The furniture factory is a major event that is under the pressure of the imperial city government. Now that the factory has suddenly been taken over, Xi Changshan doesn't even have the mind to sit for one more minute. protocol.

Mrs. Xi glared at him: "If you don't eat Zhen Zhen, you still have to eat, there's still a long way to go, you two will go back to work after dinner."

Xi Changshan had no choice but to hold back his temper, and told Zhen Zhen about the situation of the furniture factory in detail again, until he was ready to eat, and then he emptied out and took a sip of water.

The nanny served the prepared dishes one by one, and several children in the family also helped with the bowls and chopsticks. Just as Zhen Zhen was going to serve the rice, she saw Shang Qingran took the rice spoon and said with a very enthusiastic smile: "Zhen Zhen Sister Zhen, sit down and take a break, just leave this little thing to me."

Although Zhen Zhen is seeing this little girl for the second time, but the person who used to be lazy to laugh at herself before, suddenly became so enthusiastic about herself today, Zhen Zhen's first thought was: This little girl is thinking about it again What is bad water?

Although Shang Qingran wanted to take care of the food and serve it herself, Zhen Zhen didn't want to sit and wait for the meal. Staring at Shang Qingran, for fear of her poisoning or something.

It turns out that Zhen Zhen thought too much, Shang Qingran put the rice obediently, and sat down next to Zhen Zhen: "Sister Zhen Zhen, can I be next to you? The last time I saw you, I felt Looking at you is very kind, you know that I am the only girl in my family, and seeing you is like seeing my own sister."

When Zhen Zhen heard this, she subconsciously raised her head and looked at the two girls in the Xi family. Xi Changshan's daughter, Xi Yinuo, looked up at Shang Qingran with a mocking smile. It's like I didn't hear it at all. Zhen Zhen looked at this little girl with a dark expression on her face, next to your two cousins ​​sat next to you, do you think that you have not offended enough people by ignoring them like this?

Unable to understand what this little girl was thinking, Zhen Zhen only smiled lightly and turned to talk to Xi Junjie, who was on the side, Shang Qingran saw that her gesture of sympathy had not been answered, there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes, and she felt a little resentful in her heart last time. When Xi Sumei offended people, she was severely offended. But thinking about her current living situation, Shang Qingran felt that she still had to fawn on this big fat sheep. Now the Xi family, from the old lady to several uncles, are lukewarm to him, and originally wanted to rely on them to get rid of poverty and become rich. The idea does not seem to be easy to implement. But this Li Mingzhen is different. She is young and a girl. As long as she sweetly coaxes her and doesn't worry about her being indifferent to herself, then I am afraid that she will be able to take the initiative to spend money on herself without having to say more. From the birthday gift I gave last time, I knew that Li Mingzhen was a generous person.

When the old lady announced the meal, Shang Qingran showed a sweet smile again, and put the quick-cooked peppercorns into Zhen Zhen's bowl: "Sister Zhen Zhen, I think this is very delicious, you can try it."

Zhen Zhen glanced at her, although she didn't know what her idea was, but looking at her overly enthusiastic smiling face, she knew that this girl had other thoughts hidden in her heart, so she quickly showed an alienating smile: "Thank you, I'll just clip it myself."

Xi Yinuo glanced at Shang Qingran with a half-smile but not a smile, stretched out his hand and took a navel-shaped hairy crab and put it in Zhen Zhen's bowl: "Sister Zhen Zhen, you are my future sister-in-law, which is equivalent to our old Xi family's own. People, don't be polite when you come home." Without waiting for Zhen Zhen to thank her, she took another crab and handed it to Shang Qingran: "You are a guest, but you dare not bother you to entertain our family, you can eat it yourself. already."

Shang Qingran's little face was so young, no matter how scheming she was, she couldn't hold back what others said on her face, and she looked at the crab in the bowl and tears were about to fall out. The old lady glanced at Xi Yinuo and knocked on the table: "Eat."

"Hey." Xi Yinuo took a crab and broke it apart, took out the crab roe with a spoon and handed it to Mrs. Xi: "Milk, you eat the crab roe."

