Chapter 2510 Layoffs
"Work hard when you go back. The auto repair shop is probably going to lay off people. I've talked to the boss and he should keep you, but the work will definitely be a lot heavier in the future, so you should be mentally prepared." Master Ye looked worried.
"Why lay off people? Business is not good?" Ye Qingqing asked curiously.
She went to the auto repair shop twice and felt bad both times. It was dirty and messy, with things piled up in a mess. The first impression was not good. If her car broke down, she would definitely not go to such a dirty auto repair shop to repair it unless it was absolutely necessary.
And every time she went there, she felt that the business was not good, it was deserted, and the masters were lazy at work, unlike other auto repair shops that were busy and enthusiastic.
Master Ye smiled bitterly, "Business is actually not bad, but the boss is addicted to gambling. The auto repair shop has too much money to spend, so many spare parts are not bought, and there is a shortage of tools. Business is getting worse day by day."
In fact, the location of the auto repair shop is very good, just near the highway, with many passing cars. If the boss works hard, the business will definitely be prosperous. He was working when the boss just built the factory, and he did make a lot of money in the first two years, but the boss's heart was also floating, and he actually learned from others to gamble. I heard that he owed a lot of gambling debts, and his house and car at home could not be kept. If there were no other shareholders, the auto repair shop would probably be sold.
Master Ye was very worried. He only knew how to repair cars, and he didn't know other skills. If the auto repair shop changed to a strange boss, he didn't really want to work. The current boss has known him for nearly ten years, and he is considered a veteran in the factory.
The boss is usually not here, and he manages the factory. The boss doesn't treat him badly. He gets red envelopes every New Year and festivals, and he gives him face. If there is a new boss, Master Ye knows that his treatment will definitely not be as good as it is now. He is used to managing others, and it is really a bit uncomfortable for him to be managed by others.
"Gambling is the most harmful thing. Your boss can't turn over. Oh... If the factory goes bankrupt, where will you and Xiaohua go to work?" The old lady also frowned.
Master Ye comforted: "It won't go bankrupt for the time being, don't worry, we make a living by our skills. If we quit this one, we can go to the next one. We won't starve to death."
The old lady sighed and whispered: "It's better to do business than to do business with a master. If it really goes bankrupt, we can only move to another place, but there is only one auto repair shop in our county."
Azhen couldn't help but interrupt and said: "If this one goes bankrupt, there will definitely be a new boss to take over. There are so many cars in the county, and there will be more and more auto repair shops. Grandma, don't worry about having no work."
Master Ye nodded, "Yes, there will definitely be work to do, but I don't know what the new boss is like, but it doesn't matter. We just have to work hard."
"The location of your factory is actually quite good. If you run it carefully, you can make a lot of money a year." Ye Qingqing said.
"In the first few years, our boss had a net profit of 500,000 or 600,000 yuan every year. Even if the business is quiet now, it is not a loss. It's a pity that the location is so bad. The boss asked me if I wanted to take over. I don't have the money. Otherwise, I would definitely make a lot of money if I took it over." Master Ye shook his head regretfully.
If his daughter hadn't been sick, he would have taken it over even if he had to borrow money. He can repair cars himself, and he is familiar with the supply channels and customers. It is not a problem to make 700,000 or 800,000 yuan a year, or even millions. But now he can only sigh in despair.
"How much does it cost to take it over?" Ye Qingqing asked.
Master Ye was stunned for a moment and replied: "Including the rent, it's about 300,000 yuan. The boss gave a lot of discounts for this price, and he doesn't want to sell it to others."
