The eighth day of the first lunar month.

The work days that Hangzhou San Cotton Factory started.

White smoke came out of the towering chimney, the workshop machine began to rotate, and the Hangsan Cotton Factory returned to its former vitality.

In the factory building.

People and figures shuttled through the corridors on each floor, and everyone in each department was extremely busy.

It is said that this morning, Xiang Zhonghai, secretary of the factory party committee, convened members of the party committee and held the first team meeting after the festival. Until 12 noon, the door of the conference room was still closed and there was no intention of breaking up the meeting.

When it was time to eat, Qin Weiming came out of the conference room and asked Zhang Dainian to arrange a few people to go to the cafeteria to prepare some food and deliver it directly to the conference room. Hearing this, several leaders even had to eat lunch in the conference room, and the meeting would probably last for an afternoon.

Zhang Danian called Zhan Pengfei and two new colleagues from the third department to go to the cafeteria to get food for the leaders.

On the way to the cafeteria, Zhang Dainian saw that among the people walking in front of him, there was a figure that looked quite like Lu Yuan, so he shouted.

Sure enough, it was Lu Yuan. Zhang Danian also knew several other people, both from the marketing department, including Hong Gang from the marketing department, Hu Yinghong from the after-sales service department, and Lin Li.

They all went to the cafeteria to have dinner, said hello, and everyone left together.

Although Zhan Pengfei was not in the same department as Lu Yuan, he was famously petty. He didn't even say hello and took Lin Li to the cafeteria before everyone.

Seeing this, Zhang Dainian smiled awkwardly and said to Lu Yuan: "This is a villain, brother, don't pay attention to him."

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not it."

Zhan Pengfei's contempt made Hong Gang feel that he had lost face. He said angrily: "What are you proud of? If you don't have Lin Li's girlfriend, he can become the deputy section chief? I don't know what Lin Li likes him."

Hu Yinghong smiled bitterly and said, "It's fate, what else can I say?"

Hong Gang curled his lips disdainfully, "I think it's a bad fate!"

"Okay OK, okay, don't talk about the couple."

Zhang Danian glanced at a few new colleagues next to him and quickly stopped the topic, so as not to chew Zhan Pengfei's tongue behind his back and affect the internal unity of the Reform Office.

Immediately, he explained to several new colleagues: "You go to the cafeteria to find Deputy Section Chief Zhan first, pack all the leaders' food, and send it back to the conference room first. Don't let Secretary Xiang and others be hungry!"

After waiting for the two young men to jog to the cafeteria, Lu Yuan asked curiously: "What's the situation? The leader in the factory is still having a meeting? This happened since the morning, why isn't it over?"

Zhang Danian nodded and said, "Today's meeting is very important and it will probably be held all day. I glanced at it and all the members of the leadership team were here, and a deputy director from the Provincial Textile Department also came to attend the meeting."

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the phone call he had with Zhang Dainian last night and guessed: "It's related to the thing I asked about on the phone last night?"

Zhang Daqing nodded and nodded, confirming Lu Yuan's guess.

"What's so important? You have to make such a big battle."

Hu Yinghong and Hong Gang were also inquiring with great interest.

Zhang Danian was hesitating whether to say it, but when Lu Yuan chuckled, he said, "Don't worry, our department has been gossiping about this in the morning."

As he said that, he hinted to Hong Gang and Hu Yinghong: "It's the thing we care about in Director Zheng's office this morning."

Hong Gang and Hu Yinghong said oh, with an expression of understanding.

Seeing this, Zhang Danian asked curiously: "Do your department know about it?"

Lu Yuan said: "There is no airtight wall in this world? Fortunately, I didn't hear the people below us discussing this matter, it was limited to the section chiefs and deputy section chiefs of several of our departments. Section Chief Hong and Sister Hu knew about this matter, but they heard Lin Li. Later we went to Director Zheng's office, and he only heard about it, and he didn't know it very clearly."

Zhang Dainian was relieved. Lin Li must have heard from her uncle Guan Liangyi.

Hong Gang said: "I think this is just a matter of storm. Our San Cotton Factory has been a state-owned factory for decades and has dealt with banks a lot. Our salary, benefits, and year-end bonuses are not issued by the credit union to us? How could the bank not give us the re-loan of our San Cotton Factory? To be honest, our Hangzhou San Cotton Factory is also their high-quality customer?"

"Yes, how can we not give our factory a re-loan? This is related to the livelihoods of thousands of employees of San Cotton Factory. If you say you stop lending, you must consider the impact!" Hu Yinghong also agreed with Hong Gang's statement.

"Hey, you're thinking too much." Zhang Danian shook his head, looked at Lu Yuan, and said, "You said nothing wrong on the phone last night. Director Qin also attended this meeting in the morning. When he came out to smoke, I asked him about it. He said that it was confirmed at the meeting that the bank's refusal to re-loan is basically a foregone conclusion!"

"Ah? Really... Really?"

Hong Gang and Hu Yinghong's expressions stagnated and immediately collapsed.

Although Lu Yuan was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but tremble when he heard the exact news.

Too difficult!

Once there is no bank re-loan, San Cotton Factory will have no working capital in its account. The wages and various benefits of more than 3,000 employees may not be a problem if they last for one or two months. But he believes that San Cotton Factory will definitely not be able to hold on for three months!

If you can't hold on... the consequences are unimaginable.

