Chapter 1903
Textile factory employees, as long as they heard the news, no matter what they were doing, threw down their work and ran over.
There were more and more people, chaotic, all asking if the news was true and where Zhou Andong and the city leaders were.
Some said they were inspecting the workshop, and others wanted to go over and take a look, but were stopped, and then everyone stretched their necks, looking forward to it.
The factory was too big. Zhou Andong and the others went around each workshop, just taking a cursory look. Two hours passed, and it was past twelve o'clock when they came out.
"Leader, Chairman Zhou, Mr. Zhou, Ms. Zhou, it's noon, let's go out and eat something first?"
"Okay!"
Deng Deng Zhangli skipped Zhou Andong and looked at Zhou Zhou Xianyong and Zhou Wanyu with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou, Ms. Zhou, I've neglected you, don't take offense."
Zhou Wanyu said politely: "Mayor Deng, you are too polite."
Several people walked and talked. The last workshop they visited was the jacquard workshop, which was the farthest from the factory courtyard.
They walked along the internal road of the factory area toward the gate. When they were about to arrive, Zhou Yu was the first to discover the gathered crowd.
"Why are there so many people?"
Hearing his words, several people looked up and saw that the small square at the factory gate was full of people.
Chen Changchun's face turned black. He forgot to give instructions not to reveal that the leader and Zhou Andong were coming to the factory for inspection.
Who would have thought that a moment of negligence would actually attract everyone.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Now they have all heard that Zhou Andong has come and may acquire the textile factory.
If the two sides did not reach a cooperation and Zhou Andong gave up on acquiring the textile factory, the employees would be able to curse Chen's ancestral grave until it smoked in extreme disappointment.
Bai Wenyou stepped out and ran over, wanting to disperse the gathered employees.
"Ah, it's the Secretary!"
At this time, some employees also discovered them. Hearing the shouting, everyone looked up.
"Zhou Andong!" I don't know who shouted again: "He really came, he really wants to acquire our textile factory."
"That's Mayor Deng, it seems the news of Zhou Andong acquiring the textile factory is not fake."
Just as Bai Wenyou walked over and wanted to disperse the employees, someone suddenly started clapping.
At first it was sparse, but in just ten seconds, the applause sounded like a tide.
"Welcome Chairman Zhou!"
"Chairman Zhou, hello!"
"Welcome Chairman Zhou to acquire the textile factory."
"Chairman Zhou……"
The shouting was one after another, and in the end, no one could hear what was being shouted, it was a mess.
Bai Wenyou stood there, looking helpless. In this situation, nothing he said would be useful.
Deng Deng Zhangli looked at Zhou Andong and said with a smile: "Look, you are so popular, shouldn't you say something to the enthusiastic broad masses of employees?"
Looking at the smiling Deng Deng Zhangli, Zhou Andong was very suspicious that today's scene was set up by this old guy to morally kidnap him into acquiring the textile factory.
"Sigh!"
Zhou Andong sighed and walked over.
"Comrades of the textile factory, hello everyone."
There were too many people. Those in front who heard Zhou Andong's words quieted down. Those in the back who couldn't hear were still chaotic.
Bai Wenyou turned and ran to the factory department, meeting an employee from the security department halfway.
"The propaganda department has a handheld loudspeaker, go get it quickly."
"Okay!" This employee ran away.
"Stop talking, be quiet."
"Shut your mouths, Chairman Zhou is speaking."
"Shut your mouths, didn't you hear?"
"Chairman Zhou is going to speak, listen to what he says, can you be quiet?"
"……"
After two or three minutes, several thousand people finally quieted down slowly.
At this time, Bai Wenyou also brought the loudspeaker.
"Chairman Zhou, here is the loudspeaker."
Zhou Andong looked at the loudspeaker in Bai Wenyou's hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He just wanted to deal with it for two sentences, who would have thought Bai Wenyou would bring the loudspeaker.
"Hello, hello, hello!"
Zhou Andong helplessly took the loudspeaker, turned on the switch, and tested the sound.
"Comrades of the broad masses of the textile factory, hello everyone."
"Hello Chairman Zhou!"
The shouting was neat and full of momentum, which made Chen Changchun and Bai Wenyou see the spirit that had disappeared from the employees for a long time.
Zhou Andong laughed. To be honest, he still had no interest in acquiring the textile factory until now.
If it weren't for pulling Zhou Zhou Xianyong and Zhou Wanyu over, this trip wouldn't have happened today.
But now, seeing the hopeful and eager eyes looking at him, his heart softened.
Zhou Andong organized his language: "Last night, I received a call from Mayor Deng. He told me that the textile factory couldn't hold on anymore and hoped I could take over."
"To tell you the truth, I sell liquor, sell drinks, and at most can build a few buildings. I know nothing about the textile industry. Letting me take over the textile factory is irresponsible to the textile factory and irresponsible to you broad masses of employees."
"But Mayor Deng told me that the textile factory has nearly ten thousand employees, which means ten thousand families, and the textile factory is the rice bowl of ten thousand families. If the textile factory collapses and the rice bowl breaks, most employees will have to go hungry."
"After hanging up Mayor Deng's phone, the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I, Zhou Andong, grew up drinking Jiangzhou water, and you are all my elders and fellow villagers. How can I watch my uncles, brothers, and sisters go hungry?"
"I couldn't sleep all night, thinking of a solution, and then I thought, since I'm not familiar with the textile industry, I'll cooperate with entrepreneurs who are familiar with this field."
"Then I pulled in two Wanwan businessmen, and the three of us jointly invested to acquire the textile factory. Of course, whether we can acquire it depends on the final negotiation results..."
Such words moved the employees to tears. Originally, Zhou Andong was unwilling to acquire the textile factory because he didn't understand the textile industry.
But for the sake of these fellow villagers, brothers, and sisters to have rice bowls to eat and not go hungry, he could only find partners to jointly invest in the acquisition of the textile factory. But whether it can be acquired in the end depends on the results of the negotiations.
Deng Deng Zhangli gave a wry smile. This kid really takes revenge without waiting until the next day.
He saw so many employees gathered together, welcoming Zhou Andong so enthusiastically.
He just wanted Zhou Andong to say a few words to give the textile factory employees hope.
There was indeed a sense of moral kidnapping, but who would have thought that Zhou Andong would give him eye drops in the end.
If this negotiation fails and Zhou Andong gives up on acquiring the textile factory.
No matter the reason, the textile factory employees would definitely point at his spine and curse him, Deng Deng Zhangli.
And Zhou Zhou Xianyong looked at Zhou Andong with a very unkind expression. This kid is too cunning. What did you tell me yesterday?
You are the only good person, earning reputation inside and out, you really don't suffer any losses.
