Film and Television World Life Record

Li Mu thought for a while before he remembered what had happened today!

Before entering the world of film and television, this morning, he drove his newly bought Audi A8 to help Su Man swat away flies.

The other person was Su Man's boss. After being dismissed by Li Mu, the two went to dinner together. During the meal, Li Mu learned that Su Man had been unhappy at work recently and had even invited her to join the company.

Chapter 271 Finalized

After further consideration, after acquiring the large mask production factory, Li Mu registered another wholly-owned subsidiary, "Mingde Medical Equipment Company," under Muwu Culture, and also incorporated the mask production factory into this subsidiary.

Recently, due to the scarcity of mask orders, he is looking for a suitable president for Mingde Medical Enterprise Company to be in charge of the production and sales of Mingde medical devices.

However, as a newly established company, the mask production factory still owes the bank 50 million yuan in loans, and cannot afford to fail.

In addition, Li Mu doesn't have much time to pay attention to the company. As the president of Mingde Medical Devices, he is usually the person in charge of the company and has a great deal of authority.

Simply headhunting a complete stranger—someone you don't know, someone with no constraints—and handing over the company to them doesn't inspire complete confidence. It's his own fault for not wanting to dedicate his time and energy to this; he doesn't have much time to focus on such matters.

Therefore, the safest approach is to find someone you know well to help manage it.

Most importantly, this person must have this ability.

In reality, Li Mu's rise to prominence was short-lived, and he was also a bit of a slacker, often staying at home alone, so his social circle wasn't very large.

Of all the acquaintances he knew, the only one who was capable of helping him manage Mingde Medical Equipment Company and whom he understood well was Su Man.

As Li Mu's former boss, Su Man is beautiful and talented, with good skills and a knack for handling things. Although she has never been the head of a company or been in charge of all aspects of work, she should be able to adapt quickly with a little training.

This was also the result of Li Mu's careful consideration.

This morning, during lunch, Li Mu casually mentioned extending an invitation and sending over the company's information. Su Man said she would consider it.

The fact that they're calling now means there must be some results.

After saying all that, these thoughts only flashed through Li Mu's mind.

The next moment, Li Mu picked up his phone and answered the call.

"Hey, Sister Man, what's your decision?"

Su Man smiled gently: "As long as you're not lying, and you really are giving me the CEO position, why would I refuse?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "So, Sister Man, you've agreed."

"Let me make this clear in advance: the company is not very large. Although it is named a medical device company, it currently only produces one product: 'masks'. Once you agree, you can't go back on your word."

Su Man said, "Why regret it? No matter what, this is still a company with assets of hundreds of millions. Even if it owes a lot of loans to the bank, even if it is only producing masks now, it is still a company with assets of hundreds of millions."

"Being able to become the president and manage such a sizable company is a dream come true for most people, so why would you refuse?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled, Sister Man. Whenever you have time, I'll take you to see it in person, and then you can see when you can start working."

Su Man said, "I can accompany you to see it in person anytime, but it will take a little longer before you officially start working here."

“You’ve worked here before, and you know the company’s rules. You need to submit a report in advance to leave; you can’t just walk away. It will take me about half a month.”

"I'll be able to go there in two weeks."

Li Mu readily agreed, "No problem. The company doesn't have much business right now, so I'll leave the position vacant."

Su Man smiled sweetly: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, after all, you're Sister Man!"

……

After hanging up with Su Man, Li Mu checked the time and it was just past nine o'clock in the evening. He then dialed Lao Ding's number.

Old Ding was the deputy factory manager before the factory was acquired; he was quite capable and experienced. After the acquisition, following Li Mu's evaluation, he became the factory's head, primarily responsible for production.

As for Su Man, as the president of Mingde Medical Devices, she doesn't need to spend much energy on the factory; her main focus is on channel development and sales.

In the future, if the company is strong enough and the conditions are right, it may expand the scale of Mingde Medical Devices and produce other medical devices in addition to masks.

However, this is just a concept at present and cannot be realized in the short term.

"Hey, Lao Ding."

"Chairman."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You're not asleep, are you?"

Old Ding said, "Not yet, Chairman, is there something you need?"

Li Mu said, "I plan to start using all production lines from tomorrow and go all out to produce."

Old Ding exclaimed, "Ah! Chairman Li, our factory's sales are terrible right now! What if we go all out to produce but can't sell it and end up with a backlog of unsold stock?"

Li Mu said, "You don't need to worry about this. Someone else will take care of it. The new president of Mingde Medical Devices will be taking office soon."

"You only need to focus on one thing now: how to quickly expand production capacity and go all out to produce."