Old Mrs. Xi glanced at her and poured some ginger vinegar into the bowl: "Eat more and talk less." Xi Yinuo stuck out her tongue, then squeezed her eyes at Zhen Zhen, and dismantled the crabs to eat.

Zhen Zhen didn't have much interest in the little girls' competitiveness. She took advantage of Xi Changshan's free time to inquire more about the government's policies on enterprises and restrictions on exports. Zhen Zhen herself has taken the Economics Department as an elective, and the questions she asks are also very professional. Although Shang Qingran tried her best to make her presence felt in front of Zhen Zhen, she couldn't even understand what Zhen Zhen said, let alone interrupt.

After eating, Shang Qingran became more and more frustrated and just wanted to chat with Zhen Zhen about the latest movie, but before he could speak, he saw Xi Changshan and said, "Ming Zhen, if there is nothing else, let's go to see the factory first. ."

Zhen Zhen's thoughts were also on this factory recently, she immediately stood up when she heard the words: "Then I will trouble the uncle." Xi Junjie also got up: "I'll go with Zhen Zhen, I'll take her home after seeing the factory. Safer." Zhen Zhen nodded, and after saying goodbye to the Xi family, she followed Xi Changshan to the furniture factory.

Zhen Zhen has seen the whole picture of the furniture factory with her consciousness before, this time she mainly understands the management structure, accounts, inventory and sales channels of the furniture factory. At that time, the sales channels could basically be ignored here. The factory had not sold a set of furniture for more than half a year, otherwise it would not have reached the point where it is today.

Zhen Zhen and Xi Junjie stayed in the factory until 6 o'clock in the evening before they read the last account page, rubbed their eyes, Zhen Zhen stood up and smiled politely to Xi Changbo and factory director Wang Xuelin who were waiting on the side: "Today, please trouble Xi. The mayor and factory director Wang have been with me all the time, and it's getting late, so why don't I be the host and invite everyone to take a seat."

Xi Changbo shook his head: "Today, you have read the accounts for the afternoon, so you should go back and have a good rest. We will gather here at 8 o'clock tomorrow and sign the transfer agreement."

"That's good." Zhen Zhen responded accordingly, reached out and shook hands with Wang Xuelin: "Director Wang, see you tomorrow."

Wang Xuelin's palms were sweaty, he quickly wiped his body, and then shook hands with Li Mingzhen. Looking at this girl with delicate facial features and a somewhat immature face, he felt a little uneasy. He knew that due to his poor management, the large state-owned furniture factory could only be sold to individuals, but he also hoped that Li Mingzhen would be able to sell it to individuals. Continue to be the director of this factory, otherwise he really doesn't know what he can do.

Looking at Li Mingzhen with a polite smile in front of him, Wang Xuelin asked tentatively, "I wonder what your thoughts on the operation of the factory will be after you take over the factory?"

Zhen Zhen smiled: "This is not in a hurry to discuss, after taking over the workers' salaries will be paid first."

Wang Xuelin's face was full of shame when he heard this: "I'm useless, I have no food for the workers to follow me." Zhen Zhen smiled politely but didn't comfort him, because it was a fact.

Early the next morning, relevant leaders in the city and district went to the furniture factory. Zhen Zhen signed agreements with the government and paid the transfer fee according to the agreed amount. The furniture factory was officially owned by Zhen Zhen.

After sending the government people away, Zhen Zhen looked at the dilapidated plaque of Zhenhua Furniture Factory at the door and gave the first order: "Pay wages."

Upon hearing this, the employees who had been waiting for news in the workshop immediately cheered. The original anxiety disappeared in an instant, followed by overjoyed mood and recognition of the new factory director.

Although there were still some formalities to be completed, Zhen Zhen felt that getting the approval of the employees was the first priority, so she called the entire factory to the auditorium, Zhen Zhen stood in front and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, my name is Li Mingzhen. , and will be the person in charge of our furniture factory in the future. I know that in the past period of time, the poor management of the factory has caused everyone to have a difficult time, but I believe that this situation will not happen again in the future. Okay, let’s stop gossip, let’s first Let the accountant pay everyone's wages, okay?"

"Okay!" The deafening cheers from the audience, and the eyes of the employees staring at the accountant turned green.

