HPDBC Chapter 78 Uncle Shui hasn't opened for business for many days.
Chapter 78 Uncle Shui hasn't opened for business for many days.
When it comes to doing business, Chaozhou people are all workaholics, especially those who start from scratch!
The boss has to wear many hats, which is a basic requirement, and Lin Yuanshan is no exception.
He was in charge of the overall situation and also served as the accountant. He wore a suit and tie to meet clients and discuss business. But when he took off this outfit, he could also follow Bo Rong into the workshop and listen carefully to the other party's introduction of the machines and production process.
Even a few days ago, Lin Yuanshan personally experienced cleaning up waste materials with Wai Zai's help.
Throughout the entire production process, at every stage, while a lack of expertise is permissible, a thorough understanding is essential.
For example, right now, for 2254 yuan, Lin Yuanshan can come to the Shek Kip Mei branch in the middle of the day and force Xu Neng, the financial manager, to settle the accounts in advance.
Lin Yuanshan didn't care about losing face; the key was whether he could get the money, because he really didn't have much cash left.
If we buy five imported machines, our production capacity will increase at least fourfold, and we will also need to increase the number of employees to support them.
The costs include the canteen's three meals a day, the employees' salaries to be paid at the end of the month, and other production costs besides raw materials, such as water and electricity.
All things considered, he only has a little over 5000 yuan left, which may not be enough.
Running a real business is like this: unless you reach a stable period, you'll always be struggling financially, and people are always chasing after money.
Xu signed to share responsibility, and the finance manager immediately approved the funds.
Actually, this isn't exactly a violation of regulations. After all, the goods are already in the warehouse, and the money isn't much. It's better to give the old factory manager face.
Lin Yuanshan counted the items on the spot, then put them in his wallet. Before leaving, he even managed to make a phone call to Chen Bing: "Hey, Uncle Bing, I have a batch of obsolete secondhand machines. Are you interested...?"
Well, whether you're rich or poor, you're just trying to make a living.
That's all for now. I'm going back to Tongzhou Street now. Come to my factory and wait for me. We can all take a look and get an estimate.
Don't worry, it's definitely cheap.
This time, I guarantee you'll benefit!
How could I possibly scam just one person? That would make me seem so unsophisticated, wouldn't it?
After a few words, he hung up the phone.
Lin Yuanshan thanked the finance manager, lit a cigarette and handed it to him, then said goodbye to Xu Neng before leaving in a hurry with Tie Tou.
The finance manager looked at Xu Neng with a complicated expression: "Factory Director Xu, the new owner you chose is really..."
Unable to find the right words to describe Lin Yuanshan, the finance manager shook his head: "I don't understand him. I always feel that he's a bit too pragmatic."
Xu Neng smiled but didn't explain. He thought to himself, "Otherwise, you're over forty and you can still only be a finance manager at a branch factory, while others can become bosses at a young age."
Do you really think doing business is about standing in an office building in Central, holding a coffee in one hand and a cigar in the other, looking down at the bustling traffic through floor-to-ceiling windows, and making a lot of noise?
That's a scam!
When starting a business, especially a startup, maintaining a professional demeanor and a professional attitude will ensure smooth production and attract orders.
Let it go bankrupt.
Xu Neng returned to his office, took out a notebook, and began to think and write.
He used to have no hope, so he just lived day by day, drifting through life until retirement.
When I met Lin Yuanshan today, he showed none of the arrogance of someone who had achieved early success. On the contrary, he was willing to put aside his pride and use his last bit of value at Yellow River Plastics to settle the debt ahead of schedule for a payment of just over two thousand yuan.
Xu Neng was motivated. He prepared to help his new employer plan the factory and see if they could further optimize production based on the existing foundation.
As the saying goes, a bad soldier is just one bad soldier, but a bad general makes a bad army.
Lin Yuanshan led the way in hard work, which inspired his team to fight.
Take Tie Tou, for example, who dragged him around all day. He didn't even have a basic salary, but he never complained.
The two rushed back to Tongzhou Street, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Bing, still wearing his long gown, was talking to Wang Cai by the roadside when he saw Tie Tou pulling the cart from afar. He quickly lifted his gown and jogged over, saying, "Good afternoon, Mr. Lin."
"Uncle Bing, there's no need to be so polite." Lin Yuanshan got off the rickshaw and nodded to Wang Cai, who was standing a dozen steps away.
Wang Cai was just advising Chen Bing to be wary of the treacherous Yuan and not to be tricked by him again.
Just then, he noticed that Lin Yuanshan had actually taken the initiative to greet him.
He nodded somewhat guiltily, smiled, and turned to walk back to Caiji Plastics.
Lin Yuanshan withdrew his gaze, beckoned Chen Bing to follow, and strode into the back alley of Tongzhou Street.
Two days ago, Lin Yuanshan stirred up that waste recycling controversy, which alarmed many important figures who came out to quell it.
Now, the phrase "stay away from treacherous people" is used to describe the fear and apprehension of everyone in the plastics industry in Tongzhou Street.
Sure enough, Lin Yuanshan brought Chen Bing over.
The people in the back alley exhibited two different attitudes.
Limpy Rong, Wai Zai, and their gang were all excitedly calling him "Boss" or "Mr. Lin."
The other people who make a living in this back alley had somewhat unnatural expressions on their faces.
Some of the more timid ones didn't even have the courage to face Lin Yuanshan directly; seeing him approaching from afar, they decisively hid back inside.
"Oh, Uncle Shui, why didn't you even say hello? It's me, A-Yuan. Here, have a cigarette."
"Hello Mr. Lin, my wife is about to give birth, and I'm rushing back to help her. I'm sorry."
……
Looking at the two men with their backs pressed against the alley wall as if they had seen a ghost, they cautiously moved past them and then quickly ran towards Uncle Shui at the alley entrance.
Lin Yuanshan shrugged at Chen Bing: "He's just a wonton noodle vendor, he can't exactly be hoarding waste materials, can he?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing awkwardly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat: "Uncle Shui hasn't made a sale in many days."
"Why?" Lin Yuanshan waved to Limpy Rong and the others, asking absentmindedly.
Watching Lin Yuanshan being escorted towards the factory by Bo Rong, Wai Zai, and others.
Chen Bing muttered under his breath, "The kitchen has been borrowed. Forget about making wontons, there's nowhere to even knead the dough."
Some were happy while others were sad. In the hearts of Bo Rong, Wai Zai, and their gang, Lin Yuanshan was definitely not some villain or a street thug.
On the contrary, upon learning that their boss could do business with Li Yicheng, the "King of Plastic Flowers," and had secured all the waste materials and substandard plastic flower recycling orders from Yellow River Plastics, they all revered Lin Yuanshan as a god.
Orders mean work starts, and work means income.
Not to mention, he paid a high salary, and the factory food was good.
Factory director Li Rong may have a bad temper, but he's genuinely good at teaching.
The other brothers in the gang were incredibly envious; they were lucky enough to have such a secure job at Yuanshan Plastics!
After handing out cigarettes, Lin Yuanshan announced that they would continue recruiting, and Wai Zai and the others cheered and returned to their posts to continue working.
Chen Bing wanted to come up, but seeing Bo Rong go to report to Lin Yuanshan, he could only stand aside and wait.
In just a few days, he, who used to be able to boast about his seniority in front of Lin Yuanshan, is now even less powerful than Bo Rong.
