

He was giving orders in the kitchen when he was suddenly called away, feeling a little annoyed.

"Another meeting. All I do is attend meetings all day. I really don't know what to talk about."

"I don't know how long this meeting will take. It's almost time for dinner, and it will delay my private work."

Sha Zhu complained in his heart, but no emotion could be seen on his face.

He smiled, wiped his hands on his apron, and said to the messenger, "Got it, I'll be right there."

"You guys, hurry up and cut the vegetables. I'll be back to continue.

If it's too late, it's up to you. Remember what you did today?"

When the disciples heard this, they nodded in agreement.

Once Sha Zhu left, they relaxed a lot.

With this chef who has extremely high cooking skills around me, everything I do feels stressful.

Once a mistake is made, there will be a severe reprimand.

Lately, in order to free up time for his own work, he has become increasingly demanding of his apprentices.

In the past, only apprentices with poor skills would be scolded, but now they will be punished if they are not satisfied with the performance.

In that era, apprentices were almost always at the mercy of their masters, and even if they felt dissatisfied, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Seeing Sha Zhu leave the cafeteria, the workers in the kitchen all breathed a sigh of relief.

The group gathered outside the conference room and found that most of the people there were management staff. They roughly guessed what was going on.

"It would be good if Su Chen gave advance notice before paying the salary, but he has to be so secretive."

The second uncle smiled, thinking that the young and energetic Su Chen was just trying to show off his authority.

After all, young people always lack experience.

"All the management is here, except for the workshop director, who is nowhere to be seen. I don't know what they are going to discuss."

Director Li thought secretly and looked around.

Sha Zhu was unwilling to wait outside, so he pushed the door open first.

I have some private work to deal with later, so I don't have the spare time to waste here.

He was worried that the meeting would take too long and he would have to find an excuse to slip out.

Sha Zhu was thinking about his own things and had no intention of caring about what other people were thinking.

Seeing his look, Xu Damao couldn't help but spit in a low voice:

"He's so arrogant, he really needs to be punished."

If Xu Damao was not unable to beat Sha Zhu, he would have to give him a good beating.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu is just a chef. If he were to do another job, he would have to be taught a lesson sooner or later.

Seeing Sha Zhu enter first, Xu Damao followed closely behind.

No matter what, he couldn't let this guy get the upper hand. The years of grudge between the two meant that even if Xu Damao couldn't gain any benefits, he would at least make the other party lose some points.

Soon several people entered the meeting room one after another.

After everyone went in, they found that Su Chen had not arrived yet, so they all found a seat to sit down.

Sha Zhu simply crossed his legs and put his feet on the conference table.

Even though this is the new factory manager, who is about the same age as Banggeng, he has long been accustomed to such an indulgent attitude. What's more, Su Chen is not present at this time, so he thinks comfort is more important.

"Silly Zhu, put your stinky feet down now."

Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu's legs with dissatisfaction, puffing his beard and glaring.

"It's none of your business. I can put it wherever I want."

Sha Zhu retorted contemptuously, his feet still on the conference table, swaying a little.

Seeing his arrogant look, Xu Damao frowned even more tightly.

"How rude! You are just like a second-rate person. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Okay, okay, everyone stop talking."

The second uncle stepped forward to mediate with a headache.

I don’t know why Xu Damao and Sha Zhu are so incompatible. They always quarrel with each other whenever they meet.

As soon as the second uncle spoke, Xu Damao thought about it for a while and decided to stop talking about the possible salary payment.

A few people sitting in the conference room felt a little bored, and when they saw that Su Chen had not arrived yet, they started chatting.

"Yesterday I saw him mysteriously enter the workshop, saying he got a blueprint, but I don't know what he was going to do."

The second uncle spoke first.

“I think he can’t wait to make some mischief.

They called us here today, I wonder what they are up to, could it be that they can’t pay our salaries?”

Xu Damao supported himself on the table with both hands and leaned forward to guess.

