Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

The mere mention of being laid off sends shivers down Li Lan's spine.

Layoff? What will you do after being laid off? What can you do?!

If I go into business with Aimin, won't people look down on me and talk behind my back all day?

Besides, now that everyone's gone into business, our family's social class won't change, will it?

If everything were like this, would everything be alright?

Seeing Li Lan's changing expression, Yang Jianguo sighed inwardly.

Even Li Lan, whose husband made a lot of money in business, behaved this way.

How stubborn can the ideas of those workers who only know how to work in the factory all their lives be?

Yang Jianguo's mind raced as he considered how to properly resettle these people and guide them to find their own way to make a living.

"Brother-in-law, that exhibition your old factory organized was amazing! I bought this car there, you didn't see it..."

Exhibition, old factory... steel rolling mill, tertiary industry...

slap~

Yang Jianguo slapped his thigh and stood up. "You all sit down first, I'm going out for a bit."

Chapter 387 Good heavens, vases are best suited for the bedroom!

Outsourcing of tertiary industries and guidance for laid-off workers to find new employment.

Once the tone and development goals are set, workers can gradually come into contact with the market and adapt to market competition through outsourcing.

This both responds to policy calls and encourages workers to go out and reduce the burden on personnel.

It won't be too abrupt, giving workers some time to adapt and avoiding catastrophic conflicts that could lead to tragedy.

This will ensure a smooth transition during the restructuring and also generate revenue for the factory.

Three birds with one stone!

However, even the best system is only effective if someone implements it.

Yang Jianguo's initial intention was good.

Whether it will be truly effective depends on the level of implementation at the grassroots level.

He's not some kind of divine being who can arrange everything perfectly with a wave of his hand.

As an insignificant member of society, all Yang Jianguo can do is his best and leave the rest to fate.

"Some Thoughts on the Results of the Reform Experimental Fields and Their Comprehensive Promotion"—this was Yang Jianguo's third report to his superiors.

This will also be his last report.

Everything I can think of, and everything I can add, is included here.

Now, he needs to get the handover of the machinery factory in the suburbs of Beijing sorted out first, since Ma Degui's money has already been deposited into the account.

"Boss." Upon seeing Yang Jianguo, the driver, Xiao Duan, opened the car door.

Yang Jianguo nodded and said, "Didn't I tell you I can do it myself?"

"That won't do. This is my job. If the director sees this, he'll send me home!"

Xiao Duan's smiling expression made it impossible to tell if he was being genuine or not.

Serving this leader was the most relaxed he had experienced in all the years he had been driving.

In the past, leaders never used cars.

He would ride his own bicycle back and forth, only asking him to bring the car over for formal occasions or when he needed to go out.

He was very polite and took good care of me.

Xiao Duan would be happy to drive for a leader like that for the rest of his life.

"Let's go!" After getting into the car and settling in, Yang Jianguo fell into thought.

I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to myself, and my mind just keeps racing.

Once they arrived at their destination, Xiao Duan gave him a few reminders, which snapped Yang Jianguo out of his thoughts.

"Boss, we see quite a few workers coming from ahead."

Xiao Duan was a little nervous and said, "Please don't get out of the car yet, let me go check the situation."

"It's alright, pull over." Yang Jianguo told him to pull over, his hand already on the car door.

Knowing he couldn't persuade him otherwise, Xiao Duan quickly pulled over, pulled the handbrake, and got out of the car.

"Master Yang~"

"Master Yang, you have to stand up for us!"

"Master Yang, is this factory really being sold?"

The repeated questions and the bewildered, sorrowful faces made Yang Jianguo realize that they were not there to cause trouble.

These people dedicated their youth and their entire lives to the machinery factory in the suburbs of Beijing.

For them, this is a place more familiar than home.

In most of my life's memories, the machinery factory on the outskirts of Beijing has always been the main focus.

Now, the home that once made them proud is gone.

My heart is pounding!

"Masters, everyone," Yang Jianguo called out, supporting the old master who was walking towards him.

Everything that needed to be said was said last time, and everyone understands the reasoning.

Understanding something doesn't mean you can accept it.

No matter what he says now, it's meaningless.

It's simply a matter of guiding the veteran workers to vent their frustrations and anxieties.

Once they gradually accept and recognize reality, they will naturally feel better.

As for how to accept this reality!

Yang Jianguo didn't know, and perhaps he would never be able to accept it.

But the general trend of the times never stops because of the will of an individual; this has always been the case throughout history.

Small trends can be changed, but major trends are irreversible!

This is Yang Jianguo's most genuine feeling and experience over the years.

"Alright, everyone get up, get up!"

Yang Jianguo helped the old master, who wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, to his feet: "Get up, everyone. I promise you all."