The accountant held the account book with a bitter face, looked at Zhen Zhen but didn't know what to call her: "Li... Li..."

"Just call me Director Li." Zhen Zhen replied.

"Ah, Director Li, what, we have less than 100 yuan left in our account, which is really not enough to pay wages."

Zhen Zhen nodded, turned her head to look at him: "I've already prepared." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhen Zhen took out ten stacks of Great Unity from her bag, and took out a thousand-yuan change, Hearing the gasping sound below the stage, Zhen Zhen pushed the money in front of the accountant: "Remember to do the accounting when you go back, and pay the rest of the salary to the account first, so that the business can operate normally."

The accountant quickly ordered the money, the office director named the workers and instructed the workers to line up, waited for the accountant to count the total, and checked the amount with Zhen Zhen. Seeing that there was no problem with the total, the workers were paid one by one.

The first few people who received wages were the old masters in the factory, after they received their wages, Zhen Zhen called them and Director Wang aside separately: "I saw yesterday that there are dozens of sets without patterns and carvings in our factory warehouse. The furniture, I want to change them to the kind of furniture that imitates the carvings of the Republic of China or the Qing Dynasty?"

More than a dozen old masters looked at each other and said, "It's okay to add carvings, but it may not be the most traditional style."

"It doesn't matter, I saw that our furniture is made of good materials, and you are all masters, and you know more about it than I do. You put more effort into making the furniture as refined as possible. I will give you 10% of the carefully carved furniture in addition to the salary." After looking at them, Zhen Zhen said solemnly, "Therefore, there must be no problems with this quality of carving."

More than a dozen old masters have been working on flat-panel furniture for more than ten years, and they are almost exhausted. This time, they not only let them do their own handicrafts, but also give them extra commissions. Suddenly their eyes lit up, and they repeatedly promised: "Factory director, don't worry, we've been relying on craftsmanship for our entire lives, and we won't ruin our jobs."

Director Wang stood aside and looked very tangled: "Director Li, we should think that serving the people is the main thing, and we shouldn't think about making money."

Zhen Zhen looked at him and smiled: "Who said that if you serve the people, you can't make money? If you can't even sell it like you did before, is that called serving the people? That's a waste of national resources." Zhen Zhen deliberately amplifies her voice: "Now the country calls on us to develop the economy rapidly, if the enterprise does not make money, it can only be eliminated in the reform, so on the basis of serving the people, we must create benefits, we must let the employees Earn high wages, and we want to make life better for everyone."

"Director Li is right." The workers had had enough days when they couldn't even pay their wages, and immediately raised their arms and shouted in response to what Li Mingzhen said, Zhen Zhen glanced at Wang Xuelin and shook her head gently: "Director Wang , your thinking should change."

The workers received half a year's wages and it was a lot of money. Zhen Zhen guessed that they didn't have the heart to work, so she just gave the workers a holiday today, and let them save money for those who should save money, and buy meat for those who should go home. Celebrate well. Leaving a few responsible personnel in the factory, Zhen Zhen arranged a series of tasks. One was to change the name of the factory to Tengda Furniture Factory to make a plaque and hang it up again. The factory transforms the inventory, and the third is to let the purchase go to the Beicha Hydrolysis Plant to purchase the board, which is used to produce board furniture that is more acceptable to the general public.

After a series of orders were issued, Wang Xuelin was a little uneasy when he saw Zhen Zhen's aggressive look: "Is Director Li coming to work tomorrow?"

"I have something to do. It is estimated that I won't be able to come back in half a month. During this time, you guys have supported the factory, and you will do things as I said, and I will talk about the rest when I come back." Zhen Zhen glanced at her watch, He stood up and said, "What else do you do?"

Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be kicked out, but it seemed that Li Mingzhen did not intend to move himself, so he immediately relaxed: "Director Li, don't worry, we promise to follow your arrangement."

Zhen Zhen nodded, and after leaving the factory, she went back to the courtyard to say hello to her family, and was going to invite a few people to come over. Some of these people are celebrities that Zhen Zhen saw on the news in her previous life, and some are old craftsmen discovered by her consciousness during this time.

Nowadays, to do business seriously, many things have to follow the path. Although Zhen Zhen teleported to any place, for the sake of safety, she still bought a train ticket, but she did not board the train.