"It's only been a few days. Even if he was extravagant, he wouldn't have spent like this."

Director Li waved his hand and said.

"He's going to be finished sooner or later anyway. I just want to know if next month's salary can be paid on time."

Sha Zhu seemed a little irritated. He was a little short of money now and relied entirely on the salary from the factory.

"It is said that he has already found workers to make gas tanks. I don't know where the drawings he got yesterday came from, but today the workers on the production line said that the gas tanks have been made."

Xu Damao just went to the workshop and heard some rumors.

After all, he was a member of the factory management, so the workers did not avoid him.

"Gas tank? This guy is really hot-headed and dares to do anything."

"There's no way this thing can be sold."

Everyone shook their heads.

Even though they didn't know much about production, they knew that there was no market demand for gas cylinders in the old city.

However, Director Li became somewhat excited after hearing this.

He originally didn't believe that Su Chen had any good ideas, but looking at his current actions, he might really be able to find a way to save the steel mill.

"Maybe I can use my connections to promote the gas cylinders he produces and make some money from it."

Director Li pondered in his mind, but he did not say it out loud.

Everyone else sneered at Su Chen, only he had some hope in Su Chen.

For him, Su Chen’s celebration with others was not important; what he cared about was making more money.

They arrived early and the door to the conference room was wide open.

Soon after, several more managers came in.

Soon, the entire conference room was almost full of people.

If we want to gather all the managers of the steel mill in one place for a meeting, it would be really crowded.

Compared to Sha Zhu and others who occasionally cause trouble, other managers always work diligently and never get involved in any tricks behind the scenes.

Compared to Sha Zhu and his gang, these managers are even less willing to cause trouble.

The conference room became increasingly crowded, and after the last management staff member pushed the door open and closed it, the air in the room became extremely turbid, making it difficult to breathe.

At this moment, Sha Zhu did not put his legs on the conference table as he did in the past, but squeezed in the corner together with Xu Damao and others.

In front of so many people, no matter how arrogant he was, he had to appear to be restrained on the surface.

"Why hasn't Su Chen come yet? Didn't he say he wanted to have a meeting?"

someone complained.

"How long do we have to wait before it starts? It's really overwhelming."

Another voice sounded.

“Why not use the large conference room next door instead of squeezing into this small space?”

At this moment, the door suddenly opened and Su Chen walked in from outside, followed by the director of the security department.

"Why are even the security department people here?"

Questions were raised among the crowd.

"Isn't today's meeting all about dealing with financial issues? Could there be any safety risks?"

Everyone was wondering, in this era, the role of the security department is almost like that of the police, and they have a lot of equipment.

Normally, you wouldn't see them appear, so when everyone saw the director of the security department appear here, they felt a little confused.

Su Chen walked straight to the front of the conference room, holding a pile of A4 papers in his hand and slapped them on the table: "I called everyone together today mainly to discuss two things."

He looked around the conference room, feeling secretly delighted.

Once everyone is together, it is convenient to solve the problem at one time.

The conversations with several other managers, such as Sha Zhu, did not elicit a response from them. They arrived later and chose to hide aside and pretend to be invisible.

Su Chen seemed not to notice this scene. He just raised his head and looked at Xu Damao and others sitting on the other side.

“The first thing to mention is why the factory is having so much trouble operating.”

Then, Su Chen continued, "Not only do we lack sales channels for our products, but there are also 'parasites' in the factory."

Then he picked up the document on the table and pointed to its contents.

“This records the cost details of logistics procurement.

Recently, the price of each egg purchased by the restaurant is 2 yuan, and even a piece of garlic is worth 1 yuan. "

When it comes to this, Director Li's face suddenly turns pale.

Then he also mentioned the inventory situation.

"According to what I have learned, we should have had 100 tons of steel plates in the last quarterly report, but in reality, we only found that there were only 98 tons left. In addition, the food loss in the cafeteria has reached %, which means that almost half of the vegetables purchased every time are rotten."

