"Oh my god, I don't want to go to this crappy class anymore."
"What's wrong? Why are you making so much noise all day long? What do you eat if you're not working?"
Even when night falls, the Chaoxu Electronics Factory in Dongguan is still brightly lit, and the noisy sounds of machines and human voices can be heard everywhere.
Since teaming up with Qingyun Electronics, Zhaoxu Electronics has never stopped receiving orders. In the beginning, it only produced parts and components sent by some home appliance companies.
Later, the former boss seized the opportunity, introduced advanced foreign equipment to upgrade technology, and transformed the company into the country's leading smartphone OEM company.
Orders came pouring in like crazy, not only did Qingyun Electronics successfully win the OEM contracts for Panda and Honor, but part of the orders from China Cool Alliance also began to be produced here.
Recently, we have successfully reached a cooperation with Shenzhou Electronics, the second largest PC manufacturer in China. There are too many orders and we cannot finish them.
Zhaoxu Electronics is developing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. It is recruiting and training new personnel all the time. The second and third most advanced production equipment are being debugged and assembled.
It seemed that everything was moving in the right direction, except that the former boss Yao Qing'an seemed unable to hold on behind bars. He was sick, very seriously ill, and his condition was incurable.
But no one cared about his feelings anymore. From the day he embezzled more than 200 million yuan in equipment purchase funds, his fate was doomed.
In other words, from the moment he touched the shuttle, he had already given up the whole world.
No one knew that when the two employees on the production line were complaining, their former boss had just been given a critical illness notice in the hospital and the doctor was only making his last effort.
Just do your best and leave it to fate...
"Can you two hurry up? The whole line gets stuck with you guys every time. Can you guys still do this?"
The line leader is speechless about these two watchmakers from Guangxi Province. They all work on piecework basis, and the more they work, the more they earn. But they just happen to run into these two live-action idiots. It seems like they feel uncomfortable if they don't make some noise every day?
"Then ask the glue guy. He always makes so much glue and it sticks to other places. What can I do if he can't get it off?"
The waiter was very angry and waved the tweezers in his hand, "It's already very slow, and you're still rushing it. What the hell are you rushing it for? If it doesn't work, you come."
Faced with this kind of tough situation, the line leader is helpless. He would have applied for a replacement long ago, but there are too many new employees recently.
There are too few skilled workers, and in order to catch up with the production schedule, he can only turn a blind eye. Unfortunately, all of his subordinates are people who look to others for their own benefit.
Seeing that he didn't dare to take real action, they all became more outrageous. Fortunately, the factory had various rules and regulations, and no one dared to cross the bottom line and disrupt the production order for the time being, but it was certain that it would affect the completion of the over-target task.
"What are you doing? You haven't made any progress in the two months you've been here. Why are you applying so much glue to seal it? Didn't I tell you to use plastic film to cover other places before sealing it with glue?"
The reason why a skilled worker is called a skilled worker is that he must have some technical skills and can usually complete his work with quality and quantity. Of course, you can't expect him to be obedient during the work.
The line leader also has his own way of dealing with these people, which is to give the person who is blamed a beating first. After all, as long as no one makes a mistake, these two people will have no chance to slack off.
The production efficiency of the production line can be improved, and with efficiency there is money. Who can resist money?
The female worker who was being scolded felt a little aggrieved and grumbled a few words under her breath, which led to an even louder reprimand from the line leader. In the end, the experienced female worker nearby couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded her to stop.
After finishing the job, the experienced female worker looked at the aggrieved girl and said, "Okay, get back to work. It's your fault that you got the sealant all over the place. The next process will have to deal with it for you."
There are dozens of people working on a production line, all of whom depend on production capacity for their livelihood. If a process in the middle affects efficiency, it will harm the interests of everyone. The skilled female worker is also kind-hearted.
If it were someone else, not swearing would be considered a light punishment.
The little girl knew this, but she just felt wronged. "But they didn't help, and they were the ones who talked back. Why am I the one who got scolded?"
The voice was a little loud, and Gui Sheng Biaoguo, who was standing next to him, heard it and almost laughed out loud, "Scold me? Believe it or not, after the night shift is over, I will get a truckload of bread men to block the factory gate and beat up the line leader?"
The little girl was confused, "Ah? Is this possible?"
The watchmaker smiled smugly and was about to continue bragging when he saw the line leader walking towards him. He quickly picked up the mobile phone's motherboard and pretended to test it.
