Dongwan City, Nancheng District, Qingshui Street.

Dongwan City is located in the southeast of Guangdong Province, on the east bank of the Zhujiang River Estuary, and adjacent to Pengcheng in the south, which is the forefront of reform and opening up, one of the most developed cities in China's processing and manufacturing industry, known as the "world factory", and attracts countless migrant workers from all over the country every year.

Of course, this city is very famous all over China.

Qingshui Street is one of the most famous streets in Dongwan City, and for no other reason, it has the largest and largest recruitment market, human resources center, job agency, and labor dispatch company in Dongwan.

Because of this characteristic, this street has become the first stop for migrant workers. Countless young migrant workers are shunted here, boarded on various buses, and transported to various factories, becoming living mechanical parts on the production line.

At the southeast corner of Qingshui Street, opposite a large human resources center, early in the morning, a group of people wearing simple coats, dark skin, and slightly vicissitudes of life gathered in the early morning, most of whom were over 30 years old.

Some of them were nibbling on steamed buns, some were carrying a large water bottle, and some were three or two of them, smoking cheap cigarettes, and talking about something......

These are migrant workers who are waiting to pick up their jobs.

The life of migrant workers is very hard. Today's factories are very shrewd and picky, some of them are too old to support long-term mechanical work, and they are obviously experienced in society and familiar with labor law...... will be brushed directly and will not be collected.

This has also led to the problem that most migrant workers are now older. But fortunately, the real estate industry is developed, and houses are built everywhere across the country, absorbing a large number of migrant workers, so that they can earn a living on the construction site and support their families.

However, don't look at the high wages on the construction site, 150 or 180 a day, those who have the technology can even take three or four hundred a day, and when they settle the bill at the end of the year, they all hold bundles of 100 yuan bills. But in fact, this job is not stable, not everyone can mix with the long-term engineering team, once the project is over, they are likely to be ten days and a half months or even longer can not find a new job, can only rely on odd jobs to live, there are meals, no meals, life is very difficult.

At this time, a minibus stopped on the side of the road, and a fat man got down from it, he slapped the door of the car, withdrew his voice and shouted: "A project in the east is sweeping, working 8 hours a day, 150 a day, a total of seven days!" Pack three meals, and settle the payment uniformly! Twenty of them! Did you come here? ”

Although the salary is a little lower, but the working hours are also short, and the meal is included, and the treatment is already considered good in the odd jobs, and suddenly a large group of people surrounded it, and the fat man also began to register his ID card and mobile phone number one by one, and lead people to the car.

Lao Hu was naturally no exception, took out his ID card and squeezed into the crowd.

But before he could squeeze into the crowd, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Who is calling me at this time?

Although a little reluctant, Lao Hu still withdrew from the crowd and took out his mobile phone.

The name on the phone screen is very clear: "Ge Datou".

After thinking about it, Lao Hu still connected the mobile phone: "What's the matter, Boss Ge?" Am I busy? ”

Boss Ge on the other side of the phone said directly: "Lao Hu, come back to work tomorrow!" Eight o'clock in the morning! ”

"Going to work?" Lao Hu laughed angrily: "Ge Datou, it's polite for me to call you the boss, are you really your own big boss?" You owe labor and management more than half a year's wages and still want me to go back to work? I'm on your ......"

Before the old man could scold, Boss Ge spoke: "This time it's really a big deal!" The factory is going to be sold! When the factory is sold, can I still lose your salary? ”

"Is there anyone else who wants your broken factory?" Although he was polite, Lao Hu's tone had softened.

"Why not? People are going to come to inspect it soon, and then they will negotiate the price! Boss Ge's tone was excited: "Don't forget, I'll come before 8 o'clock tomorrow, I'll call everyone else, let's clean the site first, the machine and everything, and start everything that can be started, you can also operate your injection molding machine, and wait for them to arrive the day after tomorrow ......."

"It turns out that people will only arrive the day after tomorrow......" Old Hu scoffed.

"People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, and the factory wants to sell for a price, so why don't you clean it up and make it look decent?" Boss Ge explained: "It's all ash like now, how can you sell it for money?" ”

"Okay." Lao Hu had to admit that what Boss Ge said made sense: "But one yard is one yard, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will support you in the scene, and the money will have to be counted separately!" ”

"Of course, I'll give it on the spot!" Boss Ge promised: "100 a day, it is to clean and clean, and when people come, it is very easy to start the machine and pretend to be it." ”

"Don't think about selling the factory and running away after taking the money." In the end, Lao Hu threatened a little: "We all know where your home is!" ”

"No, no, when the factory is sold, I can't afford to pay your little money?" Boss Ge assured repeatedly.

