Chapter 384 Employee Internal Purchase Meeting
"Girl, are you really determined to divorce that boy?"
Old Man Kuai looked so depressed that he couldn't even eat his favorite fish head and tofu soup.
Sister Kuai nodded and said, "I've made up my mind. Don't try to persuade me or worry about me. I've calculated it myself. I'm a second-level worker in the factory now. If I work hard and become a team leader, I can probably get 380 yuan a month."
"I've inquired about it. The rent in the sanitary napkin factory area is not expensive. Niuniu and I rented a room and bought a coal stove to put in the room. It's enough for cooking and boiling water. The rent is only 30 yuan a month."
"The remaining money, let's say 150 yuan a month for living expenses and water and electricity bills, I can still save 200 yuan a month. It's enough for Niuniu to go to school."
Sister Kuai thought that after changing the boss, the new boss was willing to keep them, the old employees, and still pay them the same salary as before, which was already very good.
Unexpectedly, after the sanitary napkin factory resumed operations, the old employees who stayed behind were evaluated by the new company and their salaries increased by 100 yuan per month compared to before!
It was only then that the young boss Jiang Tian pointed to the rows of shops outside the wall and said to them with a smile:
"I know everyone is worried that the rebuilt factory looks smaller than before and whether it can support so many people."
"Today, let's show you how our sanitary napkin factory can make money in many other ways besides selling sanitary napkins."
On the first day of reopening, the new boss generously gave each employee a thirty-yuan consumption voucher.
However, what is strange is that these "consumption coupons" are not printed on a single piece of paper, but are divided into ten pieces, each with a face value of three yuan.
I heard that today was the first day of work, and they only worked half a day, starting in the morning and allowed to move freely around the factory and go home in the afternoon. The workers looked at each other, thinking that Jiang Tian, the new boss, might be crazy. Isn't this a losing business?
Would Jiang Tian do a business at a loss? It's so funny, how could capitalists give workers a holiday for no reason?
Otherwise, why do you think that the National Day and Spring Festival holidays in later generations are so long? Isn't it to promote consumption?
It seems that the new boss wants to do some "innovation" again, which makes the old employees very nervous.
They were afraid that Jiang Tian would follow in the footsteps of the previous boss and ruin the factory. Wouldn't they be laid off again?
Now they have figured it out. The old saying is right: the factory is my home, and its development depends on everyone.
If they remain indifferent to the development of the factory as they did before, or even deliberately do bad things to make the boss laugh, they will be the ones who become the joke in the end.
After all, if the factory went bankrupt, the boss could sell it and still have a good life. But if they lost their jobs in the factory, they would have to go home and starve now, without waiting for the future.
It is so difficult to find a job nowadays. Not to mention factories owned by private owners like this one, even large state-owned factories are going bankrupt one after another, aren't they?
There are fewer and fewer places recruiting workers, but more and more self-employed individuals setting up stalls on both sides of the main road. The employees are trembling with fear, fearing that Jiang Tian will ruin the factory. Several employees with more seniority in the factory just wanted to give Jiang Tian a reminder during the off-get off work hours, but they didn't expect that this girl would be more active than them after get off work.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of work, she was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, taking the lead and rushing out with a stack of consumer coupons in her hand.
Others: “…”
It’s over. Is their factory going to go bankrupt just after resuming operations?
"What are you standing there for? Let's go and take a look!" Sister Kuai picked up her bag and followed.
At this time, the storefront outside the factory had been newly decorated, with a banner hanging outside with a line of large characters written on it:
Aiya sanitary napkins "employee internal purchasing meeting" special event.
There is also a sign hanging on the wall at the door, which details the discounts and details of this event.
A group of passers-by gathered at the door of the store to watch the fun.
It's really rare. It's the first time in their lives that they see a store having a discount promotion but they, the consumers, are not allowed to participate. Only the internal employees of this "Aiya Sanitary Napkin" are eligible to enjoy the preferential price. Why?
"Because we are official workers of this sanitary napkin factory!"
"That's right. This row and the two rows of shops over there are all in our own factory. Our boss is generous. What's wrong with giving his own factory some benefits?"
After saying this, he walked into the store with his head held high amid the envious and jealous gazes of the onlookers.
Compared with the old factory, the new factory has indeed shrunk its factory area greatly, but it is definitely sufficient because Jiang Tian expanded all the previously idle land in the factory with walls and built four rows of storefronts on the side of the road that are wider than the road!
On both sides of the main entrance is the "Aiya Sanitary Products Direct Sales Department", which sells, in addition to the "Aiya" sanitary napkins that have been renamed and re-produced, toilet paper, disinfectant lotion, sulfur soap, adult and children's diapers, changing pads and the like.
Jiang Tian even invited an old Chinese doctor to work in the store to treat simple gynecological diseases for customers free of charge.
The consultation is free, but the sanitary products recommended to these patients with gynecological diseases have to be purchased by themselves.
On the other side of the gate is a large clothing store with two floors. The first floor is filled with women's clothing, shoes and bags, while the second floor is filled with men's clothing and children's clothing.
This store was not opened by Jiang Tian herself. She asked her second aunt to find someone to open it. However, the rent of the storefront has to be paid to the factory every year, which can be regarded as a fixed asset income of the factory.
My second aunt came to inspect the site and also thought it was suitable for opening a clothing store.
After all, those who come to buy sanitary napkins must be women. Women love shopping in nature, especially housewives who have to take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the whole family. They are the ones who arrange the clothes for the whole family. Those who come to buy sanitary napkins will see that there is such a big clothing store here. Even if they don’t buy anything, they will want to come in and have a look, right?
The left and right sides of the sanitary napkin factory have been expanded to a width of about four meters, divided into small storefronts of more than ten square meters. Jiang Tian does not plan to operate these storefronts by himself, but to rent them out to earn rent, which is also considered part of the factory's income.
However, all these storefronts combined do not make as much money as the "Sister Fang Fast Food Restaurant" located behind the factory wall.
This branch has three floors in total. The first floor serves fast food, and the second floor serves stir-fried dishes and simple banquets. If all the tables are put together, it will be no problem to set up thirty banquet tables.
The third floor is the office area and staff dormitory.
Fast food restaurants also participated in today's "employee internal purchase meeting". Although the factory provides a lunch, workers usually go shopping after lunch. However, with the consumption voucher, they can buy a braised duck leg with rice for 10 cents. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of this?
Even if they don’t eat it at noon, they can take it home and save it as a snack for the kids at night. One cent can be exchanged for a rice bowl that usually costs three yuan. Isn’t it a great deal?
