Chapter 1961: Is it a trap? Or a lucrative job?
It can be said that one out of every fifty people in Nanshan City works in a printing factory.
The annual output value is in the tens of billions.
However, with the soaring housing prices and the gradual rise of other media, printing factories in Nanshan City gradually declined.
This time, Lu Fan outsourced the packaging of his factory to Xiangyu Printing Factory.
It is rare for a printing factory to get a few large orders. The previous orders were for printing teaching materials and entrance examination papers for several schools across the city.
Both orders are big jobs.
Especially for soy sauce factories, they not only need to print trademarks, but also outer packaging.
It's totally a bad trip.
Xiangyu Printing Factory used to be a large state-owned enterprise, but "017" is now contracted out to a private company. It did not catch up with the good times and gradually lost any big business.
There were no problems with the trademarks and packaging before, and the cooperation between the two companies was relatively smooth.
And because they needed to print an additional batch of gift packages later, everyone in Xiangyu Printing Factory was very happy and started working with all their might, so they can have a good year this year.
When Lu Fan heard that there was a problem at the printing factory, he rushed over with his assistant, only to find that the factory area not far away was in a mess and he had no idea what was going on.
Liu Nian, the head of the security department, has been worried that people from Shengjing Company might do something to cause trouble behind the scenes ever since Lu Fan gave the instructions.
Hearing the commotion at the printing factory not far from the soy sauce factory, he had something on his mind, so he followed Lu Fan and the others over:
"What's going on, Mr. Lu? Everyone in our factory can hear the noise here."
Lu Fan shook his head:
"The printing factory told me that the packaging might not be shipped, and I didn't know what was going on, so I rushed here with Xiao Zhang."
At the employee level, Liu Nian was more popular than Lu Fan. He asked Lu Fan to wait here while he went to inquire:
"Please wait here and don't go over. I'll go and find out. It's a mess here, so don't let anyone hurt you."
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and walked towards the nearest workers:
"Hey, brother, let me ask you something."
Liu Nian went to make friends, and Lu Fan didn't just stand there and wait, but followed him over.
As a result, he found out the whole story of the printing factory in just a few words.
It turned out that the printing factory had finally received a big order, and the workers were working busily.
But it soon became apparent that the factory was running short of ink, paper, and other raw materials.
How can we rush the work without materials? The factory director kept delaying, saying he was going to purchase stock.
As a result, after another three or five days, the materials still hadn't arrived at the factory. When I called again, not only could I not contact the factory manager, but even the accountant had no news.
What is there to think about? It must be that the factory director and the accountant ran away with the factory's money.
Upon further inquiry, it turned out that the factory director's accountant was indeed the brother-in-law and nephew of the factory director. Now the workers and his son were making a fuss and went to the factory director's house to ask for an explanation.
Liu Nian smoked some cigarettes and didn't get any other important information. He came back to discuss with Lu Fan:
"Boss Lu, do you want me to go over and take a look with the workers?"
"We need some definite news whether he ran away or not. Besides, we still have the deposit for our goods, which is all in the printing factory."
Lu Fan did not expect that there was no problem with his own factory, but it was the printing factory next door that had problems.
For him, money is not the most important thing; what matters are the trademarks and packaging.
Don't let the production volume increase but still not be able to ship the goods due to insufficient packaging.
Lu Fan was thinking about whether to change factories and start work quickly, or to find Li Tian first and ask him to check whether the director of the printing factory had run away with the money.
Wang Mingtang called.
It turns out that although this printing factory was privatized from the state, it still had a sign indicating cooperation with the municipal government.
Every year, the municipal government assigns tasks such as municipal brochures, New Year's desk calendars, wall calendars, and Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" (good fortune) to Xiangyu Printing Factory.
In the past, Xiangyu Printing Factory was also a golden signboard of Nanshan City. It made huge profits every year and the tax revenue it paid to the municipal government was also high.
Moreover, Xiangyu Printing Factory has benefited from the national flag, and the family business it has accumulated over the years is much more substantial than that of the Wang family's soy sauce factory.
The workshops and factories are more numerous and larger than those of the soy sauce factory. There is also an office building, which is also the facade of Xiangyu Printing Factory, and the equipment is more professional and expensive.
Wang Mingtang called to ask Lu Fan if he was interested in acquiring the company.
The influence of the Wang family on Nanshan City is far less than that of Wang Mingtang, who is in politics. At least, Wang Mingtang knows about Lu Fan's acquisition of 3 companies in Nanshan City, but the Wang family is still unaware of it.
Wang Mingtang was also upset by the sudden incident at the printing factory, so he thought of coming to Lu Fan.
After all, acquiring other companies is one thing, but what if Lu Fan wants a printing factory?
The Xiangyu Printing Factory is right next to Lu Fan’s soy sauce factory, so it is very convenient to use.
And even if we take a step back, even if we acquire Xiangyu Printing Factory, we don't want to continue doing this old business and want to change to another industry.
The area of the Xiangyu Printing Factory alone is much larger than that of the soy sauce factory.
Lu Fan was stunned when he heard Wang Mingtang's instigation.
