Chapter 245: Entrepreneur’s Responsibility [3000]

Hearing the words deaf-mute disabled people.

Lu Yang instantly thought of his wife Yin Mingyue.

Of course, Yin Mingyue is different. Yin Mingyue’s stuttering is just an acquired condition due to her weak and sickly body as a child. Even when it was the worst, she did not really become mute.

So you can also recover through training.

However, if a person is deaf and dumb, such a person is generally congenitally deaf and dumb. It is theoretically possible to cure him and restore him to a normal person, but in reality, the number of people who really have the conditions, can be treated, and can recover is almost zero.

After listening to Uncle Meng's introduction, Lu Yang was very clear that there was no connection between these deaf-mute people and his wife Yin Mingyue, and they had completely different types of diseases.

But in that instant, I felt an extremely strong sense of sympathy.

I want to do something for these disabled people.

So I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Meng, if I am willing to purchase this Fuli Cotton Textile Factory, then what are the government's requirements? Based on your experience, do you think the city government will only let me take over all of them? What about the dozen or so workers who are still in the factory to maintain its operation, or those who have no classes and can only stay at home and rely on government relief funds? What about the 100 to 200 workers who originally belonged to this factory?"

Even though I want to be a good person.

But you have to do what you can and it's better to ask clearly about some things.

If there were only a dozen to twenty disabled workers, Lu Yang felt that with the current scale of his company, which would grow bigger and bigger in the future, it should be easy to absorb them internally.

But if we increase this number tenfold.

100, or even 200, physically handicapped workers.

This is not a question of digestion or not.

Behind every 100 or 200 disabled workers, there may be 100 or 200 families of disabled workers.

Since you have accepted it, you must provide the other party with sufficient survival security.

From welfare to barrier-free communication, psychological counseling, health guidance, medical insurance, and most importantly, the most important point is to take care of their emotions and try our best to prevent them from being discriminated against by healthy workers.

If Lu Yang acquired the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory, he would definitely not copy its original purpose of running the factory and only recruit disabled people to solve employment problems for them. He would definitely recruit more healthy people.

Then, management will become a huge hassle.

It is a real test of the management’s ability to withstand pressure.

Moreover, no matter how troublesome it is, we can't just ignore it when the time comes.

We cannot just talk about immediate interests. We need to get the factory first. When the time comes, we can get rid of some burdens at will.

In that case, he is not an entrepreneur but a black-hearted capitalist.

Now that Lu Yang has been reborn, if he has a choice, he would certainly want to be an entrepreneur and have the responsibilities of an entrepreneur, rather than being a black-hearted capitalist who goes against his conscience and makes black money.

He has the conditions.

Meng Wenxian shook his head, pointed at Lu Yang and said with a smile: "You are dreaming. If you only need to accept a dozen disabled workers, do you think this Fuli Cotton Textile Factory, which is now on the verge of bankruptcy, will not be popular?"

"Let me tell you, if this is true, there would be no need to wait until now. A lot of people would have wanted to buy this factory a few years ago because the land it occupies is not small. And because it was established early and is located in the city center, it will definitely be developed sooner or later. By then, the entire factory will be relocated to the suburbs. The income from the land alone can make back all the money we spent on buying the factory today."

If that's the case, Meng Wenxian is still too conservative.

The limitations of the times made him simply unable to understand that after the millennium, third- and fourth-tier cities ushered in large-scale development and the value of land in the city center.

Lu Yang heard Uncle Meng say these words.

The retreat drum that was just about to be sounded was immediately withdrawn quietly.

I thought: there are one or two hundred disabled people, but they are also workers. Although they may not be as efficient as normal and healthy workers, at least they can be supported without spending too much money. It seems that if I calculate it this way, it is not impossible, right?
"Uncle Meng, can you introduce the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory? Is its factory area really large? Is its location particularly good?"

Lu Yang still didn't give up.

Seeing that Lu Yang was so persistent, Meng Wenxian had already made it clear that the municipal government would definitely not simply sell the factory and leave the long-standing issue of workers to deal with. The factory and the workers, including those who were currently on standby at home, would definitely be packaged and sold together.

No matter who takes over, it will be a big trouble, after all, there are hundreds of disabled people.

There are hundreds of disabled families behind them.

Aren't you ready to give up even this?

Can't you be scared?

"Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you about it. Since we're in the same business, I have a pretty good understanding of the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory. The factory is located in Qijingwan, Xianghe District, not far from the city government. The building area is about 10,000 square meters, which is one-fifth or one-sixth the size of our state-owned cotton textile factory.

As for the total area, it is probably about a hundred acres. Even if it is not a hundred acres, there must be eighty or ninety acres. If you are really interested, you can go and investigate it in person.

