Cao Yuer has a plan in her heart, for her own plan, she is more obedient, rolling in the pile of cotton piles day by day, making her unkempt and not complaining again and again, The work that Li's mother and sixth sister-in-law brought, although she was reluctant, she still did it carefully.
It's a good thing to do now, it's all contracted by Cao Yuer's master and servant.
It can save some expenses for the master and the lady. Mama Li and the sixth sister-in-law are overjoyed. They are more interested in urging Cao Yuer to work. Playing around every day has no time to spare.
There have long been many irreconcilable contradictions between the Western powers and countries. When the war broke out, more than half of the countries in Europe were instantly involved. , looking around.
The Orientals took this opportunity to declare war on Germany far away in Europe. As soon as the Orientals showed their attitude internationally, they quickly dispatched troops to occupy Longkou and Jinan, and took control of the Jiaoji Railway. With the support of the British, they captured Qingdao, which was colonized by Germany.
The ambition of the Orientals is far more than that. After the capture of Qingdao, they want to take the Jiaozhou Peninsula in their pockets, stand firm and then look at the land of China. Therefore, the warships of the Orientals are in the country all day long. Jiaozhou Bay in the Bohai Sea patrolled back and forth. After they increased the strength of Shandong and Fengtian, they imposed martial law in Kanto. The Japanese and overseas Chinese were also recalled to China. After posing for a battle, they proposed to the Beiyang government led by the President "Twenty-one" articles on national subjugation and genocide.
If the "twenty-one" clauses are agreed, all the mines in the country will be mined by the Orientals, the consultants and teachings of the domestic military, political and financial leaders will be held by the Orientals, and the various railways will also be controlled by the Orientals , Shandong and Manchuria, as well as the major coastal ports and islands, are all controlled by Orientals. Police stations all over the country must hire most Orientals, and Orientals are given priority in China.
All these regulations put Huaxia in a doomed situation. Once this regulation is signed, Huaxia will fall into a situation where it will be fully colonized. He seeks the support of the international community and the domestic people, while he repeatedly deals with the Orientals.
Jinmen is close to the Jiaozhou Peninsula. Since 20 years ago, this has been the training ground of the President. The "recruits" of the President are arrayed outside Jinmen. All up and down are the colors of the wind.
No matter how the big figures at the top plan, for the people living at the bottom of the society, as long as the war does not hit their eyes, they cannot stop working for one day, and the whole family needs food and clothing Chew it, stop it for a day, and the family will have no food for a day. In this case, although the atmosphere on the street is tense, people are vigilant, and pedestrians are hurrying, but they still maintain basic operations.
In this case, Dashengchang's business is naturally not easy to do.
The silk spinning mill, which has always been specialized in export business, has long been in a semi-shutdown state. The main customers of the silk spinning mill are several big businessmen from the United Kingdom and Germany. Now the United Kingdom and Germany have become dead enemies in the European battlefield. The fight is so hard that many expatriates can't even care about the industry in China. They returned to the country early to participate in the war. How can they enjoy these beautiful oriental silks?
The raw silk factory only has a small number of manpower and machines to take some small domestic orders, and the rest are all transferred to the cotton spinning factory by Wang Qingqing.
The cotton spinning industry is not easy to do, the war is imminent, and the situation in Jiaozhou and the Bohai Sea is tense.
The cotton fabrics produced by Dashengchang are piled up in warehouses and warehouses, but they cannot be sold. People in the factory are also panicking. Not only the bottom-level employees are panicked, but even the management Conversation started.
No merchant would be foolish enough to do a loss-making business. With such a large factory, it consumes not a small amount of silver to operate a day, and the cloth produced cannot be sold. How long can Dashengchang last? When it can't support it, will the owner stop work? Will the factory be closed? After the factory was shut down, where should the people who depended on the factory make a living?
Zhang Minzhong, the general manager of Dashengchang Cotton Spinning Factory, just finished a meeting. After exhausting his words, he finally appeased the managers of all sizes. Zhang Minzhong was already exhausted physically and mentally.
He sat in his office and flipped through a stack of documents. After three months, the funds on the books will be exhausted. At that time, Dashengchang will only be left with a mountain of finished cotton cloth and nearly 20,000 employees who cannot receive wages.
And the current situation, in his opinion, is impossible to improve within three months, let alone the President can't accept the twenty-one, but any **** can't accept it, It is said that in three months, the country will start a war like that in Europe. What should Dashengchang do then?
Zhang Minzhong stood up from behind the desk, walked to the window and looked at the hurrying employees in the factory downstairs, his brows tightened, if Dashengchang stopped work, it would not only affect Only 20,000 employees affect the 20,000 families behind the 20,000 employees and the livelihood of nearly 100,000 people.
How are these people supposed to survive?
"Alas!" Zhang Minzhong rubbed his brows and sighed, "I'd rather be a peace dog than a chaotic man!"
"General Manager." The secretary in a long shirt knocked on the open door: "Young master is back, in her office."
