Chapter 257: No Martial Ethics

After Lu Yang hung up the phone.

He hung the mobile phone back on his waist and stood there in a daze, thinking about the gains and losses of this phone call.

At this time, a voice came from the side.

"why?"

"what why?"

"Those shitty conditions you just put forward are nothing at all. If Fuli Cotton Textile Factory wants to reform successfully, what it really needs to solve is the problem of redundant staff. Why didn't you mention it just now? I clearly told you."

The old man stood up and glared at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang is not stupid.

Also reacted.

He said to the old man, "Do you know me? You knew I wasn't here to collect debts? But we shouldn't know each other, right? We've never met before."

Lu Yang was very sure.

Unless, Uncle Meng called the old man in front of him, his senior brother last night.

It shouldn't be.

Uncle Meng shouldn't be such a person. He wouldn't reveal his plan without my consent.

If this is true, then the other party is not worthy of your respect.

Sure enough, the old man glanced at Lu Yang.

Then he turned around and walked into his study. Under Lu Yang's strange gaze, he came out with a newspaper in his hand.

"Give."

"See for yourself."

Lu Yang subconsciously took the newspaper.

I found out that this was a copy of Baoqing Daily, and the front-page headline was a black and white photo.

He brags about himself inside.

Next to him, Deputy Mayor Xu was applauding him.

The newspaper wrote in the style of a commentator: “Young entrepreneurs: redefining the responsibilities of entrepreneurs.”

Throughout the article, a large number of his own words are quoted.

Especially the sentence he quoted from Mencius: "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world." Even the font was bolded.

"Young man, do you understand now?"

"understood."

Lu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I was just saying, how could a man who could become a factory director be so completely unvigilant? Uncle, you must have told me all the difficulties and secrets of the factory on purpose, right?"

Really, not a single one is fuel efficient.

Lu Yang discovered that since he started his business, every person he met, especially those who were older, if it weren't for the extra decades of memory that enriched his knowledge, if it were him before his rebirth, at this age, dealing with this group of people, he would probably be sold out and have to count money for them.

The old man said angrily: "Since you have seen it all and know my intentions, and I have already told you the answer, why didn't you also raise the request to reduce redundant staff during the phone call just now?

Do you know what you did wrong?
The area of ​​Fuli Cotton Textile Factory that really needs reform is precisely the overstaffing. There are more people who don't work than those who do. Isn't that ridiculous?
What's more, these guys are the bosses. You have no way to deal with them and you can't fire them. Their relationships are complicated and involve all levels of society and government agencies in the city. I can't do anything about them. Young man, do you think that if you acquire a factory, spend some money, and support them, everything will be fine?

I tell you it's impossible.

Either you get rid of them, or even if you buy the factory, you won’t be able to run it, and sooner or later you’ll run into the same problem I did, and by then, no matter how much money you have, it won’t be enough to pay the compensation.”

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Old man, aren't you afraid that I will fire you too?"

The old man blew his gray beard and said angrily, "You don't know how to appreciate kindness, do you? It's up to you. If you want to fire me, I'll be happy to have some free time. It's a deal. Whoever doesn't fire me will be a puppy."

If you are angry, just open your mouth and say whatever you want.

Lu Yang chuckled: "Don't blame me, old man. I was just joking. There is an old saying: 'An old man in the family is like a treasure.'"

You are like a treasure in this Fuli Cotton Textile Factory. Without you, those redundant employees would surely rebel, right? "

"Humph!"

"You know the stuff."

The old man turned his head aside and said, "Tell me, what do you want? The problem of redundant staff must be solved. If not, this factory cannot be reorganized. Young man, I advise you to take the money and open a new factory. It is more cost-effective."

This is true.

If he didn't feel that if he continued doing this, there would be no chance to save the factory from bankruptcy.

How could he say those words just now?

Lu Yang thought about it and decided not to hide it, especially from the old man in front of him, so he said, "Old man, to deal with those who don't follow the rules, we have to break the rules too, didn't you say that just now?
These people are from powerful backgrounds. If they dare to collect salaries without doing anything, there must be someone behind them!

If I were to take over, I would dare to make excessive demands and lay off all these redundant employees, leaving only those workers who are willing to work hard.

Do you think that even with the help of Vice Mayor Xu, if it is brought to the Standing Committee, is it likely to be passed? "

The old man shook his head: "Maybe not."

"That's right. Since I've mentioned it, the chances of it being passed are slim. Why should I mention it?"

"But if you don't mention it, it will still be there. It won't disappear. You worked so hard and spent so much money to buy the factory, and spent millions to complete its industrial upgrade. Haven't you ever considered that if you can't clear these redundant employees out of the team during this period, the money you earn in the future won't even be enough to pay them?"

The old man said excitedly.

Judging from the posture, one can see that he is full of disappointment.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "But I didn't say I wouldn't get rid of them!"

Just when the old man showed a puzzled expression.

Lu Yang laughed: "When dealing with this kind of people, we don't need to follow any rules. Didn't I just say that? If I had known it earlier, this kind of thing would definitely mobilize the connections behind them to mess with us.

But does this matter need to be discussed in the Standing Committee first?

The secretary, mayor, deputy mayor, and standing committee members all nodded one by one, and the matter could not be reversed.

At that time, I slapped my forehead and said, "Oh no, I forgot that there must be a charter for the workers. According to the rules of the Disabled Persons' Federation, I will definitely accept all disabled people, but normal people who are not disabled, whether they are in management or non-management, must all go through an assessment. Only those who pass the assessment will be retained. If they fail the assessment, then the government will have to arrange for this person and find another place for him.

Do you think the government will agree?
Or will they turn against me, an investor, for one of these redundant staff members and even disregard the proposals passed by the Standing Committee?"

The old man said in admiration: "Okay, okay, I'm relieved that you can be so shameless. I think you can do it, so I'm relieved to leave the factory to you."
