The eighth day of the first month.

The working days of the Hangsan cotton factory.

White smoke rose from the towering chimneys, the machines in the workshop began to turn, and the Hangsan cotton factory returned to its former vitality.

In the factory office building.

There are people shuttling in the corridors on each floor, and everyone in each department is very busy.

It is said that this morning, Xiang Zhonghai, secretary of the party committee of the factory, convened the members of the party committee and held the first team meeting after the holiday. Until 12 noon, the door of the conference room was still closed, and there was no intention of adjourning the meeting at all.

When it was time to eat, Qin Weiming came out of the conference room and asked Zhang Danian to arrange for a few people to go to the canteen to get some food and send it directly to the conference room. Hearing this, several leaders even have to eat lunch in the conference room, and this meeting is estimated to be held in the afternoon.

Zhang Danian called Zhan Pengfei, as well as two new colleagues from the third department, and went to the canteen to cook for the leaders.

On the way to the cafeteria, Zhang Danian saw that among the few people walking in front of him, there was a back figure that looked like Lu Yuan, so he shouted.

Sure enough, it was Lu Yuan. Zhang Danian also knew several other people, all of whom were from the marketing department, including Hong Gang from the marketing department, Hu Yinghong from the after-sales service department, and Lin Li.

They all went to the cafeteria to eat, said hello, and the big guys left together.

Although Zhan Pengfei and Lu Yuan are no longer in the same department, he is notoriously cautious, he didn't even say hello, and pulled Lin Li to the cafeteria one step ahead of everyone.

Seeing this, Zhang Danian smiled awkwardly and said to Lu Yuan: "This is a villain, brother, you take care of him." ”

Lu Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Not really." ”

Zhan Pengfei had no one in his eyes, which also made Hong Gang feel embarrassed by him, and said angrily: "What are you proud of? If you don't have Lin Li's girlfriend, can you become this deputy section chief by him? I don't know what Lin Li likes about him. ”

Hu Yinghong smiled bitterly: "Fate, what else can you say?" ”

Hong Gang pursed his lips disdainfully, "I think it's a bad fate!" ”

"Okay, okay, okay, you guys don't talk about the two of you."

Zhang Danian glanced at a few new colleagues next to him, and quickly stopped the topic, lest the new young man chew on the root of Pengfei's tongue behind his back and affect the internal unity of the Reform Office.

Immediately, he explained to a few new colleagues: "You go to the canteen to find the deputy section chief of the exhibition first, and after packing the leaders' meals, send them back to the conference room first, don't let Secretary Xiang and them go hungry!" ”

After waiting for the two young people to trot to the cafeteria, Lu Yuan asked curiously: "What's the situation, the leaders of the factory are still in a meeting?" It's going to start in the morning, why isn't it over yet? ”

Zhang Danian nodded and said, "Today's meeting is very important, and it is estimated that it will last all day." I glanced at it, and the members of the leadership team came, and a deputy director of the Provincial Department of Light and Textile also came to attend the meeting. ”

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered the phone call with Zhang Danian last night, and guessed: "Is it related to the matter I inquired about on the phone last night?" ”

Zhang Da Young snorted and nodded, affirming Lu Yuan's guess.

"What's so important? It's going to be such a big battle. ”

Hu Yinghong and Hong Gang on the side also inquired with great interest.

Zhang Danian was hesitating whether to say it, but he heard Lu Yuan chuckle and said, "Don't worry about it, our department has gossiped about this matter in the morning." ”

As he spoke, he hinted to Hong Gang and Hu Yinghong: "It's the matter we cared about in Director Zheng's office this morning. ”

Hong Gang and Hu Yinghong sighed, with expressions of understanding.

Seeing this, Zhang Danian asked curiously: "Even your department knows?" ”

Lu Yuan said: "Is there any impermeable wall in this world? But fortunately, I didn't hear anyone below us talk about this, and it was only between the chiefs and deputy chiefs of a few of our departments. Section Chief Hong and Sister Hu knew about this, but they still heard what Lin Li said, and then we went to Director Zheng's office, and he only heard about it, and he didn't know it very clearly. ”

Zhang Danian was immediately relieved, Lin Li should have listened to her uncle Guan Liangyi.

Hong Gang said: "I think this is just a matter of chasing the wind and shadows, our three cotton factories have been a state-owned factory for decades, and they have dealt with banks a lot, and our wages, benefits, and year-end bonuses are not uniformly issued to us by the credit union?" How could the bank not give us a re-loan for the three cotton mills? Speaking of which, our Hangsan cotton factory can also be regarded as their high-quality customers, right? ”

"Yes, how can you not give our factory a reloan? This is related to the livelihood of thousands of workers in the three cotton factories. If they say that the loan will be broken, they also have to consider the impact! Hu Yinghong also agreed with Hong Gang's statement.

"Hey, you're thinking too much." Zhang Danian shook his head, looked at Lu Yuan, and said, "What you said on the phone last night was not wrong at all. In the morning, Director Qin also attended, and when he came out to smoke halfway, I inquired with him, and he said that it had been determined at the meeting that the bank's refusal to re-lend was basically a certainty! ”

"Huh? True... It's true? ”

Hong Gang and Hu Yinghong's faces froze, and they suddenly collapsed.

Although Lu Yuan had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this exact news.

It's so hard!

Once there is no re-loan from the bank, there will be no liquidity on the accounts of the three cotton mills. The wages and various benefits of more than 3,000 workers may not be a problem if they survive for a month or two. But he believes that the three cotton factories will definitely not be able to hold out for three months!

