Chapter 239: Trouble
After hearing what Zhang Jianguo said, Sun Xia's heart, which had just been burning with enthusiasm, completely cooled down. This was not okay, and that was not okay. Was she going to stay in the street factory for the rest of her life?
Sun Xia knows what street factories are like better than anyone else. She is still young and far from retirement. Although Sun Xia's education level is not high, she does not want to continue to live in mediocrity like this.
Sun Xia had originally thought well, and she would talk to Zhang Jianguo about it. Her husband was now successful, so it was natural for him to lend a hand to his wife. Besides, her requirements were not high. She just wanted to find a job that was better than the street factory, so that her life would have more meaning, and at the same time, she could earn more money for her family.
But ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel .
After Zhang Jianguo finished speaking, Sun Xia felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her and she was speechless for a moment.
"Is this how my life will be?" Sun Xia felt very upset. She hated herself for not studying hard. If she had a higher education, even a high school diploma would be fine! She wouldn't be like now, working in a street factory with those uncles and aunts, pasting paper boxes every day.
Many times, Sun Xia envied the young people working . Looking at their energetic appearance and then looking at herself, Sun Xia felt uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, tears couldn't help falling again. This time, Sun Xia was crying silently, feeling sad about her own uselessness.
"Why are you crying again?"
"Jianguo, I feel so useless, so useless..." Sun Xia threw herself into Zhang Jianguo's arms, and her tears instantly wet Zhang Jianguo's chest. Looking at his wife like this, Zhang Jianguo didn't know what to say. He could only comfort her softly.
"Xiao Xia, stop crying. If you keep crying you'll wake up the child and mom."
Sun Xia sniffed and tried hard to hold back her tears. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family and the mother of two children. Wouldn't it be so embarrassing if the children saw her like this?
"You are right. The factory is not that good. You have been wronged for so many years." Zhang Jianguo stroked Sun Xia's long hair and said softly, "But the fleet is different from other places. I am the team leader. Since I am in this position, I must do things that are convincing and set an example. To put it bluntly, it is not difficult for me to arrange a position for you in the fleet, but if you don't do well in it, everyone will see it. How can I manage people in the future? How can I convince everyone?"
"You definitely can't go to the motorcade, don't blame me for that, but don't worry, I'll think of another way for you. I'll use my connections these days to see if there's a suitable place for you to go. If that doesn't work, you can go to the Tengfei Factory. Can't you operate a sewing machine? Go there and work on the assembly line in the workshop. Although the work is tiring, the income is not bad, about 70 or 80 yuan a month."
"Really? How can the Tengfei factory workshop produce so much?" Sun Xia couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"How can I lie to you? The highest salary in the factory workshop is over 100 yuan, but the factory is piecework, which is not an easy job. It's very hard to sew on the sewing machine all day. If there are defective products, you will be deducted from your salary. You should think about it carefully."
"What's hard work? I'm not someone who can't endure hardship. When we first got married, I was pregnant with Haozi and I was still working a few days before he was born. Besides, this job is not easy when the street factory is the busiest. I'm a woman, and I have to run around the warehouse and move goods all day long like men. But how much does the street factory earn? The salary at Tengfei Factory is so high, how can they compare? For this little money, I'll do it!"
Sun Xia is not a delicate young lady. Just as she said, she has also experienced hardships. She saw no hope in the street factory, but it was different when she went to Tengfei Factory. The salary was so high that it was higher than some state-owned factories. If others could do it, why couldn't she?
"Okay, I'll go ask Daqi tomorrow. As long as Daqi agrees, it will be done." Seeing that Sun Xia was interested, Zhang Jianguo agreed immediately.
Hearing this answer, Sun Xia smiled happily. Although there were still traces of tears on her face, her smile looked so beautiful in Zhang Jianguo's eyes, as if he had instantly returned to the time when he and Sun Xia were in love.
"Wife, you are so beautiful..."
"Bah! Aren't you going to say that what I think is beautiful again?"
"Nonsense! The beauty I thought of is right. I find you are more beautiful than a fairy..." After not having sex for a long time, Zhang Jianguo suddenly felt a heat in his belly. He couldn't help hugging his wife and kissing her. Sun Xia half-pushed and half-accepted, and soon there was an indescribable sound...
In the small room next door, not far from their bed, Zhang's mother turned over with a smile...
Take-off factory.
Li Daqi has been busy since returning from Guangzhou. Li Daqi is a manager with strong execution ability. After the decisions on supply and marketing and foreign trade of Tengfei Factory were finalized at the shareholders' meeting in Guangzhou, Li Daqi returned to Shanghai and started working without stopping.
After some adjustments and reorganizations, the original sales channels have been gradually improved, and the number of new local and out-of-province sales customers has steadily increased. The current sales volume has accounted for more than 35% of the total production, basically breaking away from the dependence on the original sales channels in Shanghai and Yanjing. Moreover, this number continues to grow with the continuous increase in the output value of Tengfei Factory.
