As trucks of sunflower seeds left the factory, the entire staff began to buzz with excitement.
They saw hope, the hope that the entire factory could rise and even become a star enterprise.
Most people, when Yu Zhou first took over the factory, were actually a little uneasy in their hearts.
Did this boss have the ability? Could he pay them a stable salary? These were things they were completely unaware of and couldn't even imagine.
If the factory collapsed just because of a change of ownership, it would mean losing everyone's jobs.
They were all workers, and their jobs were to support their families.
Even though the management had gradually become stricter and wages had started to increase little by little, it was impossible to say that their inner unease had completely disappeared.
Now, batches of sunflower seeds were leaving the factory, even when it wasn't the peak season.
What did this mean? It meant that even without festivals or peak seasons, the dried fruit factory still had products to make and income.
"Before, I was worried that once it wasn't the peak season, even if we worked, we would only get a small salary, as that's just how a dried fruit factory is."
"It's even more so with a private owner. Who would still try their best to pay us high salaries when they weren't making money?"
"But now, sunflower seeds have broken our limitation of seasonal products. This means we won't have to worry about our future salaries!"
A worker said emotionally in the factory.
His concerns were actually the worries of many workers.
If they really couldn't continue, where would they find another job?
After all, this was not the past or the future, when large numbers of laid-off workers were all waiting to find work. A single position was equivalent to a family's livelihood.
Once this livelihood and job were lost, it was simply unimaginable.
"We are truly lucky to have survived this wave of layoffs. For any worker, it is an absolute fortune."
"Isn't that the truth? I heard that some families had no choice but to resort to begging. Now there are so many street vendors because so many laid-off workers couldn't be resettled."
"Alas, who knows when this kind of life will end!"
When this was mentioned, a sense of sigh emerged on the faces of many workers.
After all, in this era, it was far too common for entire families of workers to be in such a situation in this city.
It wasn't just that entire families were workers; some had relatives and friends, most of whom were also knitters.
But when a wave of layoffs came, countless people faced starvation. In such a situation, even if you managed to keep your own job, you couldn't guarantee that your family, relatives, and friends could keep theirs.
These waves of worker unemployment, if truly considered, didn't just destroy individuals; sometimes, they could even destroy a family or a clan.
"As long as we follow this new boss now, I believe there won't be any more talk of losing jobs."
"How long has he been at our dried fruit factory? He's already opened things up. Honestly, I never imagined that even in the off-season, our dried fruit factory could produce such products and vitality."
It wasn't just the employees who were incredibly happy; even the managers in the factory were all very happy.
Indeed, the biggest credit for the production of sunflower seeds belonged to their new boss. However, this also ignited their ambitions, the ambition to fight a tough battle alongside Yu Zhou.
Perhaps, the strict rules Yu Zhou had set before, even in the eyes of these management personnel, seemed a bit too harsh. But at this moment, they all felt that it was not excessive.
As long as there was someone who could lead them to make money and develop the dried fruit factory better and better, then even if it was a bit harder and they had to follow the rules more strictly, what did it matter?
In this world, it's not that everything is about looking forward, but at least money is an indispensable thing.
These people had always lived in the factory. Once unemployed, they might not even have the most basic survival skills.
In the countryside, although the villagers were very poor, it didn't mean they had nothing to eat. At the very least, they still had a few acres of land, and eating was not a problem.
But in the city, without land, without any living subsidies, and without any source of income, it was simply unimaginable.
"Factory Director, all of this vitality you've brought to the dried fruit factory."
Beside the office building, listening to the employees' words, and seeing the genuine smiles on their faces, Liang Xiaohai was also very happy at this moment.
He had deep feelings for the dried fruit factory and was perhaps the one who least wanted to see it decline.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of trying to involve the supply and marketing cooperatives before.
After all, if things didn't go well, it would be equivalent to directly offending a behemoth like the supply and marketing cooperatives.
But he had bet correctly. Not only did they get goods from a large number of supply and marketing cooperatives today, but the factory had also received some of the payment.
This indicated that the entire factory could now enter a virtuous cycle. At that time, as long as the sunflower seed products did not run out and there were no large-scale returns, the dried fruit factory would surely prosper and truly forge its own path.
"It's all due to everyone's efforts. I am also one of those who worked hard."
"Now, we rise and fall together. In this general environment, making money is actually not that difficult."
"But if we don't pay attention to anything and only focus on money, the enterprise will also not grow big."
"We need to have long-term plans and strategic vision that others envy. Only then can we go far."
Yu Zhou was also very satisfied with Liang Xiaohai's performance today.
He knew that even if he hadn't done this today, the supply and marketing cooperatives would have inevitably become his customer base later.
However, knowing something is one thing, and their clear stance now is another matter entirely.
This greatly saved them time in moving forward. In this regard, Liang Xiaohai's contribution was immense.
"Now, we have to see how the final sales of this batch of goods turn out. Then we can make plans and gradually develop..."
Liang Xiaohai also said with emotion.
He knew that his actions today had caught the attention of Boss Yu.