"Liu Xiaoyang, what are you talking about?"
As the line leader asked, Liu Xiaoyang, who was called out, smiled and said, "No, teach her how to seal the glue."
Having worked in this factory for more than four years, Liu Xiaoyang has come to understand one thing deeply: it's okay to try to take advantage of others by talking nonsense, but don't force it, otherwise you will be the one who suffers.
Especially in the past six months or so, the factory's welfare benefits have undergone tremendous changes. In the past, you would work very hard and only get a little over a thousand yuan a month.
Since the salary structure was changed half a year ago, working overtime now earns 3,000 yuan. It’s also easy to buy an Honor phone in a month. Who dares to mess around and get fired?
"It's better to finish this batch quickly and get off work early, otherwise we will have to work overtime until three in the morning to finish it."
The line leader was very satisfied with his current attitude. He then walked around the production line and left with his hands behind his back.
"Damn, he used to be screwing screws on the production line like me, but now he's the head of the line and he doesn't even take us old brothers seriously."
Liu Xiaoyang raised his middle finger at his back and said disdainfully: "When I become the head of the online team, I will definitely take you away."
The buddy next to him who was singing the same tune frowned and said, "Stop bragging. It's almost eleven o'clock and there are still 150 mobile phones to be packaged and tested. If we don't finish it, we won't have any supper at the factory gate later."
"Diuleim, I wasn't hungry until you said it, but now I'm really hungry."
Liu Xiaoyang dropped the screen and the data cable in his hand, stood up and said, "Eating is the most important thing in the world. You take care of it first. I'll go to the factory gate to get some midnight snacks and come back later."
His good friend was not surprised by this, and no one else on the production line objected. Instead, people kept asking him to help bring some food.
Liu Xiaoyang did not refuse. He took the money with a smile, then walked out of the production workshop and headed straight for the factory gate.
The original factory of Zhaoxu Electronics was not large, and it was not even ranked among the top 30 foundries in Dongguan.
However, they have been getting nervous recently. The government has come to them again and again to ask them to expand their business. In order to keep Chaoxu Electronics, they even negotiated with the neighboring factory and offered some preferential terms.
They persuaded people to leave the factory that was operating normally! ! !
It's just so outrageous.
Because He Li, the new general manager of Chaoxu Electronics, was just a transitional figure and did not dare to make decisions on his own.
The newly appointed general manager, Fu Yujie, had deep feelings for the factory. For some unknown reason, he refused to agree to relocate the factory to a better area.
But with thousands and tens of thousands of people crowded in such a small place, and not even enough accommodation, the local government was convinced. They had never paid so much attention to a company in their lives.
They looked for land, resettlement buildings, and tried every possible means to eventually move the two factories next to the factory out.
The vacated factory buildings and employee dormitories were used to barely house Chaoxu Electronics.
There is no way. The current scale of Zhaoxu Electronics is indeed not ranked among the best in the whole Dongguan.
The Qingyun Group behind it is very powerful. The 400 million fuel motorcycle factory started by its subsidiary BYD Electronics in Dongguan is enough to make people look at it with high regard.
In order to compete for this factory, the Dongguan prefect had to offer a lot of preferential conditions before the factory was barely retained.
In addition, Qingyun Group submitted to the Dongguan government the import and export declaration data of Qingyun Electronics and other companies in the second half of the year, which was considered a big news.
What does an order volume of more than 10 million mobile phones mean?
The most important thing is that more than half of them are used for export to earn foreign exchange. Even if one unit is only sold for more than one hundred US dollars, if there are tens of millions of units, it is still a big business of more than ten billion US dollars.
Including the estimated 500,000 units for Panda, more than half of Honor's second batch of 3 million orders will come from Dongguan, and the company is so happy that it can't stop smiling.
The import and export of various parts and components can at least drive the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to several times the data. This is 2010, not 2024. The GDP of the entire Dongguan was just over billion last year.
As soon as Qingyun came, all kinds of large investments came pouring in like free money. Who could bear it?
Unfortunately, the nearby Pengcheng has acquired a trillion-dollar industrial chain, and there have been recent rumors that the neighboring Yangcheng is preparing to take over an eight-inch wafer factory from Lijiaopo. These typical high-tech companies have no chance of coming to Dongguan.
