Chapter 20: The Quarry Crisis
Qinghe Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fumanlou Hotel, a box on the second floor.
Six or seven middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes and big bellies gathered together, toasting and changing lamps, the atmosphere was warm, and the laughter was endless.
Li Yong's face was red and his ears were red, and he sat next to his current boss, Liu Changqing.
Liu Changqing has a fat head and big ears, always has a happy smile on his face, and looks amiable.
In fact, everyone here who knows him knows that this thing is an out-and-out smiling tiger.
No, Zhang Jianguo, who originally belonged to one of them, didn't he become the object of his secret plots.
"Come, come, come! Let's go one more, guys. Liu Changqing filled the wine glass, got up with a red face, and clinked glasses to the other bosses one by one, "To celebrate the success of this time to get rid of the quarry surnamed Zhang, you must do it in one gulp!" ”
"That's right! This time, thanks to our Mr. Liu's ingenuity. Li Yong slapped the new boss on the back, and said with a flattering face: "The bosses don't know, when I took those workers to Zhang's house to make trouble, the face surnamed Zhang was angry, haha!" ”
Next to Li Yong's boss Lin Bin specially asked Li Yong to toast and praised: "Xiao Li has made a lot of contributions this time, follow Lao Liu to work hard to ensure your future." ”
"Ouch, then borrow Mr. Lin's auspicious words, I respect you!" Li Yong was flattered and replied: "At the same time, I wish our President Liu and all the CEOs a prosperous career and a rolling source of wealth." ”
"Well said! Cheers! ”
After a round of drinking, everyone's mood was high, and they expressed their opinions on the fact that Zhang Jianguo's quarry was dug up at the foot of the wall.
"Lao Liu, how do you plan to settle the batch of workers that Xiao Li took away? If we can't let Zhang Jianguo hire him back, then we will be busy in vain. ”
"Don't worry, Xiao Li will take them to work in my factory for a while, and when the factory surnamed Zhang closes down, I will find an excuse to fire them all, anyway, I have enough people over there and don't need them."
"Well, this matter must be done safely, and Lao Zhang must not be allowed to have a chance to breathe, otherwise with Mr. Chen's attention to him, our business is likely to be crushed by him."
"Humph! His surname Zhang doesn't have that much energy, but he wants to monopolize the quarry business alone, which is simply beyond his means. Since he doesn't leave us a way to live, don't blame us for not giving him face. ”
"If you want to say, it's still Lao Liu's cleverness to play with a salary at the bottom of the kettle, and directly let the surname Zhang have no one available, and the younger brother admires it!"
"Haha, Mr. Lin is overrated. I want to see how many days his surname Zhang can last without the workers who work for him? ”
"I heard that Mr. Chen just placed a large order for him yesterday, but fortunately you made a timely move, and now this deal should be yellow."
"Of course. Speaking of Mr. Chen, I wonder how the accident we planned was foolproof, and it seemed that we could buy his processing plant at a low price, how could we kill him halfway and actually cure him? ”
"This thing is very weird to say, according to my hospital friend, it was the youngest son of the old Zhang family, who invited a miracle doctor out of nowhere, and used a piece of dog skin plaster and a few gold needles to revive the dying Chen Guofeng. The hospital has decided to hire that person to be their orthopedic specialist. ”
"Damn, it's the old Zhang family again! Why is this surnamed Zhang haunted, and he is against us everywhere. ”
"Don't worry, he won't be able to stumble for a few days. What if he hired a miracle doctor? A doctor can't replace a worker in quarrying for him, can he? As soon as Lao Chen's order delivery date arrived, his surname Zhang couldn't get the stone, how could he explain to Lao Chen? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Chen's orders this time are indeed quite a lot, and the profits are considerable. I speculate that the delivery should be made in the next few days, the surname Zhang will definitely not be able to take out something, everyone go back to prepare, each family will make up a batch of orders, as long as his surname Zhang can not be delivered on time, we will contact Mr. Chen immediately. I don't believe that he will put a ready-made business and not do it, so he has to find someone surnamed Zhang! ”
"Yes, what Xiao Li said is right, you make a list and give it to the bosses, everyone has money to earn together!"
"Come on, come on, keep drinking!"
This group of bosses includes contractors from almost all the quarries in Qinghe Town.
They decided that Zhang Jianguo had lost his workers, could not deliver goods on time, and that the quarry was about to close down.
And Zhang Jianguo, the object of discussion among these people, was rushing to his own quarry with his wife Chen Shulan at this time.
Zhang Xiaohan rode an electric bicycle borrowed from his next-door neighbor to lead the way.
Zhang Jianguo and his wife followed behind on the family's smoky broken electric donkey.
The old couple talked all the way, despairing of the plight encountered by the quarry.
As they feared, Qinghe had only a limited number of workers familiar with the quarry's workflow, and the vast majority were hired by other quarries.
Even the batch of workers who were taken away by Li Yong yesterday, some of them were officially hired after half a year of training and study.
Right now, they can't find the right workers to do the job.
The delivery date agreed with Chen Guofeng is approaching, and there will be no enough stone to deliver by then, what should I do?
Zhang Jianguo and Chen Shulan were so worried that they even began to consider whether to transfer the quarry as soon as possible and find another business to do.
Chen Shulan was especially incomprehensible to her son's actions.
If he hadn't recklessly squeezed Li Yong away, those workers might have stayed.
Even a slight increase in wages is not unacceptable.
Five hundred yuan per person per month is naturally not enough, but it is still feasible to add two hundred and five yuan for it.
Although it will minimize the profits made by the family, it is better than having no business to do and causing the factory to close.
"Alas!" Chen Shulan sat in the back seat of the electric donkey, sighed heavily, and her disappointment was overflowing, "Lao Zhang, why didn't you persuade Xiaohan yesterday?" ”
Zhang Jianguo explained: "I think what my son said makes sense, once we compromise and raise the wages of the workers, so that they can taste the sweetness, what if we continue to make trouble after a while?" This opening can't be opened, the wages and benefits we pay now are much higher than those of other quarries, and these people are not greedy enough. ”
"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it so far, let's see what the hell my son is up to."
The family of three soon arrived at the foot of the quarry mountain.
Zhang Xiaohan parked the electric car, told his parents to pay attention to their feet, and accompanied them along the mountain road to the quarry.
Walking to the periphery, Qiao Feng, who was sitting on the stone pier and inspecting the surrounding movements, stood up and said hello.
"Boss, you're here."
"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaohan said to him with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work." Has anyone been here? ”
Qiao Feng shook his head.
Zhang Jianguo and his wife in the back looked dazed, what are these people doing in the quarry?
"Let's go." Zhang Xiaohan took his parents' hands, "Mom and Dad, come and admire your son's masterpiece." ”
The four of them walked into the quarry gate with their front and back feet.
Zhang Jianguo and his wife looked around, and their faces were stunned.
What catches your eye is stacked with stones two or three meters high, all of which are cut and finished.
Rectangles, squares, triangles, ovals, all types of stones.
"How so? Where did you get these stones? ”
Zhang Jianguo trembled with excitement and muttered to himself.
He stepped forward slowly, circled around the stacked stones, and stretched out his hand to caress the surface of the stones.
Then he gasped in disbelief.
Smooth, flat, angular and flawless.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best batch of finished stones that Zhang Jianguo has seen in the quarrying industry for so many years.
It's almost flawless.
What the hell is going on?
