Chapter 150 Factory Strike
"Oh! That won't do. I'm just keeping an eye on things for you."
Cheng Ning was startled when she heard that Lu Ran wanted to transfer the company directly to her name.
Lu Ran shrugged: "There's nothing you can do now, even if you don't want to. I've already arranged the procedures. All you need to do is sign it, and that'll be it."
Cheng Ning bit her lip: "I...I won't sign."
"Hey you···"
Lu Ran was about to use the King's Finger to threaten his girlfriend, but with his future mother-in-law nearby, he quickly withdrew it.
He said in a gentle voice, "Just consider it doing me a favor!"
"No," Cheng Ning said stubbornly, hiding behind her mother.
Normally, Cheng Ning is very obedient in front of Lu Ran.
However, sometimes, once Cheng Ning makes a decision, just as Lu Ran had previously commented, she may seem obedient and honest, but she is actually very stubborn.
With her mother by her side now, Cheng Ning felt even more confident.
Lu Ran didn't dare to speak too loudly, let alone make any threats.
In the end, they had no choice but to keep the signing out of the picture and wait until the aunt was not around before slowly coercing and bribing her.
"Fine, if you don't want to, then forget it."
What you just mentioned is indeed feasible.
"The factory will eventually expand in scale, and the source of the food for the factory canteen is not fixed. If we can cooperate with your village in the long term, it would indeed be a win-win solution."
After the young couple finished arguing, Wu Meimei asked, "What do you mean by 'factory'? Xiao Lu, do you own a factory?"
Lu Ran nodded.
"Last year I acquired an electronics factory, which is considered one of the larger ones in Chengjiang. Now Cheng Ning is managing it for me."
Wu Meimei was surprised to see her daughter's abilities and looked at her in astonishment.
Cheng Ning was a little embarrassed: "I... I don't really know much about it either. I'm just learning while working."
"Oh, by the way, I also own a pet food processing plant, which has quite a few employees."
"Plus my new investment in the welfare amusement park, and the possibility of building a welfare nursing home later, even if you take all that into account, the little bit of stuff you have might not be enough, Auntie."
Wu Meimei became increasingly alarmed as she listened.
"Xiao Lu, aren't you in the finance and stock industry?"
"Yes, but as you said, Auntie, people can't just know how to spend money; they have to learn how to use their funds to protect themselves."
Upon hearing this, Wu Meimei immediately understood.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded admiringly and said, "Xiao Lu, you are remarkable."
night.
After dinner, Cheng Ning and her daughter Wu Meimei discussed their collaboration in the living room.
The scene was somewhat comical.
Cheng Ning's serious demeanor as she negotiated the price with her mother resembled a whitish, leaky little cotton-padded jacket.
To avoid laughing out loud, Lu Ran had to make an excuse to go to the study.
···
the next day.
Wu Meimei, who originally planned to stay for a day and then go back, did not rush to leave in order to cooperate with the project.
Instead, they chose to visit the factory with Chairman Cheng for an on-site inspection.
Lu Ran acted as the driver, taking the two bosses to the factory.
He thought he had nothing to do today, but not long after he arrived at the factory, Liu Nini and the factory's vice president anxiously found him.
"President Cheng, President Lu."
Lu Ran frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Nini said, "I was just about to contact you, Mr. Lu. The factory workers suddenly went on strike this morning and are now blocking the entrance to Workshop 1."
"What's the reason?" Lu Ran asked the vice president.
Since Liu Nini is just an assistant, at most she helps Cheng Ning with her work, so if something goes wrong, the real person in charge should be found.
Vice President Qi Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It might be related to the wage adjustment that the factory just implemented."
"Several directors and I have already agreed to temporarily postpone the salary change plan, but we still can't appease these people. President Cheng, President Lu, please think of a solution."
Even standing here, Lu Ran could hear the noise coming from the other side of the building.
"Maybe, maybe it's my fault."
At this moment, Cheng Ning said with great remorse.
"Previously, the factory had an incentive program where all employees' wages would be 10% to 20% higher than normal during the program period."
"Before the Chinese New Year, I discussed with General Manager Qi about temporarily adjusting the incentive plan, or making some slight changes, such as removing it from the overall scope and allocating it to each factory area based on production capacity."
"This plan was forced upon us by the former chairman in order to secure the last order number. If we don't reform, it will not only increase the company's burden, but also make employees passive and lazy, and there will be no competition."
"Since we all get the same pay, this means that if I do just a little more than you, I'll be left to slack off today."
"This is the biggest problem I've identified while organizing factory data over the past few months."
"I never thought this would happen."
Lu Ran laughed and said, "You did a great job. If I were in charge, I might not have been able to discover these problems in the factory."
Qi Ji nodded at this point: "President Cheng is indeed the most talented leader I have ever met. At first, I only vaguely felt that there were problems with these issues, but I never understood the specific reasons."
"It wasn't until Mr. Cheng told me that I suddenly realized what was going on."
"There's nothing wrong with the method; I just don't know why it caused such a big fluctuation."
Liu Nini nodded in agreement: "President Lu, although saying this might offend you, I still want to say that President Cheng is better at managing the company than you are."
These are Liu Nini's honest thoughts, not deliberate flattery.
Previously, Liu Nini thought that after Cheng Ning took over, she would do the same as Lu Ran and give the factory employees a big welcome gift, such as a raise or bonus.
Cheng Ning's gentle and kind nature makes it extremely easy for people to think in this direction.
What Liu Nini didn't expect was that after Cheng Ning took over as acting chairman, her way of handling things was completely the opposite of her appearance.
Swift and decisive.
By prioritizing the company's interests, we can accurately analyze the root causes of many problems and make effective decisions.
Unlike Lu Ran, who is a nice guy who treats everyone well and even raises salaries frequently, this is completely different.
Lu Ran is someone that working-class people like her would naturally like.
But Liu Nini understands that people are selfish and complex, and there are many things you can't ask for, such as a raise.
If you raise prices, they'll thank you a few times at most, but if you lower them even a little, even if it's higher than the initial price, it will attract criticism and dissatisfaction.
This unrest is a prime example.
The incentive plan was merely an emergency measure used by the former boss to expedite the completion of the last batch of products while he was in power, but these people took it for granted as a reward they were entitled to and could receive in the long term.
The moment they heard about reforms, they complained bitterly and even went on strike.
Therefore, when it comes to managing a company, Liu Nini felt that Cheng Ning was indeed much better than Lu Ran.
"Did you hear that? They're all praising you."
"Now that you're in charge, do you have any good ideas on how to solve the current problem?"
Lu Ran looked at Cheng Ning and said admiringly.
This was the first time Cheng Ning had received such affirmation from so many people. Gradually, she stopped feeling apprehensive and gained confidence and self-assurance.
He said, "Let's go check it out on site first!"
