When Yang Liufang and Zhang Feng returned to the factory, the vehicles delivering sand and cement from Zhaomagou had arrived, and the delivery master and the masons hired by the head of Shitou Village were unloading the trucks together. Yang Liufang arranged for workers to pour water for everyone. When Yang Liufang came back, the workers worked even harder.
After greeting everyone, Yang Liufang took a tape measure and worked with the village chief Shitou to plan the location of the bathroom expansion. Since the original bathroom was built just outside the factory, with only a bathroom door opened on the factory wall, the village head Shitou proposed to expand the area along the original bathroom and the factory wall. Even if the superiors came to inspect, it was still the land approved for building the factory in the first place. In this way, the bathroom part not only does not occupy the factory area, but also can be expanded outwards with the toilet and the main body of the bathroom as a whole. Yang Liufang and the village chief Shitou discussed and planned four toilets in the men's bathroom, with partitions between each toilet so that they would not affect each other. At the same time, a women's bathroom with two toilets was added. Next to the women's bathroom is a bathroom for four people to take a bath at the same time. The newly added area of this part is nearly 70 square meters. This is the greatest help that village head Shitou can give to the factory within the scope of his power. The rest can only depend on the wishes of the township leaders when they come to inspect. For this, Yang Liufang was already very grateful.
Compared with the bathroom, the cafeteria is not so convenient. The original canteen of the factory was built next to Yang Liufang's bedroom, and the outer wall of the canteen was the road into the factory and the village. Yang Liufang, the village head Shitou and the master chef looked around together. After several discussions, they decided that if they wanted to expand the canteen area, Yang Liufang could only free up the existing bedrooms and turn the existing canteen into a kitchen and kitchen. The dining window turns Yang Liufang's bedroom into a private room for entertaining distinguished guests. Then we occupy the current material storage space along the wall of the bedroom, and separate the canteen as a whole.
In view of this, Yang Liufang had to move out of the bedroom and temporarily move into the reception room next to the original warehouse. This played into Yang Liufang's wish, and it would be a good time for the township leaders to see how cramped and cramped the factory was. Even he, the investor and director of the factory, had no fixed place to live. After confirming it, Yang Liufang immediately asked four apprentices to help him move. In fact, he didn't have much, just a radio and a quilt. Because there are only tables and chairs in the reception room and no bed, for the time being, the things are placed on the table and chairs in the reception room. As for the bed, we can only wait for them to come back from the city to make a partition or let the workers build a kang.
After the arrangements were made, Yang Liufang took his four apprentices into the city to build partitions. Yang Liufang asked four porters to help the master move the canteen, and after freeing up the space where the materials were originally stored, he took a holiday. In the factory area, the village head Shitou was asked to focus on the overall reconstruction and expansion, and the master chef was asked to focus on the construction of the canteen functional area.
After a night of hard work, Yang Liufang and his four apprentices dug out the partitions of Yanhua's financial office in the supply and marketing cooperative. The wall putty Da Ga and Xiao Ga only scraped it once. Even though there was heating, it still couldn't be done. After daybreak, Yang Liufang could only arrange for Zhang Feng to take Shi Yong, Shi Fang and Xiao Ga back first and ask them to find some scraps in the factory and make twenty 0.6m*1.2m dining tables for four people. Comes with four chairs. Let Da Ga stay here, waiting for the second coat of putty, and sanding and painting. He has no place to sleep when he goes back. He might as well stay in a hotel here or sleep on his brother's bed.
Because of the construction at night, Zhang Feng couldn't rest well. Yang Liufang asked Zhang Feng to take a good sleep in the factory or in the car after sending his three apprentices back, so as not to cause an accident due to sleepiness while driving.
While waiting for Yanhua, Qin Jiajun, Wang Shan and Yinhua to come to work, they were surprised to see the partitions that had been made. Unexpectedly, an office was built overnight. Because an office of more than ten square meters has been separated, the area of the furniture hall has also become narrower. It seems that Yang Liufang still has the foresight to rent the adjacent store and expand the area of the furniture hall.
"Boss Yang, the office partition is finished, where is the office furniture?"
"This will wait until your manager Li comes back. We will use new furniture. Oh, by the way, I'll make a call." After Yang Liufang finished speaking, he didn't care about being sleepy after not resting all night, and dialed the number of Yiwu Jiesheng Factory. It still took five minutes. Then Li Tongfu came to pick him up.
"Brother, the first batch of office furniture has been sold to the Hongtuzhuang Village Committee. If you do this, look at those swivel chairs in the next two days. It would be best if you can negotiate with an agent. If you can't negotiate, buy 20 first. One of them needs to be high-end and given to the secretary of Hongtu Village."
"Oh, that's great. The ancient poem says that the victory is not yet achieved before we leave the army. We haven't even left the army yet, and we have already achieved a great victory."
"Well, I didn't expect that I just used these furniture in exchange for the bricks used in the factory. I couldn't collect any money for this batch of furniture. You see how the accounts are done. You can come back and discuss it with Yanhua later. In addition, the bathroom and canteen in the factory were closed yesterday. Construction has started, and Yanhua’s office has also been separated. Because the first putty was not dry, Daga and I will stay here for a day, and we will just polish it and paint it in the evening."
