Chapter 560: Are you feeling sorry for us?
Chapter 560: Are you feeling sorry for us?
The next morning, Xia Ran went to the store and first met the six warehouse managers recommended by Director Liu.
They are Li Yongbing and Wang Fugui from Anhui Province, Wu Hu from Henan Province, Wang Weidong and Xu Cheng from Shandong Province, and Ma Chengjun from Zhejiang Province.
The youngest among them is 33 years old this year, and the oldest will be 46 soon.
They are all heroes who have followed Director Liu to the battlefield.
They were all injured to some extent.
Some are missing legs, some are missing arms, some walk with a limp, and some have one hand that is too weak to carry weight.
Xia Ran looked at the heroes and said, "It's okay, don't be nervous, sit down, are you used to this place?"
Someone said honestly and awkwardly: "It's a habit, a habit, thank you, thank you."
They were just afraid that Xia Ran would not be satisfied with them. The treatment here was pretty good and they didn’t want to lose this job.
The smartest one replied: "Boss, thank you for providing us with such a good job opportunity."
"You're welcome. I just happen to need someone here, and you guys are just right for the job. This is a win-win situation for both of us.
I've made an appointment to meet with you all, mainly for two things. First, I'll give you all your travel expenses.
Second, I want to ask if you have other specialties, or are you all planning to look after the warehouse?"
When everyone heard what the travel expenses were, they were confused and nervous.
Could it be that they don't have enough people, or that they don't like them because they are missing limbs, and don't plan to use them?
Everyone became nervous in an instant.
I was afraid that Xia Ran would say the next moment, "We don't need so many people here, those who don't have special skills can go back."
Xia Ran said: "Come on, I'll give you your travel expenses first, 300 yuan per person."
He handed the money that had been prepared long ago to the six people.
This made the six people even more nervous, as no one was willing to take the money.
"Oh, don't worry, this is our company's employee benefit, everyone has it, just take it and rest assured, everyone has it."
"Boss, aren't you going to fire us?"
Xia Ran laughed when she heard it, it turned out to be a misunderstanding:
"We are short of people here, why should I fire anyone? This is the money for your travel here, everyone has it, keep it.
Don't worry, we have plenty of work here, so there's no need to worry about having no place to work. Everyone has work to do. Looking after the warehouse is our last choice, not the only one.
Or you can also talk about what you like to do? For example, do you like interacting with people, or do you hate interacting with people? You can talk about it.
I will try my best to arrange you in positions that you like and are good at.
Of course, if you are willing to take care of the warehouse, that is no problem at all."
After hearing Xia Ran's assurance, several people happily took the money.
One person even asked with some concern: "Could it be that you felt sorry for us and sent it to us on purpose?"
Xia Ran said: "Why should I pity you? What have you done to deserve my pity? I told you that this is our company's employee benefit, and everyone has it. If you don't believe me, ask Yang Guanghui and the others.
The standards I hold for Yang Guanghui and others are the same standards I hold for you. It’s the same for everyone.
I only ask one thing of all of you, and that is loyalty. Just work hard and don't stab me in the back. I have no other requests."
Xia Ran had no intention of giving them any preferential treatment, nor would he treat them unfairly. He would just follow the unified normal standards.
She felt that what these people wanted more was to be needed and to prove that they were still useful, rather than to be treated specially.
Moreover, for the sake of better management, she would not set a precedent for special care and increase the difficulty of management for herself.
As long as they don't stab her, Xia Ran, she will make sure that these people have a good future.
"Don't worry about that, boss. We know that and will be absolutely loyal."
In fact, when Xia Ran was out of town, she asked Li Shuangqiang to ask them what they thought. Xia Ran wanted to confirm it personally to avoid any misunderstandings.
Even though these people are not doing well now, or even a little embarrassed, it cannot erase the fact that they once used their flesh and blood to protect this land with their hearts.
They are heroes and they should be treated as heroes deserve.
Since they have met each other by chance, Xia Ran hopes that in addition to supporting their families and earning wages, they can live as happily and with dignity as possible.
The next things were much simpler. After Xia Ran had a free-flowing conversation with them, he basically had an idea of what was going on.
He said: "You should still do what you need to do in the next few days. For now, we will assign specific positions based on your strengths and preferences after everything is set up."
"Okay, I'll listen to the boss."
Recently, they followed Li Shuangqiang or Yang Guanghui to sort out and reorganize various goods that were shipped to Shanghai some time ago.
The warehouse where the goods are stored is currently rented temporarily.
Xia Ran originally planned to let them put the goods in the back houses of the courtyard, since they were empty anyway.
Unfortunately, these people were all men, and Chen Jin was at home, so it was not very convenient, so they changed their minds temporarily.
As soon as I came out after the chat, Lao Peng and Peng Bo were already waiting for me.
The three of them drove to check on the warehouses again.
Recently, Lao Peng and Peng Bo have been running themselves into pieces trying to find a suitable place to use as a warehouse.
Xia Ran mentioned Pudong at first, but after the two of them looked around Pudong and saw that they still had plenty of time, they couldn't confirm it after a second.
I also went around to look at other places and screened them again and again.
There are currently five good-looking places with varying prices. The lowest one can be bought for more than 1 yuan, and the most expensive one costs 26 yuan.
Of course the location and area are different.
Xia Ran spent half the morning looking at these places and invited all the ones he was interested in to come over for a chat.
Finally, we chose two locations, each costing more than 6 yuan.
The main reason for buying this place is that it is close to the port and convenient for transporting goods. There were originally two large warehouses built here, covering a total area of two acres and four fen.
The factory building was newly built not long ago and can be used directly after the locks were changed.
There is another piece of land that Xia Ran spent 15 yuan on. It is a bankrupt factory located in Pudong.
Including the guard room, there are a total of twenty-five rooms, arranged in four rows.
The first three rows are working areas, and the last row is the dormitory, canteen, and washroom.
I used to be in the clothing business, which was prosperous for a while in the early 1980s and made the boss rich.
Unfortunately, in recent years, the clothing market has been squeezed out by Hong Kong and foreign goods and has gradually lost its living space.
It was discontinued at the beginning of the year before last.
The boss heard through the grapevine that the country was planning to develop the Pudong area, and originally planned to keep it and try his luck.
Waiting to see if it will be demolished in the future?