As for the procurement of raw materials, Gu Jie helped a lot in Yangcheng. He contacted the local textile factories in Yangcheng and thus obtained certain supply channels.
Although the textile mills in Yangcheng are still somewhat inferior to those in Shanghai in terms of scale and fabric technology, they have solved a major problem as a supplement of raw materials. And with the arrival of raw materials from Yangcheng, the production of Tengfei Factory has been further expanded, which has also eliminated some worries.
In addition, samples for export have also been recognized by Hong Kong. A month ago, Hong Kong officially placed an order. The first batch of orders was not too large in amount, just 10,000 shirts and 5,000 pairs of jeans, but the significance of this order was significant. From the time this order was received, it meant that Tengfei Factory began to have the ability to export and earn foreign exchange independently.
Song Yuanchao's guess was absolutely correct. When the order from Xiangjiang came in, it immediately attracted the attention of the relevant departments. As a collective and newly built factory, the relevant departments had basically ignored the Tengfei Factory before. But now it is different. The Tengfei Factory actually has the ability to export and earn foreign exchange, which is very eye-catching in this era.
But neither Song Yuanchao nor Li Daqi expected that attracting attention would also bring trouble.
Several leaders from relevant departments came to visit the factory immediately. In addition to being curious about how Tengfei Factory could obtain export orders on its own, they also planned to take the order away from Tengfei Factory.
According to a leader who came to inspect, Tengfei Factory is just a new factory of collective nature, and exporting to earn foreign exchange is a big thing, not a small thing. Such a big thing must be taken seriously. As a new factory, Tengfei Factory has been established for too short a time and lacks experience in this area. If they fail to complete this batch of orders, it will not only affect their own factory image, but also affect the overall situation of exporting and earning foreign exchange in the country, and bring a very bad impression to foreign countries.
In this case, Tengfei Factory should take the initiative to give up the order to a factory with a larger scale, stronger foundation and more export experience.
As for Tengfei Factory, giving up the order is a manifestation of considering the overall situation. It is reasonable for individuals to suffer some grievances in the face of the overall situation. After all, Tengfei Factory is a collective factory rather than a state-owned factory, and it has a delicious bun in its hand that attracts so much attention.
Hearing this, Li Daqi was furious. What kind of words are these? Is this what a human being would say? Why would you give your own orders to others? And you're still considering the overall situation? If you like to consider the overall situation so much, why don't you take out all your monthly salary to help the poor? There are so many people who can't afford to eat now, why don't you do such a noble thing?
Looking at that sanctimonious face, Li Daqi wished he could pour the freshly brewed tea directly on his face. He had never seen such a shameless person.
But in the end, Li Daqi did not do so. After these years of experience, his temper has been restrained a lot, and he is no longer the young man he used to be. As the actual person in charge of Tengfei Factory, if he made such a move, it would be fine for himself, but the whole factory would be in trouble.
Restraining his anger, Li Daqi could only laugh and say that he had no say in the matter, because although Tengfei Factory was a collective factory, the clothing brand of Tengfei Factory was authorized by Xiangjiang Shenghua Company, and the orders were also placed by Xiangjiang Shenghua Company. They were only responsible for processing and did not have the right to transfer the orders.
The leader who proposed the conditions was very disapproving of this answer and said shamelessly that since this was the case, they should communicate with . Since the superiors had decided so, it was also to better complete this batch of orders. Xiangjiang Shenghua Company was not in the mainland and did not know much about the situation of the Shanghai clothing industry. As the relevant department, they had the responsibility and obligation to remind Xiangjiang. This was for the good of Xiangjiang and to ensure the smooth completion of the export orders. Xiangjiang would definitely be reasonable and agree.
Seeing this leader so confident, Li Daqi was speechless. He had no choice but to call Xiangjiang Shenghua Company in front of the other party.
The person who answered the phone was Xu Hui. That was because Qin Zhengguo had gone to Pengcheng again these days and was not in Hong Kong for the time being. Moreover, as the vice president of Shenghua Company in Hong Kong, Xu Hui was responsible for routine business communications and liaisons. In addition, with these leaders being there, it was more appropriate to contact Xu Hui than Qin Zhengguo.
On the phone, Li Daqi directly told Xu Hui about the problems that happened on his side. Xu Hui listened quietly and said nothing, but just asked Li Daqi whether the other party was nearby.
After receiving a positive reply, Xu Hui asked Li Daqi to hand the phone to the leader so that she could communicate directly with him. When the leader answered the phone, he had a smug expression on his face. But when he put the phone to his ear and heard a series of English reprimands mixed with stiff Mandarin, his face gradually changed. His initial red face turned to livid, and then to pale. Even beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
