Chapter 518 Forcing a Duck onto a Shelf
Something even more provocative happened to the factory workers in Anning County!
Changhong Factory held a celebration meeting under the guise of making up for the Spring Festival celebration.
Changhong's sales have exceeded 60 million yuan, including orders for which payment has been received but goods have not yet been shipped.
Although this money hasn't been officially deposited into the account, it's a done deal.
Although Lin Xiaohe was out of town, he expressed his gratitude and congratulations to all the employees of Changhong Factory by making a phone call during the celebration, and made a decision to pay the back wages owed to more than 300 veteran employees for 12 months!
If each person receives three to four thousand, and there are 400 people, then 16 will be distributed at once.
This made other factories with negative balances green with envy.
What made these people lose their temper was that Lin Xiaohe gave all employees a 200 yuan shopping card from Pang Donglai Selected Supermarket!
When everyone else was struggling to pay their wages, Changhong Factory was giving out employee benefits.
The workers at Changhong factory wore genuine smiles that they hadn't seen in a long time, and they were full of enthusiasm for their work, with their initiative greatly mobilized.
Job opportunities at Changhong Factory were extremely scarce.
Instead of resting on his laurels, Lin Xiaohe presented two more patents and asked the old factory manager to purchase production lines.
Once the sales curve for folding sauna tubs flattens out in the summer, two new products will be launched to solidify the concept that "products from Changhong Factory are always of the highest quality!"
The old factory director, his face flushed and neck bulging, was panting heavily, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Director Lin, can we do this?"
Even though he had a biased view of Changhong Factory, he had to admit that their technological and labor reserves were insufficient.
"If we don't have enough workers, we'll poach them from other factories. If we don't have enough factory space, we'll acquire other factories. Instead of letting those factories be ruined by others, we'd rather they join us and grow stronger together!"
Lin Xiaohe's domineering speech completely stunned the old factory director.
It turns out that Director Lin has such a broad vision!
Compared to the festive atmosphere at the Changhong factory, the atmosphere in the county party committee office building was much more somber.
"Hasn't that Monkey King returned yet?" The top leader's office was filled with smoke.
The old Party Secretary has a lot more gray hair now, and his energy and spirit are much worse than before.
All of this is thanks to that monkey Sun Wukong!
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have agreed to let Lin Xiaohe serve as the contract-based factory manager of Changhong Factory in the first place.
This knife is sharp enough, but it can't withstand the backlash!
County Chief Tian was devastated, this was definitely the biggest Waterloo he had ever encountered in his career: "She has caused such a big mess, how dare she come back at this critical moment? I heard that she also brought 6 members of the security department with her, each of them carrying a gun."
Deputy County Head Wu Qiang called Lin Xiaohe several times, but Lin Xiaohe reported good news every day.
They either successfully established sales outlets in Beijing and Shanghai, or secured large orders.
These sales figures are quite impressive.
If even the Changhong factory has collapsed, what else can Anning County boast about?
The two leaders exchanged a glance, both managing a wry smile. Lin Xiaohe was certain they wouldn't touch Changhong Factory!
"So what should you do now?"
Being caught between a rock and a hard place is truly a source of endless worry.
Ding ding ding ding.
County Magistrate Tian's secretary knocked gently on the door and came in to report, "Sir, the former factory director of Changhong Factory called to say he has good news for you."
The moment they heard the words "Changhong Factory," the two leaders felt a buzzing pain in their heads.
County Chief Tian really wanted to firmly refuse to answer, but he still reached out his hand: "Transfer the call over here." "Leader, Happy Chinese New Year! I'd like to wish you a belated Happy New Year." The old factory director's voice was full of energy, and he looked decades younger.
Mr. Tian said impatiently, "Didn't you say you were going to announce good news? What's the big good news?"
The old factory director's heart, liver, spleen, and lungs trembled, but when he thought of the bright future described by Director Lin, he mustered up his courage and said, "With the strong support of the leaders, our Changhong Factory has obtained authorization for two more patents."
"Was it taken out by Lin Xiaohe?"
"Haha, the leader has such keen eyes and is incredibly insightful."
"Ha, this is truly a joyous occasion. Congratulations to your Changhong Factory." County Chief Tian felt aggrieved, finally experiencing the feeling of being too big to handle, as described in ancient times.
The problem is, I cultivated this tail myself, it's so frustrating!
The old factory director seemed oblivious to the county head's displeasure, and continued to smile, saying, "This isn't a problem our factory is facing; we're just asking the leaders for help."
"Oh, your Factory Director Lin is so capable, yet he still encounters difficulties?"
The old factory director said, "As the saying goes, 'A hero needs three helpers.' If we want these two patents to go from patents to the market as soon as possible, our Changhong factory alone can't handle it. Our factory director, Mr. Lin, is thinking of seeing which suitable factories can join our business. If there aren't any suitable ones in the county, we'll look in the city. Several factory leaders in Fengyang City are currently in contact with our factory director."
“In every respect, the factory in Fengyang City is definitely stronger and has a greater advantage. But we all grew up in Anyang County, which is our hometown. The support of our hometown folks and leaders is the talisman for our success.”
County Chief Tian and the top official both understood.
Lin Xiaohe was urging them to take drastic measures against the 12 companies, but she also promised that she would support them.
The two leaders' eyes gleamed as they lightly tapped the solid wood table with their knuckles.
The question now is, does Lin Xiaohe actually have this ability? Is he credible?
County Chief Tian: "Have your Factory Director Lin come and talk to me personally."
"Okay. I'll tell our factory manager right away."
Upon receiving the message from the former factory director, Lin Xiaohe immediately called his superiors.
After more than an hour of in-depth conversation, the leader finally made up his mind.
"My God, the county is finally sending an inspection team to the factory!"
"Not only are we required to be stationed at the factories, but each unit is also required to submit a reform and revitalization plan suitable for its own situation to the leading group within two weeks, based on the spirit of the superior documents."
"The plan clearly requires that it must include product structure adjustments, technology upgrade roadmaps, marketing strategies, and methods for personnel relocation and resettlement, etc. If it fails to meet the requirements three times, the person in charge of the unit will be summoned for a talk."
"The county has allocated 100 million yuan as special support funds. However, these funds will not be distributed equally or allocated free of charge. Instead, an expert review panel will evaluate the proposals submitted by each factory, and the factories will receive funding and benefits based on their evaluations!"
Throughout the year, Anning County's major initiatives have garnered strong support and praise from the entire county's residents.
"The leaders are decisive and doing a good job."
"This is what it truly means to do practical things and bring benefits to our people!"
Compared to the public's jubilation, the city's reaction was much more lukewarm.
They watched quietly from the sidelines, wondering how Anning County would handle this crisis.
If not handled properly, this incident could shatter Anning County into pieces.
