Chapter 125: The Story of Xinzheng
Before Li Yue'e got on the plane, she was still asking her son Zheng Pengxiao why he didn't go with him, and Zheng Changping only said that he had already taken the first step and went to the UK to contact old friends and find a place to live in advance.
This set of rhetoric can't stand scrutiny, but Li Yue'e is just a woman who is used to being Mrs. Kuo after all, even if she detects the clues, it is impossible to struggle in vain before the plane takes off, so she can only turn around and walk into the boarding channel of Kai Tak Airport with the support of Zheng Changping and his wife.
Outside the airport, Su Jingxian sat in the car, watching the plane sweep over the walled city and disappear into the sky, and finally let out a long breath.
From today onwards, there is no longer a Cheng family in Hong Kong, and there is no longer a Cheng Kee, and the new company name registered from the Industry and Commerce Department - New Cheng Kee Weaving and Garment Company - will open up a new world in Hong Kong's weaving and garment industry.
The Zheng character of the new Zheng Ji is the Zheng of her mother Zheng Liru.
Su Shoucai and Zheng Liru, who saw off Li Yue'e and his party from the airport passage, sighed and sat in the car, both slightly distracted.
"Boss, they have such a big family business in Hong Kong, and that's it?" After a long time, Su Shoucai spoke softly, with a tone of disbelief.
He has been poor for half his life, and the thoughts of the small people in the market are deep-rooted, in contrast, the Zheng family has always been an insurmountable mountain in his mind, and in just over a month, witnessing the collapse of this mountain, Su Shoucai only felt that all this was like a dream.
Zheng Liru held her husband's hand, feeling concerned, but she only sighed, not knowing what to say.
With a full view of the parents in the back row in the rearview mirror, Su Jingxian shook his head, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out of Kai Tak Road, contrary to the flight to the United Kingdom.
From beginning to end, he didn't tell his parents the truth of the matter, everything has come to an end, rather than tearing the truth apart in blood, it is better to stop here, let his parents believe what they saw, and leave some thoughts.
——————————
On the third day after the Zheng family's seedlings left Hong Kong, Su Jingxian brought together the new and old employees of the new Zheng Kee Weaving and Garment Company for the first collective meeting after the company's reopening.
Before the war, there were only a few dozen local weaving and garment factories in Hong Kong, but as of the beginning of this year, there were more than 550 weaving and garment factories in Hong Kong, employing nearly 30,000 workers in the industry, accounting for as much as 30 percent of the entire manufacturing industry.
Weaving and garment manufacturing is not a huge profit, but from the perspective of industry share, it is the leading manufacturing industry in Hong Kong.
Holding the statistical report in his hand, Su Jingxian rubbed his eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh that Zheng Yunhong had some ability, and it was not easy to make Zheng Ji rank among the best in the industry in such a competitive environment.
"Now Sun Cheng Kee has eight factories in Hong Kong, located in Yuen Long, Sham Shui Po, Prince Edward Road, North Point and Kwun Tong, with six spinning and weaving factories and two garment factories. Su Jingxian rolled the report into a paper tube, tapped it on the table, and looked around at the employees.
After this question was asked, the heads of the eight factories in the office looked at each other, and none of them took the lead to speak.
Su Jingxian looked at the embarrassed look on everyone's faces, and sighed in his heart, although Zheng Ji has achieved such a big thing now, he lacks a set of formal management methods, and the shortcomings have been revealed.
There are eight factories, scattered in different areas, which is related to the fact that Zheng Yunhong's family started from scratch when they arrived in Hong Kong.
At the beginning of Cheng Kee's business, he set up factories in Yuen Long, Kwun Tong and other areas where the ground rent was cheapest. However, in this way, because it is inseparable from the supply of the old plant for a while, it can only keep the old plant, and it has fallen into an increasingly scattered situation, which is difficult to centralize management.
Zheng Yunhong may have realized this over the years, but before he could improve, he was rushed by Su Jingxian to sell salted duck eggs.
So now, this mess is in the hands of Su Jingxian.
Without getting a response from several factory leaders, Su Jingxian shook his head, and then asked a second question: "Okay, this question will be put aside first." I would like to ask the person in charge of the six yarn mills, do our yarn mills only provide raw materials for Xin Zheng Kee, or do they do it together with export sales? ”
This question is obviously much simpler than the previous question, as soon as Su Jingxian's words fell, the heads of the six yarn factories exchanged glances, and then a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties stood up.
Su Jingxian recognized that this man was the person in charge of the Prince Road Spinning and Weaving Factory, a native of Huangpu, named Sun Huning.
"Boss, the current six yarn factories have a large output every month, except for Zheng ...... In addition to providing cloth and cotton yarn, Tan Zheng Kee mainly exports and retails. Sun Huning, as a representative of the six spinning and weaving factories, replied.
"yes, I see." Su Jingxian nodded, and motioned for Sun Huning to sit back in his place, "I am very easy-going, so I don't have to be so restrained in future meetings." ”
When the person in charge of the eight factories heard this, their expressions were a little relaxed, but then Su Jingxian's next sentence made them lift their hearts again.
"Let me first talk about my future plans, from today onwards, Xin Zheng Kee will focus on garment making, and no longer do spinning export retail business." Su Jingxian looked around, ignored the sudden changes in the faces of several people in charge of the yarn factory, and continued to speak after a pause, "So the company will lay off employees next, I hope you will be mentally prepared in advance." ”
Now that Xin Zheng Kee is his own business, Su Jingxian has to divide part of his energy into the company's operation and management, and reform is the primary problem that Xin Zheng Kee has to face.
Nowadays, most companies in Hong Kong are in the process of transformation, abandoning the old management methods, and the management is gradually younger and more educated.
Su Jingxian has seen the resumes of the eight factory leaders in the conference room now, except for Sun Huning, the factory manager of Prince Edward Road, who graduated from Diocesan Boys' School, the rest are halfway monks. In particular, the factory leaders in Yuen Long and Kwun Tong districts don't even know a few big characters, and it is only because they followed Zheng Yunhong to fight the world at the beginning that they have been retained to this day.
Although they have been in the company for one or two decades and have rich experience, in fact, such people have grabbed a lot of people outside, and there is no shining point except for the experience accumulated over the years.
Moreover, their experience has been slowly out of touch with the times, and if Xin Zheng Ji wants to go further, he must inject new blood and carry out drastic reforms.
"After the meeting is dismissed, please also trouble everyone to tell the following employees the news of the layoffs, and the old employees who are dismissed will be paid one month's salary as a subsidy." Su Jingxian knocked on the table and drew everyone's attention back to himself, "Of course, you are all the meritorious veterans of the old Zheng Ji, if someone is unfortunately dismissed, in addition to a month's salary subsidy, I will personally compensate him another thousand Hong Kong dollars." ”