This hurt everyone, and they wondered if they had not done something well enough, causing Qingyun Group to subconsciously ignore them, so they paid more attention to Zhaoxu Electronics.
The most direct result of this emphasis was that Chaoxu Electronics suddenly expanded from one gate to seven gates, and the number of security guards increased from more than 20 to 200.
Finally, after coordination, the roads between the three factory areas were closed and turned into internal roads, and the problem was solved by having one gate for each factory area.
In May, the weather in eastern Guangdong had already entered summer. It was still a bit hot wearing a work shirt at night. It seemed impossible to sneak electronic components out of the factory in shorts and big sandals.
However, the security guard still diligently gave Liu Xiaoyang a full test, and only allowed him to leave the factory after seeing that there was no problem.
As for whether they were secretly slacking off during working hours, it was not a security concern. Anyway, they were all piece-rate workers now, so there was no need to worry about them not working. As soon as Liu Xiaoyang left the factory, he went straight to the meat-filled steamed bun and rice noodle roll stalls, quickly reported the dishes he ordered, and then took a stool and sat in the middle of the road like an old man.
"Hurry up, I'm starving. Remember to add more chili."
The stall owner knew him well and joked, "Yangzi, you're lazy again and you ran out early. Aren't you afraid that your boss will find out and fire you?"
Liu Xiaoyang tilted his head and said disdainfully, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just right to fire him. I'll go deliver food and then be in charge of the factory area. I don't know how cool it will be every month."
"Hey, you wish."
The stall owner pointed at the promotional poster of Chime in front of the stall and said, "I don't know about others, but the ones from your factory are not even wanted for delivery."
Liu Xiaoyang was stunned. "How is that possible?"
He really had this plan, because he worked twelve hours a day in the factory, without holidays all year round, and only earned less than five thousand yuan, and this was only in the last six months.
Previously, the minimum base salary was less than 2500 yuan, and you could not earn yuan even if you worked your ass off.
He heard from his friends that food delivery business in Dongguan was booming. He could earn 200 yuan with to orders a day, and yuan a month.
He was very excited, but worried that he couldn't do it. After all, he was a craftsman and a skilled worker in the electronics factory, and he could flirt with the girls on the production line when he had nothing to do.
Although it may not be possible to succeed, it is still okay to take advantage of it occasionally and coax a young child who is not very worldly-wise into finding a partner.
Delivery people are not so free. You have freedom, but you can't tease customers, right? I heard that if you receive a similar complaint, you will be fired. It's very strict.
"How is it impossible?"
The stall owner was obviously more informed than him, "Your boss is the same as Chime. He has a huge business, covering all walks of life, and I don't know how much money he has.
The big boss said that employees fired by the group will not be hired by other companies. If you want to leave the electronics factory to deliver food, it’s impossible.”
"Oh my god, there is such a thing?"
Liu Xiaoyang wondered whether he should be nicer to the line leader from now on.
Otherwise, what if I get fired and can’t deliver food anymore?
But he refused to admit defeat, "He is such a big boss, it is impossible for him to always keep an eye on the people leaving the electronics factory, right?"
The stall owner said honestly, "You never know. They really care about the electronics factory. Otherwise, they would make such a big fuss just for your boss's wife? They might even kill Mr. Yao's family."
The owner of the stall next to him was obviously new here, and he had a strong desire to learn. "So exciting? Tell me more."
"Pfft~"
As for gossip, everyone loves to listen to it, but it is boring to hear your own gossip from strangers.
Someone who secretly ran from Shanghai to Dongguan to get some peace and quiet was dumbfounded. He almost coughed after taking a bite of roujiamo.
Who else could it be except Li himself?
With the grand opening of the World Expo, merchants from all over the world flocked to the city, and provincial governments at home also sent effective investment promotion teams to the Magic City to carry out investment promotion work.
Originally, there are many businesses that need to be further confirmed between Qingyun Group and Southeast Asian countries, as well as traditional American capital groups.
However, the domestic investment promotion groups were too enthusiastic, and the small Qingyun Industrial Park was almost trampled out. Every day, as soon as work started, you could see investment promotion groups from various provinces blocking the door.
The person leading the team is either the governor or the executive vice-chairman. He comes to visit you in person. Do you have the nerve to refuse to receive him?
Well, with more than 30 provinces and cities across the country joining in, Li Zehua doesn't have to do anything else but show up and smile every day.
