Chapter 149: Opening
Friday, January 19, 1973.
The entrance of an industrial factory outside Lam Tin Estate.
In the noisy sound of gongs and drums, two lion dancers flew up and down, scrambling to climb up a bamboo pole, and a red silk ball hung on the top of the three-meter-high bamboo pole.
As the music grows louder, a lion steps on the head of the other, leaps and takes a silk ball with his mouth, falls to the ground and roars to the sky, then shakes his head and tails and walks to the crowd and opens his mouth.
Amid the cheers of others, Xia Di, who was wearing a brand-new white cashmere coat, reached out and took out the silk ball from the lion's mouth, and raised it high with a red face.
"Smack, smack......"
Firecrackers rang out.
A group of people, led by Xia Di, walked along the passage separated by two rows of flower baskets towards the factory.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and a wooden sign hanging on the wall of the courtyard at the entrance was revealed, with black characters on a white background, and the pen was vigorous: Lantian Industry and Trade Co., Ltd.
"Xiao Zhang Sheng, judging from the name of the company, you will not only be a laundry in the future. He Hongluan walked in the crowd with a smile, and Zhang Heng accompanied him.
This is Mr. Lu's suggestion, speaking of the name should be magnificent, and it is true that other businesses can be added in the future, so this name was taken. Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Mr. He rewarded his face and words, and we are grateful." ”
"This company will become the pride of Lam Tin Estate in the future, and I am still stained with your light. He Hongluan looked at him deeply, and suddenly felt some regret in his heart.
My little niece still has no vision.
"Distinguished guests, this is the washing machine introduced by the company from Germany, both the washing efficiency and the benefit, far exceed the previous steam washing equipment. Walking into the factory, Xia Di pointed to a silver-white steel dragon and said loudly.
More than 30 neatly dressed female workers stood in all parts of the washing machine, looking at the guests with smiles on their faces.
"Boss Xia, since the washer is more efficient, why do you still hire so many female workers?" The reporter from the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" asked, it was the one who interviewed Zhang Heng last time.
"They are my co-workers in the laundry where I used to work, and each of them has the responsibility of the family, and since we have reopened the factory, I am happy to give them a job, and more people can accept it for the time being. ”
Xia Di spoke a little shyly, and when he saw the encouraging gaze of Zhang Heng in the crowd, infinite courage was born in his chest.
"And Xiao Heng said that the company will carry out other projects in the future, and we women will definitely be able to find a place to use!"
"Okay!" Ho Hongluan took the lead, the guests applauded, and the reporter seized the opportunity to take pictures of the washerboard and the female workers.
"Our company's washing machine is the first in Asia, processing up to 1,500 kilograms ......of linen per hour," Xia Di said eloquently, his mood gradually calmed down, and his speech and demeanor had a meaning.
Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction, greeted He Hongluan, and walked to Sergeant Ren not far away.
There aren't many guests here today.
Zhang Heng specially invited He Hongluan, Sergeant Ren of Kwun Tong Police Station, Lao Liu of Lam Tin House, Xia Di invited several old customers of the former laundry, and there were also three major customers of Daheng Printing Paper who came to cheer for the scene, Lei Qia, Boss Wan and the owner of the stationery company in Kwun Tong.
Daheng Company was present today with Xia Di, Zhang Heng, Lu Yuanteng and He Jie, who each greeted customers and tried not to let people be left alone for too long.
After greeting Officer Ma first, Zhang Heng asked with a smile, "Sergeant Ren, how is your leg?"
"I'm a man with rough skin and thick flesh, and I'm fine with any injuries. Sergeant Ren said with a grin, "Thank you for sending foreign nutritional supplements, I will share them with my brothers, and take them home to honor my parents, no problem, right?"
"I've sent you, so it's up to you. Zhang Heng smiled, "By the way, the last time the case was concluded, you are about to be promoted, right?"
Sergeant Ren frowned, and he no longer had that calmness.
"Xiao Zhang Sheng, that, there may still be some trouble. Seeing that the boss was silent, Officer Ma sneered.
Zhang Heng frowned and said, "Maybe I can come up with an idea, can you talk to me?"
"That's great!" Officer Ma was delighted, "our boss ......"
"Pony!" Sergeant Ren stopped him and waved his hand at Zhang Heng, "I will settle my affairs, you are happy to open today, you should go and greet other important guests." ”
"If there's anyone I can help with, just ask, and don't forget that I owe you a big meal. Zhang Hengrao glanced at Sergeant Ren meaningfully, nodded and turned to walk away.
"Boss, why don't you let him help?" Officer Ma complained, "at least he has money and a close relationship with Mr. He......"
"Eat on my own, why should I go to the path. Sergeant Ren glared at him, and twisted to the side of the bosses who relied on the washer.
A boss banged on the metal shell and said with envy on his face: "This dragon is majestic, what is swallowed is linen, and what is spit out is money." ”
Another boss shook his head: "If you want to spit out money, you have to swallow money first, but I have inquired, this dragon costs 1 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Another boss laughed and said, "Boss Xia said that the laundry fee will be reduced, so what are we worried about?"
"That's right, if the effect is good, we can introduce her to a few more businesses, and it's not easy for people, besides, have you seen it, the third child of the He family has come to cheer. Several bosses nodded their heads.
"1 million!" Not far away, Officer Ma widened his eyes, and held Sergeant Ren's hand and subconsciously clenched, "Boss, such a machine is worth more than a dozen houses?"
"Don't make a fuss, shame on you!" Sergeant Ren pushed him away and walked outside.
"Boss, I think you should still talk to Xiao Zhang Sheng, it's not a problem for them if you're upset!"
Zhang Heng naturally didn't know what was happening here, they tried their best to greet every guest, and after visiting the washing dragon, they took them up to the second floor to drink tea and chat.
Lantian Industry and Trade opened today, the laundry factory officially operated but after the year, but today there is still an unexpected joy, several old customers of the original Lin boss have promised to send a batch of linen to be washed before the year, and will formally sign a long-term contract with the company after seeing the effect.
"Boss Xia, you can go here tomorrow to talk to their manager, I'll say hello, it shouldn't be a big problem." He Hongluan also gave a big surprise, and gave Xia Di a business card of the hotel director before parting.
"Xiao Heng, I really want to start the machine immediately!" Seeing He Hongluan away, Xia Di's big eyes were full of joy.
Zhang Heng stretched out his hand and wanted to rub her head, but he quietly put it down, she was no longer that little girl today.
"You can decide whether to start work here or not, and you can find Sister He or Mr. Lu if you have other questions. ”
"I understand, you're busy. Xia Di lowered his head, and his mood was suddenly a little lost.
Zhang Heng panicked, and hurriedly explained: "You can also look for me, I'm not busy! It's just that they may be more useful than me." ”
"Xiao Heng, I feel that I am very useless, I can't help you with anything, and now I have to trouble you when I open this factory. Xia Di raised his head and stared at Zhang Heng with big watery eyes.
"What do the family say?" Zhang Heng deliberately raised his face, "You can't slack off, I'm still waiting for you to make money for me to use!"
"Don't worry!" she suddenly grabbed his arm and smiled, "Sister Yumei and Sister Yunxia are still running business outside today, I will personally go to the hotel introduced by Mr. He tomorrow, I will definitely take it down, and when the number of orders we get is almost enough, we will start work immediately!"
