Development Model

"Sister Hong, do we really have to do this? Our Canned Food Factory's environment might look unhygienic, but the canned goods we produce are all up to standard. The ingredients might not be the best, but they are at least compliant. They are completely different from the canned goods on the internet made with trash meat and rotten fruit. If it really comes to it, can't we just properly renovate the factory's environment?"

A middle-aged man with short hair said with an unwilling expression.

As the manager of the production department, he had worked here since the factory was built, working his way up step by step from a regular employee to a manager. Now that the factory couldn't keep running, he was naturally quite reluctant to let it go.

"There's no other way. With our capabilities, we have no way to resolve the public opinion on the internet. So, even if we improve the factory's environment, under the influence of that public opinion, no one will buy our brand of canned goods anymore."

Meng Xiuhong shook her head helplessly. If she still had funds on hand, she could hold on for a while, but the funds she had were not sufficient, and there was simply no way to support the factory's continued operation.

Now, dissolving the factory and distributing some severance pay to those workers was already the best solution.

As Meng Xiuhong's voice fell, sighs of helplessness echoed in the office.

"Damn it, that bastard Li Kun, he didn't care about the factory's survival and ran off with the money himself."

"Keep it down, Sister Hong is still here!"

"Why should I keep it down? I mentioned it long ago that the factory's environment was a bit dilapidated and could be improved, but that bastard was worried about spending money and rejected it directly. Otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

…

In the office, several management members were discussing in low voices.

Meng Xiuhong looked at the few management members whispering. Although they had lowered their voices, some of the things they were discussing still reached her ears.

However, she didn't feel any displeasure about this.

She also hated Li Kun. This Zhenhao Cannery was co-founded by her and Li Kun, and now, just because the Zhenhao Cannery encountered a small problem, Li Kun had actually directly taken the money and run away. Of course, what made her painful was that her younger sister had also run away with Li Kun.

Betrayed by the two people closest to her at the same time, she lived in pain every day. She didn't know what she had done wrong, why things had developed to this point.

She let out a long breath and looked at everyone in the office.

"Um… let's just…"

She was just about to settle today's matter like this when her phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone in confusion, looked at the unfamiliar number, hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Hello!"

Soon, a female voice came from the phone.

After a while, Meng Xiuhong slowly put down the phone, her eyes full of disbelief, and she looked at the managers still discussing in the conference room and spoke slowly.

"Perhaps things haven't reached the worst point yet. I just received a call, and they expressed some interest in our Canned Food Factory and are preparing to come over for an inspection tomorrow."

"Sister Hong, is this true?"

The factory director looked up at Meng Xiuhong, full of surprise.

"It's true. The time has been set, but the person on the other side said they are just coming to visit and haven't fully confirmed it yet. So, tomorrow we must work hard and strive to make the other party satisfied."

"Also, let's call back the employees who are resting at home. Since they are coming to visit, they will definitely want to see our production process. So, to ensure our Canned Food Factory is taken over, we must show the best side of our Canned Food Factory."

Meng Xiuhong said seriously. This visit was their best chance.

Otherwise, the Canned Food Factory would really have to announce bankruptcy, all employees would be dismissed, and they would have to find their own way out.

"We understand, Sister Hong. We will definitely make proper arrangements when we go back and show the best side of the Canned Food Factory."

Hearing this, many management members in the office all showed excited expressions.

If the Canned Food Factory could be preserved, they would likely retain their original positions. If the Canned Food Factory went bankrupt, they might not necessarily be able to become management when they went to other places.

After all, some of them were not management talents; being able to become management at the Canned Food Factory was entirely due to working here for a long time.

"Um, then go and handle it."

Meng Xiuhong nodded.

The other management personnel also got up one after another and quickly walked outside. They had to hurry up and arrange the reception for tomorrow.

…

The next day, at the entrance of Zhenhao Cannery.

A black G-Wagon slowly stopped.

"President Chen, this is the place."

Shen Rou quickly got out of the car and opened the door, looking at President Chen in the car and speaking slowly.

"Hmm!"

Chen Mo nodded, got out of the car, and looked at the surrounding environment. This Canned Food Factory was also located in the suburbs. If calculated by distance, it was actually only a few kilometers away from the Changfeng Garment Factory.

However, this Canned Food Factory was not in the Industrial Park, but in its own factory area.

His gaze fell on the plaque above the Canned Food Factory; it was already quite old and looked like it had been there for some years.

Hmm!

After taking over this Canned Food Factory, this plaque must be replaced; it was too old and too small.

It must be made as big as the Garment factory's.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo suddenly felt some emotion. He remembered that when he took over the Garment factory, his first thought was to replace the plaque.

Now, a year and a half had passed, and he had already added many industries.

Some industries had already started to make a profit. He calculated slightly yesterday that after such a long time, the place that lost the most money was still the Changfeng Garment Factory.

Although pet clothing was currently making some profit, renting the entire Industrial Park and rebuilding the Garment factory had all cost a huge amount of funds.

And relying on pet clothing to earn back the funds consumed was no different from a daydream.

Moreover, when the expansion of the Garment factory was completed, the Garment factory would definitely need to expand its scale and continue to recruit new employees. Calculated this way, the subsequent monthly daily expenses of the Garment factory, as well as employee salaries and benefits, would also be a very large expense.

Not bad!

After taking over the Canned Food Factory here, just follow the development model of the Garment factory. In this way, it would definitely be able to ensure that the Canned Food Factory continued to lose money.

The corners of Chen Mo's mouth curved slightly, as if he had already seen the appearance of an industry similar to the second Garment factory.

Sure enough, if one wanted to lose money, this kind of physical industry was more reliable.

And just as he was thinking, the gate of the Canned Food Factory in front suddenly opened, and a group of people quickly walked out from inside. The person walking at the very front was a middle-aged woman.

"Welcome, President Chen, to the Canned Food Factory."

Meng Xiuhong took the lead and walked to the very front. Looking at the young man in front of her, she spoke respectfully.

She was slightly surprised in her heart; she did not expect that the boss who came today would be so young.
