Wang Lin turned around and saw a man wearing an old suit and sweater. His face was unshaven, his hair was messy because it was not combed back, and his old leather shoes were covered in dust.

Vaguely, Wang Lin seemed to see himself in his previous life.

"Hey, Comrade Wang Lin, you don't recognize me anymore? I'm Deng Dabao!" The visitor laughed and extended his hand, "Oh, you've become rich recently, haven't you? I think you look like a big boss.

!”

Wang Lin shook hands with him and said with a warm smile: "Brother Dabao! You're fine!"

The person in front of him was indeed Deng Dabao. In fact, he had not changed much. He looked almost the same as when he saw him at the beginning of the year. When Wang Lin first met Deng Dabao in the Anfangchang guest house, he looked like this.

Over the past year, Deng Dabao has remained the same, even his suit and leather shoes are from before.

The person who has changed a lot is Wang Lin.

When Wang Lin saw him, he felt inexplicably friendly. He reached out and patted his arm and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here on a business trip. I just arrived last night. Our factory is going to replace a batch of new machines. I have been sent out to contact the equipment manufacturer!" Deng Dabao took out a box of crumpled Hongmei cigarettes and handed one to him.

To Wang Lin.

Wang Lin took it and put it in his mouth. He also took out his own cigarette and handed one to Deng Dabao.

Deng Dabao took the cigarette with both hands and said with a smile: "Wang Lin, what business have you done recently to make a fortune?"

Wang Lin pointed at the shop in front of him: "Here, clothing business."

"You have opened a store? This store is quite big!" Deng Dabao looked up at the large signboard, "You don't even come to our factory to customize clothes? Do you think our factory's prices are too expensive?"

Wang Lindao: "Brother Dabao, to tell you the truth, I opened my own factory."

Deng Dabao laughed loudly and said: "I have known for a long time that you will definitely have a great future! You are indeed not a thing in the pool!"

Wang Lin could feel that the other party was really happy for him and said with a smile: "How are you doing? Let's get together?"

Deng Dabao said: "It hasn't been done yet! How about I contact you in the afternoon?"

Wang Lin said: "I bought a pager. If you call me when the time comes, I will pick you up."

Deng Dabao said: "Okay, let's do this first, I still have to go do some business."

Shen Xue came down from upstairs and said with a smile: "Wang Lin, the decoration style of this store is really famous! It's better than other clothing stores on Nanjing Road. I especially like those windows facing the street. The clothing models are displayed inside. It's definitely

Extremely beautiful!”

"Yes," Wang Lin said, "When it opens, I have to invite you to come and help!"

Shen Xue smiled and said: "How to help?"

Wang Lindao: "There is a square next to our store. I will set up a catwalk in the square here and ask you to be my models and walk on the catwalk. It won't take long, it will take more than an hour!"

Shen Xuedao: "Wouldn't it be better to hire a professional model team?"

Wang Lindao: "I also know that there is a professional model team. Isn't this just to take care of your colleagues in the team? Each person is paid a thousand yuan."

Shen Xue smiled and said: "Okay, then I will help you bring a group of people over! But we are really not professionals. We are afraid that we can't even walk well on the catwalk!"

Wang Lindao: "The positioning of our brand is not too high-end, it just needs to be close to ordinary people. We hire too professional models, which are too condescending and unflattering. I want all the actors in your troupe to be beautiful."

, and you have the beauty-next-door style, I think the effect will be very good. And you are already stage actors, with stage presence and temperament, are you afraid that no one will see you when you step out?"

Shen Xue smiled and said: "Okay, let's give it a try?"

Wang Lindao: "The actors who come to the show will receive a red envelope of one thousand yuan each and can choose one of the clothes in the store."

Shen Xuedao: "Can I also go on stage to do the show?"

"Of course! You are a big shot that I can't invite!"

"Why can't you invite me? Aren't I always by your side?"

"Haha! Yes, who said you are my good friend? So, you must help me."

"Um."

Wang Lin and the decoration team settled the decoration payment.

The largest, most luxurious, and most difficult to decorate facade is this flagship store.

For the dozen or so other stores, the rental and purchase dates are later than this, but the renovation progress is faster than this.

After the store decoration is completed, Wang Lin will start hiring people.

The clothing factory and store belong to two different companies.

Wang Lin also registered a Xiuzhilin Clothing Co., Ltd. to manage all stores and also controlled the clothing factory. The office space is temporarily located on the third floor of Xiaobailing Art School.

Half a day passed quickly.

Wang Lin sent Shen Xue back to Xiaobailing, and then went home for lunch.

Li Wenxiu has already gotten off work and is cooking and cooking at home.

Wang Lin walked into the kitchen to help her and said, "You are pregnant, why don't we hire a nanny? You don't have to work so hard."

Li Wenxiu said: "It's not hard work, I can do this. I'm not used to having a nanny at home, and there's no place for the nanny to sleep."