"Okay, I'll go see her right away." Zhang Minzhong picked up the prepared documents on his desk and tucked them under his arm, and hurried to Wang Qingqing's office, Zhang Minzhong frowned along the way Suo, Shaodong's family seldom comes to the factory recently. If you want to communicate with her, you have to seize the opportunity.
Three months ago, when the Western countries started war, Wang Qingqing hurriedly took away a large amount of dividends. At this critical moment, Zhang Minzhong was reluctant to use malice to speculate on Shaodong's behavior, but her move still made Zhang Minzhong mutter in his heart.
Frowning Zhang Minzhong stepped into Wang Qingqing's office, looked carefully, and saw Wang Qingqing's hidden joy, his heart sank, and he immediately asked: "Young master, The current situation is severe, and our products can't be sold, what's your best plan?"
"Brother Min Zhong, in such a situation, a business genius like you can't do anything. Where can I get a good plan?"
Without a good plan, the young owner is still in such a good mood. It can be seen that she did not take the livelihood of the tens of thousands of employees of Dashengchang in her heart, and she was worried about it. A woman who is praised by political dignitaries, dignitaries and progressives, and a pioneer of the women's affirmative movement, she doesn't care about the crisis situation in Dashengchang. Zhang Minzhong's heart flutters to the bottomless place. go.
"I..." As soon as Zhang Minzhong opened his mouth, he felt that his throat was so clogged, he stopped to calm down and cleared his throat: "I've thought about it for a while, as it is now This trend continues. The money on the books can only support three months at most. No one can say whether the situation will ease after three months. The employees in the factory have one day off and two days off."
"Do one and take two breaks?" Wang Qingqing said in surprise: "Why do you have this idea?"
Why am I thinking this way? Zhang Minzhong can't wait to roar at Wang Qingqing with a look of surprise, isn't he forced?
The young owner is not a newcomer in the business world, how could she not understand the intention of this plan? Such amazement only shows that she did not take the livelihood of Dashengchang's tens of thousands of employees into her heart at all!
Zhang Minzhong turned his face out of the window, for a while he felt infinite sadness in his heart, the mountains and rivers were broken, the people were struggling, and those who had the ability only cared about themselves, where is the way of life for the hundreds of millions of ordinary people on this land of China?
"Take a look at this plan." Zhang Minzhong avoided answering, but stubbornly handed the plan in his hand to Wang Qingqing. His ability is limited, and he can only win for these tens of thousands of employees. These are.
Wang Qingqing took over the plan and flipped through it. Zhang Minzhong is indeed a genius in the business world. With his plan, Dashengchang can last until this time next year without great changes in the external situation. The plan was done in great detail, all the affairs were carried out, and there was no omission in the subtleties, and the good intentions can be seen.
"Brother Minzhong, you've worked hard." Wang Qingqing walked out from behind the desk, sat on the chair next to Zhang Minzhong and said to him convincingly, "Brother Minzhong is talented, this plan is detailed and feasible, Qingqing admires it."
Zhang Minzhong lowered his head and looked at the lines on his gown in silence, this false flattery is useless, he doesn't want to waste a little bit of emotion on it.
"According to Brother Minzhong's plan, tens of thousands of employees of Dashengchang can only receive guaranteed wages. Now that the situation is severe, prices, especially food prices, are soaring. How can these guaranteed wages allow employees to How about making a living?"
Wang Qingqing tapped the little table in front of him with the plan: "If the employees can't make a living, how can they work with peace of mind? It’s hard to manage, and there will inevitably be some unexpected turmoil.”
"The world is difficult, talk to the employees well, they will understand, and I hope they can overcome the difficulties together with Da Shengchang." Although Zhang Minzhong felt that Wang Qingqing was thinking too much, she was worried It wasn't even aimless, and finally gave Wang Qingqing a positive face.
"Hey, don't try to test people's hearts and humanity." Wang Qingqing shook his head: "At the juncture of life and death, how many people will be considerate of others? If you are provoked by that caring person for a sentence or two, you will be flat. It's not impossible to have a fight."
"In the opinion of the young master, how can this matter be done well?" Zhang Minzhong raised his head and glared at Wang Qingqing. She pushed back on her plan and tried to speculate about the future as bad as possible, thinking that she did not agree with her. He was waiting for Wang Qingqing to speak out about the decision to close the factory, dismiss employees, and seal up the machines.
"The factory is operating as usual, the wages of the employees are paid, the situation is critical, and how many cotton farmers sell cotton for grain, as long as they are shipped, we Dashengchang will buy them all, and the purchase price will also be based on the proportion of the grain price increase. As soon as the price rises, and the price of food rises, some poor people will be unsustainable. The notices for recruiting female workers in the newspapers will continue to be published. Look for newspapers with great influence and wide coverage to publish more, and the conditions for recruiting workers are also Be as relaxed as possible."
Wang Qingqing frowned and said her plan and turned to Zhang Minzhong: "I only think of this at the moment, does Brother Minzhong have any suggestions?"
Zhang Minzhong's eyes widened and his mouth widened: "Where's the money? Where does the money come from?"
Are you stupid? Da Shengchang has no money on its books!