Three days, just three days.
On the May Fourth Youth Day, he carried the plane south overnight and ran away.
If you don't run, it will be too late.
If you agree to this, you will offend that. Some things you have to refuse, as they offer maximum preferential conditions in all aspects, and the governor will come to you in person to solicit investment. These are indispensable projects in the industrial chain.
Can you not give me face?
For example, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Sichuan, Hunan and Guangdong, which have always had good cooperation, had to give some benefits when their bosses came in person. But as soon as they loosened their grip, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars disappeared.
You want to use the excuse that the group's account funds are temporarily insufficient, but the boss waves his hand and the province arranges for fund raising. Do you want an interest-subsidized loan?
You can refuse it even if you want to. Anyway, you have chosen the Qingyun Group as your golden brand, so come here.
In just a few days, the group inexplicably had a bunch of investment projects, which made the subordinates complain one after another. The boss was happy, but where would the team members to prepare for the projects come from?
This is a very serious question.
However, Li Zehua had no time to think about this, because Wang Jianning brought the bigwigs from Jilin Province and scared him so much that he ran away overnight.
Just kidding.
More than 10 billion yuan has been invested in the resort, and it would not be enough even if he sells it. Moreover, if he gets involved in this muddy water, nothing good will happen to him. Where can he run when the reckoning comes?
In the end, he didn't even bother to negotiate with Temasek, arranged for Zhang Tao to book the nearest flight, and found a suitable excuse to escape overnight.
If it was any later, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle the pressure.
Just after getting off the plane, I made a few phone calls, and all of them were in Dongguan. Fu Yujie was still in a meeting at the factory at this time. She can be said to be putting her actions into practice. She is indeed a strong career woman.
There was no choice but to call Lin Wan for comfort. Unfortunately, this aunt of Fu Yujie's had her period and it would take two days for her to leave.
"...Am I the kind of person who doesn't know what's going on? That's hilarious. Since you don't trust me so much, I'll punish you by not talking to me for two days!"
After hanging up the phone, Li, who had nowhere to go, simply ran to the factory, not necessarily to find a place for his brother to stay at night.
Instead, he was thinking about the expansion of the electronics factory. So many provinces wanted projects, but it seemed that only BYD and Zhaoxu Electronics could produce immediate results.
Especially the latter, if it becomes bigger in the future, it may not be impossible to be comparable to Foxconn and Flextronics. It can be placed in inland cities to serve the domestic market, expand its influence in the local area, and safeguard the group's other businesses.
That's pretty good.
After all, a foundry can not only provide employment for tens of thousands of people, but also drive GDP growth. It is definitely a star project.
But I never thought that as soon as I arrived at the factory gate and sat down to eat a roujiamo, I would hear such exciting news.
"I, in order to get the boss's wife, destroyed the boss's family???"
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case. Although it was all Yao Qing'an's own fault, judging from the result, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
You Qi Zhang Tao came over and whispered, "Boss, Yao Qingan is dying in the hospital."
Li Zehua didn't say anything, but just continued to eat meat.
The stall owner continued to expose the news, "Let me tell you, this Boss Li is very cruel and ruthless.
Just think about it, in just over a year, he has built such a big business, and his hands must be stained with the blood of so many people..."
Liu Xiaoyang couldn't help but nod in agreement, "If it were someone else, I might not believe it, but for the boss lady, it's really possible.
Who doesn't know President Fu's appearance? She's so beautiful..."
If you want to brag, of course you say whatever you want, Liu Xiaoyang was quite puzzled as he spoke. This guy's name sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, as if he had a colleague named Diaomao with the same name.
But he didn't care. After all, his identity as the boss of Chaoxu Electronics meant that he would never be able to get in touch with that person, not to mention that he had taken over this company.
Hey, it would take a lot of money for his ancestors to think that it was the bastard he knew, the bastard who was so poor that he couldn't even afford a cigarette and had to find someone to smoke for himself.
We haven't been in touch for several years and I don't know where that guy is now.
"Ah, these damn rich people, they don't even know their own surnames just because they have a little money, they mess around and don't take human life seriously, they really deserve to die.
The boss lady is really worthless. She is still working so hard for that jerk at this hour. That jerk boss might be having fun with his mistresses right now."
"That's not certain. Maybe that bastard is sitting here eating Roujiamo."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted... (End of this chapter)
