Chapter 320 Tangled
At the end of 1994, the relocation policy of the Longjingyuan New Industrial Park was announced on a snowy day.

Before the policy was announced, the factory workers were very vocal about it, and most of them were resistant. This was not to say that they were dissatisfied with the company's top management. On the contrary, Longjingyuan was revived and started to operate again. They kept their jobs and no longer had to live the hard life of having no food to eat. They were grateful to the top management of Liansheng.

But to put it simply, it is not easy to accept a transfer from the city to a remote rural area to work, whether from the perspective of family situation or career development.

In recent days, the employees have been discussing privately. The current situation is still unclear. The old factory director Li Jilin also said that he would give the workers a satisfactory plan. Everyone is willing to believe him, so they want to wait until the relocation policy comes out before making any plans. Once the workers' wishes are not satisfied, the last production line shutdown incident will definitely happen again.

Among them, Wu Xinghua, manager of Liansheng's raw material supply division, was probably the one who cared the most about this matter, but he never showed it. As a leader, he could not be stupid enough to discuss the company's resolutions with his employees.

On the day when the relocation policy came out, many middle and senior management of Longjingyuan had not received the news, let alone the grassroots workers. It was Wang Guibing who took a few Liansheng employees to post the notice directly on the bulletin board. He also notified the management to hold a staff meeting in the afternoon.

After the notice was posted, the news quickly spread throughout the factory. Everyone found that things were completely different from what they had imagined. This notice did not require all employees to go to the new Longjingyuan Industrial Park. Whether to go or not was entirely voluntary. However, the old Longjingyuan factory would still be closed. Employees who were unwilling to go to the new industrial park would be arranged to work in the cannery contracted and operated by Liansheng. Employees who were willing to go to the new industrial park would have their welfare and salary benefits increased, and food and accommodation would be provided, and shuttle buses would be arranged.

For a while, the employees were talking about it a lot, and there were all kinds of opinions, but there was no situation where the employees came together to resist Liansheng's relocation policy.

To put it bluntly, the core reason why everyone is reluctant to go to the new industrial park is that they feel it is too far away and is located in a remote rural area. Now Liansheng does not force them to go, and has arranged jobs for them in the cannery contracted and operated by the city, and the salary remains unchanged. So what reason do they have to make trouble?

Wu Xinghua also received the news at the first time.

Compared with the employees who have already been divided, he feels more mixed emotions.

In fact, as early as the night when Zhang Yunqi was having dinner at Li Yufei's house, Wang Guibing suddenly came to talk to him. He felt the crisis and the unusual development of the situation. Of course, what he cared about was not the closure of the old factory and the employees going to work in remote areas, but Zhang Yunqi wanted to cut off the livelihood of suppliers!
Zhang Yunqi is indeed a tough guy. He spent more than a year quietly building a raw material supply base in Yunxi Village. After the relocation, starting next year, all raw materials will be supplied by the Yunxi Village Cooperative, and all of Longjingyuan’s previous raw material suppliers will have to terminate their purchasing contracts.

There is a huge contradiction here, involving tens of millions of dollars, because many suppliers specialize in the raw material business of Longjingyuan. Now Zhang Yunqi's doing this is equivalent to cutting off their livelihood.

The suppliers cannot change this policy at all. They cannot even see a big boss like Zhang Yunqi. As for the general manager Li Jilin, when Longjingyuan was on the verge of bankruptcy, this group of people blocked his door every day to collect debts. The relationship between them was already very strained. Now he can't wait to get rid of all these suppliers.

So they all went to find Wu Xinghua.

Wu Xinghua used to be in charge of the raw material supply of Longjingyuan, which was another lucrative position. The relationship between him and the supplier was very complicated. Of course, he knew in his heart that Zhang Yunqi would never care about the life and death of the raw material supplier. It was easy to understand that Zhang Yunqi had invested so much money in Yunxi Village. His ultimate goal was not only to get the high-quality land of Longjingyuan, but also to control the raw materials. In this way, the product quality could be guaranteed while minimizing the cost of canning. There were not many canning factories on the market that could control both production and sales at the same time. Most of the canning factories purchased raw materials for processing, so this was a huge cost advantage, which could further enhance the competitiveness of Longjingyuan's canned products in the market. Zhang Yunqi could not give up such a strategic advantage.

Wu Xinghua knew clearly that the matter was impossible to fulfill, but he was forced into a corner by the supplier in private. Perhaps if he didn't resolve the issue, the supplier would tear his face off and perish together with him.

These days, Wu Xinghua felt that he was at his wits' end, but the closure of the old factory this time, with the momentum not going in the right direction, gave him hope. He thought that as long as the employees made trouble, they would be able to slow down Zhang Yunqi's pace in pushing forward the Yunxi Village project. As long as the situation continued to develop, suppliers would have the opportunity to make further trouble from the outside, just like the last time when Longjingyuan went bankrupt, and gain the opportunity to negotiate with senior management.

But now it seems that I was too naive!

The shrewd Zhang Yunqi had already planned out the game. With 46 contracted canning factories, Liansheng had completely controlled the canning industry in Jiangchuan City. No matter how much the employees of Longjingyuan made a fuss, they would have to submit in the end.

That morning, Wu Xinghua was in a trance in the office. He stared at the heavy snow outside the window for a long time, his heart was in a mess.

Although he is still the manager of the supply chain division, this department is divided into two lines. Zhang Yunqi's brother-in-law Niu Fen is in charge of the Yunxi Village Cooperative line, and he is in charge of the supplier line. Now the supplier's business is to be terminated, and all raw materials are supplied through the Yunxi Village Cooperative. In other words, he has long been sidelined and has become an empty frame that can't shit in the toilet. He can survive a day with a cup of strong tea and a newspaper.

He was not stupid, of course he knew what it meant for Zhang Yunqi to treat him like this. He asked himself honestly, after Zhang Yunqi took over Longjingyuan, he was innocent! He didn't owe Zhang Yunqi anything! But he still didn't have the courage to overturn the table, because he had controlled the supply of raw materials for Longjingyuan Canning Factory for more than ten years, and the relationships were complicated. As long as he moved, the group of suppliers who were about to be cut off by Zhang Yunqi would definitely explode. He was old and would retire in two years. He just wanted to get through this period of time in peace!
"Jingle Bell……"

At this time, the phone rang.

Wu Xinghua came back to his senses and picked up the phone. It was the security guard Lao Qin calling, saying that a man driving an Audi was looking for him. He looked and sounded important, so he asked him to go to the gate.

Wu Xinghua hung up the phone, tapped his fingers on the desk, and weighed his options for a while before he pulled himself together, got up, picked up his coat, and went out. When he walked through the factory and arrived at the factory gate, a middle-aged man in a black suit standing in the snow came over. He said directly, "Are you Wu Xinghua?"

Wu Xinghua glanced at the man in the suit: "Who are you?"

The man in a suit handed Wu Xinghua a finely polished, ink-colored business card without any gold or silver plating: "Our boss wants to see you, please."
