"Since you want to go to the garment company, let's go now. Get in my car," Li Yang smiled and led her outside.
After getting into the car, he found the transfer contract for the garment company, located the company address section, and then navigated there.
Tian Lun Ji Le Garment Company was a garment company that combined administrative offices and a production factory. Therefore, it was built in a more remote area of Jiangcheng.
The advantage was that land rent was cheap, which could save a lot of expenses.
This company ranked twenty-seventh overall among similar companies in Jiangcheng. It was somewhat famous, but not very well-known.
The security guard at the main gate was slowly unfolding the newspaper subscribed to by the company, intending to place it under his freshly bought baked sweet potato. Upon seeing a BMW drive up, he immediately shouted, "Hey, what is this boss here for?"
"I'm the new boss here, come to check out my company," Li Yang said, showing him the transfer contract with a smile.
The security guard was startled and quickly put down his baked sweet potato. "Oh dear, the big boss has arrived. My apologies. I didn't have lunch, and I just saw someone selling sweet potatoes from a tricycle. I was hungry, so I bought two to fill my stomach. I wasn't shirking my duties or neglecting my work. Big boss, please don't fire me."
"Don't panic, old man. Eating a baked sweet potato is not a big deal. By the way, what's your name?" Li Yang asked with a smile.
The security guard breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "My surname is Sun. Everyone in the factory calls me Old Sun. Big boss, please wait a moment. I'll call the general manager's office and let them know you're here, so they can come out to welcome you immediately."
"No need, Uncle Sun. We're here today to conduct an unannounced inspection and see the current situation of this company. If you call them out, it will be a show for me, but I won't be able to see the real picture," Li Yang said, waving his hand with a smile. He pointed to the main gate and continued, "Open the gate and let us in. Eat your food properly, and don't say anything. That will be a great service."
"Alright, then I won't make the call," Old Sun nodded and immediately opened the gate.
"Thanks."
"You're too kind, big boss." Watching Li Yang drive in and get out of the car not far away, clearly not wanting the people in the office building and production factory to know their identities, a glint flashed in Old Sun's old eyes. He whispered, "It seems this big boss is a man of action. Those scoundrels are in for trouble!"
"Miss Zheng, where do you think we should conduct our covert inspection first?" Li Yang asked, turning his head.
Zheng Jiaqi immediately replied, "Let's go to the production factory first. Whether it's the garment designers, the design directors, or the skill levels in various positions, they will all be reflected in the actual products."
"As expected of a professional," Li Yang gave her a thumbs-up and then walked with her towards the production factory.
The factory had several floors, each with its own division of labor. As soon as they reached the entrance, they took vests from the adjacent wall and put them on.
The workers, seeing them enter, merely glanced at them curiously, especially at the beautiful Zheng Jiaqi, and then continued their work.
The supervisors and managers, seeing the vests on them, didn't think much of it, assuming they were newcomers from other teams or departments. They just cast a few glances and went back to their own tasks.
From the first floor to the top floor, they inspected the entire company's production line and processes.
Li Yang asked, "What do you think, Miss Zheng?"
"Some processes are quite rough, the work skills of some workers are not up to par, and some management personnel are slacking off, deliberately dragging their feet," Zheng Jiaqi, who had previously been a design director, had to coordinate with many departments and could spot many deficiencies at a glance.
"However, overall, the problems are not significant. And judging by the production volume, this company is quite profitable."
"If the daily output is like this, how much do you think it should profit annually?" Li Yang asked.
Zheng Jiaqi replied, "Based on my previous experience, if the production is like this every day, and there's no overproduction, with everything being used to fulfill orders, then it should profit at least around ten million yuan annually."
"Are you sure?" Li Yang's eyes flickered.
"Very sure."
Zheng Jiaqi nodded and said, "This estimate is very conservative, and it might even profit more!"
"Then this is interesting. The company's year-end report only shows a profit of over seven million. Where did the missing three million go?" Li Yang handed her his phone to look at.
Last night, while having Chang Wei transfer the assets, he also obtained the highest-level access accounts for each asset, allowing him to investigate the profits and losses and other data of the assets through his phone at any time.
Zheng Jiaqi glanced at it, her brow furrowed. "Mr. Li, if my estimation is not wrong, then there might be some issues with the company's finances."
"In that case, we should go and check the office building," Li Yang looked towards the office building opposite.
Zheng Jiaqi nodded, "Yes, it would be best to have separate conversations with the company's finance department, the current general manager, and other high-level personnel to see who has problems."
"Hey, which department's workers are you? What are you whispering about there? If you don't work properly, I'll deduct your wages."
Suddenly, a man in his early thirties, straightening the red stamp on his shoulder, walked towards them.
Li Yang smiled and was about to reveal his true identity when he noticed the man's shifty eyes fixated on Zheng Jiaqi's delicate figure.
Zheng Jiaqi felt uncomfortable under his gaze and instinctively shifted her body to hide behind Li Yang.
"Heh heh, beautiful lady, don't be afraid. Everyone in the factory knows that I, Ni Dazhu, am a famously good man?" Ni Dazhu said with a lecherous smile, pointing to the red stamp on his shoulder. "You're new here, you might not know, but I'm the director of the disciplinary inspection team."
"But you don't need to call me Director, you can call me Brother Ni."
As he spoke, he became excited and reached out to grab her.
Li Yang frowned and blocked his hand. "You'd better not mess around."
"You kid, don't meddle in other people's business!"
Ni Dazhu's expression turned cold, and he glared at Li Yang. "Get lost! Otherwise, I'll say you stole something from the factory. Not only will you be fired, but you'll also go to jail!"
"Do you understand?"
"You're quite arrogant. I haven't taken anything, so how can you say I stole something?" Li Yang stared at him.
Ni Dazhu sneered, "Kid, do you think you're innocent? Even if you don't take anything, can't I falsely accuse you of being a thief?"
"Let me tell you, I have over a dozen brothers under me. Each with a mouth, eyes, and hands. After they beat you to the ground, they can just plant a few things on you and say you stole them. Who do you think they'll believe then, you or an innocent person?"
