Chapter 18 One Step Closer "First of all, I want to say that I have 100% trust in all of you here!" This is Cao Yukun’s opening remarks. At this moment, everyone in the conference room was a stranger to Cao Yukun. And obviously, no one would believe him. What he faced were pairs of confused and flustered eyes. However, surprisingly, when he really stood in front of these people and started talking, Cao Yukun unexpectedly found that he was miraculously not nervous anymore. At this moment, he even felt that he was terrifyingly strong! Just...bullshit! Make guarantees, make promises, and reassure people! Just like what your boss once did to you. "Director Song asked me before if there were any personnel that needed to be replaced. If so, he could take those people away and arrange for them to work at the winery. I said no, I won't let anyone go! All the people in the beverage factory now are what I need, and none of them can be lost!" This sentence was improvised, mainly because my brother-in-law was obviously really emotional just now, and the managers of the beverage factory at the scene looked at me with obvious distrust in their eyes.
So, I'd like to give my brother-in-law a compliment and also give everyone some reassurance. Of course, the following words were basically what Cao Yukun had rehearsed himself. "I bought this factory not to make it my own or to arrange for a few of my relatives and friends to work there! I bought it to bring everyone together to build this factory. I want to bring everyone together and we will get rich together! As long as the factory makes money, I will increase everyone's salary and give everyone dividends..." "Of course, don't worry that I will do anything drastic right after I take over. After I take over, we will still follow the original method and nothing will change! I won't make any adjustments easily, so you can all continue to work with peace of mind! And I promise that the factory will never go bankrupt in my hands! I also promise that none of you present here today will be laid off because of me..." In fact, when rehearsing in his mind before, Cao Yukun once thought, is it too disgusting and hypocritical to say this? After all, no one knows better than himself that he is not serious about running a factory, and now he is giving people these empty promises... It's really... What’s the difference between these and those dog bosses in my previous life? However, at this moment, he found that after he had gritted his teeth and threw out this CUP rhetoric, everyone at the scene seemed to have relaxed a lot... No wonder bosses like to say this, it really works! ………… After all, I managed to get through it with just one breath. It was Cao Yukun’s first time being a boss and he felt very uncomfortable, but also obviously very excited. It's hard to say how effective my CUP rhetoric can be, but at least for now, it seems to be effective. At least everyone's eyes have become much calmer. Although I changed my boss, it seems that my job is saved... After finishing his words, Cao Yukun acted like a boss, shaking hands with each of the management members one by one and getting to know them again, trying his best to remember their names and positions this time. Then he said that he wanted to see the company's information and asked all departments to send the relevant materials to his office. After all, he was the boss, and although he looked inexperienced, everyone quickly delivered the basic materials of their respective departments to the general manager's office, which led to another round of exchanges. After some indirect hints, Cao Yukun finally figured it out. The two things I was about to do were both under the jurisdiction of the finance department, so I called the head of the finance department and told him to prepare the relevant materials immediately and then go and do the work. First, I had to handle the industrial and commercial and tax changes of the factory. Now that the boss has changed, you can’t expect to get a loan with just a contract. You still have to make the industrial and commercial changes, so that the beverage factory can truly belong to you. Secondly, the Volvo 740, which was originally an asset of the factory, was to be sold to the former general manager, Comrade Song Yuhuai, for one yuan. The reason for the low price was to commend General Manager Song for his outstanding work and contributions to the establishment of the factory in the past few years. After finishing all this, I found myself busy until noon without realizing it. Finally, no one came to deliver materials anymore. Cao Yukun collapsed in the boss chair left by his brother-in-law, let out a long breath, took out a cigarette and lit it. Only then did he feel that he could finally relax a little after being tense for the whole morning.
Tsk... I actually managed to do it! Of course, I have only bought it now - but, at least within half a year, as long as I don’t “do anything wrong”, this beverage factory will truly belong to me! Well, after completing the industrial and commercial and tax changes, I can prove that this factory belongs to me. Then, it seems that I can apply for a loan - huh! One step closer. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door again. Cao Yukun quickly sat up, hurriedly put the cigarette into the ashtray, and took a book from the pile of materials and spread it on the table, then shouted, "Come in!" He is the director of the general manager’s office, named Tao Mingqi. He is about 30 years old, not tall, and looks quite smart. Cao Yukun felt that he should be Song Yuhuai's confidant - past social experience told him that it was hard to say about other people, but the boss's office director, secretary and driver must be confidants. "Director Cao, it's time for lunch in the factory cafeteria. Do you want me to serve you the food, or..." "Oh, no need! Come on, let's go eat!" ………… The most prosperous period of Shimen Beverage Factory was probably the first six months after they opened. At that time, it was said that there were as many as five or six hundred workers. As the factory was not doing well, two groups of workers were laid off one after another. Now, including the management staff, there are less than two hundred people in total. However, the factory building was originally designed and built according to the standard specifications of a large factory with thousands of employees. The restaurant is an independent building, a two-story red building, but the second floor is now completely sealed off, and even the first floor is not full at all. Tao Mingqi brought Cao Yukun to the canteen and briefly introduced the situation of the factory along the way. After entering the canteen, he took Cao Yukun to the small canteen in the north. It is said that the factory implements two sets of food standards. The management of the factory enjoys special food allowances, so there is a small canteen where they can eat. After Cao Yukun entered the canteen, he subconsciously noticed that some workers were queuing up for meals, while others had already gotten their meals and were eating together in groups of three or five. But no matter which side they were on, everyone looked panicked, as if they were discussing something. After just a little hesitation, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I just got here, let me try our big pot meal first!" (End of this chapter)
