Chapter 610 Merger
Xi Gaomin continued, "In terms of age, contributions, and surrounding facilities, our Third Garment Factory is superior to Shengxia Garment Factory in every aspect. Even in terms of outstanding contributions, our garment factory has a long history. During the difficult times of the 1960s, everyone tightened their belts and didn't even ask for wages. Don't you think these hard-won contributions count? We can't just look at the present when we're doing things!"

Her expression was ferocious.

Nobody seemed to feel much about it.

After all, shouting and yelling in such a large setting makes her look like a shrew.

But what she said now is quite touching.

The Third Garment Factory was indeed a step below the Summer Garment Factory, but it was still more than enough compared to other garment factories. It would be disheartening for them if it were easily swallowed up.

Qi Yuanchao looked at Chen Qing: "What does Factory Director Chen think?"

Chen Qing: "I personally have great respect for the contributions of our predecessors. Without their contributions, we would not have such a bright future."

She spoke politely.

But everyone knew that this wasn't what she truly meant.

Sure enough, Chen Qing changed the subject: "Like the Summer Sports Apparel Factory, the Third Garment Factory has two divisions: one responsible for domestic garment production, and the other for orders from the Canton Fair. This year, your Canton Fair orders only amounted to 60,000, which is far from enough to pay the workers. Furthermore, last year you applied for a subsidy of 110,000 because you neglected the clothing sold domestically, resulting in a large number of defective products. The number of defective products was so alarming that every person in the factory was eligible to receive more than three sets of cheap clothing. What right does a factory like this have to talk about leadership?"

Xi Gaomin was stunned by this string of data. His face went from red to white, then from white to green, as if a fig leaf had been ripped off in his face: "You! Don't resort to slander just because you can't win!!!"

The people at the conference table were also whispering among themselves.

Qi Yuanchao's brows gradually furrowed.

If it's true that every employee in the factory has more than three sets of clothes, that's indeed going too far.

Xi Gaomin made a last-ditch effort: "The equipment is old! The workers are incompetent! We'll manage them properly this year."

She took deep breaths, using all her strength to try and calm herself down.

She then turned to the attendees, trying to gain their sympathy: "Where is the superiority of socialism? Isn't it about common development? Her summer sportswear factory has many orders; they could easily share some with us so we can all work together to complete the national task! Why take the wrong path of merger?!"

This statement was made.

Everyone's expressions really changed.

It's all Chen Qing's fault!
She dropped a bomb right at the start.

This drew everyone's attention to the two factory directors.

But actually?
This is in the collective interest!!!
Just as someone was about to criticize Chen Qing, Chen Qing spoke first.

"You have all attended the Canton Fair and know how good the machinery from other countries is; ours is always a step behind."

I'm not saying this to be a Western worshipper. We need to face up to the gap, understand the gap, and finally, catch up with them!

It was no easy feat for Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory to secure an impressive order of 9.2 million yuan at the Canton Fair. We finally have a breakthrough to let foreigners take a good look at the quality of our domestic products. I think we should seize this opportunity.

All the factory managers are thinking about is sharing orders.

Yes.

We are all brothers and sisters.

Share the blessings and share the difficulties.

But how can we achieve consistency when faced with high production requirements?
I had high expectations of you in the early stages. Can you guarantee that you will consistently maintain the same quality and quantity?

Even the Third Garment Factory, after a brief period of cooperation, saw instances of embezzlement and laziness. I could spot those nearby immediately, but how could I possibly detect those further away?

Management costs are one thing.

Transportation costs can be set aside.

I think the most fatal flaw is communication!
Faced with high-priced clothing, my current goal is simply to produce high-quality products so that our Chinese brands can gain international recognition!
The summer sportswear factory is currently just a needle in a haystack.

It was just a small hole.

What I want to do is to widen this gap so that other factories can also have the opportunity to earn money from foreigners and give back to the domestic market.

The summer sportswear factory is a pilot project, and it may become the standard!
What I need to do is maintain high standards.

We want the world to recognize us, and for people around the world to learn from us.

This is the mission of Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory.

Therefore, what the summer sportswear factory needs is large-scale management, not scattered operations in various corners.

Qi Yuanchao looked intently at Chen Qing. He had heard that Chen Qing wasn't very good at giving ideological education lectures to his employees.

But every time she speaks in public, it is inspiring.

Her words have a magical charm, making it easy for people to let their imaginations run wild with her words.

Everyone's expressions shifted slightly; following her approach would indeed be good for the country.

but……

It's not good for individuals.

But most factory managers are opportunistic.

If someone is fighting for it, then fight for it!

If no one fights for it, then forget it.

Sigh, there's no way around it, Chen Qing is too terrifying, you can't offend her by relying on just one person!

Xi Gaomin watched as the textile industry people at the scene whispered among themselves, but no one stepped forward, and his heart sank deeper and deeper.

Chen Qing unleashed another powerful move: "It's not without hope that you all want to secure orders."

The factory managers at the conference table looked at each other in bewilderment.

Didn't she already say that management shouldn't be decentralized?

Chen Qing said, "The Third Garment Factory has domestic orders. After they merge with Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory, these orders... will belong to you."

Xi Gaomin turned pale in an instant; at this moment, she was truly doomed.

She felt as if her soul had been ripped away, and she collapsed onto the chair.

At the meeting table, no one had any further objections to the merger.

They just want more orders.

Faced with the troublesome Chen Qing and the dejected Xi Gaomin.

You can choose either one.

Self-interest is their only true friend.

As for verbal allies?

It's just talk.

If Chen Qing is too difficult to deal with, then let's just kill Xi Gaomin.

Unlike the others at the conference table, Qi Yuanchao had a strange sense of shared sorrow.

just in case……

What if Chen Qing wants to target him?

Can he easily dodge it?
How long did Chen Qing actually plan this grand scheme?

Did it begin when the Canton Fair was located at the Third Garment Factory? Or when she entered the garment industry?

Proceed step by step.

They have not lost a game so far.

At a conference table, the domestic orders for the Third Garment Factory were completely divided up.

A tear slid down Xi Gaomin's cheek.

Qi Yuanchao: "From now on, Comrade Xi Gaomin will be the deputy director of Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory..."

Chen Qing: "The Party Secretary, perhaps?"

Qi Yuanchao thought that the position of secretary was higher than that of deputy factory director: "From now on, Comrade Xi Gaomin will become the secretary of Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory. The leaders of other positions will be selected internally by Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory. Does anyone have any objections?"

No one objected.
