Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 299 Robbery

One day in November, Director Ye of the Sifeng District Industrial Bureau called Wen Qing over. In the past two years, some factories in Beijing have been in poor business, and many have gone bankrupt and closed down. The issue of workers' resettlement has become a concern for the government. When factories close down, both the government and the factories have the responsibility to help workers find new jobs.

Wen Qing was called over by Director Ye for this matter. Before this, Wen Qing had recruited some workers from bankrupt and closed enterprises to supplement the labor force of feed factories, food factories, and wineries. However, most workers were unwilling to go to pig farms and orchards. Those with good image and good looks were introduced to Yang Jiesheng or Ji Feng. After training, they went to jewelry stores or sales offices to work as shopping guides. For those who were physically strong, she introduced them to Hu Dingze's construction team or kept them as security guards.

Director Ye was very satisfied with Wen Qing's understanding. The most difficult part of enterprise restructuring is the placement of workers. Wen Qing was willing to help, and Director Ye reciprocated by recommending Changxia Food Factory to participate in the "Pingjing City Famous and High-quality Products" and "Pingjing Well-known Trademark" selections, and it won many honors.

It is difficult to gain honor, and it is not easy to maintain honor. Wen Qing was worried that there would be loopholes in her management and that she would be caught by others. She took the initiative to contact an accounting firm and regularly audited several companies under her name every year.

There are very few private business owners like her who proactively look for accounting firms. This accounting firm worked very seriously and actually found some problems, such as untimely recording of purchases, suspected expiration of inventory, unclear aging of accounts receivable, unclear division of labor and responsibilities, untimely withdrawal of depreciation and provisions, prepayment of branch financial revenues and expenditures, and non-compliance with input tax deductions.

Wen Qing reported the problems found, analyzed and rectified them, took the initiative to pay back taxes, and punished the relevant responsible persons. Common mistakes would result in bonus deductions, and serious mistakes would result in dismissal. After several times, Tan Yuanfang also attached great importance to it and asked Wen Qing to recruit professional accountants for her and clear out those who were slacking off in the finance department. Other departments also took this as a warning.

Wen Qing handled these matters with both kindness and severity, and she had a high prestige among her employees, so those who were punished not only lost face but also dared not cause trouble for her. Several factory shareholders had been with her for many years, and although some people were short-sighted, Wen Qing patiently explained things to them, telling everyone not to lose the big picture for the small. As the scale of the enterprise expanded, it was inevitable that there would be areas of inadequate management, and there was no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

After Yang Jiesheng opened two stores in Beijing, he went to Songjiang. The store in Xujiahui, Songjiang is also a ground floor store with an area of ​​220 square meters. There is a large flow of people here, and it can be regarded as a good port. Wen Qing did not want to open a store in the Lujiazui building for the time being, so he asked Yang Jiesheng to help rent it out. The three-story building was soon rented to a Sino-foreign joint venture computer company with an annual rent of 40 yuan.

Yang Jiesheng stayed in Songjiang for two months, living in Wen Qing's small villa in Songjiang. Before, Yang Jiesheng had gone there to wait for Wen Qing, and only returned to Pingjing after he finished decorating the Jiesheng Jewelry Store.

The manager of the Songjiang branch was selected from the old employees of the processing plant. The person in charge is Lu Changyu, who is in his 40s and has worked in Yang Jiesheng's processing plant for 5 years. He was poached from Yang's Jewelry when he opened the processing plant. With such a large market in Songjiang, he plans to open 3 or 4 more Jiesheng Jewelry stores. He is relieved to have Lu Changyu in charge in Songjiang. At the same time, after the Jiesheng Jewelry in Hangzhou opens, he will also be responsible for the Hangzhou area.

Yang Jiesheng also appointed local persons in charge in Pingjing and Pengcheng, while he himself managed the processing plant and oversaw the overall situation. Wen Qing was the major shareholder of Jiesheng Jewelry and usually paid close attention to the two stores in Pingjing.

In September, after Shanshan went to school, the retired soldier Qiao Dali was still responsible for picking him up and dropping him off. Qiao Dali's relationship was also transferred to Liu Honggang. Wen Qing paid him directly every month and he became Wen Qing's personal bodyguard.

Wen Qing makes a clear distinction between herself and the company. For example, the orchard and Liu Honggang are her personal properties, and all expenses and income are personal. Even the Changxia Feed Factory, Changxia Winery, and Changxia Grain Company are independently operated and have no connection with each other to avoid business risks.

In December, the temperature in Pingjing had dropped to zero degrees. There was heating in the shopping mall, and as it was approaching Christmas, there were more people than usual. This was also the peak sales season for gold jewelry. Yang Jiesheng was busy launching new products in Pengcheng, and the store in Pingjing was temporarily managed by Wen Qing.

That day, Wen Qing went to Hengsheng Building to attend a board meeting. Seeing that it was still early, she went to Xicheng Lijing Shopping Center to check out the jewelry store.

People were coming and going in Jason's Jewelry Store. People were standing in groups of three or four in front of the counter, shopping. Young girls, gorgeous young women, and capable and conscientious white-collar workers all wanted to buy some gifts for themselves or their families at the end of the year.

The gold price of Jason Jewelry is not the highest, and it has recently launched a batch of new products, which has attracted a large number of customers. It is one of the most visited stores on the ground floor.

Wen Qing went over to greet the store manager, who said, "Sister Wen, you're here?"

Wen Qing was asking about the hot-selling styles of the day, and Liu Min opened her notebook to show her the sales situation of the goods. The two were talking when two men who were strolling around suddenly pulled down their hats, then pulled down the black veils hidden in the hats to cover their faces, each took out a gun, and shouted, "Don't move, this is a robbery! Take out the cash and jewelry from the counter and put them away." Then they threw a bag into the counter.

When the customers in the store heard the word "robbery", they panicked and ran out.

A tall and strong masked man pulled Wen Qing who was standing by the counter, and another gangster also grabbed the salesgirl standing outside the counter and shouted, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, or I'll beat them to death."

The cashier hesitated and did not dare to act. Wen Qing did not dare to speak either. She signaled the store manager with her eyes to do as she was told. She pretended to be scared and said in a trembling voice, "I just came to take a look. It's none of my business. Don't arrest me."

The tall and strong man said, "Stop talking nonsense." He punched Wen Qing, who fell to the ground with a cry. She looked around at the two bandits. They had weapons in their hands and there were many people at the scene. She was worried that the bandits would start killing and accidentally hurt employees and customers, so she could only act according to the situation.

The store manager Liu Min hurried over and took out the jewelry on the counter and the cash on the cash register and put them into her bag. The mall was in chaos. The two men shouted "Hurry up, hurry up" while snatching the bag from the store manager's hand, grabbing Wen Qing and the terrified salesgirl, and dragging them out. Wen Qing took advantage of the chaos to quietly say to the girl: "Don't be afraid, be careful."

The girl reluctantly followed the robbers out. The security guards of the mall hurriedly chased them out. A masked, thinner, armed robber raised his gun and shot at a security guard. The security guard fell to the ground unconscious. The other security guards dispersed and hid behind the door.