Zhen Zhen teleported to a county in Hubei, she came here to find a thirty-year-old young man named Sun Rende. During the movement, Sun Rende, who was only 20 years old, opened a wood carving factory with 30 workers with a few hundred yuan from the sale of his ancestral home. The Export Commodities Fair received orders for 20 sets of carved boxes and cages, amounting to tens of thousands of yuan. It's a pity that at that time, Sun Rende was criticized as a model of the new bourgeoisie just after he had tasted the joy of success. Now Sun Rende has nothing to say, even in his thirties, he didn't even talk about his daughter-in-law. Even if the former employees were willing to open a factory with him, he couldn't afford their wages.

Zhen Zhen entered the space, except for the rest of reading and eating, she spent most of the time watching Sun Rende, until a few days later, when the train from the imperial capital to Hubei should arrive at the station, Zhen Zhen came out of the space.

Taking out a roast duck, a roast chicken and a bag of steamed buns from the space, Zhen Zhen knocked on the door of Sun Rende's house.

"Who is it?" Sun Rende put down the knife in his hand and stood up.

"Is Director Sun at home?" Zhen Zhen shouted.

When Sun Rende heard the name, he was in a daze, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What is Director Sun, there was no Director Sun ten years ago." He walked to the door, and the sun suddenly shone in. , The pierced eyes are a little hard to open. After raising his head to block the sunlight and getting used to the outside light, Sun Rende saw a very beautiful girl standing at the door of his house.

"Who are you looking for?" Sun Rende embarrassedly hid his hands full of sawdust behind him, and smiled at Zhen Zhen uncomfortably: "Did you find the wrong person?"

Zhen Zhen looked at him with a smile: "You are Sun Rende, who used to be the director of the Dawo Woodware Factory?" Seeing Sun Rende nodded, Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, I'm looking for you, won't you invite me in?"

Sun Rende quickly stepped aside and invited Zhen Zhen to enter the room. Seeing that she was carrying the food in her hand, she quickly took out a table and two chairs from the room, and washed it with a rag to wipe it clean. Zhen sit down.

Zhen Zhen raised the chicken and duck in her hand and said naturally: "It's time for dinner, I just brought some cooked food, how about we eat and chat?"

Although I don't know why this beautiful girl came to my house, Sun Rende feels that he has nothing to be cared about now. Since he is here, he will treat him well, and he doesn't have to think too much about useless things. He went to the kitchen to wash a few dishes, tore up the chicken and duck and packed them up. Sun Rende went to the backyard to pick some fresh vegetables, fried two plates of garlic slices and served them up.

Zhen Zhen came here after eating, and because he didn't use his chopsticks, Sun Rende didn't encounter much meat and fishy food all these years. He smelled the smell of chicken and duck, so he let go of his throat and devoured a chicken leg and ate half a roast duck. , then looked up and asked, "What is the matter with you looking for me?"

"My name is Li Mingzhen. There is a furniture factory in Diyou. I would like to invite you to be the factory manager for me." Zhen Zhen looked at him and said seriously.

Sun Rende smiled sarcastically: "I have only been the director of the factory for more than a year, and now my family is penniless, so I'm not afraid of losing money if you invite me?"

Zhen Zhen smiled: "I asked you to be the factory manager because of your courage and your insight into the market. The orders you made at the Canton Fair are still talked about so far. As for how poor you are. Being poor doesn't matter."

Thinking of the glory of the year, a flash of nostalgia flashed on Sun Rende's face, and he couldn't help muttering: "It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time." Then he realized what he shouldn't have said, and looked at Zhen Zhen with some alertness. at a glance.

Zhen Zhen looked back at the house with no electrical appliances except for a pile of wood, and sighed softly: "Director Sun, you should read the news and newspapers, so that you will know that you are not born at the wrong time, but It was born in the best era of reform and entrepreneurship."

Three days later, Zhen Zhen took Sun Rende on the train with more than 20 carvers. All of these carvers gave up their iron rice bowls to start a business together with Sun Rende. After the factory became yellow, they no longer had serious jobs, and they have been living very well. hard. Sun Rende heard that Zhen Zhen wanted a craftsman, so he went from house to house to ask the employees of the year, some were willing to follow him to the imperial capital, and some were unwilling to leave home and refused Sun Rende's invitation.