……

Lao Hu was originally an old employee of the Red Star Helmet Factory, starting at the age of 20 and working in the factory for more than ten years, but although the Red Star Helmet Factory is the oldest helmet factory in Dongwan, due to the old equipment, the helmet design is not novel enough, the location is remote and other problems, the sales have been sluggish, and it can only be regarded as a remnant.

After the arrival of the Internet tide, which had a strong impact on the real industry, the Red Star Helmet Factory could not survive, so it had to stop production and dismiss a large number of employees.

Lao Hu has feelings for the Red Star Helmet Factory, plus the arrears of more than half a year's wages, the next day he returned to the factory with more than 200 other old employees, and under the command of the boss Ge Datou, he began a factory-wide cleaning and cleaning.

Refueling the machine, debugging the debugging, repairing the broken machine, replacing the old and dilapidated brand...... It was busy until the middle of the night that the factory returned to its former appearance.

……

"They'll be there in half an hour! Everyone moved. Boss Ge, whose head was obviously bigger than others, gave orders loudly.

The rest of the staff got busy, the machines started running, the assembly lines began to flow, and some of the unsalable goods that had been moved out of the warehouse were replaced with new boxes and placed in obvious places......

Soon, a Hongqi H7 sedan drove into the Red Star Helmet Factory, and three people got down on it, all three of them were wearing suits, and they all looked very Sven.

The leader was an ordinary-looking young man of twenty-eight or nineteen, with a briefcase on the left and a secretary, and a gold-rimmed glasses on the right, who looked very shrewd.

Boss Ge immediately took several leaders of the original factory to greet him, with a look of haha: "Welcome Mr. Li to visit our Red Star Factory!" ”

Then, while leading the way, he chattered and introduced: "Our Red Star Helmet Factory is the oldest helmet factory in Dongwan, it was originally a collective enterprise, and later restructured, contracted by my father, after decades of operation, it has developed to the current scale, and has an excellent reputation in the local area, and the people trust our Red Star brand......

"But, I heard that your factory has been out of production for a long time?" The man in his thirties with gold-rimmed glasses spoke.

"No, our helmet factory is also divided into off-season and peak season, and in the off-season, it is normal to stop one or two production lines." Boss Ge hurriedly explained: "Most of the time, our factory is still producing at full capacity. ”

"Your factory looks pretty big." The leading Mr. Li spoke: "How is the usual output?" ”

Boss Ge smiled and explained in detail: "Oh, Mr. Li, it's like this, our Red Star Helmet Factory covers an area of 26,000 square meters, with three production workshops, a storage warehouse, and an independent canteen and office building...... Among the three workshops, the equipment of the No. 1 workshop is a little older, and now it mainly produces engineering helmets for labor protection, as well as police helmets for explosion-proof, and has also received orders from the municipal bureau before......"

"No. 2 and No. 3 workshops are equipped with advanced equipment, mainly producing all kinds of motorcycle helmets, battery car helmets, and there are 28 styles currently produced, and some bicycle riding helmets can also be done...... If all production lines start at the same time, two shifts and overtime, the annual output can reach more than 3.5 million! ”

……

Everyone introduced them all the way, and soon the whole factory was taken around.

Then sat down in the small two-story office building, and Mr. Li asked, "I think your business is quite good, why do you want to sell the factory?" ”

"Hey, I'm old, I don't have the energy, I can't take care of it, my children are abroad, I want to sell the factory and join them." Boss Ge sighed.

"Then there is no room for this price to go down?" Minister Qi with gold-rimmed glasses asked.

"78 million, to be honest, is already the cost price, which is equivalent to the money for selling land and factories." Boss Ge began to sell miserably: "Those equipment are all given away for nothing!" ”

"It's not interesting for Boss Ge to say this, everyone has seen the factory just now." Secretary Zhang also spoke: "Those machines are obviously very old, and a lot of paint is almost worn out, so how much is it worth?" ”

"I can't say that, such a big factory, so many employees, it costs a lot of money for me to place them." Boss Ge began to look for a reason.

"In fact, we have already seen several factories, and your side is the most remote place, and they are all about to go out of the suburbs." Minister Qi bargained: "This land is also industrial land, and the price is very transparent, so how about a fixed price of 60 million?" ”

"This ...... You can't just look at the region, after all, we are a factory, not a shopping mall, and the transportation is convenient. Boss Ge did not let go: "More than 20 meters from the entrance of our factory is the national highway, and the road is also widened, and the truck can drive directly into the factory, which is not too convenient to transport." ”

……

After an afternoon of fierce exchanges, in the end, the Red Star Helmet Factory was sold to Tianang Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd. for 67 million.

"Oh, yes." When we reached a preliminary purchase intention and everyone shook hands, Mr. Li spoke again: "I like the name of your factory very much, why don't you add it?" ”

got rid of the hot potato, and Boss Ge, who was full of joy, had no choice but to agree.