After a moment of silence, Lao Ding said, "Chairman Li, if we expand production capacity and start all production lines, we won't have enough manpower right now. We'll need to recruit on a large scale."

Li Mu said, "It's alright, then let's hire. Our wages are lower than those in the coastal areas, but we have abundant human resources, so it's easy to recruit people."

"How many do you think we need to recruit?"

Old Ding thought for a moment and said, "Chairman Li, the factory currently has more than 300 workers. If we start all production lines, we will probably need to recruit another 500 people."

"However, this only applies to the day shift, not the night shift. If full production is required, we can divide it into two shifts, day and night, so the production line can run 24 hours a day."

"But this will create an even greater shortage of workers, requiring us to hire more than 800 people for the night shift."

Li Mu said with some shock, "If both the day and night shifts are fully staffed and production is at full capacity, the total number of factory employees will exceed 1,600."

Old Ding said, "That's right. If we want to go all out in production, we need to fill both the day and night shifts. We'll need at least 1,600 people."

"Chairman Li, how many should we hire?"

Li Mu said, "Just as we said before, go all out to produce, and fill all the day and night shifts."

"I'll go to the factory tomorrow and call up the management team. We'll have a detailed meeting to discuss this further and try to start recruiting in the next couple of days."

Old Ding said, "Okay, Chairman Li, I'll arrange it right away."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.

……

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu tossed his phone aside, lay on the bed to relax for a while, thinking that the real world would be easier, but he didn't expect the business to grow bigger and bigger.

However, he had also made a plan in mind: he would leave the real-world businesses to professional managers, and he wouldn't have to spend too much time on them, just keep an eye on them from time to time.

His view of the real world hasn't changed; he wants a place to rest and relax, where he won't put any pressure on himself or create too much trouble for himself.

After thinking about all this, I felt relieved again.

I turned on the TV, found a popular drama series, grabbed some snacks and drinks, and sat on the sofa to slowly watch it.

Life is truly lonely.

Chapter 272 Empty Shell

The next day, Li Mu rushed to the factory and convened an expanded meeting with the factory's middle and senior management personnel.

The meeting clarified the goals for the coming period: large-scale recruitment and full-scale production.

Shangdu City does indeed have abundant human resources, and the industrial park where the factory is located has a dedicated office responsible for recruitment.

In just over a week, more than 1,200 people were recruited, the number of employees increased several times, and the production speed also increased several times.

Li Mu rented a large warehouse nearby specifically to store the masks he produced. He would sell them if they could be sold, and hoard them if they couldn't, since all production costs would be reimbursed by the system.

After three months, when the inventory cards expire, we can figure out how to sell the masks and make a small profit of tens of millions.

Once things were sorted out at the factory, Li Mu was too lazy to manage anything else and handed it over to Lao Ding.

As for Su Man, things have been finalized. She will be able to leave her job there in about a week and join Mingde Medical Equipment Company as its first president.

After she joined the company, she was responsible for various supervision and oversight tasks at the factory.

After spending two days at home, Li Mu suddenly had a whim and drove his Audi A8 around various high-end residential complexes in the city.

He is now considered a moderately successful business owner. Although his net worth is only tens of millions, his total assets are two or three hundred million, although most of them are built up from debt and bank loans.

As a boss with total assets of hundreds of millions and net assets of tens of millions, is it reasonable for him to still be renting a house?

Of course, this is just one reason. If you have spare cash and don't want to struggle in the real world, there's no need to be so frugal.

It's quite normal to buy a nicer house.

After spending two days exploring the city, Li Mu set his sights on a low-density, large-sized apartment in Beilonghu. Built along the lake, it boasted beautiful scenery and a refreshing atmosphere, perfectly pleasing to his eye.

Led by the saleswoman, after looking around for a while, I finally settled on a 280-square-meter flat on the twelfth floor.

The largest apartment here is over 400 square meters. Li Mu originally wanted to choose one to buy, but after looking around, he felt that such a big place would be too empty for one person.

Ultimately, they settled for a 280-square-meter apartment. It's spacious enough, but not too big, which is just right for him.

Compared to coastal areas and first-tier cities, housing prices in Shangdu are not expensive. The highest prices in the central urban area are only around 20,000 yuan per square meter, while other more peripheral districts are just over 10,000 yuan per square meter.

The developers have already completed the high-end decoration of these large apartments in Beilonghu. The style and quality are quite good, and the price is naturally not low, with an average price of around 45,000 yuan.

We selected two more parking spaces, and after the discount, the total price was approximately thirteen million.
