Looking for the Steelworks Manager
Xu Wenqiang looked at the steel mill that he had built with satisfaction. Now everything was ready except for the east wind. He still needed a lot of people to do things and a factory manager to manage it. He couldn't keep an eye on this place every day.
Just as Xu Wenqiang was thinking about who to look for, his subordinate reported that Xu Zhimo and his wife Xiaoman Lu had come to visit. Xu Wenqiang was a little surprised. These two were rare guests, but Fang Yanyun was very happy that they came. After all, they were her good friends in Beiping.
"Mr. Xu, Miss Lu, please come in.”Xu Wenqiang smiled and led the two into the house.
Xu Zhimo and Xu Wenqiang exchanged a few pleasantries before sitting down one after another. Xiaoman Lu and Fang Yanyun went into the room to chat. Women always had endless topics to talk about.
Xu Wenqiang was also quite optimistic about Xu Zhimo. There were not many scholars with such noble qualities. The two of them chatted happily and soon abandoned those polite titles.
Hearing Xu Wenqiang talk about building a steel mill, Xu Zhimo admired Xu Wenqiang's ability. In a short period of time, he had become a big shot in Shanghai. Now, he had also built a steel mill. This kind of talent was really rare.
"Wenqiang, you're really something. Why? Now that you've set up a steel mill, do you want to help the country?”
Xu Wenqiang smiled and said," It's naturally best to do something for the country, but it's still too early to talk about this. My steel mill has just been built, and we don't have enough people. This is not a problem. We just need to recruit some people. As long as the treatment is good, there will be many people coming. It's just that it's not easy to find a manager.”
Xu Zhimo nodded. There were indeed not many managers in the country who could shoulder the responsibility alone. Most of them had been poached away.
Xu Zhimo thought for a moment and suddenly thought of someone.
"Wenqiang, I have a recommendation here. I don't know if you're interested.”
"Oh?" Xu Wenqiang was surprised,"Who can make you recommend me?"”
Xu Zhimo smiled and said,"He's also a friend of mine. His name is Chen Lianshan. He has a cotton mill. However, this cotton mill has been suppressed by foreigners for many years and has been on the verge of bankruptcy. He can't continue doing it. I know this Chen Lianshan. He's famous for being a good man and very patriotic. His ability to manage such a large cotton mill should meet your requirements. What do you think?"”
Xu Wenqiang was a little tempted and quickly said,"Then let's not delay. Let's go and take a look.”
"Okay, of course it's good that you have this intention. I also want to help him.”Xu Zhimo stood up with a smile.
After greeting Fang Yanyun and Xiaoman Lu, Xu Wenqiang and Xu Zhimo got into the car and went straight to Chen Lianshan's cotton mill.
Chen Lianshan's cotton mill wasn't too big, but there were many workers.
However, they had basically stopped working now. Many workers were squatting in the corner smoking. When they saw Xu Wenqiang and Xu Zhimo, they only glanced at them and turned around with a worried expression.
Xu Wenqiang nodded secretly. It seemed that what Xu Zhimo said was true. This factory was indeed on the verge of bankruptcy.
Some of the workers also had an impression of Xu Zhimo. When they saw the two approaching, they nodded and greeted him. Xu Zhimo brought Xu Wenqiang straight to Chen Lianshan's office.
Before they walked in, they heard noisy voices coming from inside. It seemed that someone was arguing about something. Xu Wenqiang pulled Xu Zhimo to stand at the door and did not rush in.
"Comrades, I, Chen Lianshan, have no ability. I originally wanted to save the country through industry, but I didn't expect these foreigners to be so powerful that they suppressed our factory. Just now, I went bankrupt, and I really can't take out the money to pay everyone's wages. However, I, Chen Lianshan, won't treat everyone badly. There are some furniture here. Everyone can divide it as a salary. I hope everyone won't dislike it.”
"Boss, we know your difficulties. It's not your fault that we've come to this point. It's all because those damn foreigners are too ruthless.”
"That's right, Boss. You're a good person. You gave us the capital to support our family. You supported us in the past, but now that the factory is in trouble, how can we watch you go bankrupt?”
"Yes, Boss, we won't take it!”
"Yes, we won't take it!"
The noisy workers inside were shouting one after another. Some of them had genuine reluctance on their faces.
Xu Wenqiang and Xu Zhimo stood quietly at the door and watched this scene. They could not help but feel a little emotional.
"Everyone…"
Chen Lianshan was a little choked up. He did not expect that there would be so many people who understood and supported him at this point. His hard work back then was not in vain.
A worker walked up and took out a cloth bag and placed it on the table. He said,"Boss, we also know the situation in the factory. This is the money that all of us have put together. It's not much, but it's all from the hearts of our workers. This is all that we can help you with.”
Chen Lianshan looked at the cloth bag on the table, and tears almost flowed out. He looked at everyone and was speechless.
The farewell meeting that could not be said to be the main topic lasted for a long time. Xu Wenqiang and Xu Zhimo did not disturb everyone until the workers left.
Xu Wenqiang looked at Chen Lianshan, who was secretly wiping his tears. He felt a little touched. This guy was indeed a good person. It was worth handing over the factory to him.
"Mr. Chen!" Xu Wenqiang walked over with a smile and extended his hand.
"Shima." Chen Lianshan was a little surprised. He looked at Xu Wenqiang and asked,""And you are?"
Xu Wenqiang smiled." I'm Xu Wenqiang. I was deeply moved by Mr. Chen's touching scene today!"”
Chen Lianshan and Xu Wenqiang shook hands and smiled bitterly,""I've let you see a joke. You said you're Xu Wenqiang? Was it Xu Wenqiang who defeated Chen Zhen and the Japanese samurai?”
Xu Wenqiang nodded and admitted,"Yes, it's me."”
"What do you want from me?" Chen Lianshan asked in confusion.”
Xu Zhimo said," I've told Wenqiang about your situation. He's also very concerned about your situation. It just so happens that Wenqiang has just established a steel mill and is in need of manpower, so he came to find you."”
"It's true!" Chen Lianshan felt like there was a silver lining.
"It's true." Xu Wenqiang smiled." I can see that Mr. Chen is a capable and good factory manager. I believe that you won't waste your talent if you work for me. As long as you agree, I'll let you manage my factory in the future."”
Xu Wenqiang was brought here by Xu Zhimo. Chen Lianshan did not doubt what they said, but he still had deep feelings for his factory. He was really reluctant to part with it.