As Su Chen listed the facts one by one, the expressions of Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Director Li and Liu Haizhong became increasingly ugly.

Although he thought he had done it all safely, he never expected that Su Chen would reveal it all.

In fact, it was because we had always acted cautiously that we were able to find loopholes in the factory's account audit and carry out our activities.

Unfortunately, this was a misstep.

After saying all this, Su Chen threw the A4 paper in his hand back onto the table again.

"First of all, it's you, Xu Damao."

He looked at the person while calling his name, only to see him lower his head to avoid his gaze.

Then, "And you, He Yuzhu."

Although Sha Zhu still looked indifferent, after all, as the chef he had the final say over matters in the kitchen.

The last sentence falls on "Liu Haizhong"

, I saw that his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and dared not utter a word.

"Li Aihua."

Director Li was shocked when he heard his full name being called out.

He was in a state of confusion and could only pretend to be calm and act as if nothing had happened.

Su Chen read out the names of several people involved in the case one by one. Seeing their different reactions, he knew that these people still had a lucky mentality.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"That's impossible. How could they secretly sell the factory's supplies?"

"It seems like this canteen is a great place to make money. Even eggs that cost two dollars are profited from. They really make a lot of money."

Suddenly, the whole conference room was filled with discussions. The other management members quietly stepped back a few steps, leaving a clear space, leaving only Li Aihua and others standing there.

Everyone else is disdainful of those who erode the company's profits.

Even though their education level is limited, they know that collective interests should belong to everyone and no one dares to steal them without permission.

Moreover, many managers have long been fed up with Director Li and others because they are always busy and not doing their jobs properly.

If Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu were not capable, they would have been ostracized long ago.

Even though Su Chen did not show evidence to everyone, these people were not stupid and they could see any clues.

These people who originally appeared to be so bright and brilliant are now doing such despicable things.

"We are now in the era of a market economy, not a planned economy anymore. Prices fluctuate erratically and are no longer the same as before."

Director Li was unwilling to wear that dishonorable hat and hurried to explain himself.

Even though he did do that, he had a chance to get rid of the stain before there was solid evidence.

Otherwise, his future would be uncertain.

However, although Director Li tried to buy some leeway for himself, his explanation failed to convince anyone.

No one would believe that the prices out there would be so volatile that two eggs would cost two dollars?

Director Li's remarks immediately drew laughter from the people around him.

“It’s just so cheeky.”

"Two yuan for an egg, you think we are easy to fool."

"Director Li Aihua, it's fine if you accept bribes, but please don't treat us all like fools!"

Everyone was talking at once, and Director Li was so ashamed that his face turned purple.

The other management thought it was just a routine meeting and expected some important development discussions. The previous Director Yang had also held such meetings and often talked about general content, which they were very disgusted with.

Fortunately, Su Chen is a pragmatic person, so no one was absent this time.

Unexpectedly, the meeting turned out like this. Director Li has always had a bad reputation, and many people are waiting to see the day when he is out.

"Director, this is the data we collected last week. You can take a look at the market situation last week. The price of eggs was only one dime each, and that refers to high-quality local eggs.

If it is a normal one, only five cents is enough to buy it. "

"What I'm talking about here is the retail price, not the wholesale price."

"Two coins for an egg? Who would believe such a ridiculous thing?"

Su Chen tapped the table with his fingers and gave a sarcastic smile.

Director Li's dying struggle was in full view, and in order to fulfill his wish, Su Chen let him die happily.

"Su Chen, you have to have evidence for what you say. I am indeed the purchasing manager, but our factory has so many eggs, and the supply is not stable. It is reasonable to charge a little more. Isn't this normal?"

However, Director Li's desperate defense seemed extremely unbearable to others.

"Forget it, Director Li. My old hens can't even sell their eggs. If you offer me two yuan each, would you still be willing to take it?"

"You old thief, your true colors are now revealed!"

Suddenly, the conference room became noisy, and everyone was disgusted with Director Li's behavior.
