Meng Xiuhong

"Hmm, so you are the person in charge of the Canned Food Factory, Meng Xiuhong?"

Chen Mo also looked at the woman in front of him.

On the way over, Shen Rou had already introduced the current basic situation of the Canned Food Factory.

"Yes. Please come with me, President Chen, and I will take you to tour our Canned Food Factory."

Meng Xiuhong said respectfully, then turned and walked into the Canned Food Factory.

Seeing this, Chen Mo took Shen Rou and followed.

They soon entered the courtyard of the Canned Food Factory. Chen Mo looked left and right, and soon noticed a three-story building on the right, with the words "Dormitory" written on the dilapidated doorway.

Hmm! A dormitory, huh! This is a place where a lot of money can be spent.

"President Chen, the factory is in front; that over there is the employee dormitory."

Seeing Chen Mo stop, Meng Xiuhong hurriedly introduced it.

"I know. Let's tour the employee dormitory first."

Chen Mo stared at the employee dormitory in the distance, already starting to brew his plan to spend money.

"This…" Meng Xiuhong was stunned. She hadn't expected this President Chen to actually want to tour the employee dormitory. This was absolutely not in their planned itinerary!

She knew what the employee dormitory looked like. She turned to look at the factory director, who shook his head slightly. She understood that the other party hadn't made any arrangements for the dormitory.

After thinking for a moment, she said slowly, "President Chen, the employee dormitory is a collective dormitory. It is a bit messy inside, and basically only men live there. There will be some odors, and I'm worried it might affect your sense of smell."

"It's fine. If I am to take over the Canned Food Factory, as the new owner, I naturally need to thoroughly understand the employees' working and living environment."

Chen Mo waved his hand dismissively. He didn't care what the working environment was like; in any case, it would definitely have to be changed after he took over.

But before that, he still needed to understand it first. According to the current plan, he could improve it a bit first, then find an opportunity to tear down and rebuild the Canned Food Factory directly.

However, according to the system's regulations, the Canned Food Factory cannot stop production for too long, so the method of tearing down and rebuilding must follow the strategy used for the Garment factory. But there's no rush for that; for now, the priority is to take over the Canned Food Factory.

Then, based on the current situation of the Canned Food Factory, make some changes to spend money. "For example: the environment of the damned employee dormitory, employee meals, working environment, production equipment… and so on!"

Seeing that President Chen insisted on touring the employee dormitory, Meng Xiuhong felt a chill in her heart. If this President Chen saw the poor environment of the employee dormitory, he might not want to take over their Canned Food Factory anymore.

But since President Chen had already requested it, if she didn't take him to tour it, there would definitely be no chance of further discussion. Feeling helpless, she had no choice but to lead the way to the employee dormitory.

"President Chen, please follow me!" Chen Mo and Shen Rou followed behind. They soon entered the employee dormitory. As soon as they entered, they felt their vision dim. The lights in the dormitory corridor were very weak; out of five lights, only one was on.

Looking at the lights in the corridor, Chen Mo turned to look at Shen Rou beside him. "The corridor lights are too dim. Make a note of that." "Yes, President Chen!" Shen Rou nodded quickly and then recorded what President Chen had just said.

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiuhong and the few Canned Food Factory management staff beside her couldn't help but become even more anxious.

They continued walking into the dormitory and casually opened one of the doors. Soon, a faint smell of sour sweat rushed into their nostrils.

Smelling this odor, Meng Xiuhong frowned slightly and turned to observe President Chen's expression. Finding that President Chen didn't seem too disgusted, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Chen Mo ignored the reactions of Meng Xiuhong and the others. He carefully examined the employee dormitory inside. It was about ten square meters or so, with five bunk beds placed inside. Every bed was covered with messy quilts, some of which had even turned black.

In front of the dormitory window, a clothesline had been strung up, already covered with clothes, underpants, socks… The whole dormitory gave him the feeling of being crowded and messy…

"Make a note of the environment here." He said this to Shen Rou beside him, then turned and walked towards other dormitories.

After a round, the layout of each dormitory was basically the same. The only difference was the cleanliness of the dormitory. Some dormitories were relatively cleaner and tidied up quite well, but in a space of just over 10 meters, 10 people were living there, so no matter how much it was cleaned, it couldn't be very tidy.

Of course, the unhygienic dormitories were also quite excessive; trash was piled up behind the doors, yet it hadn't been cleaned up.

Leaving the employee dormitory, President Chen stood outside and took a deep breath of fresh air. He had to say, the smell inside the dormitory was indeed quite unpleasant!

"President Chen, shall we go tour the workshop?" Outside the dormitory, Meng Xiuhong looked at President Chen and asked tentatively.

"Hmm!" Chen Mo nodded upon hearing this. He had already understood the accommodation environment, so now he would understand the working environment.

Soon, the group entered the workshop.

"President Chen, this is our workshop. The reports on the internet are actually too one-sided, saying our working environment is poor. It's just that the walls around the workshop have turned a bit black, but this won't affect the quality of the canned food. It's just because the factory was built a long time ago and has been neglected in management, which is why it turned out like this."

"Moreover, our production processes are strictly followed. Although the materials used aren't the best, they are all qualified products, so President Chen doesn't need to worry about the quality of the canned food we produce."

After entering the workshop, Meng Xiuhong pointed to the blackened walls in the distance. Chen Mo looked at the blackened walls in the distance but didn't say anything. He didn't care about the blackened walls, nor did he care about the quality of the canned food produced.

What he valued most was that the Canned Food Factory currently had a bad reputation. Only with a bad reputation could he fail to sell the canned food and lose money.

Moreover, if he were to build a factory himself according to the rules stipulated by the system, it would be impossible to create a workshop with a poor environment or products that didn't meet quality standards. Therefore, if he built a factory himself, it would still be very difficult to get a bad reputation.

But right now, this Canned Food Factory perfectly met his requirements. Looking at the Canned Food Factory's working environment, and seeing some traces on the machinery, it was clearly newly cleaned. They must have known he was coming for an inspection and done a major cleanup.

Many workers were busy in front of their machines, occasionally turning their heads to look at him, their eyes filled with curiosity. Chen Mo ignored them and continued to walk around the workshop.

"The workshop lighting is also too dim, there is no air conditioning, the floor is not smooth, the machines are a bit old, and the working environment is too poor…" Shen Rou followed beside President Chen, recording quickly.

Meng Xiuhong and the others followed behind, their expressions full of anxiety. Not long after, the workshop tour was finished.

Meng Xiuhong came to Chen Mo's side and said cautiously, "President Chen, I wonder what your impression of our Canned Food Factory is, and whether you are willing to take it over?"

As Meng Xiuhong asked this, the few management staff of the Canned Food Factory all showed nervous expressions. Just now, President Chen had pointed out many shortcomings of the workshop in the workshop, which made them very worried.
