The person who spoke was none other than Brother Li.
Sun Ergou quickly held the brake of the motorcycle and slowly stopped.
"Brother Li, you have bought so much food. Do you want to have a meal tonight?"
Sun Ergou looked at the big and small bags of food with a smile and grinned.
Brother Li lifted it up and shook it: "I was about to ask you to go there. I decided to go to Longcheng to develop. It will be closer to home. I will leave tomorrow. Let's cook and have a few drinks tonight."
"Of course it's no problem, then let's see Brother Li off!"
Chen Zhen said with a smile, then helped Brother Li pick up the things in his hand and walked towards home like the third brother.
Brother Li's house is not in the same alley as Chen Zhen's, but they are in the same area. When they entered the room, they looked at the child on the bed and teased him.
Chen Zhen looked at the chubby little face of Brother Li's child and said with a smile: "Brother Li, your child is really lucky. He is so chubby. One look at it and you will be blessed."
Brother Li and his wife were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. My sister-in-law stuck her head out and said, "Chen Zhen has been sweet-mouthed since he was a child. Why, when are you going to have a baby?"
"Me? I'll work harder and try to have one before Er Gouzi gets married."
"Yeah, Brother Zhen, I'll go find Mengjuan right away."
"Hahaha."
…
A group of people were joking and joking around in the room, and after nearly two hours of busy work, the food was served.
"Okay, sister-in-law, stop working, sit down and eat quickly, we can't even eat this."
Chen Zhen sat on the chair and said quickly, there are only four or five people in total, and the seven or eight dishes are almost ready for the New Year.
"Okay, okay, let me get you some wine. Brother Li is usually reluctant to drink this wine. Today you are happy, so it's just the right time to have some."
"Yes, bring it over!"
Brother Li waved his hand and followed suit.
The lights near the dormitory room of the match factory slowly went out as the night fell. Several people drank two bottles of white wine in the room, with blushes on their faces and slow movements.
Chen Zhen saw that it was getting late. After all, there were still children to rest, so he called a few people to smoke a cigarette outside the house and get ready to go home.
"Hey, I'm telling you, make more money while you're young. The pressure will be great after getting married. You see, I'm really confused when I go to Dragon City to look for opportunities to develop."
Brother Li rolled up his half-sleeves, puffed out a cigarette and said
Chen Zhen was also a little dizzy, but his consciousness was still very clear: "Brother Li, just stick to your own direction and ideas and do it boldly. Don't have any scruples. Ergouzi and I will help take care of Pingjiang."
"By the way, it was difficult for Brother Li to get started when he went to Dragon City. I may need Brother Li to do transportation to the south after a while. When there is business, I will be the first to find you."
After Chen Zhen finished speaking, Brother Li immediately threw away the cigarette butt and said excitedly: "How did you know I wanted to do this? I really think there will be a lot of delivery and pickup in the future. If we can set up a transportation company, we will definitely make money. .”
Chen Zhen nodded aside. How could he not know that Brother Li would dominate the logistics industry in Longcheng in the future, and success would only be a matter of time.
After a few people chatted for a while, they dispersed from the door of Brother Li's house. Chen Zhen lay next to Sun Ergou's ear and said a few words. Sun Ergou immediately responded: "No problem, Brother Li, just leave this matter to me!" "
The consciousness of the two of them gradually blurred. Chen Zhen returned home a little drunk. Zhang Baixue had not yet fallen asleep and frowned slightly when smelling the smell of alcohol on Chen Zhen's body.
Zhang Baixue, who thought she was going to complain about Chen Zhen, surprisingly didn't say anything. As for why.
Zhang Baixue also confided after Chen Zhen's success: My trust in you had already reached unconditional level at that time. Men can drink, but it is best to have a certain degree.
Early the next morning.
Chen Zhen's throat was a little hoarse. Zhang Baixue had already gone to work early. There was a glass of warm water on the table and a bowl of egg custard covered with it.
November is getting cooler in the match factory. In this season of random dressing, you can see not only the colorful cotton-padded jackets of adults and aunts, but also the half-sleeved work clothes of young men who have just grown up.
Chen Zhen put on his coat and went to the archives. When he passed the third workshop, he didn't see Sun Ergou, so he made a cup of tea in the archives and squinted for a while.
He had just been squinting for a few minutes when a roar woke up Chen Xing. His body swayed so hard that he almost fell off the rocking chair.
Chen Zhen didn't even need to look, he knew it was Sun Ergou, that brat.
"Brother Zhen, the matter is settled. I asked my father to shout through the loudspeaker in the village seven or eight times, and everyone who wanted to work went to the village committee to sign up."
"Everyone is very positive about making money."
Sun Ergou said excitedly.
Chen Zhen also knew that the quota for state-owned factories was stuck. There were not yet a large number of factories entering rural areas. If he could earn some money by doing odd jobs at the end of the year, he would be relatively comfortable this year.
"Okay, I'll go to the factory in the afternoon."
…
Chen Zhen was not in the archives department, and Li Shuaifu basically took on the responsibilities of the archives department. Although not much, he did a good job.
The size of the factory is not large, but it is enough for Chen Zhen and the others.
The machines in the abandoned factory have long been removed, but the remaining belts and cutting tools are not difficult to tell what kind of factory it is.
The two selected nearly ten people from the registration list and cleaned everything in the factory all afternoon.
"This is our boss Chen, please be quiet and let's say a few words."
Sun Ergou stood at the door and shouted loudly.
"I believe Ergou has already told everyone about the work content, so I will talk about the wage issue that everyone is most concerned about."
As soon as Chen Zhen's words came out, the people below also cheered up. They only work for money.
"After the puree is brewed, it needs to be mixed with the honey juice in a corresponding proportion. We do not do it according to working hours, but work on a piece-by-piece basis and work according to the income."
"A cup costs five cents. The more you do, the more money you make, so if you are willing to do it, you can find Ergou to register your information."
…
As for the five cents, Chen Zhen came up with it after careful consideration. Chen Zhen did not want to profit from squeezing workers from the beginning. Employees and bosses always complement each other.
The retail price is 80 cents a cup, and the wholesale price must be reduced to about 50 cents. The price of raw materials such as apples, rock sugar, and rice vinegar is also nearly 20 cents. Adding in the plastic cups, the cost is calculated as just over 20 cents.
Not only labor is required, but also transportation costs, which translates into very low money.
After all, Chen Zhen and Zhang Baixue also made nearly a hundred cups that day, which took five or six hours.
A worker can make up to 100 cups a day, which works out to five yuan a day.
This is more than the number of workers in state-owned factories. This is a sure profit no matter how you calculate it!
"Okay, I've done this job!"
