Blacksmith Ma's kneeling really shocked Duan Wenjun.
Just now, his attention was focused on the charcoal hot pot in his hand, and he didn't even notice that Ma Xinyuan was so nervous.
At this moment, he realized that Ma Xinyuan might have misunderstood him.
He hurriedly bent over and helped Ma Xinyuan up. "Old Ma, when did I say I would drive you out of Wangjiang? You misunderstood me. When I said go to other places for development, I wanted to ask you if you had any ideas. Going to Duanjiabao to do some work?"
Ma Xinyuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand what Duan Wenjun meant.
He let Duan Wenjun pull him up, and he looked at Duan Wenjun blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Duan Wenjun looked at him and smiled, then continued talking.
"I asked you to help me build this thing. The price was also agreed upon by us in advance. That's a fixed thing. How can we change it casually? You suddenly lowered the price again and again. What would you think if you were a guest yourself?"
"Even if your profits are already very small, when customers see that you have reduced prices so much and so quickly, they will think that your profits must be huge, and they will naturally squeeze your prices even more. That's why I say, you Not business material.”
"We have a total of twenty-two charcoal hot pots in this business. According to the profit you said is fifty cents, we only earn a little more than one tael of silver in total. Even if you make two in half a day, even if you work at night, you will only earn four taels in a day. To five, it will take at least four to five days to complete.”
"According to this calculation, your monthly income is sixty-seven taels of silver. But I believe that you can't get a job like this every day. That's why I asked you, can you earn it in a month?" Five taels of silver."
"I believe you must have heard some rumors. I am doing some construction in Duanjiabao and I just need some talents like you. If you are willing to go, open a blacksmith shop in Duanjiabao, but in the future it will be dedicated to I work, and I give you one hundred and fifty wages every day."
"One hundred and fifty renminbi a day, a month later, it's more than 4,000 renminbi. I believe it shouldn't be much less than the income of your blacksmith shop, and it should even be more."
"If we do well, or if we make money in the future, we can add more wages. What do you think?"
Duan Wenjun's words made Ma Xinyuan stunned for a moment.
He thought to himself, how will I know what you think if you don't tell me?
However, if it is true, the eldest young master of the Duan family seems to have really changed as rumored.
Ma Xinyuan stared at Duan Wenjun. It took him a long time to realize what I was saying. He said with surprise on his face, "Master Duan, is what you said true?"
More than four thousand yuan a month, which is more than four taels of silver.
Ma's mind is far away and he doesn't dare to think too much.
If the blacksmith shop can sustain itself and earn three taels of silver a month, then the business must be very good, which is already very impressive.
Going to Duanjiabao to work, you don't have to worry about whether the business is good or not, as long as you work hard, you will get more than four taels of silver, which is like a dream.
"Of course it's true." Duan Wenjun nodded.
"I don't know Master Duan, why do you want me to go?" Ma Xinyuan still didn't believe that such a pie in the sky had hit him, and asked uneasily.
"It's very simple. I can trust you to do your job!" Duan Wenjun smiled after hearing this. "Not only did you create the sample I wanted so quickly, you also made an improved version based on your own experience. This is the person I want. I I like it very much. Another important point is that you are an honest person and not suitable for business, but you are a good technical potential stock. "
Technology potential stocks?
Ma Xinyuan was stunned when he heard this. Although he didn't know what the technical potential stock Duan Wenjun was talking about, but since it was technology, it must be his blacksmithing skills.
When it comes to blacksmithing, Ma Xinyuan is still very confident in his own skills.
Seeing Ma Xinyuan nodded, Duan Wenjun continued, "There may be a lot of things going on in Duanjiabao in the early stage. If you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back often. I wonder if you need to discuss it with your family?"
Ma Xinyuan's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. His wife was pregnant and was about to give birth. It would be inconvenient if she couldn't come back often at this time.
However, this fixed income of one hundred and fifty cents a day really made him excited.
"But what's the difficulty?" Duan Wenjun spoke again.
Ma Xinyuan clasped his fists, "I dare not lie to Master Duan. I have no relatives in Wangjiang, only my wife and I. However, she will give birth in two months..."
"Lao Ma, congratulations, congratulations! You're going to be a father. This is a good thing." A bright smile suddenly appeared on Duan Wenjun's face. "How about you see if this works? I'll have someone give it to you at Duanjiabao." Arrange a yard, you can just bring your sister-in-law there with you. It’s not easy for a woman to get pregnant, it’s really hard, how can she do it without a man around to take care of her? "
When Ma Xinyuan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and then showed a hint of embarrassment: "Thank you, Master Duan, for your kindness. I just don't know how much the rent is for this yard? Our family..."
"As long as you agree to go there, you will work for me. I have arranged this yard for you, so how can you ask for rent?" Duan Wenjun said with a smile, "But the conditions may not be good at the beginning, so you need to open the furnace in your own yard. . When the later workshop is built, I can give you a special place to work. I hope you don’t mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind!" Ma Xinyuan was overjoyed when he heard this.
I have more than four taels of silver every month and I can arrange a yard for myself.
By blacksmithing in your own yard, you can not only take care of your pregnant wife, but you can also do things.
How could this make him unhappy? How could it possibly make him mind?
"In that case, let me make the arrangements first. It will probably take five or six days." Duan Wenjun nodded. "We will start calculating the salary from today, one hundred and fifty cents per day. You can sort out the things in the shop." , I will send someone to send you and your sister-in-law to Duanjiabao when the time comes."
Ma Xinyuan nodded and said no more.
"Master Duan, let me follow the master to Duanjiabao!" At this moment, the apprentice Zhao Xiaoliu said, "I don't want a salary, as long as I can take care of the food."
"Xiao Liu, don't be ridiculous! What will Auntie do if you go?" Ma Xinyuan's face darkened, and he stared at Zhao Xiaoliu and said, "You have been studying with me for more than a year, and you are almost able to stand on your own. After I went to Duanjiabao , I will leave this blacksmith shop to you, just do your best."
Zhao Xiaoliu was stunned when he heard this: "Master, I want to stay with you and learn more..."
Zhao Xiaoliu's home is right next door to Ma's blacksmith shop. There is only one old mother in the family.
For more than a year, Zhao Xiaoliu has been working as an apprentice in Ma Xinyuan's blacksmith shop. Although he did not get paid, Ma Xinyuan and his wife treated him like a biological brother.
Ma Xinyuan taught him never to hide his secrets.
A few days ago, Zhao's mother accidentally fell and injured herself when she went out. Ma Xinyuan even used his savings to pay for her medical treatment.
Ma Xinyuan had just made up his mind and went to Duanjiabao. The blacksmith shop was left to Zhao Xiaoliu so that he could make a living. It also counted as the wages Zhao Xiaoliu had given him as an apprentice for more than a year.
After listening to Ma Xinyuan talk about Zhao Xiaoliu's situation, Duan Wenjun frowned, "Xiaoliu, how is your mother's injury now?"
"My mother's injury has healed well, but the doctor said she will have to stay in bed for another month before she can go to bed." Zhao Xiaoliu looked a little depressed.
"In this case, you go back and ask your mother if she is willing to follow you to Duanjiabao." Duan Wenjun nodded, "If you are willing to go there, you can live in the same courtyard with Lao Ma when you get there."
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Xiaoliu kept nodding his head, "Xiao Liuzi, just follow the young master's orders.".
Duan Wenjun looked at him and smiled, "You continue to work for Lao Ma. As for the salary, I will give you thirty cents a day upfront. When you really finish your studies, I will increase your salary."
"Master, do I get paid too?" Zhao Xiaoliu was overjoyed when he heard this.
