Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

Upon hearing Director Chen's words, Factory Director Wu raised an eyebrow and asked curiously:

"Oh? Tell me."

If Liangji Bicycle Factory's reputation is damaged and their fixed-gear bicycles stop selling, then the sales of fixed-gear bicycles from the Second Sports Equipment Factory will naturally increase.

Wu Yong was parachuted into the Second Sports Equipment Factory as its director, precisely because of this achievement.

Director Chen didn't waste any words and said, "Director Wu, the fixed-gear bicycles produced in our factory are made of better materials than those from private bicycle factories!"

"Why don't we organize an event so they can compare the two companies' products?"

"Compare products?" Wu Yong, intrigued, asked, "Tell me in detail."

Director Chen immediately explained his thoughts in detail.

Upon hearing this, the executives from the surrounding sporting goods factories all brightened up and began to speak:

"Director Chen's idea is excellent!"

"It's not that we don't know the value of goods, it's that we're afraid of comparing them. How can Liang's bicycle factory's fixed-gear bicycles compare to ours?"

Wu Yong was also very satisfied with Director Chen's idea of ​​comparing goods, and nodded, saying:

"Alright, then let's compare it with Liang's Bicycle Factory. Only when the people know how good the quality of our fixed-gear bicycles is will they reject their fixed-gear bicycles."

After seeing that the factory director had agreed to his suggestion, Director Chen also showed a smug smile.

This shows that you are still valuable to your leader. A valuable subordinate will never be sidelined.

After the meeting, Wu Yong instructed his subordinates to begin preparing for a product comparison with Liang's Bicycle Factory.

He, on the other hand, kept Director Chen.

"Director Wu, is there anything else you need?"

When Director Chen saw that Wu Yong had kept him behind, he knew that the leader must have something to arrange, so he asked seriously.

Seeing that Director Chen understood his meaning before he even spoke, Wu Yong smiled and said:

"Old Chen, you're the first person I appointed after I took office. There are some things I need to talk to you about behind closed doors."

When Director Chen heard the factory manager say that the door was closed, he knew that this matter was definitely not honorable.

The leader would never do something so dishonorable, so he, as the vanguard, had to volunteer.

"Factory Director, please speak. I will listen attentively and learn from your words," Director Chen said quickly.

Seeing that Director Chen's attitude was correct, Wu Yong lowered his voice and said:

"Old Chen, when comparing product quality with private bicycle factories, we need to be absolutely certain, and if necessary..."

After hearing Wu Yong's words, Director Chen's face showed a strange expression, and he hesitated:

"Director Wu, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Even if we compare product quality fairly and squarely, we're not afraid of them."

"If we do this and get caught, it will only make things harder to explain."

Wu Yong stared sharply at Director Chen and said, "As long as you don't leak this information, how could anyone else possibly find out?"

"This concerns our Second Sports Equipment Factory; we cannot afford to fail."

Seeing Wu Yong's firm attitude, Director Chen nodded helplessly and said, "Director Wu, I understand. I will take care of this matter!"

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for your good news!" Wu Yong said in a deep voice.

Director Chen nodded and then left the meeting room.

Wu Yong looked towards the conference room door and muttered to himself:

"No one can tarnish my resume."

"Liang's Bicycle Factory is better off going out of business!"

……

Liang Ming was unaware that his bicycle factory had already caught the eye of the new factory manager of the Second Sports Equipment Factory.

A conspiracy against them is brewing in secret.

Liang Ming is currently inspecting the Liangji Canned Food Factory in Taoyuan Township.

Jars of plump lychees are continuously being produced from the lathe.

Every worker had a happy smile on their face.

"Once the new cannery expansion is completed, I should be able to become a team leader, don't you think?"

"You're useless. You're only good enough to be a team leader. I'm definitely going to be the workshop supervisor."

"Dream on, this workshop supervisor position is definitely mine."

Several workers chatted idly as they worked.

Everyone knows that Liangji Canned Food Factory is now a key enterprise supported by Taoyuan Township.

The authorities are providing land and recruiting people to help the cannery expand.

The land for the new cannery site has been leased, and the construction team has already started work and is working diligently.

As long-time employees of the cannery, their future benefits and treatment will definitely get better and better.

Some less ambitious workers shook their heads and said, "I don't care about promotions or not. I only care about what gifts the factory will give out for the Dragon Boat Festival, which is just a month away."

Once this topic was brought up, the other workers also started discussing it amongst themselves.

Their factory hasn't given out holiday gifts in a long time.

Before the Spring Festival, other factories would give out Spring Festival gifts, but at that time, their former boss, Wang Ren, was almost bankrupt, so how could he possibly give them gifts?

"Will I not receive any gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"That can't be right. Boss Liang is so generous, he wouldn't not give a gift."

At this moment, Wang Ren and Liang Ming arrived at the workshop and heard a commotion inside. They thought something had happened.

Upon closer listening, I realized that the workers were discussing whether they would receive gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival.

“These guys, they start making fun of me the moment I’m not in the workshop.”

"I only missed giving out one Spring Festival gift because I had a temporary cash flow problem before the new year. Is it really necessary to bring it up now?"

Wang Ren muttered to himself.

Hearing Wang Ren's words, Liang Ming, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but smile.

Wang Ren's financial situation wasn't just temporarily tight; it was a complete financial crisis that forced him to sell the entire factory.

Of course, Liang Ming wouldn't bring this up directly, but instead said with a smile, "Director Wang, it's understandable that they would have this concern."

"Since they've brought this up, let's just let them have some fun."

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Wang Ren asked curiously, "Boss Liang, what do you mean?"

"When the workers leave work in the afternoon, send out a notice asking them to think about what they want most for the Dragon Boat Festival..." Liang Ming said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ren asked, almost as if possessed, "Boss Liang, if the workers want color TVs, will you give them to them too?"

As soon as he said that, Wang Ren regretted it.

Even the cheapest domestically produced color TV costs over a thousand yuan, while an imported Panasonic color TV costs over 2000 yuan.

With such an expensive color TV, even if an ordinary worker in their cannery worked for three or four years without eating or drinking, they still couldn't afford one.

How could Liang Ming possibly give color TVs to workers as Dragon Boat Festival gifts?

To everyone's surprise, Liang Ming smiled and nodded when he heard Wang Ren's words, saying, "Giving away a color TV? That's not out of the question..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ren was stunned.

Are they really giving away a color TV?

Has the boss gone mad?!
