Chapter 139: Doing a T, Again Targeted

The report of Red Star Food Processing Plant's application for industrial land entered the approval stage; Chen Yang assigned this part of the work to Song Yajun to be responsible for, and additionally arranged legal and finance personnel from the plant to cooperate with Song Yajun's work.

As for He Yifei, Qin Qin, and Qian Duo Duo, Chen Yang again let them return to Xingcheng. After all, there is also plenty of work there in Xingcheng; letting them stay an extra day means Shen Anna will have to nag an extra day.

As for Zhong Hanshan's team, they are still researching the sausage ingredients in the Agricultural University laboratory. Only when the product enters the trial production stage will they come to Clear Water.

To prepare in advance, Chen Yang had Song Yajun post a notice in the factory area publicity board. Notifying all standby employees in the factory to undergo food safety and health occupational training, automated equipment operation and maintenance training, production process training, quality control training, safe production training, teamwork and communication training, labor laws and corporate system training.

To make the factory workers' attitudes more proactive, Chen Yang also explicitly noted at the bottom of the notice: only employees with outstanding training scores will be given priority for posting. The wages of those given priority for posting will increase by fifty percent. The wages of standby employees will decrease by fifty percent.

After the notice came out, a crowd of people ran to Chen Yang's office to complain. Because everyone knew in advance that only one-fifth of the people could be posted during the trial production stage. Those who got posted had their wages increased by fifty percent. But the remaining four-fifths had their wages reduced by fifty percent.

Boss, this is totally unfair! It's not that we don't want to take a post; it's just that the factory only has so many positions. Why should standby workers have their wages cut in half?

Exactly, after finally getting a new leader, we thought life would get better. Who would have thought it would be worse than before!

Anyway, I won't accept a pay cut. If you dare to stop my wages, I'll go report you to the municipal government!

Facing everyone's dissatisfaction, Chen Yang calmly said: 'First, before I came, you hadn't received wages for half a year. Now not only have we made up your wages, but we also allow you to standby with a fifty percent wage reduction—this is already the best benefit the factory can offer. Go ask around: which factory pays wages to people who don't work?'

Second, the factory gives everyone equal opportunities, with no back doors for anyone. If you cannot compete with others after training and fail to obtain priority posting qualification, you can only blame your own lack of ability.

Finally, the shortage of positions in the company is only temporary. As long as the trial production yields good results, we can quickly add production lines. As long as you study diligently during training, you also have a chance to obtain qualification for the second and third batches of postings. Then you can also earn an additional fifty percent wages.

Someone asked Chen Yang: 'Boss, what if the trial production yields poor results?'

Chen Yang laughed and said: 'If the results are poor, we can only improve product quality. If improvement still doesn't work, then we can only go bankrupt. By then, you won't even get the fifty percent wages.'

The crowd fell silent at once. If Red Star Food Processing Plant goes bankrupt again, they will truly be laid off.

Seeing they were silent, Chen Yang turned to Song Yajun beside him and said: 'Factory Manager Song, the supervision of the training is now entrusted to you. If they fail the assessment and affect the factory's production schedule, I will first hold you, the factory manager, responsible.'

Song Yajun immediately promised: 'Boss, rest assured, I will definitely supervise seriously and guarantee that everyone meets the standard.'

Chen Yang waved his hand and said to the protesters: 'All right, disperse! Instead of complaining here, you'd better put more effort into training and strive to obtain posting qualification as early as possible.'

After everyone left, Chen Yang then expressed his dissatisfaction to Song Yajun: 'Factory Manager Song, from now on you should handle such matters yourself when communicating with the workers; don't always have me step in.'

'Boss, I actually explained it to them, but they wouldn't listen!' Song Yajun also felt embarrassed. The factory has never resumed operations, and as the new factory manager, his words don't carry much weight.

'Then I won't come over for this period; if there are matters you can't handle, call me.' Chen Yang decided to give Song Yajun some time to establish authority. If the factory enters the trial production stage and he still cannot control the overall situation, then it's time to consider replacing him.

After returning home, Chen Yang glanced at the stock market. Xinfei Technology, after consecutive plunges, has seen its stock price drop to fifteen yuan six jiao eight. Xingcheng Heavy Industry has been fluctuating steadily these past days, hovering between seventeen and eighteen yuan five jiao. The funds that previously flowed in have largely run out after a few days of washout. Meanwhile, Yuncheng Bio, due to declining attention, has its stock price hovering around eighteen yuan.

Chen Yang operated for a while, using the Dongjiang Securities account to buy 500,000 shares of Yuncheng Bio at an average price of eighteen yuan. Using the Xingcheng Heavy Industry account, he bought 500,000 shares of Xingcheng Heavy Industry at an average price of seventeen yuan five jiao. As for Xinfei Technology, considering that Wang Yichen is still stuck in it, he temporarily does not plan to join the frenzy.

However, just after Chen Yang finished trading, Zhuo Wenyuan called him.

'President Chen, does Yuncheng Bio have any positive news?'

'No, I see this stock fluctuating steadily; I'm just doing a T for fun.'

'Really? Then I got it; when you have time, come over to hang out with the gang.'

'Sure. After I finish the work here in Clear Water, I'll definitely come over.'

After Chen Yang hung up the phone, he felt Zhuo Wenyuan's call came a bit sudden. He quickly checked the dynamics of Yuncheng Bio and found that the trading column suddenly showed a large number of buy orders, and the stock price shot up straight away. From the opening price of seventeen yuan eight jiao, it directly hit the limit up to nineteen yuan five jiao eight fen.

Chen Yang couldn't help but marvel at the strength of capital; a casual move can lift a stock.

However, Zhuo Wenyuan's move made Chen Yang lose the desire to continue doing a T on Yuncheng Bio, because it would surely attract those big capitals to cause trouble.

Zhuo Wenyuan and his group actually count as big capital as well, but Chen Yang has no interest in getting involved. He prefers stability, whereas Zhuo Wenyuan and his ilk are adventurers; once they pick a stock, they charge forward without regard to cost.

Such a charge is a double-edged sword; when things go smoothly, they advance unstoppably. But once they encounter a stronger opponent, they will be defeated utterly.

Chen Yang's stock trading stance differs from Zhuo Wenyuan's; he only wants to make money quietly. Zhuo Wenyuan needs to boost performance; only by pulling Yexin's capital to constantly charge forward can his performance improve. Moreover, regardless of the outcome of the charge, Zhuo Wenyuan remains invincible. If he wins, he gets dividends from Yexin and them, and commission rebates from the securities company; if he loses, the company can still earn commissions and dividends.

Chen Yang does not resent Zhuo Wenyuan's behavior, after all that's his job. He just doesn't want to be used as a pawn.