By the way, their factory director is a classmate of mine, so he can be considered as my senior. He also attended a few of your grandfather’s classes back then, so we have some kind of relationship. I can ask him to come out, and you two can meet him.”

Lu Yang listened.

I muttered to myself: A hundred acres of land, that's not a small amount. In later times, for third-tier cities, what is the average base price in the city center?

What a headache!

What should I do if I can’t remember?
Lu Yang muttered again: Never mind, even if the commercial value of the land in the center of Baoqing City in the future can rise to hundreds of thousands per acre, or a hundred acres, wow, that would be worth a lot of money.

No wonder so many real estate developers are hoarding land all over the country in the future market. It turns out that land is so valuable.

Come on.

Not to be missed.

This business is promising.

Lu Yang made up his mind and said, "No, let's not trouble Uncle Meng. We should keep the little bit of incense and love from grandpa. We can't rely on this little bit of incense and love for everything, right?"

"You want to go and see it for yourself?"

Meng Wenxian looked at him differently.

"Yes, Uncle Meng, you guessed it right. I really want to go and see it first, and then talk to their leaders. If we can't reach an agreement, I will trouble you again, Uncle Meng."

Lu Yang spoke beautifully.

But in fact, even with the relationship between my grandfather and Uncle Meng and the director of the cotton textile factory whom he had never met, these relationships would be useless if Lu Yang really wanted to acquire the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory.

In the end, the people who can make the decision and talk to Lu Yang will definitely only be officials in the municipal government.

Instead, it was the leaders of the Fuli Cotton Textile Factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy and could not even pay its workers’ wages.

In the end, they may not even be able to decide their own destiny.

It all depends on how Lu Yang negotiates with the municipal government.

Good talk.

That means the management must accept it together.

It's not a good talk.

Then Lu Yang would definitely only accept ordinary workers. As for the management, he would not accept any of them, especially the corrupt officials among them. He would let these uncles go to the municipal government to arrange new retirement homes for them.

"Okay, kid. Since you want to find out the truth yourself first, I have no objection. But I still want to remind you that state-owned factories are complicated, and the reform of state-owned factories is even more complicated. It doesn't mean that you can definitely acquire them if you have money. The workers' demands are not all for money. They may oppose your acquisition for reasons you don't understand. If you make a fuss, even if you have the support of the municipal government, it is likely to cause your acquisition to go bankrupt, and you will be buried in the mud. You will not get anything, but you will be covered in blood. So you must be cautious. Do you understand?"

He was worried about Lu Yang's youthful vigor.

He completely disregarded the leadership of the Welfare Cotton Textile Factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Without any communication, the acquisition was proposed directly from top to bottom.

By then the superiors will agree, but the subordinates will not. Some people are not capable of accomplishing anything, but are good at doing harm. If they really fan the flames and make the workers riot, especially if these workers are disabled people who belong to a vulnerable group, it will be a lot of fun.

As a non-blood relative, Meng Wenxian wanted to warn his wife's promising son, but he was extremely careful for fear of hurting Lu Yang's self-esteem.

But Lu Yang is not really a young man.

How could I not hear the hidden meaning in his words?

So he said, "Uncle Meng, don't worry. I know what to do. A great man once said that uniting everything can unite strength. The strength of the upper class is strength, and the strength of the workers is also strength. If we really want to discuss the acquisition, we must wait for it to happen naturally before we can promote it. Otherwise, I will not act rashly."

Meng Wenxian showed an expression that showed that he was a teachable child.

Patting Lu Yang on the shoulder, he said, "Okay, it's getting late, go take a shower first."

At this moment, he wished so much that this was his own son.

If this was his own son, he would definitely wake up laughing in his dreams.

I looked at Lu Yang's back as he got up, rummaged through his suitcase, prepared to take out some clean clothes, and went to take a shower.

His eyes never moved away.

This made Ye Qiuyu, who was standing beside her, a little worried. She looked at the no longer young senior brother in front of her, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Lao Meng, if you really want a son, then let's go see a doctor in a few days, shall we?"

Meng Wenxian was stunned.

Then he laughed in silence, looking at his wife's uneasy expression, he couldn't help but hug her and comfort her, "What are you thinking about? We already have Mengmeng. Besides, this Xiao Lu is your son, and what's the difference between that and whether he is mine? No matter how he looks at me, I will definitely look at him the same as Mengmeng, so don't let your imagination run wild. Okay, go and clean up the room next to our master bedroom."

Having said that, he pushed his wife away.

This is the living room. It is not appropriate for a couple to hug each other in front of their children.
