Chapter 345: Look, This Is the Empire I Have Built for You!
"Then I will also tell you clearly: as soon as the meeting is over, we start work!"
"As for wages, I just took a look, and I have gained some understanding of everyone's positions and salaries."
"You have the opportunity to get a raise, but you might also see a pay cut; however, it depends on your leave records and your usual work attitude. Our factory is now a private factory, and the factory does not support idlers."
In fact, she had not adjusted the wages for the first two months; instead, she had left it as a question for others, hoping that person could give her a satisfactory answer.
Since it concerned their wages, the people below began to discuss it noisily.
An Yinan did not stop them, letting them discuss it as they pleased.
"I have a question!" a young girl raised her hand.
An Yinan signaled for her to speak, and she began, "The factory director just said that as long as we don't slack off and as long as our attitude is serious, our wages won't be cut, right?"
An Yinan smiled and gave her an appreciative look; while others were debating why wages were being cut, she had asked the key question.
She glanced at Sun Jun, who hurriedly came over in understanding and told An Yinan the person's name.
"First of all, I am very happy that someone asked this question."
"Because I know that in my factory, there are people with flexible minds."
"I can answer your question now: absolutely correct!"
"Furthermore, if the entire line exceeds the daily quota, there will also be a bonus, provided the quality is completely up to standard."
After An Yinan explained it this way, those who were unhappy just a moment ago now changed their attitudes.
"Factory Director, what if both lines exceed the quantity?" someone asked.
"It will be ranked according to quantity and quality, but there will be bonuses for both!" An Yinan replied.
Now everyone was happy, and they forgot about the job-switching they had just been discussing.
They no longer thought about the matter of pay cuts either.
After all, they weren't here to retire; they came to work to earn money.
Now that their concerns had been addressed, they actually relaxed.
An Yinan looked at everyone's expressions and knew that some things could be said now.
"However, I must state the ugly truth upfront: if anyone violates the factory's regulations, I don't care if they are a veteran employee; they certainly cannot stay in the factory!"
"I hope everyone will keep this in mind at all times, after all..." When An Yinan said this, she scanned the room, then smiled, "I don't like to joke."
There was silence below.
Subsequently, Sun Jun walked over and specifically introduced the new contract, and stated the newly listed regulations and systems.
Only then did everyone realize that this seemingly young factory director was not simple.
Everything had been thought of in advance.
After all the employees finished the meeting, Sun Jun organized everyone to receive their wages; these wages were paid out of his own money.
"Factory Director, is there anything else you would like to say?" Sun Jun said to An Yinan after distributing the back pay.
An Yinan walked forward, "Don't find me long-winded, everyone; I will only say one last sentence."
"Those who have signed the contract, start work this afternoon!"
As the words fell, cheers erupted below.
Especially the young people, who began to shout and cheer; those who didn't know better would have thought something had happened in the factory.
And those who had been hesitant just a moment ago began to grow anxious; no one cared about the regulations anymore, and everyone began to line up in an orderly fashion—signing the contract was what mattered.
Meanwhile, in the factory director's office.
"Factory Director, can we really start work this afternoon? But what are we going to make?" Sun Jun asked with some anxiety.
Yesterday, he had gone out to look for work and was chased out by people from other factories; where would there be any work now?
An Yinan smiled, not looking the least bit anxious.
"Take a look at these drawings; can you make them?" She produced the breakdown drawings for the new products.
Although this was her own factory, she did not intend to put everything into this one factory.
However, the main body would be done in the factory.
As for some other parts, she planned to place them in two factories she had always cooperated with.
Moreover, they had already cooperated several times, and there was a mutual trust in their cooperation.
Furthermore, things broken down like this needed to be stitched together at a workshop in Beijing.
Before the finished product was produced, each factory would only know a part of it.
This also reduced the risk of design drawings being stolen.
Although he didn't see what was to be made, and there were no sleeves or anything like that, it was very simple, and the factory could definitely do it.
"We can do it, but for these items, we don't need to open five lines right away, do we?" Sun Jun also had his own considerations.
In the past, their factory had accepted orders for dozens or hundreds of pieces.
Now he didn't know how much stock the factory director wanted to produce.
An Yinan took a piece of paper out of her bag; this was the quantity she had already listed while in Beijing.
"You can look at the pictures and the corresponding item numbers; the quantity is listed after them." An Yinan explained the table to Sun Jun briefly.
Sun Jun understood immediately, and when he saw the quantities at the end, his eyes widened.
"This? Thirty thousand pieces?" Sun Jun pointed at a drawing.
An Yinan nodded; these were summer clothes, and she was building up stock.
Moreover, judging from the sales of the spring clothes, she had to have sufficient stock for the summer clothes; otherwise, if she had to rush orders later, the processing fees alone would be a significant expense.
"Yes, we checked the warehouse yesterday; the fabric there is incomplete, so you need to find a Textile Factory as soon as possible."
"Also, I have contacted a batch of fabric; I will have it delivered tomorrow."
An Yinan thought of the old fabric in her space; it was just the right time to use it now.
In another five years, those fabrics won't have much use, and leaving them in the space would just be a waste.
"Alright, I'll go verify the fabrics now, then have someone make the patterns!" Seeing there was work to do, Sun Jun perked up entirely; it was clear now that he truly loved the workshop.
The office was dim, but the entire factory no longer had the desolation of yesterday.
Today it was bustling; people were signing contracts, cleaning, and oiling machines in the workshop—everyone was busy in a flurry.
Just then, An Yinan tugged at Chen Xun.
Chen Xun's gaze had never left An Yinan, "What is it?"
An Yinan whispered softly in his ear, "Look, this is the empire I've built for you!"
The gentle breath against his ear, and the faint scent of medicinal herbs on her.
As well as that secretive voice.
He could hold back!
Mm, he could hold back!
Hadn't he endured for many years together already?
But, a string just went "snap" and broke.
He immediately pinned his wife in his arms, then leaned in, finding that sweet little mouth directly.
An Yinan pushed at him, but couldn't budge him at all.
He only kissed her for a moment before pulling away.
"Nan Nan." He murmured, then kissed the top of her hair, ultimately controlling himself.
An Yinan looked at his serious expression and suddenly felt that this sense of contrast was actually quite cute?
"Factory Director, take a look at this pattern." Sun Jun ran over from a distance, bringing with him a series of footsteps.
