Rebirth 85: Profits start from repairing sewing machines

Chapter 369 Buying a Machine

Lei Cheng laughed, but he had a better impression of Chen Cheng, "Let's talk about it directly, what do you know about Wuhai Machinery Factory?"

"I need a batch of machines on hand, and the ones from Wuhai Machinery Factory are very suitable for us, but I have asked their price, it is a bit expensive, I think I can bargain a price, but the other party seems not willing to lower the price, so I just wanted to see if I could get to know them, where to start, and try to cut down the price."

This way they will understand.

"It's easy to handle!" Lei Cheng said, "what do you want to know?"

"The matter of layoffs!"

"There's nothing to say about it. It's just that we have been losing money for years, so we have to make up our minds to cut down. According to the above estimates, there may be about 400 people who are going to cut down. Of course, several batches of people have been cut down before, um, I heard that the last batch will be cut before the birth, and there may be about 40 people."

"But their downsizing is not smooth!" Qin Yi on the side continued, "I also heard that the entire Wuhai Machinery Factory probably has thousands of people, and 400 people have been laid off, which is almost half. This ratio is quite good. It’s too high. It’s hard to choose among the 300 people in front. This time, another [-] people will be laid off. It can be said that the pressure is very high. Many of them are old employees with rich work experience, so this time The pressure is even greater than before, I heard that it was the same as your father-in-law's factory, there was a fight two days ago, of course, only they knew about it internally, they didn't tell the outside world."

Chen Cheng was not surprised at all.

The workers in that era had iron rice bowls. Although the wages were not high, it was enough for the family to live on.

So if they are to be laid off, the sky is falling. Many people have worked in factories all their lives, and when they are suddenly let go, they are at a loss and don't know what to do.

It's no wonder they don't hit people!

"Now their factory is in a difficult situation!" Qin Yi said, "Although things are under pressure, if the layoffs continue like this, what will these workers do if they make trouble again? To tell you the truth, whether it is layoffs or reductions, in fact It is also a last resort, but everyone does not want to see a fight like this, so this incident is a test for them."

Chen Cheng thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I know the job is difficult, but the difficult job is my chance."

"I know what you're going to do!" Lei Cheng quickly remembered what happened at the Shunping garment factory last time, and couldn't help laughing and said, "By using your strength, right?"

Chen Cheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Leike, I think you should go into business."

"I'm not interested!" Lei Cheng said with a smile, "Okay, then go and have a good talk with their factory manager tomorrow and try to get it."

"Okay, no problem!"

With their reminders and knowing their situation, Chen Cheng has a lot of confidence.

The next morning, Chen Cheng went to visit Director Zhang again.

At this time, Director Zhang was having a morning meeting.

"Comrades, the holiday is coming soon, and this matter must be resolved before the end of the year!" Factory Manager Zhang slapped the table loudly, "I don't care about that much, Director Xu, it's a matter of your workshop, you immediately Go and appease them for me, no matter what, these forty people must be laid off."

"Director Zhang, if I had a way to persuade them, I would have done it long ago, do you still need to say that?" Director Xu said helplessly, "It's not that you haven't seen the situation that day. Tell them about this again, do you believe they can kill me?"

"Otherwise, let's be tough!" One of the managers said, "Notify them directly and let them go. If they don't want to go, we will take them out."

"Bullshit!" Factory Manager Zhang was so angry that he was about to yell, "What do you think you are doing? We are talking about serious business, and we do it every now and then. Who do you think you are?"

The manager was a little embarrassed and could only keep silent.

"If things really get worse, do you think we can sit here? At that time, I think we will be the ones who will be laid off!" Factory Manager Zhang was a little annoyed, "Don't leave, just think of a way for me here, If you don't want to come up with a way, don't move!"

After saying that, Director Zhang left.

At this moment, Chen Cheng parked his car and walked in.

"Stop!" He heard a familiar voice as soon as he came in, turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Qiang who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Zhou Qiang obviously didn't expect to see Chen Cheng here.

Looking at Zhou Qiang's eyes, there is hatred.

"Who let it in?" Zhou Qiang didn't seem to know Chen Cheng, pointed at him and said, "Get me out immediately, get out, this person is a thief!"

The people from the security department hurried out.

"He's not a thief!" The uncle who brought Chen Cheng in yesterday hurriedly explained, "He's looking for the factory manager to discuss business."

"Him?" Zhou Qiang laughed, "A person who sells electrical appliances at a stall, what kind of business can he talk to the factory manager? It's a joke. Hurry up and drive him out."

At this moment, the figure of Director Zhang appeared in Chen Cheng's sight.

"Director Zhang!" Chen Cheng greeted.

Factory Manager Zhang was startled, and walked over: "Boss Chen, here we come."

"Comrade Zhou Qiang Zhou has nothing to do, even the security guard has let him work part-time." Chen Chengpi asked with a smile on his face.

Director Zhang frowned.

Zhou Qiang cursed secretly in his heart, he really is Director Zhang's guest.

How did this guy mess around?

He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only forcefully explain: "I saw that he came in sneakily just now, so I thought he was some kind of thief..."

"All right, all right!" Zhang Zhang said, "Zhou Qiang, work hard at work. Although the holiday is coming soon, you have to do a good job for me. Look at how many people have lost their jobs. Don't you want to do it anymore?"

"No!" Zhou Qiang felt a little resentful in his heart, but his face was respectful, "I'll do something right away."

Said and left.

"Please!" Factory Manager Zhang led Chen Cheng to the office.

Chen Cheng could see it, obviously their machines were not easy to sell, so Factory Manager Zhang was very polite to him.

After going in and sitting down, Chen Cheng said, "Director Zhang, let's be honest, can the price be lowered?"

"Boss Chen, it's not that I don't want to lower the price, it's that I really have no way to lower it. Our machines are all the best, and this price is already very low..."

"Director Zhang, don't tell me anything else, is there something difficult for you recently?"

Factory Manager Zhang was taken aback, slowly sat up straight, and said with a smile, "What is Boss Chen talking about?"

"Your factory will lay off 40 people a year ago, right?" Chen Cheng said, "I heard that there was a fight a few days ago, and you are going to have a holiday right away? If this continues, will you be able to complete the task of layoffs a year ago?" Yeah. If you can’t cut it, then you can’t do business!”
