A Promising Youth novel Chapter 27

Although Clara didn't believe my words at all, when things came to this point, there was nothing else she could do.

In a short time Zach came over. He was plain and modest. He stood in front of Clara's desk and asked.

“Miss Clara, what is it?”

Clara turned her head to look at me. I poured a glass of water, handed it to Zach and said.

“In a few years, you should be retired, right? Is there a pension? What are your plans for the future when you leave the factory?”

Zach took the water and said with a scratch of his head.

“I don’t have pension. I was farmers before, and thanks to Miss Scarlett, I became a worker. I don't have any other expectations, as long as I can pay for my daughter to finish college. After I retire from work, I'll go pick up rags to sell for money.”

“Zach ......”

Hearing this, Clara said sourly.

“If... if the plant is doing well, I'd really like to ......”

“Hey! Miss Clara, I know you are as good as Miss Scarlett. Don’t worry. If I can’ work, I will take the initiative to resign and never drag our factory.”

I took a deep breath and said.

“Zach, don't be so pessimistic. We asked you over in the purpose of letting you have something to rely when you are old, and our factory must take this responsibility!”

Hearing this, Zach suddenly looked at me in surprise. Pinching my arm, Clara was so angry that her body was trembling. Now the survival of the factory was a problem. We could not afford pension to workers.

I fought through the pain in my arm and added.

“Zach, you know the valuation of the factory. With the ‘General Grey’, it is now up to 70 million, so we want to take some of the equity and transfer it to the workers to hold the shares at the original 10 million.”

“That means if I put 10,000 into it, I'll get 70,000, is that right?”

Zach said excitedly at once.

“Yes. And in the future, as long as the factory is profitable, you can get dividends every year, pension will not be a problem. If it is developed well, you can buy cars and houses for your children.” I said seriously.

“But --”

Zach's bright eyes instantly dimmed, “All the workers are not optimistic about our factory now, it's hard to get them to invest money in it!

What's more, they don't have money. It's not easy to cooperate.”

I shook my head with a smile and said.

“Zach, later you find some fast-talking and gossiping workers, quietly reveal this news to them, and be sure to instruct them that the equity is limited to only 10 people. After tonight, the company will never open up the equity to workers again.”

“Ok, I'll give it a try. After all it's a good thing, I thank the company for the workers!”

After saying that, Zach turned his head and left.

Clara then breathed a long sigh of relief and stifled a laugh, “You want the workers to buy the equity of my relative, right?!”

I nodded, but then she was confused.

“Why it is limited to only 10 people? With 2 million in equity, each worker must take at least 200,000. How can they have that much money? Matteo, sometimes your brain is quite good, but you are lack of social experience. The workers don't have that much money, and if they do, they won't take 200,000, to buy the equity.”

“Sis, don't jump to conclusions now. You’ll know my intentions before the end of the day.”

When I finished, I sat down on the stool, thought for a moment and asked.

“By the way, who is the second shareholder of the company?

Why haven't I seen him?

“He is to find a helper.”

Clara said with a cold face at once.

“Good. I didn't expect the second shareholder put his heart into the company's development.”

“He's looking for help to deal with me. Except for Carrie, the second shareholder wants the factory too.”
