Chapter 439 Inspection of the Textile Processing Plant
Fu Ziyan's arrival was sudden, but Liu Hui, who had received the news, did not keep it simple.
Since Xiangjiang was transferred here to serve as the factory manager, Liu Hui has always been prepared for the young lady to come and inspect the factory suddenly. From the young lady's words and attitude, he could sense the importance she attached to this textile processing factory.
Fortunately, the Panyu government provided support, and with favorable local policies, the textile processing plant developed rapidly. He was confident and didn't need to panic when the young lady came to inspect the factory.
As soon as Fu Ziyan's car arrived, Liu Hui and his assistant came to greet her.
He wasn't followed by any factory management.
Firstly, the news of the young lady's sudden inspection was spread too hastily, and the factory's management had not prepared appropriate clothes to welcome her in advance. The hasty summons would have made things look awkward. Secondly, based on his intuition, Liu Hui felt that the young lady probably didn't want to make too much of a fuss.
Fu Ziyan didn't notice the people following Liu Hui; she was in a hurry.
Upon meeting Liu Hui, at Mu Mu's prompting, Liu Hui began to report on the production and operation of the textile processing plant for the month.
"Besides supplying linens to some Yuanxi hotels in Southeast Asia, our factory's orders from Southeast Asia are also maintaining a good level, with some new orders gradually increasing. This month's orders increased by 10% year-on-year, but due to the seasonality of the textile processing industry, they decreased by 20% month-on-month..."
Fu Ziyan's expression remained unchanged, but she was satisfied.
Supplying bed sheets and linens to Yuanxi Hotel in Southeast Asia was originally Fu Ziyan's plan before the textile processing factory was established. However, at that time, production technology was limited, and she initially only wanted to wait until the technology matured so that, in addition to supplying the White Swan Hotel, she could gradually increase the supply of linens to Yuanxi Hotel in Southeast Asia.
Even Fu Ziyan herself did not expect that the factory's products could meet the supply standards so quickly. Before the White Swan Hotel was built, it had already completed the restructuring of the Yuanxi Hotel linen supply chain in the area surrounding Xiangjiang.
It's worth noting that the restructuring of the food supply chain took two years of signing and refinement before it was finally finalized last year.
Her satisfaction didn't stop there.
In the past two years, every time Liu Hui came to Xiangjiang to report on the situation, the figures on the financial report showed an upward trend. This not only reflects the increase in sales revenue, but also directly demonstrates that the factory's production capacity is steadily increasing. If this continues, no, in fact, it is now a major factory that dominates Panyu and drives the local economy.
Liu Hui talked as he walked, leading the young lady toward the factory without stopping.
As the factory continues to expand, the textile processing plant has expanded by 4,000 square meters from its original factory building.
As you approach the workshop, you can feel the ground vibrating slightly under your feet from the machines running. As the workshop's iron gate opens, the smell of cotton fills the air, hundreds of machines pulsate before your eyes, and young female workers wearing white work hats deftly move their fingers through the yarn, while cotton fibers dance in the light.
Their attention was focused on the spinning machines in front of them, and only a few female workers who had a spare moment would look up to see who was coming in.
Upon closer inspection, I was astonished.
Why did the factory manager suddenly come?
He even followed respectfully beside a young lady!
I've always heard that their factory was personally surveyed and invested in by a young lady from Hong Kong. Could she be that young lady herself?!
With this in mind, the female workers who had been looking up became serious, and when they looked down, they worked even more carefully, striving to show the best side of their work.
Noticing the expressions on some of the female workers' faces, Fu Ziyan couldn't help but chuckle. She found these workers adorable and then strolled around the entire workshop, trying to make sure her gaze swept over every single worker.
Everyone is great.
More than 80% of the employees in the textile processing plant are women. Looking at the female workers' serious expressions and their energetic spirit, Fu Ziyan suddenly felt very happy.
As a woman, she naturally leans towards women and subconsciously thinks that these female workers, who are mostly employed, will no longer have to rely on others and can freely use their earnings, thus improving their status in the family and even making marriage easier and more comfortable. In the future, they will also have a voice in their own families.
That's fine.
She finds it difficult to change the male-centric society's preference for men, but she is pleasantly surprised when she sees that her businesses can inadvertently help support the lives of more women.
Liu Hui was unaware that the young lady was pleased to see more female workers, and led her to continue inspecting their factory.
"Because of the limited space, we have only built one building for the technical workers who come from Hong Kong to provide technical guidance. Most of the other workers are local and can go home to live. A small number of workers from neighboring counties and towns will rent houses in the villages there." At this point, Liu Hui added a bit of his own motive, "I plan to get land from the county to build a few more staff dormitory buildings."
This is because they want to take advantage of the young lady's visit and her excited mood to apply for more funds to build dormitory buildings for the factory.
Fu Ziyan knew Liu Hui's intentions, but did not refuse, saying directly, "Okay, once you've prepared everything, submit the application documents."
Liu Hui's lips curled up even more.
As a factory manager, how can you not seek benefits for your employees?
Although he was just a high-level employee and the young lady was the boss, she had so many businesses under her name that she couldn't possibly remember these small things, so he had to fight for them.
Fu Ziyan looked towards the village not far away, where two three-story buildings stood out significantly taller than the other houses.
Liu Hui, observing the situation, took the initiative to explain: "The owners of those two buildings are two brothers, one a retired soldier and the other a former driver. They both have savings. They are quick-witted and have the courage to gamble. Seeing that our factory is developing, they knew that some workers were renting rooms outside, so they demolished and rebuilt their own houses, and specially partitioned several rooms for rent."
Fu Ziyan nodded, knowing that this was one of the early landlords.
Those who seized the opportunities after the reform and opening up naturally became the first to get rich; a quick start leads to continuous success. With the courage and determination of these two brothers, as long as their descendants can maintain their position, their families will definitely have a bright future.
Although the factory will build dormitories later, the two brothers' rental business will continue. The factory will build dormitories for single employees, while married workers who want to live together will still have to rent out their apartments. After all, it's a private factory, and it can't build staff housing like state-owned factories.
