Chapter 362: Transforming the Toy Factory
"Okay, including the same severance pay as the toy factory's, which is three times their company's, and then, I will ensure that the funds reach their accounts as soon as possible."
"Okay, that's fine. The key issue is the inventory of medicines. How should we deal with them? And the total value of these medicines is quite a significant figure when added up."
"For now, the medicines will be temporarily sealed and stored together with those of the toy factory. Let's quickly get this door sealed off and, from now on, prevent any further involvement with us."
"Alright, understood. What about me, President Lin?" Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire
This was the issue that Manager Liu was most concerned about.
Dismissing these employees wasn't a problem for him, as long as he could still remain by Lin Yi's side. He believed that one day he would have his chance to rise through the ranks.
But he also feared that Lin Yi might seize this opportunity to kick him to the curb, especially since this whole major incident had occurred due to him.
He had prepared himself for the possibility that if Lin Yi had decided not to keep him around, he definitely wouldn't stay shamelessly.
"Manager Liu, regarding you, you were in charge of sales in the early stages and are familiar with the business. In the later stages, perhaps, you could still be of use, so for now, you'll stay."
"President Lin, are you serious?"
When Manager Liu heard this, he truly felt a mixture of surprise and gratitude.
He had made such a grave mistake, yet now Lin Yi was willing to look past it and keep him by his side once again, which was indeed a significant gain for him.
"The reason I'm keeping you is because you still have some use. That's why I'm letting you stay. Also, I want to tell you that I don't keep idlers around. If, in the future business, you are unable to prove your worth, I'm sorry, but you'll also have to leave."
When Lin Yi spoke, his attitude was very determined.
Everyone knew that this was just the kind of person Lin Yi was: ordinarily attentive and careful with them, but very serious and earnest about crucial matters.
"Rest assured, President Lin, I absolutely will not let you down."
"Then there should be no problem here. The rest is all about the company's affairs. About the company, I had already temporarily laid them off yesterday, so I'll take responsibility for this side of things. If it gets too much for me to handle, Ling'er, you can give me a hand then."
"Okay, I got it."
"And Brother Lin, what about me?"
Hei Lang noticed that after going round the room, everyone else had been given tasks, but he seemed to have been left out.
"What, you need me to make arrangements for you? You just need to stay by my side to handle some special tasks; the rest has nothing to do with you."
"Okay, that's no problem, but what kind of special tasks?"
"Just go outside and find five patients with bone injuries."
"What? Five patients with bone injuries? What are you planning to do?"
"Don't worry about what I'm going to do. Just find me those patients with bone injuries, but do not bring them here by force for now, as it would be too conspicuous. Just get their home addresses when the time comes."
"Brother, what are you...?"
Hei Lang was utterly confused.
He had no idea what kind of "medicine" Lin Yi was brewing up.
Why all of a sudden does he need to find five patients with bone injuries? What connection do they have with him?
As far as he remembered, the elixir they were producing didn't seem to have much to do with bone injuries.
"No need to say anything, no need to ask anything, just do as I say. Five patients with bone injuries, no more, no less. Got it?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll go right now."
Once Hei Lang received his mission, he hurriedly left the conference room.
In fact, if Hei Lang stayed, he wouldn't be much help with the business discussions – traditionally, he had been a bodyguard, always by Lin Yi's side.
When Lin Yi encountered trouble or danger, Hei Lang would step up, but in usual business operations, it was rare to see Hei Lang around.
"Did everyone understand what I just mentioned? Moreover, within two days, do you think you can conclude these matters?"
"I'm absolutely sure there won't be a problem on my end. I believe the pharmacy staff already have an idea in their minds, so a simple conversation should do, especially since there's compensation involved."
"President Lin, I don't foresee any problems on the company's side either. I already discussed it with them over WeChat yesterday. They generally have a sensible attitude and definitely won't make trouble."
"What about you, Old Zhou?"
After the two had expressed their stance, Zhou Kongshan had been silent.
"My opinion is that we can't fire all the workers. At minimum, we have to keep half of them. If we really are going to switch to producing toys, we'll definitely need workers. Just a few of us can't handle everything."
"Converting to toy production…"
This phrase kept emerging in his mind.
He remembered the system had alerted him yesterday that if he really wanted to do all this, he had to hide his identity.
That meant even if he was curing people, he couldn't let anyone know he was playing the role of a doctor.
If, according to what Zhou Kongshan suggested, they converted the place into a toy factory, would that really conceal his identity?
The most convenient part was that the machinery for making the elixir was quite similar to that for producing toys. Although it would require an additional investment of 100,000 yuan, this was a relatively minor sum for him.
"You've all heard what Old Zhou said, what do you two think? Come on, voice your opinions."
"Well, I don't know much about producing toys, but if you really want me to sell toys and break into the market, I think I can make it happen."