Wang Lindao: "The clothing stores have been renovated. After the factory is put into operation, the stores will be officially opened, which will require a large number of salespeople and management personnel."

Li Wenxiu asked while cooking: "Are these employees still diverted from Shenfang Factory?"

"The store is my sole proprietorship. People who are diverted from the factory may not be willing to come. The workers in the factory now have a strong sense of iron rice bowl as you. What I mean is to recruit people from the society, and only locals, which is convenient.

manage."

Li Wenxiu said: "I didn't expect that you still have regional discrimination? I think female workers from other places are also very good. Look at Sun Xiaodie, she is hard-working, hard-working and has a good temper. She will do whatever is asked of her."

Wang Lin smiled and said: "Don't blame me, I can't bear it. I have never discriminated based on geography. Local employees are easier to manage and there is no need to prepare employee dormitories. These things are very troublesome."

Li Wenxiu said: "The staff dormitories are all ready-made. Are the dormitories at the sanitary napkin factory not necessarily full?"

Wang Lin: "That's not true. Moreover, in the previous dormitory, only two to four people were accommodated in a room. If there are really many people, we can put more iron frame beds to sleep eight people."

Li Wenxiu said: "In that case, I suggest you hire outsiders. The wages of outsiders are at least half cheaper! Although locals are not provided with food or accommodation, they still have to receive food subsidies and housing subsidies. These things are additional

It’s also a big expense to get up. You now

Our career has just started, so it’s better to save a little on everything. We have such a big family business as Shenfang Factory, and we have to live carefully. The leaders shout slogans every day, about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, saving every drop of water, and every yarn is hard-earned.

, don’t waste every scrap of cloth!”

Wang Lin pondered: "After all, we are opening a store in Shanghai, and most of our customers must be locals. It is better to recruit salespeople who understand the local dialect to communicate better."

Li Wenxiu said: "Your consideration is not unreasonable. In fact, it would be best if it could be diverted from our factory. Then there will really be a wave of layoffs. With so many workers, finding a job will be really troublesome.

. How about you discuss with the leaders of the factory? Send some people over to help you in the form of external assignment or transfer? "

Wang Lindao: "Our leadership definitely has no objections and is eager to divert people out. We are afraid that the employees will not be willing."

"How can you know if it's not possible if you haven't tried it? Aren't the employees who were transferred to your factory also doing a pretty good job?"

"Okay, I'll go to the company in the afternoon and discuss it with Director Zhou."

Li Wenxiu said: "I have something to discuss with you. After the garment factory starts operating, should we keep the garment workshops and stalls?"

Wang Lindao: "Why don't you keep it? This is your property. You don't want it anymore?"

Li Wenxiu said: "It's your investment."

Wang Lin smiled and said: "It will always be your property, okay? You have decided. If you find it troublesome, just withdraw."

Li Wenxiu said: "After the season change, business is now a bit worse, but I can still make a few hundred yuan a day. I did the calculations. When it is less, I can make three or five hundred yuan, and when it is more, I can make three or four hundred yuan a day."

Thousands, of course there are fewer days like this. In the past few months, apart from all expenses, this stall has helped us earn more than 30,000 yuan! I really can’t bear to give up."

Wang Lin said: "Then keep it! Wenjuan and Xiaodie have nothing to do anyway, so let them take care of it. The more you make, the less you make, the more money you make."

The two of them had dinner and took a short rest, but Li Wenxiu still went to work.

Li Wenxiu and Sun Xiaodie are now eating lunch boxes outside, which saves them the trouble of delivering meals at noon.

In the afternoon, Wang Lin came to Shenfang Factory and asked Zhou Boqiang to discuss the continued diversion of employees.

Zhou Boqiang heard this and of course he applauded.

When Wang Lin suggested that employees might be reluctant to work in private companies, Zhou Boqiang laughed and said: "What does it have to do with it? They don't know, isn't the relationship between these stores and our factory? It's still the same old way of retaining jobs.

The relationship, benefits, and salary are all yours!"

"I'm just afraid that when they find out about it, they'll make a fuss."

Zhou Boqiang shook his head slightly and said: "Wang Lin, to tell you the truth, the situation is very serious now! The efficiency of the textile factory is not what it was in previous years. A few years ago, the supply of cloth we produced was in short supply. It is different now.

With the advent of market economy, all kinds of foreign capital

Enterprises, joint ventures, and private enterprises are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. They either have excellent management systems, low labor costs, or flexible sales models. Our state-owned factories compete with them, but fall behind.

!”

Wang Lindao: "So we should change our management concepts and keep pace with the times."

Zhou Boqiang said: "In order to reform, the first step is to revolutionize the production line! Today's production lines are all automated, integrated, and intelligent. In the past, a machine that required three workers can now be done by one person. Then you say,

What about the two extra workers?