If you can't hold it...... The consequences are unimaginable.

This is not as simple as a small number of people being laid off before, making trouble in the factory, and going to the city to petition.

The livelihood and future of more than 3,000 people are at stake!

"But it's not as pessimistic as you think," Zhang Danian looked at Hong Gang and their faces were like mourning, and said with relief, "Secretary Xiang, they are already studying countermeasures, didn't I say it just now?" They are estimated to have a full-day meeting today, didn't the province send a deputy director over to give advice to Secretary Xiang? ”

"There is a reserve gap of nearly 200 million, this is not something that can be solved by holding a meeting to study it!" Hong Gang is pessimistic, and even has begun to wonder in his heart what he should do next if the Hangsan cotton factory goes bankrupt and closes down.

Zhang Danian said: "This is not a category that we can discuss. However, I believe that the leaders will definitely find a solution, after all, we have such a big factory in Hangsanmian, just like Sister Hu said, the livelihood and future of thousands of people, how can it be said that it will go bankrupt and go bankrupt? In particular, Hangsan Cotton Factory is currently in the stage of restructuring. If the Hangsan cotton factory closes down and goes bankrupt at this time, doesn't this tell the world that the restructuring of state-owned enterprises will not work at all? ”

Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and said: "Since the bank can't re-lend this road, the factory can only seek help from external funds!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Danian lightly punched Lu Yuan in the shoulder, and praised with a smile: "You kid, you guess the root." I heard Director Qin say that the deputy director from the province brought the suggestion that we hope that our factory can seek help from external funds, and also recommend the financing plans of several large groups! Yes, one of the financing options is provided by Huasheng Group. Huasheng Group, you should have an impression, right? I remember, didn't you do a labor export project before, and exported many laid-off workers from our factory to work in their Xiaoshan branch?"

"Huasheng Group?"

Lu Yuan was slightly shocked, and suddenly remembered what Lu Peishan had reminded him before, and he suggested that he also understand the business knowledge of clothing, is this also related?

"It's that Huasheng Group!"

Zhang Danian said: "Their chairman also participated in the New Year's Day art show of our factory. I used to think that someone happened to be passing by, and then the city leaders brought him over to join in the fun, which was purely a coincidence. Now that I think about it, it seems that everything is related and traceable! ”

"Huasheng Group is the largest private group in the Yangtze River Delta! Our factory is in this financial dilemma, and they have the strength to solve it! And they make clothing, and they still have a lot in common with our cotton mill. After listening to Zhang Danian, Hong Gang couldn't help but be much more optimistic.

Hu Yinghong disagreed this time, and said: "I don't think it's that simple, Huasheng Group does have this strength, and there are many things in common in business." But Chief Hong, don't forget, no matter how powerful Huasheng Group is, it is also a private group, and no matter how difficult our Hangsan Cotton Factory is, it is also an old state-owned factory. Once our three cotton factories accept the financing of Huasheng Group, will our three cotton factories be surnamed society or capital in the future? ”

"This ......"

Hong Gang was stunned, Hu Yinghong really got to the point.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Danian and said, "Yes, Director Zhang, once the surname is Zi, then we are not an iron rice bowl." ”

Lu Yuan laughed on the side and said happily: "It seems that we don't accept external funds, and we can continue to hold the iron rice bowl of the Three Cotton Factory." ”

"Stop, stop, let's talk so hot on the road, it makes us look like we are factory leaders."

Zhang Danian stopped the topic in time, looked at his watch, and reminded: "It's 12:30, hurry up, it's too late, there is really no food in the canteen!" ”

"That can't be!"

Hong Gang patted Lu Yuan's shoulder and said, "Don't forget, the little boss of the canteen is here." As a friend of the young owner, can you still have a hot meal? ”

"Young Owner...... Brother Hong, you can really be funny. ”

Lu Yuan was happy and said: "In the canteen of our family's happiness, the business hours for lunch are half past two. It is a little later than the rest time before our factory canteen is a little delayed by an hour and a half. That's reassuring. ”

Zhang Danian quipped: "So I envy Lu Yuan, you see, I can't do anything in the factory, and I can go home to inherit... Uh, continue the cafeteria! ”

"If I really have to leave the three cotton mills one day, I still want to go outside." Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up and eat, I still have to keep an eye on Zhan Pengfei and a few of them to eat, don't finish eating here, the leaders in the conference room are still hungry."

At the urging of Zhang Danian, several people quickened their pace.

……

It was afternoon.

As soon as it was time to get off work, Lu Yuan packed up his things and prepared to go home from work.

At this time, the phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Lu Peishan.

Except for a text message on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they really haven't been in touch.

Especially after listening to Pan Dahai talk about Lu Peishan and Kang Cheng, he also planned to find a time to meet Lu Peishan after the holiday.

Unexpectedly, she called first.

"Hey. Sister Shan. I haven't been in touch for a while. ”

"You kid really haven't been in touch for a few days?" On the other end of the phone, Lu Peishan joked.

Lu Yuan explained: "Today, our factory has only resumed work, and a bunch of things from years ago are all waiting to be dealt with. ”

"I don't need to make another appointment, do you have time tonight? Sister, please have a drink? ”

"Tonight?"

Lu Yuan was slightly stunned, and then responded: "Okay, you send me the location by text message, I'll go home and take two bites, wash my face and go out." ”

"Okay, I'll send you the address in a moment."

"Okay, see you later!"