This is not as simple as before, a small number of people were laid off and making trouble in the factory and going to the city to petition.

It concerns the livelihood and future of more than 3,000 people!

"But it's not as pessimistic as you think," Zhang Danian looked at Hong Gang and the others' faces and comforted him, "Secretary Xiang and the others are already studying solutions. Am I not going to say it just now? They probably have a whole day's meeting today. The province will not send a deputy director to give advice to Secretary Xiang and the others?"

"The reserve gap of nearly 200 million yuan cannot be solved by holding a meeting and studying it!" Hong Gang was pessimistic and even began to think about what he should do if the Hangzhou San Cotton Factory went bankrupt.

Zhang Danian said: "This is not a category that we can discuss. But I believe that leaders will definitely find a solution. After all, a factory as big as Hangzhou Sanmang, as Sister Hu said, how can a thousand people live and have a bankruptcy be said to go bankrupt if they go bankrupt? Especially the Hangzhou Sanmang Factory is currently in the stage of restructuring. If Hangzhou Sanmang Factory goes bankrupt at this time, isn't this telling the world that restructuring state-owned enterprises will not work at all?"

Lu Yuan was silent for a while and said, "Since the road to bank loan resumption cannot be done, the factory can only seek help from external funds!"

“Huh?”

Zhang Daqing gently punched Lu Yuan on the shoulder and praised with a smile: "You guys, you guessed it. I heard from Director Qin that the deputy director from the province brought the advice that our factory could seek the help of external funds, and also recommended the financing plans of several large groups! Yes, one of the financing plans is provided by Huasheng Group. Huasheng Group, should you have an impression? I remember, you did a labor export project before, exporting many laid-off workers in our factory to their Xiaoshan branch to work?"

"Huasheng Group?"

Lu Yuan was slightly shocked and suddenly remembered what Lu Peishan had reminded him before. He suggested that he also understand the business knowledge of clothing. Is this also related?

"It's that Huasheng Group!"

Zhang Danian said: "Their chairman also participated in the New Year's Day art performance in our factory. I used to think that someone happened to pass by, and then the city leaders brought him over to join in the fun. It was a pure coincidence. Now, when I think back, everything seems to be related and there are traces to follow!"

"Huasheng Group is the largest private group in our Yangtze River Delta area! Our factory has the strength to solve the financial difficulties! Moreover, they are in clothing and have a lot in common with our cotton mill." After hearing Zhang Danian say this, Hong Gang was much more optimistic.

Hu Yinghong disagreed this time and said, "I don't think it's that simple. Huasheng Group does have this strength and has many common features in its business. But Chief Hong, don't forget that no matter how powerful Huasheng Group is, it is also a private group. No matter how difficult our Hangzhou San Cotton Factory is, it is also an old state-owned factory. Once our San Cotton Factory accepts the financing of Huasheng Group, will our San Cotton Factory be a member of the society or capital in the future?"

"this……"

Hong Gang was stunned, and Hu Yinghong really came to the point.

He turned to look at Zhang Danian and said embarrassedly: "Yes, Director Zhang, once his surname is a capital, then we are just a strong job."

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "It seems that he doesn't accept external funds. We can continue to hold the iron rice bowl of San Cotton Factory."

"Stop, we chatted so enthusiastically on the way, which made us look like leaders in the factory."

Zhang Danian stopped the topic in time, looked at the watch, and reminded: "It's 12:30, hurry up, it's too late, the cafeteria is really out of food!"

"That can't be!"

Hong Gang patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget that the canteen boss is here. As a friend of the young master, how can you still not have a hot meal?"

"Young boss... Brother Hong, you are really funny."

Lu Yuan was happy and said, "The business hours of lunch at our Xingfuli canteen are at 2:30. It is slightly delayed by one and a half hours before the rest time before our factory runs the canteen. You can rest assured."

Zhang Dainian joked: "So I envy Lu Yuan. Look, the factory can't do it anymore, and I can still go home to inherit... Uh, continue with the canteen!"

"If I really want to leave San Cotton Factory one day, I still want to go out and try it out." Lu Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Let's go, go and have a meal quickly. I have to stare at Zhan Pengfei and the others to make meals. Don't finish my meal here, the leaders in the conference room are still hungry."

Under Zhang Danian's urging, several people accelerated their pace.

...

It's afternoon.

As soon as the time comes after get off work, Lu Yuan packs up his things and prepares to go home from get off work.

At this time, the phone rang.

As soon as I saw the caller ID, it was Lu Peishan.

Apart from sending a New Year greeting text message on New Year's Eve, they have never contacted each other.

Especially after hearing Pan Dahai talk about Lu Peishan and Kang Cheng, he also planned to find time to meet Lu Peishan after the holiday.

Unexpectedly, she called first.

"Hey, Sister Shan, I haven't contacted you for a while."

"You kid really have no contact with him?" Lu Peishan joked on the other end of the phone.

Lu Yuan explained: "Our factory has just resumed work today, and all the things that happened before the New Year are waiting for processing. I thought about the time after I finished my work, I will make an appointment with you to have a meal."

"No need to make another appointment. Do you have time tonight? Is there any time? I'll treat you to a drink?"

"tonight?"

Lu Yuan was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Okay, you send me the location by text message. I'll take a few kids home, wash my face and go out."

"Okay, I'll send you the address later."
