70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 557 Future Development of the Garment Factory

Chen Qing: "We mainly need to expand our business, targeting the sales department, design department, and the Canton Fair team."

Wei Jianping disagreed: "Our dormitory funding has just been approved, where would we get the money to set up new projects?!"

Chen Qing: "Secretary Wei, what you said makes sense, so we need to borrow some money from the country."

borrow money.

This is something only poorly performing factories would do.

People nowadays care about saving face, so they'll try to put up with it as much as possible.

The prevailing idea now is: not to cause trouble for the country.

Chen Qing couldn't judge right or wrong, because many of the older generation genuinely preferred to suffer themselves rather than trouble the country, and would stubbornly bear any difficulties. Perhaps it was this behavior of not leaving themselves a way out that led to many miracles.

But Chen Qing's upbringing was different, so she felt that when there was an opportunity to develop, she had to seize it.

The moment Chen Qing uttered the words "borrow money," he faced the first collective rebuttal since the factory's establishment.

Wei Jianping angrily said, "Our profit share is among the highest in the country. It would be so embarrassing to borrow money from us!"

Since Chen Qing became a role model, the garment factory workers have developed a sense of honor in their work, feeling that their factory is different from other factories.

If Chen Qing were to borrow money, wouldn't the factory become a laughingstock?!
Tian Mengya pursed her lips.

She felt it was inappropriate.

But Chen Qing always stirs up big trouble. As her good friend, she's seen it all before, so she chooses to remain silent for now to avoid losing face later.

The workshop foremen all tried to persuade Chen Qing tactfully: "Factory Director, we can always squeeze out some money, right? Setting up three departments will only require building a single-story house at most. We don't need to hire too many people, what do you think?"

Chen Qing: "The sales department and the Canton Fair special team may not burn money, but the design department does."

Everyone looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Because she can design products for the Canton Fair all by herself, why would she need to hire outsiders?!
Chen Qing's expression darkened. "So you all naturally assume that I'm doing all the work of a factory manager while also taking on the responsibilities of a design team, right?"

Her tone turned cold at the end.

Everyone present lowered their heads in unison.

Chen Qing scoffed, "I can design for one year, two years, ten years, but what about after that? We need to take responsibility for the families of thousands of people in the entire garment factory. What about long-term planning?! What, are you thinking of being a petty thug, working one year and then coasting along?! This garment factory has been around for half a year now, has anyone given me a long-term development plan?! Not a single person has done that! What are you all good for if not to work here?!"

She slammed her hand on the table in anger.

Everyone lowered their heads again.

I was embarrassed just now, but now I'm filled with shame.

After calming down a bit, Chen Qing continued, "We are a factory that receives a lot of attention from the outside world, which proves that we have to deliver satisfactory results every time we appear on stage. How can we achieve good results in the long run? That requires a mature system!"

"The sales department's top priorities are: who to sell to, how to maintain customer relationships, and how to expand business!"

"The Canton Fair special task force is equally important. Are we really just going to send a bunch of temporary workers to the Canton Fair every time?! We used to be clever to attract attention, but will we continue to be clever? How to organize the Canton Fair, the advertising for the Canton Fair, the staff for the Canton Fair, and so on—don't we need to set up a special task force for all of this?!"

"As for the design department, Director Tian from the finance department just mentioned that Mr. Marcus is very satisfied with our business. Should we delve deeper into this client and make him more closely associated with us?"
How to deepen the connection? It's about designing inexpensive, mass-producible clothing that satisfies Marcus. And what about the clothes at the Canton Fair? Do you think we can rely solely on my inspiration? What if I run out of inspiration one day? Have you thought about that?

The existence of Chen Qing in the East is merely novel; but if there were many like me, that would be professional! Truly convincing!

We are playing the international card, which requires innovative people, and even more so, people who can keep up with international trends.

The Summer Sports Apparel Factory doesn't belong to me alone; it belongs to the collective. Do you understand?!

The entire room was as quiet as a chicken's.

Not a single person uttered a word.

Everyone respected and admired Chen Qing, but at the same time, a burning ambition also resided in their hearts.

Lei Songyue raised her hand and said, "I support the factory director's idea. Although we may be ridiculed for borrowing money for a while, we are pioneers and role models. We should do what others dare not do and try new things to achieve new success. We are all young people. Let's take a chance and work hard. Losing some face is nothing. The main thing is to lead the garment factory to become better!"

Chen Qing nodded in satisfaction.

The factory director's speech resonated deeply with her.

Wu Changjiang, the director of the ironing workshop, also agreed: "I support the factory director, but we need to discuss the amount and how to implement the factory director's plan."

Chen Qing nodded: "Director Wu has hit the nail on the head. Everyone can share their opinions. Let's talk about how the garment factory should develop in the future. It's dangerous for us to rely solely on foreign exchange to survive. You need to understand that our garment factory operates entirely on foreign exchange; we don't have any domestic quotas!!!"

This means that if we don't have foreign exchange, we will bear all the consequences!
This is a very dangerous thing, but it also proves that we have the greatest opportunity.

Because we have embarked on a path no one else has walked before, future troop deployments are of paramount importance.

She suddenly started talking about future developments, catching everyone off guard because no one had prepared any plans for the future.

Chen Qing then said, "Those who support borrowing money for development, please raise your hands. It's unanimously approved. Now we can consider what to do next."

Everyone looked at each other, how could this not pass?!

With such a huge hole in front of you, if you don't wait to buy soil to fill it in, do you expect to become a long jump athlete?

Wei Jianping wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face turning ashen. Under the intense gazes of the crowd, he shakily raised his hand.

Some people may find it okay at first, but as they delve deeper, it will only feel as distant as an insurmountable chasm.

She's only twenty-two!

He was over forty.

He was powerless against Chen Qing.

Her thoughts, abilities, vision, and overall perspective far surpass his.

For a moment, Wei Jianping began to doubt whether he was just a propagandist.
His role was simply to be pushed out by Chen Qing when she was unwilling to engage in ideological education.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Chen Qing said, "Give me an actionable plan in a week. It doesn't have to be grand; the important thing is that it's actionable. What I want is for everyone to share their opinions on how to work together to make the garment factory better."

Her tone has become very gentle now.

But no one believed she was a gentle leader!
