Chapter 68 The wave of layoffs is coming(1/2)
"No, in the next period of time, I have to run connections and go through formalities in the city. I won't just stay in the mountains for a month."
It's really not right to think of being away from home for a month.
After leaving for such a long time, Liu Hongchang himself was actually thinking about home in the next few days.
It was the first time I went out to play by myself. I got into the fun and got a little too wild, but I didn't hold it back.
Later, Liu Hongchang himself was also prepared to control it. A person with elders above him and younger ones below cannot ignore his family.
"You and Liuzi can go over to deal with the mine matters separately. Don't stay with our two families in the city. Not a single man is left. Something happened in the factory at home, and there is no one left."
Yang Maixiang took over the factory completely for the first time and was obviously under some pressure.
"What happened at home and in the factory?"
Listen to what Yang Maixiang said, something must have happened.
Although Liu Hongchang went to the mine after having arranged everything.
But unexpected situations are accidents, that is, unexpected.
"I won't talk about our family's affairs. They are all trivial matters. Mom and I can handle them. But there are only the young couple in Liuzi's family. When Liuzi left, Yanzi was left alone. Why didn't you think about Yanzi and take Liuzi with you?
It takes so long to leave."
"There's something going on at Liuzi's house. Is it Yanzi's side or Liuzi's parents?" Liu Hongchang asked anxiously.
Liu Hongchang still has great feelings for Liuzi, his apprentice who follows him all day long.
Although he is not much older than Liu Zi, Liu Hongchang is mature at heart.
He also holds the title of master, and he always has a bit of an old father's mentality towards his six sons.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing, the swallow is here."
"When did this happen?"
"I accompanied her to the hospital for a checkup just two days ago, and then I notified you of her return."
"Yanzi, is she doing well?"
"fine."
"That's fine, let her take care of her with peace of mind. I will go out to do errands later and try not to take my six children with me."
It is indeed important for the sixth son to become a father.
Liu Hongchang was not going to play with Liu Zi anymore.
However, the loss of six sons did not affect Liu Hongchang. With so many people employed in the mine, Liu Hongchang did not have to worry about finding anyone to go into the mountains with him.
Liu Hongchang spent most of his time in the city and the other half in the mountains. Liu Hongchang lived like this for three years.
Liu Hongchang went to the mountains not just for fun, but after successfully contracting two mines with good reserves.
Liu Hongchang is also considered successful. He achieved financial freedom before the age of thirty-five.
If it hadn't been for production as soon as possible after contracting, Liu Hongchang would have been free two years earlier.
Being able to contract coal mines at cheap prices means that the local area does not have the ability to open up.
Due to development and taxation needs, the contract was contracted to individuals.
When there was a need for production, Liu Hongchang took the time to build the mine and arrange for it to be put into production.
Now that both mines are on track in all aspects, Liu Hongchang can spend more time in the city.
As the 1990s approached, the city became noticeably more modern.
The infrastructure mania can be regarded as just beginning to emerge.
Many high-rise buildings have been built and many construction sites have been opened.
Although commercial housing and residential buildings are not yet popular, other high-rise buildings have begun to be built.
It can be said that various aspects of entertainment, including KTV and dance halls, have also kept pace.
There are also a lot more trucks and cars on the road, and the traffic is much more congested than before.
After the city became crowded, it looked much more energetic than before.
"Director Liu, someone is looking for you at the factory gate."
Although Liu Hongchang was not doing anything in the stationery factory, he wanted to show that he was not an idler in the city.
When I have nothing to do, I will occasionally sit in the factory for a while.
He still gave himself the title of chairman.
Liuzi, the shareholder, is of course the vice chairman.
Yang Maixiang is the general manager, and Yanzi is the vice president and financial director.
Positions have been clearly divided according to the modern management system.
All state-owned enterprises are undergoing restructuring and gradually improving their management systems.
In a private enterprise like a stationery factory, the boss can make decisions at his own word, so changes can be made faster, and of course, modern management systems will be introduced faster.
"Who is looking for me?"
"Said he was an old coworker from your days in the No. 2 Canteen."
"Invite them in."
Liu Hongchang said to the guy from Mengang.
The janitors in state-owned enterprises like to use uncles, but private factories do not take care of the needs of veteran comrades.
Of course, young guys were chosen to stand guard.
"Da Liu, is this your office?"
"Da Liu, your office is much more elegant than Director Yao Guofa's office."
"Master Liu, are you really the big boss now?"
Liu Hongchang originally thought it was just one person, but without thinking about the Mengang guy, seven or eight people were brought in all of a sudden.
Liu Hongchang's office is actually not very luxurious. It is simply equipped with a set of mahogany office desks, desks, sofas, coffee tables, bookcases, and TVs.
But my own factory is a large office with an area of more than 30 square meters, which is clean and brightly decorated.
It's bigger than most people's homes here, so it looks relatively luxurious.
They are all poor people who have entered the second cafeteria and have no chance of being assigned a house.
If the target does not have a good unit to allocate a room to, there will be three generations of the same family, and several families will be squeezed into three small rooms.
"Sister Wang, Xiao Song...you are all here, sit down quickly, please sit down."
Although when they were in the No. 2 Canteen, because Liu Hongchang and Liu Zi lived too much and lived too comfortably, the co-workers were a little envious and jealous of them.
But in such a small unit, there can't be much room for troubles or small problems. After leaving, there will be no conflicts and they will naturally disappear.
Generally speaking, the relationship is good. Liu Hongchang also misses the fishing days in the cafeteria, and he treats these people warmly.
"Da Liu, are we here to ask you to come?"
"What's wrong? Did something happen in the cafeteria?" Seeing so many people, Liu Hongchang already had an ominous premonition.
"Our second canteen closed down and everyone was laid off."
"I just went there last month. Isn't the canteen still open?"
Liu Hongchang knew that the Second Canteen would close down, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I will go to the Second Canteen every once in a while.
The business of the Second Canteen is far worse than before.
But in the catering industry, if there are old customers for many years and the chef's skills are good, there will always be a certain amount of customer flow.
From all aspects, it is hard to see that No. 2 Canteen will suddenly be unable to operate.
"Brother, I heard someone came to our canteen!" Liuzi ran over and asked.
"Liuzi, you came just in time to see if Yanzi is busy. If she is not busy, call her over and let's have a chat together." Liu Hongchang first said to Liuzi at the door.
"Let's have a cup of tea first, and we'll talk together when the others arrive."
After several people came in, they were so polite that Liu Hongchang didn't even bother to pour tea for them.
While Liu Zi went to call for help, Liu Hongchang made tea for a few people and asked them to control their emotions.
"It was a sudden notice that someone was willing to use the space of our Second Canteen to open a large restaurant, so our Second Canteen was cancelled. After working for so many years, the Second Canteen is gone!"
Sister Wang was filled with emotions as she spoke, including a mixture of fear, resentment, worry, pity, and disappointment.
"Then I'll take some time to go back and take a look. Even if I want to go back and take a look in the future, there's no other canteen."
Liu Zi also has feelings for Er Canteen.
I have been working for ten years. Not only did I meet Liu Hongchang in the Second Canteen, but I also met my wife in the Second Canteen.
