"Xiaohui? Why are you here?" Fu Zhiqiang looked at the girl in front of him and asked with some surprise.
The girl seemed to have been running for a long time, still breathing heavily, and said with a smile: "I heard from the boss that the person you injured is in this hospital, and I can't contact you. I want to come."
Let me say thank you."
Fu Zhiqiang smiled lightly and replied: "It's okay."
"Brother Zhiqiang, thank you very much"
As the girl spoke, she suddenly said with a sad look on her face: "I'm really sorry for causing you to be fired."
Fu Zhiqiang still looked like he didn't care, and said: "It's really okay. Don't take it to heart. Just fire me. If you don't keep me here, I will have my own place."
The girl smiled, and she looked very cute.
Fu Zhiqiang pointed at me hurriedly and said to the girl: "Xiaohui, let me introduce you, this is my brother."
"Hello, brother." Xiaohui turned to look at me and greeted me with a smile.
I nodded and said hello, and Xiaohui asked Fu Zhiqiang again: "Brother Zhiqiang, can I add you on WeChat? If you need my help in any way, just tell me."
"It's really okay, Xiaohui, please stop being so polite."
"Yes, Brother Zhiqiang, I'm really sorry for you, because you had to be complained and fired for standing up for me. I feel really sorry."
Fu Zhiqiang sighed softly, then took out his hand and added Xiaohui as friends.
Xiaohui asked Fu Zhiqiang again: "Brother Zhiqiang, is the person you beat okay now?"
"He's fine, don't worry."
I looked back at Boss Ma. He had already finished paying and was walking towards the door.
If he were to see Xiao Hui, I guess the three of them would be very embarrassed, and Xiao Hui would definitely feel strange.
So I immediately said to Zhiqiang: "Hurry up, let's go to the parking lot and wait for him."
Fu Zhiqiang then said to Xiaohui: "Xiaohui, I have something to do and I'll leave first. You can go back. It's really okay."
"Well, if there is anything you need my help with, just tell me on WeChat, Brother Zhiqiang."
Fu Zhiqiang nodded, and I pulled him towards the parking lot.
After a while, Boss Ma also came to the parking lot and said to me with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, let's go."
"You drove here by yourself, right?"
"yes."
"Then you lead the way for me from the front, and I'll follow you from behind."
He nodded and immediately got into a BMW 5 Series car.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell me: "Mr. Chen, I'll drive slowly, don't lose me."
"Follow me or not, go your own way."
I then got into the car with Fu Zhiqiang and followed him all the way.
In the car, I asked Fu Zhiqiang: "Is the girl at the door of the hospital just now the receptionist who was bullied as you said?"
"Well, Brother Feng, now you believe that I didn't lie to you."
I smiled and said, "You have done the right thing, but have you really changed so much in just half a month? To be honest, I really doubt you are faking it."
Fu Zhiqiang sighed and replied in a deep voice: "What I say is useless now. I am already a useless person. I can only prove it with actual actions in the future."
"I hope so."
After following for almost half an hour, we arrived at a production factory.
The scale of the factory is not large, there are only two factories, and it is estimated to be only five or six hundred square meters.
We stopped at a three-story office building in the factory area. After getting off the car, he quickly walked over to me and took the initiative to open the car door for me.
"Mr. Chen, look, this is my factory." He said excitedly after opening the car door for me.
After I got off the car, I looked around the entire factory and said, "Your factory is quite old!"
"Yes, we have a history of more than 20 years. It was even bigger before. Several changes happened later, and some areas in the east and south were zoned out."
While introducing it to me, he took out a box of Chinese medicine, handed one to me, and took out a lighter to light it for me.
I waved my hand towards her, took out the lighter and lit the cigarette.
He said to me again: "Mr. Chen, how about I take you to the workshop?"
"Okay, I'll go after I finish smoking."
As we walked into the factory, I asked him: "How many workers are there in your factory now?"
"In terms of workers alone, there are more than 40 people. Including the offices, there are a total of 65 people."
As he spoke, he sighed heavily and added: "There have been severe layoffs this year, and many old employees have resigned. In the past, when there were more people, there were more than 300 people."
In fact, I can also see that this factory has been glorious in the past. First of all, the geographical location is particularly advantageous. It is less than three kilometers away from the highway and only 20 kilometers away from the airport.
Secondly, the factory area not only has a living area but also an entertainment area, two basketball courts, a badminton court, and even its own supermarket and medical office.
Although these are closed and the basketball and badminton courts look dilapidated, there is no doubt that this place once had its glory days.
All the way to the door of the workshop, I put out the cigarette, and then followed him into the workshop.
By this time, the workers had already finished get off work, and the workshop was very quiet, except for some noise from some airports that needed to be turned on 24 hours a day.
The various equipment in the workshop look old, and the paint on the floor has almost been worn away, but all the materials are arranged fairly neatly.
Boss Ma introduced me again: "Mr. Chen, we only have one shift of workers working now, and it's time to get off work. We used to have three shifts."
After walking around the workshop, I discovered a problem, which is also the most serious problem.
After leaving the workshop, I asked him to show me the data of the past year. He took me to the office and compiled a lot of data tables for me.
I picked out a few key points and looked at them. Based on the problems I had discovered before, I asked him: "The products you produce are too complicated, including kitchen utensils, household appliances, and home appliances. No wonder the benefits are so poor."
"Mr. Chen, we were like this before, but the efficiency is no problem."
I smiled and asked: "Then let me ask you, did you produce whatever your employer asked you to produce in the past?"
"yes."
"That's right. In the past, you had big brands sponsoring you, and of course the benefits were different. But now that there are no big brands to cooperate with you, you have become a no-name brand. Do you think anyone will buy it?"
He was quite smart. After hearing what I said, he pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, do you mean we want to make a single product?"
"To be honest, I was very disappointed after visiting your factory. It simply cannot meet the requirements for our cooperation."
He immediately lowered his head and sighed, and then said to me: "Please give me some guidance, Mr. Chen. I really have no choice now. I already owe a lot of foreign debt and I really can't get the money out.
I just want to try to see if live streaming can help me get through this difficult time."
I raised my hand, interrupted him, and asked, "How much money is owed outside?"
"More than two million, and I owe the rent of the factory for a year. The owner of the factory was a good friend of my father during his lifetime, so he didn't kick me out. If someone else had kicked me out, he would have been kicked out long ago."
I smiled bitterly and asked again: "What about the workers' wages? Don't tell me that you owe them too?"
"That's not true. Workers' wages are paid on time every month. I sold my house and everything else. The BMW you saw was actually rented to keep up appearances. Without a good car, no one will believe me when talking about business.
You have the strength."
What he said is true. Especially for business people, having a good car will really get twice the result with half the effort.
"It seems that you are indeed in a difficult situation now."
After a short pause, I added: "There is a way, it just depends on whether you are willing."