"The factory's compensation will definitely be in place, and I will personally supervise that."

"The wages during the transition period will be fully paid to everyone as soon as possible, not a penny less."

"Those who want to come back to work should wait until the boss takes over the factory and gets everything sorted out."

"Workers from the original machinery factory have priority in being hired, so you can rest assured about that."

"Of course, if you don't do well and get fired by your boss, you can only blame yourself for not being capable enough, and you can't blame anyone else!"

"However, I believe that the experienced craftsmen present are all reasonable people."

“We’ve been through all sorts of storms and disasters… Here, I encourage everyone to go out and earn a living with their own hands and through hard work. There’s nothing shameful about doing anything.”

"Our ancestors said that we should rely on our own efforts. Now the higher-ups are encouraging everyone to get rich through hard work. You should trust the organization's decision."

Behind the crowd, two cars were parked on the side of the road where Yang Jianguo had come from.

Zhang Liangyu and Ma Degui sat in the car, watching the figure in front of them speaking to the workers, their expressions different.

Yang Jianguo always speaks with such conviction.

He possesses a strange, infectious quality that always draws people into his world.

"My uncle's judgment is still as accurate as ever," Zhang Liangyu said with a sigh.

The person in front of me radiates an aura that even my uncle can't suppress.

Nowadays, it's registered there too.

To be able to serve as an advisor to the imperial city, one cannot be an ordinary person!

It's important to understand that the words and proposals put forward by these advisors directly influence the overall trend of events.

To reach this point in the prime of life, that's incredible, truly incredible!

Recalling the analysis and judgment her uncle had made to her, Zhang Liangyu felt that she should maintain this relationship.

We should strengthen our connections with each other.

"When people leave, the tea grows cold. Once I retire, the influence of your father and me won't last you many years. In the end, it will depend on your own actions."

Thinking of the disappointment and helplessness in her uncle's eyes when he talked about these things, Zhang Liangyu felt a sense of urgency she had never felt before.

The crowd dispersed, and the driver, Ah Hong, reminded them, "The people have dispersed."

Zhang Liangyu glanced up and thought for a moment, then said, "Move the car over there. I'll ride in his car later, and you follow."

"Boss, there's a car coming from behind." Yang Jianguo, who was persuading the people to turn back, also heard Xiao Duan's reminder.

Looking back, he recognized the license plate; who else could it be but Zhang Liangyu?

In the car behind, Ma Degui was sticking his head out and waving!

A few minutes later, the three cars merged into a convoy and drove into the factory. Zhang Liangyu got into Yang Jianguo's car.

Only Ma Degui, who was following behind, was left in the car wondering what the two of them would say to each other.

"Boss, are you sure this isn't a scam?" The secretary, dressed in brightly colored clothes with sheer stockings covering her thighs, asked sweetly.

The sound sent shivers down my spine.

But Ma Degui's expression changed, and he said coldly, "I'd better keep your mouth shut when I don't need it."

Seeing that he was angry, the secretary trembled with fear and timidly said, "I'm sorry, boss, I won't say anything more."

"Don't get yourself into trouble, and don't cause me any more trouble." Glancing at that charming little face, Ma Degui said expressionlessly, "Next time, you'd better not come along."

This pretty but idiotic vase is better suited for the bedroom.

Chapter 388 Handover: Yang Jianguo is ill

I didn't talk about anything substantial with Zhang Liangyu in the car.

However, Yang Jianguo noticed that his attitude had changed.

They are more docile than before, and their inherent arrogance has been suppressed.

To put it bluntly, those uncomfortable sharp edges on her have been smoothed out, and she's become more adept at handling things than before.

It seems that all that I've been through has paid off.

With the factory gate just ahead, Zhang Liangyu suddenly brought up the matter of 'stocks'.

"What are your thoughts on stocks, Director Yang?" Zhang Liangyu asked sincerely.

In his view, Yang Jianguo, who could become an advisor to the imperial city, must have some unique insights.

This wasn't the first time Yang Jianguo had heard the word "stocks." Was the stock market really that lively these days?

"With your current capital, you'll have a hard time managing Jiangdao's business. If you really want to get rich through this, go to the mainland!"

Yang Jianguo only recently learned that Shenzhen Land had issued its first stock, Shenzhen Baoan, a few days ago.

The combined public and local government investment of 200 million yuan has thoroughly boosted the lives of the people in the special economic zone who are at the forefront of the times.

To date, more than half of the 800 million shares to be issued have been subscribed.

Whether Zhang Liangyu can get on this train depends on how fast he can act.

As for how much money he could make, Yang Jianguo had no memory of it, but he could judge based on his life experience.