However, Zhen Zhen was overjoyed to be able to invite more than 20 craftsmen back. After they returned to the factory, Zhen Zhen asked the director of the office to lead them to take a shower and shave their heads and arrange the dormitory. When the meeting was held the next day, Zhen Zhen directly announced the appointment of Sun Rende as the director of the furniture factory, taking full charge of everything in the furniture factory.

Although Li Mingzhen said when he invited Sun Rende back to be the factory manager, Sun Rende did not expect that Li Mingzhen would appoint him the next day. How much trust he had in him. Sun Rende's eyes were wet, and he only felt that his heart was surging and his blood was boiling.

After Sun Rende was appointed, he did not hold any meeting immediately, but went into the workshop to talk to each employee. After a few days, he could call out everyone's name familiarly and understand the categories they were good at, so he stepped in. things in the factory.

Zhen Zhen has been out of class for almost a month because of this factory. After she handed over the factory to Sun Rende, she went back to school to make up lessons. She was just worried that someone would bully the new factory manager. Every day, even during class, she observed the factory with consciousness situation in order to avoid any accident.

After more than a month passed peacefully, the first batch of renovated furniture was ready. Looking at the exquisite patterns and beautiful carvings, Sun Rende breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the quality passed the test, he would give this batch of furniture. The positioning of the sales direction will not be a problem. He plans to take this set of furniture to participate in this year's Canton Fair and export it to Hong Kong Island.

Zhen Zhen invited Sun Rende because of his smart brains, high market acumen, and daring to think and act. Only such a person can lead a business to success. After Sun Rende and Zhen Zhen reported it, they took two employees to Modu to find Modu Import and Export Company to negotiate a cooperation agreement. The finely crafted furniture in the factory was shipped to Modu as sample furniture.

Sun Rende was not in the factory, and Li Mingzhen only came once a month and a half. Wang Xuelin took advantage of this time to find a few colleagues who used to be leaders together for dinner at his home.

The room was dark and small, and Wang Xuelin asked his daughter-in-law to put the table in the courtyard. After drinking two glasses of wine, Wang Xuelin began to cry: "You said that I have been the director of the factory for so many years, but there is no credit and hard work, right? Why am I so dissatisfied that a foreigner is the director of the factory?"

When Deputy Director Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but echoed: "Yes, I'm not happy for a while, then Director Sun won't tell me and Deputy Director Liu no matter what he does, and I don't know who he is. Not trying to promote the people he brought in to squeeze us out."

When Liu Shucheng heard this, the smile on his face disappeared: "Old Zhang, you can't talk nonsense about this, our factory is now a personal factory, and people must have bought this factory to make more money, let's keep it in our own hands. The work is done well, and don’t think about such useless things.”

"Am I doing a bad job?" Wang Xuelin was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "Isn't the furniture like that in the past, just the two of them have to toss out flowers and export them, so I don't believe she can do it. I I heard that Director Sun used to enter the cowshed because of exporting furniture, so wait, he will have to enter again sooner or later."

"No, Old Wang, what did you want to say when you called us out this time?" Office Director Sun Yufeng glanced at Wang Xuelin: "I think you're not happy to be the chairman of the labor union?"

"Can I be happy?" Wang Xuelin poured a glass of wine into his mouth, his eyes were red: "I'm a good leader now, and now I'm a few leaders? I've been sitting in the office for more than a month, and I haven't given any to the workers. Find me, it's not obvious that you don't give me the right."

"Pharaoh, for the sake of our work together, I advise you to let go of your heart and don't think about rights and not rights." Sun Yufeng patted Wang Xuelin on the shoulder: "You used to have rights, but even the salary If we can't get it, what's the use? If Li Mingzhen, Sun Rende, etc. lead us to make more money and pay more wages, I would rather give him the power I have."

"Look at you only a few days ago, and their thoughts have been rotten by them." Wang Xuelin looked at him angrily: "You were not such a person in the past."

