Obviously, Shen Zhengfeng had left behind a huge mess.
Just then, Sun Jianhua returned from the workers’ dorms, his expression grim. "The workers said the factory is already two months behind on their pay," he reported. "If they don’t get their wages soon, they’ll have no choice but to take factory property to settle the debt."
’If they take all the machinery, the factory will be nothing but an empty shell!’
In truth, Zheng Duo knew how to solve this problem. From a business perspective, it wasn’t a particularly difficult or thorny issue. frёewebnoѵēl.com
However, the factory belonged to Xiao Yi and his partners, and Zheng Duo wanted them to develop their own business philosophy and ideas. He knew his sister, Du Liya, well. She was great at creating innovative, trendy fashion designs, but she lacked the decisiveness needed to run a factory.
The workers’ deliberate slowdown had infuriated her to the point of silence. Beidou was right beside her, doing his best to comfort her.
’It looked like they couldn’t count on Liya to run the factory.’
However, after what had just transpired, Zheng Duo had a newfound respect for Qin Jiao. He asked, "Xiao Jiao, do you have any ideas?"
"The solution is simple. First, we need to get a clear picture of the backlogged inventory—the quality, style, quantity, colors, and so on. Once we have that, we can draw up a sales plan. Since the clothes have already been made, we have to find a way to sell them. Selling them is the only way to generate working capital and get the whole factory operating again."
"Second, we need to go to the factory and figure out who is deliberately slowing down on their own and who is being instigated by others. We also have to identify the leeches like Xu Da who are bleeding the factory dry and root them out."
"Of course, besides selling off the current inventory, we also need to actively pursue new markets and land new orders. That’s the next step, though. It will require some replanning to determine the factory’s overall style. We’ll pick a suitable style, and then we’ll change the current name, Hongyun."
Qin Jiao looked up and concluded in a level tone, "After all, this isn’t Shen Zhengfeng’s factory anymore."
Zheng Duo’s eyes filled with admiration. He smiled and said, "Excellent. Just stick to that plan, and don’t panic. You and Xiao Yi can hammer out the details later. If you run into any problems you can’t solve, you can come to me."
Zheng Duo couldn’t stay for long. He had returned mainly to attend the two weddings, and he had a mountain of work waiting for him at his company abroad.
Zheng Zhuli, however, could stay a while longer, and she decided to remain behind to help them out.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiao had her parents and uncle go clean up the cafeteria and take inventory of everything that was missing. freewebnoveℓ.com
Qin Jiao, for her part, pulled out the employee files and began going through them one by one, checking who was responsible for what. She would occasionally ask Du Liya about a particular person’s relationship with Shen Zhengfeng.
Watching Qin Jiao slip into work mode so quickly, Du Liya murmured, "I used to think Xiao Jiao was just a good student, but now I see she’s a quick study at everything!"
Zheng Duo smiled in appreciation. "Once she’s a little older, she could do great things with some advanced training."
"In that case, Beidou and I will postpone our wedding," Du Liya decided on the spot. "We’ll wait until things here are back on track before we go abroad."
Besides, leaving the factory’s affairs unsettled would feel like leaving a problem hanging over their heads.
After a full day of work, everyone returned to the courtyard home. There, Qin Jiao and Shen Yi began discussing how to sell the clothes.