"Okay, brother, thank you for your hard work. Let's go find a hotel to rest."
"Well, Daga and I went to have a bowl of noodles, and then I went to the market to find Brother Chen and tell him about the money he used for the goods. If your expenses are not enough, I will squeeze out part of the money for the goods. Yanhua can I send it to you?"
"No, the money should be almost enough. The goods are almost ready. I'm going to check out the swivel chair today. After it's done, we'll take the Northern Express back together. However, the freight here may not be enough. You have to be ready when the goods arrive. It’s got to be paid off.”
"That's no problem, brother, take care of yourself outside. By the way, there's another good news. The land for the tannery factory you've been dreaming about has been secured, and it's in Hongtu Village. The price has also been negotiated, and I've mentioned the land conditions. We have privately asked Accountant Li to help us identify land."
"Wow! That's great! Brother, I'm so happy that I want to jump up now. Hongtu Village, Hongtu Village is better, better than Zhaomagou and Wangshawan. It's next to Wangqingchuan, so we don't have to worry about sewing. And the leather-cutting workers. It's also close to Xizhou City, and transportation is convenient..." Li Tongfu completely forgot that this was an inter-provincial long distance, costing two yuan a minute, and kept talking nonstop on the other end of the phone. Yang Liufang listened and was not willing to interrupt until Li Tongfu finished speaking.
"Brother, do you have anything else to do over there?"
"No, oh, I'm so excited."
"Then come back early and construction will start in two months. Have a safe journey."
"Well, okay. Let's do this for now, I'll hang up."
"goodbye."
After Yang Liufang finished talking on the phone, he asked Yanhua to help him book a standard room in a nearby hotel. He took Da Gaga to eat first, and then prepared to rest.
"Brother Qin, if Zhang Feng can't come back at noon, you can pick me up at the hotel. Let Yanhua choose one of the New Year gifts from the supplier. Let's go to the wholesale market and I'll go find Boss Chen. Let’s talk about something.” Before leaving, Yang Liufang told Qin Jiajun.
"Okay. Don't worry."
At noon, the Qin family army came to wake Yang Liufang up. Yang Liufang got up to wash up. Seeing that Da Ga was still sleeping, he didn't wake him up. After washing up, I went to have lunch with Qin Jiajun and brought back a bowl of beef noodles for Da Ga. After sending the noodles back to the hotel and waking Da Ga up to eat, the two of them set off to the wholesale market.
The Spring Festival has just ended, and the Xizhou Wholesale Market is already crowded. Everyone is busy purchasing and shipping goods. Yang Liufang and Qin Jiajun parked their cars and went directly to Boss Chen's stall. From afar, I saw Boss Chen busy. He walked up and shouted, "Brother Chen!"
"Hey, Al Fang, you're such a rare visitor! Why do you have time to come to my place?"
"I'm here to pay you for the delivery, brother." Yang Liufang said and presented the gift, "Happy New Year, may you get rich."
"Happy New Year, thank you brother, oh, my brother is so polite to bring gifts, it's really yours. Did you deliver this goods in person? Ah Fu hasn't come back yet?"
"Yes. My brother is still in his hometown and wants to buy a batch of goods."
"What kind of goods will be purchased? Can I participate?"
"It's furniture, Brother Chen. I'm buying a batch of office furniture materials. I'm going to expand the factory and open an office furniture production line."
"Haha, brother, congratulations to you. You are going to make a fortune again. If something good happens, don't forget me."
"Thank you, brother, don't worry. It's just that I want to use some of the money for this batch of goods first. I gave all the money from the supply and marketing cooperative and the factory to my brother and asked him to be responsible for purchasing the goods."
"Oh, that's okay. It doesn't matter how long it takes. If you don't feel like giving out money just after the New Year (a superstitious saying in Xizhou, you don't borrow money outside the first month to make money), I can get you some more."
"No, no, I am already very grateful to Brother Chen. This amount is enough. The supply and marketing cooperative will wait for the weather to get warmer and the decoration market to recover, and the business will get better."
"As long as it's enough. When the first month comes, if it's not enough, tell me and I'll get you some more."
"Brother Chen, I've already calculated Boss Zhou's account and brought it back. You should give it to him."
"Oh, wouldn't you be more nervous after you finished giving him?"
"It's okay, Brother Chen. I'm tighter, as long as I have normal liquidity. Let's give it to him first."
"Okay, if you don't have enough, you must speak up. There are not so many taboos in the first month. We businessmen would rather believe what they have than what they don't have." Boss Chen said to him and began to greet the guests again: "Hello, What do you want to order? Stationery, daily necessities, everything." Seeing that he was busy, Yang Liufang handed him Boss Zhou's payment and account details, and left in advance.
Yang Liufang and Da Ga worked another night shift and finished painting the finance office before returning to the factory. When we arrived at the factory, the bathroom had been remodeled, and the master chef and the village chief Shitou were staring at the canteen partitions. Seeing the outline of the canteen, which had no windows and was still being constructed with lights on during the day, Yang Liufang asked the workers who were building the wall if they could open some windows on the original exterior wall.