Sun Yufeng sneered: "You haven't experienced the days when your children can't pay school fees and can't eat meat, and I don't have such a high level of thinking. I know who pays me and I will listen to whoever says."

Sun Yufeng stood up and patted Wang Xuelin on the shoulder: "Pharaoh, look away, you will retire in a few years, why should you care about your useless things, don't you have a light on your face when the factory develops?"

Seeing Sun Yufeng staggering out, Wang Xuelin pointed at his back angrily and scolded: "This kid is too ignorant, if I hadn't promoted him back then, he would have been the director of the office, I haven't asked him anything yet. Well, he came to persuade me to come."

Liu Shucheng shook his head and also stood up: "President Wang, I'm a bit overwhelmed after drinking here. I'll go back to sleep first. You can calm down and go home early."

Wang Xuelin ignored him, picked up the wine cup and poured another glass: "Deputy Director Zhang, you can leave if you want."

"I'm not leaving, I'll accompany you to drink." Zhang Zhengzong ate a mouthful of food and began to vomit: "I don't like working under that kid either, I'm only in my early thirties, so why let him be a factory? Long? Just because he can go out and run? Not stable at all."

These words made Wang Xuelin's heart go. He raised his glass and touched Zhang Zhengzong's glass: "We can't let that kid take power, and while he's not at home, do you dare to make trouble with me?"

"Why are you making a fuss?" Zhang Zhengzong asked sullenly: "Liu Shucheng was right just now, but now the factory is personal, and whoever she wants to be the factory manager can be the factory manager, which is different from our past. ."

"But what if Sun Rende can't hold back the workers?" Wang Xuelin sneered: "Let's go back and find those old workers, as long as they make a fuss about their thoughts, then Sun Rende can't hold them back, and Li Mingzhen has to come here obediently. Please let us go."

"Can it be done?" Zhang Zhengzong asked hesitantly: "I see that those old masters have been working in full swing lately, and they are all like chicken blood. Can they listen to us?"

Wang Xuelin sneered: "Then Sun Rende brought a lot of craftsmen, then we said that he was going to let those people replace the old masters and squeeze them out of the factory. I don't believe they are not afraid."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Zhengzong nodded.

"Papapa..." A series of applause came, Wang Xuelin and Zhang Zhengzong raised their heads and found that Li Mingzhen was standing at the gate at an unknown time, and suddenly stood up with a pale face.

"Good idea." Zhen Zhen smiled sarcastically: "If you focus on how to develop the factory well, you won't be able to close down a large state-owned factory."

Seeing Wang Xuelin's pale face, Zhen Zhen shook her head: "To tell you the truth, my factory didn't plan to support idlers at first, but at that time I thought that you had been the factory manager for so many years, and it would not be good to let you go directly, That's why you were transferred to the position of the chairman of the labor union. It seems that I am a bit redundant. With a talent like Director Wang, I am sure that I can do a good job anywhere. "

"Are you trying to fire me?" Wang Xuelin looked at Zhen Zhen fiercely: "I don't agree, if you dare to fire me, I will go to the government to sue you."

"Sue me for what?" Zhen Zhen took out a tape recorder from under her feet, pressed the button, the tape started to turn, and Wang Xuelin's words for inciting trouble just now came out verbatim: "Tell me not to let you make trouble? Well, let's not talk about that useless anymore, are you two resigning yourself or want to be fired by me." Zhen Zhen turned off the tape recorder and put it on the ground, so she could watch the two of them at her leisure.

There was a ruthless look on Zhang Zhengzong's face: "I won't resign, and I don't admit what I just said." As he said that, he rushed towards Zhen Zhen, seeing that he wanted to grab the radio at Zhen Zhen's feet, Wang Xuelin saw this. The wine was also half awake, and also rushed over.

Zhen Zhen didn't even move, she raised her feet and kicked the two people who were jumping out, looking at the two people lying on the ground with nosebleeds on their faces, Zhen Zhen sneered: "I never lost a fight since I was a child. Pass."

Seeing the dissatisfied expressions of the two of them, Zhen Zhen walked over and stepped on one by one deep footprints: "Let me tell you one more thing, in the face of absolutely powerful strength, any conspiracy is a paper tiger, vulnerable to a single blow."
