Our Rise Era

Chapter 21 In Fire!

11 month 19 day.

The first rays of light in the morning shone on the land, creating ripples.

【Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.】

Rumors about Zhou Bingkun spread...

Some said that Zhou Bingkun embezzled 30 yuan from the company, some said that Zhou Bingkun leaked company secrets, and some said that Zhou Bingkun was bribed...

But the rumors did not last long and were covered up by the factory's new employee benefits.

In the morning, Zheng Guodong of Zheng's Food Co., Ltd. personally chatted with each workshop manager and asked for copies of their ID cards one by one.

[Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.] Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd. paid the social security for all employees who had been employed for more than three months.

In 07, not many factories that started out as family workshops helped people pay for social security...

In addition to social security, Zheng's Food Co., Ltd. has also launched a reward system.

If an employee has completed thirty days of attendance, he/she will receive an attendance bonus of 200 yuan in addition to his/her current salary. In addition, as long as the employee complies with the newly issued [Work Clothes Wearing Rules], he/she will receive an additional bonus of 100 yuan per month...

Local factories, except for listed companies, have always been managed in a crude and home-based workshop style. Employees are basically paid on a piece-rate basis, and apart from apples during festivals, there are no other benefits at all.

The sudden emergence of the reward system made many employees unbelievable...

The sun rises from the west?
..........................................

The morning of November 11.

Early in the morning, there were bursts of rapid knocks on Zhang Gui's door.

Zhang Gui opened the door and saw the village's "Sister Jinhua" excitedly walking in with a newspaper.

"Zhang Gui, did you see that? Is this Zhang Yang? Look, is this Zhang Yang? Zhang Yang has made it big? He has become a leader?"

Zhang Gui was a little confused. He took the newspaper and took a look at it blankly, but found that the headline on the newspaper was "A fire burned Zheng's Food Co., Ltd."

Below the title, a young man wearing glasses was lighting documents one by one in front of a brazier...

Zhang Gui looked at the photo blankly, and after looking at it for a long time, he fell into a trance.

Seems to be……

Looks exactly like Zhang Yang.

But it seems not!
The new vice president of [Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.]?
What is this?

How could this guy have such ability?

Same name and last name?

Looks the same too?
"Sister Jinhua, it doesn't seem to be Zhang Yang... You know that bastard Zhang Yang, he has little education, how could he possibly lead the reform of [Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.]? How could he possibly do something as smart as this? The newspaper must have made a mistake, right?"

"..."

"Sister Jinhua" stared at the content in the newspaper for a long time, and finally shook her head: "However, I heard that [Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.] is very popular now. I heard that if you work for three months, you will get a full attendance bonus and some kind of reward subsidy, which adds up to 300 yuan. I don't know if it's true or not. Just today, at dawn, a group of people ran over there. Zhang Gui, do you want to go over there with me? I can just ride on your motorcycle..."

Facing the expectant expression of "Jinhua Jie", Zhang Gui smiled bitterly: "My toy factory still has a lot of troubles. This stock has caused a lot of harm to people... Now everyone comes to me to ask for money, but I really don't want to do that..."

"Toy factory... Hey... Don't think too much about it. It's okay. Everything will work out when the time comes..."

When "Sister Jinhua" heard this, the smile on her face disappeared immediately. After comforting her with a few words, she left the yard.

After looking at Sister Jinhua's back, Zhang Gui silently lit a cigarette with a sad look on his face.

But when he saw his wife Ding Aihua coming out, he quickly put out the cigarette.

Ding Aihua glanced at Zhang Gui. At this moment, she no longer cared whether Zhang Gui smoked or not. She was about to go out to work, but then she came back and couldn't help saying, "Tell me about you, what have you done all these years? Listen to your prodigal nephew, he opened a store and speculated in stocks. He borrowed nearly 30,000 yuan, and now it's good, I can't get it back! At the beginning of the year, I said that we couldn't have the shares of the toy factory. We just worked honestly and became managers at best. Why did you still fight for shares? Now look, hundreds of thousands of dollars are trapped again..."

"..."

"Also, what stocks? What stocks are you speculating in? Zhang Gui, you only have 20,000 left! Zhang Gui, we have no money left. We really have no money now. Our son needs a lot of money to go to college... Zhang Gui, I'm telling you this for the last time, today, tomorrow at the latest! Go to your nephew's store and bring back some valuables! If you don't dare to go, I'll go. You're already hungry, how can you be a good person!"

"..."

Zhang Gui listened to his wife's complaints.

Finally, he lowered his head and stood there silently like a log. "Don't go. He is paying me back every day. My elder brother and elder sister died early. It's not easy for him to be alone..."

"Not easy? Do you think it's easy for us? Our family is going to break up soon. Money, money, money! Where can I get the money? Give me some money!"

"..."

His wife's voice became louder and louder, at one point Zhang Gui's ears started buzzing and he almost became deaf.

After the wife finally finished arguing, the home phone not far away started ringing again.

After answering the phone, Zhang Gui's face became even uglier.

The people on the phone were all asking for their wages, saying that they had worked hard for the company for half a year, but not only did they not get a penny, but no one wanted their countless toys!
Zhang Gui comforted everyone bitterly, but deep down, he felt more and more bitter, and was filled with extreme regret.

As a new shareholder, the share is not large, at most ten percent!
But the factory director and the person in charge all ran away. Now in this huge toy factory, he is the only one who cannot escape...

Where can you run?
His ancestors for 18 generations have all lived in the county town, where can he run?

A bad year!

Bad luck!

What a bad day today!

He let out a long sigh.

But dragging things out is not a solution, we have to face them eventually.

He stood up, got on his motorcycle, and drove towards the Tianxin Toy Factory.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

When he arrived at Tianxin Toy Factory, Zhang Gui suddenly realized that the situation was worse than he had imagined!

The legal team from Japan's [Wanhe Hero Group] arrived, very professionally bringing a large group of people, quietly walked into the factory, and specifically asked for the general manager.

The general manager was away, and finally Zhang Gui was found, who was in a state of panic.

Zhang Gui didn't understand what the law was. He only heard that the other party brought a large number of documents in three languages, Chinese, Japanese and English, and a large number of products, and ordered [Tianxin Toy Factory] to pay 3 million RMB to "Masked Hero Digger"...

"Infringement?"

"What infringement?"

"I don't know, I don't know at all, I don't understand at all!"

"..."

During the repeated communication and explanation, Zhang Gui felt more and more depressed!
The series of peripheral products of "Masked Hero Diggle" produced by the toy factory in recent years, including cards, were all not authorized by the other party!

It's a completely illegal operation!
It was fine before, but now...

The fucking person has come to my door!
The terrible thing is!

The toy factory owner ran away, and Zhang Gui is the only shareholder!
Now, all these Japanese personnel have caught him. After all, he has been directly involved in and produced these things over the years...

three million!
Twenty percent shares and responsibility!
Oh shit!

Need to pay 60?
The moment I saw the legal provisions...

He realized that he might be finished!
....................................

evening.

Amidst countless voices, he escaped from the toy factory and hid back home.

Just when he took a breath...

There was a knock at the door.

He was instinctively startled.

But then...

"Second uncle, are you there?"
