planning

"Since that's the case, then it makes sense!"

The director of the Canned Food Factory couldn't help but laugh; since the Changfeng Garment Factory belonged to the Mingri Group, wasn't it perfectly normal for their Zhenhao Cannery to receive the same salary and benefits?

"Alright, the employees in the workshop are currently in a state of unease. Let's inform them of the current situation to put their minds at ease."

Meng Xiuhong also smiled. With the Canned Food Factory having been taken over, those employees had kept their jobs, and that took a huge weight off her shoulders.

However, she couldn't let her guard down. After all, even with the Canned Food Factory receiving sufficient financial support, the issue of its reputation remained. If that reputation issue couldn't be resolved, the Canned Food Factory wouldn't last long.

After all, if the reputation issue wasn't solved, it would be very difficult for the Canned Food Factory to turn a profit.

And she didn't think President Chen would keep investing in a factory that couldn't make a profit.

However, the most urgent task now was to handle the paperwork first, and then prepare the budget report.

Thinking this, Meng Xiuhong hurried back to her office.

She was seizing every moment now, and being busy also helped her forget the pain in her heart.

During this time, because of the incident with her husband and younger sister, she seemed unchanged in the eyes of outsiders, but only she knew how painful it was to be betrayed by two close people at the same time.

And the only way to alleviate some of that pain was to keep herself busy and not think about those things.

…

Two days later,

Mingri Group,

President's Office.

"President Chen, this is the budget report I prepared. Please take a look."

Meng Xiuhong carefully pushed the budget report toward Chen Mo, sneaking a glance at the office layout, and admiring it inwardly.

As expected of the Group's president; one look at the office décor showed it must have cost a fortune.

Chen Mo looked surprised; he hadn't expected the other party to have the budget ready in just two days.

He curiously took the budget report and opened it to read.

Not long after, he placed the budget report on the desk, feeling very fortunate in his heart that he had specifically asked to see the budget report.

The budget report Meng Xiuhong had prepared was much lower than he had anticipated.

"Hmm, this budget report needs some adjustments."

"President Chen, is there a problem?"

Meng Xiuhong looked nervous.

"There isn't much of a problem overall; it's just some details that need adjusting."

"First, the selection of appliances. Although the appliances you selected are considered branded, they are far from being top-tier brands, so these need to be adjusted and replaced entirely with big-name brands."

"The same goes for the company vehicles. A good company vehicle can ensure the employees' safety, so when choosing company vehicles, we need to buy better ones."

"And the workshop renovation—the floor paint is very important. If it's not good, it will emit strong fumes that could affect the employees' health."

"And those machines—my requirement is to replace them all with automated ones. What's the meaning of you leaving a few of the old machines?"

"…"

Chen Mo looked at Meng Xiuhong and pushed the budget report back.

"Adjust this budget again."

"Very well, President Chen."

Meng Xiuhong took the report back, unable to stop herself from marveling.

When she was preparing this budget, she had been somewhat worried that if she made it too high, President Chen wouldn't be satisfied. But now it seemed she had completely overthought it.

"By the way, President Chen, if the workshop is renovated, we will encounter a problem: the workers won't be able to work. How should we arrange that, and how will their salaries be calculated?"

"For the workshop renovation, naturally, all employees will be given time off. As for the salary, that's even easier—the time off is our decision, and the employees are being forced to take it, so their salaries will be paid as usual."

"However, at the rented building, there are a lot of appliances and furniture that need to be arranged, which will certainly require manpower. During the time off, they can go there to help out. Anyone who goes to help will receive double pay. This isn't mandatory; it's voluntary."

Chen Mo spoke quickly; he certainly wouldn't miss out on an opportunity to spend money like this.

"I understand, President Chen!"

Meng Xiuhong nodded. At this moment, she once again experienced President Chen's care for his subordinates.

She had previously heard rumors about the Changfeng Garment Factory, saying that during work hours, even helping the boss move a chair would result in extra monetary rewards.

At the time, she hadn't believed it at all, thinking it was an exaggeration.

But now, hearing President Chen's recent arrangements, she finally believed it.

Renting a building as employee dormitories, moving appliances and furniture inside, cleaning and organizing the place—even if they didn't pay the employees for these tasks, the employees wouldn't say anything, after all, those were the houses they were about to live in.

"Hmm, is there anything else?"

Seeing that everything was more or less arranged, Chen Mo looked up at Meng Xiuhong.

"Yes, President Chen. There are still some matters: the future development of the Canned Food Factory, and the current issue of the reputation of our Zhenhao Canned Goods."

Meng Xiuhong's gaze became serious. Preparing the budget only involved spending money, but the next matter involved making money.

"What do you plan to do?"

Chen Mo tapped his fingers on the desk, looking at Meng Xiuhong with equal seriousness.

The future development of the Canned Food Factory—this had to be taken seriously!

Hearing President Chen's inquiry, Meng Xiuhong slightly adjusted her sitting posture.

"I believe the biggest problem our Canned Food Factory is currently facing is the reputation issue. If we don't solve this, our Canned Food Factory will have a huge problem."

"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and the solution is that after the Canned Food Factory is renovated, we should launch a new promotional campaign. We can post the environment of the renovated Canned Food Factory online so that netizens know what we have done."

"There is also the issue of pricing. Currently, our Zhenhao Canned Goods has already been affected by its reputation. Even if we do publicity and improve our factory's environment, we still need to do something to attract customers."

"I think after solving the reputation issue, we could implement some promotional discount policies for the canned goods, making Zhenhao Canned Goods even more affordable than before. Of course, these discounts shouldn't cause us to lose money; all discounts would be within our acceptable range."

"…"

Meng Xiuhong explained patiently, detailing the future plans and development of the Canned Food Factory. It was clear that she had made ample preparations before coming.

Chen Mo listened to Meng Xiuhong's words, shocked.

Solving the Canned Food Factory's reputation problem!

How could that be allowed?
